The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 322: The South Emperor's Limit

The finished product cannot be sold. The Weapons in the hands of the Hyperspace Army soldiers can only be used by them, and no one else can use them.

Unless Su Chen can borrow the ability of the Chrono Legionnaire, he won't be able to use these Weapons; the restrictions are significant.

Su Chen once asked the System why the Weapons of the Chrono Legionnaire couldn't be used by others individually, while other Red Alert Weapons didn't have this limitation.

The System's answer was simple: the technology related to the Chrono Legionnaire Weapons hasn't been thoroughly researched by the base, which means they haven't fully understood the technology, making it impossible for others to use.

To fully comprehend the technology, it will take some time.

Emperor Kong knew that Su Chen was not someone who is difficult to talk to. Even regarding Mecha-related technology, he could share it without hesitation. So, even if it's a Weapon, he wouldn't mind sharing.

Since Su Chen said that this finished Weapon cannot be used by others, Emperor Kong believed him.

"The Mutant Beasts in the ocean pose a significant threat. The number of Mutant Beasts on land can't compare to those in the ocean. Fortunately, they have always occupied the sea, and their strength decreases on land. Otherwise, facing more Mutant Beasts simultaneously, humans won't be able to handle it."

Emperor Kong sighed. This incident served as a significant warning to them. Even if they launch an all-out attack, they can't leave the interior empty.

So, Emperor Kong gave the order for some Transcendents to go back and rest, also guarding various Base Cities. Of course, they follow a rotation system, and they can't be stationed in Base Cities indefinitely.

The temporary schedule is a monthly rotation.

Regarding the defense of the Base Cities being resolved, the external battles continued.

The battle was deadlocked. Humans wanted to advance quickly, but it was evident that it wasn't easy. Mutant Beasts, on the other hand, continued to gather large numbers of their kind to attack humans.

This time, Su Chen didn't let the Red Alert base intervene. Even the four Sub-bases scattered outside of human territory were placed on the highest red alert, shooting down all Mutant Beasts within range!

The battle lasted for five days, and both humans and Mutant Beasts were furious, fighting each other on sight.

During the day, it was humans' home field, but at night, Mutant Beasts took advantage of the darkness to launch attacks, putting great pressure on the human warriors.

After all, humans were not machines. Four hours of continuous fighting was a massive burden on them. Even the Human Emperor's eyes were bloodshot.

"This is not sustainable. We must give the warriors some time to rest. The current burden is too heavy," Eastern Emperor, who was famous for being strict, felt reluctant.

He had personally witnessed several Transcendent warriors with great potential perish due to lack of rest.

Even Transcendents made of steel couldn't hold on after five full days of continuous fighting.

"But now, the Mutant Beasts seem intentionally to wear us down. Not a single eighth-order Mutant Beast or Mutant King has appeared," Western Emperor said helplessly.

The Kings were defeated by the Mutant Beasts' tactics. If they could kill an eighth-order Mutant Beast, the uncommanded Mutant Beasts would surely disperse. But now, not even one eighth-order Mutant Beast appeared. It seemed they had decided to wear down humans.

Even if humans could endure, they still couldn't match the numbers of Mutant Beasts and Mutants, even if they combined all their forces.

They might have at most two billion, while the opponent had several tens of billions. How could they compete?

Thinking of this, Emperor Kong's face turned grim. "Emperor Su, do you still have any nuclear bombs? Launch a few more."

Upon hearing about nuclear bombs, everyone's eyes lit up.

Indeed, having nuclear bombs might be able to intimidate the enemy and give their warriors some time to rest.

Human warriors have never feared war, but they still need some time to rest. Even if we put all the Humans on a rotating shift, some of the weaker warriors can take turns, but who can replace some Sixth Order peak or even Seventh Order Controllers?

At this rate, in less than a month, Humans' four major fronts might collapse on their own.

When they were worried about the inability of the Human warriors to rest, something happened that shocked all the Human Emperors.

The South Emperor is in critical condition!

At the moment, in a room in the southern front, the South Emperor lay on a bed, surrounded by several people with solemn expressions.

The South Emperor's face was pale, his breathing weak. If it weren't for his heart still beating, he might have been mistaken for a deceased Old Man.

"How is the South Emperor's condition?" someone asked a doctor.

"The South Emperor's body has reached its limit. He is now relying solely on his own power to cling to the last breath," the doctor shook his head.

Others had grim expressions. The South Emperor was the strongest among the Humans and their protector. Without the South Emperor deterring the Mutant Beasts, Humans would never have had the opportunity to develop for thirty years; they would have been overrun by Mutant Beasts long ago.

But no matter how powerful a person is, there comes a day when their life reaches its end. They just didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Only the doctor knew that the South Emperor had suffered numerous hidden injuries from years of battles. These injuries had been suppressed before, but with the South Emperor's advancing age, some of these injuries became uncontrollable, leading to his declining health until now.

"South Emperor, is there anything you want to say?" someone approached and asked in a low voice.

The South Emperor barely opened his mouth, his voice barely audible: "Summon the Emperor Su."

The person was confused. Why did the South Emperor want to summon the Emperor Su? Did he have something to tell the Emperor Su?

But matters between the Kings were not something he had the authority to know. He immediately contacted the Red Alert base, and the message reached Su Chen's ears.

"What? The South Emperor's life is coming to an end?" Su Chen's face changed.

The news about the South Emperor was kept very discreet, even Su Chen was unaware. However, he knew that once the South Emperor passed away, Humans would lose a mighty force capable of withstanding the Mutant Beasts.

When Su Chen learned that the South Emperor had specifically requested to see him before his passing, he felt curious. What did the South Emperor have to tell him at such a critical moment?

Su Chen hurried to the southern front and met with the South Emperor. Only the two of them were present. Conversations between Kings were not for others to listen.

"South Emperor, your body..." Su Chen, being an eighth-order strong, could naturally see the South Emperor's condition, which was very bad.

If it weren't for the South Emperor's immense strength, he would probably have already passed away.

"My body can't hold on any longer. I called you here to tell you two things," the South Emperor coughed twice, and his eyes became increasingly dim. (To be continued)
