With the addition of Han Junzhan and the First Legion, dealing with these zerg became much easier. Soon, all the zerg that had been relentlessly pursuing Luo Lingxing and the others were wiped out, and Gao Zhiquan and the others also benefited from Luo Lingxing’s presence and entered the First Legion’s spaceship.
After entering the spaceship, Gao Zhiquan and the others, who were originally lively and talkative, all sat up straight, not daring to say a word or make a move. They were even more reserved than regular soldiers.
Besides, how could they not be reserved?
Where was this place? This was the First Legion’s exclusive spaceship, and it was filled with soldiers led by Major General Han. Every single one of them was the goal that these military academy students aspired and strove for. This spaceship was the goal of many military academy students, and everyone longed to one day be qualified to board this spaceship.
They boarded this spaceship before they even graduated, and despite the circumstances, they were still very excited.
Zhang Xuan found the reserved students amusing and couldn’t resist teasing them for a while. However, they still had a mission to complete, so they couldn’t do much. After sending Gao Zhiquan and the others to meet up with their instructors at the military academy, they still needed to deal with the zerg in other places.
“I’ll go with you,” Luo Lingxing said to Han Junzhan, not in a questioning tone.
The training ended early, and there wasn’t much to do after returning. The main thing was that Luo Lingxing was worried about Han Junzhan, and they hadn’t seen each other for many days. When they met again, Luo Lingxing realized that he still missed Han Junzhan very much. He didn’t know how many days this mission would last, so he followed his heart and offered to go together.
Han Junzhan was naturally very happy about Luo Lingxing’s suggestion, because he didn’t want to be separated from Luoluo either. Although they were facing the zerg, according to the feedback, the zerg were only coming to test the waters, and their numbers were not large. He was absolutely confident that he could protect Luoluo.
So, the Jun Ling couple decided to deal with the zerg together. Just as Han Junzhan said, the number of zerg that came this time was indeed not large, and those that landed were mainly concentrated on the training planet. It was unknown whether the zerg intended to use this planet as a breakthrough point or had some other purpose.
After dealing with the zerg on the training planets, the edge of the Kedama system was met with a full-scale zerg attack. The number of zerg was quite large. The First Legion’s men were serious upon seeing this, and were preparing for a great battle with the zerg. However, once on the battlefield, they discovered that the zerg this time were far too weak. They hadn’t even warmed up yet, and the war was already over. This left the First Legion’s soldiers, who were ready for a major battle, completely bewildered.
“What’s going on with these zerg?” “Why would they send such a weakling?” “Are they here to lead the charge?” A soldier couldn’t help but ask the question that had been on his mind.
“They might be trying to lure us in. We can’t let our guard down. There might be something even more powerful waiting for us.”
“That’s perfect. I haven’t had enough yet. I just warmed up and I feel like I have nowhere to vent my energy, so I’m going to take it out on those bugs.”
“Me too.”
The soldiers were full of fighting spirit and energy, just waiting for those damned zerg to attack so they could vent their frustration. However, their wishes were destined to be in vain, because after the zerg were repelled this time, there was no second wave for several days. According to the reports from the scouting troops, there were no zerg left near the Kedama system. In other words, all the zerg that came to the Kedama system had been annihilated, and there were no follow-up troops.
“Damn, these bugs are awful! What are they doing here?” “Is this just to annoy us?” Junwu said angrily, still venting his pent-up energy.
“With the zerg’s strength, there’s absolutely no need for us to come. Are all these troops stationed in the Kedama system useless? They can’t even handle this little thing?” Jun Yi said with a frown, dissatisfied.
If the garrison commanders of the Kedama system were here and heard this conversation, they would definitely cry foul. They requested support because they had fought against the zerg and knew their strength. But they never imagined that the zerg would be like powerless little insects against the First Legion. It wasn’t that the zerg were too weak, but that the First Legion was too strong!
“It’s not that they misjudged us, but rather that our strength has increased.” Lin Mingying, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, pointing out the truth and causing the soldiers to be stunned. Even he himself was somewhat impressed.
Only then did they realize that their strength was indeed different from before. They had practiced the secret manual given to them by Young Master Luo and had also trained on Planet Seyfert for a period of time, which had indeed improved their strength.
Although they all knew that their strength had improved, they hadn’t realized how much they had improved since everyone’s strength had generally increased. It was only after fighting the zerg that the extent of their improved training became apparent.
They hadn’t expected their strength to have increased so much. In the past, fighting the same number of zerg required much more time and effort, and they would even lose several mechas and suffer injuries. However, this time the victory was too easy, leading them to believe that the zerg were too weak, without considering that it was because they were too strong.
