Chapter 1126 Wait!

"Go and clear up the battlefield then." Ling Lan's tone suddenly turned cold. The gentleness in her voice disappeared.

"Yes, regiment commander!" Yang Mingzhi gripped his sword and flew away. The vicious regiment commander was so scary!

Ling Lan lightly rubbed her temples. "Troublesome."

However, did the First Marshal really think that she would start guarding against the Li family just because of his words? He seemed to be underestimating her. The Lingtian Mecha Clan had left her father's 23rd division, so she didn't have anything to worry about now. If Li Lanfeng really wanted it, she wouldn't mind giving it to him.

She would eventually leave the military in the future. She didn't mind handing Lingtian over to any of the team leaders.

The news of Knight Ace Mecha Clan's crushing defeat was soon passed to the supreme commander of Caesar.

"How is that possible?" The commanding officer couldn't believe this news at all. He had placed all of his hopes on Knight Ace Mecha Clan to capture Base Nebula. Yet, the undefeatable top tier mecha clan suffered an inexcusable defeat.

"Who is it? Who defeated them? Is it Dawn Hell? Ultimate Evil? Graceful Beauty? Emperor Rule? Or The Eight Dragons?" The commanding officer was furious. He quickly listed all the top ten famous mecha clans he was suspicious of..

"No. It's a mecha clan called Lingtian." The commanding officer's secretary's body was shaking. Cold sweat formed on his forehead. Luckily, he still managed to report what he found to his superior.

"Lingtian?" The commanding officer was stunned. The name of this Lingtian Mecha Clan was unfamiliar to him. He opened his mouth and asked, "What is its rank in the Federation?" To annihilate the Knight Ace Mecha Clan, they had to be within the top 15 mecha clans.

"I can't find them but the reports state that it's a newly advanced titled super mecha clan." The secretary wiped his cold sweat and forced a smile on his face. When he read the report, he also felt like it wasn't accurate.

"That's impossible. Are those people trying to fool me? Damn it!" The commanding officer took out his sword from its sheath on his waist and slashed the corner of the table.

"Commanding officer, we shouldn't doubt anyone now. We need to figure out what we need to do now?" The adviser beside him reminded him.

The defeat of the Knight Ace Mecha Clan messed up their plan. However, Caesar still had an advantage on the main battlefield. If they planned properly, they might still have a chance to take over the Nebula Boundary.

"You, sent two of our best mecha clans to take over the position of the Knight Ace Mecha Clan and order them to continue attacking. Don't give the Federation a chance to breathe." The commanding officer calmed down and thought about the next course of action.

"Boss, something is happening on Caesar's starship." The moment Caesar acted, Little Four noticed. He quickly informed his boss.

"Huh?" Ling Lan looked up at him.

"Caesar is planning to move all their forces to the frontline. They are also sending two mecha clans to take over Knight Ace Mecha Clan's position." Little Four looked at the 200 mecha operators from Knight Ace who were still fighting to survive. Their other comrades had already turned into ruins in space. He started pitying the commanding officer of Caesar as his actions would cause the annihilation of two more mecha clans.

"Hurry up and clear the battlefield. Two more big fishes are coming in," Ling Lan opened her channel and said calmly.

The team leaders and deputy leaders, who were watching at the side, took up their weapons and started clearing up the remaining opponents who were supposed to be practice dummies for the newer mecha operators.

"Head, shall we send the rescue team?" Luo Chao's deputy looked at the battlefield and noticed that the fight was coming to an end. However, his head still hadn't given any orders.

"There's no hurry." Luo Chao waved her hands calmly. She stopped her deputy who wanted to persuade her. "Let's wait for a while."

The deputy wanted to push his opinion further. If they didn't send the rescue team now, they wouldn't be able to save the mecha operators in time. If that happened, his head would be punished seriously.

Although Luo Chao was their regiment commander's fiancée, their regiment commander still punished her equally if she made any mistakes. He might be even stricter on his fiancée. He had chatted with his friends before and said that it was better to not be their regiment commander's fiancée.

