In the Nebula Boundary, where the Federation and Caesar intersected, there was a huge man-made military fortress. This fortress was the famous Base Nebula that Caesar couldn't destroy no matter how hard they tried.
Base Nebula was a super mobile fortress that had the latest technology from the Federation. It had powerful firepower and was easy to defend but hard to attack. Caesar couldn't do anything about this kind of military base that could run away if they couldn't beat them. It was like a fishbone stuck in their throat.
Of course, other than the fact that Base Nebula could run away and was equipped with powerful firepower, there were also many powerful people in the base.
Base Nebula didn't have any other weapons. Other than mechas, there were only mechas.
Hence, there were more than a hundred ace mecha clans and dozens of titled mecha clans stationed here. Of course, most of the mecha clans stationed here were normal mecha clans. In reality, even the powerful Federation and Caesar didn't have so many ace mecha clans to fight on the battlefield. Every time a large-scale battle happened, the main force of the battle would be these normal mecha clans.
It could be said that the Nebula Boundary was the only place in the Federation that didn't rely on huge starships to protect it. Instead, it relied on this mobile fortress and a huge mecha army to protect this planetary sector.
At that moment, the commanding officer of Base Nebula was sitting opposite another soldier in a blue military uniform on the sofa in his guest room.
Both of them had a golden star and a golden leaf on their shoulders. This proved that they were both major generals.
The commanding officer of the base was a middle-aged soldier who was over 50 years old. He looked gentle and refined. If it wasn't for the white frost around his ears, one would think that he was a young and talented man who was less than 40 years old. His name was Yu Huan. He came from a commoner family. He was able to become the commanding officer of Base Nebula because of his capabilities.
The person sitting opposite him was the regiment commander of a first-rank four-star titled mecha clan, Ao Feng. He had been in Lucky Base for five years.
The two of them were the two biggest bosses of this base. One of them was in charge of external affairs while the other was in charge of internal affairs. Ke Yufeng was in charge of all the mecha clans while Yu Huan was in charge of everything in the base. He provided services to all the mecha clans.
For the past five years, they worked well together and defeated Caesar's probing attacks. Just when they thought that they would continue to work together, an order from the military forced them to part ways.
Ke Yufeng and his Proud Wind Mecha Clan would be transferred back to the Federation to rest. Although Yu Huan knew that Ke Yufeng would definitely become stronger after his return, as a friend, he should be happy for him. However, Yu Huan didn't feel good about it because the mecha clan that would take over Ke Yufeng's position was an unknown mecha clan, Lingtian.
"Do you think that something went wrong with the mainframe of the military? That's why they sent a small mecha clan that was just promoted to a titled battle clan?" Yu Huan was close enough to tell Ling Lan what was on his mind.
Ke Yufeng shook his head. "You know that's impossible." If the mainframe was wrong, it meant that the Federation was in danger.
Ke Yufeng knew very well that Yu Huan wasn't really thinking that way. He was just using this opportunity to vent his frustration.
"It seems that some people in our military have been on drugs recently." Yu Huan sneered. He knew that it was impossible too. However, he felt frustrated that a small mecha clan like Lingtian was in charge of guarding the Nebula Boundary.
"It might be someone with special privileges who came here to earn merit points." Ke Yufeng had been thinking about this ever since he received the order. This was the only logical conclusion he came up with.
"F * * k, this is Base Nebula. It concerns the safety of the entire Federation. How can they treat this like a game?" Yu Huan wiped his face and suppressed the anger in his heart. "The entire military is rotten. If this continues, the Federation will be in chaos."
"The three great marshals all have different ideologies and they don't agree with each other's views. Sometimes, they will make decisions that no one can understand in order to attack their opponents." Ke Yufeng was deep in thought. "Maybe they didn't come to Base Nebula because of special privileges. It might also be an arrangement by their opponents. They want them to make a mistake so that they can find a chance to attack."
