The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 501: Fresh News

There was an abundance of claims to lineage and ancestry, leading to a situation where, in these Red Alert Empires, everyone seemed to have multiple descendants.

When this result was reported to Su Chen, he nearly choked on his own saliva.

People were going to great lengths to become residents of the Red Alert Empire, but as long as they didn't resort to any unethical means such as coercion or bribery, Su Chen couldn't be bothered.

"The basic rules remain the same. Absorb a few Red Alert Empire residents every so often, and these people won't have any other intentions."

As long as these people hadn't done anything detrimental to the Empire's interests, Su Chen didn't mind them all joining in. However, they were given the choice initially, and they chose to decline. Su Chen couldn't be blamed for that.

"Yes, Commander," Ju Ling standing by the side replied.

Su Chen remembered that the mission required protecting ten cities within seven days. Only two days had passed so far, and they couldn't afford to let their guard down.

This time, the Ghost Clan's attack was on a massive scale. Apart from these ten cities, several other cities had suffered severe damage, and many cities had already been completely destroyed, with their human inhabitants turned into the Ghost Clan's reserves. This news had quickly spread to all the surrounding cities, igniting the fury of humanity.

Likewise, in this battle, the presence of many Bases had emerged. These were some of the last remaining Bases on Yan Yun Star, and their survival until now indicated their considerable strength. With their assistance, some of the cities had barely managed to repel the invading Ghost Clan.

"This is the 17th ranked Spiral Fang Base. I never expected it to be a Base primarily focused on destructive power. Are the people from this Base insane? Suicide bombings and all?"

Seeing the style of this Base, Su Chen couldn't help but think of a sub-camp he had forgotten about. Their style was similar, always eager to self-destruct. Su Chen didn't like this sub-camp and had only built a few units and weapons for it in the early stages. Later, he didn't deploy a large number of their troops and weapons.

Weapons could still be used, but the idea of having their troops self-destruct didn't sit right with Su Chen.

It was thanks to the desperate battle of Spiral Fang Base that one of the cities had been saved. Now, the people in that city regarded Spiral Fang Base as their savior, almost treating the Spiral Fang Base Commander as their City Lord.

This massive Ghost Clan attack had caught these Bases off guard. They understood the principle of "when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold." They had to send troops to help the surrounding cities; otherwise, if a city fell, they wouldn't last much longer either.

Su Chen was in a good mood, but the high-ranking members of the human alliance were not. The Marshal had led a group of people to White Bone Mountain Range in search of the Polar Ice Light. Currently, this place was managed by a Deputy Alliance Leader who had reached the late ninth stage, on par with Wang Chun, but the real power was above him.

"How's the situation now?" the Deputy Alliance Leader asked.

"We received news not long ago. Originally, we controlled about 17 regions, but today, five of them have completely fallen, and the remaining regions have suffered varying degrees of losses," someone reported with a heavy tone.

The people around them immediately turned grim. In just one day, they had lost five regions. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the entire Yan Yun Star fell.

When that happened, they would have no choice but to escape Yan Yun Star on Warships. However, even if they escaped, they would only drift through space because they knew that other inhabited planets were facing similarly dire situations.

"How many casualties has the Ghost Clan suffered in such a large-scale operation?" the Deputy Alliance Leader asked without changing his expression.

"It's impossible to provide an exact count. We can only estimate a rough number, and it's likely that the Ghost Clan has lost nearly ten million."

The Deputy Alliance Leader nodded slightly. Such losses were close to what he had expected. After all, attacking so many places at once, the Ghost Clan would have to commit a substantial number of soldiers. Even if they calculated based on a million per region, it would still require nearly twenty million Ghost Clan members for so many regions.

While the Ghost Clan was formidable, human Weapons were no pushovers. Despite their greater losses in battle, the Ghost Clan's losses would not be insignificant either.

"What about our casualties?"

Upon hearing this question, the expressions of the human powerhouses present tightened. They knew they were about to hear a more brutal number.

Sure enough, the person reporting spoke in a low voice, "Human casualties... five hundred million!"

Hearing this enormous loss, the faces of several human powerhouses twitched. Although they had heard this number before, it still sent shivers down their spines. These people were their fellow humans, after all.

The Deputy Alliance Leader knew that most of these people were ordinary civilians, and the true warriors numbered less than fifty million.

Unlike the Ghost Clan, not every human was a warrior. Many had no combat ability and could only pray for victory from the safety of the rear.

If they won, they could continue to live. If they lost, they would become reserves for the Ghost Clan.

Everyone knew that the Ghost Clan viewed humans as food. Some people, in order to avoid being eaten alive by the Ghost Clan, would rather commit suicide than witness the horrors of the Ghost Clan.

"Chief Guard, with so many casualties, can Ghost Emperor quickly repair the Ghost Patterns?" the Deputy Alliance Leader asked Wang Chun.

Wang Chun replied calmly, "I'm not Ghost Emperor, so I don't know his exact condition. However, with so many casualties, it's very likely. Once he fully recovers, he might even break through the final bottleneck and reach that level."

Upon hearing this, even the Deputy Alliance Leader couldn't help but inhale sharply. That level was truly invincible for them.

"Our strength is far inferior to the Ghost Clan, whether it's the number of experts or the total number of warriors. I hope Marshal can find the Polar Ice Light quickly. As long as the Polar Ice Light can destroy the Ghost Clan's main base, we have a chance."

"The problem is, who knows where the Ghost Clan's main base is?" Wang Chun's words struck at the heart of the Deputy Alliance Leader.

Indeed, after such a long time, none of them knew where the Ghost Clan's main base was. It was as if the Ghost Clan's main base didn't exist.

Without knowing the location of the main base, even if Polar Ice Light managed to kill a few Ghost Clan elites or a large number of regular Ghost Clan soldiers, it wouldn't deal a crippling blow to the Ghost Clan.

As the meeting room fell into silence, the person responsible for the report seemed to see something and excitedly exclaimed, "Deputy Alliance Leader, there's breaking news!" (To be continued...)
