Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 324 Dilemma (Five in One)

The entrance to the Starlight Ball.

Su Ming hurried over, but when he reached the entrance, he was slightly surprised.

There were many students crowded at the entrance.

"Let me in, please make way!"

"Brother, don't push me!"

"so many people?"

Su Ming whispered with a headache, but he still gritted his teeth and squeezed in little by little.

Ten minutes later.

Su Ming still couldn't enter the Starlight Ball, but he barely squeezed to the edge of the venue entrance. He stood on tiptoe and looked inside through the passage. All the seats in the Starlight Ball were full.

The aisles were crowded with students.

Everyone watched the war images sent back excitedly and discussed them with great excitement.

"Good fight!"

"Haha, this is so exciting! The Imperial Army also has such a day!"

"Do you think the Sky City troops can completely defeat the Emperor's Blood Fang Legion?"

"In fact, I was a little worried at the beginning. After all, the troops participating in the battle here are actually a mixture of the Fifth Azure Legion and the Sixth Dawn Legion, as well as the private armies of major forces and nobles! But now there is no need to worry at all. Yesterday, when the forces of both sides were evenly matched, they achieved a great victory, not to mention now. You know, with the subsequent strong reinforcements, the number of our fleet has reached tens of thousands!"

"That's a very reasonable analysis. We should have given them a beating a long time ago."

"Yes, it's really great!"

Su Ming struggled to look through the passage and looked at the holographic projection presented by the Starlight Eye. In the end, he could only see a little bit, and it was very uncomfortable to see.

"Ugh!"

Su Ming sighed slightly, turned around and left helplessly.

Not long after, Su Ming returned to the dormitory.

The entire dormitory was empty, Rhine and others were not there.

Su Ming took off his shoes, lay on the bed and browsed the Qunxing Forum, which was also very lively.

Countless posts keep popping up like bamboo shoots after the rain.

Su Ming clicked on a popular discussion thread and saw that there were already millions of messages in it.

"After the great victory at Sky City, the situation has become very clear. The Imperial Army is actually a paper tiger. It can only bully neutral countries. It's not that powerful!"

"that is!"

"They've probably been beaten to the point of crying for their parents!"

"The Sky City is really powerful, much stronger than the Starlight City!"

"That's right! The Starlight City troops are hiding like turtles every day. I doubt if they can still fight. They are so cowardly!"

Su Ming glanced at the comments and his expression became more serious.

The trend of public opinion is a bit extreme, which is not a good thing.

Su Ming closed the post and browsed the latest intelligence posts.

Although the delay in the Star Forum is very long, students who are watching in the Starlight Ball will upload videos and photos from time to time.

At this moment, Celis poked her cute little head out from the edge of the phone screen and called out cutely.

"Su Ming!"

“Yes, Celis!”

"Did you miss me? We haven't seen each other for many days."

"good."

Su Ming replied while scrolling through the posts.

"Hey, can't you be more enthusiastic? It's rare for me to come and play with you."

Celis leaned over the phone screen and complained while resting her chin on her hands.

Su Ming said with a smile.

"I'm reading the war reports from neutral countries."

"What's so good about that?"

"It's not a question of whether it looks good or not, but the consequences will be serious if you lose."

"All right!"

Celis replied boredly.

“By the way, Celis! Can I ask you something?”

"Sure, just ask!"

"Do you know any formal channels to buy fourth-generation pure mechanical mechas?"

"Well, I'm afraid that's not possible."

"why?"

Su Ming looked at Celis with great curiosity.

"Purely mechanical fourth-generation mechas are specially controlled weapons. There are only a few companies that can produce them, and they are all strictly controlled by the federal government. Moreover, the requirements for purchasing them are very strict. There are so many people who want to buy them that they can almost line up from the door of your dormitory to the street outside!"

Celis explained to Su Ming with a smile.

"This is troublesome. Oh, right! Doesn't Xiguang Laboratory produce NOCY super neural devices? Can you find a way to help me get one from the laboratory? Then I can find a powerful master and spend a lot of money to upgrade and transform the Killer?"

