Chapter 715: 715. A Familiar Face!

250 Mecha Clan was probably the first clan to leave the planet. Of course, Ling Lan also smuggled a special pet from the planet, Little White. According to military regulations, all soldiers, who participated in land clearing missions, were not allowed to take any lifeforms out from the planet. Even a little speck of dust was not allowed.

The reason Ling Lan was successful in smuggling Little White on board was not only because Little White’s small body, but also because, Little Four was just too good. She successfully got past the detectors at the port.

After 250 Mecha Clan entered the planetary sector of the Federation, Ling Xiao, who had been alongside Ling Lan, quietly left. Ling Lan knew that her father must quickly return to the 23rd Division. First Staff Officer He probably couldn’t endure the pressure coming from multiple parties anymore, since Ling Xiao was gone for three months.

250 Mecha Clan on the other hand, still needed to go to the Federation’s military headquarters. 250 Mecha Clan’s performance during the land clearing mission was outstanding. They managed to squeeze into the ranks of the 10 best performing clans. They would go there, as well as the nine other clans, to receive additional merits from the military.

“Other than our clan, what clans are going to the military headquarters?” Even though 250 Mecha Clan’s mecha operators were veterans and had also received similar rewards in the past, they had never received it in such a high honor. They were unable to hold back their excitement and joy in their hearts. Their daily conversations were always about this topic.

These veterans knew it was all due to Regiment Commander Ling Lan’s contribution that allowed them to enjoy such an honor. They were very grateful towards Ling Lan. However, veterans were not the same as recruits, who outwardly showed their feelings. These veterans kept their gratefulness in their hearts, but their respect for Ling Lan was not any lower than that of any recruits.

Major General Jiang Wei, Department Head of the Federation’s Military Safety Department, at the age of 40, was considered to be one of the more famous officers from the Federation.

He was currently looking through a file. The file was a list headquarters had sent him about the 10 of the top performing clans in the land clearing mission. In the first, second and third place were top clans that were known throughout the galaxy.

Jiang Wei smiled. As expected, the clans that could receive additional merits were those powerful and capable veteran clans. After flipping to the end of the file, Jiang Wei’s expression was one of astonishment. It was because the two clans that were ranked at the bottom two were clans he had never heard of.

One of the mecha clans was, of course, the 7th Division’s Courage God Ace Mecha Clan. It wasn’t considered to be one of the stronger mecha clans from the 7th Division. Jiang Wei thought hard for a moment and suddenly remembered, a few years ago he had approved the title application of the Courage God Ace Mecha Clan from the 7th Division. The title they applied for was called Courage God.

He didn’t think that only in few years, this mecha clan had grown to such heights. Jiang Wei’s expression was joyful. Didn’t a mecha clan that had an outstanding performance which he had personally approved of, confirmed his decision he made was indeed the correct one?

However, when Jiang Wei read the name of the tenth mecha clan, a stunned expression was shown on his face. 250 Mecha Clan of the 23rd Division? Perhaps others wouldn’t know about the story behind 250 Mecha Clan, but as one of the creators of 250 Mecha Clan, Jiang Wei knew exactly what 250 Mecha Clan was all about…

He couldn’t help but rub his eyes. The number 250 at the front was indeed not a mistake.

How is this possible? How could a mecha clan like that be one of the top 10 performing clans in this mission? Jiang Wei went into deep thought. Did Ling Xiao have something to do with it?

Ling Xiao and Jiang Wei were from the same generation and, of course, they are in the Federation’s military most powerful group of people. In the past, due to Ling Xiao climbing up the military ladder too quickly, he outshone Jiang Wei’s achievements, it was like comparing the Sun to a random lantern on the street. Although Jiang Wei’s performance was outstanding as well, advancing to be a major general at such a young age, it was pale in comparison to Ling Xiao’s. Being in the same generation as Ling Xiao, all of the attention was on Ling Xiao and Jiang Wei’s existence was completely forgotten. This made him very jealous and spiteful towards Ling Xiao. Back then, he was the one who suggested to send these ‘damaged goods’ of mecha operators to the 23rd division, simply to irritate Ling Xiao.

After thinking 250 Mecha Clan definitely had some sort of secret, Jiang Wei couldn’t help but laugh coldly. He wanted to see what Ling Xiao had done to those mecha operators. If he was to discover that Ling Xiao had been mistreating those mecha operators… He would definitely not let him off easy!

Jiang Wei made a decision, immediately contacted a commanding officer of clan under his command and issued a few orders.

The venue was not in the Federation’s main capital on Planet General. It was instead one of Planet General’s large satellite city, Soldier City. The reason why the top 10 clans was not allowed to enter the main capital was to ensure the safety of the capital’s countless high-ranking officers. No one could confirm that there wasn’t any assassins or spies hidden within these top 10 mechas clans.

Soldier City’s name was just as it sounded. The city was to garrison many ace mecha clans defending the main capital. Although these clans did not appear in the eyes of the public and silently protecting high-ranking officers, there was no doubt the ace operators within these clans were considered one of the strongest groups. These clans were of similar levels to the special forces of all the divisions.

