Chapter 1018: Mount Rainier Spring
Chapter 1018: Mount Rainier Spring
The cameras on the floating island captured Morgan's entire return, and the staff responsible for filming were ecstatic—this was big news!
Mona, who had always been fond of Alice, was in an excellent mood.
So, for the first time, she allowed the Skrulls to release video clips of her appearance, rather than cutting them out entirely.
The Skrulls, of course, were overjoyed and published the video online with minimal editing. They also invested an enormous amount of resources into promoting it.
The United Government's investment in this video was unprecedented. Once released, it spread across the internet, and ordinary people could hardly avoid seeing it.
And the video was captivating enough to grab everyone's attention.
Within an hour of its release, it went viral on all major social media platforms, causing a sensation across the internet!
People were excitedly discussing it on various social platforms:
"Whoa, the Third Prince is actually back!"
"Never thought I'd see the Third Prince alive!"
"Hasn't the Third Prince been studying abroad in the Holy Silver Federation for over 80 years?"
"That's right, it's been 80 years. I remember learning about his studies in my elementary school textbook. I'm 60 years old now!"
"Third Prince is amazing! He's already at the peak of the Seventh Rank at such a young age. This gives us hope for the future of the Sun Empire!" (Although Morgan is Manina's son, Manina gave birth to him at the age of 460. So despite only being a generation apart, Morgan is still young at 243, in the prime of his life.)
"Hope is an understatement. The Third Prince wasn't blinded by the outside world and is willing to return to lead us in the war. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry!"
"Not only did the Third Prince return, but he also brought a Holy Silver God-tier powerhouse with him!"
"It looks like the Holy Silver Federation still cares about us. We're definitely going to win this war!"
"Absolutely!"
"That new Holy Silver God-tier looks so cute. I wish I had a daughter like her!"
"Keep dreaming. She's a noble Holy Silver and is over 100 years old!"
"Did you notice? This is the first time we've seen the peak God-tier Mona at an official event."
"Yes, it's her first time, but she seems quite approachable..."
...
Alice's arrival and Morgan's return were significant for the Skrulls, especially for the people of the Sun Empire! The online discussions were nearly off the charts, with the volume far exceeding the historical peak of recent years!
But online discussions weren't enough.
In the real world, people took to the streets, waving their arms and cheering, spontaneously organizing celebratory parades.
Especially in the Sun Empire, the once quiet streets were suddenly packed with people, who were shouting and partying as if it were a carnival.
People were doing this for two reasons: one, they respected the Third Prince and were thrilled by his return, along with the support of a new God-tier from the Holy Silver Federation; and two, the recent war mobilization on Skrull had been incredibly oppressive, and now people were finally letting loose and venting their pent-up emotions.
Emperor Manina of the Sun Empire didn't want to dampen his people's spirits.
He quickly announced a general amnesty, releasing minor offenders and declaring a two-day national holiday to celebrate the Third Prince's return!
Upon hearing the holiday announcement, people's excitement reached new heights, turning the entire Sun Empire into a sea of joy!
...
...
...
The people of Earth were unaware of these events on Skrull.
While the Skrulls were on holiday, the people of Earth were not. In fact, given the current situation, they wouldn't even consider taking a break.
Most of Earth's inhabitants were working hard, strictly adhering to the "007" work schedule, striving to enhance their strength to survive the impending calamity.
The high-ranking powerhouses of Earth were also not resting. Besides logging in daily, they were planning their assault on the giant spring.
On March 23rd at 00:30, at the Mount Rainier Spring in Seattle, Washington, North America.
Thirty to forty aerial combat fighters and five to six troop transport ships hovered above the spring.
Earth's high-ranking powerhouses emerged from the fighters and ships, expertly forming an array in the sky.
Their goal was clear: to capture this spring at all costs.
The expressions on the faces of the high-ranking Blue Star officials were all extremely serious.
This time, they were not facing a simple spring that could be easily breached. The defenses of this spring were far more formidable than those they had encountered before.
