The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Humans held the upper hand, but the resilience of the Ghost Clan surprised them all. Instead of retreating to the Underworld, the Ghost Clan chose to remain on the surface, resisting the humans relentlessly.

The Ghost Clan initiated suicide attacks several times, harnessing the power of Cosmic Behemoth Spectral Moth, a divine entity. In an instant, a Seventh Order Ghost Clan member could severely injure or even kill a City Lord-level Expert. This put the humans on the defensive.

It had been three and a half months since Su Chen and his group arrived at Yan Yun Star. Humans had taken control of nearly 40 regions, while the Ghost Clan still occupied 10.

Recognizing their disadvantage, the Ghost Clan resorted to extreme measures. Unexpectedly, they began using advanced technology weapons acquired from humans against them, a development unprecedented in the conflict.

"Your Highness, the Ghost Clan is going all out now. Our soldiers' morale is low. If we continue down this path, there's a chance the Ghost Clan could turn the tables. I suggest we continue to disperse our forces and gradually reclaim Ghost Clan territory," proposed Marshal.

The Human Alliance and the Restoration Army joined forces to combat the Ghost Clan. However, the Red Alert Empire, one of the three major powers, had only dispatched a City Lord-level Expert, without uttering a word.

In fact, many had noticed that the Red Alert Empire seemed uninterested in attacking the Ghost Clan. Were it not for fear of the Red Alert Empire's power, the assembled group would likely have erupted in protest.

"The Ghost Clan is no longer a threat. We must concentrate all our power and completely eliminate them," Hewlett declared firmly.

Marshal couldn't help but feel frustrated. Currently, the Restoration Army held the most sway within the coalition, and even though he was a Marshal, his authority paled in comparison to Prince Hewlett.

He turned to the City Lord-level Expert from the Red Alert Empire and asked, "May I inquire about your thoughts on this matter?"

"I have no suggestions. Whatever you decide is fine," the City Lord-level Expert replied casually, furrowing Marshal's brow in the process.

Marshal couldn't fathom the Red Alert Empire's intentions. When they first joined the coalition, they had straightforwardly offered powerful weapons at a low price in exchange for autonomy over their army.

Frankly, Marshal was astounded by their approach. Especially after witnessing the might of the Red Alert Empire's weapons, he found it even more baffling. What exactly did the Red Alert Empire want?

The Red Alert Empire did participate in the conflict, but they never fought alongside the coalition, leaving Marshal perplexed about the Emperor's intentions.

Initially, Marshal had assumed the Red Alert Empire was a foolish entity unaware of the concept of an empire. However, upon closer interaction, he realized that they were well aware of what an empire was. Despite this knowledge, they still referred to themselves as the Red Alert Empire. Wasn't this a death wish?

Even if they hadn't witnessed the greatness of an empire, Marshal could imagine its immense power. How could a mere nation on a single planet dare to call itself an empire?

If it weren't for the communication issues, he would have long conveyed the situation on Yan Yun Star to other planets.

Su Chen had already grasped this point. In the early stages of the Ghost Clan's appearance, Yan Yun Star maintained intermittent contact with other planets. However, before long, all communication with other planets ceased, and Yan Yun Star became isolated.

The outcome of the final meeting was as Prince Hewlett had described it: everything was being manipulated behind the scenes by Su Chen.

Su Chen's aim was to control Yan Yun Star, and to do that, he had to deplete the native power of Yan Yun Star. The army mobilized by the Red Alert Empire was mostly comprised of warriors from Earth. Their presence here wasn't for leisure but for honing their skills and bolstering their strength, all in the service of better protecting Earth.

Only after arriving at Yan Yun Star did they realize how limited their previous perspectives had been. The universe was vast, and a single Yan Yun Star was enough to render Earth helpless, not to mention the existence of even more formidable planets.

They all understood that only through personal strength could they have a say in matters. Every warrior was dedicated to relentless cultivation.

By the way, the representative from the Red Alert Empire who had attended the meeting had recently broken through to the Seventh-order Transcendent level.

On the other side, the Ghost Clan had lost its Ghost Emperor and Underworld. Currently, the Ghost Clan was overseen by several Ninth-level Peak Ghost Clan experts, including two Ghost Kings and three Ghost Masters.

"We have no way out. Those traitors have occupied the lower realms, and our people can't break through their defenses. The human offensive is swift, and we can't withstand their immense Weapons with our constitution," remarked one of the Ghost Kings with a grim expression.

In the past, it was the Ghost Clan who had suppressed humans, but now the situation had completely reversed. Since the fall of the Ghost Emperor, the Ghost Clan's condition had deteriorated day by day.

"Does anyone have a solution? If we can rescue the Ghost Clan from this dire situation, we can groom them to become the next Ghost Emperor!" shouted one of the Ninth-level Peak Ghost Masters.

Present were Ghost Clan members of eighth order or higher, and upon hearing this, a stir arose among them.

As the saying goes, "Those who don't aspire to be Ghost Emperors are not true Ghost Clan members." Who wouldn't want to become the supreme existence of the Ghost Clan? However, the current predicament of the Ghost Clan made it an extremely daunting task.

Seeing no one step forward, the Ninth-level Peak Ghost Master felt deeply disappointed. Did this mean the Ghost Clan was truly on the brink of extinction here?

At that moment, a young Ghost Clan member stepped forward and said, "I have a solution."

Instantly, all eyes were fixed on him, filled with anticipation.

"What's your plan?" the Ninth-level Peak Ghost Master asked, tinged with hope.

The young Ghost Clan member smiled confidently and said, "Esteemed elders, since we have no way out and continuing will only lead to the annihilation of our clan by humans, why don't we go all-in?"

"Remember, we have the protection of the divine beings. Using the power bestowed upon us by the divine beings, we can easily deal with the humans!"

The young Ghost Clan member's words were full of stirring rhetoric, instilling hope in many Ghost Clan members.

Seeing this scene, the young Ghost Clan member smirked and continued, "As long as we can find the strongest among the humans, I'm willing to lead a group personally. With the power of the divine beings, we can crush them, and if necessary, I'm willing to be the first to sacrifice my life!"

The expressions of all the Ghost Clan members were deeply moved. They hadn't expected this young Ghost Clan member to possess such unwavering determination!

"Very well! I agree to your plan, and I'll grant you access to half of the Ghost Clan's power!" declared the Ninth-level Peak Ghost Master.

At that moment, no Ghost Clan member was aware that this young Ghost Clan member was secretly reporting to someone, "Commander, Operation 'Walking into a Trap' is ready to commence." (To be continued...)
