Chapter 745: A Massive Stir
Chapter 745: A Massive Stir
"Of course," the press spokesman said solemnly. "This gigantic dragon, who has colluded with the humans of Blue Star, is none other than Princess Coco of the White Dragon Clan!"
"Furthermore, we can reasonably deduce that Princess Coco's mother, the White Dragon Queen, is also involved and likely colluding with the humans of Blue Star!"
"I hope that Dragon Emperor Cadrigosa will hand over Princess Coco and the White Dragon Queen to us so they can assist with our investigation!"
The press spokesman's words were resolute and powerful.
The journalists, who had stumbled upon this major news, were overjoyed. They rushed to send the story back to their newsrooms as quickly as possible.
Soon, one breaking news report after another began to circulate.
...
The moment the press conference ended, the news immediately sparked a massive uproar on the internet!
The citizens who had just heard the news were all in disbelief.
Is this real?
The Dragon Clan actually colluded with the humans of Blue Star? And it involved the White Dragon Queen?
However, the evidence presented by the press spokesman left them no choice but to believe it. The black dragon that appeared on Dragon Island was identical to the black dragon within the Evolve game!
Furthermore, Prince Morgan had confirmed that no Sacred Dragon from the Dragon Star had come to their planet. This proved that Princess Coco must be colluding with the humans of Blue Star!
The comments section on the internet exploded:
"Is this real? The Dragon Clan on Dragon Island betrayed us?"
"Don’t be ridiculous. It’s not a betrayal of the Dragon Clan. According to the press spokesman, it’s likely that the White Dragon Queen colluded with the humans of Blue Star."
"No way. Why would the White Dragon Queen collude with the humans of Blue Star? What benefit could they offer?"
"Who knows? Maybe it’s about genetics! The dragons on Dragon Island are clearly not as strong as the dragons in the Evolve game. They might be trying to introduce superior genetics..."
...
Speculations on the internet were endless, and the Dragon Clan found themselves at the center of a storm of public opinion.
A small group of netizens mercilessly denounced the Dragon Clan, accusing them of betraying the Skrell Star and calling them "traitors."
Another small group of netizens had a favorable view of the Dragon Clan and strenuously defended them, arguing that the evidence provided by the United Government was flawed.
Most netizens, however, were on the sidelines, waiting to see how the situation would develop.
...
Subsequently, the United Government, led by Manina, fanned the flames, aggressively expanding the scope of the public discourse.
Learning from their experience over the past three days, they, like Master Zhu and Cindy Doppler, spent money to buy traffic, top posts, trending topics, and promotional pushes, and flooded the comments with likes and shares.
The United Government's online resources far surpassed those of the Backer Kingdom and the Makadon Kingdom.
Under their deliberate manipulation, the overall public opinion swelled and quickly engulfed the entire internet within a few hours.
By midday, the major platforms were almost entirely devoid of any discussion about the "United Government fabricating false accusations against the humans of Blue Star." Instead, it was all about the "White Dragon Queen betraying us."
The scope of the public opinion had expanded to an unimaginable degree!
...
In the study of the Makadon Kingdom's royal palace.
The palace's AI system projected a massive screen on the study’s wall, displaying the online discussions to His Majesty, Master Zhu.
Watching the discussions online, Master Zhu felt helpless.
The United Government’s move was too ruthless.
"White Dragon Queen Betrays," this was a huge news item at any time, far surpassing the impact of the accusations of propaganda fabrication.
If his predictions were correct, the public's attention would swiftly shift to this, and no one would be interested in continuing to discuss the propaganda fabrication.
It can be said that the United Government won this move.
However, this also left Senior Zhu puzzled: "How did Zhong Feng manage to contact the Dragon Clan?"
The last time he met Zhong Feng, Zhong Feng didn't mention anything about the Dragon Clan, and he had no clue about this matter at all.
But upon closer reflection:
He had studied Zhong Feng's movements in great detail.
Zhong Feng only appeared on the action route map on the third day after the Blue Star's Tier 6 powerhouses arrived on Skru. This matches perfectly with the timeline provided by the United Government.
Moreover, Zhong Feng met Princess Keke, the White Dragon, as soon as he arrived on the Blue Star. This indicates that the Dragon Clan must have had prior contact with humans.
Of the Blue Star humans who previously visited Skru, only three were there: him, Su Yu, and Chancellor Cao.
First, he could be ruled out, as Chancellor Cao was always active in the Wasteland Continent, far from Dragon Island.
That means Su Yu must have already established contact with Dragon Island before this?
"Su Yu is quite capable. How did he manage to connect with the Dragon Clan?" Senior Zhu thought, marveling at the same time.
The Dragon Clan on Dragon Island shouldn't look favorably upon Blue Star humans, right? What means did Su Yu use to establish contact with them?
But he decided to think about this later. There was an urgent matter he needed to attend to right now.
He thought to himself, "Since Su Yu has a connection with the White Dragon Queen, she can be considered our ally.
We can't let this ally fall into the hands of the United Government. I must do something about it."
With that, he quickly rose and flew out of the palace.
...
Sindy Doppler's reaction was almost identical to Senior Zhu's.
After watching the live broadcast of the press conference, he was equally amazed that Blue Star humans could establish contact with the Dragon Clan.
Although the Dragon Clan has a Divine Dragon, they have always been treated as a subordinate race by the Sun Empire.
For a subordinate race of the Sun Empire to ally with outsiders, this was like a fire breaking out in the backyard, wasn't it?
He had no idea how this would play out.
...
At the same time, at the Blue Star's Alps Mountain Giant Spring.
After watching the press conference, Dragon King Cadrigus was equally astonished.
He was unaware of what was happening on Skru, and while he had heard rumors of the "United Government's propaganda," he didn't take them seriously.
It wasn't until the "Homeworld Liaison" in the base sent him the video that he realized the situation had landed on his head!
To be honest, he couldn't believe the White Dragon Queen would ally with Blue Star humans. They considered Skru people as insignificant insects, let alone the even weaker Blue Star humans.
But the evidence provided by the United Government was compelling, leaving him no choice but to believe it.
A month ago, he did hear about a Black Dragon from Holy Dragon Star visiting Dragon Island and staying for three days.
At that time, he had to remain at the Alps Mountain Giant Spring and couldn't return to Dragon Island, so he had the Black Dragon King return to handle the reception.
But he never expected that the Black Dragon had become a Blue Star human! He went to Dragon Island not to reveal his identity but to secretly contact Princess Keke...
Thinking this, Dragon King Cadrigus couldn't sit still anymore.
With such a significant event, he, as the Dragon King, had to return to Dragon Island to take charge. He couldn't afford to stay out of it!
Dragon King Cadrigus transformed, revealing his 80-meter-long blue, slender body.
With his wings that blocked the sky, he soared through the spatial rift back to his homeworld.
