Chapter 1221: 1221

Chapter 1221 Commander Ling Lan!

“The head didn’t say in detail . He just told me that they have a powerful background so they should get some merits . ” Major General Xu finally spit out the truth . They were all in the same situation . No one would be spared if this mission were to fail .

“Is he a general from Planet General?” Major General Di frowned . He hated those incapable officers with powerful backgrounds . They were able to get merits just because they came from a good family . Their positions weren’t a depiction of their ability .

“From the head’s tone, he seems to respect Lingtian,” Major General Xu recalled carefully before answering .

“It looks like the situation is not as bad as we think . ” Major General Qiu heaved a sigh of relief .

“As long as they’re not those useless second generations, everything is fine . ” Major General Di was just worried that Lingtian consisted of a bunch of incapable young masters who didn’t know how to fight and only knew how to enjoy themselves . This kind of people would call them names and throw all kinds of fits if they didn’t listen to them .

Major General Di had been in the logistics department for quite a long time . Whenever he met this kind of people, he would feel extremely stifled . He feared that one day he might have a heart attack just by watching those child-like behaviours coming from an adult . That was why he was afraid of meeting more of those manchilds .

“Why haven’t they contacted us? We’ve almost finished loading up the cargo, yet there is still no news from them . Even if there’s a delay, they still should contact us to inform us . ” Major General Di felt that Lingtian was being irresponsible so he got angry .

“Let’s wait for them to come . If they don’t arrive at the stipulated time, we’ll report to the military headquarters and then leave ourselves,” Major General Qiu said .

“Agreed . After all, we have our own escorts to protect us . The only danger we have to be careful of is Twilight, but with the 13th division maintaining the frontline, Twilight shouldn’t be able to ambush us . ” Major General Di felt that it was better to interact less with this irresponsible Lingtian Independant Army .

Major General Xu frowned . He reminded Major General Di, “We can’t be too sure of that . General Ling Xiao is able to sneak through the death wormhole and destroy Three Stars Lock, so who knows what Twilight might do? It’s better to be careful . ”

“What do we do then? Are we going to wait until they come?” Major General Qiu said in a helpless tone .

“The time is not up yet . Let’s wait until the designated time . They might be able to reach before the time is up . ” Because of the head’s respect for Lingtian, Major General Xu had a good impression of this independant army . That was why he spoke up for them .

“I hope so . ” Compared to Major General Xu, Major General Di and Major General Qiu’s impression of Lingtian wasn’t good .

Soon, the day of the departure arrived .

The three major generals boarded their mainships and started a video call .

Major General Di looked at the time on his communicator . He said calmly, “There’s still one hour left . ”

“This is atrocious . ” Major General Qiu was furious . They had tried contacting Lingtian but for some reason, they couldn’t reach them .

Major General Xu kept a stern expression . He didn’t say anything . He wouldn’t judge Lingtian until the final moment .

Suddenly, a voice sounded out from the mainframe on Major General Di’s side . “Signal coming in . Decoding . ’

“Identity confirmed . It’s Lingtian Independent Army . Commander, do we accept the call?” The mainframe asked its commander .

Major General Di’s expression softened a little . He took a deep breath and said, “Yes . ”

A cold-looking lieutenant general appeared on the screen of the three major generals . The person on the screen must be the supreme commander of the independent army .

Young . This was the first impression they had of this officer . Their next impression was cold . When they looked into his eyes, they could feel a chill up their spines .

“Nice to meet you . I’m the commanding officer of this mission, Ling Lan,” Ling Lan said calmly .

The military just ordered Lingtian to escort the starships, they didn’t state that Ling Lan would be the commanding officer of the mission . However, based on military rules, when different departments participated in a mission together, the highest-ranking officer would be the commanding officer .

Ling Lan knew that if she gave up this position, people might view her as weak or just incapable of handling the role . All in all, they would look down on her if she didn’t forcefully grab a hold of the post .

If she was alone, she didn’t mind people judging her as it wouldn’t affect her in any way .

However, she was currently the commander of Lingtian Independent Army, representing a whole army . If people looked down on her, they would look down on Lingtian Independent Army too . The reputation of her soldiers would be packaged with their reputation . All the soldiers in her army would be affected negatively if she was viewed in a negative light . Thus, after all considerations, Ling Lan had to take over the position of the commanding officer for the sake of her soldiers .

Major General Di never thought of passing the position of commanding officer to someone else, especially not to someone he didn’t trust .

However, he couldn’t outright reject Ling Lan . He looked at the lieutenant general insignia on Ling Lan’s shoulder and felt stifled . Her rank was higher than all of them .

While Major General Di was feeling frustrated, Major General Xu remained calm . He asked, “Do you have an order to do so?”

“Based on military rules, the position of commanding officer would belong to the highest ranked officer . ” Ling Lan had already asked Little Four to look through all the military rules and regulations . From the moment she knew that she was pushed to the frontline because of her father, she had made up her mind to gain the commanding power .

“We’re a logistics fleet . ” It wasn’t necessary to enforce the military rules on them .

“Are we going on a tour around Twilight?” Ling Lan raised one of her eyebrows as she looked at Major General Xu intently . Major General Xu’s breath was immediately forced back into his body by her words . His words got stuck in his throat .

“Lingtian is already waiting outside the port . Please depart on time . ” Ling Lan disappeared from the screen once she finished saying her piece . It seemed that she only appeared to inform them that she was the commanding officer .
