"This time, the general went first and we followed after him 10 minutes later. This isn't the general's style," Luo Yang replied worriedly.
"Something must have happened. However, we just need to listen to the orders of the higher-ups and be prepared for battle." Tian Fang did not care about such details. Ever since he arrived at the hinterland of Twilight, he had mentally prepared himself for a series of tough battles. However, General Tian Fang's strategy was unpredictable and unpredictable. He led them to avoid the encirclement and pursuit of Twilight and successfully ambushed many military logistics bases. This made the journey very easy for them.
However, guerrilla warfare was just a process. In the end, they would have to fight a tough battle.
Luo Yang also had the same guess. "It seems like it's time to fight."
"It's time," Tian Fang's eyes lit up as he said calmly.
The longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the Federation. Now, many countries were participating in a small intergalactic war. Once Caesar, who was on the same level as the Federation, decided to join in, it would really become a large-scale intergalactic war. The Federation would have to fight against Caesar. The pressure and difficulties they faced would be many times greater than now. The outcome would be unpredictable.
In Base Nebula, Luo Lang was focused on controlling the base. He didn't notice Xie Yi silently leaving.
"Meng Lan, how far away are the pursuers from us?" The calm personality asked coldly. He needed to know the position of the pursuers and then calculate the most efficient escape route.
"They're already 30 kilometers away," Meng Lan replied immediately.
"Huh?" The calm personality raised his head in shock. A few seconds ago, the pursuers were still 20 kilometers away. Every time he asked, the distance between them was getting shorter. Why did they suddenly become so far away?
"Sir Ling Lan has already intercepted them." Meng Lan understood Luo Lang's doubts so she gave him the answer.
"How can that be?" Luo Lang shouted agitatedly. The calmness in his eyes had disappeared. The primary personality instantly returned to normal after hearing this answer.
"Don't be agitated. Sir Ling Lan wants you to bring Base Nebula and break through the barrier set by the enemy." Meng Lan calmly relayed Ling Lan's order.
"How can I not be agitated? That's a god-class mecha. There's no way Boss is a match for him. Boss is obviously going to die..." Luo Lang was too agitated. He released the safety belt and stood up from the control seat.
Before Luo Lang released his seatbelt, Meng Lan automatically switched from manual to mainframe control. Base Nebula maintained its fastest speed and flew forward.
"Luo Lang, calm down," the calm personality shouted in Luo Lang's mindscape.
Luo Lang suddenly felt his mind go cold and clear. His gaze instantly calmed down.
"Sorry, I lost my composure." Luo Lang apologized to Meng Lan.
"It's fine," Meng Lan said calmly. "I understand how you feel because I'm also very worried."
"Meng Lan, I'll leave Base Nebula to you." Luo Lang had already made his decision.
"What do you want? Senior Colonel Luo Lang? "Meng Lan frowned in the virtual screen.
"I can't let Boss fight alone," Luo Lang replied as he walked out of the control room. "I want to fight together with Boss."
"If Master Ling Lan can't do it, you're just going to die. Plus, Major General Li is already following her." For the first time, Meng Lan couldn't maintain her composure as a mainframe. She was flustered and exasperated.
She didn't agree with Master Ling Lan going out to fight. However, the mainframe chip had a rule that it had to obey Master Ling Lan unconditionally so she couldn't say anything against it. She could only silently watch as Master Ling Lan left Base Nebula. Major General Li went to help Master Ling Lan. She was too worried about Master Ling Lan so she let him go. However, after regaining her composure, Meng Lan knew that it was a mistake to allow Major General Li to go out. If one more person went, it would just be a waste of a life.
Meng Lan knew that Master Ling Lan sacrificed herself to stop the enemy so that everyone in the base, including herself and Little Four and Floret's clones, could escape the fate of death and survive. She couldn't let Master Ling Lan's efforts go to waste.
Luo Lang entered the password for the door but the door didn't respond. The entire Base Nebula was under Meng Lan's control. Meng Lan didn't allow Luo Lang to leave. Unless Luo Lang forcefully broke down the door, he wouldn't be able to leave.
"Meng Lan." Luo Lang immediately understood who was behind this.
"Master Ling Lan's order is for you to control the base to break through the barrier and ask for help from the main command center," Meng Lan said coldly.
"You can do it even without me. But Boss … Although I'm not strong enough, it's still good to have one more person, "Luo Lang said angrily.
"If Master can't stop the god-class mechas, you will only be cannon fodder. I can't let you die." Meng Lan was determined to carry out Ling Lan's order.
"I know I'm cannon fodder … but I can block a fatal shot for Boss. If I can buy some time, Boss might be able to wait for reinforcements. I just want to increase Boss's chances of survival. It's just for that one possibility. Can't I do that? "Luo Lang had a pained expression on his face. He hated himself for being so useless. If they were god-class operators and stood at the top of the world, their Boss wouldn't have to sacrifice himself to give them a chance to survive.
In the end, they were still too weak.
Luo Lang was a proud person. Under Ling Lan's lead, he walked step by step to become a powerful mecha operator. He was already a quasi-imperial mecha operator at such a young age so he could look down on most of the prodigies in the Federation. He was once proud of himself. Although he couldn't be compared to Zilong, who had an insane physique, he was still a genius. Even Li Lanfeng, who was a mysterious genius, wouldn't be able to surpass him in a short period of time.
Luo Lang believed that as long as he listened to Boss's guidance and trained himself step by step, he might not be able to become a god-class operator with his talent but he was confident that he could become the strongest imperial operator.
But now, having the strongest imperial operator was no longer enough to satisfy Luo Lang's heart. He didn't want to see Boss standing in front of them every time they were in danger, paving a bloody path for them. He hoped that one day, he would be able to stand in front of Boss and fight for him.
Luo Lang's words made Meng Lan fall silent. One second later, the door of the control room suddenly opened, indicating Meng Lan's final decision. Luo Lang's last sentence made Meng Lan's emotions take over.
"Thank you, Meng Lan!" Luo Lang said gratefully and then ran out.
"I hope I won't regret this decision," Meng Lan muttered to herself. Then, her virtual image disappeared from the control room.
