"You!"

Chen Xinjie's eyes widened in anger, his gaze fixed on Dong Zi'an to the side, but he was clearly outmatched in terms of presence.

"Just a moment ago, Chen Xinjie was clearly in the lead, but unexpectedly, the situation has completely reversed in the blink of an eye..."

Looking at the scene before him, Yue Zhengen, the commander of the Southern Legion and the current patriarch of the Angel Family, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Fifteen minutes ago.

Important Federation congressmen and military regimental commanders, clad in their Sun Moon Great Banner, entered the solemn and dignified meeting room.

Everyone here holds a significant position in the outside world, yet at this moment, they all wear calm expressions, their eyes constantly gleaming.

This meeting is the most important Federation Appointment Conference in the Federation, and it is enough to determine the future situation of the Federation and their status.

"Old Dong, as we agreed before, I will remain the Second Legion Commander Federation Army Corps."

Yu Guanzhi brushed past Dong Zi'an and secretly communicated with him.

"Don't worry, the second-place position will always be yours."

A deeper meaning flickered in Dong Zi'an's eyes, and he silently responded.

"Good brother, always in my heart!" Having received the answer he wanted, Yu Guanzhi's lips curled up slightly, and he stepped into the meeting room first.

This was what they had agreed upon: he would provide Dong Zi'an's Western Legion with resources, Dong Zi'an would not take his place.

Although it's unclear why Dong Zi'an has suddenly stopped competing, it's actually a good thing for him.

"Yu Guanzhi... I'm not here to compete with you for second place. What I've always wanted is the position of head of the military..."

Watching Yu Guanzhi's retreating figure, Dong Zi'an made a resolute decision in his heart before stepping into the meeting room.

Chen Xinjie must step down today!

Soon, as the important members of the meeting took their seats, Pan Wen, who had visited the Star Luo Empire a few years ago, stood up and stood in front of the conference table.

After several years of hard work, he has now been successfully elected as the Speaker of the Federal Parliament!

Although the Federation's major military forces are in the hands of the commanders of the various legions, the Speaker still holds an important position, especially at today's Federation Appointment Conference.

"Thank you all for coming. Let's not waste any more time on pleasantries. Today is still the triennial Federation Appointment Conference. Before dawn, we will finalize the changes to the parliament."

Pan Wen's gaze swept over the crowd, a warm smile on his face, and he spoke loudly.

Although the Federation government tells the people that the meeting will be held during the day, they always discuss everything in advance at each Federation Appointment Conference to achieve a power division that satisfies all parties before presenting it to the Federation government.

Seeing that no one had any questions, Pan Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had only recently taken office as speaker and was very afraid that something might go wrong at such an important meeting.

Immediately, Pan Wen continued:

"Then let's follow convention and start with the military's positions."

"First and foremost, our military leadership will remain with Commander Chen Xinjie, the commander of our Sea God Legion."

As Pan Wen finished speaking, Chen Xinjie, who was sitting at the front right, slowly stood up, preparing to receive the badge representing the military leader.

He knew that in such an urgent situation as the Abyssal Passage, no one could do without him, the military leader!

Not to mention, within the entire Federation, no one else has the qualifications to sit in the position of leader.

Thinking of this, a hint of satisfaction appeared in Chen Xinjie's eyes.

Indeed, the affairs of the world are in his hands!

But just as he was about to receive the Head Leader Badge, a majestic voice suddenly rang out.

"Wait!"

The entire conference room fell silent at the sound of the voice, and Chen Xinjie's face showed a hint of anger as he looked in the direction of the voice.

Dong Zi'an slowly raised his eyes to meet Chen Xinjie's gaze and said calmly:

"Chen Xinjie, don't you feel like that badge is burning your hand? Do you even deserve to hold this badge after what you've done?"

"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, Yue Zhengen's expression changed slightly.

He didn't expect that Dong Zi'an would confront Chen Xinjie right away, and stop pretending.

"Oh? According to you, Dong Zi'an, I am not qualified to pick up this badge?" Chen Xinjie's eyes flashed with coldness as he said in a deep voice.

"Of course you don't." Dong Zi'an said calmly and decisively.

"You have long lost your faith as the commander of the Federation Legion. You have taken resources from the Federal Treasury without authorization and lined your own pockets. You have also used your position in the Federation to seek personal gain more than once. Do you think you are worthy to hold this badge again?"

"Presumptuous!"

A flash of anger appeared in Chen Xinjie's eyes, and he hissed, "While I Guardian the Federation, you were still struggling somewhere. Do you think you're qualified to lecture me?"

"You, a mere commoner, dare to swagger around here?!"

After dedicating so many years to the Federation, isn't it only natural that he would use some resources from the Federal Treasury to treat his loved one?

"This is not your excuse." Dong Zi'an's expression grew increasingly grim. "These resources belong to the Federation, to hundreds of millions of Federation citizens!"

"These resources are for the soldiers at the front, for those who have rendered meritorious service, but absolutely not for you Chen Xinjie, to squander!"

