Chapter 372: 372, Current situation of Prime Minister Cao Cao, arrival at Beak Country_1

Moreover, the news went on —

Because of this decree, Lun Kete Alliance Chairman Cass condemned the Raging Sun Empire, accusing them of harboring criminals.

The Raging Sun Empire’s spokesperson countered, stating that the Lun Kete Alliance treats people’s lives as worthless, having sacrificed over a hundred thousand lives in vain. Not only that, Lun Kete also failed to keep the criminal from escaping!

God-level powerhouse Pu Langte even personally attended the press conference and bluntly said:

“The Lun Kete Alliance has been toyed with by Blue Star people three times in a row, first the Floating Island was destroyed, then hundreds of thousands of civilians in the slums died for nothing, and finally, the seal on the Floating Island was destroyed a second time.

Given these facts, how are we supposed to believe that the Lun Kete Alliance can lead the Skru people in conquering Blue Star?

The Lun Kete Alliance should cede command of the expeditionary force, the invasion of Blue Star should be led by our Raging Sun Empire!”

Over 95% of the citizens in the Raging Sun Empire expressed support for Pu Langte’s statement.

More than 80% of the citizens in the Lun Kete Federation voiced opposition, their reasoning being – although our country did not perform well, your country would do much worse!

Both sides engaged in a historical epic war of words on the public stage, which for a while caused a heated and turbulent scene across all internet platforms.

…

Zhu Guorui had mixed feelings about this information.

On the one hand, he was glad the internal strife amongst the Skru was intensifying – surely this would be a good thing for Blue Star;

On the other hand, he worried that under these circumstances, the Lun Kete Alliance would spare no effort in capturing Su Yu to save face, further endangering Su Yu.

Zhu could not offer any help, he could only hope for the best for Su Yu.

After chatting for about ten minutes, the waiter, Huai Te, stood up and respectfully saluted Zhu Guorui, “Your Highness the Third Prince, I will take my leave now! You must practice diligently and not let His Majesty down.”

“Don’t worry.” Zhu Guorui waved his hand, picked up his meal box from the table, and returned to the depths of the cave to continue absorbing spiritual energy and practicing cultivation.

What he needed to work on now was refining his plans. He needed to develop further strategies for the small country of Makadun.

…

At the same time, on a continent on the other side of the planet.

Skru Star consists of six continents, Skrus dominate four, the remaining two continents are home to flora and fauna, almost devoid of Skru and referred to as – The Primitive Continent.

In the forests of the Primitive Continent, a swarm of Pikachu, otherwise known as electric mice, were battling a pack of silver wolves for food and territory.

There were thousands of Pikachu.

They combined their forces to weave a high-voltage electric net and hurled it towards the densest part of the wolf pack.

Yet these wolves seemed to have high resistance to the electric attack as they appeared unscathed, instead becoming more vigorous.

With a ferocious counterattack, the wolves caused the mice to fall in droves under their claws.

Just as the Pikachu felt fear and were about to retreat, a purple Pikachu unexpectedly appeared in the center of the battlefield.

“Pika Pika!” The purple Pikachu cried out, encouraging its companions, then rushed into the wolf pack and attacked the alpha wolf in the center.

The surrounding Pikachu thought it had gone mad, that it was on a suicide run!

However, against all odds, this Pikachu swung its claws, killing the surrounding wolves before they even had a chance to react.

It instantly cut through the wolf pack, not a single wolf, including the alpha, could block its blows, they all fell under its claws.

Inspired, the Pikachu let out cries and cast their electric nets to hold off the remaining wolves.

With the help of the other Pikachu, the purple Pikachu effortlessly killed all the wolves, leading the Pikachu to victory.

“Pika Pika!”

The Pikachu were overjoyed.

They hopped and skipped over to the dead wolves, dug transparent crystal cores from their skulls, and presented them to the purple Pikachu.

These crystal cores were the power sources of the wolves, containing vast spiritual energy.

The purple Pikachu accepted these blood-smeared crystal cores without hesitation.

Then it raised its head to look towards the east, and suddenly, a sentence in Chinese sprang from its mouth: “The location of the treasure in Su Yu’s map should be in this area, I can instruct the Pikachu to look for it… I wonder how Su Yu and Mr. Zhu are doing…”

The purple Pikachu shook its head and directed the subordinate Pikachu to disperse and start scavenging for treasure around the area.

…

The scene shifts back to Su Yu and Morning Star.

They had arrived at the capital of Beak Country — Beak City, having just disembarked the plane.

Taking a bus from the airport to the city center, the bustling city of Beak City came into view.

In fact, Beak Country is not a small country, in terms of overall strength, Beak Country ranks third on Skru Star.

However, there is a huge gap between Beak’s “third” and the first and second ranked Lun Kete and the Raging Sun.

To use an imperfect analogy.

If we compare the overall strength of Lun Kete and the Raging Sun to that of the US and Soviet Union in the 1960s, then Beak’s overall strength would be comparable to India at that time, having a limited bit of influence on the world stage.

Adjacent to the Lun Kete Alliance, Beak Country is greatly influenced by it, and cares deeply about LGBT rights, vegetarianism, and animal protection and such.

However, Beak Country differs from other countries in one respect – they oppose the invasion of Blue Star.

There are two political parties in Beak Country, the “Beak Progressive Party” and the “Anti-Union Organization”.

Both parties oppose going to war with Blue Star, but while the “Anti-Union Organization” opposes the war, they also oppose the Skru Union Government.

The “Beak Progressive Party” is currently in power, they oppose the war but do not oppose the Skru Union Government.

In two months, Beak Country will hold a parliamentary election to select the new ruling party. Both parties are preparing for the election battle, trying to obtain as many votes from the electorate as possible.

…

Arriving in the city center, Su Yu stepped off the bus and looked around the city before him.

In terms of prosperity, Beak City is slightly less developed than Treyna City, with no awe-inspiring structures over 4000 metres tall. But overall, it is still a rather impressive city on Skru Star.

Morning Star has now turned into a yellow Pikachu, perched on Su Yu’s shoulder.

Once they got off the bus, she teased Su Yu via telepathy, “Let me guess, the first thing we are going to do is to visit the slums in the city and take control of a gang leader, right?”

This could be considered Su Yu’s standard procedure, every time he visits a new place, he does just that, yeah.

“No, you’re wrong this time.” Su Yu slapped his chest where his life-saving tool, [Hearthstone], hung, “What I plan to do first is go to the outskirts of the city and bind the [Hearthstone] to the safest place possible.”

“And the second thing is to take control of a gang leader, right?” Morning Star did not lose heart.

“Not the second one either.” Su Yu replied with a smile.

“Then what is it?”

“You’ll see when the time comes!”

Su Yu went to a nearby bank and exchanged his Solar Yuan for Beak coins, then hailed a taxi to the outskirts of the city.
