Chapter 965
The Situation is Serious
But Banro was prepared, and he viciously strangled Kanapan's neck, so how could he be allowed to escape so easily?
This is the only solution that Banro can think of so far. Only by kidnapping Kanapan to Ivory Country can he be forced to help Ivory Country overcome its difficulties.
Banro pulled hard on Kanapan, trying to drag him to the other side of the sea, where his men would soon come to pick him up.
When they boarded the ship earlier, Banluo had already given them very clear instructions: if they discovered that the ship they were on had exploded, they should rush over here immediately.
Banro tightly gripped Kanapan's neck, refusing to let go easily. Kanapan knew Banro's intentions and struggled desperately, but Banro tightened his grip even more, and Kanapan was about to lose consciousness.
At this extremely critical moment, Yang Xia arrived with General Meng Yu.
They found Kanapan struggling on the surface of the water, and Yang Xia quickly rescued him and pulled him onto his lifeboat.
At this point, Kanapan had already lost consciousness, and his condition appeared to be serious.
Seeing Kanapan's miserable state, Yang Xia felt terrible. Then, glancing at Banro struggling desperately in the sea, he immediately understood what had happened.
The ship's explosion was, of course, meticulously planned by Banro. Judging from his actions, he clearly intended to kidnap Kanapan.
As for why they did this, it was naturally for the sake of cooperation with Ivory Coast. These issues were as obvious as lice on a bald man's head; Yang Xia could figure them out with a little thought.
"General Mengyu, quickly rescue all of the men under King Kanapan. As for Banluo, let him stay in the sea!"
At Yang Xia's command, General Meng Yu led his men to quickly rescue all of Kanapan's soldiers and bring them aboard their large ship.
"Your Majesty, thankfully we arrived in time. The seawater is still quite cold this season; if this had continued, these people would have been in danger."
After General Meng Yu rescued all these people, he saw that they were all shivering from the cold and their faces were pale, and he felt very bad.
Humans are made of flesh and blood; they can understand the current situation of these people.
"Settle them all in our cabins, cover them with thick quilts, and immediately set sail back to our Yan Kingdom."
After arranging everything, Yang Xia planned to take these people back to Yan Kingdom for treatment first, and then return to Feier Kingdom once they were safe and sound.
"Yang Xia, you can't just stand by and watch me die! Help me out!"
At this point, only Banluo was left, struggling in the icy seawater. He actually asked Yang Xia for help. What a shameless person!
Yang Xia saw the scene clearly just now: Banlu had strangled Kanapan by the neck and even made Kanapan pass out.
Without needing to ask further, Yang Xia knew the whole story—Banro wanted to kidnap Kanapan. This guy actually dared to ask him for help! Yang Xia had never seen such a shameless person. He glared at him fiercely and spat.
Yang Xia despised such treacherous people the most, and would never save him.
"General Meng Yu, order the ship to set sail."
Yang Xia left with his large ship without looking back. Banluo continued to struggle painfully in the sea.
Such a person deserves to die, and besides, Yang Xia had calculated that Banluo's men would come to rescue him soon, so he wouldn't die anyway.
Yang Xia led Kanapan and his group back to Yan Kingdom, where doctors quickly began treating them. Most of them had caught a severe cold from being in the icy seawater for a while, and recovered after taking some medicine.
Kanapan's situation was more serious than theirs; his neck was tightly strangled by Banro, which eventually led to a deep coma.
"How much longer will it take for King Kanapan to wake up?" Yang Xia asked anxiously, seeing that Kanapan was still unconscious.
"Your Majesty, the King of Kanapan should wake up soon, so there is no need to worry. He was just a little frightened and fainted."
The doctor's words finally put Yang Xia at ease; as long as Kanapan was alright, that was all that mattered.
Sure enough, Kanapan finally woke up after a while. He rubbed his aching head, trying hard to recall what had happened.
Suddenly, Kanapan remembered everything, especially the image of himself struggling in the water and the feeling of suffocation, which terrified him.
