"Since Zha Lai has already received due punishment, why not let this matter end here!"
"Since His Majesty the King has spoken, then let it be!" Liu Kai Xuan nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Kai Ya Dun called for Fei Ao and Liu Kai Xuan to shake hands and make peace.
This grand and tumultuous dispute had thus come to a close.
However, these circumstances, in the final analysis, were merely superficial!
Liu Kai Xuan understood very clearly that in a place like the Kai Ya Kingdom, the principle he had to adhere to was the survival of the fittest!
For those who dared to offend him, they had to be beaten until they were in pain, crippled, and rendered useless!
Only by doing so could he establish his authority in the Kai Ya Kingdom, and no one would dare to provoke him in the future.
He wanted to let those warlord factions know that even if they had troops, they should not provoke him!
On the day Kai Ya Dun intervened, both sides were at peace.
However, seven days after the mediation, a momentous event occurred.
Soldiers of the Third Battalion, 114th Regiment, 75th Brigade, were suddenly ambushed by unidentified personnel during a patrol.
All 30 soldiers in the patrol team were killed, not a single one survived!
On the ninth day, the Third Battalion's encampment was subjected to shelling by unidentified armed forces, resulting in over 70 casualties!
On the eleventh day, Brigade Commander Fei Ao was shot by a sniper during a social event and seriously wounded!
Over the following days, the Third Battalion suffered multiple attacks.
These attacks directly led to the Third Battalion's complete paralysis.
Soldiers fled in droves, afraid to return to the barracks.
Fei Ao, lying in his hospital bed, was furious!
Cornered, Fei Ao decisively issued an order for the 114th Regiment to organize a counterattack and shell the Kai Xuan Oilfield!
The roar of cannons echoed, and the Kai Xuan Oilfield was engulfed in flames, spewing thick smoke!
The newly constructed Oil Well No. 1 was directly reduced to ruins by the bombing.
Ouyang Xue immediately came to find Liu Kai Xuan to discuss countermeasures, while Liu Kai Xuan, with a wave of his hand, had Rem forcibly drag her into an underground air-raid shelter for safety.
Following that, Liu Kai Xuan personally led his guard battalion to counterattack the 114th Regiment that had launched the attack.
As an imperial regular army, the 114th Regiment possessed considerable heavy weaponry. Light infantry alone would not be able to achieve victory.
Liu Kai Xuan then purchased a large quantity of military equipment from the system store and distributed it to his soldiers.
Each squad of light infantry was equipped with a set of anti-tank missiles.
Even when facing enemy tanks, as long as the combat was coordinated, they would still possess the ability to counterattack.
In reality, the 500 soldiers of the guard battalion could, at best, only fill the ranks.
The true core strength lay with the elite squad organized by Liu Kai Xuan.
The elite squad was entirely composed of intelligent robots.
This group of individuals possessed exceptional combat capabilities and, moreover, iron-like fighting will.
The most crucial point was that each of them was built like steel, with extremely high resistance to damage.
In the current global landscape, very few weapons could inflict damage upon them.
The outdated firearms used by the warlord forces were no different than mosquito bites on the robots.
The Imperial Palace.
As soon as Liu Kai Xuan's forces moved out, intelligence personnel reported this news truthfully to Kai Ya Dun.
"Hmph, this brat is truly tired of living!"
Man Manfei inquired, "Your Majesty, do you not intend to help Count Kai Xuan again?"
Kai Ya Dun replied with a cold laugh, "Now it's this fool Liu Kai Xuan who is tired of living and rushing to his death!"
"If he's rushing to his death, how can I help?"
"I'll just wait for him to fight the 75th Brigade to a mutual destruction, and then I'll send people to clean up the mess!"
Kai Ya Dun had already made his decision, and Man Manfei did not press the matter further.
In her opinion, she also felt that Liu Kai Xuan was being overly ambitious.
The previous time, the conflict between the two sides had been so explosive that it was only resolved with the personal intervention of the King.
Who would have thought that in less than a month, Liu Kai Xuan would be restless again!
Kai Ya Dun decided to wait and see. If Liu Kai Xuan suffered a devastating blow under Fei Ao's assault,
then Liu Kai Xuan would cease to exist.
Kai Ya Dun would dispatch his own men to take actual control of the oilfield development.
If Liu Kai Xuan was fortunate enough to preserve his strength and retreat, then he would severely reprimand Liu Kai Xuan.
In this way, he could further control this stubborn mule, Liu Kai Xuan, in the future.
Perhaps Kai Ya Dun would never have dreamed that Liu Kai Xuan had never considered failure as an option.
This time, having decided to deal with the 75th Brigade, Liu Kai Xuan was already confident before making his move.
Moreover, Liu Kai Xuan did not intend to remain subservient to Kai Ya Dun indefinitely.
The soldiers of the 75th Brigade formed a huge pocket formation outside the oilfield, waiting for Liu Kai Xuan to walk into their trap.
Unfortunately, what this group of people never dreamed of was that Liu Kai Xuan had pulled a trick of the empty city strategy on them!
Liu Kai Xuan's apparent target of attack was the enemy's artillery positions.
In reality, the main force left the camp, feigned an advance, and then headed straight for Huolai Town.
Outside Huolai Town, there was a military base, which was the headquarters of the 75th Brigade.
Liu Kai Xuan's fierce flanking attack directly penetrated into the stronghold of the 75th Brigade.
The 75th Brigade was caught completely off guard, and their headquarters was completely destroyed.
A large quantity of military supplies stored within the headquarters base also suffered significant damage.
Weapons that were easy to carry were all taken away.
Things that were inconvenient to carry were all concentrated and destroyed, and even the entire military base was leveled.
"Beast, Liu Kai Xuan, this lawless beast, I don't think he wants to live!"
Fei Ao, lying in his hospital bed, vomited blood in anger upon receiving this news.
Immediately, Fei Ao issued an order to his subordinates.
"Gather all forces, return to the headquarters base, and annihilate all of Liu Kai Xuan's men!"
"Yes, General!"
Several subordinates received the order and left. Among them, a staff officer stepped forward and said.
"Brigade Commander, our heavy armor corps is moving slowly. It is too difficult to catch up with Liu Kai Xuan's lightly armed troops!"
"I believe we can directly attack Liu Kai Xuan's oilfield!"
"As long as the oilfield is captured, Liu Kai Xuan's forces will become rootless duckweed!"
Fei Ao expressed great concern regarding the staff officer's viewpoint.
"Advisor Monk, your plan is highly feasible, but do not forget that the mine also has His Majesty the King's equity!"
"If we directly send troops to occupy the mine, I am worried that His Majesty the King will not be pleased!"
Monk replied, "General, this problem is actually very easy to solve!"
