Ling Lan felt that her spiritual power didn't have any more problems now, so she wanted to continue to pilot her mecha. However, she discovered that she couldn't leave her mindscape and was stuck there.

"Little Four, Little Four." Ling Lan called for her omnipotent underling, Little Four.

"Boss, you're awake? That's great!" Little Four instantly appeared in Ling Lan's mindscape. He shouted with joy when he saw that Ling Lan had regained consciousness.

"Little Four, why am I stuck in my mindscape and unable to return to my physical body?" Ling Lan asked with a frowning expression.

Hearing this, Little Four immediately examined Ling Lan's spiritual power sea and her physical body. He felt the pure and limitless spiritual power within Ling Lan's mindscape. There were some terrifying forces in there that even terrified Little Four. Little Four ignored them and quickly searched through his database to find the cause of Ling Lan's predicament. In the end, he found a note in the corner of his database that was related to Ling Lan's current situation.

"Boss, it might be because the spiritual power in your mindscape is too pure. Although it's still the same s.p.a.ce, the power it is holding now is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than what it was before. Your body may not be able to withstand the spiritual power and handle it. Thus, your body instinctively rejected the original consciousness from the body." Little Four told Ling Lan the reason for her current situation.

"I can never return to my physical body anymore?" Ling Lan was stunned after hearing his explanation.

"No, as long as your body adapted to your spiritual power, your consciousness would automatically return to your physical body and take control of it once again."

"Then, how much time does my body needs to adapt to it?" Ling Lan was anxious, as she didn't forget the situation her physical body was in. There were dangers at every single corner on the outside world and her comrades were probably fighting fiercely to protect her. If she could wake up then she would be able to calm the volatile situation. Then, everyone would have a higher chance of returning home alive.

"Boss, please be patient. We have to wait now. Trying to do something would be useless anyways." Little Four hurriedly left those words and left. On the outside world, there was still a huge battle going on, so he still had to focus all of his attention to control the mecha to carefully and perfectly dodge the attacks that rained down upon them like raindrops.

Ling Lan, who was not in the real world, didn't know that team 03 was in a very precarious situation. Although they managed to destroy the small team of G.o.d-Killers because of Ling Lan's secret technique and avoid being discovered by larger teams because of Little Four's scouting skills, they were still on a very active battlefield, and thus they could not avoid Hailiyan military's blanketing search of the area, causing them to unluckily encounter some patrolling mecha operators

Qi Long looked at the enemy mechas that had already gotten around to their flanks and decisive shouted, "Break through!"

Now the situation had reached the point where the strongest individuals were occupied with each other, so they could no longer hold back anymore.

Everyone took out their sharp weapons and dove straight in.

The instant Qi Long rushed towards his opponent, he glanced at Ling Lan's mecha to check on her. He was relieved when he saw Ling Lan perfectly dodging every attack coming her way. 'It seems that although Boss is injured, he can still perform basic piloting.' He thought. However, Qi Long also knew that his Boss's severely injured body would not be able to take on the recoil of fighting a mecha battle. 'It is probably because of this reason that Boss is not taking out his sword to attack and is just focusing on evading the incoming attacks.'

Qi Long didn't even consider that Ling Lan wasn't the one piloting the mecha. Instead, it was Little Four, an intelligent ent.i.ty that had never appeared before them.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Finally, the two groups of mechas met up with each other. On one side was Qi Long and his team, on the other side was filled with mechas from Hailiya. Deafening sounds of weapons clashing sounded in the air.

Qi Long and the others needed to create a way for them to return home. Hailiya on the other hand needed to take down these enemies who had destroyed Base Ailan. There wasn't any so-called right or wrong on a battlefield. It was just the beliefs of the soldiers and the honor of their countries that made these two groups of people who would stop at nothing to strangle each other's throat.

Although Hailiya's numbers were almost twice as much team 03, team 03's capabilities were much stronger than these normal Hailiyan mecha operators. Soon, many Hailiyan mechas were shot down by team 03. As the situation became more advantageous for team 03, one member, who was constantly focused on the radar suddenly shouted, "Not good. Leader! Two large patrol teams have appeared. One 3 clicks east and the other 7 clicks to the west of us."

More Hailiyan mechas began to appear in the sky. Everyone in team 03 knew that this was only the beginning. As time pa.s.ses by, the sky would be filled with more and more Hailiyan patrol teams, and eventually surround them completely.

"Sh*t, they definitely have announced that we're here." Although Qi Long already knew that this was going to be a very possible outcome, he was still distraught when what he dreaded to happen the most, happened.

"Leader, you and your protectors leave first to escort our regiment commander to the base. We'll stay behind." Team 03's deputy leader Sun Yaofei decisively shouted towards Qi Long. Instead of all of them dying here, they might as well let their regiment commander and leader, who had a much brighter future ahead of them to leave first.

"No! How can we do that?" Qi Long didn't even think about it and just immediately rejected the idea.

"Stop being naive about the situation! Do you want our regiment commander to die here?" Sun Yaofei shouted angrily. His anger and frustrated mood made the speed of his fingers increase once again. Before he had realized, he had broken through the limit he was stuck at for decades. He then instantly and cleanly defeated his opponent.

Faced with a small team of imperial operators who could easily destroy all of them, their regiment commander decisively used a forbidden technique to save them. Now, they must do everything they could to save their severely injured regiment commander. He must let their regiment commander and leader escape from here!

Faced with Sun Yaofei's hardened resolve and att.i.tude, Qi Long only started into his eyes. Finally, he bit his lip and shouted, "Protectors, follow me to escort our regiment commander to the base."

"Yes, leader." After receiving their orders, two mechas suddenly moved away from the rest of the team. These two, along with Qi Long, flew behind Ling Lan's mecha in the shape of a fan.

Little Four was moved by this act. 'No wonder Boss didn't care about her life to save them…' He wanted to leave something for the brave soldier fighting for his Boss, thus he imitated Ling Lan's voice and spoke to the members of team 03 who were staying behind, "Remember, I'm going to wait for you all back home!"

Afterwards, Little Four piloted the mecha and quickly flew towards the direction where there was no patrol team. Although he was moved by the act, Little Four still felt that Ling Lan's safety was the most important, even if he had to abandon a few of them, it would still be worth it.

Qi Long and the other two mechas followed closely as they saw Ling Lan began to retreat.

Seeing this, Sun Yaofei felt happy. If Ling Lan had wanted to stay behind and fight, he would have been disappointed and angry. A proper regiment commander must be decisive in these types of situations, even if their actions seemed extremely cold-blooded. Plus, making this decision was the best for all of them because in reality, Ling Lan would be a useless burden to them if she had stayed behind. She should leave to lessen the burden of the people watching over her. Without carrying the burden of watching over her, the mecha operators would be able to calmly their enemies even at the face of their deaths. Plus, who knows if they could perhaps find a way out of the situation.

"A man should die in battle! Now is the time for us to serve our country. We will be staying behind. Do you regret this?" Sun Yaofei teared up but he still asked with a smile on his face.

"We don't regret it!" The members all shouted. If they were trash and died a peaceful death, they might regret it. However now, they were reborn from the ashes of their trash self and became qualified soldiers again. They could finally earn the honor of dying in battle. To them, this was already the greatest outcome they could possibly imagine. They would not have any regrets in this life.
