Chapter 274 The Truth is the Quick Strike (Part 1)
"Young Master, they have arrived in Sunrise City." Old Chen's voice came from the shadows.
"Don't worry about it, they know what they're doing."
There are some things Su Yu doesn't need to worry about, after all, he is well aware of their capabilities.
"The Sun Moon Empire has been making some moves lately. Shouldn't we give the Star Luo Empire and Shrek a hint? After all, our young master is currently..." Old Chen was clearly hesitant.
Su Yu slowly said, "Old Chen, I know what you're thinking, but it's not appropriate for us to interfere in these matters. After all, we're currently in a precarious situation. However, I'd like to know what has happened recently."
Recently, rumors have been circulating among the three major empires, claiming that they broke their agreement with Shrek Academy and launched a major attack on the Sun Moon Empire, resulting in heavy casualties and loss of soul tools for the Sun Moon Empire.
Enraged, the Sun Moon Empire decided to kill the hostages as a warning to the three great empires, but Shrek Academy and the three great empires did not stop and continued their attack.
This news spread like wildfire throughout the three great empires, and the sects and academies of the three empires demanded an explanation from their respective empires, while the officials of the three great empires refused to acknowledge the matter.
This kind of thing absolutely cannot be admitted, after all, this operation was a private agreement between the three great empires and Shrek Academy.
If this were to be exposed, it would be a devastating blow to the reputation of the three great empires.
Therefore, they will never admit it. Even if there is solid information, they will only claim to the outside world that it is fake news created by the Sun Moon Empire to create internal strife.
These tactics are actually easy to expose, but if Shrek Academy also sides with the three great empires, then the Sun Moon Empire's words will become untrustworthy.
In fact, the Sun Moon Empire did release footage, but it was denied by Shrek Academy.
Shrek's reputation was unparalleled among the three great empires; they were more inclined to trust Shrek than their enemies.
However, some things cannot be hidden; one lie requires countless others to cover it up.
"It has been almost a year, but it is unclear when the Sun Moon Empire plans to take their students back."
Su Yu sorted through the intelligence in his hands. Currently, the exchange students between the three major empires and Shrek Academy are subject to certain restrictions. Shrek Academy does not dare to gamble, and neither do the three major empires.
Both sides exercised restraint in this regard, because if the three great empires and Shrek Academy were to take action against this group of students at this point, the outcome would be the opening of a major war.
Such a huge cost is something neither side wants to take, so for now, exchanging students is actually the safest option.
"Young Master, what should we do now?" Old Master Chen asked calmly.
Su Yu tapped the table and slowly said, "Wait."
"What are you waiting for?"
Wait? What's there to wait for? Does the young master have a backup plan?
"Because we're waiting for someone else to slip up. Old Chen, what you need to do now is to do everything you can to help me search for the inner academy students who recently graduated from Shrek Academy. I need their whereabouts."
"Wait, it would be best to find out which new talents in the three great empires have recently stood out. If so, send me their information."
People from Earth are never ordinary, let alone adversaries lurking in the shadows.
If he had been born in the Sun Moon Empire, I would have found you in a very short time, because your growth would have destined you to join the Mingde Hall and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. Not to mention that Luo Yu can now be considered a leading figure among the Sun Moon Empire's heroes.
Therefore, Su Yu focused his attention on the three major empires. More than a year has passed since the last time. He only needs to check the recent graduates or outstanding new talents, and he can naturally get the answer through data statistics.
Of course, this is just a hope.
After all, since the other party knows of Luo Yu's existence, they will definitely try their best to hide it.
"Then let's see if you kill me first, or if I find you first."
…………
The Star Luo Empire, the Luo Family.
"Father, I have graduated from Shrek Academy. Please allow me to join the military."
At this moment, Luo Jing is discussing his future with his family.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. With your abilities, you're certain to enter the military, and you're also an inner court student at Shrek Academy. Your resume and abilities are absolutely no problem. What the Luo family needs to do now is to befriend the Su family. As an inner court student, you must know Su Yu, right?" Luo Jing's father, Luo Lengyun, asked.
Luo Jing thought for a moment and replied, "We know each other, but we rarely interact. After all, I'm two years ahead of him. He's a prominent figure in the inner academy, while I'm just an ordinary inner academy student."
Hearing his adoptive father's words, Luo Jing regretted his answer.
Although he had interacted with Su Yu in the inner courtyard and even cooperated with the Shrek Seven Devils at times, he did not want to face Su Yu.
In his analysis, Su Yu's existence itself was highly suspicious. He couldn't see through Su Yu's every move. If the system hadn't given a definite answer that Su Yu was a time traveler, he would have suspected that Luo Yu was the time traveler.
Faced with such a mysterious time-traveling predecessor, Luo Jing really didn't want to have too much interaction with Su Yu.
Because in his current state, if Su Yu were to discover him, his chances of survival would be less than one percent.
Even though he has managed to obtain several life-saving items through the system's tasks and rewards, these things can only be avoided temporarily, not permanently.
"Let's forget about that. Although we have a long-standing friendship with the Su family, I don't have a deep connection with Su Yu. If I go there rashly, it might leave a bad impression on him." Luo Jing rejected her father's suggestion.
Are you kidding me? You go if you want, I'm not going!
"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now. But what are your thoughts on the recent attack by the three great empires on the Sun Moon Empire's border?"
Luo Jing thought for a moment, and realized that in the original story, this should be the point where the three great empires send people to rescue the Shrek Seven Devils, and the Shrek Seven Devils' attempt to save people backfires.
"I don't know. Who knows if the Sun Moon Empire is just using this as an excuse to massacre the elites of our three great empires."
Luo Jing didn't want to reveal any spoilers. The best way to protect himself was to keep the secret. Now was not the time to show his skills.
Starry Palace.
"Your Majesty, are you still troubled by the rumors?" the Prime Minister asked, looking at Xu Jiawei who was pacing back and forth.
Xu Jiawei sighed and said, "I know you still ask. Fortunately, Shrek Academy also participated in this operation, but we really have no other choice..."
"Your Majesty, I actually do not approve of this operation." The Prime Minister looked at Xu Jiawei and spoke his mind.
Xu Jiawei shook his head. "We have no way out."
The Prime Minister replied, "Your Majesty, it's not that there's no way out; it's just that our expectations were too high, which is why we've come to this point."
"Why would the Sun Moon Empire produce such a monstrous talent as Luo Yu? Is the heavens going to destroy my Star Luo Empire?" Xu Jiawei had never felt such immense pressure before.
When he ascended the throne years ago, he faced numerous difficulties, but with the help of the Star Crown Sect, he managed to secure his position. Who could have imagined that decades later, the pressure would come from a young man from the Sun Moon Empire?
The Prime Minister slowly began, "The three great empires may not be without them, but..."
"But what...?"
"Never mind, it's nothing..."
Xu Jiawei: "…………"
