Chapter 475 Celebration Banquet

“Heh heh, not that bad.”

Su Ming chuckled and replied.

Seeing that Su Ming didn’t want to talk much, Irelia didn’t press further. After all, everyone has their own secrets, so she looked up and gazed at the distant scenery.

Su Ming felt inexplicably guilty when Irelia stopped talking.

At this moment, Irelia asked calmly,

“Su Ming, do you have any dreams or aspirations?”

Su Ming was touched by Irelia’s words and, after a few seconds of silence, replied,

“Yes, I once had a very deep obsession! But later, I got tired and let it go. After all, it’s not easy to come to this world, so I just wanted to pursue freedom and experience life, wanting to have money to spend and do what I want to do.”

“That’s good.”

Irelia replied, her eyes subtly shifting.

“But after being free for a while, my heart suddenly began to feel lost again, not knowing what I was searching for, until—”

As Su Ming spoke, his eyes gazed at Irelia.

“Until what?”

Irelia asked, puzzled.

Su Ming didn’t answer Irelia but quietly looked at her.

Irelia looked into Su Ming’s eyes, her expression slightly stunned, and her heart immediately jolted, thinking, “Could it be directed at me?”

At this moment, Timmy and Marina, dressed in fashionable attire, walked over from a distance and happened to witness this scene.

“Timmy, quick, look! Commander Su Ming and her are practically pulling threads with their gazes.”

Marina said with a beaming smile.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Timmy replied, her brows slightly furrowed.

“I’m not talking nonsense. I heard this Irelia is the commander who defeated you in the Three School League and now she’s even taken your position.”

Marina said with a mischievous smile.

Timmy’s temper flared a bit upon hearing Marina’s words, almost uncontrollable.

However, she restrained herself and walked towards Su Ming and Irelia.

Soon, they arrived beside Su Ming and Irelia and respectfully greeted them.

“Commander Su Ming, Miss Irelia.”

Su Ming looked up at Timmy and the others, slightly stunned.

Timmy and Marina, among others, were not wearing military uniforms but fashionable and revealing short skirts, showing off their fair legs, each one very attractive and beautiful.

It must be said that when the girls of Rainy City took off their military uniforms, every one of them was a beauty.

“Timmy, Marina, why are you here?”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

“We came to visit you. Are you feeling better?”

Timmy asked with concern.

“I’m fine, just a flesh wound. I’ll be good after some rest.”

Su Ming chuckled and replied.

“Commander Su Ming, you are truly amazing! This time, you not only drove away General Long Mellite but also killed Arrebi! Later, you severely wounded Lily and Byrut, truly like a god descending from heaven. This time, we were able to defeat Apocalypse Divine Kingdom, thanks to you.”

Marina and the others said with great admiration.

“This is everyone’s credit, not just mine.”

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

“Commander Su Ming, you are too modest. Your contributions are obvious to all of us. Lord Mayor Alicia will hold a celebration banquet seven days later and specifically sent us to invite you to attend.”

Marina and the others respectfully invited him.

“A celebration banquet?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll see how it goes then. If I’m in good physical condition, I’ll attend; if not, then I won’t.”

Su Ming thought for a moment and replied.

“Alright.”

Timmy and the others nodded.

“By the way, for this celebration banquet, can I only go by myself, or can I bring people?”

Su Ming then inquired.

“Under normal circumstances, only invited people can go, but it’s fine if you bring a few people.”

Timmy explained to Su Ming.

“Okay, I understand.”

Su Ming nodded slightly and replied.

He planned to bring Rhein and the others. These guys are all single, and there are so many girls in Rainy City, so he can’t treat his own people poorly.

Irelia checked the time on her wristband and then spoke.

“It’s almost time, Junior Su Ming. You should also go back to your ward to rest. After all, your body still needs quiet recuperation.”

“Okay!”

Su Ming nodded in agreement.

“Then we won’t disturb your rest. Goodbye, Commander Su Ming.”

Timmy and the others respectfully said to Su Ming.

“Mm, goodbye.”

Su Ming nodded.

Wormhole Spacetime Federation Defense Line · F833 Alert Zone.

One Third Generation Mecha · Cyan Wing, along with four Second Generation Mecha · Iron Guard, flew through space.

Sounds echoed through the public communication channel.

“Every day it’s patrolling this area. This life is truly boring.”

“Chen Zhe, stop complaining. Everyone, perk up. The defense line hasn’t been peaceful lately.”

