Yatai Policy: The New Order of the Mainland

Chapter 933 (Part 1)

"An alien race? Where did they come from?"

"I've never heard of such a race before! Are they a country?"

"Dominate? Dominate what?"

"Could it be the work of the elements? I heard that spirit orbs have appeared in the world in the past year, and they want to transform into human form!"

"Could this be a delaying tactic by the Kino? I heard their high command has been severely damaged by McCann..."

"This is too bizarre! The Yatai Continent experiences turmoil every few decades. Could it also be the work of foreign races?"

"It's a dog-eat-dog world. It doesn't matter who's in charge. What does it have to do with small countries like ours?"

"Are wasps that powerful? Can't you subdue them even if you throw out a few heavy weapons?"

"Seeing is believing, that's unreliable. With Kino's abilities, it's not impossible for him to create some false illusions!"

"The Kino people rarely lie, but where do they get their intelligence from? It's all just empty talk!"

"..."

There were many conflicting opinions, and the square outside Masse City was in complete chaos.

Listening to these discussions, Dai Yun felt a deep sense of helplessness. Faced with people with vastly different understandings, diverse demands, and completely different historical and cultural traditions, how could he express what kind of devastating blow the existence of the Wasps would bring to the Yatai Continent? He and Miao Qingfeng and other high-ranking members of the Kino organization studied the matter for a long time before finally deciding to tell them the truth, but the effect seemed to be less than satisfactory.

"Wasps are completely different from humans and elemental spirit orbs. They lack the emotions we recognize, and their fundamental purpose in targeting the Yatai Continent is to plunder the planet's core resources. All living beings here will be meaningless to them! At this critical moment, I implore you all to listen to me, put aside your grudges, unite against this common enemy, and work together with one heart and one mind. Perhaps we can overcome this calamity together!" Dai Yun forced himself to speak, then his face turned pale, and sweat beaded on his forehead, clearly indicating that he was on the verge of death from the poison.

"Please stop talking. We've done our best and left the rest to fate. The Yatai Continent doesn't belong to the Qino family. Let's leave it at that!" Leng Ning said in a rare, gentle tone, as she tried to channel life energy into Dai Yun, but to little avail.

The reaction at the scene greatly pleased Etesban, who felt that the situation had finally returned to its predetermined course. He had anticipated that Daiyun would use the "Wasp" threat as leverage, but he hadn't expected Kino to be so oblivious to the situation. Could a few simple words and a video of dubious authenticity really unite the people of Yatai Continent? It was utterly delusional.

"Isn't the 'Wasp' theory a bit too alarmist?!" With Vardon's pawn failing, Garcia seized the opportunity to take the lead. He stepped forward and said, "While everyone's questions are varied, they all boil down to a few points: What concrete evidence proves the existence of the Wasp race and their ambitions for the Yatai continent? Where did Kino's intelligence come from, and how can its credibility be proven? If, as Advisor Daiyun says, the Wasps have ambitions to seize the throne of Yatai, they must possess corresponding strength. So why haven't they launched a direct attack yet?" Garcia's words hit the nail on the head, immediately drawing a chorus of agreement. Seeing this, he was quite pleased and continued, "If the Wasps' power far exceeds our mortal comprehension, then even if we unite, we're probably no match for them. If that's the case, instead of trying to stop a chariot with our bare hands, why not make peace and preserve the human bloodline? Finally, a person can't function without a head, a bird can't fly without a head. Even if we want to unite everyone, who will be the leader? Who can command respect?"

"I was there during the Battle of Zidu..." With this voice, several guards from the Kino camp pushed out an old man sitting in a four-wheeled cart. The man had white hair and beard, and both his legs were broken, but fortunately his eyes were still bright and piercing, flashing with anger and hatred.

“Weng Huan…the God of War of Bai Mu…” Many people had heard the news of the coup in Bai Mu and the deaths of the leader Ni Yan and the commander-in-chief Chi Tang on the spot, but they did not expect that this famous and controversial successor would also come to the venue, and he looked to be disabled.

Ignoring all the speculation and gossip, Weng Huan focused his attention and loudly recounted what had happened. Although he was not good with words, he had experienced it firsthand, so his story sounded quite credible.

"The so-called facts told by the victors of the coup are simply unconvincing! Hundred Eyes is not a powerful nation, and even if the Wasps were cultivating puppets, they wouldn't choose the leader of a small country, would they?! Besides, it's not necessarily true that Gongzhuang Yitian and Qianfeng were transformed into monsters by the Wasps. There are all sorts of strange and wonderful techniques in the world, and it's not uncommon for those who haven't reached a certain level to mistake a master's holy technique for an evil one!" A sarcastic voice rang out, not only completely denying the existence of the Wasps, but also filled with disdain and hostility towards Hundred Eyes.

Interestingly, the person who made these remarks was the leader of a small country within the Ruhr confederation, named Dawu. He had been publicly advocating for joining the Ilpu Alliance, and only recently joined the Ruhr confederation out of fear that the internal strife within the Ilpu Alliance would affect him. It seems his remarks were an expression of indignation on behalf of Hyakume, who had previously maintained good relations with Ruhr, for suddenly siding entirely with Kino.

“Dawu, watch your words…” Mijin frowned and warned, but was interrupted by a look from Valoya, who said, “The Peace Conference is all about speaking freely.”

"Hehe! This is interesting!" In the crowd, Qiu Yuanshan, the leader of the Shadows, whispered to his wife Yuan Yao, "I didn't expect that people in the Rurs camp would openly oppose Kino, and that Valoja not only didn't stop him, but even encouraged him. Could it be that he's going to change course and join forces with McKen?!"

Qiu Yuanshan's words represented the views of most people present, especially causing a stir in the Kino camp. If the potential alliance with Lurs faced uncertainty, then the strategy of fighting against McKen would lose its foundation.

"It can't be that bad!" Yuan Yao pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then replied softly, "The former Chahan Empire and the current Ruers are both sworn enemies of McKen. There are too many dirty tricks between them, and there is basically no basis for trust. Even if they are for common interests, it is difficult to truly cooperate. Even if they temporarily join forces, I'm afraid they will not achieve the desired effect because they still have to be wary of each other while working together."

"Hmm..." Qiu Yuanshan nodded, sighing with regret, "When McKen and Ruls were vying for supremacy, it was precisely when Kino was working hard and returning to its peak. Judging from the reality of these years, Kino has indeed done better in terms of keeping promises and honors. It's a pity that they lack the ambition to dominate and are hesitant in their actions. Otherwise, even if Dawu had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to question them in public!"

“Seeing is not necessarily believing! Didn’t we get intelligence that Maisan’s men were planning to assassinate Valoja? Maisan is clearly siding with Kino, and maybe the Ruhrers are taking this opportunity to vent their anger!” Yuan Yao said, changing her perspective.

"It's more likely that this is a conspiracy between Maisan and the Ruhrers. On the surface, there's a conflict, but in reality, they've already devised a way to deal with McKen together. I don't believe that fat man would be so stupid as to not even be able to keep an eye on his own men. Besides, after the incident, wasn't he released by Valoja?" Qiu Yuanshan was indeed shrewd and had thought things through one step further.

"Huh? Who's that? He looks kind of familiar!" Yuan Yao suddenly pointed at the field and exclaimed.

Qiu Yuanshan: Mai Sang, where are you having a good time?
