Chapter 154: Awakening!
Editor: H2dH2mr In outer space, in the control room of the Twilight Empire interstellar mothership, a group of people had already been waiting patiently for several hours.
But as ti went by and there was no news from below, they began to grow restless and began discussing what they should do next.
“Commander, the enemy’s reinforcent fleets are at this point, while our reinforcent fleets are here,” reported the chief of staff, pointing out the locations on the star map on the big screen.
“In three hours, the enemy’s starships will appear in the outer space of this planet,” the chief of staff continued to say after referencing the information.
“This fleet — before they can reach here, they should be attacked by our empire’s reinforcent fleet.
We still have ti.” The commander was unwilling to just give up now.
The planet below was currently in a lee combat stage — no one could tell yet who the final winner or loser would be.
“Where are Ikeda-kun and the others now?” asked the commander.
“They’ve already landed safely and are currently carrying out Operation Decapitation.
However, only two teams have managed to assemble.
The others are either missing or have been nobly sacrificed in battle,” replied a staff officer in charge of keeping track of the dead and injured.
“Any movent from the other fleets of the Federation?” the commander asked the chief of staff.
The chief of staff imdiately pointed out three dots closest to this planet and said, “At each of these three points, a fleet is stationed there.
Although our covert scouting did not manage to find out their destinations, based on the current situation, they will definitely be heading our way.
“If they rush here, we will have no chance of winning this battle.” This planet was the closest to the three countries — the Federation, Caesar, and Gelland — and was honestly a bit far from Twilight.
Thus, their interstellar fleets could not speedily send assistance, unlike the Federation.
After a thoughtful silence, the commander asked, “How much ti do we have left at most?” “If we don’t consider that first fleet, at most 7 hours.” The chief of staff gave his verdict.
“Pass on the order to Ikeda-kun.
They only have 7 hours, no, 6 hours and a half.
If they cannot carry out Operation Decapitation in 6 and a half hours, they will be abandoned,” said the commander ruthlessly.
“Hai!” Everyone bowed their heads fearfully as they accepted the order.
Within Twilight, the supre commander had the ultimate right to decide whether the warriors below lived or died.
Ti passed bit by bit.
The first reinforcent fleet was attacked by a Twilight Empire reinforcent fleet even before they entered the starspace of this planet.
Both sides began an intense starship battle, involving thousands of starships respectively.
Over a hundred thousand starship warriors were killed in this space battle.
When only half an hour remained on the clock, dark clouds blanketed the whole Twilight interstellar mothership control room.
Everyone’s face was a sheet of grey — they could already feel the failure of their invasion plan this ti.
“Why do we still not hear anything from Ikeda-kun?” Seeing that the opponent’s reinforcents were almost here, the commander of the mothership in outer space started yelling in anger.
The people around him could only bow their heads in silence.
At this mont, everyone felt that the odds were not in team leader Ikeda’s favour.
“Baka!
All useless trash!” Frankly, the commander did not have a good feeling about this as well; he was just unwilling to accept it.
Of course, they did not know that of their two surviving teams of ace cha, one had died without fanfare, courtesy of Ling Lan.
It was just that no one would ever know, besides Qi Long’s group of four.
anwhile, the other team very unfortunately crossed paths with the cha squad of the camp’s supre commander.
The supre commander himself was an ace operator at his peak, just one step away from advancing to imperial level.
And the weakest mber of the squad protecting him was still a special-class cha operator.
The camp commander was extrely cunning — seeing this ace cha team, he imdiately ordered his cha team to surround and kill them.
That team did not even have the chance to fight back, dying under the collective shots of countless beam guns.
In this way, Operation Decapitation was easily nipped in the bud.
As Qi Long and the others were rushing back to the main camp, the battle was already reaching its end.
The starships in the space above the planet were beginning to retreat systematically in the directions of their respective countries.
Of course, the departure of the starships ant that any cha operators left on the planet had basically been abandoned.
The planet’s main camp released the call to surrender — however, the Twilight Empire cha operators had been brainwashed very thoroughly by their nation.
When they knew they had no more chance of survival, these Twilight cha operators did not lose their fighting spirit, nor did they choose to surrender.
Instead, they exploded with astounding combat ability, dragging quite a few Federation cha operators down with them as they died.
This frightened the cold sweat out of the Federation cha operators, so they no longer dared to hold any sympathy for these abandoned soldiers — they began shooting the mont they saw one alive.
This situation resulted in very few injured mbers on both sides.
Twilight did not need any prisoners, so if they won in a fight, they would imdiately take the opponent’s life.
In return, the Federation returned tooth for tooth, blood for blood — by the end, no one was willing to spare the lives of these enemies who had taken their comrades’ lives and take them prisoner anymore anyway, so the killing continued.
******** After rapid-marching for a whole 15 hours, Qi Long and the others finally managed to get back to the main camp.
When the camp’s dical officer saw Qi Long and the others carting in the unconscious Ling Lan, he hurriedly let them put Ling Lan into one of the healing pods for treatnt.