At that moment, Kanapan felt he was about to meet his death.
Recalling that terrifying moment, Kanapan jumped out of bed in a panic, thinking it was divine punishment.
"Gods, what wrong have I done to deserve this punishment? Do you really want me to meet the Grim Reaper?"
"What wrong have I, Kanapan, done? Please, God, show me, and I will surely correct it."
Kanapan immediately knelt on the bed, muttering strange words under his breath. He believed that the terrifying experience he had just witnessed was divine punishment.
The people of Phil were indeed very religious. He knew in his heart that someone was behind this, but they instinctively still connected it to the gods.
Seeing Kanapan's rambling expression, Yang Xia shook his head helplessly. It seemed that such deeply ingrained ideas in Phil Country couldn't be changed overnight.
Kanapan continued to go mad, and even General Meng Yu couldn't stop him.
"General Meng Yu, you should forcefully restrain him. King Kanapan is terrified out of his wits."
Seeing this situation, Yang Xia had no choice but to take strong measures to stabilize Kanapan first.
"King of Kanapan, please calm down. This is not a punishment from the gods, but rather the work of Banro behind the scenes."
Yang Xia quickly told him the truth behind it.
Yang Xia finally managed to subdue Kanapan and told him the whole truth. For a long time, Kanapan was still in shock.
"What? How is this possible? How could Banluo be so bold as to try to kidnap me? Has he lost his mind?"
After calming down, Kanapan still couldn't quite believe the truth.
The Ivory Coast has fallen to such a state, yet it still dares to attack me? Kanapan racked his brains but couldn't figure out why.
"Is there any need to say more? He definitely wants to kidnap you to Ivory Coast and then force you to cooperate with them."
"The Kingdom of Ivory is now powerless. If Tanawu launches an attack on them, the Kingdom of Ivory will surely be defeated. Out of desperation, these people have come up with this despicable tactic."
Seeing that Kanapan couldn't figure out the reason for a long time, Yang Xia had no choice but to get straight to the point and tell him.
It's very likely that Kanapan was terrified beforehand, and his mind wasn't working properly, so he couldn't think of so many things. Hearing Yang Xia's explanation, Kanapan finally understood. "So that's how it is. In that case, it was Ruva who sent Banro to kidnap me. I'm not finished with them!"
Once Kanapan had finally sorted things out, he became incredibly angry and wanted nothing more than to rush to Ivory Coast and settle scores with Ruva.
“King of Kanapan, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Ruva will certainly not escape responsibility for this matter.”
"I told you long ago, the only way to succeed is to strengthen yourself. Once your military power is strong enough, none of these people will be a problem."
Yang Xia was not worried when he saw Kanapan's furious state.
Now, these countries in the other world are insignificant to them.
Now, by leveraging the technological strength of the Phil Kingdom, they can quickly develop their capabilities in all aspects to become exceptionally powerful, at which point their status in the other world will become obvious.
"Yang Xia, you're right. I've found that your thinking is indeed different from others. Only by closely following in your footsteps can we stand out in various countries."
Kanapan finally calmed down, realizing that no matter how furious he became, he couldn't change what had happened.
Next, we should continue to follow Yang Xia's lead and improve them in all aspects, making it even easier to deal with the small Ivory Country.
After considering these aspects, Kanapan suddenly remembered his plan to inspect the submarine. He felt that Yang Xia would be particularly interested in this.
Now, Kanapan considers Yang Xia one of his own, and is willing to share any treasures he discovers with Yang Xia.
After all, it was with Yang Xia's help that the Kingdom of Phil developed into its current powerful state. Moreover, it would become even stronger under Yang Xia's guidance, and Kanapan was quite confident about this.
"Yang Xia, do you know why I took a ship to the near sea? It's because our fishermen discovered a deep-sea submarine there, and I found that it was a particularly advanced deep-sea submarine."
"I was almost strangled to death by that guy Banro right after I found out. Just thinking about it makes me angry, I wish I could wipe out the Ivory Country right now."