Su Ming suddenly thought of a compromise.

"I think you have some misunderstanding about Xiguang Laboratory?"

Celis replied with a smile.

"How to say?"

"Actually, Xiguang Laboratory is just a general name. The one you went to before is a new department supported by the federal government. Its main research direction is biological. The pure mechanical aspects are actually handled by the old department of Xiguang Laboratory. They are the best in this area, so they can't get it."

Celis explained helplessly.

“That’s still a dead end.”

When Su Ming heard this, he also frowned.

"Oh, you can't buy it through regular channels, you can consider the black market!"

"Is it sold on the black market?"

"It's very rare, but you can get it with a chance, but the price is quite expensive."

“How expensive?”

"It's almost a device, with a brand new mecha on top."

Celis replied with a smile.

"PASS!"

Su Ming rejected Celis's proposal without any hesitation. The price was too outrageous.

At this moment, a text message suddenly popped up.

When Su Ming saw that it was from Lin Chuyu, he reached out and clicked on the message.

"Su Ming, are you free tonight? If you are free, I would like to invite you to the dormitory for dinner."

"Oh my, there's actually a girl asking you out."

Celis said with a smile.

"It's very rude to snoop into other people's privacy."

While Su Ming was replying to Celis, he edited the message and replied to Lin Chuyu, agreeing to her invitation.

"calm down!"

Celis replied with a smile.

at dusk.

Su Ming arrived at Lin Chuyu's dormitory as promised and knocked on the door.

dong dong!

"coming!"

A familiar voice was heard in the room.

Soon the door of the dormitory was opened, and Su Ming was slightly startled.

Lin Chuyu was seen wearing a light blue sweater, a floral apron around her waist, and her white hair was tied up.

"What are you doing?"

“I’m cooking!”

Lin Chuyu said happily when she saw Su Ming coming.

"Can you still cook?"

"No, you can learn. I've already done it. Come in!"

"it is good!"

Su Ming walked into the house and changed into a pair of slippers.

At this time, he saw several plates of hot dishes on the coffee table in the living room.

There are sweet and sour pork tenderloin, braised pork, and small green vegetables.
"Such a sumptuous feast, isn't An Ruoxue here?"

"No, Ruoxue went to training."

Lin Chuyu untied her apron and walked over with two bottles of red wine from the cabinet.

"Oh, why did you suddenly think of treating me to a meal today?"

Su Ming asked while sitting on the sofa.

"Don't I owe you a meal? I thought I'd treat you now that I have the chance."

"Where are you going?"

Su Ming asked with a little surprise when he heard this.

Lin Chuyu opened the red wine and poured two glasses, handed a glass of red wine to Su Ming, and explained with a smile.

"It's like this. I've decided to join the Seventh Twilight Legion and go to the Neutral Zone of the Glowing Star Sea to serve under General Arms."

After hearing this, Su Ming was silent for a few seconds and then spoke.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Ok!"

Lin Chuyu nodded gently.

"Well, I wish you a safe journey and a bright future!"

Su Ming raised the wine in his hand.

"You too."

Lin Chuyu replied with a smile.

The two clinked their glasses and took a sip of red wine.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the door of the house, and then the door was opened.

Su Ming and Lin Chuyu turned their heads and saw An Ruoxue walking in.

"Ruoxue, why are you back? Weren't you training?"

"I changed my mind at the last minute and decided not to practice. You two are really going too far. You actually secretly practiced here and even drank!"

An Ruoxue looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes and the two bottles of red wine and couldn't help but tease.

"No way, I'll get you a bowl and chopsticks, let's eat together."

Lin Chuyu stood up and walked to the kitchen, getting a set of bowls and chopsticks for An Ruoxue.

"Then you're welcome. This dish looks delicious. Did you make it, Su Ming?"

An Ruoxue held the chopsticks and asked Su Ming.

"No, Chu Yu did it."

Su Ming picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and started chewing hard.

"Chu Yu made it? How does it taste?"

An Ruoxue looked at Su Ming with some doubts and asked.

