Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Within a few seconds, the information regarding the attack on planet Demonbeast was displayed on the large screen of the command centre. When he saw that familiar egg-shaped object, the commander instantly understood. Rage burned in his heart as he cursed, "Goddammit, it's those f * cking Twilight people again."
"Chief, the information says that egg-shaped metal objects can avoid radar scanning..." The adjutant found the information he wanted at a glance. It looked like his memory had not been wrong — radar was indeed useless against these egg-shaped metal objects.
"So that's how it is. Give the order. Do not trust the radar. Use infrared telescopes to search the sky." The commander had also seen the information and slammed his palm down, ordering furiously.
"Yes! Chief! " The officers below obeyed and passed down the commander's orders. While the anti-air cannon fodder troops on the ground were paying close attention to the sky, the team leaders of the New Cadet Regiment led their team members to gather in front of Ling Lan's villa.
Li Lanfeng, Li Shiyu, and Chang Xinyuan were the last to arrive because they had arrived a little later than Ling Lan. When they saw that the Floret Garden in front of Ling Lan's villa was already filled with people, they were shocked, but at the same time, they could sense the hidden power behind Ling Lan.
The moment they entered the living room, they saw over 20 people either standing or sitting. Seeing these people, Li Lanfeng's eyes flashed. He knew all of these people — the Wuji Mecha Clan had collected detailed information on the New Cadet Regiment. These people were all the team leaders of the New Cadet Regiment and were likely to become team leaders in the future. Currently, they were all members of Ling Lan's New Cadet Regiment.
At this moment, Ling Lan was sitting on the sofa. Seeing Li Lanfeng and the others arrive, she only gave them a look, telling them to go find Zilong. Li Lanfeng and the others knew that Ling Lan was currently in a meeting with these people to discuss something, so they did not make a sound, quietly moving to Zilong's side.
When Zilong saw them arrive, he told Li Lanfeng and the others about the current situation. Li Lanfeng was shocked when he heard the news. After he received the news, he was on his way here when he suddenly heard the attack alarm. He knew that something big must have happened, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
However, Li Lanfeng quickly pushed the shock to the back of his mind and focused his attention on Ling Lan. He wanted to know what Ling Lan and the captains were discussing. After listening for a while, Li Lanfeng's expression became more and more solemn. He had not expected the rabbit to be so bold, actually having designs on the mecha storehouse at such a dangerous time.
"It's very clear that the upcoming battle will be a mecha battlefield. As individuals, we are too weak in front of mecha. There's no way we can resist at all. If we want to protect ourselves, we must obtain weapons of equal strength to the enemy." Ling Lan coldly voiced out her thoughts.
"Boss Lan, it's not that we don't trust your judgment, but we've never been on a real mecha before, especially the members below. Some of them have only just started learning how to operate mecha in Mecha World, so they don't have the ability to fight at all." At this time, one of the captains revealed the actual situation of the members under him. His words received the agreement of quite a few captains, because their team had quite a few members like this too.
"Is that so..." Ling Lan frowned at these words. Because her team members all knew how to operate mecha, she had momentarily forgotten that not every team was as tough as her team. Ling Lan thought for a moment and then said, "I was wrong... how about this, we'll split into two teams. Those who are confident in themselves can move with me, while those who are still unable to operate mecha will form the other team..."
Ling Lan paused for a moment, and then very quickly distributed a set of information to all the captains. She pointed at one of the locations marked with a red star and said, "The other team will go to this place. This is the most secure air defence base in the military academy. Once you enter, your safety will be assured."
Being able to find this safe air defence base was naturally also thanks to Little Four's efforts. The moment they had arrived at the military academy, Little Four had thoroughly investigated every nook and cranny of the military academy. There were about 30 air defence bases in the military academy, but only three of them were the most secure, and the one Ling Lan had given them was the one closest to them of the three.
Seeing this map, Wu Jiong's heart skipped a beat. He raised his head to look at Ling Lan, thinking to himself, could it be that Boss Lan's hacker skills were already so strong that he was unrivalled in the military academy? As someone who came from a military family, he knew very well that this map was definitely classified as a confidential document. For Ling Lan to be able to obtain it in such a short time, he must have used some unusual methods.
As if seeing the surprise and doubt in Wu Jiong's eyes, Li Lanfeng, who had been paying attention all this time, was startled and quickly said, "This map, I was the one who handed it to Boss Lan."
Perhaps Li Lanfeng had been too worried about the rabbit, so he had not thought too much about it. Since these team leaders were all part of the New Cadet Regiment, they should know a thing or two about some of Regiment Commander Ling Lan's abilities. Li Lanfeng had only had one thought at that time, and that was to help the rabbit hide his secret...
Li Lanfeng's words caused a flash of surprise to flash through Ling Lan's eyes. However, when Ling Lan saw the hidden worry in Li Lanfeng's eyes, she instantly understood why Li Lanfeng had said that...
The corners of Ling Lan's lips quirked up slightly, and she was amused. So, it felt pretty good to have someone worried for her. Enjoying this feeling, Ling Lan did not deny it. She leaned back against the sofa with a half-smile, waiting to see how Li Lanfeng would smooth over his panic.
Li Lanfeng's unexpected interruption made Wu Jiong turn his head in surprise. When he saw Li Lanfeng's people, his brow instantly furrowed.
