Chapter 1137 - Proud!
Chapter 1137 Proud!
The person who called out Ling Lan was Lin Yang, the regiment commander of the Slaughter Mecha Clan. In the recent battle, he was the commander of the frontline army. He thought that they would lose but the arrival of Lingtian changed the outcome of the battle.
After returning to the base, he heard that Lingtian had annihilated the Knight Ace Mecha Clan as well as two more ace mecha clans before coming to the main battlefield. Within such a short time, they went through four rounds of intense battle. A normal mecha operator would have broken down from the high intensity, but none of the mecha operators from Lingtian seemed to have been affected.
Lin Yang was amazed by the willpower of the mecha operators in Lintian. He couldn’t help but think of the hellish training he saw when he visited them. Was it really effective? Should he follow in their way?
Right after he arrived back to the base, he received a notice from Yu Huan informing him of a meeting for all the regiment commanders in the base. Lin Yang came very early for the meeting. He knew that in this meeting, Yu Huan would be giving the commanding power of the base to Ling Lan, and he was happy to see this. He was fully convinced of Lingtian’s strength and Ling Lan commanding capability.
Since he was early, he started chatting with a few regiment commanders he was familiar with. Of course, their conversation revolved around Lingtian and their regiment commander, Ling Lan. After talking for a short while, Ling Lan arrived.
Lin Yang rushed towards Ling Lan and said sincerely, “Regiment Commander Ling, I was too brash in the past. Please forgive me.”
“That’s nothing. I welcome you to visit my mecha clan any time.” Ling Lan replied calmly, “This is my mecha clan’s style.”
Ling Lan’s tone was indifferent but her unconcerned attitude was obvious.
Lin Yang immediately smiled. He was elated. “Of course. Please take care of us in the future.”
Ling Lan nodded and acknowledged him. After that, the atmosphere in the command center turned lively as all the other regiment commanders came up to introduce themselves to Ling Lan.
Ling Lan calmly nodded at every one of them to acknowledge their existence. She didn’t say anything but the seriousness in her eyes made everyone feel respected. The entire command center turned noisy.
Li Lanfeng looked at his regiment commander with admiration. Yes, this was his regiment commander. He seemed cold but a simple acknowledgement from him would create huge results. This was something he could never achieve in his lifetime.
Sometimes, Li Lanfeng was puzzled. Ling Lan’s force of presence was strong and his way of doing things was domineering. He was vicious, ruthless, and cold towards people. Yet, it was hard to dislike him. Unconsciously, people would be convinced by him.
Was this the aura of a king?
Li Lanfeng smiled bitterly. He started to recall what had happened around Ling Lan. It was obvious that Ling Lan was a king. He sighed. He basically walked towards his Phoenix Thrall Fate.
Changing his destiny? If he had controlled his feelings and not got tempted by it, the Phoenix Thrall Fate would have nothing to do with him, but it was just too hard…
Nothing to do with him! Li Lanfeng felt his heart throbbing when he thought of this.
Let’s not think about it!
Li Lanfeng forced himself to stop thinking. He wouldn’t be able to control himself if he continued. He would not only destroy himself, but he would also harm the person he loved dearly.
“Regiment Commander Ling, you’re already here.” A familiar voice woke Li Lanfeng up from his stupor.
Yu Huan appeared in the command center.
“Commander Yu, nice to meet you.” Ling Lan nodded.
“Since you’re here, shall we gather in the meeting room?” Yu Huan said to all the regiment commanders.
Everyone nodded. They knew why they were all gathered here.
Soon, they moved to the meeting room. Everyone found a seat for himself.
Yu Huan let Ling Lan sit on his left. Ling Lan glanced at him and said, “Thank you.”
She sat down naturally. Li Lanfeng stood silently in a corner behind Ling Lan. He waited for the meeting to start.
“Actually, I’m sure all of you know why I gathered you here.” Yu Huan smiled as he spoke.
The other regiment commanders smiled too. “Of course, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time,” one of the regiment commanders replied.
Yu Huan continued, “Yes. We should have done this a long time ago but Regiment Commander Ling was busy organising his mecha clan. In the recent battle, we won against Caesar. This is a glorious achievement for Base Nebula, and I will take this opportunity to pass the commander-in-chief position of the base to Regiment Commander Ling. What do you think?”
“Commander Yu is right. Regiment Commander Ling should have taken over this position a long time ago. Why don’t we complete the procedure today?” All the regiment commanders agreed with the proposal. The recent battle today proved how strong Lingtian was. The fact that they defeated Knight Ace Mecha Clan was already enough to convince them.
“Since no one has any objection to the proposal, let’s proceed. We’ll have a vote now.” Yu Huan’s smile got brighter.
“Commander Yu Huan, I have a question for Regiment Commander Ling.” Just as Yu Huan thought that everything was going smoothly, one of the regiment commanders suddenly raised his hand.
Yu Huan frowned. He controlled his unhappiness and said kindly, “Regiment Commander Zheng, please go ahead.”
“Since you’re going to be the commander-in-chief of our base, can you introduce yourself?” Regiment Commander Zheng disregarded the glares from the crowd and spoke his thoughts loudly.
Since the other party wanted them to trust him, he should at least be honest about his identity, right?
The other regiment commanders, who were unhappy at Regiment Commander Zheng’s behaviour at first, acknowledged his question. They looked at Ling Lan and waited for his response.
Ling Lan glanced at Li Lanfeng. Li Lanfeng understood her and closed his eyes slightly.
“Little Four, control all the signals in the base.” Ling Lan ordered Little Four silently.
“I understand, Boss.” Little Four rubbed his hands excitedly. It was finally his time to perform.
“My background is very simple.” Ling Lan noticed Yu Huan’s helpless expression. There was no way she could evade this question. However, she had never thought of hiding her past. She was proud to be Ling Xiao’s ‘son’.
