Moreover, why did they let Xu Mo choose and then start an investigation? What does that mean?
Forcing Xu Mo to make a sacrifice himself?
For the sake of billions of people?
Why should Xu Mo sacrifice himself for those who chose to sacrifice him?
He opened the electronic tablet in his hands; the survey that was released had already been participated in by many people. As the population of Chuanxing City was vast, the number of participants soon reached into the millions. Currently, those in support of sacrificing Xu Mo and those opposed were evenly split, at a stalemate.
Seeing this, Ye Qingdie displayed a mocking smile. People really are fickle.
Of course, that so-called support was because it didn't affect their interests, but now, when it came to their own lives, there weren't as many supporting Xu Mo.
Zero also walked up to Xu Mo and said, "Come with me."
Xu Mo was startled, saw Zero turn around, and then followed her to a nearby place.
Zero looked up at Xu Mo and said softly, "If they bully you , I'll tell Master Qiong, and we'll leave."
Seeing Zero's serious demeanor, Xu Mo felt a surge of warmth and smiled, "Yeah, if most people choose to abandon me, then let's go."
The superpower equipment had already arrived, inside the castle.
The carrier had also arrived.
This war, he wasn't fighting for himself, but for Byron Star.
If all factions chose to sacrifice him for peace, then what did the war have to do with him?
"Hmm." Zero nodded earnestly.
The Federation wanted Xu Mo to make a choice, using the public to compel Xu Mo, so he, too, would leave the choice to the public.
He wasn't a hero, nor had he ever thought of being one.
Chuanxing City was undergoing extremely intense discussions.
At this moment, in Chuanxing City, the media was vigorously debating.
"Xu Mo, he is a hero of the Federation, the Federation shouldn't treat a hero this way. Have the people really forgotten the Transcendent tournament, forgotten the duel arena, who it was that defended the dignity of the Federation?"
"Xu Mo is certainly the hero of the Federation. I believe that the majority of the Federation's populace supports Xu Mo; no one will forget the scenes of Xu Mo's first victory at the Transcendent tournament battlefield, the news of his return from the sea shook Chuanxing City, countless people cheered, it's just that, the people of the Federation all have their own families, they face a tough choice. Xu Mo, being the recipient of the Purple Gold Medal, has the responsibility to protect the safety of the people's lives, everyone in the Federation will stand behind him."
"That's moral coercion."
"This is for the Federation."
In another screen, former Mayor Liu Feng of Chuanxing City was being interviewed.
"This is a conspiracy by the Lancelot Star People, I'm familiar with the Star System Alliance's alliance treaty, which forbids interstellar wars, forbids mass slaughters, even if there are irreconcilable conflicts between the Federation and Lancelot Star, and war breaks out, to avoid creating a bad influence within the Star System Alliance, the Lancelot Star People wouldn't dare to massacre civilians on a large scale."
"Since war is inevitable, we should prepare fully for war; why still destabilize public morale, making the Federation unstable?" Mayor Liu Feng said angrily, but his influence was limited after stepping down, and many people didn't like him, so not many paid attention to his statements.
Fierce debates erupted in various places in Chuanxing City, and the number of participants in the voting continued to increase, supporters and opponents waxed and waned, but still maintained a balance, with the vast majority still in a wait-and-see situation, not making a decision.
Such a choice was extremely difficult.
All this was being watched by the Lancelot Star People aboard the warship, leisurely sipping red wine, watching this grand drama unfold, even betting whether the Federation would hand over Xu Mo.
They were very curious to see the fate of this young hero fashioned by the Federation.
The next day, the debate over whether to hand over Xu Mo continued, the number of voting people was decreasing, the vast majority were still hesitant, they simply gave up voting.
Xu Mo was somewhat surprised to see that the number of people opposing handing him over was actually in the majority; it seemed his status in the hearts of the Federation's people was still quite high.
At that moment, Xu Mo received a video call from Mia.
Xu Mo was somewhat surprised, as Mia rarely video calls.
He answered and discovered Mia was with another person, very beautiful, it was Xiang Yuner, the two were together.
"Mia," Xu Mo called out smilingly.
"Xu Mo," Mia showed a radiant smile, she always managed to make people feel comfortable and pure and good, Miss Mia always had this infectious power.
"You two became good friends?" Xu Mo asked with a smile.
"Yes, Yuner Miss and I became good friends," Mia nodded smilingly: "We heard about the situation in Chuanxing City, Yuner Miss and I want to collaborate to compose a piece of music to support you, but the atmosphere is always not quite right, do you have any good compositions?"
Xiang Yuner only realized after getting to know Mia that Xu Mo had an extremely high talent in music.
Xu Mo felt warm inside, knowing that Mia was silently supporting him in another way, wanting to use music to influence the public.
Miss Yuner had great influence in Chuanxing City too, reputed to be the most popular person after him; the collaboration between the two indeed could stir a significant response.
Xu Mo thought for a moment, now that Byron Star was facing a wartime crisis, an oppressive atmosphere loomed over the Federation; perhaps the people of Byron Star needed some external forces to inspire them.
"Teach me," Mia said.
"Heard in dreams, only remember the rough music," Xu Mo said.
"I understand," Mia responded with a smile.
"I'll hum it for you, you two perfect it," Xu Mo said.
"Okay," Mia and Xiang Yuner both became serious, and then Xu Mo hummed a song.
After humming, Mia and Xiang Yuner were both shocked by the power of the song, as they both were connoisseurs of music.
"Xu Mo, we will come to Divine Sword Bureau to find you," Xiang Yuner said, wanting to learn it in person, this song was the most powerful and shocking music she had ever heard.
"Okay," Xu Mo nodded.
The war song, Star Sky!
