Chapter 5 Supreme Council

The center of the continent, the place where human power is concentrated, and the largest and most solid city in the world - Yanjing.

Yanjing is the starting point of human civilization, and it is home to the highest authority in the world, the Supreme Council.

Unlike ordinary authorities, it does not perform the functions of a government agency, but it has the power to appoint and dismiss all existing urban authorities on the mainland.

In times of peace, this model of governance has only one result, and that is the disintegration of the whole country, but here the Supreme Council is composed entirely of the strongest people in the world.

Each Supreme Mighty is a nuclear-weapon-like existence, and at the same time, it is also the mainstay of blocking the invasion of super-large-scale demon tides.

The power of the Supreme Council is intricate, with the four major professional temples holding most of the power, and only about 10% of the power is controlled by a few major families on the mainland.

The four major professional temples are the largest forces on the continent, and as their name suggests, they are the Liwu Temple, the Fawu Temple, the Imperial Sect, and the Church of Light.

As for the most mysterious secret martial arts, due to their scarcity in number, they were absorbed and digested by several major forces, becoming the only profession that did not have a force.

The Supreme Council consists of hundreds of members and a Speaker, six Speakers and two Vice-Presidents.

Under normal circumstances, the Supreme Council is not activated unless there is a great crisis.

The powers of the Supreme Council are exercised by the 19 permanent members of the Council.

Saffle is the patriarch of the Sfalter Charles family and one of the nineteen permanent members.

Today he arrived early at the Supreme Council Center of Power - the Tower of Dawn.

Because today there is a very important topic that will be discussed in the Council.

This issue is none other than the crisis of the fall of Guhua City that happened a few days ago.

When he first heard about it, he almost thought it was some bastard who was joking and handed in the wrong information, knowing that the city had not happened since the Supreme Council was formed.

After confirming the authenticity of the information again, he pondered for a moment, and then became excited, because this represented the ownership of a city.

Although he knew very well that the belonging of this city would not have much to do with him, and several professional temples would not let go of this opportunity, it did not mean that his family would not be able to reap the benefits.

In addition to the Church of Light, the other three major professional temples are evenly matched in the Council, and the Church of Light does not care about these things outside of the body because of their personality, and they usually abstain.

So in this case, a neutral parliamentarian like him is particularly important. The vote he holds will play a key role at some point.

Sure enough, not long after he got this information, four invitations were sent to his study in no particular order......

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

Tidying up his clothes, Charles pushed open the door and walked into the conference room, where most of the members had already arrived.

Charles walked over to his place and sat down, and began to observe the shape of the room.

Looking around, the room was similar to what he had guessed, and the whole room was almost divided into four opposing forces.

The only thing that is a little different is that it seems that the position of the beautiful Miss Liu of the Church is a little ambiguous, is it ...... No, with the saintly character of the Church of Light, it is impossible to intervene in the dispute between the three major professional temples.

Just when Charles was puzzled, Liu Jibing, the chairman of the council and the elder of the Liwu Temple, knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention.

"We're pretty much all here, so let's get to today's topic. ”

As he spoke, he sent down a stack of papers that he had placed next to him.

"I won't say much nonsense, I believe you should know about the content of this document before the meeting. ”

"Now that the crisis in Guhua City has been lifted, Ye Ye's Sixteenth Army Corps is in charge of the defense now, and the First and Second Army Corps of Guhua City are almost completely wiped out, and they can no longer serve as the defense of Guhua City. ”

"Now our topic is the result of the handling of the First and Second Legions, after all, Ye Ye's legion can't defend all the time, he still has his mission, what do you think, let's talk about it. ”

As Liu Jibing's words fell, the entire conference room began to buzz and discuss.

At this moment, an extremely dissatisfied voice sounded: "What are you discussing? 400,000 people can't even defend a small Guhua City, and even two legions are completely wiped out, what are the two legion commanders doing, if you want me to say that they will be directly sent to the inquisition, maybe they are the spies of the demon clan among us." ”

Charles looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a middle-aged man with a somewhat pale face sitting there, with a rather disdainful expression on his face.

This person Charles is not familiar with, he is a permanent member of parliament who has just been put forward in recent days, but I heard that this person has something to do with the speaker.

"Councilor William, what you said is a bit excessive, everyone must have seen this information, and the reason in it is also known, I believe that it is impossible for you to do better than them, although the two legions are all wiped out, Liu Qiang He Ming has an unshirkable responsibility, but we can't deny the fact that they blocked the magic tide to avoid the fall of Guhua City. ”

As soon as William's words fell, Ye Long on the other side directly objected.

William squinted his eyes and glanced at Ye Long: "You are so protective of these two people, it's not that you have thoughts about the First and Second Legions." ”

Ye Long glared at him, his face was a little ugly: "You fart! I think you have an idea, the bones of 400,000 soldiers are not cold, you still want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, what do you mean!"

