The eighteenth underground hall of the Red Sand Base.
The hall is three thousand square meters in size and is usually used for training. The dome, walls and floor have all been specially reinforced.
There was nothing originally furnished in the hall, just some temporary arrangements.
The walls were covered with holographic projections, which looked as magnificent as a palace. There were dozens of banquet tables in the hall, but there were no hot dishes, only cold fruit platters, desserts, and some drinks.
Four big words were projected on a wall in the hall: Celebration Dinner.
It was almost time, so Feng Tao and Yang Yushan entered the hall together. Both of them were senior officers at the Hongsha Base, and they both found the layout of the hall a little funny.
“It’s not that exaggerated, is it?”
Feng Tao looks older, but he is actually less than 50 years old. He has already risen to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and is very popular in the base because of his humorous way of speaking and his good manners.
Yang Yushan glanced at Feng Tao and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Sit over there."
The two of them found a seat in the back corner and sat down. They picked up some desserts and tasted them. They both thought they tasted pretty good.
In recent years, the military budget of Hailong Star has been tight, and the supply in Hongsha Base has been of a lower grade.
Of course, it's delicious and tasty. But it's a bit rough. You can't eat such exquisite desserts at the base.
"The commander is really trying hard..."
Feng Tao ate a few desserts and said with emotion: "I don't know how great the achievement is, but they even held a celebration party. This is the first time I've seen this in my life!"
Yang Yushan looked at Feng Tao strangely: "You don't know?"
Feng Tao was stunned: "Know what?"
"That's right, you're too talkative, and no one tells you."
Yang Yushan was afraid of being overheard, so he used the military encrypted channel to tell Feng Tao: "Something big is going to happen tonight."
Feng Tao was even more confused: "What big thing happened? What big thing could happen in the base?"
The Hongsha base is impregnable. There are many experts guarding it. Who dares to come and cause trouble
Moreover, most of the soldiers in the Red Sand Base were from outside. Even if the local families wanted to cause trouble, it would not be that easy.
Besides, Feng Tao knows the character of several aristocratic families. They are more ruthless than each other in making money and more cowardly than each other in risking their lives.
These people don't have the guts to rebel.
Yang Yushan knew Feng Tao was wrong, and he said, "It's for Gao Xuan."
"What happened to that kid?"
Feng Tao suddenly came to his senses: "Are we going to deal with Gao Xuan?"
He was very surprised: "Isn't this a bit bad?"
Feng Tao certainly knew what his family had done. Without the protection of their children serving in the army, the major families would not have been able to accomplish this.
But Feng Tao doesn’t think he can do this kind of thing for a lifetime.
Now that Blackwater City has been destroyed, this matter may come to an end for the time being.
Feng Tao never thought that several major families would actually deal with Gao Xuan!
Gao Xuan was a special envoy sent by Hercules, and this was made very clear on the first day Gao Xuan arrived.
Killing Gao Xuan is equivalent to directly provoking Isis, Hercules, and the entire Poseidon regime.
"Don't you understand? This is approved by the commander."
Yang Yushan sighed. Feng Tao seemed to be very smart but not smart when it came to big things.
If it weren't for Isis's care, their little actions would have been discovered long ago.
"Commander Isis?"
Sure enough, Feng Tao was shocked. He couldn't believe that the commander was also their accomplice.
"What do you think."
Yang Yushan said: "Look, the ones who came are all our own people. There are also masters from other places. That is Feng Jingzheng, the Soul-Breaking Sword, that is Han Changchun, the Cold-blooded Swordsman, and Yang Zifeng, the Iron Dragon..."
These were the top sword masters from the major families, and they were also considered the strongest sword masters in Shanghai Dragon Star. Together with the other sword masters, there were a total of 23 sword masters.
Together with the masters from various major military families, there were more than thirty swordsmen gathered in the hall.
There are too many other swordsmen to count.
Feng Tao checked the number of people and was a little shocked: "What's going on? There are so many people gathered here. If the commander gets angry, we will be in danger."