"Weird, why hasn't Luo Chao sent in the rescue team?"

Li Jinghong and Lin Zhong-qing were looking at the battle between Lingtian and Knight Ace Mecha Clan from the command center of the Lingtian camping ground. They were puzzled too when they saw Luo Chao not doing anything after the battlefield was clearing up.

"Zhong-qing, shall we remind her?" Yuan Youyun suggested.

They went to school with Luo Chao and Han Xuya. Compared to Lin Zhong-qing and Luo Lang, they spent five more years with them. Their relationship was closer so they couldn't bear to see her making mistakes.

Lin Zhong-qing glanced at him. He seemed unhappy as he said, "Have you seen Luo Chao making any mistakes during important events?"

Everyone thought for a moment. They realized that Luo Chao was mostly punished because of her physical skills. For example, she wasn't able to finish the training Boss had planned for them. As for the executing the orders Boss gave her, she never made any mistakes in that aspect.

"Why hadn't she sent in the rescue team yet? Isn't she clearly making a mistake?"

"What happened to your intelligence?" Lin Zhong-qing was speechless. "Honestly, if someone makes mistakes, it will be you all, not Luo Chao and Han Xuya."

Lin Zhong-qing was extremely irritating when he wished to be.

Of course, only the higher authorities of Lingtian knew about this. Other people only knew Lin Zhong-qing as a strict but kind and gentle head.

Lin Zhong-qing smiled coldly when he saw the annoyance on everyone's face. "You believe me? The only reason why she didn't move is that she received an order from Boss."

"In that case, why didn't Boss inform us?" Li Jinghong was unwilling to give up.

"Our mission is to control the internal workings of the base. Why would Boss inform us about what's happening on the battlefield?" Lin Zhong-qing rebutted, "The answer will be revealed soon. Let's sit quietly and watch."

"Okay." Li Jinghong and the others sighed. Why weren't they as calm as Lin Zhong-qing?

They sat down quietly and watched the screen. They saw the people from Lingtian killing the last dregs of Knight Ace Mecha Clan. The mecha operators, who were doing anything, quickly cleared up the battlefield. If they saw a dying comrade, they would bring them into their cockpit. If they saw a surviving enemy, they would give them another stab.

Chapter 1127 Survivor!

When the last enemy was killed, every mecha operator started clearing up the battlefield. All the team leaders brought their team members to different areas and started to camouflage themselves. They disappeared from the screen.

"The chameleon system." The people at the base shouted excitedly when they saw close to 2000 mechas disappearing into the vast space.

The chameleon system was able to camouflage the mechas to their surroundings. It was the perfect assasination system. However, this system was expensive and difficult to produce. Only those mechas with special mission would require to have such a system installed. Other types of mechas had no affinity with this system.

The more powerful the titled super mecha clan was, the better their equipment they had. It was said that only the top ten legendary mecha clans in the Federation had such a system installed in all their ace mechas. Moreover, only these mecha clans would have the right to own such powerful mechas too.

Of course, these were all just rumours. No one knew if they were true. They thought that they would only be able to see such an ambush in their dreams. Yet, it was happening right in front of their eyes.

'Is Lingtian actually a legendary mecha clan in disguise?' Almost everyone thought about this possibility.

They continued staring at the screen in anticipation even though they didn't know why Lingtian suddenly hid.

Just like that, the screen remained empty for three minutes. Only some broken ruins of mechas flew past the screen once in a while.

Just as the soldiers at the base thought that their eyes were going to roll out from their skulls, they suddenly saw numerous mechas appearing from the other end of the screen.

"It's Caesar." The hearts of all the audience started pounding furiously. From the small dots on the screen, they could tell that there were more mechas than the last battle. Lingtian had just ended a battle. Would they be able to handle another frightening attack?

If the two parties collided, Lingtian would be the one being surrounded.

The tides of war had now changed. Before this, Lingtian surrounded the Knight Ace Mecha Clan. Now, they were the ones in a predicament.

By now, all the soldiers in the base understood why the mecha operators of Lingtian activated their chameleon system.

