After going through a series of assessments, the first batch of graduates from the First Military Academy of Country Lan finally reached the moment where they needed to make the decision that would affect their future.
“Oh right, have you thought of which division you want to go to?” The students who were gathered in the plaza and waiting for the virtual screen to show their information couldn’t help but ask each other when they met anyone they recognized.
“Of course, I want to go to the Emperor’s Lingtian army. That is our most powerful division. They’re the real emperor’s army.” Everyone got excited just thinking about the prospects of joining such an illustrious division. They would rise in rank tremendously if they managed to enter the Lingtian army and become the emperor’s personal soldier.
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. You need to pass through various difficult tests before you can enter Lingtian. Not only do you need to have outstanding personal strength, but your political background must also be adequate too. We don’t have the right to enter Lingtian.” In the crowd, there was someone who clearly understood the criteria of entering Lingtian clearly so he couldn’t help but burst their bubbles.
“I know. I’m just dreaming about it. Still, my biggest goal in life is to enter Lingtian.” 20-year-old men were all full of ambition and enthusiasm.
“Hmph, who isn’t. We used to be an undeveloped zone enslaved by other nations. Now, we have successfully built our nation and have a spot in the Intergalactic United Nations. These are all possible because of our emperor. Who doesn’t respect our emperor?” In Country Lan, Emperor Lan was everyone’s idol.
“Can you stop daydreaming? It’s impossible for us to get into Lingtian. Let’s find a more reachable division. Do you all want to get randomly allocated by the system?”
“Of course not. I heard that those who didn’t get chosen by any division or didn’t manage to register in time would be allocated by the system randomly. Emperor Lan specially granted this favour so that they won’t lose their chance to enter the military.”
“Actually, there’re many divisions that are not bad. For instance, General Qi’s Longdou Army, General Luo’s Yizi Army, General Xie’s Zhuolang Army, General Han’s Zhongce Army, General Lin’s Zhongqing Army… and Marshal Li’s Mufeng Army.” Someone mentioned the most famous armies in Country Lan. The commander of these armies were people who fought alongside Emperor Lan in the past.
“The other divisions might be alright but Marshal Li’s division might not be a good place to go to now…” someone said with pity.
When this was said, the atmosphere turned tense. Everyone said that Country Lan was perfect. The only problem was the relationship between Emperor Lan and Marshal Li.
Emperor Lan married someone recently. This person was sent by the Federation to make peace with Country Lan through a marriage. Hence, the relationship of the young master of the top elite family in the Federation, Li Mulan, who was Marshal Li, and Emperor Lan became dangerous.
There was a rumour that they used to be a couple in the past. However, the old fogeys in the parliament were afraid that once Emperor Lan and Marshal Li got married, they would be too much of a power couple. They were also afraid that no one would be able to restrain Emperor Lan in the future so they proposed that the emperor’s husband mustn’t have any real military power. If Marshal Li wanted to marry Emperor Lan, he needed to give up his current status…
Imagine a man, especially a man who had immense military power in his hands, having to give up his power to become a toy-boy?
In the end, Emperor Lan and Marshal Li broke up. Unfortunately, before their relationship could heal, the Federation took the opportunity to send a beautiful man to marry Emperor Lan…
No woman can resist the charms of a beautiful man!
Although they felt pity for Emperor Lan and Marshal Li, they had to admit that the emperor’s husband now was really beautiful. It was understandable that Emperor Lan would get moved by him.
But, since then, Emperor Lan and Marshal Li became enemies. This made Marshal Li’s Mufeng Army that not very attractive division to be recruited by.
“I don’t care. I just don’t want to go to the Mulan Army.” As compared to the Mufeng Army, these cadets hated Empress Li Zhunjiang’s division more.
It was called an army but in actual fact, it was a toy that the emperor gave to her husband to play when he was bored. The soldiers inside there were lacking in all areas. They were all weak people who had negative combat abilities. People who graduated from the military academy looked down on this division. As the cadets from the First Military Academy, there was no way they would want to go to this army.
“Sigh, I hope that heaven will help me!” Everyone agreed with this sentence.
