Chapter 608: The Price Of Being Stubborn?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Ling Lan and her team members were sent to the Middle Second Corps. The commander of the Middle Second Corps was elated when he heard that five ace mecha masters were sent to his corps. However, when he saw the mecha clan they were allocated to, his heart turned cold.

He sent a request to the headquarters of the 23rd Division and pleaded for the Lingtian Battle Team to be sent to any other mecha clan. But, his request was rejected. The headquarters replied that new battle teams are required to stay in their allocated mecha clan for at least a year before they could be moved somewhere else.

In the beginning, this rule was set to protect mecha clans. It was to prevent the higher authorities from pulling people out of the mecha clan just because they noticed that someone was powerful. It could also protect the recruits from being targeted and transferred to other mecha clans just because his faction was different.

However, the 250 Mecha Clan was a forsaken mecha clan. All the mecha operators inside were useless and had no ability to fight at all. No one wanted to stay there. The only benefit would be not having to go onto the battlefield.

But battlefield was where powerful people should go. There were many talented mecha operators in the Lingtian Battle Team. If they were sent to the 250 Mecha Clan, it would be the same as destroying them. The commander sighed. This was a crime!

Some people might be curious as to why the 250 Mecha Clan still existed. Why couldn’t they just retrench these mecha operators or get new positions for them?

Well, the Federation couldn’t retrench them. All these mecha operators had many outstanding achievements in the past. Some were even commended in front of the entire Federation.

However, heroes would grow old and die too. Due to certain reasons, these heroes became useless. They were not crippled. With the technology now, any form of disabilities could be cured.

They were mentally unstable. Some lost the courage to fight in the battlefield. Others would become maniacs once they operated a mecha and start killing people around them. There were even operators who got sick of mechas and felt that they would never be able to operate a mecha again.

They had no families. They dedicated their entire life to the Federation and only knew how to kill people. They didn’t know how to survive in a normal world and had no other skills. The Federation had to take care of them. If they didn’t, they would lose the faith of the soldiers who were fighting in the battlefields.

These people used to be supported by their original mecha clans. But, when the 23rd Division first formed, Ling Xiao had to request for more manpower from the other divisions. The other divisions took this chance to stuff these people into the 23rd Division.

By the time Ling Xiao noticed this, there was nothing he could do. However, he didn’t want to give up on them. He formed the 250 Mecha Clan and gathered all these people together. He hoped that they would relive their glory someday.

The 250 Mecha Clan was not in the list of mecha clans for recruits. But for some reason, this year, it appeared on the list and even got the most powerful recruits…

The commander of the Middle Second Corps felt an ache in his heart. He didn’t know if the recruits would be affected by those useless soldiers. Would they become useless as well and give up on themselves a year later? The commander had tears in his eyes when he sent the Lingtian Battle Team off.

The 250 Mecha Clan was not far away from the main base of the Middle Second Corps. Besides Ling Lan and her team members, there was only the driver left in the bus. The two captains were sad when they left the hover bus. They must have felt that if Ling Lan didn’t form her battle team, they would not be allocated to the 250 Mecha Clan.
