Chapter 423: Chapter 324 Sky Control Base (Five in One)_2

In an instant, the entire hall stood up, even Farren and Alicia rose to their feet, offering the young girl a slight bow.

The young girl walked down the main aisle and stepped onto the main podium.

Gakels took a deep breath and then stepped aside, yielding the podium to the young girl. freewebnøvel.com

The young girl faced everyone and offered a slight bow, then calmly began to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the spokesperson for the Council Chairman. The Chairman has ordered that I speak on his behalf."

Upon hearing the young girl’s words, the assembly members’ expressions turned very excited.

"The Council Chairman has finally spoken!"

"That’s great!"

...

Farren and Alicia’s expressions suddenly became very serious, their eyes fixed on the girl on the stage.

"Respected sirs and madams, the Federation is now in deep decline; this once greatest alliance is heading toward its downfall. We are currently facing the most severe challenge in our history. The Dark Star Empire has brought the flames of war to us, our soldiers are fighting alone, and our people are roaring in indignation. Yet what are we doing? We are engaged in endless bickering here. Right now, with every passing second, our soldiers are dying. We can no longer continue like this; we must turn our words into actions, unite our strength, and stand together against the formidable enemy."

"What should we do?"

Farren asked the young girl, staring intently at her.

"By the order of the Council Chairman, we will officially establish the Thirteenth Legion·Xi Guang Corps. This corps will draw personnel and reservist officers from various major planets. It symbolizes unity, hope, the rise of the Federation!"

The young girl solemnly announced to everyone.

Upon hearing the young girl’s words, there was a stir among the crowd.

But Xiao Lie and others spoke with grim faces.

"A new legion? What’s the use? The old legions can’t even win; isn’t sending a new one just sending them to their deaths?"

"Exactly!"

"This method won’t work!"

...

Many assembly members spoke one after another.

Farren and Alicia frowned deeply, their expressions constantly shifting.

"Please be silent, and listen to me,"

the young girl addressed the crowd.

The noisy assembly hall immediately quieted down, and all eyes refocused on the young girl.

"The newly established Thirteenth Legion will be under my direct command. I promise everyone here that we will definitely crush the Imperial Army and rescue our encircled compatriots!"

The young girl solemnly pledged to everyone.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, at a loss for words, as she had essentially made a military vow.

Then the young girl continued to address the crowd.

"Of course, the establishment of the Thirteenth Legion will require everyone’s help here. I hope that you can contribute money, personnel, and weaponry! This is not just for the Federation, but for everyone!"

"Alright, if that’s the case! I, Sky Dome City, will support first!"

Farren saw how far the conversation had gone and immediately spoke out.

"Full support!"

...

Gakels, Alicia, and others also spoke out in support!

"Very well, I now officially declare the formation of the Federation 13th Legion·Xi Guang Corps!"

"Following the will of the Council Chairman!"

Vice Chairman Gakels took the lead in agreeing, prompting applause.

The entire assembly then erupted into a round of enthusiastic applause.

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

Starlight City.

All the open-air holographic advertising, television stations, online news websites, and Star Cluster Forum.

In a flash, everything was replaced, broadcasting the latest announcement from the Federation Government.

"The Federation Government has passed the latest resolution, calling for the selection of elite officers from each planet, appealing to retired officers and soldiers, and recruiting military academy students, to join together in establishing the Thirteenth Legion·Xi Guang Corps...."

...

Suddenly, pedestrians on the streets stopped in their tracks, looking up in astonishment at the projections of the news.

"What’s going on?"

"I heard right, the Federation is forming the Thirteenth Legion."

"Oh my God!"

"What are they planning to do?"

...

In an instant, the establishment of the Thirteenth Legion·Xi Guang Corps spread throughout all regions and planets of the Federation, causing a huge sensation.

The next day, early morning.

Imperial Court Academy gates.

One by one, military vehicles entered, coming to a halt in the central courtyard to the astonishment of all the students.

The doors opened, and officers jumped out.

In the central courtyard, these officers began setting up desks.

Then the school broadcast sounded with Vice Principal Fleck’s stern voice.

"Students, please halt all your activities for a moment, I have an important announcement. The Federation Government’s highest assembly has made a decision. The Thirteenth Legion·Xi Guang Corps is officially established. We now encourage sophomore students and above without military corps affiliation to eagerly enlist, and freshmen may volunteer."

....

Following the announcement, a large number of students gathered in the central courtyard.

Many students approached to inquire about enlistment.

In addition, many students observed from a distance, making the whole courtyard very lively.

At this time, Su Ming, accompanied by his classmates, also hurriedly arrived at the central courtyard.

"So many people."

Rhein and others exclaimed in surprise at the scene of enlistment.

"Normal, if there weren’t this many people signing up, then we’d really be in trouble."

Su Ming replied in a somber tone.

"Class president, I saw online that some people are saying the Thirteenth Legion is established specifically to rescue the trapped forces."

Angel said to Su Ming.

"Definitely, otherwise why establish the legion at all during this time?"

Su Ming responded to Angel with certainty.

"But, they also say that the Federation is establishing this legion just to send them to their deaths. You know, if the battle-hardened old legions can’t beat the Imperial Army, isn’t a new legion just cannon fodder?"
