Chapter 963
This will be terrible if things continue like this.
Tanawu made this statement about the impending war through gritted teeth in order to intimidate neighboring countries and warn them that there would be no good end for them to oppose the Moonlight Kingdom.
The surrounding countries certainly understood Tanawu's sinister intentions. Seeing them chasing after Phil's chips was itself a provocation against Tanawu.
However, since many neighboring countries had done the same, Tanawu couldn't target any one of them, and coincidentally, Ruwa of Ivory Coast had offended him.
During this period, Tanawut began to launch a fierce attack on Ivory Coast, and war was about to break out. Other countries were also worried for Ivory Coast.
Ruwa was so frightened he almost wet his pants; Tanawu was determined to wipe out the Ivory Kingdom.
The Ivory Kingdom is already teetering on the brink of collapse and in chaos. If the Moonlight Kingdom launches a war at this time, the Ivory Kingdom will undoubtedly be defeated.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? The Moonlight Kingdom is going to war with our Ivory Kingdom. If this continues, things will be terrible."
The court officials around Ruva could no longer sit still; they all realized that the Ivory Kingdom was about to perish.
The Ivory Country is now in such a miserable state that the ministers dare not openly blame Ruva, even though it was all Ruva's doing.
He had committed countless evil deeds alongside Tanawu, which led to his current predicament. But they were, after all, ministers of the Ivory Kingdom, and couldn't simply stand by and watch their country perish.
"Your Majesty, Tanawu is extremely cruel. Why not seek peace with the Kingdom of Phil, even if it costs us everything?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, in the long run, seeking help from the Kingdom of Phil is the most advantageous option. The Kingdom of Phil is becoming increasingly powerful, and only they can help the Kingdom of Ivory."
……
These court officials offered various suggestions, advising Ruva to seek help from the Kingdom of Phil, saying that even if it came at a great cost, it would be worth it, as it was much better than being destroyed.
Ruva nodded in agreement, knowing the ministers were right. Ivory Kingdom had no way out; to avoid annihilation, it could only turn to Phil for help.
"This time, we probably have to use all our national resources to ask the Kingdom of Phil for help, otherwise they will not pay any attention to us."
Ruva's face showed some pain. He had asked Suqi for help many times before, but had not received any response.
If they can't give it their all this time, and Su Qi still ignores them, then they're completely finished.
"Your Majesty, it's worth it even if it means exhausting the nation's resources. As long as we don't get destroyed, we can earn back all this wealth in the future."
The court officials unanimously agreed to devote all national resources to helping the Kingdom of Phil, as this was the only way to save the Kingdom of Ivory.
Finally, following this advice, Rue wrote another letter to Suzie seeking help.
“Your Majesty King Suqi, if the Kingdom of Phil is willing to help us, our Kingdom of Ivory is willing to give the Kingdom of Phil three hundred billion as a token of our gratitude.”
When Suqi received Ruva's letter of appeal, a faint smile appeared on his face; the letter was quite tempting.
The Kingdom of Phil has recently been focusing on technological research, which has emptied its treasury. Unexpectedly, Ruva has just delivered money to them. Su Qi thinks this is a good deal.
However, the achievements of Phil Kingdom today are all thanks to Yang Xia. Su Qi did not make the decision on his own, but discussed it with Yang Xia first.
"This is a letter from Ruva to the Kingdom of Phil seeking help. He is actually willing to give the Kingdom of Phil 300 billion as a thank you gift. It seems that this guy has been forced to the brink of desperation and is using all his national strength to ask for help."
Su Qi handed the letter seeking help to Yang Xia, also wanting to get Yang Xia's opinion.
Su Qi had genuine respect for Yang Xia; without Yang Xia, there would be no Phil Kingdom as it is today.
"I think this deal is worthwhile; it will make your country, Phil, a fortune." Yang Xia laughed heartily, quite satisfied with the outcome.
"I was just about to agree. Phil has been spending on scientific research recently, and its treasury is empty, so this money is quite tempting for us."
Su Qi also laughed heartily. He knew that Yang Xia was genuinely concerned for the country of Phil, and he felt even more grateful. The relationship between the two countries was now unbreakable.
Suchi finally agreed to Ruva's request and decided to help the Ivory Kingdom overcome this crisis.
“Our country, Phil, can grant your request and lend a hand when Moonlight Kingdom goes to war with Ivory Kingdom.”
