Chapter 896: The Start Of The Final Attack!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Three was able to recover quickly because of the 250 Ace Mecha Clan's brutal training program. The training program was done based on Ling Lan's order, so Yan Three had complicated feelings towards Ling Lan. He was grateful towards her but he hated her too. Yet, he willingly bowed down to her. Similarly, he didn't believe that Ling Lan would sit and wait for death. In the battlefield where there were millions of soldiers, their Evil Wind was like a speck of dust in comparison. However, he still wanted to contribute his efforts and his team's efforts to help Ling Lan.

After Song Yiqing and Yan Three left, everyone from the mecha clans in Base 013 left quietly too. They had followed Ling Lan from the time she took over the base until now. Since they had worked hard all these while, why couldn't they continue to persevere for the last part of the journey? Just like what Song Yiqing had said, even if they were to die, they must die spectacularly on the battlefield. It was better than being stuck at the base and feeling like a caged animal.

Soon, everyone left the command center with differing thoughts.

Time passed slowly. Outside Base 013, the Hailiyan army was still gathering. There were now more than 50 times the amount of soldiers than how much Base 013 had. Based on their speed on gathering, their numbers would soon become frightening.

The regiment commanders that got motivated by Song Yiqing and Yan Three felt hopeless again when they saw this. The vast difference in military strength wouldn't allow them to win even if they sent all their mecha operators out.

Even Song Yiqing, Yan Three, soldiers from the 250 Ace Mecha Clan, and Xu Shiming's scouts team got dumbstruck by the size of Hailiya's army. They didn't plan to give Base 013 any chances.

'Are we really unable to wait until the reinforcements arrive?'

When more than 80 times the military strength of Base 013 appeared on the Hailiya's side, the final war started.

Numerous mecha operators and powerful weapons struck the protective shield of Base 013.

All the soldiers just stared blankly at the protective shield. They were in awe when they saw the beauty of the continuous explosions coming their way.

"Damn it. We really can't go out now. If I knew this would happen, I would have gone out long ago. It's better than waiting for death here." The people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan and Evil Wind sat in the mecha hold dejectedly. They wanted to go out long ago. No matter what happened to them, they would try to find someone to go to hell with them.

"Beep beep beep! The energy reserves of the protective shield has been depleted by 20%." The continuous attack on the protective shield had already depleted 20% of the energy reserves. If they couldn't replenish the energy reserves, the protective shield would only be able to last another one to two minutes.

Lin Zhong-qing was at the core of the protective shield. He quickly ordered the well-prepared logisticians, "Replenish the energy reserves."

"Yes!" Multiple logisticians started replenishing energy storage units into the energy belt that was a few thousand meters in length. These were the high-efficiency energy storage units 250 Mecha Clan had transported over when they first came over to Planet Haijiao. Lin Zhong-qing never used them before this occasion because he was preparing for moments like this. Only these high-efficiency energy storage units were able to quickly replenish this enormous energy drainage.

When he saw the energy reserve of the protective shield rising above 90%, Lin Zhong-qing heaved a sigh of relief. They were fighting for time with their enemies. Were their enemies faster in depleting the energy reserves of the protective shield or were they quicker in replenishing its energy reserves?

Li Jinghong and the other leaders led a team of transport logisticians and transported all the energy storage units into the core. They placed the energy storage unit beside the logisticians that were putting the energy storage units into the energy belt. At the same time, they took away all the empty energy storage units.

The work in the core of the protective shield carried on smoothly and orderly, as Lin Zhong-qing had prepared a long time for this battle. All the logisticians who participated in this mission had one week to practice their roles. They performed drills every day. Now, it was time for the real deal.

Ling Lan stood in the command center and looked at the continuous attacks on the protective shield. She walked to the full-length window and looked up. She could no longer see the blue sky anymore, as flames and smoke filled the sky above her. The sound of explosions could be heard from her office too. The impact of these explosions could be blocked by the protective shield but the people in the base still felt the strong vibrations. This showed how heavily Hailiya was attacking them.

"It seemed like our reinforcements have entered Planet Haijiao's atmosphere," Ling Lan said.

