Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.
Chapter 60 The situation is chaotic
In a short time, the Tianyun Empire, the Slivia Empire, and the Delin Kingdom all made arrangements based on the known intelligence. The Holy Beast Kingdom also received the intelligence, but Beast King Daklens paid no attention to it. He was only obsessed with military power and did not care much about national affairs. In his eyes, as long as the military power was sufficient, all problems could be solved. Many facts proved that his view was correct. Under Daklens' leadership, the Holy Beast Kingdom defeated the invading Xiluo Demon Kingdom many times. The western defense line could be said to be impregnable. Therefore, when the regent Lati suggested that Daklens strengthen exchanges with the Slivia Empire and improve relations with other countries, he did not listen at all and insisted on demanding that the Beast Kingdom's Ministry of Finance increase military expenditure from the original 60% to 80%.
Increased military spending meant upgraded equipment and expanded army size, which was seen as a signal of war by other countries. Therefore, when other countries learned of this news, the Kingdom of Delin and the Heavenly Fortune Empire sent their troops to the border with the Holy Beast Kingdom to strengthen the border defense. The actions of the two countries were originally intended to prepare in advance to resist invasion, but in the eyes of Daklens, it became a sign of a joint invasion by the two countries. So he also sent troops to the border, and the conflict between the three countries became even more complicated in a muddled way.
As expected, the Heavenly Fortune Empire sent two letters, demanding that the Kingdom of Delin and the Slivia Empire compensate them with 10,000 tons of refined iron and 5,000 tons of crystals respectively. The two countries naturally refused, but before the Heavenly Fortune Empire could lower its demands, the Kingdom of Delin offered to compensate with 2,000 tons of refined iron and ore each, and formed an alliance with the Heavenly Fortune Empire to demand compensation from the Slivia Empire. This move confused the leaders of the Heavenly Fortune Empire, who could not understand the actions and intentions of the Kingdom of Delin.
The Slivia Empire also received letters from the Heavenly Fortune Empire and the Kingdom of Delin. One side demanded compensation, while the other was willing to form an alliance to jointly deal with the Heavenly Fortune Empire's accusations. Eric and his ministers were caught in a dilemma. At this time, the Holy Beast Kingdom deployed troops to the borders of the other two countries and issued a war invitation. Suddenly, the Slivia Empire became the focus of attention for the three countries. Eric and his ministers discussed for a long time but could not reach a conclusion. Eric simply refused to accept any of the letters, closed all the passes, and sent more troops to all the passes.
On the Delin Kingdom's side, things were proceeding according to plan. General Zhang Feng had arrived at the island to take over the garrison. However, due to the machinations of Wang Ming and the island's martial arts bureau, the four garrisons clashed again. Initially, Zhang Feng resolutely refused to allow the garrison to leave their camp, so only the other three garrisons were engaged in small-scale brawls. Later, under the instigation of the martial arts bureau personnel, the other three garrisons realized something was wrong. The Delin Kingdom's garrison was taking a break every day, so they stopped fighting and began hurling insults at the Delin Kingdom's camp day and night. Although General Zhang Feng was experienced and rational, he was getting old, and the constant noise from the other three garrisons kept him awake every night. Finally, he could no longer tolerate it, picked up his gun, and the four garrisons were thrown into chaos.
As a result, the entire situation descended into chaos. The border people lived in constant fear, always worried that war was imminent. The people of Bailu City on the outlying island dared not even leave the third floor, fearing that they would be implicated.
Finally, news of the chaotic fighting between the troops stationed in the four island nations reached all of them. All the nations were furious, believing that other countries were the ones who had provoked the incident. As a result, envoys from the nations frequently traveled back and forth. All the previous schemes and countermeasures became ineffective, leaving only endless verbal battles, since no one dared to be the first to declare war.
Su Yang had also heard that the garrison in Bailu City had started a small-scale war, and he had a bad feeling every day. He felt that his paradise was not going to be saved. The original plan to build a small house for Lin Anlan was canceled. The group stayed at home and did not leave the house. Su Yang prayed every day that the war would end soon.
The war of words between the four nations lasted for about a week. Each nation felt that this couldn't continue. The Beast King, Darkrens, could no longer tolerate it and wanted to wage war, but his ministers desperately dissuaded him. Constantly hurling insults was not in his nature. So, he wrote a letter to the other three nations and sent envoys with the same content: "You bastards, aren't you just fighting for control of the islands? All this arguing won't get you anywhere. Why not reopen the joint meeting? We should all participate, stop hiding our true intentions!"
Upon receiving the letter, the Tianyun Empire and the Slivia Empire were naturally willing to reopen the joint meeting. As long as the meeting reopened, the Kingdom of Delin would not necessarily be the one to take over the island. The Kingdom of Delin was extremely unwilling. Huangfu Yan consulted with Shangguan Wang and others on this matter. The original plan was to use the tactic of "delaying" to neither reply to the Holy Beast Kingdom's letter nor express any opinion. However, the other three countries seemed to have anticipated this. They contacted each other and quickly set the time and place for the joint meeting. In the capital of the Kingdom of Paisen, which was to be held a week later, King Pact of the Kingdom of Paisen was specially invited to attend.
Moreover, the three kingdoms were cunning. They sent their own adventurers to intercept the messenger from the Duchy of Paisen to the Kingdom of Delin, deliberately not informing the Kingdom of Delin of the news. They only released the messenger three days before the meeting started. By the time Huangfu Yan received the news that the joint meeting would be held again, there were less than three days left. If he still pretended to be deaf and dumb at this time, he might be kicked out of the game. So Huangfu Yan hurriedly set off for the capital of the Duchy of Paisen.
On the island, the friction intensified. What was initially a small-scale conflict involving a dozen or so people had now escalated into a battle between small units. Members of the Insulators' Martial Arts Division were infiltrating the garrisons of various countries, constantly instigating generals at all levels and trying every means to create conflict, making the situation increasingly chaotic. The City Lord's Guard Chief, who had initially tried to maintain a balance, constantly moved between the garrisons of various countries, persuading them to remain calm. However, during one of his attempts to persuade the Holy Beast Kingdom, he was mercilessly mocked by a general of the Beast Kingdom's garrison regarding the death of Yin Tianbao. The Guard Chief, who had been restraining himself for a long time, could no longer hold back. That very night, he disbanded the City Lord's Guard, reorganized it, and returned it to the Tianyun Empire's garrison. He then led an attack on the right flank of the Holy Beast Kingdom's garrison. Enraged, the Holy Beast Kingdom, in conjunction with the Slivia Empire's garrison, launched a retaliatory attack on the Tianyun Empire's garrison the next day. Taking advantage of their superior numbers, they also attacked the Kingdom of Delin.
General Zhang Feng, as expected of a veteran, possessed the same fiery spirit as a young man. He had been maintaining restraint and forbearance until he was provoked and angered, and allowed his subordinates to join the battle. His fiery spirit as a veteran general who had led troops for many years slowly resurfaced. Now, when he was ambushed by the two countries, he completely erupted and immediately led nearly half of the garrison to attack back.
Seeing that the Kingdom of Delin had mobilized such a large garrison, the other three kingdoms could no longer tolerate it and led their armies to join the fray. What was originally a small-scale skirmish gradually escalated from a localized battle into a massive war, and the situation on the island became completely chaotic.
