Luo Yang saw Tian Fang's gaze and said angrily, "You should ask the lieutenant general yourself."
It looked like Luo Yang was angry. That was why he didn't want to say anything.
Although Tian Fang was suspicious, he still smiled and sat in front of Ling Lan. He asked, "Lieutenant general, can you tell me what happened?"
Ling Lan's current condition wasn't much better than when she was injured during the battle on Planet Haijiao. Her collar and sleeves were exposed so Tian Fang could clearly see the bandages. However, because of Ling Lan's casual appearance, Tian Fang had a misconception that the injury wasn't that serious.
Hearing Tian Fang's question, Ling Lan replied calmly, "It's nothing. I just told Senior Colonel Luo that I'm going back to the Federation."
This sentence caused the smile on Tian Fang's face to freeze.
"Erm, lieutenant general, can you say that again? I think there's something wrong with my ears." Tian Fang picked his ears and asked in disbelief.
"I'm going back to the Federation." Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and stated her decision clearly.
"Lord Lieutenant General, are you joking?" Tian Fang laughed out loud.
"I never joke when it comes to important matters," Ling Lan replied calmly.
Tian Fang pulled his hair and cursed silently. He didn't expect Ling Lan to want to go back to the Federation in such a dangerous situation.
Even a powerful general died because of those people's schemes. If Ling Lan went back, it would be like sending a lamb to a tiger's den.
"Don't be too agitated. I'm just going back once. After I'm done, I'll come back immediately." Ling Lan knew that Tian Fang didn't have any bad intentions. He was just worried about her so she explained.
Tian Fang turned to look at Li Lanfeng and asked in a serious tone, "Do you agree with him too?" He heard that Li Lanfeng was a smart and cunning person. Why didn't he stop the lieutenant general from doing such a stupid thing?
"I will listen to you, Lieutenant General." Li Lanfeng's reply was very calm, but Tian Fang could see the helplessness in Li Lanfeng's eyes. It seemed that Tian Fang had tried to dissuade the Lieutenant General from making this decision before, but in the end, he had failed.
"Although we belong to different legions, according to the rules of war, if we lose contact with our legions and become scattered soldiers, the one with the highest military rank will be the highest commander. Therefore, you are our commander. Logically speaking, I have no right to object to your decision. " Tian Fang's face was cold as he said, "However, this decision of yours is too dangerous and even irrational. I have to ask you the reason for your return. If you can't convince me, I won't agree to let you return to the Federation. "
Tian Fang's words made Luo Yang's expression become firm. It was clear that if he couldn't convince the two of them and wanted to leave, it would be a bloodbath.
Ling Lan looked at Tian Fang and Luo Yang. Her heart was filled with emotions. Back then, when she was young and arrogant, she led the freshmen on their ship and seized control of the 7th Bugle Call. It should be said that her actions had offended them. Even though Ling Lan had asked her father to clean up the mess for her and transfer the 7th Bugle Call to the 23rd division to avoid their punishment, in the end, it was all because of her. If they were narrow-minded, they would have hated her for the rest of their lives. She didn't expect that in the end, the ones who rushed out to save her would be them. In the end, they even chose to betray the Federation for her and escaped to a country with a third faction.
Of course, Ling Lan knew that the reason why the two of them were so loyal to her was because of her father. The longer she stayed in the military, the more she knew how important her father, Ling Xiao, was in the hearts of the soldiers. It wasn't just respect for high ranking officials on the surface, it was respect from the bottom of their hearts. The terrifying effect of her father's "sacrifice" for 16 years had a lot to do with the image of a prodigy and a perfect god of war that the military had painstakingly created. Just like that, over the years, it had influenced a generation of soldiers. As time passed, this batch of soldiers grew up to become middle and high ranking officers in the military. These officers in turn influenced the soldiers they led. This respect was deeply engraved in the hearts of the soldiers at the bottom of the military. It took root and grew strong.
When Ling Xiao "revived" and returned to the military and became a general, the military realized how stupid their decision back then was. They had forcefully pushed out a god of war that was above the three great marshals and the military. Perhaps, this was also why some people wanted to scheme against Ling Xiao while others chose to ignore him. Ling Xiao's existence really affected the rights of too many people.
Ling Lan didn't want these two people who cared about her to be sad. She thought for a moment and replied, "There's no news of my father. It's a huge blow to my mother. If there's no news of me, I'm afraid that my mother won't be able to take it."
At this point, Ling Lan's eyes narrowed slightly. "My father is already in trouble. I don't want anything to happen to my mother. Otherwise, even if I manage to escape, what's the point?"
Ling Lan's words made Tian Fang's mouth move, but he couldn't say anything.
"The general's wife is heavily guarded. I'm afraid that it'll be difficult to get close to her. Also, I'm sure that there are many people watching her. In the end, you'll have to go back to see her," Luo Yang said. No matter where they escaped to or how long it took, they still had to go back to the Federation. After all, their roots were there. They had to take revenge for scheming against General Ling Xiao.
"I know. However, I'm confident that I won't alert them." In terms of mecha piloting, there were many people who were better than her. She didn't dare to guarantee that. However, in terms of physical skills, other than her master, Mu Shui-qing, it wouldn't be easy for other imperial realm formidable warriors to discover her. The only problem was that without Little Four, it would be troublesome to enter Planet General.
However, as long as she wanted to, there would definitely be a way.
"Who are you bringing with you? Don't tell me it's just one person. I definitely won't agree. " Tian Fang knew that he couldn't stop Ling Lan. He could only think of ways to increase the number of people protecting Ling Lan so that he could come back safely.
"It's better to have quality than quantity. I'll bring Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang," Ling Lan replied.
"No, the three of you are too few. It's too dangerous." Tian Fang rejected her without thinking.
"It's very troublesome to fake an identity. I, Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang have fake identities when we were doing missions in the past," Ling Lan explained.
"You don't have to worry about that. We used to be an adventurer team. We can disguise ourselves as an adventurer team and enter the Federation," Tian Fang refuted.
"Adventurer teams can only enter the Federation. Only soldiers or people with clean backgrounds can enter Planet General." Ling Lan replied, "Also, if you're not strong enough, you'll just be a burden. Major General Tian Fang, don't forget that your people lost to me in the past."
This sentence made Tian Fang speechless. In the end, he could only say helplessly, "In that case, be careful."
"Okay." Ling Lan nodded and stood up. Li Lanfeng quickly covered her with a cloak.
Tian Fang also stood up and sent Ling Lan out of the captain's room. When they reached the door, he suddenly said, "Lieutenant General, the repair of the 7th Bugle Call will take around 45 days. If you don't come back in 45 days, we will bring the 7th Bugle Call back to the Federation. We won't have anything to do with you anymore."
This was Tian Fang's decision. It was also a reminder. His words were heartless but they contained concern and hope. In the end, Tian Fang hoped that Ling Lan could come back safely and take the 7th Bugle Call back to where he should go. He wanted to achieve glory again.
"I understand." Ling Lan extended her hand.
Tian Fang also extended his hand. The two of them shook hands firmly. This was their promise to each other.
