It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1115 Punishment!

“I would probably believe that Lingtian had something to do with General Ling Xiao if Prince Ling wasn’t injured from the backlash of piloting a god-class mecha. However now...” The leader smiled coldly.

These words saddened many people. In reality, they had once discussed this matter in private. If Prince Ling didn’t go through the battle on Planet Haijiao, the Federation might already have their 13th god-class operator.

However, this thought only flashed by their minds for a moment. They quickly focused their attention on the formation of Caesar’s forces.

The battle was about to begin and they couldn’t afford to lose concentration.

“Attention, please prepare for battle.” The leader saw both sides sending out signal flares and immediately gave an order.

In the area around them, all of the vanguard front-line mechas from both sides were like two swarms of bugs, ruthlessly charging towards their opponents.

“Lingtian No. Zero request to launch.” Ling Lan pushed down on the button to connect to the JMCs to tell them her request for launch.

“U-U-Understood!” A trembling female voice responded from the JMC channel. She was instantly made dizzy by the luck she had in discovering their regiment commander. She was so excited that she was stuttering when she spoke.

“What’s wrong?” Lady Mei frowned as she asked the stuttering JMC.

“It’s our regiment commander.” The JMC was already blushing. She excitedly stood up and jumped up with all her might a few times just to exhaust her excited mood.

In the minds of these JMCs, Lingtian’s leaders were all handsome men they admired who they potentially had a chance with. Only their regiment commander was considered to be unreachable. Other than looking up at him, they could do nothing else.

However, they usually didn’t dare to even take a single look at this god of gods who they had respected, and he suddenly was the mecha operator that she was responsible for. This new recruit who had joined not so long ago couldn’t hold back her emotions any longer and was actually too excited that she had forgotten her actual job.

Right at that moment, Han Xuya who had already discovered the commotion, walked up and tossed that JMC away.

Bang! The young JMC was thrown off the ground. She looked at Han Xuya with fear in her eyes. “Department head?”.

“Go to the disciplinary team for not doing your duties during war times.” Han Xuya didn’t even look at her and turned to Lady Mei. “You will be responsible for our regiment commander’s mecha.”

“Yes, department head.” Lady Mei immediately put on the headphones and began to compare all the data of No. Zero to make sure it was up to standards of launch.

The young JMC who was thrown off the ground had a pale expression on her face. After awakening from the shock, she understood what mistake she had made. With a look of regret, she bit her lip, endured the pain, stood up, and saluted Han Xuya. “Yes, department head.”

After that, she turned around, left the JMC room, and went to report to the law enforcement department to accept her punishment.

After entering Lingtian Mecha Clan for almost 5 months, she already knew that Lingtian had a clear line between rewards and punishments. Once someone made a mistake, they would definitely be punished. No matter if the mistake was on purpose or not, a mistake was a mistake.

The departure of that JMC made the other JMCs become cautious, in case they became the next one to leave. After all, they could also suddenly become the JMCs for the handsome leaders.

“No. Zero assessment complete. All systems are normal. Launch permission granted.” After comparing all the data, Lady Mei didn’t find any problems and made the decision to allow No. Zero to launch.

After hearing an unfamiliar yet calm voice coming from the JMC channel, Ling Lan nodded with satisfaction. The JMC from before was indeed behaving badly. If it was a JMC from Base Nebula, Ling Lan would be more sympathetic and pretend nothing ever happened. However, it was Lingtian’s own JMC, so Ling Lan couldn’t overlook this mistake.

However, the JMC room reacted quickly and immediately controlled the situation themselves. It seemed Han Xuya was a good department head and was decisive enough when necessary. Ling Lan discovered that the two younger sisters, who she had cradled in the past, had slowly matured enough to hold their own.

“They’re all improving. It seems I can’t slow down either.” Ling Lan smirked as the countdown timer for launch rang in her ears.

Vroom! The sound of the engine revving. The regiment commander mecha Ling Lan was piloting launched out of the base and entered the vast and endless space.

It was the first time Ling Lan had piloted a mecha into outer space. She suddenly felt she was tiny compared to it. She suddenly understood why the academy instructor had said that the real battlefield for mecha operators was in outer space.

“Regiment commander, I don’t see Knight Ace Mecha Clan.” Qi Long, who was already in formation with his team members, had been looking for their opponent all this time. Unfortunately, he didn’t find them.

“They will definitely appear when they are supposed to appear. Pay attention to the movement of small groups of mechas.” Ling Lan looked at the hundreds of thousands of mechas fighting at the front-lines. She didn’t think that Knight Ace Mecha Clan would attack them head on.

“You mean Knight Ace Mecha Clan will be ambushing from another direction?” Yang Mingzhi frowned. If that was the case, then they would be at a disadvantage. After all, the base was too large and they were only situated in one area near the base. If the opponent were to sneak attack the base from a position opposite of theirs, they wouldn’t be able to reach them even if they wanted to.

“Don’t worry, other than the launching ports on this side, the other locations all have the Base Nebula’s forces standing by. If Knight Ace Mecha Clan is really going to ambush the Base Nebula, other than here, everywhere else will be a wasted effort.” With Little Four’s help, Ling Lan had already received the data from all parts of the Base Nebula and knew the strengths and weaknesses of it.

Ling Lan, of course, believed that Caesar also had the capabilities and means to acquire the data on these strengths and weaknesses. They probably had as much information as her already. Perhaps, they were sending Knight Ace Mecha Clan here to check whether there was actually a weakness here or not.

Ling Lan didn’t know whether she should consider it as Lingtian’s bad luck or Caesar’s bad luck.

If it was 6 months ago, with Proud Wind Mecha Clan’s overall strength, they definitely wouldn’t have been able to hold off against Knight Ace Mecha Clan’s forces. Perhaps back then, the opposition might actually get what they want.

However now, Lingtian was the main mecha clan for the Base Nebula. Despite Lingtian only having 1000 or so official mecha operators, these 1000 or so mecha operators were very adequate for such a battle... Plus, she still 1000 more reserve mecha operators. Despite their capabilities being lower than official members, they were still around the same level as other mecha operators from titled super mecha clans.

Four months of hellish training turned these already capable mecha operators into monstrous individuals who could go past their limits. They now only lacked a battle that could prove their real capabilities.

“Haha, I see! We just need to stay here and wait for them to throw themselves at us.” Luo Lang excitedly licked his lips. action

“Although they will come to our direction, this place is still very large. We still need to be cautious and make sure they don’t get past us from under our noses,” Yang Mingzhi immediately reminded everyone.

Yang Mingzhi’s words were agreed by everyone. They all activated the different types of radars on their mechas. They were afraid the opposition would use an inconspicuous signal and get past them.

“Coordinates: 3278X6827Y. Unidentified flying objects have appeared,” one leader suddenly shouted out.

“Analyze it.” Ling Lan ordered.

“Yes, sir!” Li Lanfeng and Han Jijyun’s voices echoed through the commlink channel.
