"Then the arrangement for this battle area will be in the fourth star field in the public area. Please raise your hand if you have any objections."

The meeting presided over the proposal to vote, and none of the participants including the top ten colleges raised any objections.

"All pass, then start the next process."

After marking the option of the battle location as "determined" in the charter, the meeting entered the next session.

"About each race's dispatch of assistance troops, we will discuss it with the participants of each race and the General Council. Please send more than two participants from each race to discuss with the General Council in order."

The chairman of the general council and members of the council sitting on the high platform turned their attention to the participants from the top ten academies present.

The racial cooperation station troops are arranged for the academies whose main combat force is combat mech as a booster and basic attack force.Although in the interstellar space, it is the battle mecha that controls the hegemony of the space battle system, but the battleship and the fleet also play an irreplaceable role in the war.

If battle mechs are the key to winning or losing a war, then battleships and fleets are the cornerstones of victory.In order to reproduce the Battle of Klein to the greatest extent, the Interstellar General Council asked the races of the participating students to provide cooperative troops according to the races they belonged to, following the model of the multi-ethnic troops participating in the Battle of Klein.

The role of the cooperative troops is to consume the opponent's basic combat power in the Battle of Klein and attract the enemy's main combat power except for the battle mech, so that the students can concentrate more on fighting against the emperor-level powerhouse .Of course, as the enemy's emperor-level mech pilot, he will also have his own troops directly under him.

In short, this is the largest simulated war in the interstellar completely modeled on the actual war.

"First of all, let the representatives of the Botutan tribe come to the stage to discuss."

As soon as the chair of the conference finished speaking, Siaris and Leiber, who were sitting in the Clemson Academy camp, got up and walked to the round platform opposite the members of the general council.

"Lebur Bertutan, Shiaris Cranson, please express your will to the General Council. Are you willing to accept the assisted troops from the Bertutan tribe?"

This is a routine question before the official start. After confirming the intentions of the students participating in the war, the general council will report the situation of their race cooperation troops in detail.

Under normal circumstances, no student would be so stupid as to reject the assisted troops.

"Willing to accept." Shiaris and Leiber replied at the same time.

A member of the General Assembly spoke again.

"According to the deployment of the Battle of Klein that year, the Bertutans will continue to be the main force to meet the enemy." Speaking of this, he seemed to glance at the expressionless Rhine not far away. "As the main battle force, the Bertutans should have sent the best troops to join the battle. However, this year's situation is somewhat special. The strongest army of the Bertutans will become the same as Rhine Bertutans. your enemies."

The troops directly under the leadership of Rhine Bertutan are without a doubt the most powerful troops in the Golden Clan.In the previous Battle of Klein, this powerful army has been participating as a supporting force.However, this time, as Rhine Bertutan became the enemy of the students, this strongest army of the Golden Clan, which is well-known in the interstellar world, will serve as Rhine's direct troops, and will be in an opposing position with the top ten academies .

This can be said to be a disguised form, reducing the strength of the top ten academies.

"We're already ready," Leiber replied. "No matter who the enemy is, the warriors of the Bertutan tribe will never admit defeat."

"Then, this time, instead of the troops directly under the Golden Clan Rhine Bertutan, the one participating in the joint battle is..."

In fact, the pattern of each inquiry is almost the same.The general assembly asked the students participating in the war whether to accept the cooperative troops from their race, and then explained the details of the troops submitted to the general assembly by the race to the students, and finally gave the students the contact information of the commander-in-chief of the cooperative troops.The next thing is the discussion within their race.

The so-called council is actually just a formality.All the procedures for the Klein battle had already been decided in the internal meeting of the general council.At the pre-war council, it was nothing more than presenting the plan already decided by the general council to the various academies.

For various reasons, the top ten colleges often do not raise objections.Therefore, the previous pre-war councils all ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

Representatives of each race participating in the war took turns to accept inquiries from the general council and carry out the same "discussion mode".

