The high-definition pictures and even 3D holograms captured from multiple angles happened to be captured from the shoulder of Blackstar the Great's magnificent statue, capturing the soul-stirring scene where millions of people were moving. Even though there was no sound, one could imagine the deafening roars on the spot.
Such professional shooting techniques could've only been performed by the veterans who had been in the media industry for decades.
Even before the crying took place, they had to find the right angle to capture the scene. For example, the angle on the shoulder of Blackstar the Great's enormous statue couldn't have been found in such a hurry.
Therefore, it was not a video that the people on the spot took casually but a premeditated one!
Furthermore, the media that belonged to the Li family even managed to interview one of the elders of the Imperium of the Li family in only a few minutes with unbelievable efficiency!
"… It is certainly a great pity that such an incident has happened, but the generals and veterans who are caught in desperation cannot be blamed. Instead, the highest authorities should reflect carefully on why the generals and soldiers who have made great contributions in the frontline and sacrificed everything for the Imperium can only express their voices in such a way?"
Faced with the crystal camera, the elder surnamed Li said solemnly, "Human beings are the strongest fighting species in the sea of stars. It has been passed on from the age of the Star Ocean Imperium to this day and has become our belief. The army is the cornerstone of the Imperium. If the cornerstone collapses, the Imperium of True Human Beings and the entire civilization of mankind will be gone!
"In the past ten years, we have secured glorious victories in the frontline. All the people are invigorated, but the unprecedented victories were earned with the blood and sweat of the generals and soldiers in the frontline. Right now, we are merely reclaiming the lost territory. One day, we will march to the nest of the Holy League, completely annihilate the Alliance of the Holy Covenant, and unite the sea of stars. By then, won't the soldiers have to continue sacrificing themselves and making contributions to the civilization of mankind?
"If the soldiers who have made great contributions are treated in such a way today, who will be willing to serve the country in the future? I think that the Council of Elders, especially Dongfang Wang's cabinet, should consider and resolve the problem properly! "
The reporter asked the elder surnamed Li whether it was his personal attitude or the stance of the Li family. The elder surnamed Li smiled and said, "The incident happened too suddenly, and I only received the news a moment ago. Naturally, this is only my personal attitude, but I believe that anyone who is sincerely thinking for the Imperium and the civilization of mankind, regardless of whether they are from the Li family, the Yun family, or the Dongfang family, will have the deepest sympathy for the generals and veterans who are crying in the Emperor's Mausoleum and express the strongest indignation for the culprits who caused everything!
"To put it more seriously, this is' shaking the foundation of the country '. Shouldn't someone stand out and take responsibility for such a thing? Next, let's wait and see how the highest authorities and Prime Minister Dongfang Wang will resolve and investigate thoroughly! On behalf of myself, I can only solemnly promise to all the people and fellow Cultivators that I will fulfill the most sacred mission of an elder of the Imperium and supervise the cabinet to solve the problem! "
Even though Dongfang Wang had been the leader of the Dongfang family for forty years and the prime minister of the Imperium for twenty years, his internal organs were almost exploding in fury.
It was because he remembered clearly that, when they discussed how to deal with the retired generals and the disabled veterans a few days ago, the Department of National Defense proposed a plan that the four Kurfürst families would pay a sum of money first and distribute it as "special subsidies" so that those guys could be appeased before the incident of the Blood Oath Alliance was completely settled.
In the end, Elder Li was the first to jump out and complain. He was stingy and stingy, not even willing to fork out half a copper coin.
Since the elder surnamed Li led the boycott, the elders of the other families naturally echoed. Even the elders of the Dongfang family did not give their opinion, which put Dongfang Wang on the spot for a long time. In the end, the issue was left unsettled and "discussed slowly".
But today, the elder surnamed Li was shameless enough to declare "divine supervision to solve the problem" in front of all the people through the media. He even pointed at Dongfang Wang's cabinet by name. The "prime minister of iron and blood" was so infuriated that he almost had the urge to kill someone.
However, after the momentary fury, he felt even more coldness. The elder surnamed Li was obviously not a random person. His words must represent the attitude of the Li family. What was going on exactly?
Like a fat Buddha in meditation, Dongfang Wang pondered expressionlessly. Two new pieces of news came over.
Firstly, the origins of the million veterans had been figured out. Such an enormous crowd could not be concealed at all. The intelligence organization of the Dongfang family soon figured out that they had come with the Li family's fleet, landed in the defense area that the Li family was responsible for, and marched all the way to the Emperor's Mausoleum under the escort of the Li family!
Secondly, "Silver Fox" Li Jiande, the leader of the Li family, had an attack of his disease "again" and was on the verge of death. It was said that he had passed out, and Li Mingxuan, his seventh son, was temporarily performing the duties of the leader of the family.
Slightly dazed, Dongfang Wang sighed.
With everything coming to this point, he completely understood everything.
"Leader."
