786 - 797

Chapter 786 - Cross-grade Technique!

A young-looking youth was smiling at him. His face was like an angel but his eyes were like a devil.

"Are you human or ghost?" The middle-aged shouted fiercely. This young man was killed by him just now so how could he appear here?

"What do you think?" The young man continued smiling brightly.

The middle-aged man's eyes instinctively went to look for the young man's shadow. When the middle-aged man saw the young man's shadow on the ground, he repeatedly patted his chest as if to let out the fear in his heart. But, he still couldn't understand how this young man escaped from death, but since he was still human, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"You were lucky to escape once. Why did you follow me? You are really looking for death." The middle-aged sneered. He waved his hand and an ice arrow shot towards the young man. This young man had seen the embarrassing side of himself so he needed to kill him personally to cleanse the embarrassment he felt. Thus, the middle-aged man didn't show any mercy.

"That is the ice element?" The young man didn't retaliate. He just let the ice arrow hit his body. However, the moment the ice arrow touched his body, it broke and disappeared into the air. The young man was unharmed.

The middle-aged man was flabbergasted. He understood why this young man didn't die. He was a domain realm master too. Only domain realm masters were able to resist his attacks. But, he still didn't know how this young man disappeared without a trace after he was turned into ice. He didn't sense the young man's presence at that time too.

The young man's next action instantly cleared his queries. The young man was an ice element domain realm master too.

"That is not how you use ice!" The young man said coldly. He stomped his feet and powerful ice energy started to spread out from his feet. The ice quickly crept up to the middle-aged man's leg.

The middle-aged man was shocked. However, he still managed to jump into the air in time and evade the attack.

"Trying to dodge it? It is not that simple." The young man stretched his right hand and pointed at the middle-aged man. The ice energy on the ground suddenly shot up into the air, forming a huge mouth with sharp icicles as teeth, wanting to swallow the middle-aged man up.

"Ice world!" The middle-aged man shouted. A hail started to rain down around him. The frozen pellets were like a machine gun, it continuously shot at the icy huge mouth formed which was created by Ling Lan. The icy huge mouth also retaliated by blowing out wind in subzero temperatures

Boom! The two sides eventually reached their limit, before finally exploding in perfect unison. The huge explosion formed a deep crack in the manor.

"You are a titled domain realm formidable warrior." Ling Lan felt the power of her opponent's ice element. The techniques her opponent used were very different from hers. Although they were both ice element titled domain realm formidable warrior, the temperature of her opponent's ice element was higher than her own. Thus, her opponent's most powerful technique, which they both knew how to use, was weaker than hers.

"Same element, same rank, different amounts of power. So the domain stage is not fixed. How much you understand depends on your capabilities and how hard you work." Ling Lan was deep in thought. This was something new. The rules in the domain stage were weird. The combination of talent, comprehension, and hard work allowed for there to be a difference in power even with the same rank and technique.

'Survival of the fittest.' Ling Lan understood the true meaning behind this phrase. She knew why the Federation followed this rule, the only rule nature gave.

The middle-aged man noticed that his most powerful attack was not able to injure the young man. The young man must be a titled domain realm formidable warrior too. He might even have a deeper understanding of the ice domain. He had this thought because he felt a painful coldness deep in his bones. As an ice element domain realm master, he was not supposed to feel cold. Thus, the only explanation was that this young man was significantly more powerful than him.

As an ice element domain realm master, the middle-aged man could already feel the difference between them. If he continued fighting, he would be at more of a disadvantage. Thus, he threw another ice world technique at the young man. In the next second, he turned into ice particles and quickly escaped towards the manor.

But, the moment he moved, he was stopped. He wasn't able to move anymore.

"Why did you change into ice particles to escape when your enemy is an ice element domain realm master who is much stronger than you? I really don't know what to say." The cold voice rang beside the middle-aged man's ear. Then, his body started congregating. His arm was already caught by the young man. If one particle of his body was caught, he would be unable to escape anymore. This was the rule, and no one could change this rule.

The middle-aged man lost all hopes of escaping now. Thus, he made a huge decision. He vomited blood and then his body started greedily absorbing all the ice elements in the surroundings. The huge suction force caused Ling Lan to let him go. She moved back quickly and left the boundary of the suction force.

Ling Lan frowned. She got serious. A technique that could only be used after injuring himself must be a technique above his stage. The middle-aged man was prepared to give his all in this final attack.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man exploded into numerous ice needles. The ice needles altered their trajectory towards the direction where the shocked Ling Lan was at.

Ling Lan quickly swiped her right hand and an ice wall was erected up from the ground. The ice needles split into three groups. Two groups of ice needles flew around the ice wall while the last group of ice needles stabbed into the ice wall forcefully.

Multiple ice needles pierce through the ice wall, which completely collapsed the ice wall. Those needles were so powerful and sharp. They managed to destroy her ice wall in a blink of an eye.

The two groups of ice needles managed to go behind Ling Lan. The three groups of ice needles surrounded Ling Lan and simultaneously flew towards her.

Ling Lan decisively activated her most powerful attack, Ice Blockade. She tried to freeze the ice needles, but this time she miscalculated her strength. The ice needles broke through her Ice Blockade.

The ice needles pierced into the spot where Ling Lan was standing at. The ice needles all released a thick mist when they reached their destination which blocked one's vision. When the mist dissipated, the spot where Ling Lan was originally standing at was empty. When the ice needles noticed that they had missed their target, they flew into the air again and prepared themselves for the next round of attack.

Chapter 787 - Half!

"Condense!" Ling Lan suddenly appeared in mid-air. She clenched her fist and all the ice element in the area around her started to condensed rapidly, forming many perfectly shaped water droplets. In response to this, the ice needles turned into water droplets too. It was essentially a battle between two domain realm master with two different perspective and understanding of the ice elements.

Suddenly, red mist appeared out of mid-air, symbolizing the final fate of a titled domain realm formidable warrior.

Ling Lan looked at the red mist with cold eyes. She raised another hand and clenched it into a fist again.

"Ah!" A faint scream could be heard and all the water droplets exploded. The force from the explosion of the water droplets injured Ling Lan too. Fresh blood dripped down from the corner of her mouth.

"Just half a step more, then I can advance to the imperial level. But…" Ling Lan's understanding of her ice elemental domain was at the imperial level. What was stopping her from becoming an imperial level domain expert was her understanding of her own imperial level technique. She had only understood 50% of her imperial level technique, Condense. This was the name she had given to the technique.

An imperial level technique was given the term 'imperial level' because of the significance it had in one's domain stage battles. Every imperial level technique was the perfect blend of offense and defense, it was perfect in every situation depending on how much the user understood the technique. Unfortunately, Ling Lan only understood how to use Condense for defense as she was unable to comprehend its offensive power yet. Hence, she was stopped by this.

The ice needle technique the middle-aged man used almost reached the standard of an imperial level technique. If he just had a deeper understanding of his technique, Ling Lan would not be able to defeat his ice needles technique so easily. However, even if the ice needle technique reached the standard of an imperial level technique, it would still be incomplete as it only had its offensive power with no means to use it for defense. This was its lethal weakness.

Ling Lan didn't use Condense right from the start because she wanted to find an opportunity during the battle that could help understand her imperial level technique better. This kind of opportunity was difficult to find. Ling Lan didn't get enlightened even after she fought so many hard battles.

"Maybe the time is not right yet." Ling Lan was not frustrated. Since no results could be found now, she just pushed this thought to the back of her head. Her master had told her once before that she had progressed too quickly, resulting in a flaw in her foundation. Maybe this was why she was still unable to fully understand the imperial level technique.

'Looks like I have to experience more battles.' Ling Lan thought to herself. After some time, once 250 Ace Mecha Clan was fully prepared, she would try to request to the division headquarters to send her mecha clan onto the battlefield. There would have enough battles for her to gain more experience on the battlefield.

Suddenly, Ling Lan frowned as she detected numerous domain realm masters running in her direction. Her battle with the middle-aged man probably had alerted the domain realm masters from the military as even Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were in the cohort. Ling Lan had completed her mission and made Pei Shaoyun disappeared successfully so she didn't want to meet her roommates now.

Ling Lan snapped her fingers and her ice element energy around her dispersed a little. Then, a breeze of frosty wind blew by, completely shrouding Ling Lan from the world. When the wind finally went pass Ling Lan's original position, she was not there anymore.

A few seconds after Ling Lan left, many people appeared at the manor.

"What a strong ice element energy. There seems to be other domain energy as well. It's really messy. I can't put a finger as to what they are" Some of the domain realm masters tried to sense their surroundings.

"I felt a tinge of fire element." Mu Chaoran was sensitive to fire elements so he immediately sensed the faint fire element in the air. He frowned.

"There is lightning element too." Tang Ningyu was serious. Without a doubt, while the battle at the Azure Central Scout Academy was ongoing, a huge battle was happening here too. Tang Ningyu had the feeling that the people who fought here were those fake domain realm masters who had escaped from their headquarters. However, their new-found freedom was brutally taken away. Is there another secret organization observing them silently, waiting to profit as the third party?

"It's a pity that we can't trace them." Although they could only feel the huge mass of domain energy in the manor, no signs of domain energy could be found leading out of the manor. Looks like the other party was very careful and didn't leave any traces behind.

"Do you think that bastard died along with these people?" Mu Chaoran narrowed his eyes. He really hoped that the bastard didn't die that easily.