Feng Tao felt that it was not right no matter how he looked at it. If it was just to kill Gao Xuan, there was no need to be so exaggerated.
The elites of the four great families have gathered in the hall. If Isis suddenly turns hostile and kills them all, the four great families will immediately fall apart.
"You are out of your mind. The commander and we are all believers in God. We will not do anything rash."
Yang Yushan wished he could open a hole in Feng Tao's head to help him open his mind.
It is obvious that without Muse's instructions, the four major families would not be so obedient as to send out all their experts.
From this point, it can also be seen that Isis must be a believer in God.
Only in this way can the four great families trust Isis. Only in this way can both sides cooperate.
Feng Tao suddenly realized that Isis was so beautiful and charming. It was reasonable for her to be a believer of the Muse.
"Gathering all the masters just to kill Gao Xuan is a bit exaggerated!" Feng Tao was still a little puzzled.
Yang Yushan also shook his head: "Perhaps, my Lord wants to issue an important oracle."
Feng Tao asked: "Will the destruction of Blackwater City affect our underground mining industry?"
"How should I know? This is all top secret."
Yang Yushan said: "Just watch the show with peace of mind."
Feng Tao suddenly said excitedly: "That must be Gao Xuan, he's so damn good looking."
Yang Yushan didn't say anything, he was also shocked.
The other people in the hall also looked at Gao Xuan. For a moment, the hall was eerily quiet.
Gao Xuan was wearing a neat dark blue military uniform. He was not wearing a hat but was wearing a pair of sunglasses.
He strode into the hall with his head held high and naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
Helen, who was following behind Gao Xuan, was also wearing the same military uniform, and her bright and beautiful face was even more heroic. Unfortunately, her brilliance was completely overshadowed by Gao Xuan.
Helen was used to this kind of treatment. She held Gao Xuan's hand, looked at the people around her happily, and was in a very good mood.
Gao Xuan wiped out Blackwater City, killed millions of Lizardmen, and resolved the underground crisis.
According to the agreement between her father and Gao Xuan, she can marry Gao Xuan. This is a great joyous event.
As for what her mother thought, Helen didn't care. After all, Pan's words didn't count.
Helen is heartless, but Gao Xuan sees it clearly. Is this the Hongmen Banquet
No, this is actually a killing game. He is going to the meeting alone.
Helen, it's almost useless. Just like the tassel.
Gao Xuan took Helen to the front seat and sat down. He also tasted various desserts with great interest.
A few minutes later, Pan and Isis arrived together, followed by several silver sword masters.
Many officers and representatives of noble families in the hall stood up to greet them. The two walked over with great fanfare.
Gao Xuan whispered in Helen's ear: "When a fight breaks out, just stand aside. Don't get involved."
Helen's bright green eyes were full of confusion: "What?"
She didn't quite understand what Gao Xuan meant. Who was Gao Xuan going to fight? Why
Gao Xuan touched Helen's smooth and beautiful blonde hair, "I just like your silly energy."
"Nonsense, don't you like my face? Don't you like my breasts? Don't you like my butt? My..."
"Okay. Stop talking. I like them all."
Gao Xuan quickly covered Helen's mouth to stop her, as any further talk would have crossed the line.
Seeing Gao Xuan and Helen's intimate little movements, Pan's eyes were as cold as a knife. The hateful thing was that the blind Gao Xuan couldn't see her eyes at all.
Isis was smiling the whole time. She walked to the front and stood on the podium. "Welcome everyone to this party."
As she spoke, the heavy door of the hall slid out, completely sealing the hall.
Those sitting in the back looked back at the gate, each with a somewhat uneasy look on their face.
In fact, most people didn't know what they were doing here. Seeing the crowd at the party, these people felt even more uneasy.
At this time, the heads of the major families also began to communicate with their own people, telling them the real purpose of this party.
Everyone knew that Gao Xuan was going to be killed, and the slight commotion of anxiety soon subsided.
