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

"Yes, what exactly do you want? Just say it."

Cahill was also extremely surprised; this outcome was completely unexpected.

"Haven't I made myself perfectly clear? From tomorrow onwards, you will be free."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you something. The Atlan Empire no longer exists and has been incorporated into the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Yang Xia's sudden announcement shocked Cahill.

"I did this for the sake of the entire Atlan Empire. I did not want to start a brutal war, and incorporating it into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be the best outcome."

Yang Xia informed Cahill of the current state of the Atlantean Empire, which was certainly not a joke.

Cahill then realized that the Atlantean Empire had met such a tragic end. Although it had not been wiped out like the Red Cake Kingdom, it no longer belonged to him.

Cahill was furious, his face turning ashen, but he ultimately remained silent.

Because he understood that the tide had turned, and even if he voiced his opposition, it would be futile.

The only option is to bury this hatred deep in one's heart and wait for an opportunity to take revenge; there is no other way.

The next day, at the crack of dawn, Yang Xia ordered General Meng Yu to release the people.

"General Meng, go and release those two men. Do everything as we agreed beforehand."

After calmly arranging the matter, Yang Xia stopped thinking about it and handed it over to General Meng Yu to handle, so naturally there would be no mistakes.

Meng Yu accepted the order and immediately released Liu Zhixiu and Cahill.

After their release, the two immediately boarded a ship of the Great Zhou Dynasty and headed to the second island of the Great Zhou Kingdom, which was formerly the Atlan Empire.

They were eager to see what the Atlan Empire had become, and whether it had truly been incorporated into the Great Zhou Kingdom as Yang Xia had said.

Cahill simply couldn't believe it was true; it was the Atlantean Empire where he had lived for generations.

However, when they returned to the place, they found that everything had changed.

General Meng Yu is currently guarding this place, and he is treating the two of them as hosts.

"Welcome, gentlemen, to the second island of the Great Zhou Kingdom."

"All guests are welcome, and I will certainly treat you well and arrange accommodations for you later."

General Meng Yu greeted the two with a broad smile, feeling immensely proud.

It is a great honor to be able to follow Yang Xia. The Great Zhou Dynasty is growing stronger and stronger, and its territory has now expanded. The Atlan Empire has successfully become a part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

No wonder General Meng Yu was so proud; he acted as if he were the master of the place, treating Cahill as a guest. Cahill was so angry that he almost fainted.

Cahill, who once held absolute power in the Atlan Empire, is now only able to appear on this land as a guest, which is naturally hard for him to accept.

But the facts were undeniable, and even with his burning anger, Cahill could only suppress it.

"Come with me, I'll arrange accommodations for you, and you can live here in peace from now on."

General Meng Yu led them to a residence by the sea, and after they settled in, he turned and left.

Cahill's face was extremely grim. His situation was no better than Yoo Ji-soo's; he was watching helplessly as his Atlantean Empire was invaded.

His heart was bleeding, yet he had no better way to solve the problem, and his heart was filled with hatred.

"I never expected that your Atlan Empire would be destroyed like this, not much different from our Red Cake Kingdom."

Liu Zhixiu finally couldn't hold back and coldly uttered these words.

"I will never give up and I will definitely take back the Atlan Empire."

Cahill clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fury.

Not long after General Meng Yu left, Su Qi appeared furtively in front of the two of them.

"I never expected that Yang Xia would do something like this, annexing the Atlantean Empire into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is really too much." Su Qi deliberately fanned the flames, knowing full well that Cahill was filled with anger at the moment.

"I will kill Yang Xia with my own hands and reclaim our Atlan Empire," Cahill said through gritted teeth, his fists clenched.

“That’s right, I will also assist you, which is why I’ve come to discuss the next steps.” Seeing Cahill’s indignation, Su Qi was very satisfied; this was exactly the scene he wanted to see.

"I don't want to stay here a moment longer. The glory of the Atlan Empire must be restored as soon as possible." "As long as you are willing to help me restore the glory of the Atlan Empire, I will sign any agreement with the Nebula Kingdom." Cahill's eyes were bloodshot, filled with murderous intent. He knew that he was now like a stray dog, powerless to resist, and could only place his hopes on the Nebula Kingdom.

He knew a little about the strength of the Nebula Kingdom; it possessed advanced weaponry, enough to rival the Great Zhou Dynasty. In order to recreate the former glory of the Atlantean Empire, Cahill went all out and proactively offered this suggestion.

