Chapter 1240: 1240
“Do you think we will face an impossible hurdle?” Li Lanfeng looked grave . If Ling Lan felt that it was dangerous, they must be in grave danger .
“I don’t know . The feeling is very vague . I just know that it’s dangerous but I don’t know what is dangerous or who is dangerous . ” Ling Lan frowned .
“The future is unpredictable . We don’t know what traps are laid out before us . All we can do is to make ample preparations . ” Li Lanfeng felt helpless too . Their enemy was hidden too deeply . Even after collecting a lot of information, they still couldn’t find the mastermind behind their troubles .
“There’s nothing much we can do now . I hope that it won’t be as bad as I think it will . ” This sentence was to console Li Lanfeng . Unless someone meddled with fate, her instinct should be right . After all, her innate talent was Profound Insight .
Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng kept a close watch on the series of events that was happening . However, contrary to expectations, they only received more good news for the next few days . General Ling Xiao managed to destroy a few more important planets of Twilight before he disappeared from everyone’s sight again .
Ling Lan and her entourage analysed General Ling Xiao’s assault plan . However, they couldn’t find any pattern in his movements . A few days ago, he was at the east of Twilight . Today, he appeared in the west . Everyone thought that he would go to the north or south after this but instead, he went back to the east .
While everyone was praising Ling Xiao for his unpredictable offensive tactics, Ling Lan wondered if her father just followed his feelings and attacked wherever he wanted to . She suspected that it had nothing to do with planning
Of course, to protect the glamourous image of her father, Ling Lan wouldn’t tell anyone her real thoughts .
After Ling Xiao destroyed the fourth planet of the Twilight Empire, the military of Twilight finally erupted in anger .
“Useless! Every one of you so-called analysts got led by the nose by Ling Xiao . Half of our manpower and finance went down the ground for that fruitless pursuit . ” The emperor threw the financial report angrily in the prime minister’s face .
“Yes, it’s our fault . ” The prime minister lowered his head and admitted his mistake sincerely . It was true that half of the military’s manpower was used to find Ling Xiao and his 23rd division . At first, they thought that they would be able to catch Ling Xiao soon . Instead, they allowed Ling Xiao to destroy three of their planets and escape right under their nose . If ambush on Three Stars Lock was included, it would be four times Ling Xiao had escaped under their watchful eyes .
The first time might be a coincidence since they were unprepared but four consecutive losses couldn’t be explained by sheer coincidence .
“I don’t want to listen to you admitting your uselessness . I just want to know how we can kill this damn Immortal Bird so that he can never come back to life again . ” The emperor exploded in anger .
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty . We’ve finished all our preparations . Ling Xiao won’t be able to escape this time . ” The prime minister looked up . Killing intent flashed oozed out of his eyes . It was time for Ling Xiao to pay his blood debt .
“I hope you meant what you say,” the emperor replied furiously . None of the promises his prime minister made in the past were fulfilled . What his prime minister just said had already been said countless times yet, there were no results to show for . The emperor found it hard to believe his prime minister now .
“Your Majesty, if I fail again, I will apologise with my death . ” The prime minister was determined to show his confidence in his plan . Their trap had been laid . It was foolproof . If Ling Xiao still managed to escape again, he wouldn’t have the dignity to continue living .
The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze . After some time, he nodded and said, “I’ll wait for your good news . ”
In the Federation, everyone was rejoicing over the good news . They felt that General Ling Xiao could win the war single-handedly .
However, there were other voices in the military too . Some felt that Ling Xiao emphasised on the wrong thing . Shouldn’t he have focused on the main army? Some people even said that Ling Xiao left the three divisions behind because he wanted to gain all the merits .
Of course, these voices were very small . They were pushed down by Ling Xiao’s supporters the moment they emerged .
Some people also mentioned that Ling Lan disregarded the order from the higher authorities and moved Base Nebula without reporting to her superiors . They said that she violated the military rules and should be called back for a trial . However, surprisingly, the military headquarters ignored these people . Many factions stood up for Ling Lan too . The military immediately reissued an order allowing Ling Lan to move Base Nebula . The people from Lingtian thought that Boss had passed this obstacle safely .
However, when Ling Lan received the order, her expression turned even darker . Li Lanfeng frowned too .
Ling Lan closed her eyes and furrowed her brows .
Suddenly, she opened them and asked, “Are you sure that the Li family didn’t involve themselves in this?”
Li Lanfeng nodded seriously . “From the information they sent me, they didn’t do anything . Even if they did, they didn’t go all out . ”
“My people stood up but they got suppressed almost instantly . It seems like many people don’t want me to go back . ” Ling Lan’s gaze was stern .
She was the one who asked her people to condemn her . They were the ones who suggested that she broke the military rule . Ling Lan wanted to use this to test the water . The result she found was terrible .
“The Li family didn’t place all their bets on you . ” This plan was created by the two of them . To heighten the effect, Li Lanfeng contacted the family head of the Li family . He asked the Li family to cooperate entirely with their plan . From the result, they could tell that the Li family didn’t approve of Li Lanfeng’s plan . They had other thoughts in their mind .
“Benefits are always the most important thing to the Li family . It’s understandable why they made this decision . They might think that it’s better for them if we stayed at the frontline . ” Li Lanfeng sneered . His contempt towards the Li family was obvious .
Li Lanfeng didn’t like the Li family . If they listened to him and cooperated with Ling Lan, he might bear with them and help them due to the blood ties . Now… once he and Ling Lan overcame this obstacle, he would slowly deal with them .
“I feel that the trap is laid before my father and I . However, I can’t see it . ” Ling Lan hated it when she couldn’t control the situation .
“No matter what the order is, we just need to stay inside Base Nebula . Even if there are dangers, we’ll be able to remain safe with the weapons and equipment on the base . ” Li Lanfeng decided that they would stay inside Base Nebula and not go out . This was a bad idea but it was the safest .
“They wouldn’t forget about Base Nebula . ” Her opponent was too strong . Ling Lan felt that she was being suppressed all the time . “They will definitely find a reason to get me out of Base Nebula . It will be something I can’t reject . ”
