Chapter 615

Qi Long looked at the two Lieutenant Colonels and gave them an apologetic smile . He said, “Thank you for your invitation . However, I have a team already . ”

“You have a battle team?” The two Lieutenant Colonels frowned . One of them asked, “Which team are you in?”

Qi Long said proudly, “The Lingtian Battle Team!”

“Lingtian Battle Team?” The two Lieutenant Colonels exchanged glances . They had never heard of this battle team before .

The other officers that were interested in this batch of recruits started searching for information about this battle team . However, no such team was found .

While everyone was searching for the Lingtian Battle Team, a Major walked up from behind them . “Who is Luo Lang?”

Luo Lang immediately saluted . “I am . ”

The Major looked at Luo Lang's face and body . His expression froze . In his heart, he was screaming, “Is this a girl? Why did the system say that he is a man? There must be a mistake in the rank too . Look at his scrawny body . How can he be an ace operator?”

The Major struck Luo Lang's name off his candidate list . He smiled and said, “Your results are good . Keep it up . ” He shouted again, “Who is Xie Yi?”

Xie Yi knew that the Major dismissed Luo Lang because of his face and physique . He wanted to reply him respectfully at first but he changed his mind . He placed his hands in his pocket and replied casually, “I am . What is the matter, Major?”

The Major frowned . This young man looked like a brat and it might be hard to control him . He put on an angry face and said, “Although your results are good, you cannot be too proud . You must adopt a good att.i.tude once you enter the military . ”

Xie Yi acknowledged him with a lighthearted nod causing the Major's face to turn green with anger . The other captains sneered secretly . They felt much better . The first person might not always get an advantage . Sometimes, he would just be a stepping stone for others .

The Major was angry but he didn't lose his temper . He knew that this batch of recruits might be hard to handle . Powerful people were arrogant . He was like this when he was when he was a recruit too .

He swallowed his anger and looked at the last name . He scanned the crowd before asking, “Who is Li Yingjie?”

“What is the matter, Major?” Li Yingjie raised his chin and looked at him arrogantly . He seemed worse than Xie Yi . Li Yingjie's expression and stance made people have the urge to smack him in the face .

The Major realized that among the five ace operators, Qi Long was the only one with a good att.i.tude . Ling Lan injured the team leader of a subst.i.tute team in the special forces, Lian Shaojing, the moment he entered the camp . Most battle teams would not dare to have someone like that inside their team . They would be afraid that they couldn't control him . As for the other three, they were a headache too .

Luo Lang looked too feminine . The Major suspected that there was something wrong with the system . He felt that Luo Lang must have used some secret technique to become an ace operator . He might not be as strong as a peak level special-cla.s.s operator . This was not the kind of person he wanted .

Xie Yi was frivolous . He might disregard the rules in the battle team .

Li Yingjie was an arrogant person . This kind of person would not be willing to lower his head in front of anyone . The Major felt that if he gave him the invitation, he would be rejected immediately . He would at most be a temporary team member . After a few years, he would definitely leave and form his own battle team . The Major didn't want a temporary team member .

The Major still needed an ace operator to level up his battle team . He pondered for a moment before looking at Xie Yi and said, “Xie Yi, I am the captain of the Flying Tiger Battle Team, Guo Yongan . I hope that you can come to my battle team . ”

Xie Yi looked at the Major in surprise . He didn't expect the other party to choose him after his performance just now . He looked at the pretty Luo Lang and the irritating-looking Li Yingjie . He realized that among the three of them, he was probably the best choice…

Xie Yi didn't know if he should be proud of himself . He sighed helplessly and said, “I am sorry, Major . I have a team already . ”

He had a team too? Who acted so quickly? The Major felt that he understood how the two Lieutenant Colonel must have felt just now . He gritted his teeth and asked, “Which team?”

