Chapter 806: I Don't Have Anything Against You!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A person appeared after Li Yingjie's shout. He was a humble-looking youth with the rank of major. The moment he walked over, he got a shock. 'Why is everyone looking at me so weirdly?'

He glanced around and scratched the back of his head in puzzlement. "Erm, who is looking for me?"

He turned and looked at the members of team 10 in a search for the answer to his question. However, all the mecha operators from team 10 lowered their heads whenever Qi Long turned to look at them. They were having a moment of silence for Qi Long. 'An innocent person was pushed out by their team leader to take the bullet again.'

Qi Long then turned to look at Han Xuya and Luo Chao, after he noticed everyone from team 10 wasn't responding to him.

Luo Chao lowered her head as she pointed to Song Yiqing's direction.

Qi Long turned to where her finger pointed to and saw Song Yiqing. He then started to scan Song Yiqing from head to toe. After a while, he said, "Erm, who are you? I don't recognize you."

Song Yiqing's face had turned green in anger. He wanted to teach that arrogant brat a lesson but the moment he exposed his background, that brat ran away in fright. However, that brat still didn't want to give up and called his teammate over to help him. But, when his teammate walked over, he just acted blur and said that he didn't know him? 'Hmph, do they think that the Song family is easy to bully?'

"I didn't expect a small major to have the guts to mess me with me…" Song Yiqing gritted his teeth and waved his hand. A middle-aged man suddenly jumped out from the crowd and attacked Qi Long.

Boom! Qi Long raised his fist and resisted the attack. He immediately raised his hand after that and shouted, "Wait!"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. He looked back at Song Yiqing and waited for his command. The Song family placed him here so that he could protect Song Yiqing. Hence, he would only listen to Song Yiqing's orders.

Qi Long saw this and knew that the snobbish lieutenant colonel was the decisive factor. He quickly continued, "I just came here and I really don't know what is happening. If you want to fight, you should at least give me a reason to, right? If not, how am I supposed to answer to my regiment commander?"

'If Boss got angry at me because of this, I would definitely be punished. But… times are different now. I am a domain realm master so I shouldn't just roll over and get punished whenever Boss is in a bad mood. I need to maintain my reputation and dignity as a domain realm master, right…? Fine, in actual fact, my reputation and dignity mean nothing. I am still the Qi Long that Boss could torture whenever he wants.' Qi Long wanted to cry when he thought of this.

"You don't know? Why don't you ask your friend?" Song Yiqing said furiously. 'Why is he putting on that innocent face? Who is he trying to show?'

Qi Long turned and glared at Li Yingjie who was hiding in the crowd. Li Yingjie knew that he was discovered so he popped his head out and said, "Song Yiqing, the grandson of the Second Marshal."

Qi Long felt his teeth hurting. He knew he got fooled by Li Yingjie this time. This stupid person gave him such a big headache the moment he arrived. He looked at Song Yiqing and pondered seriously for a moment. He appeared enlightened and said, "Oh, you are a descendant of the Second Marshal… however, I don't have anything against you. Haha, goodbye!" He turned and wanted to run away. If he had the chance to not provoke this person, he would take it.

When Qi Long retreated, Song Yiqing knew that this bunch of brats were just sheep in wolves' clothing. He was fooled, and his heart started to burn with anger because of it. He shouted furiously, "Hit him!"

The middle-aged man received the order and rushed towards Qi Long. He raised his fist and aimed it at Qi Long's back. However, Qi Long didn't seem to notice the sneak attack at all. Everyone gasped in shock. Of course, only the members of 250 Mecha Clan were extremely calm. If Leader Qi Long would get injured by this, he wouldn't be called Leader Qi Long anymore.

Boom! A human figure flew back into the room and slammed heavily onto the ground. The figure rolled on the ground and toppled a few tables before stopping.

"Pfft!" The person lying on the ground vomited multiple mouthfuls of blood. He couldn't get up anymore.

Qi Long patted his military boots as though he was dusting it. Then, he put down his leg and said nonchalantly, "I said that I don't have anything against you. Why must you still attack me? How stupid."

Qi Long was an oppressive person in nature. However, Ling Lan had a more extreme version of his nature which allowed her to easily suppress his true nature, so he seldom could reveal it.

The entire cafeteria was dead silent. That middle-aged man was at the peak stage of Qi-Jin. However, Qi Long managed to injure him with a single kick. This showed how powerful he was. Everyone looked at the young major in shock and wondered who he really was.

Song Yiqing narrowed his eyes. He was astounded by Qi Long's display of prowess too. However, Qi Long was doing so to obviously humiliate him. This was the first time someone looked down on him so blatantly. His emotions took control of him. He pointed his finger at Qi Long and said angrily, "How dare you injure my man. You…! The Song family will not forgive you!"

"Do you think I'm really afraid of the Song family?" Qi Long snorted. He didn't want to cause any trouble but since someone was really asking for it, he would gladly give that someone trouble. His Boss only instilled them with three rules: don't create trouble, face your problems bravely, and annihilate your enemy.

"Fine. How arrogant. I'm interested to know who you are. How dare you disrespect the Second Marshal!" Song Yiqing was not an idiot. He immediately took out the second marshal card so that he could use it against Qi Long since the Song family card wouldn't do.

"Marshal Song is a role-model of the military, and I'm a soldier, so of course,I respect Marshal Song a lot. However, what does the Song family have to do with Marshal Song?" Qi Long smiled. 'Is he planning to frame him for being disrespectful towards a marshal? Does Song Yiqing think that he is really just a humble and honest person?'

There was one requirement in order to become a marshal. It was that he couldn't be affiliated with his family. It meant that his merits and honor was only for himself. Thus, it wouldn't affect his family's status quo, no matter how much merits he has. Anyone that breaks this rule would be brought to the military court. Of course, none of the marshals really followed this rule. They would all help their descendants to gain more benefits and resources, giving them a smoother path in the military. Everyone knew this. However, no one would say it blatantly. Qi Long made use of this point, so by right, he didn't have to be afraid of Marshal Song.

In the end, Song Yiqing could only complain that Qi Long was disrespectful towards him as Qi Long had a lower rank than him. It was a rule that officers with lower ranks should maintain a certain level of respect for anyone who had a higher rank than them. However, this rule was only applicable whenever they are in a division. Once they went out of the division, this rule was just for the show. When a dispute happened, no one would care what your rank was. The people clearing up the mess would be the generals of the various divisions.

However, no generals would be willing to bow their heads down to their equals, as this would affect the reputation of their respective divisions. Hence, no one would be punished for such a small matter. Also, Qi Long's father was the general of a division. 'Hehe, my father always hit me so it is probably alright for me to take a tiny revenge and create some trouble for him.'

Qi Long gave an evil smile. But, to other people, his face was still humble and honest-looking.

Chapter 807: Bow Down!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Song Yiqing was speechless. He really didn't know if Qi Long really didn't know anything or was he serious about that.

"Since you dare to challenge the Song family, you should have the guts to tell me what your name is, right?" Song Yiqing sneered.

"23rd division, 250 Ace Mecha Clan, leader of team 03, Qi Long," Qi Long replied calmly.

Song Yiqing then looked at Li Yingjie. He still remembered that Li Yingjie humiliated him too.

Li Yingjie raised his head arrogantly. "23rd division, 250 Ace Mecha Clan, leader of team 10, Li Yingjie."

"Good. I'll remember you!" Song Yiqing gritted his teeth as he replied. He decided that he must frame them for being disrespectful towards the Second Marshal. Even if they denied it, it wouldn't affect anything. Such normal soldiers who had no background were easy to deal with.

At that moment, Li Yingjie suddenly sniggered. "Oh right, to prevent you from finding the wrong person, there is something I have to tell you."

Qi Long felt that something bad was going to happen.

"Our team 03 leader is the son of the General of the 13th division, the famous god of the battlefield, Qi Yaoyang." Li Yingjie pushed Qi Long to the crossfire without any hesitation as he really couldn't do anything to Song Yiqing. If Song Yiqing took revenge on him and let his grandfather knew what had happened, he would be chased back to the 4th division. He already spent a lot of effort and time to gain merits in the 23rd division, so he didn't want to go back and become a puppet controlled by his family.