This could only be the reason why Hailiya was attacking them crazily. They needed to destroy all the Federation's bases left on Planet Haijiao and make Planet Haijiao theirs before reinforcements could arrive. That way, Hailiya could send out their god-class operators blatantly and destroy the now invaders.

"The firepower is getting stronger. I wonder if Lin Zhong-qing is able to handle it." Li Lanfeng was worried. He hoped that Lin Zhong-qing was able to last for a longer period of time. He also hoped that their reinforcements could come faster.

On the other side, Han Jijyun's expression was calm and cold like the first winter breeze, but his heart was going through some inner turmoil.

"If the speed of replenishing slows down by 50%, Lin Zhong-qing will report to me." Ling Lan appeared resolute, as she had decided that she would use the amulet her father gave her if that happened.

Han Jijyun and Li Lanfeng got even more worried when they heard this. They knew what this meant. However, they didn't want Ling Lan to use the amulet General Ling Xiao gave him.

The continuous bombardment continued for 15 more minutes. Hailiya finally realized that the protective shield of Base 013 didn't have a single dent after all that. Not only that, the glow of the protective shield was as bright as ever. The commander-in-chief of the east zone of Hailiya frowned. From the information he had received, he knew that the remaining bases in the central and west regions were all destroyed. Base 013 was the only base left.

"What are you all doing? Increase the intensity of the attack, We must destroy the protective shield of the base." The commanding officer of the east region got agitated. Up in the air, the fleet from Hailiya had already started fighting with the Federation army. If they couldn't flatten Base 013, they wouldn't be able to use their god-class operators.

At this moment, a small starship that was hiding among the stars sneaked through the messy battlefield and closed in on Planet Haijiao.

"Release the miniature satellites." Brain One threw a few miniature satellites out. Then, he controlled the satellite and moved them towards the orbit of Planet Haijiao.

This starship belonged to the Flying Dragon Special Forces. They made use of the chance when Hailiyan fleet was distracted by Qi Yaoyang's fleet to start their plan.

If they wanted to save the surviving bases, they needed to know where they were.

Chapter 897: Is It Appropriate?

On the starship, everyone was nervous as they watched the satellites entering Planet Haijiao's orbit. The gravitational pull of the Planet Haijiao was very high, so it was hard for the miniature satellite to resist the pull as they didn't have strong engines in them. The reason why they didn't use a normal sized satellite because they were afraid that the Hailiya army would notice the satellites if they were too large.

Around 20 minutes later, the miniature satellite finally entered the orbit of Planet Haijiao. The people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces finally heaved a sigh of relief. They were halfway to success.

Brain One activated the miniature satellite. He looked nervously at the images that were jumping on the screen. For the first time, he felt that the activation speed of these miniature satellites was too slow.

The Hailiyan army had received the order from their commander. They attacked Base 013 together and used their most powerful weapons to strike the protective shield.

"Beep beep beep, the energy reserves of the protective shield had depleted by 30%. 40%. 50%. Alert, alert..." The mainframe sounded the alarm.

Lin Zhong-qing shouted sternly, "Change shifts and increase the replenishing speed."

The logisticians who were waiting for their shifts quickly took over their comrades' position and started putting the energy storage units into the energy belts furiously. Those logisticians who were off their shift still helped out by taking out the empty energy storage units. This efficient cooperation allowed the energy reserves of the protective shield to maintain at around 50%.

The high intensity of the job tired people out easily. Hence, Lin Zhong-qing remembered to prepare more people to take over the shifts.

When the energy reserves of the protective shield reached 50%, the alarm sounded throughout the base. The people from Lingtian who were busy with their work suddenly stopped working.

"Is that finally going to appear?" Chang Xinyuan looked at the mecha hold and muttered to himself.

"What's going to appear?" Chen Yi'an, who was maintaining a mecha, looked up and asked curiously.

"That's none of your business. Hurry up and do your work. Those mecha operators are still waiting to board their mechas to kill our enemies." Chang Xinyuan didn't reply to him. Instead, he asked the mecha engineers to hasten their pace.

