CHAPTER 962: CHAPTER 409: SNATCHING FOOD FROM THE TIGER’S MOUTH (5-IN-1) (PART 6)

"Lord Mo Xiu, there’s a problem with the reception in Crimson Country."

"What’s going on?"

Mo Xiu asked with a slight frown.

"Crimson Country was seized by the Thirteenth Legion."

Colonel Achev reported to Mo Xiu and the others.

Upon hearing Colonel Achev’s words, Parakeent’s expression slightly faltered. This scene seemed all too familiar.

"What’s wrong with your face?"

Mo Xiu asked in a deep voice.

"When I went to receive, they kept interfering and even resorted to violence."

Achev, leaving out parts, accused pitifully.

"Who hit you?"

Mo Xiu coldly asked after hearing this.

"Major General Su Ming of the Thirteenth Legion."

Colonel Achev replied directly.

"What? Is this Su Ming so arrogant? How dare he hit my people?"

Luo Kui’s face immediately darkened as he spoke in displeasure.

"They also shamelessly claimed that they conquered Crimson Country."

Colonel Achev continued.

"What nonsense, Crimson Country was clearly abandoned by the Imperial Army out of fear of the young master. How did it become something they conquered? They’ve got some nerve, don’t they realize if they’re capable of that?"

"Yeah, it’s laughable!"

"Do they really think that seizing it makes it theirs?"

...

Many generals at the scene started cursing.

They had seen shameless acts before, but never quite like this.

"Enough, quiet down!"

Mo Xiu said coldly.

The noisy scene instantly quieted down.

Mo Xiu lifted his head and looked at Achev, starting to ask.

"Achev, I’m asking you, are you sure it was Su Ming who hit you, and you didn’t fight back?"

"Young master, it was indeed Major General Su Ming who hit me, I didn’t strike back."

Achev replied hesitantly.

Mo Xiu’s eyes flickered as he spoke coldly.

"Achev, this matter is serious, you’d better accurately tell me everything, no hiding. Don’t let anything else come out when I confront Su Ming."

Achev hesitated for a moment, then finally said.

"Young master, I was ordered to receive Crimson Country. Major Rhein of the Thirteenth Legion repeatedly obstructed, and spoke disrespectfully, so I slapped him."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiu’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.

At this moment, Commander Luo Kui also spoke deeply.

"Even if that’s so, it’s not a reason for them to obstruct us from receiving Crimson Country."

"Alright, enough, stop talking!"

Mo Xiu raised his hand to interrupt Luo Kui.

Commander Parakeent saw this and asked.

"Young master, what should we do now? Should we directly order Major General Su Ming to withdraw?"

"Follow proper procedures, inform those below, and send Major General Su Ming a military letter, asking him to come to the Wind Dome tomorrow."

Mo Xiu decisively instructed.

"Young master, is that necessary? Just a mere major general, does he think he can turn the tables?"

Commander Parakeent said angrily.

"I’ll say it one last time, follow the proper procedures."

Mo Xiu said firmly.

"Yes!"

Everyone suppressed their anger and responded.

...

----------------------------------------------

The next day, in the Emperor’s Central Control Room.

Vickers sat in the command chair, sipping a steaming cup of coffee leisurely.

Colonel Kaff stood to the side and asked in a deep voice.

"General Vickers, is it okay for the Fifth and Sixth Legions to advance fully while we stay behind?"

"What’s wrong with it? They’re not planning to share any spoils with us, so why should we bother joining in? Honestly, I prefer not to go."

Vickers replied nonchalantly.

In fact, he was eager not to go into battle, to better preserve his strength.

At this moment, Captain Zhou Yuelin rushed in hastily and said to Vickers.

"General Vickers, something’s happened."

"What’s happening?"

Vickers suddenly felt a sense of panic, his hand shook, spilling his coffee.

"General Su Ming got into a conflict with the Fifth Legion, and it’s very serious. I heard there’s going to be a military meeting on the Legendary Star Destroyer·Wind Dome."

Zhou Yuelin said to Vickers.

"What did you say? What exactly is going on?"

"I’m not sure either, it seems to be about the ownership of the Crimson Country."

"Crimson Country? This is bad. Quickly, head to the Wind Dome immediately!"

Vickers’ face changed slightly as he spoke immediately.

The first step of Sky Dome City’s strategy was to take over the three major transit countries and establish their influence there. Now that Su Ming has thrown a wrench into Crimson Country, they will not let this go easily.

He needs to go over and see what’s happening as soon as possible.

"Yes!"

Zhou Yuelin responded quickly.

...

The next day, the Legendary Star Destroyer·Wind Dome hovered in outer space outside the Crimson Star, surrounded by a swarm of ships.

These ships were not just from the Fifth and Sixth Legions; there were many other legions’ ships as well, including the Emperor.

At this moment, the Wind Moving flew out from the Crimson Star, heading towards the Wind Dome.

Inside the central control room.

Su Ming and Rhein stood on the observation platform, gazing at the distant starry sky.

Lady Hai Lan came over with Catherine in hand.

Her eyes were red as she apologized to Su Ming.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Su Ming. I didn’t expect to cause you so much trouble."

"It’s alright, Lady Hai Lan. Since I’ve taken on this matter, I’ll see it through, you don’t need to worry."

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

Rhein spoke out with great concern.

"Leader, they have so many people, and they’re highly ranked. Can we really stand against them?"

"Don’t worry about it. At least the Federation is reasonable, and we have our chances."

Su Ming replied calmly.

Ankaga suddenly shouted in shock.

"Quick, look over there!"

Upon hearing Ankaga’s words, Su Ming and the others all looked towards the distant starry sky, coming face-to-face with the Legendary Star Destroyer·Wind Dome.

"Damn, this Star Destroyer looks so advanced!"

Rhein and the others were all stunned.

Su Ming was also very surprised; this Star Destroyer exuded a powerful oppressive feeling.

This sensation couldn’t be compared to the Star Destroyers seen at the Star Storage event. Who would have thought Sky Dome City had such weaponry?

Timi walked over to Su Ming, saying,

"Commander Su Ming, we’re about to reach the Wind Dome and dock with it."

"Alright."

"Also, Commander Su Ming, once we get onboard, you must be careful. Those in Sky Dome City are notoriously domineering and unreasonable."

Timi reminded Su Ming quietly.

"No worries, I understand."

Su Ming replied, undisturbed.

"Good!"

Timi didn’t say anything more.

...

A moment later, the Wind Moving and Wind Dome successfully docked.

Su Ming, along with Lady Hai Lan, her daughter, and Rhein, proceeded through the connecting passage and smoothly entered the Wind Dome.

He then saw Vickers and his group approaching.

"Vickers? Why are you here?"

Su Ming asked with some surprise.

"Of course, we’re here to support you, but are you really going to confront those folks from Sky Dome City?"

Vickers asked with a tight expression.

"It’s not me wanting to confront them, but their arrogance and unreasonable behavior."

Su Ming said with a smile.

"Alright, but let me remind you, no matter what happens, don’t do anything inappropriate. Let’s think of a solution when we get back."

Vickers cautioned with some worry.

"Okay!"

Su Ming nodded.

"Then let’s go, they’re all in the meeting room."

Vickers said to Su Ming.

"Alright!"

Su Ming then followed Vickers towards the meeting room.
