Chapter 1080 What Are They?
At the Nebula Boundary between the Federation and Caesar, there was a huge man-made military fortress. This fortress was well-known throughout the galaxy. It was known as the fortress that Caesar couldn’t destroy.
Base Nebula was in possession of the most up-to-date military technology. It was built with the intent of it being an easy to hold but hard to attack movable base. In the face of a moveable and impenetrable base, Caesar couldn’t do anything to it other than just passively defending from it.
Of course, besides being able to move and having the ability to turn itself into a porcupine with powerful firearms all around it, Base Nebula was filled with powerful people too.
Base Nebula only had chas as its weapons. It had no need for other weapons.
There were more than a hundred ace cha clans and more than ten titled super cha clans in Base Nebula. Of course, most of the cha clans stationed in Base Nebula were normal cha clans. No matter how powerful the Federation or Caesar was, they didn’t have that many ace cha clans to waste on the battlefield. Most of the ti, the normal cha clans were the ones who participated in the battles.
The Nebula Boundary was the only place where battles were not fought with gigantic starships. Instead, battles were fought with a huge amount of cha clans.
At that mont, the commanding officer of Base Nebula was sitting on the sofa with another officer in a blue uniform.
They had a gold star and a gold leaf on their shoulders, informing everyone that they were major generals.
The commanding officer of this base was a gentle and cultured middle-aged soldier around 50 years old. If it wasn’t for the white hair near his ears, one might think that he was a 40-year-old young man. His na was Yu Huan. He ca from a normal family. Even though, he began from a low starting point, he climbed up to this position with his own abilities.
The person sitting opposite of him was the regint commander of a first-rank four-star titled super cha clan, Proud Wind cha Clan. His na was Ke Yufeng. He had been stationed at this base for five years.
These two people were the two largest voices of the base. Ke Yufeng took charge of the cha clans while Yu Huan took charge of all the other matters in the base. Yu Huan was the one who provided all the services for the various cha clans.
For the past five years, they cooperated well with each other and resisted against attacks from Caesar multiple tis. Just as they thought that they would continue their collaboration for the rest of their lives, an order from the military headquarters caused them to part.
Ke Yufeng and his Proud Wind cha Clan would be sent back to the Federation. Although Yu Huan knew that he should be happy for his friend since he would most likely be promoted when he went back to the Federation, he still felt weird about his friend’s departure. This was because the cha clan that would take over Proud Wind cha Clan was a cha clan he had never heard of––Lingtian.
“Do you think that there’s sothing wrong with the mainfra of the military headquarters? It must have made a mistake when it sent a new titled super cha clan to this base.” The close relationship between the two allowed them to speak their minds in front of one another.
Ke Yufeng shook his head. “You know that’s impossible.” If sothing were to happen to the mainfra of the military headquarters, that ant that the Federation was in deep trouble.
Ke Yufeng knew Yu Huan didn’t really think this way. He was just venting his frustration.
“It looks like soone in the military headquarters has been high on drugs recently.” Yu Huan smiled coldly. He knew that this was impossible but he was annoyed when he heard that an inexperienced cha clan was coming to guard their base.
“Maybe the regint commander has a huge background. He probably ca to just gain so rits.” Ke Yufeng had been thinking about the reason behind the order ever since he received it, and this was the only reasonable answer he thought of.
“Damn it! This is Base Nebula. This base concerns the safety of a planetary sector in the Federation. How can they treat it like child’s play?” Yu Huan rubbed his face and controlled the anger in him. “The entire Federation is in a ss. If this continues, the Federation will start rotting from the inside.”
“The ideals of the three great marshals are different and every one of them has a different viewpoint on how they can achieve their ideals. In order to win against their competitors, they might make so decisions outsiders can’t understand.” Ke Yufeng was in deep thought. “Maybe coming to Base Nebula wasn’t the intention of the regint commander. He might be forced to co here. A marshal might have sent him here in hopes that he would make a mistake so that he can use it to attack the faction the regint commander belongs to.”
