In fact, he already had a follow-up evacuation plan, but Su Nan's confidence inspired him and made him abandon his original plan.

The commander-in-chief finally glanced this way.

He actually had a slight doubt in his heart.

He did not want to clash with the Great Xia delegation unless absolutely necessary.

However, Prince Nawen's actions crossed the family's bottom line.

Having ruled Cambodia for so long, they have long considered themselves the true masters of Cambodia.

The king was merely a tool they used to stabilize public sentiment, and they had already made arrangements for the crown prince.

In this situation, Prince Nawen's attempt to break the deadlock from Daxia completely angered the Hong family.

If we don't deal with Prince Nawen with swift and decisive action, what if someone follows his example in the future?

Many people have long had reservations about the Hong family's affairs, and if they show the slightest weakness, he has no doubt that they will take the risk.

Therefore, even if the people of Daxia wanted to protect him, he could not let Prince Nawen go.

Moreover, the highest-ranking member of the Great Xia delegation was only a vice minister.

This rank is considered a high-ranking official in Daxia, but there are many officials of the same or even higher rank, and they also have their own friends.

Even if he "accidentally" hurt the other party in the conflict, he believed that a sincere apology, coupled with sufficient benefits, would soften the attitude of the Great Xia side.

Even in the worst-case scenario, the Cambodian people would only face economic sanctions from the Great Xia government, causing them some hardship.

After all, the two sides are not neighbors, and the Great Xia has not waged war for many years, so it is unlikely that it would launch a campaign against them over this matter.

He knew very well that the United States had been trying to provoke Great Xia into war, but the other side had been restraining itself.

This matter can also serve as a pledge of allegiance, further strengthening their ties with the United States.

The foundation upon which the Hong family rose to power was the support of the Yue Kingdom and the tacit approval of the United States. Therefore, although he was unwilling, he was not afraid of angering the Great Xia Kingdom if things really developed to the worst possible state.

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, the commander-in-chief narrowed his eyes and nodded to another officer in charge of the battle.

Several soldiers had already approached the Great Xia delegation.

As the two strode toward Prince Nawen and reached out to grab him, Wang Jianqiang grabbed their arms from the side.

One by one, the gun barrels instantly turned and were aimed at Wang Jianqiang.

"Fire!" the officer shouted the order in the local language.

Those few in the delegation who understood panicked.

Prince Nawen's expression also changed drastically.

When the gunshots rang out, some people instinctively covered their heads and crouched down on the ground.

……

Chapter 168 Becoming a Dog of the Great Xia!

The moment the gunshot rang out, Wang Jianqiang instinctively felt panicked.

He instinctively reached out and grabbed two Cambodian soldiers nearby, shielding them in front of him. He noticed that the two were just yelling, but the bullets hadn't hit them yet. Instead, screams came from afar.

He looked up and was surprised to find that the screaming was from the officer who had given the order.

That guy was practically riddled with bullets!

How did all the bullets end up on him? Did they change direction in mid-air?

As he was still in shock, he heard screams, and then he saw the guns in the soldiers' hands suddenly rise into the air.

Not only the guns, but even the surrounding tanks flew up to a height of nearly ten meters and hovered motionless, with the soldiers on the tanks falling down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Wang Jianqiang was dumbfounded.

Prince Nawen opened his mouth wide and stared wide-eyed, so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out.

Those who had been lying face down with their heads in their hands also looked up when they heard the noise, and were equally shocked to see what they saw.

The director reacted the fastest, and after the initial shock, he quickly turned his gaze to Su Nan beside him.

He realized that this matter must be related to him!

As he turned his head, he saw Su Nan's body levitating and standing ten meters in the air.

It was a cloudy day, with no sunlight shining through the clouds, yet he felt that Su Nan was shrouded in a dazzling light, making it difficult for him to look directly at her.

The director swallowed hard, and a single word slowly popped into his mind.

god!

He must be a god!

Wang Jianqiang also turned to look at Su Nan high in the sky, his shock beyond words.

There were thousands of guns swarming in the air, and more than fifty armored vehicles and tanks!

Even Lei couldn't make these things levitate!

This is simply a miracle!

As he looked at Su Nan's figure, he felt that the other person's figure was becoming more and more awe-inspiring, and that kind of temperament gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

He had only ever felt a similar sensation with Haku.

He suddenly remembered what Lei Yao had said about the special characteristics of the Dragon Guards, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

Could it be that the White Dragon has appeared?

A loud bang interrupted Wang Jianqiang's thoughts.

The ground trembled and shook violently, accompanied by screams of agony.

He turned his head and saw that the guns and tanks in the air had all crashed to the ground, creating cracks and craters and kicking up clouds of dust.

Many soldiers were affected and were crying out in pain.

He turned his gaze to the commander-in-chief, sensing something amiss, and found that the man was no longer the arrogant figure he once was, but was now kneeling on the ground.

He could see from afar that the other person's body was still trembling, clearly terrified.

Wang Jianqiang looked at it for two seconds, then secretly shook his head and scoffed.

The other party's earlier tough stance made him think that this guy was a tough guy, but he didn't expect him to kneel down earlier than anyone else.

Others also noticed the commander-in-chief's behavior, so the officers and soldiers opposite him also knelt on the ground.

