The Last Commander of the Red Alert

ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: The Last Commander of the Red Alert XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX Stepping down from the warship, Yun Ru's f

Stepping down from the warship, Yun Ru's first glimpse of Fengbao Star was truly a sight to behold. The planet lived up to its name, surrounded by a raging tempest of storm that enveloped the entire celestial body.

What was most extraordinary was that this type of storm existed only about a hundred kilometers above the planet, with no trace of it anywhere else.

Seeming to anticipate Yun Ru's curiosity, Fengpiter took the initiative to explain, "Chief Yun, Fengbao Star was originally an extremely harsh environment. Through generations of development by the Empire, coupled with some technological prowess, it eventually took on this appearance. Don't be fooled by our smooth entry; if a warship intrudes without permission, it would be torn apart by the storm inside. This type of storm can withstand the attacks of ordinary Large Galaxy-level powerhouses!"

Yun Ru suddenly understood. This storm was akin to a Weather Control Device, but instead of creating thunderstorms with lightning as the main attack, the primary force here was the storm itself.

"Quite an impressive technology," Yun Ru praised.

This kind of mastery wasn't achieved overnight. Forming a storm cycle required considerable effort, something Yun Ru could achieve but deemed unnecessary.

A hint of a smile appeared on Fengpiter's face. The blow they had received in the Red Alert Empire was substantial, almost making him think Fengbao Empire was nothing. Hearing Yun Ru's praise felt like a much-needed victory.

Amidst Fengpiter's grand welcome, Yun Ru, accompanied by several Red Alert soldiers, entered the imperial city to meet the emperor of Fengbao Empire.

"Did Red Alert Empire destroy Rota Empire? Hmm! Even if it's not as powerful as our Fengbao Empire, it shouldn't be that much weaker, right?"

"I can't recall hearing about an empire being wiped out for tens of thousands of years. Red Alert Empire is truly formidable."

"Here's an even more shocking piece of news. Do you know how long it took Red Alert Empire to annihilate Rota Empire?"

"I guess at least a couple of thousand years?"

"Hehe, you'd never guess. Red Alert Empire took just over a year to wipe out Rota Empire!"

Gasps echoed around them. They had never considered that one empire could eliminate another in such a short time.

Just who is Red Alert Empire, and why are they so powerful?

With the envoy dispatched, could they be preparing to wage war against Fengbao Empire?

The thought unsettled many.

In the Grand Hall of the imperial palace, Fengbao Empire's Emperor, who appeared robust, sat on the throne, observing Yun Ru and the others below.

"It's truly surprising. In just over a year, Rota Empire is gone. Red Alert Empire is quite formidable," Fengbao Emperor nodded slightly, expressing his admiration.

"These matters are of little importance. Under the orders of my sovereign, we have come to assist your nation in resolving the Celestial Path issue," Yun Ru stated calmly.

Her mission was clear - to obtain the instrument for establishing the Celestial Path. Other matters were not her concern.

At this moment, Fengpiter stepped forward, quickly relaying some insights about Red Alert Empire to Fengbao Emperor. Even with the emperor's composure, a hint of surprise couldn't help but show. Red Alert Empire was not only powerful in martial strength but also surpassed Fengbao Empire in technological prowess. Fengpiter, who had lost all three previous sparring matches, emphasized this point.

Fengbao Emperor had to take Red Alert Empire's presence seriously now. Perhaps in the future, Fengbao Empire might need to align itself with the might of Red Alert Empire.

Though he pondered this internally, Fengbao Emperor showed no change in demeanor. "Chief Yun, there's no need to rush regarding the Celestial Path. The planet isn't going anywhere. Coincidentally, our Martial Technology Grand Competition, held every ten years, is reaching its climax. Would Chief Yun be willing to attend and, in the process, assess the skills of the young participants?"

This was an invitation from an emperor. If Yun Ru refused, it might affect the relationship between the two empires.

She nodded, "Your Majesty, I'd be honored."

"Haha, not a bother at all. Pete, make the preparations quickly. I will accompany Chief Yun to witness this edition of the Grand Competition," Fengbao Emperor instructed.

"If they knew His Majesty would personally attend, these young participants would be thrilled," Fengpiter chuckled.

In fact, Yun Ru had been curious about Fengbao Empire's Grand Competition even before arriving. This opportunity to witness it was significant for any empire, ensuring a continuous source of fresh talent.

Regardless of the empire, relying solely on powerhouses was not sustainable. Every powerhouse had risen from a weaker state.

As strength increased, human lifespan would also grow. Small Galaxy-level powerhouses could live for thousands of years, while Large Galaxy-level powerhouses could endure at least a hundred thousand years.

Unfortunately, most didn't die peacefully in their sleep. A single battle could cost a life, and even some accidents were beyond the resistance of Large Galaxy-level powerhouses.

Despite their seemingly youthful appearances, Fengpiter and Fengbao Emperor were not young. Yun Ru had Alice calculate their ages, revealing Fengpiter to be around seventy-eight thousand years old, meaning he had little room for further advancement. Fengbao Emperor, appearing much younger, was about a thousand years old, and his strength had just reached the ninth stage of Small Galaxy.

Before, Yun Ru might have been puzzled about why an empire's emperor was seemingly weak, as was the case with Rota Empire. But recently, she learned the reason.

In each empire, when an emperor reached the level of Large Galaxy, they were obligated to go to the Human Frontline for battle. Failure to comply would brand them as human traitors.

That was why the emperors' strength was limited to Small Galaxy.

Accustomed to life in the Red Alert Base, Yun Ru once thought that there were many powerhouses at the levels of Large and Small Galaxy in the universe. In reality, such powerhouse levels were relatively rare, especially when compared to the human population.

Most people reaching Small Galaxy before a hundred years old were considered prodigies.

Seated in an emperor's dedicated airship, Yun Ru observed everything below. In her eyes, not everyone in Fengbao Empire's Imperial Star was Transcendent; there were still a considerable number of ordinary people, incomparable to Red Alert Empire.

Any resident of Red Alert Empire received the Transcendent Elixir, making ordinary people directly become first-tier Transcendents.

"We've arrived at the Grand Competition venue," Fengpiter's voice sounded at this moment.
