CHAPTER 1017: CHAPTER 418: THE TIDE OF THE TIMES (5-IN-1) PART 3

"Success? Is it that easy?"

"Huh? Boss, what do you mean by that? Did things go wrong?"

"Do you think the people of Sky Dome City will just obediently stop? There was never much hope for success from the start."

"But Boss, why did you still do it? Isn’t that just thankless, being unappreciated by everyone?"

Rhein and the others were dumbfounded after listening to Su Ming.

"That’s not how you put it; things still need to be done, the process still needs to be followed, and the necessary attitude must be maintained. I have conveyed all the necessary words to Mo Xiu. As for the result, it has nothing to do with me."

Su Ming replied calmly.

That Mo Xiu is not ordinarily clever; he dared not say much in front of him. Because if he gets caught by even a tiny clue, a lot of information could be exposed.

"Boss, is Mo Xiu really determined to oppose the Council? Does he have to fight?"

Rhein asked in great confusion.

"You’re getting one thing wrong. This is not as simple as it looks on the surface, nor is it about whether Mo Xiu wants to fight or not. The development of this matter has long surpassed his singular control. Even if he doesn’t want to fight, plenty of others want to, and anyone can be replaced. The core issue now is whether Mo Xiu can quell those under him and the beneficiaries stirring things from behind the scenes."

Su Ming briefly analyzed for Rhein and the others.

"So, Boss, what should we do now?"

"Sigh, this isn’t something you should meddle in."

Su Ming sighed as he replied.

In fact, he had already hinted at and tested the Legion Commander many times, but the closer he got to the truth, the more alarmed he became.

He was very worried that uncovering that layer of disguise would reveal a truth that would plunge everything into irreversible devastation.

Rather than facing it, he might as well play ignorant and go with the flow.

"Alright."

Rhein and the others nodded in agreement after hearing what Su Ming said.

...

Legendary Star Destroyer·Wind Dome.

Mo Xiu sat alone in the office, his handsome face showing signs of weariness and tiredness, with slightly messy hair and bloodshot eyes.

He had been sitting in the office for the entire three days, constantly thinking and making decisions.

Ding ding~

The fixed communication device on the desk kept ringing.

The screen on the communication device displayed the name Farren.

The caller was none other than Mo Xiu’s grandfather.

"Sigh!"

Mo Xiu took a long sigh, stood up straight away, ignoring the call, and walked directly to the office door.

He reached out his hands and pushed open the tightly shut door.

As the door opened, over a hundred commanders, including Luoqi Commander, Parekente Corps Commander, and Admiral Roches, all gathered around and started calling out.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

...

Mo Xiu looked at the hopeful gazes of the crowd; his heart finally wavered, a flash of determination in his eyes as he spoke.

"Fight!"

"Young Master, mighty!"

...

The numerous commanders cheered in extreme excitement.

...

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

The next day.

Su Ming sat in the commander’s chair, browsing the Star Cluster Forum, keeping an eye on the real-time dynamics in the Federation.

At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps approached, followed by Rhein’s anxious voice.

"Boss, something big has happened."

"Why panic, what’s happened?"

Su Ming asked very calmly.

"The people of Sky Dome City are assembling troops, preparing to attack the two Neutral Countries, Uranus and Kudik, and are about to set out."

Rhein quickly reported to Su Ming.

"Got it, Timi, connect me to Wind Dome."

Su Ming calmly ordered Timi.

"Yes!"

Timi, hearing Su Ming’s words, immediately sent a communication request to Wind Dome.

Seconds later, the communication was successfully connected, and Mo Xiu’s virtual image appeared before Su Ming.

"Su Ming."

Mo Xiu looked at Su Ming, smiling as he began to speak.

At this moment, Su Ming stood up from the commander’s chair, gazing at Mo Xiu as he spoke.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Yes, a general on the battlefield does not follow orders from afar; Sky Dome City will fight this war alone, no matter the outcome."

Mo Xiu calmly responded to Su Ming.

"Are you sure? If you’re in trouble, I don’t mind helping you, playing the villain once more to drag you back."

Su Ming seriously said to Mo Xiu.

"No need, my mind is made up!"

Mo Xiu shook his head, responding with a determined attitude.

"Alright, wish you a triumphant return."

Su Ming saluted Mo Xiu.

"Thank you."

Mo Xiu returned the salute and then cut off the communication.

After seeing the communication cut, Su Ming immediately raised his wristband, typing a string of commands.

"Activating remote secure communication."

"Please enter the key for identity verification."

...

"Authorization recognized."

Su Ming quickly edited the message.

"Legion Commander, persuasion failed, Mo Xiu has assembled troops and is about to set out to attack the two Neutral Countries, Uranus and Kudik."

"Sending message...."

"Hurry, hurry...."

Su Ming murmured with some urgency.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

Rhein and the others asked curiously.

"What do you think? Things went wrong, reporting it up the chain."

Su Ming said with a wry smile.

Although he had anticipated this result, the anticipation differed from the actual occurrence.

At this moment, the wristband popped up with a notification.

"Message sent successfully."

Seeing the notification, Su Ming sighed in relief, sat back in the commander’s chair, waiting for the next command.

Time slowly passed, about forty minutes later.

A message popped up.

"Understood, from now on, I grant you temporary command authority to coordinate and reorganize the remaining troops, awaiting further command orders."