Compared to Ling Lan and Zilong, who only focused on their own matters, Wu Jiong was clearly more like a regiment commander. In this period of time, he had completely grasped the information of the upper echelons of the various factions, and Li Lanfeng was one of them. Wu Jiong remembered very clearly that this person was the head strategist of the Wuji Mecha Clan. Although the Wuji Mecha Clan had taken in a new strategist this year, making his position somewhat unstable, it could not be denied that the reason the Wuji Mecha Clan had been able to suppress the Dwotong Central Alliance these past few years and occupy the third spot in the military academy was definitely due to this person's planning and strategizing.
As a new cadet faction, the other factions of the military academy were all opponents of the New Cadet Regiment. Then, why would this person who should be their opponent appear here? Wu Jiong's expression was guarded as he asked coldly, "As the strategist of the third faction of the military academy, the Wuji Mecha Clan, I want to know why you would hand this map to our regiment commander."
Wu Jiong did not suspect that this map had not been handed in by Li Lanfeng. As the head strategist of the Wuji Mecha Clan and a senior who had already been in the military academy for four years, it was still very possible for him to have obtained such a confidential map.
Wu Jiong's questioning caused Li Lanfeng to involuntarily enter his original role. Li Lanfeng smiled and said, "Because I have already left the Wuji Mecha Clan and wish to join Boss Lan's forces. This map is my proof of allegiance. Boss Lan, don't you think so? " Li Lanfeng's gaze turned towards Ling Lan, a faint pleading in his eyes, as if hoping that Ling Lan would cooperate with him.
Seeing this, Ling Lan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that is indeed the case." As expected of a black-bellied fellow, lying so easily... Ling Lan found that she actually did not really understand Li Lanfeng. However, Ling Lan believed that even if Li Lanfeng did not know her true identity, his sincerity in wanting to join her battle clan was unquestionable. This was also why Ling Lan still chose to believe Li Lanfeng even after knowing his true identity.
Wu Jiong was skeptical about Li Lanfeng's words, because no matter how he looked at it, the Wuji Mecha Clan, one of the top three, was much more attractive than the New Cadet Regiment whose future was uncertain. Smart people generally would not abandon Wuji and choose the New Cadet Regiment, and Li Lanfeng was precisely that type of smart person among smart people.
Wu Jiong was not satisfied with Li Lanfeng's explanation, but looking at the calm expression on Ling Lan's face, he set aside his doubts. Wu Jiong believed that since Ling Lan dared to accept Li Lanfeng, she must have a plan in mind. Perhaps there was some deeper meaning behind it, and Wu Jiong did not want to cause trouble and ruin Boss Lan's plans.
However, Wu Jiong was still worried and threatened, "I hope you do as you say... and don't disappoint Boss Lan." Strategists and whatnot were the most detestable. Those were all people who could not be seen through and were full of evil tricks — Wu Jiong was still somewhat wary of these kinds of people.
Faced with Wu Jiong's threat, Li Lanfeng maintained his smile, as if he had not heard anything, unbelievably calm. This made Wu Jiong feel somewhat discouraged — as expected, this fellow was not easy to deal with.
At this point, Ling Lan knew that this matter was considered over. There was no need to explain the source of the map, and this allowed Ling Lan to relax considerably. With a stern expression, she ordered all the team leaders, "Tally the data immediately. In five minutes, I want to know the names of the last two groups."
"Yes, Regiment Commander!" Everyone replied respectfully.
Very quickly, five minutes passed and the names were sent up. Right then, several tens of kilometres away from the military academy, a sudden roar of cannon fire lit up the originally pitch-black night sky...
Other than Ling Lan, everyone else in the living room immediately rushed to the window and saw that in the sky above, countless egg-shaped metal objects had appeared. This scene caused everyone's expressions to change drastically. Although they believed in Boss Lan's judgement, seeing it with their own eyes was another matter altogether. In that instant when the night sky had been torn apart by the cannon fire, what greeted their eyes was the overwhelming number of egg-shaped metal objects that blanketed the sky... so, war had truly descended.
Ling Lan calmly flipped through the two sets of data in her hands, and then slammed them together and said loudly, "Wu Jiong, Li Yingjie!"
Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie had already been stupefied by the scene in the sky, but when they suddenly heard Ling Lan call out their names loudly, they shuddered and hurriedly replied, "Here!"
"You two immediately bring the second group to the air defence location." Ling Lan handed the name list of the second group to Wu Jiong.
Wu Jiong's gaze flickered, but he did not reach out his hand, seemingly hesitant. Ling Lan continued, "You two should know where the mecha storehouse is. We will wait for you there. I don't feel at ease leaving the second group to someone else."
Hearing Ling Lan's words, Wu Jiong and Li Yingjie instantly felt a sense of loyalty. Wu Jiong nodded vehemently and reached out to take the name list, replying, "Boss Lan, Yingjie and I will definitely send them safely to the air defence location."
To one side, Li Yingjie also patted his chest to express that he would definitely complete the mission.
Alright, as the arrogant and troublemaker Li Yingjie, this was the first time he had been entrusted with such a heavy responsibility with such trust. He was moved, and his admiration for Boss Lan grew. As expected, Boss Lan was still the one who understood him the best. So the taste of being trusted was this good.
