The Last Commander of the Red Alert-Chapter 759: Phoenix Dance
Faced with Su Chen's command, Black Veil had no choice but to comply.
The first lazy fish had finally found something to do. Su Chen's gaze shifted to the other two slackers, and suddenly, Mutant Ghost Rabbit and Spectral Moth, who had been lying on the ground, trembled inexplicably.
"Commander, we just received information that Shadow Hall seems to have had contact with Rota Star, but we don't know the specifics of who they contacted," said Spy Number One.
Shadow Hall having contact with Rota Star? What could this mean? Was it someone from within Rota Star, or perhaps with the Rota Empire's Emperor himself? Regardless of who it was, the ease with which they entered Rota Star suggested a significant connection between Shadow Hall's high-ranking members and the Rota Empire.
"I never expected that even back when Qiluo Civilization was a thing, human high-ranking individuals were still up to no good. Now, it seems the same goes for the Rota Empire. This Empire deserves to be conquered by me," Su Chen said with a chuckle.
Rota Star was still a considerable distance away. Currently, the most important tasks were to repel the advancing forces of the two major Empires. Given the technological capabilities of these two Empires, it would likely take them one to two months to reach Su Chen.
During this time, Su Chen intended to assess the situation of his other two armies. As an Emperor, it was only natural to inspect his own forces.
The first army consisted solely of Earth humans, led by the original Human Emperors. Only their achievements could earn the trust of Earth's human population.
The second army was composed of conquered planet humans and various universe races, overseen by gaming prodigies who had once excelled in the Red Alert World.
Since they were armies, most of their forces were engaged in frontline combat.
On a planet at this moment, a woman dressed in military attire was directing a battle. This time, her forces were launching an attack on the planet, which had been occupied by a completely blacked-out universe race, with very few survivors left. Consequently, their attack was fierce.
"Kirov Airships, move to this position. Rocket paratroopers and Tengu mechs, provide protection and await orders."
"Phantom Tanks, gather here and camouflage yourselves. If you encounter any enemies, annihilate them all."
"Beastmen, assemble to form the first line of defense. Do not let the enemy take a single step!"
This person was none other than Phoenix Dance, the female gaming prodigy Su Chen had encountered on the streets. Since joining the Red Alert Empire, she had risen to the rank of Major, a remarkable achievement considering that most newcomers could only hope to become Second Lieutenants at best.
It was evident how many accomplishments she had amassed during this lengthy war to attain such a high rank. While they were both gaming prodigies, there were still differences among individuals. Some struggled to adapt to real-world situations despite excelling in games, leading to their defeat. However, others, like Phoenix Dance, excelled even more in reality.
Facing the enemy, she was ruthless and unforgiving. Even if they were fellow humans, anyone who obstructed the Empire's advance became her enemy.
Finally winning this battle, Phoenix Dance breathed a sigh of relief. "We've captured another planet. If someone had told me a few months ago that I could achieve this, I wouldn't have believed them. I've come so far."
Back then, she had merely found the game entertaining, and playing it casually had turned her into a gaming legend in the eyes of others. Later, she was recruited by the Empire and joined its army as a Second Lieutenant. At that rank, she could only lead small-scale battles. Moreover, she realized that the real-world weapon types bore little resemblance to those in the game.
In the world of gaming, some versions are either too old or have entirely different effects. This made her, accustomed to games, somewhat uncomfortable. However, gradually, she discovered that reality was where the true prowess lay, and games could just fade into insignificance.
After more than a hundred battles of varying sizes, she had reached her current position, becoming a Major in charge of her own army.
It's worth noting that in the Red Alert Empire, only officers at the rank of Major or higher were qualified to lead an assault on a planet. Battles involving dozens or even hundreds of planets were the responsibility of Generals.
Her greatest admiration was reserved for General Ju Ling, whose skill with a Sniper Rifle was unparalleled. No matter who the enemy was, even a Warship, they would fall to a single shot from her!
After becoming an officer, Phoenix Dance realized that they needed not only command skills but also personal strength. Only with a strong personal foundation could they tackle any problem.
Imagine if she had the power of a Small Galaxy, she could single-handedly wipe out the enemies on this planet without the need for weapons, at most making it a bit more troublesome.
Just as she was preparing to leave the Command Room for a walk, a voice suddenly rang out, "Hey, not bad for your record."
Phoenix Dance's expression froze, and she turned to see a young man smiling at her.
By now, anyone who didn't know what their Empire's Emperor looked like would truly be a fool.
"I greet Your Majesty," Phoenix Dance hastily saluted, never expecting that the Emperor would personally come to visit her.
She knew the Base had teleportation capabilities, but she only had permission to teleport to a Base on a single planet, making it impossible for her to teleport to a nearby planet's Base.
"Don't be so formal. Have you forgotten we met before?" Su Chen casually remarked.
Phoenix Dance thought for a moment. The last time they met was when she swore allegiance to the Emperor. Could he be referring to that?
Su Chen immediately saw her misunderstanding and offered a reminder, "On Earth, ranked ten thousandth among gaming prodigies, PK."
If Phoenix Dance still couldn't grasp it, she would truly be a fool. That so-called ten-thousandth ranked prodigy was clearly not what he seemed. So, was he referring to that person?
"Your Majesty, you..."
Su Chen waved his hand, and Phoenix Dance found herself unable to control her own body, suspended in mid-air, looking down on everything below.
"I've observed your performance. Among these gaming prodigies, you're undoubtedly the most outstanding. Most of the others are still hovering around the ranks of Second Lieutenant and Captain, while you, in the fastest time, became a Major. You're very impressive."
This was the Emperor of the Red Alert Empire, a figure who had ushered in a new era. Getting his praise made Phoenix Dance feel her heart racing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. I still have a long way to go."
Phoenix Dance quickly regained her composure and modestly replied.
"Regarding these Universe races, what are your thoughts?" Su Chen asked, pointing down below.
There happened to be a small-scale battle unfolding below, with one side being the pitch-black Universe race that had taken control of this planet, and the other side consisting of Universe races enslaved by the Red Alert army.
Both sides were Universe races, and their combat was even more brutal and cruel than human warfare.
As she gazed down below, Phoenix Dance immersed herself in her role, her expression cold, "For those useful to the Empire, extract their value. For those useless, destroy them outright!"
