Xuanwu Base now believes that Oasis Base kidnapped He Tingguang because Oasis Base has a history of such abductions, and Li Weidong is still staying at Oasis Base.

That's why the Xuanwu base attacked like a mad dog, relentlessly.

But the problem is...

Fang Qingdai looked at Jing Yi: "The actual people in charge of the Xuanwu Base are Li Weidong and He Tingguang. If that fake base director doesn't have any real power, how did he manage to mobilize the Xuanwu Base's trump cards?"

wrong!

Fang Qingdai paused for a moment after speaking: "It's a lie that others don't know him. Now that the top two leaders are either missing or arrested, he can take the opportunity to seize control of the Xuanwu Base!"

If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Wei's intention is to take Li Weidong away and control him himself; it's not about any consideration for family ties whatsoever.

He worried that if Li Weidong survived well at the Oasis base, he might have a chance to turn things around.

The reason he has been lying low for so long is that he is taking action now because Li Weidong was arrested and he found an opportunity to get rid of He Tingguang. He can return to his position at this time and truly take control of the Xuanwu Base!

Unfortunately, although He Tingguang was taken away, things went wrong when he tried to take Li Weidong with him.

Jing Yi's eyes flickered, and he said, "If what you say is true, the base commander of Xuanwu Base should not have used up all his trump cards to rescue him. After all, too many casualties would not be conducive to his takeover."

The two exchanged a glance, and Fang Qingdai squinted as she analyzed, "So it's very likely that the reinforcements from Xuanwu Base are just going through the motions, for the benefit of the others in the base. They'll soon pretend they've done their best and withdraw."

Jing Yi nodded: "It's also possible that they want to take this opportunity to eliminate some of the forces that the fake base chief can't control."

The two immediately called over the scouts to inquire, and sure enough, they discovered that the enemy's vanguard consisted mainly of the battalion commanders who served under Li Weidong!

This is a scheme to use someone else to do the dirty work and eliminate dissidents!

Fang Qingdai asked Jing Yi, "What do you mean?"

Jing Yi thought for a moment and said, "Although it's easier for us to strike now while the other side is not united, we will inevitably have to find the right moment to use our blade as their weapon. I don't think it's necessary to put our team members at risk."

"Why don't we retreat and let them go back and fight amongst themselves? Once they've cut off their own arm, we can look for an opportunity to strike!"

The advantage of the Oasis base is that the base commander of the Xuanwu base is unaware that his identity has been exposed.

He rarely gets this opportunity, so he certainly won't self-destruct. Although he knows that eliminating dissidents now will weaken the Xuanwu Base's strength, the opportunity is too rare for him to resist.

Therefore, the Oasis Base can wait patiently and observe the changes at the Xuanwu Base, then strike when the enemy is at its weakest point, minimizing unnecessary casualties.

After discussing it, one of them went to mobilize the troops at the Oasis Base to withdraw, while the other went to communicate with the commander of the Azure Dragon Base.

Just as the excitement was reaching its peak at the Xuanwu base, the Oasis base team suddenly retreated like a receding tide.

This left the Xuanwu team members, who were prepared to fight to the death, completely dumbfounded. They wanted to chase after them, but the other side activated a spatial shield, making it impossible for them to even touch the person!

They wanted to push further in, but considering that the Oasis Base and the Azure Dragon Base were clearly evenly matched, yet the Oasis Base suddenly retreated, there was a high possibility that it was a trap.

The Xuanwu troops, still reeling from being outmaneuvered by the Oasis base, hesitated and could only watch helplessly as the enemy retreated in full force.

With the Oasis Base withdrawing, the Vermilion Bird Base, which was holding back the White Tiger Base, naturally also withdrew its troops.

The main purpose of the White Tiger Base is to support the Black Tortoise Base, so it will not pursue the retreating Vermilion Bird Base.

But when the White Tiger Base's forces arrived at the front lines, they found that the war was already over!

"What's going on?" the leader of the White Tiger Base asked Xuan Shiqi.

Xuan Shiqi shrugged: "I didn't understand either. They suddenly left, and we didn't dare to chase after them."

The leaders of the White Tiger Base were furious. They had finally managed to escape, only to find themselves empty-handed again.

"If you back down, you're definitely chickening out. What are you hesitating for? Push forward! Li Weidong is still in their hands!"

Xuan Shiqi's eyes flashed, and he said seriously, "Commander Li is certainly important, but many of my brothers from the Xuanwu Base have already died in the rescue. If the other side has really set up a trap, there will inevitably be even greater casualties."

"I can't abandon my brothers behind me for the sake of Commander Li!"

The leader of the White Tiger Base frowned: "What do you mean? Are you just going to give up on Li Weidong?"

Xuan Shiqi shook his head: "How could that be? Commander Li is very important to our Xuanwu base. We will not give up easily. We are just preparing to withdraw our troops for rest and recuperation before making further plans."

"It's your White Tiger Base that seems quite concerned about the safety of our Commander Li."

The leader of the White Tiger Base lowered his eyes: "It is good that Commander Li and the White Tiger Base have met. We are only doing our best to help out of friendship."

Xuan Shiqi gave a barely perceptible sneer.

In the wasteland, all the previous betrayals were just empty promises of friendship.

Especially since these words came from the most fickle White Tiger Base, their credibility is even lower than the lowest point.

But Xuan Shiqi was unwilling to delve into it. If the White Tiger Base had the ability, he would go and rescue them himself. He had more important things to do now.

Xuan Shiqi impatiently announced the withdrawal, leaving the people at the White Tiger Base standing there, and led his troops away on his own.

The leader of the White Tiger Base had a gloomy face, his teeth grinding together.

Seeing this, the second-in-command asked, "Commander, what do we do?"

The leader of the White Tiger Base sneered, "What are we going to do? Their Black Tortoise troops aren't moving, are we supposed to charge in their place? Let's retreat!"

He looked worried, wondering how he would explain things when he got back.

The White Tiger Base team turned and left, but after only half an hour, they were suddenly met by a large, dark-skinned team!

Upon recognizing the troops from Oasis Base and Azure Dragon Base, the leader of White Tiger Base was shocked: "Retreat... no, head east! Quickly contact Black Tortoise Base for backup!"

Retreating back instead of returning to the territory of the Oasis base, he could only hope that Xuan Shiqi's team had not gone far and could provide timely support. Otherwise, how could his 20,000-strong team fight against the combined forces of the Oasis Azure Dragon, which numbered nearly 50,000?

But as soon as they turned east, they found a troop blocking their way across the wasteland.

Fang Qingdai's spatial ability to deploy troops is completely undetectable and impossible to defend against!

The leader of the White Tiger Base felt a chill run down his spine and could only order a full-scale defense while awaiting reinforcements from the Black Tortoise Base.

Xuan Shiqi received the distress call but hesitated for a few minutes before choosing to ignore it.

The White Tiger Base is Li Weidong's backing. He must be crazy to help the White Tiger Base at this time. Isn't he just making trouble for himself?
