"Good, good, what a good move!" Du Mingyi was so angry that he started laughing. Crack! The entire table collapsed under the pressure of Du Mingyi's trembling hand.
'Ling Lan, since you are so arrogant, don't blame me for not showing you mercy!' Du Mingyi gritted his teeth. He hated people who had powerful backgrounds. That was why he didn't like Song Yiqing and used him to his advantage without any hesitation. However, now, he hated Ling Lan even more. Hence, he decided that he would not provide them any supplies at all from now on. He wanted to see how arrogant 250 Ace Mecha Clan could be if they didn't have food and weapons.
"Senior colonel, what about today's dinner?" Dong Jiahong asked worriedly. There was no more food. What was he supposed to serve them?
"There is no food left so let's go" Du Mingyi flicked his sleeve and left.
When Du Mingyi left, the other officers knew today's dinner had ended. They shook their heads and left. Of course, they were unhappy at the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Even if he didn't reach a general consensus with the commanding officer, he still shouldn't have taken all their food away.At the chairman table, Xu Shiming and Cui Yunxuan shook their heads when they saw the mess in front of them.
"You have been watching the show for such a long time. What do you think of the new Regiment Commander Ling?" Cui Yunxuan asked in a low voice.
"This is not someone easy to handle. Senior Colonel Du met a difficult character this time," Xu Shiming replied.
"If he continues what he is doing, Base 013 will eventually be internally destroyed one day. We need a strong character such as him to teach him a lesson." Cui Yunxuan smiled coldly. He didn't like this commanding officer.
"We can't form that conclusion now. This Regiment Commander Ling is just too domineering. He left no leeway for himself, and that is not a good thing. Let's observe him for a while longer." Xu Shiming frowned. He didn't like how Du Mingyi treated the base as his own house but Ling Lan's domineering attitude was not to his liking too. This person took away all the food that was meant to be served to the hardworking and hungry soldiers. He was so hungry that he felt like cursing.
"That's true. We only met him once. We need to understand him further. I hope 250 Ace Mecha Clan is a capable mecha clan. I don't want Base 013 to be the first base to be destroyed by our enemy." 250 Ace Mecha Clan attacked the most powerful mecha team of the base, the Evil Wind Mecha Team, the moment they arrived. If 250 Mecha Clan was not strong enough to protect the base themselves after they had destroyed the Evil Wind Mecha Team, this entire base would be in danger. Cui Yunxuan knew that they were just small characters. They were unable to resist against the advanced weapons of the Hailiya army.
"If the two ace mecha clans stationed at the bases beside us didn't help us, our base would have been destroyed. I believe that by this time, the Hailiya army should have noticed the oddity with our base. We will definitely face a harder time when they attack us again in the near future." Xu Shiming sighed. They were in a dire situation now but their commanding officer was only worried about his position. He felt dejected. He shook his head and put on his military cap."The next battle might be our hardest battle. There are too few people in 250 Ace Mecha Clan!" Cui Yunxuan frowned as he sat up and took his military cap from his adjutant.
"Our base is the most dangerous but they still sent a broken mecha clan here…" Xu Shiming smiled bitterly, "I wonder if that problem stems from our commanding officer or is there a problem with the higher authorities."
"You already know the answer. It's because of Du Mingyi." Cui Yunxuan scoffed. 'If he hadn't offended someone he shouldn't, would their base be in such a bad state and have resources be reduced too?'
Xu Shiming patted Cui Yunxuan's shoulder. "Don't be angry. Since we are already here, we have to put in our utmost effort and prepare for the next battle. Let's hope that we will still be able to see each other again." No one knew if they were able to come back alive in the next battle. After Xu Shiming finished speaking, he gathered his men and left. Cui Yunxuan left with his team too. They returned to their respective camps.
The welcoming dinner ended on a bad note but all the officers in the base saw how domineering and powerful 250 Ace Mecha Clan was. Even the heir of the 13th division, Qi Long, was inside it too. Thus, all of them cleverly chose to sit at the side and didn't participate in the feud between Qi Long and Song Yiqing.
On the other hand, the members of Lingtian were carrying their spoils of victory happily back to their camp.
Lin Zhong-qing felt that something was amiss with them. He turned and looked at Li Yingjie's team. The food they were carrying was much more than what his team was carrying. His heart dropped, "Li Yingjie, how much did you take?" Lin Zhong-qing had a bad feeling in his stomach.
Li Yingjie said proudly, "You left most of the food behind. Luckily, I was smart enough to bring all of it with me."
The veins on Lin Zhong-qing's forehead popped. 'They left those behind so that they wouldn't offend the rest of the soldiers at the base. This fellow… he took everything without informing them!'
"Li Yingjie, you bastard! I will kill you!" Lin Zhong-qing rushed up to Li Yingjie and kicked him.
"Hey, what are you doing! Why are you being so unreasonable?" Li Yingjie dodged the attacks with two huge containers in his hand. "Stop kicking me! The food is going to spill out!"
Lin Zhong-qing stopped immediately when he heard that. He looked at the two huge containers of food in Li Yingjie's hand. He couldn't bear to waste them. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I'll let you off for now!" Once they go back to their camp, he would teach this person a lesson.
Li Yingjie still didn't realize he did something stupid. He happily left with his two huge containers of food. Lin Zhong-qing looked at the bastard's back, and he wanted to cry in frustration. 'Sob, did he mess up Boss's plan?'
The thoughtful and thorough Lin Zhong-qing finally made a mistake because of Li Yingjie!
'I should have known, Li Yingjie is my mortal enemy! Nothing good will happen when I am together with him! I must keep my distance from him from now on!' Lin Zhong-qing made a decision quietly.
"Will it be a problem if we offended the commanding officer of the base?" Li Lanfeng asked worriedly when they arrived at their camp.
Ling Lan glanced at him and replied calmly, "As long as we don't bow down to him, he will always try to pull some tricks on us. Rather than wasting effort to scheme against him, it's better to distance ourselves right from the start and lay everything on the table clearly. That way, it won't seem weird if the commotion got bigger."
If the commanding officer of this base was a capable and smart person, she didn't mind following him. But, Du Mingyi didn't have to right to make her bow down to him.
