Yang Xiao and Xingyun Piaoxue arrived at Karachi City.
Yang Xiao noticed that the defense of Karachi City had significantly strengthened, with all the Defense Light Screens at the city entrance activated, and the number of guards on duty was twice as normal.
Entering the city required strict inspection, and only those who presented the Great Dragon Empire's identity card could enter the city, whereas previously, as long as a leader held the Great Dragon Empire's identity, they could bring several miners without identity cards into the city, which is no longer allowed.
Jino issued dozens of temporary identity cards to Wildman City, allowing the holders to enter Karachi City, and Ah Rui, who usually piloted the spaceship to Karachi City to purchase goods, used these temporary identity cards.
Inside the city, there were also guard squads patrolling everywhere, and the streets remained as bustling as usual, but with noticeably more cautiousness in the air.
The two entered Jino's residence.
"Young Master Yang, welco!"
Jino greeted them warmly as always.
"Lord Jino, hello!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they sat down, and a servant imdiately brought them tea.
Yang Xiao took a gentle sip, looked at Jino, and straightforwardly said:
"Lord Jino invited here concerning the alliance between the Snow Leopard Empire and the Youming Empire?"
Jino nodded,
"Young Master Yang, you are truly perceptive, one ntion and you understand."
"How can I assist you?"
"I would like to hear your opinion on this matter, Young Master Yang."
"It's simple, Purple Origin Star will soon beco the second battlefield. Considering the Snow Leopard Empire and the Youming Empire have joined forces on Witch Star, there's no reason they wouldn't ally against the Great Dragon Empire on Purple Origin Star,
which is a resource base, and war is all about logistics and resources. Without crystal stone resources, how can there be war?"
Jino's expression turned solemn, nodding, "Exactly, my analysis aligns with yours, only when will the other side join forces to attack us? How can I resist them?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the Youming Empire and the Snow Leopard Empire are waiting for reinforcents from Witch Star and planning their action strategies,
Even if they joined forces to contend with you right now, even winning against you would co at a terrible cost,
I guess they are likely to wait, but how long they'll wait, I don't know. Maybe their reinforcents from Witch Star could arrive as early as tomorrow."
Compared to Jino's restless mood, Yang Xiao's mood was much better.
A while ago, Jino was guarded against Yang Xiao. Now, facing external pressure, Jino naturally wasn't inclined to guard against Yang Xiao.
At this point, he needed Yang Xiao's help, after all, Wildman City's current population of over 20,000 was a force to be reckoned with.
"Young Master Yang, what should we do then? We can't just sit at ho waiting for them to co knocking?"
"Lord Jino, are you also waiting for reinforcents?"
Yang Xiao smiled.
"Of course, without reinforcents, how can we alone contend against the joint forces of the two empires?"
Jino deliberately used the word "we," binding Yang Xiao and him together.
"Witch Star can't, and even if they could send reinforcents, they'd be trivial."
"Why is that?"
Jino was shocked. Now facing the pressure from the Youming Empire and the Snow Leopard Empire, he felt he couldn't withstand it. His only hope was the Great Dragon Empire quickly sending a reinforcents army from Witch Star to help him.
If the Great Dragon Empire didn't send reinforcents, he would be in despair.
Yang Xiao sighed and said,
"The Great Dragon Empire is under joint attack by the Snow Leopard Empire and the Youming Empire on Witch Star. Do you think they have extra troops to support you?
Is the ho base more important, or is the Purple Origin Star's ore base more important?"
"Buzz!"
Jino's head buzzed. Although he vaguely had this thought in his heart, he was unwilling to admit it. He always hoped the Great Dragon Empire would send reinforcents to give him so hope.
Now that Yang Xiao had directly negated this, whatever little hope he had was directly extinguished.
Jino felt a sweat bead on his forehead, his heartbeat accelerated, and he was quite nervous.
"Yang, Yang brother, you, you must help , if Karachi City falls, your Wildman Valley will also be conquered by them, and the entire Purple Origin Star will fall into their hands."
Jino looked at Yang Xiao.
He wasn't a fool. At this mont, he naturally wanted to pull Yang Xiao into this, tying their fates together.
Yang Xiao smiled faintly, saying,
"Lord Jino, you got it wrong. Actually, we are different. I have two paths to choose from, whereas you only have one."
"Hmm?"
Jino looked at Yang Xiao, confused.
"It's simple, you represent the Great Dragon Empire's interests on Purple Origin Star, and as the Supre Commander here, facing the joint forces of the two empires, your only path is to fight to the end, which can be called your final path,
but I'm different,"
Jino's body shuddered, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"I can choose to fight alongside you,
but I can also choose to remain neutral, or even defect to the Youming Empire. There's no necessity for to fight to the death with you,
besides, even if I were to surrender, the Great Dragon Empire couldn't do anything to ,
but it's different for you; your family's and entire family's interests are on Witch Star,
If you were to surrender, I estimate the empire wouldn't spare your family,
right?"
Jino looked at Yang Xiao, his emotions fluctuating, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his mind, coldly said:
"So, is Young Master Yang planning to defect to the Youming Empire?"
Yang Xiao laughed heartily and said,
"If I were choosing to defect to the Youming Empire, I wouldn't have co to see you. After all, you have helped a lot, and without your support, I wouldn't be where I am today. I'm a person who knows gratitude, you can rest assured of that."
Xingyun Piaoxue, who was beside him, was also nervous, hastily said,
"Brother Yang, what did you an by what you said just now?"
"Everything I said wasn't wrong, wasn't it?"
Xingyun Piaoxue paused and nodded.
"I'm always open and aboveboard, saying this to tell you that I'm willing to risk my life to repay Lord Jino's past kindness to ,
but don't consider it as natural for to stand with you against the Youming Empire, nor see as having no way out,
once this matter is done, we'll be even in terms of kindness, and I have one condition."
Yang Xiao saying up to this point, Jino also well understood Yang Xiao's aning: Yang Xiao will help him, but don't expect him to foolishly rush to the front and die.
If Yang Xiao could lead Wildman City to stand on his side, it would be the biggest support for Jino.
"Brother Yang, whatever condition you have, speak it. As long as I can achieve it, I will."
"Simple, this ti I'll do my best to help you against the Youming Empire and the Snow Leopard Empire, and I'm confident we won't lose too badly."
"Really?"
Suddenly, an unexpected joy erged within Jino. Having personally witnessed Yang Xiao creating the miracle of Wildman Valley, he believed in Yang Xiao's extraordinary abilities.
Yang Xiao smiled and said,
"Wildman City now has between 20,000 to 30,000 people, which constitutes a considerable force. Moreover, I also control over ten thousand demon beasts in the Primitive Forest at Wildman City, a force far scarier than even the wildn."
"Ah!"
Jino exclaid in shock.
He had only occasionally heard about Yang Xiao taming so beasts, but hadn't imagined the capability to command over ten thousand demon beasts in the forest, an utterly terrifying force.
"Last ti, it was my demon beast army that killed rcenary Army Tang Qian."
Yang Xiao further took out the example of commanding a demon beast army, having already brought it up, to simply awe Jino, preventing any presumptuous ideas in him for the future.
"Of course, that demon beast army will only remain hidden at Wildman Valley, guarding its safety, it'll not be dispatched to help protect Karachi City,
If anyone dares attack Wildman Valley, I will ensure their utter ruin!"
Yang Xiao gritted his teeth while saying the final sentence.
Both Jino and Xingyun Piaoxue felt a chill in their hearts.
