Chapter 543: Disturbance and Farewell
Launching a full-scale attack against the Ghost Clan required more than just the efforts of the Restoration Army alone. Su Chen, using the name of the Red Alert Base Commander, arranged a meeting with the Marshal of the Human Alliance. The upcoming battle was no trivial matter.
"Marshal, a video request has been received from the Red Alert Base Commander. Should we accept it?" a subordinate reported to the Marshal.
The Marshal furrowed his brow. He was well aware of the name Red Alert Base, a powerful force that had quickly gained control of several regions in a short time.
"The planet's network has been inexplicably disrupted, and with our technology, we can only extend communication within a range of ten thousand kilometers. Could it be that the people from the Red Alert Base have superior technology?" The thought crossed the Marshal's mind. Little did he know that Su Chen's communication technology allowed him to contact anywhere without hindrance.
"Connect."
Immediately, a screen appeared before the Marshal. At first glance, he saw a young man who appeared to be in his early twenties—a youth that seemed excessively young.
At such a tender age, he held the position of a Base Commander. Could he have inherited the base?
Marshal had these thoughts, but he wasn't foolish enough to voice them out loud. He nodded slightly and said, "Hello, I am the Alliance Leader of the Human Alliance and the former Marshal of the previous kingdom. You can call me Marshal."
"I am Su Chen, the Commander of the Red Alert Base. The reason I contacted you, Marshal, is to inform you of something important," Su Chen's voice was soothing, causing the Marshal to wonder if it was the same person who had previously uttered the word "go away."
The Marshal had heard about the missing Deputy Alliance Leader and the tense relationship between the Deputy Alliance Leader and the Red Alert Base. He had assumed that the Red Alert Base Commander was an arrogant individual. Now, it seemed like he had made a mistake.
"Please proceed," the Marshal's expression grew serious. He knew that this contact had a specific purpose, and what would be said next was of utmost importance.
Su Chen's lips curled up, a hint of playfulness in his tone. "I am preparing to launch a full-scale attack against the Ghost Clan. I hope that not only the Human Alliance, but other factions as well, will join the effort."
Even with the Marshal's wisdom, he couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression. Had the Red Alert Base Commander become overly confident?
How could the current strength of humanity possibly contend with the Ghost Clan? It was known that they had researched the strengths of both sides, and the final assessment had given them less than a thirty percent chance of victory. How could they fight under such circumstances?
Especially now that the Ghost Emperor had appeared, greatly boosting the morale of the Ghost Clan. The skirmishes that had erupted in various places had made the Ghost Clan even more formidable. Humanity was clearly not their match.
"Su Chen, Commander, launching an attack now seems reckless. Shouldn't we wait a bit longer?" The Marshal offered words of caution. After all, Su Chen was not under his command, and he had no authority to give orders.
What was more, the Marshal had deduced from certain information that the Red Alert Base possessed formidable individuals equal to or even greater than himself.
Su Chen was aware that the Marshal was not entirely convinced. Nonetheless, he was giving him a chance. If he performed well, there might be a place for him in the future when Su Chen controlled Yan Yun Star. But if he didn't make any contributions, Su Chen wouldn't let him become a high-ranking member of the Red Alert Empire.
Not just anyone had the qualifications to be a high-ranking member of the Red Alert Empire, even on Earth. Among the high-ranking members of the Red Alert Empire, only those who had made significant contributions to humanity had a place. Other Base City Controllers were at most considered mid-high-ranking.
Strength without contributions wouldn't do.
Su Chen simply contacted the Human Alliance for now, while other factions were being handled by Ju Ling and Tanya. They wouldn't know that their choices would determine their future.
"In the name of the Restoration Army, we declare war on the Ghost Clan."
Since it was a battle, they might as well make it grand. Su Chen didn't want to control the planet with a shady reputation, especially since many on the planet still harbored fantasies of returning to the time when the kingdom existed. A troublesome situation would arise if they took control in an irregular manner.
Su Chen was averse to trouble. Installing Prince Hewlett as the ruler was the best choice. As the son of the former kingdom's king, he was undoubtedly a legitimate candidate for restoring the kingdom.
The day he became king would also be the day he became a Puppet! freēwebnovel.com
Indeed, when the Restoration Army officially declared war on the Ghost Clan, the entire human population of Yan Yun Star was in an uproar. They cheered for Prince Hewlett and the Restoration Army, eagerly wanting to join its ranks and become members. Prince Hewlett was overjoyed.
However, he was cautious and didn't deploy all his forces. They attacked only one city controlled by the Ghost Clan. Prince Hewlett believed that these indulgent Ghost Clan members must have weaker strength.
With a hundred thousand troops at the city gates, Prince Hewlett was in high spirits. This was the first cannon fired after declaring war on the Ghost Clan. Even if it was just for show, they had to fight. They couldn't afford to tarnish the reputation of the Restoration Army.
"Open fire!"
Tens of thousands of cannons fired simultaneously. The first wave of attacks came from the main force of the Restoration Army—the Tank Legion.
Various formidable tanks launched countless dazzling shells onto the city walls, almost shattering them. freёwebnovel.com
"Who dares to attack my Ghost Clan? You're asking for death!" A furious roar emanated from within the city, revealing a Seventh Order Ghost Clan member who stormed out, ready to demonstrate his strength with his fists.
However, when he saw the enemy lined up densely in front of him, his expression changed dramatically. He turned and fled, saying, "I apologize for the intrusion. I'll take my leave." (To be continued...)
