The Last Sentinel

"Sentinel, please wait!"

"Goodbye, Sentinel!"

Ye Feng stood at the exit, watching each member of the alliance leave.

The elites of the Human Alliance, one by one, looked at this new archive clerk of the [Kunpeng] and seemed to see the former archive clerk of the [Qilin], Great Wall Watch.

Who would have thought that a former archivist would rise to the top and become the Speaker of the Supreme Council of the People's League?

Everyone was uneasy, wondering if this young-looking new file clerk would become the new seventh speaker.

Ye Feng's gaze swept over each person, a farewell gesture mixed with a warning: I can remember the face of every one of you. If you do anything to betray the Human Alliance, I will really come to your door for tea—tea that will cause you heavy metal poisoning.

When it was Ah San's turn, he shamelessly smirked and said, "Sir Sentinel, please don't be angry. The trouble we caused just now wasn't our intention. Someone ordered us to do it, and we had no choice. Please don't take it to heart."

"Lord Brahma has absolutely no intention of being an enemy of Lord Sentinel. On the contrary, Lord Brahma is very friendly towards you and hopes you will be interested in visiting India. Lord Brahma will certainly give you a warm welcome!"

"Sentinel, please wait! There's no need to see us off. We're all on the same side now, part of East Asia. We're absolutely on your side and the Great Xia's side!"

Ye Feng looked at the group of Indians, feeling no anger, only disgust.

This race is so inferior that it's impossible to be angry. Anything that happens to the Indians is perfectly normal and understandable. Their skills in eating excrement are unparalleled. If you argue with an Indian, you'll be eating excrement for the rest of your life.

As for his third brother inviting him to dinner in India, Ye Feng could only say that he was a coward and that he really didn't want to go to India, nor did he dare to visit their territory.

Everyone left, and the Supreme Council finally came to an end.

In the center of the meeting hall, only the five cabinet members, the speaker, and the sentry remained.

Kuafu waved enthusiastically and said, "Ye Feng, close the door, we're having a closed-door meeting!"

Ye Feng pressed the button, and the huge stone door slowly fell down, revealing seven people sitting on a table in the empty hall.

As Lu Xun once said, meetings with many people are not important; important meetings have few people.

Of these seven people, the Speaker and Chief of Staff are self-evident. Among the four cabinet members, Old Man Wu and Wolf King represent hard power, Haotian represents soft power technology, and as for Kuafu, he is purely a relative.

It's not that I look down on Kuafu, it's just that Kuafu really can't be compared to the others.

At Kuafu's age, he should have already retired to the second line. west Wangmu came to take over his position as the commander of the [Divine Capital Luoyang] base.

But who would have thought that the old man Kuafu would be so lucky, snatching a genius sentinel at the age when he was about to retire.

Based on his merits, Sentinel Ye Feng is qualified to enter the cabinet, but he lacks the seniority required for the position. So, there's nothing that can be done but let Kuafu take over the Sentinel position for two years until he has gained enough experience.

Kuafu understood how he got his seat and greeted him warmly, "Come on, Ye Feng, sit here with me, we can share a seat."

Ye Feng, setting up a miniature camera, waved his hand and said, "No, no need, I'll just stand and take notes. I'm just a clerk!"

Kuafu said, "We're one of us, you're too kind!"

Ye Feng chuckled. Even among our own people, we have to follow the rules!

A court clerk is just a court clerk, not a cabinet member. He should just focus on filming and taking notes with paper and pen.

A short while later, the Speaker [Great Wall Watcher] coughed, "Ahem! Everyone's pressed for time, so let's stop with the small talk, Xiao Zhao!"

Zhao Donglai took out a letter and read it aloud, "Sixth Council, there are several urgent matters. First, purge Hughes' supporters, confiscate their ill-gotten gains, and purge all problematic individuals. I will take charge of this matter. I will target all second-generation individuals behind the Moon and purge those whose memories should be erased and those who should be killed. It can be completed in about ten days."

"Second, we need to recalculate the quantity and quality of all weapons and equipment of the Human Alliance, especially the number and production capacity of the mech homeports of the three major organizations, Atlantis and the Heretic Containment Facility. This is a technical task, and we would appreciate Lord Haotian's assistance."

Haotian nodded, "Understood. Leave it to me, two weeks at most!"

Zhao Donglai continued, "The third matter is the changes in the Human Alliance. The Sabite Star People will definitely have inquiries. I would appreciate it if Senior Kuafu could delay them and clarify our position. At present, we have not unlocked the sunken spaceships at the bottom of the sea, nor have we exceeded the Human Alliance's limit of 100,000 members. I hope the Sabite Star People will not be nervous. The Human Alliance does not want to cause trouble, nor is it afraid of causing trouble."

Kuafu nodded and said, "Easy, diplomatic language! I'm very good at that!"

Zhao Dong looked at Wu Pofengjiang and said, "The fourth thing is that we hope Elder Wu can connect with the ordinary human society of Great Xia, especially the military. My master and I do not trust the current Human Alliance Armed Forces. We feel that the current Human Alliance warriors are unable to protect humanity, so we plan to select outstanding warriors directly from the Great Xia army to become Human Alliance elites in the future."

Wu Budu smiled and said, "No problem."

Seeing that everyone else had tasks assigned, the Wolf King anxiously wrung his hands and said, "Wait, isn't there anything for me?"

Great Wall Watcher laughed. "You're unhappy because you have no work? Why don't you go be the captain of the Kunpeng?"

The Wolf King exclaimed excitedly, "Old Zhao! You said it yourself, a promise is a promise! I'll become the captain right now!!"

For Wolf King, the job of captain of the Kunpeng was an incredibly desirable and enjoyable one.

