“Attention!” Qi Long shouted suddenly. All the mecha operators stood at attention.
Ling Lan slowly knocked the short whip against her left palm. She walked to the mecha operators that were standing at the front row and scanned them with cold eyes. All the mecha operators felt nervous. They were afraid that they made a mistake.
However, not everyone was sensible enough. Some mecha operators who weren’t present yesterday hadn’t recognized Ling Lan as their regiment commander. Hence, they didn’t pay much attention to the orders given. They maintained their original position and stood around casually. A few of them even leaned on one leg.
Ling Lan slowly walked towards a mecha operator who was standing sloppily. She patted the person’s chest with the whip and asked, “Didn’t you hear the call for attention?”
“Aren’t I in attention?” The mecha operator rubbed his eyes and dug his ears.
The mecha operators who were present yesterday felt their heart dropped. They felt that this person was doomed.
Ling Lan didn’t reply to the mecha operator. She retracted the whip and knocked it against her left palm again. She was thinking about something.
The mecha operator sneered. Seems like the new regiment commander is just a paper tiger. At that moment, Ling Lan moved.
The whip in her right hand swung at the mecha operator’s right leg. There was the sound was bones breaking.
“Ah!” The mecha operator screamed in pain. He fell on the ground and grabbed his right leg. There was fear in his eyes. He didn’t expect the new regiment commander to break his leg just because he didn’t stand at attention.
Ling Lan kept her whip indifferently. She said calmly, “Since you can’t stand at attention, there is no use for your legs.”
She stepped past him and scanned the other mecha operators.
The other mecha operators who didn’t stand properly immediately corrected their posture. They were scared. They finally understood why their comrades’ faces were pale when they came back yesterday. This was why they kept reminding them that their regiment commander is a devil.
The mecha operator groaning on the ground was dragged away by Xie Yi and Luo Lang. Peace returned to the training ground.
Ling Lan was satisfied with everyone’s posture so she returned to the front. She said coldly, “First, I will announce that I, Ling Lan, will be the Regiment Commander of 250 Mecha Clan from now on. I hope that all of you will remember this point.”
“Next, the 250 Mecha Clan will split into 10 small teams. There will be 25 people in every team. I will announce the team leaders for the small teams now.”
“Team 01, team leader: Yang Mingzhi!” Yang Mingzhi was stunned. He is the team leader of Team 01? He raised his head and looked at Ling Lan in disbelief. Ling Lan stared at him coldly.
Yang Mingzhi regained his senses and hurriedly received his order. “Yes, regiment commander!”
Yang Mingzhi had been the commanding officer of a 1000 member mecha operating team before so, by right, a team of 25 people should mean nothing to him. However, for some reason, he felt his heart pounding furiously when he heard Ling Lan’s order. He was excited. This emotion seemed unfamiliar to Yang Mingzhi.
“Team 02, team leader: Liu Furong!”
Yang Mingzhi was shocked to hear the name. He looked at Liu Furong.
Liu Furong was astounded too. He didn’t expect himself to be a team leader. Yang Mingzhi bumped him with his elbow. Liu Furong regained his composure and received the order.
“Team 03, team leader: Qi Long!” Ling Lan gave the members of Lingtian a chance to be the team leaders too. Since they were already powerful enough, she had to give them more experiences to grow up.
Qi Long heard his name being called and stood up straight. He shouted, “Yes, regiment commander!”
“Team 04, team leader: Zhao Jun!”
“Team 05, team leader: Luo Lang!”
“Team 06, team leader: Li Lanfeng!”
“Team 07, team leader: Xie Yi!”
“Team 08, team leader: Han Jijyun!”
“Team 09, team leader: Gu Dongyang!”
Gu Dongyang was a mecha operator who had been recognized by the Federation. According to what Li Shiyu reported, his recovery was the fastest and he was one of the people who were willing to cooperate with Xie Yi and Luo Lang during the treatment. Since he had the heart to stand up again, Ling Lan would support him entirely. Making him the team leader was the first sign of support she showed.
Gu Dongyang’s mouth corners twitched when he heard his name being called. He was excited. He shouted in a hoarse voice, “Yes, regiment commander!” No one realized his hands were clenched into a fist. He felt hope lighting up in his heart.
“Team 10, team leader: Li Yingjie!”
Li Yingjie was stunned. He was a team leader too? He just entered the Lingtian Battle Team. He was just a new member. He couldn’t control his emotions and shouted loudly, “Yes, regiment commander!”
Li Yingjie realized the distance between him and Ling Lan. If it was him, he would be selfish and only promote his own men. He would not give any chance to other people. Li Yingjie knew that there were many people in Lingtian Battle Team who were capable of being a team leader. However, Ling Lan gave him the spot…
Li Yingjie was touched. He was grateful for Ling Lan. He thanked her for taking him in when he just entered the 23rd division. He also thanked her for remembering him and giving him the position of a team leader… he suddenly felt that he was willing to do anything for Ling Lan.
“The team leaders of the 10 teams are temporary. If the team leader doesn’t perform well in the next month, he will be replaced by someone better than him. There is only one rule in 250 Mecha Clan. Only the strongest can speak.” Ling Lan continued. The 10 team leaders got a shock while the other mecha operators felt encouraged.
“Now, the mecha operators here will be split into 10 small teams. As for those that are not present, you all will send them personally to the treatment room. Since they dared to disobey my command, they will pay the price for it.”
Liu Furong and Yang Mingzhi smiled bitterly. They became Ling Lan’s knife. As for Gu Dongyang, he didn’t have such worry. He felt that people who disobeyed their superiors should be punished.
