Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069

Ye Ningbing did communicate with the people of The Stars and Stripes Country through diplomatic channels, but the conditions given by The Stars and Stripes Country were extremely unreasonable.

That includes compensating The Stars and Stripes Country for previous losses, a compensation of three billion US Dollars within their jurisdiction, and additionally withdrawing troops from Vietnam Country. Also, Yongfan Island must not appear in the form of a country.

These three conditions are completely unreasonable, especially the last one, where Yongfan Island must not appear in the name of a country, which essentially states the position of The Stars and Stripes Country. This last condition greatly restricts the economic development of Yongfan Island.

At the end of the negotiations, The Stars and Stripes Country only gave Ye Ningbing a week to consider. If no response is given within a week, The Stars and Stripes Country will conduct an armed military strike on Yongfan Island.

After returning to Yongfan Island, Ye Ningbing directly discussed with Hu Jin.

Hu Jin finally convened a meeting among Yongfan Island's top-level officials. Everyone had different opinions.

Inside Yongfan Island, some people advocated for a direct fight, following Ding Fan's previous style; the opponent has already provoked them, so there is no need to be polite.

However, quite a significant portion believes that the current situation should prioritize peace.

Although Yongfan Island has won consecutive battles before, it does not mean that Yongfan Island now has the capital to compete with the world's strongest power, The Stars and Stripes Country.

Moreover, this time The Stars and Stripes Country came with great momentum, and they even formed an Allied Forces.

It's already very difficult to deal with The Stars and Stripes Country alone, and now they have to face multiple military powers forming an Allied Forces.

For a time, there was bustling activity, and no way to finalize this matter.

And while Yongfan Island was still debating how to handle this matter, The Stars and Stripes Country had already taken substantive actions.

Firstly, The Stars and Stripes Country suddenly attacked Yongfan Port.

Yongfan Port is in Vietnam Country, and this sudden attack from The Stars and Stripes Country directly caused the sacrifice of nearly five hundred people from one battalion of Yongfan Island.

Additionally, a Heavy Destroyer docked at Yongfan Port was directly sunk by The Stars and Stripes Country.

After The Stars and Stripes Country's actions, the world was in an uproar. No one expected that The Stars and Stripes Country would, without warning, be negotiating with the people of Yongfan Island one moment, and directly attack their port the next.

Now, it is impossible not to involve Ding Fan.

At this point, Hu Jin and Zhou Ruoran went directly to Ding Fan's villa.

Ding Fan is the spiritual support of the entire Yongfan Island, and regarding the matter at hand, if Ding Fan does not take action, the matter really cannot be resolved.

And when everyone arrived outside Ding Fan's villa, the month-long secluded Ding Fan finally emerged from his villa.

During this month, Ding Fan's cultivation made significant progress.

Because Ding Fan was not stingy at all with Pills, during this month, Ding Fan consumed nearly a hundred Sixth Grade Pills.

A Sixth Grade Pill costs not less than several billion, and the value of one hundred Pills requires several trillion.

This period of seclusion allowed Ding Fan to exhaust all the cultivation materials he collected during this time.

The more was paid, naturally the more was gained.

During this month's cultivation, Ding Fan's cultivation advanced two levels, directly jumping to the mid-stage of the Good Fortune Stage.

It is known that progress after the Good Fortune Stage is extremely slow, yet this time Ding Fan jumped two levels, even Ding Fan himself was shocked.

And with the help of the Bronze Mirror in Emperor Pit, Ding Fan's Divine Sense has become even stronger. Considering Ding Fan's current Divine Sense capability, it rivals that of late-stage Emergence Stage cultivators.

After Ding Fan emerged from seclusion, he immediately discovered Hu Jin and others who had come to find him.

When entering seclusion, Ding Fan specially instructed not to disturb him lightly, and now that Hu Jin and the others sought him, it must be a very tricky issue.

"What happened?" Ding Fan directly asked.

"Island Master, The Stars and Stripes Country attacked our port in Vietnam Country, sinking one Heavy Destroyer, and killing over five hundred soldiers."

Hu Jing immediately recounted the recent incident where The Stars and Stripes Country's Fifth Fleet, in conjunction with ships from the United Kingdom and Australia, arrived around Yongfan Island.

Ding Fan frowned, he had thought about The Stars and Stripes Country retaliating against Yongfan Island, but did not expect the retaliation to come so quickly.

"Island Master, what shall we do now?" Huang Can stepped forward to ask.

"There's nothing to say." Ding Fan said plainly. "Order the fleet to attack the Fifth Fleet."

Hu Jin was taken aback. "Shouldn't we declare war on The Stars and Stripes Country first?"

Ding Fan shook his head. "There's no need for that."