"Fortunately."

Su Ming added another piece of meat to his mouth.

Seeing that Su Ming was eating so happily and the dishes looked pretty good, An Ruoxue picked up a piece of meat and ate it.

As a result, she just chewed a few bites, immediately pulled out a few pieces of paper and spit on them, complaining with a gloomy face.

"It's so hard and salty. How can you eat it? Are you trying to trick me on purpose?"

"I think it's OK. At least it's edible. As for the saltiness, isn't it a normal problem for a novice?"

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Sorry, my craftsmanship is still a little lacking."

Lin Chuyu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's okay, just eat it!"

An Ruoxue quickly waved her hand in reply.

More than an hour later.

Su Ming and the other two drank, watched the projection TV, and chatted about the future.

"It feels like time has passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, we are all sophomores now, and we will soon go our separate ways."

An Ruoxue said somewhat sadly.

"It's still a long way to go before graduation. We will see each other again sooner or later."

Su Ming was quite open-minded.

"Well, I think Su Ming is right. If we are destined to meet again, we will definitely meet again. I look forward to that day."

Lin Chuyu responded with a smile.

"Well said, let's have a drink together!"

An Ruoxue raised her glass and suggested.

"it is good!"

The three of them clinked their glasses and drank the red wine in them.

At this time, a news flash interrupted.

"The latest news: In the Danube Star Sea and Crimson Country star region, the conflict between the Imperial Army and the neutral country joint forces has intensified, and the war situation has further escalated."

Su Ming frowned when he saw this news.

"It seems like the situation has escalated."

"I'll go to the Qunxing forum to have a look."

An Ruoxue said solemnly.

"Ok!"

Su Ming also took out his mobile phone and logged into the Qunxing Forum.

As soon as I logged in, I saw a lot of extremely popular posts.

"Shocking news! The Red Fang Legion's vanguard general, Greylang, has been killed!"

"Extra! Extra! The Bloody Fang Legion, the Level 5 battleship Blood Shadow has fallen!"

"The troops of Sky City are continuing to advance, and the Imperial Army has suffered heavy casualties!"

"The latest news is that the capital giants, nobles and other forces entrenched in the major neutral countries of the Federation in the Danube Star Sea have all moved. The joint army has received strong reinforcements, and the number of ships has reached more than 15000!"

Su Ming's eyelids twitched wildly as he looked at the exploding posts.

He clicked on these posts and found that each post had tens of millions of comments.

"Beautiful! Try harder and defeat them!"

"Haha, Lord Faroun is so mighty. We should be led by such a great man!"

"I've been frustrated for so long, and finally I can get my money back with interest!"

"The Imperial Army is so arrogant, show us how arrogant you are!"

Su Ming looked at these messages, his eyes flickering continuously.

At this time, Lin Chuyu looked at those posts and said in surprise.

"It's incredible. The Imperial Army is actually being defeated."

"It's really too powerful. If the trend continues, the Imperial Army will soon be unable to hold on."

An Ruoxue said with deep emotion.

Su Ming listened to what the two said without saying a word. He silently picked up the wine glass and drank.

"Su Ming, why don't you say anything? This is great news!"

Seeing that Su Ming didn't say anything, An Ruoxue asked in confusion.

"I don't think this is good news. It's too radical."

Su Ming said coldly.

An Ruoxue and Lin Chuyu looked at each other and then spoke.

"Su Ming, are you worrying too much?"

"I hope so."

Su Ming also said something.

The outer starry sky of the Danube Star Sea and the Crimson Country.

The main gun of the level 5 battleship Storm has been fully charged and fired a bright blue beam, attacking the level 5 mothership Blood Mist directly!

boom!
The level 5 mothership Blood Mist was hit directly, and the energy barrier shattered instantly.

At this moment, the Level 5 battleship Swift Wind suddenly removed its camouflage and appeared without warning in the starry sky to the lower right of the Level 5 mothership Blood Mist, shooting out a dazzling red beam of light!
boom!
The hull of the Level 5 mothership Blood Mist was hit instantly!
A huge explosion swept across, and a hole was suddenly created in the hull of the ship.

