Chapter Index

    A formidable invasion instantly turned into a fierce great escape.

    At this moment, the Type VI Lord, Kemo Vanu, turned his head to look back at the pursuing Federal forces and his subordinates who were being wiped out in large numbers, anxiously saying to Kemo Vanu!

    “Lord Kemo Vanu! Those Federal guys are relentlessly pursuing us, this can’t go on.”

    “I know, keep running!”

    Kemo Vanu was not surprised by this outcome; in fact, he had already evacuated early. If he had hesitated even a little longer, he might have been wiped out here.

    At this moment, the dense Federal fleet and troops, in hot pursuit, furiously unleashed attacks.

    One must know that this was space, not Starlight City, so anything powerful could be deployed.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Nuclear missiles and beams, like a storm, covered the sky.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Blinding suns and fireworks exploded across the sky.

    Every second, countless Mechanical Clan units were turned into scrap.

    Su Ming watched this scene, feeling deeply shocked. Everyone said that the Federation’s military strength was depleted and there were no troops to send to the front lines. However, just a few hours after the main planet was breached, the number of support troops that arrived was staggering. And looking at this momentum, it was estimated that many more troops were still on their way.

    At this moment, Su Ming suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and immediately controlled Ilyinas to stop.

    “Su Ming, why did you stop? Hurry up and go beat them up! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for revenge.”

    Celes shouted anxiously.

    “I’m feeling a little uncomfortable. Let them handle the rest of the pursuit; let’s go back.”

    Su Ming said to Celes.

    Although he was currently in a state where he could continue fighting, there was no need to harm his body.

    “Ah, then forget it!”

    Celes replied quickly.

    “Mm!”

    Su Ming then controlled Ilyinas, turned around, and returned to the Third Planet.

    Cabuno Fa saw Su Ming stop his pursuit, his cloudy eyes moved slightly, and then he controlled the Dark Extinguisher Apostle to stop pursuing and turn back.

    At this time, war reporters, driving their mechs, excitedly filmed the latest battle footage and shared it on the Star Cluster Forum.

    The entire Star Cluster Forum erupted, with countless posts appearing.

    “Go! Catch up and destroy them!”

    “Don’t let these bastards get away.”

    “Aren’t they very arrogant?”

    “Kill them!”

    Countless citizens shouted, extremely excited.

    At this moment, Kemo Vanu and his group ran for their lives like drowning dogs. Soon, they rushed to the back of the sun, which was the shipbuilding area.

    The defense team in the shipbuilding area, seeing the overwhelming Mechanical Clan army rushing towards them, were all scared stiff. The captain in charge roared,

    “Quick, protect the docks!”

    “Yes!”

    Numerous defense units quickly guarded their respective dock areas.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Kemo Vanu led the overwhelming Mechanical Clan forces into the docks, but they did not attack these manufacturing docks.

    At this moment, anxious voices sounded in the public communication channel.

    “Quick, stop the large-scale area attacks.”

    “Don’t hit your own shipbuilding area!”

    This shipbuilding area had a large number of semi-finished warships, and these manufacturing facilities were not just expensive.

    For a time, the pursuing forces fell silent, not daring to fire indiscriminately.

    Kemo Vanu was immediately overjoyed and immediately led his subordinates to break through with full force.

    Starlight City, Area A.

    Behind a collapsed building ruin, Kloss, piloting the stealthy Blade Dragon, stared at the City Lord’s Mansion not far away.

    Although the City Lord’s Mansion was within reach, Kloss dared not approach rashly. His gaze then fell on an empty area, and he spoke gravely.

    “No, I can’t get close. There’s still an old fox waiting, and I’m not sure if there are other experts inside.”

    “Forget it, there’s no chance. But it doesn’t matter, the situation is basically confirmed. Council Speaker Long Xian is 99% dead. Let’s go!”

    Pamier (clone) replied with great certainty.

    He understood Council Speaker Long Xian very well. If he were still alive today, everyone who came to cause trouble would have to stay; no one would get away.

