Chapter 6607 The King Meets the King

Those at the top of the three empires actually knew that exiling Locust Sky and the locust swarms to the inner world was not a good thing, but considering how much harm Locust Sky would bring if it still existed on the surface, and what would happen if humans were prepared and dealt with Locust Sky in a place that would not endanger their own living environment, they decided to deal with Locust Sky first.

There isn't a lot of reason, it's just a simple and crude choice of the lesser of two evils.

After all, if the locusts were allowed to move around on the surface, the Roman Empire would be the first to be bombed, followed by the Kushan Empire. Even if the Han Empire was far away, it would probably have to be bombed as well. So when the proposal was passed from the Roman Empire to the Han Dynasty for evaluation, the Han Empire hesitated for a moment and then approved the proposal.

After all, the war is fought on a territory that does not belong to one's own. It is really cool to not have to repair the blown jars and pots. Just like the locust plague in East Africa this time, if it were not for the impact on the planet's climate, the Blazing Sky Ring could have solved the problem by blowing up East Africa with one blow. What immortal golden nature and the three realms breaking through to reach the golden elixir are all nonsense.

But the Roman Empire was held back by the Han Dynasty and could not use this killer move. To put it bluntly, it was because the earth was too small. If the three empires were built like this, in two or three moves, everyone would return to the Stone Age and live by gathering like monkeys, or at least have to go into the wasteland to pick up garbage.

Banishing Locust Sky to the inner side of the world did give Locust Sky a chance to catch its breath, and it might even develop again, but after the three empires took a breath and adjusted themselves, any one of them could have destroyed Locust Sky in a prepared battle. The reason why it was difficult this time was mostly because Locust Sky appeared too quickly, and none of the three empires were prepared, and they couldn't even send out a large army, so they could only send out elites.

If the three empires had known in advance that this thing was going to appear, to be honest, even the soil for its birth would have been dug up. Oh, it's not that it couldn't be born. It would most likely be like the African evil god, which is said to be a wonder of nature, but there are even orderly numbers inside.

Although the latter is difficult to control because there are too many people doing random things, but to be honest, the African evil god has never caused major unrest and is generally within controllable range.

"In other words, we will gather together again and go to the inner side of the world?" Rahula's face did not look good. They, the Kushans, were developing the resources inside the world and had a group of elite minotaurs as meat shields, preparing to do something fancy for the Han Dynasty. But, Rome and the Han Dynasty were also going to enter on a large scale?
"The exact time has not been agreed upon yet, but the three empires have already formed a record. After subsequent review, it will be implemented. As for the time, it will probably not be later than December this year." Yuside explained to Rahula.

As for the elite minotaurs, Chen Xi specially had someone capture a batch of samples and sent them thousands of miles away to Rome. The idea at that time was to let Rome stop causing trouble on the surface and capture minotaurs inside the world. However, just as the samples were sent over, a locust plague broke out in East Africa, and until now it is not known whether the minotaurs starved to death.

"Is that so? We'll discuss it later. However, we can't continue to invest on such a large scale next time." Guan Yu glanced at Jian Yong. The two had known each other for more than twenty years. He understood each other's intentions just by eye contact and spoke immediately.

Among the three empires in this wave, the Han Empire has mobilized the most manpower. If Guan Yu goes to the inner side of the world next time, he will definitely not agree to mobilize so many people. You must know that everyone who can come here is an elite of the Han Empire, and even if they are veterans, they are the top backbone.

"We will have more appropriate means by then." Severus nodded to Guan Yu, indicating that if they went to destroy the locusts at the end of the year, their preparations would be more complete, and they would not have to resort to such a hasty method as they are now. In order to suppress the third wave of locust plague, the three empires could only use the fastest means. After all, there was only one month left.

"Your Majesty." Just as Severus was expressing his gratitude to a group of generals and officers, Letas, who was paddling on the battlefield, approached Severus urgently, bowed, and said in a low voice.

