Wind Dome·Observation Deck Area.

Mo Xiu led the crowd through the distant passage, he ascended the observation deck with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distant pitch-black starry sky, his eyes continuously flickered. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

This starry sky directly faced the direction where the Imperial Army was retreating.

At this moment, the officers from Sky Dome City behind Mo Xiu were furiously cursing.

"Damn it, if it weren’t for the young master holding us back, I would definitely storm out and give Su Ming a beating, what the hell is he?"

"And all those other legions, what are they good for?"

"A bunch of ingrates, we feed them meat, yet they bite the hand that feeds them, using chicken feathers as arrows."

...

At this moment, Mo Xiu slowly turned around to look at his men.

Seeing this, the officers stopped cursing and urgently asked.

"Young master, what do we do now?"

"We can’t really stop fighting, can we? The soldiers below will be in upheaval."

"Exactly, we can’t back down."

...

"Everyone quiet down."

Mo Xiu said solemnly to the crowd.

Upon hearing Mo Xiu’s words, everyone suppressed their anger and quieted down.

At this time, Parakeent Corps Commander said to Mo Xiu.

"Young master, the council is certainly preventing us from fighting at this time because they’re afraid you’ll achieve great merits that threaten their positions."

Hearing this, the officers voiced their indignation.

"Exactly, young master, those cowards from Starlight City don’t dare to fight themselves, and they’re afraid of you gaining merit, so they issue such disgusting orders."

"We can’t fall for it!"

...

At this moment, Luo Kui also spoke to Mo Xiu.

"Young master, I think Parakeent is right, now that the Council Chairman’s health is failing, he could retire at any moment, leading to elections. Those on the Starlight City side are surely afraid you’ll achieve great merits, receive the public’s esteem, and compete with them. We can’t just meekly back down, this battle must be fought! As for the council’s orders, I’ll take the blame, no matter what, I’m the Commander in Chief, I’ll bear all the punishment they may give afterward."

Mo Xiu kept silently listening to the group, his expression constantly changing.

Seeing the young master silent, Parakeent urgently said.

"Young master! This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, we cannot let it slip."

"Let me think."

Mo Xiu’s expression changed for a moment before he spoke.

"Young master, time waits for no one, if we miss it, there will be no more opportunities."

Luo Kui and the others hurriedly persuaded.

"Enough! Let me think."

Mo Xiu was also at his limit and shouted directly.

The crowd immediately quieted down and lowered their heads.

...

Meanwhile, within Wind Movement·Room.

Su Ming lay on his bed scrolling through his bracelet, Little Grey holding a tiny ball and running back and forth in the bedroom.

Danube Star Sea Joint Combat Group information kept popping up.

Fifth Legion·Colonel Kagdo: MLGB, can’t that Su Ming of the Thirteenth Legion be a decent person? Why insist on being a menace?

Thirteenth Legion·Major Rhein: Watch your mouth!

Sixth Legion·Lieutenant Colonel Ameri: What’s there to watch, he dares to do those things but is afraid of being cursed?

Third Legion·Colonel Ketalun: Although the orders come from the council, why is it him who’s delivering them? There’s no way there’s no conspiracy here.

Fifth Legion·Colonel Kagdo: Exactly, some people’s minds are small, always snitching.

Thirteenth Legion·Colonel Kaff: Don’t spew nonsense.

...

Su Ming glanced at the inflamed combat group chat and sighed slightly.

He clicked off the chat group and logged onto the Star Cluster Forum.

The entire Star Cluster Forum was even more bustling, with countless posts emerging. One post, pushed to the front, reached over 10 billion hits, boldly titled.

"Hero or Coward!"

Su Ming clicked in, and the post contained a grayscale close-up photo.

The photo showed Su Ming with Rhein and others standing at the conference table, holding the council-signed decree toward Mo Xiu.

In the conference seats, the officers were in an uproar.

Looking at this photo, Su Ming couldn’t help but touch his chin, this photographer did a nice job.

The photo captured a strong sense, making him look quite villainous.

Satisfied, Su Ming reached out to save the photo, then looked at the post’s comment section.

The comment section held over a hundred million comments.

"Are the heads of those above filled with sh*t? After hard-won victories, instead of taking Danube Star Sea and attacking Dark Star Empire, they halt the fight and stab their own people?"

"Shame, utter shame, as soldiers bleed and battle at the frontlines, some are calculating how to reap profits, how much blood money have they taken?"

"That Su Ming rose to Major General at a young age, even an idiot can tell he’s a backdoor job, look at his arrogant demeanor, how brazen!"

"Exactly, in normal circumstances, where would a Major General get the courage to challenge Admiral Mo Xiu?"

"Protest, strong protest! Reject negotiations!"

...

Su Ming shook his head helplessly, shut off his screen, and lay back to sleep.

Starlight City·City Lord’s Mansion Office.

Gakels sat at the desk, grimly listening to Vice City Lord Okens’ report.

"Lord City Master, the situation is dire, there’s an uproar below. There’s a major protest activity breaking out on Sky Dome City’s side, some people even blocked the entrance of the City Lord Mansion...."

Okens spoke with great anxiety.

Gakels, hearing this, tiredly rubbed his temples, contemplating response strategies.
