He then realized what Wittaker had said, and the atmosphere became very awkward. He quickly laughed and said, "I was just kidding, don't take it to heart."

Su Mo was about to vomit blood. He truly believed that he wasn't afraid of god-like opponents, but rather pig-like teammates. Why did this guy have to bring that up?

Tous quickly changed the subject, saying to Su Mo and the others, "Are you here for the mission too?"

"Yes, that's right. By the way, what are you guys doing here? I thought you were at the front lines."

Su Mo chatted casually, following Tous's lead.

"We didn't go to the front lines. Since the Fifth Army was established, we were transferred to the Fifth Army to serve as instructors. There's not much to do now, so we're basically just giving lessons to those little bastards in the destroyer."

Wittaker explained.

"That's alright."

Su Mo nodded.

"Actually, there's no difference. Sooner or later, the Fifth Army will go to the front lines too."

"That's true."

......

Just as Su Mo and the others were chatting, a slightly surprised and unexpected voice rang out.

"Su Mo?"

Su Mo and the others were slightly stunned and turned their heads to look.

They saw Jiang Hanqiu, dressed in a military uniform, passing by. She called out, sounding somewhat uncertain.

"Jiang Hanqiu?"

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were also extremely surprised.

"It really is you."

Jiang Hanqiu's tense face revealed a warm smile.

At this moment, Wittaker and Tous straightened up and saluted Jiang Hanqiu, saying, "Greetings, Vice-Captain!"

Hearing Wittaker's greeting, Su Mo's expression became even more astonished. He said to Jiang Hanqiu, "Not bad, you've done so well in just a few years! You've become the vice-captain of a destroyer. Doesn't that make you the vice-commander of the Fifth Army?"

"It's alright."

Jiang Hanqiu replied with a smile.

"What do you mean 'alright'? You're amazing! You're doing even better than Xiao Wen now. It's really been ten years east of the river, ten years west of the river."

Su Mo couldn't help but tease her.

He knew how hard Xiao Wen had worked, risking his life so many times, plus his help, and he had only managed to become the commander of a patrol fleet.

But Jiang Hanqiu had already climbed to the position of deputy commander of the Fifth Expeditionary Army, while concurrently serving as the vice-captain of a destroyer.

The level difference was a bit too big.

Jiang Hanqiu shook her head and explained to Su Mo, "It's not what you think. The reason I have such a high position isn't because I'm better than Lord Xiao Wen. It's just because I have formal training, while Lord Xiao Wen doesn't. Otherwise, with Lord Xiao Wen's talent, he would have achieved even greater things by now."

Jiang Hanqiu sounded very regretful at the end.

Su Mo was taken aback after hearing this. Formal training? There was such a thing?

However, he guessed that it wasn't just about the two words "formal training." The reason behind it must be very complicated. In simple terms, it should be due to some kind of factional reason.

Of course, Su Mo's EQ wasn't so low as to ask about those things.

"Don't say that. I think your talent in ship command is also very outstanding. After all, you're a professional in this area. I remember that back during the Earth Cup, you were already commanding large weapons, fighting all over the sea. I think you're qualified to be not just a vice-captain, but even a captain."

Su Mo smiled and changed the topic.

Hearing this, Jiang Hanqiu couldn't help but sigh and say, "Actually, I did compete for the position of destroyer captain, but unfortunately, it was taken by someone with even bigger connections."

"Ah?"

Su Mo was a bit dumbfounded after hearing this.

"It was just a little bit short. It's such a pity. You don't know how powerful the destroyer Phantom Flower's performance is."

Jiang Hanqiu was incredibly regretful when she said this.

Su Mo's mouth twitched as he listened. He thought to himself that it was a good thing you didn't get selected for the position of destroyer captain. Otherwise, it would be troublesome when I suddenly recover the ship after you get used to it.

After all, we're going to see each other sooner or later, so it would be awkward. This is pretty good.

However, although Su Mo thought so in his heart, he still complained along with her.

"Who has such powerful connections that they were able to take your spot?"

"The sister of the Speaker of the Arlais Council. There's nothing I can do."

Jiang Hanqiu finally had someone to confide in. In fact, she was really unconvinced. After all, she felt that her talent in commanding ships was definitely superior to the other person.

"That's a fair loss. Don't be discouraged. This might be a good thing."

Su Mo was also very surprised. He didn't expect that sexy beauty to be Arlais's sister. He hadn't noticed it at all before.

At this moment, the low voice of the Falsified Creator · Devourer sounded, saying to Su Mo, "Find a way to steal the Negative God Fragment."

"Am I that kind of person? How am I going to explain it to Arlais if I steal it? It's obvious that this thing is definitely more valuable than a destroyer. I estimate that if the Federation takes this fragment, they can instantly exchange it for good things from the City of Star Ring or the old man."

Su Mo had figured it out.

"Then you have to think of a way. You can't just spit out the fat meat that's already in your mouth, right? Besides, with just you guys, you can't bring out its true potential."

The Falsified Creator · Devourer still said, unwilling to give up.

"No, no, I'm a person of principle. Unless the destroyer gets blown up, then there's a chance I won't return it to the Federation. You can't expect me to pray for my own ship to get blown up, right?"

Su Mo's mouth twitched as he replied.

"Then you find a way to blow up the ship."

The Falsified Creator · Devourer was simply going to insane lengths to achieve its goal.

Su Mo's expression was also exceptionally wonderful.

Jiang Hanqiu saw that Su Mo's expression was a bit strange, and assumed that he was feeling sorry for her not getting the captain's position. She smiled and said to Su Mo, "Actually, it's pretty good now. If I didn't get selected, I didn't get selected. There will be opportunities in the future!"

"Yes, yes, that's right."

Su Mo quickly agreed.

Just then, a sound of footsteps came, and Tia, looking lazy and enchanting, walked over with a group of people.

She saw the group of people gathered together at a glance.

Jiang Hanqiu and the others naturally also saw Tia. The smile on her face immediately faded, and she became expressionless again.

As she passed by, Tia stopped and said to Jiang Hanqiu with a smile.

"Vice-Captain, remember to send me the statistical report I asked for later. I'm waiting to see it."

"Understood."

Jiang Hanqiu replied indifferently.

Tia wasn't annoyed by Jiang Hanqiu's coldness and walked past with a smile.

Leaving behind a very pleasant scent of perfume.

Sun Duoxiang looked at Tia's leaving figure, drool almost flowing out, and whispered to Su Mo, "Boss, that captain looks even sexier up close. Her figure is even hotter."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Su Mo quickly kicked Sun Duoxiang. That was the commander of the Fifth Expeditionary Army, Arlais's sister. He was tired of living if he was making fun of her.

Sun Duoxiang finally came back to his senses and quickly shut his mouth.
