The Last Commander of the Red Alert-Chapter 764: Where Are the People?
After several days, General Wang Hu's fleet finally arrived at General Paris's sub-base, and the two of them met.
After exchanging pleasantries, they got straight to the point.
"General Paris, I've reviewed the information you sent me. The enemy's strongest force this time is only at the First Order of the Large Galaxy. Logically speaking, how could such a force capture the Milky Way Gateway?" Wang Hu was genuinely puzzled.
Paris's strength surpassed his own, and with so many fleets at his disposal, losing their home base was embarrassing, to say the least. Although he didn't explicitly state it, his words hinted at his feelings.
Paris's face turned red; he was well aware of how embarrassing the situation was, but it was the unfortunate truth. Who could have guessed that within just a few hours of his absence, their home base would be lost? What baffled him even more was the time manipulation that seemed to have kept his fleet trapped. He began to suspect if the enemy had mastered time technology, as there seemed to be too many coincidences.
"I suspect they have control over time technology," General Paris said with a grim expression.
"It's impossible!" General Wang Hu countered decisively. Time technology was something he had never heard of anyone mastering. While the Empire had been covertly researching it, there had been no substantial progress. Time technology was much more complex than spatial technology. You could observe space with the naked eye, but time?
"Then tell me, what's going on?" General Paris presented all the recent videos regarding the fleet situation to General Wang Hu.
After watching for a while, General Wang Hu had no words left. It looked like time technology, no matter how you looked at it, and there were too many coincidences to dismiss.
"If the enemy truly possesses mature time technology, this attack may…" General Wang Hu's face showed a hint of concern. Faced with the enigmatic and unpredictable nature of time technology, no one could make guarantees.
"I believe there's still a chance!" General Paris suddenly spoke up.
General Wang Hu's expression hardened as he looked at him. "Explain."
"If the enemy truly has mastery over advanced time technology, do you think they would allow me to stay here undisturbed?" General Paris said something that left General Wang Hu with no counterargument.
Indeed, if the enemy possessed such formidable time technology, they could easily overpower General Paris and wouldn't tolerate him lingering near the Milky Way Gateway. If he were in their shoes, he would do the same.
"So, you're suggesting that their time technology might not be flawless and might have limitations in continuous usage?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
"That's my thought, but just in case, I believe we should..." General Paris's voice trailed off as he shared his plan.
Several hours later, Su Chen received an alert indicating that the enemy had dispatched all their warships, preparing for a direct assault on the Milky Way Gateway. Numerous warships were rapidly heading towards the gateway. According to the map data, it appeared that Paris was ready for an all-out battle, bringing all available forces with him.
"Does this mean they're planning a decisive battle, Ju Ling?" Su Chen instructed.
"Commander, we're preparing to engage immediately!"
"We've already used up our offensive superweapons, but we still have defensive and auxiliary superweapons. You decide when to deploy them."
Subsequently, warships departed from the Milky Way Gateway, and the two sides met in the starry expanse. This time, there was no need for conversation. Upon encountering each other, they immediately engaged in combat.
Endless flames illuminated the surrounding stars, and the dense beams of light were enough to make one's scalp tingle. It's worth noting that the total number of warships on both sides reached tens of thousands, with many Mecha and Fighter Jets among them, making the fiery spectacle even more dazzling.
Wang Hu was no stranger to the formidable Mecha technology of the Red Alert Empire, but witnessing it firsthand made him realize just how advanced their technology was.
"Red Alert Empire," he mused, "how did this power emerge? I've never heard of them before, and their mention of 'Imperial StarEarth' doesn't exist in our Empire's records."
With Wang Hu's identity, he had access to the names of all inhabited planets within the Milky Way system, and none of them was called Earth. Of course, they couldn't find Earth; it was located on the fringe of the Milky Way system, almost invisible to the Rota Empire, and therefore had no official records.
What concerned them most was the technology of the Red Alert Empire. Technological advancements like this weren't achieved overnight; it required extensive time and effort. The Rota Empire had spent tens of thousands of years developing their current level of technology, but what about the Red Alert Empire?
They couldn't have known that the Red Alert Empire's technology had reached its current state in just a year or so. Regardless, the battle had already begun, and there was no turning back. If they didn't secure the Milky Way Gateway, they would face the Emperor's wrath, and both of them would be in dire straits.
"Wang Hu General, it's our turn now."
Their plan was straightforward. While their fleets engaged the enemy's, they would use a short-range teleportation device brought by Wang Hu to transport themselves directly to the enemy's main base. With their power, they could easily take control of the situation, effectively ending the battle.
A beam of light flashed, and their figures vanished from the warship, appearing over the Red Alert Base at the Milky Way Gateway.
As soon as they arrived, their Domains expanded, covering the entire base.
"Something's not right. Why is there no one here?"
The next moment, they were dumbfounded. The entire base was eerily quiet, almost unnervingly so.
As they prepared to land and investigate further, a bullet suddenly appeared next to General Paris's ear, penetrating his ear canal.
Boom!
The bullet exploded directly inside his ear, and it was Ju Ling's bullet.
"You bastard!" General Paris was left with a face full of soot, and his ear showed only a trace of blood. Ju Ling's shot had only grazed the skin.
It had to be said that Large Galaxy-level powerhouses were truly terrifying. Considering that Small Galaxy-level powerhouses could effortlessly traverse the cosmos, Large Galaxy-level powerhouses could even travel through interstellar space using their physical bodies. Some of them could match the speed of warships, and certain unique universal races were even more impressive than warships.
Under these circumstances, the bodies of Large Galaxy-level powerhouses were generally robust, especially those who specialized in body cultivation. They could even emerge unscathed from the explosions of ordinary planets.
Although Ju Ling had become a Superhuman and had undergone several evolutions, her strength had reached the First Order of the Large Galaxy, but injuring a Large Galaxy Seventh Order powerhouse with a single shot was no easy feat.
After Ju Ling fired, a group of people appeared before their eyes, as if they had stepped out of thin air. In reality, this was an illusion created by Leng Yuwei's illusion abilities. Su Chen had merely borrowed them for the moment.
