The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 454: I'm Not Being a Lord Anymore!

The ground shook violently as dozens of large iron spheres rolled forward in a row, covered with numerous sharp spikes that would frighten anyone who saw them.

However, the Ghost Clan on the opposite side displayed a hint of disdain upon witnessing this scene.

They were the formidable Ghost Clan, known for their exceptional physical strength. How could they be intimidated by some iron spheres, even if they were covered in electricity?

The Ghost God Army didn't retreat; in fact, they accelerated their pace.

Without the hindrance of the Human Soldiers, their speed increased significantly, resembling a black torrent rushing towards the dozens of iron spheres.

Seeing the Ghost Clan charging head-on, Li Jing couldn't have been happier. He had been worried that the Ghost Clan might evade the spheres, but now he saw how resolute they were.

"Crush them!" Li Jing's lips curled into a sinister smile.

These iron spheres were his secret weapons. They appeared deceptively ordinary but were covered in metal that could withstand a full force strike from a Sixth Order Transcendent. He only had this many iron spheres, all waiting for the right opportunity to shine.

Now, the opportunity had arrived, and Li Jing couldn't wait to see the terror on the Ghost Clan's faces.

Su Jiu, standing at a distance, had been observing the situation here. With the Scout Plane's cameras, he could easily monitor what was happening.

"It seems like this is that City's trump card. I wonder how powerful it is and if it can match our Apocalypse Tank," Su Jiu muttered to himself.

The Deputy standing beside Su Jiu sighed and said, "Commander, how can those big iron spheres possibly compare to our Apocalypse Tank? Even the Skyfire Tank can't match us."

Su Jiu thought for a moment and realized it was true. After several upgrades, the Red Alert Weapons had significantly increased in power. Even the most ordinary Grizzly Tank had doubled its cannon's firepower.

This improvement wasn't a single aspect; it was all-encompassing.

The iron spheres appeared formidable, but in a direct confrontation with Red Alert Weapons, Su Jiu was confident that one cannon shot could take them down.

"Let's continue watching."

Gradually, the iron spheres collided head-on with the Ghost God Army!

In that moment, a violent noise erupted, and the ground shook intensely, like an earthquake.

"Ha-ha-ha, damn Ghost Clan, you're all going to die!" Li Jing laughed manically. He seemed to envision the Ghost Clan being crushed into pieces. However, after a few laughs, trembling voices sounded beside him.

"Lord... My Lord, something seems off over there."

"What?"

Li Jing looked closely, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. The iron spheres he had so eagerly anticipated were actually blocked by the Ghost Clan!

Several powerful Ghost Clan members stood at the forefront, gripping the spikes on the iron spheres tightly, allowing the electricity to flow over them without any reaction.

At this moment, Li Jing finally realized how terrifying the Ghost Clan's bodies were. He had tested the electrical current on these spheres, and even a Sixth Order expert would hesitate to endure it. Yet, these Ghost Clan members showed no signs of distress.

With a grin, the Ghost Clan raised their massive swords and thrust them into the iron spheres, their unparalleled power easily breaking through the spheres' defenses, revealing the interior to everyone.

Inside was a spherical cockpit, with a soldier sitting inside, his face filled with terror as he stared at the Ghost Clan outside.

The Ghost Clan grinned maliciously, and the sword struck again, killing the soldier on the spot.

Not long after, all the dozens of iron spheres were completely annihilated.

Li Jing fell into silence, and even his trump card had proven ineffective. The Ghost God Army was truly terrifying.

In fact, Li Jing could sense that there were Eighth Order experts within the Ghost God Army, and they occasionally taunted him. However, he dared not engage in battle. He knew that among Eighth Order Ghost Clan members, he ranked at the bottom. If he were to fight an Eighth Order Ghost Clan, he might not make it out alive.

So, he pretended not to notice their provocations and held his ground.

Seeing the might of the Ghost God Army only strengthened his resolve.

The Ghost God Army was overwhelming, and in contrast, the Human Army's morale had plummeted after the failure of the iron spheres, leaving them suppressed.

"My Lord, we should quickly request reinforcements. I believe they won't just stand by while we're under attack; it doesn't benefit them. They likely just want something more," his trusted aide urged.

Li Jing knew this all too well. The key was that he didn't know what the other side wanted. Would they even be satisfied if he gave up his life?

After pondering for a while, Li Jing finally said, "Go ahead and contact them. If their demands aren't too unreasonable, I can agree."

The aide left, and after a few minutes, he returned, his expression conflicted, as if unsure whether to speak.

"What did they request? Speak up; I won't blame you," Li Jing said.

With determination, the aide said, "My Lord, they said that as long as you're willing to relinquish your position as lord, they can offer their support."

"What did you say?" Li Jing's tone instantly rose.

The aide closed his eyes, thinking that the Lord would surely be furious. After all, asking a lord to step down from their position was the greatest insult!

But what he never expected was for the Lord to exclaim joyfully, "Did they really say that? That's fantastic! I won't be the lord anymore! Contact them right away; I've agreed to their demands. Tell them to deploy their forces quickly!"

The aide left in a daze, completely unable to understand why the Lord, upon hearing the request, was so delighted. Did being a lord no longer hold any appeal these days?

With a strange feeling in his heart, the aide contacted the reinforcements once more.

"Our Lord has agreed to exchange his lordship for your assistance. Is that acceptable?"

"It's acceptable. Please have your Lord watch closely; it's time for our Red Alert Base to make its appearance."

Su Jiu had already learned of the Lord's intentions from the Deputy's words, leaving him somewhat speechless. Why didn't you stand your ground for a while? If you had, I might have reaped some benefits too.

He wasn't worried that the other side would renege on the deal. If they did, they would realize they had attracted an even more formidable enemy than the Ghost Clan!

"Advance the entire army; target the Ghost Clan and annihilate them all!"

Now, the Ghost Clan had three uses for the Red Alert Base: the living could be used for research or energy extraction, while the deceased could be recycled as materials or consumed by Mutant Ghost Rabbits as food. There would be no waste.

In this large-scale battle, Su Jiu wouldn't show any mercy. As a result, capturing a living Ghost Clan member was almost impossible. (To be continued...)
