Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr "We're not sure about the situation right now, but we can confirm that the ground forces below are already prepared... I'm afraid our sneak attack plan has been seen through." The adjutant beside him could not help but wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead as he reminded the commander-in-chief.
The commander-in-chief sucked in a few deep breaths, and only then did he manage to quell his rage. He knew that there was no point in being angry. Since the sneak attack had failed, then they could only attack by force. Coming to a decision in an instant, he ordered, "Pass down the order. Have all mecha activate in advance. Break the shell and attack!"
His order was transmitted to the egg-shaped metal. Many of the egg-shaped metal pieces that had not yet entered the range of the cannon fire suddenly broke apart, and the activated mecha quickly descended from them, plummeting towards the ground.
"Godd * mmit, these cannon fire won't be able to hurt mecha with their beam shields up." The commander-in-chief, who was using infrared binoculars, could not help but grumble in frustration as he watched this scene from the watchtower. Initially, he had wanted to use this opportunity to destroy more of the egg-shaped metal pieces so that the fewer enemy mecha that landed on the ground, the better. Now, it looked like this would not be so easy. The enemy was very alert — seeing that their sneak attack had failed, they had decided to attack by force.
Following the appearance of the mecha, the initially silent radars suddenly rang out. Countless mecha representing the enemy appeared on the radars, blotting out the sky. At this moment, everyone understood that the egg-shaped metal pieces did indeed have the ability to block radars. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief was observant enough to see through this. He told them to give up on the radars and use infrared binoculars instead. Although the search range was reduced by 7 to 8 times, at least they were not blind and had successfully found the attacking enemy...
The first wave of enemy mecha was already close to the ground. Just as they were about to rejoice in breaking through the cannon fire, they were immediately hit by a large number of beam attacks. Some of the unprepared enemy mecha instantly exploded and died. It turned out that the mecha columns waiting on the ground had seen the enemy mecha descend and had all fired their beam guns to meet these enemy mecha.
Very soon, the ground mecha troops and the enemy mecha descending from the sky began to fight. The flames of war quickly spread to the ground, and when a stray bullet from an unknown source landed in the dormitory district of the First Men's Military Academy, the dormitory district, which had already been woken up, instantly activated a regional beam shield... the people inside could not walk out, and the people outside could not enter either. Unless the upper management of the academy used their authority to shut down the mainframe, or if an external force destroyed the shield, that would basically mean that the Federation had lost this battle. The final result would mean that the students in the dormitory district had no chance of survival...
When the commander on the ground saw a dazzling light shield suddenly appear behind the troops, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. Wasn't this an obvious target? Tell all the enemies to quickly come and attack this place … It was unknown which idiot came up with this program. Although it had good intentions, in the face of such a complicated and chaotic occupation in Dark Night Li, this was definitely a foolish action.
. The commander began to worry, and could not help but roar angrily at the officer beside him, "Godd * mmit, have the warriors on the frontlines hold off the attacks. We must not let the enemy attack the dormitory district..."
That place was where the future hope of the Federation lay. It should be known that the students who could enter the First Men's Military Academy were all the top prodigies of the Federation. Each one of them was a prodigy — they could not afford to lose them.
Little Four was currently trying to contact those major satellites that had lost contact with them. Unfortunately, up until now, he had not been able to find any signals from the major satellites. This made him rather discouraged. He knew that once he left his virtual world and had his signal blocked by the enemy, he would be nothing...
Fortunately, he had perfectly completed the mission his boss had given him. He had successfully faked the image of Planet Demonbeast being attacked six years ago into tonight's attack image, using the satellites to send it to the intelligence department of the ground forces, giving the ground forces time to prepare for battle. Seeing those enemies descending from the sky being caught off guard by the ground forces, Little Four was excited and even more impressed with his boss. He even thought for a moment that his boss was a god, being able to correctly guess the identity of the incoming enemy!
In truth, Little Four had been overthinking things. Ling Lan had only hoped that the ground forces would be prepared, and the attack from World of Demonbeast six years ago had coincidentally been an air raid, which was very suitable for tonight's situation. Thus, Ling Lan had temporarily borrowed the footage. In truth, Ling Lan had no idea who the enemy tonight was. It should be said that Ling Lan had been very lucky — the image sent by Little Four just so happened to match up with reality. She had cleverly and luckily concealed her handiwork. In the final post-battle analysis, both the Federation and Caesar came to the same conclusion. They believed that the satellite shielding technology was not mature enough, allowing one of the satellites to successfully transmit the image of their sneak attack... however, the Federation was secretly rejoicing at this point, while Caesar was vexed that their shielding technology had slipped up at a critical moment.
However, as the battle progressed and the enemy responded in time, the uncertainty of the battle began to show. The flames of war quickly spread to the ground forces, and the ground forces began to suffer heavy casualties. Meanwhile, in the sky, mecha were descending endlessly from the sky. This made Little Four somewhat uneasy.
