Chapter 503: Remaining Power
by SunflowerAt this moment, Dragon White and Gakels walked proudly down the main path, attracting everyone’s attention.
Su Ming’s gaze followed Dragon White forward, then swept over the people in the front row.
He noticed many unfamiliar faces and asked Feilong with some curiosity.
“Old Fei, who are those people standing next to Dragon Lan in the front row?”
Upon hearing this, Feilong glanced over, then tilted his head and quietly introduced them to Su Ming.
“That middle-aged man with a scarred face, rugged features, and dark skin is Rosa Gaia, the City Lord of Black Flame Star. The old man sitting next to him, with a face full of wrinkles, white temples, and a solemn expression, is Kemo Vanu, the City Lord of Di Yan Star. To the right, the one with phoenix eyes, fair skin, and a somewhat pure yet alluring look is Alicia, the City Lord of Nether Moon Star.”
“Mm.”
Su Ming nodded slightly, which meant that those sitting in the first row were either members of the Long family or City Lords of the various planets, all of whom were standard figures of real power.
However, what surprised Su Ming was that General Cabuno Fa also attended this meeting, sitting in the far-right area of the first row, with his eyes closed in repose.
At this moment, Dragon White and Gakels also stepped onto the main council platform.
After going on stage, Gakels respectfully stepped back, yielding the main seat to Dragon White, which showed Dragon White’s identity and status.
Dragon White bowed slightly to everyone and calmly said,
“Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this grand meeting. I declare the meeting open.”
“First, an introduction: I am Dragon White, the Council Speaker’s spokesperson. If you have any questions or requests, you can speak directly, and I will answer them one by one for you.”
For a moment, the entire meeting hall was silent; no one stood up.
After all, as the saying goes, the nail that sticks out gets hammered. Being a troublemaker is not a good thing.
However, the silence was quickly broken when Faraon, seeing that no one was speaking, stood up and said,
“I am a straightforward person and don’t beat around the bush. Now that everything is out in the open, we just want to know what the Federation took. Is that thing the reason we were besieged?”
“I will tell you clearly: Yes. But I also don’t know what that thing is; only Council President knows.”
“Good, then let the Council Speaker come out to take charge of the overall situation and give an explanation to all of us.”
Faraon stated directly.
“That’s right!”
Everyone echoed.
Dragon White fell silent for a moment.
Below the stage, Su Ming looked at Dragon White, who was bearing immense pressure, and his heart ached. He really wanted to stand up and say a few words for her, but he couldn’t, because he knew that the Federation had to make a choice now.
At this moment, Long Shadow stood up and said in a deep voice to Dragon White,
“Dragon White, Council Speaker Long Xian has been in seclusion for a hundred years. Even without this incident, it’s time for Council President to come out and take charge of the situation. The Federation cannot remain leaderless indefinitely.”
Hearing this, Dragon White’s purple eyes swept across the entire hall, then she said to everyone,
“Lord Dragon String cannot come out, but if you insist on seeing him, I can select some representatives to take you to him.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Faraon, Alicia, Dragon Dust, Dragon Lan, Long Shadow, and others were first stunned, then their faces showed excited expressions. After more than a hundred years, they could finally see Dragon String, so they replied without hesitation.
“Good, then you choose!”
At this moment, Dragon White also spoke coldly.
“Firstly, the descendants of the Long family are qualified to meet Council Speaker Long Xian, so Dragon Dust, Long Shadow, and Dragon Lan can serve as representatives.”
“Good.”
Dragon Dust and the other two immediately responded.
“Next are City Lord Gakels, City Lord Faraon, and City Lord Alicia! As pillars of the Federation, the three of you can also serve as representatives.”
Dragon White said to Faraon and the others.
“No problem.”
Faraon and Alicia responded without hesitation.
“Next will be military personnel, with General Cabuno Fa as the representative!”
Dragon White immediately called out the name.
“Good!”
