He immediately bowed, cupped his fists, and said indifferently, "I'm not discussing with you, Senior. I'm talking about conditions. Please give me a clear answer whether you agree or not."
Everyone was stunned. This was a blatant threat in public. He did not take Kong Mi seriously at all.
"You …"
Kong Mi trembled with anger. Her face flushed, she pointed at Ding Ning and could not speak for a long time.
Ding Ning was unmoved and continued, "Please grant my wish, Senior!"
"Fine, fine, fine. Are you threatening me?"
Kong Mi was so angry that she laughed and shouted in anger.
Ding Ning slowly stood up without fear. His lips curled into a mocking smile, "You can think of it as a threat. In reality, I don't want to make things so embarrassing. It's just that Senior seems to have a great prejudice against me. You've been responding perfunctorily and not giving me face."
"Face? You're just a wild bastard. What face do you have in front of me? "
Kong Mi flew into a rage and cursed indiscriminately.
"How dare you!"
The Winged Tribe's Patriarch roared, his eyes flashing with frightening murderous intent. Not to mention the fact that she wanted to use Ding Ning, Kong Mi calling Ding Ning a bastard had touched her reverse scale. No matter how wild he was and how he came from the wilderness, he was still a pure-blooded member of the Winged Tribe. Calling Ding Ning a bastard was equivalent to calling the entire Winged Tribe a bastard.
Kong Mi's body trembled. Only then did she realize that she had spoken indiscriminately and even cursed the Winged Tribe.
She hurriedly cupped her fists and apologized, "Chairman, I didn't mean to. I just spoke indiscriminately in a moment of anger."
Lang Li and the others also hurriedly mediated between them, temporarily calming the Winged Tribe's Patriarch's thunderous rage. However, it was his family's business whether he would marry his daughter or not. Even if she wanted to speak up for Ding Ning, it was useless.
Unfortunately, while the Winged Tribe's Patriarch intended to let him go, Ding Ning did not. He sneered and said, "I respect you as Kong Lei's second grandfather, so I addressed you as Senior. I didn't expect you to ignore the bigger picture. Fine, since you don't give me face, I won't give you face either. Guards!"
"What do you want? Do you want the army to surround me? "
Kong Mi was afraid of the Winged Tribe's Patriarch, but not Ding Ning.
"Surround you? You think too highly of yourself. "
Ding Ning smiled contemptuously. He secretly transmitted his voice to order the guards to bring people over. Then, he turned around and cupped his fists at the Speakers. "Seniors, I want to ask you, is it justified for me to take the position of commander-in-chief?"
"Of course, you became the commander-in-chief through the selection competition."
No one knew what Ding Ning was up to, so they nodded and said affirmatively.
"I'd also like to ask, what kind of authority does the Great Commander have?"
Ding Yu continued to ask.
"Responsible for commanding the entire army, handling military affairs, armaments, and military discipline. You have the authority to command and mobilize the army, as well as the authority to deal with violations of military discipline."
One of the chairmen answered in a general manner.
"Then, let me ask again. If someone maliciously slandered me, or even spread rumors in the army, slandering my reputation and bewitching the morale of the army, how should such a person be dealt with?"
Ding Ning straightened his body and said proudly.
"You're the commander-in-chief, the highest officer of the army. If anyone dares to violate military discipline, slander your officer, and spread rumors to bewitch the morale of the army, you'll be killed without mercy!"
Lang Li answered without hesitation. Although he disliked Ding Ning before, his impression of Ding Ning had changed greatly ever since he received the battle report and learned that his tribe's Wolf Cavalry had made the greatest contribution with Ding Ning.
One had to know that the Wolf Cavalry had made a great contribution.
The more contributions they made, the more military merits they would receive. When the war was won, the Gale Wolf Tribe would be rewarded according to their contributions.
Kong Mi's expression changed drastically. He immediately understood Ding Ning's intentions. Ding Ning was using Kong Yu's life to force him to submit.
However, he did not quite believe that Ding Ning would know about this. He had specially arranged for Kong Yu to do it discreetly, so he did not think that Ding Ning would have anything to use against him. He immediately held onto the thought of getting lucky and kept silent with a dark expression.
The Great Ancestor of the Wing People frowned. She knew that the Peacock Tribe would play some tricks behind her back because they were unwilling to give up. Such a thing could be big or small, but if Ding Ning caught the evidence, he would not be able to turn a blind eye to it.
Spreading rumors in the army, slandering an officer, and bewitching the morale of the army was a capital offense. If Ding Ning could produce conclusive evidence, even Kong Mi would not be able to do anything. Some things could be done in secret, and everyone would not say anything if they knew about it. However, if it was brought to the surface, for the sake of military discipline, it had to be dealt with impartially and serve as a warning to others.
Kong Lei pursed her lips tightly and looked at Ding Ning pleadingly. Although she knew that everything Ding Ning had done was for her, she could not bear to watch her cousin Kong Yu be killed in front of everyone.
Ding Ning looked at her seriously and said, "This war concerns the lives of millions of people, and the survival of everyone's families. No matter what his goal is, or who he is under, to spread rumors in secret and bewitch the morale of the army, he should be punished and cannot be forgiven. As the vice general, you must understand that.
Military law is merciless. "
"I …"
Kong Lei bit her lip and lowered her head. Her heart was in a mess. How could she not understand this logic? However, Kong Yu was her cousin, and she could not just sit back and do nothing.
Moreover, this guy was talking about military law and discipline, but in reality, he was using it as a bargaining chip to force Second Grandpa to submit. If Kong Mi agreed, she could guarantee that Ding Ning would not make a fuss about Kong Yu's matter.