"The ice element here is dominating any other elements so we can conclude that bastard won his fight and got to flee before we got here. Plus, that bastard won't die so easily." Tang Ningyu didn't believe that an ice element titled domain realm formidable warrior could be killed in such a short time as only an imperial level domain expert could do such a deed. Plus, if there actually was an imperial level domain expert, the domain energy left behind in this area would be much greater than what they had detected.

Tang Ningyu felt the energy left behind by an imperial level domain expert in the past, that was why he didn't believe an imperial level domain expert was here. At that time, he had only just recently advanced to the domain stage, and unluckily while walking around, he stumbled across a tinge of energy left behind by an imperial level domain expert but it was enough to destabilize his domain. If his captain didn't save him in time, he might have been crippled for his entire life. This experience engraved the overwhelming strength of an imperial level domain expert into his mind. By his estimations, even a titled domain realm formidable warrior would be killed instantly if he were to meet an imperial level domain expert in battle.

The ice element energy in the manor was definitely suffocating but it wasn't as much of a stranglehold of an experience like the one he had in the past. The energy might just be left by an ice element titled domain realm formidable warrior.

'That's good too.' Tang Ningyu thought in his heart. If they couldn't kill this person personally, they wouldn't be able to feel appeased for the rest of their lives, becoming the devil in their hearts.

"What should we do now?" Mu Chaoran asked.

Tang Ningyu sighed. "Let's just go back and report our mission for now and the military will take care of the rest."

Mu Chaoran nodded. The two of them disappeared.

On the way back, Mu Chaoran suddenly remembered something. "This time, you lost to the person who took the same mission before you, right? Did you manage to find out who he is?"

Tang Ningyu remained silent for a moment. "Yes, I lost to him this time and I intend to fully accept my defeat. But until now, I don't know who he is. He might be among the transfer students or he might not. Honestly, I would have suspected Shaoyun if he didn't die. However, he didn't give me a chance to suspect him."

"I would rather suspect him and hurting him than him being killed by that bastard." Tang Ningyu clenched his fist. If Pei Shaoyun was still alive, their relationship might not be the same anymore after they had tricked him so much and took a lot of advantages of him. But, he still wished that Shaoyun would jump around in front of him, waving his finger at him and be angry at them for lying to him.

Tang Ningyu recalled the shy and timid young boy who always wore a smile on his face. He was heartwarming and considerate. However, he was now gone.

"Yes, even after he knew about everything and still broke ties with us, I will accept that, and I'll be comforted to know that there is still a Little Brother Shaoyun in the world being angry at us." Mu Chaoran was depressed. The image of Pei Shaoyun flashed past his mind. He could almost imagine how he would look if he was furious, the angry but helpless expression on his little brother's face when Shaoyun knew he couldn't do anything to him. In just a month's time, Pei Shaoyun let him, a lonely person, understood what brotherhood meant.

They suddenly stopped walking. They turned their heads side to side and realized that they had returned to the place where Shaoyun had died.

Chapter 788 - That's Good!

"Shaoyun, no matter where you are, have a good life…" Tang Ningyu said in a low voice.

"You must live a carefree life, remember that. I hope you have an older brother who pampers you. I hope your older brother will help you settle everything that was bothering you. I hope your older brother is not as evil as me. I hope he won't tease you, and I hope he would pamper you with all his heart." Mu Chaoran suddenly smiled. There were tears in his eyes. "Let him do the things I wasn't able to do for you. Don't be like me, a worthless person who sees no value in life. Don't live a regretful life like mine. Live happily…" He regretted not telling Shaoyun that he had already taken him as his brother. He really liked him.

Tang Ningyu looked at Mu Chaoran in surprise. He didn't expect him to develop such deep feelings towards Pei Shaoyun in just 30 days.

"I didn't expect it too. When I realized it, it was already too late." Mu Chaoran gave Tang Ningyu a forced smile. Then, he disappeared from his spot.

Tang Ningyu sighed. Pei Shaoyun was an obstacle that he and Mu Chaoran had to eventually get over. He disappeared thereafter too.

"Squeak?"

Little White looked around and was confused by what it saw. It was looking for directions in the forest. It looked up at the sky in resignation while crying.

That stupid person… he took me here and just threw me here! How irresponsible of him! How could he do this! Ahhh! I will curse you. May you not be able to get a wife! (What an evil curse.)

Little White tried to use the tall trees as indicators of which direction he took but… all the trees here look the same. It finally gave up. It hugged a tree trunk and admitted its mistakes.

'My dear master, Little White has learned from its mistakes.' Little White should not be so excited and accidentally throw you out Master, please come and bring Little White back. Don't leave me alone.'

'Sob, why isn't master here yet? Is it because my apology is not enough?'

Little White remembered how it ran away in times of danger and dare to escape from its master. It was enlightened. There was still a mistake it didn't apologize for. 'Sob, Little White learned from another from its mistakes. Little White shouldn't run away with a man whom I don't know the name of. I learned that running away is wrong. I won't dare to run away again. Master, please bring me home.'

The forest remained quiet. Little White was finally scared out of its wit. It finally made a decision and gave its promise. 'Master, if you bring Little White back, Little White promise to listen to you obediently and… and… you can do anything to me!'

The moment it finished relaying its thoughts, Ling Lan appeared in front of Little White.

Little White started crying furiously. 'God, you must be kidding. I just made a promise and master appeared. Sob, can I take back my words? I don't want my master to do anything to me! Ah!'

Little White scooped Little White up from the bottom of the tree and held it in her palms. She gave Little White a mysterious smile. "Did you say that I can do anything to you just now?"

Little White fell to the side and pretended to be dead. It was not going to admit it.

"Little Four!" Ling Lan suddenly called Little Four.

"Boss, I have recorded what Little White said. There is enough evidence. If he dares to deny what he said, I will ask Little Blossom to destroy it." Little Four smiled as it threatened Little White.

Little White immediately jumped up and hugged Ling Lan's thumb It gave Ling Lan an obedient smile and shouted, "Master, Little White was tired from finding my way in the forest and fainted just now so I didn't notice what you said. Sob, Little White loves master. Little White welcomes you to do anything to me. Please do whatever your heart desires." It then plopped itself lifelessly on Ling Lan's palm like a ragdoll. It seemed to be telling Ling Lan that she could do what she wanted. Ling Lan wanted to laugh. After spending some time with the members of Lingtian, Little White learned how to curry favor with her. She wondered what those bunch of people taught Little White.

However, Ling Lan didn't plan to let Little White off. Although Little White throwing her out resulted in many good things, she was still unhappy at the fact that her pet threw her like a pile of rubbish without her order!

She squeezed Little White forcefully and said calmly, "That's good."

Little White cried. It could already predict its future. It would spend the remainder of its life being squeezed and squashed by its master.

"Oh? Do you have anything against it?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and glared at it coldly.

Little White still had tears in its eyes. "These…" Its face turned weird due to the squeezing. "These are tears of joy."

Little Four was shocked. 'Woah, Little White, when did you become so smart? Did you get smarter whenever boss squeezes you?' Little Four started to wonder if it was a wrong decision to reject Ling Lan's abuse in the past. 'Did it hinder his evolution?'

He remembered how the members of Lingtian grew up so quickly under his Boss's harsh training. Little Four started pondering. He rubbed his hairless chin and said, "Maybe I should ask Boss to hit me next time."

Little Four, you are looking for death!

The military quickly removed all the spies from the unknown organization in the Central Scout Academy. The two fake domain realm masters staying at the Xiao family and the Su family were also invited to the school by Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu. Unfortunately, before they could be caught, the two fake domain realm masters committed suicide.

The people in the headquarters in the forest had all escaped. The ones who were left were just the low-level workers who didn't know what was happening.

In a secluded room, the military found various organs and body parts that were almost fully rotten. The workers who were left behind at the headquarters confirmed that this room was the most important laboratory as only the higher authorities had the right to enter this room so they were oblivious as to what went on in this room.

There were other gory materials in other laboratories too so the military didn't place much importance in this room. They just compiled all the body parts together and burnt them. Then, they asked the earth element domain realm masters to bury the ashes. They hoped that those people who got experimented on could rest in peace now.

Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu were tricked into coming here and almost becoming materials for the organization. It was actually a blessing in disguise as their talent finally got recognized by the military. To compensate them, the military allowed them to enter the Third Men's Military Academy without having to take the exam. Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu were elated.

This was their first step to their similar goal. Both of them wanted to get the ticket to the entrance evaluation for the Flying Dragon Special Forces.

Su Pei remembered what Mu Chaoran said to him. In order to get the ticket to the entrance evaluation, he needed to fulfill one of the two requirements, either he advanced to peak-level ace mecha master or above, which Su Pei was not able to complete this within a short time, or the other requirement was for him to obtain a pseudo domain. This was what Su Pei strived for as he was already peak stage of Qi-Jin so he had hopes of fulfilling that requirement.

Xiao Yiqiu looked at Su Pei and smiled. "Su Pei, let's work hard together. We must go to the Flying Dragon Special Forces together."

Su Pei looked back at Xiao Yiqiu and gave a warm smile in reply. "Yes! We must go together!" He was lucky to have such a friend.

Chapter 789 - Conference For The Team Leaders!

At the 250 Ace Mecha Clan's base, Zhao Jun rushed into the meeting room, which was next to the regiment commander's office, angrily.

Upon entering, there were already many people sitting orderly in the meeting room. When they saw Zhao Jun entering, some of them smiled and welcomed him.

Li Lanfeng smiled brightly and walked up to him. "Zhao Jun, we were all waiting for you. What sort of gains did you get for this mission?"