The mecha engineers didn't know why their leader said this. All the mecha operators were stuck at the mecha hold. They couldn't go out. However, the naive mecha engineers still worked faster.

When no one was looking at him, Chang Xinyuan sneaked into the mecha hold and walked to the portion of the mecha hold for 250 Ace Mecha Clan. He walked to the front of a huge unopened container.

A man in white gown was standing there. He looked at the container intently as though he was wondering what was inside.

"You are here." Chang Xinyuan wasn't surprised by his appearance. If Boss wanted to use the thing inside the container, she needed Li Shiyu's agent.

"You're here." Li Shiyu seemed to be expecting him too. If Chang Xinyuan didn't come at this time, he wouldn't be Chang Xinyuan anymore.

"Does Boss have to use this thing?" Chang Xinyuan appeared serious.

"The energy reserves of the protective shield is maintained at 50% with Lin Zhong-qing doing his best," Li Shiyu didn't seem to be answering his question. "Hailiya have gathered more soldiers, so the next round of attack will be even worse. There is not much energy storage units left in the base, so we must help to lessen their burden."

"Can't we hold on a while longer?" Chang Xinyuan knew what the price their boss had to pay if he used this thing. He really didn't wish their Boss would use this thing.

"Have you ever seen Boss betting our fates on luck?" Li Shiyu smiled bitterly. If he had the choice, he would disagree with his Boss's decision too. However, his disagreement wouldn't affect anything.

Chang Xinyuan became silent. He felt touched and helpless. This was why they followed their Boss so willingly. This was why they would hate themselves for being too weak. They were unable to help their Boss in the moment when she needed them the most.

At the command center, Ling Lan heard the alarm and turned serious. She stood up and looked at Li Lanfeng and Han Jijyun. "I'll hand this place over to you two."

"Have you decided?" Li Lanfeng grabbed Ling Lan's hand. He lost control of his emotions.

Ling Lan nodded. "I won't place all my hopes on the reinforcements. Since my father dared to go against the world to give it to me to protect me, I mustn't disappoint him. I believe that I'll bring you all home."

"Boss, you must keep your promise." Han Jijyun stood up with red eyes. Even if their Boss used that thing, he would be in extreme danger if he went out to the battlefield now. He was operating a mecha which was at a higher level than her too. No one could predict the results.

"I will," Ling Lan replied sternly. She wasn't going to seek death. She was going to protect everyone.

"Don't worry." Ling Lan broke free from Li Lanfeng's grip and walked out of the command center without turning back even once. From this moment onwards, she wasn't a commanding officer. She was a soldier who wanted to protect her comrades.

Li Lanfeng looked at Ling Lan as she disappeared. He looked up and swallowed his anger and bitterness. In the end, he could only watch his Rabbit fighting alone. There was nothing he could do. How could someone as weak as he talks about changing his destiny? What a joke.

Li Lanfeng scoffed as he jeered himself.

Han Jijyun was astounded when he noticed that the forever calm Li Lanfeng had lost control of his emotions.

"Li Lanfeng, calm down. Boss will definitely come back alive. He always does what he says." To Han Jijyun, Ling Lan was an invincible person. This was the image Ling Lan had created in their minds. Hence, he couldn't understand why Li Lanfeng was emotional. This battle might be dangerous but someone as powerful as their Boss would definitely be able to overcome everything and hold on until reinforcements would arrive.

"I know. I just hate myself for being too weak. If I'm as powerful as him, I can take his place and not have to watch him fighting alone." Li Lanfeng spoke his true thoughts.

Han Jijyun's expression changed when he heard this. He had never thought of being on par with his Boss. He just wondered how he could perform his role in the team more perfectly. Han Jijyun looked at Li Lanfeng intently. 'Is this why I am not as good as Li Lanfeng?'

'However, is it appropriate for Li Lanfeng to want to be as strong as Boss?' Han Jijyun couldn't understand what Li Lanfeng was thinking. He felt that Li Lanfeng's thoughts were too hard to comprehend. 'Does Li Lanfeng just want to become a good comrade of their Boss or does he have other intentions?' A shadow appeared in Han Jijyun's heart.

