Chapter 814 The Victim
Manina was not the only one in Manina's study, but also the Minister of Intelligence, Xiong.
Xiong saw that His Majesty was in a bad mood and did not dare to say a word. He stood in front of Manina and did not dare to breathe.
After a long time, he whispered: "Your Majesty, have the Blue Star people really mastered the method to open the 'End Secret Realm'?"
"Who knows?" Manina looked at Xiong and did not comment: "Maybe they really got the method to open the secret realm, or maybe they are throwing smoke bombs, both are possible. But Xiong..."
Manina said to Xiong seriously: "Next, the focus of your intelligence department's investigation should be on this girl named... named..."
"Your Majesty, her name is Xu Xiaotian."
"Okay, put it on this little girl from Blue Star named Xu Xiaotian, and find out her route of action after arriving at Skru Star.
If it is true that she can open the secret realm, then within this month, we must get the method to open the secret realm before her, understand?"
"Understood!" Xiong replied quickly. How dare he not agree to what His Majesty ordered?
"Okay, go and get busy." Manina waved his hand.
However, Sion had no intention of leaving. He bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there are two more things I need your instructions for, both of which are very important."
"Oh? What are they?" Manina looked at him.
"The first thing is about the dragon clan." Sion said: "You promised to give the dragon clan an explanation within 7 days. Now 3 days have passed. What should we do?"
Hearing this question, Manina did not answer immediately, but looked at Sion with interest.
Until Sion was so hairy and sweaty on his back, he slowly said: "About this problem. I have already thought of a way.
At this point, we must sacrifice something, and this sacrifice cannot be small. Ordinary dignitaries cannot calm the anger of the dragon clan. It must be a great noble."
"Who do you... plan to sacrifice?" Sion asked in a low voice.
"Haydn Lieyang." Manina uttered a name.
"Duke Haydn!" Xiong's face turned pale instantly, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
His Majesty the Emperor actually wants to sacrifice Duke Haydn, this is a big deal!
But... it seems reasonable.
...
Haydn Lieyang is the distant cousin of Emperor Manina XIII, a seventh-level lower-level strongman, the Duke of the Empire, the core force of the royal family, and the lord of Linlong City.
There are only five seventh-level strongmen in the Lieyang family. As one of them, Haydn Lieyang is of course very powerful.
However, Haydn Lieyang and His Majesty the Emperor have different political views.
As early as the past few hundred years, the two of them have had many disputes on large and small topics, and they are political enemies with sharp contradictions.
As for the recent events, Haydn Lieyang was captured by the Blue Star people. After returning from the Blue Star people's prisoner-of-war camp, he actually spoke for the Blue Star people!
That incident dealt a heavy blow to the emperor's reputation and handed a knife to the anti-union organization. The emperor hated him to the bone, so it was completely reasonable for him to "sacrifice" him at this time.
And there is another very important point - as the lord of Linlong City, Haydn Lieyang has done a lot of things to kill dragons privately, but he has not been caught.
Now the emperor really wants to sacrifice him, and there is a lot of evidence to find!
"My dear brother, it seems that you have to make some sacrifices for the family." Manina murmured with narrowed eyes, and a few cold flashes in his eyes.
Xiong knew very well that he couldn't continue on this topic. If he continued to talk, he would probably be silenced because he "knew too much".
He immediately changed the subject: "Your Majesty, the second thing is Prime Minister Gordon. Prime Minister Gordon is ready."
"Ready? Then let him act without delay!" Manina showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Although it is a pity to lose this chess piece, we can create some trouble if we can, and hope to take away more Blue Star people."
As for Prime Minister Gordon, the matter dates back to four days ago.
Four days ago, the Lieyang Palace was secretly infiltrated and a large amount of confidential information was leaked.
Among these confidential information, the Skrulls' plan to secretly cultivate Pacific Prime Minister Gordon was also leaked.
Later, after speculation, the intruder was most likely a Blue Star human!
Since the intruder was a Blue Star human, the "Gordon" secret line was scrapped.
Since it has been scrapped, let him "self-destruct" before he dies! It can also be regarded as a waste utilization, take as much as you can.
So Manina approved it very readily.
…
…
Just as Manina approved the order, on Dragon Island east of the Lieyang Empire.
In the center of Dragon Island is a towering extinct volcano with an altitude of about 3,700 meters.
Originally, this was actually an active volcano, but under the management of successive Dragon Kings, this active volcano that posed a huge threat to the dragon race eventually became a extinct volcano.
A huge dragon nest was built on the foothills on the south side of the volcano. This is the largest dragon nest on the entire Dragon Island and the residence of Dragon King Kadrigos.
In the dragon nest at this time, Kadrigos was chatting with Zhong Feng.
There were only the two of them in the huge dragon nest, which seemed a bit empty.
In the center of the dragon nest, Dragon King Kadrigos was lying on a huge golden mountain, looking very listless.
His entire dragon seemed to have aged hundreds of years, and had completely lost its original spirit.
In fact, the corpse of the Red Dragon King he saw three days ago gave him a huge blow, and he almost collapsed.
When he really saw the Red Dragon King floating in the giant psychic tank, Kadrigos felt like a sharp knife stabbed into his heart, and the pain made him unable to breathe.
The Skrulls had gone too far, but he could not find out the real mastermind behind the scenes to avenge the Red Dragon King, and could only return to Dragon Island in a cowardly manner.
If they continue to be cowardly like this, the only way waiting for the Dragon Clan is destruction.
However, the Dragon Clan is not the only way to die. If the Blue Star humans can really defeat the Skrulls, the Dragon Clan may still have a chance of survival.
In the dragon's nest, Kadrigos used his mental power to communicate with Zhong Feng: "Zhong Feng, what kind of strength can you humans on Blue Star achieve when the war begins?"
"Your Majesty the Dragon King, it's hard to say, because we don't know how difficult it is for players to advance to the eighth level in the game "Evolution"." Zhong Feng answered seriously:
"But what is certain at present is that we can have at least 3 eighth-level strongmen.
Prime Minister Cao Cao is now at the peak of the eighth level;
Senior Yang Jian, as the only senior who has lived from the prehistoric era to the present, he will definitely be able to restore the strength of the eighth level;
Su Yu, I don't need to introduce more.
The rest, like me, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and Emperor Liu Che, have the opportunity to advance to the eighth level, but I dare not guarantee it 100%."
