118: Chapter 118 Senior, please calm down.

Not long after, in the space outside the spaceship, countless dazzling searchlight beams wove into a net, locking onto this troop transport ship tightly.

The hundreds of other heavy military warships and Planet Annihilator Cannons that had originally surrounded Yellow Sand Planet turned their muzzles, encircling the troop transport ship completely!

The dense formation of warships formed an inescapable steel cage.

Su Wu opened his eyes and, through the damaged porthole, quietly watched the stern steel formation outside.

He did not flee.

There was not even a hint of panic in his eyes.

"If you want to make a move, I wouldn't mind killing a few more." Su Wu touched the white dragon warblade that had suddenly appeared in his hand, a cold arc curling at the corner of his mouth.

However, time ticked by second by second.

Although those warships had tightly surrounded the spaceship and their main cannons had finished charging, not a single ship dared to fire first.

The entire space fell into an eerie stalemate.

Why?

Because at this very moment, inside the largest ship, the Planet Annihilator Ship acting as the fleet flagship...

In the highest-level holographic tactical conference room, cold sweat had already soaked the backs of the uniforms of all the Advanced officers present.

Several men in military uniforms with cultivation at the fifth or sixth stage of the Star Emperor Realm were huddled tightly around the tactical analysis desk.

They stared fixedly at the battlefield data and video fragments that had just been compiled and restored on the screen, their faces pale as paper.

"This... this is impossible!"

An officer rubbed his temples and said with some astonishment: "Among that group of external cannon fodder we sent down... there was actually such a level of monster hidden?!"

On the tactical light screen, Su Wu's earth-shattering "Final Form: Sever All" was clearly replaying!

That ultimate strike, a Fusion of sixth-stage fire and lightning! That peerless demeanor that cleaved a thousands-foot Half-Step Domain Lord level demon god in two!

"Lin Na is truly a piece of shit, a useless idiot!!!"

Another officer slammed a fist hard onto the alloy tabletop, his eyes bloodshot: "An existence capable of forcing a Half-Step Domain Lord demon god into a desperate situation single-handedly! Is this the kind of person you can just recruit as cannon fodder?!"

This Lin Na is just a self-righteous idiot, actually ordering to fire and steal the kill at the most critical moment when the other party was about to slay the demon god!

Not only did she steal the kill, but the aftermath of that Planet Annihilator Cannon clearly severely injured this fierce man! This is courting death!

"If she wanted to die, that's one thing, but she's dragging our entire 40th Star Sector Border Defense Force down with her!" the officer in the main seat gritted his teeth and said.

The rage of a Half-Step Domain Lord—let alone their border defense fleet, even if the District Chief of the 40th Star Sector came, he would have to weigh the consequences!

Once war broke out, even if they could rely on the fleet's firepower to blast him to death, his final counterattack before dying would definitely take more than half of the warships present with him to the grave!

Furthermore, a Prodigy of this level very likely has some extremely terrifying power behind him that even the military cannot afford to provoke!

"What do we do? Do we fight or not?" the person beside him said, cold sweat streaming down.

"Fight my ass!" The officer in charge took a deep breath and made a decision with extreme decisiveness: "Immediately disarm all main cannons! Follow me... to beg for forgiveness!"

A few minutes later.

Several streams of light exuding the aura of a Star Emperor flew out from that largest Planet Annihilator Ship and cautiously landed inside the damaged troop transport ship.

When they stepped into the bridge, which was like a slaughterhouse, the strong smell of blood made them unable to help but frown.

But when their eyes touched upon the man sitting on the command chair, his whole body exuding a cold aura that warned others to stay away, these high-and-mighty border defense officers did not hesitate at all.

"Thump!" Several people knelt on one knee in perfect unison on the blood-stained deck, lowering their posture to the lowest point, their voices filled with awe and panic.

"Greetings, Senior!"

Su Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at this group of men wearing Advanced military officer uniforms with some surprise.

"Oh?"

Su Wu extended a finger and pointed extremely casually at Lin Na's charred, broken corpse not far away, his tone carrying a trace of playful mockery: "I just killed your military commander. You aren't seeking revenge, but instead kneeling to me?"

The one leading them was clearly an old fox who had been through the political grinder and had extremely high emotional intelligence.

He didn't even glance at Lin Na's corpse, and spoke loudly in an extremely sycophantic yet righteous manner:

"Senior, calm your anger! We in the border defense force are all people who can distinguish right from wrong and are not unreasonable! We have already understood the sequence of events clearly!"

"All of this was because that idiot Lin Na was greedy for merit and acted recklessly! She actually dared to order the cannons to fire at the critical moment when Senior was slaying the demon god, almost accidentally harming Senior's precious body!"

The man cursed indignantly, as if Lin Na were his sworn enemy: "Such conduct is simply a disgrace to the military! Senior cleaning up the house for us and killing her is just her reaping what she sowed; she deserves to die! We are too grateful to even express it, how could we dare to be the slightest bit disrespectful to Senior!"

This extremely smooth act of shifting the blame made even Su Wu unable to help but give a mental thumbs-up.

Able to bend and stretch; these soldiers were really something else.

Since the other party had lowered their posture so much and was completely in an attitude of wanting to settle the matter, Su Wu couldn't be bothered to pursue it further.

After all, his current state was not good, and he didn't want to fight to the death with an entire fleet.

"That's enough. Save the flattery."

Su Wu knew when to stop; he leaned back against the chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, and spat out a few words indifferently:

"Since you aren't here to look for trouble, then, what about the reward I am owed?"

"That pass?"

The officers looked at each other upon hearing this, their faces immediately showing an extremely awkward expression.

One of them swallowed a mouthful of saliva and, biting the bullet, said respectfully:

"Senior, please understand. We would absolutely never dare to withhold Senior's reward! It's just... that Star Domain pass belongs to Advanced-level supplies for the Federation. We front-line generals have no authority to issue it at all."

Seeing Su Wu's eyes turn cold instantly, the ambient temperature dropping sharply, the man was so scared he shivered all over and hurriedly explained, speeding up his speech:

"Senior, calm your anger! The issuance of the pass must be confirmed with the personal seal of the District Chief of the Star Sector! This matter... I am afraid it still requires troubling Senior to condescend and accompany us back to No. 3 Border Fortress Planet to report."

Speaking up to here, the officer seemed to feel that his words sounded a bit like he was "escorting" a suspect, and cold sweat instantly broke out.

He wished he could slap himself and hurriedly added:

"Senior, please do not misunderstand! It is absolutely not an interrogation! It's just... just going through the motions to let the District Chief confirm the situation on the battlefield, and by the way, personally hand the pass to you!!"

Su Wu narrowed his eyes, staring at this group of officers walking on thin ice for a few seconds.

He knew the other party was telling the truth; this kind of Advanced-level pass really couldn't just be carried around casually.

"Lead the way."

Su Wu stood up and threw out a cold sentence: "You had better not play any tricks on me."

"We wouldn't dare! Absolutely not! Senior, please!" The officers, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly stood up and led Su Wu onto the Planet Annihilator Ship.