    After all, even the most good-tempered person couldn’t tolerate such a direct provocation, let alone Council Speaker Long Xian.

    “Mm!”

    Kloss controlled the Blade Dragon mech, then turned and left.

    At this moment, the old man glanced in the direction Kloss had left, a helpless smile appearing on his face, and then he also controlled his mech to leave.

    Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

    Gakels and Long Shadow and others walked up from the underground passage.

    A scene of devastation met their eyes. The buildings around the City Lord’s Mansion were all destroyed, but fortunately, the main hall remained.

    Gakels looked at the severely damaged City Lord’s Mansion, feeling heartbroken, and then walked all the way to the main entrance.

    Long Shadow and others silently followed beside Gakels.

    Soon, they reached the main gate of the City Lord’s Mansion. Looking out, the entire Area A, excluding the sunken important buildings, was almost razed to the ground, a truly unbearable sight.

    At this moment, Gakels looked up at the Star Light Umbrella in the sky, only to see that the entire Star Light Umbrella was riddled with holes, especially a super large hole in the middle.

    Gakels’ blood pressure immediately soared as he looked at those holes.

    This Star Light Umbrella was incredibly expensive; it was unknown how much money it would cost to repair.

    At this moment, Gakels seemed to see countless amounts of money burning away.

    Bang!

    At this moment, the plaque above the main gate of the City Lord’s Mansion also fell down, unable to bear the weight, and crashed heavily on the ground.

    Gakels turned his head to look at the fallen plaque, then sat down powerlessly on the steps in front of the City Lord’s Mansion’s main gate, his face showing a sad and lonely expression.

    He looked like an old man who had lost his home.

    Cloud Soft and others looked at this scene, falling into silence, no one daring to utter a sound.

    Time passed second by second.

    A moment later, Su Ming controlled Ilyinas to emerge from the clouds in the sky and flew towards Area A.

    Su Ming looked down from high above; the entire Area A was like a ruin, with only the City Lord’s Mansion standing alone in the center. And this was thanks to his early arrival, otherwise the City Lord’s Mansion would not have been spared.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    At this moment, one by one, the sunken buildings in Area A began to rise.

    Immediately after, a large number of rescue personnel poured in.

    “Quick, rescue!”

    Everyone began to rescue the surviving soldiers and civilians.

    Su Ming looked at this scene, also sighing deeply, then controlled Ilyinas to land at the City Lord’s Mansion.

    Click!

    Su Ming opened the cockpit and floated down.

    He saw Gakels sitting forlornly on the steps in front of him. Originally, Su Ming wanted to go up and say hello, but in the end, he decided against it.

    At this moment, the Dark Extinguisher Apostle also descended from the sky.

    Bang!

    The Dark Extinguisher Apostle landed next to Ilyinas. Immediately after, the cockpit opened, and Cabuno Fa activated his armored suit and floated down.

    Su Ming looked at Cabuno Fa with great curiosity. He had never seen this old man before, and he was incredibly strong, able to single-handedly block Kemo Vanu and Blade Dragon for so long.

    At this moment, Cabuno Fa also turned his head to look at Su Ming, a very surprised expression on his face.

    He didn’t expect Su Ming to be so young. If he wasn’t mistaken, this kid was at most in his early twenties.

    Such a young man could kill a Type VI General, Amon, and directly confront a Type VI Hero, Kemo Vanu. It was simply incredible.

    Are the Federation’s new generation all so abnormal?

    The more Cabuno Fa looked at Su Ming, the more interested he became. He then walked over, hunched over, and said with a smile,

    “Young man, your strength is impressive.”

    “Thank you for the compliment, sir. May I ask your name?”

    Su Ming replied very politely.

    “Cabuno Fa.”

    Cabuno Fa introduced himself.

    Su Ming was also startled when he heard this name; it seemed familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had heard it at the moment.

    “Don’t you recognize me? It’s normal not to, after all, I haven’t appeared for so many years. But you know General Gabres, right?”

    Cabuno Fa asked with a smile.

    “Yes, I do.”

    Su Ming quickly responded upon hearing Gabres’ name.

