The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

"Yang Xia, don't tell me you did all of this. You don't have that kind of ability, do you?"

Cahill didn't even know what he was saying. Yang Xia in front of him seemed to be no ordinary person, and his prediction was truly terrifying.

Having just said those inexplicable things, and then such strange events happening around the waters of the Atlan Empire, it's hard for Cahill not to suspect that Yang Xia was behind it all.

But why does Yang Xia possess such extraordinary abilities? He racked his brains but couldn't figure it out, which is why he asked such a strange question.

"Hahahahaha..."

"As I just said, it is the will of Heaven. Even the heavens will help righteous nations like yours. You are destined to perish."

Yang Xia certainly couldn't reveal that he possessed a weather controller; if word got out, the Great Zhou Dynasty would become the target of public criticism.

However, seeing Cahill's panicked state still made Yang Xia feel particularly pleased.

"What have you done? You're a monster!"

Cahill's gaze toward Yang Xia became particularly complex; he didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.

"General Cahill, something terrible has happened! The Great Zhou Dynasty has launched an attack on our port, and the soldiers of the Atlan Empire have suffered heavy casualties."

Before Cahill could even process what was happening, he received another piece of news, and he completely broke down.

"Damn it, what are you all standing there for? Arrest Yang Xia right now! If those people from the Great Zhou Dynasty dare to make any rash moves, kill Yang Xia."

Cahill glared fiercely at Yang Xia and ordered his men to rush forward, trying to subdue Yang Xia.

"That's simply overestimating themselves!"

Yang Xia smiled dismissively, confident that he could easily defeat all of them by himself.

Cahill panicked completely. Yang Xia in front of him was like a god, with immense strength, and his men had no way of taking him down.

Just then, General Meng Yu led his men, having already conquered the port of the Atlan Empire, and stormed into the main hall.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

After General Meng Yu rushed over, he hurriedly greeted Yang Xia, who was incredibly bold to confront Cahill face-to-face all by himself.

"Of course I'm fine. These cunning guys are doomed."

Yang Xia shook his head indifferently.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty had already taken Cahill into custody.

Yang Xia captured Cahill with such ease that even at the very end, Cahill felt like he was dreaming.

He originally thought that with the help of the powerful Nebula Kingdom, he could share the Great Zhou Dynasty with them, but unexpectedly he became a prisoner in the blink of an eye.

Cahill was filled with regret. If he had known that the Great Zhou Dynasty was so powerful, he should have sincerely cooperated with the Great Zhou Dynasty in trade and could have lived a peaceful and stable life.

But it's too late to say anything now; this is the consequence of greed.

"General Meng Yu, you shall now take Cahill back to the Great Zhou Dynasty and await the final judgment."

Yang Xia immediately ordered General Meng Yu to return to the capital. They had won another brilliant battle without losing a single soldier, which had almost become a characteristic of Yang Xia.

Cahill finally lowered his proud head, realizing that Yang Xia was the most powerful figure and that the Great Zhou Dynasty was sacred and inviolable.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a hidden achievement and earned 10,000 points.]

Yang Xia suddenly received this system notification. His remote control had won the war, and he had fought a brilliant battle. Unexpectedly, he had earned so many points for himself.

Looking at all those points, Yang Xia felt he should do something meaningful.

Now the conflict with the Nebula Nation has escalated further. He believes that he should also upgrade his tower defense cannon to double its power so that it can be used when war breaks out.

Yang Xia checked the specific price for upgrading the tower defense cannon, which was exactly 10,000 points, and upgraded without hesitation.

In military matters, Yang Xia was the most willing to put in a lot of effort, and only in this way could their military strength become exceptionally powerful.

The upgraded tower defense cannon has a range that has increased by one-third and its power has increased by 0.5 times.

In other words, the tower defense cannons could previously only attack the outer seas of the Atlan Empire, but now they can attack within the territory of the Atlan Empire.

This is a huge development; the tower defense cannon is incredibly powerful and truly intimidating.

With a more powerful tower defense cannon, Yang Xia felt much more at ease. In the future, the tower defense cannon will likely be put to greater use.

Yang Xia used some more points to upgrade the Omnipotent Spirit Spring.

