Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

One of the officials became increasingly angry, so he went up and kicked him hard, knocking him unconscious.

The black-clad warriors who rushed in from behind were so frightened that they dared not speak and stood there trembling.

Half a minute passed.

One of the leaders finally spoke slowly: "Speak, what's the matter that you're in such a panic?"

"Your Majesty, news has just arrived from Great Xia. Great Xia's powerful warriors have begun to assemble, saying they are about to..."

At this point, the black-clad warrior's face turned extremely ugly; he wanted to speak but dared not.

"What do you want? Tell me quickly!"

Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, the faces of the several leaders immediately darkened, a bad premonition welled up in their hearts, and a strong sense of unease surged into their minds.

"They said they wanted to trample cherry blossoms with their horses!"

After saying those words, the Black Knight seemed to have all his strength drained away.

He was already mentally prepared for what was to come.

really--

The next moment, a slap that flashed with a terrifying light came flying down.

As expected, with a loud "smack," the hand slammed heavily onto the body with terrifying force, sending him flying.

Because he was prepared, he secretly used magic to cover the attacked area the moment the attack came, and used the recoil force of the attack to fly far away. He also cleverly spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

"You tell me!"

The ruler looked coldly at a black-clad warrior behind him.

"You can see on the forum that spies from within Great Xia have already sent over information about what's happening over there," the man said, his voice trembling with fear.

"Baka!"

Just as the person in power was about to lose his temper again, a loud shout rang out: "Enough!"

The leader's face was extremely gloomy: "Repeat the message sent back from Great Xia exactly as it was sent back."

in fact--

After receiving the same report from three Darth Vaders in a row, they had already reached a conclusion about the matter.

What Darth Vader said is true!

They just don't want to believe it right now.

A moment later.

After listening to the Black Knight's full report, the group's faces turned ashen. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and waves of fear rushed to their heads.

"Those damned Great Xia people actually dared to attack us?"

"Damn it! How dare they?"

The news was confirmed; some people turned pale and muttered to themselves.

"Yes, in just over a month, we'll be fully prepared, and the plan to invade Great Xia will be launched. Why now of all times?"

"It's been over a month since it was moved up, and we're still not ready! What are we going to do?"

The voice of the person in power was trembling, completely losing the composure and calmness of someone in a position of authority.

They were the ones who had been planning to invade the Great Xia Dynasty all along, and everything was ready except for the final step.

How did things suddenly turn against the Heavenly Gang?

Before they could even make a move, the Great Xia was already attacking—

"What do we do now?"

"According to intelligence, the Great Xia has created a magical spaceship capable of flying across the ocean. This means that their powerful figures can appear on our land at any time, which is an enormous blow to us."

"The most crucial thing is, we're not ready yet!"

The eyes of all those in power fell on the leader.

I hope to find some reassurance from him.

Seeing the gazes directed at him, the leader clenched his fists tightly to ease his fear.

"According to the intelligence, the powerful figures from Great Xia are still gathering. I estimate it will take at least seven or eight days for them to arrive in our country. During this time, they will definitely complete the ultimate evolution of the Nuclear Black Warrior. We can send as many as they want then—"

"How many will die!"

The leader in power spoke loudly and in a fierce tone.

It seems that only in this way can the fear in one's heart be driven away.

Don't be fooled by their previous brazen behavior, constantly talking about invading the Great Xia and ignoring the powerful figures like Emperor Yan and Dawn.

But when that day actually arrives—

They then realized that the Great Xia person had left a terrible mark on their hearts.

A mark called "fear".

Emperor Yan was like a towering mountain weighing on everyone's hearts, unscalable. He was also like a sword of death hanging overhead, causing them to tremble with fear at any moment.

"Sakura Country, I will bring you true darkness and despair!"

Lin Yu's chilling words still echoed in his ears, like the resounding call of death.

"Can the Ultimate Nuclear Black Warrior really defeat the Flame Emperor of Great Xia?"

One of them still spoke up, uneasy.

"Don't worry, even if we're no match for them, the Black Knight will eventually take the Flame Emperor down with him." The leader of the group said with certainty.

He couldn't show the slightest hesitation, otherwise, they might fall apart before the Great Xia even attacked.

"Then let's hurry up and get the Ultimate Dark Knight out as soon as possible."

Seeing the affirmation on the leader's face, the people in power finally felt a little relieved, and their fear dissipated considerably.

"However, even if the Black Knight can perish together with several of the Great Xia's super strongmen, if the battlefield is set on our Sakura homeland, the final losses will be enormous."

"What's there to be afraid of? As long as we can win and annihilate all the powerful Xia warriors who come here, invading Xia will be a piece of cake. It's just a matter of changing the land. We don't need this Sakura homeland."

"That's right. We've come this far, so some sacrifices are necessary."

After a lively discussion, the group regained a lot of confidence.

Sudden.

One of them spoke up: "I think we can also contact other major powers about this. If they can take action, our chances of winning will be much greater."

"Our Sakura region is surrounded by endless oceans from the other six great nations. How can we help?" Someone frowned.

"No, I think this is feasible."

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the leading figure: "This operation by Great Xia will surely make the major powers feel threatened, and they will be afraid. Even if they cannot come, we can take this opportunity to ask them for some assistance."

"They probably don't want to see the Great Xia Kingdom become the sole superpower."

"If they could kill a powerful figure like Emperor Yan, they would definitely be tempted."

As he spoke, the eyes of the others lit up.

"That's right. Even if their strongest warriors can't come, if they have any powerful weapons or anything like that, they can be teleported over through the trading market."

The more they talked, the more excited they became.

At that moment, they felt a glimmer of hope for victory.

"By the way, since the war has been brought forward, let's tell the spies within the Great Xia territory that we can start making our move."

A chilling glint flashed in the eyes of the one in power, and murderous intent surged forth.

"Okay, I'll go and inform them right away."