Cabuno Fa immediately opened his eyes, and a rare ripple appeared on his aged face. Although he had been guarding Dragon String, he hadn’t seen Dragon String for a whole century.
“As for the other personnel, please wait patiently for the outcome of the meeting. If there are no objections, the matter is settled.”
Dragon White finalized the matter.
“Alright!”
Although many of the senators, officials, and generals present were very unwilling, no one stood up to object.
Because the representatives Dragon White chose were enough to suppress everyone present.
“Since the matter is settled, let’s head to the Interstellar Airport to see Council Speaker Long Xian now.”
Faraon urged impatiently.
“Alright, everyone, please follow me to the Interstellar Airport.”
Dragon White said directly.
“Ah? Go to the Interstellar Airport?”
“What’s going on? Shouldn’t we be going underground at the City Lord’s Mansion? Why the Interstellar Airport?”
“Unclear.”
Everyone present was completely bewildered, speaking out in utter astonishment.
Su Ming was also very surprised. What was Dragon White going to do? Is she going to take them all out in one fell swoop?
Faraon and the others frowned deeply.
Unfortunately, Dragon White had no intention of explaining and walked directly down from the council platform.
Seeing this, Faraon and the others could only get up and follow Dragon White.
At this moment, Dragon White turned her head and glanced at Su Ming and Feilong.
Su Ming and Feilong immediately understood, and promptly rose from their seats to follow Dragon White.
When Dragon White led Faraon and the others out of the Dawn Council Hall, General Xinlade and others decisively got up and followed. Although they couldn’t see Council Speaker Long Xian, there was no problem with following them to the Interstellar Airport.
At this moment, the reporters responsible for the live broadcast, seeing that everyone had left, quickly picked up their cameras and followed.
An hour later.
Dragon White led the crowd to the Interstellar Airport.
She stopped and said to the many senators and generals following behind her,
“Everyone, please wait for news here. I will take Faraon and the others to see Lord Dragon String.”
“Good.”
Although Sinrad and the others were very unwilling, they could only wait there.
Dragon White then led Dragon Dust and the others towards the boarding entrance of the Level 5 Battleship, Gray Mist.
Dragon Dust, Alicia, and the others frowned deeply when they saw Dragon White was going to take them onto the Gray Mist, their hearts filled with confusion.
However, everyone had a tacit understanding; no one questioned it.
Su Ming was also very puzzled. He couldn’t help but glance at Feilong, asking him with his eyes what Dragon White was going to do. Could it be that she was going to wipe them all out?
Feilong shook his head slightly, also completely bewildered.
At this time, countless citizens, having received the news, gathered towards the Interstellar Airport in the center of Starlight City.
In an instant, the entire Interstellar Airport was surrounded by a dense crowd.
Many reporters were there, conducting live broadcasts.
“Ladies and gentlemen! According to the news we have received, Lord Gakels and the others have already gone to meet Council Speaker Long Xian, and we can finally get accurate news about Council Speaker Long Xian.”
“Now we can see that over a million citizens have gathered here, and the number is still increasing. The emotions of the citizens on site are very agitated, and many people are shouting the Council Speaker’s name loudly.”
“The Federation will usher in a historic moment today. Council Speaker Long Xian is expected to come out of seclusion, dispel all rumors, and lead us back to glory.”
Xiao Lie and the others stood in the waiting area, eagerly looking at the sky.
The future direction of the Federation would soon be revealed.
—
Not long after, Su Ming and the others boarded the Gray Mist and arrived at the lounge.
“Everyone, please rest here for a while. Once the Gray Mist arrives at its destination, I will take you to see Council President Dragon String.”
Dragon White said to Faraon and the others.
“Good!”
Although Faraon and the others were very confused, they remained patient.
Su Ming then found a seat and sat down, waiting for the Gray Mist to set sail.
At this moment, he felt a figure standing in front of him and subconsciously looked up.
He saw City Lord Alicia smiling at him.
“Lord City Lord Alicia.”