The Rhenial Mountain Spring had two Scylar-level defenders stationed there. Not only that, but their Seventh-Rank defenders numbered around thirty to forty, and their Sixth-Rank defenders numbered in the hundreds!
Faced with such formidable defenses, the Blue Star side had to be extremely cautious. The battlefield was constantly changing, and a single misstep could lead to catastrophic losses. They had to be on their guard at all times.
In the base below, the Scylar defenders were also on high alert.
They all looked up at the overwhelming Blue Star forces descending upon them, their expressions solemn.
Not long ago, the long-range military command had issued a retreat order. They were to withdraw from the Rhenial Mountain Spring and head to the final stronghold, the Fushi Mountain Spring.
However, in the past two days, they still had to hold their ground at the Rhenial Mountain Spring. Even at the cost of great sacrifice, they must not retreat a single step. The Blue Star forces were coming in with great force, so their expressions were all very grave.
...
On the Blue Star side, Sixth- and Seventh-Rank players were setting up a massive formation in the sky.
Su Yu, Chenxing, and the venerable Yang Jian were flying in a triangular formation at the forefront, approaching the outermost force field shield of the base.
As they approached, the two humans and the cat were carefully observing the defensive layout of the Scylar base.
The Rhenial Mountain Spring was different from the nine springs they had breached before.
When they reached those nine springs, they were already empty, with only a few dozen Scylar high-rankers guarding the spatial rift, ready to leave at any moment.
The Rhenial Mountain Spring was different.
The Rhenial Mountain Spring had not yet begun its evacuation, and the base still had two to three thousand Scylar defenders and tens of thousands of support personnel.
Each defender was diligently guarding their post, some operating defensive weapons, some managing energy consumption, and some serving as energy batteries to power the force field shield...
Although these two to three thousand defenders were individually weak, their sheer numbers made them a formidable force.
Thanks to their efforts, the base's force field shield had even stronger defensive capabilities, and the defensive weapons were more flexible and versatile, far surpassing those of the previous nine springs.
...
Seeing the Blue Star forces approaching in large numbers, the two Scylar god-level defenders and three to four hundred high-rank Scylar defenders simultaneously took to the air, heading toward the direction of the Blue Star forces.
The two sides' auras clashed, their gazes meeting across the force field shield.
If gazes could produce sparks, the scene would already be ablaze.
Staring at the Scylar forces before him, Su Yu took a deep breath.
He did not intend to waste time and planned to capitalize on the moment to start the battle!
But just then, his electronic terminal suddenly received a message from the AI Blue Whale.
Hearing the "ding" notification sound, Su Yu was immediately startled.
The AI Blue Whale managed most of the Blue Star's data and had strong analytical and planning capabilities. It knew what Su Yu was currently doing.
Under normal circumstances, Blue Whale would not send a message at this moment to distract him.
The fact that it had sent a message meant that the message was extremely important and must be conveyed immediately, even if it disrupted the battle preparations.
Su Yu did not hesitate, taking out his electronic terminal to check the new message.
...
Chenxing, the cat, also knew the message must be important. As soon as Su Yu took out his terminal, she immediately jumped onto his shoulder, her face close to the screen, and asked, "What did Blue Whale say?"
Yang Jian, the venerable senior, and Zhong Feng did not receive the message. Seeing Su Yu shift his gaze to the electronic terminal, they also turned their attention to him, eager to know what Blue Whale had sent.
The message from Blue Whale was not very long, just over two pages. Su Yu quickly read through it all, but after finishing, his expression stiffened.
Noticing the change in Su Yu's expression, Yang Jian immediately asked, "Little friend Su Yu, what did Blue Whale say?"
"Well..." Su Yu thought for a moment.
After a brief consideration, he decided there was no need to keep the message a secret.
He then released a soundproof barrier, which rapidly expanded to encompass all the Blue Star high-rankers present.
Then he addressed everyone, "Blue Whale told me that just now, Saint Song sent a message to Donna—due to the principle of fair warfare, Saint Song has dispatched another god-level defender to join the Scylar forces."