"Chen Xinjie, you're right. You did indeed Guardian the Federation before me, and I am indeed of commoner origin."

Dong Zi'an said, enunciating each word clearly, "But from the moment I stepped into the Western Legion, I engraved the responsibility of Guardian the Federation into my very bones!"

"I have risen from a soldier to where I am today not through the arbitrariness of power, but through blood and sweat at every step. Every achievement I have made is worthy of being engraved on a monument, and to this day, I have never forgotten my original aspiration."

"And you? Born into a powerful and illustrious Sea God Family, yet you still embezzle Federation resources. How dare you say such a thing?"

As Dong Zi'an finished speaking, the surrounding Federal Councilor and legion commanders stared at Dong Zi'an in disbelief.

Is this the military's third attempt to directly challenge the military's number one position?

Yu Guanzhi was completely dumbfounded.

No, nobody told him that's not how the script was written!

"You bastard!" Chen Xinjie's face flushed red as he glared at Dong Zi'an and shouted angrily.

It wasn't that nobody knew he was taking Federation resources, but no one dared to say it to his face!

"So you're getting angry already?" Dong Zi'an's lips curled into a sneer. "If you want to save face, you should confess your guilt!"

"Very good! Very good!" Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie grabbed the Head Leader Badge from the box, clutched it tightly, and showed it to Dong Zi'an:

"See that? Today, I'm taking the top spot in the military. I said it!"

"You think you're worthy to make me leave?"

"Then let's give it a try." A fierce glint appeared in Dong Zi'an's eyes, and a smirk appeared on his lips, instantly spreading an aura of carnage and bloodshed!

"Stop! Calm down! Calm down!"

Sensing this aura, Pan Wen immediately stepped forward and said, "Since Commander Dong has doubts, then we will proceed with the Federation solution and hold a vote by the legislators."

"Then let's have a vote by councilors. I just don't know if Dong Zi'an dares to do it?" Chen Xinjie said coldly.

"Then let's go." A glint of shrewdness flashed in Dong Zi'an's eyes as he spoke slowly.

His apprentice, Jiang Xiu, had told him beforehand that today would be an excellent opportunity to remove Chen Xinjie, and all he had to do was to see which legislators were on Chen Xinjie's side beforehand.

Soon, lawmakers who agreed to appoint Chen Xinjie as the head of the military cast their votes.

Looking at these people, Dong Zi'an wrote them all down in his mental notebook.

The voting results came out quickly.

Of the 45 votes cast, excluding abstentions, a full 28 votes were in favor of Chen Xinjie continuing as the head of the military.

Many of the Federal Councilor are alumni of the Shrek Academy, and they are well aware of Chen Xinjie's relationship with the Shrek Academy, so they would naturally agree to Chen Xinjie continuing to serve as the head of the military.

After all, Chen Xinjie was truly devoted to Long Yeyue, the Elder of the Shrek Academy; he was practically ready to give Shrek Academy the Federation's God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell...

"Dong Zi'an, do you see that? When it comes to being elected, it's not just about ability, but also about having influence!"

Looking at the scene before him, Chen Xinjie waved the Head Leader Badge in his hand and secretly transmitted a sarcastic message.

After saying that, Chen Xinjie continued to sit in the head's seat with an air of nonchalance.

Dong Zi'an watched quietly.

Yu Guanzhi sighed. He didn't know why Dong Zi'an was so brave today. Who gave Dong Zi'an the courage?

Yue Zhengen and Shen Yue, the commander of the North Sea Legion, were also somewhat puzzled.

But just then, there was a rapid knocking on the meeting room door.

To ease the tense atmosphere, Pan Wen immediately ordered someone to open the conference room door.

After all, in his view, there was nothing worse than two legion commanders facing off.

As the conference room door opened, a messenger walked in with an extremely nervous expression.

"Speaker, esteemed legion commanders, something terrible has happened!"

"The Federation's most secure District 13 has been robbed! Both God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell stored inside have vanished!"

Upon hearing this, Pan Wen felt as if the sky had fallen. He never imagined that there could be anything worse than Dong Zi'an and Chen Xinjie clashing.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, his voice tinged with urgency:

"Have you found those two God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell yet?"

He knew very well that taking some of the Federation's resources was no problem, but if he lost this God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell that had taken the Federation a thousand years to develop, then he would have made a huge mistake!

Faced with Chen Xinjie's probing questions, the messenger stammered, "Actually, you don't need to worry. To put it another way, this matter has already been resolved..."

"So you've found it?!" Chen Xinjie paused for a moment, then exclaimed with delight.

"No, they exploded..."

The messenger shook his head.

Chen Xinjie's heart, which had just begun to relax, instantly plummeted to the bottom, but he quickly realized something:

"Did these two God-Slayer Class Fixed Soul Guidance Shell explode in the field, without any casualties?"

"No, they exploded in Shrek City, the most densely populated area," the messenger said, his throat tightening.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xinjie felt a wave of darkness wash over him.
