Just then, Derain rushed over and said to Collett and the others,

"Something bad has happened! We've been targeted by a VI-type heroic Star Devouring Beast, a Gogel of Light! The Shadow of Calamity can't shake it off at all! What should we do?"

Su Mo's expression didn't change upon hearing this. He knew very well that Collett and his gang were like dogs, with extremely keen insight. As long as you show the slightest abnormality, they will be able to catch it and control you completely.

At this time, Katule and the others also kept silent, as if they were ready to perish together.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Derain was also dumbfounded. He even wondered if he hadn't made himself clear.

"My lords? The situation is really urgent. The shield strength of the Shadow of Calamity has dropped by more than fifty points. If this continues and the shield is shattered, we'll be in danger!"

Derain said cautiously, forcing himself to stay calm.

"Hmph, is it that serious?"

Collett sneered.

"Yes, my lord, the situation is really critical!"

Derain said quickly.

Collett then turned his gaze to Su Mo and said coldly, "Su Mo, I remember you were clamoring before that you were the vice-captain. Now that the ship is under attack, shouldn't you, the vice-captain, go up and command?"

Derain quickly looked at Su Mo with a hopeful expression. Now that the ship was under attack, as long as someone could stand up, he didn't care who it was.

Su Mo stared at Collett and replied expressionlessly,

"Don't you think it's funny? You didn't admit my status as vice-captain before, but now you're bringing it up yourself. Do you think I'll listen to you? Whoever wants to go can go."

"Tch, just say you're afraid of death, don't use that as an excuse. You're not qualified to be a vice-captain at all. You got here by sucking up."

Atik directly ridiculed.

"Okay, if you admit my status as vice-captain, then I'll tell you to go, and you'll have to go!"

Su Mo counterattacked unceremoniously.

Actually, it wasn't that Su Mo didn't want to fight and solve the problem, but that he didn't dare to leave here.

He was worried that Collett and his gang would take advantage of the attack to play tricks on the old man, so he absolutely wouldn't leave.

Collett and the others' faces immediately darkened.

"You don't want to obey orders, but you want me to stand up for you? Do you really think I'm a three-year-old?"

Su Mo crossed his legs, acting as if it was none of his business.

Collett then turned his head to look at Katule.

Katule wouldn't give him a good look either. He said directly,

"What are you looking at me for? I'm not going either. Don't think about ordering us around. If you have the ability, go up yourself."

"I don't care, anyway, everyone is on the ship."

Collett couldn't be manipulated either.

"Then what's there to say? Let's just wait it out."

Su Mo replied, not caring at all.

Sun Duo Xiang was dumbfounded by this scene. An absurd thought arose in his mind.

Could it be that such an awesome warship is just going to sink like this?

If that really happened, it would be a complete joke.

Rumble~

Suddenly, the entire Shadow of Calamity ship shook violently again. At this time, the doors opened, and Anasen couldn't help but walk out.

He looked at Su Mo and the other four and said, "My lords, are you just going to let the ship be attacked like this?"

"Anasen, you don't need to say anymore. Even if you talk until the end of time, I won't go."

Collett directly stated.

"It's not like anyone's afraid of anyone."

Katule mocked.

"I'm not going either!"

Admore also stretched lazily.

Each one was more ruthless than the last.

At this time, Derain was completely anxious. He pleaded quickly,

"My lords, we really can't delay any longer. If we delay any longer, the ship will really be finished!"

Unfortunately, everyone was still unmoved.

Anasen really had no choice. He turned to look at Su Mo and tried to persuade him,

"Lord Su Mo, why don't you make a trip? If something really happens to the Shadow of Calamity, you will also be affected."

"I have no problem with overseeing the situation, but if I'm not mistaken, the one attacking the Shadow of Calamity should be an agile monster, right?"

Su Mo replied calmly.

"That's right, my lord is right. The one attacking the Shadow of Calamity is a VI-type heroic Star Devouring Beast, a Gogel of Light. It's super fast."

Derain replied quickly.

"So, it's not very useful if I'm the only one commanding. How about this, you have those four listen to my command and go out to hold it back. That way, I can command the Shadow of Calamity to eliminate it."

"Why should we listen to you? You command, and we go out to fight!"

Collett replied coldly.

"We're all on the ship, and it's not like I'm the only one being attacked. Everyone contributes, it's very fair."

Su Mo replied shamelessly.

"Bullshit!"

Katule was also half-dead with anger.

"You can't do this, you can't do that. Lord Anasen, you've seen it too. It's not that I'm not giving face, it's that they're not giving face."

Su Mo shrugged and said.

Anasen was silent for a while, then opened his mouth to persuade,

"Lord Collett, Lord Katule, Lord Atik, Lord Admore, why don't you four also take a step back?"

"How can we step back? This is completely unfair."

Katule replied angrily.

"Then what would be fair?"

Anasen asked quickly.

"If we all go out to fight together, I have no objection."

Katule's expression changed for a while, then he gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes, if we all go out to fight together, I have no objection either."

Atik and Admore also stated very simply.

"Alright."

Su Mo also took a step back. He knew very well that it would be impossible for him to command these people to fight.

Collett's expression changed for a while, and finally he compromised and said, "Okay! Then let's all go out to fight together."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Anasen replied respectfully.

So, Su Mo and the other five stood up at the same time and walked towards their respective hangar areas. Of course, their respective subordinates didn't move, but continued to confront each other.

Seeing this, Derain also breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

.....

Not long after, Su Mo arrived at the private hangar area that the old man had assigned to him.

The Mad Eye Reinhope was quietly located here. In addition, the Apostle of God and the God Guard · Modified mechas were also present.

Candy and the others saw Su Mo appear and steered their mechas to meet him.

"Boss, you're here."

"Yes, you guys continue to stand by here."

"Okay, no problem, but what are you going to do, boss?"

Candy asked steadily.

"I'm going to go out and intercept the attacking Star Devouring Beast."

"Then let's go with you."

"No need, you guys just stay here. If Sun Duo Xiang gives you any signals, you go there as soon as possible. As for me, you don't need to worry. It's not just me going out to fight. Besides, we're intercepting, not killing. We just need to intercept for a while and let the Shadow of Calamity shake off the enemy."

Su Mo explained simply.

"Understood, then you must be careful."

Candy replied in a deep voice.

Su Mo nodded slightly, then climbed onto the Mad Eye Reinhope.

Just after Su Mo entered the cockpit, he called out,

"Ilyes."

At this time, a silver bell-like laughter sounded.

"Hehe, I'm here."

Hearing Ilyes's voice, Su Mo's tense nerves relaxed a lot. He said to Ilyes,

"I need your power."

"Little Devourer isn't here?"

Ilyes keenly noticed the problem.

"It's injured and can't participate in the battle."

Su Mo replied in a low voice.

"That's really a pity, but it doesn't matter, I'm here! Let me lend you my power!"

Ilyes made a pleasant sound.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Su Mo replied in a deep voice.

ps: Happy New Year everyone!
