There are a total of five landmasses in the top layer of the floating island.

Each of the five lands has a principal, who is also the titular guardian.

Like Babylon and Gybril, they are the masters of Babylon's Tower of Babel and the Great Library of Gypril, respectively. In addition, the Black and White Sanctuary and the Floating Sacred Academy also have their own guardians.

But what is really special is the floating chamber.

Although the senators are elected by election, there is actually a president of the general council, who has the overall power to decide on all matters in the chamber and to appoint, dismiss, and remove all senators. However, the president of the general senate has not been seen for nearly five hundred years, so many of the new generation of floating islanders have long forgotten the existence of this general senator - some people may remember, but they don't take it very seriously.

At this time, in the lobby of the conference hall, all 122 senators were present on the stepped circular seats.

In the chamber, there is no hierarchy of senators, everyone is an equal status - of course, personal influence and charisma, which is not something that status can control. The one hundred and twenty-two people in this chamber belong to six different factions, and according to the differences in the core ideas and codes of conduct of the factions, these factions also have political enemies, alliances, and other interests - which on the face of it seem to be no different from the territorial boundary.

Of course, unlike the situation in the Earth Realm that has really experienced a bloody and cruel baptism, these political factions on the Floating Island have no idea or concept of "conspiracy" at all.

Even the two factions, which are already at odds with each other, don't know what assassination or framing is, and at most they do some farce like children playing with each other, such as mocking each other.

Today, though. The atmosphere in the conference hall seemed to be a little different.

Inside the stepped ring field. All the senators were silent, because the news from the front was not very pleasant.

All small floating islands in the lowest layer of the sequence. They all fell into a difficult state of stalemate, especially the war on the Qiufeng Plain.

Somya, who had already formed a comprehensive suppression and was about to reap the fruits of victory, was actually ambushed in a general battle, and the command of the entire army was sniped, resulting in a large-scale rout. Although it was not yet completely annihilated, it was basically unable to control the situation on the Qiufeng Plain again - this kind of war was the real battle that turned the tide.

And then, the Qiufeng Plain, which was originally under control, was also conquered by Budales within two days.

Somya could only retreat to the defensive base built with the teleportation array as the core. In this way, they fended off the attack of Budales. However, even if the geographical advantage was occupied, the defensive battle was fought extremely hard after all, and this situation was maintained with continuous reinforcements. And now, all the senators in the chamber are also clearly aware of the fact: if they give up continuing to increase the troops, they are afraid that the Qiufeng Plain will soon fall.

At that time, the other eight lower-level floating islands in the surrounding area, with the Qiufeng Plain as the relay point, will be completely disconnected.

Among them is the Qingyuan land, which is now returning to another bad news - this is located in the lowest layer of the entire floating island, the closest piece of land to the land boundary, and the only passage from the floating island to the land boundary. It's just that after the previous big failure. This passage was sealed, and it was supposed to be reopened when Levi and Alyssa went to the Realm before, but the two of them were thrown directly to the Realm by Gypril, so in fact this passage was not opened.

But this thing. Only the 122 members in the chamber knew about it, and the rest of the Floating Islanders didn't know about the secrets.

"It's obvious now." A middle-aged man wearing a fuchsia flame badge on his chest suddenly spoke. His voice broke the silence of the entire council chamber and slightly dispelled the lingering silence. Dablies and Locke are not dead, though it is unclear what happened to them in the years they were missing. But there is no doubt that they have betrayed us. ”

"It's useless to say that, the key now is to find out what they want to do." On the other side, a middle-aged man with a green leaf mark on his chest spoke, "What is clear now is that this qiē must be a trick of Budales. And his appearance in the Autumn Maple Plains, and such a tough offensive posture, is obviously aimed at cutting off our connection with the rest of the lower lands. ”

Although each of the twenty-four floating islands located in the lowest layer of the floating island has a teleportation array, it is actually impossible to teleport over long distances, and can only teleport two or three landmasses apart. However, even so, in fact, there are three central teleportation points stored in the land of these floating islands as relay points, and these three central points are the three floating islands closest to the third layer.

One of them is the floating island called "Autumn Maple Plains".

When teleporting, all the surrounding floating islands with the Autumn Maple Plains as the relay point must eventually converge to the Autumn Maple Plains, and then they can enter the floating islands of the third layer through the Autumn Maple Plains. Therefore, once the Qiufeng Plain is captured, then it means that the Floating Island will lose the entire area, and it will not be easy to counterattack and take back these areas at that time.

"Now that everyone is clear, what else is there to say?" Another senator spoke, wearing a grayish-brown badge with a sign that resembled a withered vine, "I think we should continue to send heavy troops to reinforce the Autumn Maple Plains." …… In any case, the battle in the Autumn Maple Plain must also be stabilized, and the teleportation array base in the Autumn Maple Plain must not be taken away. ”

"I'm against it." As soon as the senator finished speaking, one of them spoke directly.

