The sea breeze blew gently, with a bit of salty and free breath, blowing Arthur Grayson's exquisite silver hair, and adding an indescribable firmness to his deep eyes.

He wore a well-tailored black military uniform, and the golden shoulder straps shone brightly in the sun, highlighting his extraordinary identity and status.

Standing on the bow of the flagship, Arthur Grayson seemed to be the only commander on this vast ocean, leading the huge fleet to an unknown destiny.

He looked into the distance, where was the direction of Xiaguo, an ancient and powerful country, waiting for his challenge.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, with all three services of the navy, army and air force, were approaching the land step by step according to precise deployment, like a torrent of steel.

This war was not only revenge for Manik Pratt, but also a direct collision of the will and power of the two countries.

"Lord Arthur, according to your instructions, the navy, army and air force are advancing towards Xia Kingdom in an orderly manner. It is expected that they will be able to reach Xia Kingdom in three days."

A burly soldier in military uniform reported loudly.

"Good."

Arthur Grayson still looked at the boundless ocean without any emotional fluctuations.

The voice of the burly soldier sounded again, with a bit of awe and loyalty, "Our army is in high spirits and well-equipped. We will definitely live up to your expectations and win honor for the empire."

Arthur Grayson nodded slightly, his voice steady and powerful: "Very good, keep up this momentum. War is not only a contest of force, but also a game of wisdom and will. We must ensure that every step is taken steadily and leave no opportunity for the enemy."

Just at this moment, Gwen suddenly came over.

"Lord Arthur, someone from Japan wants to see you!"

The news about the Japanese envoy made Arthur Grayson frown slightly, but he soon regained his composure.

"Japan...what are they doing here at this critical moment?"

Arthur Grayson thought to himself, but he didn't show it on the surface.

He waved his hand gently, signaling Gwen: "Bring him in, I want to hear their intentions."

Soon, a middle-aged man in kimono and serious face was brought to Arthur Grayson.

He performed a standard Japanese etiquette, and then said: "Lord Arthur, on behalf of the Japanese government, I express our respect and friendship to you. This time, we come here in the hope of having in-depth exchanges and cooperation with your country on the upcoming Xia war."

Arthur Grayson raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously surprised by Japan's sudden show of goodwill.

But he quickly recovered and responded in the same calm and polite manner: "I understand Japan's intention. However, war is related to the fate of the country and the dignity of the nation, so we need to consider it carefully. However, since your country is willing to cooperate, let's sit down and have a good talk."

"You should know that our great legendary beastmaster Yamamoto Tenko of Japan actually died in Xia. If we don't avenge such a deep hatred, how can we save our face?"

"Besides, Xia is now more powerful and may invade our country at any time and anywhere, so His Majesty the Emperor sent me to express his most sincere and loyal willingness to cooperate with you, hoping to work with your country to defeat Xia!"

The Japanese envoy said respectfully and seriously.

Originally, the death of Yamamoto Tenko made Japan full of endless fear of Xia.

You know, Yamamoto Tenko is the most powerful beastmaster in Japan!

However, he unfortunately died in Xia, and what is even more shocking is that he was killed by a teenager in Xia!

Such a fact made the Japanese feel extremely panicked and uneasy.

Facing such a powerful enemy, they were simply unable to compete.

Therefore, in order to avoid the revenge of Xia, Japan chose to bow its head and show weakness, expressing its willingness to send envoys to Xia to seek peace.

The legendary beastmaster of their own country died tragically in a foreign land. Not only could they not avenge their hatred, but they had to beg for peace in a humble manner. This humiliation was really unbearable.

Originally, Japan had planned to swallow its anger and eat the bitter fruit.

Unexpectedly, the legendary beastmaster of the United States, Manik Pratt, also died in Xia, and the United States also assembled an army to attack Xia. This was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Japan.

At this time, the top leaders in Japan were very excited.

They believed that this was a rare opportunity to use the power of the United States to avenge their previous shame.

Therefore, the Japanese government quickly made a decision to send a special envoy to the United States to discuss cooperation with the United States.

And sent a special envoy to meet Arthur Grayson.

Japan is willing to provide all necessary support and assistance, including military and economic aspects.

At the same time, Japan hopes to get a share of this war, wash away the past shame, and take the opportunity to expand its sphere of influence.

For Japan, this opportunity is hard-won.

They are determined to seize this opportunity, join hands with the United States, and jointly attack Xia.

Only in this way can Japan's ambitions and goals be truly realized.

Arthur Grayson's mouth corners slightly raised, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Oh? Then how are you going to assist me?"

The Japanese envoy straightened his back and answered firmly: "We are willing to send 100,000 elite troops and 30,000 beastmasters to participate in this battle. All of Japan will obey your dispatch and go all out."

Arthur Grayson nodded, indicating that he understood: "Very good, I understand. You wait for my order first."

After that, he turned and left, leaving the Japanese envoy standing there.

Arthur Grayson knew very well what Japan's intentions and ambitions were.

They hoped to take this opportunity to avenge Xia and regain the lost territory.

Although he did not completely trust the Japanese, as long as their goals were the same, they could cooperate temporarily.

In addition, Japan was close to Xia, and it was more convenient for both material supply and troop dispatch.

This was also an advantage for him, which could increase their chances of winning the attack on Xia.