If the Sentinel is working with me, then my mech [Fenglang Juxu] will be manufactured right under my nose.

That means I'm the Sentinel's boss, and I'm giving him the maximum research funding so he can squander it all!

[Great Wall Watch] tapped the table with his hand, "Now that everyone's work has been divided up, let's talk about our next plan."

"First, regarding work, as everyone knows, I am not good at managing the internal affairs of the Human Alliance, nor do I like power struggles, so please don't ask me for approval for routine work. Go to my apprentice Zhao Donglai! Little Zhao has worked in the Human Alliance for more than ten years and knows how to behave."

"Secondly, regarding this round of layoffs by the Human Alliance, whether it's erasing memories or physically eliminating them, at least 80,000 positions must be filled out for every 100,000 people. In particular, those spoiled and arrogant second-generation rich kids on the far side of the moon—every single one of them—must be thoroughly eliminated! Why should the Human Alliance warriors shed blood and sweat on the front lines while they enjoy a comfortable life on the far side of the moon?"

Zhao Donglai nodded and said, "Don't worry, teacher, I won't hold back."

[Great Wall Watch] nodded, then pointed at Ye Feng and said, "Little Ye, you've been fighting too frequently lately, which has caused your cultivation progress to lag behind and you've developed serious cultivation problems. I suggest you stop fighting with others for a while, focus on being a good scribe, spend more time in the archives and library, go into seclusion, and calm yourself down. Don't appear in front of everyone so often; every time you appear, it puts enormous psychological pressure on the other members of the Alliance!"

Ye Feng nodded. "Understood."

[Great Wall Watcher] seemed lost in thought, then muttered, "You're holding your notes upside down!"

Ye Feng put down his pen, turned the manuscript over, and laughed, "Yes, it's upside down. If you look at it from the other side, you can understand it."

These two sentences, when heard by the people around, were nothing special; it was just the concern of an elder for a younger person.

However, to Ye Feng, it was almost equivalent to [Great Wall Watch] telling him directly, "Don't interfere in any of the Human Alliance's affairs, and focus all your energy on taking over Hughes's legacy!"

Others may not know about Hughes' legacy, but as the designer of "The Great Wall Watch," he definitely studied Hughes thoroughly and was also aware of his legacy.

In fact, the last sentence, "The manuscript is upside down," is [Great Wall Watch] reminding Ye Feng that he needs to read Hughes's dark matter technology techniques backwards to practice them correctly; reading them forwards won't work!

This is exactly the same as what Hughes told Ye Feng across time and space.

[Great Wall Watch] continued the meeting, "After the Human Alliance completes this reshuffle, it will be renamed. I have a few names here for your reference: Beginning Xia, Fierce Shang, Propriety Zhou, Hegemon Qin, Strong Han, Scholar Jin, Heroic Sui, Prosperous Tang, Rich Song, Violent Yuan, and Resolute Ming. Which one do you think is better?"

Old Man Wu said, "The Beginning of Xia! Its original code name was Great Xia, so changing the Human Alliance to the Xia Alliance is perfect!"

The Wolf King shook his head and said, "No, the Xia Alliance is not suitable. The Xia Alliance refers only to the Great Xia Dynasty, but there are many other Homo sapiens groups in the Human Alliance. This is not appropriate."

Old Man Wu raised an eyebrow and said, "Then what name do you think would be suitable?"

The wolf king thought for a moment, then shook his head and began to recite a poem.

"Mount Everest's snow-capped peaks have stood for millennia, while clouds shroud the summit and waters flow on their own."

"A jade ribbon floats across ten thousand miles of Milky Way, a single gate shines brightly over the nine provinces of the South."

"The Northern Wolf hunts across three thousand realms, sweeping across millions of continents in the Milky Way."

"The beautiful scenery cannot be fully appreciated in one visit; may fate allow us to come back again."

"The Great Ming Dynasty!"

"Calling it 'Great Ming,' or 'Ming Alliance,' is the most suitable name!"

"Which civilization in the Human Alliance today, or rather, on Earth today, wasn't nurtured by the technology of the Ming Dynasty? The so-called Industrial Revolution, if traced back three hundred years, was nothing more than the Chinese-English translation of the Yongle Encyclopedia!"

"The world misses our Great Ming Dynasty. We have no objection to the new name Great Ming, nor will those who are not of our ethnicity."

Wu Budu looked at Zhao Donglai, "Speaker, say something!"

Zhao Donglai said, "Ah, Senior Wu, you're too kind. Just call me Xiao Zhao. I think Senior Wolf King's words make sense. As the saying goes, 'Everyone misses our Great Ming.' Looking at the history of the Great Ming, it had fierce interactions with various maritime powers in different periods, defeating them and forcing them to learn civilization and trade with silver. This history is written in their memories. In addition, the Yuan Dynasty's 'Scourge of God' against them, and the Great Ming overthrew the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, changing the name to Great Ming can effectively awaken the two layers of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) imprints deep in their hearts. I suggest using the new name Great Ming."

Wu Budu said, "Actually, the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty were also quite good."

The Wolf King said, "I see now, you old codger, you just want to go against me today, don't you!"

"No, I'm just stating the facts!"

"Bullshit! You're just nitpicking and trying to start a fight!"

"Even if that's true, what can you do about it if I curse you? I just don't like the look of you today!"

"You think I'm your father? Do you think I'd spoil you? Come on, let's go outside and fight!"

"Fuck you, I don't have the strength. I just want to yell at you today!"

"I've spoiled you rotten..."

As the two old men, whose combined age was three hundred, began to hurl insults at each other, the Speaker became drowsy, as if he had long been used to it.

Kuafu lowered his head to drink tea, Zhao Donglai looked around and talked about other things, while Ye Feng could only lower his head to draw and wait for the meeting to end.