William stood up directly and looked at Ye Long: "I didn't deny the merits of the soldiers, what I said was that the two legion commanders must be punished! The Inquisition is their destination, and you tried so hard to exonerate them, didn't you receive any benefits!"

Ye Long slapped the table directly: "Wilting, do you want to fight!"

At this time, Speaker Hu Rundong glanced at the two of them: "What are you arguing about, this is a conference room, not a battlefield." ”

Ye Long glanced at William fiercely, snorted and turned his face away from speaking, William looked at Ye Long with a smile and then sat down slowly.

Liu Jibing knocked on the table and asked, "He Ming has already died, we don't need to say more, what should we do with Liu Qiang of the First Legion?" ”

Charles shook his head slightly, and was a little sympathetic to Liu Qiang's experience, seeing that Liu Qiang was directly convicted in this way, the speaker didn't even ask about it, and directly began to ask Liu Qiang about how to deal with it.

Ye Long also sighed, Liu boy, I can only do this for you, it seems that you are already in a catastrophe.

"I agree with Councillor William that someone must be responsible for the lives of 400,000 soldiers, and I agree to send Liu Qiang to the court. ”

"I also agree that Liu Qiang must be held responsible for this incident. ”

"I also agree, but for Liu Qiang's credit, the punishment can be reduced. ”

"Reconsideration!"

"Reconsideration. ”

"Reconsideration. ”

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

Liu Jibing looked at the voice of reconsideration below and nodded: "It seems that everyone has no opinion on Liu Qiang's handling, so it is not wrong to order the people in the court to arrest after the meeting, and we will ...... below."

"I disagree!"

Before Liu Jibing finished speaking, a voice of opposition suddenly came.

The conference room suddenly fell silent, and he looked incredulously at the source of the sound.

I saw Elder Fawu (Harmony Divine Beast Haunting) Hu Rundong drinking tea slowly, calmly looking at his gaze.

"I don't agree with the plan for dealing with Liu Qiangdong. ”

Liu Jibing also looked at Hu Rundong, who was opposed, with some surprise, looked at him with a frown and said, "What does Councilor Hu mean?"

Hu Rundong took a sip of tea and picked up the document on the table: "The document is very clear, the First Army successfully blocked the attack of the Demon Tide and changed its guard during the rest period. However, the Second Legion was wiped out, and the First Legion established a second line of defense to hold back the tide and retake the walls and hold out until reinforcements arrived. ”

"Let me ask you, which of you can do it in that situation!"

Liu Jibing squinted at Hu Rundong and didn't know what he was thinking, and said after a long time: "With the meaning of Councilor Hu, we should reward Liu Qiang, are you sure you are not joking, let me remind you, although Guhua City is not big, it is a city after all, Councilor Hu should think about it clearly." ”

Hu Rundong raised his eyelids, looked at Liu Jibing with a smile and said, "I thought about it very clearly, thank you Speaker Liu for the reminder, but I don't plan to change my opinion." ”

Liu Jibing frowned and knocked lightly on the table, and seemed to feel a little puzzled in his heart, what kind of medicine is sold in the bowl of Hu Rundong, the old fox?

It is impossible for him not to know the value of a city, even if he wants to keep Liu Qiang, it is impossible, and it is impossible to overturn his decision with the number of votes in his hand alone.

And once he raised this objection, then the subsequent distribution of benefits had nothing to do with him, what did he want?

Liu Jibing, who had thought for a long time and didn't have any thoughts, didn't think about it, but took a deep look at Hu Rundong, who was very calm, turned his head to everyone and said: "Since there are some different opinions, then the old way, let's raise our hands to vote and agree to deal with Liu Qiang's raise of hands." ”

As Liu Jibing's words fell, half of the people in the conference room raised their hands.

Looking at the people voting in the conference room, Liu Jibing looked at Hu Rundong who was sitting in his seat with some surprise.

"If you agree to reward Liu Qiang, please raise your hand. ”

Hu Rundong's hand drinking tea paused, glanced at Liu Jibing without speaking, and raised his hand silently.

And as Hu Rundong raised his hand, the people on his side also raised their hands sparsely.

Liu Jibing smiled and said: "Now the form is obvious, and the people who agree to deal with Liu Qiang account for the vast majority, so ......"

"Wait!"

Just as Liu Jibing was about to announce the results, a cold voice sounded from across from him.

Hearing this voice, Liu Jibing's pupils shrank, and he looked at Nolan who was sitting opposite him in disbelief.

Normally, the people of the Church of Light would not hesitate to abstain when they encountered such a situation, but Nolan stopped himself now. Don't.........