Ke Yufeng belonged to the faction of the Second Marshal. The Second Marshal trusted him greatly so he knew about the battle of power between the three most powerful people in the Federation. In the past, he ca to Base Nebula because he didn’t want to get implicated by this power struggle. He wanted to leave the place where all the feuds arose so that he could place all his heart into doing what a soldier was supposed to do, protecting his country.
Yu Huan’s anger diminished a little when he heard Ke Yufeng’s explanation. As soone who was a commanding officer of an important base, he was a smart person too. He started thinking through what his comrade said.
“Actually, I feel that there’s sothing wrong with the order,” Ke Yufeng told him.
“I agree.” The mont Yu Huan received the order, he noticed sothing amiss with it too.
“The order is too vague. It didn’t state that the regint commander will be here to take over your position. It just states that the cha clan is in charge of the safety of this planetary sector.” Yu Huan sneered. “It’s obvious that they want to handle this matter myself.”
“They are forcing to make a choice, either I give the cha clan an opening gambit so that they will just beco one of the many titled super cha clans in the base or I pretend that I don’t know anything and just let him take over your position smoothly.” Yu Huan knew what his choices were. These two choices would bring him on two entirely different paths.
“If I guess correctly, they’re forcing you to take a stand too.” Ke Yufeng looked at Yu Huan worriedly. After five years of interacting with Yu Huan, he didn’t want his friend to get implicated by the power struggle as the waters there were too deep.
On the other hand, he had no say in the matter. His identity ant that he had to beco a mber of the Second Marshal’s faction. He couldn’t escape this destiny. Sotis, he admired Yu Huan. He didn’t belong to any factions and he used his own ability to climb to his position. He had no one holding him back and he could move forward without any worry.
“They can’t force to take any stand. I will only choose what I feel is the right decision.” Yu Huan didn’t have the concerns that Ke Yufeng had. He felt that only capable people should take the lead. If the regint commander of Lingtian was capable, he would give him the command of all the cha clans. If he wasn’t capable, he wouldn’t show him any face. He would do what he thought was necessary to protect the base.
“I hope that the Lingtian cha Clan is not as terrible as I think.” Yu Huan cald down. He didn’t feel as unhappy about the Lingtian cha Clan as before.
Three days later, the mainfra of Base Nebula received a signal requesting to enter their base.
“Commander Yu, we received a signal from Lingtian cha Clan. They’re requesting to enter the base. All the codes for the 13 signals are correct. Please give an order.” Yu Huan received a notification from the mainfra quickly.
Yu Huan looked at the ti on his communicator. It was 1:07 pm. He smiled. “They’re on ti.”
It would take around two to three hours for a huge cha clan to successfully enter a base and settle down. After going through all the procedures, it should be around 4 pm.
Yu Huan opened the screen in front of him and saw a huge starship waiting within the planetary sector outside their base.
“Let them in.” Since the mainfra had compared all the codes correctly, the incoming starship must be from Lingtian cha Clan.
The 13 codes were not given at once. They were sent to the regint commander of Lingtian cha Clan through various thods on the journey here. If one of them was wrong, the base would reject the starship from entering. If needed, the mainfra would attack the starship without his command.
The starship was given the green light. It entered the spaceport of Base Nebula slowly.
The sounds of chains unwinding could be heard. Many secured docks extended from the spaceport and locked the starship up. Then, the starship was pulled into the dock.
The door of the starship opened. Many soldiers alighted the starships in an orderly manner.
Clear and orderly footsteps were heard.
They looked straight ahead and their footsteps were in unison. The military boots made a crisp sound as it landed on the ground. The sound was loud enough to cover up the shouts of command from the staff mbers in the spaceport.
The sound of the footsteps attracted the attention of all the staff mbers working in the spaceport.
“Woah, it’s so orderly.” One of the staff mbers couldn’t help but exclaim.
‘Who are they?’ This was the question everyone had in their mind.
All the staff mbers carried this query with them as they rushed over to find an answer.
Soon, many spectators gathered around the soldiers that ca down from the starship. However, the soldiers didn’t seem to notice them. They didn’t seem to hear the exclamations around them too. They just walked straight until they saw a vast plaza. Then, they stopped.