At this time, the rows of launch ports on the hull of the Gale opened, and whistling missiles poured out.

Swish!
Missiles hit the Blood Mist one after another, and brilliant fireworks exploded continuously.

On the other side, the Tier 5 battleship Hurricane opened countless launch ports and ejected densely packed suicide XY-01 defense aircraft.

These defense aircraft spread out like a swarm of bees, breaking through one Imperial Army mecha after another, and launching a suicide attack on the Skeleton Legion's level 5 battleship, the Akank!
Boom!

The hull of the Akank suddenly burst into flames, and then it urgently mobilized intercepting artillery fire, continuously firing fiercely at the attacking defense aircraft.

One defense aircraft after another was blown up!

However, countless fish were still caught in the net and crashed into the Akank and exploded.

In the center of the battlefield, the three motherships, Hummingbird, Red Glory, and Thunder Whale, led many ships and launched a frantic attack on the Blood Edge Fortress.

A barrage of beam missiles rained down on the Blood Edge Fortress.

Rumble!
The Blood Ridge Fortress was completely suppressed. The huge fortress was riddled with broken holes and some surface areas were burning with raging flames.

Inside the command room of the Blood Edge Fortress.

Oss sat in the command chair as steady as a rock, looking at the virtual screen indifferently.

The virtual screen displayed the communication image of the Skeleton Legion Commander Artude.

He was seen yelling at Os in a rage.

"Os! I can't hold on any longer. The Hurricane keeps chasing me and I'm about to be sunk."

At this moment, you can see that Atud's image is constantly shaking, the lights above his head are flickering, and the red alarm is flashing wildly.

But unfortunately, Os completely ignored Atud's request and just looked at him coldly.

At this time, the communication from the Level 5 mothership Blood Mist came in, and a big man with scars all over his face and three diamond teeth reported to Oss anxiously.

"Commander, the Blood Mist has been damaged by more than 40%! It can't hold on any longer!"

"Fight and retreat at the same time, hold on."

Oss gave the order in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

The commander of the Blood Mist responded through gritted teeth.

"You're crazy! The Blood Mist will sink!"

Commander Artud cursed at Os.

"Shut up!"

Oss stared at Legion Commander Atud with a ferocious gaze.

Artud shuddered suddenly.

At this moment, the Storm led a large fleet and launched another round of fierce attacks on the level 5 mothership Blood Mist.

Countless missiles and light beams attacked the Blood Mist.

The Imperial Army's level 4 battleships rushed forward to block the Blood Mist and use their hulls to resist the attack!

However, a black missile passed through the blocking ship at an extremely fast speed and hit the Blood Mist instantly!

boom!
A dazzling sun rises.

呲~
The Blood Mist's communications were suddenly interrupted.

The operator of the Blood Edge Fortress reported in horror.

"Lord Os! The Blood Mist has been sunk!"

When Oss heard the report from his subordinates, his expression did not change at all, as if it was not his ship that sank, and it was not his people who died, but a pile of insignificant scum.

At this time, the Royal Knight Dixis showed an angry expression on his face and threw the wine glass in his hand heavily to the ground. Bang!
The exquisite crystal glass suddenly shattered into pieces, and the bright red wine splashed all over the floor.

Desis stood up and said angrily.

"Aus, what do you mean? You haven't let us take action yet, and you've been sending our troops to their deaths. What exactly are you thinking?"

Maul, Kafulolin, and Laurina also looked at Os with unfriendly eyes.

"I'm doing this for the Emperor!"

Os replied coldly.

At this time, a prompt popped up on the Blood Fortress operation screen.

"Warning: The Blood Edge Fortress has been locked onto by the Red Glory's main gun!"

"Warning: Target is attacking!"

In an instant, a red beam of light streaked across the starry sky and hit the fortress.

A huge explosion swept across, and the entire command room shook violently.

Desis said even more angrily.

"For the Emperor? I think you have ulterior motives! If you like being beaten, go ahead and get beaten. I'm not interested in wasting time with you. I'm going to kill these ants!"

