Chapter 145.1
Editor: Jodi
The greatest threat to the Federation was indeed the zergs, yet there were still a lot of interstellar pirates around, among which the Phantom Dream Legion was the largest in scale and strongest in combat power of all the interstellar pirates, hence when this kind of formidable combat power suddenly appeared on Planet S36, what’s more in such an open and undisguised manner, the news spread to the Federation’s higher echelons as well as the interiors of other Legions in less than a minute.
The base of the Phantom Dream Legion had always been in X Galaxy, and while stationed there, they also resisted the zergs. This was something that the ordinary citizens of the Federation might not know, but as Generals of a Legion, it was impossible for them to not know. Therefore when the Phantom Dream Legion appeared on Planet S36, the leaders of the other two legions were only stunned for a brief moment before they immediately realized the significance of this event.
The Phantom Dream Legion had chosen to join the War God Legion.
When General Admiral Sima got to know of this news, he was so angry that he smashed a circle on the control console of the command room directly.
“Congressman Fan, what is this about, why did the Phantom Dream Legion ultimately choose the War God Legion?” General Admiral Sima was one of the first to know that the Phantom Dream Legion had the idea of going legitimate, and it was Congressman Fan who had told him this news.
The reason why Congressman Fan could become a Federation congressman was inextricably linked to the assistance of the Sima Legion. He had also just received the news and was also just as surprised that they had chosen the War God Legion: “I just got the message.”
“Didn’t you say you would help us contact them?” General Admiral Sima asked.
“I did say that, and I conveyed all the conditions you provided to the person in charge of the Phantom Dream Legion.”
“Then why did they still choose the War God Legion?”
“Perhaps they offered better terms?” Congressman Fan continued, “If you can bribe me to help you plan, can’t others do the same?”
“If it were the Feng family, then it would be possible, but the War God Legion is so poor that they even rely on his wife’s earnings to subsidize their annual military pay, so what do you think he can use in order to bribe the Phantom Dream Legion?”
“You can only ask Ye Chen about that.” Congressman Fan told him.
What was the f*cking use in asking now? They were already on Planet S36, and although their joining of the War God Legion hadn’t been announced officially, their high-profile appearance meant that the terms and conditions had already been negotiated a long time ago, and that today’s appearance was merely a formality.
And indeed, as expected, the Phantom Dream Legion was just going through the motions, as the specific terms had already been negotiated via video before they even arrived, and at this moment, in the War God Legion’s auditorium, General Admiral Sheng was conferring the rank of Lieutenant General to Lin Xuesong, the boss of the Phantom Dream Legion.
The War God Legion currently had only three Lieutenant Generals, each of whom had served the War God Legion for over twenty years and had distinguished military exploits, hence Sheng Tianxing’s conferral of the Lieutenant General rank to Lin Xuesong indicated the high regard he had for the Phantom Dream Legion. After Lin Xuesong was conferred the rank of Lieutenant General, Ye Chen was then conferred the rank of Major General, followed by several other high level members of the Phantom Dream Legion receiving their respective military ranks.
“Lieutenant General Lin, according to our agreement, the Phantom Dream Legion will still be stationed in X Galaxy. I won’t interfere too much, but now that you have donned the military uniform and have the corresponding military rank, you have to adhere to the military rules of the War God Legion.” Them adhering to military regulations was Sheng Tianxing’s bottom line.
Frowning, Lin Xuesong was just about to open his mouth when Ye Chen who was beside him spoke first: “General Admiral Sheng, rest assured, since we have chosen to join the War God Legion, we will naturally adhere to its military regulations. We’re just accustomed to being unbounded, so please give us some time.”
This request wasn’t excessive, so Sheng Tianxing nodded in agreement.
“Right, the mass production of Haoyue has already started, right? I wonder if there’s a quota for our Phantom Dream in the first batch.” Ye Chen added.
“You also know about Haoyue? Sheng Heng told you?” Sheng Tianxing asked with certainty.
Haoyue was precisely the weapon Yan Hao had designed that was made specifically for targeting low level zergs, and after half a month of testing by warriors of various levels in the War God Legion, they obtained the performance metrics for this weapon. The weapon had a high kill rate of 91% against zergs below level six. That was to say, if operated strictly according to the manual, the moment the weapon was used, as long as it hit a zerg accurately, the chance of killing a zerg in one hit was as high as 91%.
And although not every mech warrior could use this weapon accurately on the battlefield, it still increased the lethality against the zergs greatly. Hence when the Mech Department of the War God Legion calculated these figures, they almost went crazy with excitement then reported it to their superiors immediately, and for this reason, General Admiral Sheng once again convened a high level meeting, then decided to mass-produce this weapon in order for the mechs below level six to be uniformly equipped with it. And in a play on words with Yan Hao’s name, the weapon was named Haoyue.
Ye Chen laughed happily, neither admitting nor denying it, causing Sheng Heng who was standing by the side but unable to speak to glare at him fiercely.
“Once the first batch of weapons is out, I’ll send some over to you.” This was one of the agreed terms– the Phantom Dream Legion joined the War God Legion to strengthen its power, and whenever the War God Legion acquired any new weapons or mechs, they had to share it with them immediately.