Upon hearing Cahill's words, a cold smile immediately appeared on Su Qi's lips; his goal had been achieved.

"Is this true? Then sign an agreement with our Nebula Kingdom. We will definitely help the Atlan Empire restore its former glory, and even make it stronger than before." Su Qi was prepared and immediately took out an agreement from his pocket and placed it in front of Cahill.

Cahill was stunned, not expecting that Su Qi had produced the agreement so soon after he raised his idea. It seemed the other side had been planning this all along, and he had already fallen into their trap. Needless to say, this agreement was extremely unfair to the Atlantean Empire. After a cursory glance, Cahill's heart sank—this agreement was indeed too unfair, filled with unequal clauses. Apart from retaining the name of the Atlantean Empire, all other benefits belonged to the Nebula Kingdom, and all rights were subject to its unconditional obedience.

In other words, once this agreement is signed, the Atlantean Empire will practically become a vassal state of the Nebula Kingdom.

Cahill's heart was bleeding. The Atlantean Empire was doomed; he could never regain its former glory. It would either be forcibly incorporated into the Great Zhou Kingdom or firmly controlled by the Nebula Kingdom. From now on, there would be no more completely independent Atlantean Empire in the world, a fact that naturally caused Cahill immense distress.

“Suqi, this treaty is so unfair! Not a single clause benefits our Atlan Empire.” “Even if there were just a tiny bit of benefit that favors our Atlan Empire, it would be better. You are all too greedy.” Cahill couldn’t help but express his dissatisfaction, and he also wanted to do his best to protect the interests of the Atlan Empire.

“General Cahill, how can you go back on your word? You were the one who said you wanted to sign an agreement with our Nebula Nation.” “You only see that our Nebula Nation gained some advantages in the agreement, but you don’t see how much we have to pay for it.” Su Qi calmly defended the Nebula Nation, claiming that this matter was also difficult for them and required a huge price to pay.

“But no matter what, this treaty is too unfair. Could it be revised?” Cahill said to Su Qi in a consultative tone. He wanted to use the power of the Nebula Kingdom to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he also wanted to maximize the interests of the Atlan Empire. He had restored the Atlan Empire to have a complete country, not to be divided up and fragmented.

Cahill was extremely uncomfortable with the treaty before him, so he tried to negotiate with Suzie, hoping there was still room for maneuver.

"General Cahill, if you sincerely wish to cooperate with our Nebula Kingdom, you must sign this agreement; otherwise, all talk is meaningless." Su Qi stood firm, knowing Cahill had no way out. He seized this opportunity to extort a hefty sum from the Atlan Empire. Since they were going to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty anyway, taking the Atlan Empire under their wing would undoubtedly be an even greater victory.

“General Cahill, one should know how to repay kindness. Our Nebula Kingdom is helping your Atlan Empire. How dare you bargain?” Su Qi revealed his shameless face, intending to openly annex the Atlan Empire.

Liu Zhixiu observed everything calmly from the sidelines. He remained indifferent, unconcerned that the Atlantean Empire faced a fate similar to that of the Red Cake Kingdom, which actually brought him a sense of peace.

"General Cahill, you should just sign it. The situation of the Atlantean Empire is much better than that of our Red Cake Kingdom." Liu Zhixiu actually advised from the side. In fact, he was just waiting to see the joke. Human nature is treacherous after all.

“But it’s better not to sign such an unequal treaty, because our Atlantean Empire will still be unable to become an independent country.” Cahill was very unhappy and had no intention of signing the agreement.

“General Cahill, you are sorely mistaken. Even if this agreement is somewhat unfair, the Nebula Kingdom has paid a heavy price for it.” “At the very least, it has preserved the territory of the Atlantean Empire. Are you really going to just stand by and watch the Atlantean Empire disappear from the world?” Liu Zhixiu suddenly took on the role of a persuader, and he even desperately hoped that Cahill would sign the agreement.

"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. With General Cahill's skillful tactics, everything will be alright in the future." Liu Zhixiu persuaded and comforted him, finally persuading Cahill to compromise and grit his teeth to sign the unfair contract.

"That's right. Just wait patiently, and our Nebula Kingdom will definitely help you reclaim the Atlan Empire." Seeing that the other party had finally signed the agreement, Su Qi put it away with satisfaction and then turned to leave without hesitation. Now that his goal had been achieved, all he needed to do next was to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty, thus killing two birds with one stone.