    “I am his father, General Cabuno Fa.”

    Cabuno Fa reintroduced himself.

    “So it’s you, sir!”

    Su Ming was also very surprised to hear this, and immediately realized that this old man in front of him should be the First General.

    “No need to be so polite. I heard you introduce yourself earlier, are you from the Thirteenth Corps?”

    “Yes.”

    “So young and already a General, with such formidable strength. Which family are you from?”

    Cabuno Fa became even more curious.

    “From the Su Family of Lei Shen Group.”

    Su Ming respectfully replied to Cabuno Fa.

    Cabuno Fa heard Su Ming’s words and said with a sudden realization.

    “Oh, that kid Su Mulong’s?”

    “Yes.”

    Su Ming replied somewhat awkwardly.

    “A formidable young man, keep up the good work.”

    Cabuno Fa reached out and patted Su Ming’s shoulder, speaking earnestly.

    “Yes, sir.”

    Su Ming quickly responded.

    More than an hour later, the clouds above Starlight City parted, and the Star Destroyer, Tian Lan, emerged from the clouds, appearing in everyone’s sight.

    Su Ming looked up at the Tian Lan. It seemed the Mechanical Clan had escaped.

    At this moment, the Tian Lan opened rows of boarding exits.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Groups of mechs flew out from the boarding exits and descended towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

    At this moment, Dragon Dust, Su Mulong, and others also controlled their mechs to return, and everyone flew towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

    Bang!

    Mech after mech landed on the dilapidated City Lord’s Mansion.

    After Dragon Lan disembarked from the cockpit, she scanned the riddled City Lord’s Mansion and then the severely damaged Area A. Her face turned completely green as she walked directly towards Gakels.

    Dragon Dust and others also walked towards Gakels.

    Immediately after, Vice City Lord Okens and many council members rushed over.

    Su Ming saw so many people gathering towards Gakels, and immediately had a bad premonition, but he did not go forward to join the excitement, but watched from a distance.

    “Su Ming, aren’t you going to join the fun?”

    Cabuno Fa asked with a smile.

    “No, I am a soldier; I am only responsible for defending my country. Other matters are not my concern.”

    Su Ming replied calmly.

    “Well said.”

    Cabuno Fa looked at Su Ming with some surprise. He didn’t expect Su Ming to be not only strong but also to have a first-class temperament.

    At this moment, Dragon Lan and others walked in front of Gakels, and said with a grim face.

    “Gakels, what on earth are you doing? How could you let the Mechanical Clan invade Starlight City? Look at the destruction!”

    “I didn’t want this either. Regarding the invasion of Starlight City, I will investigate all defensive personnel.”

    Gakels replied wearily.

    At this moment, Dragon Dust’s expression changed as he asked,

    “Gakels, let’s put aside the invasion of Starlight City for now. I just want to ask you one thing: is what the Mechanical Clan said true? What is that thing?”

    Long Shadow and others also asked impatiently.

    “That’s right! Is the Federation constantly getting beaten because of that thing?”

    “Why don’t we know about this?”

    A hint of madness was revealed in everyone’s eyes.

    Although they didn’t know what the Mechanical Clan was referring to, even a fool would know it must be something extremely valuable.

    After all, that thing could make Kemo Vanu directly betray them; how good must it be?

    Gakels heard the crowd’s interrogation, and he became like a lit powder keg, roaring in anger.

    “Shut up! No one is allowed to mention that thing again!”

    “Gakels, that’s too much. If the Federation is truly being attacked by the other four forces because of that thing, shouldn’t you give us an explanation? Otherwise, being inexplicably besieged and so many people dying, what will everyone think?”

    Long Shadow said without reservation.

    “That’s right!”

    Everyone echoed.

    “Fine! The thing is in Council Speaker Long Xian’s hands. If you have the guts, go ask him!”

    Gakels also said with a gloomy face to everyone.

    For a moment, Long Shadow and the others were speechless. They wanted to ask if Council Speaker Long Xian was dead.

    But the words were on the tip of their tongues, and no one dared to actually ask.

