Many citizens who were unhappy with the royal family and the cabinet started protesting on the streets. They strongly condemned the government and demanded the emperor and the cabinet to take responsibility for this incident.
The Twilight Empire's government was in a state of panic. They had to prepare for the war and at the same time, appease the anti-war sentiment in the country.
At the same time, there was a secret satellite port in the interstellar region between the Huaxia Federation and the Twilight Empire. A few huge divisions had already gathered at the port.
Ling Xiao walked down from the starship and asked He Xuyang, "Are they all here?"
He Xuyang nodded and replied, "The fourth division's general Luo Mingkun, the seventh division's general Yuwen Jian, and the thirteenth division's general Qi Yaoyang are all waiting for you at the command center."
"They're quite fast." Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows. Not everyone would be convinced by him. He was prepared for someone to show him who was the boss so he purposely slowed down.
He Xuyang smiled. "Erm, General Luo is with the head of the logistics department, Li Yuanbin. General Yuwen is with the chief of staff, Zhang Helun."
Ling Xiao's footsteps immediately slowed down, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "So it's him …"
He Xuyang knew who he was referring to. The fourth division's general wouldn't purposely be late because of the Li family. After all, two of the Li family's successors were under his daughter's command. He had to give some face to the father of the successor. He originally thought that the seventh division's general Yuwen Jian would take the opportunity to do something. But now, it seemed like his old subordinates wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
"Let's go and meet them. We need to understand what they are thinking." Ling Xiao smiled and sat on the hover car that was already waiting for him. He quickly flew towards the command center in the spaceport.
"Tap, tap, tap …" The few division commanders and their deputies sitting in the command center all heard the footsteps approaching.
The door to the command center opened automatically. Everyone turned around and saw a handsome soldier with a gentle aura. One look was enough to leave a good impression on anyone.
"General!" Everyone immediately stood up and saluted.
Ling Xiao walked into the command center and smiled. "Everyone, take a seat."
Only then did everyone return to their seats.
Ling Xiao walked to the main seat and sat down. He Xuyang hurriedly passed the prepared documents to Ling Xiao.
At the same time, He Xuyang's assistants handed over the documents that they had prepared for the generals and their deputies.
Ling Xiao pointed at the documents and said, "This is a battle plan I've formulated. Everyone, take a look and see if it's feasible."
Hearing this, everyone opened the document and read it seriously.
After flipping through a few pages, many people frowned. Yuwen Jian was the first to lose his patience. He closed the document and asked, "General, isn't this plan too risky? There are many uncertainties at every step. It doesn't seem appropriate. "
Hearing this, Ling Xiao actually nodded and admitted, "I also think it's a little risky. But we have to be clear about one thing: we don't have much time. "
The moment these words were spoken, everyone's expression turned serious. In fact, when they received the order to attack Twilight, they knew that the Federation did not give them much time.
Once Caesar decided to join the war, no one could predict the consequences. Although the Federation was determined to start a Nation War, they didn't want to be in a passive position. There was no doubt that the burden on their shoulders was extremely heavy.
Liu Mingkun tapped his finger on the table. He had a determined expression on his face. He opened his mouth and asked, "How many god-class operators did the military send this time? Other than the general? " As the commanding officer, Ling Xiao wouldn't go out to battle easily. They could only hope that the military headquarters would be able to send out more god-class operators. That way, they would have some confidence when carrying out this plan.
"Falling Snow Zhong Zhengxiu, Sky Full Of Stars Ren Jianghui, Phantom General Lian Yigui." Ling Xiao slowly said the list of god-class operators he had received.
However, these three names didn't make everyone feel better. This was because these three god-class operators didn't have the upper hand against the three great mecha lords of Twilight. It could be said that the three god-class operators sent by the military were ranked below average in the Federation. Sky Full Of Stars Ren Jianghui was ranked at the bottom.
"There's one more, King Muqi!" However, soon, Ling Xiao's last name made everyone feel more relaxed. King Muqi was one of the top three god-class operators in the Federation. Even if Ling Xiao surpassed him, no one dared to deny King Muqi's ability. Many people even guessed that in terms of battle experience and experience, Ling Xiao might not be as good as King Muqi. However, Ling Xiao's mecha piloting skills were known to be flawless.