Zhao Jun looked at the smile. He should be happy to see it but he was furious now. He gritted his teeth and snorted. "Compared to you all, my gains are basically nothing."

This bunch of people was so lucky to be called by their Boss when he was on his mission. What was worse was that they managed to advance to the domain stage because of that. 'F**k, he advanced to the optimal peak of Qi-Jin at the same time as Qi Long, so shouldn't he and Qi Long be the first ones to advance into the domain stage and followed by Luo Lang and Xie Yi, right? Most importantly, what the hell did Li Lanfeng do? He was at the peak stage of Qi-Jin but he managed to advance to the domain stage after just one mission with their Boss. Damn it, I shouldn't have taken the mission. Curse my hand!'

After Ling Lan left for her mission, the 23rd division gave 250 Ace Mecha Clan an assignment. They were just tasked to guard some supplies until they reached the agreed upon drop-off point so only one team was required for this mission. Besides Li Lanfeng who was on leave, the other nine team leaders decided to draw lots for this mission. In the end, Zhao Jun was the lucky one that day (This was what Zhao Jun thought at the start. Later on, he realized that he was not lucky at all… sob). He left with his team happily and completed the mission perfectly.

When he came back excitedly to report the rewards of the mission to Lin Zhong-qing, he heard that Qi Long, Xie Yi, Luo Lang, and Li Lanfeng managed to advance to the domain stage with the help of their Boss. He exploded in anger at himself. Hence, when he knew that his Boss called for a meeting, he came over hurriedly.

The moment he entered the room, he felt pressure from just being in the presence of Qi Long, Luo Lang, Xie Yi, and Li Lanfeng. Li Lanfeng used to be weaker than him. In the past, Li Lanfeng was jealous and envious of them but now, it was his turn to be jealous and envious.

"You're back." A cold voice sounded beside him. Ling Lan walked over from the regiment commander's office.

"Boss!" Zhao Jun called her with a slight hint of grievance.

Ling Lan frowned a little. She couldn't stand it when a man shows this kind of whiny expression.

She pointed at a seat immediately. "Sit down. We will talk about you later." She must have owed these people a lot in her past life. Ling Lan felt helpless. However, she was unable to ignore them too. 'Fine, she is destined to worry for her comrades.'

Zhao Jun's eyes lit up. 'Does this mean that his Boss already had plans for him? Yes, I'm sure of it, Boss is such a fair person. Of course he would not forget about me.' Zhao Jun thought about this and calmly sat on his seat.

Ling Lan walked to her seat after calming Zhao Jun down. When she was about to arrive to her seat, Qi Long obediently pulled her chair out for her. Ling Lan glanced at him coldly before sitting down on her seat. She felt quite speechless about this whole situation. She then saw the ten team leaders standing up simultaneously like they were in some kind of mafia and felt even more speechless. She felt like a mafia boss. She coughed before saying in a cold voice, "Have a seat."

"Yes, Boss." All the ten team leaders sat down.

Ling Lan didn't know what to say. 'When did the three veterans become like this too? Were they influenced by her childhood friends too?' Ling Lan felt that there was something amiss about her situation. She remembered her father, General Ling Xiao who had great sway in the military and political scene with a God-Realm formidable warrior, Mu Shui-qing, backing him. This was the dream situation for an ultimate boss-like figure.

'Fine, I must stop myself from becoming like that. I must prevent them from using this address. It might cause a really big misunderstanding in the future.' Ling Lan looked at everyone sharply. Even those people who had just advance to the domain stage were unable to withstand her gaze.

"You must follow the rules of the military and address me accordingly. If not, you will be punished," Ling Lan said indifferently.

The ten leader got a shock but they hurriedly replied, "Understood, regiment commander."

Yang Mingzhi, Liu Furong, and Gu Dongyang gave a look of satisfaction. Ling Lan's actions won their approval. Although they followed the crowd and called Ling Lan, Boss, their intentions were to test her. From the looks of it, Ling Lan was a good soldier. She had no intention of building her own faction.

Qi Long noticed that Ling Lan was not angry so he smiled and interrupted her. "We will call you that in private. That is okay, right?"

Ling Lan glanced at him. "Remember that you are still in your uniform but once you take off your military uniform, you can call me whatever you want." It was just too striking when they call her Boss in the military. Ling Lan didn't really like to attract more attention to herself.

Qi Long immediately lowered his head. He said dejectedly, "Yes, regiment commander!"

'Sob, but it feels better to call him Boss.' When he called his Boss, regiment commander, Qi Long felt it was creating distance between them. He didn't like it. Fortunately, his Boss was doing this out of irritation. He just didn't want to break the rules of the military. Qi Long was slightly comforted by his thoughts. Ever since their Boss allowed them to advance to the domain stage, Qi Long told himself that he would follow his Boss for life.

He had the same thought in the past too but his decision was even firmer now. Even if his father beat him to death with a baseball bat and cut ties with him, he would still follow his Boss.

The three veterans nodded their heads when they heard what Ling Lan said. Their regiment commander knew how to differentiate private and official matters. He was a very professional soldier. While Ling Lan was testing them for the entire year, they were also testing her. They respected Ling Lan for her decisiveness and ruthlessness. However, they were worried that she was heartless to her own soldiers and that she would place her own benefits in front of the country's benefits. Within this one year of monitoring her actions, they concluded that Ling Lan was vicious but she knew when to make the right decision. Her character was good too. She finally won over the hearts of the three veterans.

Actually, Ling Lan just wanted to keep a low profile. She didn't know that her actions gained the approval of the three veterans, making them decide to follow her wholeheartedly from now on.

"It has been a year since I took over the role as the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. I want to know what is the situation with all the teams after a year of training." Ling Lan looked at everyone.

Everyone turned to look at Yang Mingzhi. Ling Lan didn't give ranks to the 10 teams but everyone recognized Senior Colonel Yang Mingzhi as the number one team of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Hence, Yang Mingzhi should be the one answering Ling Lan first.

Chapter 790 - Preparation For War!

Yang Mingzhi coughed and opened his mouth. "Team 01. Number of qualified ace mecha masters, 22. Everyone is in good condition. They can go for war anytime." As a veteran, Yang Mingzhi knew why Ling Lan called for this meeting. After reorganizing the mecha clan for one year, it was time for the mecha operators to go on the battlefield. That was the only way they could know how if these mecha operators were back to their old form.

Ling Lan's gaze landed on Liu Furong. Liu Furong said in a loud voice, "Team 02. Number of qualified ace mecha masters, 21. We can go for war anytime too."

After the other eight team leaders reported the situation of their teams in order, Ling Lan tapped on the table lightly in a fluid rhythm while in deep thought. The ten team leaders didn't dare to say anything. They waited silently for their regiment commander to make a final decision.

Finally, Ling Lan made her decision. She stood up and placed her hand on the table. She tilted her head downwards and looked at the ten team leaders. "Order!"

All the ten team leaders stood up immediately to receive their orders.

"We will officially start preparing for war!"

"Yes, regiment commander!" The ten team members received the order and quickly returned to the teams. They passed this order to their team members.

Soon, the entire 250 Ace Mecha Clan started working towards a shared objective. As the head of the Logistics Department, Lin Zhong-qing and his four deputies started worrying about their lack of manpower again. They looked at everyone who was furiously working. Lin Zhong-qing clenched his fist tightly. 'The next time I meet Boss, I must ask him for more people! Damn it!'

The heavy workload finally caused the calm and patient Lin Zhong-qing to explode in anger.

At the headquarters of the 23rd division, He Xuyang had a cup of hot tea in his hand as he sat in his office. He smiled and lazily looked at the list of rewards they got due to their performance on Planet Azure. He was the one in charge of this mission so he knew how much benefits General Ling Xiao asked from the military. The continuous good performance of the 23rd division caused the military to change their attitude towards them. They no longer ordered them around like a boss ordering around his teenage part-time worker. Whenever the military came to talk to him, they would speak nicely to him now.

Young Master Lan played an important role in helping the 23rd division to gain its current status. The military was definitely paying more attention to him now as the two greatest achievements were achieved by Young Master Lan. 'As expected of General Ling Xiao's son. General Ling Xiao is a bug in the system and his son is a bug in the system too.'

He Xuyang remembered a few weeks ago when the entire Federation was elated over a 25 years soldier who managed to advance to the domain stage. They didn't know that their Young Master Lan had reached the standard of a titled domain realm master. He Xuyang calculated with his fingers. Young Master Lan must have achieved the domain stage when he was just 20 years old. He was much stronger and better than those talents in the Flying Dragon Special Forces.

As General Ling Xiao's adviser and confidant, he knew some secrets of the Federation, which the Federation didn't even know of.

He Xuyang was in a good mood. Suddenly, a young deputy second lieutenant who was in charge of collecting information knocked on his door carefully. He came to report his work.

"Chief of staff, the list for the first season of application for entering the battlefield is out." The deputy greeted He Xuyang before reporting his work.

He Xuyang always wore a smile on his face and had a warm attitude. He seemed easy to talk to but everyone knew that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. The person in this position before him made a minor mistake and got sent to the grass-roots units. This young second lieutenant had just came for his first day of work so he didn't know what his superior was like but the rumors he heard were enough to strike fear in his heart.

He Xuyang was in a good mood so even if this second lieutenant appeared too timid for his likings, he still didn't get angry. He just nodded and said, "Continue."