“Captain Lu Sheng, wasn’t that warp drive fixed?”

“It was fixed, but ever since those monsters snuck in and got a taste of it last time, they haven’t stopped.”

Lu Sheng said irritably.

“Alright.”

Chen Zhe and the others responded.

Lu Sheng controlled the Cyan Wing Mecha, leading the patrol team to continue flying forward. At this moment, he inadvertently scanned the distant starry sky through the optical imaging device, and his expression suddenly froze slightly.

He subconsciously controlled the Cyan Wing Mecha to stop.

“What’s wrong, Captain?”

Chen Zhe and the others asked curiously.

“Nothing, I just feel like the starry sky ahead is a bit off.”

Lu Sheng said, frowning tightly.

“Off? Nothing wrong, right?”

“Captain, are you perhaps too stressed and a bit paranoid?”

“Yeah, I don’t see any problems, and that area isn’t even part of our patrol route.”

Chen Zhe and the others looked towards the starry sky ahead.

“Something’s wrong. Let’s go check!”

Lu Sheng controlled the Cyan Wing Mecha and flew towards the distant starry sky.

“Wait for us!”

Chen Zhe and the others quickly followed.

Lu Sheng led his team, flying forward continuously, when suddenly the mecha seemed to hit a special membrane.

The moment they passed through the membrane, they all froze, their faces showing expressions of extreme terror.

In the starry sky ahead, mechanical fortresses floated, and dense black mechanical flying insects obscured the sky.

“Mechanical army, run!”

Lu Sheng immediately turned with Chen Zhe and the others to escape, but they ran head-on into a terrifying figure.

V-Type Hero Class · Saber Dragon · Hamikas appeared before them.

Before they could react, a silver light flashed past.

Crack!

The five mechas were instantly cut neatly in half.

Old Galaxy · Vast Starry Sky.

A Level 5 Battleship sailed towards Tianlan Star. The entire Tianlan Star was hazy, its exterior densely covered with numerous defensive fortresses, space-based weapons, and patrol ships.

Soon, the Level 5 Battleship entered Tianlan Star, passing through the hazy atmosphere.

As the ship emerged from the atmosphere, an endless gray land came into view.

On the land, giant factories were situated, their vertical chimneys all emitting black gas.

And in the center of many factories, a giant base city, enveloped by the Dorag Sphere, was located.

Not long after, the Level 5 Battleship landed at the Interstellar Airport in Tianlan City.

A black hovercar drove down from the ship, entered the underground express tunnel, and headed towards Tianlan City.

More than an hour later, the black hovercar arrived at the entrance of a giant manor.

The gate immediately opened, and servants bowed respectfully.

The black hovercar drove directly into the manor, passed through the vibrant garden, and arrived in front of a villa built of white stone.

At this moment, an old woman in a black swallow-tail coat, with a face full of wrinkles and an impeccable expression, stepped forward and respectfully opened the car door.

Long Shadow and General Xinlade stepped out of the car.

“Welcome, Lord Long Shadow, Lord Sinrad!”

The old woman greeted respectfully.

“Sun Man, is Dragon Lan here?”

Long Shadow asked expressionlessly.

“Yes, please follow me!”

Butler Sun Man led Long Shadow and Sinrad inside.

Not long after, they arrived in the living room, where Dragon Lan was seen trimming a potted plant with scissors.

“Seventh Sister!”

Long Shadow greeted her warmly.

“Fifth Brother, General Xinlade, why are you here?”

Dragon Lan stopped trimming, turned to look at Long Shadow and the other, and spoke with a slight surprise.

“Isn’t it just passing by, so I brought Sinrad to see you?”

Long Shadow explained with a smile.

Sinrad also said very respectfully,

“I have long admired Lord Dragon Lan, but have never been able to visit in person. It’s rare to visit with Lord Long Shadow today. I hope it’s not too abrupt.”

“You’re too kind. I’m very happy you could come. Please, have a seat!”

Dragon Lan gestured for the two to sit down.

Butler Sun Man served them tea.

Long Shadow took a sip of clear tea and said to Dragon Lan with a smile,

“Dragon Lan, time really flies. I remember when we used to live under the same roof, going to school together every day. Although there were bumps and quarrels sometimes, those days were truly warm. Now, in a blink of an eye, we’re old, and we don’t even see each other for years.”

“Yes, so many years have passed in a blink, and things are no longer the same.”

Dragon Lan was also touched by Long Shadow’s words and replied.

