The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Although Lu Yuan spoke bluntly, everyone knew that for their own benefit, they had to keep this beast tide out of the Northern Wilderness no matter what!

The problem now is how to persuade the forces behind them.

Even if Lu Yuan's words were baseless and without any evidence, it would be difficult to make the major powers pay such a high price for the Northern Wilderness, even if it were an undeniable fact.

"Let's all figure out our own solutions. Also, if anyone needs help, let's help each other out. After all, this is our own business."

Meng Xuanwu spoke again, his tone solemn.

Everyone nodded. That's right. No matter what grudges they had before, they were all on the same boat in the Northern Wilderness now. If the boat capsized, they would all be finished.

There was no need to say anything more, and everyone went their separate ways.

Lu Yuan glanced at the seven people, but his expression remained serious.

Whether they can persuade the forces behind them, and how much the seven major martial arts groups are willing to pay to protect the Northern Wilderness, are all still unknowns.

Lu Yuan frowned and immediately rushed back to the base.

"How is it?"

"They are willing to go back and try, but whether they will succeed is still hard to say."

"Um."

Xia Banzhu nodded, then frowned and said.

"The city lord's mansion has replied, saying they will send a grandmaster-level expert over as soon as possible to verify the authenticity of the information we provided."

"屮."

Lu Yuan immediately swore, "These bastards!"

The situation is extremely urgent. This is not only a matter of life and death for the Northern Wilderness, but may even endanger the safety of hundreds of millions of people in Chongming Base City.

They actually said they needed to verify it first?

Well, this matter is indeed very big, and the situation in Dongzhen is dire. It's impossible for the City Lord's Mansion to mobilize a large number of troops immediately based on just one sentence from Lu Yuan.

But it should be verified immediately, instead of saying "as soon as possible"!

"We can't just sit here and wait."

"I have already found a way to contact the military directly."

Xia Banzhu nodded and continued.

"The military is responsible for protection, so if something goes wrong, they will bear greater responsibility, and I think they will take it more seriously. Moreover, even if the city lord's mansion has verified the results, they still need to inform the military so that they can deploy troops."

"You did a great job."

Lu Yuan nodded, looking at Xia Banzhu, and couldn't help but feel gratified.

It has to be said that Xia Banzhu really helped him a lot.

Moreover, the two became increasingly in sync, and Xia Banzhu would do things according to his wishes without him having to say anything.

"We must also further strengthen our military capabilities at our base."

Looking into the depths of the northern wilderness, where dark clouds gathered, Lu Yuan spoke again in a deep voice.

We can't place all our hopes on others, otherwise even if we manage to defend the Northern Wilderness in the end, our base will likely become a casualty.

To forge iron, one must be strong oneself; only by being strong enough can one cope with all kinds of storms.

But the problem now is how to improve one's combat strength.

In fact, the development of the North Kan base has been extremely rapid. With the intensive use of various drugs, the strength of Lu Yuan's subordinates has also increased rapidly, like a rocket.

"Take out all the medicines and let them eat them like food. In short, improve them as much as possible."

"Yes, they've already been distributed."

Xia Banzhu nodded, and then continued.

"In addition, I have contacted the base city and asked them to purchase equipment at any cost."

"very good."

Lu Yuan nodded, then pondered for a moment.

Besides one's own martial prowess, equipment is indeed very important, and compared to cultivation level, improving strength through equipment is faster and more direct.

He's now thinking about what else he can do besides personal weaponry and equipment.

For example, the Eight Trigrams Formation.

The Eight Trigrams Formation at the North Kan base is the final version, and its performance in all aspects has reached its limit, making further improvements impossible.

Lu Yuan is now thinking about whether he can make a few more sets and set them up in other places as defensive fortresses to share the firepower of the beast tide.

"no."

But then, Lu Yuan shook his head.

The base of the Eight Trigrams Formation is complex to forge, and even the basic version is difficult to complete in a short period of time.

Based on the speed at which the beast tide moves, it's unlikely they'll be able to catch up.

Furthermore, he has been expelled from the Starry Sky Guild. Although he still maintains a personal relationship with Lu Diaolong, he can no longer recklessly help him forge equipment as before.

In particular, given that he is currently at odds with the Starry Sky Club, it is even more inconvenient for Lu Diaolong.

As for finding other helpers, they are not familiar with the Eight Trigrams Formation base refining, their skills may not be as good as Lu Diaolong's, and they will not be able to meet the time requirements.

After much deliberation, the idea of ​​refining several more sets of the Eight Trigrams Formation had to be abandoned.

Since that's the case, we can only start with other equipment.

"Old Xia, the Extreme Martial Arts Academy is here again... Young Master, you're here too."

Lei Tieming pushed the door open as he spoke, and was taken aback when he saw Lu Yuan standing there.

When did Lu Yuan come back?

"What happened to the Yakuza Martial Arts Academy you mentioned earlier?"

"Oh, right."

Lei Tieming snapped out of his daze and said with an annoyed expression.

"We haven't made any moves these past two days, and those guys think we're afraid of them. They've gathered a few thugs and are cursing us outside the base, calling us cowards and stuff."

Xia Banzhu's face darkened. What time was it? The Extreme Martial Arts School was still shouting and cursing at them.

Another helpless sigh. The greatest flaw of humankind is its lack of unity!

Otherwise, the base city would have been overrun with wilderness long ago.

"Young master, it's good that you're here too. I came to say that we should send a small team out to take over two more strongholds and teach them a lesson."

"They're shouting and cursing outside, just waiting for us to come out. Old Lei, can't you even see that?"

Lu Yuan's face darkened, and he reprimanded him sternly once more.

"And wasn't there already a strict order that everyone must remain within the base and not leave?! Are you deaf or just plain stupid and have you forgotten?!"

"I...yes, I understand."

Lei Tieming's face immediately turned pale, and he quickly lowered his head.

He was indeed reckless and hasty.

However, this was the first time I had ever seen Lu Yuan so angry. Could something have happened?

"Go back first and keep everyone in check. No one is allowed to leave the base! Tell them, as I said, anyone who leaves now is no longer a member of the North Kan base!"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, temporarily suppressing his anger, and waved his hand at Lei Tieming.

"Yes."

Lei Tieming nodded and quickly turned to leave.

"They didn't know the situation, so it's not Lao Lei's fault. Besides, the Extreme Martial Arts School really went too far."

Xia Banzhu spoke up, offering a word of defense for Lei Tieming.

"I know, and this matter does indeed need to be addressed."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, and then an idea came to mind.

Then, I spoke with Xia Banzhu.

"When the beast tide arrives, we probably won't be able to care about anything else. Sacrificing pawns to save the king and focusing all our efforts on protecting the base is indeed the best strategy."

Xia Banzhu nodded, agreeing with what Lu Yuan said.

The two agreed that Lu Yuan would not waste any more time and would leave the base again immediately.
