"Maybe Lingtian has already retrieved all of their mechas." Major General Di saw the logisticians of the Lingtian Independent Army dragging a relatively intact imperial mecha back to the starship so he voiced his opinion.
"That makes sense. It has been a long time since the Lingtian Independent Army asked us to wait at the back. If the battle ended quickly, they would have enough time to clean up the battlefield." Major General Xu agreed.
The three of them didn't underestimate Lingtian anymore. Maybe, the military headquarters didn't send the Lingtian Independent Army over because they wanted to take care of them. Perhaps, the military headquarters trusted Lingtian and believed that they could escort the transport fleet safely to the frontline of the Twilight Empire.
Ling Lan didn't meet up with the transport fleet. Yang Mingzhi and the others were in charge of cleaning up the battlefield. When the transport fleet arrived, Ling Lan had already ordered Base Nebula to leave the battlefield and rush towards their destination.
This time, the transport fleet and Ling Lan's destination was the main logistics base of the Twilight Empire — Flying Feather Satellite Base.
After that, the transport fleet didn't encounter any more dangers. They arrived at Flying Feather Satellite Base smoothly.
Flying Feather Satellite Base was a man-made satellite. It was the size of the moon. It was built by the Federation to defend against the Twilight Empire.
Flying Feather Satellite Base wasn't like Base Nebula where people could move freely. It was restricted to a fixed orbit and moved according to the orbit.
Its defense and attack power weren't very strong but it was enough for a frontline base.
Ling Lan didn't choose to enter the base. She stopped a few thousand kilometers away from Flying Feather Satellite Base. At the same time, she asked Little Four to block off the entire Base Nebula. As long as Base Nebula didn't move and didn't generate any heat, they would need the help of Lady Luck to find them.
After Yang Mingzhi and the others received Ling Lan's order, they followed the transport fleet and entered Flying Feather Satellite Base.
After Ling Lan ordered Base Nebula to move, Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong and the ten mecha teams separated from Base Nebula. Unless Ling Lan contacted them, they wouldn't know what was going on in Base Nebula.
It wasn't that Ling Lan didn't trust them. She just wanted them to have nothing to do with Base Nebula. Ever since Ling Lan received the transfer order, the sense of crisis in her heart had been shrouding her and had not dissipated.
When one's strength reached a certain level, one would naturally sense danger. Back then, Ling Xiao had made preparations and left behind his legacy. Ling Lan had also made some arrangements to deal with the worst-case scenario.
Qi Yaoyang heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that Lingtian Independent Army had safely escorted the three transport fleets back to Earth. Although he believed in Ling Lan, as Zilong's father, he was always worried about his son's safety.
Qi Yaoyang's heart skipped a beat when his adjutant said that the Twilight Empire had sent an imperial class elite to ambush the transport fleet. If he didn't know that the transport fleet was safe, he would have jumped up. An imperial operator from a special mecha clan might not be a big deal in the eyes of an official division but to a newly formed independent army with many problems and a transport mecha clan that didn't have much combat power, it was definitely a disaster.
"How many imperial operators did the Lingtian Independent Army manage to kill them? How many of them were injured?" Qi Yaoyang couldn't believe it. Even his Iron Blood Mecha Clan would have to pay a heavy price to defeat an imperial class mecha clan.
Because Base Nebula was a secret base, the condition of the two mecha operators who were severely injured and sent to the base wasn't announced to the public. They only announced the injuries of the members of the 10 Destruction Devil teams. Qi Yaoyang's first reaction was to think that the Lingtian Independent Army was trying to increase their military success by exaggerating the truth and lying to him.
However, Qi Yaoyang knew that this was impossible. Other divisions needed military achievements but the Lingtian Independent Army didn't. No matter how many military achievements they had, Lingtian wouldn't be able to use them up with their current situation.
"Let's go to Base Feiyu and take a look at them." Although Qi Yaoyang trusted Ling Lan, he still decided to go there personally. He would only be relieved if he saw that they were safe.
Qi Yaoyang arrived at Base Feiyu and went to the port where the three Destruction Devils were parked. He saw Yang Mingzhi, Liu Furong, Zilong, and the other team leaders waiting for him at the cabin door.
They saluted Qi Yaoyang when they saw him.
Qi Yaoyang glanced at the energetic young man beside him and said, "Don't act like this. Go to your command room and tell me about the battle at the Qingri wormhole."
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong looked at each other and smiled. They brought Qi Yaoyang to the command room of the Destruction Devil. A beautiful lieutenant colonel was talking to the mainframe of the starship.
The lieutenant colonel turned around when she heard the commotion. Her eyes lit up when she saw Qi Yaoyang. She quickly saluted him. "General."
"Luo Chao, long time no see. You've grown so big." Qi Yaoyang's stern face turned gentle when he saw Luo Chao. Ever since the twins from the Luo family and his son followed Ling Lan, the Luo family became closer to him. Every holiday, the children from the Luo family and the Han family would come to his house as guests. Qi Yaoyang had a deep impression of Luo Lang and Luo Chao. After all, it was rare for twins to look so similar.
"Come, sit down." Qi Yaoyang sat down and asked everyone to sit down.
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong didn't come from the same era as Qi Yaoyang. However, they were only a few years apart. Hence, they didn't feel awkward and chose a seat to sit down. The youngsters, such as Li Yingjie, were nervous when they saw Qi Yaoyang. He was known as the Invincible God of War for more than 20 years. He was known as the Invincible God of War by the enemy. Luckily, under Ling Lan's training, they were able to overcome their nervousness quickly.
"Where's your commander?" Qi Yaoyang looked around and didn't see Ling Lan. He was surprised.
"This time, it was the commander who ordered me and Liu Furong to lead ten special brigades to escort the transport fleet," Yang Mingzhi replied calmly. "As for the commander, he will follow and protect them in secret."
Yang Mingzhi knew that he wouldn't be able to hide the battle at the Qingri wormhole from an experienced mecha operator like Qi Yaoyang. Hence, he told him the truth. Of course, he was so straightforward because he knew that Zilong was their ally. With his identity as Zilong's father, he had to protect them no matter what.
