“International spies have just sent in intelligence,” they said Shaun Sims of Cherrywood has been holding secret meetings frequently with the Liberty Alliance, with frequent private encounters between their top officials.
Moreover, Bear Country has sold them a large amount of new weaponry, which includes mortars, laser guns, Stealth Fighters, nuclear tanks, and so on.
Two days ago, the West Union closed its borders and isn’t allowing any foreigners to enter, as if to block some news; currently, the situation over there is unclear.
But after much thought, I can roughly speculate that the West Union must be plotting together with Cherrywood, so these moves can’t be unrelated to them!”
Fox’s face was grave as he detailed this intelligence one by one, stammering at last, hesitant to continue.
Greg Jensen frowned, “Speak openly, there’s no need to be evasive.”
“Yes… Yes!”
Noticing Greg Jensen’s commanding gaze, Fox dared not conceal anything further, bowing his head as he hurriedly said:
“Just now, we intercepted a facsimile email meant for Liberty Alliance from Cherrywood.
But before we could open and check it, the system of Dragon King’s Palace was hit by a hacker attack.
They not only completely erased the facsimile but also many of Dragon King’s Palace’s confidential info seems to have been exposed as well.”
As he spoke, he observed Greg Jensen and noticed his expression was neither alarmed nor pleased, impassive.
At the moment, he couldn’t tell whether the Dragon King was angry or what, so he persevered:
“No… However, we immediately launched a counter-hack, concealing a large portion of the information. We didn’t lose too many secrets; most of it was just external personnel intelligence.”
Hearing this, Greg Jensen’s gaze was profound, knowing that just for intercepting a fax that warranted an attack from top hackers on their system, it clearly indicated the extreme importance of the information within.
It could be strategies for their next move to invade the Eight countries in Southeast, but regardless, the only certainty now is that Cherrywood must have reached some form of collaboration with the Liberty Alliance.
With the West Union being the closest to the Eight countries in Southeast, and having a rich tourism industry, their decision to close their borders at this time isn’t hard to guess: Cherrywood and the West Union have poured all their preparations into the West Union region.
Once they are ready and have received the new weapons purchased from Bear Country, they might launch an attack from the direction of the West Union.
Of course, this was just Greg Jensen’s deduction of the current situation, a logical course of action under normal thinking, the fear being if they deviate from this norm.
With this in mind, he fixed his gaze on Fox and asked, “There’s not a single trace left of the intercepted fax?”
“Correct! The opponent’s hacking skills are exceptionally profound, but… no matter how skilled a hacker is and how well they can hide, they will inevitably leave traces on the network.
Following the trails, we discovered two IP addresses, one in East Island of Cherrywood and the other in the Liberty Alliance’s Walton.
That is to say, when our interception of these faxes was discovered, both regions deployed top hackers.”
Fox let out a sigh, leaving unsaid that in terms of hacking capabilities, Dragon King’s Palace still had shortcomings; otherwise, the duck that was at their lips wouldn’t have been so easily let go.
To this, Greg Jensen simply gestured, “This isn’t your fault.”
Having uncovered this much intelligence, Fox had performed his duty well.
The most urgent task was to make preparations in advance.
Regardless of how the people of Cherrywood and the Liberty Alliance cooperate.
The ultimate goal was simply to make a move against them in the Eight countries in Southeast at Dragon King’s Palace.
He pondered for a moment before quickly instructing,
“Fox, pass down the order, Dragon King’s Palace is to enter first-level alert immediately!
Furthermore, assemble all military forces and major factions of the Eight countries in Southeast to guard the borders, and report back at once if there’s any disturbance!”
“Yes!”
Seeing Fox set out immediately,
Greg also didn’t idle about. He quickly summoned Black Wolf and Jack William, each receiving a sum of five hundred million to purchase new weapons in Bear Country.
After all, with things having come this far, it was not difficult for him to see that the upcoming battle would not be simply about a contest of cultivation among factions. More so, it would involve military forces from both sides.
The military strength of the Eight countries in Southeast had lagged internationally due to prolonged suppression by regions such as Cherrywood, and the equipment of the various mercenary corps and armies was extremely inferior.
At this critical juncture, without an influx of a large number of weapons and equipment, the military of the Eight countries in Southeast would definitely be crushed.
This was the outcome Greg least wanted to see.
He had only just stabilized the livelihood of the Eight countries in Southeast; now was the time for recuperation.
The army was equally indispensable in the international arena; if it wasn’t strong, relying only on a few factions would never bring peace of mind.
So Black Wolf and Jack William received their orders and flew to Bear Country overnight in utmost secrecy, even their identities disguised.
Until five o’clock in the morning,
Fox came again, waking Greg, who was resting with his eyes closed.
“Lord Dragon King, the military from all over the Eight countries in Southeast has been moved to the border as per your instructions, tightly guarded. Additionally, all major factions under Dragon King’s Palace are also slowly transitioning there.”
Greg hummed in acknowledgment, “This hasn’t caused any alarm among the citizens of the Eight countries in Southeast, has it?”
“Not yet! However… once the fighting truly begins, the entire Eight countries in Southeast will inevitably plunge into chaos. Alas, it is unavoidable.”
“That’s not a problem, as long as we can keep the people from Cherrywood and the Liberty Alliance from breaching our defenses. Even if the people of the central region panic, it would just be a false alarm!”
“Yes, only… with the combined forces of three factions attacking and the international situation unsettled, we ourselves are hardly safe. Yet, Lord Dragon King, why do you only care about the common people?”
Fox stared at Greg with some confusion, increasingly unable to understand the Dragon King’s thoughts, and daringly asked,
“Shouldn’t our primary concern at this moment be… how to win this battle?”
To him, those civilians were utterly useless in combat, simply cannon fodder.
Whether in terms of status or other aspects, Dragon King’s Palace should put itself first.
Even the previous Dragon King had always adhered to this belief and had never seen anyone like the current Dragon King, who always mentioned the welfare of the populace.
Although the Lord Dragon King had once said that winning the hearts of the people meant winning the world,
right now, they themselves were hardly able to safeguard their own position, let alone care for the lives of so many.

And now that the Liberty Alliance had taken action, the Dragon King’s Palace, or rather the Lord Dragon King himself, despite any remarkable abilities, would find it difficult to contend with the forces from three major international powers.
If necessary, they could completely sacrifice the pawns to save the king, with the saying that as long as the green hills are there, there is no fear of running out of firewood. Compared to the survival of Dragon King’s Palace, the welfare of the civilians was as trivial as heaven and earth.
