Chapter 873: The Fall of Hayden Solars
"Senior Zhu, has anything significant happened on Skrull recently?" After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Su Yu asked Senior Zhu.
"Ever since Prime Minister Cao left Skrull 20 days ago, all communication with Skrull has been cut off," Senior Zhu replied, his expression somber. "But it's fortunate you're still here, or we wouldn't have a way to quickly grasp the current situation on Skrull."
At Su Yu's question, all the cultivators present turned their attention to Senior Zhu.
After a moment of thought, Senior Zhu responded, "If you're talking about significant events, then yes, there is... Seven days ago, the seventh-rank powerhouses of the Solars Empire, Duke Hayden Solars, were completely wiped out. His entire family, numbering in the hundreds, was executed. Not a single soul survived."
"Completely wiped out?!" The crowd of cultivators was taken aback.
Duke Hayden Solars, a former captive of the Blue Star, was well-known among the players. The one who dared to destroy a seventh-rank powerhouse and his entire family must have been...
"Indeed, it was Emperor Manina XIII himself," Senior Zhu confirmed with a nod. "The reason given was that Duke Hayden Solars was accused of secretly hunting and slaying dragons, even those of the Dragon King rank. This act not only harmed the relationship between the Skrull people and the Dragon, but also tarnished the trust between the two. Now, despite his actions, Duke Hayden Solars was determined to take the scapegoat. He and Su Yu shared a moment of silence, while the events unfolded.
"From the information I gathered last time, the 'Lindragon' research institute and the royal house were completely unaffiliated with the dragon clan. There should be no connection between Duke Hayden Solars and the Blue Star," Senior Zhu explained, "Now, with the death of Duke Hayden Solars, Emperor Manina XIII decided to bring the scape ofit. It was a significant event, but it also highlighted the logical flow. The Solars Empire's actions were driven by the emperor's desire to clear their name of the black pot. They saw a way significant step, and the tension in the room was palpable. Despite the emperor's actions, the dragon clan was determined to forgive and move on. However, the impact of the events on Skrull and the Blue Star was undeniable.
Manina decided to show some mercy to the ordinary humans of Blue Star, only plundering the planet's psychic energy without causing widespread slaughter. This approach significantly improved the acceptance of the Skrull populace.
As the Skrull populace's support for the Skrull United Government increased, the support for the anti-union organizations naturally plummeted. As a result, the anti-union organizations struggled to make progress over the past 20 days.
"However, things have improved a bit in the last three days," Elder Zhu said finally. "Three days ago, the Skrull people ransomed 30,000 captives from Blue Star. These captives accused the Skrull United Government of lying and spreading false information, which has slightly improved our situation."
Twenty days ago, Su Yu and Chancellor Cao led high-ranking cultivators and players to attack the Alps Spring. After capturing the spring, the 28,000 troops and 3,000 tourists who were left behind became captives of the Blue Star humans.
The Blue Star humans did not mistreat the captives but treated them as they would any other prisoners of war, sending them to prisoner camps for reeducation.
After being treated well, most of the captives were grateful to the Blue Star humans.
Three days ago, the Skrull United Government spent a large sum of money to ransom these captives back.
Upon their return, the captives immediately took to social media to accuse the Skrull United Government of spreading false information and praised the Blue Star humans.
Due to the sheer number of returning soldiers accusing the government, the Skrull United Government could not punish them all, leading to a slight improvement in the situation for the anti-union organizations.
Listening to Elder Zhu's account, Su Yu thought to himself, "The anti-union organizations are having a tough time. I should go see Cindy Doppel soon and find out how she's doing."
Su Yu did not overlook his old friend Cindy Doppel just because the Skrull resistance bases were growing. On the contrary, he was well aware of Cindy's capabilities.
If they were to overthrow the Skrull United Government, Cindy Doppel would be a crucial part of the plan, even more important than the Dragon Clan and the Bald Eagle Clan.
Su Yu made his decision—he would take Emperor Liu Che to the country of Beck to meet Cindy Doppel immediately.
There was no need to keep the plan a secret anymore; it was time to lay everything out clearly for Cindy.
...
...
After a brief rest in the cave, the Blue Star cultivators and players set out according to their respective plans.
Su Yu took Emperor Liu Che and a portion of the team to Beck to meet Cindy Doppel, delivering a batch of newly crafted spatial rings to her.
Zhong Feng and Chancellor Cao led the teams with the newly made equipment and potions to the Dragon Clan and the Bald Eagle Clan to complete the transactions and establish resistance bases.
Yun Zhongmu and Ice Black Tea, along with a few assassin mages, headed to the small countries around G2 to cause chaos and plunder wealth.
Qianbei Buzui and Fujiwara Chika led a group of sixth-stage players and high-ranking cultivators to the Wildlands to hunt magical beasts and gather materials.
Xiao Tian went to meet the Rhinoceros Spirit Clan and continued exploring the Wildlands, planning to activate the Final Secret Realm again.
Xiao Tian chose the timing for activating the Final Secret Realm carefully.
The Blue Star cultivators agreed to gather in the Wildlands seven days later, and Xiao Tian would activate the Final Secret Realm at that time to allow as many Blue Star cultivators as possible to enter.
After exiting the Final Secret Realm, the Blue Star cultivators could return directly to Blue Star, saving time and energy.
