Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 425 - 313. Pay protection fees to Great Xia_2

After the public appearance of Tianfu Craft One, Great Xia released a series of high-definition images to the outside world.

Among them was an image of Tianfu Craft One turning on blue lights while working in the wild.

Faisal had seen the images and was very impressed, and suddenly remembered them at this moment.

His wife asked: "What are Great Xia people doing in the Luotuo Kingdom?"

Faisal said: "I don’t know either, but it shouldn’t be a bad thing. Great Xia people are still relatively friendly to the Luotuo Kingdom."

His wife nodded: "Indeed, Great Xia people are much friendlier than Carmenians."

About seven or eight years ago, the Grand Commander of the Carmenia Federation publicly called the Luotuo people "untouchables," and many Luotuo people still remember this.

Faisal said again: "Check the social media, the official should release relevant information."

His wife responded with a "Okay!"

Ten minutes later.

As the couple approached their doorstep, they finally made a discovery.

His wife raised her phone and shouted: "Great Xia dispatched a Tianfu Craft Tactics Squad to visit us; there’s also a very impressive image here."

Faisal slowed down the car, turned to look at the "very impressive" image his wife mentioned.

He was shocked after just one glance.

On the phone screen.

A mechanical exoskeleton turned on its blue lights and jumped high from the ground, leaping toward the overhead bridge.

On the bridge, two exoskeletons had already landed and were gliding forward.

Under the bridge, nine exoskeletons were charging toward the overpass.

And the distance of the overpass from the road below was a full thirty meters, equivalent to the height of a ten-story building.

This meant that the Great Xia people’s exoskeleton could leap onto a ten-story-high building.

For ordinary people, this is a somewhat shocking fact.

His wife retracted her phone, exclaiming: "Great Xia people are truly strong!"

Faisal agreed deeply: "Yes."

He smiled again and said: "For the Kingdom, it should be a good thing for the Great Xia people to come over."

His wife asked puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Faisal answered: "A few days ago, the major Carmenia media outlet, BAC, published an article criticizing the Luotuo Kingdom, accusing the Kingdom of being too harsh on foreign laborers, leading to many being frozen or starved to death."

His wife couldn’t help cursing: "Carmenians are truly shameless."

The Luotuo Kingdom is an extremely wealthy nation, providing incredible high welfare benefits to its citizens, even ordinary people can receive a sum of money from the government each month without working.

Under such circumstances, naturally, no one was willing to do the dirty and tiring work.

So the Luotuo Kingdom introduced a policy to bring in a large number of foreign laborers from poor surrounding countries.

After the arrival of the Age of Calamity, the Luotuo Kingdom dismissed most of the foreign laborers, but there were still more than two million foreign workers remaining in the country.

Although the Luotuo people were not too kind to foreign laborers, the tragic incident of "mass foreign laborers being frozen or starved to death" did not occur.

Faisal spoke again: "This Carmenia robbers are just like that. When they plan to target a certain country, they first start by hyping negative news about that country through media."

His wife understood this sentence: "You mean, the Carmenians want to deal with our country, Great Xia learned about this matter and dispatched a Tianfu Craft Tactics Squad to protect our country. The official just released this news to let the Carmenians know?"

Faisal nodded and said: "It should be."

His wife muttered softly: "I see there are only twelve people in the image of the Tianfu Craft Tactics Squad; isn’t that a bit too few?"

Faisal stepped on the brake and brought the car to a steady stop: "It is indeed a bit few. It would be better if a hundred of them came."

He turned his head and called out: "Open the garage."

His wife took out the remote from the glove compartment and pressed it towards the garage door.

"Ka!"

A soft sound was heard as the garage door slowly opened.

Ten kilometers away.

Alaba Base.

Long before the departure of the Tianfu Craft Tactics Squad, Great Xia had reached an agreement with the Luotuo Kingdom.

The Luotuo Kingdom "rented" this base right next to the capital directly to the Great Xia people.

Lease period—50 years.

Lease fee—negative ten billion Xia Yuan a year.

That’s right!

It’s "a negative number."

Great Xia doesn’t need to pay a single penny for the rental fee, and every year the Luotuo Kingdom has to pay Great Xia people a hardship fee of ten billion Xia Yuan.

