Manina was not the only one in his study, Intelligence Minister Xion was also there.
Xion didn't dare to say anything when he saw that His Majesty was in a bad mood, and he didn't dare to express his anger when he stood in front of Manina.
After a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, have the Blue Star people really mastered the method of opening the 'Final Secret Realm'?"
"Who knows?" Manina looked at Xion, noncommittal: "Maybe they have really obtained the method to open the secret realm, or maybe they are setting off smoke bombs. Both cases are possible. But Xion...
"
Manina said sternly to Xion: "Next, the focus of your intelligence department's investigation will be on this person named... named..."
"Your Majesty, her name is Xu Xiaotian."
"Okay, let's put it on this little Blue Star girl named Xu Xiaotian and figure out her course of action after arriving at Scrooge.
If it is true that she can open the secret realm, then within this month, we must find the method to open the secret realm before her, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Xion quickly replied. How dare he not agree to His Majesty's orders?
"Okay, you go and do your work." Manina waved his hand.
However, Xion had no intention of leaving. He lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there are two more things I must get your instructions for. Both of them are very important."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Manina looked at him.
"The first thing is about the Dragon Clan." Xion said: "You promised to give the Dragon Clan an explanation within 7 days. Now 3 days have passed, what should we do?"
Upon hearing this question, Manina did not answer immediately, but looked directly at Xion with interest.
It wasn't until Xion was covered in hair and his back was sweating that he said slowly: "I already have a solution for this problem.
Now that things have come to this, we must sacrifice something, and this sacrifice cannot be too small. Ordinary dignitaries cannot quell the anger of the Dragon Clan, and we must have great nobles."
"Who...are you planning to sacrifice?" Xion asked in a low voice.
"Haydn Sun." Manina spit out a name.
"Duke Haydn!" Xion's face instantly turned pale, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.
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 low-level powerhouse, the Duke of the Empire, the core force of the royal family, and the lord of Linlong City.
There are only five seventh-level experts in the Lieyang family, and Haydn Lieyang, as one of them, is of course extremely powerful.
However, the political views of Haydn Lieyang and His Majesty the Emperor were not harmonious.
As early as the past few hundred years, the two of them had had many disputes on large and small topics, and they were political enemies with sharp contradictions.
As for recent events, Hayden Lieyang was captured by the Blue Stars. After returning from the Blue Stars' prisoner-of-war camp, he actually spoke for the Blue Stars!
That incident greatly damaged the reputation of His Majesty the Emperor, and also handed the knife to the anti-coalition organization. His Majesty the Emperor hated him to the core. At this time, it was completely reasonable for him to want to kill and "sacrifice" him with a borrowed knife.
And there is another very important point - as the city lord of Linlong City, Haydn Lieyang has done a lot of killing dragons privately, but he has not been caught.
Now His Majesty really wants to sacrifice him, and it can be said that he has to catch a lot of evidence!
"My dear brother, it seems that you have to make some sacrifices for the family." Manina squinted his eyes and murmured, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Xion knew very well that he could not continue on this topic. If he continued, he would probably be silenced for "knowing too much."
He immediately changed the subject: "Your Majesty, the second thing is Prime Minister Gordon. Prime Minister Gordon is ready."
"Ready? Let him take action without further ado!" A sneer appeared on Manina's lips: "Although it is a pity to lose this chess piece, just create a little trouble if you can. I hope I can take away more blues."
Star."
Regarding Prime Minister Gordon, the matter goes back four days.
Four days ago, Lieyang Palace was secretly infiltrated and a large amount of confidential information was leaked.
Among these confidential information, the Skrulls' plan to secretly train Pacific Prime Minister Gordon was also leaked.
Later, it was speculated that the infiltrator was most likely a Blue Star human!
Since the infiltrator is a Blue Star human, the hidden line of "Gordon" has been eliminated.
Since it is already useless, let's just let him "self-destruct" before he dies! It can also be considered as waste utilization, and you can take away as much as you can.
So Manina readily approved it.
…
…
At the same time that Manina was approving the order, Dragon Island in the east of the Lieyang Empire.
In the center of Long Island is a majestic extinct volcano with an altitude of about 3,700 meters.
Originally, this was actually an active volcano, but under the management of successive Dragon Emperors, this active volcano, which posed a huge threat to the Dragon Clan, eventually became an extinct volcano.
There is a huge dragon nest built on the foothills on the south side of the volcano. It is the largest dragon nest on the entire Dragon Island and is also the residence of Dragon King Kadrigos.
In the dragon's lair at this time, Kadrigos was chatting with Zhong Feng.
There were only two of them in the huge dragon nest, which seemed a bit empty.
In the center of the dragon's lair, the Dragon King Kadrigos was lying on a huge golden mountain, looking very listless.
His entire dragon also seemed to have aged hundreds of years, completely losing its original vigor and vitality.
In fact, the body of the Red Dragon King gave him a huge blow and almost collapsed.
When he really saw the Red Dragon King floating in the giant psychic tank, Kadrigos felt as if a sharp knife had been inserted into his heart, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
The Skrulls had gone too far, but he could not find out the real mastermind to avenge the Red Dragon King, so he could only return to Dragon Island in shame.
If you continue to be cowardly like this, the only path waiting for the Dragon Clan is destruction.
However, the Dragon Clan is not just a dead end. If the Blue Star humans can really defeat the Skrulls, the Dragon Clan may still have a glimmer of hope.
In the dragon's lair, Kadrigos used his mental power to communicate with Zhong Feng: "Zhong Feng, what kind of strength can you Blue Star humans achieve when the war begins?"
"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, it's hard to say this because we don't know yet how difficult it is for players to advance to the eighth level in the game "Evolution"." Zhong Feng replied seriously:
"But what is certain now is that we can have at least three eighth-level experts.
Cao Cao, Prime Minister, is now at the peak of the eighth level;
Senior Yang Jian, as the only senior who has survived from the prehistoric era to the present, he will definitely be able to restore his eighth level strength;
Su Yu, I don’t need to introduce you further.
The rest like me, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Liu Che all have a chance to be promoted to the eighth level, but we can't guarantee it 100%."
