It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1212 - A Villainous Plot?



Chapter 1212 A Villainous Plot?

“We just don’t know which god-class operator the military headquarters have sent to participate in the war.” Han Jijyun had a pondering look on his face. Although the Federation had eight other god-class operators and could send any one of them, in reality, it wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Our enemies predict how many god-class operators are left and quantify their overall battle potential within the Federation after taking a look at the god-class operators we send out as god-class operators have their own strengths and weaknesses. One poorly made decision might allow our enemies to uncover the hidden truth.

“That’s for the military headquarters to figure out. You don’t have to use your mind for that.” Qi Long saw Han Jijyun pondering deeply about the issue and told him to stop.

Hearing this, Han Jijyun shook his head in resignation. “Indeed. This has nothing to do with us, but it’s a good practice. I want to simulate being in an actual war. Although the military headquarters had given us a three-year grace period, I’m very sure that at the end of it, we will have to go to war. When that time comes, everything will be through personal judgment. If I can practice more and increase my knowledge, it will be good for our future as an independent army.”

“We don’t have three years,” Ling Lan suddenly said solemnly.

All of the brigade leaders were all surprised by the sudden statement and looked towards Ling Lan.

Ling Lan calmly said, leaving no room for doubt, “We may have to go into the battlefield in the near future.”

She didn’t forget the reminder her father had given her before leaving for war. The spy who was recently caught wasn’t the prized fish her father seeked. The spy who had hurt her father was still at large.

“How soon?” Yang Mingzhi had a grave look on his face as he asked.

He finally understood why the logistics department was running in full force and why they were rampantly increasing their numbers of their army. Moreover, he knew now why Lingtian was taking in more established mecha clans and difficult-to-handle veterans, than new recruits who had potential and had admiration for Ling Lan and her army. If their army still had that three-year grace period, taking in those recruits were the most obvious and correct choice as they had potential to grow to the top performers of the army while also being loyal to Lingtian.

However, with that grace period gone, their commander had no choice but to recruit those stubborn veterans soldiers. The burden of the survival of Lingtian Independent Army was on Ling Lan’s shoulders. She must have refused to take in those new recruits because of their own good. She hoped that they would have time to grow in a safe environment to just be cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Without those three years, most of the new recruits would perish if they were immediately sent into the battlefield. Although war could allow new recruits to grow much quicker, becoming elites of war, the price for such hardened elites was a very high mortality rate.

His commander, Ling Lan, was although cold-hearted and seemingly merciless and ruthless, but every decision he made was through much careful thought, no matter if it was for new recruits or veterans.

Yang Mingzhi was moved. If the chief who led him at his downfall thought things through like Commander Ling, could his comrades have came out alive from that trap?

A wave of regret rushed into Yang Mingzhi’s heart. He was lucky to meet this new commander, but unfortunately, his comrades weren’t as lucky as him.

“It will depend on when General Ling Xiao achieves a huge victory in the war.” Ling Lan’s cold and clear voice forced Yang Mingzhi to toss the regret and sadness to the back of his head as needed to think about his current comrades now. Ling Lan’s words caused a frown to form on his face. He could smell the plot thickening in the air.

“Someone is planning on going against General Ling Xiao?” Yang Mingzhi looked at Ling Lan with his widened eyes in hopes that his commander could give him an answer.

“It’s a high possibility. That’s why one huge victory would make it all clear.” A coldness flashed before Ling Lan’s eyes for a moment.

If the military headquarters were to actually give an order for Lingtian Independent Army to enter the war against the Twilight Empire, then no matter what the reason was, there would definitely be a top ranking individual who wanted to go against her father. However, using her as a pawn to trap her father still needed her approval first.

Ling Lan’s words made all the brigade leader’s faces darken. Ling Xiao was the idol of every soldier in the military. They couldn’t accept the fact that someone wanted to plot against the general, and the fact that person was a high ranking official from the military headquarters.

At that moment, the military headquarters was in a state of rage after receiving news of Granda’s god-class operators appearing on the Twilight Empire’s battlefield. After an emergency meeting, they immediately sent the god-class operator who was closest to the Twilight Empire to join the war. At the same time, the Federation’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was putting down Granda for becoming involved in the war between the two nations… The Intergalactic United Nations once again turned into a large debacle of who’s right and who’s wrong. The Federation’s most valued ally had actively participated in the argument, declaring that they were going to war as well. A war between two nations now became a war between four nations. The flames of war began to spread.

“The Federation sent the closest god-class operators to the Twilight Empire… They made a really good choice. We are now unable to determine if Supreme Dragon has fallen from grace.” At that moment, in the military headquarters of the Caesar Empire, a few high ranking officials were sitting and discussing about the imminent intergalactic war..

“According to the intel our spies have given us, out of the eight god-class operators, three of them are within the military headquarters and the other five are at locations here, here, and here…” A white-haired general from Caesar pointed at the mini virtual screen in front of him and five red dots followed afterwards, indicating where he had pointed.

“Everyone can see that there are two points that although seem to be of opposite directions, but they are both closest to the Twilight Empire’s battlefield. For god-class mechas, such distance can be neglected.” said the white-haired general as he pointed at the two dots close to the Twilight Empire.

“The Federation sent out the god of close combat, Dominant Sword King, Wang Shang. He’s considered to be in the middle of the pack in the Federation,” said the general sitting opposite towards him.

“So he’s ranked around the middle.” Another general who was sitting at the side of the white-haired general, guffawed.

“Yes. According to the spies’ intel, his rank is seventh.” said the white-haired general. “The other god-class mecha operator they sent is ranked 4th, Master of the East, Dong Xiangnan.

After hearing that name, many people felt their eyes twitching and felt a bit nauseous.

Ling Xiao came up the ranks quite recently compared to the large interval of ascensions of god-class operators. He was considered by all the nations to be the Federation’s number one god-class operator after he had returned because his piloting was perfect with no weaknesses and he was adept in both close combat and long range combat. However, before Ling Xiao had returned, what made the other nations have headaches was not the top three strongest individuals in the Federation. It was instead this Dong Xiangnan, who was always 4th no matter what.

When talking about Dong Xiangnan, any god-class operator who had fought with him, would cuss and insult him as despicable and shameless. His existence was essentially a disgrace to all god-class operators.

The Federation’s god-class operators usually fought fairly and would always use their abilities to push against their opponents. However, Dong Xiangnan wasn’t anything like that. No matter if the opponent was strong or weak, he wouldn’t fight them head on. He would constantly hide and ambush them, and that was the norm for him. He would even use perverted techniques that no one dared to even mention. Moreover, his arsenal was full of those perverted techniques.

No one knew Dong Xiangnan’s real capabilities was. That was because those who went against him would usually die from a trap before he showed his real potential, not to mention anyone forcing Dong Xiangnan to put in all of his effort into the fight. In reality, except for the prime Supreme Dragon, Mountain King of the South, King Muqi and Ling Xiao who came recently, Dong Xiangnan was the only undefeated god-class operator from the Federation. This was why he could maintain the fourth position for so long.
