Chapter 1147 Making A Move?
The news of a mecha clan called ‘Lingtian’ from the Federation completely wiping out Knight Ace Mecha Clan had spread through the human universe like wildfire. The unknown name of ‘Lingtian’ instantly entered the database of intelligence agencies of all nations.
“Lingtian? What is their purpose?” As the Federation’s most prominent enemy, the military of Twilight Empire was quickly alerted after hearing such outstanding achievements of a mecha clan from the Federation.
“The intel our spy had sent us over the years never had this mecha clan’s title.” The officers of the military immediately flipped through all the data on all the secret mecha clans within the Federation. After looking through them many times, they still didn’t find any data on Lingtian.
“How is this possible? How could we not have any information on such a strong mecha clan?” The generals of the military were all discontent. “What is our spy doing?”
“Notify him to get his hands on all of Lingtian’s data as soon as possible. The Twilight Empire must not commit such a blunder ever again.” An unknown mecha clan suddenly appearing made the higher-ups of the Twilight Empire’s military anxious. Twilight Empire knew very well that a war between the two nations was inevitable. It was only just that they didn’t know when or where the war was going to completely erupt.
Thus, as soon as something happened that was out of their control, the Twilight Empire would consider it as meeting with their worst enemy. Just like how they were now treating Lingtian Mecha Clan.
“Roger!” A secret message was transferred between many nations. After many layers of encryption and disguise, it had reached the Federation.
In a large and gloomy apartment, a black-cloaked male was slowly reading a message on his communicator with a serious expression. When he read the last sentence of the message, his serious expression instantly froze.
“This is really troublesome!”
Unfortunately, he couldn’t avoid this troublesome task… He had to do it even if he didn’t want to do it.
The Federation’s military was still having non-stop discussion regarding Lingtian’s participation in the battle that occurred at the Nebula Boundary. Some thought that despite Lingtian achieving great feats, they were too ruthless in their ways of handling Knight Ace Mecha Clan. Lingtian’s ruthless actions had dampened the valiant and glorious image of the Federation in the public eyes. Rewards could be given, but there also needed to be punishment to adhere to military regulations.
However, many also believed that a battlefield was a dog-eat-dog world. In order to live, why did it matter that they had completely wiped out Knight Ace Mecha Clan? Not only did Lingtian not make any mistakes in the grand scheme of things, they also achieved great feats and showed the power and wrath of the Federation. They should be well awarded for their service.
There were also some fence sitters who believed that they should just leave the matter be. However, these opinions weren’t accepted by many and were completely ignored in the end.
In the end, the two opinions of the military couldn’t convince the other side. Thus, someone suggested having Lingtian’s regiment commander come to the military headquarters to personally tell them about the details of the battle and the reason why they completely wiped out Knight Ace Mecha
Clan…
Ling Lan received the summon and frowned. She watched the base in the virtual world from one end to the other, waiting for the spy to pop out so she could finally catch them in the act. However, she didn’t expect that her plans would be completely ruined after the summon.
What annoyed her more was that this summon had given a timeframe in which she needed to leave within two hours. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to arrive at the conference meeting at the military headquarters.
“All leaders and department heads, come to the conference room for a meeting within 10 minutes,” ordered Ling Lan. After the order was sent out, Lingtian started to scramble together, resulting in a giant mess. Luckily, most of the leaders and department heads were still in the camping ground. However, even so, these leaders and department heads still needed to push everything aside to their deputies to even arrive in the allotted time.
When the last leader arrived in the conference room, Ling Lan looked at the clock. She nodded when she saw everyone arrived on time and said, “The reason for me calling you here is because there is an emergency summon for me to return to the Federation and report the battle with Caesar to the military headquarters.”
“Why is it so sudden?” Qi Long asked with doubt in his voice.
Ling Lan said calmly, “The summon said that the report and the video I sent in was incomplete and had many doubtful points so they required me to provide the answers personally.”
“Is it because of us wiping out the mecha clans completely?” As a veteran mecha operator who had been in many battles, this was Yang Mingzhi’s first thought. This was the easiest reason to denounce the actions of an individual or a group.
“That’s not the main issue,” Ling Lan said as she shook her head. “I suspect that the spy organization has made its move.”
“Luring the tiger away from its lair!” Han Jijyun said with a serious expression on his face. “Once our regiment commander leaves Base Nebula, there wouldn’t be anyone here to put pressure on those mecha clans. Those people who are of different factions would definitely begin to act. Then, those who are connected to the spy organization would be able to silently take over.”
“Luckily, we already managed to find a few of them,” Xie Yi said joyfully.
“Those people aren’t the most important,” said Li Lanfeng as he shook his head. “Is it only Caesar who has a spy organization? I don’t think so…”
“I feel that this summon was probably sent out because all of the spy organizations within our nation have made a move. That’s why they successfully managed to send an emergency summon so that they could catch us with our pants down,” Li Lanfeng told everyone what he was thinking. “Thus, not only do we need to look for spies from Caesar. We also need to find spies from other nations who have infiltrated the base.”
“Saying all that doesn’t do anything. We need to think what we can do if we don’t have our regiment commander in the base.” Han Jijyun’s eyes burned brightly as he stared at Li Lanfeng.
The confidence he had almost lost due to Li Lanfeng was slowly recovering through his hard work. Now, he finally dared to directly face his opponent who had caused him immense distress.
“For the spectral users, I can take care of them. However, without our regiment commander holding the fort and making all the arrangements, it’s probably difficult for us to pluck out all of those spies.” Li Lanfeng seemed to not have understood what Han Jijyun wanted to say and just smiled while speaking what he was thinking.
“I think that it is a good opportunity to lure them out,” said Han Jijyun. “Although we don’t have our regiment commander holding down the fort, the opposition still made a mistake, and that mistake is that we have Meng Lan.”
A mainframe like Meng Lan was very capable in terms of defending the virtual world and analyzing the data within it. Although they won’t have Ling Lan to hold down the fort which would also lower Meng Lan’s power, it was still enough to go against those spies who had no knowledge of Meng Lan.
“That way, we wouldn’t have to wait for them to show up. The faster we get rid of those spies, the earlier we would be able to take over the base and move to the next stage of our plan.” After saying all this, Han Jijyun’s expression became somewhat excited.
Han Jijyun’s words made everyone’s eyes brighten up. They knew about the three stage plan Ling Lan had made for Base Nebula. While they were amazed by their regiment commander’s overall plan, they were also waiting for the final outcome to come to fruition. Currently, they were in the planning stage of the entire plan, and that was to create a worry-free base.
After hearing all of this, Ling Lan tapped her finger on the table.
Everyone turned towards her. Ling Lan tapped around seven or eight times before slamming the table and said coldly, “Now, I will give out orders!”
Everyone quickly stood up.
“Yang Mingzhi, Liu Furong and Qi Long will be responsible for the mecha teams. Li Lanfeng and Han Jijyun will be responsible for taking command of the base. Lin Zhong-qing will be responsible for cooperating with the base’s logistics.”
“Yes, Regiment commander!”
“I have already upgraded Meng Lan so she should be able to satisfy your needs. Your mission will be to completely clear out the spies within the base during my leave.” Ling Lan’s words were laced with killing intent.
“Yes, Regiment commander!”