"It's the god of the battlefield!"

"It's the invincible god of the battlefield, Qi Yaoyang!"

Everyone gasped in shock. The three great marshals control the entire military world. However, to the soldiers, their fame was not as great as the undefeatable gods like Ling Xiao and Qi Yaoyang. They were the people they respected the most. Hence, when they heard that Qi Long was Qi Yaoyang's son, they started to look at him with respect. The pressure from Song Yiqing's background now seemed insignificant in comparison.

Even Song Yiqing's heart started pounding furiously when he heard this. A normal major without any background was totally different from the son of an undefeatable god. If he continued to be at loggerheads with Qi Long, he would have to face the anger of two generals, General Ling Xiao and General Qi Yaoyang, as General Ling Xiao would definitely protect Qi Long for the sake of General Qi Yaoyang. That meant that his grandfather would have to face the attack from both the First Marshal and the Third Marshal. This would be a great crisis towards his grandfather's position. The best case scenario of that situation would that the subordinates of the First Marshal weren't willing to help the people of the Third Marshal, hence his grandfather would only have to face one faction. However, even this scenario was already enough for his grandfather to have a headache.

Song Yiqing was not a stupid person, proven by the fact that he was able to gain the support of his grandfather. He immediately thought of the terrible consequences that could come up. His heart dropped. He restrained himself and squeezed out a smile on his face. "I didn't know that you are the son of General Qi. You have my respect. Our families are both working hard for the Federation, so we clearly shouldn't disturb them with our tiny farce"

"So?" Qi Long gave his humble smile again as he scratched the back of his head, pretending that he didn't know what Song Yiqing was saying.

"This matter between us will end here!" Song Yiqing forced his words out. He admitted defeat.

"Oh, was there anything between us?" Qi Long looked confused.

"No." Song Yiqing narrowed his eyes. He knew Qi Long was trying to make things difficult for him. Qi Long just wanted to hear him admitting defeat personally.

Song Yiqing controlled his emotions. Qi Yaoyang? His grandfather would definitely deal with this person and wrestle back control of the 13th division. When that happens, he would take his revenge on this bastard and let him understand the consequences of provoking him.

"That's good. I already said in the beginning that I don't have anything against you." Qi Long smiled and turned to look for Li Yingjie. 'That sneaky fellow used me! Does he think I'm so easily pushed around?'

Qi Long's indifferent attitude proved that he didn't care about Song Yiqing at all. Song Yiqing could hear the crowd laughing at him, and his face turned green with anger. This time, he was humiliated badly by Qi Long. He knew that his reputation in Base 013 had clearly gone down.

"Boss Song… what do we do now?" Zhou Chen asked softly.

"Let's go!" They had already embarrassed themselves. Should they really continue to stay here and embarrass themselves further?

"Oh, okay!" Zhou Chen didn't dare to say anything else, and he quickly asked his men to leave with Song Yiqing.

The commanding officer, who had been watching the show all this time, pretended that he had just arrived. He walked into the cafeteria and asked, "Why is everyone standing at the door?"

His adjutant saw the confused looks of the people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan and informed them hurriedly, "This is the commanding officer of the base, Senior Colonel Du Mingyi."

"Senior Colonel Du!" Qi Long quickly went forward.

"Major Qi, I didn't know that you are the son of General Qi Yaoyang. That' great. I hope that you will become a legend in the battlefield just like the general." Du Mingyi smiled amiably. He held Qi Long's hand and told him he had high hopes of him. This was a display of goodwill.

Du Mingyi understood why 250 Ace Mecha Clan was so special. It only had a population of a mecha team but it was still able to be recognized as a mecha clan. It must be a mecha clan specially formed for Qi Long, just like 224 Mecha Clan. However, 224 Mecha Clan did things in a secluded manner. They didn't ask Song Yiqing to directly become the regiment commander of the mecha clan. Instead, they let him joined a normal mecha clan first to gain some experience. As for 250 Ace Mecha Clan… well, they did try to hide things up. At least they had a regiment commander for show to protect Qi Long's identity.

"Thank you. I will complete my mission under the guidance of my regiment commander and help protect the base." Qi Long gave a shy smile. His humble face didn't suit his status. Du Mingyi felt relieved. It was good that Qi Long was not someone hard to deal with. If another Song Yiqing came, his position of the commanding officer of the base would be in danger.

He couldn't afford to offend anyone!

Du Mingyi wanted to form a closer relationship with Qi Long but his face suddenly turned serious. He turned and saluted towards the door. "Regiment commander."

All the members of 250 Ace Mecha Clan did the same thing too. They formed up in an orderly manner and saluted seriously, shocking everyone in the cafeteria. The entire canteen turned quiet.

Footsteps could be clearly heard throughout the whole canteen. The crisp sound of a pair of military boots stepping on the floor got closer and closer. When the footsteps stopped, a cold and dignified figure appeared in front of everyone.

This newcomer was wearing the lieutenant colonel uniform with a white cloak around her while holding a short whip in her hand.

Chapter 808: Fatally Attractive?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ever since the harsh training started, a short whip was always in Ling Lan's hand. These short whips were prepared by Luo Chao and Han Xuya. Ling Lan liked the feeling of holding them so she would play around with them even when there was no need to use them.

Suddenly, a flash of white light landed on her right shoulder. Little White looked at everyone with its cute puppy eyes, warming the cold aura around Ling Lan a little. Just a little.

Ling Lan scanned the crowd with her intense gaze. The soldiers from the base felt as though an ice knife was cutting into their flesh. Those that were weaker had to take a step back before they could withstand the intimidating aura.

When she noticed that all the members of 250 Ace Mecha Clan were standing near the entrance of the canteen, she frowned. "What happened?"

Li Lanfeng had been watching the show the entire time so he hurried forward and told Ling Lan what had happened in the canteen when she had not arrived yet.

Ling Lan nodded slightly. After Li Lanfeng finished recounting, she waved her silver short whip and knocked it on her left palm. She said coldly, "In that case, Qi Long and Li Yingjie will be responsible for this matter."

Qi Long and Li Yingjie's expressions froze. Their Boss wanted them to solve their own problems, but… Song Yiqing was not an easy person to deal with.

However, the two of them quickly forgot about Song Yiqing. They believed that if they really couldn't handle him, their Boss would definitely not leave them to the wolves, so there was no need to be afraid!

Du Mingyi was shocked when he saw how respectful Qi Long was towards his regiment commander. He got even more vigilant. He wondered who this regiment commander was. How was he able to have a prince of the Federation like Qi Long bow down to him?

Du Mingyi gathered his thoughts and smiled. "Regiment Commander Ling, you are finally here. Please have a seat."

Although his actual rank was higher than Ling Lan, a regiment commander of an ace mecha clan had the same status as him in the army. He didn't know Ling Lan's background so to be on the safe side, he chose to be polite first.

Ling Lan handed her short whip to Li Lanfeng, and Little White obediently jumped onto Li Lanfeng's shoulder. Ling Lan tilted her body and stretched her hand out in front of her body.

Du Mingyi smiled and walked into the cafeteria with Ling Lan side to side. When they started to walk away from the entrance, the logisticians of the base cleared up the broken tables and set up new tables. Soon, no signs of a fight could be seen in the canteen. The atmosphere was harmonious again. It was as though nothing had happened.

Lin Zhong-qing saw this and nodded his head secretly. 'The logisticians at this base are quite efficient.'

"What are you looking at?" Li Yingjie suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Lin Zhong-qing glanced at him indifferently and walked away without replying.

"Hey, why are you ignoring me?" Li Yingjie asked in a sad tone.

Lin Zhong-qing looked back at him and saw a Li Yingjie who was like a puppy that didn't manage to get praised by its master.

Lin Zhong-qing's heart turned soft. He replied, "You did a good job of being arrogant."

Li Yingjie immediately smiled brightly in response to his praise. His aura also turned radiant and lively.

