The results of the battle at the Nebula Boundary quickly spread to the Federation's military headquarters. The entire military headquarters was in an uproar.
"Lingtian wiped out Knight Ace Mecha Clan at Base Nebula?" Many people were in disbelief when they heard the news.
"Is it the 18th ranked Knight Ace Mecha Clan from Caesar?" They had to confirm that this news was true.
"Where did this Lingtian come from? Why don't I remember any of the top mecha clans in the Federation having this name? "The unfamiliar name of Lingtian caught the attention of the higher-ups in the military headquarters too.
"If I remember correctly, Lingtian Mecha Clan used to be 250 Mecha Clan under General Ling Xiao's 23rd division." In the military headquarters, there were people who were very well-informed so they explained to their colleagues.
"So it's Prince Ling's mecha clan!" Most people knew who 250 Mecha Clan was.
"Didn't the godly military doctor from the headquarters say that Prince Ling can't operate a mecha anymore? How did they wipe out Knight Ace Mecha Clan? "Someone asked curiously.
"Prince Ling didn't do anything. It was his subordinates who did it." An officer who was lucky enough to see the report said.
"F * * k, his subordinates? Who is so strong? "Someone asked." It's impossible to wipe out Knight Ace Mecha Clan without a legendary mecha clan. "
"From what I know, Lingtian has more than 600 peak-level ace operators, 800 elite ace operators and more than 1000 normal ace operators." Someone reported the data of Lingtian's mecha operators.
"This data is not bad but it's only between first-rank three-star and four-star mecha clans. It's not enough to wipe out a first-rank five-star Knight Ace Mecha Clan." It was obvious that Lingtian's data wasn't convincing enough.
"What if half of the 600 peak-level ace operators haven't updated their mecha piloting skills for more than 10 years? As for the remaining half, none of them are newly promoted. Although it hasn't been 10 years, at the very least, they haven't updated their mecha piloting levels in at least 5 years, "someone added.
"F * * k!"
"F * * k!"
"F * * k!"
This piece of news made the officers who were discussing among themselves all stand together.
There was a chance for peak-level ace operators to advance to imperial level. Usually, it would take 5 years for a peak-level ace operator to advance to imperial level. Lingtian's 300 peak-level ace operators hadn't updated their mecha piloting skills for 10 years. It was possible that some of them had advanced to imperial level.
Of course, the other half of the mecha Clan's mecha piloting skills were also imperial level ace operators too.. but the probability was lower of the Mecha piloting skills. However, no matter what, they couldn't treat Lingtian as a first-rank three-star or four-star mecha clan anymore after such a long time without any updates.
Lingtian's Lingtian's mecha Clan's imperial level ace mecha piloting a Mecha Clan's Ling's Ling, Ling's Royal mecha clan... "
"Prince Ling sacrificed his future for the Federation. He should have lived under General Ling Xiao's protection for the rest of his life. I wonder which idiot in the military made Prince Ling's 250 Mecha Clan an independent mecha clan and even sent it to the dangerous Base Nebula. I don't know how the Federation treats its own people." Someone was unhappy when he heard this. He retorted, "The military is so unreliable. If their father doesn't think more about it, are they really going to send their children away? What a joke. "
"Yes. However, I heard that 250 Mecha Clan already has 250 peak-level ace operators. Among them, there are many people like Big Dipper and Big Dipper. They are all people who have the potential to advance to imperial level. For Ling Tian to have such strength, it might not be General Ling Xiao's doing. "Someone voiced his opinion.
"That's true. General Ling Xiao has always been fair and just. This time, when the military sent Prince Ling to Base Nebula, General Ling Xiao didn't object. He just accepted it. For the Federation, General Ling Xiao did everything he could … cough." Someone sighed. If there were more people like General Ling Xiao in the military, the Federation might be stronger now.
"That's right. It would be a big joke if someone doubted General Ling Xiao." Everyone agreed.
"I'm just saying … I don't mean anything else." The person who mocked Lingtian's Ling Xiao explained himself when he saw that he had angered everyone.