"What's wrong? Letas." Severus said to Letas with a kind look on his face. The locust sky was sent to the inner side of the world, and most of the locust swarms were also sent in. The remaining locusts were not even able to reach the second round in terms of scale. Overall, it was considered barely resolved. Severus, who had been tired for so long, rarely smiled.

"His Majesty Vesudeva I has arrived in East Africa with his guards." Letas said in a low voice. Severus was stunned when he heard it, and then he realized why Vesudeva I came to kill him.

"Organize a ceremonial team, led by the vice emperor..." Severus quickly reacted and realized what level of reception he should prepare given Vesudeva I's status.

The vice emperor, that is, Perennis, was called the magistrate most of the time, but when necessary, Perennis was the real vice emperor. The incumbent emperor of the Kushan Empire brought his team to pay a state visit. Well, Severus actually knew that Vasudeva I was here to hold him accountable, but one should not hit a smiling person. If he gave enough face, the other party would not really get angry.

But compared to Severus, Perennis, who was at the forefront, was really half dead. He was only able to hold on thanks to his top-level realm breakthrough. If he went to host a party like this...

"Alessandro, how are you doing now?" Severus turned to look at Alessandro and asked. Since the vice emperor could not go, then he had to find someone who could be presentable. Although Virgilio would be fine, but since the vice emperor was not there, at least three senior receptionists would have to go.

"It's okay. I have barely suppressed the damage caused by the immortal gold attribute." Alessandro lowered his head and assessed his injuries. They were not fatal, but they were definitely not good.

"Then you, Virgilio and Vincenzo will form a reception team to welcome the Emperor of the Kushan Empire and take them to the main camp." Severus greeted Alessandro, Virgilio and Vincenzo. The three nodded and quickly went to greet them. Then Severus bowed slightly to the others to express his apology and left quickly.

"Vesudeva I actually came to East Africa?" Guan Yu turned his head and looked at Jian Yong and asked.

"Well, we already knew about this matter before, but we didn't expect the other party to come so quickly. I'm afraid he flew here under the protection of a boundary-breaking level expert. To be honest, he did seize a good opportunity. At other times, he might not dare to leave so directly." Jian Yong did not hide anything in response to Guan Yu's inquiry, and quickly told Guan Yu what he knew.

"If we fly directly from Kushan to East Africa, how do we deal with the small worlds on the way? You know, we still haven't solved the problem of the small worlds in the previous round." Zhang Liao supported Lu Bu and tried his best to inject internal energy into him, trying his best to help Lu Bu eliminate the backlash of the immortal gold nature. At the same time, he asked with some doubts. It is said that the density of small worlds in the ocean is not low.

"We in the Han Empire have also figured out the routes to the coastal areas." Jian Yong did not answer directly, but informed Zhang Liao of the situation of the Han Empire.

Zhou Yu is still very powerful. While working hard to adjust the military system in Southeast Asia, he is also constantly conducting verification voyages. Up to now, he has basically dredged the waterways from Southeast Asia to major ports along the coast of the Central Plains. Although even after the verification voyages, new small worlds will occasionally appear on the route, but generally speaking, Zhou Yu has rebuilt the coastal waterways.

Similarly, places like Jiaozhou and Panyu, which had previously been unable to operate at full capacity due to a lack of supplies from Southeast Asia, resulting in a slowdown in development, took off again after Zhou Yu opened up the waterway again.

"What about the ocean route?" Guan Yu asked with a frown.

"No, the Offshore Fisheries Administration has been verifying it repeatedly, but for now we can only say that the route to the East China Sea fishing grounds has been opened. As for offshore fisheries on a larger scale, there is probably no hope. In fact, we are vaguely disconnected from Fuso at the moment." Jian Yong said with a sigh.

