Chapter 933

Anyone with the potential to become a Royal-level Beast Tamer—even if corrupted—he would take them!

Meanwhile, at General Zao Tian's residence, Zao Tian also received news of mass uprisings by the island nation's civilians.

Some military Beast Tamers had begun networking, uniting with other soldiers to pressure the military high command!

Zao Tian exclaimed in surprise: "What? They're saying Jiazi is the mastermind behind the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians?"

"Yes! Some soldiers claim it was the Sovereign's own proposal to attack the Huaxia Federation's cities—that's what provoked Su Yang… the rumor has spread everywhere!"

Zao Tian narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "This must be the work of the Kanda and Kojima families!"

The High-ranking military officials all knew the plan to attack Huaxia Federation cities was jointly proposed by Kanda and Kojima.

After Kanda and Kojima died, their respective families suffered massive losses and were highly likely to be purged.

After all, because of Kanda and Kojima, the island nation suffered enormous losses; under public outrage, the two families might face attacks from other powerful factions!

"I think it's very likely!" said one of General Zao Tian's subordinates. "Only the Kanda and Kojima families have both the motive and the power to frame Sovereign Jiazi for this!"

Zao Tian nodded: "If they pin the blame on Jiazi, and Jiazi is handed over to the Huaxia Federation, the Kanda and Kojima families might be safe!"

"Should we clear Sovereign Jiazi's name then?"

"No!" Zao Tian waved his hand. "The Kanda and Kojima families are deliberately giving us an excuse. If we accept that Jiazi is the mastermind, then handing her over will eliminate our pressure—or rather, there won't be any pressure at all!"

Sovereign Jiazi's reputation within the island nation was excellent!

She had countless admirers and followers within the military!

If we hand Jiazi over, we generals will face immense pressure ourselves!

Don't think that Sovereign-level experts can act however they want—they still need the support of their subordinates!

If Jiazi's guilt is confirmed!

If it was Jiazi's faulty decisions that caused the island nation to lose hundreds of thousands of civilians, two-thirds of its Sovereign-level experts, and countless elite troops, then Jiazi must take responsibility!

Then she would be despised by countless civilians and reviled by countless military Beast Tamers!

At that point, when we generals hand Jiazi over to secure peace, we will gain the support of both civilians and the military, with no backlash!

And since the blame has been pinned on Jiazi, the true instigators of the attack on Huaxia Federation—Generals Kojima and Kanda—won't have to answer for the island nation's devastating losses.

The island nation's military will have no legitimate reason to move against these two families and purge them!

After realizing all this, General Zao Tian let out a deep breath: "Send people out to spread more rumors like this. Besides claiming Jiazi proposed the attack on Huaxia Federation, add other details to the message!"

"What details?"

Zao Tian rubbed his temples: "Say it was Sovereign Jiazi who proposed sending the Chongxuan Sea Giant Turtles into the deep sea to evade Su Yang's pursuit—and that we generals merely followed her orders!"

"This…"

One of General Zao Tian's subordinates froze in shock!

Wasn't it General Zao Tian who proposed sending them into the deep sea?

"Since Sovereign Jiazi is already doomed, before she leaves, let her shoulder some of my burden!" Zao Tian said helplessly. "I still need to stay here, protecting the island nation—for its stability!"

"Understood, sir!"

"Go!" Zao Tian waved his hand. "I'll meet the other three generals immediately. We need to align our stories. I think they won't refuse."

The four generals had already considered handing Jiazi over when they met yesterday.

Now, with a better, more "respectable" reason to hand Jiazi over, they couldn't possibly refuse!

For this, Zao Tian was willing to pay a certain price.

Not long after, Sovereign Jiazi, residing in the imperial palace, also received the news.

The island nation's cities were unlike those of the Huaxia Federation.

Cities in the Huaxia Federation were far apart, making message delivery extremely difficult.

But the Chongxuan Sea Giant Turtles of the island nation were almost all clustered together, spreading news at lightning speed!

The moment Jiazi heard the news, she leapt to her feet from her chair.

She stared with wide, beautiful eyes, hair disheveled, pointing at herself in a frenzy:

"What? I proposed attacking the Huaxia Federation? I'm the mastermind?"

"I proposed sending them into the deep sea? Putting the entire island nation in danger?"

"Am I supposed to take responsibility for the deaths of Sovereign-level experts, Beast Tamer units, and hundreds of thousands of civilians?"

At this moment, Jiazi had lost all her former dignity, authority, and composure—she was wild-eyed, mad as a demon!
