Chapter 136: The Old and the New
Many people felt enlightened after reading that comment. They thought to themselves, ’Right, the Alliance Army can’t be trusted now, but this newly established Stellar Corps seems promising.’
They originally wanted Yuka to become the General Fleet Admiral because she was neutral, without ties to any faction. She had a clean background and had quietly done a lot for the Alliance, protecting many.
They couldn’t help but wonder if Yuka already knew some insider information about the Alliance Army, which was why she didn’t join them and instead established the Stellar Corps. If they also joined the Stellar Corps and helped it grow, maybe it could replace the Alliance Army.
With this mindset, many quietly flocked to the Stellar Corps’ recruitment website. Seeing that the deadline was midnight tonight, they hurriedly applied, hoping to be chosen.
Behind the scenes on the Stellar Corps’ website, the number of troops was rapidly increasing.
The butler was excitedly scanning through applications, approving or rejecting them. The butler even saw some Alliance Army soldiers applying in secret. However, there was an agreement with Yuka and the old heads of the Alliance Army not to accept their soldiers, so they were all rejected.
Yuka opened the projection screen in her hotel room and picked a melodramatic TV drama to watch as her last relaxation before the battle.
After watching three heart-wrenching romance movies, Sunday night arrived, and the voting for the General Fleet Admiral was about to end.
Once Yuka announced her intention to form her own army, everyone knew she would not rejoin the Alliance Army. The votes for her started to decrease, and her tally wasn’t rising as quickly as before.
Kenji’s votes were steadily increasing. They had paused briefly when the Alliance Army’s scandals were exposed, but soon people started voting for him again. They had seen his dedication, experienced his protection, and trusted his character. They thought if Kenji led the new Alliance Army, things might change.
This was the Alliance people’s last trust in the Alliance Army.
