VCRMM: Chapter 393

Finally, with the efforts of Team Leader Lake and the others, the Interstellar Alliance canceled the arbitration against the Bewatt Empire. It didn’t directly close its channels for purchasing supplies from the Interstellar Alliance, but at the same time, it imposed penalties, greatly reducing the types and quantities of supplies it could purchase as the price paid by the Bewatt Empire for its invasion plan against Roland.

Xu Sili wasn’t surprised to get this result.

After all, the Bewatt Empire didn’t succeed in the end and there was the damage that the players caused to the lizardmen over the past year. Not to mention other things, just the destruction of hundreds of millions of lizard eggs could be regarded as very vicious revenge.

In any case, now the Roland Empire stood on the moral high ground and this was acknowledged by the Interstellar Alliance.

Even if he sent troops to the Bewatt Empire, he had a legitimate reason. No matter what nation or force it was, no one had the position to force the Roland Empire to stop. It would also have little impact if the Bewatt Empire continued to purchase supplies from the Interstellar Alliance.

After the emergency meeting of the Interstellar Alliance, this incident was reported by various military columns one after another. Due to the current popularity of the Roland Empire, it quickly spread all over the Internet.

Xu Sili had experienced modern public opinion wars and naturally wouldn’t let down his guard.

As early as when the signs appeared, all the evidence of Bewatt’s invasion of Roland was proactively disclosed, including but not limited to encrypted calls, video recordings and various data that Xiao Wu found in the spaceship lurking around Escher Star. There was even the reconnaissance ship that had been dormant outside Escher Star for a long time.

Xu Sili started a live broadcast and sent people to capture the reconnaissance ship, catching the criminals red-handed.

The characteristics of the lizardmen were too obvious.

The previous evidence alone was very convincing, not to mention the live broadcast of the capture of the reconnaissance ship. In the database of the ship, they found video footage of how the lizardmen triggered the beast wave six years ago, and the thousands of settlements in the Roland Empire that were destroyed in the beast wave.

Of course, these materials were found by Xiao Wu on the previous battleship that had been blown to pieces and secretly hidden on this reconnaissance ship.

The moment this video footage was released, public opinion completely sided with the Roland Empire.

Words were always less impactful than images. Once the cold words were transformed into images and presented directly in front of people, any peace-loving person couldn’t help being moved!

It was so tragic!

That was hundreds of millions of intelligent lives!

The interstellar people finally understood how the Roland Empire survived and could stand up again under that type of threat. How could such a nation not be strong? How could such a nation not be admired?

In addition, after the death of Arnauton and the group of intelligent lizardmen he trained, the new leader of the lizardmen only had military force but lacked ministers to give him advice. He had no power to resist the war of public opinion.

Even in one interview, after being cornered by a reporter, he directly admitted it in front of the camera with an expression of unrepentance and not thinking he was wrong. This directly aroused public anger.

Now the people of the Roland Empire had also started to access the Star Network.

Xu Sili had previously revealed the real culprit behind the tragedy six years ago as the lizardmen of Bewatt, but the video footage still caused a huge shock to the public.

It had only been six years…

How could they forget such a deep blood feud?

Despite two years of a peaceful life, most people were still awakened by nightmares at night, recalling the disaster that had almost destroyed their nation!

In that disaster, they lost their homes, countless relatives and friends, and even their beloved emperor!

He used his life to defend the last five cities of the Roland Empire. He left the last spark of fire for the nation. Now that fire had ignited a prairie fire, but he couldn’t see it at all.

The Bewatt Empire must pay for it!

In order to make their voices heard on the Star Network, the people of Roland, who originally had great difficulty in learning the universal language, made a qualitative leap in their learning speed. This was simply a leap forward, making Xu Sili feel relieved and very emotional.

Xenos, who had been in the Star Network community for some time, didn’t join the public in venting his anger. Instead, he continued to pressure the alliance in his own way.

In addition to the lizardmen’s invasion of the Roland Empire, he also took advantage of the lizardmen’s persecution of the indigenous people of Bewatt Star.

Xu Fengqing told him a lot about the natives of Bewatt Star and also found a lot of information for him.

Xenos had come into contact with many interstellar people in the Star Network community. As a human being, he had a more thorough understanding of human nature. Therefore, he was actually more suitable than Xiao Wu in guiding public opinion.

The tragic history of the indigenous people of Bewatt Star that he published quickly aroused even more intense public opinion.

