The Last Commander of the Red Alert

"Do you know Yan Yun Star?" Su Chen hadn't expected Yao Yifei to be familiar with this planet.

"Normally, I wouldn't, but I overheard people talking about Yan Yun Star at a gathering once. They said it's a very backward planet, where Mecha, which had long been obsolete on our planet, are still bestsellers. I found it interesting and listened to more. I remembered the name of that planet."

"So, does that mean your Feitian Star is also part of the Rota Empire?"

"Yes, Feitian Star is indeed within the Rota Empire, considered one of the top-ranking planets, although it falls short of the Imperial Star."

As their conversation continued, Su Chen began to grasp the situation of the Rota Empire. This empire controlled at least three large galaxies, including the one where Earth and Yan Yun Star were located.

Compared to the central regions of the galaxy, the locations of Earth and Yan Yun Star were extremely remote, and few people were willing to come here.

In other words, Yan Yun Star was already one of the most remote planets known to the Rota Empire, and they hadn't discovered Earth.

If the Red Alert Empire wanted to rise, they couldn't avoid dealing with the Rota Empire. Su Chen needed to gather intelligence; he never engaged in battles without sufficient information.

"Do you know the strength of the Rota Empire? Such as the strength and number of strong individuals or the general situation of their army?"

Yao Yifei sighed, "Before coming to this planet, I was just a young lady from a wealthy family. I wouldn't know classified information. But I do have some knowledge of publicly available information. It's said that the Rota Empire has a powerful figure at the Ninth-level Peak of a Large Galaxy. This figure is only a half-step away from achieving the coveted Constellation-level!"

Yao Yifei's eyes gleamed as she mentioned the Constellation-level.

"Ninth-level in a Large Galaxy, indeed quite formidable," Su Chen murmured.

Within the Small Galaxy tier, the power of each level varied greatly, not to mention the Large Galaxy tier. If such a powerful individual emerged, even gathering all the forces at the Red Alert Base would be futile.

"What about their weapons?"

"As for weapons, I recall the Empire has an incredibly powerful one called the Black Hole Annihilation Cannon. It's said to be a weapon created using Empire technology that generates an artificial black hole as its core. However, no one has ever seen this weapon, as no one has dared to challenge the Empire's authority."

Initially, Yao Yifei didn't think much of it, but as Su Chen's questions grew more detailed, especially regarding the Empire's military power, she sensed something amiss.

"Commander, your questions are so detailed, are you thinking..." A terrifying thought popped into Yao Yifei's mind.

"Yes, exactly as you're thinking," Su Chen replied with a brilliant smile.

Yao Yifei was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. "It's not that I underestimate you, Commander. With your current power, taking on the Rota Empire would be a joke. Not to mention the entire Empire's power, even the Feitian Star's forces alone would be beyond your reach."

"Are you sure you've seen my full capabilities?" Su Chen smiled mysteriously.

Yao Yifei's laughter stopped abruptly. Indeed, she seemed to be unaware of the true extent of the Red Alert Base's power. She had only seen the surface.

"Commander, do you possess absolute power to control a planet? I mean, absolute power!" Yao Yifei asked with a serious expression.

"Besides this planet, I have another one in my hands," Su Chen replied without revealing the existence of Earth.

Yao Yifei widened her eyes. "Do you know the highest level of power on that planet?"

"It's Ninth-level in the Small Galaxy tier."

Yao Yifei was completely shocked. As far as she knew, the highest power on the Empire's Feitian Star was indeed at the Ninth-level in the Large Galaxy tier, but the highest power on Su Chen's planet was only at the Ninth-level in the Small Galaxy tier!

Before him stood someone who had actually conquered such a formidable planet. Did this mean there was hope for her Feitian Star?

Plop!

Yao Yifei immediately knelt on the ground and cried out, "Commander, I implore you to send troops to Feitian Star. My homeland can no longer hold on!"

Su Chen's gaze sharpened. "Feitian Star can't hold on? What do you mean?"

"Since Commander has control over a planet, you should have noticed something unusual on that planet, something other than humans, right?"

Seeing Su Chen nod, Yao Yifei continued, "It's not just the planet you control. As far as I know, many planets are facing the same situation. Unknown enemies suddenly appeared on every planet, attacking humans. Before I came to this planet, Feitian Star had already lost a quarter of its territory."

"We immediately contacted other planets, but the news we received was unimaginable. Every inhabited planet is facing bizarre foes, including many known enemies of humanity, but most are unprecedented. Each planet is struggling to defend itself."

"Now that Commander has such power, I earnestly request you to send troops to Feitian Star and save my fellow citizens!"

Yao Yifei kept banging her head on the ground, and before long, her forehead was covered in blood.

Su Chen remained expressionless and calmly said, "Do you think the lives of your fellow citizens are more important than the lives of my subordinates?"

Yao Yifei fell silent, realizing she had been too presumptuous. Even if they could reach Feitian Star in time, there might not be a single survivor left. Why should Su Chen rescue Feitian Star just because she asked him to?

Just when Yao Yifei felt disheartened, Su Chen spoke again, "Rota Empire's star system will inevitably become part of my Red Alert Empire sooner or later. When that happens, Feitian Star will belong to my Red Alert Empire, and rescuing it will be our duty, but not for now."

Yao Yifei saw a glimmer of hope and hastily said, "I believe Feitian Star can hold on for a while longer, as long as Commander is willing to help."

Su Chen considered using his psychic power to control this woman directly. Once he had the coordinates of Feitian Star, she would no longer be useful. However, to his surprise, his psychic power had no effect on her. It was truly baffling.

For the sake of obtaining Feitian Star's coordinates, Su Chen refrained from dealing with this woman for now and ordered the Red Alert soldiers to keep her under strict surveillance.

After the woman left, Ju Ling bent down and said, "Commander, all the inhabited planets are in trouble. The Rota Empire is surely overwhelmed. We can take advantage of this opportunity to gradually control various planets, expanding the territory of the Red Alert Empire for Commander!"

"Commander, Tanya is willing to serve as the vanguard!"

Looking at his two closest Super Soldiers, Su Chen understood the significance of their choice. Space warfare was no child's play, and one mistake could lead to disaster.

Most importantly, if they wanted to rapidly conquer various planets, they would need to divide their forces, with each Super Soldier leading a portion. That was the best course of action. (To be continued...)
