Chapter 451: 450, Swallow Six x Tai Er √_1
The Central Intelligence Agency of the Skru Star Raging Sun Empire.
Inside a large meeting room on the fourth floor of the headquarters.
Minister Xi Weng semi-reclined in a soft leather chair at the end of the conference table, sipping from a cup of Leko Bug juice, identical to what his majesty, the Emperor, drinks, and holding a cigar from Blue Star in his left hand.
The cigar was a tribute offered by the bugs of the Blue Star, and he enjoyed its flavor very much.
On both sides of the table were several top-ranking men and women from the intelligence agency.
At the moment, they all watched the projection on the wall opposite the table with serious expressions.
The projection displayed Su Yu’s live stream.
Su Yu and Tina were preparing to attack Base 1054, also known as the “Swallow Six” base named by the people of Blue Star.
Observing the images on the live stream, Lake, the head of the Intelligence Collection Department who sat on the side of the conference table, flattered Xi Weng, “Minister, you are indeed prophetic! You effortlessly predicted Su Yu’s movements!”
This morning at 8 o’clock, the Minister had prophesied that Su Yu would continue to attack the Yan Mountain area in the evening, and his prophecy happened to come true!
“That’s not a big deal.” Xi Weng waved his hand nonchalantly, breaking his cigar into two and started munching on it delightfully:
“In fact, it’s not difficult to guess. The large-scale Base 056 has been eradicated by the Blue Star people. They will surely want to eliminate the small bases near 056.”
“Furthermore, the Yan Mountain range is very close to Su Yu’s imperial city, making it a perfect place to establish a base. All of this is within my expectations.”
“The minister is wise!”
“Truly deserving of being the minister!”
“Oh, why didn’t I think of that? The minister is really amazing!”
A series of sycophantic compliments rang out in the meeting room.
Even though Xi Weng appeared nonchalant on the surface, he felt immensely proud of himself.
…
The live stream is still ongoing.
As Tina prepared to use [Cross Slash] to attack the base’s barrier, Xi Weng grew even more triumphant.
This morning, after he prophesied that Su Yu would attack the smaller bases on Yan Mountain, the Emperor issued instructions.
By now, most of the Skru troops in those small Spring Eyes had withdrawn, leaving some “surprises” for Su Yu—a set of high-explosive bombs!
If Su Yu accidentally activated those bombs, even a Sanctuary-level warrior would have a tough time dealing with the aftermath!
Xi Weng took a comfortable sip of Leko Bug juice, patiently waiting for Su Yu to fall into the trap.
But Su Yu’s actions didn’t pan out as he had anticipated.
Su Yu reached out and put his hand on Tina’s shoulder: “Tina, wait a minute.”
“What’s wrong?” Tina turned and looked at him.
Instead of answering directly, Su Yu spoke to the live stream camera, “Everyone, hang on a bit. I’ll restart the stream shortly.”
Then the image went dark.
About thirty seconds later, Su Yu started the live stream again.
However, the background of the live stream had changed; anyone with sharp eyes could immediately tell that the base in the live stream was not the previous Swallow Six base.
Su Yu smiled at the camera and said, “Hello everyone, this is the ‘Tai Er’ base located in the Taihang mountain range. Today we’re going to live stream our assault on this place.”
The live chat was suddenly filled with strings of question marks.”
Splash!
Upon hearing the interpreter’s translation, Xi Weng spat out all the bug juice in his mouth, and his subordinates also opened their mouths wide in shock.
How could this be?
Just half a minute ago, Su Yu was in Yan Mountain. Why is he on Taihang Mountain now? Could it be that Su Yu sensed their plan?
“Is he going to attack from the east instead?” and “Did he advance a thousand miles to Taihang Mountain?” were the questions flooding the live chat.
Su Yu smiled and explained to the viewers:
“There was something wrong with the previous Skru base. Other proper bases are fully operating their ‘monster factories’, but that base was operating their Psychic Energy Storage Station. The people inside probably wanted to run and take as much spiritual energy back to the Skru Star before they went. For safety’s sake, we chose a proper base instead.”
The live chat was then filled with comments saying, “So that’s why.”
Upon hearing the translation of Su Yu’s words, Xi Weng’s face gradually darkened.
Indeed, after the Skru troops withdrew from several bases in the Yan Mountain, continuing to use psychic energy on the “monster factories” became utterly pointless.
But he didn’t anticipate that the retreating commander would spontaneously stop the “monster factory” and fully operate the “Psychic Energy Storage Station”.
What’s more surprising was that Su Yu saw through the flaw so quickly.
…
Su Yu continued to explain in the live stream, “There are a total of 10 Psychic Spring Eyes in the Taihang Mountain range, one of which is a large Psychic Spring Eye. There are only 7 large Psychic Spring Eyes in our country, and one of them is located on the main peak of Taihang Mountain, Xiao Wu Tai Mountain.”
“The remaining 9 are all small Spring Eyes. The ‘Tai Er’ base we are at now is located on Bai Shi Mountain in Laiyuan, Ji Zhou Province…”
Like a tour guide, Su Yu described the scene in detail.
However, he and Tina didn’t slow down their mission.
Tina launched [Cross Slash] to penetrate the weak spiritual shield of the Tai Er base, and the two of them rushed in, targeting the location of the base commander.
The Skru base commander had a strength of only four peak stages.
Seeing the godlike Tina fly in, the commander immediately knelt down without hesitation, raising his hands high and stuttering in Chinese, “Don’t kill me, I surrender.”
…
Xi Weng couldn’t bear to watch any longer.
“Firefly, shut down the live stream!” He instructed the AI.
“Understood.” The main control AI of the intelligence department immediately responded, and the next second the live stream was shut down.
All the high-ranking members of the intelligence department turned their heads to look at their chief.
Although their chief seemed to have had his face slapped, they didn’t dare show any disrespect. After all, their superior was at least powerful enough to intimidate others.
Xi Weng also felt somewhat embarrassed.
He stood up, “I am going to see His Majesty. You all remain here; do not move.”
…
About fifteen minutes later, Xi Weng met His Majesty in the palace garden. The great Emperor was playing in the flower bushes with his concubines.
Hearing of Xi Weng’s arrival, the Emperor quickly dressed and came out to meet him.
“Xi Weng, what is it?” The Emperor’s face was a bit displeased.
“It’s like this, Your Majesty,” Xi Weng quickly explained Su Yu’s recent moves.
Hearing his words, Manina XIII narrowed his eyes slightly.
However, his focus was slightly different from Xi Weng’s, “To cover such a long distance in half a minute, Su Yu must have used a [Long-Distance Teleportation Circle], right? Such a technology is really enviable.”
Spells like [Flash Skill], [Teleportation Portal], and [Long-Distance Teleportation Circle] are pretty common on Blue Star, and many wizards can use them.
But in reality, they are at the pinnacle of magic technology.
Skru Star is a civilization skewed towards technological development, and in terms of technology, “Spatial Displacement” is a very high-threshold technology. So far, Skru Star hasn’t mastered it yet.
So seeing Su Yu teleporting so rapidly, he felt quite envious.
“So, Your Majesty, what should we do? Should we get the 074 large base ready for battle?” Xi Weng asked anxiously.
“Let me think.” Manina XIII fell into deep thought.
