Chapter 1886 - 576: The Tower Collapsing (Part 2)

All around the Light Confusion Planet Fortress, there are densely packed Crystal Origin Fortresses, Light Annihilation Sky Weapons, numerous defense ships, and countless Mecha units.

This line of defense is the Federation’s rear fourth defense line, also the earliest defense line.

However, usually, this defense line seldom has anyone coming because from here, whether going to the Three Forbidden Zones, Saint Qiao, Apocalypse, or Dark Star, requires taking a long detour.

But at this moment, the entire defense line is crammed with refugee transport ships, exploration mother ships, battleships.

Inside the central command room of the Light Confusion Fortress.

A series of communication requests are coming in, continuously arguing with the officers of the defense line.

"Let us out quickly!"

"Mine is an exploration ship, I have exploration documents!"

"I’ve spoken with Antedo, just let us out!"

"I’m really going to the front line to retrieve supplies, those supplies are hidden in the rear planets."

....

"Sorry, currently under war-time control, Federation Government and Council have ordered, no one is allowed to pass!"

"I don’t care, we want out!"

"The current situation clearly can’t be won, you want to die, we don’t want to die!"

"We are keeping the Sparks of life for the continuity of human civilization, and when the war is won, we will definitely come back!"

....

At this moment, an old man with a face full of wrinkles, wearing a General Uniform, with a white Beard, staring sharply at those wanting to flee was looking extremely grim.

The Federation defense line hasn’t even collapsed yet, the soldiers are still fighting bravely, and they’re already eager to escape.

"Lord Sailuan, what should we do now? There are too many refugee ships, it’s getting hard to control."

At this point, a woman wearing a Junior General Uniform, with short flax-colored hair, wearing glasses, spoke anxiously.

"Who dares to break through, sink them for me!"

Sailuan suddenly slapped the armrest fiercely, angrily said to Vice Officer Qin Yin.

"Lord Sailuan calm down, doing so will cause problems, those escaping are either rich or noble, if we sink them, the Federation will turn chaotic!"

Qin Yin quickly advised.

Upon hearing Qin Yin’s words, Sailuan tried hard to suppress his inner rage, grittingly said.

"Notify the Council, ask them what to do."

"Yes!"

Qin Yin immediately responded.

...

Federation Administrative Building·Dawn Hall.

Many members of the council were watching real-time combat images, all feeling uneasy, constantly discussing.

"Fighting like this isn’t going to work."

"Coping for a while can’t cope forever!"

...

At this time, a communication request popped up.

Everyone turned their attention to the communication request, also momentarily stunned.

Due to Long Bai’s absence, no one picked it up.

At this moment, Alisia Vice Speaker stepped onto the stage, raised her hand to pick up the communication.

Qin Yin’s communication image appeared.

"Lady Alisia!"

Qin Yin respectfully greeted.

"What’s the matter?"

Seeing it was from the Starlight Defense Line, Alisia asked solemnly.

"It’s like this, a large number of ships are gathering at the Starlight Defense Line, intending to break through the ban to leave the Federation to seek refuge, what should we do now?"

Qin Yin promptly reported.

The members of the council on site immediately exploded upon hearing that.

Long Lan said angrily.

"The Federation isn’t collapsed yet, and they’re already thinking about escaping, a bunch of fair-weather friends!"

"This is outrageous! These people are simply cowards!"

...

The council members also angrily criticized.

At this moment, Senior Member Bai Kedi coughed once, stood up and spoke.

"Actually, we can’t entirely blame them, as the saying goes, eggs shouldn’t be placed in one basket, they’re just taking precautions to keep the Sparks of humanity, the intention is good."

"Right, I agree with Member Bai Kedi, can’t just dismiss them entirely!"

"The current situation indeed isn’t very good, letting them out temporarily is okay as well."

...

Many members of the council echoed this sentiment.

They had their private reasons for speaking up; on one hand, it laid the groundwork for their own future withdrawal, and on the other hand, many of their relatives were on the refugee ships.

City Lord Alicia looked at this scene, spoke coldly.

"Are you speaking for them because you have people among them?"

"No, absolutely not, we’re doing this for the good of the Federation!"

Many council members hurriedly responded.

"Lady Alicia, you can’t say that, we’re just being realistic." Bai Kedi defended by biting the bullet.

This time, Qin Yin’s projection hurriedly said.

"Everyone, the situation is evolving towards losing control, please make a decision quickly, otherwise if they charge the checkpoints, we’ll have no choice but to fire."

"We can’t fire, where is Lord Long Bai?"

"Don’t know, just left recently, hasn’t returned yet."

...

Senior Member Bai Kedi and others became anxious, looking everywhere for Long Bai.

At this moment, Long Bai walked directly in from the side door.

Seeing Long Bai, everyone became overjoyed and said.

"Lord Long Bai, you’re here!"

"What’s happening?"

Long Bai looked at the chaotic council, coldly asked.

Alicia coldly reported to Long Bai.

"A large number of people have taken ships to the rear Starlight Defense Line, wanting to flee from there. They’ve been stopped by the defense line and are causing an uproar to charge the checkpoint!"

Long Bai listened to Alicia’s words, his purple eyes grew increasingly cold, then replied sternly.

"Since they want to go, let them go!"

Alicia and Long Lan were stunned hearing Long Bai’s words.

Many members of the council changed their expressions, standing up to speak.

"Lord Long Bai, we can’t let them leave!"