Su Ming quickly stood up and greeted her politely.
“Su Ming, I didn’t expect you to be alive!”
City Lord Alicia said with a smile.
Su Ming’s mouth twitched slightly when he heard City Lord Alicia’s words, and he replied,
“Lord Alicia, why is the first thing everyone asks me when they see me, ‘You’re not dead yet?’ Do you all wish I’d die sooner?”
“Heh heh, you’re overthinking it. I’m happier than anyone that you’re still alive. I haven’t properly thanked you for the Tidal Star Sea battle.”
Alicia said with a light laugh.
“That’s what I should do, taking money to resolve problems.”
Su Ming coughed and said.
“Is that so?”
Alicia asked meaningfully.
At this moment, Su Ming felt an unusual gaze and subconsciously turned his head to look, only to find Dragon White looking in his direction, and he replied awkwardly,
“Yes.”
“Alright, then I won’t chat with you for now. Someone’s gaze is almost murderous. When things are over and you have time, you can come to Rainy City for a visit.”
Alicia openly extended an olive branch to Su Ming.
“Good.”
Su Ming replied politely.
Alicia smiled, then turned and walked towards Faraon.
At this moment, the Gray Mist set sail and flew towards the sky.
Everyone waited patiently.
Before long, the Gray Mist sailed out of the Third Planet and into space, then flew towards Star Radiance Fortress.
Finally, the Gray Mist entered the dock of Star Radiance Fortress.
Clang!
The entire battleship caught in the dock, shaking slightly.
At this moment, Dragon Dust and the others’ brows immediately furrowed. Although they couldn’t see the outside situation, they knew, even with their eyes closed, that the Gray Mist had left the Third Planet.
However, they were a bit confused as to where Dragon White was taking them. Had they arrived at their destination so quickly?
“Let’s go.”
Dragon White said in a calm tone.
With doubts, everyone followed Dragon White towards the exit.
Before long, they disembarked from the Gray Mist and arrived inside the dock of Star Radiance Fortress.
Su Ming looked at the very familiar surroundings, a surprised expression on his face.
At this moment, Faraon and the others asked with tightly furrowed brows,
“Dragon White, why did you bring us to Star Radiance Fortress? Could it be that Council President is here?”
“That’s right, Council President is on Star Radiance Fortress.”
Dragon White said calmly.
As soon as these words were spoken, General Cabuno Fa was completely stunned. Council President is on Star Radiance Fortress? Then what was he guarding? Could it be that the space behind that door was empty?
Gakels, Faraon, and the others were also too astonished to utter a single word.
Su Ming’s expression, on the other hand, became very interesting. After all this time, Council Speaker Long Xian was inside Star Radiance Fortress? Then weren’t they carrying Dragon String everywhere on their expeditions? And those idiots didn’t even know, being played for fools?
If that were really the case, Dragon White was truly too crazy.
But it had to be said, Dragon White had truly succeeded in deceiving everyone. The Mechanical Clan probably still thought that Council Speaker Long Xian was beneath the City Lord’s Mansion.
“What a clever tactic, even we were fooled.”
Dragon Dust chuckled wryly, saying with great emotion.
“I apologize, these were all necessary actions. Please understand, and now, please follow me.”
Dragon White finished speaking and walked forward.
Dragon Dust and the others took a deep breath, suppressing their surging emotions, and followed Dragon White forward, no longer dwelling on these matters.
Soon, Dragon White led the group to the pipeline area, walking further inside.
Along the way, old and damaged mechs on both sides came into view.
Su Ming looked at these dust-covered mechs, his eyelids twitching slightly. Could it be that Lord Long Bai was going to take them to that place?
At this moment, everyone arrived at a transfer hall inside Star Radiance Fortress.
At the very front of the transfer hall, there was an open metal gate.
Su Ming and Feilong’s expressions immediately became very unnatural when they saw the gate in front of them.
Then Feilong secretly tugged at Su Ming and whispered,
“You guys go in, I’ll just guard the door and won’t go in.”
