The OZ fleet was the joint fleet of the newly constructed Solar System Federation. There were no factions within the fleet, neither was there any division between Earth, Mars, the Moon. and the asteroids. The purpose was to maintain the interest of the whole federation, not a particular area.
This was the elite fleet of the Solar System, equipped with the the Marine Corps Air Combat Team. The purpose was simple: to create the number one battle team in the Solar System!
There was no doubt that those with military power had the power to speak. Every position was fiercely contested. No matter which faction they represented, they had to show sufficient results to be placed. This team needed only the best.
Such a discussion of appointments could not be resolved in a day’s meeting. They had completed 16 appointments out of 30 captains. Achilles, Meng Tian, and Lie Xin were no-brainers. The fourth captain was Raston, who used to be on par with Achilles. He might be one step behind now, but he was still one of the better ones amongst the younger generation.
After the generals left, the youngsters who attended the meeting but didn’t have the right to vote gathered together. The younger generation eligible to attend today’s meeting were acquaintances. They had competed against each other during the IG selection. They were now in the same OZ fleet not by accident.
The canteen was the only available option for food in the military base. Everyone was treated equally except for the generals. Demon Island also became the most important training base for the elites. Anyone who was sent here would mean a promotion was near. It was the holy land to every warrior.
Achilles and the rest entered the canteen. Many of the warriors were already having their meal, discussing the international situation with great interest. It was completely different from before. Now, everyone’s eyes were full of fighting spirit and hope. They were eager to venture out of the Solar System. The lowest rank here was a second lieutenant.
The canteen quietened down instantly when the new group of people walked in. Some of them were younger than them but already had the dazzling stars on their shoulders. The four youngest major generals of the Solar System who had broken the promotion record.
The Sun God Achilles, Queen Lie Xin of the Lie Family, Genius of the Galaxy Military College Meng Tian, and the Steel Warrior Raston. They represented the personal glory of each planet and the cooperation of the Solar System. The young men behind them were also lieutenant colonels at least. They were the group of people who would rule the Solar System in the future.
“Is that Achilles? He’s more handsome in real life!”
“Wow, we actually met them in person! I didn’t miss a single battle in the Tyrannical Clash of Kings, what an aura.”
“Meng Tian doesn’t seem as cold as I thought. That is our most outstanding graduate of our Milky Way Galaxy Military College.”
Those were eyes of envy and expectation. These ambitious young people were eager to have great leaders to lead them to glory.
They were true international heroes. Unfortunately, Wang Zheng wasn’t there.
Wang Zheng was the one and only spiritual leader of the Solar System. It was the Saruman Snake led by Wang Zheng that created that miracle. It was also Wang Zheng who taught the Solar System what cooperation meant. It would be perfect if Wang Zheng was here.
If Wang Zheng was to lead a fleet, countless youngsters would treat joining him as their greatest honor.
Achilles and the rest smiled, listening to the gossip around them. They were used to it and knew each other anyway.
“First, I’d like to congratulate Achilles, Lie Xin, Meng Tian, Raston, the four captains. Please take care of us in the future,” Yuan Ye said. He had just returned from Manalasuo and would be one of the deputy captains of a destroyer in the OZ fleet if nothing went wrong.
“This is the first time I feel there’s hope for our Solar System.”
“We might have the chance to showcase ourselves before long, given the international situation.”
“It would be perfect if Wang Zheng was back.” Yuan Ye sighed audibly. Many wanted to fight alongside Wang Zheng. They could already feel the incomparable confidence from him all those years back, it would be a happy thing now if they became teammates.
“Wang Zheng will definitely return.” A faint voice came from a face as white as snow, encasing a pair of determined eyes. Zhang Runan was no longer the Zhang Runan of the past. She was the most famous beauty of the Solar System army. She wasn’t interested in men interested in her appearance and even found them repulsive, perhaps because of her Ability X.
Raston smiled. “Zhang Runan, Wang Zheng’s situation is a little more complicated. Tita might be better for him. You saw how they argued just now. It would be worse if Wang Zheng were to come but not be able to showcase his abilities.”
Zhang Runan smiled as well but didn’t respond. That was also true.
“Don’t worry about him. That guy should be having the time of his life now.” Lie Xin smiled. “Everyone here saw the battle of the Rose Haier Star Field. That Ren Yixuan guy created the miracle of Star Wars. We have to think of a way to learn it. If not, we will be easily defeated.”
“According to intel, this is a new combat system. To be exact, we need a brain for the fleet and the rest be like the ants’ system, controlled solely by the queen ant. The others are only workers. The problem is that not everyone has such power. An extremely strong spiritual power is required, and not only that, the trait of this power has to be group oriented. There doesn’t seem to be someone with such powers in the Solar System,” Milo said. “This is only a prerequisite. Someone like that has to be sufficiently literate in military strategies; otherwise, it’s useless.”
“Ren Yixuan used to be in the limelight in Arbiter as one with the highest IQs in war strategy competitions. However, he disappeared quickly because he advocated the use of force. No one expected him to be so strong.”
“Ren Yixuan’s game is really domineering and aggressive, despising the whole world.” Raston sighed.
“He has reason to,” Meng Tian said. “Actually, the Solar System might have someone like that.”
Everyone’s eyes opened wide. “Impossible, we checked all the files. We would need at least someone with A-class spiritual power. There isn’t anyone like that in the younger generation of the Solar System. The technical department also judged that anyone over 40 years old would also face difficulty withstanding such high-intensity changes and control.”
“He’s similar to us, it’s just that no one knew what he was thinking. If there was anyone in the Solar System who could do it, he should be one of them,” Meng Tian said.
“One of them? Who else?” Yuan Ye asked in a blur.
“Wang Zheng!” Meng Tian said. Everyone was stunned for awhile. It seemed like Wang Zheng could do anything in everyone’s hearts. It was unknown, but there was a possibility that Wang Zheng could do it.
“The other person is Xie Yuxin,” Meng Tian replied. Xie Yuxin disappeared the moment they returned to the Solar System. He didn’t seem very interested in military recruitment, perhaps because the position was too low, or perhaps he didn’t want to waste time in the army. However, during her time in the Oracle Star, Meng Tian came to know that Xie Yuxin’s spiritual power was absolutely shocking even though his physical techniques were normal. He had never showcased his full strength.
Xie Yuxin was as calm as a machine when commanding the battleships. Meng Tian might have been an elite at the Galaxy Military College, but she knew she could never compare to Xie Yuxin.
“Xie Yuxin?”
Many had never even heard of him. Some had a fleeting impression.
“He’s someone even Wang Zheng respects.
“He’s a little strange. He was sent to Aslan for further studies but later transferred to Elite Academy X. However, his performance was exceptionally dull in Elite Academy X. His personality is the complete opposite of Wang Zheng’s. As far as I know, we should be able to find him on Earth,” Meng Tian said firmly.
