CHAPTER 963: CHAPTER 410: A SHOWDOWN (FIVE-IN-ONE)

Wind Dome Conference Hall.

A massive circular metal platform sat at the center of the conference hall.

On the platform, there were two parallel black wooden long tables, with intricately carved rosewood chairs arranged.

All around the circular metal platform, there were trapezoidal seating areas.

At this moment, those seats were filled with rows upon rows of generals and officers.

Almost all the high-level officers of the Fifth and Sixth Legions attended, besides other military leaders who were also present to observe this military meeting.

Currently, the officers in the area of the Fifth and Sixth Legions were all furiously cursing.

"Damn, even a Major General dares to climb over us to show off!"

"Exactly, not only did he hit our people, but he brazenly boasted that the Crimson Country was conquered by him."

"This is truly too much."

"When have we ever suffered such humiliation."

....

In contrast to the furious officers of the Fifth and Sixth Legions, officers from other legions appeared very calm, as if watching a show.

In the corner, two Colonel-level officers of the Twelfth Legion whispered with interest.

"Ji Meng, what do you think about this situation?"

"What else is there to think? Just watch the show."

"I’m serious."

"Ah, of course, it’s delightful. I never expected the always overbearing and unreasonable Fifth and Sixth Legions to face such a day, serves them right."

"Indeed, this Su Ming is truly brave! You know, even if it’s the First Legion, they would have to give way somewhat to the people of Sky Dome City."

"That’s true, but you know, this Su Ming isn’t insignificant, he’s from the Thirteenth Legion."

"Thirteenth Legion? Well, this will be interesting to watch. As I recall, the Legion Commander of the Thirteenth Legion is quite a prominent figure."

"Indeed, I’ve heard she’s a favorite of the Council Chairman, not someone ordinary people can compare to."

"Exactly, but back to the point, do you believe that Crimson Country was conquered by Major General Su Ming?"

"How is that possible? The Imperial Army has amassed so much military force in the Three Neutral Countries. Even a fool would know that just Su Ming’s small force couldn’t have captured it. It’s not like the entire legion was deployed."

"I agree."

...

Amidst the chatter of everyone.

A steady, powerful footstep sounded, and everyone turned to look.

Luo Kui Commander and Parakeent Legion Commander entered, leading a group of military leaders.

At this, Colonel Kadog immediately stood up and shouted.

"Attention!"

Swish!

All officers of the Fifth and Sixth Legions stood up crisply and neatly.

"Salute!"

Colonel Kadog shouted loudly.

The officers of the Fifth and Sixth Legions solemnly and powerfully saluted Luo Kui and the others.

At this time, seeing this, officers from other legions also stood up and saluted Luo Kui and the others.

"Sit!"

Luo Kui waved his hand with authority and directly walked onto the central council platform, taking a seat at one of the long tables.

The various officers present gradually sat down, whispering among themselves.

"Strange, Luo Kui Commander and the others are here, why hasn’t General Su Ming arrived yet."

"No idea, could it be that he’s afraid and backed out at the last moment?"

...

Amidst everyone’s discussion.

Creak~

The tightly closed conference room doors were pushed open again.

Swish!

Upon hearing the noise, everyone turned their heads towards the doorway.

They saw Su Ming dressed in a junior general’s uniform, with a dazzling insignia on his chest, calmly walking in.

Vickers and others closely followed behind him.

"Here he comes!"

"Is this General Su Ming? What a strong presence."

"Impressive!"

...

Many officers marveled and discussed in amazement.

Under normal circumstances, even a veteran general would be quite tense on such an occasion, yet they noticed Su Ming was exceptionally calm, unfazed.

At this moment, the officers of Sky Dome City, seeing Su Ming’s arrogant entrance, were visibly angry.

If it weren’t for the fact that their own legion commanders were seated above, they’d probably have stood up to curse already.

Soon, Su Ming led Hai Lan mother and daughter up to the council platform, sitting opposite Luo Kui and others at the long table.

Vickers and Rhein, among others, took their seats in the first row of the audience seats.

The once-chaotic conference hall quieted down instantly, everyone’s focus on Su Ming and Luo Kui and the others.

At this time, a man dressed in a special black uniform, wearing a faceless metal mask, his appearance unclear, walked up the side of the council platform, coming before both parties in opposition, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am the Military Department’s Divine Word Court Judge, Kayan. I will be responsible for the adjudication of this military dispute."

Upon hearing Kayan’s words, Su Ming’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise that was almost imperceptible.

He had been preparing for the worst, ready to face the people of Sky Dome City with power and authority.

However, he hadn’t expected the people from Sky Dome City to involve someone from the Divine Word Court as a referee.

This meant the other side intended to follow the formal process to argue with him, which was unlike their usual style!

"Now that everyone is here, the debate officially begins. Let’s have both parties introduce themselves."

Luo Kui stood up and spoke solemnly to everyone.

"I am the Federation Danube Star Sea Combat Commander, Fifth Legion Commander Luo Kui!"

"I am the Federation Danube Star Sea Deputy Commander, Sixth Legion Commander, Parakeent."

Parakeent also stood up to introduce himself before sitting back down.

Su Ming then stood up to introduce himself to everyone.