“Are you sure? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
“Positive!”
“Alright.”
Su Ming then replied and followed along.
At this moment, Dragon White led the crowd through the gate, and the view suddenly opened up, revealing a solemn and majestic military tomb.
“Dragon White, why did you bring us here?”
Dragon Lan looked at the various relics and ashes placed in the military tomb, her heart trembling, and asked with extreme nervousness.
Faraon and the others also looked at Dragon White, fearing that she would say that Council Speaker was right here.
“Everyone, listen to me. Council Speaker Long Xian is in the secret chamber behind the military tomb.”
Dragon White said calmly.
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief, glad that the worst had not happened.
At this moment, Dragon White walked to the innermost metal wall of the military tomb, then raised her hand and pressed it against the wall.
The rough metal wall suddenly lit up with special patterns, then split open to reveal a unique black stone wall, entirely composed of Katim interference stone and black dust.
Dragon White pressed the black stone wall a few times, instantly triggering the internal mechanism.
Rumble~
The entire military tomb vibrated violently.
Dragon Dust, Faraon, Alicia, and the others saw that the door to the secret chamber was about to open.
Their faces all showed extremely excited expressions. After more than a hundred years, they were finally going to see the Council Speaker.
No matter what thoughts they had before, at this moment they forgot their original intentions, only wanting to see Council Speaker Long Xian.
Click!
The stone wall cracked open an entrance.
Dragon White looked at the opened entrance, her face under the mask showing an extremely complex expression, then she said to everyone,
“Everyone, please follow me inside.”
“Good!”
Gakels and the others took a deep breath and replied.
Dragon White led the group through the entrance, into a long, narrow passage. The entire passage was made of rough stone, with no metal materials whatsoever.
When they reached the end and stepped out of the passage, a dim, circular palace immediately came into view.
The metal walls of the entire palace were cast from special molybdenum-cobalt metal, engraved with intricate patterns and designs.
Inside the palace, nine pitch-black mechanical dragon pillars stood erect, with each pillar extending a special shackle.
These shackles converged into an ice coffin at the center, their pointed ends piercing into an elder dressed in a golden starlit robe, with a head full of white hair, gaunt cheeks, and skin branded with dense, eerie black patterns.
His eyes were tightly shut, his entire body shrouded in black mist, emanating a powerful aura of majesty.
Gakels and the others, upon seeing the elder in the ice coffin, cried out with expressions of extreme terror on their faces.
“Council President!”
Cabuno Fa’s aged body also trembled, a very complicated expression appearing on his face.
Su Ming watched this scene, his expression growing increasingly silent.
At this moment, Dragon Lan, with red eyes, questioned Dragon White, her emotions out of control.
“Dragon White, tell me! What exactly happened to Father?”
Dragon Dust and the others also reacted immediately, asking in a flustered manner.
“Dragon White, what exactly is going on?”
“Everyone, please listen to me.
Council Speaker Long Xian, during his distant expedition years ago, to defeat the two great leaders of the alien races, took a semi-finished V-type Gene Agent: Divine Prohibition, and was also severely injured afterward.
After returning, he had been recuperating, but unfortunately, his injuries were too severe, and coupled with his advanced age, his body had been deteriorating.”
Dragon White walked to the side of the ice coffin, looking at Dragon String inside, and spoke in a low voice.
“Then why are these things locking Father?”
Dragon Lan glared at Dragon White and asked.
“Council Speaker Long Xian, after feeling that his time was short, risked attempting to merge with that thing.
But that thing was too terrifying; it was not something a human could touch, and these shackles are used to suppress his body.”
Dragon White explained to Dragon Lan and the others.
Upon hearing Dragon White’s words, Dragon Lan seemed to lose all her strength, tears streaming down her face.
She then leaned over the ice coffin and sobbed.
“Father, your daughter has come to see you!”
“Wake up, will you look at me one more time?”
