Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1585: Chapter 593: Quantum Poison Stinger, Nemesis of Shadows, Space Nomads_2

They instinctively rushed towards the object with the highest Energy Level reaction nearby, and then exploded with a thunderous roar.

This explosion was unprecedentedly intense, as if a collision between positrons and electrons.

The main explosion areas were concentrated around various Star Gates and more Fold Jump Subspace Channel entrances and exits within the Three Major Star Regions.

Furthermore, some key industrial planets, populated planets, industrial space stations, and numerous garrison bases where defending fleets were stationed together were also critical targets.

In just those brief seconds before, in the simulated Star Map of the Three Major Star Regions, the so-called "combat zones" shown in deep red rapidly spread out.

Unlike before, there used to be a distinct blood-red border between the Sublimators’ army and the Empire’s army.

Now, this vast blood-red area instantly scattered across various parts of the Three Major Star Regions.

Every Star Domain, every Star Cluster, every stellar group had deep or light shades of red.

These red areas intermix, turning the Three Major Star Regions into a blood-stained Long River, dark clouds, and jade disks.

Ren Zhong kept zooming in and out on the Star Map, constantly surveying each area stained red.

His expression was focused, and his thoughts were rapidly processing in his mind.

Unbeknownst to him, many top-tier personnel of the Red Blade Clan who were on the same discus ship had gradually gathered in this large conference hall.

The people below remained silent and collectively raised their eyes full of anticipation toward Ren Zhong, waiting for the great Earl to organize his thoughts and make decisions.

Now, they roughly understood what was happening outside.

Many had their own thoughts, but they understood well enough that this was not the time for them to suggest anything; they would have to wait for the Earl to inquire before they had the qualification to express their opinions.

In the Red Blade Clan, the strongest military strategist acknowledged has always been Zheng Tian, who left behind her military treatises.

However, in the first page of her military book, Zheng Tian clearly stated the objective fact that she was merely a slightly accomplished student who had been casually enlightened by Ren Zhong.

Therefore, even though Ren Zhong seldom bragged about his military prowess, the high-ranking personnel within the Red Blade Clan were fervently admiring him.

Yet, the people below did not know that at this moment, Ren Zhong was not carefully planning; he was merely directing his actions through instinct, driven by instinct to perform this meaningless task of enlarging and reducing.

He pretended to analyze the battle situation, but in truth, his heart was bleeding.

Ren Zhong distinctly recalls that during his youth, when reading history books, he often saw this kind of text.

"In a certain year, a certain month, and a certain place, a rebellion or a natural disaster occurred, resulting in tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of casualties."

Such simple lines encapsulated the tragic fate of hundreds of thousands.

At that time, Ren Zhong thought to himself, these historians were cold-blooded and ruthless, recording every move of the rulers so clearly, while the tragic demise of ordinary citizens was reduced to a line of indifferent summary.

Yet, the red cloud map before him now, in a certain sense, was no different.

What he saw on the battle report map was just patches of simple red spots, but behind these spots lay the casualties of tens or even billions of people.

The Sublimators’ single strike caused the Empire’s population in the Three Major Star Regions to suffer a loss of at least tens of trillions.

How many screamed in agony during the violent explosions, how many suffocated and froze in the vacuum, how many were engulfed by flames, and how many were crushed under collapsing buildings?

Unimaginable, beyond counting.

Even though he hadn’t done anything wrong, even having issued early warnings of war to Marquis Zhenjiang Mansion and the Empire, evidently others still hadn’t made adequate preparations. Ultimately, he could only keep the Red Blade Clan intact, almost achieving nothing else.

The damned and the innocent all perished.

This seemed to be a predestined fate. This is war.

"Sigh."

Ren Zhong sighed heavily, turned off the projection, and lifted his gaze to look down below.

Upon seeing his demeanor, the people below knew he had come up with a plan, each of them invigorated, appearing quite spirited.

Ren Zhong first raised his hand, signaling everyone to focus, then said, "Obviously, the Sublimators have brought forth higher-ranked self-destructive units than Lurking and Chaos types. Their sheer quantity, stealth ability, and mobility are beyond imagination. This proves that the evolution speed of our enemy over these centuries has again surpassed the expectations of the Imperial Royal Academy of Sciences. Fortunately, our Red Blade Science Academy was able to anticipate and uncover their disguise."