“Holy crap, is this for real?” Everyone was still a bit stunned, realizing all that their strength had increased so much was like a dream.
“Is it really not because the zerg that came this time were too weak?” When he fought those zerg, he hardly needed firearms. Mere melee weapons were enough to wipe out large groups in one go. It wasn’t this easy before.
The other soldier also seemed a little incredulous, given the stark contrast between this and previous incidents.
“Isn’t that obvious? Did you think all your training these past few days was for nothing?” “The things Young Master Luo brought out were all top-notch. Now that his strength has improved, you bunch of kids still dare to doubt him.” Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but give each of them a flick on the forehead.
Although everyone had been beaten, their faces were filled with uncontrollable elation.
Their strength had truly improved, and they were completely different from before. Now, everyone was eager to go out and have a good fight with the zerg to vent their joy.
Unfortunately, the zerg did not give them that opportunity this time.
The efficiency and minimal losses in this battle against the zerg surprised not only the First Legion’s lack of self-awareness, but also the local garrison, the supporting garrison, and even the military headquarters far away on the Emperor Star.
However, the local garrison and the troops that came to support them didn’t know what was going on. They simply assumed that the First Legion was just that powerful. After all, becoming the First Legion of the Emperor Star was the goal of many soldiers, and after experiencing this, they admired the soldiers of the First Legion even more.
But those in the military knew that after their initial surprise, they were overjoyed and grateful to Luo Lingxing.
Without the cultivation techniques and special training plans provided by Luo Lingxing, their army’s strength would not have been able to improve so much in such a short time. They didn’t notice it during regular training, but this advantage became apparent once they faced the enemy.
“Marshal, Luo Lingxing is absolutely a treasure. Having him is a blessing for our military and for the empire,” Lieutenant General Zhou Yi couldn’t help but praise.
He had felt that the kid was extraordinary before. Although his physical level was not high, his fighting ability was very strong. He never expected that the kid would be so good at instructing others.
“Ever since Luo Lingxing shared his cultivation techniques with everyone, everyone’s strength has improved significantly. This time, they even seemed to handle the zerg with ease. They will definitely be able to play a greater role on the battlefield in the future. Perhaps they can even completely defeat the zerg and make them afraid to provoke us humans again. When that happens, it will truly be a blessing for all mankind.” Another general who supported Luo Lingxing added.
“How could such a good guy end up marrying into the Han family? If Luoluo weren’t married yet, I would definitely have my son pursue him, haha…”
“Tch, don’t even think about it. If Marshal Han heard you say that, you’d be dead for sure. Besides, he already has a child. It’s too late for you,” another person gave him a disdainful look and said.
The person who had spoken earlier touched his nose and said, “I was just saying my thoughts.”
“Marshal, I propose that Luo Lingxing be promoted to captain. His contributions to the military are more than sufficient,” Zhou Yi suggested.
The others were stunned by what they heard.
“He was only recently promoted to lieutenant, how can he be promoted further?” someone immediately objected.
“Why can’t he be promoted? Everyone has witnessed the improvement in the strength of the First Legion. This time, the zerg was just a small test, but who can guarantee that the zerg won’t launch a large-scale invasion in the next moment? At that time, the military’s improved strength will be the greatest weapon against the zerg. This contribution alone is enough to give Luo Lingxing a very high military rank.”
“Actually, from the beginning I thought it would be fine to just give him the rank of captain. His contributions to the army are definitely more than just a captain. But you all disagreed and insisted on promoting him little by little. Now he’s being promoted one after another, which is quite troublesome, isn’t it?” Zhou Yi said.
“But he’s only just been promoted to lieutenant. What will the other officers think if he’s promoted to captain?” a general said with a furrowed brow.
“Luo Lingxing was able to improve the army’s strength to this extent in such a short time. I believe his abilities are definitely not limited to this. Perhaps there are other things that can improve the soldiers’ capabilities. Since we want what he has, how can we not give something in return? Besides, military rank is just an empty title for him. No matter how you look at it, we’ve come out on top,” another general said.
“I agree with this proposal.”
“I also agree.”
Following this, many other generals agreed to the proposal. Just as the previous general had said, Luo Lingxing was a treasure, a treasure of their military and the empire. Luo Lingxing had helped them improve the abilities of their soldiers, so how could they sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor without contributing anything? Otherwise, how could he continue to stay in the military? Moreover, promoting Luo Lingxing’s rank would only strengthen his relationship with the military, which would only benefit their military.
