Chapter 130 130:Federation Council[II]
"You are nothing but mere folders and livestock, silly humans. We can trample you anytime we go out. If just one of our ancestors awakens from their slumber, the upper echelon of yours would be done for, "Seraphina then giggled.
Veins on Herman\'s forehead bulged and she was about to strike her when the President raised his hands signaling to stop.
"Shadow Zone."
"Huh!"
Everyone\'s ears perked hearing that word.
Especially Seraphina whose face became as pale as sheet paper but her expression went back to normal soon and she feigned ignorance.
"What shadow zone are you speaking about?"
"No need to pretend....."The old man then leaned forward, coming out from the darkness.
Loud gasps echoed as his figure fully came to the limelight.
"Vice President Gen….."
"Weren\'t you busy somewhere?"
"Wait! What are you doing there on the President\'s seat?"
Astonishment shone in everyone\'s eyes as they saw the president in the President\'s seat but soon their attention was diverted to somewhere else.
"KHUMMMMM!
"KIEEKEKEK!"
Groans of pain and agony were spat out drawing everyone\'s attention.
Their gaze fell on Chris Lambert whose family led the country of Verdantis.
"Chris..."
More than that, they stared at the blood-red hand that pierced through the man\'s chest from behind.
"Chris...You shouldn\'t have done that.."
"This saddens me when I have to take care of cockroaches like you while taking care of another thing."
Then with a bang, Chris\'s figure blasted into tatters, and a man pulling back the chair sat on it casually with a contented smile.
"Apologies dear member, but you see it\'s this old fool who made some kind of shady deal and allowed this lovely girl…I mean Vampire to pass through."
Everyone was too shocked to react for a moment and only managed to utter after a moment.
Chris Lambert\'s betrayal sent shockwaves rippling through the assembly, leaving behind a trail of disbelief and dismay.
He had been a trusted ally, and a defender of humanity, and his sudden act of treachery cut deep into the hearts of those who had once counted him as a friend. As the reality of his betrayal sank in, a sense of betrayal and anger surged through the ranks, mingling with the sorrow of his untimely demise.
For many, Chris\'s betrayal was a bitter pill to swallow, a stark reminder of deception lurking in the shadows
How could someone they had fought alongside, someone they had trusted with their lives, turn against them in such a callous manner? The questions lingered, unanswered and unsettling, as they grappled with the harsh reality of his actions.
And then, as if to compound their grief, Chris\'s life was snuffed out in a moment of brutal violence.
The sight of his bloodied form, torn apart by unseen hands, sent a shiver of horror coursing through the assembly, their hearts heavy with sorrow at the loss of one of their own. His death served as a grim reminder of the dangers they faced, of the sacrifices that would be demanded of them in the days to come.
But amidst the grief and anger, there was also a sense of respect as the man had fought with them on the battlefield however they couldn\'t keep a traitor amongst them.
There were no trials, and execution was done on the spot which means his crime was quite punishable, and knowing the man who did this, they can guess that he didn\'t want to lay out the full matter.
"P...President, you are still cool as ever."
"You are something else, President Aaron Walton."
The man who looked to be in his 30s just gave a smile while setting his hair with wet liquid.
And the liquid wasn\'t a wet jell, but rather the blood.
Intertwining his finger, he placed it on his lap and assumed a serious stance.
"Was it necessary to kill him like this?"
Aaron stared at the old man from a prominent family in Mystara.
"Yes!"He answered firmly."The repercussions would have been severe and humanity would have suffered if I didn\'t act."
Hearing this, their lips twitched as the man seemed to talk nonsense about the future and grim situations if they didn\'t do this and that.
Cough!
Coughing a bit to lighten the atmosphere, he asked "So where were we?"
"Shadow Zone," Vice President Gen murmured.
"Yeah, shadow zone," Aaron murmured.
"Member of Federation Council, I have news to announce. Four days ago, a gate appeared in Elysium from which monsters attacked. Many of you might know and…"
He looked at the people\'s oblivious gaze, "And many don\'t know. We have discovered a new shadow zone at RA 3 hours 7 minutes, dec +35 degrees 21 minutes."
"So, all of you understand what this means, right?"Aaron asked, shifting his attention towards Seraphina.
"Seraphina, after some kind of deals with this fucking traitor had managed to come here, and as for why she came particularly is because of shadow zone."
"She planned to create an army of Vampires and then enter the shadow zone but she had never expected that she would be cut. Am I right now Lady Seraphina?"
Seraphina gnashed her teeth as her plan was laid bare before everyone.
\'Damn, that human didn\'t even manage to handle this little thing. I should have turned his entire family into a Vampire.\'
"There might be some other things and specific reasons she wants to go which I am not aware of," Aaron emphasized this as there might be many hidden tricks behind her appearance.
"Then, what are we going to do with her?"Someone asked.
"Should we kill her?"
"Shut up! Can we even handle the repercussions of killing her?"
"Insolent bastard!"Seraphina screamed."If I had my power unsealed, I could blow you with a mere cough."
Everyone gave her a brief look and then ignored her as if she wasn\'t anything important.
"Since your cultivation is sealed, just stay out. We have more important matters to discuss."
The members muttered, giving emotional damage to Seraphina who huffed and puffed in anger.
"About the shadow zone, what are you going to do now? Call the troops."Someone asked.
"We can\'t do that?"Gen screamed aloud."No calling of troops from zones. We can\'t have another Blood Year disaster."
All of them shivered to hear the term.
Many years ago, to explore a shadow zone, the humans called back a part of the troops which caused a lapse of defense and creatures managed to cross the place and enter the wall causing immense loss and destruction.
At that time, Aaron stood up from his seat and spoke
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the Federation, As we stand united in the face of challenges, I address you with unwavering conviction and a shared vision for our collective future. Today, our Federation faces a pivotal moment, and it is with great responsibility that I issue the order."
"Families from all over the world, this time we need your contribution. Send your reserve private soldiers and create a troop of capable warriors.\'\'
