Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1588: Chapter 594: The Tree That Stands Out in the Forest Is Destined to Be Felled (Part 2)

Han Zhixin bowed and said, "Yes. Nowadays, the clan’s production and administrative management are also being taken care of by others, with the detailed assistance of the Red Blade Super Network, and the production work has indeed lightened considerably. The things I was originally good at are gradually losing their use. I believe that since we have transformed from a surface civilization focused on production and creation to the space nomadic described by Your Lordship, Earl, everything should naturally prioritize warfare. Although I am not talented, since I still have energy, of course, I should learn whatever I can."

Ren Zhong nodded, "It’s good that you think this way. Then come help me analyze the situation."

Han Zhixin heard Ren Zhong’s intention to test him and immediately focused, "Please advise."

Ren Zhong: "During the previous quantum catastrophe, although the fleets of the Three Major Star Regions were relatively intact, production, science, transportation, and other fields were severely damaged. However, our Red Blade Clan remained unharmed due to my timely decision, with almost no damage. Although I shared the technology afterward, rumors have spread in the Empire Core that our Red Blade Clan was actually secretly colluding with the Sublimators and was prepared, which is why we survived the disaster and achieved a great feat in defending the Star Gate, but it was just a cover for me as a so-called traitor to advance. What do you think of these rumors?"

Han Zhixin: "A tree stands out in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. It’s just some malicious people gossiping without basis. If Your Lordship Earl had ulterior motives, why would you guard the Far Border Star Gate?"

Ren Zhong smiled slightly, "Yes, that’s exactly it. We frontline warriors are fighting to the death against the invading enemies, yet those comfortable in the Empire Core, instead of understanding the hardships of the frontline warriors, speak these strange words. Anyone with a brain knows, who can collude with the Sublimators, who dares? What would be the benefit? They all understand this. Now, this rumor exists only because someone in the Empire Core is contributing to it. But it doesn’t matter, I will soon silence them all. Han Zhixin, now that Xiao Xingyue is gradually aging, the diplomatic work of the Red Blade Clan is becoming increasingly important. You can continue to study war theory, but military thinking should also be incorporated into other aspects. Learn from Xiao Xingyue and then draft a letter using my tone to send to the Empire Core, explaining the hardships of us frontline warriors, we can’t shed blood and tears."

...

Yes, the Red Blade Clan will shed blood.

In choosing the hardest target to crack, Ren Zhong had already mentally prepared for this.

...

"No matter how great the cost, we must not retreat half a step. Behind us is the channel entrance, we must hold it at all costs!"

Inside a flagship that appeared rather miserable, its surface filled with marks and scars, giving one the impression it was on the verge of collapse, a Commander with blood on his forehead was speaking through gritted teeth.

Since three days ago, the Sublimators had suddenly intensified their offensive, starting to add forces to this linear battlefield.

A Third Level Planet Level Mother Empress had emerged, leading a special attack force composed of a large number of Reproductive Subunits, and launched an assault, intending to seize the Fold Jump Subspace Channel entrance guarded by this Earl Level Commander’s garrison.

Although these Fold Jump Subspace Channels established by the Empire had exclusive identification codes, even if captured, there’s no need to worry about the Sublimators’ forces using them to drive straight in, but this Earl Commander knew more of the inside story.

It wouldn’t be long before a strong reinforcement army would emerge from this channel.

By then, this reinforcement army would immediately change the balance of forces in this region, potentially counterattacking and cutting off the Sublimators’ supply channel, leaving the deeper Sublimator forces isolated and helpless.

But if the channel entrance was lost, and the enemy set up turrets around it, the warships flying out would be continuously targeted by the Sublimators’ Space Sand Worm array using Antimatter Bombs, turning reinforcements into sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Therefore, it must be defended at all costs.

"Activate Seventh Channel Scan."

"Quantum Poison Stinger incoming again."

"Activate force field shield!"

"A drift giant formation is rapidly approaching, location distributed to the combat command system. Reserve forces special Space Armored Soldiers have been deployed following the Super Network’s sub-brain proposal and are about to engage."

"Enemy annihilated. Our Space Armored Soldiers suffered a loss rate of 89.51%."

"Optical sensors detected a Third Level Stinger formation rapidly approaching under the cover of new chaotic disruption. All remaining Space Armored Soldiers were wiped out. The micro nuclear fission radiation Deceptive Mine activated, severely damaging the enemy’s Third Level Stinger formation..."

During the previous engagements, the Mechanical Empire was reluctant to use spoken communication, deemed an inefficient command method, but suffered greatly; the Sublimators’ infiltration of the Empire Super Network was very insidious.

Moreover, despite continuous data assistance from the Empire Super Network, under Sublimator interference, information stream communication was no longer stable.

Therefore, on this frontline, Empire troops could not fully rely on the Super Network’s intelligence brain, often forced to revert to conventional measures like radio communication, optical communication, and gravitational wave communication.

Even though these communication methods could be converted to data in the database, they still required staff to collate and identify, finally reporting them to the Commander’s ears.

The Commander still had to use either spoken or brainwave reading methods to distribute commands.

Thus, even though this Commander had already exerted all his efforts, his garrison suffered significant losses and kept retreating under pressure from the Sublimator army, the front lines continuously shrinking.

It wouldn’t be long before he would run out of forces.

The opponent’s medium-range dense firepower could now cover the Fold Jump Channel entrance.

Just then, a flash of light emerged from the channel exit, and a menacing large Red Blade main battleship boldly charged out.

The Commander breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally came."
