The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

The wilderness is teeming with monsters, and all sorts of situations can occur. To establish a base there, one needs not only to invest a lot of resources, but also to provide substantial manpower and military support.

Therefore, apart from the official strongholds, the strongholds in the northern wilderness are now basically occupied by the seven major martial arts groups, and other forces can hardly support them.

Even if some large families or small martial arts groups spend a lot of resources to establish one or two strongholds, it is like an isolated piece on a chessboard, which can be easily captured, and in the end it is all for naught.

This time, Lu Yuan was sent to establish a base, but as punishment, he was given two restrictions.

First, although it is nominally a base of the Starry Sky Club, the Starry Sky Club will not provide any support. To put it bluntly, it will not give a single penny or a single person.

Secondly, this stronghold is located outside the Star Hall stronghold chain, which is the so-called "orphan" without any barriers to rely on.

"...Are they going to make me dig a base all by myself, with just my bare hands?"

After hearing what Shen Fuyue said, Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. This was worse than exile.

At least in exile he could go wherever he wanted and do whatever he wanted, but now he's not only being thrown into the ground, he'll also have to work as a bricklayer.

"What you said makes sense."

Shen Fuyue scratched his forehead and smiled again.

"But requirements are one thing, and execution is another. You have to be flexible in doing things."

"Grandpa, you mean...?"

"Although the guild hall won't support you, Shen Family Guild!"

Shen Fuyue's expression was serious, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Besides the four assassins you extorted from the third branch, the Shen family will send you more people. Also, you don't need to worry about supplies; the Shen family will continue to provide you with supplies."

"Thank you very much, Father-in-law!"

Lu Yuan's face lit up with joy, and he wished he could kneel down and kowtow to Shen Fuyue twice.

The Shen family's strength is naturally not comparable to that of the Starry Sky Club, but supporting a single outpost is not a difficult task.

In reality, Shen Fuyue's idea was to let Lu Yuan hold on for a year, and then return to the city to deal with Zhu Fuyuan and that would be the end of it.

As for the stronghold, they can just leave a foundation where it is. As for it being destroyed by the monsters after Lu Yuan left, that's none of their business.

But Lu Yuan thought differently.

He wants to truly establish this stronghold!

This was not just a stronghold, but the very foundation upon which he truly rose to prominence and even established his own business!

Following that, Shen Fuyue talked with Lu Yuan for over an hour about the specifics.

Various unexpected situations may occur outside the city, which they cannot foresee in just one hour, but for now, this is all they can do.

"Before you leave, go to the meeting place and hand over the responsibilities."

Finally, Shen Fuyue gave a final instruction.

"Um."

Lu Yuan nodded, then couldn't help but ask another question.

"By the way, they said they were going to exile me permanently, but now it's become an overseas assignment. The difference in just a few days is too big. Do you think that fat pig will be happy about it?"

"He can't refuse even if he doesn't want to."

Shen Fuyue smiled and looked at Lu Yuan with a meaningful expression.

"That little miracle doctor you think she is quite influential. It was because of her that the guild and even the teachers changed their tune. Under pressure from both sides, Zhu Fuyuan had no choice but to back down."

"That's too much of a concession."

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Wu Gu Hui headquarters put pressure on Zhu Fuyuan."

"Headquarters?"

Lu Yuan blinked, a wave of shock washing over him.

Even the headquarters of the Wugu Association has been involved. Just how powerful is this Lin Xiangjun?

"Alright, you can arrange the rest of your time yourself."

Not only Lu Yuan, but Shen Fuyue was also taken aback.

Having said what needed to be said, he stood up, patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder, and left.

As per Zhu Fuyuan's request, Lu Yuan must leave the city before August, which means there are still about half a month left.

Just as Shen Fuyue said, Lu Yuan needs to make proper arrangements.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Yuan immediately left the Shen family and headed to the guild hall.

With the decision finalized, Lu Yuan's house arrest and surveillance were lifted.

After leaving the house, there were still a few people watching him, but they were just watching. Lu Yuan didn't care whether they were Zhu Fuyuan's men or someone else.

Upon arriving at the Starry Sky Building, we went straight to the 50th floor.

He had already asked before coming, and Wu Jianming was in his office.

"Congratulations, kid."

Seeing Lu Yuan enter, Wu Jianming smiled, took out a cigarette from the drawer, and tossed it to him.

"What's the joy about?"

Lu Yuan lit Wu Jianming's food, then sat down opposite him, lighting his own food while casually asking a question.

"Not only have disasters been averted and difficulties resolved, but there is also an opportunity to make a name for oneself. Isn't this something to celebrate?"

Wu Jianming smiled again, his mood noticeably more relaxed.

Lu Yuan is safe this time, and as his leader, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, Wu Jianming had been working hard for Lu Yuan during this period, but unfortunately, Lu Yuan had caused too much trouble this time, and he had not been able to do much.

"What a load of bull! They won't give me any support whatsoever. They'd rather I fend for myself."

Lu Yuan, with a cigarette between his fingers, kept shaking his head and sighing.

Wu Jianming took a puff of smoke, exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at Lu Yuan, and sighed helplessly after a long while.

"Alright, stop playing the victim. Tell me, what do you want?"

"VIP!"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up instantly, and then he revealed a shameless face.

"Director, you see, if I leave, the Nandou team won't be complete. Why don't I take them all with me and let them make a name for themselves with me?"

"Cough cough cough~! Ptooey ptooey!"

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Wu Jianming nearly choked on his cigarette smoke. He coughed hard to feel better and glared at Lu Yuan.

"I was trying to be nice, but you're pushing your luck and trying to cut my artery!"

"I'm doing this for the sake of the Nandou team."

"No need for you to worry. If you reconsider, my hard-earned team will truly be yours."

"You spoke so eloquently just now, I thought you were very generous, not even giving it to five people."

"Is it a matter of numbers?"

"Alright, alright, I'll take two."

Lu Yuan, seemingly unwilling to argue further, spoke directly.

Give me Sun Baoyu and Liu Jingfeng.

"The two of them."

Wu Jianming stared at Lu Yuan again, then suddenly smiled.

"Were you eyeing those two from the very beginning?"

Well...

"They were a bit lax before, but they've been doing well lately. I'm really reluctant to let them go."

"director……"

"Alright, what can I do? You're my favorite general."

Wu Jianming waved his hand and said directly.

"Here's what we'll do: you go and tell them that if they're willing, you can take them with you."

"Thank you, Director!"

Lu Yuan was overjoyed; it was done.

After a slight pause, he suddenly asked another question.

"By the way, after I leave, who do you plan to replace Qi Sha in the Nan Dou team?"
