Chapter 1565 - 1540: Guo Jianglong and Pangolin Join Forces

In the Golden Armor City, the City Lord Pangolin received Black Wood and learned that Yang Xiao wanted to establish a nation.

Pangolin similarly refused Black Wood.

"I've been feeling unwell lately, so I won't be attending your nation-building celebration. Please convey my best wishes to Lord Yang and wish you all the best!"

After Black Wood left, Pangolin immediately summoned his trusted subordinates for a meeting.

"Everyone, tell me, Yang Xiao wants to establish a nation, what is he trying to do?"

One of the subordinates said:

"Boss, Yang Xiao's intention is clear, he not only wants to establish a nation, he wants to unify the entire Central Continent."

"Yes, Boss, Yang Xiao doesn't regard you at all, arrogantly inviting you to witness the ceremony, isn't this a slap in your face?"

"Yang Xiao is basically telling Boss, I am establishing a nation now, figure out what you want to do, either join my nation or wait for me to deal with you."

"Boss, we must come up with a plan, otherwise, the consequences are worrying."

"Yang Xiao now possesses over sixty cities and is already the foremost ruler of the Central Continent. Do you think he will come to attack us?"

"It's not a question of if he will, but when he will attack us."

"How dare he! I'll fight him to the end."

...

The conversation revealed a hint of fear and sadness in the air.

Yang Xiao returned to the Central Continent, consecutively defeating the Twenty-six City Alliance, slaying Ba Tianhu, killing hundreds of thousands of guards, breaking the siege of the Dark Web, and securing the support of Mr. Master, already stunning the entire Central Continent.

Now, he raises the flag of nation-building high, with an unstoppable force, leaving everyone in awe and shock.

Pangolin naturally understood that Yang Xiao's next target must be him and Guo Jianglong.

Pangolin slammed the table and roared:

"Damn it, that brat Yang Xiao wants to annex me, Pangolin, unless I'm dead,

even if I'm dead, I'll drag him down with me, definitely won't give him any satisfaction."

"Brothers, starting today, align the troops, strengthen defenses, boost morale, always be prepared for Yang Xiao's attack."

Early the next morning, Guo Jianglong's men arrived at the Golden Armor City to visit Pangolin.

"Greetings, City Lord Pangolin!"

Pangolin nodded,

"Guo Jianglong sent you here, is there something he wants to discuss with me?"

"Our boss said he hopes you could come to Tongtian City for an important discussion."

"Did Yang Xiao's people contact Guo Jianglong?"

"Yes."

"Haha, I knew Guo Jianglong would come to find me. Fine, I'll go with you to Tongtian City."

...

Inside the City Lord Mansion in Tongtian City.

Guo Jianglong and Pangolin sat in a hall, drinking and chatting, accompanied by Pangolin's ten or so war generals and guards, while Guo Jianglong also had ten or so trusted subordinates toasting.

Guo Jianglong raised his wine glass,

"Come, brother, let me toast you."

"Alright."

Pangolin drank down his cup, and directly asked:

"Guo Jianglong, we've both been circling around, just say it directly, you called me here, is it for Yang Xiao's nation-building affair?"

"That's right, I called you, brother, to devise a plan, to join forces against Yang Xiao,

If we let Yang Xiao continue this way, our good days will soon be over, and the Central Continent will soon be annexed by Yang Xiao. From then on, this Central Continent will be Yang Xiao's domain, leaving no place for you and me."

"Guo Jianglong, at this point, if we don't join forces, we'll truly be left with nowhere to bury ourselves, just look at Ba Tianhu's fate."

Guo Jianglong let out a long sigh, somewhat regretful, and said:

"Alas, previously, Guo Jianglong invited the two of us to join forces to eliminate the Dark Web and Mr. Master, but we harbored private ambitions and refused to dispatch troops, inciting Ba Tianhu to challenge the Dark Web alone, missing the best opportunity,

If initially the three of us joined forces, Yang Xiao hadn't yet broken into the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm, we could have eradicated the Dark Web and Yang Xiao, avoiding today's passive situation."

Pangolin slammed the table, saying:

"Guo Jianglong, this time, you and I can't have private agendas anymore. If we don't join together to cooperate, I'll go and attend Yang Xiao's nation-building ceremony tomorrow, simply surrendering to Yang Xiao, saving myself from being killed by Yang Xiao in the future."

"Pangolin, you must not have such thoughts, our brothers can surrender, but you and I cannot, think about it, as long as we exist in the Central Continent, we are a threat to Yang Xiao,

No matter if we surrender or not, Yang Xiao will definitely try to eliminate us,

Thus, our only path is to join forces and fight."

Pangolin raised his head and drank a cup of wine, placed it on the table, and exclaimed loudly:

"Guo Jianglong, tell me, when should we join forces to attack Yang Xiao, I have a pent-up anger, feeling extremely uncomfortable, we maintained decades of peace with Ba Tianhu, and now it's broken by that brat Yang Xiao, aren't you angry?"

"Of course, I'm angry, if I weren't, why would I hastily call you to discuss this major issue?"

"Speak, don't hesitate, what should we do? Since you called me here, you must have a plan."

Pangolin looked at Guo Jianglong, understanding that this time Yang Xiao truly stirred Guo Jianglong's interests, making Guo Jianglong anxious.

Ba Tianhu's fate today could well be their fate tomorrow, there's no room for complacency.

Guo Jianglong gazed at Pangolin, pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Yang Xiao engaged in battles with the Twenty-six City Alliance and Ba Tianhu, and although he captured over sixty cities, he also slaughtered two to three hundred thousand troops. Yang Xiao currently doesn't have many soldiers at hand to mobilize,

Additionally, having just recaptured so many cities, his ruling foundation isn't solid, this is the time when Yang Xiao is most vulnerable,

If we join forces now to attack Yang Xiao, we can certainly defeat him,

Otherwise, if Yang Xiao recovers from this stage, establishes authority, rebuilds a vast army, even if we join forces then, we won't be able to contend with him,

And at that time, it won't be us attacking Yang Xiao, but Yang Xiao attacking us,

Pangolin, I know you're always cautious, this time, it's our last opportunity, we have to go all out! What do you think?"

Pangolin downed three cups of wine, smashed the cup, and exclaimed:

"Guo Jianglong, I've already thought about it on the way here, if you're willing, this time, I'll risk my life to defeat Yang Xiao,

You're right, now is when Yang Xiao is most vulnerable, if we don't launch an attack now, I'm afraid there won't be another chance,

I've decided, let's do it!"

"Good!"

Guo Jianglong slammed the table, stood up, and shouted:

"Brothers, Pangolin and I have come to an agreement, we unanimously agree to form an Alliance Army to attack Yang Xiao. Once we defeat Yang Xiao, Pangolin and I will equally divide the entire Central Continent, and you will all enjoy wealth and luxury without end."

"Good!"

The trusted war generals on both sides loudly cheered.

"Attack Sky Tiger City, eradicate Yang Xiao, and eliminate the scourge of the Central Continent!"
