"Don't underestimate them. Our intelligence on the Tyrant King and his people is outdated. We have no idea what their current strength is, so being cautious is definitely not wrong."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Stop doubting this. Keep a close eye on the Hades Association; I suspect they'll coordinate with the Tyrant King's actions. This time, when the Tyrant King leaves the Demon Battlefield to return to the Dragon Country, a catastrophe is bound to occur."

"Yes, we will monitor them closely."

King Chu Jiang left.

Capital City, at the Hades Association's base.

The Passion Demon arrived.

Cheng Kun led his men to greet him.

"Alright, no need for so many formalities. The Tyrant King is about to make his move, but he needs us to do something."

The Passion Demon said with a smile.

"What should we do? How should we do it? Just give your orders."

Cheng Kun replied.

"Feign attack!"

The Passion Demon said casually, "The Tyrant King's idea is for us to feign an attack on the Capital City to draw Dragon Country's attention. This way, the borders will surely be left undefended, and when they launch an attack, they can deliver a heavy blow to Dragon Country."

"Doesn't sound like the Tyrant King's usual approach. The Tyrant King has always been domineering and prefers to use force to subdue people. How come he's using a bait-and-switch strategy now?"

Cheng Kun laughed.

"Getting old means getting cautious."

The Passion Demon chuckled, "Of course, I agree with this approach. Recently, for some unknown reason, all four borders of Dragon Country have strengthened their defenses. Of the twelve War Gods, eleven have been sent to the front lines.

Surely, someone is plotting behind the scenes.

So, we must feign an attack."

"Passion Demon Lord, just give us the command. What do you want us to do?"

Cheng Kun asked.

"The Tyrant King's plan is just to feign an attack on the Capital City. Now, you mobilize the experts from the Hades Association across the country to the Capital City. Don't worry about being discovered.

Let them know we're being deployed.

Three days later, we start the operation."

The Passion Demon said.

"Okay, no problem!"

Cheng Kun received the order and immediately issued the directive, mobilizing all Hades Association members nationwide to the Capital City.

Just as the Hades Association began to move, Xiao Chen got the news.

"Is the Hades Association crazy? Suddenly attacking the Capital City? Is this their so-called big operation?"

Xiao Chen frowned.

This wasn't what he had anticipated at all.

"War God King, receive your orders, head to the Capital City immediately without any mistakes!"

The command from above came down.

Xiao Chen frowned, leaving his family to the protection of the Dragon Clan in the Capital City.

This was an order, no matter what different opinion he might have, he had to act first.

Within a day, Xiao Chen reached the Capital City.

At a meeting, Xiao Chen presented a differing opinion.

"I think this action by the Hades Association is more like a feigned attack, and their real target isn't the Capital City."

"You think? How confident are you?"

Someone asked.

"I'm absolutely certain. The Hades Association's actions this time are too bizarre to be their true aim."

Xiao Chen said, "Besides, with us stationed here in the Capital City, there's no need to recall the War Gods. The defenses of the four borders must not be relaxed."

"Xiao Chen, do you know that the Capital City is the heart of Dragon Country? Even if the four borders are breached, it's just some ordinary people or soldiers who will die.

If the Capital City is destroyed, you will be held accountable."

The speaker was an old man, one of the four Grandmasters of Dragon Country, the Military Grand Master.

The Military Grand Master was once a military god, a truly terrifying warrior.

After stepping down, he was appointed as a Grandmaster and had been living in the Capital City ever since.

This person is strong, with countless military achievements, but he has a flaw that Xiao Chen finds unacceptable.

The Military Grand Master is an old minister from the previous dynasty, so he doesn't care about the lives of the common people, only about the central government and these so-called nobles.

"Xiao Chen, even if your guess is right, can you guarantee that the Hades Association won't take the opportunity to attack the Capital City? If the central government suffers even the slightest damage, can you bear that responsibility?"

The one speaking was the Political Grand Master.

Also an old minister from Dragon Country.

With immense power and a thriving family clan.

"Alright, there's no need to discuss any further today. Reallocate part of the army from the four borders to defend the Capital City and ensure the central government's protection.

If the central government stands firm, Dragon Country won't fall."

This time, the speaker was the Martial Grand Master.

Out of Dragon Country's four Grandmasters, three opposed Xiao Chen's view.

Only the Economic Grand Master sighed and chose to remain silent.

He agreed with Xiao Chen's perspective, but now it was of no use.

"You'll all regret your actions today, stubborn as ever!"

Xiao Chen was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

He couldn't just go up and hit these people, could he?

They were truly pillars of support.

Unless he didn't want to remain in Dragon Country anymore.

Time passed day by day.

Three days quickly arrived.

The Hades Association launched an attack on the Capital City.

Focused their attack on the central government and other key areas.

But due to prior defenses, the Capital City suffered no significant losses.

Strangely enough, the Hades Association also didn't suffer much.

Because they just retreated when they couldn't win.

It was almost like a planned show.

By now, Xiao Chen had completely confirmed it was a feigned attack.

Unfortunately, he couldn't change anything.

He was ordered to stay in the Capital City, unable to leave.

He couldn't do anything at all.

"It seems that for Dragon Country to completely set on the right path, some of these stubborn thinkers need to be cleared out."

Xiao Chen thought to himself.

These people don't consider the lives of the common people at all, how can this be right?

The funniest part was that they actually thought their strategy this time was appropriate, resulting in the Hades Association's failure.

What a joke, the Hades Association was monitored by Xiao Chen the whole time, what could they even do?

Absolutely ridiculous.

"Boss, the intensity of the Hades Association's attack is gradually weakening, and there are signs of retreat."

"Boss, there are suspected traces of a large army in the four borders."

"Boss, the Hades Association seems to be heading towards the Northern Border."

…

Messages kept coming to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen furrowed his brow deeper.

The Capital City didn't suffer any losses.

The central government was naturally satisfied.

The four Grandmasters were naturally pleased as well.

But based on this intelligence, it was clear that the danger seemed to be getting closer.

"Send the order, the Hades Association wants to leave the Capital City, but that's not happening. If they want to feign an attack, I'll ensure they all die here.

Not a single one will leave."

Xiao Chen said with a grim face.

This time, he was truly powerless. The authorities above wouldn't listen to him, so what could he do?

He could only hope that the four Heavenly Kings sent to the four borders could save more lives.

"Understood!"

King Chu Jiang left.

At Xiao Chen's disposal, besides the Xiao Alliance and the Dragon Clan, no one else could leave the Capital City, so now the only thing he could do was to annihilate all the living forces of the Hades Association in Dragon Country.

The Passion Demon and Cheng Kun saw the highway.

They were thrilled, and after completing the tasks here, they just needed to wait for developments on the four borders.

"Hahaha, Dragon Country indeed temporarily diverted a large force from the four borders to the Capital City. Our mission was flawlessly completed."

Cheng Kun laughed heartily.

"The Tyrant King had long seen through Dragon Country's situation. The power of those four Grandmasters was too great; anyone could be mobilized, and they were more concerned about the Capital City's safety than the lives of the people.

Even if someone raised objections, it would be useless."

The Passion Demon sneered.
