Chapter 1014 - 417: Villains (5-in-1) (Part 6)

"Now we’re letting them rest, giving the Dark Star Empire a chance to catch their breath. Just how many benefits have they taken from the Dark Star Empire? Are they planning to negotiate next?"

"To hell with negotiations, I will never negotiate!"

"Bastards, these sons of bitches."

...

The officers of Sky Dome City became angrier as they spoke, some even wanted to rush up and give Su Ming a beating.

At that moment, a commanding voice rang out.

"Enough!"

Everyone on site was startled and turned to look.

Only to see Vice Admiral Alifei of the First Legion standing up, looking furiously at everyone present.

"Alifei, what do you mean by this?"

Vice Admiral Isas directly questioned.

"What do I mean? I want to ask what does Sky Dome City mean? Are you looking to rebel? Ignoring the Council’s orders."

Alifei retorted unceremoniously.

"That’s right, if you have objections, you can file a complaint."

"Since the Council has issued the order to stop and rest, you should comply."

...

The other legion commanders present all declared their positions.

In fact, aside from the people of Sky Dome City, the other legion members present felt that the fighting was about enough and wanted to stop while ahead, not keen to continue.

Seeing this scene, Su Ming was a bit surprised, not expecting the other legion members to directly support him, thinking that there was hope now.

However, the officers of Sky Dome City on the site were instantly infuriated.

Isas cursed unceremoniously.

"You cowards, timid as mice, we fight on the front lines and with tough enemies, and you want to divide the spoils! Now you’re chickening out!"

"Exactly, we were truly blind."

"If you don’t dare fight, we’ll fight ourselves, don’t need you!"

...

"What did you say? Who chickened out? Without us, you couldn’t win."

...

Alifei and others were also provoked.

Both sides immediately started cursing at each other, the scene was chaotic.

Vickers watched this scene, completely stunned, what the hell is going on?

Seeing the situation getting out of control, Mo Xiu shouted sternly.

"Silence!"

The booming voice echoed throughout the hall.

Everyone gradually quieted down, and all eyes turned to Mo Xiu.

"What are you arguing about? As officers of the Federation, what does it look like to argue like this?"

Mo Xiu berated everyone present.

Hearing this, everyone quieted down.

Su Ming couldn’t help but take another look at Mo Xiu, this guy was indeed impressive.

Mo Xiu glanced around the room, let out a slight breath, then turned his head to Su Ming.

"General Su Ming, it’s too noisy here to negotiate, why don’t we talk at the back first."

"Alright!"

Su Ming nodded slightly.

"Please!"

Mo Xiu made a gracious gesture, inviting Su Ming.

Su Ming then followed Mo Xiu to the back.

Soon the two of them arrived in the back hall.

Mo Xiu, with a grave expression, spoke to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, this order was issued by Long Bai, right?"

"That’s right."

Su Ming didn’t hide it from Mo Xiu.

"I don’t understand why she would issue this order. Doesn’t she understand the situation here? Honestly, tell me why the attack was stopped?"

Mo Xiu asked with a sullen face.

"I don’t know either, but the Legion Commander must have her reasons for doing so."

Hearing Mo Xiu’s words, Su Ming found himself in a difficult position, as he couldn’t reveal the real reason.

"Isn’t this nonsense? Let me be frank with you, stopping is impossible. With so many troops gathered here, is it feasible to say no fight?"

Mo Xiu’s face darkened even more than charcoal as he spoke angrily.

"So you plan to defy the Council’s orders?"

Su Ming replied with a headache.

"Su Ming, let me tell you, this issue is no longer up to just me to decide. Even if I agree not to fight, the people below won’t agree, they won’t listen to me! And the citizens of the Federation won’t agree either, you know yourself what public opinion is like now. Once the war machine is started, it can’t just stop when you want it to!"

Mo Xiu said to Su Ming with some irritation.

After listening to Mo Xiu’s words, Su Ming also fell silent.

He was well aware that Mo Xiu was right, the current situation was indeed very hard to stop.

"Lord Mo Xiu, I know this order is unreasonable, and you are very resistant. But you should be clearer than anyone that this order is not a problem."

"Su Ming, how about this! Let’s both take a step back. Let us finish this battle, as long as we take down the remaining two neutral countries, we’ll stop fighting, how about that?"

Mo Xiu’s expression changed for a while, and he said in a deep voice.

"No, the higher-ups won’t agree to that."

Su Ming shook his head helplessly.

After hearing Su Ming’s words, Mo Xiu took a few deep breaths, then opened his mouth to speak.

"General Su Ming, let’s set this matter aside for now. Let me go back and discuss it with my people."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble."

Seeing Mo Xiu relent, Su Ming also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Mo Xiu nodded slightly, then headed toward the conference hall, and Su Ming followed suit.

Soon, the two arrived at the conference hall.

Everyone present focused their gazes on Su Ming and Mo Xiu, waiting for them to announce the final result.

"Today’s oath meeting ends here, everyone disperse."

Having said that, Mo Xiu left directly.

The many people from Sky Dome City at the scene, hearing Mo Xiu’s words, each gave Su Ming a hostile look and followed Mo Xiu out.

Seeing this scene, Su Ming also had a wry smile on his face.

This time he had really offended all the officers at Sky Dome City. He really couldn’t go to Sky Dome City in the future, otherwise, he’d die an ugly death.

At this time, officers from other legions, seeing the people from Sky Dome City leave, also got up and left in succession.

"Boss, did this thing get resolved?"

Rhein and the others swallowed and asked.

"I’m not sure either, but at least the result is better than expected."

Su Ming was already prepared for a confrontation with the people from Sky Dome City.

At this point, Vickers hurried over, smiling wryly as he spoke to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, you really know how to give me a scare! Next time, can you give me some notice for this kind of thing? So I can have some mental preparation! Just now, I was ready to be mobbed by the people from Sky Dome City."

"Haha, I’ll pay attention next time."

"Forget it, let’s just hope there’s no next time, you really killed me this time. You’ve offended all the people from Sky Dome City, our legion will have a hard time here in the future."

Vickers sighed as he said.

"It won’t be that bad, they’re not that petty, they’ll calm down after a while."

"Do you believe that?"

"Sigh, even I don’t believe it. Let’s not talk about this, the Legion Commander has assigned you a task."

Su Ming coughed and said.

"What task?"

Vickers immediately inquired with a serious expression.

"The Legion Commander wants you to station troops in Crimson Country."

Su Ming said somewhat awkwardly.

"What did you say? You want me to station troops in Crimson Country? Isn’t that country the one you supported?"

Vickers was stunned.

"I did support it, but Crimson Country is now under the Thirteenth Legion, under the protection of the Thirteenth Legion."

Su Ming awkwardly explained.

"Damn, how did you convince the Legion Commander?"

Vickers looked at Su Ming in disbelief.

"That’s not convenient to disclose."

"That’s too much, you get the benefits and I have to do the work?"

"Ahem, besides this matter, there’s one more thing."

Su Ming replied with some embarrassment.

"What, there’s more?"

Vickers exclaimed in surprise.

"Don’t be so excited, it’s not a big deal, it’s just that I broke your Mechanical Octopus."

"My Mechanical Octopus, I’ll strangle you!"

"Calm down, I’ll report it for you, or I can compensate you. I’ve got other things to do, gotta go now!"

After Su Ming finished speaking, he quickly peeled away.

If they continued chatting, Vickers would surely skin him alive.

"Hey, hey, don’t run!"

Vickers shouted at Su Ming.