"Yes, chief of staff. There are 27 mecha clans who applied to go on the battlefield. The detailed list is as such: Wuying Ace Mecha Clan from East First Corps, Qingyang Ace Mecha Clan from East Second Corps, White Wolf Ace Mecha Clan from East Second Corps…"

He Xuyang listened attentively to what the second lieutenant said. He raised his teacup slowly and took a sip of the hot tea. It was relaxing to have some hot tea in such a beautiful afternoon.

"… 250 Ace Mecha Clan from Middle Second Corps…"

"Pfft~" He Xuyang spat his tea out. He put down the teacup abruptly and he didn't even bother to wipe the mess on the table. He asked hurriedly, "What did you say just now?"

The second lieutenant was stunned by his superior's reaction, he was shocked. "What.. did I say just now?" 'Sob, did I make a mistake just now? What should I do? The chief of staff is scaring me.'

"Fine, let me look at the documents myself." He Xuyang saw his subordinate's fearful expression and felt a little helpless. He asked the second lieutenant to pass the documents to him. 'This second lieutenant just graduated from the military academy so I shouldn't frighten him too much. As expected, my Young Master Lan is unique'.

The second lieutenant quickly passed the documents over. When he saw He Xuyang waving his hand, asking him to leave, he immediately rushed out of the office like a rabbit that got scared. He went back to his office table and heaved a sigh of relief.

The colleague beside him saw his expression and asked curiously, "Jiang Li, what happened?"

Jiang Li's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He said in a frightened tone, "Chief of staff is so scary!" 'Sob, is he able to report his work to the chief of staff properly next time?'

"Really?" The new workers gasped. The senior workers were much calmer. 'If their chief of staff was easy to deal with, would they have to hire new people all the time?' Those workers that left had all reached their limit of tolerating chief of staff. They couldn't handle it anymore so they sent in an application to request to be transferred out of the headquarters and be sent to the grass-roots units.

However, their chief of staff still treated those capable people very well. Those officers that went to the grass-roots units became an adviser of a mecha clan or sat in a position that had real power. All in all, there were some regrets but most left happily. It was a fresh start for them.

He Xuyang flipped through the documents. His new deputy was timid but he did his job well. The list was segregated into sections and every information could be seen clearly. He Xuyang quickly found the Middle Second Corps and saw the 250 Ace Mecha Clan written under it.

"What is he doing!"

Chapter 791 - Regret!

"Does Young Master Lan think that the battlefield is a place for him to mess around?" He Xuyang was agitated. Once Young Master Lan goes on the battlefield, he would only be able to come back three years later and three years is enough time for innumerable of life-or-death situations to occur. No one knew what could happen within this period of time. Also, on the battlefield, even with his domain stage physical skills, it would never compare to the power of mechas.

He Xuyang couldn't sit still anymore. He took the documents and rushed into the general's office.

Ling Xiao was looking through various documents when he heard someone requesting to come into his office. "Come in!"

The door opened automatically. When he heard the hurried footsteps, he knew that it was his chief of staff from the rhythm of his footsteps, Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows in doubt. 'He Xuyang is always calm and composed. Why is he in such a hurry today?'

"General!" He Xuyang shouted as he walked into the office.

"What is the matter?" Ling Xiao smiled like always. His expression didn't change because of He Xuyang's serious look.

"Here is a certain mecha clan's application for them to enter the battlefield." He Xuyang passed the document in his hand over.

Ling Xiao took the document but he didn't look at it. He placed it at the side and then put down his pen. He leaned back in his chair and held his hands together above his chest. He smiled at He Xuyang.

He Xuyang was surprised. His general didn't look at the document.

After remaining silent for a moment, Ling Xiao asked in a low voice, "Did Ling Lan apply to go on the battlefield?"

After preparing for so long, it was the right time for Ling Lan to act. Ling Xiao understood his daughter very well. In order to ensure that her comrades would grow up quickly, she would apply to go on the battlefield in the last year of the promise with her mother. The innumerable life-or-death situations on the battlefield would help her comrades to learn quickly and mature faster. Ling Lan was a smart person. She would not give up this chance.

He Xuyang calmed down when he heard Ling Xiao's words. Because of his worries about Ling Lan's safety, he was unable to keep his composure. However, as Ling Xiao's confidant, his capabilities and mindset were almost perfect, so when he realized that his general had everything under control, he regained his composure.

"General, you knew that Young Master Lan wants to go on the battlefield." This was not a question. It was a statement. Ling Xiao didn't look at the document because he knew about Ling Lan's decision long ago.

"I have been preparing for this moment." When Ling Lan asked for two more years from Lan Luofeng, Ling Xiao already knew that she wanted to go on the battlefield.

"But the battlefield is a very dangerous place. Shouldn't we let Young Master Lan just do some exploring missions first? If not, we can even send him to clear intergalactic pirates and let him gain some experience that way." He Xuyang suggested what he thought were better alternatives.

"No need. They did well during the previous land clearing mission. They have already gotten enough experience." Ling Xiao rejected He Xuyang's suggestion directly.

He Xuyang looked at Ling Xiao's indifferent expression and finally understood why he gave the land clearing mission to 250 Ace Mecha Clan that early. He wanted to acclimatize Young Master Lan to war-like situations. That meant that Ling Xiao had made preparations long ago. Even if Young Master Lan didn't send in his application, Ling Xiao might have given him the orders to go on the battlefield anyways.

He Xuyang didn't know whether he should criticize his general for being too harsh on his own flesh and blood or should he admire his love for the nation. He wanted his son, Ling Lan, to grow up quickly and become a capable soldier of the Federation. General Ling Xiao constantly threw obstacles at Ling Lan in order to help him grow faster.

He Xuyang didn't know that Ling Xiao didn't want his daughter to go to the battlefield at all. Because of the blunder he made in the past, his beloved daughter had to live as a man for so many years. If he could, he would use all kinds of means to let his daughter leave the military. Unfortunately, his daughter valued her friends very much. To ensure that her friends were able to survive when she leaves, she rejected Lan Luofeng's suggestion and requested to continue protecting them for two more years. He and Lan Luofeng felt guilty towards their daughter so they had no choice but to agree to her.

Of course, Ling Xiao couldn't deny that deep down, he was very proud of his daughter. His daughter didn't lose to any man, whether it was her physical skills or her mecha piloting skills. Even in the Flying Dragon Special Forces, no one was on par with his daughter. Ling Xiao was in a dilemma. On one hand, he couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer. On the other hand, he wanted to create the best conditions for his daughter to succeed in whatever she wanted.

Ling Xiao closed his eyes. He buried his reluctance and worry in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, he was now the General of the 23rd division, not Ling Lan's handsome father.

Ling Xiao calmly took the document and opened it. He read through it slowly and calmly. He saw that 250 Ace Mecha Clan was indeed on the list. He grabbed a pen with his right hand and firmly signed his signature on the bottom of the document. He used so much force that the pen stabbed through the document.

"Arrange a time for all the approved mecha clans to gather three days later. They will head to the battlefield then." Ling Xiao threw the document at He Xuyang and gave his order.

"Yes, general!" He Xuyang quickly took over the document.

Then, Ling Xiao placed his head down and continued looking at other documents. He Xuyang opened his mouth, wanting to say something. In the end, he just sighed and left the general's office. He knew his general well. He was not someone who changed his decisions easily. Young Master Lan would be going on the battlefield, nothing could change this.

When the door closed, the pen in Ling Xiao's hand turned into dust. He was expressionless as he just stared at the document in front of him blankly. He couldn't understand what was written on it.

'In the end, I still lost control of my emotions!' If he hadn't used his domain to maintain the shape of the pen, it would have turned into dust when he was signing the document. Ling Xiao stared blankly at his office ceiling and gave a bitter smile. He was not a good soldier. He was just Ling Lan's father. He was not a good general for the 23rd division.

The moment he signed his name, he started regretting it.

'Lan'er! You must come back safely!' Ling Xiao's feelings were complicated. In the end, these were the only words he could say.

"Boss, the order is here. Our application had been approved." Little Four had been observing the headquarters intently so he received the new information the moment the data had refreshed.

Ling Lan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She knew that her father would agree to her request but there was still her mother lingering around. Her mother had Second Lieutenant He around her and their relationship was very good.

That's right, her father always got caught by her mother because he always had a mole beside him!

Chapter 792 - Planet Haijiao!

Haijiao was the name Huaxia Federation had given to this planet. However, the Hailiya Alliance called this planet, Planet Luoliou.

Hailiya Alliance always thought that Planet Haijiao belonged to them. However, the Huaxia Federation would never allow them to think that way. That year, explorers from the Federation landed on Planet Haijiao a step faster than the explorers from Hailiya Alliance. They stuck the Federation's flag on the planet first. Even though their army arrived a few days later than the army from Hailiya Alliance due to the Federation being much further away from Planet Haijiao, Huaxia Federation did not give up on Planet Haijiao easily.

A huge war occurred on Planet Haijiao that year. Huaxia Federation won the hard-fought war as they had a more powerful army, gaining full control over Planet Haijiao. Planet Haijiao was situated at the border of the Hailiya Alliance. Due to this, the Hailiya Alliance was constantly alert about the strong army the Huaxia Federation stationed on Planet Haijiao.

To make sure they could feel at ease in their own territory, the Hailiya Alliance's military would constantly launch attacks on Planet Haijiao, vowing to one day take control of this planet. However, with the strong army of the Huaxia Federation, they never lost even a single inch of their land ever since their nation was formed. They wouldn't retreat just because of fear. Hence, Planet Haijiao turned from a three-star planet with a good environment into a planet that had constant battles every day. Soldiers made up most of the population of Planet Haijiao. The soldiers from the Huaxia Federation took the east side of the planet while those from Hailiya took the west side.

