Chapter 428: Impressive Strength!
Chapter 428: Impressive Strength!
Su Chen had long grown accustomed to the System making its presence known from time to time, so he was only slightly surprised before returning to his usual composure.
"Are there any other conditions or restrictions? Please explain them all at once."
"There's one more condition: master can only deploy a corresponding number of experts when the opposing side mobilizes experts of the eighth order or above. You cannot actively send eighth order experts into action."
Su Chen's eye twitched. Seriously? You're taking this seriously? I was just speaking casually!
Su Chen understood that the System wanted him to protect these people with other means of power, without using Superweapons or eighth order experts. This definitely raised the difficulty level considerably.
"Tanya, Ju Ling, return. Without my command, those of eighth order or higher are not to participate in the battle."
No one opposed Su Chen's words. Soon, Tanya and Ju Ling returned to his side, resuming their roles as maids.
However, a large number of Red Alert forces armed with various weapons sped towards the location of the Ghost Clan.
Even without eighth order experts, Su Chen was confident in his subordinates' capabilities.
Tank units assembled and set off on the ground, while the sky was dominated by Kirov Airships, along with various flying weapons like Fighter Jets and Helicopters, and even airborne units.
This time, the Red Alert Base was almost fully mobilized!
On the other side, the Ghost Clan was currently dealing with the Beastmen of Burst cultivation, keeping extremely busy. The eighth order Ghost Clan members, acting as the king's bodyguards, had dealt with several powerful Beastmen and had now returned to the side of the Ghost Master.
"Ghost Master, your condition..." the eighth order Ghost Clan member's expression turned somewhat sorrowful. The benevolent elder before him had very little time left.
Each Ghost Master possessed unique abilities, and this elderly Ghost Master had mastered an especially rare ability. This ability was peculiarit couldn't be exactly classified as support or defense; it was like a skill that defied categorization.
He could offer significant assistance to the Ghost Clan while also releasing a special protective membrane during critical moments. This membrane could mitigate certain types of damage.
Because of the presence of the Ghost Master, their group of Ghost Clan members could break through to the surface and reach this point.
Yet, before they could fully enjoy the surface world, they came under attack.
"My condition is not good, but I can hold on a bit longer... cough, cough." The Ghost Master coughed a few times, his eyes half-closed as he looked at the eighth order Ghost Clan member. "How's the casualty situation?"
"About half of our people have turned into those berserk creatures. They keep attacking our clan members. If I find out who's responsible, I'll rip their heads off!" The eighth order Ghost Clan member seethed with anger.
"Other than humans, who else could possess such methods? I thought our forces had wiped out the remnants of humans on the surface long ago. I never expected them to still exist, and their technology is so advanced. If there's really no other option, we should establish contact with them."
The eighth order Ghost Clan member clearly knew who "they" referred to, yet his face displayed hesitation.
"Ah Hao, remember that you're not who you were before. You are the king of the tribe without feet, their faith rests in you. Only you can lead them to better days. Do you understand?" The Ghost Master said with great sincerity.
"I understand, Ghost Master... No, Grandfather!"
"Good." A trace of affection appeared in the Ghost Master's eyes. Then he looked up at the sky, and his gaze turned incredibly cold. "Humans won't let us be. They will surely send an army. Ah Hao, let humans remember the terror of our Ghost Clan!"
The Ghost Clan knew humans well. After all, their ancestors, who had been driven underground and shivered in fear by humans in the past, likely harbored thoughts of revenge against humans at all times. Until now, they finally had the chance.
Each member of the Ghost Clan was taught one thing from a young agehatred for humans. If any Ghost Clan member dared speak well of humans, they would be executed, no matter who they were.
Over time, the Ghost Clan's hatred for humans became indescribable. The first thing the Ghost Clan did upon reaching the surface was to find and kill humans, consuming them. This was the reason for the Ghost Clan's existence.
With new grudges added to old ones, the eighth order Ghost Clan member Ah Hao was furious. He directly led his subordinates and charged in a direction, guided by the intuition of an eighth order expert.
The Ghost Clan and the Red Alert forces met in the middle, and a battle erupted.
Ah Hao was too powerful. As an eighth order expert, ordinary troops and weapons were no match for him. However, this time, due to the System's restrictions, Su Chen hadn't deployed any eighth order experts, leaving Ah Hao to rampage through the army, unstoppable.
Of course, "unstoppable" didn't mean there was no way to deal with him; it meant they had chosen to hide.
Swish!
Suddenly, countless bullets and missiles rained down on Ah Hao. Trusting in his powerful physique, he didn't bother to dodge and directly withstood the attack, emerging unscathed.
This only further emboldened his arrogance. He completely abandoned defense and focused solely on the Red Alert army. In a short time, they had lost over a dozen tanks.
At this moment, a beam of light shot toward his back. He arrogantly made no attempt to evade it, but his expression changed the instant the beam hit him.
He was immobilized!
Not entirely, though; he still had some resistance left. However, when several more beams appeared and struck him, he truly couldn't move.
At this critical juncture, the Chrono Legionnaire made their appearance!
The current Chrono Legionnaire had undergone evolution, thanks to Su Chen spending millions of energy to buy them an evolution opportunity. In other words, Chrono Legionnaire was the first type of unit, aside from super units, to receive evolutionary improvements.
This evolution didn't just pertain to individual units; even their equipment evolved automatically, becoming even more powerful. It also came with an added effect: when using weapons, Chrono Legionnaires could move slowly.
The eighth order Ghost Clan member was immobilized by Chrono Legionnaire's weapon. Given enough time, they would nullify even the eighth order Ghost Clan members.
Seeing their king captured, the Ghost Clan members grew anxious. Several seventh order Ghost Clan members gathered together, preparing to charge and rescue their king.
Would the Red Alert forces grant them that opportunity?
"Ice Helicopters, attack!"
A batch of Ice Helicopters that had been in standby mode flew forward. They emitted numerous icy beams on the frontline of the Ghost Clan, turning any target hit into ice sculptures in an instant.
Even seventh order Ghost Clan members were frozen, their bodies encased in frost. Their bodies stiffened, rendering them combat ineffective.
"The freezing effect of the Ice Helicopters' beams is quite remarkable. It might serve as temporary refrigeration when there's no freezer around." Su Chen's thoughts were unique, to say the least.
Su Chen livestreamed this battle synchronously, broadcasting it to all the people around the Base city on the Yan Yun Star, including Hui Pu Prince.
"So, this is the strength of the Red Alert Base. Impressive!" Hui Pu Prince murmured. (To be continued...)