"It's best if you don't mean anything," the person who started the conversation replied coldly. He didn't have any intention of shaking hands. Since he dared to disrespect General Ling Xiao, he must be someone with ulterior motives. This kind of person wasn't worth being friends with.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. A colleague who had a good relationship with the person who mocked him hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Alright, alright. We're just chatting. It wasn't intentional. Don't take it to heart. Let's work."
Because of this, everyone didn't have the desire to continue the conversation. They went back to doing their own things.
However, they were still curious about how Lingtian managed to defeat Knight Ace Mecha Clan. Everyone was waiting for the military to announce the results of the battle and the rewards.
This was a dimly lit living room. Two people were sitting in a corner facing each other. There was a chessboard between them. They were playing chess quietly.
"Chief …" The subordinate who had been waiting for a long time saw that his chief didn't make a move. He raised his head and called out softly.
"Hmm?" The chief seemed to have been woken up. He looked at his subordinate and said calmly, "You, tell me what you think about the matter just now."
The subordinate's fingers trembled. The chess piece fell into the chess box.
After calming himself down, he replied cautiously, "Sir, Ling Xiao's reputation is like the sun in the sky. In the military, as long as someone disrespects him in the slightest, they will be attacked by a group of people." As he said this, he carefully looked at his boss. "We have to be on guard."
"How? His son has done many miraculous deeds. He doesn't need to do anything and he can get everything he wants, "the chief said calmly.
"But we can't just let it go. If not, it will affect your plan." The subordinate was anxious.
"There's no rush. Water can carry a boat but it can also sink it. Having a high reputation isn't always a good thing," the chief said calmly. "I want to see how far Ling Xiao can go."
"We're just going to watch?" The subordinate was shocked.
"Don't think that Ling Xiao is powerful now. Ling Xiao has a fatal weakness." The chief looked up and smiled coldly. He placed the black chess piece in his hand on the chessboard. "God-class operator! The Federation has a rule that unless there's a national crisis, god-class operators are not allowed to take the position of marshal. "
"Prince Ling … Does he really think that he can start the constitutional amendment ceremony?" The chief smirked. "He won't be able to get past the three marshals."
"I understand, chief." The subordinate heard his words and instantly understood why the chief was so calm.
"Although we don't need to do anything, if we can give Ling Xiao some trouble and get rid of a disgusting parasite, why not kill two birds with one stone?" The chief stood up.
"Chief, you're right …" The subordinate understood.
"I think that Ling Xiao will be happy to take over this trouble." The chief waved his hand. "Go and arrange it."
"Yes, chief." The subordinate replied excitedly. The clue that he accidentally found more than ten years ago was finally put to use.
Finally, only the chief was left in the dark living room. He stood in the dark corner and looked in a direction silently. He seemed to be thinking about something.
After a long time, he raised his right hand and clenched it. "Only the final victor will be the victor … Ling Xiao, you will submit to me in the end."
His eyes revealed a trace of ambition, as well as a hint of crazed passion.
That seemingly gentle but actually lofty person would eventually lower his arrogant head. Just thinking about this made him excited.
I didn't lose 20 years ago. I won't lose now! Ling Xiao, the result won't change. You will never be able to win against me.
In the headquarters of the 23rd Division, the chief of staff rushed into the division commander's office.
"General," He Xuyang shouted excitedly.
"What's the matter?" Ling Xiao didn't even raise his head. He was still flipping through the documents in his hand.
"Young Master Lan has done something again," He Xuyang said excitedly.
"Yes." Ling Xiao calmly flipped to the next page, unmoved.
"Young Master Lan's Lingtian wiped out Caesar's Knight Ace Mecha Clan!" He Xuyang was so excited that he didn't care if his general heard him or not. He just told him the news he just received.
Ling Xiao's hand suddenly paused. He slowly raised his head. "Knight Ace Mecha Clan?"
"Yes, Caesar's Knight Ace Mecha Clan is ranked 18th. Our Young Master Lan is really amazing." The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he saw He Xuyang's gratified expression.
That's my daughter! What's the meaning of this expression?
"Did she make a move?" Ling Xiao put down the documents in his hand and asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Based on the information we received, Young Master Lan didn't make a move," He Xuyang replied.