Ke Yufeng was part of the Second Marshal's faction and was trusted by the Second Marshal. Hence, he knew about the competition between the top three factions in the military. In order to attack their opponents, they would even make decisions that no one could understand. When he decided to enter Base Nebula, he didn't want to be involved in this internal conflict. He wanted to be far away from the center of the conflict so that he wouldn't have to worry about it. At the same time, he could do what a soldier should do — protect his country.
Ke Yufeng's words made Yu Huan's anger dissipate. It wasn't easy to become a leader. Yu Huan calmed down quickly and started thinking about how he should deal with his new partner.
"Actually, I feel that there's something wrong with that order," Ke Yufeng reminded him.
"I know." Yu Huan knew that something was wrong the moment he received the order.
"The order was very vague. It didn't say that he was going to replace you but he said that he was going to be in charge of the safety of the planetary sector." Yu Huan sneered. "It's obvious that he wants me to decide what to do with him."
"He either wants me to show him who's boss and force him to become one of the titled mecha clans or pretend that he doesn't know anything and let him take over your position." Yu Huan knew what choice he was facing. These two paths were destined to lead to two different endings.
"If my guess is right, they're forcing you to choose a side, even though it's very invisible." Ke Yufeng looked at Yu Huan worriedly. They had known each other for five years and had become good friends. He didn't want Yu Huan to be involved in the conflict between the top three factions.
Ke Yufeng had no choice. His background meant that he was destined to be a part of the Second Marshal's faction. Sometimes, he would envy Yu Huan for being able to reach his current position with his own abilities. He didn't have any connections so he was able to walk down the path without any hesitation.
"They can't force me to choose a side. In the end, I will only choose the side that I think is right." Yu Huan didn't have Ke Yufeng's worries. In his opinion, he should be able to take over the position. If he had the ability, so what if they gave him the authority to command the military? Of course, if he didn't have the ability, he wouldn't give him any face. He would just do whatever he could.
"I hope that the Lingtian Mecha Clan isn't as bad as I thought." After calming down, Yu Huan didn't have the same thoughts as before.
Three days later, the mainframe of Base Nebula received a request to move in.
"Commanding Officer Yu, we received a request to move in from the Lingtian Mecha Clan. All 13 codes match. Please give the order. "Yu Huan quickly received a notification from the mainframe.
Yu Huan looked at the time on his communicator. It was 13: 07 pm. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. "The timing is quite accurate."
A large mecha clan would need two to three hours to move into the base and complete the entire process. This was enough for them to complete the procedures before 16 pm.
Yu Huan opened the base's video feed and saw a huge starship waiting in the star sector outside the base.
"Let them in." Since the mainframe matched all the codes, the people who came must be from the Lingtian Mecha Clan.
The 13 orders weren't given in one go. They were sent to the regiment commander of the Lingtian Mecha Clan through various channels and at various times. If there was anything wrong, the base would reject them. If necessary, the mainframe would attack them without his orders.
The starship that was allowed to move slowly entered the port outside the base.
"Click click click …" The sound of chains locking the starship could be heard. Numerous ribbons extended from the port and locked the starship. Then, the ribbons dragged the starship to the disembarkation point.
The door of the starship opened. Many soldiers walked out of the starship in an orderly manner.
"Tap tap tap tap …"
They didn't look around. Everyone's footsteps were orderly. The sound of their military boots landing on the ground actually covered the sounds of the workers at the port.
The sound of their footsteps instantly attracted the attention of all the soldiers who were working in the spaceport.
"Wow, so orderly." One of the workers couldn't help but exclaim.
"Who are they?" Everyone asked this question.
With this question in mind, many workers quickly ran over. They wanted to find the answer.
Soon, the surroundings were filled with people. However, the soldiers didn't seem to see these people. They also didn't hear the surprised voices around them. They walked straight until they saw a wide plaza. Only then did they stop in their tracks.
No, they didn't stop in their tracks. Instead, they made a neat turn and walked to the two ends of the plaza in an orderly manner. They made space for the soldiers behind them.