Hailiya was able to fight toe-to-toe with Huaxia Federation for so long because they had a logistical advantage, as their country was closer to Planet Haijiao so it was much easier for them to send in reinforcements. As for Huaxia Federation, they had to cross an entire galaxy to reach Planet Haijiao, making it troublesome for them to even transport something small. However, the soldiers of the Huaxia Federation were valiant in their efforts. Even though they had less manpower, they were able to secure half of Planet Haijiao.

Planet Haijiao belonged to the Federation. Over the course of the years since this planet was found, many small base cities had been built here. Besides soldiers who were stationed here, commoners lived in these cities too. They came here because the pay was much better than where they were originally from. As time goes by, these small cities became just like the bustling cities within the Federation's borders. The only difference was, mechas and powerful weapons could be seen everywhere. If you were walking on the streets, you would be able to see a team of fully-armed soldiers walking around. The alarms for evacuation would occasionally ring, reminding the people that this was a warzone, not a peaceful and safe city.

These base cities were governed by the military. It was to support the soldiers that were stationed here. The distance between the Huaxia Federation and Planet Haijiao was too great. The transportation of supply was slow to sustain them so these cities had to be self-sufficient to support the soldiers here.

Of course, in the cities closest to the frontline, they were just bases for the military and there were not commoners there.

The bases situated near the frontline of the battlefield were named with numbers. They didn't have an official name. The base that we would be talking about was Base 013. A bunch of experienced soldiers who just finished a battle were returning to their base. The malicious aura around them was still apparent. They controlled their mechas and followed the orders given by the JMCs to port their mechas. After porting their mechas, they jumped out of their mechas and changed into their military attire. Then, they went to their canteen to have their meal. This was a unique culture of Planet Haijiao. Whether they were hungry or not, they would go to the canteen to have a meal, proving that they came back alive.

The canteen was packed with people. All the mecha operators that came back from the battlefield were eating here. Suddenly, someone shouted, "I heard that a new mecha clan is coming to our base."

The noisy canteen turned quiet instantly. Everyone stopped moving their chopsticks and turned to look at the person who spoke. The moment they saw the person, they looked like they had understood something.

The person they were looking at was called Qiu Ming. His nickname was 'Help'. He was a logistician at the base with a rank of senior captain. Because of his position, he was only able to operate an intermediate mecha. The origin of his nickname was from a mission he took. While he was sending some resources over from the main base, he was ambushed by the soldiers from Hailiya who received intel of their route. He got so frightened, he started to shout for help. In addition to that, his birth name was Qiu Ming. It sounded similar to 'jiu ming' (which means help in Chinese). Hence, he got this nickname.

The experienced soldiers had to admit that they looked down on this timid person. Qiu Ming was furious when he heard his nickname but he didn't dare to stand up for himself. It couldn't be helped as even a ground scout had a higher status than a logistician like him. Qiu Ming's rank was just slightly higher than the normal soldiers so he didn't dare to offend these experienced soldiers. There were mecha masters teasing him too so all the more he didn't dare to say anything about his nickname.

Although the veterans looked down on Qiu Ming, they acknowledged that his intel was always accurate and fast. Well, he had a relative working as a deputy of the commanding officer of the base. Hence, the news he got was always faster and more accurate than everyone else.

"Help, please tell us what's happening. It has been a while since a new mecha clan came to Base 013." One of the mecha operators bit on a toothpick and replied with interest.

Qiu Ming's face turned black when he heard this nickname. However, the person talking to him was a special-class mecha operator so he didn't dare to talk back to him. Hence, he smiled and replied, "Senior Captain You, I just heard some news so I wanted to share with everyone."

"Help, stop keeping us in suspense. Hurry up and tell us."

"Yes, stop teasing us. If not, when you shout for help again next time, we will not save you."

"Haha…" Everyone started laughing loudly.

Qiu Ming's face turned green. In the end, he controlled his emotions and told them the news he received, "It's like this. We received the news that the mecha clan that was supposed to come here was changed from the 6th division, right? The mecha clan coming here this time is actually from the 23rd division."

"Haha, that's good. The 23rd division belonged to General Ling Xiao so they must be good," a veteran shouted.

"Don't be too positive yet. General Ling Xiao's 23rd division has only been around for six years. It might not have a strong foundation like the 6th division. We don't know how powerful a six years old division is. I just hope that it is not a bunch of useless people." Another mecha operator was not so positive.

"It's still better than being ignored by the 6th division."

Ever since the ace mecha clan that was stationed in their base left, no new ace mecha clan came to take over its place. All the other base cities had ace mecha clans stationed there while their base only had a few ace mecha masters. Luckily, the two bases beside them helped them a lot. They were able to survive this year because of the help they had received from them.

Chapter 793 - Evil Wind Mecha Team!

However, because there weren't enough ace mecha clans to go around, in order to protect their base, many of their brothers-in-arms lost their lives unnecessarily… All of this happened because the commanding officer of their base had offended a higher-up of the 6th Division, causing them to not have an ace mecha clans stationed at their base.

Although everyone wanted to blame them for their brothers-in-arms lives, it was still the battle between the higher-ups where they couldn't do anything about. They could only watch and suffer as they see their comrades continue to lose their lives. This was why they were so happy when they knew that their base was going to be taken under the wing of the 23rd Division.

"I heard it's not a standard clan, but an ace mecha clan!" Qiu Ming saw that everyone's moods were low and immediately gave them the good news.

"What? An ace mecha clan!" Everyone jumped up in excitement with expression of joy on their faces. 'Doesn't that mean that their base is finally going to have an ace mecha clan?' That was definitely good news.

"Haha, I knew General Ling Xiao wouldn't to us dirty like the 6th division." One mecha operator smacked his table excitedly.

"An ace mecha clan will finally come!" All the veterans began to celebrate.

"What's the name of the ace mecha clan?" Some people asked.

Hearing this, Qiu Ming's expression changed oddly. He hesitated for a moment and said, "250 Ace Mecha Clan."

"250?" The initially excited veterans became gloomy once again.

"Sh*t, after waiting for a year, they actually sent a normal clan!" One veteran began to swear and throw insults. Although they were just normal soldiers and didn't belong to the Federation's 23 divisions, they still knew about the meaning behind the names of clans within the divisions.

Ace mecha clans were either titled ace mecha clans and normal ace mecha clans.

Titled ace mecha clans had mecha operators who were veteran ace mecha operators chock full of battle experience. It was possible that half of those mecha operators have already reached the half-way point to becoming an elite. There were probably also a few who reached the peak. In battlefield where only ace mecha operators existed, peak ace mecha operators were the best of the best. If Base 013 had these mecha operators, would they still be scared?

On the other hand, standard ace mecha clans wouldn't have any titled. The ace mecha clans that only had numbers in their names were formed from the gathering of ace mecha operators, many of which just had advanced. There were even cases where some of these ace mecha clans had only half of its members being ace mecha operators. The other half would be filled by special-class operators, which capabilities were incomparable to those of ace mecha operators.

For example, if a standard ace mecha clan had 1500 mecha operators, a titled ace mecha clan would only need 500 people to decimate the 1500 mecha operators if a standard ace mecha clan was to battle with a titled ace mecha clan. This was the difference between the two.

"Does our Base 013 get looked down on that much? It's still the same even though we switched to being under the 23rd Division?" Some sighed softly.

"Who knows. Maybe our base's commanding officer has been unlucky recently." No one knew who said it, but everyone agreed with the statement.

At that moment, the commanding officer of the base, Senior Colonel Dong Yuanzhong, was suffering a headache. Not only did he know that the ace mecha clan that was sent there was just a standard one, he also knew this standard clan greatly lacked personnel. The total was around 600 people which was not even comparable to mecha clan that had a full 5000 members. Also, there were only 200 or so mecha operators within the clan. It wasn't big enough to be considered a clan. It also wasn't even big enough to be considered a battalion and was more like a team instead.

However, since they were a clan, he must give them a place to stay. It was just that there was only one location that could be used. It was where the ace mecha clan from before had stayed a year ago. It wasn't because Dong Yuanzhong didn't want to give it to them, but it was because the location was right beside the Evil Wind Mecha Team.

Evil Wind Mecha Team was mecha team that grew within the base. These mecha operators had all stood on this battlefield and slowly evolved from a low-level mecha operator to an ace mecha operator. They all grew up in an ocean of blood. Some of them might not have the finger dexterity of an ace mecha operator, disallowing them from being one, but their attack power was much greater when compared to ace mecha operators that had just advanced.

Perhaps they couldn't perform the high-level techniques written in textbooks, but they operated their mechas with one belief and that was to kill! It was all simple and with the most basic techniques. However, even though each move was simple, they were all sure-kill techniques.

Their average talent force them to fight for their lives for each breakthrough. Their bloody advancement method and savage attack techniques made them look down on those who learned from the academy. In their eyes, academy mecha operators were all softies who couldn't walk the walk but could just talk the talk. Even titled ace mecha operators didn't wow them too much. That was because in a real battle, no one knows who would die and who would live.

The mecha operators in the Evil Wind Mecha Team were this type of existence. Even the ace mecha clan's regiment commander that used to stay in Base 013 tolerated the numerous provocations made by the team leader of the Evil Wind Mecha Team. It was because he wasn't sure if he could defeat them.

