Chapter 659: Why Not Escape?
These individuals grossly underestimated the power of the Weather Control Device. The Protective Shield only resisted for a brief moment before collapsing entirely, allowing lightning to rampage recklessly through their encampment. Countless buildings and people were reduced to ashes, transforming this place into a new hell.
Li Shaolong observed this scene through a map, his expression icy. When facing the enemy, he never showed mercy.
"Commander, conservatively estimating, the Weather Control Device could potentially eliminate one-third of the enemy''s fighting strength. Should we seize this opportunity to occupy this planet?" Deputy suggested.
Li Shaolong nodded slightly, sharing the same thought. After being struck by the Superweapon, they might be temporarily unable to regroup, and this was their chance.
With the command given, the large army from Red Alert Base set out.
Due to the rugged terrain all over the planet, there were hardly any decent roads. The most viable option was to travel through the air, with the focus on the Air Force.
Super Fortresses, Kirov Airships, and other heavy weapons all joined the sortie. There were also numerous Fighter Jets, Armed Helicopters, and transport planes carrying a large variety of troops. Bringing up the rear was a seemingly ordinary spacecraft, but any Red Alert soldier familiar with its name knew of its might.
It was one of Red Alert Base''s newest Superweapons, the Paradox Engine!
It possessed tremendous mobility and firepower, but its most formidable feature was the time machine it carried. It could freeze time in a designated area, making it an invincible weapon!
The ability to influence time was no trivial matter.
Even the Qiluo Civilization, whose spatial technology had reached its zenith, had no means to manipulate time. They had once believed that time was beyond human control.
Yuan Yizhong and his group, who were originally not part of the Red Alert system, were shocked when they first learned that Red Alert Base possessed time weapons. They couldn''t fathom how Red Alert Base could be this formidable!
Leading the shock was Death Reaper Les. As a Protoss, his knowledge exceeded that of others, yet he had never heard of any race with time technology. It was simply inconceivable.
The Heart Demon Clan shared this astonishment. After becoming Su Chen''s subordinates, they proactively blocked the sharing of any knowledge with other Heart Demon Clans. This move left the other Heart Demon Clans perplexed.
It was worth noting that the Heart Demon Clans typically didn''t mind such matters. To them, they could function as individuals or as a collective whole.
If the Heart Demon Clans could communicate voluntarily, many of them would probably ask Black Veil what had happened.
Yes! Why not escape?
Suddenly, a bright idea crossed the Commander''s mind. These people alone were definitely no match for the Red Alert Empire. So, why not escape and at least have a sliver of hope?
But soon he realized a problem. Not everyone in the unit followed his orders. Among them were undoubtedly Xingluo Marquis''s trusted confidants, with a simple purpose: to keep an eye on him.
A military Commander was not a position one could obtain easily. They commanded an entire army, and if they made the wrong judgment, it could lead to heavy losses for their lord.
Therefore, in every military unit, there were trusted confidants who would report everything the Commander did to their lord.
If the Commander made any suspicious move, death would be waiting for him!
While he was deep in thought, both sides'' weapons had already initiated the first round of combat.
"No, I absolutely cannot die here!" The Commander looked around, and suddenly he saw a figure discreetly slipping away. It was one of his staff officers.
He silently followed the staff officer and saw them take out a communicator. This wasn''t an ordinary communicator; it was a special one capable of interstellar communication. Such a device wasn''t something just anyone could possess, and even he had only one!
The Commander hadn''t expected that one of his staff officers would have such a thing.
"Sir, their large army is coming. Now is the time for reinforcements!"
"Sir?"
The Commander''s expression subtly changed. Not many could be addressed as "sir" by a staff officer. Could it be that Marquis had already sent someone here? Why was he unaware?
Meanwhile, in the outer space of the planet, an entire fleet suddenly appeared, consisting of thousands of ships. They had used spatial jumps to arrive directly here, and their target was none other than the Red Alert Base! (To be continued)