"Ah? This shouldn't be possible." Li Tiao was shocked. He had been to Fuso. Although he did not rely on the Divine Land to enter the state of internal energy leaving the body, the life energy of the Divine Land had laid a solid foundation for Li Tiao. Without the life energy equivalent to several internal energy leaving the body, there would definitely not be Brother Tiao who has broken through the realm with his big arms now. Therefore, Li Tiao has a very good impression of Fuso.

"Yes, according to the current efficiency in Southeast Asia, this situation should not happen anyway." Seeing that it was Li Tiao, Jian Yong continued to explain. He was also quite curious about this.

"There couldn't be a rebellion." Wei Yan muttered from the side.

"There may be rebellion in Fusang, but they are unlikely to rebel against the Han Empire." Jian Yong shook his head and said, "According to the current investigation by the Fisheries Department, there are simply too many small worlds and their density is too high. There is no special reason. Of course, I don't really believe in so-called coincidences, but I really don't have much time, so I will let the Fisheries Department continue to investigate later."

Upon hearing this, Guan Hai recalled that he, who was considered a leader in the Fisheries Department, seemed to have indeed received some strange orders before. Now that he thought about it, it should have been Jian Yong.

"You still have the mind to discuss these?" Lu Su looked at Guan Yu and the others who were gathered in a circle, suppressing their own injuries while completely ignoring the current tasks and talking nonsense casually.

"Oh, Zijing." Jian Yong smiled and saluted when he saw Lu Su. Although Lu Su had made a big move, Jian Yong and Lu Su did not have too many entanglements, so even afterwards, Jian Yong's attitude towards Lu Su did not change much, and he was still as easy-going as before.

"It is not a good thing for us that Vasudeva I meets Severus." Lu Su used voice transmission to communicate, and after Guan Yu and Lu Bu heard Lu Su's voice transmission, they naturally used the magic to break the encryption to ensure that they would not be eavesdropped by others.

When Jian Yong heard Lu Su's words, he realized what the real big event was. Indeed, compared with the small world drift problem that had already occurred and was continuing to occur, the meeting between Severus and Vasudeva I was the real event that affected the world pattern.

Under normal circumstances, given the current imperial structure, it is very difficult for emperors to meet each other, so many things can only be discussed by their subordinates. On the one hand, such negotiations are extremely inefficient, and on the other hand, they will naturally avoid certain sensitive topics. As a result of the overall review, both parties will have a certain understanding before they start contacting each other.

But if the emperors of the two empires sit down face to face to discuss, then certain issues that are impossible for their subordinates to discuss will naturally arise in the meeting, and some topics that were originally unlikely to appear may also appear in the meeting because of the emperor's will.

To put it bluntly, this behavior means deeper communication.

"What was the reason for Vasudeva I to come here?" Lu Su looked at Jian Yong and asked. Compared to Jian Yong, who became the head of the Han Empire's rear in East Africa after his arrival, Lu Su's coming here could only be regarded as a trump card. Although this trump card was very powerful, his information channels were far less than Jian Yong's.

"Because of energy loss." Jian Yong instantly realized Lu Su's lack of intelligence. He had long been accustomed to Lu Su knowing more than himself, but at this moment Jian Yong suddenly realized that Lu Su was no longer the third-company disciple who used to hold the power of the Han Dynasty. In terms of information, he was even weaker than himself.

"I remember that the energy supply here is provided by the Kushans. It is impossible for the Kushans to be in a situation where they cannot afford to lose since they have accepted it." Lu Su frowned. If this is the case, the arrival of Vasudeva I was not a sudden idea, but a special opportunity to meet with Severus and discuss the long-term friendship between the Kushan Empire and the Roman Empire.

This is definitely not a good thing for the Han Dynasty, which is taking a breath and preparing to destroy the Kushan Empire. No matter what agreement is reached, it will not be good for the Han Dynasty.

“It’s not that we can’t afford to lose.” Jian Yong laughed dryly. The Kushan Empire accepted the task of energy transmission and was very reliable in the subsequent execution. However, the problem lies in this point of being very reliable.

