Chapter 686: Pioneer: You sit at home and the pot falls from the sky?
On the interstellar network, everyone is marveling at the power of the Star Empire, and some of the mocking remarks from a while ago seem to have disappeared.
The "Imperial Boasts" from various civilizations appeared again, proudly boasting about the achievements of the Star Empire. Anyone who offends the Star Empire will be severely punished.
However, this only allowed the Star Empire to return to the "status" it deserved. It could even be said that its original "invincible golden body" was already showing signs of collapse.
Because they reached a reconciliation with the alien camp, this situation will only occur when the Star Empire is not sure of victory, or when the cost of victory is very heavy.
There are many speculations from outside, but no one knows the truth. The statements of the two protagonists have completely nailed the matter down.
As interstellar public opinion was turbulent, the Forerunners were in a gloomy mood. After the third Forerunner was captured, they held an emergency meeting.
They were busy speculating on the purpose of the Star Empire. They were a little caught off guard by this matter and had never expected that the Star Empire would suddenly take action against them.
"How did the news about the third pioneer leak? His whereabouts should be top secret, and only the top leaders should know about it..." Some people were very confused about this.
"The Third Pioneer recently confirmed some extremely critical information within the Morton civilization. His coordinates are no longer top secret." Another senior official shook his head.
"What is Morton civilization?"
“It’s hard to say…”
Everyone was talking about it, and someone said dissatisfiedly: "The most urgent task now is how to solve this matter. The third pioneer has been arrested, and he holds many secrets of the organization."
"If the Star Empire learns of this, it will lead to unpredictable consequences."
"There is no other way to solve this problem unless we break into the Star Empire to rescue them."
A high-ranking official who had little presence suddenly spoke up: "I'm just curious, isn't the Star Empire tracking down traces of the alien camp?"
"Why did you suddenly turn against us?"
This was a puzzling question. Everyone looked at each other, unable to come up with an answer for the time being.
However, this matter did not puzzle them for too long. While they were discussing a solution, the statement from the Star Empire swept across the entire galaxy.
In the center of the crowd, a statement filled with text was suspended. Their expressions were strange and ugly.
It was not until a long time later that someone slowly spoke with an incredulous tone:
"They used us as scapegoats? They targeted us because they couldn't find the alien camp?"
"Do you really think that we and the alien camp are two sides of the same coin?"
Someone agreed: "It's ridiculous that the Star Empire has fallen to this level. Aren't they afraid that the alien camp will expose them?"
"They even lied about their results. We only sent out a dozen A-level life forms for support, but they said they captured more than fifty?"
They felt unbelievable. This matter was too outrageous. The Star Empire actually used them as a scapegoat?
"But what if the alien camp has also reached an agreement with the Star Empire?" The projection at the top, the leader of the Forerunners, spoke slowly.
This caused the atmosphere in the field to fall into silence. Several people wanted to speak, but they didn't know how to say it.
Not long after, another statement was placed in front of them. It was the statement released by Li Yu, confirming their boss's guess.
Li Yu confirmed the battle record of the Star Empire, and they really became scapegoats!
The two guys who should have been at loggerheads actually reached an agreement in secret.
Many projections were blurry, and it was obvious that the person was very angry.
"This is too much!" A senior executive trembled all over, his face flushed, "They simply don't take us seriously!"
"We can never tolerate their recklessness!"
"Oh?" The leader of the pioneers looked at him dimly and said in a deep voice, "So, what are you going to do?"
The man almost opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he said nothing.
Many senior executives suddenly realized that they didn't even have room for explanation.
The Star Empire hinted that the people they captured were from an alien camp.
As the representative of the alien-dimensional camp, Li Yu has already stamped his approval.
Now they, the forerunners, suddenly jumped out and said that those people were not from the alien camp at all, but were actually theirs.
Who would believe it?
Who can believe it?
I'm afraid Xingxing's first reaction is -
Where did this clown come from?
There is no need for the Star Empire to refute the rumors, as the many people who like to have fun on the interstellar network will criticize them to death.
This group of forerunners all agreed that if the Star Empire was the king of interstellar society on the surface, then they were the "gods" who were watching the development of events in secret.
They have a sense of superiority, which comes from their own background and strength.
But... not long ago, a mysterious force called the Other Dimension Camp inexplicably got involved with them, exposing them to the public in an extremely ridiculous way.
Then, not long after, they were directly used as scapegoats by the Star Empire and the Alien Dimension Camp, and no one cared about their reactions at all.
This made this group of people feel extremely uncomfortable.
"They will have to pay the price!" someone shouted.
"That's right, this matter cannot be let go easily." Everyone was excited.
"You're shouting so loudly, there must be a solution, right? Are you going to go to war with the Star Empire, or with the alien camp?"
A rather vague projection spoke indifferently. He was sitting relatively close to the front and had not spoken before.
"Even the Star Empire couldn't find any traces of the alien camp. Do you think we can find it?"
His words seemed to pour a bucket of cold water on everyone.
"What's even more disadvantageous to us is that any of them can track down our whereabouts as long as they pay enough price and spend enough time."
Going to war with the Star Empire is meaningless and costly.
More importantly, the instigator was obviously the alien camp, not the Star Empire.
But if they want to target the alien dimension camp, they will face the same dilemma as the Star Empire - they cannot find any traces.
There is only one troublesome and tricky Li Yu in the interstellar society.
Not to mention that he has the ability to escape at any time, his specific coordinates are almost impossible to find.
"What kind of organization is this? Isn't it in the known universe? It can't be that they have crossed the border of the desolate world and never explored the universe again, right?"
The universe is vast and boundless, and the known universe where they exist and develop is mainly the area once covered by the Titan civilization.