The title Evil Wind wasn't its official title. It was instead given by the Evil Wind Mecha Team's team leader. With the title of evil wind, it meant that they were all mecha operators who developed on the battlefield and were all demons.

After 250 Ace Mecha Clan move into their new camp, Evil Wind Mecha Team would definitely provoke them just like they had with the previous ace mecha clan. Dong Yuanzhong was hesitant, but thought that if he didn't arrange a place for them, it would be his fault. If word of this were to get out, he might be in a lot of trouble…

After thinking about it, Dong Yuanzhong made a decision. He told the logistics division to arrange for 250 Ace Mecha Clan stay at area 38 which had been empty for more than a year.

'They're here! They're here! The ace mecha clan is here!" The staff member responsible for the surveillance of Base 013 suddenly shouted. He saw a large group of people appearing on the surveillance monitor.

His colleague looked over his shoulder and saw around 400 mechas guarding the group from the air. These mechas included advanced mechas along with around 300 transport trucks. He was really confusion, "Isn't that a transport team?" He didn't see even one ace mecha.

"Do you not see those trucks?" The staff member who shouted in the beginning couldn't help but roll his eyes at his colleague. If it wasn't because he had seen a lot of those trucks before, he would not have noticed either.

Right then, the cloth that covered one of the trucks had a corner lifted up by the wind and showed a part of an ace mecha.

"Sh*t, it's actually ace mechas!" He remembered that the first ace mecha clan that came had all ace mechas. Only logistics personnel sat in hovers trucks and came with the transport trucks. How can this ace mecha clan be so odd that their ace mecha operators didn't pilot the mechas while those who piloted mechas were only a few advanced mecha operators?

"But, the number of them is quite small, right?" Another staff member counted and only saw around 200 ace mechas. "Are the ace operators piloting ace mechas behind them? And these mechas on the transport trucks were shipped here because their mecha operators were not here because they were busy?"

"Who cares, we still need to report this to the base's JMC. We have to tell them to prepare to take in the convoy as soon as possible." The staff member that saw the large group contacted the base's JMC as soon as he finished speaking…

Chapter 794 - Punishment!

All these staff members were wondering if they had missed something. In the convoy, other than transport trucks with mechas inside, it wasn't anything similar with the way the past ace mecha clan had come to their base. There weren't countless hover buses that had soldiers in them. Other than transport trucks, there weren't any other hover vehicles.

No, there was actually a hover car that was the military's newest model hover car which was shaped like a bullet following the convoy.

The convoy stopped at the front of the base. The person-in-charge of the convoy had already sent their request to the base and was waiting for the base's permission for them to enter the base.

Soon after the request was sent in, many multi-terrain vehicles came out from the base, filled with fully equipped soldiers that were either standing or sitting on top of the vehicles with serious expressions on their faces. Although the convoy had received permission to enter the base, they still needed to undergo a safety inspection.

In the front of the multi-terrain vehicles, a junior rank officer was standing there with a microphone by his mouth. He shouted, "The person-in-charge of this convoy, please come over here!"

When he shouted that, almost all of the advanced mechas in the air that was following the convoy turned around to look behind the convoy.

The bullet-shaped hover car slowly drove past the transport trucks, coming to the front of the convoy, and parking parallel to the junior rank officer.

The window of the driver rolled down automatically, showing a face that was full embarrassment, "What, what's the matter?"

"Where's the information?" The junior rank officer frowned. 'What kind of ace mecha clan is this? The person-in-charge of this convoy is small and timid.'

The driver quickly took out a computer chip and gave it to the junior rank officer. The junior rank officer used the optical supercomputer in his hand to scan it, receiving the information of the convoy, it showed that it was indeed 250 Ace Mecha Clan's transport convoy.

The junior rank officer was disappointed that the higher-ups sent this ace mecha clan to them. 'This clan is probably just a standard ace mecha clan, randomly created from just a molty bunch of ace and special-class operators. It is no wonder that its name is only a number. How can a random clan be given any titles?' He was clueless as to why the ace mecha clans that were stationed in their base was becoming worse every time.

After losing interest instantly, the junior rak officer waved his hand to his subordinates to examine the convoy. Then, he handed the computer chip back to the driver.

The person-in-charge of the convoy, the driver, took back the computer chip without the usual attitude of arrogant ace mecha clans. This type of warm and respectful attitude made the junior rank officer feel better about this clan, but he was still disappointed. 'As expected, it is lowly and random ace mecha clan that didn't even have the demeanor of an ace mecha clan. It seems our base will be continuing to rely on the two bases our us to help us again in the future.'

Half of the soldiers inspected the cargo while the other half collected everyone else's information. After they compiled all the information together, a representative immediately ran back and reported to the junior rank officer the results of their inspection.

'As expected, it is that kind of ace mecha clan. In the cargo, other than the 200 ace mechas, there were also a few dozen special-class mechas.' The junior rank officer was wondering why this 250 Ace Mecha Clan only had their mechas here. 'Where is their mecha operators.' He thought

"Where the rest of your ace mechas? Are they currently used by your mecha operators?" the junior rank officer couldn't help but ask.

"Huh?" The driver of the bullet shaped hover car had a confused expression on his face in response to that question.

"Does your mecha clan only have this many mechas?" The junior rank officer saw the driver's expression, and wasn't pleased. 'Is this guy pretending to be an idiot?'

"Yes, our mecha clan only have these mechas currently!" The driver finally understood the question and answered sincerely.

The junior rank officer immediately raised his head and looked toward the driver, discovering that the driver had serious expression on his face and was not joking with him. He suddenly felt his chest cramping up and some blood almost gushed out from his throat. It turns out this mecha clan couldn't even be considered as a standard ace mecha clan.

"Then, where are your mecha operators?" If there weren't any mechas being piloted, then shouldn't their mecha operator be here?

Hearing this, the driver put his head back into the car and took out a navigator from the glove box. He placed it in front of him and fiddle it with a serious expression, seemingly was searching for something.

"What are you looking for?" the junior rank officer asked confusedly.

The driver looked at the junior rank officer with a look that was asking if the junior rank officer was an idiot, "I'm looking for our mecha operators…" 'He just asked me where our mecha operators are. Aren't I helping him look for them? Are all of the soldiers in this base that dumb?'

The junior rank officer almost spat out a mouthful of blood from the answer. 'Do the people in this 250 Ace Mecha Clan have a screw loose in their brain?'

Right as he was about to become angry, the driver exclaimed, "They're here, they're here!" Afterwards, he literally pulled out his torso out of the window and began furiously waving towards the back of the convoy.

The junior rank officer looked towards the direction where the driver was waving at, but he didn't see anything. After squinting his eyes to try to spot for something, he seemed to have thought of something. He patted his body and found his binoculars, then quickly placing it in front of his eyes. At the edge of the horizon, dust could be seen being swept up like a storm. A white and blue dragon was moving the dust storm. When it got closer, the junior rank officer had a stunned expression on his face. The dragons was actually a group of people. They wore the 23rd Division's white and blue uniforms and were running towards them at a fast pace.

The reason why the junior rank officer was surprised was because of the speed at which that group of people moved as it was only possible for experts who had reached the Qi-Jin stage to reach that speed.

Not long after, even the soldiers from the bse could see them. It showed just how fast they were going.

"They…" The junior rank officer felt his lips were chapped.

"Our mecha operators." The driver had a big grin on his face. "They ran all the way from the main base to here."

'Run? A few hundred kilometers…' The junior rank officer just could wrap his head around that answer. He asked weakly, "Why are they running here?" 'If they had the physical endurance to run all the way here then they would totally be able to operate a mecha and fly here… No, mecha operators who were Qi-Jin experts didn't have any problems with endurance.' The person-in-charge's brain began to twist and turn, causing him to actually become unable to compute the situation.

The driver waved his hand and said, "It was because they were too excited, angering our regiment commander."

"Then…?" The junior rank officer asked with stunned look on his face.

"They were punished and sent to do some cross-country running," the driver said with schadenfreude.

'What a terrifying regiment commander…' The person-in-charge was dumbfounded. He actually began to stutter, "Then, then, where is your regiment commander?"

Before the driver could speak, the soldiers who made up the white and blue dragon all stopped in front of the hover car. Their faces were all red, with their hands holding their legs as they breathed heavily. Even for Qi-Jin experts, it wasn't easy for them to run alongside the convoy. They had to put in all of their might just to catch up with it.

"Qi Long and the others aren't here yet?" The driver looked around but didn't see Qi Long and the others. He instantly covered his mouth and laughed.

"Boom!" A silhouette landed from the sky and knelt half-way onto the ground. He had a girl on his back. It was Han Xuya. Han Xuya jumped down from the person's shoulder excitedly and shouted, "Next time you get punished Qi Long, I'm going to be your baggage again!"

"I definitely don't want to do that ever again!" Qi Long almost died from exhaustion. 'What did Han Xuya eat when she was growing up? She was so heavy.'

Another person followed behind him and landed in the same style. Luo Lang piggy-backed Luo Chao and arrived swiftly as well. Luo Chao jumped down immediately and asked in a caring tone, "Elder Brother, are you alright?"

Luo Lang was exhausted to the point where he couldn't speak and could only wave his hand. In order to increase the workload of these guys who were at the domain stage, the Boss made them piggy-back one person while they ran here ,in addition to the 150 kilograms sandbags on their ankles. Luo Lang thought he was going to die on the way to the base, but luckily the distance wasn't too far.

