Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Okay, so you voted no confidence in my leadership. I understand that, but do tell me, what does that have to do with my membership in the council? I am still the active officer of the first fleet, and the special divisions. Am I right?"

Charlotte Knight did not know what to say, he was indeed the officially active officer of the fleet. They had not yet issued any notice or formal orders of this guy. She was helpless, and she said, "We were going to issue the formal orders to revoke your membership in the meeting."

Shi Lang nodded, and replied, "Since I am still the member and the acting leader of the council, allow me to ask something."

The entire scene was happening in front of public eyes, and was being broadcasted to the entire war planet and the federation. What Charlotte and the rest did not know that there were a lot of people who were dissatisfied with this action of theirs.

Charlotte had taken it upon herself to put Shi Lang in his place, and thus she said, "Go ahead, General Lang."

Shi Lang smiled and said, "The general council is made up of both the frontal forces and the secret divisions. The commanders of the secret division must be present to revoke the membership of a General. You missed that, secondly, the no confidence vote needs the separate agreement of the secret divisions, I wonder if you have that in your hand?"

The general council was at a loss, Charlotte had made a mistake, she thought that the secret division was still working like the old structure, but the amendments made by Shi Lang allowed them to hold the similar status as the fleets. This meant that the sixteen secret divisions must also vote in this process.

The lady grit her teeth, and Shi Lang went on, "I will take your silence as a \'No\' now the people who voted in no confidence towards me, must be stronger than me, as per the military rule suggests. Those with greater power are allowed to be placed above the rest. Bigger fist, bigger say.

So, the generals of the eleven fleets, led by the Terran leaders, have lost challenge battles to my Ace division officers. Shall I cast a no confidence vote in them and replace them from their positions?"

The crowd was shocked, they did not expect such a thing to happen, even Charlotte Knight did not have any knowledge of such a thing. She cast a gaze at the general council members and was surprised to see their bowing heads.

She tried to salvage the situation and said, "You can try to do that, but that does not mean you can salvage the situation by this action. The members lost to your division and not you."

Shi Lang was surprised and then he chuckled, as he said, "Fine, then I call for the Military Duel. You all against me. Including you, War Maiden of Federation. I challenge you all to settle this matter fair and square. You can also make death attacks on me, if you managed to kill me, it will be because I am weak. I apologize, but if I injure you severely during the process, I am not responsible, it will be your weakness. Okay?"

His proclamation of the death match took everyone by surprise. Someone in the crowd said, "That is what a true soldier is like, wearing his heart on the sleeve. That is what a leader is life, standing fearless in the face of death. I want to see if these so called superiors have the guts to face General Lang."

This person was unknown, but his voice was resonated by a lot of people in the surroundings. They did not bother to lower their voices and made the faces of the General Council turn red. Charlotte felt as if her face was slapped. She looked at Shi Lang and said, "Very well, we agree for the military challenge."

That said, she unleashed the pressure of a peak core condensation realm expert. While the rest of the people were surprised by her display of might, Shi Lang and the Ace division stood like it was nothing. The rest might not have noticed this but Charlotte did, while the Ace division still had a slight frown on their faces that vanished as quickly as it came.

Shi Lang stood there like he was walking in the park. The pressure that was enough to cast a sense of oppression over the hundreds of soldiers in the surrounding was akin to nothing to this guy. Charlotte understood that his strength was higher than her, but at this juncture, she could not give up.

She has agreed for the military duel, and going back on the challenge meant that she disrespected the dignity of the military duel that was akin to a sacred ritual in the forces. This will force her to give up on her membership as the General in the council and forsake her right as the fleet leader as well.

She was in a tough spot, and Shi Lang dug this hole for her to jump in. She could only grit her teeth and brace for the impact. Shi Lang smiled and said, "Since you have agreed, please proceed to the venue on the war planet. They have an excellent fighting arena here. We can use that to fighting without holding back anything. Also, do make sure to change into your battle suits. See you there. I hope you know the person responsible for taking care of the matters here on the war planet."

That said, Shi Lang turned around and walked away with the Ace Division. He was going to the venue without caring about the tricks that General Council might have. Absolute strength is what overcomes anything and everything.

The soldiers saw this and they all began to talk, the image of the general council has been stained and the reason was their trickery. The soldiers all somehow started talking about how a soldier should be righteous and not tricking people for power, how Shi Lang was the one who did all that he could for the betterment of the world.

...

Back in Federation, this incident was blown out of proportion. After all, Shi Lang was the first general. The news titles were like tornados, for example, "The first general was conspired against, the culprit is?"

A lot more people began to talk about this and the most effected was the cabinet. They did not expect such an infighting in the general council. This effected the law and order on an invisible scale. They tried contacting the council but they were told to stay out of this matter by Charlotte.

…

Amelia was in the kitchen when she heard the noise from the living room. After sorting up her stuff when she moved to the living room she found Shi Tao sitting in the middle of Shi John and Luna as the trio watched the screen projecting Shi Lang and her mother.

Luna said, "I wonder if Amelia is alright. John, maybe we should change the channel?"

Amelia shook her head with a smile, the family loved her a lot. So she also returned their love properly. She walked over and said, "Mom, it is fine, my mother needs some tuning."

Shi Tao bobbed her small head, "Don\'t worry grandma, dad is not a monster, he will not beat her hard."

Luna facepalmed and said, "She is your grandmother too."

Shi Tao shook her head and said, "She does not acknowledge me. Dad said, we must not undermine ourselves to get what belongs to us. Mom also said the same."

Luna cast a gaze to Amelia, who nodded and said, "It was our decision to have a daughter. Others may not want to accept it but our family should understand and accept this."

...

On the War Planet, Shi Lang stood in the arena facing the twelve generals. The ingenious species generals abstained from this dispute. One of them said, "We do not believe in infighting. It brings no benefit but only humiliation. General Lang is not in the wrong and you are the majority, so we will not step into this quagmire. Also, we are the weakest in the fleet."

Shi Lang nodded to their decision, or he might have beaten them black and blue. Thinking about this he looked at the opponents and said, "You all can take three moves head start, I will put you in your place after that."

The showdown was about to begin.
