The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 526: How Did I Not Know?

Su Chen had long noticed a problem among his subordinates – there were too few research-oriented talents.

While the scientists appeared promising, they fell short as ordinary soldiers. They could only assist Yun Ru's research, with the entire weight of the research resting on her shoulders.

Libra showed promise, but her focus remained on Psychic technology, and her proficiency in other areas was mediocre.

The other Super Soldiers were all similar. Previously, Su Chen had ordered each of them to enter the Combat Laboratory for various studies, but they had made no progress and still relied on Yun Ru.

No matter how talented Yun Ru was, she was only one person. Su Chen had been considering finding her an assistant, and Taru suddenly came into his view.

He knew that Taru, after the disappearance of the Qiluo Civilization's people, had been researching Qiluo Civilization's technology with his partner. He had even successfully transferred his consciousness into an iron sphere, avoiding death when his lifespan reached its limit. Such a skill was not easily attainable.

Someone capable of researching Qiluo Civilization's technology, even if they were from the Ghost Clan, immediately became a candidate for Yun Ru's assistant in Su Chen's eyes.

Otherwise, Su Chen wouldn't have said these words. Only special talents who had value to him were worth his attention.

"I still need to think about it," Taru replied without clear rejection.

"Alright, but I hope it won't take too long," Su Chen agreed.

To control someone, the System required a prerequisite: the person had to be susceptible to Su Chen's Psychic control. This way, the System could ensure their loyalty remained at its maximum.

If Taru didn't abandon his Psychic shield, Su Chen would be unable to control him psychically. Allowing an uncontrollable Ghost Clan member to remain in his base was not an option.

Taru's situation could be taken slowly, but Su Chen wasn't worried. After all, Taru had entered the Red Alert Base, and there was no possibility of leaving.

Just then, Su Chen received a message from Wang Chun.

"Commander, not long ago, Guard Marshal and his team finally found the Kingdom's most powerful weapon, the Polar Ice Light. They successfully activated it, destroying a large Ghost Clan stronghold. We have received a video transmission from their location."

Soon, a video reached Su Chen, and as he played it, he saw a large Ghost Clan stronghold below. Many Ghost Clan members were present, including eighth-order ones.

Initially idle, the Ghost Clan members suddenly became covered in a white beam of light descending from the sky, instantly covering the entire stronghold.

In the blink of an eye, all the Ghost Clan members turned into ice sculptures, and the area transformed into a frozen world!

Under the power of this weapon, even eighth-order Ghost Clan members were unable to escape. They were all frozen in place, turned into ice sculptures.

A powerful Ghost Clan stronghold had met its end like this. High-ranking Ghost Clan members who learned of this news would surely be infuriated.

Su Chen stroked his chin, "The Polar Ice Light is more powerful than I imagined, instantly creating absolute zero temperatures. Its power isn't inferior to my Psychic Controller."

Currently, Su Chen's most potent superweapon was undoubtedly the Psychic Controller. This device had risen to prominence thanks to the formidable Psychic technology it relied upon.

With the support of Psychic technology, the PsychicController produced Psychic shockwaves capable of instantly killing all those below the Small Galaxy level. As for whether it could deal with Small Galaxy-level experts, Su Chen had yet to try.

Now that they had the Polar Ice Light, humanity possessed a Superweapon that posed a threat to the Ghost Clan. This meant that the Ghost Clan might not be as audacious as before.

For Su Chen, this was a favorable development. The Ghost Clan's attention would be drawn towards the human alliance, allowing him to secretly build his own power.

Currently, the number of personnel at the Base was still insufficient. Su Chen needed to quickly establish over a hundred million Red Alert troops!

Developing such a massive force on Earth was impossible, but it was entirely feasible on Yan Yun Star. There were numerous untapped mineral resources here, as well as black Energy Crystals within Ghost Clan bodies, each item carrying Energy Points. Not to mention, Red Alert troops would earn Energy Points as rewards for killing enemies.

If it weren't for the daily expenditure of Energy Points to construct various troops and weapons, Su Chen's Energy Points reserve should still be substantial.

Looking at his dwindling Energy Points, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh, "Energy Points are still insufficient."

Seemingly intimidated by the power of the Polar Ice Light, the Ghost Clan had been remarkably quiet during this time, not taking any action.

Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the human alliance, bolstered by the deterrent power of the Polar Ice Light, had quickly reclaimed much territory. It gave people hope, making them believe that only the human alliance could lead them back to their former way of life.

Many City Lord-level Experts expressed their desire to join the human alliance. However, the entry requirements for the human alliance had become more stringent. To join, City Lord-level Experts had only one condition to meet – they must personally kill an eighth-order Ghost Clan member. Only then could they join the human alliance!

The number of Sub-bases under Red Alert Base was increasing, spreading across the land of Yan Yun Star. They had even discovered several Bases that originally belonged to Yan Yun Star's native population. However, these Bases either submitted to Red Alert Base or were crushed into dust by it. There was no third option.

Taru had long agreed to become one of Su Chen's subordinates, and he had removed his Psychic shield. So, he proudly became one of Su Chen's true subordinates, loyal and never to betray, though he remained unaware of this fact.

Taru followed behind Yun Ru, learning more knowledge, and occasionally, some of his suggestions were accepted by Yun Ru. Even Yun Ru acknowledged that this assistant was quite good.

Taru had always been researching Qiluo Civilization's technology. On a day when he had nothing else to do, Yun Ru handed over all the information Su Chen had obtained about Qiluo Civilization's technology for Taru to research on his own. Taru had no physical limitations, needing no rest, and was constantly filled with excitement. But on this particular day, he suddenly found Su Chen and asked a question, "Commander, I just heard Big Sis mention that there seems to be some kind of deity behind the Ghost Clan. How come I didn't know about this?"

Su Chen was taken aback, looking at Taru with an even stranger expression, "The deity spoken of by the Ghost Clan, isn't that referring to you?" Su Chen had always believed that besides the Ghost Clan's ancestor, who else could be their deity? However, seeing Taru's expression, he began to suspect that he might have misunderstood. (To be continued...)