Lin Zhong-qing was so moved by that smile that he started to doubt himself. 'When Li Yingjie forced me to enter his team in the past, was it really because he wanted to humiliate me? Or did Li Yingjie just want a friend?'

Lin Zhong-qing smiled. 'It doesn't matter now does it, Aren't I under Boss now?' He never regretted his decision. Lin Zhong-qing looked at the firm back of Ling Lan. Ling Lan was someone strong and well-respected. He believed that if he followed Boss Lan, he would stand at the top one day.

Li Shiyu was speechless when he saw Li Yingjie's stupid smile. He felt that Li Yingjie was embarrassing the Li family. He nudged Li Lanfeng with his elbow and pointed at their stupid little brother.

Li Lanfeng smiled when he saw this. He mouthed two words to Li Shiyu, "Fatal Attraction."

The people from the Li family always had this strange ability. It was proven throughout all their generations but no one understood why it happened. The descendants of the Li family would always find a good buddy that would go through thick and thin with him. From the looks of it, Li Yingjie had luckily found his buddy. They hoped that the two of them would be able to become good friends that would help each other through life-or-death.

Li Lanfeng knew that since Li Shiyu wouldn't take over the Li family as the family head, Li Yingjie was the best candidate for the family head. However, once he becomes the family head, he would be exposed to all kinds of deception and plots, preventing him from being able to lead a simple life anymore. If he was able to get Lin Zhong-qing as his best buddy, he would be able to cross through those kinds of problems without too much of a concern.

Li Lanfeng looked at Ling Lan. 'I found my best buddy too, right? I am really lucky.'

Li Shiyu looked at Li Yingjie and then looked back at his eldest cousin brother who was staring at their regiment commander. He turned envious. 'They had all found their best buddies. What about me?' Li Shiyu looked around at all the familiar faces. Yet, none of them gave him that feeling. Li Shiyu suddenly clicked his tongue then laughed at his greed. Not everyone in the Li family was able to find their best buddy. His father was an instance of someone who didn't. Maybe he inherited his father's fate.

Han Jijyun slowly moved towards Qi Long. Qi Long had a bitter expression on his face and said, "Jijyun, help me think of a way out." Luckily, he had someone to rely on.

"What do you think?" Han Jijyun glared at him. 'You have already provoked the person. What else can you do?'

"Do I have to evade that bastard the next time I see him?" Qi Long was frustrated. That was not his style.

"Did you forget what our Boss said? 250 Ace Mecha Clan was going to the top. It will not be a small fry." Han Jijyun reminded his good friend. He felt that there was an underlying meaning behind the order of the arrival of the teams.

"Do you mean…" Qi Long's eyes lit up.

Han Jijyun mouthed, "Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys." Song Yiqing was the chicken. He believed that Li Lanfeng understood this too. That was probably why he stopped Luo Lang, Xie Yi, Zhao Jun, and the rest of the team leaders that wanted to stop Qi Long just now. He allowed the commotion to become bigger and even used Li Yingjie to expose Qi Long's identity.

This was done to create a hype around Qi Long. It would lay the foundation for him to subdue Song Yiqing in the future. It had to be said that every single step they made had been calculated by their Boss. Han Jijyun had to think carefully about his Boss's intentions in case he understood it wrongly and created trouble for his Boss.

Chapter 809: Informing!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On the other side, Luo Chao and Han Xuya were comforting the shocked Lady Mei. They asked if she wanted to go back and get some rest. Lady Mei's face was pale but she still shook her head firmly. Soon, she bid farewell to Luo Chao and Han Xuya and went on to continue her mission with the rest of the JMCs.

Ling Lan and Du Mingyi came to the chairman's table. There were already a few lieutenant colonels and majors sitting on the table. They were also regiment commanders and leaders of the various mecha teams there. When they saw the commanding officer coming towards them with a cold-looking youth, they collectively stood up and welcomed them.

Du Mingyi laughed. "Come, let me introduce to you all. This is the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan which will be stationed at our Base 013 from now on."

Ling Lan's eyes twitched when she heard what Du Mingyi said. She realized that she had an affinity with certain numbers ever since she came into this world. For instance, this base was called Base 013. Her camp was camp 38. Her mecha clan's name was 250 and Qi Long belonged to the 13th division. Luckily, in this world, these numbers have no special meaning. If not, she would be embarrassed.

As Ling Lan complained in her heart, her expression remained the same. Her face still remained cold. After Du Mingyi introduced her, she nodded at everyone at the table and greeted them.

From the short interaction with Ling Lan, Du Mingyi knew that she was silent and hard to get close to, so she was not someone easy to talk to. Hence, he didn't get angry at her attitude and asked Ling Lan to sit down beside him. He went to the front seat and asked everyone to sit down.

Li Lanfeng saw this and helped took Ling Lan's cloak off for her. Ling Lan had no adjutant so such little matters were done by her comrades. Today, Li Lanfeng was on shift.

After Ling Lan sat down, the mecha operators from 250 Ace Mecha Clan also sat down. Du Mingyi noticed this and his eyes twitched. He looked at Ling Lan intently. After a while, he smiled and pointed at the table. He spoke to the lieutenant colonel on his right, "Come, let me introduce the outstanding regiment commanders and leaders of our base. This is the leader of the scout team, Xu Shiming. We are able to escape unscathed many times because Leader Xu and his team constantly providing us with the latest news of the battlefield."

Xu Shiming was a middle-aged man around 40 years old. His eyes were deep. When he saw Ling Lan looking at him, he just nodded sternly. Ling Lan nodded back too. In the future, 250 Ace Mecha Clan would have to cooperate with these teams, so she needed to understand and get familiar with them first.

"This is the regiment commander of the advance mecha team from Ai'er independent army, Cui Yunxuan." Du Mingyi introduced all the people at the table. When he came to an empty seat, he coughed. He wanted to ignore this seat but Ling Lan said, "This should be Lieutenant Colonel Song Yiqing's seat, right?"

Du Mingyi smiled awkwardly. "Lieutenant Colonel Song has a bad temper. However, after he thinks through everything, it'll be fine. Don't worry, Regiment Commander Ling. I will explain to Lieutenant Colonel Song and not let any conflicts happen between the two mecha clans."

Ling Lan glanced at him nonchalantly. "It's alright. Friendly competition is necessary. Let our subordinates have some fun."

Du Mingyi's smile froze. 'Who does he think Song Yiqing is? When he said subordinates, does it mean that he couldn't be bothered to handle Song Yiqing himself? If Song Yiqing was here, he would definitely be furious.' Du Mingyi could imagine the mess Song Yiqing would create if he went berserk. At first, he just wanted to understand 250 Ace Mecha Clan better. Who knew that the situation would turn uncontrollable this quickly? Du Mingyi started to get agitated.

Ling Lan didn't seem to realize what Du Mingyi was thinking. She looked at the next person, Yan Three, who was looking at her thoughtfully. Ling Lan asked, "This is…"

Ling Lan's words woke Du Mingyi up. He quickly continued, "This is the hero of our base. Before you came, his mecha team was the one protecting this base. He is the leader of the Evil Wind Mecha Team, Major Yan Three."

"Oh, so you are the leader of the Evil Wind Mecha Team." Ling Lan smiled coldly. Du Mingyi and Yan Three's heart dropped. 'Is Ling Lan going to settle his grudge against the Evil Wind Mecha Team now?'

"Regiment Commander Ling, I've heard of what the Evil Wind Mecha Team did. Some of the members got too arrogant and went a little overboard. Leader Yan had already reprimanded them. Please forgive them." Du Mingyi protected the Evil Wind Mecha Team. Although they were a bunch of unruly fellows, they still belonged to this base. They were very loyal to this base. This was a trait no other mecha clans in this base had. The other mecha clans were stationed at this base but in times of crisis, no one knew if they could rely on them.

"Based on what you said, the members of the Evil Wind Mecha Team are quite powerful. They just lack in the attitude aspect…" Ling Lan looked at Du Mingyi indifferently. "In that case, I don't mind letting them into my mecha clan to groom them."

