Meanwhile, on the other side, at the border of the Great West Empire, an army was launching a frenzied attack on the Great West Empire.
On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Great West Empire outnumbered the enemy by nearly two to one, but they were still suppressed by the enemy because the enemy's weapons and equipment were far superior, leaving them only able to resist the enemy with their tenacious will.
Opposite them stood a force from the Land of the Far West.
The leader Abide Leier. He looked at the army of the Great West Empire ahead, a hint of contempt and confusion flashing in his eyes.
As a force in the Land of the Far West, he naturally wouldn't have come to attack without a reason.
The reason was that their transport fleet had been plundered at sea, and the plunderer was located in the east, which is why they came to attack.
But here's his problem!
He frowned as he looked at the weaponry of the Great West Empire and said, "How could a bunch of barbarians wearing shorts possibly plunder us at sea? The intelligence must be wrong!"
What a joke! The other side hasn't even finished their armor; their technological level is clearly inadequate.
With such limited strength, they simply lack the capability to conduct cross-sea operations, let alone plunder their own fleet at sea; this is clearly illogical.
He was not very familiar with this continent and had very limited information about it, so the prime suspect was naturally the Great West Empire in front of him.
As soon as he spoke, some of his retainers nodded in agreement. With such strength, the other side wouldn't amount to much with just a few ships; they couldn't possibly be capable of sea raiding. The difference in strength was too great.
"Boss, could it be that the other person likes to wear shorts because it's cooler that way?" Abide Leier's childhood friend, James Quinton, couldn't help but whisper.
Grass!
Abide Leier immediately gave him a slap on the back, his face darkening as he said, "This is a battlefield, you think you'd take off your armor and fight the enemy just because it's hot?"
That bastard is so unreliable; no normal person would do that.
Even in the heat, it can withstand a fatal attack. Fighting in your shorts is suicidal. These people can't all be idiots, can they?
"Yeah, James, you're fucking unreliable!" someone next to him couldn't help but chime in, saying that the reason was completely unreasonable.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, boss!"
James Quinton was caught off guard by this "monkey stealing peach" trick, and cried out in pain, waving his hands frantically.
These people have no sense of humor. Besides, what's wrong with wearing shorts in this heat?
Abide Leier took a deep breath, ignoring his childhood friend, and looked towards the heart of the Great West Empire, his gaze becoming profound and cold.
He said in a deep voice, "They dare to steal from my Abide Family? They're simply courting death. This is a tribute from several major island nations. If we don't react at all, what will the other families think of us?"
The honor of the Abide Family must not be trampled upon by anyone; anyone who dares to violate it will pay a bloody price.
"Boss, we only have 100,000 men, I'm afraid that's not enough!" James Quinton said sheepishly, looking at the massive crowd on the other side.
Although we're pretty awesome, they're not pushovers either. If they have too many people, our small force won't be able to hold them off.
Damn it!
Abide Leier glared at him and gritted her teeth, saying, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute." Damn it, I finally managed to show off a little, and you're the one throwing cold water on me.
However, while these words are unpleasant to hear, they are still somewhat problematic.
He shook his head, a meaningful smile flashing in his eyes, and said quietly, "This is a land we have never been to before, but now that we have discovered this so-called Great West Empire, we cannot turn a blind eye to it."
Send people to search for information about this continent, and at the same time send a message back home, asking them to send more troops. We want to occupy this land.
Also, be careful to keep this a secret. Don't let the Moshli Family or the Adolf Family find out. We're going to have this cake all to ourselves!
In one's own territory, as long as there is enough money and profit, there will be no shortage of manpower and weapons.
With these resources, they can recruit a large number of mercenaries and armed personnel to occupy and plunder this continent, which is more than enough.
However, the most urgent task is to understand this continent and clearly see the specific distribution of power in order to make accurate war preparations.
"I understand!" The subordinate's eyes lit up. The Great West Empire before him was no longer the Great West Empire, but a real prey.
These aren't people, but rather valuable slaves and resources—that's pure profit.
Grunt!
James Quinton swallowed hard and muttered, "A whole new continent is before us! We're rich, boss!"
They have been developing new colonies, which has enabled them and their families to develop rapidly, and they are now one of the dominant powers in the West.
The vast land and islands they possess provide them with a continuous stream of resources, which is the source of their confidence to cross the sea.
And now there's a new cake in front of us, which is truly something to look forward to.
"Yes, this is a brand new cake!"
Abide Leier nodded slowly, his gaze fixed on the distant east, filled with fervor, perhaps that was where his journey would begin.
By conquering a brand new continent, I might have the opportunity to advance further and make my family even stronger.
The Great West Empire before him was his first pot of gold in the East.
Abaddon, far away in Great Liang, was naturally unaware of the situation in the empire, much less that he was being targeted by wolves and tigers. His focus was on the banquet that evening.
If he's not mistaken, today will be the day the final outcome is revealed.
When the time comes, Lin Yi's true purpose will become clear, and this decision may usher in a completely new continental order.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, if only the Great Liang were weaker, or if there were enemies to hold them back, things would be much better. Right now, we're in such a passive position!"
He would not give up on dividing the Frostwest Empire with Great Liang if either of these two conditions were met.
After all, the Frostwest Empire was his sworn enemy. If he could defeat this sworn enemy, it wouldn't just be a source of glory for his ancestors, but it would definitely be a chance to avenge his family.
"There's nothing we can do. Great Liang's development speed is just too outrageous. By the time we realized what was happening, the surrounding area had been almost completely cleared out," Morandi said with a wry smile and a sigh.
He was also somewhat frustrated, as he was constantly restrained in Great Liang, and even his secret agents dared not be too arrogant.
It should be noted that the Great West Empire was a rising power in the West, an absolute force to be reckoned with, and its ministers were second only to two other statesmen.
Now that he's in Great Liang, his status has plummeted from a big boss to a nobody, which he finds unacceptable.
The reason for this was that the rise of the Great Liang was too rapid, so rapid that they didn't have time to stop it before it became a major threat.
