Chapter 913

After a friendly chat with Gu Ding, Casares and Estory left with the Abyss Devils and Protoss teams. This was something that many onlookers did not expect.

"They're leaving just like that? They didn't even make a move … "

"What happened to the big battle?! Why do I only see the three parties having a friendly chat with smiles on their faces?! "

"The Protoss and the Abyss Devils are too cowardly!"

"Sigh, the Gu Ding Pirates are invincible in the Grand Cosmic Sea …"

Gu Ding and the others naturally did not care about what the onlookers thought. They just waited silently for the territory refinement to be completed.

In the past few days, the video of the battle between the Gu Ding Pirates and the Zerg Apex Legion had spread throughout the Grand Cosmic Sea.

Dozens of versions of the video had been clicked countless times.

The most shocking one was Gu Ding's final move of crushing all the members of the Zerg Apex Legion.

Before the battle, many people had questioned why Gu Ding had the ability to be the captain of the Gu Ding Pirates. After watching the video, everyone recognized Gu Ding's strength.

"He's so f * cking bold!"

"So brutal, but I like it!"

"After watching Gu Ding's video, why do I feel like most of the captains of other pirate crews are sissies?"

"With such a strong captain, it's no wonder that the crew members are so strong."

"Gu Ding, I want to have your babies …" There were even many men who posted such sensational comments on Skynet.

In an instant, the reputation of the Gu Ding Pirates soared, and they occupied the headlines of all major networks for a few days.

The Zerg Tribe was one of the Three Apex Tribes, and they were the most greedy and notorious among them. Such a Waterloo led to all kinds of cheers on the Internet. Almost all the ordinary people of the major tribes supported the Gu Ding Pirates one-sidedly.

However, compared to the excitement and cheers of the outside world, it was the humans who were worried.

The higher-ups of the Human Tribe held an emergency meeting as soon as they found out about the video.

Reed was one of the participants in the meeting.

The person who presided over the meeting was the chief of staff of the Human Tribe in the Grand Cosmic Sea — Jeffree.

Geoffrey was a silver-haired, conservatively dressed old man. He always wore a black tuxedo, with a white shirt inside tied to the top of the collar. Everyone often saw that his collar was deeply embedded in the slightly wrinkled flesh of his neck, as if he was strangling himself to death.

Of course, it was not only his clothes that were conservative, but also his way of life. His usual way of dealing with situations was to make concessions, and he rarely argued with the outside world. However, he would usually treat his own people harshly.

However, as the leader of external affairs, very few people dared to object to his decisions.

In front of the conference table, Jeffree was still in his black suit, standing at the head of the table.

Seeing that he was standing, the others didn't dare to sit, and they all stood in front of the chairs.

"Since everyone is here, please take a seat!" Jeffree's gaze swept across everyone present. There was no joy or sorrow on his face. This was also his most common poker face.

After everyone sat down, he remained standing, which made many people feel uneasy.

"Play the clearest video," Jeffree turned his head and said to his assistant.

Jeffree's assistant was a young man who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was dressed very neatly, and he looked very energetic and capable. After receiving the order, he immediately projected a three-dimensional video from his intelligent wristwatch.

In the video, the battle between the Gu Ding Pirates and the Zerg Tribe was fully shown.

Even the final scene of Gu Ding's bloody suppression of the Zerg Tribe's Pinnacle Legion was shown in detail. It was obvious that the person who recorded the video was a professional. This video was also the clearest one among the dozens of videos shot from different angles. It was also the one with the highest click rate.

The video had just been released, and the Federal Government staff did not have much time to browse Skynet. It was the first time most people saw the video, and many of them were a little shocked. This included Reed, who had been busy sorting out the information on Heinoas Graveyard.

It was also Reed's first time watching the video. When he saw the last scene, he was a little stunned. It was also the first time he had seen such a brutal side to Gu Ding.

"I'm sure many of you didn't see this video because you were busy today. Now that you've seen it, how do you feel?" Jeffree's gaze swept across the crowd. From the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, he could tell that it was indeed the first time most of them had seen the video. His gaze quickly stopped on Reed, who had a thoughtful expression on his face. "Reed, you're the most familiar with Gu Ding in the Federal Government. Tell us what you think."

"Sir Speaker, can I see the rest of the video?" Reed did not answer Jeffree's question immediately. Instead, he looked at the paused projection.

Jeffree turned his head and nodded at his assistant.

The assistant clicked the play button again and played the video of Gu Ding killing the Zerg.

In the video, the Abyss Devils and the Protoss appeared one after another. After talking to Gu Ding, they left separately. However, the content of the conversation between the three parties was unknown.