"No one is allowed to take action without my order, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Oss saw that Desis was about to be killed and warned him fiercely.

"You think we're afraid of you?"

The four men of Desis were not afraid of Oss at all.

But at this time, Deputy Legion Commander Kaisas and Deputy Legion Commander Avabido drew their swords from their waists and looked coldly at Dixis and the other four.

The soldiers around took out their beam guns one by one.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and the conflict would be completely detonated with just a spark.

Fortunately, at this time, Laulina, who was wearing a black robe and had festering skin, spoke hoarsely.

"Desis, sit down. Let Captain Os fight however he wants! If he messes up, we'll kill him afterwards."

"Humph!"

After hearing what Laulina said, Desis snorted coldly and sat down.

When Deputy Legion Commander Caesars and Deputy Legion Commander Avabido saw Dixis sit down, they put their swords back into the scabbards.

The soldiers around also put away their weapons.

Oss sat indifferently in the command chair, looking at the battlefields displayed on the screen.

Time passes by second by second.

The Imperial Army's fleet was defeated and casualties continued to soar. On the other hand, the Federation's legion received more and more reinforcements and their morale was rising.

Just when the morale of the Federal Legion reached its peak, large-scale space fluctuations suddenly appeared in the starry sky above, below, and to the left and right of it.

Ten 100-kilometer-long ships, with a stone statue of an emperor holding a sword in both hands on the bow, a huge macro-cannon extending from the bottom of the sword, a thick hull covered with layers of heavy gray armor, and a surface dotted with numerous firing ports, emerged as level 5 battleships, the Colossus.

Behind these ten Colossi were a number of different types of level 4 battleships and a large number of ships.

Oss looked at the ships appearing and spoke grimly.

"Notify all troops, tell them reinforcements have arrived, launch a full-scale counterattack, and defeat the federal forces!"

"Yes!"

The subordinates present shouted excitedly.

As the notice was issued, countless fanatical voices were heard in the Imperial Army's communication channels.

"Brothers! Reinforcements have arrived, it's time to counterattack!"

"Come on!"

"Kill all these federal dogs, for the Emperor!"

In an instant, the retreating Imperial Army began a frantic counterattack, and the Colossus, which had received reinforcements, launched a fierce attack on the federal forces brutally.

The federation was also shocked and immediately sent troops to intercept them!
At this time, the starry sea between the Fretta Kingdom, the Woguo Kingdom, the Tasji Kingdom and the Black Flame Star.

Suddenly, there were large-scale fluctuations in space.

Ships flying the flags of the Bloody Fang Legion appeared out of thin air.

These ships quickly dispersed and began to release various types of star mines, as well as curvature interference devices and detection devices to block the entire starry sky.

Of course, this scene is also happening on various waterways outside the three major neutral countries.

The next morning.

Su Ming was lying on the bed, fast asleep.

Last night, he and Lin Chuyu drank until about two in the morning before returning to the dormitory to rest.

Suddenly the door was pushed open and Rhine walked in and shouted anxiously.

"Squad leader, don't sleep anymore. Something big has happened!"

Su Ming immediately opened his eyes, sat up and asked.

"What happened?"

"The Federation has been defeated!"

"What did you say? The Federation was defeated? Wasn't everything fine last night? How did it suddenly suffer a major defeat?"

"Oh, everything was fine last night, and we were about to win. Who knew that at the critical moment, the support of the Imperial Army arrived, and ten level 5 battleships joined the battlefield, instantly severely damaging the Federation's troops!"

Rhine said with great regret.

"What's the current situation of the federal forces?"

"Two level 5 battleships, the Hurricane and the Storm, were destroyed, the level 5 mothership, the Red Glory, sank, and thousands of other ships were damaged. The death toll exceeded three million! Now the troops are withdrawing to the three countries of Tusji for rest and rescue. The rescue scene reported back is simply horrible! The medical system of the three countries of Tusji is about to collapse."

"So bad?"

“This isn’t even the worst of it.”