The entire canteen turned silent. Everyone's attention was on the chairman's table. The members of the Evil Wind Mecha Team glared at Ling Lan. If their friends didn't stop them, they would have gotten up and scolded Ling Lan.

Yan Three gritted his teeth and looked at Ling Lan sharply. He clenched his fists tightly. He was holding himself back because he knew that acting rashly would just make the situation worse. If not, he might have flipped the table already. At that moment, he felt that compared to this calm Regiment Commander Ling, the arrogant and irritating Song Yiqing who had a powerful background was weak, very weak. This was a perfect manifestation of a vicious character. She wanted to destroy the Evil Wind Mecha Team just because he had provoked her subordinates.

"Regiment Commander Ling, you are good at joking." Du Mingyi forced out a smile.

"Do you think that I'm kidding?" Ling Lan looked at Du Mingyi coldly.

"Regiment Commander Ling, the Evil Wind Mecha Team is our base's team. It will not join 250 Mecha Clan." Du Mingyi's smile disappeared. His tone turned serious. Even if Ling Lan wanted the Evil Wind Mecha Team, he would have to make him agree to it first.

Ling Lan looked at him calmly. "I'm informing you, not asking for your opinion."

Chapter 810: Takeaway!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Ling Lan, you are being too much!" Du Mingyi was furious. He slammed the table and got up.

Ling Lan just looked at him coldly without saying anything. She was not intimidated by his outburst at all. She just disregarded Du Mingyi entirely.

However, Yan Three couldn't take it anymore. He got up and slammed the table with his fist forcefully, causing all the cutlery on the table to clatter and fall to the ground.

Yan Three's eyes were bloodshot. He glared at Ling Lan and shouted angrily, "Regiment Commander Ling, the Evil Wind Mecha Team belongs to Base 013. I will not join any random mecha clan. So, please stop your wistful thinking!"

The Evil Wind Mecha Team was able to enjoy a good time at Base 013 because the commanding officer had been secretly taking care of them. Yan Three was grateful towards the commanding officer because of that, so he couldn't bear to see Ling Lan treating him so disrespectfully.

Ling Lan raised her eyebrows and she slowly got up from her seat. When Li Lanfeng saw that, he came forward and draped the white cloak over Ling Lan's shoulder. Then, he presented her the silver short whip.

Ling Lan pulled the cloak on her shoulders and took the silver short whip. After setting up the atmosphere, she slowly walked towards Yan Three and glanced at him intently. Then, she raised her short whip and knocked on Yan Three's shoulder lightly.

Yan Three frowned. He wanted to flick the whip away. However, Li Lanfeng rushed forward and pressed Yan Three firmly against his chair, making him unable to move.

Ling Lan used her short whip and patted Yan Three's indignant face. She said calmly, "I said I'm informing you, not asking for your opinion. Yan Three, he who understands the times is a wise man. Yan Three, you only have three days. If someone doesn't report to my mecha clan three days later at 8 am, I will let you know the consequences of offending me. Good luck to you."

Ling Lan turned and looked at Du Mingyi. "Senior Colonel Du, looks like no one wants to eat. I will take my leave first."

After she finished speaking, she calmly walked out of the canteen. In the first place, Ling Lan agreed to attend this dinner because she wanted to understand the inner workings of Base 013 better. All the battle teams that were stationed here had their own thoughts. They were like a pile of loose sand. Du Mingyi instilled discord among the battle teams and made them guard against each other so as to protect his position as they couldn't collaborate with each other due to them having their guard up against one another. If the battle teams were unable to unite together, no one would be able to threaten his position. Ling Lan felt that this was the worst method someone could use to consolidate his or her power. If a base was disunited and the people inside didn't trust each other, that base would get destroyed very soon.

The other reason why Du Mingyi was able to sit in his position safely was that he had the Evil Wind Mecha Team, the most powerful mecha team in the base, backing him. From their conversation, she could tell that Yan Three respected Du Mingyi very much. Once someone threatens Du Mingyi's position, Yan Three would be willing to clear all the obstacles for him.

Yan Three was a good knife and the Evil Wind Mecha Team was a good weapon. So, that weapon shouldn't stay in the hands of a useless person and become a tool in the fight for his power. This was why Ling Lan decided to act that way.

She didn't care if Yan Three and the members of the Evil Wind Mecha Team would hate her. Even if they wanted to hate her, they would need to survive the hellish training first. Well, if they could survive it.

As the members of 250 Mecha Clan saw their regiment commander leave from the chairman table, they stood up and walked behind their regiment commanders to the exit of the canteen.

While they were walking, Lin Zhong-qing winked at Qi Long and Luo Lang secretly. The members of the Lingtian Battle Team slowed down and gathered behind everyone. Li Yingjie had sharp eyes so he noticed their little actions. He stayed behind too. 'Damn it, I won't let them leave me out.'

"Why are you winking weirdly at us?" Qi Long asked curiously.

"Do you want to go back on an empty stomach?" Lin Zhong-qing rolled his eyes at Qi Long. He was in charge of the logistics of the mecha clan. Therefore, money was very important to him. He was not willing to fork out another sum of money to pay for dinner today.

Luo Lang shook his head. He didn't like to be hungry.

"What's your plan?" Qi Long's eyes lit up. 'Hehe, I love to be naughty.' It made him feel accomplished.

"Let's go grab some takeaway from the kitchen." Xie Yi clenched his fist excitedly. This was so interesting. If they didn't want to spend on a meal, they should be more creative with their ways of acquisition.

Luo Lang finally understood what was happening. He looked at Lin Zhong-qing in awe. 'As expected of the head of logisticians, he is so smart.'

Li Yingjie was excited too. He rubbed his hands and said, "Let's go quickly. I'm so hungry."

While they rushed to the kitchen to take away some food, Du Mingyi fell on his chair in anger when Ling Lan walked away without giving him any respect for his position.

The people sitting at the table exchanged glances with each other. They didn't know what to do. The person in charge of the canteen was dumbfounded when the main leads of the dinner today left. 'Should he still serve the food or not?'

Without Li Lanfeng's suppression, Yan Three was able to finally move. He panted heavily a few times before managing to control his anger. "Senior colonel, I'm leaving!" He got subdued by an adjutant. 'Who on earth is Ling Lan?' He needed to calm down to think about this situation carefully.

Just like that, Yan Three left with his mecha team.

The lively canteen turned quiet again. The JMCs acting attendants today retreated into a corner in fear. They had forgotten why they were here in the first place. They only had one thought in mind now. 'When will they be able to go back. This place is too frightening.'

Only Lady Mei's eyes were shining. Her heart pounded furiously when she saw Han Xuya bringing a bunch of junior officers out of the cafeteria. 250 Ace Mecha Clan… she must go there. She wanted to be like that lady, an independent lady and not an accessory of a man.

Amidst the silence, a commotion arose in the kitchen. Du Mingyi was looking for a way to vent his anger so he instantly shouted, "Dong Jiahong, come out!"

Dong Jiahong, the person in charge of the canteen, ran out of the kitchen with a sad face. "Senior colonel!"

"Why is it so noisy at the back?"

"Senior colonel, the people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan came and took all the food away…" Dong Jiahong wanted to cry. "They said if we don't give it to them, they will hit us."

They didn't say that… When the people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan entered the kitchen, all the cooks got frightened and kneeled on the ground, conceding their all the food without even a single argument. However, to keep himself safe, Dong Jiahong pushed the blame to the other party.

Chapter 811: Mistake!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Good, good, what a good move!" Du Mingyi was so angry that he started laughing. Crack! The entire table collapsed under the pressure of Du Mingyi's trembling hand.

'Ling Lan, since you are so arrogant, don't blame me for not showing you mercy!' Du Mingyi gritted his teeth. He hated people who had powerful backgrounds. That was why he didn't like Song Yiqing and used him to his advantage without any hesitation. However, now, he hated Ling Lan even more. Hence, he decided that he would not provide them any supplies at all from now on. He wanted to see how arrogant 250 Ace Mecha Clan could be if they didn't have food and weapons.