When The Stars and Stripes Country stealthily attacked Yongfan Island's Vietnam Base, it was also done without declaring war first. Since they disregard that, Yongfan Island also doesn't need to bother with it.

Ding Fan continued, "Order the troops to assemble immediately; this time I will personally accompany you."

The number of warships on the opposing side is indeed too many; although Yongfan Island has purchased some warships from abroad, the number of warships cannot compare to theirs. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱

Precisely because of this, Ding Fan decided to personally lead the battle.

After Huang Can agreed, he went directly down to make preparations.

Ding Fan then instructed Hu Jin on ensuring Yongfan Island's logistics support follows closely, after which he directly headed toward the port.

Meanwhile, Hu Jin did not delay either, busy arranging personnel to ensure wartime assistance was in place.

"General Gomez. Our operation today has completely dismantled the Vietnam Country base at Yongfan Island, and we have exterminated over five hundred Yongfan Island soldiers. Diana from Reuters just informed me, they've now put the Stars and Stripes Country's massive victory on the headlines. Now, people all over the world know of your outstanding achievements, General." At this moment, a middle-aged man from the Stars and Stripes Country, dressed in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, said with a flattering expression.

The person called Gomez is a man in his fifties, wearing a white naval general's uniform. He looks rather energetic.

"Just a group of pirates, even if we defeat them, what's there to brag about?" Gomez said calmly.

The middle-aged man nearby chuckled. "General, if the Seventh Fleet hears that, I think they'll be very displeased. You should know, it's this group of pirates that caused them heavy losses, and their fleet commander is now suspended."

Gomez snorted lightly. "The Seventh Fleet is the shame of our Stars and Stripes Country. What I need to do now is let people around the world recognize us. We are the true overlords of this world."

The middle-aged man continued to speak. "The fleet commander from the United Kingdom and the fleet commander from Australia have both called, inquiring about our operation. They're asking why we didn't involve them."

Gomez seemed indifferent. "The officials are too cautious, requesting Allied forces for dealing with some pirates. Tell them to just be spectators and that we can handle the warfare ourselves."

The middle-aged man nodded and continued speaking after a brief compliment.

"General, should we withdraw some distance? After all, the Stars and Stripes Country's harbor was raided, they will likely retaliate. Keeping some distance, we can detect military actions from them in advance."

Gomez laughed as if hearing a funny joke. "I don't think that's necessary. Do you think they have the guts to attack in the face of our Three Kingdoms Allied Forces?"

Just as Gomez was speaking, a series of violent explosions sounded from afar.

Gomez's brows furrowed slightly. The middle-aged man too seemed tense, sensing that something was about to happen.

"General... General..."

At this moment, a major ran in from outside.

"What's happened?" Gomez asked.

"General, one of our heavy escort ships was just attacked by enemy aircraft."

"Where's our radar? Before the enemy aircraft approached, did our radar not detect them?" Gomez's tone grew heavier.

"Our radar has shown no signs at all. Even after they've sunk our warship, no signals of enemy aircraft appeared on our radar," the major reported.

Gomez's brows furrowed tightly.

The middle-aged man's face showed some panic. "It seems everything the Seventh Fleet said was true; they have indeed mastered stealth technology."

After its defeat, the Seventh Fleet conducted a review, claimed that their combat failure was largely due to Yongfan Island's stealth technology.

Previously, many in the Stars and Stripes Country believed that was merely an excuse from the Seventh Fleet.

While stealth technology has been deployed in some fields, it isn't perfect invisibility. Various countries' anti-stealth equipment can detect concealed entities like aircraft, ships, tanks, etc.

Stars and Stripes Country's anti-stealth capabilities are supposedly superior.

Yet, facing the enemy's attack, they were utterly clueless. Even when the warship was attacked, they detected nothing on radar.

From this, it seems the enemy's stealth technology has reached a terrifying level.

"What about the attacked escort ship?" Gomez asked.

The major answered truthfully. "The attacked escort ship has suffered severe damage and is beginning to sink. The crew has jumped into the sea for survival."

Gomez's face grew even graver. They had never encountered an adverse situation .

Their warship was sunk, while the enemy comfortably retreated...

And at that moment, the door of the resting room where Gomez and they were was kicked open.

Then something was tossed inside, startling everyone in the room.

Once everyone saw clearly, their mouths opened wide in shock.

At this time, a Stars and Stripes Country navy soldier was thrown inside. Following behind him was a young Huaxia Country man with a calm expression.

The person who entered turned out to be Ding Fan.

Seeing the intruder, the major hurriedly tried to draw his gun.

But before he could pull out his handgun, Ding Fan, without wasting words, sent a Wind Blade slashing directly.

A gush of blood spurted up.

Upon looking at the man's arm, it had been cleanly severed by Ding Fan.

"Wizard... could it be a Wizard?" Gomez's eyes widened.
