Kong Fanyu's decapitated head heralded the true beginning of the war. After all, this majestic fortress that had been erected in a short period of time was not a military fortress. Although it looked majestic, its internal defenses were not in place.
With the death of the leader, the base collapsed like a landslide. The Leap Army seized control of the base in an instant.
Before dawn, the Crimson Moon Army retreated quietly. Their goal was to eliminate the enemies in the Kong Family's base. They did not need to occupy this fortress. Therefore, they immediately blew the horn and returned to the military transport trucks.
One airship after another rose into the air like dazzling meteors, ejecting countless white pillars of air as they withdrew from the airspace above the non-continent.
A few hours later, the first ray of light shone down on the Kong Family's base. Even more dazzling was the flickering flames that lit up the dim sky.
A few military pickup trucks sped over from the other side of the mountain road. Before they even got close to the base, they were shocked by the soaring flames.
The soldiers in the vehicles immediately dialed the Kong Family's base number, but no one answered.
The command room's phone, the adjutant's personal communication device, and even Kong Fanyu's personal communication device did not respond.
Realizing that something big might have happened, the soldiers carrying the supplies called back home.
By the time Kong Mu led a large group of soldiers to the base, the huge secret base had long been reduced to ruins and embers that had not yet burned out.
This was one of the Kong Family's most important military bases. It controlled the development of many weapons and equipment. It was also the territory that he fought hard to get for his son.
But in just one night, it was actually uprooted by someone.
Kong Mu clenched his fists. The pride he had in front of Owl a few days ago disappeared without a trace. Who was it? Who was so bold!
"Have you found anything?" Kong Mu asked the adjutant beside him expressionlessly. "Are there any survivors in the base?"
"General, we are doing our best to search through the military's resources. We will have results within a day. No matter who it is, they can't hide it. As for the survivors … "The adjutant sighed." General, please restrain your grief. "
Bang!
Kong Mu crushed the origin gun in his hand.
Could it be that Owl wanted to break his arm even if it meant death?
Impossible.
Yu Zhitong's matter had not been resolved yet. How could he turn against the general? Although the girl would be used to deal with General Othello in the future, at least she would not act now.
Who was it?
No matter how Kong Mu thought about it, he couldn't figure out who would target the Kong Family at this juncture. They had paid a huge price to break away from the control of the Bai Clan, and had joined the Ji Clan. So, they wouldn't have chosen to make an example out of the Kong Clan when two King Level Experts were fighting.
Kong Mu's desolate figure stood alone in the cold wind.
.....
City 0127, Hou City, Nidri Building.
As the ruler of the city on the surface, Dale's sudden decision to build a landmark that symbolized the Nidri family in the city had shocked many people at the time.
The entire 0127 city had many well-known affiliated cities. The most famous one was Hangzhou, where Wang Haisheng was originally from. However, she placed the landmark building in Hou City.
That was Li Xiang's hometown.
Many people thought that Dale was provoking Li Xiang. After all, everyone knew about the conflict between Owl and Li Xiang. Even though Dale and Owl had separated, her two sons had indeed died at the hands of Li Xiang.
However, the truth was the complete opposite of what everyone had expected.
The reception room of the building was luxuriously decorated, like a mini palace.
Just like Night Shadow and Andrea, Dale also liked to live a luxurious life. She had been pampered since she was a child and cared more about this than the other two. She spent a lot of money to build this super building, which instantly became the most famous entertainment venue in all the numbered cities around.
Countless nobles lived a drunken life here, enjoying themselves every night. It was a sharp contrast to the commoners below.
Two beautiful girls who looked exactly the same were by Li Xiang's side, constantly pouring wine and massaging him, trying their best to please him.
Dale raised a glass of red wine and slightly moved it to him. "To our hearty victory."
"Cheers." Li Xiang didn't need to lift a finger to have a glass of wine delivered to his mouth. This was Dale's private collection of good wine, and since it was rare for him to enjoy it, he didn't refuse. He let his tense body relax.
