If there was indeed some underhanded maneuvering going on, then these old fellows should have given him a heads-up or at least hinted at it! Come on, everyone, I'm just an ant here! Do you subconsciously think that I, who didn’t vote, am as timid as a mouse?
"Very good, very good! Newborn Papaya, your courage is like a banner; no, it's like the rising sun, so full of vitality. I think I’m starting to miss the mists of my hometown in the Mo Ya Fault." Just when Lin Yuan felt a bit lost, Ruler Shrek unexpectedly smiled broadly, which was quite strange. How did he manage to make it seem like he was genuinely smiling?
At this moment, if Lin Yuan still couldn’t tell that something was off about this vote, he would be a complete fool. Moreover, Claire quietly informed him that in this Council Base Hall, all the Mechanical Warriors who voted in favor of the war motion were of noble status or higher—essentially all were controllers, Destructioners, and Executors.
On the other hand, all the Mechanical Warriors who voted against it were commoners: Patrollers and Assistants, including him, the only Newborn.
This was already very clearly problematic. Not to mention that Patroller Black Whirlwind and Patroller Blackfish were glaring at him fiercely.
But still, something felt wrong. If Patroller Black Whirlwind and the other commoners didn’t want Lin Yuan to cast a vote in favor, why didn’t they warn him beforehand?
"Sir, there's no need to dwell on it. Regardless, this is unavoidable. The Peace Council Hall has already been information-blocked. That Patroller Black Whirlwind sent you twelve messages in a row but they were all blocked. Even if you chose to disagree, the final result would inevitably show agreement. This is also why you—a weak Puppet Mechanical Warrior—were initially taken into this Peace Council Base. Did you really think this place was noble, fair, and legitimate? If it weren't for Ruler Shrek wanting to use you to cast this crucial vote, how could he possibly offer you 100,000 Wandering Coins for your information? How could he be so generous as to grant you a F-Level commoner lineage? He could have forcibly extracted all your memories from your Intellect at any time! Furthermore, haven't you noticed over these three years? Not a single commoner approached you. On one hand, they think you're worthless; on the other hand, they're being obstructed by some force. Otherwise, there must be tactical experts among those commoners. How could they not deduce this outcome? In short, this result has been predetermined since you entered this Peace Council Base. Now, stay calm and composed!"
Claire's calm words hit Lin Yuan like a massive stone, leaving him utterly stunned!
He was completely dumbfounded!
So this was the truth—the truth that was always so brutally clear!
He considered himself not too dim-witted; however, these old foxes were incredibly cunning! Undoubtedly, within this Peace Council, the balance of power between nobles and commoners had always been maintained. The nobles represented by Ruler Shrek had been trying to push through a certain plan—the so-called war motion—which might turn many commoners into cannon fodder. Thus all the commoners opposed it collectively using the facade of fairness and transparency in the Peace Council’s voting system. The nobles found themselves helpless!
But ultimately, Lin Yuan appeared as a disruptor and scapegoat. Although he couldn't break the balance entirely, he provided a glimmer of hope for the nobles represented by Ruler Shrek. Thus began an invisible conspiracy that lasted three years; they finally managed to eliminate seven Council Members through some means or by leveraging the power of the Black Council. If Lin Yuan's judgment wasn't mistaken, those seven Council Members must have all been commoners.
At this moment, if a vote were to be held again, the presence of Lin Yuan would naturally give the nobles a slight advantage. With a sense of righteousness, even if the commoners disagreed, they would have to stubbornly adhere to the principles of the Peace Council. This was the truth!
In an instant, Lin Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.
He then looked at Ruler Shrek, whose originally amiable yet passionate voice now sounded utterly repulsive.
"Very well, brothers. The motion for war has now received legitimate results. As the leader of the Peace Council, I announce to you that war will commence immediately. However, as we all know, due to that damned Ancient Protozoan Virus, we cannot crush those pests in a straightforward manner on the battlefield. Therefore, this war must employ strategy. After five million years of accumulation, I believe it is time to restart the Rail Plan. As long as we can restore the tracks and achieve one-third operational load of the System, those damned Ancient Protozoan Viruses will be quickly formatted and eliminated. We will have a chance at life, we will gain sufficient energy, and restart Subworld Wanderer's Paradise. Ultimately, we will connect to Moya Mechanical City and return to our beloved homeland. We shall regain our freedom! Long live freedom!"
Ruler Shrek passionately delivered his speech, painting an incredibly beautiful picture of the future. The nobles with titles such as Executors and Managers cheered in unison, while the commoners—Patrollers and Assistants—fell into silence and despair.
"Respected Ruler Shrek, I disagree. Five million years ago, our Peace Council Base had eight hundred twenty-one brothers. But because of the restart of the Rail Plan, we suffered heavy losses. This is a death plan; even if we all perish, we cannot succeed in activating it."
Amidst the cheers, an incongruous voice emerged—it was a B-Level Patroller, the strongest among the Civilian System within the entire Peace Council Base. By Galactic Puppet Mechanical City standards, he possessed at least S-Class strength.
"Oh, Patroller Kunsan, I understand your concerns. Rest assured, I will not let my brothers die in vain. After five million years, we have identified all previous flaws and shortcomings. Moreover, this time it won't just be our base; I have contacted Alliance Council Base and Dark Council Base. The three major bases will unite just like when we created the six Heavy Iron Magnetic Storm Centers back then. Trust me, my brother; this time we will fight side by side. This time, freedom awaits us." (To be continued...)
