Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1219

Chapter 1219 Against The Rule?

The cries from the officers of Twilight sparked the compa.s.sion of the officers from their alliance nations. They stood out and supported them in condemning Ling Xiao. The alliance nations of the Federation couldn't sit still and watch their buddy getting bullied. They stood up and supported the Federation. In the end, no consensus was reached. Both sides were angered and they decided to fight for their own twisted sense of justice.

A war was inevitable. Of course, since Caesar didn't make their stand, a few strong alliance nations decided to be bystanders too. Hence, the intergalactic war didn't grow to a wider scale. Even so, all of the nations on the Federation's side prepared beforehand in case Caesar decided to partic.i.p.ate in the war suddenly.

A new order reached Ling Lan who was at Base Nebula.

In the meeting room, Ling Lan leaned against the comfy cus.h.i.+on of the commanding officer's chair as she half-closed her eyes. She placed one hand on the side of her head and asked calmly, “What do you all think of this order?”

All the upper echelons of Lingtian were gathered in the meeting room. Although Ling Lan had reminded all of them to be prepared, they were still in shock when they received the order.

“It looks like the spy in the military headquarters has started his plan,” Yang Mingzhi said in a serious tone. He put his head down as a look of uncertainty flashed pa.s.sed his eyes. If someone wanted to harm General Ling Xiao, why did they let him reach such a high position in the first place?

“Can we push the timing back by telling the headquarters that we are just a newly formed independent army?” Some brigade leaders expressed their opinions. Lingtian Independent Army had only formed for a few months. They had enough manpower but the cooperation and cohesiveness of the brigade members were still lacking. This wasn't a good time for them to go to the battlefield.

“It's almost impossible. The order said that we're going there to take a look at the battlefield to gain some experience. We're not going there to fight. The military is giving every new soldier a chance to visit the battlefield. We were informed we should be thankful to the military for letting us have the chance to gain some merits without doing any work.” Han Jijyun smiled bitterly.

This order was definitely given after much thorough planning. No loopholes could be used in their favour. If Boss hadn't told them that someone might want to use Lingtian to scheme against Ling Xiao, they might never see the killing intent behind this order.

“We should still try to delay it as much as possible.” Liu Furong said, ” If an “unfortunate” event were to befall us on the battlefield, they might blame it on us for being too c.o.c.ky.”

“That's right. We can't let them have any chances of blaming us.” Everyone agreed.

“Even if we didn't give them any chances, they will still think of ways to send us to the frontline,” Li Lanfeng said coldly. If someone wanted to scheme against them, they wouldn't be able to stop it no matter how careful they were. Ling Lan was Ling Xiao's only son. They wouldn't be able to evade this.

“The fewer the openings we give them, the fewer the opportunities they will have to harm us.” Han Jijyun looked at Li Lanfeng directly in the eye as he spoke. However, he wasn't as confident as he was previously.

“No matter what happens, it's always better to be prepared. I agree with Leader Han,” Li Lanfeng was surprisingly supportive of Han Jijyun's statement.

Han Jijyun retracted his gaze after gaining Li Lanfeng's approval. He looked down with confusion. Ever since they came to Base Nebula, Li Lanfeng wasn't as overbearing as he was before. He stopped criticizing him and he even sometimes gave him the chance to perform in front of Ling Lan. Han Jijyun believed that Li Lanfeng could easily think of his ideas too. However, why the sudden change in att.i.tude? Did he miss something?

Everyone freely expressed their opinions on the order. No matter what order the military gave them, they would just do what they were supposed to do and remain calm through it. Once they noticed something was amiss, they would try to drag the time. After all, they were a newly formed independent army. It was normal that there were mistakes when pa.s.sing down orders.

After everyone was prepared, Ling Lan sat up and looked at everyone casually. However, her presence said otherwise as it turned nail-bitingly cold in an instant.

The change in her presence silenced the entire meeting room. They sat up straight too and turned serious.

“Everyone, this is my final decision!” Ling Lan said coldly.

Everyone stood up and waited for their commander's decision.

“Base Nebula will head towards Twilight three days later at 8am sharp.” Ling Lan took her military cap and left the meeting room after speaking

After Ling Lan disappeared, everyone started talking

“Our commander said that Base Nebula will leave… Was I mistaken?” Yan Three was shocked. He tried to dig out the wax in his ears that was causing him to hear pretty nightmarish stuff.

“You're right. Our commander said that Base Nebula will leave for Twilight three days later at 8am.” The brigade leader beside Yan Three confirmed that he didn't hear wrongly.

“Didn't the military stationed Base Nebula at the Nebula Boundary? Is our commander breaking the rule?” Some brigade leaders were worried.

“Since Boss already made the decision, it means that he has found a way around the problem.” Luo Lang smiled brightly. He had complete confidence in Ling Lan.

“Yes. Boss will never make unwise decisions.” Qi Long trusted Ling Lan completely too. Ever since he was young, Ling Lan had proven to Qi Long that his confidence in her was correct.

Luo Lang believed Ling Lan just because he wanted to while Qi Long trusted Ling Lan because of his experience. The sources of their confidence were different but the result was the same.

“This must be his way of retaliating.” Han Jijyun muttered to himself. He was still in deep thought about the holes around Li Lanfeng's personality.

“With Base Nebula, we can choose to attack or defend. This is a good decision,” Li Lanfeng complimented.

He had been trying to think of a way out of this but he couldn't find the perfect solution. He had thought of moving Base Nebula out but Base Nebula was always stationed at the Nebula Boundary. If he moved it, Ling Xiao's enemy might use it as a reason to punish them. Thinking back, he was too timid. Even if he didn't move Base Nebula, their enemy would also try to harm them. In that case, it was better to provide Lingtian a better ride.

As for what would happen after that, he would just have to wait and see.