The upgraded All-Purpose Spirit Spring can completely cure the previous strange poison and plague, and there will be no longer any fear of those with ulterior motives poisoning the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"General Meng Yu, you can go and fetch the water from the All-Powerful Spring now for the people who have not yet fully recovered to drink."

"The current All-Purpose Spring Water is more effective than before, and it is guaranteed that there will be no more toxin residue."

Yang Xia hurriedly ordered General Meng Yu to fetch the water from the All-Powerful Spirit Spring to completely rescue the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty from their suffering.

Although the Nebula Kingdom had already been forced to hand over the antidote formula, the All-Powerful Spring was a more direct solution.

This simple and effective method quickly helped the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be completely detoxified, and they would no longer be troubled by poison and plague.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has completely restored its former prosperity. The people are grateful and take to the streets to sing praises of Yang Xia's greatness.

"Our king is truly wise and capable, having completely defeated the plague and the strange poison. No other country can compare to him."

"Yes, with a leader like Your Majesty, our Great Zhou Dynasty is destined to become more and more prosperous. I feel extremely honored to be born in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty became increasingly supportive of Yang Xia, and he was the most talked-about topic during their leisure time.

"Why is Your Majesty so powerful? You never even lose a single soldier in every battle."

"Your Majesty is simply a god! He must be no ordinary person, but a deity."

"Your Majesty is even more powerful than a god. Our Great Zhou Dynasty is blessed. Things will only get better and better from now on."

……

The people were constantly talking about it, praising Yang Xia to an indescribable degree.

General Meng Yu and General Meng Yin were also very pleased to hear the people praising Yang Xia.

"Your Majesty, you didn't go out and listen to how the people sing your praises. At least your efforts weren't in vain."

"Yes, Your Majesty has indeed worked hard these past few days, doing so much for the Great Zhou Dynasty."

The two generals also greatly admired Yang Xia, and they felt extremely honored to be able to follow him.

Hearing everyone's praises, Yang Xia smiled and shook his head. These things were not important; as long as the Great Zhou Dynasty could move forward normally, that was enough.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for achieving the stage achievement [Compassionate Monarch] and gaining 2,000 points.] Just then, the system delivered this reward; truly, good things come one after another.

Yang Xia returned in triumph, having won another brilliant battle, and the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was naturally overjoyed.

They were particularly supportive of Yang Xia. With a ruler like Yang Xia, the Great Zhou Dynasty would become increasingly stable and prosperous, and would no longer have to fear invasions from other powerful nations.

However, after this incident, Yang Xia realized that Xingyun Kingdom could not be allowed to remain and that he should take the initiative to attack.

Ambitious nations like Nebula Kingdom are unlikely to love peace; therefore, the only option is to take the initiative.

After making up his mind, Yang Xia ordered General Meng Yu to summon all the ministers to the council hall.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are all waiting in the council chamber."

After arranging everything, General Meng Yu came over to report to Yang Xia.

"Alright, let's go to the council hall together. There are some things that need to be resolved thoroughly."

Yang Xia spoke with a hidden meaning.

He then led Meng Yu to the council hall, where all the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were already waiting.

They whispered amongst themselves, wondering what important matter Yang Xia had gathered them together to discuss.

They all found the battle fought by the Atlantean Empire somewhat unbelievable.

They came quickly and left quickly; before they could even react, Cahill had already been captured.

"My ministers, today our main topic is the expedition."

"The Nebula Kingdom has always been ambitious, and we cannot give up so easily. It would be better to take a decisive and permanent approach. Therefore, we have decided to take the initiative."

Yang Xia bluntly told them his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, you must not! The Xingyun Kingdom is vast, and their weapons are extremely advanced. If our small Great Zhou Dynasty were to fight against the Xingyun Kingdom, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock."

"Yes, Your Majesty, even if we are to attack the Nebula Kingdom, we should try to unite with the Yan Kingdom. Our Great Zhou Dynasty has limited strength, and it would be quite risky."

As soon as Yang Xia spoke, he was met with opposition from some ministers, who did not advocate taking the initiative to fight.

These ministers were always hesitant and dared not easily launch a war, fearing that the Great Zhou Dynasty would be affected.

"We should still take the initiative. As for contacting Yan Kingdom, the time is not yet ripe. Let's talk about it later."