Seeing the trembling expressions on these people's faces, Prince Nawen felt a sense of profound clarity.

Looking up at Su Nan in the sky, he felt an urge to bow down in worship.

When he realized that everyone around him was standing still, he forced himself to stand up straight, his fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly as he tried his best to suppress the excitement and joy in his heart.

He knew he had made the right bet.

As expected of the Celestial Empire, no wonder it has been able to rise again and again after experiencing numerous calamities!

A strong impulse suddenly flashed through his mind.

……

Su Nan was filled with excitement.

Seeing the commander-in-chief, who had previously refused to look him in the eye, kneeling on the ground in panic, with not a single one of the thousands of soldiers daring to rebel, and the entire delegation filled with awe and admiration, he felt a sudden realization.

“Is this power?”

He could clearly feel that everyone's life and death depended on his single thought, making him feel like an apex predator looking at a group of harmless little rabbits when he faced them.

Even though he had lost control of his body, he still felt superior, which made him instinctively excited, yet also somewhat fearful for no reason.

Bai Lin, controlling his younger brother's body, was naturally able to sense the changes in his emotions.

“Power is a tool, while you yourself are the goal. You must not put the cart before the horse. If you are blinded by power, you will easily attract demonic energy into your body.” He warned, “Therefore, while you are cultivating, you must also cultivate your mind.”

“You can look down on these lives, whether they consider themselves noble or despised as worthless weeds, but you cannot ignore their existence or face their character,” he said. “If you can’t understand, remember one thing: always keep a calm mind.”

Su Nan said earnestly, "Brother, I've got it!"

"Did you understand my technique?" Bai Lin asked again.

Su Nan pondered for a few seconds before nodding and saying, "I understand."

Being in the same body, he could clearly perceive Bai Lin's every move.

The reason why all those guns and tanks flew up and crashed to the ground was not due to Bai Lin's own power, but rather the power he applied to this magical ring.

Of course, he didn't come without a price; in order to harness the power of the ring, he infused it with ample spiritual energy.

Now that he has used less than one-tenth of his spiritual power, he only needs to repeat the process to mobilize the power of the ring and do what his brother did.

"I'm entrusting this place to you. Do you have confidence?" Bai Lin asked.

“I can,” Su Nan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt himself regaining control of his body.

Caught off guard, his body swayed in the air and he almost fell, but fortunately he reacted in time and regained his footing.

Although the incident happened very quickly, Wang Jianqiang below kept looking up.

His eyes narrowed subconsciously, as if Su Nan's demeanor had suddenly changed in that instant, as if she were a completely different person.

After regaining his footing, Su Nan tried to make the gun tank on the ground fly up again.

A series of cracking sounds came, and seeing that the tank that had almost hit him earlier was about to take off again, the commander-in-chief, who was kneeling on the ground, turned pale and almost cried out.

Fortunately, the chariot fell back down when it was less than ten centimeters off the ground, making only a muffled thud.

"Are you willing to talk now?" Su Nan asked, looking down at him.

Before the trembling translator could even speak, the Commander-in-Chief hurriedly shouted, "Wo Yuan Yi!"

"So this guy can speak Daxia language!" The director looked at the man and felt a surge of satisfaction. "He's just too bad at it; he needs to practice!"

Su Nan took a deep look at the people kneeling on the ground before slowly landing from the air.

……

That night.

Inside the Royal Palace in the Cambodian capital.

Prince Nawen practiced the "Divine Crane Skill" over and over again.

He was drenched in sweat, his clothes were almost soaked through, and he drank bottle after bottle of water, but he still didn't feel anything unusual.

This discouraged him to the point of despair.

Su Nan's performance today is still vivid in my mind, as if a god had descended from heaven, and the impact on him is self-evident.

Although Su Nan's friendly attitude made the Hong family members much more amiable towards him, and even Hong Sen personally came to get close to him at the banquet, saying that he would recommend him as the crown prince, he was happy but also felt a little worried.

If Su Nan had given his full support, he was confident that he could easily change the situation in Cambodia and become the de facto king. But the problem was that the other party would not do that, and he had already done more than enough.

After all, he had made it clear before that he would only help him wholeheartedly if he showed his loyalty to the Great Xia.

The way to demonstrate loyalty is to learn the "Divine Crane Skill," and whether one can learn it depends on whether one is wholeheartedly devoted to the Great Xia.

This caused Prince Nawen to rack his brains, almost to the point of exhaustion.

He tried his best to brainwash himself, to convince himself to admire the Great Xia, and even to tell himself that he was a person of the Great Xia, but to no avail.

He even hung a Chinese flag in front of his bedroom and sang the Chinese national anthem in front of the flag, but there was still no progress.

Does this mean I should become a citizen of Great Xia?

Prince Nawen scratched his hair vigorously.

Not to mention that obtaining citizenship of Great Xia is not an easy thing, there is simply not enough time.

"What should I do?" He sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the golden palace in the distance that reflected the golden light under the moonlight, his expression becoming more and more confused.

He specifically sought Wang Jianqiang's corrections, and his movements were no longer off-target, so the problem clearly lay in his mindset.

He felt he admired the Great Xia enough, so why was it still not enough?

Is it because I am not devout enough?
