Fuso, Sakura City Palace.
The fact that the palace had been attacked was secretly concealed. Fortunately, the battle that night did not affect the palace, otherwise it would have been reduced to ruins like the Sun Shrine. Even if the Emperor of Fuso was very powerful, he would not have been able to conceal the news.
Although the imperial palace was not affected by the great battle that night, the losses to the palace were still enormous. More than half of the elite soldiers guarding the royal family were killed or wounded, and the warriors also suffered considerable losses.
However, the emperor naturally did not need to personally show up to clean up the aftermath of the palace, as his subordinates would handle it. In fact, the aftermath of the palace had been completed on the night of the Battle of Sakura City, and the royal family members also returned to the palace that night.
The next two days were spent dealing with the destruction of the Sun Shrine. Although the royal family announced that it was a terrorist attack, many Sakura City citizens witnessed the Battle of Sakura City that night. It was not just the Sun Shrine that was destroyed, but also ruins of several kilometers in radius. The number of casualties reached tens of thousands.
Under such circumstances, it was not easy to calm public opinion. However, the royal family insisted that they had been attacked by terrorists. In addition, the terrorist organization later took the initiative to declare itself responsible for the incident, and the Japanese public opinion was suppressed, and the matter was finally suppressed.
I believe that as time goes by, this matter will soon be forgotten. After all, ordinary people care more about their own lives. Naturally, they will not pay attention to things that are not at their level for too long.
In the luxurious room, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged at the wine table.
"Musashi-kun, I'm so grateful to you for these past two days. If it weren't for your advice, the impact of the Sakura City War would not have been resolved so quickly." The middle-aged man poured a glass of sake and pushed it in front of the old man opposite.
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. These are what an old minister should do." The old man said respectfully.
The old man's name is Musashi, but actually he doesn't know any Kung Fu at all. On the contrary, he is very good at strategy and is relied upon by the middle-aged man as his right-hand man.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, raised the wine glass in front of him and clinked it with the old man from a distance, then drank the sake, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Compared to the middle-aged man's indifference, Musashi drank the sake in his hand with great trepidation. After all, he was drinking with His Majesty, and even with his status, it was difficult for him to have such an opportunity.
"Your Majesty, these days those people have started clamoring to rebuild the Sun Shrine." Musashi put down his wine glass and spoke slowly.
"Hmph~"
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man's face changed, and he snorted coldly, "These idiots will make enemies for Fuso. Is that the kind of enemy we can afford to provoke?"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Musashi showed a bitter smile on his face. On this point, he was on the same side as the middle-aged man. Having witnessed Yang Qi's terrifying strength with his own eyes, he could not guarantee what the consequences would be if the Fuso high-level officials presided over the reconstruction of the Sun Shrine.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with them?" Musashi asked cautiously.
"Let's suppress them first. If they still want to rebuild the Sun Shrine, we will help them. However, we must make our attitude clear and distance ourselves from the matter." The middle-aged man said coldly.
Musashi's body trembled slightly, and a chill surged in his heart. If Your Majesty acted like this, once Yang Qi got angry, those people would probably die.
"I understand, old minister."
Musashi nodded slightly. The actions of those radicals had obviously completely angered the middle-aged man, and he even seemed to be trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
"His Majesty!"
Just as Musashi was about to say goodbye and leave to deal with the matter, a figure suddenly rushed into the room they were in. Musashi was not unfamiliar with the person who suddenly rushed into the room. The other party was the emperor's attendant.
"Your Majesty, there was an earthquake at Sakura Mountain, and the volcano may erupt again." The visitor said hurriedly.
What!
The middle-aged man stood up in shock, looked at his attendant in disbelief, and asked quickly, "Are you sure the news is not wrong?"
Sakura Mountain is the sacred mountain of Fuso. It has not erupted for thousands of years since records began. Fuso has also conducted many studies, and everything shows that Sakura Mountain is a dormant volcano. How could it be possible to revive and erupt again
"The earthquake has been confirmed, but the volcanic eruption is not yet confirmed." The attendant said hurriedly.
"how so!"
The middle-aged man's face was pale. What happened in Fuso recently? First, Sakura Capital was attacked by powerful practitioners, and now Sakura Mountain was resurrected and erupted again. How come he, the emperor, had to deal with all these troubles
Musashi, who was standing by, had already recovered from the news about Sakura Mountain. Being an experienced man, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, we should organize an evacuation immediately. Once the Sakura Mountain volcano revives and erupts, it will definitely be a horrific disaster."
"Order the 56th and 84th Regiments of the Guard to rush to Sakura Mountain immediately and organize an evacuation. At the same time, ordinary people are strictly prohibited from entering the Sakura Mountain area." The middle-aged man heard Musashi's words and hurriedly gave the order.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The attendant wrote down the middle-aged man's orders.
"Connect me to the live footage right now." The middle-aged man looked at Musashi and said, "Musashi-kun, it looks like I have to trouble you again."
"It's an honor for this old minister." Musashi nodded slightly. Such a big thing could not be handled by the middle-aged man alone. He needed other people to come up with ideas.
Soon, through the helicopter, the scene of Sakura Mountain appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged man and Musashi.
"Such thick volcanic ash." Musashi's face darkened.
In the picture, the crater has been completely covered by volcanic ash, and almost nothing can be seen. In addition, black and gray volcanic ash continues to erupt from the crater.
"Boom~"
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard in the screen, and then two rays of light, one blue and one red, gushed out from the crater. Two huge eight-foot magatama-shaped whirlpools appeared directly in the air. In an instant, the world changed drastically.
"This is… "
Looking at the two eight-foot magatama, one blue and one red, in the air, the middle-aged man and Musashi looked at each other and swallowed hard. At this moment, they had already understood that this matter might involve the world of cultivation.
"Quick, let the 56th and 84th Regiments speed up the evacuation of the Sakura Mountain area and block the entire area at the same time." The middle-aged man hurriedly gave the order.
Although we don't know what exactly happened in Sakura Mountain, the impact of the previous Sakura City War has not been completely eliminated. If such an event beyond cognition occurs in Sakura Mountain at this time, it will be impossible to cover it up.
After receiving the order from the middle-aged man, the two squadrons in front immediately accelerated the pace of evacuation, and even dispatched a large number of helicopters to block the airspace in the area where Sakura Mountain was located, strictly prohibiting the appearance of other flying objects. The two squadrons in front even received a confidentiality order, no matter what they saw, they were not allowed to disclose it! (To be continued)