However, Reid was finally relieved. He had been a little worried that Gu Ding would become a bloodthirsty demon, but now it seemed that Gu Ding had slaughtered the Insectoid Tribe's Pinnacle army just to intimidate the Protoss and Abyssal Devils hiding in the dark.

"You've finished watching the video. Tell us what you think," Jeffree continued to urge him.

"This is just a battle for territory, and we humans have won. I don't think there's anything wrong with that." Reid gave his opinion.

Jeffree frowned slightly. "As the youngest member of the Army God's Division, is that all you see? Or are you biased toward your best friend who grew up with you?! "

"Sir Speaker, what I said is what I saw. I'm not biased," Reed replied calmly. Reid replied calmly, "Please allow me to tell you why I made this judgment."

"Go ahead!"

"First of all, this is a war for territory. The Territory War has its own rules. The rules of the Territory War were set by the three Pinnacle Tribes and cannot be violated. One of the important rules is that the consequences of the Territory War cannot be escalated to a Tribe War. If any tribe violates this rule, they will be punished by the three Pinnacle Tribes.

"Second, from the attitude of the Protoss and the Abyssal Devils just now, it's not us humans who will suffer this time. Instead, it will be the Zergs.

"Third, with the deterrence of the Gu Ding Pirates, I'm afraid the other tribes will not actively provoke us humans for some time to come.

"In my opinion, the battle with the Gu Ding Pirates has brought us benefits. There's nothing to worry about." Reed finally gave a shocking conclusion.

However, to most people present, what Reed said was just sophistry.

"Nonsense!" Jeffree roared, the veins on his neck popping. His assistant was a little worried that his collar would burst his blood vessels.

"Sir Speaker, if you think I've said anything wrong, you can ask me. I'll try my best to answer." Reed maintained a neutral attitude.

"Alright! Then let me ask you! "Jeffree was also a little unhappy with Reed's attitude.

"It's true that there's a rule in the Territory War that does not involve tribes, but Gu Ding slaughtered an entire Pinnacle Army. The Zergs have enough excuse to invade us humans! Moreover, this time they'll definitely go all out. How can the Protoss and the Abyssal Devils bear the wrath of the Zergs under such circumstances?!

"The answer to this question is actually very simple. The Zergs' Pinnacle Army is the Zergs' most powerful army. With the Pinnacle Army wiped out, the Zergs' overall combat power will be reduced by at least half. The Protoss and the Abyssal Devils have always been ambitious. With such a good opportunity to eliminate the Zergs, how could they let the fat meat slip away from their mouths?! The Zergs invading us humans is exactly what they want. They'll also use this as an excuse to go to war with the Zergs. "

"There's no evidence at all for this judgment of yours!" After listening to what Reed said, Jeffree felt that there was some truth to it. However, it was too arbitrary for Reed to make such a judgment without real evidence.

"Actually, there's no need for real evidence. We just need to look at the Protoss and the Abyssal Devils' attitudes," Reed continued. "In the video, we can see that the representatives of the Protoss and the Abyssal Devils not only did not show any aggression toward Gu Ding, but they were also very talkative throughout the whole process. This is enough to prove that they're on our side. "

"What I need is evidence!" Jeffree frowned slightly.

Reed hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. "Then I'll give you evidence. I made this judgment because Estori of the Protoss and Casares of the Abyssal Devils personally promised Gu Ding that they would join forces to kick the Zergs out and support the humans to become the third Pinnacle Tribe!"

"What do you mean?! You can't hear their conversation in the video at all! "Jeffree felt that Reed was messing with him.

"I don't need to hear anything. I can read lips. If you don't believe me, you can replay the conversation just now. I'll relay the entire conversation, "Reed said.

"Replay it!" Jeffree looked at Reed suspiciously, then nodded at his assistant.

The assistant quickly replayed the last part of the conversation, and Reid recounted the entire conversation without missing a single word.

Everyone in the room observed his lip movements and found that they were exactly the same as the three people in the video projection.

"If you don't believe me, you can get a lip-reading expert to see if I'm telling the truth." Reed shrugged his shoulders.

"So the basis of your judgment from the beginning was …"

"That's right. I knew what they were talking about the moment I saw the video …" Reed nodded slightly with a smile.

The lip-reading expert was quickly invited over, and after verification, the content of the three people's conversation was almost the same as what Reed had said. Only then did the meeting end.

After leaving the conference room, Reed's relaxed expression changed. He turned his head to look at the clear sky outside the window, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself, "Gu Ding, this time the humans will be fine, but you've poked the hornet's nest. I'm afraid the Zergs won't let this go …"
