Chapter 1871 by Marina Vittori

“Sir Judd, it’s true that they’re spies. However, I truly don’t know anything about this.

“I’ve told you everything that happened these two days. May lightning strike me if I hid anything from you,” Julius promised.

Reagan chuckled at his response.

“Don’t be so anxious. I’m just joking.” Reagan patted his shoulder and smiled.

“Of course, I believe you. The two spies should be under Rufus. He had them secretly follow you as he feared you would run away.”

“Rufus is a cunning man that could do anything. It’s normal for him to have such a plan. It’s fortunate that you arranged everything properly and managed to find out the spy in time.

“Otherwise, the location of the base would have been revealed,” Julius said in relief.

“We still don’t know how much information did they get. However, West Lucozian monarchy should have already gotten the base’s location,” Reagan replied calmly.

“They already know? What should we do? Should we retreat?” Julius raised his eyebrow. With a smile, Reagan replied, “Retreat? There’s no need to be frantic. Although the monarchy already knows where our base is, they don’t know how many troops and weapons we have.

“To be honest, with our base’s defense system, even the West Lucozia’s strongest Black Dragon Army would require over a hundred thousand troops to break through.

“There’s a problem, though. There’s no way I wouldn’t be informed if they mobilized that many troops. Thus, Rufus should be the one worrying, not me.

“He isn’t aware of the situation in our base, so he wouldn’t dare to send any troops here. If he sent too few soldiers, he’d be walking right into my trap and incurring unnecessary losses.

“If he mobilized a large army, I would quickly notice it and retreat in time. In other words, Rufus is powerless against me.

“I can choose if I want to fight or retreat. I’ll fight back if I can and escape if I can’t.

“After all, it’s just a base. I can build it back in no time. Grand General Rhys, what do you think Rufus is going to do? “In the end, Reagan shot the question back to Julius.

Julius shook his head helplessly. “Well The location of your base is very strategic. It’s up to you if you want to fight or retreat. If I were Rufus, I would be at a loss on what to do.”

“That’s why you don’t need to worry at all. You just need to stay here. Once we get rid of the poison in your body, we should increase our influence.1

“With your influence in West Lucozia, I’m sure a lot of people will support you, “Reagan replied, smiling.

“That’s true. However, I won’t have any chance if Rufus doesn’t die.” Julius sighed.

“Don’t worry. Rufus won’t live for long. Although he managed to escape this time by faking his death, he has depleted his energy.

“In simpler terms, his body is gradually declining. He only managed to prolong his life by relying on his substantial resources and panacea these years.

“Now that panacea has lost its effect, Rufus will get weaker. If he’s lucky, he can live for another half-year. Or else, he’ll be dead in days.

“This means we can rise again without waiting for too long. By that time, you’ll be the influential king of West Lucozia. The entire world will be under our control!” Reagan uttered like a psychic.

Julius was thrilled when he heard that. ” Fantastic! As long as Rufus dies, I’ll have the chance to make a comeback. I can snatch everything back that I lost!”

“That’s right. Here’s to a successful partnership.” Reagan stretched out his hand.

“A successful partnership!” Julius felt rejuvenated.

“Bring out the wine! Julius and I won’t be returning until we get drunk!”
