52 My Base, My Decision!
Hearing that Wang Xiao was actually going to attack the Crimson Star Royal Family, the geniuses all revealed suspicious expressions, but no one refuted.
Wang Xiao ignored them and directly took out more than ten intermediate building blueprints and handed them to Zhou Xiruo. “These are Crimson Star’s attack buildings. Take a look and see if you can build them.”
After Zhou Xiruo checked, she nodded. “These buildings are not much different from our Blue Planet’s attack buildings. I can build them.”
“Then let’s begin.”
Wang Xiao decisively ordered, “Other than the outer city wall, dismantle all the other defense buildings and vacate the pit to build attack buildings!”
Seeing that Wang Xiao’s attitude did not seem to be joking, the few geniuses beside him immediately revealed surprised expressions.
Tian Qiang was the first to not be able to help but roar, “Wang Xiao! Are you crazy? Do you really want to attack the royal family of the Crimson Star?”
Zhou Xiruo also said, “Wang Xiao, I believe in your strength, but this method is too risky. Although our defensive buildings can’t withstand the attack of a level four lord, it’s not a problem for us to last until the military provides support!”
Wang Xiao was surrounded by a few people who persuaded him not to take the risk. After the other Blue Planet lords who had joined the base heard about this, they also gathered. For a moment, the voices of dissatisfaction became even louder.
“Shut your mouths!”
Wang Xiao, who was troubled by the noise, roared and suppressed everyone. Then, he pulled a long face and said coldly, “This is my base. I have the final say! If you don’t want to stay, leave. Hide and wait for the military to save you!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was instantly speechless.
Even though they had contributed a lot of materials and resources to this base, the lord of this base was Zhou Xiruo.
Moreover, Zhou Xiruo was Wang Xiao’s vassal lord, so Wang Xiao indeed had the right to decide anything about this base.
The audience in the live-stream boiled over and sent comments saying that Wang Xiao was overestimating himself. A small level two lord actually wanted to challenge a level four lord!
The military big shot in front of the screen had originally planned to take a car to the Kaiyang Academy. When he heard this, he sat down again and said angrily with a dark expression, “This young man really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Is the Crimson Star Royal Family so easy to kill?!”
The black-clothed old man at the side sighed and looked at the screen with eyes filled with pity. “I originally thought that he was a promising talent. I didn’t expect him to be ruined by his youth… What a pity, what a pity!”
The adjutant hesitated for a moment and asked, “Sir, they will definitely die if they go against the Crimson Star Royal Family…”
“Do I need you to remind me?”
The military big shot glared, but he quickly suppressed his anger. He pointed at Wang Xiao on the screen and said in a low voice, “Pass down my order. Open the passageway as quickly as possible and get this kid out at all costs!”
The adjutant’s eyes flickered. “What do you mean by ‘all costs’?”
The military big shot’s gaze swept across the faces of the other geniuses. “Try your best to save them.”
The adjutant’s expression changed for a moment when he heard this. In the end, he still received the order and left. The black-clothed old man stared at the military big shot for a while and left the control room silently.
In the secret realm, in the base.
Seeing that no one else spoke, Wang Xiao took a deep breath and adjusted his expression. “Since no one wants to leave, I’ll start setting up.”
No one spoke. Wang Xiao pointed out a few people from the crowd. “Fang Tianyu, Yang Fan, Lin Dong, Tang Hengshan, Han Bufan, and Tian Qiang, follow me. The others will help Zhou Xiruo modify the base!”
Zhou Xiruo agreed and left with the others. The few geniuses who were called out followed Wang Xiao to the vicinity of the entrance.
“There’s not much time. I’ll only say this once. Listen carefully.”
Wang Xiao first emphasized before taking out the [Winterfall] item card and handing it to Fang Tianyu. “This item card can create an ice field. It can be used a total of three times. Wait for my signal before releasing it.”
“Blue item card?”
Fang Tianyu revealed a surprised expression. “You’re giving me such a precious thing just like that?”
Wang Xiao nodded. “You have the talent of an elemental overlord. The effect will be better.”
“Alright then…”
Fang Tianyu nodded and solemnly accepted this blue item card. At the same time, she vaguely sensed from this detail that Wang Xiao’s so-called “plan” was not impulsive.
After sending the item cards, Wang Xiao asked Fang Tianyu to help Zhou Xiruo. Then, he called Yang Fan, Tang Hengshan, and Han Bufan over and whispered into their ears.
When the three of them finished hearing what Wang Xiao had to say, they all revealed suspicious expressions. The straightforward Tang Hengshan even asked directly, “I suspect that you want us to die.”
“Maybe?”
Wang Xiao shrugged and did not refute. “But is it definitely safe to stay here?”
The three of them were immediately speechless. They looked at each other for a moment before silently turning around and walking out of the base.
As they were about to leave, Tang Hengshan turned around and glared at Wang Xiao. “Wang Xiao, everything here will be broadcasted live. If I die outside this time, even if you’re lucky enough to escape, the Tang family will definitely not let you off!”
Wang Xiao smiled and waved goodbye. The three of them glared at him again and left.
Lin Dong asked curiously, “Why did they go out? What quests did you arrange for them?”
Wang Xiao ignored Lin Dong and turned to look at Tian Qiang, who had been silent all this while. “Your magic network talent can give magical power to soldiers, right?”
Tian Qiang nodded and Wang Xiao continued, “Go and confirm the number of soldiers of the other lords immediately. Within your ability, try your best to choose high-level soldiers to enchant.”
“Alright! I’ll go right away!”
Tian Qiang agreed and was about to leave when he suddenly realized that something was wrong. “I have a dignified level nine talent. Why should I listen to your orders?”
Wang Xiao chuckled. “Then what do you want?”
Tian Qiang said coldly with a straight face, “I have a level nine talent and a limitless future! If you want my help, tell me your plan clearly. Otherwise, I definitely won’t stay here and accompany you to go crazy!”
Wang Xiao stared at Tian Qiang for a while. Seeing that the other party’s attitude was firm, he immediately waved his hand and said indifferently, “Then do as you please.”
With that said, Wang Xiao directly called Lin Dong and left the base.
Tian Qiang was immediately stunned on the spot. He did not expect a small beast tamer lord like Wang Xiao to actually dare to speak to him with such an attitude!
Previously, being suppressed by Wang Xiao in school had already made the proud Tian Qiang indignant. Now that he was looked down on by Wang Xiao, even in the face of a great enemy, Tian Qiang could not suppress the anger in his heart!
“Wang Xiao… You want me to do as I please? Then don’t regret it!”
Tian Qiang looked at Wang Xiao’s back and muttered coldly. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his narrowed eyes. Then, he left the base from another direction and disappeared into the vast desert.
Outside the base, the confused Lin Dong climbed over a few sand dunes before reacting and looking at Wang Xiao. “What are you thinking? We need strength now. Tian Qiang is a level 9 lord of the magic network, and you’re letting him go just like that?”
When Wang Xiao heard this, he replied indifferently, “You also know that there’s a huge enemy in front of us now. It’s also a scourge to keep people with dissent.”
“But…”
Just as Lin Dong was about to speak, his nose suddenly twitched as if he had smelled something. He turned his head to look in the direction of the smell, and his face immediately revealed dense shock!
