Petroleum? Gold mines?
Undoubtedly, this was the richest area in the Duchy of Best, and even the Duchy of Mixi. Besides tourism, it was also the main economic pillar, accounting for about 40% of the national income!
And these were the two most profitable resources internationally. The reason the United States had intervened multiple times was for these two resources.
Now that the Duchy of Best was to be promoted to a kingdom, its overall quality would undoubtedly improve in all aspects, which was something the United States was most unwilling to see.
Without delay, the United States dispatched countless assassins and mercenaries to the Duchy of Best. Their mission was to execute a "beheading plan" to prevent the Duchy of Best from being promoted to a kingdom.
All of this was within Ye Xuan's expectations. As for the Kingdom of Best, Luo Tian and others had been waiting for a long time. Luo Tian had also entered the War God realm. Besides him, Lang Ya, Du Feng, and five others had also entered the War God realm. There were no less than dozens of peak Half-step War Gods.
Six War Gods, dozens of peak Half-step War Gods, and hundreds of Half-step War Gods. Of course, this strength was completely unknown to the outside world. This was the biggest secret of Tian Quan Security.
Except for Wang Tie Zhu, who was guarding in China, all other powerhouses had come to the Duchy of Best. Let alone the high-ranking officials of the United States, even the two Earls, Pucis and Weil, had no idea about the combat power of Tian Quan Security.
After all, a surprise attack could only achieve unexpected results when used in the right place!
At this moment, the Duke’s Mansion of Best, no, it should now be called the Royal Palace of Best.
At this moment, the vicinity was filled with top powerhouses from Tian Quan Security. Pucis and Weil had some knowledge of this, but they didn't know the exact number of experts, because these people were all arranged by His Majesty the King.
The two of them also knew that with the subordinates personally arranged by His Majesty the King protecting them, they could devote all their energy to the various matters that followed.
"Damn it, I can finally go all out!"
Lang Ya licked his lips, his War God realm aura surging. Such strength was something he had never dared to imagine before. Not only Lang Ya, but Du Feng and the others beside him were also like this.
Among these people, Luo Tian was the strongest, not far from the peak of the War God realm. He was also the commander-in-chief for protecting Pucis and Weil here, ensuring that Best could successfully be promoted to a kingdom.
"Lang Ya, this is a critical moment!"
"Don't you dare get bogged down in fighting. If you ruin Young Master Ye's great plan, no one can save you."
Luo Tian warned Lang Ya. Among these people, Lang Ya had the most fiery temper and was the most eager to fight.
"Cough, cough, don't worry, Brother Tian, I know what I'm doing."
"I wouldn't dare delay Young Master Ye's great plan!!"
Lang Ya restrained the ferocious glint in his eyes. "Brother Tian, I know the importance of the matter."
"Mmm."
Luo Tian breathed a sigh of relief. "I just received news that the United States has dispatched at least a thousand assassins, and the mercenaries must be no less than three thousand. Roughly estimated, the assassins and mercenaries dispatched by the United States this time should be over four thousand people..."
"Moreover, all of them are top-tier experts!"
Upon hearing Luo Tian's words, everyone put away their contempt and became fully alert, waiting to trap the enemy in a net.
...
Capital of China, War Department.
Military Commander's Office.
"Military Commander Wang, the situation has been verified!"
Dragon Aotian, the War God of the Northwest border, looked towards the Duchy of Best, no, towards the location of the current Kingdom of Best, and said solemnly, "This time, the United States has dispatched a total of 2,000 assassins and over 3,500 mercenaries to prevent the Duchy of Best from being promoted to a kingdom. There are no less than ten War God realm powerhouses, fifty peak Half-step War Gods, and over a hundred Half-step War Gods. The rest are all top experts without exception."
Crack~
Upon hearing Dragon Aotian's words, Wang Zhantian's teacup in his hand shattered, "The United States' move is truly a grand gesture!"
"Do they really think they can cover the sky with one hand!?"
"Then... Military Commander Wang, what should we do?"
Dragon Aotian pondered for a moment, then asked. This was no trivial matter. Although they knew Ye Xuan's power was immense, there might still be oversights.
"I will report this to the Five Elders and let them decide."
"This... alright."
Dragon Aotian nodded and left the office after saying a few words.
Not long after Dragon Aotian left, Wang Zhantian, who had been lost in thought, dialed his father Wang Xuanyu's number. His father was not only the head of the Wang family, but he also held another identity, like Wei Nantian, he was one of the Five Elders of China, a peak War God realm powerhouse.
"Father, what!?"
"You're going to take action personally? Good..."
"I'll make arrangements!!"
A moment later, Wang Zhantian hung up the phone, his mouth twitching slightly, his eyelids flickering. He understood very well that once his father took action, the sacrifices would not be just one or two people.
No one knew what would happen during Wang Xuanyu's trip to the Kingdom of Best, but... a devastating slaughter was inevitable.
Firstly, under the great pressure, Wang Xuanyu was only one step away from the Half-step Celestial King realm. Secondly, not long ago, the Temple of Light's assassination attempt on Wei Nantian failed, and Wang Xuanyu had been holding a grudge.
At this time, the United States attacking the Kingdom of Best gave Wang Xuanyu an opportunity to vent his anger. In an instant, the retaliation from China began as scheduled.
Half a day later.
Border jungle between the Kingdom of Best and the United States.
Whoosh~
A figure appeared in the field like a ghost, followed by two more. All three were old men, and their auras were all at the peak of the War God realm. The strongest aura belonged to Wang Xuanyu. Beside him was Wei Nantian, one of the Five Elders of China who had been assassinated previously. The other person was Ji Wudi, the current head of the Ji family.
As for the Ji family's involvement, it was because a young member of the Ji family had offended a scion of a financial group in the United States. That Ji family member died in a foreign land, and the Ji family had always harbored deep hatred for the United States.
There was another reason why the Ji family intervened. Nowadays, many young members of the Ji family were serving in the War Department, so it was not surprising that Ji Wudi took action.
However, then, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~
At this moment, at least a thousand figures appeared in the field. The weakest of these figures were Half-step War Gods, and there were no less than twenty War God realm powerhouses. Such a lineup was unprecedented.
"The Temple of Light assassinated our China's War God Nantian! All those who have invaded from the United States this time will not be spared!"
"As you command, Elder Wang!!"
As Wang Xuanyu's voice fell, the thousand-plus powerhouses behind him bowed respectfully in unison, including the many powerhouses from the Ji family. This showed how high Wang Xuanyu's status was in the eyes of the War Department and the people of the Ji family. The over five thousand assassins and mercenaries from the United States tens of kilometers away were completely unaware of this. Of course, their countdown to death had already begun.
