Chapter 965 - 410: A Contest of Strength (5-in-1)_3

Su Ming smiled and added.

At this moment, Vickers, who was seated, was also taken aback and quickly covered his mouth, almost laughing out loud.

Su Ming was indeed very considerate, helping him regain his position.

Luo Kui frowned and looked at Parakens, lowering his voice to ask.

"What happened, did you really say that?"

"For a moment, I slipped up."

Parakeent raised his hand to touch his forehead, replying with great annoyance.

He hadn’t expected such a sentence to be grasped by Su Ming.

After hearing Parakeent’s words, Luo Kui almost spat out old blood, handing a knife to the opponent at a critical moment. Well, that’s just great now.

However, irritation aside, Luo Kui still said in a deep voice.

"Su Ming, one thing at a time. What Parakeent said only represents his own views and cannot represent the entire Military Department."

"Lord Luo Kui, the issue is that I accepted the mission first, attacked the Crimson Country first, and inflicted significant damage on the Imperial Army, and I also occupied the Crimson Country first in the end."

Su Ming stated one point after another.

Luo Kui was rendered speechless by Su Ming’s words, even starting to doubt himself.

But at that moment, a steady voice came through.

"Enough, Luo Kui, you all can step back."

Su Ming was slightly stunned and looked up.

He saw Mo Xiu walk in from the back door of the council hall, ascending the council platform under everyone’s attention.

"My lord!"

Luo Kui and the others stood up and greeted respectfully.

Su Ming was very surprised to see Luo Kui and other leaders showing such respect to the newcomer. Who is this person?

Mo Xiu nodded slightly to everyone, then walked up to Su Ming, showing a gentle smile, and said.

"You must be Major General Su Ming, Long Bai’s subordinate? Truly formidable."

"Yes, and you are?"

Su Ming’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Mo Xiu directly use the Legion Commander’s name, then he asked.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Mo Xiu, the eldest grandson of Farren City Lord, with the military rank of Admiral! I apologize here for Colonel Achev’s actions in striking people."

Mo Xiu apologized politely.

If at first Colonel Achev thought Su Ming and his people were opportunistic thieves occupying the Crimson Country, unwilling to give it up, then his slap to Rhein wasn’t much of an issue. But now the situation was different, as Su Ming and the others had actually attacked the Crimson Country, making that slap unreasonable.

Upon hearing Mo Xiu’s apology, Su Ming was even more surprised, with a hint of skepticism.

Is this guy really the grandson of Farren City Lord? It doesn’t seem like it at all.

Both in appearance and temperament, they were completely opposite.

This made Su Ming a bit unaccustomed and he could only respond accordingly.

"No matter, we are all on the same side, a little quarrel is normal."

"Good, you have magnanimity. Let’s start the formal discussion then."

Mo Xiu looked at Su Ming with a bright smile on his face.

"Alright."

Su Ming replied solemnly.

At that moment, he felt immense pressure, as this Mo Xiu seemed more challenging than even Luo Kui and others.

"General Su Ming, I do not deny that you attacked the Crimson Country earlier and inflicted certain damage on the Imperial Army. But you should be very clear that merely your actions couldn’t have forced the Imperial Army to retreat. A large reason is the presence of our main forces. I think this is an indisputable fact, isn’t it?"

Mo Xiu spoke pointedly.

"You’re right, but neither can all the credit be attributed to you."

After hearing Mo Xiu’s words, Su Ming’s heart sank.

Mo Xiu was right, the Imperial Army’s retreat was greatly influenced by the presence of Sky Dome City’s army, which was undeniable.

"To be fair, we all have credits."

Mo Xiu acknowledged generously.

However, once those words were spoken, everyone present started discussing.

"If everyone has credit, then how should the Crimson Country be divided?"

"Exactly, the entire Crimson Country is only one Main Star."

...

Judge Kayen was also taken aback, not knowing how to adjudicate.

Su Ming looked at Mo Xiu with furrowed brows and said.

"Lord Mo Xiu, how do you intend to resolve this issue?"

"There’s no way to solve this issue if we all have credit, everyone has their valid points, and it can never be straightened out. But I do have a suggestion."

"What suggestion?"

"I’ve seen you kill many Imperial officers, you must be quite capable, right? Why don’t we follow the rules of our Sky Dome City and have a fight!"

Mo Xiu suggested to Su Ming.

"A fight?"

Su Ming looked at Mo Xiu, quite surprised.

"That’s right, a fight to decide the winner. Whoever wins gets the Crimson Country. Of course, not using Mechas, since no matter who wins, the loss would be the Federation’s. Should we just spar directly?"

Mo Xiu proposed to Su Ming.

Su Ming gave Mo Xiu another look upon hearing this. This guy isn’t just shrewd, he even knows how to calculate.

Using Advanced Mecha for combat would indeed be a significant loss.

At this moment, Vickers Major General, seated below, had a drastic change in expression upon hearing this and immediately raised his wristband, desperately sending messages to Su Ming.

"Don’t agree!"

"Don’t agree!"

...

Su Ming’s wristband kept vibrating with messages popping up incessantly.

Su Ming glanced at Vickers’ messages, his expression fluctuating.

"What? Don’t dare?"

Mo Xiu asked smilingly when he saw Su Ming looking down at his wristband.

"Why wouldn’t I dare? I agree!"

Su Ming raised his head to meet Mo Xiu’s gaze and agreed without fear.