“But it’s still good, after all, the three of us siblings are still together.”

Long Shadow said to Dragon Lan with a smile.

“Hmm, Fifth Brother, you didn’t just come to reminisce this time, did you?”

Dragon Lan looked at Long Shadow thoughtfully.

“Seventh Sister, what are you saying? Isn’t it normal for a brother to come and see his sister?”

Long Shadow tried his best to bridge the relationship.

“Hmm.”

Dragon Lan nodded in response.

“By the way, Seventh Sister, I want to ask you something.”

At this moment, Long Shadow asked subtly.

“What is it?”

Dragon Lan replied, not paying too much attention.

“I just wanted to ask, is the production line for the Sixth Generation Mecha in your hands?”

Long Shadow asked with a smile.

Sinrad, who was beside him, heard Long Shadow’s words, and a subtle gleam flashed in his eyes.

Dragon Lan was also startled, her heart fluctuating like the ocean.

She didn’t expect Long Shadow to ask about the Sixth Generation Mecha production line. She had never mentioned this to anyone else.

And why was Long Shadow asking about the Sixth Generation Mecha at this time? What did he want to do?

However, Dragon Lan quickly calmed down and directly denied it.

“It’s not with me. Also, why are you asking this?”

“Seventh Sister, you don’t need to worry. I’m just asking to have a clear idea.”

Long Shadow said with a smile.

In fact, Long Shadow had known for a long time that Council Speaker Long Xian had set up a production line for the Sixth Generation Mecha. He originally thought this production line was in the hands of his third brother, Dragon Dust.

But after his investigation, this production line was not in Dragon Dust’s hands. Later, he also considered that it might be in Dragon White’s hands.

However, Long Shadow then dismissed that idea. Given his father’s personality, he wouldn’t put all his eggs in one basket; he must have decentralized power. Dragon White already had enough power, so this production line was very likely in Dragon Lan’s hands. Even if it wasn’t in Dragon Lan’s hands, with her managing logistics, she must know something, big or small.

Dragon Lan listened to Long Shadow’s words and replied expressionlessly,

“Fifth Brother, I truly don’t know about this. You can ask Third Brother; maybe he knows something.”

“Alright, then Seventh Sister, you should know whose hands Father’s mecha is in, right?”

Seeing that Dragon Lan was unwilling to speak, Long Shadow changed the question.

“Fifth Brother, what exactly do you want to do?”

Dragon Lan frowned and replied cautiously.

“Seventh Sister, I’m asking these things for the sake of us three siblings, and also for our Long family. You’ve seen it, ever since Dragon White took charge of the Federation, the situation has been getting worse and worse. We can’t just stand by and watch. Besides, the three of us are the legitimate ones. Now, we really need to prepare for the worst.”

Long Shadow said to Dragon Lan.

Although Long Shadow didn’t explicitly state it due to Sinrad’s presence, he hinted to Dragon Lan that he was making the worst preparations. If Council Speaker Long Xian were to die, they would have to rely on themselves.

“Father’s mecha, I don’t know either. I guess only Gakels knows.”

Dragon Lan replied with a slightly softened expression.

“Alright.”

Long Shadow smiled and responded.

—

The next day.

Bright sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the hospital bed.

Su Ming was half-reclining on the bed, watching Irelia feed grapes to Little Grey.

Just then, a knock sounded.

Knock, knock!

“Come in!”

Su Ming called out.

The door opened, and Feilong and Jon walked in.

“Old Fei, it’s you two.”

Su Ming said with some surprise.

“We came to see you, to see if you’re feeling better.”

Feilong and Jon felt a bit constrained seeing Irelia was also there.

“Much better.”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

His body had been injected with the IV Type Genetic Drug, and his recovery ability far exceeded that of normal people.

Yesterday he still felt half-dead, but today he could barely move a little. He estimated he would recover completely soon.

“That’s good then.”

Feilong replied with a smile.

At this moment, Irelia’s wristband suddenly vibrated, and a message popped up.

Irelia glanced at it, her purple eyes flickering, and then said to Su Ming,

“Junior Su Ming, I have an urgent family matter that I need to go back and handle. I’m returning to the Federation first. You should rest well here.”

“Ah, you’re leaving so soon?”

Su Ming replied, also surprised.

“Yes, it’s quite urgent.”

Irelia nodded and replied.

“Alright, be careful on your way.”

Su Ming instructed Irelia.

“Mm, I’m leaving.”

Irelia hurriedly left the ward.

