Chapter 817: 874, The Sacrifice
Manina’s study was not occupied by Manina alone, as the Minister of Intelligence, Xi Weng, was also present.
Seeing that His Majesty was in a bad mood, Xi Weng did not dare to make a sound and stood in front of Manina, hardly daring to even breathe.
After a very long time, he asked in a quiet voice, “Your Majesty, have the Blue Star Humans really mastered the method to open the ‘Final Sanctuary’?”
“Who knows?” Manina looked towards Xi Weng, neither confirming nor denying, “Perhaps they have truly obtained the method to open the sanctuary, or maybe they are just bluffing. Both are possible. However, Xi Weng…”
Manina solemnly said to Xi Weng, “Next, the focus of your intelligence department’s investigation must be on a girl named… named…”
“Your Majesty, her name is Xu Xiaotian.”
“Alright, focus on this little Blue Star girl called Xu Xiaotian and find out her movements after arriving on the Skru Star.
If what she claims about opening the sanctuary is true, then within this month, we must obtain the method to open the sanctuary before she does, understand?”
“Understood!” Xi Weng quickly replied. How could he dare not agree to what His Majesty commanded?
“Alright, you may go and attend to it,” Manina dismissed with a wave of his hand.
However, Xi Weng did not seem to intend to leave. He respectfully said, lowering his head, “Your Majesty, there are two other matters that I must receive your instructions on, both of which are extremely important.”
“Oh? What matters?” Manina looked at him.
“The first matter is about the Dragon Race,” said Xi Weng. “You promised to give the Dragon Race an explanation within seven days. Now three days have already passed. What should we do?”
Hearing this question, Manina did not immediately answer but looked straight at Xi Weng with keen interest.
It was not until Xi Weng had become so nervous that he was sweating, that Manina said leisurely, “Regarding this matter, I’ve had a plan for a long time.
Given the situation, we must make some sacrifices, and these sacrifices cannot be small; ordinary nobles are not enough to quell the Dragon Race’s fury. It must be a high-ranking noble.”
“You… plan to sacrifice whom?” Xi Weng asked in a quiet voice.
“Haidun Rieyang,” Manina uttered a name.
“Duke Haidun!” Xi Weng’s face turned pale instantly, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.
The Emperor was actually planning to sacrifice Duke Haidun—this was a matter of great significance!
However… it seemed to fall within reason.
…
Haidun Rieyang was a distant cousin of Emperor Manina XIII, a Seventh Order lower rank powerhouse, a Duke of the Empire, a core force of the Royal Family, and also the Lord of Lin Long City.
Within the Rieyang family, there were only five Seventh Order powerhouses, with Haidun Rieyang being one of them, his influence was naturally immense.
However, Haidun Rieyang disagreed with the Emperor on political matters.
For the past several hundred years, they had many disputes over various issues, and each stood as a sharp political adversary to the other.
Speaking of recent events, after being captured by the Blue Star People and returning from their prisoner of war camp, Haidun Rieyang actually spoke on behalf of the Blue Star People!
This incident greatly tarnished the Emperor’s reputation and handed a weapon to the anti-union organization. His Majesty held deep-seated hatred for him, so wanting to use this opportunity to get rid of him was completely within reason.
Furthermore, there was another important point—Haidun Rieyang, as the Lord of Lin Long City, had also committed his share of private atrocities against the Dragon Race, he just had not been caught red-handed.
Now that His Majesty truly wanted to sacrifice him, finding evidence would be as easy as picking it up by the handful!
“My dear cousin, it seems you must make some sacrifices for the family,” Manina muttered with his eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing in his gaze.
Xi Weng was very clear that he should not continue on this topic; if he did, he might be silenced for “knowing too much.”
He immediately shifted the topic, “Your Majesty, the second matter involves Prime Minister Gordon. Prime Minister Gordon is ready.”
“Ready? There’s no time to delay, let him take action immediately!” Manina’s mouth showed a hint of a cold smile, “Although it’s a pity to lose this chess piece, if it can cause some trouble, then let it cause some trouble. I hope it can take a few more Blue Star people with it.”
As for Prime Minister Gordon, the matter dates back to four days ago.
Four days ago, the Raging Sun Royal Palace was secretly infiltrated, and a large amount of classified intelligence was leaked.
Among this classified information was the Skrull people’s secret plot to cultivate the Prime Minister of the Pacific nation, Gordon, which was also disastrously exposed.
Subsequently, it was speculated that the infiltrator was very likely a Blue Star Human!
Since the infiltrator was a Blue Star Human, the “Gordon” covert line was considered compromised.
Since it was already compromised, might as well have him “self-destruct” at death! It could be seen as recycling waste, taking as many down with it as possible.
So Manina approved the plan without hesitation.
…
…
At the same time Manina approved the order, on Dragon Island to the east of the Raging Sun Empire.
At the center of Dragon Island was a towering extinct volcano, approximately 3700 meters in height.
Originally an active volcano, it had, through the management of successive Dragon Emperors, been transformed into an extinct one, thereby nullifying the significant threat it posed to the Dragon Race.
On the southern slopes of the volcano, a colossal dragon nest was constructed, the largest on the entire Dragon Island, and also the residence of Dragon Emperor Kadrigos.
At this moment within the dragon nest, Kadrigos was conversing with Zhong Feng.
Only the two of them occupied the vast dragon nest, making it seem somewhat empty.
In the very center of the dragon nest, Dragon Emperor Kadrigos lay atop a massive mountain of gold, looking utterly listless.
He seemed as if he had aged hundreds of years, devoid of the vigor he once possessed.
In fact, the body of the Red Dragon King had dealt him a tremendous blow, nearly causing him to break down.
Seeing the Red Dragon King’s body floating in the giant Energy Can, Kadrigos felt as if a sharp knife had been plunged into his heart, causing him pain so intense that he could hardly breathe.
The Skrull people had overstepped to such an extent, but he was unable to uncover the true mastermind behind the scenes to avenge the Red Dragon King. He could only return to Dragon Island in a defeated manner.
If they continued on in this pitiable state, the only path awaiting the Dragon Race would be destruction.
However, there wasn’t just one path leading to death in front of the Dragon Race; if the Blue Star Humans really managed to defeat the Skrull people, the Dragon Race might still have a glimmer of hope.
Within the dragon nest, Kadrigos used spiritual power to communicate with Zhong Feng, “Zhong Feng, what level of strength do you Blue Star People expect to achieve when the great war begins?”
“Your Excellency Dragon Emperor, that’s hard to say, because we still don’t know how difficult it is for players to advance to the Eighth Order in the Evo Game,” Zhong Feng replied earnestly:
“However, what’s certain for now is that we will have at least three Eighth Order powerhouses.
Prime Minister Cao Cao has already reached the peak of the Eighth Order;
Senior Yang Jian, as the only senior who has lived from the primeval era to the present, will certainly be able to regain Eighth Order strength;
Su Yu, I need not say more about her.

As for the rest, including myself, Emperor Taizong, and Emperor Liu Che, we all have a chance to advance to the Eighth Order, though I can’t guarantee it with one hundred percent certainty.”
