Faced with the Black Tide crisis, the nations decided to put aside their differences, unite, and head to the Cursed Islands to find a way out.

Not long after.

The outer islands of the Cursed Islands.

Temporary teleportation point.

Millions of dragons and light legions have gathered in one place.

It was Guo Jing, the highest leader of the Imperial Capital Military Region, and the army under the command of Senior Colonel Wang Zhenguo of the Military Region.

In addition, a dozen or so high-ranking lords from the Dragon Kingdom led their armies to this place.

As time passed, the lights on the field shimmered, and it became extremely lively.

William, the supreme commander of the U.S. Far East Command, Goro Yamamoto, a lieutenant general in the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and head of the Special Operations Office for China, and Lee Seung-chan, deputy commander of the armed forces of the Great Han Dynasty, led their respective troops to assemble in one place.

In addition, there were numerous vassal NATO states whose leaders followed behind the US leader, William.

"Guo Jing, your Dragon Kingdom is truly outnumbered and outmatched!"

William stepped forward and said with a forced smile.

"This isn't child's play; what's the use of having a lot?" Guo Jing said without changing his expression. "Looks like your injury from last time has fully healed. Congratulations!"

"Hmph, I was careless last time. Otherwise, how could the great American Empire have possibly lost?"

William's hand was clasped with Guo Jing's.

But there was no sign of friendship between the two.

"This Black Tide is a continent-wide crisis, concerning the life and death of all human lords. Therefore, I hope that we can cooperate sincerely to fight against the hybrid monsters and find a way to break the Black Tide."

Guo Jing withdrew his hand, his face looking very serious.

There's an old saying in China: "When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact." I understand this principle.

William snorted and quickly replied.

Just then, Lieutenant General Goro Yamamoto of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, head of the Special Operations Division for China, stepped forward angrily and shouted, "Shameless Chinese, utterly despicable, dared to launch a sneak attack on our Japanese lords, resulting in the tragic deaths of four Japanese lords in the desolate wilderness."

"A sneak attack? You Japanese are really good at turning the tables. It was clearly you who launched a premeditated attack, heading into the desolate wilderness to target the rising star of the Dragon Kingdom—Su Bai. Who would have thought that you would lose more than you gain and be wiped out instead?"

Wang Zhenguo strode forward and mocked mercilessly.

"Baka!" Yamamoto Goro was so angry that his face almost turned green.

He raised his head, pointed at Wang Zhenguo's nose, and said, "Your Dragon Kingdom must pay compensation, otherwise, the Great Japanese Empire will not let you off the hook."

"Don't point your claws at me!"

Wang Zhenguo shoved Yamamoto Goro's arm away and raised his voice, "You're not convinced? Get into a fighting stance now and let's fight!"

"You idiot! You Chinese, you're asking for death!" Yamamoto Goro was furious and was about to order his troops to form a battle formation.

"Stop! Don't forget our purpose today: to break the Black Tide and fight the hybrid monster!"

William raised his voice and gave Yamamoto Goro a fierce look.

"Yes, sir! I will always obey your will!" Goro Yamamoto stammered, startled.

"What a dog of the United States!" Wang Zhenguo cursed.

Yamamoto Goro was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Li Chengcan, deputy commander of the armed forces of the Great Han Ming Kingdom, stepped forward and said, "Since this operation is a joint operation by the lords of various countries, there should be a commander-in-chief. I propose that Lord William of the United States, with his outstanding strength and the unparalleled combat power of his troops, should be the commander-in-chief of this world coalition!"

"I agree!" Goro Yamamoto shouted.

I agree!

"I agree!"

The numerous lords from the United States, Japan, South Korea, and India present all expressed their agreement.

Only the rulers of the Russian Empire and a few other lords expressed their opposition.

"The majority must obey the minority, so I should be the commander-in-chief of this world coalition!"

William was all smiles, looking very pleased with himself.

"I have decided that the vanguard will be led by the Lord of the Dragon Kingdom! You should be pleased with such a glorious mission!"

These words enraged all the Dragon Kingdom lords present.

Unfortunately, the current situation does indeed favor the United States and its allied nations.

Furthermore, for the sake of the overall situation, Guo Jing did not want to break out into conflict with these countries at this time.

Therefore, even knowing that he was using the Dragon Kingdom lord's troops as cannon fodder, he planned to endure it.

"Mr. Guo, are we really going to let these foreigners ride on our necks?" Wang Zhenguo looked at Guo Jing, appearing very unwilling.

"If a conflict breaks out, it is highly likely that all human lords will be destroyed by the hybrid monsters, so... let's just bear with it." Guo Jing sighed softly.

For thousands of years, traditional Confucian culture has been influencing the thoughts of the Chinese people.

The Doctrine of the Mean values ​​harmony above all else.

It's ingrained in the DNA of the Chinese people.

Therefore, faced with William's aggressive tactics, Guo Jing chose to remain patient for the time being in order to preserve the overall situation.

At the same time, the foreign lords on the field burst into laughter.

"Look at these Chinese people, they're so spineless. They're being bullied and they don't even dare to say a word!"

"The great United States is not only the hegemon on Earth, but also the hegemon in the land of redemption!"

"These damned Chinese monkeys should be at the forefront! Our white lives are so valuable, they can't die in vain!"

"Yoshi! There are so many people in China, it doesn't matter if a few die!"

"The American Empire reigns supreme in the Land of Redemption. Those countries that oppose the United States, take a good look. Even the Dragon Kingdom has yielded. Do you still dare to resist?"

"They are the sick man of East Asia after all; their spines will always be bent!"

Upon hearing this last sentence, the expressions on the faces of the Japanese and Korean lords clearly changed.

Upon seeing that it was the American lord who spoke, they lowered their heads and didn't dare utter a single word.

"Damn it! You're asking for it!"

Wang Zhenguo's expression changed drastically almost instantly, and a surge of anger rose up from his sides.

"Lord of the Dragon Kingdom, if you know what's good for you, go and lead the vanguard to clear the way for the World Alliance. Otherwise, we'll wipe you out right now!"

William sneered, a malicious smile spreading across his face.

His previous defeat in the desolate wilderness had caused him to lose face.

In order to save face and prove America's absolute hegemony, William plotted day and night.

Now that he has encountered such a good opportunity, how could he miss it?

"Allied forces, heed my command! Surround all the lords of the Dragon Kingdom and the Bear Kingdom present here!"

William waved his hand and shouted.

In the blink of an eye, tens of millions of high-level lords' troops surrounded Guo Jing, Wang Zhenguo, and others from the land, sea, and air.