Su Ming gazed at Irelia’s retreating figure, somewhat lost in thought.

At this moment, Feilong, seeing Irelia leave, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with a serious expression,

“Su Ming, are you serious?”

“Is there a problem?”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

“No problem, I just think you’re incredibly awesome!”

Feilong and Jon gave Su Ming a thumbs-up, their expressions very impressed.

“Thanks for the compliment. By the way, what did you come to see me about?”

Su Ming said with a smile.

“Nothing really. We just came to check on you and to tell you that your mecha is severely damaged and needs to be sent back to Xiguang Laboratory for repairs.”

“I see. By the way, was the Thirteenth Corps’ loss severe this time?”

“Severe. Many people were killed or injured.”

Feilong replied in a deep voice.

“Sigh.”

Su Ming sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

“However, their sacrifice was not in vain. This time, we not only preserved the Tidal Star Sea but also successfully obtained 150 trillion units of supplies.”

Feilong consoled Su Ming.

“Mm.”

“Alright, we won’t disturb your rest anymore.”

“Okay!”

Su Ming nodded slightly.

Feilong and the other person then left.

At this moment, ONeill walked in with a fruit basket, grinning, and said to Su Ming.

“Boss, I’m here to see you.”

“Why do you have time to come over? Have all the post-war matters been arranged?”

Su Ming asked with concern.

“Boss, don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything properly.”

ONeill assured Su Ming.

“Alright, here, this is for you.”

Su Ming picked up his wallet, pulled out a special note from it, and handed it to ONeill.

ONeill took it and glanced at it, his eyes nearly popping out, and he blurted out.

“50 trillion?”

“Why are you so loud?”

Su Ming said, his mouth twitching.

ONeill quickly shut his mouth, suppressing his excitement, and said to Su Ming.

“Boss, isn’t it inappropriate for me to hold such a large amount of supplies?”

“You’re the logistics manager. If you don’t hold it, who will? This batch of supplies can be exchanged in Rainy City after returning to the Federation.”

Su Ming said to ONeill.

“Yes, yes, Boss, what type of supplies do you want to exchange it for? This note isn’t restricted by type.”

ONeill asked excitedly.

“I haven’t decided yet, but it will probably be exchanged for weapons and such.”

Su Ming replied after some thought.

“Understood.”

ONeill replied with a chuckle.

“Alright, you can go now. I need to rest.”

“Okay, I’ll be waiting at the door. You can call me anytime if you need anything.”

“Understood.”

Su Ming didn’t say anything else.

ONeill then respectfully withdrew.

Heramis Star Sea.

A crimson stream of light, moving at extreme speed, streaked across the starry sky, heading towards the distance.

At this moment, the empty starry sky in the distance suddenly rippled faintly, and a shimmering membrane appeared, followed by a crack opening in the membrane.

Whoosh!

The red stream of light entered the crack.

Instantly, the scene underwent a dramatic change.

The red stream of light instantly found itself in a vast universe, a pristine white stellar body coming into view. The entire star seemed like water, like ice, like crystal, extremely peculiar, and it emitted a super strong kais biological reaction.

The red stream of light flew at extreme speed towards that planet, entered its interior, and landed on a mirror-like lake.

Bang~

Immediately, countless crystal fragments, like dust, rose up.

Then, a figure walked out from the dust. This person was none other than Van Lo Divine Emperor.

He stood with his hands behind his back on the mirror-like lake surface.

Suddenly, countless ice crystals fell like snowflakes.

A young woman with skin like ice crystals, a light and elegant figure, eyes as cold as winter, exquisitely beautiful, and waist-length white hair, perfectly flawless, emerged from the lake surface. This young woman was Deputy Patriarch · Irinris (Hero Class) of Kirami.

At this moment, countless ice crystals gathered together to form an ice crystal throne.

Irinris sat directly on the throne, leaning against it with one hand supporting her cheek, her long, snowy white legs crossed.

“Van Lo, long time no see.”

Van Lo Divine Emperor greeted with a smile.

“Van Lo, have you come to me because the water resources I requested have been collected?”

Irinris asked indifferently.

“Not yet, the amount you need is simply too large.”

“I am about to evolve into my Imperial form and require a large amount of water. You must collect it, no matter what method you use.”

“Don’t worry about that, I have already had people collecting it. Give me some more time. Even if it ultimately cannot be fully collected, I will make up the difference with people.”

“I don’t want flesh and blood; they are impure.”