"Senior colonel, what about today's dinner?" Dong Jiahong asked worriedly. There was no more food. What was he supposed to serve them?

"There is no food left so let's go" Du Mingyi flicked his sleeve and left.

When Du Mingyi left, the other officers knew today's dinner had ended. They shook their heads and left. Of course, they were unhappy at the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Even if he didn't reach a general consensus with the commanding officer, he still shouldn't have taken all their food away.

At the chairman table, Xu Shiming and Cui Yunxuan shook their heads when they saw the mess in front of them.

"You have been watching the show for such a long time. What do you think of the new Regiment Commander Ling?" Cui Yunxuan asked in a low voice.

"This is not someone easy to handle. Senior Colonel Du met a difficult character this time," Xu Shiming replied.

"If he continues what he is doing, Base 013 will eventually be internally destroyed one day. We need a strong character such as him to teach him a lesson." Cui Yunxuan smiled coldly. He didn't like this commanding officer.

"We can't form that conclusion now. This Regiment Commander Ling is just too domineering. He left no leeway for himself, and that is not a good thing. Let's observe him for a while longer." Xu Shiming frowned. He didn't like how Du Mingyi treated the base as his own house but Ling Lan's domineering attitude was not to his liking too. This person took away all the food that was meant to be served to the hardworking and hungry soldiers. He was so hungry that he felt like cursing.

"That's true. We only met him once. We need to understand him further. I hope 250 Ace Mecha Clan is a capable mecha clan. I don't want Base 013 to be the first base to be destroyed by our enemy." 250 Ace Mecha Clan attacked the most powerful mecha team of the base, the Evil Wind Mecha Team, the moment they arrived. If 250 Mecha Clan was not strong enough to protect the base themselves after they had destroyed the Evil Wind Mecha Team, this entire base would be in danger. Cui Yunxuan knew that they were just small characters. They were unable to resist against the advanced weapons of the Hailiya army.

"If the two ace mecha clans stationed at the bases beside us didn't help us, our base would have been destroyed. I believe that by this time, the Hailiya army should have noticed the oddity with our base. We will definitely face a harder time when they attack us again in the near future." Xu Shiming sighed. They were in a dire situation now but their commanding officer was only worried about his position. He felt dejected. He shook his head and put on his military cap.

"The next battle might be our hardest battle. There are too few people in 250 Ace Mecha Clan!" Cui Yunxuan frowned as he sat up and took his military cap from his adjutant.

"Our base is the most dangerous but they still sent a broken mecha clan here…" Xu Shiming smiled bitterly, "I wonder if that problem stems from our commanding officer or is there a problem with the higher authorities."

"You already know the answer. It's because of Du Mingyi." Cui Yunxuan scoffed. 'If he hadn't offended someone he shouldn't, would their base be in such a bad state and have resources be reduced too?'

Xu Shiming patted Cui Yunxuan's shoulder. "Don't be angry. Since we are already here, we have to put in our utmost effort and prepare for the next battle. Let's hope that we will still be able to see each other again." No one knew if they were able to come back alive in the next battle. After Xu Shiming finished speaking, he gathered his men and left. Cui Yunxuan left with his team too. They returned to their respective camps.

The welcoming dinner ended on a bad note but all the officers in the base saw how domineering and powerful 250 Ace Mecha Clan was. Even the heir of the 13th division, Qi Long, was inside it too. Thus, all of them cleverly chose to sit at the side and didn't participate in the feud between Qi Long and Song Yiqing.

On the other hand, the members of Lingtian were carrying their spoils of victory happily back to their camp.

Lin Zhong-qing felt that something was amiss with them. He turned and looked at Li Yingjie's team. The food they were carrying was much more than what his team was carrying. His heart dropped, "Li Yingjie, how much did you take?" Lin Zhong-qing had a bad feeling in his stomach.

Li Yingjie said proudly, "You left most of the food behind. Luckily, I was smart enough to bring all of it with me."

The veins on Lin Zhong-qing's forehead popped. 'They left those behind so that they wouldn't offend the rest of the soldiers at the base. This fellow… he took everything without informing them!'

"Li Yingjie, you bastard! I will kill you!" Lin Zhong-qing rushed up to Li Yingjie and kicked him.

"Hey, what are you doing! Why are you being so unreasonable?" Li Yingjie dodged the attacks with two huge containers in his hand. "Stop kicking me! The food is going to spill out!"

Lin Zhong-qing stopped immediately when he heard that. He looked at the two huge containers of food in Li Yingjie's hand. He couldn't bear to waste them. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I'll let you off for now!" Once they go back to their camp, he would teach this person a lesson.

Li Yingjie still didn't realize he did something stupid. He happily left with his two huge containers of food. Lin Zhong-qing looked at the bastard's back, and he wanted to cry in frustration. 'Sob, did he mess up Boss's plan?'

The thoughtful and thorough Lin Zhong-qing finally made a mistake because of Li Yingjie!

'I should have known, Li Yingjie is my mortal enemy! Nothing good will happen when I am together with him! I must keep my distance from him from now on!' Lin Zhong-qing made a decision quietly.

"Will it be a problem if we offended the commanding officer of the base?" Li Lanfeng asked worriedly when they arrived at their camp.

Ling Lan glanced at him and replied calmly, "As long as we don't bow down to him, he will always try to pull some tricks on us. Rather than wasting effort to scheme against him, it's better to distance ourselves right from the start and lay everything on the table clearly. That way, it won't seem weird if the commotion got bigger."

If the commanding officer of this base was a capable and smart person, she didn't mind following him. But, Du Mingyi didn't have to right to make her bow down to him.

Chapter 812: I'm Hungry!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Li Lanfeng thought for a moment and understood what Ling Lan meant. "I see!"

"This is the frontline of the battlefield so we can't afford to make any mistakes. Unless there is another way, I don't want to make the relationship so strained. Plus, I don't wish that we have to guard our backs when we are fighting for our lives on the battlefield."

Ling Lan's gaze turned vicious, a killing intent flashed passed her eyes. This was the reason she was so domineering today. She hoped that the people in the base would be united and fight their enemies together. She didn't want the people inside to be scheming against each other and fighting for power while ignoring the crisis that is coming towards them.

"I understand." If Du Mingyi would listen to them and prioritize what should be prioritized, they would let him continue his position as the commanding officer of the base. If he dared to play tricks on them… Li Lanfeng gave a cold smile. They would destroy him. He wouldn't allow anyone to spoil his Rabbit's plans.

"Are they back yet?" Ling Lan asked.

Li Lanfeng shook his head. He stayed beside Ling Lan so he didn't know what her friends were doing.

"Based on Lin Zhong-qing's personality, he will go and grab some food for us. I'm hungry," Ling Lan said with frustration. She rarely did something so impressive but she still ended up with an empty stomach. 'Is this a warning by God? Is God telling her that she mustn't be so haughty in the future? It looks like I'm was more suitable to be the main villain. I should keep a lower profile in the future.' To make sure that she was able to lead a stable life, Ling Lan always reminded herself that she was the main villain. She mustn't become those insignificant bosses that other people fought when they were leveling up.

Li Lanfeng sensed Ling Lan's frustration and smiled. He quickly consoled her, "They should be back soon. Let me go out and take a look."

Ling Lan's ear suddenly twitched. "No need. They are back!" As expected of her head of logistics. He knew what his Boss needed. Ling Lan gave Lin Zhong-qing a thumbs up in her mind.

Li Lanfeng wanted to laugh when he saw the cold aura subsiding from Ling Lan's body, revealing a young man with a hint of anticipation on it. 'Ever since Rabbit knew my real identity, he would restrain his force of presence when they were alone together. Isn't this an unexpected gain of the situation?' For the first time, Li Lanfeng felt good about his appearance.

"Boss!" Lin Zhong-qing shouted while carrying a few plates over with a very rare expression of worry on his face.

Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. "What is the matter?" Something must have happened for Lin Zhong-qing to show such an expression. It had to be said that Ling Lan understood her friends well.

"Due to an error in my commands, we took all the food in the kitchen." Lin Zhong-qing lowered his head after putting the plates of food down, waiting for his boss to scold him for his blunder.