Many people couldn't help but look at Gao Xuan. This 19-year-old boy wanted to gather so many of them? And he even wanted to hold a party? Isn't this just one move at a time
Wouldn't it be possible for Isis to execute the young man with just one order
Most people were still puzzled, and felt that such a large-scale battle against a teenager was a bit too exaggerated.
Isis, standing on the podium, saw the movement below clearly. She showed that mysterious smile again.
Pan, who was beside Isis, breathed a sigh of relief. Isis's current state clearly showed that she was possessed by the Muse.
With this goddess around, killing Gao Xuan will become a ritual to worship the gods.
Pan couldn't help but glance at Helen, and took this opportunity to convert Helen into a believer. In this way, this daughter should be more obedient.
"Everyone, we are gathered here today to celebrate Gao Xuan's achievements. Major General Gao Xuan went deep underground, destroyed Blackwater City, and wiped out the Lizardmen. His military exploits are outstanding. He is truly a role model for soldiers."
Many people looked a little strange. They didn't quite understand what Isis meant by this? Didn't they agree to kill Gao Xuan as a sacrifice to the gods
Han Changchun and other top masters of the aristocratic families all looked calm. Their calmness also made everyone feel a little relieved.
Helen was beaming with joy, in a particularly good mood. She even glanced at her mother Pan with a proud look on her face.
Pan looked at Helen with some pity. Her daughter was so childish!
The subtle changes in emotions of everyone in the hall could not escape Isis's divine perception.
There was only one exception, and that was Gao Xuan. He closed his eyes, seemingly shutting out all his emotions.
Although Gao Xuan had an impeccable smile on his face, Isis could not sense his inner emotions.
Gao Xuan's smile was not fake, it was just too bright and pure, without any other emotions. This was very abnormal.
Helen is the truly innocent one. Gao Xuan, in any case, has nothing to do with innocence.
This 19-year-old boy could always find the right thigh to hold. He took every step so steadily and was so ruthless every time he attacked. That was how he could become a major general at the age of 19.
This time he hugged Helen again, and was about to become the heir of the Golden Family!
Isis had to admit that this young man was really capable. Although his methods of ascending to the top were crude, she couldn't have done better.
Unfortunately, Gao Xuan must die today.
When Isis thought of this, her smile became even more mysterious. She said to Gao Xuan, "Major General Gao Xuan, I will report your achievements truthfully."
She paused and said with a complicated meaning, "However, you must also give an explanation for killing Talos."
Everyone knew that Talos had come to Sea Dragon Star to deal with the affairs of the Lizardmen. They also knew of Talos's noble status.
Isis said that Gao Xuan had killed Talos, which surprised many people. Many people also breathed a sigh of relief, as they were finally getting to the point.
Helen was also very surprised. She glanced at Gao Xuan. To be honest, she believed that Gao Xuan would not hesitate to kill Talos. This man was always extremely cruel to his enemies.
But she couldn't admit such a thing. She stood up and said loudly: "Isis, what evidence do you have? Don't talk nonsense!"
Isis restrained her smile and said, "We have investigated it very clearly."
She pointed at the crowd below and said, "Everyone present saw Gao Xuan kill Talos."
Helen was stunned. She turned around and looked at everyone in the hall, "Did everyone see it?"
Cold-blooded Sword Han Changchun stood up first, "I saw it. I can testify."
"I can testify to that."
"I can testify to that."
…
Everyone else in the hall stood up and said in unison that they could serve as witnesses.
Helen's face turned pale, and she realized that things were not going well. The other party lied so blatantly and gave false testimony just to frame Gao Xuan. No, they wanted to kill him by force!
Helen was a little panicked. There were too many people in the hall. There were at least thirty silver sword masters. The sword intent released from them was cold and chilling.
The huge hall was already filled with sword energy and sword intent. She felt like she was in a sea of swords and mountains.
Gao Xuan stood up and held Helen's hand. His palm was warm, soft and full of strength.
He whispered to Helen: "This is not my job. I need to ask your dad to give me more money when I get home..."
