"Milord, the Fretta Monarch Frief, Woguoao Sovereign Saiwo, and Tasji Country Lord Shmu request an audience."

"Let them in!"

Gakels said calmly.

"Yes!"

Yun Rou immediately went out.

A moment later, she led three figures into the room.

On the far left was an elderly man of considerable age, clad in a purple robe that trailed on the floor and with an imposing demeanor. In the middle was a middle-aged man with bright, spirited eyes and a robust build, dressed in a black suit, and on the right was a short man with a large beard, wearing a lavish red robe.

"Please take a seat," Gakels said politely.

"Thank you!"

The three of them then took their seats at the conference table.

It was then that the elderly Fretta Monarch Frief spoke up.

"Lord Gakels, we’re all familiar with one another, so let’s skip the formalities."

"Alright, speak!"

Gakels nodded slightly in response.

"The Imperial Army has been severely damaged and has retreated back to the territory of the Crimson Country. From the looks of this war, the Imperial Army’s strength is not as formidable as we initially thought, maybe it’s time for the Federation to send troops."

Fretta Monarch Frief said earnestly.

"Yeah, we’re all looking forward to your deploying troops to completely drive them out of the Danube Star Sea."

The short Tasji Country Lord Shmu added anxiously.

Woguoao Sovereign Saiwo followed up.

"Lord Gakels, if we don’t drive out the Imperial Army, we really can’t sleep in peace. We’re even afraid to sleep at night."

Upon hearing this, Gakels’s expression changed briefly, then he addressed them.

"Gentlemen, the Federation Council Chairman is still in hibernation, deploying troops is a big decision, and it’s not something I can decide on my own."

"What should we do?"

Woguoao Sovereign Saiwo and the others asked with unsightly expressions.

"Don’t worry though; given the Federation’s good relationship with you, we certainly won’t stand by idly! Tell you what, I’ll think of a solution for you."

"What solution?"

"You three countries should open up citizenship and borders, I’ll allow non-official personnel to voluntarily join you, how about that?"

Gakels reassured them.

These three countries were all located near the Federation’s side of the Danube Star Sea, and with the support of the Federation, they possessed respectable military force, acting as a barrier for the Federation!

The Federation could not afford to let them go easily.

Upon hearing Gakels’s words, Woguoao Sovereign Saiwo and the others all smiled, replying with great pleasure.

"Since Lord Gakels has spoken so, we can rest assured. We’ll return and open up citizenship and borders right away."

"Good, go back with peace of mind."

"Good!"

Woguoao Sovereign Saiwo and the others stood up and respectfully saluted Gakels.

Then they turned and left the conference room.

Gakels watched their departing figures with an increasingly heavy expression.

------------------------------

Ten days later.

Imperial Court Academy, Teaching Building 23rd Class.

Mia stood at the podium, explaining some combat techniques to Su Ming and others.

"In combat, you must learn to divide your attention, keep ninety percent on your opponent, and one-tenth on your surroundings to avoid being attacked unawares! Also, when you make an attack, if you are not one hundred percent certain, try to conserve some strength..."

Su Ming took notes diligently.

At that moment, Rhein, who sat beside Su Ming, whispered.

"Su Ming, have you noticed something?"

"What’s that?"

Su Ming whispered back, lowering his voice.

"Today, Lieutenant Colonel Alako isn’t here watching over Mia, which is pretty unusual, and it’s making me feel quite uneasy."

Rhein complained to Su Ming.

"Do you have a masochistic streak? Isn’t it a good thing that he’s not coming?"

Su Ming replied helplessly.

"Eh, I guess you’re right."

Rhein replied, also helplessly.

As the two of them whispered to each other, suddenly a figure approached the classroom door and knocked.

Thump thump!

Mia immediately stopped her lecture, and Su Ming and the others turned their heads to look.

Standing at the doorway was Vice City Lord Okens.

"Vice City Lord Okens?"

Rhein and others exclaimed in surprise.

Su Ming was also surprised; what was he doing here?

"Miss Mia, I apologize for interrupting your class. May I have a moment of your time? I need to discuss something with you."

Vice City Lord Okens said to Mia very politely.

Mia looked at Vice City Lord Okens; her expression immediately became very serious, and she said to Su Ming and the others.

"Study on your own; I’ll be back in a moment."

After speaking, Mia followed Vice City Lord Okens out of the classroom.

"Whoa, Vice City Lord Okens, in person? Class president, what’s this about?"

Rhein and others asked Su Ming in shock.

"How should I know?"

Su Ming sighed in response.

"Class president, let’s follow them and listen in."

Rhein and others said excitedly.

"Sure!"

Su Ming agreed after a moment’s thought, as he was quite curious himself.

"Let’s go!"

Rhein and the others ran out.

...

At this time, Mia and Vice City Lord Okens were walking outside together.

Vice City Lord Okens smiled and said.

"Miss Mia, do you really plan to spend your whole life teaching here?"

Mia, realizing what he was up to, replied irritably.

"What, are you here to play the lobbyist too? I’ve said it before; wanting me to go back is out of the question!"

"Miss Mia, it’s been so long, and those old guys do realize their mistake. Why hold onto it?"

Oakens wasn’t angry at all and patiently tried to persuade her.

"Hmph, let’s not even talk about it!"

"Don’t be hasty in refusing; hear out the terms first."