"You took everything?" Ling Lan was stunned. 'Fine, they have offended all the officers there. 250 Mecha Clan have become the main antagonist of the base.' She looked at Lin Zhong-qing's guilty face and comforted him, "Nevermind, our plan has already been initiated beautifully so this will not affect anything."

"But the food…" There was too much food. The mecha operators wouldn't be able to finish all of them. Lin Zhong-qing was anxious. He didn't want to waste any of the food.

"Since there is enough food, we can have our own dinner party. Let's enjoy the food together. Let everyone have a taste of the food that was meant to be served for dinner today," Ling Lan replied after some thought.

"Yes, regiment commander!" Lin Zhong-qing answered excitedly. If his logisticians knew about this, they would be exhilarated!

Lin Zhong-qing looked at Ling Lan in admiration. His Boss treated everyone fairly. He didn't ever forget anyone. Even if others looked down on logisticians, his boss didn't. He even took much effort to invent a set of physical skills technique suitable for them so that they could become strong too. Lin Zhong-qing never expected his Boss to treat them so well. He used his own money and let every logistician get their own personal mecha. Their boss even promised them that their mechas would upgrade when their mecha piloting skills improved. Hence, besides the time spent on their work, the logisticians would use the rest of the time to train so that they could become better and stronger.

250 Ace Mecha Clan gave them an opportunity to climb higher. They do not have to stay as a logistician for life. They do not have to admire the mechas that they were not able to get. Only their Boss had the courage and ability to help them realize their dreams.

Lin Zhong-qing had always been interacting with the logisticians so he knew how much the logisticians respected Ling Lan. They had already viewed themselves as a member of 250 Mecha Clan. Even if they became ace mecha masters in the future, they would not move to other mecha clans. This was how charismatic his Boss was. He was able to sway people to follow him and conquer the world with him, with just his actions.

Lin Zhong-qing wanted to leave and tell the logisticians this good news. However, Ling Lan called him before he could ask if he could be excused.

"Zhong-qing, you might need to work harder in the next few days. Try to save as many supplies the base gave us as you can," Ling Lan reminded Lin Zhong-qing that they might meet some troubles in the next few days.

Lin Zhong-qing's gaze turned cold as he understood Ling Lan's words. "Boss, do you mean that the commanding officer would stop giving us food and other supplies?"

"It's impossible he wouldn't do that," Li Lanfeng answered.

Lin Zhong-qing turned serious. "I understand. I will arrange everything."

"I trust you. However, don't be too careful. He will not do things so blatantly. They will think of some reason to shut you up." Ling Lan said calmly, "As long as you are able to find a loophole, you can do anything you want and I will back you up."

Ling Lan was not afraid of whatever obstacles Du Mingyi could throw at her. She would be afraid if he didn't do anything and gave 250 Ace Mecha Clan whatever they want, as it meant that he might give them a lethal blow at a crucial time. Hence, she wished that he would do more obstacles to 250 Ace Mecha Clan so she could get rid of him faster, only then she would feel at ease when she brings her mecha clan out to fight with their enemies.

Lin Zhong-qing smiled. "Yes, I understand. Boss, I will definitely complete this mission."

Ling Lan waved her hand and asked Lin Zhong-qing to go down to prepare for dinner.

After Lin Zhong-qing left, Ling Lan looked at Li Lanfeng, who hadn't moved a single inch, and raised her eyebrows. "Shall we eat together?"

Li Lanfeng touched his chin instinctively. "They should have put my food in the team leader's office." He wanted to eat with his rabbit but he was shy.

"Then go back and eat your food. I will not send you off." Ling Lan originally wasn't planning to share her food with Li Lanfeng. The reason for that was because she had a huge appetite. The amount of food served to her was just enough for her. There was no extra. However, Li Lanfeng served her for the entire day so she couldn't bear to chase him away like that. That was why she decided to be polite for once.

Li Lanfeng gave a bitter smile. He shouldn't have rejected the offer. It was rare for him to have a chance to eat with Rabbit but he missed the chance, so he left the regiment commander's office with some regret in his heart and closed the door behind him. He was afraid that Ling Lan's table manners would scare the people that walked passed the office.

Although there was a dinner party for the entire mecha clan later, they needed to maintain their dining etiquette. They couldn't eat too heartily. In Ling Lan's office, Ling Lan patted her bloated stomach in satisfaction after burping out loud. It was hard to be a regiment commander.

Chapter 813: Didn't Come!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The welcoming dinner ended on a bad note due to Ling Lan's dominance. The next day, the news of 250 Ace Mecha Clan being a domineering and fierce mecha clan spread throughout the entire base. Of course, this news was able to spread so quickly thanks to some certain people.

Everyone was secretly observing the movements of 250 Ace Mecha Clan, as 250 Ace Mecha Clan had offended the three most powerful people in the base. The first person was the Regiment Commander of 224 Mecha Clan as well as a descendant of the Second Marshal, Song Yiqing. The second person was the leader of the unruly and powerful Evil Wind Mecha Team, Yan Three. Even the boss of the base had to bend to their will them sometimes, as they were the aces of the base to protect them from their enemies. All the battle teams were afraid of offending them, as they could just leave them to wolves when the 'wolves' come and attack them. The third person they had offended was the boss of the base, Du Mingyi.

If 250 Ace Mecha Clan wanted to hold power in Base 013, they needed to deal with the retaliation of these three people first.

Du Mingyi could not harm 250 Ace Mecha Clan directly. After all, 250 Ace Mecha Clan was a mecha clan sent by the higher authorities. As the commanding officer of the base, he needed to treat them well. However, Du Mingyi as a narrow-minded person couldn't bear to let them off just like that. Hence, he would definitely pull some tricks behind the scenes. All his actions would be done in secret so nothing could be seen in the short while. Thus, his retaliation was not what everyone in the base wanted to see. They wanted to see what the Evil Wind Mecha Team and Song Yiqing would do.

Many people felt that Song Yiqing would be the first to take revenge on 250 Ace Mecha Clan. However, he surprisingly did nothing as everything seemed calm on his side, surprising many battle teams. They knew Song Yiqing was not someone who accepted defeat easily. Yet, this time, in the face of the heir of the 13th division, Qi Long, he chose to bear with his anger… after everyone took some time to think about his actions, everyone understood why he didn't do anything. He was waiting for the Evil Wind Mecha Team to act first. He wanted to use the Evil Wind Mecha Team to test the 250 Ace Mecha Clan'd depths. He could afford to wait for the Evil Wind Mecha Team but they couldn't as Ling Lan only gave them three days. After the three days, they had to report to 250 Ace Mecha Clan at 8 am.

Song Yiqing was a haughty person but he was not stupid. He knew he should stay low first and let other people test the waters of 250 Ace Mecha Clan.

Just like what Song Yiqing expected, after the members of the Evil Wind Mecha Team came back from the welcoming dinner, they felt extremely uncomfortable. They didn't know what to do. Ling Lan forced them to make a decision. 'Are they going to submit to him or should they retaliate back?'

"Leader, we will not go. Unless we die, we will not leave the Evil Wind Mecha Team!" The mecha operators from the Evil Wind Mecha Team gathered at the training ground and pledged their alliance to Yan Three loudly. They met many life-or-death situations on the battlefield before, making them stubborn and unyielding.

"I'm thinking about what Ling Lan would do to make me regret if we don't go…" Yan Three wouldn't submit to Ling Lan just because of a single sentence. However, he couldn't throw the threat to the back of his mind. Ling Lan was someone who had the heir of the 13th division as his mecha operator so she definitely must have some capabilities. This made him worried.

If he was alone, he was not afraid. He might just be forced out of the military and become a commoner. However, in reality, he had many mecha operators under him. They had a bright future ahead. He couldn't let them suffer just because of his decision.

"He will just force us out of the military. What is so frightening about that? I don't like wars anyway. It's not too bad if I can go back and become a normal worker." The mecha operators were not stupid too. They had considered this possibility before.

