Chapter 395 Emergency Meeting, Unlucky Horus
Li Yu's title and military appointment have not yet been announced. According to normal procedures, he is not qualified to participate in high-level meetings.
However, it must have been Vimala's secret efforts that allowed him to attend the high-level meeting.
Back in his room, the projection equipment emitted a bright blue light, covering the entire room.
"Authorization verification passed, information flow encrypted..."
As the mechanized voice sounded, the entire room turned into a huge council hall. The circular hall was almost full of people, all of whom were remote virtual projections.
This was Li Yu’s first time attending Guixing’s high-level meeting, and he felt somewhat curious.
He looked around and saw organisms of all races, but the highest proportion was still interstellar humans.
His seat was right in the middle, not at the end but not too far to the front either.
On the left and right sides are two generals in military uniforms with different insignias on their bodies. It is unknown which fleet they are the commanders of.
Seeing him appear here, many people cast strange looks at him, and then whispered to their familiar colleagues.
Since it is a remote virtual projection, secret communication is also carried out through communication equipment, which is difficult for outsiders to hear.
Only a few people who were closer smiled kindly at Li Yu, most likely they were from Vimala's camp.
Li Yu also found Titus at the front. He sat in his seat with his eyes closed, while Alexei gave him an inexplicable smile in the corner.
Li Yu did not interact with others. He waited quietly for the meeting to begin while checking the message briefing.
There is almost no delay in the transmission of information in the interstellar society, and it has only been about six hours since Horus was seriously injured.
An emergency meeting was held here, and the briefing on the specific details stated that the details of the war were too complicated to be explained in just a few words.
Not long after, Vimala's figure appeared in the seat in the center, and Klein also appeared with her. She sat behind Vimala with her head down.
This is also the role she plays in meetings most of the time - a nobody with no sense of presence.
With the appearance of Vimala, the private communications among the top leaders gradually stopped, and they looked at the queen who was once again in charge of the political affairs of Guixing.
Vimala was always decisive and did not waste time. She said directly, "You already know the general situation. Commander-in-Chief Horus has requested support. What suggestions do you have?"
There is a big difference between Vimala controlling government affairs and Tigor controlling government affairs. In incidents like this, Tigor has absolute say.
If they say support, we support; if they say withdraw, we withdraw.
But Vimala does not have this ability and must seek the consent of the vast majority of senior executives, which is why she is always thinking about increasing her influence.
"this……"
As soon as Vimala finished speaking, everyone started talking. This was not a private conversation, but they spoke directly in the conference hall.
The surroundings became extremely noisy, and Li Yu couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the scene that was like a vegetable market.
However, those who were shouting loudly and noisily were the people in the middle and back, while the bigwigs in the front did not say much.
Titus didn't even open his eyes, still resting with his eyes closed.
"Queen, we only know a rough outline of whether the specific battle report has been prepared, so it is difficult to make a decision." Someone said loudly, gaining a consensus.
"Yes..." Vimala nodded, and then a huge projection appeared in the center of the hall, with battle videos interspersed among a large amount of text so that everyone could see clearly.
Every word in the battle report of such a large-scale battle is very important, so everyone perked up and read carefully.
"...a small fleet of the Troll Legion was found to have invaded the defense zone. The commander of the Fourth Fleet of the Expeditionary Force issued an order to block it..."
"…It took thirteen minutes to drive away the enemy's invading fleet…"
"...and this is just a feint attack by the troll army. There are more than 100,000 warships approaching from the flank through psionic coverage..."
"...Commander Horus's advance arrangements allowed us to learn the purpose of their sneak attack..."
The battle report was standard, and some of the military orders contained therein did not seem to be problematic in the eyes of the experienced commanders present.
Such battles had been fought countless times before. If Horus had only the troll army, he would not have been defeated.
The key lies in one sentence -
"… Three hours into the war, an unknown, extremely dangerous life form suddenly appeared and attacked Commander-in-Chief Horus…"
"...The Troll Legion did not miss this opportunity. Commander-in-Chief Horus was seriously injured and had to order a retreat..."
