Chapter 294: Methods And Capabilities (2/2)
Lu Yin grinned. He had obviously written it himself and then collected on two oaths to get these notices published. It was impossible to use the oaths to force the Watermoon Villa or the Xun Family to wage war against the Ross Empire, but sending a warning wasn’t a problem. When a couple more notices also popped up, the Ross Empire would become terrified. While they were confident that these organizations wouldn’t actually intervene, they would still nonetheless have to stop the war after taking everything into consideration. This was because these two identical notices from powerful organizations were a clear indication that someone was trying to make their stance known, and it also meant that this person was more than what they seemed. The Ross Empire would surely be afraid of the possible consequences, because the universe was truly mysterious.
Lu Yin’s gadget beeped again, indicating that another notice had been published. “The Outerverse’s Bard Weave’s Saiki Palace has officially denounced the Ross Empire’s campaign against the Outerverse’s Great Yu Empire. Furthermore, they have stated that the Innerverse should not meddle in the matters of the Outerverse. The Ross Empire has used military force to suppress the Great Yu Empire, resulting in the revolting loss of countless lives. The Saiki Palace hereby officially warns the Ross Empire and asks it to halt its campaign and allow the universe to return to peace.’”
This notice was worded slightly differently since the Saiki Palace was an organization from the Outerverse. However, its contents were very surprising since it included the phrase “revolting.” With this, the Ross Empire would have no choice but to consider the possibility of several different Outerverse organizations banding together against them.
After that, even more notices appeared, some from Innerverse organizations and others from Outerverse organizations.
An hour later, all of the ministers in the hall were thoroughly stunned. A total of thirteen warning letters from thirteen different organizations had been posted, with each one addressed to the Ross Empire. The organizations came from both parts of the Human Domain, and some of them were no weaker than the Ross Empire. With so many of these notices being published, the Ross Empire would definitely need to consider withdrawing its troops if its leaders weren’t stupid.
The ministers looked up at Lu Yin, who was sitting idly next to the throne. For the first time, they had a feeling that this young Royal Regent should not be underestimated. He had single-handedly resolved this war that had affected the entire Frostwave Weave.
Lu Yin kept looking at his gadget with a smile on his face, not minding the fact that all of the ministers were looking at him strangely. Nobody voiced any objections at this moment.
Pi Lu bowed low. “Please forgive me for my earlier actions, Your Majesty.”
Lu Yin looked up. “There’s no need for that. You did well.” After saying that, he finally put his gadget down. He stood up, and his expression turned stern. “The Ross Empire will probably try to end the war. But regardless of what conditions they put forth, reject everything.”
One of the ministers below hastily asked, “What if the Ross Empire demands compensation for the war?”
“Like I said, reject everything.” Lu Yin’s voice was cold.
The minister was startled by the curt response and quickly bowed.
“This war was just a farce. We, the Great Yu Empire, have suffered the worst damage, and I’m already being benevolent by not demanding compensation from them. They are now the ones in the passive position. Besides, with those thirteen warning letters, they won’t want this war to wage on for any longer,” Lu Yin said.
The rest acknowledged his words.
“Spread the news, announcing that the Great Yu Empire thanks everyone for their help. Say that the peace of the universe is what we of the Great Yu Empire value above all and that we hope to create a peaceful relationship with everyone.
“Bring the residents that fled from Zenyu Star back and conduct a census of the population. Console the family of those who died. I will use my status as Royal Regent to compensate the families of any commoners who died.
“Arrange for the funeral of His Majesty, Undying Yushan. You must also construct a cenotaph for the members and descendants of the Yushan family.
“Repair the three rings of Zenyu Star and increase their defenses.
“Remove the traitor status from the second prince, Duke Yushan, and arrange for him to receive a royal funeral. Remove the traitor status from the Captain of the Seventh Squadron, Batson, and bury him as a captain. Remove the traitor status from the Captain of the Tenth Squadron, Felt, and bury him as a captain. Remove the traitor status from the Captain of the Eighth Squadron, Shalosh, and Captain of the Twelfth Squadron, Ban Jiu, as well.”
…
Lu Yin gave at least twenty orders in one go, and the ministers hurriedly noted everything down.
If Lu Yin had not managed to stop the war, then his orders would not have been carried out even if he had held a higher position. However, things were different now. He had managed to avert the empire’s crisis with a wave of his hand, thus gaining the reputation of being mysterious, powerful, and worthy of respect. Nobody dared to go against any of his orders anymore.
The meeting continued for a record-breaking three hours, which rarely happened during meetings between the Great Yu Empire’s upper echelons. While everyone was leaving afterwards, Lu Yin asked Ban Jiu to stay behind.
Huo Qingshan was very confused. Ban Jiu and Lu Yin had virtually never interacted in the past, but this person had been asked to stay behind for some reason.
Ban Jiu also found this request very surprising. He wondered if it had something to do with Sicar, but that didn’t seem very likely to him.
“I hear that you have some understanding of technology, Captain Ban Jiu. I have a question for you.” Lu Yin then walked closer to him and whispered, “If I want to transfer an important document into the Ross Empire, is it possible to do it without letting them discover it?”
Ban Jiu’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Lu Yin in shock. “You mean…”
Lu Yin handed him a document. “Send this over to the Ross Empire and make sure that they don’t find out where it’s from. Can you do that?”
Ban Jiu took a look at it, and his expression immediately changed. “This is information regarding the military matters of the empire?”
Lu Yin merely stared at Ban Jiu.
