"But I still have to go." Ling Xiao's eyes were filled with determination. "That's my child. As a father, I have to save him."
"General!" He Xuyang understood Ling Xiao's decision. However, as the chief of staff of the 23rd division and General Ling Xiao's right-hand man, he couldn't let Ling Xiao take the risk. Even if it was for Young Master Lan, he couldn't allow him to do so.
In He Xuyang's heart, Ling Xiao was the most important person. He was much more important than Young Master Lan.
"You're a god-class operator of the Federation. You're the commander-in-chief of the army and the general of the 23rd division. If something happens to you, the Federation will be in danger. The army will be in danger. The 23rd division will be in danger. Please reconsider. "He Xuyang tried to stop him.
"Xuyang, you think too highly of me. Without me, the Federation will still be able to stand strong. Lieutenant General Qi Yaoyang is a good commander of the army. Without me, the army will still be able to operate smoothly. The only thing I'm sorry about is the soldiers of the 23rd division. Because of my stubbornness, they will be in danger. However, I believe that with you around, you will still be able to protect them. That's why I'm handing the 23rd division over to you. " Ling Xiao pressed down on He Xuyang's shoulder. He handed over his responsibility to He Xuyang, who had followed him for a long time. He Xuyang had outstanding capabilities and he trusted him a lot.
In Ling Xiao's heart, he trusted He Xuyang more than the friends he made when he was young. The seventeen years of emptiness made Ling Xiao, who had returned once again, not dare to fully trust them.
"General, I refuse. Without you, I won't be able to bring the 23rd division out of danger. General, you're Young Master Lan's father but aren't you the father of all the officers in the 23rd division? You can't bear to leave Young Master Lan but can you bear to leave the billions of soldiers in the 23rd division? "He Xuyang couldn't control his anger.
At this moment, He Xuyang only had one thought in his mind, and that was to force the Great General to stay. He absolutely could not watch the Great General jump into a trap despite knowing it was one.
"You're right. In this aspect, I'm not qualified to be a legion commander." Ling Xiao's gaze turned gloomy. "I can't be selfless. I can't abandon my country. My heart is a little small. I can only put my wife and children in it first. Only when they are safe will I be able to put other people in it. I will put them in the Federation that I love and the entire 23rd Division. This is the real me, Ling Xiao, a normal person who has a family before his country."
"Xuyang, I've let you down." Ling Xiao smiled bitterly.
"General, that's a trap." He Xuyang shook his head and said, "Even if you go, Young Master Lan might not be able to be saved. He might even have to sacrifice you. Was it worth it? Yes, General, you can't let go of Young Master Lan, but can you let go of Madam Ling? Are you willing to let Madam lose two family members at once? "
"Xuyang, we won't." Ling Xiao shouted sternly. Then, he said with a determined gaze, "I will bring Ling Lan back. I, Ling Xiao, will definitely not let Ling Lan die here. This is a father's promise."
"General …" Ling Xiao's shout made He Xuyang calm down. He felt bitter in his heart. The determination in the general's eyes told him that his decision couldn't be changed. No one could stop him. Even if Madam Ling came personally, she wouldn't be able to change General Ling Xiao's decision.
"Xuyang … if … the 23rd Division will depend on you." Ling Xiao's lips moved. In the end, he told He Xuyang his plan.
His god-class operator's intuition told him that this trip was too dangerous. He didn't know if he would survive. He had no choice but to prepare for the worst.
Ling Xiao quickly boarded his Belief. When the mecha cabin closed, a cold smile appeared on his face.
"I lost this round. I can't be as heartless as you. However, if I come back alive, I will slowly settle this score with you … My Great Marshal Lan. "
After saying this, the engine of Belief suddenly roared. The mecha instantly flew out of the command ship and headed towards the endless galaxy. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.
He Xuyang stared at the big screen and watched as Ling Xiao's Belief left the galaxy. His mind was filled with thoughts. Finally, he stood up and pressed the command button. "Latest order. The 23rd Division is to prepare for battle. In 10 minutes, which is 13.15 minutes, we will move out and head towards the Qingri wormhole."
After this order, the entire 23rd Division started moving.
He Xuyang looked at the galaxy and muttered, "General, I'm sorry. I'm the same as you. I'm not a competent strategist. I can't just sit back and watch you put yourself in danger. In that case, let me go with you. I believe that we will be able to fight our way out. "
At that moment, in the captain's room of one of the Destruction Devils, the starship's optical supercomputer was adjusting the temperature of the Destruction Devil while talking to the captain. It asked curiously, "General Ling Xiao left a long time ago. Why are we leaving so late?"
The captain of the starship was a middle-aged major general. He patiently explained, "That's because it takes a few minutes for the fleet to warm up. It takes time for the personnel to prepare for battle. It's reasonable for us to leave 10 minutes later." He didn't sound like he was talking to a rigid optical supercomputer. Instead, he sounded like he was talking to a relative.
"I understand." The optical supercomputer's screen moved up and down. It seemed to be nodding.
"7th Bugle Call, when can you call me 'Daddy'?" The captain suddenly asked. It wasn't easy for him to raise such a cute mainframe.
"My name is Little Seven, not 7th Bugle Call." The optical supercomputer suddenly got agitated.
"Please. You transferred over from the 7th Bugle Call. If your name isn't 7th Bugle Call, then what is it?" The captain pouted.
"My name is Little Seven. My boss is … Hmph, I'm not going to talk to you anymore." Little Seven said angrily.
"Who is your boss? I've been asking you for so long but you won't tell me … "The captain didn't give up and asked again. Unfortunately, the optical supercomputer was too angry to care about its bad master.
"Okay, okay. I won't ask you anymore. Erm, Little Seven, can't you call me 'Daddy'?" The captain suddenly put on a sorrowful expression and said, "I've raised you since you were born. No matter what, I still owe you a debt of gratitude for raising you. Call me daddy. This request isn't too much, right?"
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, I'm cutting ties with you now!" On the virtual screen, such a sentence suddenly appeared, indicating that it was not done being angry.
"You really know how to get angry …" The captain saw that there was no hope for him so he returned to normal and said helplessly.
At this time, the door to the captain's room opened and a senior colonel walked in. "Tian Fang, you're still chatting with your little mainframe?"
"Luo Yang, what's the matter?" Major General Tian Fang's expression turned serious as he asked.
They were the captain of the 7th Bugle Call and the staff officer Luo Yang. They had been in charge of the assessment when Ling Lan went to the military academy. Back then, their military ranks were still senior colonel and major. Now, under Ling Xiao's command, they had been promoted to major general and senior colonel.