When one of the battle videos was enlarged, one could clearly see a white light breaking through layers of obstacles and killing the black figure in the battle.
Then a powerful battle broke out between the two, and even the battle video was a little blurry, probably due to interference.
Then, a terrifying figure emerged from the troll army, making the battle even more massive.
The battle video was sped up many times. After about forty minutes, the black armor was thrown out of the battle group with many cracks on its body.
Under the cover of that huge interstellar fortress, they retreated hastily.
"...The highest combat energy level is over 20 million calories, which is an A4-level life form. According to Commander Horus, the person who attacked him should be the leader of the [White Rebellion] - Yodel Liusu..."
"【White Death Rebels】!?" Someone was very surprised: "Why are they there? Aren't they active in the spiritual realm?"
"I'm more curious about why Yodel attacked Horus."
"They are an organization similar to the Reformers, but more radical. Under normal circumstances, they would not cooperate with the Star Empire."
"This is a provocation to Guixing. We should contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Spirituals to jointly strangle the [White Rebellion]..."
“…”
Everyone spoke up and put forward various opinions. Under normal circumstances, Horus should not have fallen into such a dangerous situation before the arrival of the Four-Armed Titan Legion.
However, now because of the sudden emergence of the [White Rebellion], they had to temporarily evacuate, and they themselves were seriously injured.
"For now, there is no intelligence that can explain the reason why he launched the attack. I have sent people to negotiate..." Vimala said in a deep voice.
She was also very unhappy. This sudden news disrupted many of her plans.
Now that Horus is seriously injured, the situation in Borderland has suddenly tilted. The plan to expand Li Yu's influence again in a short period of time may not be able to be carried out for the time being.
"It is said that the leader of the White Rebellion, Yodel, is a man who hates evil." Such words suddenly sounded from a position farther back.
Li Yu, who was daydreaming, was suddenly shocked when he heard these words, and he thought of something.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was the head of the Central Galaxy's law enforcement department, who was responsible for the security of the Central Galaxy.
But because the central information is too secure, his presence is extremely low and he only deals with petty thefts on a daily basis.
"What does Minister Andy mean?" Vimala looked at him with cold eyes.
Andy couldn't help but shrink his head. Originally, he just had a flash of inspiration, but he didn't expect to attract Vimala's attention. Now he gritted his teeth and said:
"It just occurred to me that Commander Horus was attacked by many people before he left the Central System. "
"Those people are ordinary citizens of the Central System. There is no problem with them in their three hundred generations. However, they all have one thing in common, which is that they speak up for justice and hate evil."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference hall fell into a brief silence.
"Haha..." Someone sneered. It was a fleet commander. He had some personal grudge against Andy, and now he showed no mercy when he saw the opportunity to mock Andy.
"Minister Andy, what you mean is that the people who are attacking Commander Horus now are all righteous people?"
Everyone felt that this was a little outrageous when they heard it; even Titus opened his eyes with a strange look on his face.
It can't be said that those who hate evil dislike Horus, so what kind of heinous crime did Horus commit to deserve such treatment?
Titus shook his head and closed his eyes again. Alexei's mouth was almost stretched to his ears.
It's so interesting. Because this person is just the right amount of stupid, sometimes he can't even tell whether he is really stupid or just pretending.
If this is the reason, it is too ridiculous.
Andy's face turned green and red, and he explained: "I just thought about it..."
“Haha…” The commander sneered, “It’s obvious that this is a conspiracy against Commander Horus. As the head of the law enforcement department, I can’t find anything, let alone say that.”
"Now you are still using this reason to explain why Commander Horus was ambushed? Ridiculous..."
Andy was choked and speechless, and could only curse in his heart.
Li Yu had a strange expression on his face and looked at Minister Andy with a little sympathy. In fact, the possibility that the other party mentioned was not low.