Cheng Zhen sat in the seat belonging to Clemson College with some ecstasy, watching the rounds of various races going up to accept inquiries and conduct so-called discussions.In his eyes, it just feels meaningless.It's all about a form and a spectacle, Cheng Zhenzhen thought, it seems that no matter where he is, he can't get rid of these "face projects".

The black-haired boy was staring at the boring council, and suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if an unknown gaze swept over him.Thinking that it would be the speaker of the Silver Clan looking at him again, Cheng Zhen turned his head and found that it was Sean.

The seats in the entire meeting place are enclosed in a zigzag shape. The Far Eastern College and the Clems College happen to be opposite to each other, and the students of the two colleges sit face to face.When Cheng Zhen turned his gaze away, Sean happened to look over and met the sight of the black-haired boy. The captain of the Extreme East smiled very friendly.

Just now... Could it be an illusion?

Before he could think about it, he saw Sean on the opposite side wink again.It looked like a way of winking, and Cheng Zhen couldn't help but suspect that he had read it wrong. Could it be that after staying in the conference room for a long time, his eyes are not right?

However, in the next second, Cheng Zhen saw Captain Jidong blinking at him again.This time, the black-haired human teenager was quite sure that this was not his illusion.

"Representatives of humans participating in the war are invited to come on stage."

The voice of the meeting host brought Cheng Zhen back to his senses.

In the originally quiet and orderly conference hall, there was also a small wave of waves at this time.Cheng Zhen could feel the gazes of many people on him, especially the speaker of the Silver Clan, who once again looked at him with extremely oppressive eyes.

There was a lot of noise in the conference hall, and Cheng Zhen looked in the direction of the sound, and it turned out to be the seat on the side of the Far Eastern Academy.Sean stood up straight, got off the seat, and walked towards the round platform in the middle.When he got off the seat, the handsome young man with brown hair cast his eyes on Cheng Zhen again and blinked.

It was only then that Cheng Zhen realized that Sean's move was to invite him to go on stage together.Thinking of Captain Jidong's series of antics before, he couldn't help but chuckle.At the same time, he got up from his seat without hesitation.

Under the amazed eyes of everyone, the black-haired boy and Captain Jidong who were waiting for him walked up to the round platform in front of the representatives.

The long-lost representatives of human beings participating in the war finally stood on the stage again after many years, which symbolized the identity of the participants in the Klein War.

The meeting host turned his attention to the two humans, and was about to start the usual questioning.

"Wait a minute." Suddenly, an old and steady voice interrupted the chairperson's actions.

Eames Jatba, who was sitting in the speaker's seat, turned his attention to Cheng Zhen.

"Before the 'deliberation' begins, I have something to ask this human representative from Clemson College."

For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Cheng Zhen.And Rhine Bertutan, who had been sitting in his original position and dozed off, finally opened his eyes at this time.However, the person he is looking for is not Cheng Zhen, but the chairman of the general council——Eames Jatba.There was a hint of displeasure in those light golden eyes.

However, as if not noticing the strong gaze from His Excellency the Chief of the United Front, Speaker Ames looked at Cheng Zhen and continued with his own question.

"I heard that you once had a duel in Clemson College, and the opponent was Liber Bertutan from the Golden Clan. Is there such a thing?"

"It's true, Your Excellency the Speaker." Cheng Zhen looked back into his silvery eyes, and replied without humility.

"What is the outcome of this duel?" After Ames Jatba asked, the conference hall seemed to be in a state of immersion, and almost everyone was waiting for the answer with bated breath.

"This question involves privacy, can I refuse to answer?" After a moment of silence, Cheng Zhen expressed resistance.

However, what greeted us was only the speaker's disdainful sneer.

"You have no choice. This matter involves the core domain of StarCraft, not just between you and Leiber Bertutan." Those old eyes seemed to see through something, Ames He fixedly looked at Cheng Zhen. "You must give an accurate answer, Cheng Zhen, the human combatant of Clemus."