“Another God-level? What gives them the right!” Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, the high-ranking officials of Earth were all boiling with anger.
Why did Saint Song keep boosting the Skrulls’ strength? Did she have a bias towards them?
The principle of "fairness in war" was meant to protect the weaker side, but now it was being exploited by the more powerful Skrulls!
Su Yu explained, "It's because the Skrulls had a traitor, that Cecilia. She was a spy planted by the Dark Energy Rebellion..."
The Earth side’s sixth-rank and above powerhouses were already aware of the Dark Energy Rebellion, so Su Yu didn’t hold back. He told them about Cecilia’s situation and Saint Song’s ruling.
Hearing it was due to Cecilia, the Earth powerhouses’ anger subsided somewhat.
However, a few were still unconvinced.
For instance, Old Lee was still fuming.
He angrily said, "A traitor among the Skrulls is their own problem. Why should they get reinforcements just because of a traitor?
We on Earth also had a Brandon who betrayed us. Can we use Brandon as a reason to ask Saint Song for reinforcements?"
"Ah!" Zhong Feng was in a headache: "Although Saint Song is indeed biased towards the Skrulls in this matter, Brandon and Cecilia are fundamentally different.
Brandon betrayed us and joined the Skrulls, which is an internal factor; Cecilia, on the other hand, betrayed the Skrulls by joining the Dark Energy Rebellion, which is an external factor and has little to do with our conflict."
"What’s the difference between internal and external factors?" Old Lee was still unconvinced: "So, if half of our Earth people joined the rebellion, would Saint Song send a bunch of reinforcements to fight the Skrulls on our behalf?"
"This..." Zhong Feng didn’t know how to respond.
According to the current ruling, if half of the Earth people joined the rebellion, Saint Song would indeed send a large number of reinforcements to make up for the remaining half!
In an even more extreme scenario, if 99% of Earth people joined the rebellion, leaving only 1%, would Saint Song send enough reinforcements to make up for the 99%? Would this war then become a conflict between the Skrulls and the Saint Silver Federation?
This would be absurd!
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
After a brief pause, Fujiwara Chika, with a pained expression, said, "But regardless, since Saint Song has made her ruling, we have no choice but to accept it, right?"
"Ah, we have no choice. We have no right to oppose Saint Song," Su Yu replied helplessly.
Although Su Yu was also furious, he could only sigh in resignation.
Saint Song was the supreme being of the Saint Silver Federation, and her rulings could not be challenged by Earth humans.
At this point, all they could do was grit their teeth and accept it.
"Forget it, everyone. Let’s not dwell on this," Su Yu removed the sound barrier and said to everyone, "Even if the Skrulls get ten more God-levels, we still have to keep fighting, right? Besides, one minus one, their strength hasn’t increased significantly.
Let’s focus on the battle at hand and put our emotions aside."
"Understood, Commander Su," the high-ranking officials of Earth responded.
Su Yu was right. Even if Saint Song sent reinforcements to the Skrulls, and these reinforcements were merely to fill the gap, not to enhance their strength, the Earth people had no choice but to continue down this path.
Saint Song’s power left them with no right to argue.
So, no matter what, they had to focus on the present.
Everyone forcibly suppressed their anger and returned to their positions in the formation, redirecting their attention to the battle at hand.
...
The Skrulls didn’t know what the Earth people were discussing earlier, thanks to the sound barrier. But after Su Yu removed it and said his final words, they could guess the content of the Earth people’s discussion.
Thinking that Saint Song had sent them another God-level, all the Skrull powerhouses wore smug expressions.
Saint Song was still on their side, and this was their greatest confidence in this war.
The God-level powerhouses, Le and Otar, flew at the forefront of the crowd.
Otar tightened his grip on his staff and shouted at the Earth high-ranking officials, "Earthlings, open your eyes and look at the defenses of our base.
With your current strength, how do you expect to break through this spring?
Best to retreat now and save yourselves the trouble."
