Chapter 1222: 1222
A huge starship fleet moved slowly towards the Twilight battlefield .
In the middle of the fleet, many huge transport motherships could be seen . They made up two-thirds of the fleet . There were battleships and escort starships protecting them .
The labels on the starships were different but they all started with the same word . This meant that they were from the same department but of different teams . Only the serial numbers and the numbers behind the word were different .
However, three starships had different logos .
It was a black phoenix with its wings spread out . The word ‘Ling’ was printed in bold below the black phoenix . It was hard not to notice this logo .
This wasn’t the only reason why the starships stood out . The other reason was that the three starships were Destruction Devils, the most powerful battleship model in the Federation .
However, Destruction Devil hadn’t been officially launched in the market . Only a few top-level fleets managed to get one or two for testing purposes . Destruction Devil wasn’t the perfect starship but it was already miles better than other battleships . It optimised the steering ability and speed of the starship . The agility of the starship was increased too . This was a huge breakthrough in starship manufacturing
Its speed couldn’t be compared with a mecha but it was definitely more powerful than other battleships . However, the cost of making a Destruction Devil was very high . If not, all the battleships in the Federation might have been changed to Destruction Devil .
The military didn’t want to give up such advanced technology yet so they started experimenting with how they could make a Destruction Devil while lowering the cost price . Once they solved this issue, there would be a new era of starships .
Yet, even though Destruction Devils were expensive, the Lingtian Independent Army managed to procure three of them . Even with limitless money, it was impossible to procure such commodities without the help of Ling Xiao .
“Lingtian Independent Army really has a powerful background . ” The three major generals were having a discussion virtually .
By right, they should have the authority to check the details of all divisions and independent armies . But, when they wanted to obtain details about Lingtian Independent Army, their mainframe told them that their authorization wasn’t high enough to access such data .
What background did the commander of Lingtian have? Was it a secret division formed by the military? Unfortunately, Lieutenant General Ling never showed his face after that video call . They weren’t able to get more information out of him .
“Ling Lan… do you think he has any relationship with General Ling Xiao?” Major General Xu looked at the frightening character “Ling” on the starship . For some reason, it reminded him of General Ling Xiao .
“Ling Xiao only has one son . Wasn’t Prince Ling heavily injured during the battle on Planet Haijiao which eventually caused him to be retired from the army?” Major General Qiu told everyone what he knew .
“He didn’t retire . He just rests at home . If he was asked to retire, the soldiers would be disappointed with the military . After all, he created a miracle . The military won’t be so stupid to degrade his accomplishments . ” Major General Di immediately corrected Major General Qiu .
Major General Xu raised his eyebrows . There was excitement in his eyes . “So there’s a chance he’s Prince Ling, right? Based on his achievements on Planet Haijiao, it’s reasonable for them to give him an independent army . That way, he’ll be able to enjoy his remaining life in the military . ” He paused for a moment and frowned . “That’s not right . Ling Lan said that he’s the commanding officer of this mission, and his rank is lieutenant general . That means that he has actual commanding power in the independent army . ”
“Even if he was awarded with so many merits because of the battle on Planet Haijiao, even if there is a possibility he is Prince Ling, he won’t be able to be the commander of an independent army so quickly . Is there something we don’t know?” Major General Xu couldn’t find an answer . He furrowed his brows in ponderment . The military kept the battle at the Nebula Boundary a secret . No one knew what happened besides a few key personnel .
“No matter what the truth is, it will come to light one day,” Major General Di said in a low voice .
The other two major generals agreed with what he said . They pushed their frustrations away and waited patiently for the truth .
The starships from Lingtian maintained a triangular formation behind the transport fleet .
Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong were on one of the three Destruction Devils . They sat in the control room and chatted over tea .
“Our commander asked us to lead ten mecha brigades to escort the transport ships to Twilight . While doing so, he is bringing Base Nebula over to Twilight . It’s obvious that he doesn’t want us to get involved in the mess . ” Liu Furong frowned . He was worried about the punishment they might receive for moving Base Nebula .
Yang Mingzhi looked up and smiled lightly . “Our commander has always done things with caution . He would never put himself in a hopeless situation . ”
Liu Furong relaxed a little and he started thinking about the possible reasons for Ling Lan to be seemingly so reckless .
“You mean that we’re his trump card?” Liu Furong seemed to understand something .
“Besides us, who are the leaders of the other eight mecha brigades?” Yang Mingzhi’s smile got brighter . When he received the list of the ten mecha brigades from Ling Lan, his worry for his commander disappeared . His commander had also thought of the situations he thought of and had made the necessary arrangements to counteract every possible problem .
“Qi Long, Han Jijyun, Li Yingjie, Zhao Jun… all of them are deathly loyal to the commander . Even Yan Three is loyal to Ling Lan . Cao Mingde, Luo Lijiang, and Xuhong are the deputy leaders of Luo Lang, Xie Yi, and Li Lanfeng . They were recommended by their leaders and got promoted to brigade leaders . They are trustworthy too,” Liu Furong smiled as he replied .
“You too . Vice Commander Liu, you’re loyal to Ling Lan too . ” Yang Mingzhi smiled back .
“Aren’t you? Although you belong to the First Marshal’s faction, I believe that you won’t betray the commander if there’s a dispute between him and the First Marshal,” Liu Furong said firmly .
Yang Mingzhi retracted his smile slowly . After a few seconds, he replied in a resolute tone, “If the commander doesn’t betray the nation, I will never betray him . ”
Liu Furong smiled . Yang Mingzhi smiled too . The atmosphere turned lively .
Only Yang Mingzhi knew how important his words were .
“Master, based on the surveillance and feedback from all the satellites I can connect to, there’s no sight of our enemy around the transport team . ” Meng Lan’s clear voice echoed in the resting room of the command center .
Ling Lan was leaning on her chair, resting with closed eyes . She opened them slowly . “Thank you for your hard work, Meng Lan . ”
Meng Lan smiled gently . “It’s my honour to work for you . ”
