Chapter 1176 602: Endless Suffering
The answer is, it's late!
Indeed, it's late!
At this moment, upon hearing this, everyone immediately burst into tears: The rice is cold for two hours, the children are all dead and now you know to see a doctor, you come now, it's all over!
What the hell were you doing earlier!
But Ellis has something to say too!
After receiving the news, he didn't delay a second, rushing as fast as he could to the Great City, ready to provide support.
Moreover, the Earth Veins transmission also needs to preheat! The Star Core Association can't possibly provide services for such war purposes, even if they did, it's useless, your Empire was the one who banned the transmission function in the Garrison Base!
This isn't the Sky Rail, as long as it's in the present world, you can get there in minutes, for a giant entity like Ellis that's closely connected to the whole Empire, it's already good that he managed to come over in a rush!
He didn't even have time to put on his shoes and braved the turbulence during transmission that could crush the Heavenly People, forcibly squeezing through the pipes, all to face the crisis head-on and win crucial time for the Empire. Who knew you guys would be so disappointing!
"Just Pang Pei, a mere old fool selling his head"
"The extermination of Heavenly Balance? Ha, just a convenient dish for the Federation!"
"Even bearing the Imperial Garrison Base, yet lifting the power of the Heavenly Governor with one hand, I, Ellis, am still invincible in the world!"
"What the hell, what do you mean the fusion bomb is lost?"
Within a few minutes, even Ellis himself was stunned, looked at everyone in disbelief, unable to comprehend.
"Fusion... bomb?"
He gestured a mushroom shape: "The one that's been sitting in the base for over eighty years, never used, that fusion bomb?"
Pasarella nodded with a look of resignation.
So, Ellis laughed.
He turned and left, as if he's made some kind of decision.
Without even taking a sip of water, he immediately carried off the Flying Airship without hesitation.
Stay away from this!
Your own mess, you fix it, I've risked my life for the Empire, but damn it, you can't treat me like a fool. I must leave, and the sooner the better.
This absurd situation is ridiculously bizarre, if there's a slip-up, Pasarella and those guys are doomed, let alone the fact that I'd end up covered in blood, what bad luck!
What the hell is going on here!
For over a century, spanning three emperors, defending three Emperors, the Earth Emperor Cliff, which has seen countless storms, has already smelt something brewing.
No, it should be said... the signs of an approaching mudslide.
At this critical juncture?
Such a deadly thing as the fusion bomb actually went missing?
How deep are the waters behind this, how bad the consequences could be, what kind of chain reaction it would trigger, he didn't dare to even think about it!
I'm out, pretending I was never here!
The person left ten minutes ago, the whole Great City went mad ten minutes later.
When the Elder Council received Pasarella's report half an hour later, the entire Empire went insane!
From the People's Guardian to the Judge, the High Priest, the Commander of the Seven Star Building to the Prime Minister, every Elder had a face full of questions, like a storm of phone calls came in, each one hysterically questioning at the beginning—Pasarella you old dog, what exactly are you trying to do?!
Wasn't it just that the previous Emperor didn't choose you, do you have to hold a grudge for so many years?
Speak! Are you trying to create a new Empire?!
"..."
Pasarella silently looked at the crooked old tree in front of him, wanting to speak but saying nothing.
What else could he say?
No matter how he argues, he can't escape the primary responsibility.
Whether the punishment is meaningful aside, if this missing fusion bomb truly causes some malicious incident, leading to some consequences, then even if he were killed, it couldn't be made up for.
In less than half an hour, the Elder Council unanimously passed the resolution — given the importance of Pasarella's position, punishment is temporarily suspended. After questioning confirmed he has no suspicion of the crime, he is ordered to continue his duties until the matter is resolved.
It seems ineffective, yet he's already not far from death.
The actual fief of the Border Duke has been reclaimed, leaving only a nominal position as a Courtier Consultant, meanwhile, he has been completely sidelined within the base.
As for the actual power, it has been taken over by Dorodongville, the head of the Imperial Secret Bureau in Central Earth.
Anyone with sharp eyes can see, this is preparing to use Pasarella as a scapegoat at any time in the future.
Meanwhile...
The Prime Minister of the Great City signed the permission, the Elder Council authorized USe of the Empire's resources and informed the Tower City Garrison Base and all related members.
Before the situation evolves to its worst state, sparing no cost or expense, bring back the missing fusion bomb!
"Investigate, investigate, start with the base."
That afternoon, 71 minutes after the base was attacked, Dorodongville, who had taken over all powers, sat in Pasarella's leather chair, glanced at the dazed Pasarella nearby, without anger or gloom, smiled warmly at everyone:
"Got to check it out, maybe we'll find something."
At the same time, the temporary special investigation team had long been dispatched.
More than eighty ethers, twenty Mirrors, sixteen Heart Cores, had already arrived at the base under urgent conscription, led by the Ethereal Celestial People of the Imperial Observatory.