Xie Yi shrugged and pointed at Qi Long . “Qi Long said it . The Lingtian Battle Team . ”

It was the Lingtian Battle Team again . What the h.e.l.l is the Lingtian Battle Team? Why can't they find it? Everyone was confused . People even started discussing among themselves . At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Qi Long . This shocked everyone and the noisy atrium turned quiet again .

The person that appeared was a 40 years old man . His eyes were bright and his figure was bulky . The people in the atrium could feel his domineering aura leaking out even though he didn't do anything . Everyone was not only shocked by his aura, they were stunned by his rank too . He was a Senior Colonel . He was not a mecha operator but a commanding officer who held military power .

“Qi Long, Luo Lang, Xie Yi, Li Yingjie?” The person looked at the four people . He frowned as well when he saw Luo Lang but he didn't change his decision .

“Yes, Senior officer . ” The four people tensed up and immediately saluted .

“I am the commander of the East Seven Division, Shen Rufei . You four have a special dispensation to enter my Mecha Clan . ” Shen Rufei said seriously, “The order will be accepted soon . ”

He had already sent his request to the headquarters of the 23rd Division . He felt that the headquarters would give him a reply soon . The battle teams that didn't have any ace mecha masters could apply for an allocation order but the headquarters must approve of it first .

Shen Rufei placed high importance on these recruits . His Mecha Clan suffered seriously after the war last year . He needed to replenish the manpower in his team . However, very few people in his clan advanced to an ace mecha master . He had no choice but to look for new blood among the military divisions . Ace mecha masters were a scarce resource . No division would willingly give up their ace mecha masters .

Shen Rufei was in a dire position . Hence, when he heard that there were five ace operators among the recruits, he rushed here immediately . He wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h these five ace operators before anyone could .

Qi Long, Luo Lang, and Xie Yi looked at each other with worry . Li Yingjie felt that entering a Mecha Clan was not too bad . But when he saw the unwillingness on his three friends' face, he gave up on the thought .

In the end, Qi Long replied, “Senior officer, we are sorry . We have a team already . We don't want to go to the Mecha Clan . ” Ace mecha masters who had a battle team could choose to reject an offer to enter the Mecha Clan .

“Lingtian?” Shen Rufei's expression turned dark . “Do you know that making a false report could land you in the military court? You all have a bright future ahead of yourself, don't ruin it . ”

If Shen Rufei talked to them nicely, they might have explained it to him politely . However, his threatening tone caused them to flare up .

Qi Long held Luo Lang back and said firmly, “Senior officer Shen, I can repeat myself . We have a battle team already . We don't want to go the the Mecha Clan . ”

“Is it still Lingtian?” Shen Rufei was so angry that he smiled .

“Yes . Our battle team is called Lingtian!” Qi Long replied proudly .

“Unfortunately, there is no such team in the mainframe . ” Shen Rufei sneered . “If I report you all, your military career will end here . ”

“That doesn't mean that such a team will not appear in the future,” Qi Long replied calmly .

“But you all won't have the chance anymore . There are still four hours before registration ends . By that time, if you all don't have a team, I have the power to allocate you all into my Mecha Clan . ” Shen Rufei felt embarra.s.sed . He was humiliated by four recruits! As a Senior Colonel, he was unable to accept this .

Thus, he must get these four people into his Mecha Clan . Then, he would send them to the most dangerous mission… Shen Rufei didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his plan . If these four people were powerful enough and managed to survive after their mission, he would recommend them after a few years and let them enjoy the position and glory that they deserved . He was not so unscrupulous .

Some captains wanted to come out and speak up for the recruits . However, they got pulled back by those people who knew about Shen Rufei's background . Those four recruits were powerful but they were not irreplaceable . It was not worth to offend Shen Rufei because of them .

The captains that got pulled back gave up on their intention after listening to the other captains . They were told that Shen Rufei was a grand-nephew of a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator . He was also the nephew of the Second Marshal . Even General Ling Xiao would give the Second Marshal some face as long as Shen Rufei didn't go too overboard .