Looking at the twins, he couldn't help but think of Alice and Elena who were training with Maria. The former was still studying at the university, while the latter had been working in Maria's lab. With Duke Silo's daughter Cecilia about to be officially born, Maria's lab would also become a member of Cecilia's mechanical church.
The two girls couldn't hold their liquor very well. After just a few glasses, their faces were flushed. It was unknown whether they did it on purpose or not.
They pressed their bodies against Li Xiang's body and rested on his lap. For the first time, Li Xiang didn't push them away.
"You seem to have something on your mind." Dale tasted the wine and looked at him with a smile. "Are you worried about Kong Mu's revenge?"
"It's only a matter of time before he finds out about me. It's just a military base. He won't go so far as to kill me." Li Xiang shook his head, looking troubled.
"Are you so sure? He lost his only son. "Dale looked at him with interest.
"If his son died, he could just have another one. At his position, would he care about family ties? Even if he did, it would be very faint. Today, I suddenly thought of something. "
"Tell me." Dale was even more interested now.
"It's about power." Li Xiang paused and looked at the two girls who were pretending to be asleep on his lap. He smiled faintly. "Power is a good thing. Men, women, old, and young all crave it. With it, you can do many things that others don't even dare to think about. For example, no matter what I do to these two girls, they won't resist, and you won't say anything either. "
The twins trembled slightly, and their blushing cheeks turned even redder.
"They're still young. They probably just joined the military, right? You see, without me and without tonight, they might have gotten married and had children with their sweetheart. They might have a normal but happy life. But because of power, you made me let them meet here. "
"People without power may live a normal life, but they don't have to worry about this and that all the time," Li Xiang added. "Power is both good wine and poison, but it's a good thing."
"Of course." Dale, who was well versed in this, nodded in agreement. This was the most basic principle, and it definitely wasn't the core of Li Xiang's words.
"That's why Kong Mu won't go crazy with me. He'll secretly hide his fangs and even smile when he sees me. But in our hearts, we know that the two sides are already at war. In order to get more power, he has to do this. "
"Yes, if he wants to take revenge on you, he'll definitely provoke the current conflict between the Ji and Bai families. This isn't something that a mere major general like him can bear."
The two little beauties lying on his legs trembled more and more. Under Li Xiang's guidance, the topic became more and more taboo. They didn't dare to listen anymore, but they also didn't dare to get up and leave. They could only pretend to be asleep.
He gently patted their heads and continued, "Lord Polar night, whether it's in the tarot cards, the border, the Polar night organization, or Lighthouse, has always maintained his identity as a preacher and guardian. He could have had supreme power with the Night King and be on par with the Five Thrones, or even join the Katashafi Committee. But they didn't do so. In the end, Lord Polar night burned everything for the sake of humanity, but there wasn't even a monument left. Lord Night King continued to silently guard our Disaster Great Wall.
"After I learned of the existence of the Disaster Great Wall, I've always admired the group of Night Watchers who are willing to guard the Disaster Great Wall for the rest of their lives, not those high and mighty Level-9 players."
Dale swirled her wine glass and quietly listened to him finish.
"Is it better to be a person with power or a person without power?" Li Xiang sighed. "It's because we have enough power that we can do what we did tonight without any punishment. But it's also because of this power in our hands that we might one day be beyond redemption."
"It's rare that you can think about these things. I thought you were a guy who only knew how to cultivate." Dale laughed out loud. "Tell me. Since you're talking to me about this, you must have an answer, right? I'm very curious about your answer. "
"I'll use my power to finish these things, and then together with Ming Xu …" Li Xiang decisively stopped talking. "Forget it. Before I finish, I'll keep you in suspense."
"You've drunk the wine, and you're drunk. It's time for you to show your trump card." Li Xiang put the wine glass on the table.
"I really can't hide anything from you." Dale was speechless and clapped her hands.
A young girl dressed in black walked in from outside the door.
