Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1607: Chapter 601: Zheng Tian’s Afterglow

Zheng Tian is just one person, already at the end of her life, and once awakened, she could die at any moment.

But Zheng Tian holds a transcendental position in the history of the Red Blade Clan.

Having left behind the first practical military book of the clan, Zheng Tian has become a spiritual pillar and a mental totem for many military personnel.

In the eyes of the generals, her status is second only to Ren Zhong.

Bringing her along can boost the confidence of military personnel.

She herself is also regarded as a trump card.

Even though this trump card may not necessarily be effective, considering her remaining lifespan is indeed very short.

But now, she can only be unveiled as a trump card and fight desperately, treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

If nothing else works, at this point, probably only the old folks around Ren Zhong might have a chance to persuade him.

...

Ren Zhong has learned many kinds of weapons and has mastered them all proficiently.

Early on, he excelled at wielding blades because he enjoyed the feeling of a powerful swing that could split a mountain, and also because the first weapon he received was just an ordinary battle blade.

He is a nostalgic person.

Later on, he became stronger through dueling with Ma Xiaoling, who specialized in the Big Gun. Unknowingly, he absorbed a significant amount of Ma Xiaoling’s techniques and combat philosophy, becoming an expert in using the Big Gun.

Later still, he began mastering various ranged weapons, expanding his area of attack and playing a more significant role in large-scale battles.

Subsequently, Ren Zhong also learned about whip-like weapons. It is a low-consumption yet very effective and cost-efficient short-range melee method. Given Ren Zhong’s ability, he can simultaneously control multiple whip-like weapons, inflicting continuous damage on nearby enemies with minimal cost.

This philosophy was also applied by Ren Zhong to the space battlefield in the mid-to-late stages.

Now, at his request, his downsized flagship extensively uses chain weapons that exhibit excellent extensibility and toughness.

In this practical combat, he slightly altered his tactics.

He occasionally used locators to guide firepower but frequently caught opponents off guard by sneaking close to space creatures named Dragon Armor, Basilisk, and Evil Cloud, unleashing powerful assaults with his exceptional combat power to tear apart these formidable opponents, which the conventional Red Blade Army found difficult to handle or required large ammunition expenditures to deal with.

Thanks to the self-extension and correction capabilities of the Alien Ore, Ren Zhong adjusted the structure of the flagship during action and restored multiple combat forms. The new combat forms include quickly disassembling into a space grinder mode that conducts basic communications with low information volume but high precision, using light communication, radio communication, gravity wave communication, and other composite means; the Sea Urchin mode with chain weapons swung around a conglomerate warship, resembling a sea urchin; or gathering all chain weapons onto the warship’s body and using rotating high-speed flight to directly collide with the enemy as an assault form.

In battles against the Space Pirates in the past, Ren Zhong frequently used the tactic of form switching, allowing him to counter challenges with versatility and adapt to new situations promptly.

Although Ren Zhong’s achievements within the Mechanical Empire are widely known among its citizens, it seems the Sublimers encountered such a tenacious opponent for the first time, finding themselves helpless against him as he continually inflicted losses, and could only resort to using a military sea of numbers to force him to retreat.

Ren Zhong’s new tactics did indeed cause a considerable headache for the Sublimers.

This slightly reduced the pressure from firepower faced by other Red Blade Warriors.

Several hours later, after expending energy once again and having to fold jump to leave the arena and return to his own territory, Ren Zhong finally had the mind to reanalyze the situation.

He still held quite a bit of dissatisfaction with Ying Zhenshan and others’ earlier self-made decisions, but he knew he couldn’t criticize these subordinates.

He understood Ying Zhenshan and the others’ thinking.

He more acutely noticed that as the engagement process continued, Ying Zhenshan’s white hair was continuously increasing.

Every few hours, Ying Zhenshan would conduct a video report to him once. In each video report, Ren Zhong could see the young man’s head of white hair growing out in clumps, just like bamboo shoots after rain. The wrinkles on this loyal subordinate’s face also began to become increasingly prominent.

Clearly, to better command such a large-scale cosmic war, Ying Zhenshan had long employed life-depleting cognitive enhancement potions to continuously boost his brain’s activity.
