Chapter 649: Gaming Addiction is Real!
In the face of these enemies no weaker than Planet-level, Ju Ling didn't even bother pulling out her Sniper Rifle. She flew directly towards them, exuding the presence of a Small Galaxy-level, instantly intimidating the group.
"Small Galaxy-level expert? We are all humans. Why are you helping Terrazoa?" One Ninth-level Peak expert below, realizing he was no match, decided to try and persuade Ju Ling with words.
Due to the rapid assault by the Red Alert Empire, many of the humans on Lakestar weren't well-informed about their situation. They only knew one thing: this self-proclaimed Red Alert Empire was highly aggressive and powerful, even more so than Terrazoa.
Some among them misunderstood, thinking that the Red Alert Empire was aiding Terrazoa. However, they hadn't noticed that the Red Alert Empire was also targeting Terrazoa.
Just like Yan Yun Star, all satellites and equipment outside Lakestar Planet had vanished without explanation. This resulted in severe communication issues, and their knowledge of the Red Alert Empire was limited.
They couldn't fathom which region of the galaxy the Red Alert Empire hailed from, not realizing that this Red Alert Empire was just a temporary force with control over three planets. They would be utterly astonished if they knew.
Ju Ling remained silent, still hovering in mid-air, looking down at them. Commander's orders to her were clear: delay these people but do not kill them, so she refrained from making a move. With her strength, it wouldn't take much time to wipe them out.
Seeing Ju Ling's silence, the man became more spirited. "Madam, although I know you come from a different Empire, as humans, shouldn't we help each other? According to the information we received, various problems have emerged throughout the entire Rota Empire. I believe your Red Alert Empire is facing similar issues. In such circumstances, we should unite against external threats..."
This man was indeed somewhat persuasive, but he had picked the wrong person.
The fate of these people was not in Ju Ling's hands; it was in Su Chen's!After less than ten minutes, Ju Ling received an order and left the area, leaving the group below baffled. Had this powerful individual merely come to take a look and spared them?
"Madam, what should we do? Should we proceed to attack the Red Alert Base?" one of the subordinates asked.
The Ninth-level Peak expert clenched his teeth. "Continue the advance. This time, there's a death order from above. Even if it means death, we must die on the battlefield!"
As a Ninth-level Peak expert, he couldn't control his own destiny because there were people stronger than him on this planet, those who had reached the Small Galaxy level, far surpassing his own power.
Following his command, the army continued its advance, which was exactly what Su Chen had hoped for.
After ten minutes of development, Su Chen had constructed over ten thousand troops at his base, equipped with a variety of weapons. He was fully prepared for war.
"I assume the enemy won't launch an all-out attack right away. They will likely probe first. So this time, let the Beastmen, along with some tanks, Anti-Aircraft Infantry, and Multi-functional Infantry Vehicles take action. I've also heard from Ju Ling that the technology on this planet is slightly better than on Yan Yun Star, but the overall difference is not significant. I can play the game however I want."
For the first time, Su Chen felt addicted to playing this game!
The terrain here wasn't flat; it was hilly terrain. To approach the Red Alert Base, the enemy had to go through a low, narrow canyon. Su Chen had his subordinates lying in ambush there, ready to deliver a fierce blow to the enemy.
Due to the enemy having aerial forces, Su Chen also dispatched Armed Helicopters and Invader aircraft to control the skies and prevent the Beastmen's presence from being detected.
The airborne forces moved swiftly and were soon above the enemy.
"Sir, the enemy has deployed their aerial forces. Should we intercept?" a pilot called out.
"Destroy them all!" the Ninth-level Peak expert's gaze turned cold. He might be wary of Small Galaxy-level experts, but that didn't mean he would allow himself to be pushed around.
The aerial forces on both sides engaged in battle in the sky. Upon initial contact, both suffered casualties, with aircraft wreckage occasionally plummeting from the sky, creating thunderous crashes.
This situation left the Ninth-level Peak expert somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the enemy's aerial forces to be as good as, if not slightly better than theirs. He realized that their Fighter Jets were suffering more losses compared to the enemy, who were suffering fewer casualties. The balance of power was evident.
At this point, their army began to traverse the narrow canyon. About halfway through, the sound of cannon fire suddenly rang out.
"Uh-oh, it's an ambush!" the Ninth-level Peak expert exclaimed. He prepared to charge out and eliminate these enemies, but as he was about to make a move, a figure appeared before him.
It was a Rocket Paratrooper!
This unit had always served as an escort for the Kirov Airship, but this time, it had become the main force!
Only those with strength at the eighth order could fly, but Rocket Paratroopers had no such limitation. They could fly as they pleased.
However, being able to intercept a Ninth-level Peak expert indicated that their strength had reached the ninth order!
The units directly built from the base were initially weak, but they couldn't withstand Su Chen's enhancements. He used Energy Points to boost their strength.
Of course, there were limits to this, or the game would lose its entertainment value. The constraints weren't severe; Su Chen could only enhance the units up to the level of the enemies they faced, meaning this Rocket Paratrooper was also at the Ninth-level Peak.
Biubiubiu...
The Rocket Paratrooper opened fire directly on the Ninth-level Peak expert. With his increased power, his equipment received a significant boost. Even a Ninth-level Peak expert hit by one of his shots would be injured or killed!
The Ninth-level Peak expert was blocked, and the Beastmen started causing havoc. Tanks fired one by one, wreaking havoc below.
"Counterattack, counterattack!"
Someone below was roaring, and they did initiate a counterattack. However, in this environment, it was challenging to target the canyon from below. Several eighth-order experts tried to fly up and eliminate the enemies, but Su Chen had already chosen their opponents.
Red Alert soldiers, Beastmen, Anti-Aircraft Infantry, Mobilized Infantry, and Yuri Recruits - their strength was matched to the enemy. The great battle had begun.
The Ninth-level Peak expert, witnessing this scene, felt as though he had stumbled into an enemy trap. Why were the enemy's strengths identical to his side's? In the midst of battle, any lapse in concentration could lead to trouble, and the Rocket Paratrooper took advantage of the opportunity, shooting his left arm, rendering it useless.