Irinris coldly rejected him.

Although Kirami does indeed devour flesh and blood, Irinris is somewhat different from ordinary Kirami. She devoured special crystals early on and evolved into a special form, thus no longer devouring flesh and blood.

This star, in fact, is Irinris’s true body.

“No problem, whatever you ask for, I will satisfy it all!”

Van Lo Divine Emperor replied very readily.

“Speak, why have you come to me?”

Irinris asked coolly.

“I have received news, and this news is definitely something you are very eager to know.”

Van Lo Divine Emperor walked up to Irinris, revealing a brilliant smile as he spoke.

“Tell me.”

Irinris replied with a cold tone.

“How can such important news be casually spoken?”

Van Lo Divine Emperor extended his right hand and touched Irinris’s chin.

The moment his hand touched Irinris’s skin, his entire right hand instantly froze into crystals.

Irinris raised her left hand and swept it.

Crack!

Van Lo Divine Emperor’s crystallized right hand instantly shattered.

“Why such a big temper?”

Van Lo Divine Emperor didn’t care, just smiled and took a step back. The wound on his broken arm wriggled for a moment, and a right hand instantly regenerated.

Irinris spoke coldly.

“Van Lo, this is just a warning. If you are still so frivolous next time, it won’t be as simple as just one hand.”

“Good!”

Van Lo Divine Emperor replied with a chuckle.

“Speak, what exactly is the news?”

Irinris asked coldly.

“Council Speaker Long Xian is very likely dead, and even if he isn’t, his situation is very bad.”

Van Lo Divine Emperor said to Irinris.

Irinris heard Van Lo’s words, a cold glint flashed in her icy eyes, and then she spoke.

“Van Lo, are you sure this news is reliable and accurate?”

“Confirmed. How could I joke about such a thing? Moreover, this intelligence was obtained from your sworn enemies, the Mechanical Clan.”

Van Lo Divine Emperor replied with a smile.

“Very good!”

Irinris replied with great satisfaction.

“However, Irinris, I’ve brought you such important news. In return, shouldn’t you also help me with something?”

“Speak, what do you want to do?”

“What I want is very simple: the Federation’s forces in the Tidal Star Sea are too arrogant.”

Van Lo Divine Emperor said with a smile.

“I understand.”

Irinris replied indifferently.

“Then thank you very much.”

“Do you have anything else? If not, then leave quickly.”

“Alright, see you next time!”

Van Lo smiled, turned, and left.

Soon after, a red light rose from the ground and rushed towards the universe.

Irinris quietly watched Van Lo leave in his mecha, then slowly raised her head and spoke coldly.

“Buchen!”

Whoosh!

Soon, a black tumor shimmering with a special halo fell from the sky and floated in front of Irinris.

The surface of the black tumor was covered with distorted, wailing human faces.

At this moment, Buchen activated the humanoid gene it had devoured internally, and its massive body rapidly compressed, transforming into a faceless humanoid state.

“Lady Irinris.”

VI Type Lord Class Kirami · Buchen let out a hoarse human voice.

“Van Lo brought a very important piece of news: Council Speaker Long Xian might be dying. In return, we need to strike and defeat the Federation forces entrenched in the Tidal Star Sea. However, I am currently at a critical stage of evolution and it’s not convenient for me to act personally.”

Irinris spoke coldly.

“I understand. I will go and destroy the Federation in the Tidal Star Sea.”

Buchen said hoarsely.

“No, doing so would be a bit risky. Van Lo’s words cannot be fully trusted.”

Irinris said coolly.

Although this was incredibly good news, Irinris did not fully trust Van Lo’s words and needed to test him.

“Lady Irinris, then what should I do?”

“There’s still a chess piece in the Tidal Star Sea that can be used to test him.”

“But Lady Irinris, I’m not confident.”

Buchen replied in a deep voice.

“Take this with you.”

Upon hearing this, Irinris took out a black crystalline heart and handed it to Buchen.

“Understood.”

Buchen reached out and took it, then turned and flew away.

— —

Several days later.

Inside a ward in Poseidon City.

Su Ming lay on the hospital bed, raising his bracelet to browse the Light Forum (Tidal Star Sea section).

The entire Light Forum interface was gray, with Arrebi’s obituary pinned at the top.

Although Arrebi’s ranking was much lower than Andefa’s, he was still a genuine Saint Eleanor Knights.

If Andefa’s death was like a corner of the sky collapsing, then Arrebi’s death was no less than a major earthquake.

