Chapter 515: Is This Really His Doing?
The destruction of the Ghost Clan's major stronghold and the discovery of many captive humans within sent the entire Restoration Army into a furious rage.
They had heard before that the Ghost Clan kept humans as livestock, but seeing the condition of these humans with their own eyes, they found the Ghost Clan's cruelty to be beyond measure.
The number of humans rescued from this ordeal exceeded one hundred thousand. They had never dreamed of living to see another day, and they now remembered the army that had saved them—the Restoration Army. frёeωebɳovel.com
These individuals were naturally absorbed into Base City, becoming reserves for the Restoration Army. Wherever Prince Hewlett went, he was greeted with cheers from the people. He thoroughly enjoyed this newfound respect.
However, he knew that the main reason they had been able to destroy the Ghost Clan's major stronghold this time was that all the Ghost Clan members of eighth rank or higher had been dealt with by the Red Alert Base.
Even though they couldn't witness the aerial battles, they could imagine how intense the fighting had been. After all, a Ghost Clan major stronghold would have at least dozens of eighth-ranked powerhouses!
Prince Hewlett suppressed his hidden agenda, understanding that he needed to possess real power before he could have a direct conversation with Commander. He wasn't there yet; he needed more manpower and stronger individuals.
"I heard that the Guard Marshal has formed an alliance by himself. If I bring him into my fold, won't I have an elite force?" Prince Hewlett thought.
Even without using Psychic power, Su Chen knew that Prince Hewlett was feeling inflated. Inflating oneself was not desirable; he needed a Prince who would follow orders.
So, a Chrono Legionnaire appeared in Prince Hewlett's room, engaging in a profound conversation with him. After the Chrono Legionnaire left, Prince Hewlett no longer showed any signs of arrogance, even when people approached him for autographs, he remained expressionless.
No one knew what had happened to Prince Hewlett. His subordinates dared not question him, so they pretended not to see anything.
Seeing that Prince Hewlett had settled down, Su Chen no longer paid attention to him and turned his gaze to Rabbit.
After Rabbit's return, it had been sleeping soundly and hadn't moved at all.
"Commander, I've checked Rabbit, and its body shows no abnormalities. In fact, it's in excellent condition, and its energy is slowly increasing. When it wakes up, it should reach the ninth rank," Yun Ru reported.
Currently, Rabbit was highly regarded in Base, capable of restoring Shadow Ghosts to normal with its saliva. It had even made a significant contribution in the recent battle. If possible, Su Chen really wanted to mass-produce this Rabbit.
"By the way, have you ever tried creating a Clone of Rabbit?" Su Chen asked.
"We tried it a long time ago, but even as a Clone, it lacks the salivary ability to restore Shadow Ghosts to normal. Moreover, it can't consume Ghost Clan members as food. It's essentially just a Rabbit with slightly enhanced strength and no other abilities," Yun Ru replied.
Su Chen was somewhat disappointed. It would have been great if the Clone had been useful. It seemed that Yuri and Libra's clones were truly unique?
Not everyone's Clone was identical to their original self. Among all the soldier types, only these two were considered Clones.
Next, Su Chen turned his gaze to Ju Ling, who was standing beside him. "How are you feeling now?"
Ju Ling seemed surprised by Su Chen's sudden question. She hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'm fine, Commander. Thank you for your concern."
"You are my servant, after all. If something were to happen to you, who would take care of me?" Su Chen said casually.
Tanya, being smart, refrained from interrupting. However, her eyes held a hint of amusement when she looked at Ju Ling.
Su Chen noticed this too. After coming out, these Super Soldiers seemed less rigid with time. They weren't as formal as before, but they still showed great respect when facing him.
Once Ju Ling was back, Su Chen immediately handed her a ninth-rank Energy Crystal to replenish the energy she had consumed. A ninth-rank Energy Crystal was extraordinary, and most soldiers didn't have the qualifications to use one.
After chatting for a while, Su Chen's expression turned serious as he began discussing important matters.
"The destruction of the Ghost Clan's first major stronghold means they won't just sit idly by. Sooner or later, they will come looking for us. What should we do next?" Su Chen looked at the three women.
Yun Ru responded without hesitation, "We should strike first and wipe out all of the Ghost Clan's major strongholds."
"Good idea, but do you think we have the strength for that?" Su Chen asked in return.
Yun Ru pursed her lips and remained silent. She knew it was quite unrealistic.
Even the three of them had struggled to attack a Ghost Clan major stronghold. If it hadn't been for Rabbit's intervention, they might have been in danger. If the next major stronghold presented the same situation, they wouldn't have Rabbit to save them.
"I suggest we continue to be cautious. If the Ghost Clan launches an attack, we can completely wear them down using Base's strength," Tanya suggested.
"That's correct, but being too cautious isn't enough. We need to stir up some trouble for the Ghost Clan."
"Stir up trouble?" The three women looked at Su Chen curiously.
"Do you think the Ghost Clan would remain calm if they found out that their old home had problems? Especially when most of the high-ranking Ghost Clan members from the Underworld have moved to the surface. Underworld is facing a void it has never experienced before, and at this moment, Libra might actually be able to take over Underworld."
When this news reaches the ears of the high-ranking members of the Ghost Clan, they will probably panic. After all, it's their old home. Anyone whose home was destroyed would feel uneasy.
While Su Chen and the others were discussing how to deal with the Ghost Clan, outside, a piece of news had already caused a commotion.
The Ghost Clan's major stronghold had been annihilated!
And the ones who had destroyed it were none other than the Restoration Army, which had previously been considered a joke by the Ghost Clan!
Their first reaction upon hearing this news was to wonder if they had misheard.
But regardless of the source, the news confirmed that it was true—the Ghost Clan's major stronghold was gone.
"Great, well done! If the Restoration Army comes here, I'll definitely be the first to join!"
"I can't believe it. That inconspicuous Prince Hewlett from before actually has such great leadership. Did he really do this?"
Most people preferred to believe that this news was true. However, the other Princes, upon seeing this news, were unwilling to accept it.
Once they believed it to be true, they would begin to doubt themselves. Were they even worse than Prince Hewlett?