The ugly and evil lizardmen brutally killed and preyed on the weak and innocent, cute mini beastmen. Once such a video was released, it was even more shocking than the destruction of thousands of cities in the Roland Empire!

After all, the direct murderer who destroyed the cities of Roland were the alien beasts. The lizardmen who were the masterminds behind the scenes were hateful, but they didn’t appear in the video. Therefore, people who didn’t know the cause and effect wouldn’t quickly associate it with the lizardmen of Bewatt after seeing it. They needed to understand it more.

However, the video materials edited and released by Xenos later gave a simple and straightforward message. For a time, the lizardmen were associated with the words ‘evil devil.’ They made the lizardmen a synonym for evil spirits in the interstellar world.

The natives of Bewatt, the seemingly weak and harmless little cuties, had become the objects of sympathy for the vast majority of interstellar people. People were eager for the Roland Empire to quickly defeat the evil spirits and save these little cuties from the hands of the lizardmen!

The war that the Roland Empire launched against Bewatt wasn’t only a war of revenge, but also a war of justice!

Under the instigation of Xenos and Xiao Wu, many people from nations that had trade relations with Bewatt actually petitioned their nation’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to boycott the Bewatt Empire. They absolutely didn’t want to have anything to do with the evil spirits!

There was also the Interstellar Alliance, which was under siege on the Internet.

In the end, the top leaders of the Interstellar Alliance had to make the decision to close all trade routes between Bewatt and the Interstellar Alliance. The original dozens of members of the Bewatt liaison team were directly reduced to two, falling into the same situation as Roland previously. It could be regarded as a turn of events.

Xu Sili was amazed by Xenos’ fighting power.

As expected, he was worthy of being a prince who was trained as the crown prince since childhood. His learning ability was incomparable to ordinary people. In such a short period of time, he had thoroughly learned some interstellar rules and played them so well!

Once the Roland Empire fully developed in the future, he could safely hand the nation back to him…

Of course, this incident still had a certain impact on the Roland Empire.

The previous outbreak of Roland tourism had subsided a bit due to the news of the war, but it hadn’t completely cooled down.

After all, in addition to its delicious food, Roland was now more famous for its miraculous beauty and medical treatments. As long as these two technologies were available, there would always be people who were willing to take the risk to try them out. What’s more, the Roland Empire wasn’t the main war zone.

Netizens started discussing how the war would be fought, how long it would last and what impact it would have on the two nations.

There had been peace in the interstellar world for so many years, and there were few wars. What’s more, this was an interstellar war involving two nations and three races. Therefore, the discussion level was unprecedentedly high.

While the Roland Empire might’ve demonstrated its powerful strength, the previous Roland defense war was fought at home after all. Now they were going to Bewatt Star. It was a long-distance war and away from home. Could the Roland Empire still be as strong as before?

Some people supported Roland while others were pessimistic. Both sides had strong evidence. Every time they met, a fierce online war was triggered.

In this discussion, Roland citizens were rarely seen. Even if they appeared, they only made a few remarks in support of their own nation. However, as long as they were asked to analyze and reveal Roland’s movements, they would disappear.

Xiao Wu was controlling the leakage of intelligence, and there really weren’t many Roland people who leaked news on the Star Network. The few who did were those who had immigrated back.

Obviously, the people of Roland generally weren’t well-educated but they were united in facing the outside world and were sufficiently vigilant against interstellar nations. Moreover, people who had emerged from suffering were unlikely to be as naive as interstellar nations.

Xu Sili was very pleased when he saw Xiao Wu’s report on this matter.

At least, there weren’t so many people holding him back and the people of Roland were very loyal to their nation. It was worth doing so much for Roland.

No matter what the outside world speculated, the Roland Empire remained silent after declaring war and no news was revealed.

What people didn’t know was that thanks to the efforts of the players, long-distance teleportation circles had been secretly established in the player base on Bewatt Star and the Cities of the Braves on Escher Star.

Once the players were excitedly preparing to connect the two teleportation circles to achieve the smuggling behavior, the magic circle player in charge of the connection heard the system notification in their ears.

[Ding~ You are trying to connect the ultra-long-distance teleportation circle between the Roland Empire and the Bewatt Empire. This action violates the supreme constitution of the Roland Empire and will infringe on multiple crimes such as espionage and treason. You will be disliked by the Roland faction and all NPCs in the Roland faction will have their favorability decreased to blood feud. Once they find your traces, they will hunt you down. Do you want to continue?]

The moment the player saw the notification, he was so scared that he started sweating. His legs went limp and he collapsed.

Was it that serious?