The entire forum was about to explode, with countless posts constantly popping up.

“Oh my goodness, how is it Su Ming again?”

“Is that Su Ming a monster raised by the Federation?”

“I think he’s a demon, otherwise how could he have killed Andefa and Lord Arrebi?”

“It’s truly terrifying.”

Su Ming felt a headache looking at these posts. He was no longer simply famous in the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom; he was being treated as a monster and a demon, causing extreme panic.

Of course, Su Ming logged into the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom’s forum not to browse posts about himself.

He mainly wanted to see if there was any news about Lily.

After all, on the battlefield, Lily had defied orders and let him go, which was no small crime.

However, unfortunately, Su Ming browsed the forum for a long time and found no relevant information.

Knock knock~

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.

“Come in.”

Su Ming replied without looking up.

At this moment, Rhein and others walked in, wearing their freshly ironed military uniforms and smiling faces.

“Boss.”

“What is it?”

Su Ming replied while browsing the forum.

“Timmy and the others are here.”

Rhein and the others replied excitedly.

At this moment, Timmy and Marina and the others walked in, and they enthusiastically called out.

“Commander Su Ming.”

“Why are you here?”

Su Ming looked up at Timmy and the others, asking with some surprise.

“Commander Su Ming, have you forgotten? Today is the day of the celebration banquet.”

Marina said with a smile.

“Oh, I remember. How about you go without me?”

Su Ming replied, not very interested.

“How can that be? You are the main guest. If you don’t go, how can we explain it to Lady Alicia? Commander Su Ming, please go.”

Marina and the others pleaded pitifully.

“Alright, Rhein, you push me.”

Su Ming said with a wry smile.

“Okay, Boss!”

Rhein and the others replied excitedly.

Outside Poseidon Castle · Poseidon Plaza.

The spacious ground was covered with red carpets, adorned with various vibrant flowers, and exquisite decorations.

At the front of the plaza, a podium was set up, with long tables below, covered with white tablecloths, and laden with various exquisite delicacies, wines, and fruits.

Female soldiers, each wearing exoskeleton armor and looking heroic, stood in two neat rows at the entrance steps of the plaza.

The entire plaza was filled with guests attending the celebration banquet, chatting and laughing.

This time, not only the participating military officers were invited, but also all royal family members and nobles from the Neutral Countries within the Tidal Star Sea, as well as various celebrities and internet personalities from the Federation.

At the same time, Rainy City also invited many reporters for publicity. Reporters stood all along the edge of the plaza. Since there were too many participants this time, Rainy City did not hold the celebration banquet inside the castle. Instead, they chose the plaza outside the castle, which could accommodate more people.

At this moment, in a corner of the plaza, military officers from the various Federation legions responsible for the left wing battlefield gathered together, chatting and laughing.

Among them were Li Fubai, Li Haoyu, and Major General Li Lie.

“Brother Li Lie, I didn’t expect Rainy City’s celebration banquet to be so grand this time, and so high-class? This must cost a lot of money.”

A man wearing a major general’s uniform, with a face full of acne scars and rough skin, said with some surprise.

“Mokan, you don’t understand. Rainy City finally won a great victory, and it was a genuine great victory, much stronger than Sky Dome City’s pyrrhic victory. They definitely need to take the opportunity to publicize it widely. Isn’t this more prestigious than Sky Dome City?”

Li Lie explained to Mokan with a smile.

“That makes sense.”

Mokan smiled and replied.

At this moment, a group of female officers from Rainy City walked to a nearby leisure table, drinking cocktails and chatting cheerfully.

When Mokan saw them, his eyes lit up, and he said to Li Lie and the others.

“There are so many girls from Rainy City over there, all of them quite pretty. Let’s go chat with them.”

“Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

“What’s so bad about it? Everyone’s single. If we don’t take the initiative, we’ll really end up alone.”

“Alright!”

Li Lie replied with a smile.

Mokan and the others then walked towards that group of girls.

As they approached, ready to greet them, they heard the girls in front of them chatting and praising cheerfully.

“This time, it was really thanks to the Thirteenth Corps. They defeated the enemy forces on the right flank and arrived in time, otherwise the main battlefield would have been in trouble. They were truly amazing.”

“That’s right! Everyone in the Thirteenth Corps is so heroic!”

Li Lie, Mokan, and the others’ expressions instantly stiffened. They had also put in a lot of effort in this war, but everyone was praising the Thirteenth Corps.
