Novel Full Chapter 1371 - Departure
Chapter 1371 Departure
Hearing Mu Chaoran trying to put him down, Qi Long just spoke in an indifferent tone, “Sure, whatever you say. In reality, you know better than anyone. If you could actually be somewhat troublesome for Boss, I would love to hear and see that.”
Qi Long’s attitude of looking down on them ignited the fury in Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu’s heart. Right as they were about to explode, they heard Han Jijyun speak to them from the other side of the room, “Senior colonels, are you not going to prepare anything? After all, there’s nothing where you’re going…”
Mu Chaoran’s eyes narrowed. “Really nothing?”
Han Jijyun shook his head side to side. “Piss poor.”
“Understood. Thank you for the reminder.” Mu Chaoran nodded towards Han Jijyun before snorting coldly towards Qi Long. Then, he stood up and left with Tang Ningyu. Of course, he didn’t forget to ask Han Jijyun the time they needed to gather for departure.
It wasn’t because they didn’t want to instantly go over to the area of departure, but because Qi Long and Han Jijyun were too careful and only agreed to bring them there when it was time for departure.
After seeing the two of their silhouettes disappear, Han Jijyun turned around towards Qi Long, who had stopped looking prideful, and asked him, “You wanted to bring them down a notch?”
“From what we heard from Luo Lang, we can know that Boss isn’t having an easy time in the Lawless Lands. Other than having strong enemies pressuring him from every angle, he also lacks strong fighters under his command. Unfortunately we can’t go since we have to make sure to guard the Lingtian Independent Army for him.” Qi Long sighed in resignation. “Those who can go are like Zhao Jun, who has a commoner background with no ties with any factions, and Luo Chao and Han Xuya who or enemies don’t put focus on.”
“Yeah. All the brigade leaders are all being watched closely by different factions and organizations. Once they leave the base, they would definitely investigate them. Although Zhao Jun would also be followed, it would be fine as long as he was sent out under the name of a 4 or 5-star mission,” replied Han Jijyun. “Luckily, Zhao Jun took many 4 and 5-star missions in the past in order to find a breakthrough for himself. They investigated him quite a lot back then, but after discovering he was indeed on assignments, they just let him go without checking him too much in the last few assignments.”
“Moreover, Zhao Jun never showed signs of being close to Boss.” Qi Long deviously. “In those people’s minds, Zhao Jun works under Li Lanfeng. They see him as someone out of the 10 brigade leaders who isn’t a confidant of Boss.”
“That’s why we treated Zhao Jun differently, right?” After hearing Qi Long’s words, Han Jijyun smiled.
Although Zhao Jun entered Lingtian because he followed Li Lanfeng, after so many years of growing up, moving forward and bonding with them, he had already elevated his own status to being their brother for life. Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng’s relationship was indeed close and separable, but his admiration and respect towards Boss wasn’t any less than the others.
“It will be hard for us to send out more people to help Boss. There’s no doubt that two strong people like Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran going there will be a good thing,” said Qi Long. “However, I can’t let them think that they’re actually that important.”
“That’s why you stomped their pride into the ground, making them think that we just think of them as a nuisance and that we did them a favour by helping them.” Han Jijyun sighed as he shook his head.
“They’re going there to be Boss’s underlings, not be his master. Plus, they said they are going there to protect Boss, pfft~ It must have been hard for them to speak so shamelessly. Isn’t it better for them to understand the reality of it all earlier?” Qi Long replied calmly.
“I thought you’re very friendly with Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran,” Han Jijyun’s intuition was on point.
“I’m not sure why, but whenever I see that guy, I just get annoyed, but I don’t see him as an enemy.” Qi Long’s Animal Instinct was oddly discriminatory against Mu Chaoran. That was why Qi Long didn’t have any good expressions on his face when speaking to Mu Chaoran.
“Oh right, is Zhao Jun ready? ” Qi Long put aside the problem with Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu and continued to discuss the matter they were speaking about before.
For this assignment, Zhao Jun brought his own brigade. He also chose a few capable and trustworthy mecha operators and combined them into an ace mecha clan of 2000 people to protect Jialan Ship. This time, in order to ensure the battle potential of the ace mecha clan, they brought with them the Federation’s newly invented second generation free transform ace mechas, while those who were now imperial operators on the other hand, brought the Federation’s standard imperial mechas with them. However, the outer appearances of these mechas were not any different than the 2nd generation free transform ace mechas. The capable mecha engineers of the Lingtian Independent Army perfectly disguised these mechas.
“He is already done. The logistics department brought along a group of experienced veterans. They’re all great at repair and maintenance, without any need of getting used to the environment. They can work the moment they get on the job,” replied Han Jijyun.
“That’s good.” Qi Long’s eyes began staring into the void. This was all that he could do right now. He could only send out as many capable individuals as he could and hope that they would be of help for Boss faraway in the Lawless Lands.
After a short while, Jialan Ship finally departed from the port two and a half hours ahead of the prearranged time.
On the surface, it was taking off to facilitate Zhao Jun in his four-star team mission. He would lead the mecha operators who worked under him towards the designated planet of the assignment.
Although using a Destruction Devil as a transport vessel was considered luxurious, it still wasn’t considered outrageous because he was one of the ten brigade leaders of Lingtian. Plus, the three commanders and the vice commander had agreed to it. At most, the military headquarters would speak out on how this Senior Colonel Zhao Jun from Lingtian was being inappropriate by showing off.
On this front, Jialan Ship ship successfully departed, but on the other front, Li Lanfeng went through many neutral nations. He changed many different starships before finally arriving at the Chaotic Lands.
His speed was much slower than Luo Lang. After all, he wasn’t like Luo Lang who had the luxury to board the 7th Bugle Call.
Although the Chaotic Lands were deemed as ungoverned on the outside, it was still realistically being completely controlled by the many large factions and organizations. If it wasn’t for the fact Ling Lan had cooperated with Xia Qingyi from the Soul Society after taking out the Frost Monarch and quickly taking control of the Frost Monarch’s faction, much of the Chaotic Lands wouldn’t be in their control. Additionally, after taking over Hades’ territory with the power of the Soul Society backing him, Xia Qingyi was able to stabilize everything they had acquired in the Chaotic Lands.
Of course, on the surface, the territory of the Frost Monarch still belonged to him and the Soul Society controlled Hades’ territory. Even the Soul Society believed from Xia Qingyi’s reports that they only controlled one territory and was only cooperating closely with the Frost Monarch.
The only person who knew about this secret was Xia Qingyi, who controlled both territories by himself. Every time the ‘Frost Monarch’ worked together with the Soul Society, Xia Qingyi would always respectfully provide the Frost Monarch some unimportant benefits during the negotiations. It was these mutually beneficial negotiations that made the Frost Monarch’s faction and Soul Society’s relationship even closer.
The Soul Society also didn’t feel any dissatisfaction from the way Xia Qingyi dealt with these matters. The two guardians, who were sent by the Soul Society to protect him, but actually to watch him, had begun working for Xia Qingyi a long time ago. When they made their reports, they would make it sound as if they’re working really hard. Additionally, the Soul Emperor of the Soul Society was quite satisfied because of the amount of benefits the Soul Society had reaped from the Chaotic Lands.