    “Hmph!”

    Gakels flicked his sleeve, then turned and left, leaving the others looking at each other.

    “Sigh! Things are about to change.”

    Cabuno Fa also sighed as he watched this scene, then left.

    Su Ming also couldn’t help but shake his head.

    At this moment, Su Mulong, Su Zhentian, and others walked towards Su Ming.

    “Su Ming!”

    “Grandfather, Grandpa!”

    Su Ming replied with a smile.

    “Good boy, it’s great that you’re okay.”

    Su Mulong said with great emotion.

    “I’m sorry for making you worry.”

    “Why say such things among family? Come home with us, let’s have a good get-together.”

    “Grandfather, I still have many things to deal with. And I need to go back to Xiguang Laboratory for recuperation, so I won’t be returning for now.”

    Su Ming explained to Su Mulong and the others.

    “Alright, then come home after you’re done with your work. We’ll go clean up the mess first.”

    Su Mulong nodded and said.

    “Okay.”

    Su Ming nodded.

    After Su Mulong and the others left, Su Ming raised his wristband and entered a command, instructing someone to send Ilyinas and himself to Xiguang Laboratory.

    Guangying Star Sea.

    Inside the Worlds Eye, Shabask Royal Palace Hall.

    Omi Germany sat on the throne with a solemn expression, while Shadr dutifully waited beside his father.

    Lord Long Bai and Feilong and others stood in front of Omi Germany.

    “Omi Germany, you have seen it. The Mechanical Clan’s army has already breached the Wormhole Time-Space Defense Line, and they are continuously increasing their forces. According to this trend, the fall of Guangying Star Sea is only a matter of time. At that time, your country will certainly suffer a devastating blow. Although the Dark Star Empire and Apocalypse Divine Kingdom have a mutual defense treaty with you, you should know better than anyone that those two will not fight to the death to protect you.”

    Lord Long Bai said coldly to Ohmid.

    “Lord Long Bai, then what do you mean?”

    Ohmid asked with a solemn expression.

    “My meaning is star migration, to move your Worlds Eye into Federal territory.”

    Lord Long Bai said calmly.

    Although Ohmid had long been mentally prepared, his face immediately turned very ugly when he heard Lord Long Bai say it himself.

    Once the Shabask Kingdom migrated its stars, not to mention the matter of living under others’ roofs, they would lose the advantageous central geographical position of the Guangying Star Sea and would also be unable to continue mining. This was simply a disaster for the Shabask Kingdom.

    “Omi Germany, I know this decision is very painful for you, and it may even shake your foundations, but as the saying goes, it’s better to be alive than dead.”

    Lord Long Bai saw that Ohmid was silent and tried his best to persuade him.

    The current situation is very clear: as long as the Mechanical Clan continues its offensive, the Guangying Star Sea will eventually be doomed, and by then, the Shabask Kingdom will surely become a refugee state.

    She must win over the Shabask Kingdom to her side; after all, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.

    “Let me think about it.”

    Ohmid took a deep breath and said to Lord Long Bai.

    At this moment, Jon’s wristband vibrated; he glanced at it, then walked aside to answer the call.

    After only a few seconds of answering, Jon’s expression drastically changed, and he turned to Lord Long Bai, saying,

    “This is bad, Lord Long Bai, the Third Planet is under attack!”

    Ohmid and the others were stunned upon hearing Jon’s words.

    Feilong, even more shocked, spoke up.

    “What did you say? The Third Planet is under attack?”

    “Yes!”

    Jon immediately nodded in response.

    Lord Long Bai’s expression grew colder, but she still managed to control her surging emotions, turning to Ohmid and saying,

    “Lord Ohmid, please consider the matter of star relocation carefully.

    The Mechanical Clan won’t be able to attack here for a short while, so I’ll be leaving first.”

    “Alright!”

    Ohmid nodded in reply.

    “Farewell.”

    Lord Long Bai left directly with Feilong.

    — —

    The next day, inside a room at Xiguang Laboratory.

