Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr By the time Ling Lan and the others arrived at the dormitory district, the entire battlefield had already reached its final stages. Ling Xiao, who was suspended in the air, was like a mountain to the Invaders, pressuring them to the point that they couldn't breathe. In addition, as long as anyone tried to fight to the death, Ling Xiao's light beam would mercilessly strike them, instantly killing them.
This sort of combat prowess made all the invaders lose all will to fight. The reason they had not put down their weapons and surrendered was because they still clung to that last shred of hope in their hearts, praying that the fleets in space would land on planet Newline to stop Ling Xiao and rescue them.
Of course, they were disappointed in the end, because the ground forces very quickly relayed the images from the recovered satellite to them. When they saw that their last hope was currently being surrounded and annihilated by the four major fleets rushing over and unable to fend for themselves, they no longer had that hope. They all put down their weapons and declared their surrender, becoming captives of the Huaxia Federation.
Because there was no starship, mecha below imperial level could not rely on their own propulsion to escape gravity and return to space. Thus, if they did not choose to surrender, their final outcome would be death on the battlefield. Not everyone could face death with equanimity. Thus, when the first person put down his weapon, the others followed suit, signifying that this air raid war was finally over.
The ground forces very quickly received these surrendered captives and began to clean up the battlefield as they searched for survivors. Meanwhile, in the dormitory district, after a brief moment of panic, the instructors began to lead the students to save themselves. That blast from the imperial operator had caused the cadets to suffer heavy casualties. For a moment, the entire military academy was plunged into a sorrowful and depressed atmosphere.
The battle on the ground had come to an end, but the battle in space was still in full swing. The reason the four major fleets had been able to reach planet Newline so quickly was all thanks to Ling Xiao.
When Ling Xiao had controlled Belief to rush towards planet Newline, he had also sent out a rescue order to the four major fleets. Although Ling Xiao did not know exactly what had happened on planet Newline, Ling Lan had used this method to pass on information. Ling Xiao believed that the situation on planet Newline must already be very bad. Ling Xiao had initially suspected that the terrifying Magical Beasts around planet Newline had gone berserk, so he had wanted the four fleets to bring the cadets out of planet Newline to ensure their safety.
As soon as Ling Xiao arrived in the outer space of planet Newline, he discovered countless unidentified starships, and immediately understood that this must be an invasion. Ling Xiao remembered that the four fleets were on their way, and he was also worried about his daughter's safety. Thus, he abandoned these starships and quietly flew into planet Newline right under their noses. It had to be said that god-class mecha were truly frightening. They had completely blocked out their own signals and images, leaving the other starships completely unaware. In the end, they had managed to silently infiltrate planet Newline.
In the end, facing the encirclement of the four fleets, the enemy's starship fleet was completely annihilated. Even if a few starships were lucky enough to escape the encirclement and escape the area around planet Newline, the four fleets would still pursue them madly.
It had to be said that invading planet Newline and attempting to wipe out the future hope of the Federation had already touched the reverse scale of all the upper echelons of the Federation. Whether it was the government or the military, no matter which faction it was, they had all issued a kill order. Even if the factions had their own conflicts of interest, protecting the future of the Federation was their common goal. Thus, everyone had chosen the same method — to use bloody methods to intimidate the surrounding countries with ill intentions, telling them that the Huaxia Federation was not as easy to deal with as they thought.
In the end, this invasion ended with the complete annihilation of the invaders. However, the casualties on planet Newline had also shocked the Federation government and the military. More than half of the ground forces had been sacrificed, and the various mecha teams had also been almost crippled. What saddened them even more was that out of the 100,000 cadets, a full 8000 had been sacrificed in this battle. These cadets were all excellent seedlings of the various military branches in the future, but before they could even enter the battlefield, they had already lost their wings in the military academy. This was their sin.
For such a large fleet to be able to infiltrate the Federation and reach planet Newline, there was no doubt that some department of the Federation must have encountered some problems. The price in blood made the Federation government and the military decide not to let this matter rest any longer. The president and the three great marshals of the military signed a joint order to purge the Federation of all spies and secret agents within the Federation. Even some vermin who had ignored the interests of the country for their own personal gain were purged.
This operation was known as the Bloodstain Campaign. The ruthless methods made those spies and secret agents who were lucky enough to escape capture tremble in fear, not daring to make any more moves for the time being. This allowed the Federation's subsequent revenge war to proceed extraordinarily smoothly, quickly reaping the results of the war.
Of course, there were also many questions within the military as to why Ling Xiao had appeared on planet Newline. After all, why would Ling Xiao, who was thousands of light years away and building the 23rd Division, appear on planet Newline at that time? However, Ling Xiao's appearance had been too timely, and the order he had issued at the same time to gather the four major fleets had been very accurate. This had saved the Federation from at least 5 years of losses.
This result greatly pleased the Federation president and the three great marshals; it was definitely a supreme achievement. However, they still summoned Ling Xiao back to ask for the reason. When they found out that Ling Xiao had been worried that his son would not be able to adapt in the military academy and had thus pretended to be part of the assessment team to go over, they all laughed heartily.
