It would be great if the two of them could combine their strengths. Sometimes, the First Marshal would think this way too. The other successor would definitely be calm and decisive. When it was time to be ruthless, he wouldn't show any mercy. He was just like him when he was young.
Theoretically, the First Marshal still felt that the other person was more suitable for this position. However, emotionally, he still hoped that it would be Ling Xiao. Thus, the First Marshal decided to give Ling Xiao another chance. This time, it would depend on Ling Xiao's decision.
The First Marshal believed that Ling Xiao would be able to see through this. If he could make the right decision as a commander, then when Ling Xiao came back victorious, it would be time for him to push Ling Xiao up to the position.
During an intergalactic war, the rule that god-class operators couldn't become marshals could be ignored.
The First Marshal let Ling Xiao choose whether he wanted to choose his country or his home. In the end, his decision was decided.
While the various parties were moving, Ling Xiao was already fighting with four people.
Four people? Fighting? Is this real?
It's hard to imagine, right? However, you didn't see wrongly. Ling Xiao was indeed fighting with four god-class operators. However, it wasn't what you thought. Four god-class operators were attacking Ling Xiao at close range. Ling Xiao was controlling two god-class operators from afar. At the same time, he was fighting with two god-class operators at close range.
Ling Xiao held a sword in one hand and a beam gun in the other. Under the attacks of two god-class operators, he performed a dance of death. Every time he felt that he was about to be hit, he would miraculously dodge the attack. Not only that, in such an intense battle, he was also able to snipe the other two god-class operators from afar. He used his beam gun and the 12 wings on his back to control the other two god-class operators a few thousand meters away. They couldn't get close to him.
"So this is the Great General, this is the Fire Phoenix. Too, too, too powerful." Luo Lang and Xie Yi's jaws dropped. They were stunned by Ling Xiao.
Originally, they thought that no matter how strong Ling Xiao was, he would definitely be in a difficult situation when facing four god-class operators. However, they didn't expect that when the two sides fought, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage. Moreover, the general's unpredictable mecha dance moves were so elegant and graceful. They really admired him. Their eyes were filled with admiration.
Li Lanfeng was also looking at Ling Xiao with admiration. However, he was not as shocked as Ling Lan and Xie Yi. Perhaps because the one fighting was not Ling Lan, Li Lanfeng became much calmer. After a few glances, he could see some things.
"Ling Lan, isn't that the Ghostly Steps you taught us in the military academy?" Li Lanfeng asked in the team's commlink channel.
After drinking a bottle of agent, Ling Lan had finally gotten over the initial pain. When she heard Li Lanfeng's question, she replied in a low voice, "Yes, the root of this footwork is the Ghostly Steps. Everyone's control of the footwork is different. Father's Ghostly Steps is already another type of sublimation."
This was her father. He had only seen her use the Ghostly Steps once and he had copied it perfectly. After not seeing her for a few years, he had managed to perfectly integrate the Ghostly Steps with his own control. He had even made the originally abrupt and strange Ghostly Steps look so elegant. It had become a mesmerizing and beautiful dance move, making people involuntarily lose themselves in it, unable to extricate themselves.
Ling Lan answered Li Lanfeng's question, but Li Lanfeng did not pay attention to her words. Instead, his attention was drawn to Ling Lan's slightly hoarse voice. "You're holding it."
This was not a question, but a statement. There was something different about Ling Lan — Li Lanfeng, who had placed all his attention on Ling Lan, instantly noticed it.
"There will always be some backlash when controlling above one's level. However, it's fine. I've already drunk the agent Shiyu prepared for me. I'm fine now, don't worry." Ling Lan replied nonchalantly. She did not want Li Lanfeng and the others to worry.
Li Lanfeng swallowed his heartache. This was not the time for him to be concerned. He only hoped that Ling Lan was telling the truth and not lying to him.
He was still not strong enough! Li Lanfeng clenched his fists tightly. He despised himself. Why was it that every time Ling Lan needed help, he could only watch helplessly? If …
He looked at the powerful man who was fighting with the four god-class operators — Ling Xiao. If he could become as strong as him one day, he would be able to protect Ling Lan. He would not be despising himself here.
'In the past, I wanted to stand at the top because I wanted to change my fate. Today, I want to stand at the top for my rabbit.' 'Maybe I can't be the strongest because my rabbit will definitely be the strongest. However, I still want to be the one who stands above everyone else.'
At that moment, the 23rd division had already arrived at Puqi Starfield. After passing through this starfield, they would enter Qingri Starfield. They would not be far from the Qingri wormhole.
"Beep beep beep beep beep …" Suddenly, an emergency alarm sounded from the starship at the front.
All the starships immediately activated their combat mode. All the mecha operators rushed to the mecha hold and boarded their mechas. They were ready to go into battle at any moment.
When they were ready, they saw an enormous fleet slowly appear in the boundless sea of stars.
"It's the Hejia Army from Twilight." Every soldier in the Federation knew the symbol of the nine main armies of Twilight. When they saw the symbol of the cherry blossom demon on the starships, they instantly shouted.
The Hejia Army, who had been hiding all this while, actually appeared here. As the temporary commanding officer of the 23rd division, He Xuyang's heart skipped a beat. He felt that something was wrong.
"Look, another fleet appeared on the left." Just as everyone was shocked by the appearance of the Hejia Army, another huge fleet appeared on the left.
"It's the Zaoyi Army." This was another piece of bad news. This fleet was one of the nine regular armies of the Twilight Empire. The 23rd division was surrounded by two regular armies of the Twilight Empire the moment they revealed themselves. Without a doubt, this would be the most difficult and dangerous battle the 23rd division would face ever since they entered the Twilight Empire. If they were unlucky, they might even lose their entire division here.
He Xuyang felt his heart twitching. He had a feeling that he was going to collapse under the pressure of this life-and-death situation. Instantly, his forehead was filled with sweat.
Just facing two regular armies was already so stressful. Back then, when the general led them across the entire Twilight Star Region and faced the entire Twilight Star Nation, how did he manage to ignore the pressure that could have wiped them out if he was not careful?
He Xuyang felt that his admiration for the general deepened. At that time, he actually didn't worry at all. He happily followed the general around the Twilight Starfield as though it was his own home.
