Chapter 1492 The Wrath of Silvermoon City
Exploring the energy distribution of a planet is a massive undertaking. Even for Lin Fan, it took several days.
These past few days, the Finch family has remained immersed in the clamor brought by death; Chitose continues to go out to play every day; and Valelius still comes every single day without fail, trying every trick in the book to please her...
The Annie Demon continued to operate, but only Silvermoon City sensed the change.
At first, there were only intermittent and unstable energy fluctuations. But because the speed was so fast, similar to a flash, very few people noticed it.
The intervals between power outages became longer and easier to distinguish, most notably in the intermittent power supply—the flickering light source resembled a spasm, making one suspect that there might be a problem with the energy transmission system.
As a technological city-state, despite the prevalence of high technology, malfunctions are inevitable wherever manufacturing takes place. However, Silvermoon City has maintained its facilities very well over the years, and such a situation has never occurred before.
Some people condemned it, while others praised it.
Under immense pressure, the repair personnel conducted a thorough investigation but couldn't find the problem.
The problem wasn't solved; in fact, it got worse.
The power outages are becoming longer and longer, and due to frequent connection and sudden disconnection, many sensitive electrical appliances and equipment that require a continuous power input are experiencing damaging malfunctions.
Those who were originally a large number of people have also changed their attitudes because their lives have been severely affected.
The hovercar can't operate without power, and even ordinary household lighting and air purification equipment are suffering large-scale damage and need repair...
While the public can vent their grievances on social media, the damage and shutdown of core industrial equipment is what is fatal to Silvermoon City.
Silvermoon City's energy production far exceeds its own consumption by more than double, with a surplus.
Based on past energy reserves and consumption data, when the abnormal output was first discovered, no one thought that there was actually a shortage of energy; instead, everyone assumed that there was a problem with the machines or the transmission network.
After checking and confirming it several times until it was absolutely certain, the only option that hadn't been checked was that was impossible and could only be it.
So they investigated further and more meticulously...
Good heavens! This house has been robbed!
The Silvermoon City management was furious and utterly incredulous!
The hardworking people of Silvermoon have achieved their current happy and advanced life through their own efforts. The assistance from Crystal City has been minimal in this process.
Gradually, looking up to Jingyao City became a habit.
They are envious simply because there is more advanced technology and a better life there.
They revered the mountain of the Beast God simply because their faith was guarded there.
The relationship between the people of Silvermoon City and Crystal Radiance City has unknowingly become one of close estrangement. Or perhaps, a thin blood ties would be a more accurate description.
There is a real connection, but it doesn't seem that close.
The people of Silvermoon City have come this far through sheer hard work and dedication; their productivity represents the mainstream values of the Anemals. They look down on all creatures inferior to them based on their strength and are proud of their identity.
The energy they produce has actually been continuously supplied to Jingyao City, but it only accounts for a very small portion.
Crystal City didn't care about that little bit of energy; it was the people of Silvermoon City who argued their case and insisted on making some practical contribution to the Beast God. It was a kind of offering, which is why they managed to secure this ready-made energy transport link.
Over the years, the relationship with Jingyao City, while not exactly good, has remained peaceful. It's been a state of coldness, yet not a complete breakdown, of unfamiliarity.
But what's going on now?
Jingyao City seized the vast majority of their energy without even informing them.
Everyone in the upper management subconsciously checked their communication records, fearing they might have missed something.
But no, just like a transmission system without faults, they found nothing.
That's very disrespectful. If it's because the incident happened suddenly and people acted expediently in an emergency, that's understandable.
But it's been several days already? Silvermoon City's normal production and daily life have been completely disrupted, almost brought to a standstill, and the people are full of complaints, while Crystal City remains completely silent...
Do they think it's perfectly normal to take things from Silvermoon City without asking?
Silvermoon City doesn't have much respect for Graystone Settlement either, but this is based on the fact that Graystone Settlement itself is backward and unworthy of respect.
Moreover, the people of Silvermoon City disdained using the outdated gadgets of the Graystone settlement. On the surface, they at least showed a certain degree of respect.
So, is Crystal City worse to them than they are to Graystone Settlement?
The management found it unbelievable, but considering Jingyao City's usual behavior, it seemed quite reasonable.
Insults, contempt... before the many hurtful emotions could be processed, another undeniable question arose in my mind.
What suddenly happened in Crystal City? Why is there such a large energy gap?
Is it possible that they are not saying it because it is inconvenient for them to say?
But what could be... that would have such a huge impact, yet is something that's inconvenient to talk about?
Lord Beast God! !
The people of Silvermoon City were not stupid; they quickly figured it out and sent a letter to Valerius seeking confirmation.
Even when official statements are filled with overwhelming emotion, the language still carries a sense of restraint and discipline.
The message was sent out, but it disappeared without a trace.
One day, two days, three days... The leader of Silvermoon City didn't believe that the training system was malfunctioning, but he still went to Crystal Radiance City in person.
If he couldn't find Valerius for several days in a row and still didn't realize that Valerius was hiding from him, he would truly be a fool.
He couldn't get up Beast God Mountain because the temple was old and in disrepair and was under maintenance.
He wasn't sure if the Beast God was in trouble, and of course, he didn't want him to be. So despite his doubts, he didn't dare to act rashly in the face of uncertainty.
They returned to Silvermoon City with news that was both certain and uncertain. The group was deeply troubled by Silvermoon City's current energy shortage.
Should uncertain information be made public?
Despite the obvious signs from Jingyao City, they've stirred up internal conflict... Do they really want to make the first move?
Moreover, the Beast God would surely feel heartbroken and disappointed if he saw this...
Crystal City completely disregarded Silvermoon City's energy shortage, ignored the lives of Silvermoon City's inhabitants, and didn't even bother to ask beforehand or explain afterward...
How is this any different from blatant plunder?
Is it because they share the same origin and are both orcs that their original evil deeds have a legitimate reason?
Should we really tolerate such blatant disrespect and exploitation?
They weren't those useless people from Graystone; they were the elite of the Annimo, possessing the purest beast souls and representing the most capable class...
Do we really have to submit to those "bastards" who have been high and mighty for too long, who have abandoned the honor of the beastmen, who live in the disguise of humans all day long, who are neither human nor beast, who brazenly blaspheme the gift of the Beast God, and who seem no different from useless humans?
They struggled repeatedly in their dilemma, trying to come up with other solutions.
Making the decision to start a war is never easy. Conflict will also lead to casualties and setbacks in Silvermoon City, which is not something the Silvermoon City administration wants to see.
But just then, shocking news broke on the Silvermoon City social forum.
"The nobles of Crystal City are using human gene fusion experiments to enhance the strength of their beast souls."
"The Beast God is long dead!"
"The corpse of the Beast God is still being ruthlessly exploited to maintain the extravagant lifestyle of Crystal City..."
The people of Silvermoon City were instantly in an uproar.