The series of measures planned by the Han Empire and the Roman Empire in East Africa only consumed about 30% of the energy invested by the Kushan Empire.

For the researchers, these energy sources were just like the issued funds. If they were not spent, there would be no more next time. So when they discovered that there was still so much energy invested by the Kushan Empire, the elite researchers of the Han Empire and the Roman Empire acted decisively and studied all the technologies that had been unable to operate and verify due to insufficient energy.

About 30% was spent on the preliminary preparations for locust control, and 60% was spent on verifying and running the previous technology. The energy consumed by the former was just that much.

"Hiss." Lu Su took a breath of cold air.

Even though the Xuan Xiang that Lu Su used at the end had the effect of calling on the natural forces of heaven and earth, the energy flow inside was not small. After all, this was a terrifying formation that could truly mobilize the atmosphere of a planet. Just to activate it required a huge amount of energy. No matter how powerful one was, one still needed that little bit of force, not to mention the investment in changing the earth veins, mountains, rivers, and streams to form the Xuan Xiang...

Thinking about this, and considering the way the energy network is built, and the loss of large-scale energy injection during the circulation process, Lu Su's scalp tingled. And his Lu Su's Anti-Liangyi Binghuo Xuanxiang was just one of his main jobs on the surface, and it was already so exaggerated. Considering that more energy would evaporate from subsequent side jobs, Lu Su had to admire the magnanimity of the Kushan Empire.

"In that case, I can understand why Vasudeva I came. Without a doubt, just based on this astonishing energy loss, if I were in Vasudeva I's position, I would also come to kill him. Apart from anything else, this energy reserve alone is enough to be the trump card of an empire." Lu Su said with some shock, "The Kushan Empire is indeed second to none in terms of super-model cloud storage technology."

"That is to say, there is a high probability that Vasudeva I was being slaughtered like a pig by the Han and Romans, and after he realized what was happening, he rushed over in a rage." Zhao Yun roughly recalled the energy ring that had appeared in the sky before. To be honest, the scale of that energy was indeed scary. And considering that Sima Yi's Jedi Tiantong ritual was only one of his trump cards against the locust plague, the scale of energy used just to kill the locusts was already terrifying, not to mention that a larger portion of it was used for other things.

"That's understandable." Zhang Fei said with a somewhat sinister smile. Hua Guishuang was very happy to use his energy reserves to do what he wanted.

"It's not that simple." Lu Su glanced at Zhang Fei and said, "This is just an inducement, and this inducement is not enough to make Vasudeva I chase after him so quickly. If there is a real reason, even if it was this reason at the beginning, it should be other reasons now, and the reason you mentioned before will probably be used as a reason to put pressure on him."

Jian Yong nodded slightly upon hearing this. Even he had to admit this fact - even if Vasudeva I rushed out out of anger at first, wanting to denounce Rome and the Han Dynasty for wasting resources without any bottom line and seek compensation, but by the time he was halfway there, he should have come to his senses and started to consider how to maximize his benefits.

Even if Vasudeva I did not wake up, the wise men who followed him should have considered how to use this incident to deepen the cooperation between the two sides and turn disaster into blessing.

Lu Su's judgment was very correct. After the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty squeezed out 90% of the Kushan Empire's super-model cloud reserves in one go, Vasudeva I immediately sent someone to rush over when he discovered this fact. He wanted to find the people in charge of Rome and the Han Dynasty to see if they had any conscience. Everyone is standing on the standpoint of fighting for humanity, but you are digging holes and burying people?
You have to know that no matter how much the supermodel cloud gas is, it is an important resource that the Kushan Empire obtains from the non-noble classes. Even if it is not used as energy, its mere existence in Kushan is a deterrent to the Han Dynasty. How could it suddenly disappear like that?
Just keep silent and make it as loud as possible.