Dragon Dust looked at Dragon String’s corpse, his wrinkled face also showing deep sorrow.
Although he had always complained about Dragon String’s favoritism and dislike for him before.
But at this moment, Dragon Dust completely let go, all his complaints and grievances vanishing.
Long Shadow, on the other hand, stood silently to the side, with no expression on his face.
At this moment, Gakels looked at Dragon String’s corpse, his lips trembling as he tried to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked, unable to utter a single word.
Although Gakels had long anticipated it, when he actually saw it, his entire heart felt as if it had been hollowed out.
He had followed the Council Speaker for so many years, and it had finally come to an end.
At this moment, Faraon and Alicia looked at Dragon White with complex expressions and asked.
“Dragon White, since the Council Speaker was already failing, why did you keep it a secret?”
“I merely followed the Council Speaker’s will.
You can look at the line of blood characters written on the ice coffin.”
Dragon White said calmly.
Everyone heard Dragon White’s words and looked closely, and indeed saw a line of blackened blood characters written on the ice coffin.
“Though I am dead, as long as I do not appear, I can deter all races and ensure the safety of the Federation!”
Su Ming looked at this line of words, also taking a deep breath, and felt profound respect for Dragon String.
Gakels and the others were also deeply shocked.
At this moment, Dragon White spoke to everyone.
“The Council Speaker knew that once the news of his death spread, whether it be the Mechanical Clan, Kirami, or Dark Star and Apocalypse, they would all launch a mass attack on the Federation.
But as long as it’s not confirmed that he’s dead, no one would dare to truly move against the Federation.”
In fact, Council Speaker Long Xian had not exaggerated; his lingering prestige had always deterred all enemies.
Neither the Kirami Clan Leader, nor the Mechanical Clan Leader, Dark Star Emperor, and Van Lo Divine Emperor dared to set foot in the Federation.
Although the Federation had been frequently attacked in recent years, those were all mere probes.
Including this attack on the Third Planet, the Mechanical Clan who attacked were actually more nervous than anyone else.
Golden Colossus Kemo Vanu was like a startled bird, running faster than anyone at the slightest abnormality.
Faraon, upon hearing this, showed an unnatural expression on his face, completely lacking his previous arrogance.
Don’t look at how arrogant they were before; that was based on Council Speaker Long Xian still being alive.
Council Speaker Long Xian being alive and being dead are two different concepts.
Without Council Speaker Long Xian, what would the Federation use to resist the alien races?
At this moment, Long Shadow raised his head and looked at Dragon White, asking.
“Father truly dedicated himself to the Federation until his death, but now that Father is gone, we must face reality.
What about that thing?”
Faraon and the others, upon hearing Long Shadow’s words, immediately reacted and all looked at Dragon White.
“That’s right! What about that thing?”
Everyone asked.
Dragon White sighed slightly, walked to the end of the main hall, and pressed his hand against the wall.
Click!
The entire wall split open, revealing a special mechanical isolation chamber.
Inside the isolation chamber sat a circular metal platform, with special mechanical dragon claw devices restraining a mass of black, special substance.
The entire black substance would sometimes appear like a gemstone crystal, sometimes transform into an irregular object, and sometimes become a liquid like water, emitting special power fluctuations, and the dimensions of the space around it seemed twisted.
Although no one recognized what this thing was, just by looking at it, they could tell it was absolutely a divine artifact.
“What is this?”
Alicia and the others asked in shock.
“This thing was retrieved by the Council Speaker from the abyss after defeating the two great alien races.
I’m not sure of its exact name, but it is said that this thing can grant infinite power, allowing one to achieve true high-dimensional life, which is what is called becoming a god.”
Dragon White said calmly to everyone.
“The key to evolution!”
Faraon and the others, upon hearing Dragon White’s words, were all utterly shocked, and each of their faces showed expressions of fanaticism.
“You could understand it that way, but this thing is very dangerous and not something humans can merge with.