"Looks like the people she brought over have matured a lot." Ling Xiao smiled.
"Of course. Our Young Master Lan is definitely good at training soldiers." He Xuyang once again revealed his gratified expression of 'my son has finally grown up', which made Ling Xiao's teeth itch.
"However, we're going to have another battle in the military." He Xuyang thought of this problem after he got over his excitement.
"Although Ling Lan left the 23rd Division and formed her own army, it has nothing to do with me in principle. However, I'm her father so I can't avoid everything she does. " Ling Xiao already knew this result. Everything he did was to protect his precious daughter. At the very least, she could fly freely under his wings.
"However, if you don't advance, you'll fall behind. General, your current position is a bit dangerous." He Xuyang knew Ling Xiao's current situation better than anyone else.
The better Ling Lan did, the stronger the fire on General Ling Xiao's body burned. However, a monster like Young Master Lan would eventually soar into the sky. No one could stop him.
"It's not like we don't have a chance." Ling Xiao's eyes flashed. "The right time, the right place, and the right people haven't arrived yet. We have to wait."
"But how long do we have to wait?" He Xuyang frowned. He was afraid that General Ling Xiao would be burnt to a crisp before he had the chance.
"It should be soon." Some people probably couldn't wait any longer.
Although every time Ling Lan achieved something, it would make it harder for him, at the same time, it would also push those people to the limit of their patience. Once they reached the limit, they would definitely make a move. That would be his chance.
Yu Huan didn't really understand the situation of this battle report. However, the person in charge of the report was Ling Lan. Since the other party didn't feel wronged, he could only suppress his doubts and sign his name on the final report.
After the mainframe sent the report and the edited video to the military headquarters, he asked his question, "Regiment Commander Ling, why didn't you write that you also participated in the battle?"
It turned out that Ling Lan's report and the video didn't include him.
"Too much is a loss," Ling Lan replied calmly, "At my age, being in this position … is already high enough."
Yu Huan was shocked. He didn't expect Prince Ling to be so clear about his position. Indeed, even if she had a strong background, Ling Lan was still able to reach her current position at her age. She was on par with General Ling Xiao when he was young. It might not be a good thing to have more than that, especially when General Ling Xiao was at the top of the hierarchy. He couldn't advance or retreat.
"Also, I'm the commander-in-chief of the mecha clan. I should be in the base. It would be wrong for me to participate in the battle. "Ling Lan continued," Why don't I just do it like this? I won't make any mistakes and people won't talk about me. "
"The path of the mean," Yu Huan sighed. Yu Huan sighed. Once one reached a certain position, they would be able to deeply understand that the seemingly mediocre path was actually the safest path to ascend to the Green Cloud Realm.
"It's just to maintain stability." Ling Lan replied calmly. She could only use this method to make herself seem less important to her father. No matter how much she tried to make herself seem less important, as long as she was the regiment commander of Lingtian, there would be a lot of trouble.
"However, I still have to thank you for giving the credit to the mecha clans in Base Nebula," Yu Huan said gratefully. However, he quickly became worried. "I wonder if Caesar will release the video."
Lying about the military merits was a serious crime. Even if Lingtian wanted to let them have it, they wouldn't be able to do it.
"They won't release it. They will just say that … we can say that it's an excuse from their defeat to avoid embarrassing themselves too much."
If Ling Lan dared to do this, she wouldn't let anyone have any evidence against her. Knight Ace Mecha Clan and the other two mecha clans were wiped out so there wouldn't be any information released. On the main battlefield, Little Four had blocked her image. At most, her opponent would only be able to see the ferocious mecha operators of Lingtian. However, the mecha operators from Base Nebula were real. In addition to the video that Little Four had released, it would only make it more realistic.
"That's good." Yu Huan knew that there must be at least an imperial level hacker in the Lingtian Mecha Clan just by looking at the realistic virtual battle that Ling Lan created.
Since Ling Lan said that Caesar wouldn't have an imperial level hacker, she must be confident that they wouldn't have one.
An imperial level hacker indeed had the ability to block the video for a period of time.
