60: The base vehicle of the lord's manor

A series of white ripples enveloped the open space in the front yard. When the ripples dissipated, a massive Soviet Army MCV appeared in the front yard.

"This way, the entire city will sense the massive spatial energy fluctuations here!" Huang Yichen said calmly, standing beside Wei He.

"Let them know then. What can they do? If there were only a small unit of you in this vast capital of the Magic Empire, that would be truly dangerous!" Wei He said softly.

"The maids and servants have all been sent away. This place is ours now!" Huang Yichen reminded Wei He in a timely manner.

Hearing Huang Yichen's words, Wei He commanded the Soviet Army MCV to crash through the courtyard wall and drive straight to the backyard. He suddenly thought that if anyone came, they would be blocked in the front yard by the base. Moreover, through his Gods Eye View, Wei He had already seen someone walking toward him.

"Wei He, Mr. Huang, we're here!" Su Qinglei appeared at Wei He's main gate, arm-in-arm with Alice.

Seeing two fair-skinned beauties with great figures appear, Wei He's eyes immediately lit up. Beside them, the Sniper, holding an AWP Heavy Sniper Rifle, appeared in Wei He's line of sight at an inopportune moment.

"Hello, Lord! This is the prisoner I captured—your soldier. Since you are now our Lord, I can return him to you!" Alice said, pointing at the Sniper.

"Thank you, Great General Alice!" Wei He said politely.

"Ah! You actually know who I am?" Alice asked in disbelief.

Hearing this, Wei He knew that Su Qinglei hadn't told Alice about the base.

"It's not hard to guess. There aren't many female generals in the entire Magic Empire, and the only one who would be with Su Qinglei must be you, Great General Alice!" Wei He made up a random excuse. In reality, he had already seen Alice through his Gods Eye View.

"Oh, you're quite clever!" Alice listened to Wei He's explanation, which didn't seem to have any issues.

"I'm just average—third best in the world!" Wei He said smugly.

"Well, the person has been delivered. We're heading back!" Alice said with a smile.

"Goodbye, Wei He, Mr. Huang! Next time, I'll come over to hang out!" Su Qinglei said with a cute expression.

"Yeah, see you. Next time I'll take you for a joyride!" Wei He watched them leave and then took the Sniper back to the backyard.

On the way back, Alice thought pensively that this Wei He was very strange. She was certain she had never met him, yet he knew her. This included the massive spatial energy fluctuations she had clearly sensed from his Lords Mansion just now. However, only the two of them were there. Could the person beside him be a Space Mage?

"Xiao Su, who was that beside Wei He just now? You seem quite familiar with him," Alice asked tentatively.

"Oh, you mean Mr. Huang? Mr. Huang is the one who kidnapped me last time!" Su Qinglei said happily, not even realizing why she was so cheerful today.

"That person from last time? That means he's an Earth Element Ability User!" Alice thought of the earth-type energy fluctuations she had sensed when Su Qinglei was kidnapped.

"Yes! It's him! Hehe!" Su Qinglei said happily, not noticing Alice's expression.

"His subordinates are truly a collection of talented people. What kind of ability does he have to make so many extraordinary individuals follow him willingly—him, a person with no energy fluctuations at all!" Alice muttered to herself.

"I don't know! But he's alright, quite nice, actually. Not like other men who are so creepy!" Su Qinglei said with a faint smile, her lips curling up.

"Oh, is that so~?" Alice drawled with a mischievous grin. "You have a pretty good impression of him. Could it be that you...?"

"No, I don't! Don't get the wrong idea!" Su Qinglei's face instantly turned bright red.

"I haven't even said anything yet. Why are you blushing?" Alice said pointedly.

"I'm not! Who's blushing?" Su Qinglei covered her face and ran off.

Inside the Laiselo Temple, the vast palace was empty except for a few vermilion pillars. Emperor Alexander the Great, Grand Duke William, and Grand Duke James were gathered together, discussing the spatial energy fluctuations that had just appeared at the Lords Mansion.

"This Wei He is far too bold. He just accepted our recruitment and already brought a Space Mage over. What does he want?" Grand Duke James said angrily.

"The power of a Space Mage is not to be underestimated. Judging by the spatial energy fluctuations just now, this power is no weaker than that of us three old-timers!" Grand Duke William said with some emotion.

"If this power could be used against the Demon Race, our national defense pressure would be greatly reduced. Our financial problems are growing; those corrupt officials have drained the country's finances. Now the treasury is empty, and with the Demon invasion, we have internal troubles and external threats," Emperor Alexander the Great said with a worried look. Upon closer inspection, he seemed years older than he did during the morning court session.

"It's lucky we've recruited Wei He for now, though I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. If he were to use a Space Mage against us, it would truly be impossible to guard against!" Grand Duke William said calmly.

"With the three of us joining forces, even a Space Mage is nothing to fear. The current issue is the financial problem. Taxes in many regions are less than half of what they were in previous years. Those bastards must have grown bold; it's time to teach them a lesson!" Grand Duke James said, his eyes filled with fury.

"Yes. Send people to various places as soon as possible to oversee tax collection. With the Great War imminent, if they can't collect it, seize the local officials' homes and confiscate all their assets!" Emperor Alexander the Great said calmly.

"Fine, let's do that. We aren't so old that we can't swing a blade yet. They actually dare to test us? With taxes down so much, we should arrest them and interrogate them one by one!" Grand Duke William said excitedly.

What they didn't know was that the reason taxes were so low was that most of the small cities in the Magic Empire were under Wei He's control. The missing portion of the taxes had ended up in Wei He's hands, converted into red alert Economic Credits.

While those three old fogies were having their small meeting, Wei He was also busy in his Lords Mansion.

"System, deploy the Soviet Army MCV!" Wei He said in a commanding tone.

"As you command, Commander!" The System's mechanical voice rang out.

A massive building rose from the ground. Fortunately, the Lords Mansion was large enough, though it still completely filled the backyard.

The height of this base was comparable to the Laiselo Temple. The commoners throughout the city saw it and began discussing it one after another.

A citizen selling fried skewers said, "That building wasn't there just now. How did it appear so suddenly? And it's so strange. Could it be a Temple of the Gods?"

"What Temple of the Gods? That's the direction of the Lords Mansion. It must be some strange building of the Lord's. Can't you see it looks different from our buildings?" a pear vendor on the street said.

"The Lord's buildings are so strange, built in an instant. I heard he defeated the Magic Empire's army without lifting a finger. Could he be a god?" a restaurant owner nearby added.

"Do you want to die? Keep talking like that and watch them take you away!" The pear vendor pointed at the soldiers not far away, and the crowd scattered like birds and beasts.

"Eh? What's that?" Alice, who had just left not long ago, pointed at the base.

"Ah! That seems to be the direction of the Lords Mansion!" Su Qinglei naturally knew what it was. She had seen everything in Wei He's base, and Wei He had told her what they were for.
