Chapter 1085: Violation of the Principles of Fair Warfare
Chapter 1085: Violation of the Principles of Fair Warfare
"..." The group, including Yun Zhongmudi, remained silent, still stunned by being discovered.
Hayden Leryang?
Apart from Yun Zhongmudi, none of the others had heard this name before.
Yun Zhongmudi never expected that Hayden Leryang could see through their invisibility and find them! How did he manage to do that?
"Hmph!" Seeing that the humans remained silent, Hayden Leryang scoffed.
He reached into his spatial ring and pulled out a glowing silver bag.
This bag contained a substance called Revelation Dust.
This dust was expensive and, when spread over an area, could clearly reveal any invisible or stealth units.
Moreover, the Revelation Dust in Hayden Leryang's hand was of the highest quality, which he had saved up for three months of exploration points to purchase.
Even if Yun Zhongmudi were a God-tier, this bag of Revelation Dust would still be effective against him.
Hayden Leryang didn't hesitate.
With a wave of his hand, the silver dust scattered like stardust, instantly covering the area where Yun Zhongmudi and his group were hiding.
Soon, the figures of Yun Zhongmudi and his companions were exposed, their silhouettes clearly visible in the silver glow.
Seeing these silver figures, the nearby Skrull forces immediately stirred.
Without waiting for Hayden Leryang's command, they quickly surrounded the area, trapping the daring Blue Star humans.
At this moment, Yun Zhongmudi and the other seven 6th-tier mages realized their plan had failed.
They hadn't even gotten close to the newly constructed disintegration tower before being surrounded by the Skrulls. Destroying the tower was now impossible.
"Ah, it looks like our plan has failed," Yun Zhongmudi sighed, dispelling his invisibility and facing the vast sea of Skrulls.
Since they were already exposed, maintaining invisibility was pointless.
"Yeah, and we couldn't even send the message out. It seems we'll die in vain," Tianyuan Muge used her mental powers to communicate with the others, her tone filled with frustration.
If they could have destroyed the disintegration tower, their deaths would have been worth it.
But now, they hadn't even touched the tower and were about to die here in humiliation. She couldn't help but feel resentful.
"Actually, it's not entirely in vain," Zato Jianglizi tried to boost their spirits, consoling them, "At least we've shown the humans a wrong path. Future generations won't be as foolish as we were, sneaking into the enemy's base. That's our only contribution, I guess."
"Zato-san, you're so kind," another Japanese player, Suzuki Genri, tightened her grip on her staff, "Let's go out with a bang then! Pulling one of them down with us would be worth it!"
"Wait a moment."
Yun Zhongmudi patted Suzuki Genri's arm, signaling him to hold back.
Then, Yun Zhongmudi lifted his head and stared directly at Hayden Leryang, shouting, "Before I die, can you tell me how you discovered us?"
Hayden Leryang smiled slightly, about to speak.
But before he could, the white-clad Skrulls and the Skrull high-ranking officers around him interrupted:
"Why should we tell you?"
"Yeah, do you think our God-tier can't hear us now?"
"Do you think we're stupid enough to reveal our secrets like that?"
"Cunning Blue Star scum."
...
Amidst the taunts, Yun Zhongmudi remained unfazed.
His gaze was fixed on Hayden Leryang, as if the others didn't exist.
Morgen Leisun was momentarily taken aback by Yun Zhongmudi's gaze.
Then, he smiled and said, "Actually, there's no harm in telling you this, so you can die with a clear conscience. You’ve seen the white-robed Skrullians beside me, haven’t you?"
"I have."
"In fact, we are a newly formed organization called the 'International Students Association.'"
"International Students Association?... International students, oh! I get it now!" Yun Zhongmudi suddenly understood.
His mind worked quickly, and the moment he heard the term "international students," he pieced together the situation.
However, Yun Zhongmudi's quick thinking didn’t mean everyone else was as sharp.
Michelangelo’s son was confused and asked in broken Chinese, "International students? What about international students?"
Pastoral Song was also very intelligent. A few seconds after Yun Zhongmudi figured it out, she also understood everything.
Hearing Michelangelo’s son’s question, she answered for him, "I think it goes like this:
Since this white-robed organization is called the 'International Students Association,' they must all be international students.
Given his status as the son of Emperor Leisun, his study abroad destination couldn’t be another country on Skrull, so it can only be one place—the Holy Silver Federation."
"Holy Silver Federation's international students? That makes sense!" After Pastoral Song’s explanation, the other six-stage mages immediately grasped the key points.
Being international students from the Holy Silver Federation explained why they could detect them.
The eight Blue Star mages’ powers all came from the Evolution game, which was created by the Holy Silver Federation.
The professions and spells in Evolution were directly derived from the Holy Silver Federation, though they were simplified versions.
The Skrull international students had spent a long time in the Holy Silver Federation and had undoubtedly been exposed to the Mage profession. They would have certainly seen spells like Invisibility.
Having seen these spells, it wasn’t surprising that they had a few methods to counter them.
The Blue Star mages had never expected to find such a group of international students in the Skrull base, so they were likely caught off guard at some point.
...
"You’ve got the upper hand this time," Yun Zhongmudi sighed, resignedly. "No wonder you’re all in white clothes. Now everything makes sense."
There was a reason why international students wore white.
The reason was simple—the Holy Silver people loved white!
The Holy Silver people generally had blue skin, and white complemented blue beautifully, so most of their clothing was white.
Like Donna and Link, they often wore white clothes.
The students had studied in the Holy Silver Federation for many years. Although they once considered white unlucky, they had been influenced over time and had grown accustomed to wearing white.
Yun Zhongmudi couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of regret. He never expected they would be undone by this.
But he quickly thought deeper—since these white-robed Skrullians were international students and he had just seen international students directing Skrull craftsmen to build the disintegration ray towers, it meant that these towers were likely brought back by the students as technology from the Holy Silver Federation.
Time was of the essence, so Yun Zhongmudi decided to ask.
He immediately called out, "Can I ask one more thing? Are these disintegration ray towers the technology you brought back from the Holy Silver Federation?
Using technology that surpasses your civilization’s level violates the 'principle of fair warfare,' you know?"
