Chapter 357

Lan Ze Legion's main ship
At this time, Huo Qi was wearing a dark blue camouflage uniform, and his legs were slender and strong wrapped in black military boots. After he stepped onto the deck of the main ship, without waiting for the soldiers to react, he flashed and walked steadily on the corridor leading to the conference hall.
"Master!!!" Ze Jiu, who was anxiously running around outside the conference room, immediately greeted the man with surprise when he saw him.
Huo Qi ignored Ze Jiu and pushed open the door of the conference room. As expected, the room was already full of his subordinates who had received the notice and come over.
When they saw Huo Qi coming in, everyone immediately became serious, stood up straight, and gave a standard military salute.
The unwritten rule of the military is that once on board a warship, everyone is a soldier. The military salute is the only etiquette.
"Okay, everyone sit down." Huo Qi took off his military cap and placed it on the table, looking at everyone and speaking sternly.
After everyone was seated, Huo Qi glanced at Ze Jiu and sat directly at the main seat at the conference table.
"Yes, Your Highness. At 8:13 tonight, our insider received a message. The message reads: The federal coup is now over." Ze Jiu's voice was full of seriousness. Then, under the surprised gazes and low murmurs of the crowd, Ze Jiu continued:
"After receiving the news and collating intelligence from various sources, we discovered that the riots may have begun two weeks after the signing of the armistice agreement, and only fully erupted in the Federation's main star region three days ago. Furthermore, this riot may be closely related to the three major families in the Swamp Region."
"Your Highness, why has such important information only been reported now? This is a mistake made by the Intelligence Department."
"Your Highness, this is our responsibility. I am willing to accept the punishment."
"Now is not the time to assign blame, Your Highness. The most important thing right now is to get to the bottom of the situation as quickly as possible."

Lan Ze Corps Main Ship Command Area
"Attention all fleet groups, we are about to enter the swamp, the intersection of the Empire and the Federation. After passing through the space wormhole, all ships must immediately reach the designated area according to deployment A and sail in stealth throughout the journey." Huo Qi stood in front of the huge virtual universe sandbox, issuing instructions with a serious expression.
"Yes!" The main commander's mental power was connected to the command of each ship. As the order was issued, the captains of each ship responded immediately.
"Master, the latest news from the Intelligence Department is that the federal coup was successful, and the Elders' Council has undergone a major reshuffle, with most of the members replaced. The Yin family of the Swamp Orcs was the main force in this coup, and has become the head of the Elders' Council. In addition, the Jing family of the Swamp Humans has also become a member of the Elders' Council. Furthermore, news has just arrived from the Swamp that the entire She family of the Demonic Clan has been wiped out. Our people have suffered heavy losses, with nearly two-thirds of them killed. All those sent to Frost Star to monitor the Yin family have disappeared."
"Yeah. I understand." Huo Qi nodded, standing straight in front of the huge virtual navigation map and looking at it, his deep blue eyes full of darkness.
"Master, we have been monitoring the situation in the swamp for years, but we know almost nothing about the actions of the orcs and the human Jing family. We even learned about the extermination of the She family only now... This is a problem of our intelligence department, and I am willing to accept any punishment."
Zejiu, or rather the entire Intelligence Department, had been mired in deep self-doubt since receiving the news last night. Information was lagging, personnel were missing… this series of problems weighed heavily on them, nearly suffocating them. Their former pride had been crushed to the ground by this incident.
Although the leader of the council last night did not make any punishment decision against the Intelligence Department, Ze Jiu still blamed himself.
