Chapter 748: 21 Warriors Head to Skrul Planet (Part 1)
The four supreme dragons were in a foul mood.
Queen White Dragon feared for her daughter's safety and transformed into a pure white beam of light, shooting off toward Dragon Island.
Emperor Dragon and the remaining two Dragon Kings transformed into human form, heading to the waiting room below the spatial rift to rest, awaiting the end of the rift's contraction and oscillation.
Emperor Manina and Lance, however, had already flown back to Lance's office.
"Your Majesty, Princess Coco is definitely in trouble!" As soon as they entered the office, Lance stated with certainty, "Dragons are always impulsive. If Princess Coco were fine, Queen White Dragon would have agreed to use 'Mind Scan' on her immediately.
She definitely knows that Coco can't undergo a 'Mind Scan,' which is why she used the excuse of 'having secrets.'"
"You're right," Manina agreed with Lance. "It's certain now that Princess White Dragon Coco has secret ties with the Blue Star humans. But so what? We've achieved our goal anyway."
Manina's face broke into a pleased smile.
He walked to the side of the office, poured himself a cup of Lekor juice, took a sip, and then poured another cup for Lance.
Manina said contentedly, "Actually, we can't do much to Princess Coco.
The Great War is only five and a half months away, and we can't afford to offend the dragons at this critical moment.
Our goal is to shift the public's attention.
By pushing the talks with the dragons to this extent, we can further amplify the impact of the event, overshadowing the fake news."
Lance marveled, "Indeed, we've managed to do that. Now, the internet is flooded with discussions about the dragons, and public opinion is in our favor as the United Government!"
"Exactly," Manina drained his cup of Lekor juice and smiled, "Furthermore, based on today's observations, even if Queen White Dragon does have ties with the Blue Star humans, it's likely just some minor private transactions. She wouldn't be foolish enough to be swayed into fighting against our United Government.
If it's just some minor private deals, even with concrete evidence, we can't do much to Princess Coco. The dragon lineage is rare and highly protected.
My final threat was a reminder to them. I think they will behave for a while and won't dare to contact the Blue Star humans anymore."
"Your Majesty, you are truly brilliant!" Lance flattered, "The dragon clan is completely under your control!"
"Ha ha, nothing much," Manina laughed nonchalantly, "As the emperor of the Sun Empire, how could I not have a few tricks up my sleeve? Dealing with a few domesticated beasts is a piece of cake.
Lance, while the heat is still high, quickly spread this news. Tell Siwon to ensure that the majority of netizens know about this within a day."
"Understood!" Lance replied loudly.
...
With the full operation of the United Government's network department, the content of Manina's and the Dragon Emperor's meeting quickly spread across the internet.
Every word spoken by the emperor and the Dragon Emperor and Dragon Kings was sent online, without any omissions.
Seeing this news, all online communities immediately burst into heated discussions:
"It's clear the dragons are guilty! Why else would they refuse the 'Mind Scan'?"
"I don't think the dragons' refusal is entirely unreasonable. Princess Coco is of royal dragon lineage; they can't just let anyone scan her mind, can they?"
“
"You’re just looking for excuses to avoid it! Even if Lord Victoria saw any secrets, would she really reveal them?"
"I still can't understand why the Dragon Clan betrayed us?"
"It’s not really betrayal, more like hedging their bets. Many of these so-called 'balance masters' from small countries are acting the same way."
Online discussions remained intense.
Gradually, almost no one was talking about the 'false propaganda of the United Government' anymore.
The citizens of Skrul and Blue Star were pretty much the same, with only a couple of days' memory span.
...
The Blue Star people had no clue about the public opinion storms on Skrul. They had no means to investigate what was happening there, leaving them completely in the dark.
This was actually their biggest disadvantage.
If the Blue Star people had the ability to monitor Skrul's public sentiment, they could have launched an attack on the Alps Giant Spring when the Dragon Emperor left. With proper preparation, they could have taken it down.
However, the Blue Star people were unaware of what was happening on Skrul, not just Skrul but also the Dragon Emperor's departure from the Giant Spring. This put them at a significant disadvantage.
Moreover, they couldn't make up for this shortcoming, and it would remain a weakness until the final battle began.
However, during the period of public opinion turmoil on Skrul, the Blue Star people were also preparing for their next trip to Skrul.
On January 12th, a grand fleet of nearly ten levitation vehicles set off toward Donna's residence.
This time, 21 Blue Star cultivators participated in the operation, including 15 players and 6 ancient cultivators.
The 15 players consisted of all 12 from the previous trip, plus three more of Su Yu's old acquaintances—Crimson Eyed Dark Dragon, Veracity Range, and Unyielding Alliance.
There was a significant change in the team composition this time—Chancellor Cao joined the operation, leading the entire team!
Chancellor Cao was different from the others.
Apart from those like Zhong Feng and Xiao Tian, who had missions, the rest of the players were mostly there to hone their skills and gather resources on Skrul.
Chancellor Cao's main role was to oversee the operation, and also to establish contact and communication with the White Crested Eagle Clan on the Wild Continent.
The White Crested Eagle Clan was a powerful race comparable to the Dragon Clan on Dragon Isle. To engage in equal terms with them, a person of significant weight was needed.
Originally, Su Yu intended to go himself.
But he couldn't afford to waste time and needed to focus more on cultivation. Thus, the task of contacting the White Crested Eagle Clan was entrusted to Chancellor Cao.
Chancellor Cao, wielding the hilt of the Sword of Ten Thousand Admonitions, had reached the peak of the Divine Rank!
And in the past two months, he had been diligently practicing various concealment spells, even developing a set of astonishing concealment techniques based on Su Yu's Invisibility, Snow Leopard's Concealment, and Stealth.
This time, he wouldn't be chased around the continent by Skrul Divine Rank Warriors.
He could even hide in the shadows and carry out more daring actions, just to see if the Skrul people were prepared for a peak Divine Rank stealth attack.
