Su Ping frowned. “The base cities are scattered around the world. How can they form one defense alliance? Are you saying that people would have to abandon some base cities and relocate elsewhere?”

“Most likely.”

Qin Duhuang heaved a sigh. “Desperate times call for desperate measures. It’s impossible to take care of all the base cities so we have to give up some. Some remotely located Class C and Class B base cities will have to merge with the other base cities.”

“What about Longjiang?” “I don’t know. We haven’t seen the list yet, but I don’t think we would be relocating.”

Qin Duhuang smiled at Su Ping and continued, “You’re here and besides, I’m also here. I’m at the legendary rank after all. Our base city is not any weaker than the Class A base cities. We may be even better!”

“I heard that no Class A base cities were going to relocate. So, I don’t think we would need to move.”

The ones who came with Su Ping heard the entire conversation and were dumbstruck.

Another... legendary battle pet warrior?

se

There was another important matter; it seemed that the legendary battle pet warrior was implying that Su Ping was even more powerful!

For a moment, many started to understand why their families had gathered them up...

It had been quite the meaningful move.

“That’s good.”

Su Ping nodded.

That’s how it always was. The weak had to drift along

It wasn’t the usual relocation.

The relocated would have to give up their families.

They would have to find new homes in other base cities, while the locals would forever see them as refugees, the “outsiders.”

Since the beginning of human history, whatever the situation was like, humans would find a sense of superiority by comparing with those around them. That was pure human nature.

“Apart from merging settlements, the base cities will select some powerful warriors who would go to the battlefront and beat back the wild beasts,” Qin Duhuang added, “Three defense lines will be set up, led by seven Class A base cities in our Subcontinent District. I’ve been studying the maps all day long. I believe that the Longjiang Base City will be a part of the Xing-Jing Defense Line, with Douxing and Longjing acting as strongholds.” “There will be twelve base cities in the Xing-Jing Defense Line, and the defensive line will be in a curve. We rely on the difficult terrains by the Dragon Spine Forest and the North Pass Mountain to avoid large-scale assaults.

“After all, we would be at a disadvantage in a fast assault.”

Su Ping nodded. “When will the defense line be set up?”

Qin Duhuang shook his head. “They’re still talking about it. After all, all the base cities in the Subcontinent District are involved. There are complicated interests. We’re not getting any updates right now.”

Su Ping nodded.

Indeed. That was not a complicated relocation.

He saw it as a war between two different races. Some saw it as a chance for development.

Opportunities could arise in turbulent times. Some might find the matter ridiculous; the fact that some people would try to find chances to get rich during a critical time for humans but... it was a fact.

“Let’s wait.”

Su Ping was not in any rush. He had not found out all facts about the Deep Caves yet. Defense lines or not, he needed to be more powerful.

He would rather take the time to cultivate. If he could make further progress and reach the legendary rank, he would undoubtedly become more powerful; he would have more confidence in dealing with the Deep Caves. “Has the Holy Light Base City suffered a great loss?”

Qin Duhuang was still interested in that group of people sitting on the Inferno Dragon’s back.

He wondered if he was wrong. He had seen that those people were young but at high ranks. They were even better than graduates from famous academies.

Was Su Ping supporting the Holy Light Base City or ransacking the Holy Light Base City?

“It was okay. Not much of a casualty..”

“I knew it.”

Qin Duhuang produced a forced smile.

“See you around.”

Su Ping said goodbye to Qin Duhuang and went back to his store.

Su Ping’s Inferno Dragon had become famous in Longjiang. Even though the base city was on alert and warriors were making the rounds, no one made a move to stop Su Ping.

“This is my store and my home. Your families have asked me to bring you here, but I don’t have time to take care of all of you. You can go ahead and find a place to live in the city by yourselves. You can go back to your base city after the beast strike ends.”

The young people looked at each other, speechless. One dainty girl said gingerly, “Sir, my father told me to follow you and listen to your orders. I...”

“So, listen to me. Do what you want to do. But remember this: Do not make trouble and do not bully others. And another thing, don’t come and bother me for useless matters.”

The young ones realized that Su Ping was not easygoing They didn’t insist on staying, but some of them began to think of something else.

If they couldn’t butter Su Ping up directly, they could always find other ways...

It would be silly to not butter up a legendary battle pet warrior.

Soon after Su Ping entered the store, Su Lingyue, Zhong Lingtong and Tang Ruyan had hurried over. They had sensed the dragon’s presence and knew that Su Ping had returned.

“Ping.”

Su Lingyue greeted her big brother.

She would have never acknowledged her loser big brother; she wouldn’t have ever greeted him proactively. But that day, she was even a little bit shy.

Su Ping did not spend time on small talk. “Don’t go out. Stay inside the store unless going out is absolutely necessary. Don’t be overly pretentious thinking you can do anything just because you think you’re a jack-of-all-trades.” Tang Ruyan rolled her eyes. “You gave me a beast king. I am a Fate Challenger, you know?”

“Me too, me too.” Su Lingyue raised her hands.

Su Ping rolled his eyes at her. “Even a pig could become a Fate Challenger with the battle pets I gave you. Stay in the store and cultivate.”
