Chapter 438: My Foolish Brother!
Chapter 438: My Foolish Brother!
(Note: I have changed Prince Hui Pu to Prince Hewlett, it felt odd while reading.)
As the Red Alert Base gathered the surrounding people on a large scale, some had already taken notice of this sudden emergence of the Base.
Somewhere over a thousand kilometers away from the Red Alert Base, there was a city and another Base located there.
The city was named Honglei City, and the Base was named Feiniao (Lit. Flying Bird).
Feiniao Baseit would definitely surprise anyone from Yan Yun Star who knew of its existence. After all, it was a powerful Base ranked 9th on the Yan Yun Star Base leaderboard!
Yan Yun Star had many Bases, but only a hundred of them could make it onto the leaderboard, each one attracting the attention of countless people.
At this moment, the Commander of Feiniao Base was reviewing various reports from his subordinates, most of which were about the Ghost Clan. He didn't even need to read them to know that it was about the Ghost Clan raiding some villages, something he didn't care about.
With so many people in Yan Yun Star, the death of a portion of them was insignificant.
But there was one piece of news that piqued his interest. The report mentioned a new Base that had appeared more than a thousand kilometers to the west of their Base. This Base was named Red Alert Base, and they were gathering the local wanderers, seemingly aiming to build a new city.
"Red Alert Base? It doesn't seem to be one of the ranked Bases on the leaderboard. It hasn't even made it onto the list. Who gave them the audacity to gather wanderers?" The Commander of Feiniao Base's mouth curled into a slight disdainful smile.
In his eyes, only Bases that ranked on the leaderboard were worthy of his attention. Bases that didn't make it onto the leaderboard were all trash!
Apart from the name of the Red Alert Base, the report also mentioned one thing: Red Alert Base seemed to declare its support for a Prince's restoration and had established a Restoration Army, looking poised to attack the Ghost Clan.
Seeing this, the Commander of Feiniao Base laughed heartily. "Hahaha, is the Commander of this Red Alert Base a fool? He's actually declaring support for a Prince's restoration. Doesn't he know that the Ghost Clan likes to capture Princes and offer them to their gods?"
The Commander of Feiniao Base outright believed that the Commander of the other Base was a fool. Even he wouldn't dare openly support a Prince for restoration. That would attract a devastating blow from the Ghost Clan!
"Why should I be the only one who knows about this interesting news?" A sly smile appeared on the Commander's face.
After some time, the news quickly spread.
It seemed that the Ghost Clan had some way to shield long-range message transmission, making it so that his message couldn't instantly reach every corner of Yan Yun Star. It could only reach places within a radius of no more than five thousand kilometers.
Even so, for the Commander of Feiniao Base, it was enough.
He just wanted to see how other Base Commanders would react, especially those with hidden Princes.
"Commander, there's a message from Feiniao Base."
At a Base over four thousand kilometers away, another one of the top-ranked hundred Bases, a place that had survived until now, the majority of which were those top-ranked Basesthose that were weak had long disappeared.
The Commander of this Base was a burly man with a full beard. Don't let his appearance fool you; his scheming mind was more active than anyone else's, or he wouldn't have become a Base Commander.
"Speak."
"The message says that a Base named Red Alert has officially declared support for Hewlett Prince's restoration and has established a Restoration Army. Furthermore, this Base seems to be gathering the local wanderers to build a new city."
The burly Commander blinked his eyes, thinking he must have misheard. There was actually a ridiculous Base supporting a Prince's restoration?
You see, even he would only dare to secretly assist a Prince. Openly supporting one was simply suicidal.
The Ghost Clan didn't reason with you. If they found out a Base was openly supporting a Prince's restoration, they would undoubtedly come knocking.
"Summon Prince Raz."
Soon, a man who looked quite dapper was brought over. He was indeed a Prince from Yan Yun Star.
"I wonder why the Commander summoned me. Is there something good?" Prince Raz's lips curled into a smile as he looked at the burly Commander.
"Prince Raz, this is the news I just received." Saying that, the burly man had his subordinate pass the message to Prince Raz.
After reading it, Prince Raz's smile vanished from his face. "Can you tell me the name of this Prince?"
Prince Raz almost burst into laughter. He didn't care if this Prince was his younger brother or older brother; either way, this behavior was absolutely foolish.
To publicly announce one's identitywhat's the difference between that and seeking death?
Even he himself would only dare to attach himself secretly to the name of this Base. He wouldn't dare tell anyone else that he was a Prince.
As a Prince, who wouldn't fear being captured by the Ghost Clan and offered as a sacrifice to their gods?
Now there was this absurd Prince exposing himself. For Prince Raz, this was a good thing. At least he could divert the Ghost Clan's attention away.
At this moment, another subordinate came over and said, "Commander, it's been confirmed. The Prince's name is Hewlett."
"Pfft hahaha!"
Upon hearing this name, Prince Raz burst into laughter, and his laughter grew louder.
"My foolish brother, I never thought that the idiotic Prince would actually be you. If it's you, then there's nothing surprising about it. Hahaha!" Prince Raz laughed until his abs hurt.
"Prince Raz, do you know Prince Hewlett?" The Commander asked curiously.
"Of course, I'm quite familiar with Hewlett. Back when we were at the palace, Hewlett was a complete buffoon who loved to boast all day long. He had no skills whatsoevera complete waste!" Prince Raz's face was full of disdain as he spoke about Hewlett.
The Commander didn't understand. Why would a waste of a Prince like that have a Base supporting him? Could it be that the Commander of that Base was also a fool?
Meanwhile, at Red Alert Base, Su Chen sneezed several times. He rubbed his nose and said, "I have this strange feeling that someone is praising my handsomeness from behind. Yun Ru, is it you?"
Yun Ru rolled her eyes at him. "Commander, please don't talk nonsense in broad daylight."
"Alright, let's discuss the current situation."
Soon, all the Super Soldiers, along with Alice, gathered there. Su Chen waved his hand, and a virtual interface appeared in front of the two of them, displayed as a holographic image.
"This is the situation around us. The smaller Black Spots have been completely cleared, but here..." Su Chen pointed to a spot. This region had a larger Black Zone, covering an area of at least fifty kilometers in diameter.
"A large number of Ghost Clan have gathered in this Black Spot. The Red Alert team that explored this area managed to break out at the cost of heavy losses. Because of them, we were able to see some of the situation inside. This area seems to be a small Ghost Clan tribe, very likely a territory rewarded for contributions during a war."
