421: Chapter 323: A Dilemma (Five in One)_6 421: Chapter 323: A Dilemma (Five in One)_6 Farren said angrily.
Upon hearing Farrenâs words, Gakels immediately flew into a rage and cursed directly.
âYouâre insane!
Youâre recalling the Immortal Legion, do you not care about Mist Star Sea anymore?â
âMia isnât leading a force out?â
âThatâs heading to the Abyss of Descent!â
âHave her change course toward Mist Star Sea to replace the garrison!
Just give me three months, I could wipe them all out!â Farren said fiercely.
âNo, absolutely not!
The forces of the Three Forbidden Zones are not to be touched.
Our geographical location is already awkward as it is, with all the bases located in the central region.
We need to face both the Imperial Army and Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, necessitating more than double the troops.
If you recall even one force, they would dare raid our bases.
If that happens, a millenniumâs worth of effort could be destroyed in an instant, surely youâre not foolish enough not to understand that?â Gakels rebuked furiously.
âFine, if you wonât let me recall the Immortal Legion, then send the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Legions stationed at Black Flame Star for support!â
âHave you lost your mind to hatred?
Those three legions are primarily defensive; they need Black Flame Starâs defensive lines to perform optimally and arenât good at offensive operations.
Are you planning to send them to their deaths?
And if anything happens to these three legions, who will defend Black Flame Star?
The Imperial Army could just march right in!â
âThen send the Eighth and Ninth Legions stationed at Moon Star!â Farren persisted.
âNo!
What will happen to the Tidal Star Sea Neutral Zone if you move them?â
Alicia strongly opposed this, knowing it would be disastrous for her side if they were moved.
âIsnât everything fine over there?
Heavenly Revelation Divine Country hasnât attacked.â
âThey havenât attacked now, but what about after you move the troops?â
âWhat are you all actually afraid of?â Farren retorted irritably.
âEnough, stop arguing!â Gakels shouted angrily.
âDo you think I like arguing?
This wonât work, that wonât work, then suggest a feasible plan for me!
The troops are currently encircled in the Neutral Country, are we just going to stand by and watch?â
Farren responded fearlessly.
âIsnât this discussing solutions?â
âDiscussing solutions?
We need troop support now, just tell me where else we have troops!â
âYouâŠ.â
Gakels was momentarily at a loss for words.
The Federation did have plenty of troops, but each force had its mission and responsibilities, making them impossible to move.
âGakels, Iâm tired of these useless days.
If you canât solve the problem, then please have the Council Chairman take care of it!â Farren laid his cards on the table with Gakels.
âYes, let the Council Chairman preside!â
âŠ
Several council members voiced their agreement.
Gakelsâ face paled; he hadnât expected matters to get dragged up to the Council Chairman, complicating things severely!
The Council Chairman was still in hibernation, and it was impossible to awake him.
If anything went wrong, it would truly be disastrous.
Thinking this, Gakels flatly refused.
âNo!â
âYou say no, and thatâs it?
Today we must see the Council Chairman; itâs about time he showed up!â
Farren snapped back furiously.
âYes, Lord Gakels!â
âLet the Council Chairman preside over the situation.â
âŠ
Many council members shouted in unison.
Gakels felt his heart sink, his expression becoming so sullen it could drip water, clearly losing control of the situation.
He took a deep breath and shouted at everyone.
âQuiet!â
The chaotic assembly hall gradually quieted down.
However, the expressions on everyoneâs face were extremely dissatisfied as they coldly looked towards Vice Chairman Gakels.
Seeing everyoneâs expressions, Gakels knew he wouldnât be able to dismiss the matter.
If he couldnât provide a satisfactory explanation, it could very well lead to major chaos.
Thinking this, Gakels clenched his teeth and spoke.
âLet us adjourn temporarily; I will consult the Council Chairman and we shall reconvene when I have an answer!â
âGood!
We will wait for you!â
Seeing Gakels finally relenting and agreeing to consult the Council Chairman, Farren and the others didnât push too hard.
Their main goal was not to trouble Gakels, but to have the Council Chairman preside over the situation.
âMeeting adjourned!â
With a wave of his hand, Gakels ended the meeting.

Federation Government Administrative Building · Sublevel 108
A special elevator rapidly descended.
Thump~
Accompanied by a slight tremor, the elevator reached the bottom floor, and the closed doors opened.
A cold, elongated metallic corridor came into view.
Every fifty meters along the corridor was a silver metallic gate.
In front of each gate stood two soldiers wearing black Third Generation Exoskeleton Armor.
Gakels walked out of the elevator with his hands behind his back.
The soldiers guarding the gates bowed and saluted Gakels, and the gates slowly rose.
Gakels walked unhindered into the interior.
Eventually, Gakels reached a closed black metallic door.
Just as he was about to touch the door, the ground beside him suddenly split open, and a platform slowly rose.
A girl wearing a silver metallic mask and with purple hair stood on the platform.
Gakels was startled and quickly stepped forward to ask.
âCouncil Chairman, have you awakened?â
âNo.â
The girl sighed and shook her head.
âWhy is this happening?
The waking day has already passed, why hasnât he awakened?â
âI donât know!â
âThis is really a problem.â
âWhat happened?â
âSigh!
The situation has spiraled out of control.
Farren, that reckless man, was defeated, and our troops are now encircled by the Imperial Army.
People are demanding to see the Council Chairman to take charge, and they canât be suppressed!â
Gakels spoke anxiously.
The girl listened silently for a few seconds before responding to Gakels.
âYou go back first.
I will give you an answer in three days.â
Gakels heard the girlâs words, wanted to say something but swallowed his words, and finally said.
âOkay, then I am depending on you; Iâm leaving!â
âTake care!â
The girl softly replied.