    Su Ming lay on the bed, raising his wristband to log into the Star Cluster Forum.

    The entire Star Cluster Forum was in chaos, with countless posts erupting frantically, discussing only two things.

    One was the attack on Starlight City, and the other was the discussion about that “thing.”

    Among them, posts discussing the “thing” mentioned by the Mechanical Clan accounted for ninety percent, directly overshadowing the attack itself.

    “Have you heard? The reason we’re getting beaten is because we have something incredible in our hands.”

    “I’m really fed up.

    I always thought that the alien races, the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom, and the Dark Star Empire were attacking us because we occupied a large territory and they were envious.

    It turns out, after all this time, we’re holding a hot potato.”

    “Exactly!

    And according to the Mechanical Clan, that thing was even snatched from their hands.”

    “That’s too much! They get to hold onto the good stuff while we get beaten here.

    Why should that be?!”

    “What do you think that thing is, exactly? Something that would make the alien races willing to launch a racial war?”

    “I bet it’s some treasure that can grant infinite power or eternal life; otherwise, no one would bother to put in so much effort to snatch it.”

    “Makes sense.”

    Su Ming looked at these discussion posts, his expression also very solemn.

    Indeed, the matter of Council Speaker Long Xian bringing back that “thing” could no longer be kept a secret.

    He looked up at Celes with great curiosity and asked,

    “Celes, do you know what that thing actually is?”

    “How would I know? But I can be sure it’s absolutely something super good.

    Otherwise, the Mechanical Clan wouldn’t have declared that they’d spare us if the Federation handed it over, and it even looks like negotiations are possible.”

    Celes said excitedly.

    “Makes sense.”

    “Su Ming, aren’t you tempted by such a good thing?”

    “What’s there to be tempted by?”

    Su Ming replied indifferently.

    “You’re being a bit Versailles.

    Everyone else is fighting tooth and nail for that thing, and you’re speaking so nonchalantly.”

    Celes said with a giggle.

    “Everyone’s pursuits are different.”

    Su Ming replied dismissively.

    Knock knock!

    At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

    “Come in!”

    Su Ming turned his head to the closed door and spoke.

    Creak ~

    The door was then pushed open, and Dr. Borden walked in, saying with a smile,

    “Lord Su Ming.”

    “Dr. Borden, what is it?”

    “Lord Blacks wants you to come to the laboratory.

    He wants to give you a full body check-up to confirm your current physical condition.”

    “Alright!”

    Su Ming immediately got up from the bed and left with Dr. Borden.

    “Wait for me!”

    Celes hurriedly followed.

    A moment later, Su Ming arrived at the central laboratory.

    Blacks had already prepared the examination equipment, then calmly said to Su Ming,

    “Get on.”

    “Alright!”

    Su Ming cooperatively lay down on the equipment.

    Blacks entered a series of commands on the control panel, and the entire device began to operate, scanning Su Ming’s body comprehensively.

    Rows of detected data appeared.

    Celes glanced at them and said in great surprise,

    “Wow, not only has the pollution value decreased, but all the indicator values are so high!

    Some values even exceed those of some low-form monsters.”

    “Hmm!”

    Blacks’ cold face showed a hint of excitement.

    From the detected data, he could confirm that the V-type Gene Agent · Divine Ban had been successfully developed.

    Of course, further optimization of this gene agent would still be needed, as the injection requirements and risks were too high.

    More than an hour later, all tests were completed.

    Dr. Blacks turned off the testing equipment and said to Su Ming,

    “Alright, you can get down.”

    “How is it?”

    Su Ming asked with great anticipation.

    “Very good.

    In your current state, as long as you strictly control the time you pilot the biological mecha, it shouldn’t cause too much damage to your body.

    Also, you need to keep exercising to allow your body to fully absorb the Divine Ban agent as much as possible.”

    “Alright.”

    “How much power can you exert piloting Ilyinas now?”

    Blacks looked at Su Ming and asked.

    “Currently, I feel like fighting Type VI General-level alien races is no problem.

    In a full burst state, with the Dragonic Spear’s enhancement, I should be able to reach Type VI Lord-level.