Besides.

All expenses of the Great Xia people in the base, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, and military equipment costs, are also borne by the Luotuo Kingdom.

In simple terms, they are paying for Great Xia’s protection.

Although the conditions are quite favorable, initially, the Great Xia people were not too willing, because there were too many things to handle domestically in Great Xia.

Later, the King himself called Great Xia, involving exchanges at high levels between the two sides, and only then did Great Xia agree to lease Alaba Base.

At this moment.

Zhao Xiaoying, wearing the Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeleton, was standing at the base entrance, looking bored at the team leader exchanging words with the Luotuo officer.

The team leader had previously claimed that the base would be reached within ten minutes, but the entire squad did not even take ten minutes.

They raced all the way, jumping rivers and bridges, only taking just over eight minutes to reach the entrance of the base.

Major General Ahmed of the Luotuo military, catching up with a military helicopter in a hurry, managed to arrive at the base before the Great Xia people.

But he only arrived thirty seconds earlier.

When Ahmed jumped from the helicopter to see a squad of exoskeletons racing towards the gate, his eyes were a bit peculiar.

"Major Lin, is your country willing to sell the Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeleton to others?"

This was the first thing this general said after meeting the team.

The squad just made a demonstration of long-distance assault, and it deeply impressed these Luotuo soldiers.

They have already started thinking that the future elite infantry of Canglan Star must be equipped with exoskeletons.

And as a wealthy country, when the Luotuo people see something good, they want to buy it.

Major Lin was taken aback and shook his head: "I’m sorry, I am just a small team leader; how can I make the decision on selling exoskeletons?"

Ahmed was not surprised: "Alright, we will inquire about this matter with Great Xia through official channels."

Major Lin smiled and said: "The real main force coming to support your country is not our Tianfu Craft Tactics Squad, but another formidable person. If he thinks it can be sold, then the high-level officials of Great Xia will listen to his opinion."

Ahmed was confused for a moment.

The Tianfu Craft Tactics Squad is already so powerful, yet it’s not the main force?

Major Lin pointed to the right shoulder of the exoskeleton and smiled: "This is Mr. Bai."

As soon as the words fell.

"Caw!"

A loud crow’s cry suddenly sounded.

All the Luotuo soldiers, including Ahmed, were startled.

They were not startled by the crow’s call.

It was because this White Spirit Crow had been standing on Major Lin’s shoulder all along, yet they completely ignored its presence.

Until the White Spirit Crow voluntarily made a sound, did the Luotuo soldiers notice the spirit crow.

The implication was indeed somewhat frightening.

The White Spirit Crow flapped a wing and politely said: "Good evening, everyone!"

Ahmed swallowed and replied: "Good evening, Mr. Bai San Thirteenth."

This general only realized then that Major Lin was not talking nonsense; the real support main force had another "crow."

By the way.

Regarding the batch of spirit crows from Great Xia, every nation has studied them in detail; knowing the features of each spirit crow, their names, they have figured out clearly.

Ahmed had specially learned, so he immediately called out the name.

The White Spirit Crow spoke: "This time, I came over under the orders of Mr. Spirit Crows specifically to deal with a group of Carmenia clowns."

Ahmed hurriedly said: "Thank you very much for your support."

He felt deeply moved as the movements of the Carmenians had the entire kingdom very tense, with His Majesty King treating it like a great enemy, calling Great Xia three times a day.

Who would have thought that in this spirit crow’s eyes, Carmenians merely earned the nickname of "clowns."

The White Spirit Crow continued: "As for whether to sell the Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeleton, we can discuss it later. Right now, we need to save people."

Ahmed was dumbfounded.

Save who?

The White Spirit Crow turned its head to the northeast: "I sense that a very strong yeti is about to appear nine kilometers away, and there are quite a few residents nearby." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It then turned to look at Long-legged Sister and ordered: "Zhao Xiaoying, I’ll give you instructions, and you’re responsible for sniping the yeti."

"Yes!"

Zhao Xiaoying immediately responded.

These Luotuo soldiers were stunned again.

Sniping across nine kilometers?

Isn’t that too exaggerated!