No, they didn’t stop moving. They perford a sharp turn and split into the two ends of the plaza, making space for the soldiers behind them.
More and more soldiers ca out of the starship. Soon, the plaza was filled with soldiers. There were around 5000 soldiers.
“Attention!” A loud voice was heard.
“Bam!”
The 5000 soldiers stood in position. The sound of them stomping their feet echoed through the port. There was only a single sound in the entire port.
“They’re gathering.” The staff mber at the side knew what the soldiers were doing.
“Their force of presence is so powerful.” So people were already looking at the soldiers with admiration.
Nowadays, the movents of the soldiers were rarely so unified. This was why the soldiers in the spaceport were shocked by the orderly footsteps of these soldiers.
“May I know who is the captain here?” A young lieutenant colonel walked over and asked the crowd.
“Oh, it’s .” The captain was in the crowd staring at the orderly soldiers in daze. He quickly regained his senses when he heard the question.
“I’m the head of the logistics departnt of the Lingtian cha Clan, Lin Zhong-qing. May I know what arrangents Base Nebula has made for us?” The lieutenant colonel revealed his identity and asked the captain.
“Lieutenant Colonel Lin, nice to et you. This is the camping ground we have set up for you. The Proud Wind cha Clan is waiting to handover their camping ground to you.” The captain took out a card and handed it over to Lin Zhong-qing respectfully.
Lin Zhong-qing took out his communicator and scanned the card. A map of Base Nebula appeared on the virtual screen of his communicator. There were two red dots on the map. One was where their new camping ground would be while the other was the cha hold where their chas would be placed in.
“I understand.” Lin Zhong-qing nodded and he walked back. At that mont, a few majors ran out from the group of 5000 soldiers. The 5000 soldiers then split into many teams. They started getting busy.
When the soldiers from Lingtian cha Clan left, the entire spaceport turned noisy. Everyone started discussing among themselves.
“Those soldiers must be all cha operators, right?”
“Of course. I saw many lieutenants and majors.” Of course, most of the soldiers were sergeants. There were very little corporals.
To make sure that the new logisticians weren’t at a disadvantage, 250 Ace cha Clan, oh wait, Lingtian cha Clan allowed the new logisticians to keep their military rank. So of them even got promoted one rank. This allowed those disgruntled logisticians to feel excited instantly. Their unhappiness quickly disappeared.
At that mont, one of the logisticians who was in charge of the cha hold ran over with a dumbfounded expression.
“Do you know what I saw just now?” The logistician was extrely excited.
“What?” Everyone was curious. They knew that Base Nebula had the most up-to-date technology in the Federation and all the facilities in the base were all top of the line. Hence, it was hard for them to feel dumbstruck or shocked.
“chas! There are so many chas!” The logistician swallowed his saliva. He couldn’t use words to express his astonishnt when he saw the whole sky of chas.
“Tsk!” Everyone thought that they would hear so huge news. They looked at the logistician with disdain.
Base Nebula lacked anything but chas. They could even say proudly that none of the other bases in the Federation had as many chas as them.
“Have you seen a cha clan that has ten thousand chas?” The logistician was unsatisfied about their reaction so he added on. Indeed, they had seen many chas but the chas were not what shocked him. It was the number of chas.
“F**k!”
“Are you serious?”
“You must be lying!”
The soldiers were flabbergasted when they heard what the logistician said. They were in disbelief.
“I heard the numbers they reported. They have 10800 chas. I couldn’t have heard wrong.” The logistician was firm.
“That can’t be right. I rember Captain Lu saying that there are only 5823 soldiers in Lingtian cha Clan. Even if every one of them has a cha... are they each controlling another backup cha?”
Soone swallowed his saliva and said, “I think that it’s possible.”
“Are the 5823 people all cha operators?”
“Oh my god!”
Another soldier swallowed his saliva too. “I think that that’s possible too...”
Everyone exchanged glances with one another. Even a powerful cha clan like the Proud Wind cha Clan only had 2000 cha operators and 5000 logisticians.
“What on earth is the Lingtian cha Clan?” Everyone looked towards the direction where the chas from Lingtian cha Clan disappeared to. They were in awe.
