Chapter 1165 No Prisoners?

Seeing the audience return to silence, the host looked at the time on his communicator and saw that the time for the conference was about to end, but before he could make an announcement.

The doors of the conference room slinged open. A group of soldiers in the uniforms of the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee appeared in front of everyone.

“They’re here.” Ling Lan and company steeled their focus when they saw it was the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee. They were ready for a fierce battle.

“They’re here.” Some of the officers who knew the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee were coming finally let out a sigh of relief. They were right on time.

“Why is the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee here?” The host of the conference saw the uninvited guests and instantly frowned.

“Sorry for the intrusion, Major General Gao.” The person who spoke was a major general. Seeing the host, Major General Gao, he politely responded to his impolite intrusion.

When Major General Gao saw the people who rudely barged in had a good att.i.tude, he felt a bit better about the situation, but he still had a heavy tone in his voice. “Major General Bai, we have important matters to decide here. If you have something to say, please do so immediately.”

“I have incriminating evidence about someone here. After investigating it, the evidence is indeed real.” Major General Bai revealed his right palm and a microchip was on it.

After hearing Major General Bai’s words, those who didn’t know the truth all had slight changes in their expressions. Everyone in the audience started to feel their hands were getting clammy as the nervous feeling wrecked through their body.

Major General Gao’s eyes suddenly became focused. He asked in a serious tone, “Who is the person in question?”

Major General Bai’s gaze fixed on calm Ling Lan and said slowly, “Major General Ling, can you please explain the contents of the report?”

Hearing the inconspicuous question, Ling Lan tapped the table in a rhythmic manner and said plainly, “Explain what report?”

“We have received a report informing us that you gave the order to kill the already surrendered soldiers in the battle of the Nebula Boundary even after they were considered prisoners of war.” Major General Bai spoke out the contents of the report with great force in his tone of voice.

His words made all of the officers in the audience audibly gasp. Killing prisoners of war was against the humanitarian code. Once this claim was proven to be true, it would stain Ling Lan’s reputation forever. Ling Lan’s future would definitely be destroyed. Not only that, the most serious part was that it would affect Ling Xiao.

The Federation would also get into big trouble because of it. The Federation might even get attacked by other nations. The image of justice and righteousness they had built since its inception would collapse in an instant.

“I can only say the claim is completely absurd,” Ling Lan responded calmly.

“However, after our a.n.a.lysis of the evidence we have received, the claim is 70% likely to be true,” Major General Bai said in a serious tone.

“Your a.n.a.lysis?” Ling Lan smiled coldly. “Those who weren’t even on the battlefield actually have the audacity to a.n.a.lyze whether the report of the battle I have given is real? You are joking, right?”

Hearing such mocking words, Major General Bai wrinkled his brows. He bit his lip and said, “We are looking for the truth. We have come here in the hopes that you can personally explain the report we have received. I hope Major General Ling will cooperate with the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee.”

“In order to ensure fairness, this report will be shown to the public. Please excuse us, Major General Ling.” Major General Bai handed the microchip to his subordinate. His subordinate immediately walked to the optical supercomputer of the conference room and inserted the microchip in it.

A virtual screen was displayed behind Ling Lan and not long after, a recording of the battle was played.

It was the battle of Lingtian and Knight Ace Mecha Clan. The person who was responsible for the recording of the video was probably a member of Lingtian. In this recording, they could clearly hear Knight Ace Mecha Clan surrendering and also hear Lingtian accepting the surrender. However, after Knight Ace Mecha Clan had given up on defending themselves, Lingtian still executed an order to kill. That voice which called for the order to kill was clearly Ling Lan’s voice.

“Huu” After seeing this, everyone was in an uproar. They all had a look of shock as they looked at the calm and cold-looking young man on stage.

“Major General Ling, please explain what you saw.” Major General Bai sighed. If it wasn’t for the fact that someone gave him this video recording and after his hackers a.n.a.lyzed it many times to eliminate the possibility of it being fake, he wouldn’t have come to make such a scene. After all, the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee was also proud of the fact that they had wiped out Knight Ace Mecha Clan. Murder? Major General Bai wasn’t someone who believed in peace on a life-or-death battlefield. Why would it matter if some annoying prisoners were killed? In his eyes, this matter was not a problem.

It was clear that someone wanted to go against the Ling family. Condemning for mindless murder was the most effective way of attacking them. Major General Bai knew he was just a chess piece that was being used to create chaos, but no matter how much he didn’t want to do this, he still had to go against his own guts and show himself.

“That’s something that’s not possible. I never even appeared on the battlefield,” Ling Lan said calmly. “I suspect that your video recording has been meddled by hackers.”

“But our hackers didn’t find any traces of the video being meddled,” replied Major General Bai.

“There’s more than meets the eye. Are you sure your hackers’ judgment is accurate?” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows.

“That’s why I said I’m only 70% sure of it,” Major General Bai replied in a more easy-going tone.

Ling Lan smirked slightly. That was enough to prove that the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee was quite angry that they were being used. They didn’t want to go with the arrangements made by the hands behind the curtains.

“How about this? I also have a video recording with me. This video was recorded by Major General Liu. Please watch it.” Ling Lan turned her wrist and a microchip was placed between her right index finger and middle finger.

Luo Lang moved quickly and arrived beside Ling Lan. Ling Lan handed the microchip to Luo Lang and Luo Lang moved quickly again. He arrived at the optical supercomputer and played the video in microchip.

It was clear that the video recording of the battle Ling Lan was going to show was more intense and b.l.o.o.d.y than the one Major General Bai had shown. It was because Major General Liu, Liu Furong, was on the front lines personally. It was a fierce battle. From his point of view, the video would show mechas exploding from time to time. Some were from Knight Ace Mecha Clan and the rest from Lingtian. Everyone in the audience felt as if their heart were being ripped to shreds especially when a mecha operator from Lingtian lost their life. They would occasionally shout out the Huaxia Federation’s chant and fight to their last breath.

This scene made many of the military officials tear up. They remembered the time when they were on the battlefield themselves and how pure their hearts were. There weren’t any complicated thoughts like they currently had. They only had one thought and that was to protect and battle for the nation they loved, even if they were to sacrifice their lives.

The intense and depressing battles with countless deaths wouldn’t just stop because of their emotions. Everyone just went crazy to forget about the pain in their hearts. That was because they were about to face the enemy who killed their comrades, so they had to push aside all emotions for revenge. No matter if it was Knight Ace Mecha Clan or Lingtian, they all had this thought in their minds when they battled.

They saw the last few remaining individuals from Knight Ace Mecha Clan still pouncing towards their opponents, choosing to cause mutual destruction. The people watching the video recording now knew what Knight Ace Mecha Clan was like. They were indeed the 18th rank mecha clan in the Caesar Empire. They fought to their last breath and didn’t give up.

Ling Lan then looked towards Major General Bai and said, “You can have your hackers a.n.a.lyze whether this video has been meddled with or not.”

Ling Lan was definitely not worried about the video Little Four had created. If the Federation’s hackers actually found something… then Little Four would lose his

job.
