Song Yiqing was speechless. He really didn"t know if Qi Long really didn"t know anything or was he serious about that."Since you dare to challenge the Song family, you should have the guts to tell me what your name is, right?" Song Yiqing sneered.
"23rd division, 250 Ace Mecha Clan, leader of team 03, Qi Long," Qi Long replied calmly.
Song Yiqing then looked at Li Yingjie. He still remembered that Li Yingjie humiliated him too.
Li Yingjie raised his head arrogantly. "23rd division, 250 Ace Mecha Clan, leader of team 10, Li Yingjie."
"Good. I"ll remember you!" Song Yiqing gritted his teeth as he replied. He decided that he must frame them for being disrespectful towards the Second Marshal. Even if they denied it, it wouldn"t affect anything. Such normal soldiers who had no background were easy to deal with.
At that moment, Li Yingjie suddenly sn.i.g.g.e.red. "Oh right, to prevent you from finding the wrong person, there is something I have to tell you."
Qi Long felt that something bad was going to happen.
"Our team 03 leader is the son of the General of the 13th division, the famous G.o.d of the battlefield, Qi Yaoyang." Li Yingjie pushed Qi Long to the crossfire without any hesitation as he really couldn"t do anything to Song Yiqing. If Song Yiqing took revenge on him and let his grandfather knew what had happened, he would be chased back to the 4th division. He already spent a lot of effort and time to gain merits in the 23rd division, so he didn"t want to go back and become a puppet controlled by his family.
"It"s the G.o.d of the battlefield!"
"It"s the invincible G.o.d of the battlefield, Qi Yaoyang!"
Everyone gasped in shock. The three great marshals control the entire military world. However, to the soldiers, their fame was not as great as the undefeatable G.o.ds like Ling Xiao and Qi Yaoyang. They were the people they respected the most. Hence, when they heard that Qi Long was Qi Yaoyang"s son, they started to look at him with respect. The pressure from Song Yiqing"s background now seemed insignificant in comparison.
Even Song Yiqing"s heart started pounding furiously when he heard this. A normal major without any background was totally different from the son of an undefeatable G.o.d. If he continued to be at loggerheads with Qi Long, he would have to face the anger of two generals, General Ling Xiao and General Qi Yaoyang, as General Ling Xiao would definitely protect Qi Long for the sake of General Qi Yaoyang. That meant that his grandfather would have to face the attack from both the First Marshal and the Third Marshal. This would be a great crisis towards his grandfather"s position. The best case scenario of that situation would that the subordinates of the First Marshal weren"t willing to help the people of the Third Marshal, hence his grandfather would only have to face one faction. However, even this scenario was already enough for his grandfather to have a headache.
Song Yiqing was not a stupid person, proven by the fact that he was able to gain the support of his grandfather. He immediately thought of the terrible consequences that could come up. His heart dropped. He restrained himself and squeezed out a smile on his face. "I didn"t know that you are the son of General Qi. You have my respect. Our families are both working hard for the Federation, so we clearly shouldn"t disturb them with our tiny farce"
"So?" Qi Long gave his humble smile again as he scratched the back of his head, pretending that he didn"t know what Song Yiqing was saying.
"This matter between us will end here!" Song Yiqing forced his words out. He admitted defeat.
"Oh, was there anything between us?" Qi Long looked confused.
"No." Song Yiqing narrowed his eyes. He knew Qi Long was trying to make things difficult for him. Qi Long just wanted to hear him admitting defeat personally.
Song Yiqing controlled his emotions. Qi Yaoyang? His grandfather would definitely deal with this person and wrestle back control of the 13th division. When that happens, he would take his revenge on this b.a.s.t.a.r.d and let him understand the consequences of provoking him.
"That"s good. I already said in the beginning that I don"t have anything against you." Qi Long smiled and turned to look for Li Yingjie. "That sneaky fellow used me! Does he think I"m so easily pushed around?"
Qi Long"s indifferent att.i.tude proved that he didn"t care about Song Yiqing at all. Song Yiqing could hear the crowd laughing at him, and his face turned green with anger. This time, he was humiliated badly by Qi Long. He knew that his reputation in Base 013 had clearly gone down.
"Boss Song… what do we do now?" Zhou Chen asked softly.
"Let"s go!" They had already embarra.s.sed themselves. Should they really continue to stay here and embarra.s.s themselves further?
"Oh, okay!" Zhou Chen didn"t dare to say anything else, and he quickly asked his men to leave with Song Yiqing.
The commanding officer, who had been watching the show all this time, pretended that he had just arrived. He walked into the cafeteria and asked, "Why is everyone standing at the door?"
His adjutant saw the confused looks of the people from 250 Ace Mecha Clan and informed them hurriedly, "This is the commanding officer of the base, Senior Colonel Du Mingyi."
"Senior Colonel Du!" Qi Long quickly went forward.
"Major Qi, I didn"t know that you are the son of General Qi Yaoyang. That" great. I hope that you will become a legend in the battlefield just like the general." Du Mingyi smiled amiably. He held Qi Long"s hand and told him he had high hopes of him. This was a display of goodwill.
Du Mingyi understood why 250 Ace Mecha Clan was so special. It only had a population of a mecha team but it was still able to be recognized as a mecha clan. It must be a mecha clan specially formed for Qi Long, just like 224 Mecha Clan. However, 224 Mecha Clan did things in a secluded manner. They didn"t ask Song Yiqing to directly become the regiment commander of the mecha clan. Instead, they let him joined a normal mecha clan first to gain some experience. As for 250 Ace Mecha Clan… well, they did try to hide things up. At least they had a regiment commander for show to protect Qi Long"s ident.i.ty.
"Thank you. I will complete my mission under the guidance of my regiment commander and help protect the base." Qi Long gave a shy smile. His humble face didn"t suit his status. Du Mingyi felt relieved. It was good that Qi Long was not someone hard to deal with. If another Song Yiqing came, his position of the commanding officer of the base would be in danger.
He couldn"t afford to offend anyone!
Du Mingyi wanted to form a closer relationship with Qi Long but his face suddenly turned serious. He turned and saluted towards the door. "Regiment commander."
All the members of 250 Ace Mecha Clan did the same thing too. They formed up in an orderly manner and saluted seriously, shocking everyone in the cafeteria. The entire canteen turned quiet.
Footsteps could be clearly heard throughout the whole canteen. The crisp sound of a pair of military boots stepping on the floor got closer and closer. When the footsteps stopped, a cold and dignified figure appeared in front of everyone.
This newcomer was wearing the lieutenant colonel uniform with a white cloak around her while holding a short whip in her hand.
