Chapter 422: Chapter 324 Sky Control Base (Five in One)

The next day, inside the dormitory·balcony.

Su Ming leaned against the window, holding his phone, talking to Zhao Ning.

"Son, with the recent situation being so chaotic and fights happening outside every day, are you okay over there? A few days ago, I even received a call to check the household, I guess they are rounding up able-bodied men!"

"Haha, mother, rest assured, I’ll be fine over here."

"I can’t help but worry, son. Last night I had a terrible dream that you were on the battlefield."

"Don’t overthink it, I’m only a freshman, how could I possibly be on a battlefield?"

Su Ming tried his best to comfort Zhao Ning.

"That’s good." freēwēbnovel.com

Zhao Ning relaxed a bit upon hearing this.

At that moment, Su Yuan also joined the call, advising Su Ming.

"You little rascal, you just focus on studying at school, hang out with some girls, and forget about everything else. When you graduate, you can come back and take over the family business!"

"Let’s talk about that later, father, mother! I have to go to class in a bit, so I can’t chat anymore."

Su Ming replied with a resigned smile.

"Alright, remember to dress warmly and take care of yourself. Do you have enough money?"

"I do."

"Okay, then we’ll hang up."

After giving his instructions, Zhao Ning reluctantly hung up the phone.

"Sigh~"

Su Ming let out a slight breath and turned back toward his bed.

At this moment, Rhein, Zhang Yi, and Ankaga were browsing the forum and spoke to Su Ming.

"Class leader, the situation doesn’t seem too great!"

"What happened?"

Su Ming asked thoughtfully.

"The Federation Council still hasn’t come to a decision, and the internet is almost in chaos, filled with arguments everywhere."

Rhein briefly explained.

Su Ming sat on the edge of the bed and logged into the Star Cluster Forum; just as Rhein and the others mentioned, it was complete chaos.

People were quarreling intensely.

Su Ming saw a post where someone was blaming Sky Dome City.

"You are being too reckless, you shouldn’t have gone out and fought with the Imperial Army, let alone engage in a direct battle."

Below the post, countless people from Sky Dome City retorted.

"You really speak without understanding the pain. It’s not your properties being looted, not your territory lost, not your significant people dying; of course, you can comfortably sit at home and talk. If it were your territory in trouble, I bet you’d be more anxious than anyone!"

"Exactly, if you hadn’t been watching idly, would we have wound up like this?"

"And you have the nerve to criticize us?"

...

After scrolling through posts for a while, Su Ming, feeling a headache, turned off the forum and said to Rhein and the others.

"Everyone has their own point of view, and it’s hard to determine who’s right."

"That’s true. On another note, the troops from Sky Dome City were actually quite brave, managing to destroy an Imperial Army’s level 5 Mother Ship ’Blood Mist’ and a level 5 Battleship ’Blood Shadow’, even forcing Blood Ridge Fortress to emit smoke."

Rhein praised while looking at the battle achievements of Sky Dome City.

"They indeed are brave, there’s no doubt about that."

Su Ming replied indifferently.

In fact, Sky Dome City and the Blood-colored Fang Army had an irreconcilable grudge, and seeing an enemy would naturally reignite fury, certainly leading to a fight to the death!

"Class leader, now many people are criticizing Starlight City and Rain Capital. Many think that the reason Sky Dome City lost is because the two cities didn’t send troops! There’s even a post blasting how the Starlight City are cowards, who to keep their troops from entering the battlefield, sent their troops ahead of time to depart from the Federation to the Abyss of Descent."

Zhang Yi remarked with a tsk.

"I also saw that post, it’s raging hot. They say if Starlight City hadn’t been so cowardly, and had sent that troop to support, not only could Sky Dome City’s troops have won, but they might even have destroyed Blood Ridge Fortress!"

Ankaga also chimed in, moving closer.

"It’s not that simple, we can’t just look at the surface. From the current situation, this seems like a trap."

Su Ming replied calmly.

"So did Sky Dome City fall into the trap, that’s quite unwise."

"It’s not about being wise or not, if it was you being robbed, your people being killed, plus having a sworn enemy, you might react even more vehemently. This is clearly a trap set against Sky Dome City."

"That makes sense, so what do we do now?"

Zhang Yi scratched his head as he spoke.

"I’m not sure, let’s wait for the decision from the council!"

Su Ming spoke calmly.

--------------------------------------

Three days later, in Starlight City·Federation Government Admin Building·Dawn Hall.

Gakels stood on the main council platform, as numerous councilors from Farren gradually entered and took their seats.

As time ticked by, anxiety filled the space. The usually quiet council hall began to buzz with whispered discussions.

"Why haven’t they arrived yet?"

"Council Chairman, it’s not going to be another no-show, is it?"

"Don’t talk nonsense!"

"Gakels said, today we will get a result, no matter how late, we must wait!"

....

At this moment, Gakels, standing on the main council platform, though appearing very calm, was also very worried interiorly. If today he couldn’t provide these people with an explanation, the sky might really fall.

However, fortunately, because this matter involved the Council Chairman, everyone managed to contain their questions, showing that even after a century, the position of Council Chairman still carried immense respect.

Just then, the tightly closed doors of the council hall were slowly pushed open!

Everyone, including Farren, turned their heads toward the opening doors.

Gakels also looked up.

A young girl stepped in, all eyes on her as she entered. She wore a deep blue gown adorned with stars, her pale purple hair tied up, adorned with an exquisite golden phoenix hairpin, and her face covered by a silver metallic mask.