While the other two generals and their deputies were laughing, Ling Xiao and Qi Yaoyang exchanged glances that only they knew.
Ling Xiao knew that Qi Yaoyang was the one who allowed King Muqi to join the war. When he received this name list, he was also surprised. It should be known that King Muqi had been guarding the Eastern Pass for almost 60 years.
"How are we going to split the four god-class operators?" Yuwen Jian asked with concern.
"Falling Snow Zhong Zhengxiu, Sky Full Of Stars Ren Jianghui, and Phantom General Lian Yigui should arrive today. The time of King Muqi's arrival is not confirmed yet," Ling Xiao replied.
"According to the danger level of the mission, I will arrange for the corresponding god-class operators to cooperate with them." Ling Xiao pointed at the document in front of him and said, "Now, everyone can think about which route you want to take."
As soon as this was said, the entire command center fell silent again. All the Army Commanders were thinking about which line of missions they could take. Just like what Ling Xiao said, there were four routes in this mission. Some of them were relatively safe while some were more dangerous. However, once they completed the mission, the merits they received would be proportional to the danger level. They wouldn't waste their lives.
"I choose the second route." Luo Mingkun and Li Yuanbin lowered their heads and discussed for a while. Then, they were the first to speak up.
The second route was safer compared to the other routes. It was more mobile so it always maintained the same distance from the other three routes. Although there were battles, it was more towards the end of the battle.
It wasn't that they were afraid of battle or that they didn't have the spirit to take risks. Compared to the other mecha clans, the 4th division was weaker.
Could it be that the 4th division was weaker than the newly formed 23rd division? However, the 23rd division had General Ling Xiao. Once there was a crisis, he would activate his god-class mecha. With his identity as the number one god-class operator in the Great General Federation, unless the three great mecha kings of the Twilight Empire appeared at the same time, no one would be able to do anything to him.
In comparison, they didn't have the confidence of the 23rd division. Even if they could send two god-class operators to help them, it should be known that these two god-class operators weren't Ling Xiao. They couldn't even send one more god-class operator.
The 4th division knew where they stood so they would definitely choose the most suitable route. After all, they still prioritized stability and wouldn't take risks easily.
Yuwen Jian heard that Luo Mingkun chose the second route so he thought for a while and said, "I'll choose the third route then."
The third route was dangerous but it was more suitable for him to expand his territory. Also, according to the intelligence given by the military, the route he chose was a place with weaker defenses.
Qi Yaoyang looked at the contents of the document repeatedly. Then, he said calmly, "I'll choose the first route then."
"General!" Deputy General Jin Anlong's expression changed slightly. He couldn't help but shout in a low voice.
"It's okay." Qi Yaoyang smiled and patted his shoulder.
Jin Anlong's mouth moved. In the end, he swallowed his objections and decided to listen to his general's decision.
Ling Xiao smiled. It seemed that Qi Yaoyang had won over the hearts of the soldiers in the past year. He had truly gained control of the 13th division.
"The first route is very dangerous. It's almost all heavily guarded by the Twilight Empire." Ling Xiao deliberated for a moment before continuing, "How about this? King Muqi and Sky Full Of Stars Ren Jianghui will follow the 13th division."
Ling Xiao looked at the 7th division's general Yuwen Jian and said, "Ghost General Lian Yigui will follow the 7th division. Last but not least, Falling Snow Zhong Zhengxiu will follow the 4th division. "
Although Yuwen Jian had some small objections to the distribution of god-class operators, he remembered that the 13th Division had chosen the first route to take, which meant that the chances of encountering god-class operators would be much higher. Furthermore, General Lian Yigui's strength was obviously stronger than the 4th Division's Falling Snow Zhong Zhengxiu, and was not weak compared to the three great mecha kings of the Twilight Empire. With his protection, they should be fine.
The 4th division's general Luo Mingkun didn't have any objections. They were just doing a mobile mission. It was already good enough to have a god-class operator following them. At first, he thought that the weakest god-class operator, Sky Full Of Stars Ren Jianghui, would follow them. However, he didn't expect Ling Xiao to take special care of them.
