”City lord Guo, what do you think?” Guo Yannan wanted to maintain his neutrality and not annoy either side. However, Shantha was not ready to let him do that; he wanted Guo Yannan to make his stance clear.

When he heard these words, Han Duya fiercely stared at Guo Yannan.

Guo Yannan was placed in a truly difficult spot and did not know how to answer. After pondering, he replied, ”Whether you decide to fight or not, I'll give my fullest support. The decision will be up to you two.” His words were like saying nothing at all.

Shantha's face showed a hunt of disappointment while Han Duya could not help but scold out, ”Soft!”

A look of shame appeared on Guo Yannan's face, and his facial muscles twitched. Sometimes, it was the scariest when an honest person kept quiet. The moment they exploded, it would be enough to shock everyone.

A weird look flashed across Shantha's eyes.

Old fox let's see how long you can hold this in, Shantha thought to himself.

One proposed fighting, one proposed peace, and one remained neutral.

The three Johor heads entered a stalemate, and no one was able to persuade anyone.

”Since no one is willing to budge, why don't we draw lots to decide!” Han Duya did not want to give up.

Shantha's eyes jolted, as he said calmly, ”This concerns our country. How can you play such a game?” His upbringing was extremely good. Even though he hated this rough and brutish character, he did not show any outward unhappiness.

However, Han Duya could not take Shantha's tone. Although he looked tough on the outside, he was an exceedingly sensitive person. He could clearly feel the disdain that Shantha had for him.

As a result, Han Duya would oppose him in all decisions. If not, and the two of them simply worked together, Johor would not even have a place for Guo Yannan, so why would there be a case of three powers?

However, Shantha was deep in it and had no idea.

Guo Yannan looked like a rookie that could be bullied, but in truth, he had perfected the art of balancing things.

The three of them were all exceptional people.

”Since that's the case, let's not move our troops and just watch for changes!” Shantha said.

”That's a good choice!” Guo Yannan nodded.

Although he was not willing, Han Duya was helpless. In the end, the main force for country wars belonged to the territories. It was impossible to win a country war by relying on adventure gamemode players alone.

Since Shantha and Guo Yannan had both chosen to shelve action, there was nothing Han Duya could say.

Ouyang Shuo had something on Johor. Furthermore, he had already expressed his good intentions, so they decided not to attack. As for Java, which was south of Xingzhou Prefecture, they did not even hesitate, forming up a 50 thousand troops alliance army and striking at Xingzhou Prefecture.

Java State was formed from 17,508 Islands, and it was the biggest island country in the world, stretching from Asia to Oceania. It was termed by many as the thousand island country, and it was the largest out of the ASEAN countries.

The Imperial City was known as Jakarta, located north west of Johor, it was the biggest imperial city in ASEAN.

The port in Jakarta was the biggest port, second to only Xingzhou. It was an important bridge between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

Java had a high population density with over 20 million people, only smaller than China, India and America, ranking 4th in the world.

Hence, there would be around two million guards inside Jakarta, exceeding any imperial city in China. Hence, one could foresee that it would be highly difficult to attack Java.

Apart from land and population, Java was exceedingly rich in natural resources. It had peppers, spices, oil, and ores.

Hence, Java was one of the most influential countries in ASEAN.

With such a foundation, why wouldn't they actively throw themselves into the fight against Shanhai City? Apart from that, there was also one more reason that motivated them to attack Xingzhou Prefecture.

In history, Java used to be one of the countries that hated the Chinese the most. They had killed many Chinese people in a manner that totally lacked humanity, shocking the entire world.

After entering the new world and forming the federal government, these killings were finally stopped.

Even so, the players of Java did not have a good impression of the China region. Hence, when Ruan Tianque from Annan suggested attacking Shanhai City, Java was the most eager.

The alliance army came from Jinzhou Island's few Lords.

Jinzhou Island was famous for producing gold, which was how it received its name. It was the second biggest island in Java. Its north-east side faced the Malacca Straits, facing Johor. It was only one to two days away from the Xingzhou Prefecture.

Regretfully, the powerful waves of the Indian Ocean meant that Jinzhou Island lacked natural ports. Hence, Jinzhou Island was famous for its strong army but not its navy.

Even so, in the eyes of the Java players, they had more than enough to deal with the remnants of some army.

...

4th month, 24th day, the Java Alliance Navy bumped into Zheng He's squadron near Xingzhou Bay.

”Who are you? This is the land of Shanhai City, please do not enter!” When Zheng He received the news, he asked his soldiers to signal the flag messages.

”We are from Java, stupid Cina, get out of Singapore.” The flag language reply from them lacked any courtesy, and it was even insulting them.

As they sent this message, they led their troops and charged over.

In their eyes, the voyage squadron in front of them was only an empty rack. They did not need to hesitate and could just crush them.

What they did not know was that thanks to the cross-country teleportation formation, the strength of the squadron did not drop and had risen instead.