"What's the worst part?"

"The worst thing is that the Dark Star Empire has blocked the shipping route between the three countries of Tashiji and the Black Flame Star."

"The shipping route is blocked, so won't the Federation's army be trapped?"

When Su Ming heard this, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Yes, but fortunately the Imperial Army also suffered heavy losses and did not forcefully attack the Three Kingdoms, so the Federation's troops are still safe for the time being."

Rhine explained to Su Ming.

"not that simple."

Su Ming replied with a frown on his face. Sure enough, the worst result happened.

"Captain, are you saying that the enemy is deliberately not attacking the Three Kingdoms and destroying the defeated federal forces?"

Rhine asked after a slight pause.

"It took a lot of effort to catch it, would you be willing to eat it?"

"No? What should we do?"

"I'm not sure. We can't influence this market. Let's go to the Qunxing Forum to see how things develop."

Su Ming said with a serious expression.

"it is good!"

Rhine replied worriedly.

Su Ming picked up his phone and logged into the Qunxing Forum.

The entire Qunxing forum was about to explode, with countless posts popping up.

Su Ming clicked on a popular post titled Hell on Earth.

A video was uploaded to this post.

Su Ming clicked on the video, and the interstellar airport of the Tashiji Kingdom came into view.

All I saw were damaged ships docked at the huge interstellar airport.

Many of these ships were still burning with black smoke billowing up.

Medical vehicles were speeding through the interstellar airport, and countless wounded soldiers were carried out.

Everywhere there were the desperate cries of soldiers.

"doctor!"

"Please, please send a doctor, my brother can't hold on any longer!"

The whole scene was in chaos, filled with despair and death.

Su Ming took a look at the comments under the post, and the number had reached tens of millions.

"Ouch, that's miserable!"

"Who can save them?"

"I feel like I'm suffocating behind the screen."

"Damn the Imperial Army!"

Su Ming clicked on the post and continued browsing other posts.

Soon Su Ming found a post about the waterway blockade and clicked on it.

"According to reliable information, the waterway leading to the neutral country has been blocked by the Imperial Army. The situation is extremely critical. Black Flame Star has already sounded a Level 1 alert. The 10th, 11th, and 12th Legions stationed on Black Flame Star have also entered a state of readiness for battle."

"Damn it! I just don't understand why the waterway was blocked by the Imperial Army. What are those idiots doing up there?"

"I'm really impressed. Why don't you quickly find a way to send troops to break through the waterway? If it's too late, the Sky City troops will be in danger."

Su Ming looked at the comments on the post, his expression becoming more serious.

At this moment, a new message was suddenly pushed to the top.

"I'm really impressed. Sky City was about to win the battle, but then reinforcements arrived. Starlight City and Rain City just stood there and watched, not helping! If you ask me, they are the biggest reason for our defeat. It's because they didn't care about anything that Sky City lost the battle, with so many casualties!"

"Makes sense!"

This comment was instantly pushed to the top and received support from a lot of people.

Su Ming frowned, clicked on this post and went to check other posts.

As he was scrolling, he saw the same messages pop up on other posts.

When Su Ming saw this, he immediately felt something was wrong. He closed the post he was browsing and opened another one.

As he expected, the same message popped up.

These messages instantly ignited the people in Sky City, and they posted online to criticize Starlight City and Rain City.

"Starlight City and Rain City are cowards!"

"Others were fighting at their doorstep, but they didn't dare to send troops. Sky City had already sent troops, but they just stood there watching the show and didn't send any troops to support them."

"It's such an unfair loss!"

"I could have won, but I lost!"

“It’s really frustrating.”

"Forget it, it's useless! They don't even dare to go out to rescue people now, and you still expect those two cities to join the war."

As Su Ming watched the public opinion gradually getting out of control, his eyes grew colder.

The situation is not good. Someone is deliberately shifting the blame for the defeat to Starlight City and Rain City.

Although the people who stood up to accuse now were all from Sky City, Su Ming felt that the person who led this matter was not necessarily from Sky City.