They laughed at Ling Xiao for doting on his son too much, but at the same time, they were also glad that Ling Xiao had rushed over to planet Newline for this reason. The president and the three great marshals knew very well that if it had not been for Ling Xiao, this invasion would definitely have been won by the enemy. At that time, they would have received news that the First Men's Military Academy had been completely wiped out. When this result appeared, they would definitely have to take the blame and resign — only then would they be able to quell the anger of the Federation populace.
Even so, the casualties of the military academy cadets still reached over 8000... Fortunately, the government's crisis management was very effective, cleverly shifting the focus of the populace to the enemy. This was especially true for the tens of thousands of captives. When they found out that many nations had participated in this air invasion, the Federation populace was instantly enraged. The anti-war voices within the Federation disappeared without a trace, and the military participation rate, which had been declining year after year, increased explosively by several times that month.
This allowed the president and military to breathe a sigh of relief. In order to appease the enraged populace, the president and the three great marshals finally came to an agreement and gave the order to launch a full-scale attack on the Doran Alliance. The Doran Alliance was the weakest nation in the enemy alliance that the Federation had found out was involved in this invasion.
Perhaps afraid that the Federation would expose their actions and affect their image as a superpower, the Dosa Empire had unexpectedly kept silent about the Huaxia Federation's attack on Doran. Meanwhile, the Huaxia Federation knew that the main culprit was the Dosa Empire, but they were afraid that if the two superpowers went to war, the entire human world would enter another world war. Thus, the Huaxia Federation once again swallowed their anger, deciding to take revenge on the accomplices of the Dosa Empire.
Just as the Huaxia Federation was about to launch an attack on Doran, a requiem for the innocent cadets who had died, 'Tranquil Night', began to circulate rapidly in the virtual world. Perhaps the lyrics were very fitting for the grief in the hearts of the cadets and their families who had sacrificed themselves, the melody was sorrowful yet strong, causing the singer to instantly become the favourite singer of the cadets...
Without the secret support of the Dosa Empire, without spies or spies leaking the Federation's military plans, the Federation's attack on Doran proceeded smoothly. One month later, the Doran Alliance was levelled, officially bringing Doran under the control of the Federation. This victory sent the Federation into a state of jubilation, and their initial grief over the invasion of the military academies was instantly alleviated by quite a bit.
Meanwhile, after one month, not only did the rage of the Federation soldiers and citizens gradually subside, the already recovered inner sanctum of the First Men's Military Academy also slowly regained its calm from its initial grief and anger. The gazes of every student that had been filled with fear, anger, and worry also gradually calmed down, and smiles returned to their faces.
"Boss, good news! Good news! "Early in the morning, Xie Yi dashed down from upstairs with a face full of excitement. He had probably just woken up and hadn't tidied himself up, so he looked very sloppy. He didn't notice that Ling Lan had frowned slightly when she saw him like this, and so he shouted excitedly at Ling Lan, who was sitting at the dining table eating.
Ling Lan was unmoved by this. She picked up the white napkin beside her, dabbed at her lips, and then casually placed it on the table. Only then did she raise her head to glare coldly at Xie Yi.
Xie Yi had been excited, but when he saw his boss's cold expression and gaze, he instantly sobered up. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to make a fuss anymore.
Xie Yi's deflated expression made Zilong, who was sitting at one side, chuckle. Han Jijun helplessly tugged at him, indicating that he should leave some face for Xie Yi. Meanwhile, Luo Lang, like Ling Lan, shot a cold glare at Xie Yi. Whatever Boss didn't like, he didn't like.
As for Lin Zhong-qing, he didn't raise his head, continuing to eat his breakfast with his head down. After all, it had nothing to do with him. This was all Xie Yi's fault. Alright, when they were all family, Ling Lan's team was not as united and friendly as they appeared to be outside. If there was a chance, they would definitely step on them again.
"What's making you so excited? Tell me, what's the good news?" Ling Lan saw that Xie Yi had finally learned to restrain himself, and so she asked calmly.
When Xie Yi heard this, he knew that his boss wasn't really angry. His excitement, which had been cut short, was reignited once more. "Boss, Li Yinfei is coming to our military academy."
"Li Yinfei?" Ling Lan frowned. Who was this person?
"What, Li Yinfei is coming? Really?" Before Ling Lan could remember who it was, Zilong beside her shouted excitedly, "Xie Yi, how did you know?"
"I just went on the military academy's forum. The moment I entered, I saw this news. Right now, everyone is excited." Xie Yi was even more excited now that he had met someone who shared the same interest.
Han Jijun and Luo Lang exchanged glances. For a moment, they couldn't remember who this Li Yinfei that Zilong and Xie Yi were so excited was.
Beside them, Lin Zhong-qing put down his chopsticks and said faintly, "Silent Night!"
"Ah, it's her!" Luo Lang instantly exclaimed. Some time ago, he had also been very fascinated by this song.
