The following day, news spread throughout the streets and alleys of every planet in the Oron Empire.
"The ancestral land of alien beasts in the north of the Oron Empire, as well as five nearby star clusters, all belong to the Dylan Empire."
The news caused an uproar in the northern part of the Oron Empire, and indeed throughout the entire Oron Empire.
The news of civilization's defeat was like a bombshell, instantly impacting everyone's mind.
The entire planet was plunged into wailing and chaos.
The people on the street looked dazed, as if they had been struck hard by reality, while the city center square was crowded with disheveled civilians. They were destined to face an even crueler reality.
When one's own civilization is defeated, not only are five star clusters ceded, but a large amount of resources must also be paid in reparations. Whether it is the noble faction, the commoner faction, or the neutral faction, from the highest levels of the empire to ordinary nobles and commoners, no one can be happy, even if there is a joyous occasion.
The defeat of the entire civilization is the greatest misfortune of our time.
There could be no worse news than this: the life and death of an individual are insignificant in the face of the defeat of an entire civilization.
In the northern part of the empire, the five star clusters 51, 98, 99, 107, and 109 are the territories ceded by the Oron Empire to the Dylan Empire.
Now, the people of the immigrant planets in these five star clusters have turned pale, and their eyes are filled with fear and despair.
Some people wept bitterly, while others knelt down silently, clasping their hands together in prayer to the heavens.
Others appeared extremely angry, shouting angry slogans and venting their emotions.
Shops in the city closed their doors, hovercars sped wildly through the streets, and countless people scattered in all directions, desperately trying to escape the seemingly unavoidable catastrophe. Some families, however, kept their doors tightly shut, huddled in corners, and awaited the arrival of darkness.
A day later, the Oron Empire and the Dylan Empire conducted the territorial handover.
After the handover of five star clusters in the northern part of the empire—51, 98, 99, 107, and 109—was completed, the territory became part of the Dylan Empire.
The wealthy, the noble, the common nobles, and the great nobles all traveled to other parts of the empire in their own interstellar spaceships.
Those who remained were almost all ordinary people.
These remaining civilians are refugees abandoned by the Oron Empire, and their future lives will be entirely dominated by the people of the Dylan Empire.
It's easy to imagine how much harder life must be for these ordinary people!
At the same time, another message spread throughout the entire empire.
Moreover, it was a message issued by order of Emperor Auron.
The specific content of this message is:
"Mo Tianyun, the fourth Grand Elder of the Empire, has failed to fulfill his duty of guarding the northern part of the Empire. He has neglected his duties and has never shown his face during the war. He is still living a life of ignominy. Today, the Emperor has decreed that Mo Tianyun be removed from all his posts and stripped of all his power. He is now a sinner who has betrayed civilization. If anyone discovers Mo Tianyun's whereabouts, after reporting and confirming, he may make three reasonable requests to the Emperor!"
This news is equally shocking!
An elder who had only recently taken office failed to appear during the war, leading to the defeat of the entire civilization and its forced cession of five star clusters.
This is truly a sinner of the empire, a great sinner of civilization, deserving to be scorned by all of civilization and infamous for eternity!
For a time, the entire Oron Empire was filled with accusations and insults against Mo Tianyun. Many nobles hurled insults and curses at him, seemingly intending to denounce him behind his back.
Star Cluster 51, Star Sector 114, Uluru Star, Cold Mountain City.
Despite the shadow of defeat, life must go on for every ordinary citizen.
They persevered through each day, supporting and comforting one another.
However, after Emperor Aulong issued a notice that reached this place, the common people who had previously claimed to love and respect Elder Mo Tianyun began to hate him.
"Have you heard? Elder Mo Tianyun, who had just taken office three years ago, was dismissed from his post and stripped of his power by the King!"
"Of course I've heard about it. The reason for this defeat is that Mo Tianyun, that coward, has disappeared without a trace. He's truly hateful!"
"Exactly! When civilization is in dire straits, he actually deserts. I don't know how someone like that became the Grand Elder. I was really blind back then, and I even admired him so much!"
"That's right. If Mo Tianyun hadn't deserted, our Oron Empire might not have been defeated, and we wouldn't have become refugees and been ruled by others!"
...
"How could this happen? How is this possible? Brother Mo Tianyun is definitely not that kind of person. He would never abandon us!"
A strong-looking boy shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum.
17-year-old Bill looks very different from when Mo Tianyun left.
Bill, who was originally underdeveloped, malnourished, thin, and dark-skinned, has now grown into a tall and mighty man, exuding an aura of maturity and composure.