This is very likely done by spies of the Imperial Army, who are fanning the flames and trying to make the situation explode.

At this moment, Su Ming's phone suddenly vibrated and a message popped up.

"Dear Mr. Su Ming, the Federal Military Department officially informs you that your review has been passed and your rank of major has officially taken effect. Welcome to join the Federal Military Department."

Su Ming looked at the message and sighed slightly.

"Ugh!"
-
City of Stars, Federal Government Administration Building, Dawn Hall 1.

The entire hall was laid out in a T shape, with the main parliamentary podium at the front, where Jakkers stood solemnly.

Below the main podium, there are rows of seats.

With a grim face, Farron sat in the first row with Alicia and others. The other members of parliament, wearing light blue striped robes, sat in the seats at the back.

At this moment, the Dawn Hall was very noisy, and everyone kept talking about the defeat.

"Oh, what do I do now?"

"How would I know? I'm so worried. My troops have suffered heavy losses. The remaining troops have retreated to Tasji Country and can't come back!"

"The damned Imperial Army actually cut off the source of the trouble and blocked the waterway!"

"quiet!"

Jakkers shouted in a deep voice.

Many congressmen shut their mouths, and the noisy Dawn Hall suddenly became quiet.

Jakkers glanced at all the councillors in the room with his cloudy eyes and said in a serious tone.

"I believe you all know why I called you all here today to hold this general meeting!"

When the many congressmen present heard what Jakkers said, their expressions became tense.

"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. The mixed forces have now retreated to the three countries of Tasji. However, the route to the neutral country has been cut off by the Imperial Army. That force is now trapped. Who of you can tell me what the Federation should do?"

Jakkers asked sullenly.

The huge council hall was silent, and no one answered.

"What? No one said anything? I told you not to confront the Imperial Army head-on, but you didn't listen. Is that okay now?"

Jakkers said with a hint of anger in his words.

If Faloen and others had listened to me at that time, they would have listened to me.

If they had not sent troops out without authorization, or had not been so aggressive in engaging in direct combat, the situation would not have been so bad.

Faroun slammed the armrest and stood up. He was already furious after the defeat, so how could he tolerate being scolded?

"Okay, stop talking about it after the fact! I did lose this war, but the Imperial Army wasn't that strong either. They just relied on the reinforcements. I will now apply to the parliament to recall the Immortal Legion. I want to annihilate them once and for all!"

Farron said angrily.

When Jakkers heard what Faron said, he became furious and started to curse.

"You're crazy! You want to be transferred back to the Immortal Legion? You don't want the Misty Sea anymore?"

"Didn't Mia lead a troop out?"

"That's going to the Abyss of Perdition!"

"Tell her to change her route and go to Misty Star Sea to take over the garrison! It won't be long. Give me three months and I can wipe them out completely!"

Farron said fiercely.

"No, absolutely not! No one is allowed to move the troops in the three restricted areas. Our geographical location is awkward. The bases of the three restricted areas are all in the central area. We need to stockpile more than twice the troops to face the Imperial Army and the Kingdom of Apocalypse at the same time. If you transfer a troop back, they will dare to raid our base. By then, a thousand years of hard work will be destroyed. You are not so stupid that you don't even know this, right?"

Jakkers shouted angrily.

"Okay, if you won't let me call back the Immortal Legion, then you can call in the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Legions stationed at the Black Flame Star to provide support!"

"Have you been blinded by hatred? Those three legions are good at defensive battles. They need to rely on the Black Flame Star's defense line to exert their strongest combat capabilities. They are not good at attacking at all. You asked them to go for support. Are you planning to let them die? And if these three legions have problems, who will defend Black Flame Star? At that time, the imperial army can directly charge in!"

"Then mobilize the Eighth and Ninth Legions stationed on Pluto Moon Star!"

Faron still said without giving up.

"No! If you transfer them away, what will happen to the neutral zone of the Tidal Star Sea?"

Alicia was very strongly opposed to it. If she was transferred, her side would be doomed.

"Isn't everything fine over there? The Kingdom of Apocalypse didn't attack us."

