Monts later, Su Ming arrived at the Starshine Castle.
The entire interior of the Starshine Castle was bustling with activity, and officers were handling matters everywhere.
Su Ming headed towards Long Bai’s office. The guards along the way saluted and let him through upon seeing Su Ming.
Su Ming quickly reached the door of Long Bai’s office and saw Mo Xiu sitting on a waiting chair with a helpless expression.
Su Ming hesitated for a mont and then walked over to greet him.
"Lord Mo Xiu."
"Su Ming, are you alright? I heard you were hospitalized?"
Mo Xiu was surprised to see Su Ming.
"I’m fine now."
Su Ming replied with a smile.
"That’s good to hear. I truly have to thank you this ti. If it weren’t for your tily intervention, things would have been dire."
Mo Xiu said gratefully.
"There’s no need to be so formal. I actually admire your Sky Do City troops very much. You deserve the primary credit for winning this war."
Su Ming responded courteously.
Naturally, these words weren’t just flattery. Despite the fact that the people from Sky Do City were not the sharpest and hard to manage, in other aspects, they were beyond reproach.
Among all the legion battles he had witnessed, the people from Sky Do City charged the fiercest and never backed down.
Mo Xiu, hearing this, could only chuckle bitterly, uncertain of what to say.
At this point, Su Ming, pretending to be unaware, asked.
"Lord Mo Xiu, why are you sitting here?"
"Sigh, I’m here to plead for Luo Kui, but Long Bai refuses to see , so I can only wait here."
Mo Xiu replied helplessly.
Upon hearing Mo Xiu’s words, Su Ming realized sothing. The people from the Divine Word Court were well-known for being ruthless and devoid of humanity. However, with Long Bai’s status, she should have so influence or contacts.
Additionally, defying the Council’s orders was a serious offense, and in harsh terms, it’s not unreasonable to talk about execution, so pleading was indeed necessary.
"Uh, how about I find an opportunity later to say a few good words in front of the Legion Commander?"
Su Ming suggested after thinking for a mont.
After all, they had fought side by side before.
"Alright, I’ll leave it to you then."
Mo Xiu thanked him.
"I’ll go in first then."
After saying that, Su Ming walked up to the door of Long Bai’s office and raised his hand to knock.
"Knock, knock!"
"Co in!"
A cold voice ca from inside the office.
Su Ming pushed the door open and walked in.
He saw Long Bai sitting at the desk, her head lowered, processing docunts.
Su Ming walked up to Long Bai, saluted, and said.
"Legion Commander."
Long Bai put down the pen in her hand, raised her head, and looked at Su Ming to ask.
"How is your health?"
"There’s nothing much. The doctor said a three-month rest would be fine."
Su Ming reported to Long Bai.
Hearing this, Long Bai said to Su Ming.
"Alright, I’ll grant you a three-month long leave. Go back to the Third Planet and rest well. If you feel unwell, go to the Xi Guang Laboratory and find Dr. Blakes."
"Okay."
Su Ming nodded in agreent.
"Also, here are your dals for this battle and the military comndation report. Take it back and follow the process."
Long Bai handed over a box and a docunt to Su Ming.
"Alright!"
Su Ming accepted them, opened the box for a glance, and saw three Moon Badges and seven Star Badges inside, two of which were Dark Red Moon Badges, corresponding to the two V-generation Biological chas he defeated.
It was unfortunate he didn’t take down Agolotto; that one would definitely earn a Sun Badge.
The military comndation report marked 9000 rits, including rewards for killing Vice Admiral Muk.
Just then, Long Bai coldly continued to speak to Su Ming.
"Moreover, I have sothing else for you."
"What is it?"
Su Ming asked with a serious expression.
"This ti when you go back, escort Ilyas to the Xi Guang Laboratory for maintenance, and escort Luoqi Commander back for his trial."
Long Bai instructed Su Ming.
After hearing her words, Su Ming hesitated for a mont before saying.
"Legion Commander, although Luo Kui defied orders, we did win the war; couldn’t the punishnt be lighter?"
After hearing Su Ming’s words, Long Bai looked at him and said.
"Everyone should be accountable for their actions."
"Alright then."
Su Ming responded sowhat awkwardly.
"Go now!"
Long Bai said coldly.
"I shall take my leave then."
Su Ming said and turned to leave.
As he exited the office, Mo Xiu approached urgently and asked.
"Su Ming!"
"Lord Mo Xiu, you’re still here?"
Su Ming was a bit surprised, not expecting Mo Xiu to still be around.
"How did it go?"
Mo Xiu asked with a bitter smile.
"You might want to be ntally prepared. I spoke on behalf of Lord Luo Kui, but Long Bai’s stance is that everyone must take responsibility for their actions."
Su Ming relayed the exact words to Mo Xiu.
"I understand, thank you."
Mo Xiu sighed deeply upon hearing this.
"Sorry, I couldn’t help much. I have things to attend to, so I must go now."
"Take care!"
"Alright!"
Su Ming nodded slightly and turned to leave.
...
Three days later.