These clans defending the capital would have ace operators nicknamed ‘Guardians of South Sea’. After guarding the capital for five years, these operators would be able to leave the main capital and take up a position in one of the many divisions. At that time, these ace operators would become commodities for the divisions to fight for. Every time, these individuals would make divisions fight fiercely for them, causing dents in their relationships with each other.

Other than these ‘Guardians of the South Sea’, the Soldier City also had clans from all 23 divisions. They would also protect the division representative from their own division. However, the capabilities of these clans were incomparable to the ‘Guardians of the South Sea’. The clans guarding their division’s representative would change every three years. Currently, it was right at the end of a three year period. The entire Soldier City had mecha operators coming in and out, and was very busy. The chaotic scene increased the number of disputes in the Soldier City. The battle arenas in Soldier City hadn’t closed since then.

Inside Soldier City, once any clan had any disputes or problems with another clan, they were not allowed to resolve it by fighting privately. If they wanted to resolve these disputes, they must fight in the arena. These people could choose to fight solo or in group in the arena. Once an individual or group demanded a battle in the arena, their opponents would not be able to refuse the challenge.

In order to make sure there wasn’t anyone with malicious intent, those who were challenged could invite comrades similar capabilities to their opponents to stand in for them or join the battle. Inside the arena, any injuries or deaths were considered legal and reasonable.

Almost every year, there would be soldiers who perish in the arena by mistake. Although every year there was such a gruesome scene, the battle arenas were legit and not frowned upon because it was the only place for soldiers to resolve personal vendettas. No one denied this fact.

Although the mission of protecting the capital seemed to be a waste of time and somewhat dangerous, it was still a highly-valued mission. Once these operators finish the three year guarding period, they would return to their divisions, receiving promotions and increasing the chance of becoming a high-ranking officer.

Many capable and ambitious mecha operators could not refuse such a good opportunity for a promotion. In other words, in order to advance to a higher rank, one needed to have the connections or be very capable while wasting three years of their life.

The division higher-ups must also think carefully on who to select to provide the connections for. If a dispute was to happen and a battle in the arena was set up, but those who participated were only second-rate individuals who got in through connections, wouldn’t they be brutally beaten up? It would humiliate the entire division. No high-ranking officer dared to spread their connections too freely, but every three years they would put in a few people by going through connections in Soldier City.

The clan from the 9th Division stationed in Soldier City was doing some information handover procedures. In the group of new members, two familiar faces appeared.

“Young Master 13, congratulations,” Ye Ling had a faint smile on his face and congratulated the cold-looking young man. It was indeed Ye Xu, who had split with Wu Jiong years ago.

Ye Xu snorted coldly and didn’t reply. In reality, he hated going through a backdoor through connections in order to get promoted faster. In the beginning, the achievements he had achieved were all gained by his own hand. Ye Xu couldn’t help but remember the times when he fought and grew with Boss Lan. That was when he was the happiest, not like now where he didn’t have any choice but to do things he didn’t want to do.

“The family head said that after this mission, Young Master 13 would be a mecha clan’s vice regiment commander. After another year, when you become familiar with all the procedures in a clan, you would be able to be an official regiment commander of a mecha clan.” Ye Ling told Ye Xu the Ye family’s family head’s plan. He continued with a huge smile on his face, “Maybe Young Master 13 will be the military’s youngest regiment commander.”

Hearing this, Ye Xu was in a daze. His future was indeed full of prospects, but was it what he actually wanted? He remembered Wu Jiong. The 15th Division was where the Wu family had consolidated their power. Wu Jiong probably would also be nurtured by the Wu family to a great extent.

Ye Ling seemed to have seen through Ye Xu’s thoughts. He smiled and said, “Although the Wu family has consolidated their power in the 15th Division, the Wu family still has a fatal weakness. That weakness is their branch families have power as well. The power struggle between the main family and the branch family had already become heated. If Wu Jiong wants to make himself known, he will definitely be constantly pressured by the branch families… He wouldn’t be like you, Young Master 13, who is supported by the entire Ye family.

“Wu Jiong isn’t someone who would give up easily. He will definitely climb up the ranks,” Ye Xu responded coldly. In their entire team, the person who knew the most about Wu Jiong was probably him. Back then, when he and Wu Jiong collaborated and worked hard together to grow gave Ye Xu enough time to learn about what kind of person Wu Jiong was.

“That’s only if he has a chance to,” Ye Ling half-smiled as he replied. He didn’t think highly of Wu Jiong. Although he was capable, he was still somewhat irresolute and hesitant. Someone with such a personality was fated to not go too far up the ranks.

Although Ye Ling was sent by the Ye family to aid Ye Xu, he was also there to watch over Ye Xu. Ye Ling knew more than Ye Xu. He even knew that if Ye Xu had even a single thought of leaving the Ye family, he would be mercilessly destroyed by the Ye family. There were many descendants in the Ye family. Although Ye Xu was the most talented out of all of the descendants in this generation, he wasn’t the only one with great prospects. If he didn’t listen to the Ye family, they would abandon him entirely without batting an eye.