When the chairmen heard Ding Ning's words, they suddenly realized that the person he had been talking about was actually someone from the Peacock Tribe. They could not help but look at Kong Mi. The person that Ding Ning used to threaten Kong Mi must have something to do with him.
Lang Li and the others looked at Kong Mi angrily and secretly cursed him for being an idiot. Although everyone had been fighting openly and secretly before, it was all for power. They still had to take the big picture into consideration. Thus, after Ding Ning's great victory, they did not mind putting down their pride to resolve their grudges. After all, he was truly capable and deserved everyone's attention.
But what did the Peacock Tribe do? For their own grudges, they actually sent people to spread rumors in the army and bewitch the morale of the army. To put it lightly, the Peacock Tribe did not care about the big picture and smeared Ding Ning's name for their own grudges. But to put it more seriously, they were destroying the unity of the alliance and attempting to break the solid fortress of the Winged Tribe Alliance from within. This was no longer just a matter of bewitching the army's morale. Seriously, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a spy sent by Thousand Demon City.
Ding Ning's move was ruthless. He had forced Kong Mi into a dead end. Should he protect his own grandson? If he did not protect him, they would say that he was heartless and did not even care about blood relations. If he protected him, they would say that as the chairman of the alliance, he bent the law for personal gain and broke military discipline.
More importantly, even if he wanted to protect him, it would depend on whether Ding Ning gave him face or not. Don't forget, Ding Ning was not only the commander, he also held the position of chairman. In terms of status, he was no less than Kong Mi.
Kong Mi's face was livid, but his heart was beating like a drum. Ding Ning had already said this. Coupled with Kong Lei's expression, if he still did not know that the matter had been completely exposed, he would be an idiot.
No longer caring about his pride, he sent a voice transmission in a low voice, "Commander, let's drop this matter. Kong Yu is young and immature. He has made a huge mistake. Commander, please give him a chance."
However, Ding Ning did not pay attention to him at all. He turned his head and did not look at him.
Even at this point, Kong Mi still did not come to his senses and did not mention the marriage proposal. If he wanted to let this matter go with a simple transmission, he could not even think about it.
Kong Mi was so angry that his liver hurt. How could he not agree to Ding Ning's marriage proposal now? The reason why he did not mention it was because he wanted to bargain and prevent Ding Ning from going back on his words. After all, Kong Yu's life was still in his hands.
"Commander, I have carefully considered it. I feel that it is Kong Lei's good fortune to be able to marry a hero like you. I have no opinion, but you know that my elder brother is his grandfather. I cannot decide whether he agrees or not."
Kong Mi had already seen Kong Yu being dragged over by two soldiers like a dead dog through his divine sense. He did not dare to delay any longer and spoke quickly.
"Hero? I am just a wild bastard. "
Ding Ning had always been a narrow-minded person. Now that Kong Mi had admitted defeat, he did not intend to let him off so easily.
Kong Mi's face alternated between green and red, constantly changing. He gritted his teeth and forced a stiff smile, bowed his head, and said, "It's my bad mouth, it's my fault for saying the wrong thing. Please don't take it to heart, Great Commander."
Everyone was stunned. The scene of Ding Ning bowing his head and apologizing to Kong Mi was still vivid in their minds. They did not expect that the tables would turn so quickly. It was Kong Mi's turn to apologize humbly. This Ding Ning was really a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance!
Everyone present was a peak Daemon King. Their consciousness had already discovered that the one being dragged over was Kong Yu. They immediately understood. No wonder Kong Mi, who had always been proud and arrogant, would admit defeat. Kong Mi was his favorite grandson.
Although everyone knew this, they were all shrewd people and would not deliberately expose him. They pretended to know nothing and tried to smooth things over. They were afraid that Kong Mi would lose face and really fall out with Ding Ning.
Lang Li, Niu Yue, and Yuan Ming looked at each other and saw the disappointment in each other's eyes. They nodded in understanding, indicating that the alliance with the Peacock Tribe was over. They felt that it was definitely not a wise move to ally with such a narrow-minded and stupid person like Kong Mi. If they continued, they did not know what kind of trouble Kong Mi would cause.
War was not child's play. They were all betting for their own race. This was a gamble that concerned the survival of their race, and none of them could afford to lose it. However, Kong Mi could still disregard the big picture for his own personal gain in such a serious matter. This was irresponsible to them and to the entire Alliance, and such a person was not worthy of forming an alliance with them.
Between Kong Mi and Ding Ning, one could not accomplish anything, while the other was wise and powerful. It was obvious which choice they should make. Unknowingly, the scales in their hearts had already begun to tilt.
"You're a senior. What you're saying is really too much."
Ding Ning's expression changed so quickly that it was unheard of. Seeing Kong Mi finally lower his head and admit defeat, a bright smile immediately appeared on his expressionless face. He appeared to be in fear and trepidation, giving Kong Mi enough face.
Then he secretly sent a message and ordered for Kong Yu to be escorted back and not to come back. The guards had already received Ding Ning's orders and had purposefully walked so slowly. Receiving the order, they immediately turned and left with Kong Yu.
Kong Mi, who had been watching this scene with his consciousness, sighed in relief. Kong Lei also sighed in relief. Everyone sighed in relief.
While they despised Kong Mi's stupidity, the Peacock Tribe's strength was unquestionable. In this situation where they did not have the advantage, they really did not want to see Ding Ning and the Peacock Tribe completely fall out. If that really happened, the Winged Clan Alliance would really be in danger.
It was laughable that the idiot Kong Mi could not see this at all. He was frightened by Ding Ning and obediently lowered his head.
