57: Full view! Technology more terrifying than aircraft carriers!

Beep, beep, beep.

Accompanied by the harsh signal tone, the call on the other end was directly hung up.

This time, the Emperor also received the same strange call as Ito Hidekazu had before.

The Emperor frowned, the veins on his neck bulging, and an unidentifiable rage burned in his chest.

"Ito-kun, what's going on?"

"Why does Eagle Country know our movements so clearly?"

"Didn't I ask you to arrange for people to eliminate Eagle Country's media eyes and ears on the Eastern Island before? Why did the information still leak out?"

Learning from Ito Hidekazu's previous failure, this time the Emperor paid extra attention to domestic media organizations and cut off public communication with the outside world.

Because the Emperor knew that Eagle Country's espionage capabilities were very strong, which was evident from how well Eagle Country understood the Eastern Island in the previous instance.

So, strict precautions were already in place.

Yet, such a situation still occurred, which was truly baffling!

Ito Hidekazu was also sweating profusely on his forehead, and he said somewhat aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, I did everything as you instructed..."

"It's incredible, how could Eagle Country have such abnormal espionage capabilities?!"

"Could this be Lin Ye deliberately setting it up this way in the instance? That scoundrel has always been very cunning."

At the same time, discussions began in the live stream's bullet comments, but this time, in addition to mocking the Great Harmony people, there were also some questions about the instance's settings.

"[Looking at it this way, it does seem a bit strange... In the last instance, because it was an economic war, and Ito Hidekazu had no defenses, the leak was understandable, but why this time?]"

"[If it's truly a setting of the instance itself, then it's a bit too disgusting! And it's not reasonable at all!]"

"[How can we fight like this? The enemy forces know your movements completely.]"

"[...]"

The Emperor really couldn't figure out the reason behind this, so he could only ask the Sky Curtain.

"Sky Curtain, why do the enemy forces know our Challenger's movements so clearly? Does this violate the fairness of the instance design?"

"[Sky Curtain notification: Eagle Country's ability to obtain information about the Eastern Island is not an instance setting, but rather the influence of technology. Eagle Country possesses reconnaissance technology: Keyhole Satellite 20!]"

"[According to the instance rules, the Sky Curtain should not give Challengers too many technical hints, but considering that the Challengers are questioning the rationality of the instance, the Sky Curtain can give you some additional information. Eagle Country has just set up a Keyhole Satellite exactly 250 kilometers above your head!]"

"[The Keyhole Satellite technology principle submitted by Designer Lin Ye fully complies with the Sky Curtain's review standards, therefore this instance completely complies with the fairness stipulated by the Sky Curtain.]"

"What?!"

"How is this possible?"

The Emperor's expression immediately turned grim.

Such a thing was accomplished using technology?!

If the Sky Curtain hadn't directly answered him, he would never have believed that such technology could exist.

In the Emperor's understanding, only the Sky Curtain could achieve such a thing!

But the Sky Curtain is a god, the supreme existence in this world, and therefore can always monitor them.

In the Raging Sea and Surging Waves instance, it was achieved through technology, reaching almost the same effect as the Sky Curtain.

At this moment, a clear sense of dread filled the Emperor's heart.

This terror was even greater than when he saw the Extinguish Country Fleet's Aircraft Carrier before.

Because the technology that the Sky Curtain just mentioned was a direction he had never even considered.

The Aircraft Carrier that appeared before, while powerful, was at least something he could understand. Now, this so-called "Keyhole 20" was completely baffling!

This was an incredibly huge threat, because he had no idea how many such satellites Eagle Country had set up above the Eastern Island!

This feeling of being completely exposed in front of the enemy was very uncomfortable.

"Ito-kun, have the nearby military base send mortars over! We must shoot down Eagle Country's satellite!" the Emperor roared.

Ito Hidekazu shook his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Your Majesty... The Sky Curtain just said that the thing called a satellite is at an altitude of 250 kilometers..."

"Our mortars can barely hit 5 kilometers, let alone 250 kilometers."

"Damn it!" The Emperor clenched his fists tightly, only then realizing how foolish his command had just been.

The sudden turn of events inevitably caused his brain to short-circuit a bit.

Then, he directly left the garden with Ito Hidekazu and quickly walked into the Songzhi Pavilion.

Since this problem couldn't be solved now, they could only hide. After this, the Emperor would not leave the room for half a step.

At the very least, hiding in the room, he didn't believe Eagle Country's satellite could still see him.

After a slight calming of his emotions, the Emperor looked at Ito Hidekazu.

"Ito-kun, Lin Ye's technology is actually even more terrifying than an Aircraft Carrier. Bringing this thing into any instance is equivalent to having full map vision!"

"We must get our hands on this technology!"

"If our Great Harmony Settlement can possess such technology, we will be invincible on Azure Star!"

The Emperor wanted to say more, but the phone rang again.

With a hint of apprehension, the Emperor still glanced at the screen, which displayed the name "Minamoto no Yorimitsu."

"It's the Shogunate General!"

Only then did the Emperor let out a long sigh of relief, his hanging heart settling considerably.

The first call just now had disgusted him to death.

Now that Shogunate General Minamoto Yorimitsu had called him, it meant that he had found a good invasion point or a place to develop a Bacterial Unit in another area.

The Emperor was very down now, so he needed a big piece of good news to cleanse his ears.

So the Emperor directly answered the call.

"Your Majesty!"

Minamoto Yorimitsu's extremely anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, mixed with very harsh sounds of gunfire.

"What's wrong, Shogunate General?" the Emperor asked eagerly, an ominous premonition once again rising in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Dr. Yasui and I landed in a place called Dragon Country, as per your request!"

"It turns out this Dragon Country seems even more terrifying than Eagle Country; it's densely packed with people here!"

"As soon as we landed, we were surrounded by the local army. They were shouting something like... 'Every inch of mountain and river, every inch of blood,' and then they started chasing us!"

"Dr. Yasui has already fallen in battle, and most of my subordinates are also dead..."

"And I've been shot in the knee! I probably won't make it."

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I... I've let you down."

...

"They're here! They're here!"

"Ah ah ah ah!"

Then there was a violent explosion, and Minamoto Yorimitsu's call was already disconnected.

Immediately after, the Emperor saw the number prompt in the background; the number of Challengers in the instance had directly decreased by tens of thousands.

...