Even a powerful figure like Council President failed and ended up like that, which shows how perilous it is!
However, just because humans can’t withstand it doesn’t mean alien races can’t, after all, most of our gene agents are extracted from the Qilami Clan, so our evolutionary progress is very limited.”
Dragon White said to everyone.
In fact, the current development of gene agents in the Federation is not outstanding, mainly because the genetic mother bodies that can be obtained in this universe are all Kirami, but although Kirami gene agents are very effective, they also have significant side effects.
Therefore, the progress of gene agents is very slow.
Of course, the Federation has also considered using alien races like the Zerg to produce them, but advanced insects are very rare.
If one does not rely on gene agents, and simply relies on human self-evolution, which is the mutation of new humans, that would require a very long time.
Dragon Dust, Faraon, and the others, after hearing Dragon White’s words, all looked at the substance with complex expressions.
They had already witnessed the outcome of Dragon String’s failed merger with their own eyes; this thing was absolutely super dangerous, but even so, it couldn’t stop their yearning.
“Alright, I have told everyone everything.”
Dragon White said to everyone.
Gakels and the others all took a deep breath.
At this moment, Gakels said in a deep voice.
“Now that everything has been laid bare, let us be frank with each other and discuss what to do next.”
“That’s right, Council Speaker Long Xian is dead, should we keep this thing or hand it over?”
Alicia looked at everyone and asked.
Faraon and the others, upon hearing Alicia’s words, all showed conflicted expressions.
At this moment, Dragon White said in a deep voice.
“The reason Council Speaker Long Xian could not merge with this thing, and also unwilling to hand it over, is because once the alien races merge with this thing, then this universe will be theirs to command, and we will be fish on a chopping block!”
“We understand that point, but the problem is, Father is no longer here.
If we don’t hand it over, what will we use to contend with the alien races?”
Dragon Dust asked, finding it thorny.
“Don’t worry about that, Council Speaker Long Xian also has countermeasures arranged, it just needs some time.”
Dragon White said to everyone.
“Damn it, what’s there to hesitate about then?
Of course we’re not giving this thing away!”
Faraon excitedly led the way.
“I agree, why should we give it to the alien races!”
Dragon Dust also stated his position.
Dragon Lan, having composed herself, also said through gritted teeth.
“Since Father was unwilling to give it to the alien races, then of course I cannot agree to give it to them either.”
“That’s right, it’s ours, why should we give it to the alien races?”
Alicia smiled and echoed.
“I also agree, upholding the will of the Council Speaker, we will never hand it over!”
Gakels said in a deep voice.
“Well said, I wholeheartedly agree.”
Long Shadow said with immense excitement.
Dragon White, hearing this, his purple eyes flickered, and he said sharply.
“Since everyone unanimously agrees not to hand it over, then we will fight the alien races to the end.
If they want to fight, we will fight them!”
“That’s right, let’s fight them to the end!”
Faraon and the others said excitedly.
Su Ming stood quietly to the side, watching.
He was not surprised by this outcome; who would hand over something they had obtained?
At this moment, Alicia spoke.
“The fate of the item has been settled.
Next, let’s discuss how to distribute it.
Also, Council Speaker Long Xian is dead, and the Federation no longer has a Council Speaker, what should we do now?”
Everyone, upon hearing Alicia’s words, all looked at Dragon White.
Dragon White said sternly to everyone.
“It’s simple, we will hold a general election, with everyone present competing fairly.
The winner will serve as the Federation Council Speaker, and this item will be kept by the Federation Council Speaker.”
“Good, it’s settled!”
Faraon and the others all agreed.
“Now that things have been discussed and settled, I think you all know what to do next, right?”
Dragon White said to Faraon and the others.
“Yes!”
“Very good, then let’s go, everyone is waiting for us!”
“Alright!”
Faraon and the others nodded in response.
Dragon White led everyone out.
Interstellar Airport in the center of Starlight City.
Countless citizens gathered in various areas of the Interstellar Airport, looking up at the sky.
