It Is Not Easy To Be A Man After Travelling To The Future 894 Amulet!

Similar to Ling Xiao, he wanted to save his son. On the surface, he seemed to have broken ties with his son because his son had entered the 23rd division without his permission. In actual fact, both he and Ling Xiao knew that this was all an act, done to prevent the Third Marshal from suspecting the relationship between them. Among his three sons, he loved Qi Long the most.

"Ling Xiao, what on earth is the amulet you mentioned?" Qi Yaoyang muttered to himself. He remembered the secret meeting he had with Ling Xiao two weeks ago after the conference ended.

"Ling Xiao, why did you announce to everyone that Ling Lan is your son? Aren't you worried that after Ling Lan's ident.i.ty is exposed, he would be in more danger?" Qi Yaoyang was puzzled about Ling Xiao's decision.

Ling Xiao was helpless. "I can't hide it anymore. If I don't say it, the people supporting the Second and Third Marshal wouldn't let me go. They had already planned to force me to expose Ling Lan's ident.i.ty in this conference."

They wanted to use this conference to paint him in a way that he was abusing his power for personal gains, even the First Marshal might have agreed to this plan. Ling Xiao knew his position in the hearts of the citizens of the country. The three marshals probably didn't expect him to become so powerful that he could threaten their position after the G.o.d creation mission.

"Time is everything. I don't want to continue arguing with them. Since I can't hide it, I shall satisfy them." Ling Xiao sneered. If he couldn't overcome such small setbacks, how could he achieve his ambition?

"Ling Xiao, tell me the truth. Were you really confident when you said that they would last for more than three weeks or were you just taking a gamble?" Qi Yaoyang asked seriously. He wanted to know the truth so that he could make the correct arrangements.

"I'm confident. I gave Ling Lan an amulet." Ling Xiao's expression was complicated. He was worried at that time so to prevent anything from happening to Ling Lan, he gave her an amulet. He also hoped that his amulet didn't have to be used but his dear daughter was an unlucky person.

Qi Yaoyang wanted to know what the amulet was but Ling Xiao wouldn't give him any more information. He only urged him to hurry up. If they were too late, even with the amulet, it would be all for naught.

They were able to enter Planet Haijiao's atmosphere after 5 days of continuous travelling. It had been 10 days since the conference.

"You must hang in there. Don't disappoint us," Qi Yaoyang prayed in his heart.

He took a deep breath and asked his adjutant. "Have you found the position of the Flying Dragon Special Forces?"

"The Flying Dragon Special Forces didn't send us any updates and we are also unable to find their traces." The adjutant frowned.

"That old fellow always does this. However, this is good too. If we can't find them, everyone else won't be able to find them too. This will prevent their position from being exposed and Hailiya will not bring forward the date for the final battle." Qi Yaoyang didn't want to know the position of the Flying Dragon Special Forces at all. Thus, he was satisfied when he heard what his adjutant had said.

Before Qi Yaoyang left with the reinforcements, he had a discussion with Ling Xiao about the situation on Planet Haijiao. Ling Xiao blatantly rejected the Third Marshal's decision but actually in his heart, he agreed with what the Third Marshal had said. His judgment was the same too. Hailiya was using Planet Haijiao as a bait to lure the reinforcements.

The only way this scheme could fail was the surviving bases on Planet Haijiao lasting until the reinforcements arrive. Once these bases fall, the Federation would be at a severe disadvantage. They wouldn't be able to help the people on Planet Haijiao and the entire fleet might even be destroyed.

However, if Hailiya used all their soldiers and attacked the bases, the surviving bases wouldn't stand a chance. They could only rely on the Flying Dragon Special Forces and hoped that they were able to sneak into Planet Haijiao and change the tides.

Qi Yaoyang suppressed his worry and placed his hopes on the missing Flying Dragon Special Forces and the amulet Ling Xiao mentioned. The only thing he could do now was to move towards Planet Haijiao at the fastest speed possible.

Three days pa.s.sed by. The supplies they got after sacrificing so many lives managed to solve their severe lack of food and water problem. However, the people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan didn't have the time to grieve about the cost of getting those supplies, as they needed to resist against continuous attacks by Hailiya.

Hailiya was extremely angry that Base 013 destroyed Base Ailan. They would have ordered their main army to attack Base 013 and flattened it if they didn't have other plans for it.

However, to vent their anger, Hailiya chose to attack it continuously all throughout the day. If they couldn't let them die from hunger, they would let them die from exhaustion.

After three days of continuous attack, everyone in Base 013 was exhausted. They were on the verge of breaking down. Unfortunately, their situation was just getting worse. More and more enemy troops stationed themselves outside their base, forming an army ten times the normal size. Everyone had a heavy heart when they saw this. They all felt a sense of despair. 'Are we going to die here today?'

At the command center of Base 013, all the regiment commanders and the commanding officers of the three bases were present. They looked at the screen which was showing the situation outside the base with serious expressions.

"Looks like they are starting the final attack soon." The commanding officer of Base 012 had a dejected look. He wasn't the only one. Everyone knew that Base 013 had reached its limit. They wouldn't be able to resist this attack.

"This means that our reinforcements had arrived," Ling Lan replied calmly, as she had already expected this to happen. Their hardest time was when their reinforcements would arrive.

"How are we supposed to last until the reinforcements arrive?" One of the regiment commanders stood up furiously. "My soldiers have reached their limit. They have only rested for a total of four hours within these past three days. They can't handle it anymore."

"I agree! The enemies stationed outside have increased ten times. Anyone who goes out now will die. I won't let my soldiers die such meaningless deaths!" another regiment commander sprung up and shouted too.

The rest of the regiment commander remained silent. Just like these two regiment commanders, they didn't have the courage to continue fighting anymore. No one wanted to die. If they stayed at the base, they would still die after the base was destroyed but they could at least survive for a longer period of time. They still had a chance to survive.

Ling Lan scanned the crowd. Everyone looked down when her cold gaze went pa.s.sed them. They didn't dare to look straight at her.

"In that case, we'll stop fighting." Ling Lan stood up and left with the leaders of 250 Ace Mecha Clan.

Everyone looked at Ling Lan's back in shock. 'Did the domineering and arrogant Regiment Commander Ling Lan just decided to give up?'

A few seconds later, an uproar occurred in the command center. These people were afraid of death, so they gave up. However, they still didn't want Base 013 to give up without doing anything.