Finally, the two mecha clans from Caesar entered the area where the battle happened a moment ago. They were shocked to see the ruins of Caesar mechas floating in the empty space.

"Knight Ace Mecha Clan didn't manage to last until our arrival?" One of the regiment commanders was flabbergasted.

"The battle should have just ended," another regiment commander looked at the spiking thermal radar and said

"How long approximately?" These two regiment commanders had worked together many times so they knew what each other's abilities were. They trusted each other deeply.

"Not more than ten minutes ago." The regiment commander replied after analyzing the thermal radar.

"They're lucky. They left before we came," the regiment commander who spoke first said with frustration. "Roland, do you think Knights gave up resisting and were taken as prisoners or were they..."

He wasn't able to say the word 'annihilated'.

"I hope that they were taken as prisoners, Doren," Roland replied.

"Why?" Doren was puzzled.

"That means that we won't be in danger. The other party must have retreated since they have so many prisoners. But, if they really got... we must run away now." Roland was serious.

If Lingtian Mecha Clan was able to defeat the Knight Ace Mecha Clan within such a short time, they must be really powerful. Not a single mecha was able to escape, including their regiment commander who was chosen as one of hundred mecha operators with the highest potential to advance to god-class.

They were already not as strong as the Knight Ace Mecha Clan. If they remained behind, what results could they achieve?

Regiment Commander Doren was thinking about the same thing. He shivered. "Shall we retreat?"

This place was too quiet. It scared him.

"Since we're here, we need to search carefully to check if there are any survivors. If not, we will be treated as cowards when we go back." Roland didn't expect this mission to be so troublesome. He thought that they were only here to reinforce the Knight Ace Mecha Clan but instead, they were here to collect their corpses.

"Okay. Let's search the area quickly and look for survivors." Just as Doren was about to give his command, Roland shouted, "Wait."

Doren got nervous. "What's wrong?"

"Send three mecha teams to search the area first. If nothing happens to them, we'll send the rest of our mecha clan." Roland was a cautious person. Before he understood the entire situation, he would not allow his clan to go forward.

"Okay. I'll listen to you." Doren felt that this arrangement was more appropriate too.

Soon, six mecha teams started searching the area in six different directions. Not longer after, they really managed to find survivors.

"Regiment commander, we found survivors." The search party was extremely excited.

Roland got nervous when he heard this. He quickly asked Doren to be on his guard and asked his men to prepare for battle at any moment.

Then, he ordered the search party to bring the survivors back.

"Regiment commander, we found four survivors." They showed the broken cockpits in their hands. They said, "However, we have too few people. We can't go deeper. There should be more survivors deeper in."

Roland grabbed his giant sword tightly, but his tone remained calm as he replied, "Team 45 will be in charge of searching for survivors. You all will follow me."

"Yes." The search party left again.

This happened a couple more times, and finally around ten survivors were found in total. However, since the search party was very small, they only managed to search a small portion of the battlefield.

"Roland, we can't continue like this. It will take more than half a day to search the entire battlefield. This is the Nebula Boundary. We can't stay here for too long. It's too dangerous here." Base Nebula wasn't far away from them. If the main battle didn't take most of the attention of Base Nebula, they wouldn't dare to stay here for so long.

Nothing happened after so many attempts, so Roland started to wonder if he was being too cautious. He thought for a moment and decided to hasten the speed of the search to prevent any changes from happening.

Hence, Roland and Doren sent all their mecha operators into the battlefield to search for survivors.

Chapter 1128 Analysis!

Around 500 mecha operators started to spread out and search for survivors.

Strangely, the closer they got towards Base Nebula, the fewer the survivors they found. The number of survivors found by two whole mecha clans was fewer than the number of survivors found by the three mecha teams.

Roland frowned when he saw this odd situation. He felt that something was amiss. He started to feel agitated.

Suddenly, he thought of something. He quickly switched to the public channel of the two mecha clans and asked, "Did you find any survivors from the Federation just now?"

The three leaders of the mecha teams replied, "No. We only found our men."

