Chapter 1296 Spiritual Power Passcode
After all the officers sat down, He Xuyang spoke up, “Madam, we have already made the preparations. In the military headquarters conference three days from now, we will recommend Lieutenant General Ling to take over the position of the general of the 23rd Division. Please get ready by then.”
Lan Luofeng nodded and said, “I’ve already notified the First Marshal. There should not be any problems from his side. However, how we can make the Second Marshal and Third Marshal factions’ representatives agree will depend on everyone’s hard work.”
After hearing that the First Marshal’s faction was dealt with, He Xuyang felt relieved. When they first brought up this suggestion, he was afraid the First Marshal would disagree. The political pressure the First Marshal could exert was much greater than that from the Second and Third Marshals.
The officers, who were moved by such good news, began to have a heated discussion about the ways they could deal with the Second Marshal and the Third Marshal’s faction. While they were discussing, Lan Luofeng just listened there silently. She wasn’t as knowledgeable about the internal workings in the military headquarters, so she didn’t want to say anything wrong that could derail the officers’ thought processes.
After more than an hour of discussing, everyone knew what each of them needed to do. Then they all said their goodbyes to Lan Luofeng.
The reason they came to the general’s manor to discuss their plan was because they had no other options. In order to avoid the 23rd Division from grouping together, the military headquarters had stopped them from controlling the 23rd Division. They were ordered to not leave their post without any orders from the military headquarters.
These officers, who were constantly under surveillance, could only wait until they came to Planet General using the reason to visit Lan Luofeng to discuss their future plans.
Their reasoning was too valid to be refused by the military headquarters. If coming to visit the grieving wife of a general who had passed away was stopped by the military headquarters, they would definitely be shamed by the public once the news got out.
Although the military headquarters wanted to force the 23rd Division under their rule, they still didn’t want to anger all of the soldiers in the military and their citizens.
Not only was the 23rd Division under the military headquarters’ surveillance and restrictions, all of the brigade leaders and department heads of Lingtian on Planet General were also ordered to stay on their Destruction Devil, unless they were called upon. Otherwise, they weren’t allowed to leave the spaceport.
Of course, these orders were mostly restricting the higher ranking officers. If the average soldier wanted to leave the area, it was still possible.
In reality, the cost of maintaining the large number of soldiers was huge. They had to frequently go into Planet General to resupply their stock. This meant that sometimes they would need to go out of the Destruction Devil to buy their supplies. The military headquarters was still quite reasonable in this aspect. They only required Lingtian to give them a list of the logistics personnel going out to purchase supplies. Once the military headquarters determined that there was no issue with the candidates, they would let them out to resupply.
However, compared to male logistics personnel, those JMC female soldiers clearly got out of the spaceport much easier. As long as the list of their names was sent out, it would be approved after a short while. Sometimes, to avoid the troublesome procedure, some easy restocking assignments would be given to those beautiful and elegant JMCs.
On this day, around a dozen female JMCs were given the task to buy some everyday essentials. They took the interplanetary transport and reached the capital of Planet General. In order to increase the speed of their shopping, they split into groups of three and went to buy what they were assigned to buy.
Everyone promised to gather at the interplanetary transport station at 5 in the afternoon and then went their separate ways.
When all of the female soldiers had left, one of the guards, who was standing in the plaza, pressed on his ear canals and said softly, “Lingtian’s JMCs have split into groups of three. There doesn’t seem to be any problems currently.”
“Understood. We’ve already arranged people to follow them.” The person he was reporting to didn’t seem to be less cautious as he still sent out the next wave of men under his command to monitor these JMCs.
Most of the JMCs who came out today were quite beautiful. Of course, the most beautiful young girl was around 18 years old. She looked like a new recruit who had just joined not long ago. Out of the girls moving together with her, one was around the same age, or even younger. She was a little girl with a sweet smile on her face. The last one was somewhat older, she looked like she was in her early 20s. Although her looks were average, the aura she gave off was still calm and collected. She was probably the leader out of the three of them.
It was probably the first time the two younger female soldiers had gone to such a luxurious plaza. They constantly had curious expressions on their faces as they walked around. If the oldest of the three of them didn’t constantly remind them not to run off randomly, they probably would have just stayed in a shop they liked for hours and hours.
However, no matter how well they behaved and how much they tried to stop themselves, there was always a limit. When they saw those branded limited edition clothes, shoes and bags, they couldn’t control themselves anymore. They pulled the oldest of the three in with them to shop.
Not long after, in the crowd, an average person walked to a corner. He looked at the limited edition luxury goods as he said softly into his communicator, “The group I followed entered into the luxury shop in the Xihang District.”
“It seems like they won’t come out for a while,” said the man from the other side of the communicator. “Looks like this group should be clean.”
“Looks normal for now,” said the person in the corner softly. He was pretending to look at the scenery, but in reality, his attention was still on the shop. The three girls were looking through the beautiful dresses and clothes at that moment. They would speak to one another from time to time. They were probably discussing which one of the dresses looked better.
“Can you determine the number of people following us?” asked Li Lanfeng softly while disguising himself as the oldest of the three JMCs. He took a dress off the rack and placed it in front of Luo Lang.
“That person in the corner looking at the scenery and the couple who just entered the shop,” Luo Lang said as he shook his head, showing that he didn’t like the long dress Li Lanfeng was showing him.
“Not only that, this shop has surveillance cameras. They probably have already been temporarily taken over by the military headquarters,” said Ling Lan as she looked through dresses.
The reason the three of them were speaking out loud was because the words the surveillance cameras could pick up was different from what they were saying. The surveillance cameras could only hear words like “This dress is pretty. It suits you doesn’t it? Oh no, I don’t like that one.” or “You don’t like it? That one’s nice though.”
This effect was caused by infusing spiritual power in their words. It was a technique Ling Lan learned from Instructor Number Two. In order to make their mission convenient, Ling Lan quickly taught Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang the technique. It was good that Li Lanfeng was already an expert in spiritual power so he didn’t have much problems trying to learn it. Luo Lang on the other hand, how could his spiritual power not be strong when he had an infinite number of personalities to help him with it? Additionally, his calm personality was like a cheat code. Even if the main Luo Lang couldn’t learn it, the calm personality would still be able to learn it easily and transfer his new-found knowledge into Luo Lang.
Ling Lan believed that in this current era, no one could break the cryptic code that originated from Mandora.
