It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future - Chapter 1246

Chapter 1246: Twilight’s Plan!

“General, this is the latest update on the whereabouts of the three god-class operators from Twilight.” He Xuyang handed over the report to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao looked through it quickly. He suddenly frowned.

“What’s the matter?” He Xuyang could tell that there was something amiss through Ling Xiao’s expression.

“This person isn’t Lord Jindao,” Ling Xiao pointed to one of the pictures and said confidently.

He Xuyang looked at Lord Jindao’s data. However, he didn’t notice anything wrong with it. “This person is Lord Jindao. There’s no difference in his voice to his looks.”

Ling Xiao shook his head. “You don’t understand. A god-class operator has an aura that only another god-class operator can detect. This person doesn’t have the aura of Lord Jindao.”

Ling Xiao thought for a moment before saying, “Give me all the data on Lord Jindao. I want to inspect them carefully.”

“Yes.” He Xuyang quickly gathered all the information about Lord Jindao from the moment he appeared on the battlefield.

Ling Xiao looked through them carefully. He stopped at the video that was taken three days ago and said, “Lord Jindao was swapped on this day.”

He Xuyang looked at the video and compared it with the other photos and video of Lord Jindao. His mind was in a whirl. Sob, he couldn’t see what the difference was. Was it time for him to retire?

“It’s not your fault. Only god-class operators will be able to detect the swap. That’s why our intelligence bureau didn’t notice it too.” Ling Xiao frowned.

“Where is Lord Jindao then?” He Xuyang was puzzled.

“Twilight must have a plan up their sleeve. What do they want to do?”

“Xuyang, point out the positions of our divisions in Twilight on the map,” Ling Xiao ordered after pondering for a few seconds.

“Yes.” He Xuyang quickly found the map of Twilight in the optical supercomputer and pinned the locations of their divisions on it.

“The 13th division and the 4th division are around Qiaolang. There are four god-class operators stationed there. The 7th division has occupied Base Beiye. They’re using it as their base now. There is one god-class operator stationed there. However, three independent armies will be reinforcing them soon. Two god-class operators from our alliance nations will be arriving there too.”

He Xuyang looked worried as he continued, “The 23rd division only has one god-class operator, you. Our combat ability is a little weak. Thus, we’re in a more dangerous position.”

He was Ling Xiao’s confidant so he knew that Ling Xiao wouldn’t be angered or misunderstand him. He just reminded Ling Xiao because he was worried about him.

“I know. However, we’re in a difficult position. Twilight and its alliance nations don’t dare to act rashly because they don’t know where we are. My absence will lighten the burden on the two main battlefields.” Ling Xiao felt helpless too. He attacked Twilight’s planets randomly because he couldn’t sneak into the capital planet. Twilight guarded their wormholes too heavily. It was a matter of patience now.

“But they are looking for you. You’re the main target of Twilight.” He Xuyang knew that the people from Twilight hated Ling Xiao because he destroyed many of their planets. Ling Xiao was the person they wanted to kill the most. If they discovered the 23rd division, they would definitely go all out to attack them.

This was why the 23rd division had to go into hiding.

“Is Lord Jindao looking for us?” He Xuyang had a sudden thought.

“That is possible.” This was Ling Xiao’s first thought too.

“However, we are in a satellite base that has been abandoned for many years. Our researcher found out that this base has been abandoned for more than a thousand years. If we didn’t find it by coincidence, we wouldn’t have known that there’s a wormhole that leads to here. Moreover, this wormhole wasn’t built by Twilight… but if Caesar is really ambitious.” He Xuyang was puzzled. “Unless Caesar kept a record of this wormhole and reminded Twilight about it, they won’t be able to find us.”

All the starships were resting at this moment. [Belief] was the one guarding the perimeter. Everyone knew how frighteningly powerful [Belief] was. If [Belief] didn’t alert them, it meant that they were safe.

Ling Xiao wanted to say something but he felt a sudden pain in his heart. His expression changed instantly. He closed his eyes and made some calculations.

“Where is the Lingtian Independent Army?” Ling Xiao’s face was slightly pale. He suddenly felt a strong sense of danger around his daughter.

He Xuyang understood Ling Xiao’s anxiousness. His face turned white as he hurriedly replied, “I’ll check immediately.”

His hands were trembling as he looked through the optical supercomputer.

“General, an hour ago, Young Master Lan entered the Qingri wormhole with Base Nebula.” He Xuyang’s lips were shaking as he talked. He knew that Lord Jindao’s target was most probably Ling Lan.

His trained nerves of steel allowed him to finish his sentence properly. If he didn’t have a strong mentality, he might not be able to open his mouth due to his anxiousness and fear.

“Damn it!” Ling Xiao stood up abruptly. His force of presence leaked out unconsciously. He Xuyang was forced to the ground by the pressure. Blood flowed out of his mouth.

“I’m sorry. I lost control of myself.” Ling Xiao forced himself to remain calm.

“It’s alright.” He Xuyang picked himself from the ground. He wiped the blood off his mouth.

“Xuyang, I need to go to the Qingri wormhole.” Ling Xiao made his decision.

“General! You can’t go!” He Xuyang exclaimed in astonishment.

Ling Xiao looked at He Xuyang silently. He Xuyang coughed out blood. He bore with the pain from his internal injuries and told Ling Xiao his prediction, “By right, there’s no need to send a god-class operator to kill Young Master Lan. They’re still in war with Qi Yaoyang so once he discovers their plan, he might launch a full-force assault on Twilight. Twilight only has three god-class operators. They’re not our match. Qiaolang will become our territory. Twilight knew the risk but they still chose to send Lord Jindao to chase after Young Master Lan. Why are they willing to take the risk? Young Master Lan is not important enough for them to do this. There is only one reason. They wanted to lure you out with Young Master Lan.”

“I know,” Ling Xiao replied calmly. When he guessed that Lord Jindao’s target was Ling Lan, he had seen through Twilight’s plan.
