Chapter 1278
“My older brother is my twin so there is a subtle connection between us . My heart tells me that he’s still alive . He isn’t dead . ” Luo Chao pointed to her heart and continued in a firm tone, “Since my brother isn’t dead, Boss can’t be dead since he is much more powerful than my brother . Why are you crying and lamenting? Shouldn’t you be helping Boss to control the situation here so that he can gain more power in the future when he returns? What a bunch of losers you are . You are making me look down on you
Luo Chao glared at the men with contempt . They should be discussing how to stabilise Boss’s power, especially since General Ling Xiao had died . No one could help Boss now . They needed to work even harder now to help Boss .
“Luo Chao is right . You shouldn’t be lamenting in sadness . We should think about how we can help Boss control the Lingtian Independent Army and the 23rd division . We can’t let anyone take away General Ling Xiao’s hard work . The general of the 23rd division can only be Boss,” Han Xuya agreed with Luo Chao .
“Yes, you’re right . ”
“We mustn’t shoot ourselves in our foot . During this time, when Boss is away, we must protect the Lingtian Independent Army . ”
“And the 23rd division . ”
“It’ll be harder to protect the 23rd division . We don’t have enough power . However, we must protect the Lingtian Independent Army . ”
Everyone started speaking . The atmosphere soon became lively .
Actually, none of them believed that Boss, who was as powerful as a god to them, would die . But, they just couldn’t find a reason to support their belief . Luo Chao’s words finally gave them confidence . If Luo Lang was alive, Boss would definitely be alive too . Yang Mingzhi noticed that everyone had pulled themselves together so he opened his mouth and said, “Yes, this is what we need to do immediately . The reason why our commander sent us out is most probably because he doesn’t want anyone to take over the Lingtian Independent Army . ”
“But the whereabouts of our commander is unknown . The military won’t let the position remain empty . Even if they don’t appoint a new commander, they will probably send us a temporary commander,” Liu Furong said .
“We need to discuss how we should tackle this issue and help our commander retain his position . ” Yang Mingzhi stared intently at the young heroes brought up by Ling Lan . They were all amazing talents . If they went out, every division would try and snatch them furiously . Yet, they were willing to stay beside Ling Lan and follow him . They were willing to contribute to the Lingtian Independent Army .
Ling Lan was lucky to have a bunch of loyal comrades . At the same time, these young people were fortunate enough to have such a caring leader . Yang Mingzhi clearly knew the amount of effort Ling Lan took to groom her comrades, maybe even more than these younglings could imagine .
This was the result of both sides opening their hearts to each other . For the first half of Yang Mingzhi’s life, he had experienced a lot . He had a group of brothers-in-arms who went through thick and thin together . However, betrayal, politics, and schemes cost him his lifelong friends . He was disappointed and had almost given up on life . He just wanted to spend the rest of his life quietly without thinking too much . That way, his life would be easier .
However, life was interesting . He was sent to the 23rd division and entered the 250 Ace Mecha Clan . Then he met a powerful and ruthless young man, Ling Lan .
He could still remember the first time he saw Ling Lan . It was hard to forget him . His sharp gaze and his cold aura made him shudder in chill . He felt cold from head to toe .
He received the impression that this young man must be heartless and cold-blooded, maybe even a tyrant . Other people might not notice it but he could smell the devil blood aura hidden behind his chilling aura, an aura that could only be gotten by killing many people .
Just as he expected, Ling Lan used vicious and ruthless ways to control the 250 Ace Mecha Clan . The moment he acted, the more blood flowed . Yang Mingzhi hated his brutal methods but soon, he realised that all the seemingly tortures were actually good for their bodies .
Noticing this fact, Yang Mingzhi started to gain interest in Ling Lan . He observed him carefully and noticed that every time he hit someone, he would choose the spot that caused the least damage . Moreover, there would always be military doctors at the side so the situation was always under control .
Then, he saw the useless mecha operators standing up again . They basically turned into a totally different person . He began to understand that this cold-looking young man had a warm heart . The actions of Ling Lan confirmed his viewpoint .
Slowly, Ling Lan gained the respect of Yang Mingzhi . Yang Mingzhi saw Ling Lan training her comrade, protecting them from getting schemed by their enemies, preventing them from becoming a chess piece of the military, and making sure that they were safe until they became someone significant . He was jealous of them . If he met such good brothers, he wouldn’t have to go through so many pains and torments . He might be stronger than he currently was .
Yang Mingzhi respected Ling Lan wholeheartedly . However, he belonged to the First Marshal faction . The battle for power between the two generations, the First Marshal and General Ling Xiao, meant that he couldn’t support Ling Lan entirely . He was always worried that he would be discriminated by Ling Lan but instead, he didn’t mind his identity at all . He told him that as long as he didn’t betray Lingtian, they could work together .
It was a calm statement but he was blown away by it . Ling Lan meant what he said . Ling Lan gave him power and authority . Yang Mingzhi knew that if Ling Lan wanted to give him a position without real power or take his power away, he could do it easily . There was nothing he could do to retaliate . Lingtian’s soul was Ling Lan . Anyone could be missing but not Ling Lan .
Unknowingly, Yang Mingzhi’s heart was already shifted towards Ling Lan, the Lingtian Independent Army, and this bunch of simple-minded young people who were filled with vigour and dreams . He didn’t want this beautiful dream to be destroyed by the political war of the military headquarters . He wanted to protect these people, especially when Ling Lan wasn’t around .
Yes, he wanted to repay the person who trusted him sincerely . The person who was young enough to be his son but yet won his respect . He wanted to repay Ling Lan .
“The military would definitely send someone,” Liu Furong continued . “There is only one thing we can do . Make this person into one of us . Make him into someone who wants to protect Lingtian and not snatch Lingtian from our commander . ”
Everyone exchanged glances . No one knew what to say .
“Actually, besides sending someone, they might choose a person among us . In that case, there will be less resistance within Lingtian too,” Liu Furong added .
Yang Mingzhi nodded . “I’m one of the candidates . Vice Commander Liu will most probably be another candidate too . ”
“However, we’re not suitable for the position . ” Liu Furong frowned . “Vice Commander Yang’s identity puts him in an awkward position . The Second Marshal and Third Marshal won’t agree . I have past records of crimes so the three marshals won’t put me in the position too . ”
“We can push Leader Qi into the position . ” Yang Mingzhi finally revealed his and Liu Furong’s decision . While Qi Long and the others were feeling sad about what happened to Ling Lan, both of them had already started making preparations . They knew that they mustn’t lose their composure and cause an even greater problem .
