"..."

Ed's expression was complicated; the screams from the palace were growing fainter.

"These otherworldly creatures are too cruel..."

“That’s why the other world needs to be ruled by the Mother Goddess,” Eva interjected.

The screams gradually faded away, and Jinmian stood up again, resolutely walking into the sea of ​​fire.

"You're going to betray us?"

As they brushed past the astrologer, the man with the golden mask spoke coldly.

"The strong can make their own choices, and you can't stop me."

The man with the golden mask paused, but did not turn back.

Section 732, Chapter 731: The Suppression

Shingo Fukai had just returned to the Federation when he received news that Speaker Edward had committed suicide by shooting himself.

Without a moment's rest, Shingo immediately rushed to Edward's office.

Gulian and Fielding were also there. As soon as they entered, Shingo frowned and asked, "When did this happen? Was it suicide or...?"

"What happened this morning was indeed a suicide."

Gulian shook her head: "The fall of the Holy King Church and Queen Isabella's self-immolation were too much of a blow to Edward."

"..."

"Why bother."

Shingo sighed: "Although we have lost power, if we behave ourselves, we can still enjoy our old age in peace."

“The Speaker is right.”

Gulian nodded solemnly, while Fielding remained silent.

"speaker?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. The Federation is in dire straits and needs a strong figure like you to lead us out of this predicament!"

There's no reason to refuse. Even if Gulian hadn't said anything, Shingo would definitely have taken the position of Speaker.

"What about Sect Master Feng and Elder Su...?"

After a moment of silence, Shingo spoke up: "I didn't say anything before because they didn't express their opinion, but we can't continue like this now."

"Neither resisting nor cooperating, could it be that those two are dissatisfied?" Shingo revealed a half-smile.

Both of these super-strong individuals have deep roots in the Federation, but in Shingo's eyes, they're nothing special.

If they still can't see the situation clearly, making two super strong individuals disappear from the face of the earth wouldn't be too difficult.

“We have no objections, Your Excellency. Sect Master Feng and Elder Su are willing to serve you!” Fielding, who had been silent all along, quickly spoke up.

"Okay, that's good."

Shingo nodded: "There's something I need them to do."

..........................................

At the Military Academy, Augustus paced back and forth in his office.

The man frowned, unable to make up his mind for a long time.

Ninomiya Sui organized a group of people who wanted to escape abroad to continue their struggle against the esoteric sects.

She kept trying to persuade Augustus to join, but Augustus never gave a direct answer.

"I need to think about it some more."

I kept using similar excuses to delay, and before I knew it, the final day had arrived.

'Ninomiya is leaving today, should I go with him?'

"teacher!"

The office door was suddenly kicked open, and Augustus jumped in fright.

"Hehe, what are you doing? Why do you look so guilty?" Yu Zi walked in with a smile.

"Don't kick the door next time, you've already broken it..."

"I'll pay you back when I have the money."

Looking at his cheap master, Yu Zi's expression turned serious: "Teacher, I've noticed you've been distracted lately. Have you encountered something difficult to decide?"

"Hmm, is it obvious?"

"It's obvious"

Yu Zi nodded: "You haven't taught me all your skills yet, don't go and throw your life away so easily."

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

"That woman, Ninomiya Sui, is courting death. Does she really think she can escape the Federation?"

Augustus's expression changed instantly, and he quickly closed the door: "Yu Zi, where did you get this information?"

“I’ve been doing a lot of work for Matthew lately, and he seems to think highly of me.”

"When we chatted last time, he unintentionally... well, he probably intentionally revealed it to me."

"Matthew?"

"Hmm, a cult bishop, I heard he's got quite a background."

"You've joined a secret cult?"

"Is there a problem?" Yuko asked in return.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Augustus gave a bitter smile.

Of course, no problem! Things are different now!

Tantric Buddhism is practically becoming the state religion of the federation, so what problems could there be?

"Teacher, I also need to think about myself, right? If you really lose your mind and want to go and die, I'll have to find someone else to rely on."

Yu Zi scratched her head: "Of course, compared to the eccentric Matthew, I feel I get along much better with you, teacher."

"So, can you please not go and get yourself killed?"

"..."

"What's there to be conflicted about!"

Seeing that Augustus remained silent, Yuko grew anxious.

"Military Unification Academy!"

“The strong are respected…” Augustus was stunned after answering naturally.

"That's right, the strong are respected!"

Yuko asked earnestly, "Who is the strongest now?"

"...Yuko, if I inform Ninomiya now, will you be in trouble?"

"Are you still going or not?" Yu Zi pressed.

Augustus sighed deeply and slumped back into his office chair.

"It's good that you've figured it out. You can make any calls you want, anyway..."

Yu Zi shrugged: "A phone call won't change those guys' fate."

..................................................

"CEO, is there still no news from Augustus?"

"He hasn't contacted me; he must have decided to stay in the Federation."

"Hmph, people like him who respect the strong are not like us."

"Is everyone here?" Ninomiya Sui stopped the complaints below.

"Only 29 out of 47 people showed up."

A man wearing thick-rimmed glasses said in a deep voice, "CEO, we must evacuate immediately. We cannot rule out the possibility that someone might leak our intelligence."

Ninomiya Sui's expression tightened as she realized that a person with a sensitive identity was not present today.

'Ah Chun isn't the type to go back on his word, and he would never leak information to Councilor Gulian.'

'He didn't come today; he must be being held captive!'

Realizing instantly that they had been exposed, and not having time to answer her constantly vibrating phone, Ninomiya Sui immediately said, "Let's go now, quick!"

The group ran quickly out of the abandoned meat processing plant, only to find a man and a woman blocking their way.

"..."

"Even you have succumbed to Tantric Buddhism?"

Ninomiya Sui showed no fear on her face, but her tone revealed an indescribable regret and resentment.

"Speaker Shingo has given the order."

"Ninomiya Sui and her entourage were executed on the spot for treason."

..........................................

As the fighting in Sain gradually subsided, and after Isabel's self-immolation, the west was the first to stabilize.

The Griffin family in the east is still holding out, but after Carmen volunteered to lead the returning skeleton army to suppress them, it seems that this ancient family will soon become history.

The central royal family was utterly crippled, and the north suffered terribly from the invasion of chaos.

A few nobles were still putting up resistance, but the Duke of Yog had undoubtedly won.
