Lanfu Base City.

Towering 200-meter-high metal walls, bristling with crenelated battlements and cannon barrels, stood like a metallic forest. They had a blood-like hue under the glow of the setting sun.

Lanfu was the largest base city in the northwest. It was once the provincial capital of the northwest region in Great Xia and home to over four million people. It also served as the administrative, economic, military, and transportation hub of the region, so it had been hailed as the Jewel of the Northwest in Great Xia.

Now, however, it had declared its independence from Great Xia. It had become the main stronghold of the Xie family. The Xie family had a history in Great Xia of over four hundred years. Their ancestor, Xie Renwang, was among the second generation of bloodline experts during the global star beast mutation era. At his peak, he had reached the Saint Realm, the height of martial cultivation at the time.

Xie Renwang had rendered great service in the wars against the star beasts. When stability began to return to Great Xia, he became the guardian Saint stationed in Lanfu Base City. Under his protection, the Xie family had thrived. By three hundred years ago, thanks to Xie Renwang’s legacy, the Xie family had risen to become the foremost martial arts family in the northwest.

Their influence spread far and wide. The family’s influence had infiltrated all aspects of the region’s political, economic, and military spheres, establishing itself as an unshakable titan.

Ten months ago, Yiggs had torn apart the Starry Sky Accord and launched a massive invasion of Great Xia. The Xie family, once considered a trusted and significant power within Great Xia, not only failed to resist but immediately switched allegiances.

They acted as the Yiggs’ collaborator in the northwest as they wasted no time in raising the banner of rebellion. In the early stages, they swiftly executed Great Xia officials within Lanfu Base City who refused to cooperate with them. Then, they declared the northwest region's independence.

Now, the entirety of Lanfu Base City operated under an oppressive and absolute reign of terror. The Xie family continued to purge dissenters while waging relentless campaigns of war. The flames of battle had engulfed the northwest. Base cities were seized, slaughtered, and plundered one after another.

Five days ago, the news of victory arrived. The last remaining base city in the northwest still loyal to Great Xia, Liuhe, had fallen to Xie Qingzhi. With this, the Xie family had completed their conquest of the northwest region. Now, bolstered by propaganda from media outlets and influential figures, the Xie family had begun actively preparing for the establishment of their independent nation.

Large numbers of Yiggs, Europeans, Bayerians, and Africans had flooded Lanfu Base City. These outsiders, driven by innate savagery and madness, brought oppression and cruelty along with them, turning this historic jewel of Great Xia into a filthy and corrupt haven for adventurers and opportunists. The Yiggs held the highest status among them, asserting dominance over all others.