Qi Yaoyang didn't have any objections. To be honest, King Muqi was sent because of him. Hence, no matter which route he chose, King Muqi would follow him closely. If he chose a safer route, it would be too much for King Muqi to follow him. This would make things difficult for Ling Xiao.
Hence, Qi Yaoyang's choice of this route was inevitable. Ling Xiao knew why. That was why he sent Sky Full Of Stars Ren Jianghui to his side. He wanted to reduce the pressure and burden on him.
"Since everyone has chosen, the 23rd division will be in charge of the fourth route," Ling Xiao smiled and said.
The fourth route wasn't much easier than the first route. It might even be more dangerous. This was because the first route was an open attack route, aiming to attract the full attention of the Twilight Empire. The fourth route was a sneak attack route, which would allow them to sneak into the inner regions of the Twilight Empire without anyone noticing. They would then directly attack the capital planet, the center of political power, and completely destroy the Twilight Empire's will to resist.
In order to hide the 23rd division's movements, the 4th division would disguise themselves as the 23rd division. This would create the illusion that the general was commanding the battle from the back.
Everyone received their mission and waited for the god-class operators to arrive. Then, they would officially launch their attack.
Qi Yaoyang purposely stayed behind. After Luo Mingkun and Yuwen Jian left the command center, he turned around and said to Ling Xiao, "King Muqi should be able to arrive today."
Ling Xiao nodded to show that he understood. He wasn't angry that King Muqi went to find Qi Yaoyang instead of him. Ling Xiao knew the relationship between King Muqi and Qi Yaoyang. Qi Yaoyang had told him about it personally.
If the Muqi of the Eastern Pass didn't join the military, they would call themselves Muqi. However, if they joined the military, they would choose one of the two surnames to be their surname. Qi Yaoyang's family had chosen Qi as their surname.
Qi Yaoyang was a member of the Muqi of the Eastern Pass. This time, he would be in great danger. As an imperial mecha operator who was the closest to becoming a god-class operator, King Muqi didn't want anything to happen to Qi Yaoyang. Thus, he personally came to protect him. If not, how would this god-class operator, who was prepared to die of old age, be able to enter the battlefield again? Why would he appear on the frontlines of the battlefield?
In the end, King Muqi came for Qi Yaoyang. He was only responsible for Qi Yaoyang. It had nothing to do with Ling Xiao.
Qi Yaoyang and Ling Xiao discussed their plan for a while. Compared to the other two divisions, they trusted each other more.
In reality, whether Ling Xiao's sneak attack would succeed or not depended on how strong Qi Yaoyang's side was. Of course, if the 7th division performed well, it would be better. Then, Ling Xiao would have a higher chance of attacking the capital planet of Twilight. However, Ling Xiao and Qi Yaoyang wouldn't place all their hopes on others. It would be more dangerous and passive. They were both people who liked to control everything in their own hands.
After the discussion, Qi Yaoyang said goodbye to Ling Xiao and left the command center. When he walked outside, Vice General Jin Anlong couldn't help but ask, "General, do you have a good relationship with the general?"
'Isn't the general from the Third Marshal's faction? Why is he so close to General Ling from the First Marshal's faction? ' This time, Vice General Jin Anlong, who had followed Qi Yaoyang all the way, felt that he had discovered some hidden truths.
"I know that you're from the neutral faction. You have nothing to do with the factions of the three great marshals." Qi Yaoyang smiled nonchalantly. "Although the general and I belong to different factions, our ideals are the same. Factions are factions. They can't stop us from having the same goal. "
Qi Yaoyang turned and looked at Jin Anlong. He continued, "Take you for example. Even if you're from the neutral faction, as long as you have the same goal as me, you'll be my most important and trusted comrade."
Jin Anlong's expression suddenly changed, and a dazzling light flashed in his eyes. A kind of joy that someone finally understood him jumped out of his heart.
"General …" Jin Anlong wanted to say something. However, he wasn't good with words so he didn't know what to say.
"Alright, let's stop being so pretentious. Let's make this battle a perfect one. This will require your hard work. "Qi Yaoyang laughed heartily. He patted Jin Anlong's shoulder and walked into the hover car.
Jin Anlong looked at Qi Yaoyang's tall back view and smiled. Perhaps, he had found a chief who could be loyal to him.
