Chapter 1222: 1222. Many Things At One Go

A huge starship fleet moved slowly towards the Twilight battlefield.

In the middle of the fleet, many huge transport motherships could be seen. They made up two-thirds of the fleet. There were battleships and escort starships protecting them.

The labels on the starships were different but they all started with the same word. This meant that they were from the same department but of different teams. Only the serial numbers and the numbers behind the word were different.

However, three starships had different logos.

It was a black phoenix with its wings spread out. The word ‘Ling’ was printed in bold below the black phoenix. It was hard not to notice this logo.

This wasn’t the only reason why the starships stood out. The other reason was that the three starships were Destruction Devils, the most powerful battleship model in the Federation.

However, Destruction Devil hadn’t been officially launched in the market. Only a few top-level fleets managed to get one or two for testing purposes. Destruction Devil wasn’t the perfect starship but it was already miles better than other battleships. It optimised the steering ability and speed of the starship. The agility of the starship was increased too. This was a huge breakthrough in starship manufacturing

Its speed couldn’t be compared with a mecha but it was definitely more powerful than other battleships. However, the cost of making a Destruction Devil was very high. If not, all the battleships in the Federation might have been changed to Destruction Devil.

The military didn’t want to give up such advanced technology yet so they started experimenting with how they could make a Destruction Devil while lowering the cost price. Once they solved this issue, there would be a new era of starships.

Yet, even though Destruction Devils were expensive, the Lingtian Independent Army managed to procure three of them. Even with limitless money, it was impossible to procure such commodities without the help of Ling Xiao.

“Lingtian Independent Army really has a powerful background.” The three major generals were having a discussion virtually.

By right, they should have the authority to check the details of all divisions and independent armies. But, when they wanted to obtain details about Lingtian Independent Army, their mainframe told them that their authorization wasn’t high enough to access such data.

What background did the commander of Lingtian have? Was it a secret division formed by the military? Unfortunately, Lieutenant General Ling never showed his face after that video call. They weren’t able to get more information out of him.

“Ling Lan… do you think he has any relationship with General Ling Xiao?” Major General Xu looked at the frightening character “Ling” on the starship. For some reason, it reminded him of General Ling Xiao.

“Ling Xiao only has one son. Wasn’t Prince Ling heavily injured during the battle on Planet Haijiao which eventually caused him to be retired from the army?” Major General Qiu told everyone what he knew.

“He didn’t retire. He just rests at home. If he was asked to retire, the soldiers would be disappointed with the military. After all, he created a miracle. The military won’t be so stupid to degrade his accomplishments.” Major General Di immediately corrected Major General Qiu.

Major General Xu raised his eyebrows. There was excitement in his eyes. “So there’s a chance he’s Prince Ling, right? Based on his achievements on Planet Haijiao, it’s reasonable for them to give him an independent army. That way, he’ll be able to enjoy his remaining life in the military.” He paused for a moment and frowned. “That’s not right. Ling Lan said that he’s the commanding officer of this mission, and his rank is lieutenant general. That means that he has actual commanding power in the independent army.”

“Even if he was awarded with so many merits because of the battle on Planet Haijiao, even if there is a possibility he is Prince Ling, he won’t be able to be the commander of an independent army so quickly. Is there something we don’t know?” Major General Xu couldn’t find an answer. He furrowed his brows in ponderment. The military kept the battle at the Nebula Boundary a secret. No one knew what happened besides a few key personnel.

“No matter what the truth is, it will come to light one day,” Major General Di said in a low voice.

The other two major generals agreed with what he said. They pushed their frustrations away and waited patiently for the truth.

The starships from Lingtian maintained a triangular formation behind the transport fleet.

Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong were on one of the three Destruction Devils. They sat in the control room and chatted over tea.

“Our commander asked us to lead ten mecha brigades to escort the transport ships to Twilight. While doing so, he is bringing Base Nebula over to Twilight. It’s obvious that he doesn’t want us to get involved in the mess.” Liu Furong frowned. He was worried about the punishment they might receive for moving Base Nebula.

Yang Mingzhi looked up and smiled lightly. “Our commander has always done things with caution. He would never put himself in a hopeless situation.”

Liu Furong relaxed a little and he started thinking about the possible reasons for Ling Lan to be seemingly so reckless.

“You mean that we’re his trump card?” Liu Furong seemed to understand something.

“Besides us, who are the leaders of the other eight mecha brigades?” Yang Mingzhi’s smile got brighter. When he received the list of the ten mecha brigades from Ling Lan, his worry for his commander disappeared. His commander had also thought of the situations he thought of and had made the necessary arrangements to counteract every possible problem.

“Qi Long, Han Jijyun, Li Yingjie, Zhao Jun… all of them are deathly loyal to the commander. Even Yan Three is loyal to Ling Lan. Cao Mingde, Luo Lijiang, and Xuhong are the deputy leaders of Luo Lang, Xie Yi, and Li Lanfeng. They were recommended by their leaders and got promoted to brigade leaders. They are trustworthy too,” Liu Furong smiled as he replied.

“You too. Vice Commander Liu, you’re loyal to Ling Lan too.” Yang Mingzhi smiled back.

“Aren’t you? Although you belong to the First Marshal’s faction, I believe that you won’t betray the commander if there’s a dispute between him and the First Marshal,” Liu Furong said firmly.

Yang Mingzhi retracted his smile slowly. After a few seconds, he replied in a resolute tone, “If the commander doesn’t betray the nation, I will never betray him.”

Liu Furong smiled. Yang Mingzhi smiled too. The atmosphere turned lively.

Only Yang Mingzhi knew how important his words were.

“Master, based on the surveillance and feedback from all the satellites I can connect to, there’s no sight of our enemy around the transport team.” Meng Lan’s clear voice echoed in the resting room of the command center.

Ling Lan was leaning on her chair, resting with closed eyes. She opened them slowly. “Thank you for your hard work, Meng Lan.”

Meng Lan smiled gently. “It’s my honour to work for you.”
