A few days later.
Inside the hospital room of Sea God City.
Su Ming lay on the hospital bed, raising his wristband to scroll through the Bright Forum (Tidal Star Sea section).
The entire Bright Forum interface was gray, with Aruebiâs obituary pinned at the top.
Although Aruebiâs rank was much lower than Androâs, he was still a genuine Holy Temple Knight.
If Androâs death was like a corner of the sky falling, then Aruebiâs death was no less than a massive earthquake.
The whole forum was about to explode, with countless posts popping up continuously.
"Oh my God, itâs Su Ming again?"
"Is that Su Ming a monster cultivated by the Federation?"
"I think heâs a demon, otherwise how could he kill Lord Andro and Aruebi?"
"Itâs really terrifying."
...
Su Ming looked at these posts, feeling a headache. In the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, he was not just famous anymore; he was being treated like a monster and a demon, causing extreme panic.
Of course, the reason Su Ming logged into the Heavenly Revelation Divine Countryâs forum was not to look at posts about himself.
He mainly wanted to see if there was any news about Limi.
After all, on the battlefield back then, Limi disobeyed orders and let him go, which was quite a serious charge.
Unfortunately, after browsing the forum for a long time, Su Ming found no relevant information.
Knock knock~
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Su Ming replied without looking up.
At this moment, Rhein and the others walked in, wearing their neatly pressed uniforms and smiling brightly.
"Boss."
"Whatâs the matter?"
Su Ming asked while scrolling through the forum.
"Timi and the others are here."
Rhein and the others replied excitedly.
Then Timi and Marina walked in, enthusiastically calling out.
"Officer Su Ming."
"Why are you here?"
Su Ming looked up at Timi and the others, somewhat surprised.
"Officer Su Ming, have you forgotten? Today is the day for the celebration banquet."
Marina said with a smile.
"Oh, I remember now. Why donât you guys go instead?"
Su Ming replied with little interest.
"How can that be? Youâre the guest of honor. If you donât go, how can we explain it to Lady Alicia? Officer Su Ming, please come."
Marina and the others pleaded pitifully.
"Alright, Rhein, you guys push me."
Su Ming replied with a bitter smile.
"Sure thing, Boss!"
Rhein and the others responded excitedly.
....
Outside Sea God Castle · Sea God Square.
The wide ground was fully covered with a red carpet, adorned with various vibrant flowers and exquisite decorations.
A podium was set up at the forefront of the square, with long tables covered in white tablecloths underneath, displaying a variety of exquisite food, wine, and fruits.
Women soldiers dressed in exoskeleton armor, looking dashing and spirited, stood in two neat rows at the entrance steps of the square.
The entire square was filled with guests attending the celebration banquet, chatting and laughing.
Not only were the officers who participated in the battle invited this time, but also the royal family members and nobles from all the Neutral Countries within the Tidal Star Sea, as well as distinguished people and online celebrities from the Federation.
At the same time, Rain Capital invited many reporters for publicity. Reporters stood at the edge of the square due to the large number of attendees. Therefore, Rain Capital didnât hold the celebration banquet inside the castle but chose the outside square to accommodate more people.
In a corner of the square, officers of the various major legions from the Federation responsible for the left-wing battlefield gathered, chatting and laughing.
Among them were Li Fubai, Li Haoyu, and Major General Li Lie.
"Brother Li Lie, I didnât expect the celebration banquet in Rain Capital to be so grand and luxurious this time. It must have cost a lot of money."
A man in a Major General uniform, with a face full of acne scars and rough skin, said somewhat surprised.
"Mokan, you donât understand. Rain Capital finally won a great victory, and it was a genuine great victory, much better than the bitter victory in Sky Dome City. They definitely want to take the opportunity to publicize it. Doesnât this give them more face than Sky Dome City?"
Li Lie explained to Mokan with a smile.
"Makes sense."
Mokan replied with a smile.
At this moment, a group of female officers from Rain Capital walked to the nearby leisure table, sipping cocktails and chatting happily.
Mokanâs eyes lit up when he saw this, and he said to Li Lie and the others.
"There are so many pretty ladies from Rain Capital over there. Letâs go chat with them."
"Is that okay?"
"Whatâs wrong with it? Weâre all single. If we donât be proactive, weâll end up as bachelors."
"Alright then!"
Li Lie replied with a smile.
Mokan and the others then walked towards the group of ladies.
As they approached to greet them, they heard the ladies chatting and praising with smiles.
"This time it was really thanks to the Thirteenth Legion for defeating the right-wing enemy and arriving just in time. Otherwise, the main battlefield would have been in trouble. They were truly awesome."
"Yeah, everyone in the Thirteenth Legion is so brave!"
.....
The expressions of Li Lie, Mokan, and the others suddenly became a bit stiff. In this war, they had also made significant contributions, yet all the praise was directed at the Thirteenth Legion.
