Chapter 524: 500 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles Launched (Catch-Up)
At the Skrull base on Mount Elbert, Lieutenant Jenevieve was reporting to Emperor Thirteenth Manina and Commander Rance on Skrull.
"Your Majesty, Commander Rance," Jenevieve said with a radiant smile, addressing the communication screen.
"I have not let you down. I have successfully completed the mission!"
"At Yunlu Mountain, our suicide squad successfully destroyed the Holy Light Camp. Without the 'Holy Angels' unit, the Blue Star humans' ability to recruit troops will be significantly weakened."
"In the Indian Nation, our armed Blue Star special forces have successfully occupied the 'Nuclear War Headquarters' and now have control over 2,150 nuclear warheads!"
"Among these, 500 are intercontinental ballistic missiles. With the current technology level of the Blue Star humans, they cannot effectively intercept them. Moreover, we have seized enough missile launchers to fire them at any time!"
Jenevieve spoke the truth; with the current technology of the Chinese nation, intercepting intercontinental ballistic missiles was still impossible. Otherwise, Chairman Hu would not have been so disheartened.
After hearing Jenevieve's report, Thirteenth Manina and Rance were extremely pleased.
Thirteenth Manina gave a thumbs-up gesture to the camera and smiled, "Jenevieve, you have completed your mission brilliantly. After this operation, I will grant you the title of Viscount and a viscount's domain as a reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jenevieve's smile grew even brighter, and her cheeks flushed with joy.
However, she didn't let her excitement overwhelm her and quickly added, "Your Majesty, the success of this operation is mainly due to Commander Rance's excellent planning. I merely followed the plan."
Rance quickly chimed in, "I couldn't possibly take that much credit. The main credit goes to Your Majesty. Without your guidance to change our strategy and cultivate rebels on Blue Star, we wouldn't have had this success today."
Jenevieve immediately agreed, "Yes, it's all thanks to Your Majesty's guidance!"
"Ha ha, that's enough!" Thirteenth Manina laughed heartily, clearly pleased with the flattery from his subordinates. "Similarly, Rance, your reward will not be lacking after this operation. I will elevate your title to Count, grant you a count's domain, and also give you the opportunity to enter the 'Sunspring'!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Rance, usually composed, was elated.
The "Sunspring" was a treasure of the Sun Empire, with water that was almost solidified psychic energy. Generally, only members of the royal family and ministers who had made significant contributions were allowed to enter.
Now, with this opportunity granted by the Emperor, Rance's strength could reach new heights, and he might even advance to the divine level within his lifetime. How could he not be overjoyed?
"You're welcome, this is what you deserve," Thirteenth Manina said generously, waving his hand.
But then, Jenevieve asked, "Your Majesty, when will we launch the 500 intercontinental ballistic missiles? I think we shouldn't delay too long, as delays can lead to complications."
Thirteenth Manina shook his head, "No, Jenevieve, you are mistaken."
Jenevieve looked puzzled, "Why? Your Majesty, you don't agree with launching them now?"
Thirteenth Manina shook his head again, "No, my point is that we should not delay. We will launch them now, but we need to change the targets."
This time, both Jenevieve and Rance were confused, "Your Majesty, where do you want to change the target to?"
Manina the Thirteenth didn't hesitate to answer, "Of course, we should change the target to Su Yu's location!"
He explained, "Our original nuclear strike was aimed at the mercenary camp on Yunlu Mountain. But now that the Saint Light Camp has been destroyed, the Blue Star Summoning Force has been significantly weakened and is no longer a major threat. Naturally, we should focus on our 'old friend' Su Yu!"
After finishing his explanation, Manina the Thirteenth turned to Jeanne, "Jeanne, do you have real-time surveillance of Su Yu?"
"Of course," Jeanne quickly moved the camera to the main control panel.
The central screen on the main control panel showed a real-time view of the seawater palace where Su Yu was located. The palace was still pulsating like a heart, radiating a spectrum of colors. Senior Tao, Jun Shiyi, and King Arthur stood guard in front of the palace.
However, from the real-time footage, it was clear that Su Yu wouldn't be coming out anytime soon.
Manina the Thirteenth nodded after seeing the footage and asked, "Su Yu will likely stay inside for a while, right?"
"That's correct," Jeanne replied.
"What about the three cultivators outside the palace? What are their strengths?" Manina the Thirteenth inquired further.
"Your Majesty, their strengths are: one at the peak of the Fifth Rank, one at the early Sixth Rank, and one at the mid-Sixth Rank."
"Perfect!" Manina the Thirteenth's lips curved into a cruel smile. "Three cultivators won't be able to withstand 500 ballistic missiles. Launch them at Su Yu now. I want him dead!"
"Understood!" Jeanne replied.
Jeanne decisively pressed the nuclear button.
500 pre-prepared intercontinental missiles roared out of their silos, piercing through the clouds.
Two minutes later, led by Senior Yang, ten Great Cultivators successfully arrived at the seawater palace.
Seeing the reinforcements, Jun Shiyi and King Arthur both breathed a sigh of relief.
Jun Shiyi smiled and greeted the Great Cultivators, "Senior Yang, fellow Daoists, you've finally arrived!"
However, the Great Cultivators didn't respond. Instead, they stared at him with distrust, as if he were a thief.
Jun Shiyi was taken aback, "Fellow Daoists, what's going on?"
Emperor Taizong flew to the front and scrutinized him, "Jun Shiyi, did you surrender to the Skrulls?"
Jun Shiyi looked bewildered, "What are you talking about? That's impossible!"
Emperor Liu Che also stared at him with caution, "Then why did we receive your message to leave Yunlu Mountain, only to have it attacked right after?"
"What? Yunlu Mountain was attacked? I didn't know that!" Jun Shiyi continued to defend himself. "Please believe me! I have no ties with the Skrulls. My cultivation method grants me some foresight. I sensed that Su Yu might be in danger, so I called everyone here!"
Seeing Jun Shiyi's sincere expression, the Great Cultivators exchanged glances.
Jun Shiyi's sincerity seemed genuine, not feigned.
Could they have wronged Jun Shiyi?
The Great Cultivators were hesitant.
...
However, just as the Great Cultivators were wavering, Senior Tao, who had been silent, stepped forward and loudly declared behind Jun Shiyi, "I knew it! I was sure of it!"
