Behind Ande, there followed Tianlan, Gita, and Luo Yu a few others. Seeing the scene, the three couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, realizing they weren't too late.

Tianlan winked at Fang Hong, indicating that she deserved the most credit, which warmed Fang Hong's heart.

And made him realize he wasn't alone, but rather everyone in the Adventure Group stood by his side at this moment.

Fang Hong looked at Ande—his teacher—seeing the old man just nod to him, signaling him to remain calm.

Only then did Ande turn back, seriously looking at Pudra, and said lightly, "Although some have forgotten their promises, I believe that on the land of the Southern Region, most people should still remember their oath—"

"On this land of the Southern Region, ultimately it should be the people of the Southern Region who have the final say. Since there are differing opinions on this matter, let's vote on it. This is precisely the purpose of the Elfendo Council's existence."

He spoke slowly:

"In view of Mr. Ade's outstanding performance, I suggest, in the name of the Elfendo Council, to nominate him to enter the main competition team, ensuring that until the end of the Continental League, his personal safety and freedom are unrestricted..."

Count John Roniel's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

He was well aware of the Alchemists' rules. If they managed to reach a consensus, today would not only end in failure but also disgrace for him.

However, he was evidently not the only one with this idea, as Pudra immediately spoke up, "I disagree."

Ande looked at the others.

Both the head of the Magic Guided Conductor and Plugin department opposed, while the Old Speaker and the Elfendo Tower Guard were in favor.

Including his own vote, among the seven Grand Artificers present, there were now three against and three in support.

Both sides seemed evenly matched, and undoubtedly, this Master of Magic Potion was prepared. However, Ande was not surprised, only turning his gaze to Count Westwood Sibika.

Pudra was just as tense, looking at the latter.

Lord Earl appeared somewhat hesitant, but recalling the earlier conversation with the opposing party, eventually raised his hand, "I also support."

Four to three.

Fang Hong breathed a large sigh of relief, understanding he had narrowly escaped death once more. He couldn't help but look at the others, seeing the tense expressions on Mulan, Haw-Beak Bean, and others below also relaxed.

Tianlan and Gita beamed with joy.

Only Count John Roniel appeared extremely displeased.

And Pudra's expression was equally grim, internally cursing the other party as incompetent and counterproductive. Biting down hard, he nearly squeezed out from between his teeth, "Wait a moment."

"What?" Ande looked at the old guy in surprise.

"Don't forget, someone hasn't voted yet."

Ande couldn't help but laugh, "You're talking about Old Copper Nose? Pudra, are you out of your mind? Do you think, given Old Copper Nose's relationship with me, he would oppose?"

But his words were not finished.

A rough voice came from behind Pudra, "No, Ande, I oppose."

Old Dwarf, panting heavily, emerged from behind two BBK officials, frowning and saying to Ande, "Ande, this time the old potion jar is right, the Elfendo Council cannot risk itself for an outsider."

Ande stared at his old friend in shock.

It took him a long while to react, "Old Copper Nose, have you gone mad!?"

Old Dwarf shook his head, "I'm certainly not mad."

He handed a letter to Ande, "Take a look at this."

Ande skeptically took the letter and looked at it, his expression changed, "Ye Hua? He's asking us to support Rolin?"

He turned back and looked incredulously at Fang Hong and the young man beside him.

Fang Hong was equally taken aback, immediately feeling a surge of anger; it was that kind of fury from being betrayed. In Dulun, had he not promised Ye Hua to help rescue Enan, he wouldn't be caught in such a predicament now.

To his utmost surprise, the opposing party ultimately dealt him a critical blow.

Ande grasped the letter in his hand, silent for a long while.

Old Dwarf sighed and said, "With the addition of Ye Hua, it's five to four, come to terms with it, Ande. We are people of the Southern Region, and the Elfendo Council must consider the interests of the Southern Region Alliance—"

Upon hearing this, Pudra sneered coldly.

He then looked at Roniel not far away, who nodded in satisfaction and ordered, "Arrest them."

Guards surged forward.

At the same moment, on the square, black cloaks drew their knives and swords, only to see a flash of Magic Guided Conductors flickering incessantly. Behind these young men stood Su Changfeng, unmoved.

Count Roniel was stunned, angrily uttering, "Holy Choosers, will you defy the covenant between our two nations!?"

Su Changfeng raised his hand, signaling both sides to remain calm.

"Sorry, I need to consult with Stargate Port first," he answered unhurriedly, "It's my duty, please understand."

Count Roniel frowned slightly on hearing this, but knowing these people were hard to provoke, he nodded, signaling the guards to withdraw.

Su Changfeng lowered his head, quietly took out the Communication Crystal, first sending a call for backup to the nearby troops. He then pondered for a moment, understanding that consulting Stargate Port was a long-term solution.

And the only one who could help at the moment was—