Chapter 795 - Gather!

Many people started dropping down from the sky one by one. One of them stumbled as he landed. The person beside him released the person he was holding and helped the person who stumbled.

Lin Zhong-qing got held by a strong hand, preventing him from falling on the ground. He was sweating profusely. His entire forehead was filled with sweat. His military uniform was soaked too. When compared to everyone in Lingtian, his physical skills was weaker than the rest of them. Hence, even though he managed to keep up with the main group, he really felt like dying in the end. He almost collapsed when he stumbled just now.

He looked at the person who helped him and said indifferently, "Thank you."

Lin Zhong-qing would never imagine that Li Yingjie, the person who forced him to enter his team in the Scout Academy, would become his teammate in the future. He thought about the past and all sorts of emotions well up in his mind.

Li Yingjie scoffed when he heard Lin Zhong-qing thanking him. "Although you are a logistician, you must remember that you are a member of the Lingtian Battle Team too. Look at you. You have been escaping training so your physical skills got weaker. What an embarrassment to us. When you reach the base, you must remember to train with us every morning."

Lin Zhong-qing really wanted to punch him in the face when he heard that, the only stopping him from doing so, was his fatigued body. He wasn't able to train because of them. Every one of them had so many requests. They didn't know how much effort he needed to put in to satisfy all of their requests.

As expected, Li Yingjie was still as irritating as before. Even when he became his teammate, he was still irritating.

"Even if I want to train, I will follow Qi Long and Luo Lang." Li Yingjie gritted his teeth and glanced at Li Yingjie. He would not train with this bastard.

Lin Zhong-qing's gaze made Li Yingjie unhappy. "Are you looking down on my team?" Although they were team 10, that didn't mean that they were the last of the 10 teams.

"I'm in Qi Long's team." Lin Zhong-qing's reason was irrefutable.

Li Yingjie was furious. He glared at Qi Long, stunning him.

That stupid Qi Long advanced to the domain stage before him and even snatched his team members. Li Yingjie remembered all the grudges he had against Qi Long. It showed how furious he was when he didn't manage to get Lin Zhong-qing as his team members in the past. This had already become the devil in his heart.

Lin Zhong-qing wanted to get away from Li Yingjie but he stopped when he saw the last batch of members coming in.

Li Lanfeng arrived with a white ball on his head while carrying two team members in his arms, one on each side. He must have been really tired or the two team members in his arms couldn't hold on anymore. For whatever reason, all of them suddenly felt light-headed. However, Li Lanfeng reacted quickly. He let go of the two team members in his arms and stopped himself from slamming on the ground with his two hands.

The white ball saw this and immediately started making a sound. It slapped its tentacles on Li Lanfeng's metal mask.

Li Lanfeng was able to communicate with Little White using his spiritual energy so he knew what Little White was saying. His face turned green with anger. 'This little fellow is laughing at his physique. Bastard!'

Li Lanfeng wanted to kill this evil fellow. If this fellow didn't purposefully increase its weight along the way, he wouldn't have performed so badly. After this experience, Li Lanfeng finally understood the purpose of the health-bolstering Qi cultivation exercises Ling Lan had taught him. This health-bolstering Qi cultivation exercises should be used when he was exercising, helping him to replenish his stamina. That was why he was able to last until now even with Little White's weight and the two people in his arms.

Li Lanfeng wanted to kill Little White but he couldn't do so in reality. Little White was Ling Lan's pet. If he offended this fellow, it would talk bad about him in front of Ling Lan. Li Lanfeng's mood turned worse when he thought about this. 'To hell with these small talks!'

Li Lanfeng didn't want to continue to be mocked by this stupid Little White. Hence, he gritted his teeth and pushed himself off the ground. As he was about to do that, someone reached his hand out and pulled him up. This person was Li Shiyu. He was also exhausted but he pushed himself to help Li Lanfeng up.

"Boom!" Something smashed into the ground again and dust flew in the air.

Luo Lang held his breath and used his hand to fan the dust away. Then, he saw what landed in front of him. It was three humans, lying prone on the ground without moving.

Luo Lang waited for the dust to disappear before going forward and kicking the person lying in the middle. "Hey, Xie Yi, are you dead?"

Xie Yi looked up and gave a hideous smile. "Of course not. I'm in pain and I'm happy." He didn't expect his boss to ask Li Lanfeng and him to take two team members with them while they were running here. Although he didn't need to carry them, making it seemed like an easy mission, his two team members lost their stamina halfway through the journey. They had reached their limits. He literally dragged them through the next half of the journey. Thus, making him be in a worse state than Qi Long and Luo Lang.

One of the experienced soldiers saw that there was no one left and shouted, "Gather!" He was the team leader of team 01, Yang Mingzhi.

At his command, all the 200 soldiers gathered and split quickly into 11 teams. The five members that couldn't even move anymore due to exhaustion were dragged into the 11th team by Han Xuya and Luo Chao, who didn't use any strength along the journey at all.

After gathering and counting their people, the ten team leaders and the head of the logisticians, Lin Zhong-qing, concluded that no one was left behind. Then, they turned to look at the driver who was smiling at them.

Chang Xinyuan! Qi Long moved his mouth without a sound, wanting to ask him how their Boss was feeling now. He winked at Chang Xinyuan and hoped that he could give them some hints. If their Boss's mood was bad, they would rather wait and not act rashly.

Chang Xinyuan just shrugged and maintained his smile. He was schadenfreude. The 200 people standing below were furious at him. They wanted to pull him out and beat him up. They were from the same mecha clan. Why did they have to suffer so much while this person enjoyed his time on the bus as he drove their Boss over?

The door of bullet-shaped hover car closest to them suddenly opened. A young officer was revealed, half-lying on a chair while wearing a white and blue military uniform.

"Regiment commander!" Everyone stood up straight and greeted her. They wanted to show her that they still had energy left in them.

The young officer opened her eyes when she heard the shout. The chair was tilted back to the sitting position. She looked at the exhausted soldiers outside. The soldiers felt a cold gaze moving passed them, cooling their warm bodies immediately. Their bodies tensed up involuntarily. A chill ran down their spine and their hearts pounded furiously.

'God, please bless us and make sure our regiment commander is satisfied!' If they were ordered to run another few hundred kilometers, they would definitely collapse halfway through.

Chapter 796 - Rank!

"Lin Zhong-qing!" A cold voice sounded beside Lin Zhong-qing's ears. Lin Zhong-qing shivered. His face was already pale due to exhaustion but his face turned even paler. It was full of fear. He didn't dare to make any delays so he shouted immediately, "Here!"

"Li Shiyu!" Li Shiyu's face turned pale too as his name was called. "Here!"

A few more people were called out too. All the logisticians were called. Lin Zhong-qing's deputies, Li Jinghong, He Chaoyang, Yuan Youyun, and Luo Shaoyun were all called. Gao Jinyun's small team was also called too. The five people who laid on the ground exhausted were part of Gao Jinyun's team. Gao Jinyun and his team members' physical skills were all not high. Hence, they became logisticians.

When they were ordered to join the long-distance marathon, Gao Jinyun knew that their weak performance during this marathon had angered their regiment commander. He knew that they were dead. The results were just like what he expected.

"Li Lanfeng!" Li Lanfeng's lips twitched. As expected, Ling Lan was not satisfied with his performance.

"Xie Yi!" Xie Yi's expression collapsed. He was the last to arrive. He knew that he wouldn't have a good ending.

"Double your training at night!" Ling Lan finally told everyone their punishment for those people with unsatisfying results.

"Yes!"

Before Chang Xinyuan could give them a smile of pity, he heard his Boss calling his name. "Chang Xinyuan!"

"Here!" Chang Xinyuan quickly replied. He wondered if his smile was too glaring. 'Did I anger my Boss?''

"Luo Chao and Han Xuya." Ling Lan looked at the only two ladies at the scene. This long marathon was extremely tiring. Ling Lan was afraid that they would faint so she didn't ask them to run. They were in charge of being the burdens this time. However, this didn't mean that she would let them off just because they were females. Ling Lan knew that this was the battlefield. Without absolute strength, they could die at any moment. She would never allow this to happen.

"You three will train with them at night."

"Ah!"Chang Xinyuan groaned. On the other side, Han Xuya and Luo Chao's face turned red with excitement. They shouted, "Yes, regiment commander." They had been waiting for this day for a long time, especially Luo Chao. She clenched her fist tightly and told herself that she must catch up with her Boss.

The person-in-charge of inspecting the convoy was stunned by their behaviors. When he heard Ling Lan's cold voice, he suddenly regained his senses. He looked over and saw a person with a cold aura standing in front of the door of the bullet-shaped hover car. He only glanced at this person but the person instantly noticed his glance. Her cold eyes turned to him. The person-in-charge felt as though his blood was frozen. His entire body turned cold. He was so frightened he didn't dare to look at Ling Lan again.

"Second lieutenant?" A cold voice sounded beside him. The voice melted the ice around him and woke him up from his thoughts.

"Yes, regiment commander!" The second lieutenant instinctively greeted Ling Lan as though she was his regiment commander too.

Ling Lan was speechless. 'What's wrong with this second lieutenant? Shouldn't he call me senior officer or lieutenant colonel?' She was not his regiment commander. However, she didn't have the time to correct him. She saluted and asked, "Can we go in now?"

"Yes, regiment commander!" The second lieutenant shouted after saluting back at her. Then, he signaled the people behind him to let them in.

