Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1422 - 1387: The War You Wanted - End!

Socotra Island, located near the mouth of Aden Bay on Blue Star, suddenly bustled with noise and excitement as tens of thousands of visitors arrived.

The island was originally home to the direct and affiliated personnel of the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee Headquarters, refugees escaping the invasion crisis by "Sagali" and awaiting immigration to the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, all living their lives in an orderly manner, peaceful and stable, until these long-awaited media personnel set foot on the island. Like a pack of starving rats, they scurried around, trying to poke into everything they could, even wanting to dismantle the "Stargate" barehanded, making them more of a nuisance than Chen Xiao'er.

If the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee Headquarters hadn't moved temporarily from the hinterlands of the Yangzhou Continent, Hablav City, creating a moderately large city from nothing on the island to accommodate immigrants from around the world, it would have been impossible to support so many people's needs for food, drink, shelter, and travel in such a short time.

It's hard to imagine that just a year ago, Socotra Island was still a desolate island with few inhabitants, only camps with airships taking off and landing, occasionally spotting a human figure, mostly managed by machines and engineering machinery outside the automated planting zones around the camp.

A press conference open to the global media is about to be held here, so some extra island entry slots were specially made available.

Otherwise, with the rigidity of Artificial Intelligence AI, it would have been tough to allow so many people to suddenly enter through the transit station on the opposite Desert Peninsula of the Aden Bay, boarding scheduled airship flights to Socotra Island. There are no other channels to get on the island, and those who approach without permission face one outcome: being shot down or sunk, leaving no burial site, and more than a thousand wronged souls have perished this way. This lesson can be rectified in the next life.

Despite strictly reviewing and limiting island entry slots, the media personnel fully demonstrated what it means to "do fireworks shows with a little bit of color" and their professional spirit and skills, inevitably producing some discordant voices, even discovering contraband weapons during security checks.

"Down with the dictator!"

"Devils of Blue Star Civilization, we want peace, not warmongers!"

"Open private planets, everything must be shared!"

"Silan people get out, the species of Cangqiong Star go back home!"

"Open your eyes, someone is just like the 'Lord of the Sky,' a tyrant and a killer!"

"Beware of warmongers, eradicate evil and its seeds!"

"We want peace, not war!"

"The most dangerous S-Class superpower user in history!"

"..."

The complex and ever-changing thinking of the Intelligent Species always finds ways to evade Artificial Intelligence defenses.

Various demons and ghosts held banners and signs, somehow smuggled onto the island, gathering outside the press conference venue, chanting in waves, stirring up momentum, especially when the media cameras focused on them, they shouted even more enthusiastically, almost accusing Chen Fei of being the greatest villain in the world.

"I said there's no need to hold this press conference."

Shen Fei, who came to Socotra Island with Chen Fei, always opposed this press conference from the start.

Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, her boyfriend turned from savior to public enemy, embodiment of evil, the very symbol of hegemonism and dictatorism, that must be toppled and trampled a thousand times.

This reversal is hard to believe, are right and wrong so mindless?

Hmm!

Absolutely mindless!

Apart from The First Sovereign, anti-intellectualism prevails on Europa and the American Continent.

"I shattered Cangqiong Star into thirty-three pieces; I ought to give some account, not only to Blue Star Civilization but also to those Cangqiong Star immigrants moving to the 'Boundary Pearl' Life Space."

Although this was the result of Xiao Jiu's good work (literally), Chen Fei, as a responsible father to the bird, must acknowledge. After all, this burden cannot be shifted; even if thrown off, it would be returned.

Furthermore, he doesn't want to fight among themselves over various nonsensical figures of speech within his domain; such internal strife is utterly meaningless.

Hence, a formal and public press conference is essential to respond effectively to rumors trying to replace the truth, to avoid being led by the nose and becoming a pawn for others to exploit.

Though societal opinion has less substantial impact on particular groups than people imagine, if used as an excuse for provocation, it's a different matter entirely. After all, a small packet of laundry powder can justify a war; as for the truth, who cares!

The "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, newly accommodating the Cangqiong Star Civilization, from a blank slate and struggling to develop, requires constant "blood transfusions"; relying solely on the materials brought by the Slan Dynasty is still far from enough. Chen Fei's unwilling to let Blue Star Civilization's support to the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space be interrupted; after all, aren't free resources wonderful?

Simple matters of enduring humiliation, if necessary, still need to be done.

Besides, it's nowhere near the point of having to eat filth.
