Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1132

Chapter 1132 What Is This!

“Commanding officer, we lost contact with the two mecha clans we sent over.” The people from Caesar noticed something amiss.

Although Little Four had blocked the signals to the command center, the command center still realized that something had happened to them after losing contact with them.

“What on earth is Lingtian? Don't try to fool me again by telling me that it is a newly advanced t.i.tled super mecha clan,” the commanding officer shouted angrily.

“I'm sorry. We can't find anything on them.” The secretary was helpless too. He had already sent an order to search for more information on Lingtian but no results were found.

“Useless!” The commanding officer flipped over his table in anger. The defeat of Knight Ace Mecha Clan had already made him furious but it still didn't affect his confidence in winning the whole battle. However, two more mecha clans had disappeared in the hands of Lingtian. They were not the most powerful mecha clan but they weren't weak either. The commanding officer finally felt a little scared of Lingtian.

Would the existence of just this mecha clan alter the result of the battle? He paced around the room while he thought of a way to get out of this situation. Should he continue fighting or should he retreat? He started to hesitate.

They were on the winning side on the main battlefield but without Knight Ace Mecha Clan stopping the reinforcements and the path of retreat, he wouldn't be able to take down Base Nebula.

That meant that if he continued the battle, it would just deplete the combat ability of Base Nebula.

Of course, this was not the main reason why he was hesitating. If he continued the battle, he was confident that he would be able to win the overall battle. Even if he couldn't take down Base Nebula, he would still gain merits. What worried him was the existence of the Lingtian which he didn't take into consideration at the start. It was a mecha clan that annihilated the Knight Ace Mecha Clan and most probably, the other two mecha clans he sent over. If they were badly injured after finis.h.i.+ng off the two mecha clans, he wasn't afraid of them. He was just afraid that they still maintained their combat ability.

The commanding officer didn't believe that Lingtian was just a newly advanced t.i.tled super mecha clan as it was just as powerful as a legendary mecha clan.

He knew what a legendary mecha clan represented. It was able to turn the tides of any battle no matter the situation they were in.

The commanding officer suddenly recalled the famous Modoka Battle written in the textbooks of Caesar. It was a battle that made the citizens of Caesar blood boil.

That year, Caesar was fighting with its neighbouring country, Hedor United Nations from the Huaxia Federation. They silently moved into the planetary sector of Hedor but they got discovered and ambushed instead. Three fleets were badly damaged and millions of mecha operators lost their lives. It was a really humiliating event to Caesar.

After Caesar knew about this, they sent three legendary mecha clans as well as the ten closest fleet to Hedor. They used one day to destroy all the fleets in Hedor's planetary sector. The Hedor soldiers were still celebrating their victory when Caesar's army arrived. More than a hundred million Hedo soldiers were killed in the span of a few days. No one survived.

This was the famous Modoka Battle.

The reason why Caesar was able to totally annihilate Hedor's army even though they had fewer men was because of the three legendary mecha clans. When they entered the battlefield, nothing was able to stop them. No matter how powerful a fleet or a mecha clan was, they were nothing in front of legendary mecha clans.

No one watching the battle would forget this image. The feeling of warm blood gus.h.i.+ng through their bodies inspired the citizens of Caesar to want to go to the battlefield themselves. They wished that they were part of the mecha clan. They wanted to kill everyone who was disrespectful to their country.

The commanding officer knew how scary a legendary mecha clan could be so he was scared to continue the battle. He was afraid Lingtian was like those legendary mecha clans in those legends. There was a unilateral agreement that restricted legendary mecha clans but there were still ways to work around it.

Caesar had sent their legendary mecha clans out secretly before. They used them to destroy a small nation that always irritated them. As for the Huaxia Federation, they weren't as pure and reasonable as what people think. Based on what he knew, they had sent a few legendary mecha clans when they took revenge on Hailiya. If not, how were they able to defeat Hailiya so easily. After all, Hailiya was a middle-sized country with a good foundation.

‘Retreat. This is the safest option. We can't get many merits if we do this, but we will be safe in the end.' The commanding officer thought to himself.

He wanted to give his order but he was still unwilling to accept defeat. He thought for a while and walked out of his office. He came to the command center.

All the advisers were standing in front of a 3D map. They were having a heated discussion.

“You've all received the latest news. What do you think?” The commanding officer went straight to the point.

“The defeat of the Knight Ace Mecha Clan means that we have no chance of taking over Base Nebula. Since we can't get what we want, we should retreat. Once we find out what happened to the Knight Ace Mecha Clan, we can discuss it again,” one of the advisers spoke out his thoughts. He didn't agree to stay here and waste time and energy.

“We have the advantage on the main battlefield. We should beat them until they get scared of us.” Another adviser had a different opinion. He felt that the Federation was bold enough to attack them because they hadn't instilled fear in their hearts yet. That was why the Federation got arrogant and felt that they could win against Caesar.

“That's not a good idea. We don't know how the Knight Ace Mecha Clan got defeated and Lingtian is still a mystery to us. If their ability is greater than what we think, we will be the ones on the losing end.” Some advisers had the same thought as the commanding officer. If Lingtian was a legendary mecha clan, they would be in a dire situation if they didn't retreat now.

“I suggest that we continue fighting. That is the only way we know how much strength the Federation is hiding.” Some people wanted to use this chance to dig out more information about the Federation.

“We can't risk the lives of our mecha operators for an uncertain possibility. I suggest that we retreat.”

The advisers started arguing. The commanding officer felt his head throbbing. He wanted to listen to his advisers because he hoped he could get some advice from them. Instead, they made him even more confused. He didn't know what to do.

“Commanding officer, what do you think?” Since they couldn't convince one another, the advisers looked at the commanding officer and waited for his decision.

The commanding officer started contemplating. Just like what one of the advisers said, is it alright to take the risk?

If he didn't find out what on earth Lingtian was, he would still regret even after they retreated, and it would turn into a devil in his heart. He gritted his teeth and ordered, “Fight. Fight until Lingtian comes out. Let me see what it really is.”
