After making contact with Lin Xu, Bai Qingniao immediately warned him that the environment was dangerous and that she would create an opportunity for him to escape from the encirclement.
However, if Lin Xu's speed on the island is not fast enough, the White Bluebird cannot guarantee that Lin Xu will not be caught up later.
Listening to Bai Qingniao's concern, Lin Xu teased this young lady, asking if she wouldn't be investigated for betraying her accomplices despite being a noblewoman.
The white bluebird arrogantly expressed her disdain, saying that nobles were all thieves and prostitutes, and that what they did behind the scenes was far worse than what she had done.
Then the white bird told Lin Xu to stop chatting and to make sure he could confirm the island's speed and escape.
Lin Xu did not respond to Bai Qingniao's arrangements, but simply told Bai Qingniao what he had heard from Chen Shaojie, warning the Bai family of danger.
But Bai Qingniao was not surprised by this news. She was very clear about the Bai family's situation. There were two groups of people plotting against the Bai family. One group was her family's nemesis, and the other group was her fiancé.
However, Bai Qingniao didn't seem to care much about her predicament, saying that her brother and father would handle these matters.
If her so-called family members are using her as a bargaining chip to try and marry a wolf in sheep's clothing, then she doesn't need to worry too much about her family's situation.
Lin Xu realized that even nobles had a lot of troubles, and the things they did to maintain their status were probably even more cruel and cold-blooded than those of commoners.
However, since the white bluebird already knew about the danger, he didn't need to remind him any further.
The white bird warned Lin Xu again that he was in a dangerous situation and that the countdown was about to end, so Lin Xu had to prepare to escape quickly.
Otherwise, Lin Xu would have to surrender and become Xiao Xing's lackey.
Lin Xu smiled. He confirmed the location of the white bluebird and assured Miss Bai that her island would definitely not be attacked.
Then Lin Xu added, "Now I'd like to invite Miss to watch a fireworks display."
The next moment, Lin Xu ordered Xiao Yu to fire.
Linxu Island launched a war against the noble army.
Terrifying artillery fire instantly swept across vast areas of the void and islands.
The area near Lin Xu, except for the location of the White Bluebird, was engulfed in flames, rendered incapable of movement and combat by heavy artillery bombardment.
His island continued forward, rushing toward the more densely populated area of nobles.
The nobles present were stunned.
Bai Qingniao, Xiao Xing, and the other nobles and their subordinates stared at Lin Xu Island in disbelief.
Faced with hundreds of islands controlled by noble forces, how dare a commoner at the bottom of society take the initiative to open fire?
While everyone was still in a daze, Lin Xu unleashed his second wave of attacks.
More islands were destroyed, especially the islands of knights and knights' squires; some were even blasted to pieces and dismembered.
The nobles only then came to their senses and ordered a counterattack using various means.
Then they were horrified to discover that Lin Xu Island was unusually fast and extraordinarily agile.
In addition, the controller of Lin Xu's island is also a master of island management.
The other nobles, who were targeting Lin Xu's island, were unable to accurately predict his movements.
Instead, Lin Xu kept retaliating, blasting many islands to pieces.
Xiao Xing stood on the island, unable to believe Lin Xu's choice.
After a long while, he felt as if he had been greatly insulted, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
He directly ordered that Lin Xu be executed without regard to cost or consequences, without holding back any means.
However, after the clash, Lin Xu was still alive and well, while more islands were destroyed.
Xiao Xing only calmed down when the situation began to become more chaotic.
He ordered his men to use secret weapons, specifically long-range, ultra-long-range sniper cannons.
His subordinates were surprised. These weapons were specially developed by Xiao Xing to deal with a certain nobleman, but they were going to have to use them now.
Lin Xu stood on the island, watching as large swathes of the surrounding nobles were blasted to pieces, and felt a sense of satisfaction.
However, he also discovered that while his island's offensive capabilities were strong enough, its defensive capabilities were still insufficient.
If the nobles hadn't been caught off guard and hadn't launched a concentrated attack, Lin Xu's island would inevitably have suffered losses.
In particular, the peach orchard and the golden rose are the most vulnerable and precious items to defend. If the nobles concentrate their attacks on these two things, the island will likely suffer significant losses.
As Lin Xu was pondering how to strengthen his defenses, he suddenly felt an intense sense of crisis—an intuitive reaction to danger that came with his greatly enhanced soul abilities.
Before he could make a move, he felt a tremendous force concentrated in his throat, and he was sent flying backward, flying dozens of meters and carving a deep trench in the ground.
At that moment, the object that hit him exploded; it was a special shell.
Xiaoyu and Taoyao, along with the other women, exclaimed in surprise and rushed to protect Lin Xu.
Lin Xu frowned and told the women to continue with their duties. He then got up, picked up his binoculars, and looked toward the direction from which the shells had come.
Then he met the gaze of Xiao Xing, who was on the largest island in the very center of the noble family.
Xiao Xing's eyes were also filled with shock and disbelief.
Lin Xu was clearly hit head-on by his specially made weapon, yet he didn't seem to suffer any damage at all, and instead recovered so quickly.
At this moment, Xiao Xing finally realized that Lin Xu was an extremely dangerous civilian.
If such ordinary people cannot be brought under control, they must be nipped in the bud.
Xiao Xing ordered the island to hold back and use all ten long-range sniper cannons to bombard Lin Xu.
As Lin Xu observed the troop movements on the island ahead, he realized that Xiao Xing's resources were indeed extraordinary.
Xiao Xing has this weapon, which, as it stands, is sufficient to engage him in ranged combat.
If there were no other nobles around, Lin Xu was confident that he could withstand the shelling of Xiao Xing's island, land directly, and kill Xiao Xing.
However, the other nobles, having been bombarded by cannon fire, have now reacted and formed a dispersed formation to surround and bombard Linxu Island from a distance.
Furthermore, many of these nobles possess power and influence, and their dispersed distribution of power could pose a significant challenge to Lin Xu.
Now that Xiao Xing also has long-range sniping capabilities, if he realizes he can't kill Lin Xu, he might turn his guns around and bombard Lin Xu's island, destroying the peach groves and golden roses. In that case, Lin Xu would suffer a great loss.
Thinking this through, Lin Xu realized that a direct confrontation would result in mutual destruction, which was not worthwhile for him.
He then ordered Xiaoyu to unleash a barrage of fire, which blasted away many more islands belonging to the nobles.
Then Lin Xu instructed Xiao Yu to steer the island out of the encirclement of the noble islands, easily shaking off the pursuers at incredible speed and leaving the encirclement.
Only the nobles and their subordinates who had survived the battlefield were left, staring blankly at Lin Xu's retreating figure.
Afterwards, Xiao Xing's face turned ashen as he discovered that the attack had wiped out half of the islands under the nobles' control.
Even the nobles themselves lost one-tenth of the islands.
Upon hearing this result, everyone gasped in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that Lin Xu, an ordinary citizen, had accomplished this.
When Bai Qingniao heard the battle report in the crowd, her eyes lit up with admiration. She said that he was indeed the man she had chosen, and that he was truly extraordinary.
