Chapter 1140 -744, This Woman is Not Simple (First Update)
In this world, the transmission of information was slow.
Sometimes, something that happened in one place wouldn’t become known for a year and a half, and it would slowly be forgotten.
The Federation and the Sea Tribe had started a cold war, blocking off the sea between them and cutting off contact.
It was very difficult to obtain any intelligence about the other side.
Last night, Haber’s fleet of Aerial Ships returned to the Federation’s territory and docked at “Lyss Port” for repairs.
With the successful docking, a large group of transmigrators and soldiers also disembarked and returned to their respective cities.
Transmigrators weren’t part of the military and were not greatly deterred by the methods used to restrict the native people.
Moreover, no one reminded them about any secrecy work.
Immediately, the experiences of this journey were known to those who intentionally inquired and were relayed back to Silver Wing City.
The specific details weren’t too important,
but the nobles in Silver Wing City sifted through and extracted one crucial piece of information.
The fleet was attacked by the Sea Tribe just off Giant Claw Island, and after losing two Aerial Ships, they fled eastward, hiding out for several days.
Only recently did they dare to emerge, firing randomly near Giant Claw Island before hurrying back.
Once this news spread,
it immediately garnered the attention of everyone.
This morning’s council meeting began with one member after another questioning Palmer.
…
The scene was chaotic.
Even Dordy and Archbishop Milton showed doubt upon hearing the rebukes from below.
It seemed like the Lower House had received some alarming news.
Bang! Bang!
Dordy struck the table forcefully to quiet the scene.
He demanded in a stern voice, “No more noise, clarify the situation.”
Though he asked, he had more or less heard everything just now.
There were allegations that the troops from Lyss City were falsely reporting their military achievements.
After all, news from the Sea Tribe was blocked, so whether it was a victory or defeat was really just whatever Rebecca said.
False reporting of military achievements!
With Rebecca’s audacity, it was uncertain whether she dared to do it.
In face of Dordy’s inquiry, a member of the Lower House said, “Leader Dordy, our people inquired into Haber’s fleet last night after it docked….”
Then, this person publicly recounted what he knew.
Basically, Haber’s troops hadn’t achieved any real military exploits and had fled in disorder during the naval battle.
They hid in one place for several days and then came straight back.
Upon hearing this explanation, whether from the Upper House or the Lower House, everyone was wide-eyed.
People inherently didn’t believe that the Human Clan had the capability to attack the Sea Tribe, so naturally, they were more inclined to believe the narrative of defeat.
The entire Federation couldn’t handle the Sea Tribe, you expect Lyss City, a small border town, to accomplish that?
Impossible.
It seems Rebecca really had a huge gall to falsify such a thing.
If it turned out to be true, it’s not just about maintaining a seat in the Upper House.
Dordy would have Rebecca executed.
The entire Federation was deceived by this sole person, not executing her would mean losing all face of the Federation.
Dordy’s expression grew even more serious, and he demanded coldly, “Is what you said the truth?”
“Dordy, I wouldn’t dare bring it to the council without certain confidence,” the man shouted, his voice brimming with conviction.
Another person spoke, “I have also received information that can corroborate this.”
One by one, members stood up, affirming the veracity of this news.
The council became noisy once more,

with discussions focusing on the reckless daring of Lyss City.
At the platform of the Upper House,
Palmer frowned as he watched below, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
The situation before him had evidently exceeded his expectations.
By now, it might be difficult to resolve.
At least, he had no evidence to effectively prove that Haber’s military had successfully attacked Giant Claw City.
“Palmer!” A stern voice called out from the side.
The room fell instantly silent.
All eyes turned toward Palmer.
“Leader Dordy!” Palmer responded.
“Explain this matter!” Dordy commanded.
Palmer adjusted his collar and stood up, speaking softly, “Haber, commanding general, has indeed breached Giant Claw City and will return in a few days to provide everyone with proof.”
“See, he has no real evidence.”
“Ha! Palmer, stop pretending. Just find any accompanying transmigrator and ask; why are you still so stubborn?”
“Archbishop, do you have any suggestions?” Dordy’s gaze turned to Archbishop Milton.
Milton glanced below, “This matter concerns the entire Federation, I was against Rebecca’s plan from the start, and now that it has come to this, it’s difficult to rectify. We might start by revoking Lyss City’s Upper House status until Haber returns and the matter is thoroughly investigated.”
The Archbishop never liked Rebecca.
Most of the council members from Lyss City were his people.
With the current questioning, Milton naturally wouldn’t allow Lyss City to remain in the Upper House.
“Guard!” Dordy commanded coldly.
Amid the clanking of armor, two guards from the Hall of Justice walked in.
Dordy scanned the room with a cold gaze and ordered, “Detain ‘Palmer,’ suspend Lyss City’s Upper House status, and halt all Federation activities.”
Upon hearing the command, the guards marched forward.
Palmer’s expression turned grim as well, and he said sternly, “Leader Dordy, this is the council. Shouldn’t we at least wait for ‘Haber’ to return before making a decision? Merely based on the words of a few council members, you’re revoking our Upper House status—are you nullifying the purpose of the Upper House?”
