The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 658: Xingluo Marquis

Several individuals and a Mutant Beast were engrossed in a conversation about Su Chen, and their words were filled with admiration.

It goes without saying that both Mutant Beasts and Mutants themselves revere the strong. Su Chen, the Empire Emperor, was undoubtedly a formidable figure. Only the strong could make the Human Emperor their minister.

However, Su Chen had never displayed his power in front of outsiders, and there were various speculations about the Emperor's true strength.

"Hehe, isn't it delightful to hear about your own exploits from others?" Leng Yuwei approached with a mischievous smile, whispering softly. Her breath made Su Chen's ears tingle.

"Don't tease."

Su Chen didn't care about how others discussed him. Even if they called him a tyrant, it didn't matter. For the humans on the planets he controlled, he was indeed a tyrant.

To swiftly gain control of the planets, his subordinates had done quite a few things.

Only the people from Earth considered him a great ruler.

At that moment, a grave voice from Li Shaolong reached Su Chen's mind, "Commander, our attack has been halted."

Su Chen came to a halt, and Leng Yuwei immediately thought that someone had contacted Su Chen. She used her illusionary magic to divert the consciousness of the people around them, ensuring that no one would disturb them.

"Who is it?"

Su Chen found it peculiar. With the current strength of Red Alert Base, who could stop his advance?

"They identify themselves as Xingluo Marquis's people. They are formidable, and without using Superweapons, they are evenly matched."

With the current strength of Red Alert Base, even without using Superweapons, not many planets could resist. So who was this Xingluo Marquis?

Soon, Li Shaolong obtained some information about Xingluo Marquis from the local inhabitants and shared it all with Su Chen.

Xingluo Marquis, one of the vassals of the Rota Empire, was considered strong among all the vassals of the Rota Empire. His territory was precisely where Li Shaolong and the others were launching their attack.

As for why a vassal of such strength was stationed in this remote location, it was evident that he had been ostracized.

As for Yan Yun Star, it was on the very edge of the edge, and no vassal was willing to take over such a place. Essentially, they were all self-governing.

"What's his strength like?"

"Small Galaxy, eighth order."

"Not bad. If a direct confrontation doesn't work, then use the Superweapon. You already have the permissions."

For Su Chen, if a head-on battle couldn't be won, then it was better to use the Superweapon. After all, the Superweapon could be used once every day, so there was no reason not to use it.

On the other side, Li Shaolong finished his conversation with Su Chen and turned to his deputy, giving the order, "Use the Superweapon."

"Sir, which one should we use?"

"The Commander's favorite is the Weather Control Device, so let's go with that."

The current Weather Control Device had a range that could extend to the size of an entire Earth. However, in battle, such a large area was prone to causing collateral damage to innocent people. Therefore, when launching an attack, the range of the Thunderstorm was kept as small as possible, increasing its power.

On the other side of the planet, this was the residence of Xingluo Marquis.

This planet wasn't a life-bearing one but rather a mineral-rich one, with various ores. It had been firmly controlled by Xingluo Marquis's forces, and no one had dared to draw attention to it for a long time.

However, what they hadn't expected was that a fleet seemingly appeared out of nowhere and brazenly entered the planet, engaging in a protracted battle with them.

During the course of the battle, they learned that this was an army from the Red Alert Empire. Still, they had never heard of the Red Alert Empire before, so their first thought was that other empires were invading the Rota Empire!

This was a major event. Wars between empires were known to be brutal, and they immediately reported the situation to the Marquis.

Xingluo Marquis issued an order for them to hold their ground at all costs, promising to send reinforcements.

With the Marquis's assurance, they breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure from the Red Alert Empire's army had been immense.

"Red Alert Empire's soldiers are actually stronger than our soldiers. How were they trained?" A staff officer expressed their confusion. After all, their soldiers had undergone brutal training to reach their current level. Still, in a basic comparison, they seemed to be falling behind, which was hard to believe.

The soldiers in Xingluo Marquis's forces were at least at the Fifth Tier, with some even reaching Ninth-level Peak. In the Rota Empire, if one's strength didn't reach the Small Galaxy level, they could never become an officer, at most, they could become a high-ranking captain. After reaching the Small Galaxy level, each advancement in tier, along with some military achievements, allowed them to further increase their rank.

On the other hand, many Red Alert soldiers were only at the Fourth Tier in terms of strength, but with the addition of Ghost Patterns, they still possessed combat capabilities. Especially among the close combat units in the base, the most representative were the Beastmen, whose close combat abilities made even the high-ranking members of Xingluo Marquis's forces look twice. Their fighting prowess was nothing short of extraordinary!

If they knew that Red Alert Empire's soldiers were constructed, requiring no training, they would probably despair.

As a group of people discussed how to deal with the Red Alert Empire's attack, a soldier suddenly burst in, "My Lord, there's something unusual with the weather outside!"

They exchanged puzzled looks and hurriedly walked out of the conference room to see for themselves.

Sure enough, there was something unusual with the weather outside. Thunderclouds were churning, occasionally flashing with lightning.

"This planet has thin oxygen and minimal atmosphere. It rarely experiences rain, so why is there such a massive thunderstorm?" one of the staff officers wondered.

"What's the Meteorological Department saying?"

"The Meteorological Department says that the speed at which these thunderclouds are gathering is abnormal. It's likely a large-scale thunderstorm, and we must raise the Protective Shield just in case."

As the Commander of the entire force, he couldn't help but find the appearance of the thunderstorm rather strange.

"Raise the Protective Shield first, and then—"

Before he could finish his sentence, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting a building within the residence.

The building was reduced to rubble and vanished instantly.

The Commander's eyes widened. He had never seen lightning so powerful!

"Raise the Protective Shield, quickly!" he yelled in panic.

Soon, a semi-transparent Protective Shield appeared, enveloping the entire residence. But before they could catch their breath, lightning bolts seemed to go mad, relentlessly striking the Protective Shield, creating ripples upon ripples. (To be continued...)