"Yes, leader. We made a vow before. We will rather stand and die instead of kneeling to live. We will not go back on our vow even if we have to suffer," one of the mecha operators said what everyone was thinking. 'If they betrayed their belief and lived without meaning, what is the point of living?'

Yan Three looked at his team members intently and saw their firm expressions. He said slowly, "Are you really not afraid?"

"Why should we be afraid? We have been through so many near-death situations on the battlefield. Why will we be afraid of a mere ace mecha clan?" Someone laughed and replied.

Everyone laughed along. Their fearless laughter portrayed their feelings now. They were really not afraid. They were people who struggled to survive on the battlefield. Their lives were clawed back from the brink of death. Nothing was able to threaten them compared to what they had experienced on the battlefield.

"Well, let's not care about that damn 250 Ace Mecha Clan and do what we are supposed to do!" Yan Three waved his hand and made a decision. Even the commanding officer of the base asked him to ignore 250 Ace Mecha Clan so why should he be afraid of them?

The three-day deadline finally ended. Everyone's attention was on 250 Ace Mecha Clan and the Evil Wind Mecha Team. Finally, it was 8 am. The entrance of the two camps was quiet. No one came out, no one went in.

"Looks like the Evil Wind Mecha Team decided to ignore Ling Lan." Cui Yunxuan and Xu Shiming were sitting in the camp of the scouts. They were looking at the information Cui Yunxuan's scouts brought back.

"Isn't this within our expectations? If Yan Three submitted to Ling Lan that easily, he wouldn't be Yan Three." Xu Shiming worked with Yan Three many times. Yan Three had a bad temper but he had the capabilities and morals. Xu Shiming admired this man.

"It's time to see how Regiment Commander Ling will handle this." If Ling Lan didn't subdue the Evil Wind Mecha Team today, he would be embarrassing himself.

Times passed. Yet, there was still no activity within the 250 Ace Mecha Clan camp. Just when everyone was anxious, they heard a loud vibration coming from the two camps.

'What is happening? Let's rewind the time.'

At the regiment commander's office at 250 Ace Mecha Clan camp. The time was before 8 am.

Ling Lan was flipping through some documents. The ten team leaders were already prepared to receive orders. Li Shiyu and his medical team were inside the office too. Luo and Han Xuya wore their white gowns again and waited excitedly for 8 am to arrive.

Finally, it was 8 am. Luo Shaoyun, who was in charge of guarding the entrance, immediately report to Yang Mingzhi that the Evil Wind Mecha Team didn't appear.

"Regiment commander, the Evil Wind Mecha Team didn't come!�� Yang Mingzhi immediately reported to Ling Lan.

Ling Lan stopped flipping the documents. The next second, she closed the file. "As expected, they didn't come."

She stood up. The temporary adjutant for the day, Lin Zhong-qing, quickly draped the white cloak over her shoulders. Just as he was about to pick up the silver short whip, Han Xuya had already rushed forward and brought it to her.

Ling Lan had no choice but to take it. She knocked Han Xuya's forehead. 'This little girl thought that I like to use the whip to punish people.'

Han Xuya touched her head and smiled like an idiot, making Luo Chao felt frustrated. She should have gotten the short whip just now. She missed a chance to interact intimately with her Boss.

Chapter 814: Break The Wall!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ling Lan brought all the team leaders to the wall that separated their camp and the camp of the Evil Wind Mecha Team. All the team members of the 10 teams were waiting there. They rubbed their hands in anticipation as they waited for the command from their regiment commander.

Ling Lan knocked the short whip against her palm. She smiled, and shouted, "Luo Lang!"

"Here, regiment commander." Luo Lang came out excitedly. His beautiful face seemed extremely vibrant today. Many logisticians who came to watch the show got dazzled by his looks.

Suddenly, a piercing flash of lightning flashed past their eyes, instantly blinding them for a moment. When they finally recovered their vision, they saw a calm Xie Yi looking at them intimidatingly. The logisticians immediately lowered their heads in response. They couldn't afford to offend Leader Xie. Of course, they couldn't provoke Leader Luo Lang too. They should just stick to looking at First Lieutenant Luo Chao as it was much safer.

"Well, well, you actually cooperated." The calm-looking Xie Yi was actually not calm at all.

The dark character smiled coldly, ���I don't want you to humiliate yourself in front of so many people. This is my body after all." If he turned into a lump of black coal after releasing that lightning bolt, everyone spectating would have laughed at him.

"If you cooperated with me every time, we would be fine." Xie Yi felt gloomy.

"I'm not happy!" The dark character disappeared after he said his piece.

"Hey, hey, hey…" Xie Yi shouted for a while but no one replied to him. He knew his dark character was ignoring him again. 'That fellow had such a bad temper. It was so difficult to interact with him.'

Ling Lan walked to the wall slowly and patted it with her short whip, it made a dull sound, meaning that the wall was solid the whole way through. Shoddy projects would not happen in the military.

She took two steps back and placed the short whip back in her palm. She smiled. "Luo Lang, break it down for me."

"Yes." Luo Lang rubbed his hands and walked to the wall. Just before he acted, his Boss added, "Fifth level One-Inch Punch. I want the entire wall to be destroyed." 'Why is there a wall in the middle of her camp? I should take it down.' Ling Lan decided to expand the camp of her mecha clan.

Luo Lang's eyes shone brightly as he understood what Ling Lan wanted. His Boss didn't just want the members of the Evil Wind Mecha Team. He wanted to take over their camp too. He liked this idea!

A few team leaders and mecha operators who had a quick mind managed to get what their regiment commander was thinking. They smiled happily. This bunch of experienced soldiers weren't like the new soldiers who had a clear idea of what was right and wrong. They only knew one rule: survival of the fittest. Everything could be settled with strength and power. Ling Lan's brutal and domineering method suited their taste perfectly. They felt that they would never go wrong if they followed their regiment commander. One of the reasons why these mecha operators became useless and developed mental illness was because their past regiment commanders were not powerful enough. They were forced to keep their emotions to themselves so in the end, it twisted their minds.

Luo Lang released his power. It slowly climbed up from the primary stage of Qi-Jin to half a step before the domain stage.

Boom! Luo Lang released his fist. The five waves of Qi-Jin caused the sturdy wall to collapsed instantly. The entire ground vibrated due to the impact, alerting everyone who was in the vicinity.

Qi Long and the other people looked at Luo Lang in envy when they saw how powerful the fifth level of One-Inch Punch was. Ling Lan said, "If you are interested, I can teach you all the fourth level One-Inch Punch." In order to ensure that Luo Lang's One-Inch Punch remained as his personal technique, Ling Lan would only teach her other friends the fourth level One-Inch Punch." If Luo Luo Lang didn't enter the domain stage and show that he could handle the backlash from the fifth level One-Inch Punch now, she wouldn't teach her friends One-Inch Punch at all.

"Thank you, Boss!" Qi Long was so excited he forgot to call Ling Lan their regiment commander.

Lin Zhong-qing took out a small notebook from his pocket. He flipped it open and uncapped his pen. Then, he looked at Qi Long helplessly. "Qi Long, you breached a military rule."

The temporary adjutant had to step in as the military discipline master too. 'I must be impartial!' Lin Zhong-qing apologized to Qi Long in his heart.

"Ah! No!" Qi Long remembered that this was not a personal interaction with his Boss. His Boss had warned them before. He hugged his head in agony and his face turned pale. He could almost imagine the miserable scene when his Boss punishes him later.

Qi Long's exaggerated behavior made the other team leaders and experienced mecha operators smile. Qi Long didn't have the temper of a young master. He was like the mascot of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. These experienced mecha operators hated people with special backgrounds but they were willing to accept Qi Long. They treated him like a junior. This was why Qi Long was able to become the team leader of team 03, not because he was powerful. It was because the experienced mecha operators really loved him and wanted to help him.

Every team leader had their own style, and no one was better than the other. Ling Lan only wanted them to lead their teams well. She didn't care about how they did it. If they were unable to shoulder this responsibility, she wouldn't show any mercy to them too. She would remove them from the position. Fortunately, all her friends didn't embarrass her. Although they were not as good as the three experienced leaders, the difference between them was not too wide, making Ling Lan relieved.