A tall, brawny servant walked into the office and said aggressively, "Our troops have been gathered on the east side of the Emperor's Mausoleum and are on standby. We are ready to enter and suppress the rebellious rebels at any moment!"
The servant was a trusted subordinate that he brought out from his family. Therefore, he addressed him as "leader" instead of "prime minister".
"Asshole!"
Dongfang Wang did not have so many concerns in front of his personal guard. He glared at him and said, "Stay where you are and do not act recklessly. Remember, beware of the enemy's intentional provocation. Do not attack!"
Now that he was known as the "prime minister of iron and blood", Dongfang Wang was certainly not a man who was stingy in the use of force.
If all the connections inside and outside the Emperor's Mausoleum were cut off, and the Spiritual Nexus and the media were under his control, chances were that Dongfang Wang would really settle the issue quickly and quietly.
But right now, it was obvious that the Li family, one of the four Kurfürst families, was fanning the flames behind the scenes. One moment of carelessness, and the four Kurfürst families would completely fall apart, which was a result that the prime minister of the Imperium absolutely did not want to see.
Besides, why was the Li family confident enough to attack him at such a moment? It was tantamount to a full-scale attack on the Dongfang family. What was the Li family counting on exactly? Did they have any powerful backup plans or fatal moves? Those were all questions that had to be figured out first.
Most importantly of all, the media and the Spiritual Nexus of the other three families had been blocked, and the Li family was the only one who occupied the propaganda high ground. If any friction did happen, what would the outside world see and hear? How would he, the prime minister of the Imperium, be slandered?
While Dongfang Wang was considering whether or not he should send the media of the Dongfang family to the Emperor's Mausoleum immediately, another piece of shocking news came over.
A small fleet was breaking into the Emperor's Mausoleum by brute force!
"It's not our men."
His personal guard connected the live picture in a hurry. Naturally, the picture was from the media of the Li family too. "Our troops are confronting the Imperial Guards on the east side of the Emperor's Mausoleum. We will absolutely obey the command of the leader of the family. We are only blocking the area and will not have any conflict with the enemy or attack the Emperor's Mausoleum. Ah. This is —"
While the guard exclaimed in disbelief, Dongfang Wang narrowed his eyes and stared at the sky of the Emperor's Mausoleum on the picture.
Under the contrast of more than ten low-altitude assault warships, a gold, glittering devil was growing larger and larger. Very soon, it revealed the most dominating and cool appearance in the blue sky that was cloudless.
It was a Colossus that could not have been more eye-catching in gold.
The violent flames of spiritual energy spurting out of the Colossus formed two golden wings almost a hundred meters long on the left and the right. There were even words on the wings, which were:
"Gold Vulture!"
"Vulture Li Yao!"
…
In front of the enormous statue of Blackstar the Great on the central axis of the Emperor's Mausoleum …
Before the glittering Colossus that seemed to be entirely made of gold showed up, the fury of all the soldiers, the members of the royal family, and the people had reached the peak.
It was because everybody saw that in the sky on the east side of the Emperor's Mausoleum, a large batch of starships with the emblem of the Dongfang family flying over from the direction of the Council of Elders were confronting the rusted, broken starships of the Imperial Guards.
It seemed that the aggressive starships from the Dongfang family would've broken into the Emperor's Mausoleum if the Imperial Guards hadn't stopped them!
"Is the Dongfang family so domineering that they are bold enough to stomp on the soul of Blackstar the Great?"
There was no telling where the words came from, but they soon spread across the entire Emperor's Mausoleum, making the members of the royal family cry even more miserably. The atmosphere suddenly turned solemn. All the surplus generals who led the crying seemed to have foreseen their end.
Right when a battle was about to break out, a small-scale assault fleet at a low altitude was let in by the Imperial Guards from the west side of the Emperor's Mausoleum without a sound. It was not until it glided all the way to the top of the crowd that it was discovered.
Then, a glittering "seed" spurted out of one of the starships and grew larger and larger in midair, turning into the Gold Vulture, a Colossus that looked like an incarnation of a deity!
"This is —"
Zhao Zhenwu looked at the sky, dumbfounded. He had been through hundreds of battles and had cooperated with a Colossus dozens of times, but he had never seen such a glamorous, dominating, and powerful Colossus before!
The Colossus was still standing at an altitude of hundreds of meters, but it was releasing waves that stirred up everybody's soul. However, there was not the slightest killing intent in the waves. Instead, it was filled with the feeling of fighting spirit and blood boiling!
"It's the Gold Vulture. It's one of the strongest Colossi of the Imperium!"
"I'm told that its user, 'Vulture Li Yao', is also a famous expert of the Imperium. However, he has been active in the very clandestine underground frontline, specializing in spying, sabotage, and spying on the Holy League. Therefore, nobody knows him. However, Vulture Li Yao made great contributions to the glorious victory of the Imperium's counterattack!
"That's right. I've heard about the guy before, too. He is a loyal patriot, the purest Immortal Cultivator, and the most loyal believer of Blackstar the Great. He must be on our side!"