Unsure of what to do, Little Four could only go back and ask for his boss's opinion, casually reporting the current battle situation to his boss. Actually, when Ling Lan had seen the dormitory district suddenly turn bright on the way here, she had already felt that the battle situation might be disadvantageous for the Federation. Now, after hearing Little Four's report, if the satellites continued to be locked down and no reinforcements were sent here in time, just the strength of the ground forces alone would probably not be able to hold out for very long. Ling Lan was well aware of the power of mecha. Even if it was a normal low-level mecha, it would take at least a platoon of suicidal attacks to finish it off.
She needed to send out the news that this place was under attack as soon as possible. Ling Lan instantly decided to use the emergency SOS method her father had given her before he left. Ling Lan and Ling Xiao were both disciples of the Divine Command sect. As a sect that focused on mental strength, they naturally had a SOS method that did not require high-tech signals.
Before Ling Xiao had left the military academy, he had deposited a sliver of his spiritual power in Ling Lan's mind because he had been worried. If Ling Lan was in danger, as long as she detonated Ling Xiao's spiritual power, Ling Xiao's spiritual power would be affected no matter how far away they were. Although he could not know the exact details, this abnormality was enough for Ling Xiao to know that Ling Lan was in danger.
Ling Lan decisively detonated Ling Xiao's spiritual power. Her body shuddered violently and her face paled. Detonating a stored spiritual power would also cause damage to one's own spiritual power. This was also why Ling Xiao had stressed that it should only be used in moments of extreme danger... Ling Lan's abnormality was sensed by the other companions beside her. Zilong asked quietly, "Boss, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. We're not allowed to speed up. We're running out of time." Ling Lan forcefully suppressed the discomfort in her spiritual power and said calmly to her companions. Then, she sped up once more.
Seeing Ling Lan speed up as if nothing had happened, her companions could not help but sigh in relief. They relaxed and followed Ling Lan to speed up as well. Only Li Lanfeng looked at Ling Lan's still-unrecovered complexion and frowned slightly. A trace of worry flashed through his eyes...
Right then, on the assessment ship of the 23rd Division, Ling Xiao, who had been sitting in the captain's seat with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He abruptly sat up straight, and his initially warm aura suddenly turned cold. This caused the officers who had been chatting casually around him to instantly fall silent. They all stared in shock at this general who had always been so gentle.
At this time, Ling Xiao was no longer in the mood to maintain his image. This was because he had felt that his spiritual body had suddenly been tugged at. This proved that the spiritual body he had stored in Ling Lan's brain had been destroyed by someone.
"Contact the First Men's Military Academy immediately and ask about the situation there..." ordered Ling Xiao with a cold expression. Without a smile, Ling Xiao's expression was actually very similar to Ling Lan's. As expected of father and daughter.
"Contact successful. We've received feedback from the other side that everything is normal," replied the operator in charge of external communications quickly.
Ling Xiao frowned at this. Since Ling Lan had detonated his spiritual power, that meant that something big must have happened to her that she could not resolve... he immediately connected to Ling Lan's communicator, but was told that the contact was busy.
A cold light flashed through Ling Xiao's eyes. In the next second, he directly contacted the old headmaster of the First Men's Military Academy, but was still told that the contact was busy.
At this time, Ling Xiao's gaze had become extremely dark. He raised his head and ordered once more, "Send a request to the other side. Say that we will arrive at planet Newline tomorrow. Please arrange for passage."
The operator was taken aback by this, but he quickly transmitted Ling Xiao's words to the other side. Several seconds later, the other side replied. The operator immediately reported, "General, the other side replied that planet Newline is currently off-limits to travel. The opening will be 3 days later. They hope that we can cooperate and change our route, or wait for the opening time."
"As expected, something has happened." At this time, what was there that Ling Xiao was still unclear about? His request was just a test. Having just come out from planet Newline, he naturally knew that there was no such thing as a ban on travel.
"Open the launch port immediately. I'm going to take [Belief] to planet Newline." Ling Xiao stood up abruptly and hurried towards the cockpit door. His daughter's life was in danger — as a father, how could he just sit here and do nothing? He needed to hurry over as soon as possible. The speed of a god-class mecha was four times faster than that of a military ship, and at maximum speed, it could even reach seven times faster.
"General, this is too dangerous." Hearing Ling Xiao's arrangements, Adjutant Qiao panicked. He hurried over to stop him.
Ling Xiao whipped his head around to glare at Adjutant Qiao, causing Adjutant Qiao to jerk to a halt. "This is an order!" Ling Xiao tossed out these four words and then disappeared through the cockpit door...
"Domain..." The senior colonel with the highest military rank in the cockpit exclaimed, startling everyone back to their senses. Adjutant Qiao looked at the senior colonel, then at the rest of the group, and then with a stomp of his feet, he chased after Ling Xiao once more. As the general's adjutant, he had to stop the general from putting himself in danger.
