Su Mo saw that Crock didn’t say a word, so he didn’t say much more, just stood there with him.
A few minutes later, Crock broke the silence and said hoarsely.
"You’re right, we are companions."
At this moment, Crock truly acknowledged Su Mo.
Su Mo also genuinely revealed a slight smile and said to Crock: "That’s right. By the way, Crock, where are you from? Were you summoned here too?"
"No, I am from Habrian Country."
Crock replied expressionlessly.
"Never heard of that country!"
Su Mo also felt it was unfamiliar and replied subconsciously.
"Let’s not talk about that, I heard you were on the verge of losing control at the end; how has your recovery been?"
Crock changed the topic.
Hearing this, Su Mo also showed a wry smile and replied helplessly: "My life was saved, and my body has somewhat recovered. But what level it will truly recover to, that’s still unclear."
Crock gazed at the shocking polluted bloodstain on Su Mo’s body, his expression flickering, and he fell silent once more.
The two stood there, neither saying a word.
After a long while, Crock spoke to break the silence.
"I’m going back to rest, you should rest more too."
"Okay."
Su Mo nodded in agreement.

Star Ring City · Administrative Council Building.
Icaroya sat at the desk, coldly handling one document after another.
Looking closely, one could vaguely see the contents of the approvals, most of which involved repairs to Star Ring City, military distribution, and ammunition allocation.
Creak~
At this time, the closed door opened, and Goli walked in. She walked up to Icaroya and said.
"Sister."
"What’s the matter?"
Icaroya didn’t look up and replied in a very indifferent voice.
Goli bit her lip lightly, then said to Icaroya: "Sister, I heard you still want to carry out the strategic deployment of interchanging Radiant City and Star Ring City."
"What’s the problem? This was decided a long time ago."
Icaroya replied without difficulty.
"Sister, can you reconsider this matter? Star Ring City is so seriously damaged, it’s very dangerous to dispatch it to the front line. Why not let Radiant City continue to guard the front?"
"No need, I know what I’m doing."
"Sister, why are you unwilling to listen to my opinion?"
"Your opinion is worthless; why should I adopt your opinion?"
"Sister, what exactly do you want to do?"
"What I want to do doesn’t require your involvement. Once the interchange of Radiant City and Star Ring City is complete, you stay at Radiant City and don’t go anywhere."
"Sister!"
....
Outside the office, the two fully armed NCOs guarding the door showed rare expressions of concern as they listened to the argument inside the room.
They had never seen Lord Icaroya and Lady Goli argue before.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps approached, and Green Ghost walked over.
However, when Green Ghost heard the argument inside the office, he halted his steps, then stood quietly by the side, waiting.
After a long time, Goli walked out, extremely angry and annoyed.
Green Ghost respectfully bowed to Goli as she passed by, and after Goli left, he headed into the office.
Inside the office, Icaroya was still reviewing the documents, as if the argument never happened.
Green Ghost bowed to Icaroya and began to speak.
"Lord Icaroya, the statistics are complete, I’m here to report."
"Speak."
Icaroya paused her review, looked up with indifference, and replied.
Green Ghost then handed a document to Icaroya and said.
"The list of all legions and participants within Star Ring City has been compiled. They are categorized by reliability and strength, among which..."
Icaroya flipped through the list Green Ghost handed over while listening to his report.
After a considerable time, Green Ghost concluded his report.
It must be said that Green Ghost was indeed very reliable, without a single flaw in his work.
However, Icaroya still spoke coldly to Green Ghost.
"The people in the latter part of the list still need psychological and other tests. Those who don’t pass will be removed; we want not quantity, but a willful and unconditionally obedient elite."
"Yes!"
Green Ghost replied solemnly.
After giving her instructions, Icaroya placed the document in her drawer.
After doing so, Icaroya looked up and saw Green Ghost hesitating to speak, so she asked.
"Is there something else?"
"It’s like this, Lord Icaroya, Su Mo’s name is not on the candidate list you gave me. Su Mo’s indicators are excellent in every aspect. I’m wondering whether to add Su Mo to the list or not."
Green Ghost asked in a deep voice, knowing that asking this question was overstepping his bounds. But given Su Mo’s strength, adding him could greatly enhance their power.
Icaroya uncharacteristically fell into deep thought, and Green Ghost waited silently.
After several seconds, Icaroya replied faintly: "Su Mo’s matter will be set aside for now; I will handle it myself."
"Yes, then I’ll take my leave."
Green Ghost bowed to Icaroya and prepared to leave.
At this time, Icaroya called out to stop him.
"Wait."
"Lord Icaroya, do you have any other instructions?"
Green Ghost paused slightly and then asked.
Icaroya stood up, took out a map from a cupboard behind her, and handed it to Green Ghost.
Green Ghost glanced at it and said somewhat surprised.
