Chapter 907 Proud!
Soon, the adjutant found all the relevant documents for the Third Marshal. The First Marshal and the Second Marshal just sat calmly on their seats as they watched the scene unfold itself.
As the Third Marshal continued to flip through the documents, his frown slowly disappeared, turning into a smile on his face as he said, “Although you didn’t break the rules this time, the responsibility of a god-class operator is stated here too. You need to think of a way to shut the United Nations up.”
He was furious just now so he forgot that there was a difference between god-class operators and god-class mechas. Now, after calming down, he had to admit that Ling Xiao did a pretty great job of reading between the lines.
In the Human United Agreement, whether it was the broad framework or the detailed clauses, nothing was written about god-class mechas. There was nothing to state that god-class mechas were not allowed to enter the battlefield. However, it was written that a god-class operator must be responsible for all the implications created by his god-class mecha.
This clause also forbade all imperial mechas from undergoing any modifications and disguising themselves as lower-level mechas to enter the battlefield. Once such a thing was found out, the Intergalactic United Nations would severely punish all the offenders and the United Nations’ status of the offender might be removed too. This would mean that the offender’s country would be alienated.
This clause appeared because many countries noticed that a portion of the mecha operators had the ability to become an imperial operator but they purposely suppressed their ability and didn’t register themselves as imperial operators. They continued operating an ace mecha in the battlefield. Many countries were afraid that their enemy would use this loophole to send in their imperial operators so they added in this clause to prevent these hidden imperial operators from entering the battlefield.
After what Ling Xiao did, new clauses would most likely be added to the Human United Agreement. The appearance of god-class mechas would be officially banned from battlefields. In the past, everyone thought that no imperial operators would be willing to seek death and jump levels to operate a god-class mecha. They also didn’t believe that any god-class operator would pass their god-class mecha to other people too. Plus, no country wanted the Human United Agreement to cover everything perfectly. Hence, they covered their eyes on certain loopholes. Ling Xiao was thus able to make use of these loopholes.
Ling Xiao smiled at what the Third Marshal said. “This is the job of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It’s not something we have to consider.” “This was what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was supposed to do, right? If they couldn’t even handle a small thing like this, they should all just be fired.’
As someone who managed to become the Third Marshal of the military, he was not an unintelligent person. He appeared forceful at the start because he was afraid that an Intergalactic War would ensue which would put everyone in the Federation in danger. Now, when this fear was cleared, he agreed with what Ling Xiao had said. This kind of matter should be passed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Actually, the Third Marshal targeted Ling Xiao so many times not because he had something against Ling Xiao. It was because their way of doing things and their beliefs were extremely different. This was a clash of two different beliefs and ideals.
The Third Marshal represented the pigeon faction that advocated peace. They didn’t want to start any unnecessary wars so the decisions the Third Marshal made was to prevent wars from happening and decrease the casualties. Ling Xiao belonged to the eagle faction. This was the main power behind the First Marshal too. This faction believed in overpowering their opponent with force. Any country that dared to provoke them should be punished by force. The people in this faction never like to take a step back.
For the past few years, the First Marshal’s eagle faction took over the military. This was why the Federation was constantly in wars.

The Second Marshal was in the middle between the two of them. He was the lubricant between the two factions. The three factions balanced each other out and made sure that the military’s decision wouldn’t be too tilted towards a certain faction, allowing the military to move on stably.
“Old Yang, since you have nothing against Ling Xiao’s mecha being there, let’s talk about the next topic.” The First Marshal noticed that Ling Xiao had settled the Third Marshal so he stepped out to proceed with the conversation.
“I’m just worried that Hailiya would throw all rules aside and send their god-class operators out. Then, they would push the blame to us,” The Third Marshal revealed his worry.
“They won’t. They have only two god-class operators. They won’t dare to take this bet,” the First Marshal replied with certainty.
He had just received news that Hailiya had not sent their god-class operators out. This meant that their opponent understood the Human United Agreement well and knew that they couldn’t send their ultimate weapons.
The Third Marshal looked at the First Marshal and pursed his lips. Just now, he realized that he had accidentally stepped into the trap made by this sly old fox. The First Marshal wanted to call for this emergency meeting too but he didn’t. He made use of him to do all the work.
“Since we’ve confirmed the existence of Base 013, we need to discuss sending more reinforcements and preparing our retaliation.” The First Marshal finally revealed his true intentions. His old and aged eyes lit up brightly. A purple smog-like killing intent could be seen swirling around in his pupils. “The war on Planet Haijiao has been ongoing for many years. It’s time to end it.
Then, he explained his plan of retaliation.
“I agree. I agree…” More than half of the ten great generals agreed to the plan. They were all from the eagle faction.
Ling Xiao raised his right hand too. He replied firmly, “I agree!”
‘Those who dared to harm his daughter must pay the price!’ Ling Xiao didn’t plan to let the Hailiyan army off from the very beginning.
The Second Marshal calmly looked at the First Marshal. Then, he raised one of his hands. “I agree.”
Since the Second Marshal had stated his stand, it meant that the plan of retaliation was going to be in motion soon. The Third Marshal raised his hand unwillingly too. This happens all the time. In the end, everything will go according to the First Marshal’s plan.’ The Third Marshal felt the distance between the First Marshal and him again. This distance was not something he could catch up with just by working together with the Second Marshal.
While the higher authorities within the military initiated the plan of retaliation, the citizens of the Federation suddenly saw a huge circular creature appearing and helping (Belief). They also saw the mechas from Base 013 coming out and protecting (Belief] fearlessly. Everyone was touched by these soldiers. At the same time, they were angry that the reinforcements were still not there. They cried as they saw the soldiers from Base 013 sacrificing themselves one by one to provide (Belief) a safe pathway to the base.
Where are the reinforcements?
“It’s the Flying Dragon Special Forces,” someone shouted excitedly when he saw the silver dots in the air.
Numerous silver mechas flew down from the sky. All the citizens of the Federation raised their arms and shouted in happiness. They were happy that the Flying Dragon Special Forces finally came. They were also proud of the soldiers of Base 013 who managed to persevere until the arrival of the reinforcements.
Soldiers of Base 013, you’re all the heroes of the Federation. We are proud of you all!