His voice was deep, revealing a murderous aura, and his voice was like a cold winter wind. In an instant, the temperature in the entire council hall became cold.

It was a man wearing a black mask.

The mask only covered the top half of his face, revealing lips that were slightly thinner. The appearance of pursing his mouth is particularly fierce.

Slightly different from the outfit worn by the other senators, the man was wearing a black outfit. Even the cape is dark black. And all the senators sitting near him were all dressed in dark black, giving people the feeling of a bottomless abyss. And their badge was just a blood-red badge, and nothing else.

Darkblood.

One of the six major factions in the chamber, it occupies a very heavy voice in the chamber. Although there are not many members of the faction, this does not mean that the faction is weak, but it is a bit strong, because senators who want to join this faction must have a certain amount of personal strength. They must also have been the captain of the Academy's combat training team, and have at least five or more records of ensuring the safe return of all members from the Black and White Holy Land.

It is these elite standards that make the Dark Blood faction the smallest in number, but it has a strong voice and influence.

And the man who didn't seem to be very old was the current leader of this faction.

"What do you mean, Jarad?" The middle-aged man who had said that he wanted to reinforce the Autumn Maple Plains frowned and asked, "Do you want us to abandon the Autumn Maple Plains and the floating islands?" …… When did the Dark Blood become so cowardly! ”

The young man named Galad glanced sideways at the middle-aged man, and the cold look in his eyes made him shiver involuntarily, although there was a little more fear in his eyes. But he still held his head high and tried to make a fearless appearance. However, the rest of the chamber didn't pay much attention to the man's reaction and appearance, because it was already a well-known fact that the two factions of the withered vine and the dark blood were not in harmony with each other.

Withered vine pie. As one of the six factions in the council chamber, the number of members is not the largest, but it is not the smallest either. If we were to sort by number, perhaps the Withered Vine faction would be ranked third. It's just in terms of influence. The Withered Vine faction can be said to be the lowest, even if it is occasionally able to put forward one or two very constructive and practical suggestions. It also tends to be delayed for a long time before it can be passed.

The reason is very simple, the core idea of the withered vine faction is the tactic of shrinking, advocating a harmonious mentality of no fighting, no fighting, and no seizure.

This time, the fact that he fully supported the war strategy of the Dark Blood faction was already unbelievable to many people - in fact, the strategy of an all-out attack on the Floating Island was originally proposed by the Dark Blood faction, but it was not understood during the first vote, and it was precisely because of this that the incident of the complete occupation of the lower Floating Island occurred. It was only at this point that the council hall realized the seriousness of the issue, and began a second emergency meeting.

As a result, it was the Darkblood Faction that obtained the support of the Withered Vine, Purple Fire, and Orlan Knights to obtain this sortie.

But unexpectedly, the result was still very imperfect - if it weren't for the appearance of Budales and Locke, maybe all the lower floating islands should have been recovered by now. However, at this moment, the Withered Vine Faction actually continued to insist on the option of attacking, which was indeed once again beyond everyone's expectations - it was a pity that the Withered Vine Faction's approach and the Dark Blood Faction's conception and assumption had gone against each other.

"I think we need to change our tactics." Ignoring the withered vine sect, Jarad continued to say in a deep voice, "On the premise of ensuring that the Qiufeng Plain will not be captured, a large-scale reinforcement of the Qingyuan land will be carried out. …… We must deal with the danger from Locke as soon as possible, and then use the Qingyuan land as a counterattack base to counterattack upwards until we meet up with Somya in the Autumn Maple Plain. ”

As Galad's words fell, people from many surrounding factions also began to whisper and discuss. It's just that because the number of people present is slightly larger, the whispering gradually becomes a little noisy.

"Foolish dreams!" As the voice became a little noisy, the people of the Withered Vine Sect also had to raise their voices and speak, "The current situation in the Autumn Maple Plain, how long do you think Somya can hold on?" …… Now the situation is that Somya simply can't hold out for too long, and ...... If I'm not mistaken, Lord Garlad, you didn't seem to have as many tactical points as Somya, did you? ”

"It's true that I'm not as good as Somya, but have you forgotten that the tactics course is a comprehensive course. Is there a detailed distinction inside? Galad asked rhetorically, "Oh." Sorry, I forgot...... His Excellency Pace almost didn't graduate that year. But it's thanks to someone like you that you can become a senator. And the leader of a faction, which is ironic. ”

"This proves that I am talented in other ways!" The middle-aged man from the Withered Vine Sect shouted with a blushing face, and he saw that the other members of the Widen Sect all lowered their heads slightly, which made his face even more ugly, "Galad, I doubt your intentions!" If the Autumn Maple Plain were to fall, had you ever wondered what kind of situation the other floating islands located with the Autumn Maple Plains as the central point would fall into? What will happen to those who fight on these floating islands!? ”

"I've thought about it." Jallard said lightly. "It's because I've thought about it that I think it's better to deal with Locke first. …… And most importantly, Levi and Alyssa have returned, but according to the intelligence, they appear to be in a coma right now, and I think it's imperative that we bring them back and treat them first. …… As long as the two of them wake up, then the war will be in our favor. ”

Hearing Galad's words, the noise in the council chamber was noticeably louder.