"But this matter must be kept secret. Once Tanawu finds out the details, we cannot guarantee that we can win this war."
Suqi warned Ruva to keep the matter discreet and not to shoot himself in the foot.
"I understand. This matter will be handled very discreetly, so that Moonlight Kingdom will not get any information about it."
Ruva readily agreed, and then the two countries quietly embarked on a cooperative partnership.
As per the previous agreement, Ruva transferred 300 billion to the Kingdom of Phil, and Suqi secretly transported some large weapons to the Kingdom of Ivory.
All of this was carried out without anyone noticing, and was successfully completed under various cover.
Tanawu had no idea that Ruva would go to great lengths to seek help from the Kingdom of Phil. His anger was still burning, and he finally decided to attack the Kingdom of Ivory.
In Tanawu's eyes, the Ivory Coast is now teetering on the brink of collapse, and attacking them would be effortless.
On one hand, it was to intimidate neighboring countries; on the other hand, it was to destroy the Ivory Kingdom and plunder its wealth. The Moonlight Kingdom, seeing other countries striving to develop their technological capabilities, naturally didn't want to fall behind. If they successfully destroyed the Ivory Kingdom this time, they could use the plundered money to further their own technological advancement.
For these reasons, Tanawu did not hesitate to send troops to attack Ivory Country.
"Launch all our forces and deploy all of Moonlight Kingdom's military strength to take down Ivory Kingdom in one fell swoop."
At Tanawu's command, the Moonlight Kingdom's military forces were mobilized as planned, launching a massive and fierce attack on the Ivory Kingdom.
Prior to this, Tanawu had a very thorough understanding of the military strength of the Ivory Country, knowing its true capabilities, which is why he came to the Ivory Country's gates in such a grand manner.
According to Tanawu's estimate, the battle would be over within an hour.
But when the city gates opened wide, what appeared before Tanawu was not what he had imagined at all.
Instead of the Ivory Country's army, Tanawu was greeted by a phalanx of elite soldiers from the Phil Country. The military vehicles inside were all large armed vehicles sponsored by Yang Xia, including tanks, artillery pieces, and hovercraft.
"Holy crap, this is unbelievable! What on earth is going on?"
Tanawu was stunned by the sight before him, gasped, and almost took a few steps back in shock.
"Your Majesty, this is not the army of Ivory Kingdom at all; this is the combined force of Phil Kingdom and Yan Kingdom."
The general beside Tanawu was also quite frightened and couldn't help but utter such words. None of them were stupid; they could see at a glance what the situation was like.
"Damn it, Luwa actually colluded with Su Qi and Yang Xia!"
Tanawu cursed through gritted teeth, but he had lost all confidence. The military force before him was undeniable, and the heavy weaponry was truly awe-inspiring.
With the military strength of the Moonlight Kingdom, it has no advantage whatsoever against so many heavy weapons.
But the Moonlight Kingdom had already arrived at the gates of the Ivory Kingdom with great momentum. If they were to retreat in such a disgraceful manner, they would surely be laughed at in the other world.
Despite knowing that the current situation was very unfavorable to him, Tanawu had no choice but to bite the bullet and start the war.
"You, Ruwa, so you really did betray the Moonlight Kingdom and have been colluding with the Flame Kingdom and the Phil Kingdom all along. Today, I'll let you taste the power of the Moonlight Kingdom."
"Charge! Whoever takes Ruwa's head will be promoted three ranks!"
Tanawu was furious and issued an order for the soldiers of Moonlight Kingdom to charge forward desperately, vowing to defend their position as the overlord to the death.
No matter how aggressive Tanawu was, his strength was undeniable, and the outcome was predictable: the Moonlight Kingdom suffered heavy losses.
With these heavy weapons, the soldiers of the Moonlight Kingdom were unable to get close to the enemy army. Horrific screams echoed from the Moonlight Kingdom's ranks, and blood flowed like rivers.
In the end, the Moonlight Kingdom was forced to retreat before even being able to penetrate the inner city of the Ivory Kingdom.
On Yang Xia's side, he utterly decimated the Moonlight Kingdom with almost no casualties. The area outside the city gates was a scene of utter devastation, littered with the corpses of Moonlight Kingdom soldiers.
"Great! The Moonlight Kingdom has withdrawn its troops. Now they finally know how powerful we are."
"Thank you so much! Our Ivory Kingdom has finally been saved and won't be destroyed."
