He's vision was completely blurred; he could only vaguely make out a glimmer of light in the hazy sky. "We'll have a new home from now on... Penny... the camp is yours now. Help me return the sword..."

His voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible.

"It's dawn,"

Penny looked up at the sky, and a brilliant ray of light pierced through the dark clouds, landing on the ground beneath their feet. "It's dawn, Chief."

This time, she received no response, and she turned her head away.

The brilliant sunlight shone on the man's broken body behind him.

He leaned against the broken stone pillar, his eyes slightly closed, a smile on his lips, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

"It's dawn, Chief."

Chapter 323 The Person Standing in the Light (Two Chapters Combined, Please Add to Favorites and Subscribe)

Under the relentless downpour, the blonde woman gripped the sharp blade that had cut her palm, stabbing repeatedly into the sturdy back armor.

"Oh~"

The painful screams trembled through the rain.

The enormous tortoise writhed and rolled, trying to shake off the 'insects' on its body.

But no matter how it rolled, the blonde woman clung tightly to its carapace, wielding her blade like a cold machine.

Finally, under the continuous pounding that seemed to match the frequency of a sudden downpour, a crack appeared in the giant tortoise's sturdy shell.

At this moment, its body was covered with dozens of cracks, and only a few of the sharp blades stuck in its back remained.

When the last crack spread, it became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

All the cracks were connected.

The blonde woman, who was lying on the back of the giant tortoise, suddenly raised her fist and slammed it into the very center of the crack.

Under this violent impact, the thick carapace shattered instantly like fragile glass, revealing the beating flesh and heart beneath.

The woman swung her blade, piercing the heart with a fierce thud. Blood, glowing orange, splattered out, covering her face and staining her hair.

She didn't stop, but continued her relentless attack until the enormous beast let out its final mournful cry and collapsed to the ground forever.

She supported herself against the massive corpse and staggered to her feet.

The torrential rain slid down her soft, fair skin, which was covered in wounds.

Finally...it's over...

She slowly raised her head.

Perhaps I should go and thank that 'leader'.

The moment she raised her head, a purple radiance carrying immense pressure streaked across the sky.

Upon seeing that radiant light, her heart suddenly tightened, and a powerful, suppressed sadness overwhelmed her entire chest.

She had seen a similar radiance before.

Both Ender and Roy vanished in that radiance.

-

The torrential rain continued to fall, and Christos gazed at the solemn and anxious figures below.

Ser was standing at the forefront, his hand pressing down on the oath of the Dawn City Constitution.

The deputy mayor is sworn in before the mayor.

A murmur of discussion drifted from the audience.

The internet in Dawn City was not cut off, so people naturally knew that the southern city had been breached by the alien beasts.

Information about the city council being attacked by rebels had not yet spread.

Most of the people standing here are ordinary workers, dressed in simple, unpretentious clothes, carrying umbrellas with advertisements printed on them, which were given away as freebies by convenience stores or department stores during promotional activities.

They looked up, gazing at the figures taking the oath on the platform.

There was some minor unrest and fear among them, but they did not leave.

Because Christos remained calmly seated on the platform.

The fact that the mayor did not flee gave them the courage not to flee.

The oath-taking process was quick, taking only a few minutes.

But for some reason, Christos felt a strong sense of unease.

Just then, a dazzling purple light, carrying a terrifying pressure, streaked across the sky, pierced through the dark clouds, and landed on the ground not far away.

The instant Chris saw that radiant light,

Tos stiffened.

"Now, Mayor Christos of Dawn City will take the oath."

As the clock struck twelve, Christos did not immediately make a move when the host announced the time.

The returning Serel gently nudged Christos.

Christos took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

He walked to the front of the platform and placed his hand on the Dawn City Constitution, which had been pressed by successive mayors of Dawn City.

The host, who was also the Chief Justice of Chenxi City, watched him intently.

“Christos, repeat after me: I solemnly swear…”

I solemnly swear...

"I will faithfully perform my duties as mayor of Chenxi City and do my utmost to uphold, safeguard and defend the Constitution of Chenxi City."

"I will faithfully perform my duties as mayor of Chenxi City and do my utmost to uphold, safeguard and defend the Constitution of Chenxi City."

"I will faithfully defend the order of the Federation and the civilization of mankind."

"I will faithfully defend the order of the Federation and the civilization of mankind."

"Until death do us part"

After the host finished speaking, Christos paused, looked up, and gazed at the spot where the purple light had fallen.

He spoke slowly, enunciating each word clearly.

"Until death do us part"

Golden sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, shining on the enormous statue of Ellenska, the first mayor of Dawn City, and on Christos, the current mayor of Dawn City, who was gazing at the sky alongside the statue.

The figures of the two people, spanning hundreds of years, overlapped.

-

Shortly after Christos took his oath, Penny contacted the Mayor's Guard, who, with Ayn's head, quelled the fighting between the City Council and the City Police Department.

At this moment, Victor returned with the legion commander, eliminated the three B-level alien beasts outside Dawn City, reorganized the Southern Army's command center, and cleared out all the alien beasts in the city.

Dawn City seems to have returned to its original state.

—Two weeks later—

At this moment, a discussion is underway in the Dawn City Council.

The original parliament hall was breached by artillery fire during the battle and is now under repair. All the members of parliament are currently crammed into the small spare chamber.

The council chamber consisted of only a dais and a makeshift, newly erected questioning platform.

"Now, we invite former council member and current mayor Christos to answer questions regarding the Wilderness Immigration Act."

The speaker, seated on the platform, spoke softly into the microphone.

Christos stood on the questioning platform, calmly observing the members of parliament seated there.

Just a few months ago, he was one of these people.

"Mr. Christos, I would like to ask you, how can you prove that introducing Wilderness Wanderers immigrants will not increase the crime rate in Dawn City?"

"A member of parliament sitting to Christos' right asked in a low voice."

“Protest,” a councilor to Christos’s left raised his hand. “I think this issue is meaningless. The number of new criminals in Dawn City each year is almost equal to the total number of vagrants in the city right now.”

"Please take turns speaking," the aged speaker said slowly into the microphone, tapping the table. "Please let Christos respond to the questions."

The congressman on the left isn't real either.

He said his protest was just a way to annoy the other side, so he withdrew his hand and looked at Christos.

“There are over 100,000 homeless people in the wilderness surrounding Dawn City, but we have only identified about 300 homeless people who have or may be involved in criminal activities. This rate is far below the federal average.”

Christos calmly looked at the questioning councilor and said softly, "In fact, we have all seen the role of the Wilderness Wanderers in the Ainoan incident. Thanks to their efforts, a large number of citizens were saved from the threat of death, and Ainoan's cruel and crazy conspiracy was finally thwarted. This is enough to prove that most of the Wilderness Wanderers are kind and brave."

Another member of Congress next to the questioning member then asked, "Mr. Christos, the Union has not formally begun accepting new immigrants for hundreds of years since its founding. Do you think it is reasonable to suddenly change this situation?"

"I believe the citizens elected me and all the other councilors in the hope of bringing change, and we have promised to deliver that change to the citizens,"

Christos laughed and said, "So I don't think it's reasonable to discuss whether to change this here. Just because something has always existed doesn't mean it's right. Maybe it's been wrong for many years and we just haven't had time to correct it."

"it is good!"

The congressman to Christos's left, who had just been protesting, immediately applauded, "Well said!"

Even the councilors around him smiled and applauded.

The congressman who asked the question turned pale and shut his mouth.