She looked completely different from when she was young. Back then, she was just a follower. Now, she had grown into an extraordinary beauty. Her eyes were gloomy and filled with murderous intent.
She stared at Li Xiang, not relaxing in the slightest.
"At first, I only made an exception and accepted Poyers because of her talent. Later, she gave me more and more surprises, especially when I searched her room. The entire wall was filled with information about you. There was also information about you on the bookcase, the table … Everything that could be stored was filled with information about you. At that time, I decided that I had to hand the Nidri family over to her."
"That way, even if I can't defeat you, at least I can ensure that the family continues to pass on," Dale said truthfully. "I don't want to see my family swallowed up by the Crimson Moon when I die."
She was indeed worried about this problem.
No matter how cynical she was, Dale still knew that everything she had now was given to her by her family. She knew how to repay kindness. At the very least, she couldn't let her family be eaten up like some other aristocratic families.
Now, the girl named Poyers looked at the two of them quietly, not saying a word.
That day, Dale barged into her room and saw all her secrets. She couldn't resist because she didn't have enough power and authority.
When she heard Li Xiang's words outside, she deeply believed it.
For power and authority, she could give up everything, just like that woman who left the human camp!
"If I told you that with her personality, if you hand the Nidri family over to her, she would definitely destroy it and build her own family, would you believe me?" Li Xiang looked at Yu Zhitong and chuckled.
No one knew this girl better than he did.
In his previous life, she had grown to the point where she could threaten Fei Yujing, which showed how terrifying her ambition was.
"I believe you, but after I die, I don't care." Dale shrugged indifferently. "At least she won't be as ruthless as you to my family."
This was the truth.
If Li Xiang merged with the Nidri family, he would definitely not leave a single spark behind. However, Yu Zhitong was different. She already had the family name and identity, so there was no need to kill them all.
If he really handed the family over to her, he might even have a group of die-hard supporters.
"My daughter will follow you for the next few days and help you kill Owl," Dale added. "During this time, I won't ask about the grudge between you and Owl."
"Understood. This is our private matter, so it's normal that you don't want to get involved. But do you feel assured leaving her by my side?" Li Xiang looked at Yu Zhitong, who responded with a fierce gaze. "She attacked Ye Tong before. If I want to kill her now, it'll be as easy as flipping my hand."
"You won't. Because I'm a woman, I know that the more you love a man, the more you'll hate him. But in the end, no matter how much you hate a man, you'll still be reluctant to let him go, and it will turn into a more passionate love. "Dale shook her beautiful legs, as if she was talking about Yu Zhitong, but also as if she was talking about herself.
"She likes you very, very much. She just can't accept the fact that you abandoned her and left. But she'll never be your enemy." After saying this, Dale got up. "Okay, I'll leave the two little beauties from the military to you tonight. If you don't take them away, I'll kill them!"
The two little beauties trembled violently and no longer dared to pretend to be asleep. They looked at Li Xiang for help.
Li Xiang, on the other hand, fell into deep thought and suddenly understood.
So this was the answer!
No wonder it was like this in his previous life. Until his death, he still didn't understand why Yu Zhitong, who had become a wealthy family, was still willing to sleep with a terrorist like him. She was willing to give up everything for him, even going to war with Fei Yujing.
It turned out that her monstrous hatred had turned into passionate love.
That love was enough to make her burn herself.
Yu Zhitong, who was heartlessly exposed by Dale, was still expressionless.
"Zhitong, have a drink with me." Li Xiang raised his glass of red wine. He could vaguely see the light of a little girl from the past in the girl's eyes.
Yu Zhitong sat beside him, brushed her hair behind her ear, and said in a low voice, "My name is Boyeuse Nidley."
"I didn't take you with me at that time. I'm sorry." Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, then said calmly.
Yu Zhitong's hand that was holding the wine glass instantly turned cold. This wasn't the answer she wanted. Of course, she also knew that there was a follow-up.
An answer that she had been waiting for for a long time.
"After you left, I set the entire orphanage on fire," she replied coldly.
"At that time, I …"
