Chapter 912: Chapter 401: Decision-Making (5-in-1) (Part 5)

Shadler let out a long breath, revealing his true nature as he spoke.

"Haha, alright! How have you been lately?"

Su Ming chatted with Shadler.

"Honestly, not great. I have to follow a group of teachers every day to study, and there’s no time for fun. Plus, that guy Su Yuan has run off to the Abyss of Descent, and he’s been unreachable for half a day."

Shadler complained to Su Ming with a bitter face.

"That’s normal; you are now the Crown Prince, the future King of Shabask Kingdom. Naturally, things are different from before."

Su Ming comforted Shadler.

"Sigh, it doesn’t feel as comfortable as before. Anyway, let’s not talk about that. I brought you a gift this time."

Shadler said with a sly smile.

"Gift?"

Su Ming looked at Shadler with slight surprise.

"Soviero!"

Shadler directly called out.

At this moment, the man who was following them stepped forward, picked up an exquisite box, and handed it to Shadler.

Shadler took it and handed it directly to Su Ming.

"Here you go!"

"What is this?"

Su Ming asked curiously as he accepted it.

"Open it up and see, I promise you’ll like it."

Shadler said cheerfully to Su Ming.

Su Ming immediately bowed his head to open the box.

Instantly, the ancient, solemn, holy Crown of Silence came into view.

Su Ming froze slightly, his expression changing momentarily, and then asked solemnly.

"The old man, did he really pass away?"

"Yes."

Shadler paused slightly, then nodded in response.

Upon hearing Shadler’s words, Su Ming let out a long sigh, raised his hand to pat Shadler’s shoulder, and spoke earnestly.

"The old man is gone, and your situation will become increasingly difficult. You need to be sensible and grow up quickly."

"I understand, my father said the same to me."

Shadler nodded in agreement.

"As long as you understand. I’ll accept this gift. Let’s go back."

Su Ming said to Shadler.

"Okay."

Shadler nodded and followed Su Ming toward the main palace.

Soon, the two of them returned to the grand hall.

The entire grand hall was still very lively, with people talking and laughing, a scene of happiness and harmony.

However, just at this moment, a girl with pale purple hair tied up, wearing a black uniform with a delicate golden Phoenix hairpin and a silver metal mask on her face, emerged from the left side of the grand hall and walked straight to the speaker’s platform.

Seeing this, people like Gakels and Farren stopped their conversations.

Under everyone’s gaze, the purple-haired girl walked to the center of the speaker’s platform.

The originally bustling grand hall gradually quieted down.

The Kings and Envoys from Neutral Countries present, puzzled, looked toward the purple-haired girl on the platform and whispered discussions.

"Who is she?"

"I don’t know."

...

Su Ming was slightly stunned upon seeing her, not expecting the Legion Commander to attend the annual conference and step onto the platform.

"Su Ming, who is that? Why is her presence so overwhelming?"

Shadler asked Su Ming curiously.

"My Legion Commander."

Su Ming whispered to Shadler.

At this moment, the purple-haired girl walked to the center of the speaker’s platform, bowed slightly to the crowd, and spoke calmly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the spokesperson for the Council Chairman. The Council Chairman has instructed me to speak and announce three major decisions."

Upon hearing the girl’s words, the numerous congressmen and commanders at the scene became very excited.

People like Farren also became exceptionally serious.

"I am now officially announcing three major decisions. The first decision: Starting today, the Federation will relax all military regiment regulations, allowing regiments to expand independently, and easing weapon allocation restrictions!"

The purple-haired girl officially announced the first matter.

"Great news!"

...

As soon as the words were spoken, Farren and others instantly showed extremely excited expressions. This was military expansion!

They have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Alicia, however, frowned tightly, sensing something was amiss.

Releasing troop control and expanding massively at this time, what’s the plan here?

"The second decision: From now on, the Federation Government officially opens Council seats, allowing all qualified Neutral Countries to join the Federation and become one of its members, under the protection of the Federation."

The purple-haired girl continued to announce.

These words were like a depth charge, instantly causing an uproar.

Many congressmen showed terrified expressions on their faces.

"Opening Council seats and allowing Neutral Countries to join? Did I hear correctly?"

"What a joke! Is this really an order from the Council Chairman?"

"I have no idea."

...

Farren and Alicia were also shocked, not expecting the purple-haired girl to announce such a decision.

As for Gakels, his expression remained very calm, with no fluctuations; he already knew about these decisions.

The Kings and representatives from Neutral Countries present were also stunned, though they then showed expressions of great joy.

The Federation was actually opening Council seats and allowing Neutral Countries to join — this was a huge blessing.

Su Ming listened to this decision and was also very shocked.

What’s the Federation planning?

This decision is not a joke — it could even cause an earthquake throughout the Federation, possibly the entire universe.

At this moment, Shadler was also looking at Su Ming in a daze.

"Su Ming, did I hear wrong? Is your Federation going crazy?"

"Don’t ask me, I don’t know either."

Su Ming replied as the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

At this time, the numerous congressmen at the scene recovered and strongly refuted.

"No, I don’t believe these are orders from the Council Chairman."

"I also don’t believe the Council Chairman would make such a decision. The Federation’s finances are already very tight, and pulling in one Neutral Country would greatly impact finances. Not to mention pulling in a bunch — this would be disastrous."