The time pa.s.sed quickly . Two hours later, the four recruits still didn't hear any news from Ling Lan . The rest of the recruits had finished their registration . Only Qi Long and his gang was left . Everyone focused on them and waited for them to act .

“What? Are you all afraid to register now?” Shen Rufei scoffed when he saw the situation . “Are you all afraid to expose your lies? Lingtian Battle Team? Haha, you all are just a bunch of cowards!”

“There are no cowards in Lingtian!” A firm voice rang through the quiet registration hall .

Two people appeared . One of them was bulky with a square-shaped face . There was a hint of malicious intent on his face . The other one was skinny and his face was half-covered by a mask . His aura was gentle . His eyes were bright like the mesmerizing stars in the sky .

“Ah, it's them . ” Many people gasped .

Shen Rufei looked at them intently . “Zhao Jun, Li Lanfeng . Why are you all interfering in my affair? Did Nameless ask you two to come?”

Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng were two of the most outstanding recruits three years ago . Within these three years, they had gathered many military achievements and got recognized by the headquarters many times . Shen Rufei didn't want to offend them . After all, they had Nameless behind their back .

Nameless was not a person . It was the name of a battle team . It was the only five-star non-special forces battle team . For some reason, this team was able to take in the three most outstanding recruits that year .

Of course, this was not enough for Shen Rufei to fear them . Shen Rufei knew from his grandfather, which was a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator, that the Nameless Battle Team was a subset of a legendary battle team . The leader of the legendary battle team was also a G.o.d-cla.s.s operator .

His grandfather even guessed that the G.o.d-cla.s.s operator might be Ling Xiao! Ling Xiao was the Regiment Commander of the 23rd Division . He was the one who held the most power in the 23rd Division .

“We didn't come here because of the Nameless Battle Team . ” Zhao Jun glared maliciously at Shen Rufei . Although Shen Rufei had a higher rank than him, he was not in the same division as him so Zhao Jun was not afraid of him .

“Senior Colonel Shen, you humiliated one of our team members . Shouldn't you give us an explanation?” Li Lanfeng smiled and said kindly . However, his words were not kind at all .

Everyone gasped in surprise . Their team member? Did Nameless Battle Team took a fancy on Qi Long and the other recruits? They remembered where Li Lanfeng came from . Seemed like the senior brother planned everything for his junior brothers .

Shen Rufei was furious . He felt humiliated by the Nameless Battle Team . However, he didn't dare to offend anyone from the Nameless Battle Team . He directed his anger towards Qi Long and the recruits . If they told him that they had entered Nameless, he wouldn't have threaten them and be humiliated now .

He must teach these bunch of brats a lesson! Shen Rufei thought to himself .

“Are you unwilling to give me an explanation?” Li Lanfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Rufei sarcastically . Li Lanfeng knew Shen Rufei's background… but so what? He would not show mercy to anyone who humiliated his team member .

Shen Rufei had an idea . He replied immediately, “I am talking about Lingtian Battle Team, not the Nameless Battle Team . ” He didn't want to provoke Nameless . Provoking them meant provoking G.o.d-cla.s.s operator Ling Xiao .

“Lingtian? Senior Colonel Shen, you seem used to humiliating people . Do you think that the Lingtian Battle Clan can be easily bullied?” Li Lanfeng gave a cold smile .

Zhao Jun kicked the chair beside him . One of its leg broke . He broke two other legs of the chair and pa.s.sed them to Li Lanfeng . He took the other one and knocked it against his palm continuously . “Senior Colonel Shen, since you humiliated us in front of so many people, Lingtian Battle Team will send you an invitation to a armed melee challenge . We will settle our dispute with a armed melee challenge . ”

In order to increase the strength and battle fervour of the soldiers, the military allowed battle teams to challenge each other . Of course, armed melee challenges without any reason were not allowed . However, if a member of a battle team was humiliated by other battle teams, the team where the humiliated member came from could send a armed melee challenge to the other team . The other team was not allowed to reject the challenge .