And everyone knows that there is still an unknown universe waiting for them to explore.
"It's unlikely. An organization that has the ability to cross the border of the wilderness doesn't need to be so secretive." The Forerunner leader spoke up, ending this speculation.
"Didn't Li Yu team up with some people to form an A-level alliance? Maybe we can send some people to lurk in and wait for the right opportunity to act." Someone suggested.
Someone else seconded the idea: "That's right, although Li Yu is a very strange person, he is not invincible, otherwise he would not have to hide from the Star Empire."
"Okay..." The leader of the Forerunners nodded, and said in a rather cold tone: "Immediately activate the S-level capture plan and treat him as a super life form."
"I don't want to be ignorant of this alien camp anymore."
This time, the incident of the alien camp using the Forerunner to take the blame really touched his bottom line, and it could even be said to be a blatant insult.
Everyone was slightly surprised. They didn't expect the leader to be so cruel. But when they thought carefully about Li Yu's battle record, it was indeed reasonable to do so.
"Understood!" Many senior executives nodded, and then went offline to prepare to work on this matter.
…
After the establishment of the A-level alliance, a number of measures were introduced one after another.
However, most of them are loose rules.
Several announcements were issued at the same time, the most important of which was a willingness to abide by the laws of all major civilizations, but at the same time, it would speak out against the injustice suffered by Class A life forms.
In fact, this statement is quite funny. What kind of injustice can an A-level life form suffer?
Even in a place like the Star Empire, A-level life forms are not everywhere.
This incident actually revealed a very crucial thing: most A-level life forms belong to their own civilization.
Being willing to support Class A life forms means supporting certain civilizations that have been treated unfairly, which is what the major hegemonic civilizations will not allow.
I am the one who makes the rules, who do you think you are?
…
In the Yuxu Palace, in an empty cabin somewhere, a red stream of light was shuttling back and forth at high speed, constantly colliding with the object in the center that was emitting golden arc light, making a sound like thunder.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lightning flashed, Li Yu's eyes were indifferent, and he casually hit the body of the Fallen Star Dragon. The scales felt cold, and a circle of electric arcs burst out at the same time.
"Slow, too slow!"
"What a waste of your body. Is this all you can do?!"
He shouted harshly, and the Fallen Star Dragon's eyes, which were once full of ferocity, now showed a hint of human grievance.
"Move, what's your tail for!?" Li Yu remained unmoved and continued to scold:
"Freeze space! Block my escape route!"
"What the hell are you doing!?"
The Fallen Star Dragon is extremely intelligent, but it has always been kept in a warm container and has not been developed much.
And this hateful two-legged beast in front of it had been grabbing it and fighting with it since it was thawed. Not only did it beat it until it was in pain all over, but it also scolded it for being useless.
It has never suffered such injustice!
"If you weren't good-looking, I would have skinned you and eaten your meat long ago." Li Yu said angrily.
If it hadn't looked like a dragon, Li Yu wouldn't have had the time to train with it.
But it’s okay, this thing is not weak and can also improve the progress of his gene chain development.
The Fallen Star Dragon was about to cry. His violent murderous nature had been wiped out in the battles of the past few days.
It now only felt fear towards the two-legged beast in front of it.
After fighting for a while, the smart terminal on Li Yu rang. He took a look and then stopped fighting.
The headquarters of the A-level league is about to be completed, and he is going to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"Come back and continue fighting. Don't even think about running away, or I'll chop off your head!" Li Yu threatened Fallen Star Dragon
The little dragon shrank its head and dared not move. It only stretched its body reluctantly after Li Yu left.
Dark Star in the corner watched all this silently. Looking at the pair of aggrieved huge pupils, he actually felt a sense of sympathy.
…
The headquarters of the A-level alliance was selected on a life-bearing planet of the Rhea civilization.
This is a special open civilization, without strict political control, high taxes and strict laws. It is the main gathering point for major private cross-civilization chambers of commerce.
Such a large cross-civilization organization must have an open headquarters, otherwise what would it mean?
The silver-white metal high-rise reaches into the sky. This metal building was built in less than four days, with a huge slanted "A" hanging on it.
A large number of interview spacecraft have been parked nearby, and reporters from various interstellar media have been waiting here for a long time. They will broadcast this "grand event" live to the entire interstellar space as soon as possible.
A number of alliance members have arrived at the scene, and some have begun to accept interviews from the media, but none of them dared to say anything overly outrageous, for fear of being noted down in their notebooks.
When Li Yu arrived, the ceremony had already begun and Hasband was speaking and answering reporters' questions.
"Mr. Bob, the major civilizations headed by the Star Empire have not yet responded to the A-level alliance. What do you think their reaction will be?"
This is a rather tricky question. After all, everyone knows that it is impossible for the major civilizations to have a friendly response.
Husband's answer was even more tricky. He glanced at the virtual name tag of the green-skinned reporter and said:
"Reporter Castin, first of all, I want to correct you on one point. All the major interstellar civilizations are equal. What do you mean by the Star Empire being the leader?"
"Your words constitute disrespect for the Interstellar Convention. I refuse to answer this question."
Awesome, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh.
The reporter was stunned. He didn't expect the answer to be so outrageous.
Then another reporter stood up and asked, "Mr. President, the original intention of establishing the A-level alliance was to eliminate the terrifying life forms. What I want to ask is, will you really do this?"
Just as Husband was about to answer, he saw Li Yu not far away, paused and said: "This matter can be answered by Vice President Long Zun."
"Dragon Lord is here?"
"Where is it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused a commotion at the scene. After all, this was the first time that Li Yu appeared in public after the Star Empire declared war, which naturally meant a lot.