"Han Jijyun, show what's happening at the ejection port on all the screens in the base," Li Lanfeng ordered after he calmed down.

Chapter 898: Appearance Of [Belief]

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"Huh?" Han Jijyun was still immersed in his thoughts so he was surprised when Li Lanfeng suddenly gave him an unexpected order.

"I want everyone who is still alive in this base to know who is risking his life to save them! I want them to know who is fighting for them! The things our regiment commander does cannot go unnoticed." Li Lanfeng's eyes were burning with ambition. He must let everyone know who their savior was. It wasn't the reinforcements, it was the commanding officer of Base 013, the regiment commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan, the leader of the Lingtian Battle Team, Ling Lan.

Han Jijyun felt his heart trembling. "Yes, I understand." Indeed, they couldn't let their Boss efforts go unnoticed.

Hence, all the screens in the base started showing the quiet ejection port instead of their enemies outside.

Just as everyone thought that the mainframe was malfunctioning because too much energy had been depleted from the protective shield, the ejection port started turning on.

"Huh, what's happening? We are not allowed to go out, right? Why is the ejection port turning on?" The mecha operators waiting in the mecha hold started creating a commotion. They made an application to go out but the JMCs rejected them because the commanding officer didn't allow anyone to enter the battlefield. The mecha engineers also ignored their request to equip their mechas so they could only wait in the mecha hold in frustration.

After Ling Lan left the command center, she arrived at the mecha hold in an instant. She saw Chang Xinyuan and Li Shiyu in front of the huge container. "I was expecting the two of you to be here."

Li Shiyu took out 10 agents and passed them to Ling Lan. "My brother asked me to pass you this." Three days ago, Li Lanfeng came to find him to pass Li Shiyu back the agents he gave him. At the same time, he asked Li Shiyu to prepare the agents he left for himself. He told him that Ling Lan might have a need for it in the next few days. Just like what he said, Ling Lan needed it now.

Ling Lan took the ten agents. As expected, Li Lanfeng knew her well. Even if he didn't approve of her decision, he still prepared everything for her.

Chang Xinyuan took out the control keys he carried with him and aimed the keys at the container. The container split up and revealed a huge mecha. It had been lying quietly in the container for all these months. No one knew that there was a frightening ultimate weapon hidden within the mecha hold of Base 013.

"[Belief], sorry to keep you waiting," Ling Lan said quietly to the mecha.

The mecha suddenly woke up from its sleep. Its eyes turned blue as it sat up instantly. It turned around and looked at Ling Lan. A robotic voice was heard, "Ling Lan, nice to meet you."

"I'll have to invite you to fight with me this time," Ling Lan said sincerely. Ling Four said that the mainframe of a god-class mecha was different from every other mecha. They were not just numbers and data. They had the ability to think, so they could be considered as intelligent entities.

"I understand. General Ling Xiao asked me to cooperate with you. Please don't worry." [Belief] opened its cockpit automatically.

Ling Lan entered the cockpit. Li Shiyu shouted quickly, "Boss, one agent can only last for one minute. With your ten additional agents, you can last for a total of 20 minutes. Don't forget about this." The backlash from a god-class mecha was so strong that even one nuwa agent couldn't help her to last longer than one minute.

"I know." Ling Lan touched the nine agents in her pockets. She had diluted one of the agents and made it into ten agents to pass to her team leaders so that they could use it whenever they faced an emergency. However, Li Shiyu didn't know about this.

Actually, with her capabilities, she was able to operate [Belief] for five minutes. This was the main reason why her father dared to pass [Belief] to her. In order to hide the fact that [Belief] was with her, she had no choice but to let her men ran a marathon. She placed [Belief] among the transport vehicles, and it was successfully transported to Base 013 along with the other ace mechas.

This god-class mecha was the reason why Ling Xiao believed that Ling Lan was able to last until the reinforcements arrive. He announced that Ling Lan was his son too because once Ling Lan operated [Belief], this fact would be exposed anyway. In that case, why not take the initiative to announce this fact and