Kanapan then told Yang Xia why he had taken a ship to the sea.
"What? You've discovered a very advanced deep-sea submarine? That's something extremely valuable."
Yang Xia's eyes lit up when he heard Kanapan say these words, and he finally understood why the other party wanted to go there. More importantly, knowing that such a treasure existed, Yang Xia was naturally extremely interested.
"Yes, I know it's something very valuable. I'm planning to study it thoroughly and then tell you."
"I never expected such an unexpected situation to occur. Luckily you arrived in time, otherwise I would be dead."
Kanapan continued his conversation with Yang Xia about deep-sea submarines, bringing up the topic frequently. His hatred for Spain naturally deepened.
"I'll take people to salvage the deep-sea submarine right now, and then study it slowly. It might really bring us a lot of valuable information."
Yang Xia immediately discussed it with Kanapan and decided to salvage the deep-sea submarine for research, which would be a safer option.
If other countries also discover these treasures, they will pay extra attention. At that point, it's best to get the deep-sea submarine into their territory first, to avoid any unforeseen problems.
"Yang Xia, you're right. You should do these things yourself. I feel extremely weak. After all this, I need to rest first."
Kanapan trusted Yang Xia implicitly and decided to entrust this matter to him. He believed that Yang Xia would soon be able to figure something out.
Yang Xia led General Meng Yu to the sea area mentioned by Kanapan, and finally discovered the huge deep-sea submarine.
"Great, we've finally found this deep-sea submarine."
"General Meng Yu, you should quickly send people to move it to our territory with equipment, and then slowly begin research."
Yang Xia excitedly ordered General Meng Yu to tow the deep-sea submarine to land so that they could conduct more detailed and in-depth research.
Yang Xia just took a quick look, and it is indeed as Kanapan said, this deep-sea submarine is quite advanced and has great research value.
This further piqued Yang Xia's interest. They were sure to discover many valuable aspects this time, which might even contribute to the development of their country's submarine technology.
Today, the military strength of the Kingdom of Phil and the Kingdom of Great Zhou has become increasingly powerful, and their submarine technology has also made some progress.
However, it still lags behind the advanced submarine before them. The appearance of such an advanced submarine, seemingly out of nowhere, has provided them with a clear research direction; no wonder Yang Xia is so excited.
"General Meng Yu, immediately summon those top scientists to come and conduct research as well."
"Striving for breakthroughs in submarine technology would bring us significant progress."
Yang Xia discovered that this deep-sea submarine was exceptionally advanced in both appearance and structure.
This is the first time I've seen such specifications, and the submarine is also equipped with many advanced devices.
This series of discoveries made Yang Xia even happier, and he worked alongside the scientists to conduct research.
Even in his original world, Yang Xia had never seen such advanced submarine technology, so this discovery was of great significance to him.
Yang Xia ventured deep into the submarine and discovered a particularly rare type of stone in the control room, which even scientists couldn't immediately identify.
"You must study this stone and find out what special properties it has."
Yang Xia was particularly interested in this area and pointed out the next research direction for the scientists, including not only the various advanced features of submarines, but also these peculiar rocks.
“Okay, we also found these stones to be amazing; we’ve never seen anything like them before.”
The scientists also expressed their doubts and curiosity about the submarine in front of them, which further inspired their determination to conduct research.
However, the scientists from Phil are all top-notch, so the research should go smoothly from here on out.
Yang Xia wasn't particularly worried about this. He just hoped that the research process could be shortened as much as possible, so that the value of this advanced submarine could be discovered as soon as possible.
Yang Xia asked the scientists to extract some of these peculiar stones and take them back for careful study.
On the other side, Banlu struggled in the sea for a long time, almost frozen to death, before his men arrived and rescued him back to Ivory Coast.
Those who commit many evil deeds will surely perish. Banluo's actions this time were tantamount to shooting himself in the foot, almost costing him his life. (End of Chapter)
