The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Within just a week, humanity managed to advance the battlefront by tens of thousands of kilometers, wiping out two to three ten million members of the Ghost Clan.

The morale of humanity surged, with countless ordinary people enlisting in the army, eager to contribute in these historic times.

Of course, that was just the apparent reason. Their true intentions lay in the rewards and honors they would receive after the nation's restoration, with those having made significant contributions reaping the greatest benefits. Should they distinguish themselves, the rewards would be beyond imagination.

As the territories of the Ghost Clan rapidly diminished, some began to ponder their path after the nation's restoration.

Presently, Yan Yun Star was dominated by three major forces. Leading the pack was the Restoration Army, helmed by Prince Hewlett, the legitimate heir. Joining the Restoration Army meant guaranteed prospects for the future.

However, the human alliance, possessing the majority of human elites, was a force to be reckoned with.

Yet, what perplexed many was the presence of the Red Alert Empire.

Should Prince Hewlett's restoration succeed, what would become of the Red Alert Empire?

There could only be one nation in Yan Yun Star. Either Prince Hewlett's newly restored nation or the Red Alert Empire would prevail, making the human alliance's role seem less significant in comparison.

Following a routine meeting, a close confidant of Prince Hewlett approached, whispering after ensuring they were alone, "Your Highness, there are whispers suggesting that the existence of the Red Alert Empire threatens your position. Should we..."

The insinuation was clear. Once the Ghost Clan threat was quelled, the focus would shift to the restoration, and the Red Alert Empire would stand as a hindrance that needed removal.

The confidant might have a point, but he was unaware of a critical detail: Prince Hewlett was no longer himself. Now, he was controlled by one of the Yuri Clones.

Prince Hewlett, without betraying any emotion, replied, "Do nothing. I have my plans."

The confidant respectfully retreated. Prince's word was final, and he knew better than to overstep.

While the confidant followed Prince Hewlett's orders, it became widely known that some power was emphasizing the Red Alert Empire as the primary obstacle to the nation's restoration.

Citizens of cities under the control of Red Alert Base, not yet pledged to the Red Alert Empire, grew wary upon hearing this. No longer were they enthusiastic about joining, opting to watch from the sidelines instead.

For those already part of the Red Alert Empire, fear was palpable. They had never expected Prince Hewlett's restoration to happen so swiftly; it seemed almost unreal.

"Commander, there are numerous rumors targeting the Red Alert Empire. Alice has traced these to the human alliance," Ju Ling reported to Su Chen, who remained unfazed.

"So, the human alliance can't hold back any longer? Do they aim to be the new king's first lackey?" Su Chen mused.

Post-restoration, Yan Yun Star would belong to the king. For the human alliance to thrive, they'd have to curry favor with the king, making the Red Alert Empire a natural target.

Upon Prince Hewlett's restoration, he'd claim a kingdom, making the name 'Red Alert Empire' taboo.

"Commander, I request to join the battle!" Tanya, her face stern, saluted.

Caught off guard, Ju Ling saluted in kind, "I also request to join."

Su Chen waved them off, "No need for you both yet. This mere human alliance can stir up some commotion."

'It'?

Exchanging confused glances, Ju Ling and Tanya pondered over whom Su Chen referred to.

"Parasitic Species, I have a task for you."

Indeed, Su Chen was addressing the Parasitic Species, a unique race he had been nurturing. This species was in the midst of poisoning a Ghost Clan tribe, having set its sights on them.

"Commander, what task?" The Parasitic Species was perplexed. Su Chen had initially instructed it to enhance its toxin while poisoning the Ghost Clan, leading to their reduced combat prowess in battles against human forces.

Without waiting for a reply, Su Chen commanded, "Poison the human alliance. Ensure you don't kill, just incapacitate."

Having issued his order, Su Chen focused on a battlefield where Earth soldiers battled the Ghost Clan. With the powerful Red Alert weapons, Earth soldiers steamrolled the Ghost Clan. With reinforcements like Emperor Kong, the Ghost Clan was in disarray.

Suddenly, a streak of light plummeted, landing amidst the Earth soldiers. It was a member of the Ghost Clan, his appearance bizarre, blood oozing from every orifice and his body swelling ominously.

"He's about to detonate!" Emperor Kong's face paled, ordering a retreat. But it was too late.

BOOM!

The explosion, rivaling a small nuclear bomb, caused massive casualties among Earth soldiers. If not for their psychic shields, the death toll would've been far higher. Only warriors of Fourth Tier and above, with the protection of the psychic shield, barely survived. Those below the Fourth Tier were nearly all wiped out, resulting in close to 20,000 casualties.

This was the heaviest loss for Earth soldiers in a long time. The Emperors were infuriated, especially since they were present and couldn't prevent this act. The speed of the Ghost Clan assailant had left them with no reaction time.

It was a suicide attack from the Ghost Clan!

Emperor Kong noticed the perpetrator was an eighth-order Ghost Clan member. Who could've anticipated such a powerful being resorting to self-destruction?

"Attend to the wounded first. We'll avenge our fallen comrades!" Enraged, Emperor Kong, accompanied by fellow Emperors, dove straight into the Ghost Clan's airspace.

The spectacle was terrifying. Screams echoed from the Ghost Clan's ranks, their numbers dwindling rapidly. Shockingly, no eighth-order beings from their side intervened.

"Emperor Kong, be cautious!" A sudden warning from a spy snapped Emperor Kong back to his senses. A sense of imminent danger flooded him...