There is a very obvious fault line in the strength realm level of the Floating Island, that is, there are not too many legendary powerhouses located above the mainland of the Floating Island. The highest level of strength is also the high-ranking Sacred Domain powerhouses like Levi and Alyssa. Because people who can become legendary powerhouses are not too happy to be entangled in trivial matters, they will basically go out to find opportunities to break through to a higher realm. After all, after feeling the glory of power and the different perceptions of the world, few people are willing to stop there.

And the floating island happens to have a unique place - the black and white holy land. Therefore, almost all the truly strong people who have become legendary powerhouses will go to different planes through the Guò Black and White Holy Land to exercise, or even open up new planes. In the process. Some of them have unfortunately fallen, and some have successfully broken through to a higher realm. Of course, it is more often that there is no contact with the floating library altogether.

Regardless of the outcome, float above the Great Library. There is no doubt that the person with the highest strength realm in the current world is the powerhouse of the upper holy realm. As for the top powerhouses like Gibril and Babylon, who are called guardians, it is naturally impossible for them to appear in front of people at will - but in recent decades, more and more legendary powerhouses have returned from the Black and White Holy Land and settled in Babylon's Babel Magic Tower, which is why Babylon's Babel Magic Tower has gradually become a family.

From this point, you can see the tension between the Council Chamber and the Babylonian Tower of Babel.

Obviously, the rebels who made the rebellion this time are known to be the strongest at the moment is Locke, but no one in the council hall thought of going to the legendary powerhouse in the Babel Magic Tower, but would rather waste time arguing here.

"I'm against it!" It was still the middle-aged man from the Withered Vine Sect who was shouting.

But this time, I don't know for what reason, after the middle-aged man spoke, two more people spoke out against it one after another. These two people are none other than the leaders of the Purple Fire Sect and the Orlan Knight Sect who had supported Garad before, and basically since the leader of the faction has spoken, the will of the entire faction has basically been affirmed.

As the three factions that once supported the Dark Blood Faction to start a war all have opposing opinions, then the other two factions that have always opposed the Dark Blood Faction's attack are naturally impossible to support.

Jarad looked at the five leaders of their respective factions who had already made their voting attitudes clear in front of him, and his eyes became unusually cold.

"Since the resolution to support the Qingyuan Land in the first place has been opposed, I don't know what you think about the decision to support the Qiufeng Plain with heavy troops?" It was still the middle-aged man from the Withered Vine Sect who spoke, he seemed to be extremely energetic at this time, and it seemed that for the first time he really experienced the feeling of holding power in his hands, "If you all have no opinions, then we will start the defense of the Autumn Maple Plain......"

"Wait a minute." At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded in the conference hall, but it revealed a boundless majesty.

As if the voice was thunder, the entire council chamber trembled for a moment.

Everyone looked to the very middle of the chamber - there were no chairs, but there was a small platform that resembled a platform. For the past 500 years, the platform has been so empty that everyone has forgotten its existential significance. But at this moment, when everyone's eyes fell on this platform, looking at the figure that appeared on the platform at some point, the memory from the depths of his mind suddenly revived.

Everyone, they all remembered a name.

Asali. Nars!

The President of the General Senate in the Floating Chamber!

He is also the founder and guardian of the Floating Chamber!

"See Lord Asaly." Almost all the senators got up one after another at this moment, and no one dared to continue to sit at all.

Asali nodded slightly, his expression very calm, and he glanced thoughtfully at the leader of the Withered Vine Sect, and just one glance made his face unusually pale. However, Asali did not say anything, but quickly turned his head to look at Garad and said softly: "I have heard about the matter, your decision is good, just do what you say." …… But I want you to be able to bring Alyssa and Levi back as much as you can, and there's another guest I want you to bring back along the way. ”

"Guest?" Galad was stunned for a moment.

In fact, not only Jalad, but everyone in the entire chamber was stunned.

"He's on the Qingyuan land, you'll know when you go." Asali said in a deep voice, "I hope you can leave as much as you can, if anything happens to this distinguished guest, then something very terrible will happen." (To be continued......)

PS: I apologize for taking the time to write a chapter that took a little longer to break the update. …… Mom's surgery on Wednesday, hoping that the operation will be smooth, and the postoperative one will be normal.
