Chapter 812: Chapter 622: Division
Accompanied by a tremor, the escort ship’s antigravity system activated, and the vessel began to ascend.
The rear jet ignited, and the entire ship soared towards the sky.
Golory piloted the IV generation Biological cha and followed without saying a word.
Inside the escort ship’s dical room, Spade said to Su Mo, “The escort ship has returned, in an hour at most, we will be back on the Black Brilliance. By then, you can receive the best dical treatnt.”
“I’m fine, Lord Spade, did we win the battle? Is everyone okay?”
Su Mo weakly asked, his first question sowhat rhetorical, as he truly wanted to know the answer to the second.
Spade heard Su Mo’s inquiry, his steadfast face showing a hint of complexity, he said to Su Mo, “To be precise, we haven’t won; we lost thoroughly. But in reality, we were very fortunate, an unidentified presence barged into the battlefield and wiped out the enemy, allowing us to claim victory. As for the others, you don’t have to worry, Qian Chengxue, Shiris, and others are fine. However, due to the high-intensity piloting of IV generation Biological Machines, their bodies have suffered so contamination, and they are undergoing treatnt now.”
Su Mo let out a silent sigh of relief upon hearing this.
“That’s good.”
Spade shook his head and said, “It’s not entirely good; many of our comrades sacrificed themselves. The number of casualties cannot be accurately calculated yet. But preliminary estimates suggest it’s the highest in history. However, it doesn’t matter, their sacrifice wasn’t in vain; these resources are ours now!”
“Hmm.”
Su Mo replied, sounding slightly somber.
Seeing Su Mo was not very uplifted, Spade comforted him, “People always look forward; once you return, take good care of your injuries! When you’re healed, there’s a surprise waiting for you.”
“Thank you, Lord Spade.”
Su Mo didn’t take it to heart either, feeling a bit lancholic. Even though Spade didn’t say it outright, Su Mo could guess that too many had sacrificed.
….
Several days later, Su Mo lay in a private hospital room, with the most advanced dical equipnt beside the bed.
An experienced old doctor was instructing nearby doctors on so treatnt matters.
One among them was Lan Xi, who listened quietly to the instructions.
“Every hour, perform a pollution test on Commander Su Mo. If any rebound is detected, report imdiately.”
“Yes!”
The doctors present responded promptly.
Feeling much better ntally, Su Mo asked, “Doctor, may I ask you sothing?”
“Please go ahead, Lord Su Mo.”
The lead old doctor replied very politely.
“When can I be discharged?”
“Lord Su Mo, your priority right now isn’t that, but to rest and recover quietly. If any lingering issues are accidentally left… what then?”
The lead old doctor earnestly advised Su Mo.
Being advised made Su Mo feel a headache, he could only nod and agree repeatedly.
“Alright….”
Seeing this scene, Lan Xi couldn’t help but laugh a little; she rarely saw Su Mo look so embarrassed.
After a short while, the old doctor left, and Lan Xi no longer had to hold back, she said with a smile, “My ntor is very strict. She won’t let you be discharged before your body fully recovers, not even a ntion.”
“I understand.”
Su Mo responded, feeling discomfort.
“Moreover, given your current physical state, going out is of no use. The Black Brilliance is undergoing ergency maintenance now; it’s a complete ss outside, and I heard that the leadership is negotiating so important matters.”
“Negotiating so matters?”
Su Mo was slightly taken aback.
“I’m not sure about the specifics, but it’s said to be about resource distribution. Also, speaking of which, the hospital entrance is almost blocked, loads of people want to visit, including more than five hundred people who applied to see you; they were all rejected by my ntor.”
Lan Xi said to Su Mo.
Upon hearing that so many wanted to see him, Su Mo instantly felt a bad premonition, as if history was repeating itself.

—————————————
Inside a special conference room on the Black Brilliance.
Beilo gathered with a group of key figures, including Spade.
Everyone took their seats, each with expressions of joy, a stark contrast to the previous defeat.
Li Ruiqi spoke first, “Lord Beilo invited you all here today for the division of spoils and resources. It may be a bit rushed, but I think everyone must be eager, right?”
“Indeed, we risked our lives for this mont.”
Beilo candidly admitted.
“Then I’ll briefly state the current situation: there are four 2nd-level Resource Stars, one 3rd-level Resource Star, wreckage of a fallen 5th-level ship, remains of a fallen Fake V Generation cha, one living Insect King, and various other spoils.”
Li Ruiqi ticulously laid out all the most valuable spoils.
Beilo’s expression gradually grew solemn; as the saying goes, interests move people’s hearts.
Throughout history, many have shared hardships, but when it cos to dividing interests, not few turn on each other.
Nevertheless, even in such situations, the benefits that need to be fought for must be fought for.
Beilo smiled and said, “Lord Li Ruiqi, that Insect King was a prior agreent. Besides, we employed the Titan’s Spear; there shouldn’t be any dispute over this.”
Li Ruiqi smiled back and replied, “Lord Beilo, you’re right. Capturing the Insect King was largely due to your Titan’s Spear. But isn’t it true that during the confrontation with the Insect King and the subsequent battle, our people also made considerable efforts, even though the final enemy wasn’t defeated by us.”
