Qi Yaoyang closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds. Then, he stood up and ordered, "Send the general's order to the 7th division. Ask them to attack."
His adjutant immediately ran to the mainframe and sent Qi Yaoyang's order to the 7th division.
"What about us?" Vice General Jin Anlong asked in a low voice. He had seen the general's deduction and order. The 7th division was fine but the 13th and 4th divisions were in a difficult situation.
If they followed the general's order, they wouldn't be able to send god-class operators to save Lingtian Independent Army and their commander, Ling Lan. However, if the general was really surrounded and they didn't send any reinforcements, the general and his son would be in danger. However, this was a good opportunity for them to achieve something.
"Feign an attack. Inform Lord Muqi and Lord Zhong to go to the Qingri wormhole secretly." Qi Yaoyang gave up on attacking and chose to help Ling Xiao.
"Okay." Jin Anlong felt that it was a pity but he agreed with Qi Yaoyang's decision. Achieving something and killing Twilight was important but the safety of their comrades was more important.
Jin Anlong contacted King Muqi and Falling Snow. Under Qi Yaoyang's instructions, the two of them piloted their god-class mechas and left the headquarters. After a few flashes, they disappeared into the galaxy.
"Reporting, Marshal." In the First Marshal's mansion on Planet General, the First Marshal was dealing with some matters. He raised his head slightly and revealed a stern expression.
"What's the matter?" The First Marshal asked calmly. The person who came was his confidential advisor and also his confidant.
The confidant quickly replied, "I just received news from the headquarters that Base Nebula and the Independent Army are being chased by god-class operators. They requested us to send god-class operators to help them. The 23rd division also sent news that they are rushing towards the Qingri wormhole."
The First Marshal's expression froze. After a few seconds, he asked, "Where is Ling Xiao?"
Feeling the invisible pressure from the marshal, the confidential adviser couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. After calming himself down, he replied, "They should also be rushing to the Qingri passage."
The First Marshal's entire body turned cold. The intelligence officer felt as if he was in a blizzard. He couldn't help but shiver. Fortunately, this bone-piercing chill only swept past and disappeared without a trace in the next second, causing this confidential staff officer to think that it was just an illusion.
"I understand," the First Marshal replied slowly. The intelligence officer seemed to have heard a faint sigh from the First Marshal.
"Then …" The confidential adviser asked cautiously. He didn't forget the request of the headquarters. He didn't know if the marshal would agree.
"I will arrange it." The First Marshal waved his hand at him.
Seeing this, the confidential advisor quietly retreated.
After the door closed automatically, the First Marshal, who was originally calm and indifferent, finally removed his disguise.
"Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao, you disappoint me." The First Marshal closed his eyes in agony. He leaned weakly against the back of his chair.
Although he wasn't the one who set up the trap this time, he knew a little about it. The reason why he let the enemy do whatever they wanted was because he wanted to take the opportunity to dig out the ultimate boss who was hiding in the Federation and obviously sitting in a high position. He wanted to uproot the spy organization that was trying to overthrow the Federation.
Not only that, this was also a test for Ling Xiao. He wanted to see if Ling Xiao was qualified enough to take his position. Ling Xiao's choice undoubtedly disappointed him.
After remaining silent for a few seconds, the First Marshal slammed the table in front of him. He stood up and pressed a button on the optical supercomputer on his table. "Inform Lord of the East to rush to the Qingri passage immediately and rescue the Lingtian Independent Army."
"Yes, Marshal!" The optical supercomputer immediately forwarded the First Marshal's order to Lord of the East.
The First Marshal, who made this arrangement, slowly sat down. After remaining silent for a long time, he sighed softly. "Ling Xiao, I can only help you up to this point. As for what happens after that, it will depend on your own ability."
No matter how dissatisfied he was with Ling Xiao, he was still a disciple that he had brought up. Ling Xiao also had an inexplicable relationship with him. "I'm old now …"
He couldn't be as cold and decisive as he was in his prime. A bitter smile appeared on the First Marshal's face. For his own ideals, for the Huaxia Federation, he gave his all. He could proudly say that he didn't let down the heavens and his people.
However, if there was a country, there would be no home. The only person he let down was his family. Sometimes, he would ask himself if he regretted it. In the end, the answer was that he never regretted it.
To be honest, as a person who cared about his country and his people, he didn't like Ling Xiao's love life and Ling Xiao's indecisiveness. If he was just a normal elder, Ling Xiao would be the grandson-in-law he would be most satisfied with. He loved his wife and children and was loyal to her. He would definitely be a good husband and father. However, he was the First Marshal. Ling Xiao was the successor he groomed. Back then, he asked Ling Xiao to hide his god-class operator status to avoid the rule that god-class operators couldn't become marshals.
Everything he did was to clear all obstacles for Ling Xiao. Unfortunately, when he fell sick that year, the hidden mastermind took advantage of the conflict between the three major factions in the military and successfully plotted against Ling Xiao. Although he tried his best to turn the situation around, losing Ling Xiao was still a huge blow to the First Marshal's faction.
The First Marshal, who had the final say, was successfully suppressed by the other two marshals. He couldn't do as he pleased. After that, the First Marshal's faction used more than ten years to slowly suppress the other two. Then, they used Ling Xiao's resurrection to push Ling Xiao to the position of a general and the general of the 23rd division while the other two factions were still in a state of shock. This allowed the First Marshal's faction to once again have the upper hand in the military. It could be said that the future of the First Marshal's faction was very optimistic.
Just when the First Marshal thought that everything was going on the right track, he discovered Ling Xiao's fatal weakness. He loved his wife and children as much as he loved his own life.
This was the biggest taboo for a person in power. It should be known that a marshal controlled the future and prosperity of the Federation. The most outstanding person in power must be rational and calm. It would be best if they were cold-blooded and heartless. This way, they wouldn't be affected by their emotions and make a huge mistake. Without a doubt, Ling Xiao was definitely not qualified in this aspect.
At that moment, the First Marshal had no choice but to reconsider the problem of his successor. However, the First Marshal noticed something that made him feel awkward. During the years Ling Xiao had been sacrificed, he had groomed another person to be his successor. At first, he was satisfied with the result. However, after Ling Xiao came back, other than the relationship problems, Ling Xiao was much better than the First Marshal in all other aspects. The First Marshal didn't want to give up on Ling Xiao's talent.
