The meeting hall fell silent again. Previously, everyone was angrily preparing to collectively "condemn" the overconfident young lady, but now they turned their heads; they wanted to see who dared to speak up at such a moment.
Thus, they saw Sitle, respectfully holding the puppet dragon marionette in her hands.
Suddenly, some people fell silent, not daring to say more.
After all, the name and reputation of Elder Radiant Dragon still held significant status; not anyone could criticize her.
They had dared to denounce the young lady not because they had too many people, but because they occupied the "truth". The young lady might be skilled in combat, but shipbuilding is unrelated to martial ability; this is about craftsmanship and knowledge.
And this is their professional field, their familiar territory. People always feel exceptionally secure once in a familiar domain, naturally becoming bolder than outside.