Roland's expression quickly changed. He shouted instantly, "Retreat! We got fooled."

The mecha operators from the two mecha clans were stunned when they heard this. Suddenly, the space around them started distorting and numerous mechas appeared out of nowhere.

"The Federation!" The mecha operators were only able to shout this sentence before they got stabbed by swords.

Numerous mecha operators were killed instantly. The sudden ambush flustered the mecha operators from Caesar. They didn't know what to do.

All the team leaders were shouting for their team members to reunite.

Before this, they were split up to cover more areas, so they were currently no match for an organised team. Every part of the space was filled with a leader of a team and his deputy. They were all either imperial mecha operators or pseudo imperial operators. Even the weaker ones were peak level ace mecha masters.

Their team members were all peak-level ace mecha masters too. Under the leadership of their leaders, they attacked the unprepared Caesar mecha operators ferociously like wild beasts.

"They... are so vicious." Yu Huan's expression constantly changed from the moment he saw Lingtian fighting with Knight Ace. He was shocked and stunned. When he saw Lingtian continuing to fight with two more mecha clans after annihilating one mecha clan, he didn't know what to say anymore.

"I always thought that he was just a talent the military wanted to groom. I was worried that he was too young that he might make mistakes. That was why I didn't let him be the commander-in-chief immediately. When he requested to fight with Knight Ace Mecha Clan, I thought that he was being reckless and hot-blooded. Now, it seems like I was the one who underestimated them."

Yu Huan gave a bitter smile. He looked at the mecha that was standing upright among all the shining stars in space. The mecha waved its sword lightly and the other mechas would start killing their enemies ruthlessly as though they were given a command.

They were ruthless. They only had one aim: The cockpit. They had no intention of leaving any survivors.

Such an act shouldn't have happened. The battlefield was brutal and there was no mercy but most nations still had a Humanitarian Agreement. Once the result of the battle was decided, the other party shouldn't kill their opponents anymore. They must first ask their opponents to surrender. If their opponents didn't want to surrender, they could then kill them.

Of course, if it was a life-or-death situation, such a matter wouldn't exist. For instance, Twilight would never hold back whenever it fought with the Federation. However, this grudge subsided a little after General Ling Xiao came back alive.

They weren't talents groomed by the Federation. They were devils released by the military. Yu Huan searched for the order he received again. He blankly stared at the order.

In charge of the safety of the planetary sector? He started analyzing this order carefully.

Did this mean that the military had already given them the rights of command but to fool Caesar, they didn't state it clearly?

Yu Huan didn't think that this was an assessment for Lingtian but based on their current strength, no mecha clan in Base Nebula could fight on par with it, not even Proud Wind Mecha Clan.

If Lingtian wanted to gain the right of command, they just needed to ask the regiment commanders of the other mecha clans for a mecha battle. However, they didn't. They chose to stay in their camping ground and pass the four months calmly.

Were they not interested in the title of top mecha clan? Or was their regiment commander not interested in the position of a commander-in-chief? He had only seen Ling Lan once. He was in a daze the whole time and he almost ignored him. But, the sudden change in his aura towards the end and the cold and dangerous gaze allowed him to know that this wasn't someone indifferent to fame and wealth. He was someone who would get what he wanted.

That meant that there must be a reason why this ambitious person gave up the position of commander-in-chief.

"Is he trying to hide his capabilities? He probably doesn't trust the security of the base." Yu Huan seemed to understand something. He recalled how they were always at the losing end in their battle against Caesar. He and Ke Yufeng thought of many schemes but they always failed at the crucial moment.

"Did someone from Caesar manage to infiltrate the base?" Yu Huan frowned. He was frustrated. As the commanding officer of the base for more than ten years, he had already treated Base Nebula as his home. All the soldiers in the base were his family. Yet, someone among them was a spy. It was hard for him to accept this.

Most importantly, he didn't realize this problem at all. He needed someone who just came to the base to remind him of the possibility of a spy using his actions.

"The military probably have realized this problem so they sent Lingtian to control the situation." Yu Huan could only comfort himself this way. There were many advisers in the military. It