As more and more soldiers came out, the plaza was quickly filled up by this new mecha clan. There were around 5000 people in total.
"Attention!" A loud and clear command rang out.
"Clap!"
The 5000 soldiers stood at attention. Instantly, their voices echoed throughout the entire spaceport.
"They're organizing the army!" The workers at the side could see what was going on.
"Look at that army. It's so f * cking imposing." Some people already had an envious look in their eyes.
Nowadays, soldiers respected freedom. The military posture of soldiers was no longer required to be uniform. That was why the soldiers at the spaceport were so shocked when they saw the soldiers moving in unison.
"Excuse me, who is the person in charge here?" A young lieutenant colonel with two stripes and two stars walked out and asked.
"Oh, it's me. It's me." The person in charge, a captain, finally regained his senses.
"We're the head logistics officer of the Lingtian Mecha Clan, Lin Zhong-qing. May I know what arrangements Base Nebula has for us?" The lieutenant colonel revealed his identity and asked the person in charge here.
"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Lin. This is the camp that we've arranged for you. The Proud Wind Mecha Clan is waiting for you." The lieutenant hurriedly took out a card and replied respectfully.
Lin Zhong-qing took the card and shone it on his communicator. A map of Base Nebula appeared on the screen of his communicator. There were two red dots on the map. One of them was the camp they were going to stay in and the other was the mecha hold where their mechas were stored.
"Understood." Lin Zhong-qing nodded. Then, he walked back. At that moment, a few majors ran out from the huge army. Then, the 5000 people split into N groups and started moving.
After all the soldiers from the Lingtian Mecha Clan left, the entire spaceport was filled with discussions.
"Those soldiers should all be mecha operators, right?"
"That must be it. I saw many lieutenants and even some colonels …" Of course, most of them were non-commissioned officers, but there were only a few privates.
In order to not let the logisticians lose out, when they came to 250 Ace Mecha Clan, oh no, Lingtian Mecha Clan, they didn't lose their original military rank. Some of them even got promoted. This made the logisticians, who were originally unhappy, excited. His original unwillingness had also disappeared without a trace.
At that moment, a logistician who was in charge of transporting mechas ran over with a shocked expression.
"Do you know what I saw just now?" The logistician shouted excitedly.
"What is it?" Everyone was curious. Base Nebula was one of the most technologically advanced bases in the Federation. The facilities and weapons inside were all top-notch. They weren't soldiers from a third-rate base who hadn't seen the world. It wasn't easy for them to be shocked and excited.
"Mechas! They're all mechas! " The logistician swallowed hard. He couldn't describe how he felt when he saw all the mechas in the transport ship.
"Tsk!" They thought that they would hear some earth-shattering news. They didn't expect to hear this. Everyone couldn't help but scold him with a look of disdain.
Base Nebula might lack everything, but mechas were the only thing they didn't lack. They could even proudly say that no other base could compete with them in terms of the number of mechas they had.
"But have you ever seen a mecha clan with 10,000 mechas?" The logistician added unhappily. They had seen too many mechas. However, what shocked them was not the number of mechas. It was the number of mechas.
"F * * k!"
"Are you serious?"
"You're lying, right?"
The soldiers who heard the logistician's words all exclaimed in disbelief.
"I heard that they have 10800 mechas. It's definitely correct," the logistician said confidently.
"That's not right. I remember Captain Lu said that Lingtian Mecha Clan only has 5,823 people. Even if each of them has one mecha … could it be that they have one backup mecha?"
"Gulp!" Someone swallowed. "I think that's very possible."
"Are these 5,823 people all mecha operators?"
"Gulp!"
Another person swallowed. "I think that's also possible …"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. Even the most powerful mecha clan, such as Proud Wind Mecha Clan, only had 2,000 mecha operators and 5,000 logisticians.
"What is the Lingtian Mecha Clan?" Everyone looked at the direction where the Lingtian Mecha Clan disappeared. They were in awe.