Yang Xia explained to the ministers with a wry smile that he hoped they would not always be so timid and hesitant, otherwise they would not be able to accomplish anything.

As for the alliance with Yan Kingdom, Yang Xia had considered it. If it were before, he would have joined forces with Yan Kingdom to attack Xingyun Kingdom without hesitation, even without the ministers' suggestion.

However, a series of sudden changes had created a rift between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Yan Kingdom.

The existing conflicts have deepened, so how could Yan Kingdom possibly join forces with the Great Zhou Dynasty to attack Xingyun Kingdom?

In order to completely resolve the conflict with Yan Kingdom, it is also necessary to fight Xingyun Kingdom. In short, no matter what, Yang Xia is determined to go to war with Xingyun Kingdom.

On the one hand, he wanted to curb the arrogance of the Nebula Kingdom, and on the other hand, he wanted to prove to the Great Zhou Dynasty that he had not colluded with the Nebula Kingdom.

Facts speak louder than words. I believe that by then, even if I don't say a word, the people of Yan will understand what's going on.

Of course, Yang Xia didn't need to explain so much to the ministers; he could simply proceed according to his plan.

"My ministers, my mind is made up. We will now proceed with our plans and launch a preemptive strike against the Nebula Kingdom."

Yang Xia disregarded the ministers' objections and refused to let their indecisiveness ruin his plans.

They then prepared to begin deployments according to their previous plan and take the initiative to launch a war against the Nebula Kingdom.

At this time, the Great Zhou Dynasty already possessed the necessary conditions, and the power of the tower defense cannons increased by one-third.

The all-powerful spring is their essential national treasure, capable of perfectly reducing soldier casualties, making them virtually fearless.

Even without the cooperation of the Yan Kingdom, Yang Xia was confident of winning this battle.

Just then, a soldier rushed in from outside the door to deliver a message.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! A large fleet has appeared in the waters of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it looks like it's coming on strong."

Yang Xia was somewhat surprised when his subordinates suddenly reported this news.

Before he could even make a move, the other party had already come knocking on his door. Needless to say, it was those people from the Nebula Kingdom who came to invade.

However, Yang Xia felt that their arrival was just in time. He hadn't gone looking for them, but they had come to him. Even if he wiped them out completely, other countries wouldn't be able to say anything against it.

However, his ministers were greatly alarmed. They had not expected the war to come so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the seas of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Those who had previously opposed the war were especially surprised.

"Your Majesty, your decision was indeed too hasty. Even if we don't attack the Nebula Kingdom, they won't behave themselves."

"The Nebula Kingdom has always been quite powerful and has long been eyeing our Great Zhou Dynasty. In the end, they finally took the initiative to attack."

Those ministers who opposed the war began to offer hindsight advice, thinking themselves to be prophetic.

They further believed that they should not have attacked the Nebula Kingdom proactively, as their Great Zhou Dynasty probably did not have the strength to do so.

These ministers have always preferred to remain timid and hide behind the scenes, with no intention of shedding blood and sweat for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When there is no war, these people can live a peaceful and comfortable life in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so they naturally do not want to start a war.

Generals Meng Yu and Meng Yin were very disdainful of the ministers' behavior.

Of course, I know exactly what these people are thinking; they have no desire to contribute to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The longer they stayed by Yang Xia's side, the more Generals Meng Yu and Meng Yin trusted him.

They can always win a decisive and beautiful battle, and ensure that there are few casualties, or even no soldiers lost.

They had long trusted Yang Xia implicitly, and seeing these ministers always so timid and hesitant, they even felt a bit disgusted.

Everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty should have the determination to contribute to it, but these people only want to be parasites in the Great Zhou Dynasty, only wanting to enjoy themselves and unwilling to give anything.

“We think Your Majesty is very wise. You should have eliminated the ambitious Nebula Kingdom as soon as possible, so that they would not be able to invade every few days.”

"Yes, if we wipe them out completely, we'll have less to worry about in the future."

Generals Meng Yu and Meng Yin advocated taking the initiative to attack according to Yang Xia's plan.

"Your Majesty, please don't! The Nebula Kingdom is coming with overwhelming force. We should find a way to make peace."

Some cowardly ministers actually raised this suggestion, but Yang Xia simply waved them away. (End of Chapter)