    However, facing Type VI Hero-level is still not possible.

    During the A-zone defense battle, I tried to use Ilyinas’ full burst to ambush Kemo Vanu, but he easily blocked it.”

    Su Ming said to Blacks.

    “There’s nothing strange about that.

    Alien races themselves are stronger than mechas of the same level.

    Kemo Vanu is also a veteran Type VI Hero, so it’s perfectly normal that you can’t match his power.”

    Blacks said to Su Ming.

    “Alright, Lord Blacks, I have a question, may I ask?”

    “Ask away.”

    “I’m just a bit confused.

    Although the Mechanical Clan’s technology is stronger than ours, can’t we cope with their invasion?”

    “Do you feel that Xiguang Laboratory’s various defense measures are useless in front of them, and they can invade easily?”

    “Yes.”

    Su Ming replied awkwardly.

    “There’s a reason for that.”

    “What reason?”

    “This involves a secret.

    If it were anyone else asking, I definitely wouldn’t tell them.

    Since you want to know, then I’ll tell you.”

    “Thank you, Lord Blacks, please tell me!”

    “The reason we humans were able to enter the interstellar era in a short time and develop to our current level isn’t purely by our own efforts.

    It’s due to the help of an alien friend.

    It came to the Third Planet, passed on technology to us, and helped the Federation establish Xiguang Laboratory.”

    Blacks said calmly.

    “An alien friend?”

    Su Ming replied with great shock.

    “That’s right, and this alien friend itself is from the Mechanical Clan.

    Therefore, our technology actually evolved from the Mechanical Clan’s, so naturally, we can’t compete with the Mechanical Clan.

    Furthermore, even if our technology reaches the same level as the Mechanical Clan, we’re still at a great disadvantage because the Mechanical Clan has a natural bonus in technology; this is called racial talent!”

    Blacks explained to Su Ming.

    Su Ming took a deep breath upon hearing Blacks’ words, then asked,

    “Lord Blacks, if that’s the case, why don’t we ask that Mechanical Clan friend for help?

    If it were here, we definitely wouldn’t be so passive.”

    “It disappeared a long time ago.”

    “Ah, disappeared? Where did it go?”

    “Unclear.

    Only Council Speaker Long Xian knows the inside story.”

    Blacks explained calmly.

    “Understood.”

    Su Ming nodded.

    Buzz buzz ~

    Su Ming’s wristband suddenly vibrated, and a message popped up.

    “Su Ming, hurry to Dawn Hall, something big is about to happen!”

    Su Ming glanced at the message sent by Vice City Lord Okens, his brows immediately furrowing.

    “What’s wrong?”

    Blacks asked calmly.

    “Something urgent came up; I need to leave for a bit.”

    Su Ming said to Blacks.

    “Go ahead, your body is fine.”

    Blacks said curtly.

    “Alright, then I’ll be going first.”

    Su Ming turned and left in a hurry.

    — —

    Federation Administrative Building · Dawn Hall.

    The entire conference hall was packed, and everyone was discussing animatedly.

    “Do you think Lord Gakels will give us a satisfactory explanation today?”

    “He should, right? Otherwise, how will he appease the public’s anger?”

    “Exactly! We’ve been inexplicably beaten for so long, and so many people have died.

    It’s simply outrageous that they’ve kept it from us for so long.”

    Just then, Gakels, his old face taut, walked out from the backstage of Dawn Hall with his hands behind his back.

    The previously noisy council hall immediately quieted down, and everyone’s gaze fell on Gakels.

    Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Gakels walked to the center of the council platform and said with a grim face,

    “Silence!”

    Instantly, everyone quieted down, looking at Gakels with anticipation.

    At this moment, Gakels glanced at the crowd, then continued,

    “Regarding the damage caused by the alien invasion, and the subsequent compensation, resettlement, reconstruction, etc., drafting will begin—”

    However, Gakels hadn’t even finished speaking when someone interrupted him.

    At this moment, Baikedi stood up and was the first to launch an attack.