The members of the General Council have indeed begun to suspect.Cheng Zhen smiled wryly, and Teacher Vickery's warning echoed in his ears again.

The red-haired teacher once warned him not to expose his current ability level in front of the General Council, but the Interstellar General Council is more than just as simple as outsiders imagined.Maybe they have already vaguely heard something strange about Cheng Zhen from various channels.

In this case, continuing to cover up this matter will only arouse the general council's intention to investigate.

"I'll ask you again, human combatant Cheng Zhen, who is the winner in the duel between you and Leiber Bertutan?" The aggressiveness from the General Council did not leave room for anyone.

Cheng Zhen looked up at Ames Jatba on the high platform, and answered aloud.

"it's me."

There was a commotion in the conference hall, and everyone's eyes were wandering between Cheng Zhen and Leiber, as if to find out the special expressions on the faces of the two parties involved.And the United Front Commander, who has been silent all this time, the temperature around him has dropped to zero.Anyone nearby could see Rhine Bertutin's unabashed displeasure.

After getting the expected answer, the members of the General Assembly whispered for a while.Although they had already ascertained this result a few days ago, the fact that the person concerned said it personally still surprised everyone.

But Eames Jatba showed a triumphant smile.

"As a human being, you can defeat the talented owner of the Golden Clan named Bertutan in a duel. Cheng Zhen, you are indeed very powerful, but this strength does not seem to match your race. I think , about your body data, we need to..."

"Sir, please take back what you just said."

An unexpected voice interrupted Eames, abrupt and rude.Even Cheng Zhen looked at the person who spoke with some suspicion—the captain of Jidong, Sean.

At this time, the human captain from the Far East Academy was looking at the Speaker of the General Council with a smile on his face, but there was no sincerity in his eyes.

"Sir, can the words just now be regarded as discrimination against human beings? Does the speaker think that as a human being, it is impossible to defeat the Golden Clan?"

Ames felt a little unreasonable about Sean's rebuttal. "I don't mean to discriminate against humans. It's just that Cheng Zhen's strength is too outstanding among many humans. Isn't it because of him, some special reasons?" For example, he became a potential person.

Ames has not said this sentence yet, because the general council is still only skeptical about Cheng Zhen becoming a potential person.

"Really? It seems that as long as you prove that Cheng Zhen's strength is not beyond the scope of human beings, you will no longer doubt him." Sean asked with a smile.

"That's natural."

"Then, now, please allow me to use my own example to prove to Your Excellency the Speaker. It is not impossible for human beings to have such strength." With an elegant salute, Sean pointed to the team members in the extreme east behind him, and introduced to everyone .

"As we all know, this year's Far East team is all composed of human beings. What I want to tell you is that this is not an accident or a coincidence." Looking at the surprised people present, Sean raised his head slightly. Mouth.

"Jidong's annual participating teams are all selected in the academy. The reason why the five of us can appear here to represent the Jidong Academy is simply because - we have defeated all the competitors in the academy and won This year's qualification to participate in the battle. And this opponent includes three members of the golden family."

In the terrifying atmosphere of silence, Sean looked at His Excellency the Speaker again and said with a chuckle.

"Whether the situation is true or not, the speaker can ask our dean in person. Now, can what I said become evidence that human beings have great strength? Your Excellency the speaker."

"..." The unexpected situation made Ames Jatba silent.

Sean looked at him, pursing his lips.

Cheng Zhen, who had been clenching his fists tightly when Eames Jatba said, "It is impossible for human beings to have such strength", relaxed his body a little at this time.He looked at Sean, his fellow human, who was smiling beside him.What flows in my heart is an emotion that cannot be expressed in words.

However, in the end, the black-haired human boy turned thousands of words into one sentence.

Cheng Zhen raised his head and looked at the councilors on the high platform with his dark eyes.

"As a human participant in this session, I also want to make a request to the General Council." The young man's clear and firm voice echoed in the silent conference hall.

"Now that human beings have resumed their status as participants in the war, please restore the status of the human army as one of the three major armies at the same time."