Seeing this from the city gate, Ruva smiled with satisfaction, knowing that everything he had done was worthwhile.
After this battle, Moonlight Kingdom's title as the number one power was no longer valid.
After his defeat, Tanawu fled back to his country in a disheveled state, his heart filled with rage, feeling as if he was about to explode with anger.
"Damn bastards, I will never let them get away with this! As long as I have a breath left, I will wipe them all out!" Tanawu began smashing things wildly in the room, cursing incessantly, unable to quell his rage. As the leading power in this other world, he had suffered such a defeat, and could no longer call himself the strongest nation. The Ivory Kingdom had actually colluded with the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Phil Kingdom to betray him; this humiliation was unbearable for Tanawu. Now, other countries were also laughing at him; Moonlight Kingdom had truly become a laughingstock. Yang Xia had developed such a popular chip, sought after by various countries, and now he had suffered another defeat, proving Moonlight Kingdom's incompetence once again. All of this was a huge blow to Tanawu, making him unable to hold his head high, and even more ashamed to claim Moonlight Kingdom as the number one power.
On the other side, with the help of Yang Xia and Kanapan, Ruwa finally managed to defeat Tanawu and save Ivory Country, and was naturally overjoyed.
"Immediately host a banquet to entertain Kings Yang Xia and Kanapan. I want to properly thank them for their help to the Kingdom of Xiangya." Ruva happily hosted the banquet to express his gratitude to the two, his eyes narrowing into slits with laughter. This outcome was truly gratifying. Although he had almost exhausted the nation's resources and spent far too much money to seek the help of Yang Xia and Kanapan, the result was well worth it.
"Yang Xia, Kanapan, you two are truly amazing! That was a brilliant battle! I never imagined your weapons were so advanced. Tanawu has completely lost its former arrogance. What kind of so-called number one power is it? It's nothing now." Ruva kept flattering Yang Xia and Kanapan, continuing to belittle Tanawu to the point of worthlessness. In Ruva's eyes, Tanawu was now even more worthless. Yang Xia and Kanapan had long been familiar with Ruva's despicable nature, and their faces showed little emotion in the face of his praise.
Seeing Ruva's smug expression, Yang Xia quickly turned cold and gave him a blunt warning. "Don't be too happy yet. Do you think Tanawu will let this go so easily? He might come back soon, and with an even bigger force than today. You should make plans as soon as possible." Yang Xia poured cold water on Ruva without hesitation, telling him to face reality and not be blindly arrogant. That kind of person is the most annoying.
"Yes, yes, Yang Xia's vision is truly remarkable. I'm so happy I'm almost dizzy. Therefore, continued cooperation is the only way forward. I hope you two will continue to support our Ivory Kingdom." Hearing Yang Xia's words, Ruwa nodded repeatedly. He understood Tanawu better than anyone else and knew that the other side wouldn't give up so easily. Tanawu would definitely make a comeback, just as Yang Xia said, with even greater momentum, determined to destroy the Ivory Kingdom.
“After Tanawu returns to Moonlight Kingdom, he will definitely focus on developing his military strength. If we continue to help you, the battle won't end as easily as it did today; it will definitely result in mutual destruction.” Yang Xia analyzed the upcoming situation for Ruwa, telling him that the situation would be very serious. The implication was that they couldn't continue cooperating with Ruwa indefinitely, nor did they want him and Tanawu to fight to the death. They were only helping Ruwa to obtain huge profits; they had no real relationship with someone like Ruwa.
"Yang Xia, I know you are incredibly capable, please don't abandon us. If we leave you, our Ivory Kingdom will definitely be lost. I hope we can continue our cooperation, and I'm willing to agree to any request you make." Ruva quickly pleaded with Yang Xia and Kanapan, not wanting them to simply abandon them.
"Ruva, your 300 billion is just a thank-you gift this time; it has absolutely nothing to do with the next time. We can't possibly risk our lives to protect Ivory Coast for you," Kanapan said bluntly, discussing the deal. With someone like this, you can only talk about deals; there's nothing else to discuss. Kanapan knew that Ruva had already exhausted its national resources with this 300 billion. Next time Ruva needed their help, they simply wouldn't have that much money, and they had no reason to help them.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to give you a thank-you gift. I just hope we can continue to cooperate in the future." Ruva understood their meaning and could only keep assuring them. (End of Chapter)