“Luckily you lot ca back in ti.
If you all were just an hour later, the healing pods might not be even be effective anymore.” Seeing the information released by the healing pod, the dical officer could not help but exclaim.
Qi Long asked anxiously, “How long does he need to be treated before he can wake up?” “If just for waking up, perhaps about three days.
However, to fully heal his body, he would most likely have to lie in the healing pod for up to 3 months.” The dical officer was not exaggerating.
In truth, Ling Lan’s body was near the brink of collapse.
There only remained a tendril of vitality left in her body, and this tiny tendril was what would power Ling Lan’s recovery.
If this tendril was utterly destroyed, then it would be useless even if Ling Lan laid in this healing pod for 10 years.
“Three months?
That long?” The companions were struck with belated fear.
They had known that Ling Lan had been injured badly, but they did not expect the injuries to be this severe.
“That long?
Little fellows, you all should be grateful that it is only three months, and not no ti at all,” sighed the dical officer.
Only kids like these would be bothered about the length of ti needed for healing.
For people like him who were used to seeing life and death, as long as there was a chance to lie down and receive treatnt, it was a blessing no matter how long it took.
Every day the dical officer had to oversee countless patients coming and going, so after settling Ling Lan in, he did not pay any more attention to the matter.
anwhile, Qi Long and the others ca every day to the dical departnt to watch over the healing pod, waiting for Ling Lan to wake up.
The dical officer was very reliable; three days later, Ling Lan hazily woke up.
The others were thrilled, rushing to ask if Ling Lan needed anything.
Ling Lan shook her head at them.
Little Four had told her everything that had happened after she lost consciousness, so she knew that Qi Long and the others were aware that she was the one operating the cha.
However, Ling Lan was very pleased with the clean-up that Han Jijyun had done.
She had originally planned to do the sa to destroy all evidence of the incident.
anwhile, at this ti, this planet was finally fully back in the control of the Federation.
They successfully killed all the invading Twilight warriors, though of course there were so cha operators who had chosen to abandon their cha and flee on foot into the forest to hide, biding their ti for an opportunity to counterattack.
With regards to those people, the Federation did not specially send out teams to clear them out.
This was because once they entered F-class savage beast territory, those cha operator without their cha were really unlikely to be able to handle those savage beasts …
The rebuilding after the battle also comnced very quickly.
The Federation delivered materials and resources in an endless stream to the planet.
So credit had to be given to the Twilight Empire for this — their invasion this ti forced the Federation to publicize the coordinates of the mysterious planet and include it into the Federation’s maps, where it was given the na ‘planet Demonbeast’.
This was because there was nothing other than endless savage beasts on the planet …
Half a month later, Qi Long and the others resud their hunting assignnt.
Of course, every ti they returned, they would not forget to give Ling Lan a share of their earnings.
In this way, three more months passed.
Ling Lan finally obtained the approval of the dical officer to leave the healing pod and could once again move around freely.
The first thing Ling Lan after regaining her mobility was to go eat.
She was seriously starving — although nutrient solutions could replenish all the minerals and other elents needed by the body, her stomach, which was used to working for over 10 years, just could not help but feel hungry.
After she finished eating her fill, she looked up to find Qi Long and the others sitting beside her, waiting patiently.
“When did you guys arrive?” Ling Lan was startled.
She had been too focused on eating that she had not noticed anything happening around her.
Of course, she also questioned Little Four inside her mind, asking him why he had not alerted her.
Little Four was speechless — Boss was the one who said that these few people were on the list of people whose presence did not need to be announced.
When had Boss changed her mind?
Why did he not know about it?
“Not too long ago.
Seeing Boss eating so happily, we’re also very happy,” replied Han Jijyun with a smile.
Ling Lan rubbed her brow helplessly and said sulkily, “Han Jijyun, just ask if you have a question, this sneaky look doesn’t suit you.” Han Jijyun’s sudden change from a cool and serious scout into a warm and smiling gentleman just seed really awkward to Ling Lan; she couldn’t help but feel goosebumps rising all over her body.
“Here is not a suitable place,” said Han Jijyun regretfully, keeping his smile as he looked around.
Due to the rebuilding spanning 3 months, many of the veteran soldiers all managed to obtain new weapons of their own.
Thus, they were in a great mood, so it was easy to see tables after tables of rowdy celebrating soldiers.
Observing the situation around them, Ling Lan nodded and said, “True.
Then let’s go back to the dorms.” Ling Lan led Qi Long and the others back to their dorms.
She then took a quick shower and changed into a new set of protective clothes before sitting at her usual spot.
Then, she said, “Alright, ask if you have any questions.
But, this is only for today.” Ling Lan wasn’t soone who liked to talk about herself, which was why she had dragged on so long in revealing to the others that her father was Ling Xiao.