At the camp of the Evil Wind Mecha Team, Yan Three wasn't calm from the moment he woke up early in the morning. He felt worried and uncomfortable.

Although he had decided to ignore Ling Lan's words, he was still anxious. He didn't know what Ling Lan would do to his mecha team.

At that moment, he heard a huge explosion from their camp. He jumped up instantly. "What happened?"

The members of the Evil Wind Mecha Team rushed out of their dormitory. They came to the place where the sound came from and saw a collapsed wall. On their side of the now collapsed wall, a young and beautiful major was dusting his hands calmly. When he saw them coming, he stepped back into the camp of 250 Ace Mecha Clan and looked at them coldly.

"Ling Lan, this is too much!" The moment Yan Three came, he saw Ling Lan standing behind the beautiful major. His heart burned with anger. 'This person has the guts to destroy the wall between their camps.'

Ling Lan glanced at him nonchalantly. She raised her silver ship and slashed it in the air.

The whip made a slashing sound in the air. It seemed like a command. The moment the ten teams behind her heard this sound, they charged towards the members of the Evil Wind Mecha Team.

Li Shiyu stood at the back and looked at his medical team indifferently. "Are you prepared?"

"Yes, leader!" The people in the medical team raised their syringes high in the air. Their eyes were shining with anticipation.

They had new test subjects to play with!

Chapter 815: The Root Of All Evil!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Three was caught off guard but he still reacted correctly to the situation. He quickly pressed the alarm of his camp.

As the alarm rang, members of the Evil Wind Mecha Team instantly rushed over from different parts of the camp. The two groups of people collided, and a fierce battle ensued.

"Ah!" However, the members of the Evil Wind Mecha Team didn't last for long. They started screaming in agony and everyone kept losing their grounds.

Although they had fought in many battles before, they came from all kinds of backgrounds and just learned through their own experiences. Their knowledge of fighting in a battle couldn't be compared with the experienced soldiers who had trained for many years and had been through standardized training. When the two parties collided, the results were lopsided. The members of the Evil Wind Mecha Team were subdued quickly.

The most important factor that contributed to this lopsided result was the 250 Ace Mecha Clan coming prepared for the battle. Moreover, the Evil Wind Mecha Team didn't expect this to happen so they were caught off guard, causing them to get subdued that quickly. If the Evil Wind Mecha Team had time to prepare, they could have resisted for a longer time. However, the end results would still be the same.

Among the many messy battles, Yan Three was in one of them, trying his best to force back a middle-aged man. Before the middle-aged man could attack him again, he charged towards Ling Lan who was standing on the camp of 250 Ace Mecha Clan and was looking at the battle calmly. Yan Three knew his mecha team would have a chance to survive only if he caught Ling Lan.

The middle-aged man wanted to chase after Yan Three but when he saw him rushing towards their regiment commander, he stopped. He instantly turned and dashed towards another person who was fighting with his comrade. Since Yan Three wanted to die, he would not stop him. Only the mecha operators of 250 Ace Mecha Clan knew their regiment commander was a beast. Whoever who offended him would have a terrible time.

Halfway through him dashing towards her, Ling Lan already noticed Yan Three. She looked over and glanced at him coldly. Yan Three was shocked to see Ling Lan had noticed him. He then realized that Ling Lan didn't move at all. She seemed to think that Yan Three was not a threat to him.

'It's good that Ling Lan looks down on me.' Yan Three thought. As long as he subdued Ling Lan, he would be able to turn the tides around and return them the humiliation she had given him. Yan Three's gaze turned cold. He extended his right hand, trying to grab Ling Lan's throat. He wanted to subdue Ling Lan with a single move.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Boom! Yan Three was pressed firmly onto the ground by this person. It was Li Lanfeng. He was already not far away from Ling Lan when he saw Yan Three attacking her. He was immediately furious and blocked Yan Three's attack.

Li Lanfeng choked Yan Three's throat tightly in his fit of anger, almost suffocating Yan Three to death.

Ling Lan walked over slowly. Her military boots stepped on the ground and made a clear tapping sound that traveled through both camps. She tapped Li Lanfeng's shoulder with her short whip. Li Lanfeng released his grip and took a step back.

Ling Lan looked down on Yan Three as though he was a nobody. "Yan Three, you are so stupid that you still don't know you are used by everyone as expendables."

Yan Three glared at Ling Lan with bloodshot eyes. 'What does he mean by everyone was using him? Isn't he the one who was destroying his mecha team?'

Ling Lan knocked the short whip on her palm and pondered for a moment. "Rather than letting you become everyone's tool and dying in their hands without even knowing the reason, why don't you become my guinea pig and let yourself be useful? At least you will not die for nothing." A simple sentence sealed the fate of the Evil Wind Mecha Team.

'Guinea pig?' Yan Three narrowed his eyes. He glanced around his surroundings and saw Li Shiyu and his medical team. He saw the military doctors in white gowns (they were actually logisticians who joined Li Shiyu's medical team temporarily) taking out a syringe and stabbing it into his one of his immobile team members.

That member started howling in pain as he couldn't bear with this excruciating pain. He wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but he realized he didn't even have the energy to do that. He was unable to kill himself. That meant that he had to be tortured to death.

As he was struggling, he saw his leader lying on the ground. He looked at him hopefully. He was not hoping that his leader would save him. Instead, he was hoping that his leader would kill him and end his pain.

The strained veins in Yan Three's eyes showed how indignant he was now. His eyes popped out as he stared at his team member as he was familiar with this person. His name was Peng Jiayuan, a strong man who was not afraid of death. Once, his cockpit was hit by his opponent which got heavily injured. His stomach was slashed by his opponent's mecha, releasing his intestines out. However, even in that kind of situation, he forced himself to stay conscious and stuffed his intestines back into his body, before continuing to operate his mecha until he killed his opponent.

That time, if the military doctor didn't come on time, Peng Jiayuan would have sacrificed himself then. He was a strong man but he still couldn't handle the agent his opponent injected into his body. Yan Three finally understood what Ling Lan meant by guinea pigs. He was planning to let his entire mecha team test the agent they had created.

"Bastard!" Yan Three exploded in anger. He screamed furiously and leaped up from the ground. He wanted to stab this devil in the heart.

Boom! An invisible wall stopped his hand. Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. "You must have not learned to be obedient from your parents."

The minute she finished speaking, she waved her short whip. The short whip formed lingering shadows in the air. Yan Three felt a sharp pain in his chest. His entire body flew out, before slamming hard onto the ground. Blood spurted out of his mouth, staining the ground.

One move and he got seriously injured. Yan Three looked at the cold young officer and he thought of three words: domain realm master.

At this moment, the battle between the two teams had ended. Yan Three heard the leaders of the ten teams reporting to Ling Lan. He felt despair. 250 Ace Mecha Clan acted quickly and viciously. Even if the commanding officer arrived now, it would already be too late. Yan Three didn't believe that his ruthless young man would let them off.

"Are you going to walk into 250 Ace Mecha Clan or do we have to drag you in?" Ling Lan heard the reports of the ten team leaders and went back to Yan Three.

"Evil Wind will never submit to anyone." Yan Three bit his lips forcefully. Blood dripped down his lips.

"Very good. What a strong character. Shiyu, send him off." Ling Lan turned around suddenly and called the military doctor.

Li Shiyu put down what he was doing and walked over slowly. His gentle aura and amiable smile made Yan Three feel that he was a good person. He didn't understand why such a person would appear in this mecha clan which was filled with devils.

Li Shiyu sensed Yan Three's puzzlement and smiled. "My nickname is Dr. Frankenstein."

'Dr. Frankenstein?' Yan Three was stunned. He couldn't understand what Li Shiyu meant.

Li Shiyu took out a miniature syringe. His smile got brighter. "I am also the head of the medical department of 250 Ace Mecha Clan."

Yan Three's eyes widened. He finally understood this seemingly good person was the root of all evils!

As he thought of that, the syringe stabbed through his skin. Yan Three fell backward.
