Chapter 1507 The Silver Moon Sets
Valerius was having a headache over how to deal with the Silvermoon people.
Kill them... Silvermoon City's basic industries still need them to operate.
The people of Jingyao City are used to a life of luxury, and even if they are forced to take over, they will need time to learn.
Moreover, Silvermoon City's population is several times that of Crystal City. Even if the Crystal people could seamlessly integrate, it would leave a huge unfillable production capacity gap.
But we can't kill him...
Their riot not only defied the highest will of Crystal City and disrupted the stability of Anniemo, but also carried out unauthorized massacres in the Yellow Earth District and even attacked Crystal City.
If we don't kill them, where will Jingyao City's prestige be?
Even if the Silvermoon people were dead all over Crystal City, it would not be enough to quell Valerius's hatred.
If they hadn't acted recklessly, how could things have come to this?
Attacks on the highest regime are tantamount to treason, and those people deserve to die!
On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?
If rebellious thoughts arise, they will become a menace sooner or later if the roots are not removed!
But if they're all killed... what will happen to Silvermoon City's production capacity?
Just when he was in a dilemma, the gray stone man jumped out and gave him a completely new idea.
Don't the Silvermoon people think they're so great? Don't they realize that without the support and indulgence of Crystal City, would they be where they are today?
In the eyes of the Silvermoon people, the Graystone people are trash, and the Yellow Earth people are filth.
But in Jingyao City's eyes, everyone outside of Jingyao City is an ant.
The Silvermoon people got one thing wrong from the very beginning—
Their success today is not due to their own abilities, but rather to the extent that Jingyao City allows them to be powerful.
Silvermoon City is the Silvermoon City of Crystal City.
Since they're disobedient, let's replace them with a group of obedient and capable people. Or, it's not impossible for Anniemo to have another Graystone City.
Compared to the Silvermoon people who consider themselves elites and talk about human rights and freedom, the Graystone people who are still struggling at the bottom and only want a better life are the most suitable inferior alternatives—they want less and are obedient.
As for the technological gap... it's not difficult to bridge.
The scarcity of graystone is limited by the resources and knowledge they have access to. While Silvermoon is advanced, most of its technological and industrial processes have already been replaced by machinery.
In terms of manual skills alone, they may not be better than the Greystone people who make a living by manual labor year after year.
The damage to the energy system was limited to the piping; the core energy reactor remained undamaged, and the operation did not require highly technical expertise.
Now, the lack of energy-powered machinery has rendered it completely useless. Simple pipeline repairs, not involving core technology, are no problem for the Graystone people.
Silvermoon people! Do you really think you can't do without them?
joke!!
After Impelli relayed Valerius's decision, all the Greystone people present immediately stopped cheering.
"Am I dreaming? Did they say we can live in Silvermoon City? Pinch me!"
"No, no! The highest-ranking official promised that as long as we repair the damaged equipment and restore Silvermoon City to its original state, we can stay and live here!"
"This time I really made the right choice! I was worried they'd have to steal it by force, but now, hehe... what's it called again?"
"Whatever it's called! I'm a Silvermoon person now! I'm never going back to that wretched place, never living in that shabby house again, oh ho~~"
While the Graystone people were overjoyed, the Silvermoon people, who had always been tough, completely broke down.
Their confidence stems from their indispensable role, but if that role can also be replaced...
Of course, they also knew in their hearts that, for the time being, how could the brain capacity of that group of trash from Graystone, who hadn't even reverted to their beast form, possibly replace them?
But Crystal City doesn't care about any of that. All they need to do is cultivate the Greystone people to maintain and preserve Silvermoon City's existing production order.
The parts involving high-tech iterations can be completely controlled by Jingyao City itself.
The clumsy gray stone people only need to follow the steps and do the simple operations they are best at.
Crystal City doesn't even need to give anything; all it takes is a simple verbal agreement to cede their Silvermoon City and gain a group of unsophisticated Graystone people who just want to live a better life.
"That was a brilliant move!" Apollo couldn't help but applaud Valerius. "It directly squeezed out the Silvermoon people's value. If the Graystone people move into Silvermoon City, the Anemocracy's original industrial level will drop considerably in a short period of time, right?"
Just as Adrian was about to offer his insightful opinion and impress the Emperor, Xingchen spoke up from beside him.
"Even if industrial output shrinks, it's better than Crystal City being defeated by the Silvermoon people and losing face. As long as Valerius learns from this lesson, the resources given to the Graystone people in the future, especially those related to technology and spiritual resources, will definitely be downgraded."
"To prevent a repeat of today's mistakes, right?" Apollo sighed, watching the Silvermoon people who were clearly agitated and arguing with Imperio. "What are they talking about with the Beast God? If Crystal City truly valued the Beast God, how could they so easily use its corpse as a battery? Don't you think so?"
Adrian was caught off guard and nearly knocked over by Apollo's elbow. He staggered hard, but his first thought was to put down the cushion in his hands. He couldn't help but bend his knees and kneel down.
"..."
Without turning around, he could imagine the gazes of the twelve mechs from the Finch family fixed on him.
He was seething with rage, but in this position, he simply couldn't get up with dignity.
Apollo laughed heartily, grabbed his shoulder and pulled him: "Sorry, I forgot you guys are all delicate and soft!"
What the hell is this delicate and soft body?!
Adrian refused to believe that anyone could withstand a mech with their bare flesh and blood.
Based on the strength these two have demonstrated, he even suspects that Imperio, the strongest beast soul mech warrior of Annemo, might not be a match for either of them.
Being cowardly is a strategy!
Adrian tried to ignore the burning pain in his knees, trying to comfort himself. Just as he was about to say something to ease the pain, he saw the Silvermoon people attack again.
A pointless debate could neither move Imperio and his beast-soul mechs who hated the Silvermoon people to the core, nor change the Graystone people who were busy making a living every day, had no real faith in the Beast God floating in the sky, and only wanted to live a good life.
The Graystone People, initially seen as low-level, easily repelled offenders, have become invaders supported by Crystal City, seeking to usurp their territory.
If they can't solve the Beast Soul Mech problem, they'll deal with the people who created it first!
Impelli had anticipated this move and immediately positioned his mech in front of the Gray Stone Man, his protective stance obvious.
The gray stone man roared and howled behind them.
Seeing this, the leader became even bolder and began to plan: to temporarily shut down the factory, gather more people to rush the repairs, seize credit, seize territory... anything is fine!
With Crystal City backing them up, what are the Silver Moon people?
"We also do pipe repair, can we join us?"
The thin yet loud voice instantly drew everyone's attention.
A group of filthy people stood at the back of the crowd, led by Adrian's servants, whom he had parted ways with not long ago in the Loess District.
Adrian narrowed his eyes, about to speak, when Xingchen slapped him on the shoulder, and he immediately shut his mouth.
The silent support gave the leader even more courage.
Ignoring his wildly beating heart, he shouted it out.
"We can also repair pipes and do a lot of other jobs. We're no worse than the Graystone people!"
"Can we, the people of the Loess Plateau, also stay and live in Silvermoon City based on our own abilities?"
