Chapter 621: Three Plans, Multiple Fronts
Lan Qi and Plante both stroked their chins thoughtfully upon hearing the names of the three plans.
The names of these plans were straightforward, giving a general idea of what they entailed just by hearing them. However, Manina still provided detailed explanations:
"Let's start with the first plan—'Absolute Defense.'
Lord Plante, the 'Absolute Defense' plan requires you and Lord Vitoria to keep a close eye on Cao Cao and Su Yu. We can allow the humans of Blue Star to access the smaller psychic springs, but if Cao Cao and Su Yu target the larger and giant psychic springs, you and Lord Vitoria must intervene to stop them. I believe you understand the importance of this, don't you?"
The divine beings, led by Plante, were immensely powerful, but Manina, the Thirteenth Generation, actually had to orchestrate their actions.
However, the failure of the 'Green Crown Bird' operation made Plante and Vitoria responsible, which is why Manina dared to propose such conditions.
Plante initially didn't want to focus too much energy on Blue Star, but since Cao Cao was his responsibility, he had to take charge.
With a deep voice, he replied, "Alright, I'll coordinate with Vitoria and Stiem. The three of us will take turns keeping a close watch on Cao Cao and Su Yu."
Manina secretly sighed in relief upon receiving Plante's assurance. These divine beings were used to doing as they pleased, and if they didn't agree, Manina would have no way to deal with Cao Cao and Su Yu.
He continued:
"The second plan is the 'Explosive Mining' plan.
I've decided to implement 'Explosive Mining' on all the smaller psychic springs on Blue Star. Lan Qi, transport all the 'Anti-Gravity Crystal Drills' from the treasury to Blue Star and use them to the fullest extent possible."
The term 'Explosive Mining' was an apt metaphor—like killing a hen that lays golden eggs.
The psychic energy reserves in Blue Star's mantle were abundant. The smaller psychic springs, conservatively estimated, could spout for over a thousand years without any issues.
Using the 'Anti-Gravity Crystal Drills,' we can extend the reach of the psychic springs and extract a massive amount of psychic energy in one go. The extraction volume could reach the equivalent of 50 to 100 years of natural outflow!
However, the cost was significant.
The 'Explosive Mining' plan had over a 95% chance of causing the psychic spring to dry up permanently, never to spout again.
So it was like "killing the hen that lays golden eggs."
The Skrulls hadn't considered such extreme measures before. They aimed to occupy and sustainably manage Blue Star, avoiding such short-sighted and destructive actions.
But the situation has changed.
The pressure from the Blue Star humans was immense. If they continued with the old approach, the Skrull expeditionary forces would be overextended and might be dragged down by the war.
Meanwhile, the Blue Star humans, after swiftly capturing the smaller psychic springs, would grow even stronger.
Thus, they had to adopt this scorched-earth tactic to gain a massive amount of psychic energy to support the ongoing war and to suppress the growth of the Blue Star humans.
The cost of depleting the psychic springs was far less than losing the war.
Hearing Manina's words, Lan Qi was shocked.
He urgently interjected in the video call, "Your Majesty! The council will never agree to this decision! The initial joint treaty explicitly states that 'psychic springs must not be destroyed in any form,' especially not with 'Anti-Gravity Crystal Drills'!"
The Skrull council was a distribution organization. After occupying Blue Star, the council would divide the land among all member states based on their contributions to the war.
However, no member nation wants their share of the land to have a depleted psychic spring after explosive mining. Therefore, the treaty explicitly states this point.
Manina glanced at Rance, preparing to respond.
But before he could answer, Plante interjected, "The situation has changed, Rance. Follow what Manina said. If anyone asks, tell them it was my decision."
Rance's face alternated between green and blue, but he finally replied, "Understood."
Manina let out a sigh of relief and continued, addressing the video screen:
"Next is the final plan, the 'Bald Eagle' plan."
The "Bald Eagle" is a divine beast on Skrull, the king of eagles.
Their population is incredibly powerful, almost on par with dragons. The Eagle Emperor of the Bald Eagle clan is one of the 18 divine-level beings on Skrull!
The reason this plan is named "Bald Eagle" is because "Bald Eagle" has another unique meaning among the Skrull people—traitor.
The terms "Bald Eagle" and "traitor" are essentially synonymous.
The Bald Eagle clan originally had a symbiotic relationship with the Skrull people. The rise of the Skrull people led to the Bald Eagle clan's strength, providing them with vast habitats and psychic resources.
However, thousands of years ago, the Bald Eagle clan, after their wings were fully developed, betrayed the Skrull people and established their own territory, thriving ever since.
Therefore, in the Skrull common language, "Bald Eagle" and "traitor" have the same meaning.
The "Bald Eagle" plan is also the "Traitor" plan.
Manina continued in the video, "We previously planted a pawn on Blue Star—Prime Minister Gordon of the Pacific Federation. Now is the time for this pawn to play its part!
We will use the existing surrender faction on Blue Star to their fullest extent, giving them as much support as possible to create the maximum trouble for the Blue Star United Government.
With the three plans in place, we can easily withstand the BlueStar people's offensive. Later, I will find a way to dismantle the BlueStarUnited Government from the inside."
"Understood, Your Majesty!" Rance solemnly promised, "I will implement these three plans immediately! The 'Explosive Mining' plan will definitely be completed within a month, and the 'Bald Eagle' plan I will entrust to Janieve, ensuring she pushes it with all her might."
Plante also nodded, "I will keep an eye on all three plans. I'll handle the high-tier experts of Blue Star. I'll wait for the Blue Star people, and we'll talk more later."
As Plante spoke, his mental power scanned the distant approach of a large Blue Star force. So he ended the call and focused on dealing with the incoming Blue Star experts.
After Plante hung up, Rance and Manina had nothing more to say. They exchanged a few words before continuing with their own tasks.
The scene returned to Blue Star, to the giant psychic spring at Mount Kunlun.
About ten minutes earlier, Su Yu and his companions, along with the Grand Cultivators led by Chancellor Cao, successfully rendezvoused and headed toward the giant psychic spring at Mount Kunlun.
As they flew, Chancellor Cao used relevant departments to capture images of the spring and the Skrull base, using his mental power to sense the Skrull deployment.
Once he had a good grasp, he addressed Su Yu and the Grand Cultivators behind him, "I have basically scouted the base's interior. Now I will give you a detailed account of the Skrull deployment. Listen carefully!"
"Understood!" Su Yu and the Grand Cultivators responded in unison.