At this moment, Yang Xia was already leading his fleet on the vast ocean. Last night, under the cover of darkness, Yang Xia led over a hundred speedboats towards the Nebula Kingdom. The scene was quite grand, and Yang Xia was determined to deliver a heavy blow to the Nebula Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, if the enemy sends ordinary ships, we can easily dodge and avoid them." "But the Nebula Kingdom's weapons are very advanced. Once they deploy heavy warships, their firepower will cover a very wide area, and it may even cause a great loss to our strength." General Mengyin expressed his concerns. Yang Xia had mobilized almost the entire fleet of the Great Zhou Dynasty this time, showing his firm determination.

However, a fierce counterattack from the Nebula Kingdom could still have dire consequences. He even felt that Yang Xia's decision was somewhat hasty; if all the fleets suffered heavy losses, the Great Zhou Dynasty would also be affected. If the Nebula Kingdom attacked the Great Zhou Dynasty again, they would be powerless to resist.

General Mengyin's concerns were not unfounded. Currently, most of the Great Zhou Dynasty's military force had been transferred to the sea by Yang Xia. If adverse consequences occurred, the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be shaken.

Yang Xia understood what General Mengyin was worried about, so he smiled and comforted him.

"General Meng, there's no need to worry. Every one of our soldiers now belongs to the Undying Legion." "As long as the enemy can't bring us to the point of no return, no one will die." Yang Xia said this with a smile, revealing his trump card. Since he dared to mobilize most of the Great Zhou Dynasty's strength, he was confident in his abilities.

He had successfully upgraded the All-Powerful Spring, making it capable of curing all ailments, including plagues, poisonings, and various injuries. It was precisely because of the All-Powerful Spring that Yang Xia was so fearless.

The actions of the Nebula Kingdom had thoroughly enraged Yang Xia, and he was determined to make them pay the price. No matter how advanced the Nebula Kingdom's weapons were, they couldn't harm his soldiers in the slightest. Before setting off, Yang Xia had already ordered his men to fetch water from the All-Powerful Spirit Spring to be carried on board.

The undead legion's combat power was naturally terrifying, and Yang Xia was confident of victory, without any worries. However, this was his secret, and Yang Xia would not reveal it to anyone in detail. These super treasures exchanged from the system must not be discovered by other countries, otherwise the Great Zhou Dynasty would become the target of everyone's attacks sooner or later.

General Mengyin listened with a bewildered expression, but out of boundless trust in Yang Xia, he didn't press the matter. Yang Xia always delivered on his promises, making them feel as if he were a god. Previous battles had been won without a single loss of soldiers, and even the weather seemed to cooperate perfectly, as if controlled by Yang Xia, always achieving flawless results. General Mengyin had no reason not to believe Yang Xia.

He was also full of confidence in the war and immediately ordered the fleet to advance at full speed.

"Your Majesty is wise; I believe we will achieve victory this time as well."

Despite his bewildered expression, General Mengyin still chose to trust Yang Xia.

After several operations, each one went according to Yang Xia's plan and the final result was very satisfactory, which made Meng Yin deeply trust him.

Their fleet sailed at full speed on the high seas, completely unnoticed by the Nebula Kingdom. This was exactly the effect Yang Xia wanted—to catch them off guard.

At this rate of travel, they should be able to reach the Nebula Kingdom's waters that afternoon.

"Your Majesty, we will arrive this afternoon. Just thinking about it is incredibly exciting. We must crush the enemy."

Meng Yin was extremely excited. Every time he was led by Yang Xia, he was able to win a brilliant battle, sometimes without losing a single soldier.

General Mengyin was even more excited, especially since this battle was aimed at the Xingyun Kingdom, as they had long disliked the Xingyun Kingdom.

The ambitions of the Nebula Kingdom are well known, and Yang Xia's initiative to attack this time naturally made Meng Yin feel very pleased.

"Yes, we're all holding our breath, so naturally we're going to let the Nebula Kingdom experience our power."

Yang Xia smiled and nodded; they were all eager to see the final result.

Meanwhile, Anna successfully got close to Yu Meiren under the pretense of live streaming, and they became increasingly intimate, even going so far as to enter their room.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect our live stream together to be so successful. It's quite gratifying."

"If we could bring the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty along for the live broadcast, I believe the effect would be even better."

Anna chatted happily with Yu Meiren, but her eyes kept scanning Yu Meiren's room, searching for Yang Xia.

As instructed by Su Qi, Anna now has to protect Yang Xia's safety; she cannot afford any consequences if anything goes wrong. (End of Chapter)