[Obtain special item - Batman's Life and Death Hostility: After locking the target, the target will be hostile to the justice side creatures, and they may attack the target at any time. ]
He still remembered that he had cast a spell on Horus because the old man secretly wanted to kill him.
Li Yu just wanted to disgust the other person, but he didn't expect that thing to have such a great effect.
Of course, Li Yu couldn't be sure that this was the real reason, because no one knew why the [White Rebellion] appeared in No Man's Land.
There is also a high possibility that they will cooperate with the Star Empire.
"If that's really the reason, Mr. Horus, I can only say sorry..." Li Yu said silently.
Now the two of them belong to the same camp, and he really doesn't want to see Horus in trouble, but what a pity... what a pity... Li Yu suppressed the smile that appeared inadvertently.
"This information is still under investigation. The key question now is whether or not to provide support?" Vimala interrupted the discussion that had strayed off topic, brought it back to the topic, and said:
"I propose to send troops to support. This battle was started by His Majesty Tigor. We cannot retreat like this, otherwise the reputation of His Majesty will be damaged."
This is Vimala's attitude. She tried her best to encourage Horus to lead the army in order to make him return to the top. What's the matter with him returning now that he is seriously injured?
"I suggest that Horus withdraw his troops. There is no benefit to be gained in the No Man's Land. Continuing will only be a meaningless waste of strength."
The person who spoke was General Aiser, who had been silent all this time. As the current spokesperson of the military, if the old man Horus gained the right to speak again, it would damage his direct interests.
Vimala frowned slightly. This was also a rather troublesome issue. If she wanted support, she had to get the support of the military, otherwise it would be difficult to succeed.
But allowing Horus to return to his peak would obviously harm Aesir's interests, and it would be difficult for him to support it.
After General Aiser spoke up, many people who opposed sending troops spoke up. Li Yu roughly estimated that there were quite a few of them .
There was indeed no need to continue fighting in No Man's Land. With the advantage, Horus returned in triumph, and most of the people present did not gain any benefits.
If we lose, we might suffer a lot of losses, so it is better not to fight.
Titus remained silent and did not express any opinion, so the people in his camp were also silent.
Looking around, Vimala had anticipated this situation and was well prepared. Her face was calm, and she waved her hand. A video appeared on the holographic screen:
"...The Xingyao Empire has a long reach. If we don't hurt them this time, they might reach into our territory next time..."
This was Tigor's speech about launching another war. Vimala said in a cold voice: "His Majesty Tigor has only been absent for a few days. Do you want to overturn his decision?"
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Since Tigor had not been in seclusion for long, his dignity remained and no one dared to say anything at this moment.
"Do you want me to disturb His Majesty Tigor at this critical moment?!" Vimala shouted.
The faces of those who held opposing opinions changed slightly. If Tigor was allowed to come out, the war would have to continue.
The voices of opposition gradually died down, and Titus's face became calm. He had expected this answer.
Tigor still has some influence, and now is not the right time to change his decision.
"What do you think, General Ethel..." Vimala then turned her gaze towards Ethel.
Many bigwigs had anticipated this situation, so they did not express their opinions before.
However, as the person who suffered the most from this incident, Aysel had to speak up, otherwise how would his brothers look at him?
Horus hasn't come back yet, and you're afraid?
Athel's tone remained calm: "I still hold an objection, but we do need to send troops to prevent Horus from falling into a more dangerous situation."
Vimala knew that this was a sign of Ethel's concession, so she didn't press the issue any further. She nodded and said, "In that case, let's discuss the personnel and scale of support as soon as possible."
Even so, Vimala was not in a good mood.
The resistance to the support was not great because it had not been long since Tigor's "retreat". It would not be so easy next time.
She also couldn't understand why Yodel suddenly attacked Horus.
She had originally planned to use the Tigor card when the Four-Armed Titan Legion arrived in the Borderlands.
And now it can only be used in advance because of this sudden change.
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up: "I remember that the commander of the Black Eye Fleet has not yet taken office."
As soon as these words were spoken, many eyes were focused on Li Yu.
