"Lord George, what do you mean by that? Are you threatening me?" Rukchi was no fool and naturally understood the other's intentions.
"Lord Rukchi, you're overreacting. I'm just helping you see the situation clearly." George shrugged his shoulders.
"You..." Rukchi furrowed his brows.
"Both of you, stop bickering for now," the woman said, also furrowing her brows before turning to Rukchi. "Lord Rukchi, what Lord George said just now does make some sense. At this point, it's too late to adjust our plans. Moreover, you are being overly pessimistic. Even if King of the West is powerful, he's only a half-step War God-Emperor in cultivation. And here we have twenty War God-Emperors, including two mid-stage War God-Emperor experts. Killing a half-step War God-Emperor like him should be a piece of cake, with no room for unexpected events."
"That's right, Lord Rukchi, don't be so paranoid. Just relax and wait for him to arrive!" another man chimed in.
Rukchi exhaled deeply. He was well aware that he was in a tricky situation and couldn't back down now. The arrow was on the string and he had no choice but to release it. If he canceled the plan and had the representatives of the other seven nations leave, his only way out would be to negotiate compensation with Glavale. There were no other options. So, instead of doing that, he decided to take a gamble, and besides, there was a good chance of success, at least a seventy to eighty percent chance. Then, he turned to the messenger who had delivered the message earlier and said, "Go and bring Glavale's General Wilson here."
"Understood!" the man replied loudly.
"In addition, notify everyone at the base to evacuate to a distance of ten kilometers, except for those in the War Grandmaster level and above." Rukchi continued.
The actual strength of King of the West far exceeded his estimation, and leaving ordinary soldiers at the base was equivalent to sending them to their deaths.
"Affirmative!" the man responded again before quickly leaving.
"That's more like it!" George smirked slightly.
"Alright, everyone, take your positions. He should be arriving soon!" Rukchi scanned George coldly and then addressed the group.
"Got it!" the others responded, and each of them started making their preparations.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.
Boom!
A loud explosion rang out, and the two large doors at the base entrance instantly burst open. Following that, Billy and a few others walked in steadily.
"Boss, something doesn't seem right," Stout said as they took a few steps into the base. "Why is a military base so deserted?"
"It does seem suspicious," Casey said after using his psychic power to probe the surroundings. His tone was slightly grave. "Boss, there's something unusual inside this base."
On the side, Azure Dragon's face also wore a look of seriousness, as he had sensed the presence of many formidable individuals.
"Mmm," Billy nodded slightly and instructed, "The three of you, be cautious. If anything seems amiss, withdraw immediately."
