But what are the other options i have , i have only one connection for Up link Router & One connection for Down link to the Core switch if using HA cables between secondary blades is mandatory , this means that i need to connect network ports to it as well ... which will not work at my case

 

understood. anyway, it is the best practice to configure failover multicast address or unicast mesh. so, i think it may be better to use ha-group or vlan failsafe to trigger failover when interface (trunk) is down or there is no traffic on vlan.

please be noted that there is a known issue on vlan failsafe in 11.1.0, 11.2.0 and 11.2.1.