Soon, the convoy entered the base. All their mechas were placed inside 250 Ace Mecha Clan's personal mecha hold. The second lieutenant watched as they went in. After a while, he suddenly remembered that he didn't ask them where their logisticians were. Also, for some reason, he called the lieutenant colonel 'regiment commander' instead.

In the base of Evil Wind Mecha Team, around 30 people were sitting in a meeting room, talking about the 250 Ace Mecha Clan which entered Base 013 recently.

"Leader, I heard that we have a new neighbor. It's an ace mecha clan." One of the team members told his leader about the news that had been spreading through their base recently.

"The information I got from Help states that there are only 200 people in that ace mecha clan. They only have enough mecha operators to form a major team like us but they are a mecha clan. Leader, do you think that 250 Ace Mecha Clan has some special background?" A feminine-looking soldier who looked around 30 years old said.

"The Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan that were stationed here in the past was nothing special. Their regiment commander was not even our leader's match. Yet, they are a titled ace mecha clan." A team member gave a look of contempt.

"Yes. In the past, I heard that titled ace mecha clans are very powerful. Now, I feel that they are nothing." This person's words gained the approval of everyone in the meeting room.

The team leader, who was sitting on the main command's seat, shook his head instantly. "That is not true. Changfeng Mecha Clan is not a real titled ace mecha clan." He remembered the words the Regiment Commander of Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan said to him before he left. Those words let him understand how deep the water was in the mecha world.

His mind went back to the day when he had a fight with the Regiment Commander of Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan using their mechas. They were both exhausted but no one was able to win against the other.

"Yan Three, I didn't expect a mecha operator who came from the grass-roots to be so powerful," the Regiment Commander of Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan exclaimed.

"Cheng Shu, you are not bad too. As expected of the regiment commander of a titled ace mecha clan." Yan Three respected Cheng Shu too. He used to be angry at Cheng Shu because he always evaded his invitation to have a fight.

"My mecha clan is not a titled ace mecha clan," Cheng Shu jeered at himself.

Yan Three was stunned. He knew that only titled mecha clans had a title. Other mecha clans were called by numbers. He asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Cheng Shu looked at Yan Three. "I'm going to leave Base 013 soon. Before I leave, let me give you a present. I'll tell you some secrets of the military so that you won't provoke someone you shouldn't."

Yan Three felt his heart being lifted up and he listened attentively.

Cheng Shu sighed. "A real titled ace mecha clan is indeed very powerful. They are not like my mecha clan which is unable to maintain its title. You must learn to look at their rank.

"Ah!" Yan Three exclaimed in surprise. He thought that all titled ace mecha clans were the same. He didn't know that there were different ranks.

Chapter 797 - Good Fortune!

"There are five ranks available for a titled ace mecha clan, and each rank is further split into five sub-ranks, differentiated by the number of stars it has. So, the most powerful titled ace mecha clans are first-rank five-star ace mecha clans. Everyone in those mecha clans is powerful and frightening. Yan Three, if you meet a first-rank titled ace mecha clan, don't ever offend them. You can't afford to provoke anyone in those mecha clans. Even a normal member of those ace mecha clan is much stronger than us."

Yan Three nodded seriously. If a normal member of those ace mecha clan was stronger than Cheng Shu, then the people in those mecha clans were definitely not people he could provoke.

Cheng Shu suddenly smiled. "If you stay at Base 013 forever, you might not be able to meet them at all. Even I have only heard of them but never saw any of them personally."

Yan Three scoffed. 'Why could I be stuck here forever? I would eventually leave this base one day.' He got angry so he asked in a mocking tone, "What rank is Changfeng then?"

Cheng Shu's smile was turned upside down and his face turned green with anger. After some time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Changfeng? We are just a fifth-tank one-star ace mecha clan, the worst among the worst of all titled ace mecha clans. If we drop another rank lower, our title will be taken away and we will become a normal ace mecha clan"

"Your ace mecha clan is that bad?" Yan Three looked at him with disdain. "If it is that bad, why can't you all just work harder to climb higher? Why can't you gain another star?"

Cheng Shu sighed. He replied, "This is a problem of succession. Every titled ace mecha clan, even a first-rank five-star ace mecha clan, will have this problem. If the succession is successful, the ace mecha clan will be able to maintain its rank and might even be able to climb higher in rank. That ace mecha clan might even become an important ace mecha clan to the division or it might even become the core of the military, attaching long-lasting glory to its name."

"However, the possibility of this happening is very low. Many titled ace mecha clans were not able to pass the torch successfully. Each generation got worse than the one before them, resulting in their ranks getting lower and some even got their title removed, becoming a normal mecha clan in the end. In addition to that, some titled ace mecha clans would get sent on the battlefield and their men would get killed in the process of an ongoing war, making their mecha clan severely weaker by the time they leave the battlefield. Changfeng ace mecha clan is just getting worse by the generation, and there's no way to stop that." Cheng Shu wanted to make Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan better but he couldn't defy the rules of the military.

"If you don't have enough mecha operators, why can't you just train more?" Yan Three didn't understand Cheng Shu's thinking process.

"You have never entered an ace mecha clan so you don't know the unspoken rule in the military: removing blood and grooming blood." Cheng Shu gave a forced smile.

"Removing blood and grooming blood?" Yan Three came from the grass-roots units. When he heard what Cheng Shu said, he felt that he had wasted half of his life in the military as he had never heard of such a thing.

"The ranks between all the titled ace mecha clans are not present to differentiate the capabilities of all ace mecha clans. They are present because of this unspoken rule. This unspoken rule allows titled ace mecha clans that have a higher rank than us within our division to pick outstanding mecha operators from our ace mecha clan and transfer them to their own ace mecha clan. In a sense, our mission as a low-rank ace mecha clan is to groom mecha operators. With this unspoken rule, a pyramid is formed within the ace mecha clans. The tip of the pyramid consists of the most powerful ace mecha clans which had the best mecha operators, making them the core of the military."

"There is nothing wrong with that." Yan Three felt that this rule suited the military. The core ace mecha clans should have the right to have the best mecha operators.

"However, this rule causes the lower rank ace mecha clans to be stuck at the bottom of the pyramid forever. Some ace mecha clans fell down the ranks because too much blood was removed from them. Changfeng ace mecha clan is an instance of this." When Cheng Shu took over the Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan, he was motivated and driven to bring his mecha clan to the top. However, when the ace mecha clans above them kept taking away their mecha operators whom they took much time and effort to groom, his heart started to turn cold. He didn't want to waste his efforts anymore on someone who would eventually be taken away. After years and years of removing blood, Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan started to drop in rank. That was why they were sent to Planet Haijiao. They were forsaken by the military.

"Removing too much blood?" Yan Three sensed something amiss.

"Yes. At first, only three mecha operators can be taken out every five years. Now, it changed to two mecha operators every year. We are unable to keep our good mecha operators in our clan so we can't increase the ability of our ace mecha clan." Cheng Shu sighed loudly. "Not only that, the ace mecha clans above us might give us some mecha operators with special backgrounds too. These people are not ace mecha masters but they still forced them into our ace mecha clans so that they can get a good resume."

These people would usually leave half a year later, and they would be placed in higher positions but in actual fact, they didn't have any capabilities to obtain that position in the first place. What a joke. Ever since he came to Planet Haijiao, the higher authorities never sent anyone like that in his clan anymore so he managed to get some peace here. Cheng Shu felt that this was something good he got from the adversity.

"I see." Yan Three finally understood what Cheng Shu meant. The mecha world was so complicated.

"Yan Three, we are leaving soon. I don't know which ace mecha clan will be sent here. However, the commanding officer of your base had offended someone within the military headquarters. I think that they won't send you a powerful ace mecha clan…" Cheng Shu thought for a moment and decided to give him a suggestion. "Yan Three, if you can, join an ace mecha clan. You have the ability to. You shouldn't be wasting your time here."

Yan Three shrugged. "How about I join your ace mecha clan?"

Cheng Shu smiled bitterly. "I don't want to harm your future. Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan has been forsaken. The military had not sent anyone to examine our ace mecha clan for the past few years. If you join us, you will never have the chance to climb higher. If another ace mecha clan comes to this base after we leave, find a chance to join them. I hate the removing blood system but it can help you."

This was Cheng Shu's last piece of advice to Yan Three.

Back in the meeting room, Yan Three smiled coldly "Help me?" He had ambitions to climb higher up the ranks, but if he was to join an ace mecha clan, that clan's regiment commander must have the ability to make him bow down to him first. If not, he would rather stay at Base 013 his entire life as he would not tolerate being under a weak regiment commander.

"Ah!" A team member shouted, "250 Ace Mecha Clan is here. One of our members saw a huge group of people coming in."

"Leader, shall we take a look?" Everyone looked at Yan Three excitedly. They remembered how their leader brought them over when Changfeng Ace Mecha Clan came and gave them an opening gambit.

Yan Three knocked his fingers on the table and thought for a moment. Then, he smiled. "Let's go."

"Do your best, everyone!" Han Xuya placed her hands on her hips as she shouted at the logisticians who were moving their equipment.

On the other side, Luo Chao was busy recording all the pieces of equipment that were placed inside their warehouse. These were weapons that were brought over from the 23rd division. It was precious to them. Although Planet Haijiao would provide them with some weapons, their Boss didn't want to rely on other people. Hence, their Boss prepared all these as their backup. If they met any urgent situations, they would not have to wait for other people to help them.

"Hey, there are two beautiful younger sisters in the ace mecha clan that came this time. What good fortune!" A frivolous voice sounded above them.