    “Lord Gakels, shouldn’t you explain first?”

    “Explain what?”

    Gakels looked coldly at Baikedi.

    Baikedi’s expression stiffened, then he said to Gakels,

    “Of course, explain why we were beaten.

    For all these years, we’ve always thought the Federation was being attacked because our enemies were barbaric and cruel, but it turns out, after all this time, it’s because we stole something.”

    “Exactly!”

    Many council members echoed.

    “So, what do you all want to do?”

    Gakels stared at Baikedi with an expressionless face and asked.

    Baikedi, seeing Gakels’ cold gaze, immediately felt intimidated and stammered, unable to utter a single coherent sentence for a long time.

    Long Shadow, seeing that this fellow had chickened out, stood up and said,

    “Lord Gakels, let me speak.

    The situation is very clear now: with the thing in our Federation, the Mechanical Clan, Kirami, the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom, and the Dark Star Empire will all come after us.

    They’ll be here very soon.

    And we don’t even know what that thing is right now.

    Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?”

    “I apologize, I also don’t know what that thing is.

    Only the Council President knows.”

    “Then it’s simple: either let the Council President come out to preside over the overall situation, or hand over the item.”

    “The Council President cannot come out right now.”

    Gakels replied with a very grim expression.

    “Lord Gakels, this time is different from before.

    It’s useless for you to deceive us; you must give us a satisfactory explanation.”

    Long Shadow replied calmly.

    “Exactly, just tell us truthfully, what exactly is the Council President’s situation right now?”

    Dragon Lan also stood up and questioned.

    At this moment, the council members present also rose one after another, questioning,

    “Lord Gakels, is the Council President really dead or in trouble, as the Mechanical Clan says?”

    “It’s useless for you to keep it from us like this.”

    “Exactly, we need to know the outcome now.”

    Vice City Lord Okens looked at the agitated crowd on site, feeling an increasing headache.

    If Gakels didn’t provide a convincing answer at today’s meeting, something big was likely to happen.

    Gakels’ old face kept changing, then he spoke,

    “Silence!”

    “Silence!”

    However, the scene remained chaotic; the crowd on site completely ignored Gakels’ words and continued to accuse him agitatedly.

    Gakels’ expression instantly turned extremely grim.

    In fact, it was not surprising for such a situation to occur.

    The Federation had been inexplicably attacked by various forces for so many years, the Council President had not appeared for a long time, and his life or death was unknown.

    Their patience had long reached its limit.

    Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control.

    Bang!

    Suddenly, the door of the council hall was pushed open.

    Everyone was also startled, turning their heads to look back.

    They saw Su Ming, dressed in a general’s uniform, walk in with a solemn expression.

    “General Su Ming is here.”

    Suddenly, everyone quieted down, and the order of the conference hall gradually resumed.

    Long Shadow and the others looked at Su Ming walking in, their expressions also turning grim.

    At this moment, Su Ming glanced at everyone present, then walked to the corner at the very back of the conference seating and sat down.

    Okins couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief; it was a good thing Su Ming arrived at the crucial moment.

    Seeing the noisy scene quiet down, Gakels said in a deep voice,

    “Everyone, listen to me.”

    Everyone gazed at Gakels, patiently waiting to hear what he had to say.

    “This matter is too significant; I cannot decide it alone.

    Therefore, I propose that we immediately send people to notify City Lord Alicia, City Lord Faraon, and Lord Long Bai to return.

    Then, we will hold a full supreme-level meeting and clarify everything.”

    Gakels said to the crowd.

    “Alright!”

    Dragon Lan was silent for a few seconds after hearing Gakels’ words, finally giving in and replying.

    “No problem!”

    The many council members present approved Gakels’ proposal.

    Su Ming also sighed slightly upon hearing this.

    Although Gakels did not directly announce the outcome and successfully stalled for time, in a sense, the situation became even worse.

    Once Lord Long Bai and the others returned, if the supreme meeting failed, the Federation would likely be finished too.

    “Meeting adjourned!”

    Gakels raised his hand and waved, then turned and walked towards the side door.