"He's not fighting now. Do you think he'll fight after you're transferred?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Farron retorted angrily.

"That's enough, stop arguing!"

Jakkers shouted angrily.

"You think I like to argue? This is not allowed, that is not allowed. Why don't you give me a feasible idea? Now our troops are trapped in a neutral country by the enemy. Are we just going to watch?"

Farron replied without any fear.

"Aren't you discussing a solution?"

"Discuss a solution? The current solution requires military support. Just tell me where the troops are!"

"you"

Jakkers was speechless for a moment. The Federation had many troops, but each troop had its own mission and responsibilities and could not be mobilized at all.

"Jackers, I've had enough of this kind of cowardly life. Since you can't solve the problem, please ask the President of the Parliament to come out and solve it!"

Farron confronted Jakkers directly.

"That's right, please ask the Speaker of the Parliament to come out and preside over the meeting!"

Many members of parliament at the scene echoed this.

Jakkers's expression suddenly changed. He didn't expect that the matter would involve the Speaker of the Parliament. This time he was in big trouble!
The Lord President of the Parliament was still in hibernation, and there was no way he could wake him up. If anything went wrong, it would be the end.

Thinking of this, Jakkers refused directly.

"no!"

"You say no, so what? We must meet the Speaker of the Council today. It's been so many years, it's time for him to come out!"

Farron retorted angrily.

"Yes, Lord Jakkers!"

"Let the Speaker of the Parliament come out and take charge of the situation."

Many members of parliament shouted.

Jakkels' heart suddenly sank to the bottom, his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it, it was obvious that the situation was somewhat out of control.

He took a deep breath and shouted to everyone.

"Quiet!"

The noisy parliament hall gradually quieted down.

However, everyone at the scene showed extremely dissatisfied expressions on their faces, and looked coldly at Vice Speaker Jakkers.

Looking at the expressions of the people, Jakkers knew that he couldn't get away with it today. If he couldn't give everyone a satisfactory explanation, there might be chaos.

Thinking of this, Jakkers gritted his teeth and spoke.

"I will adjourn the meeting for now. I will go and consult the president of the parliament. We will resume the meeting when there is a result!"

"Okay! We'll wait for you!"

Seeing that Jakkers finally gave in and was willing to consult the Speaker of the Parliament, Farron and others did not push him too hard.

Their main purpose is not to cause trouble for Jakkers, but to get the Speaker of the Parliament to come out and take charge of the situation.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

Jakkers waved his hand and ended the meeting.

Federal Government Administration Building, 108th underground floor

A special elevator, descending quickly.

bang~
With a slight vibration, the elevator descended to the bottom and the tightly closed door opened.

A cold, slender metal passage came into view.

There is a silver metal gate every fifty meters along the entire passage.

In front of each gate stood two soldiers wearing black third-generation exoskeleton armor.

Jakkers walked out of the elevator with his hands behind his back.

The guards bowed to Jakkers, and the gates slowly rose.

Jakkers walked in unhindered.

Finally, Jakkers passed through the passage and came to a closed black metal door.

Just as he was about to touch the door, the ground next to it suddenly cracked and a platform slowly rose up.

I saw the purple-haired girl wearing a silver metal mask standing on the platform.

Gakel was startled and quickly stepped forward to ask.

"Mr. Council President, are you awake?"

"No."

The girl sighed and shook her head.

"How could this happen? The day for waking up has clearly passed, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"I don't know!"

"This is really troublesome."

"what happened?"

"Alas! The situation is out of control. That reckless man, Faroun, was defeated, and his troops were surrounded by the Imperial Army. Now everyone wants to see the Speaker of the Parliament and ask him to take charge of the situation. It's impossible to suppress them!"

Jakkers said anxiously.

When the girl heard this, she was silent for a few seconds, then spoke to Jakkers.

"You go back first. I will give you an explanation in three days."

Jakkers heard the girl's words and wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back and finally said:

"Okay, I'll leave everything to you. I'm leaving now!"

"Walk slowly!"

The girl replied softly.