General Xinlade and the others were all gathered in the docking area, each like an ant on a hot pan.
“Why haven’t they returned yet!”
“How long has it been!”
“It’s really killing me!”
Reporters at the scene continuously broadcasted.
“Dear citizens, as of now, Lord Gakels and the others have not yet returned.
We are closely monitoring the situation, and any new developments will be reported in real time.”
The live broadcast’s viewership reached an all-time high; as long as conditions permitted, both citizens and soldiers were paying attention.
Just then, a huge roar came from the sky.
“Look quickly, it’s Gray Mist!”
“They’re here!”
Everyone looked at Gray Mist descending through the clouds and shouted with extreme excitement.
Instantly, the citizens gathered at the Interstellar Airport erupted in cheers.
Soon, Gray Mist landed at the designated docking bay, and General Xinlade and the others all walked towards the main exit.
Many reporters also followed, continuously taking pictures of the exit.
Click!
The exit opened.
Dragon White, Gakels, Faraon, and the others walked down with serious expressions.
At this moment, General Xinlade and the others all gathered around, and everyone looked at Dragon White and the others.
Flash!
Countless camera flashes lit up.
Su Ming looked at this scene, also feeling a great headache.
How was this going to end?
At this moment, Faraon took a step forward and stood in front of everyone.
In an instant, General Xinlade, City Lord Rosa Gaia, and the others’ gazes all converged on Faraon.
Countless cameras were pointed at City Lord Faraon.
Faraon, with a smile on his face, said.
“Haha, everyone, don’t worry, we met Council Speaker Long Xian, and he’s doing very well.
It’s just that his body hasn’t fully recovered yet, so he temporarily can’t meet everyone.”
“City Lord Faraon is right, Father is perfectly fine, it’s just that he’s old, and his body needs a period of quiet recuperation.”
Dragon Dust and the others also stepped forward to confirm.
“It’s really true, that’s great!”
“Council Speaker Long Xian is not dead!”
“Long live Council Speaker Long Xian!”
Everyone present, whether council members or citizens, instantly erupted in cheers!
At this moment, Gakels stepped forward and said sternly.
“Everyone, please quiet down, I will say a few words on behalf of Council Speaker Long Xian!”
The extremely excited crowd gradually calmed down.
“Council Speaker Long Xian said that he still needs some time before he can come out, and the Federation cannot be without a leader for too long.
Therefore, a general election will be held to elect a provisional Council Speaker to exercise his authority.”
“There’s going to be a general election?”
“Just electing an acting Council Speaker.”
“That works too.”
Everyone said in agreement.
The Federation had been without a Council Speaker to lead, making many decisions difficult to finalize.
However, at this moment, City Lord Rosa Gaia and others asked.
“Lord Gakels, what about that thing?”
Everyone, upon hearing City Lord Rosa Gaia and the others’ inquiry, all looked at Gakels and the others.
Although Council Speaker Long Xian not being dead was good news, there still needed to be an explanation about that thing.
“I’ll explain this matter.
Council Speaker Long Xian did seize something, but that thing is useless to us humans.
However, if it falls into the hands of the alien races, they will become incredibly powerful, and then we will be doomed.
Council Speaker Long Xian also held onto that thing and was unwilling to hand it over to the alien races to protect us!”
Faraon explained directly.
“So that’s how it is, then we definitely can’t give it to the alien races!”
“I knew Council Speaker Long Xian wouldn’t harm us.”
Everyone shouted excitedly.
Su Ming looked at this scene, his mouth twitching slightly.
Seriously, these bigwigs in the upper echelons collectively lied and quelled the crisis in minutes.
The city lords of the Three Cities, plus everyone from the Long family and General Cabuno Fa, truly could suppress all opposing voices.
At this moment, Gakels said in a deep voice.
“Alright, everyone, you may disperse!
The Federation will hold a general election in one month, so please prepare in advance.”
“Yes!”
Many council members responded.
