The Last Commander of the Red Alert

When Su Chen requested that they split into two groups, Emperor Kong had no choice but to agree. However, when they descended to the surface of Yan Yun Star, they accidentally stumbled upon a large battle between Humans and the Ghost Clan.

Both sides were Humans, so Emperor Kong naturally chose to help the people of Yan Yun Star. A large number of war weapons were unloaded from the ships specifically to deal with the Ghost Clan.

Although the fighting Yan Yun Star residents didn't know where these ships had come from, they didn't hesitate to accept their assistance since they were allies.

After a battle, they managed to repel the Ghost Clan's attack. The lord of a nearby city arrived, preparing to welcome these reinforcements.

"Who knows where these people come from?"

The city lord was a shrewd-looking man, his long green hair fluttering in the wind, making him quite striking.

"Lord of the City, there's no information about these five ships. They don't have any recorded numbers either. They might be privately manufactured warships. Judging by their size, they seem to be small escort ships."

Clearly, this man was implying that the newcomers were not from a prominent place.

On Yan Yun Star, although warships weren't abundant, anyone with influence would definitely not use only small escort ships. They would use better warships.

Having his underlings' explanation, the city lord was at ease.

As the first official communication between two planets, Emperor Kong, along with several other Human Emperors and high-ranking personnel, disembarked from the warships and stood before the city lord and his group.

Upon seeing these people, the city lord was momentarily taken aback. Why were there so many people with black hair? Wasn't black hair rare on Yan Yun Star?

"Thank you all for helping defend Wuyu City from the vile Ghost Clan. I am City Lord Xia Ji Chu. May I inquire about the origins of our esteemed guests?"

As expected of a city lord, pleasantries flowed effortlessly from his mouth.

"We are from the Red Alert Empire. In response to your call for help, we've come here to aid you against the Ghost Clan," Emperor Kong wasn't lying. Although Lisa and the others had been left behind, their arrival had indeed resulted from a request for aid.

However, what happened next surprised Emperor Kong. Xia Ji Chu burst into laughter, and his laughter grew louder and louder.

"Hahaha! Establishing an empire with five small escort ships? Do you even know what an empire is? Who gave you the qualification to call yourselves an empire?" Xia Ji Chu's tone had turned harsh.

Immediately, tension escalated, and a clash seemed imminent!

Emperor Kong waved his hand to signal his subordinates not to make any rash moves. He looked at Xia Ji Chu with some confusion, "Sir, you seem to have a prejudice against empires?"

"Wrong! It's not that I'm prejudiced against empires, but against you!" The politeness that Xia Ji Chu had shown earlier vanished, leaving only arrogance.

"If I'm not mistaken, you people have been hiding somewhere and built your own empire, right? Otherwise, if this news were to spread, the entire Yan Yun Star would know. Do you even know what an empire truly is? Yan Yun Star is just a minor planet under an empire. Your so-called empire is a joke!"

Emperor Kong frowned. He recalled Lisa's words from earlier. She had indeed mentioned that the term "empire" wasn't to be used lightly. Even if you controlled a planet, you still wouldn't have the qualification to call yourself an empire in the universe.

If Earth hadn't been cut off from the outside world, this alone would have incurred consequences for Earth.

Xia Ji Chu never considered that Emperor Kong and the others weren't Yan Yun Star natives but rather Humans from other planets.

From what they knew, various problems had arisen on other planets as well. How could anyone come here?

Also, seeing that Emperor Kong and the others all had black hair made Xia Ji Chu even more convinced that these people must have hidden themselves and established their own force.

He knew that some nobles on Yan Yun Star preferred people with black hair. These individuals were highly valued and excellent choices for slaves.

If it weren't for the fact that these people seemed tough to provoke, Xia Ji Chu wouldn't mind dabbling in the role of a slave trader.

Emperor Kong lacked Psychicpower, so he couldn't discern Xia Ji Chu's thoughts. However, with Yuri Clones among his group, he secretly conveyed the things he had sensed to Emperor Kong.

He didn't go into detail; he just conveyed the momentary hostility Xia Ji Chu had shown them.

Emperor Kong understood that anyone who could become a city lord on Yan Yun Star wouldn't be easy to deal with. If they hadn't landed here, they wouldn't have had any dealings with this person.

"This has nothing to do with me. If Lord Xia doesn't welcome us, we'll leave immediately," Emperor Kong replied calmly.

Of course, Xia Ji Chu couldn't let Emperor Kong and his group leave. Apart from other considerations, just their combat strength alone could enhance their own side's power. The next time the Ghost Clan attacked, Xia Ji Chu would have countless ways to turn them into cannon fodder!

"Why wouldn't I welcome you? Regardless of who you are, based on the fact that you just saved our soldiers, as the City Lord, I'm obliged to entertain you."

The massive warships parked a few kilometers away from Wuyu City, while Emperor Kong and the others entered the city to accept Xia Ji Chu's hospitality.

"After entering, be cautious," Emperor Kong quietly relayed to the others.

Everything they knew about Yan Yun Star came from Lisa and the others. However, some things had to be seen with their own eyes to be truly believed.contemporary romance

The city's layout was a blend of ancient and modern, with futuristic skyscrapers and classical low courtyard-style buildings. Even their means of transportation were a type of hovering vehicle.

In this regard, Earth still had a long way to go.

As Xia Ji Chu and Emperor Kong conversed incessantly on the road, both were hoping to gather information from the other. However, both sides remained tight-lipped, and not a shred of useful information was obtained. They soon realized that the other party was not an ordinary individual.

While passing through a certain area, Emperor Kong noticed something—the buildings here looked rundown, and so did the people's attire inside. It seemed like a slum.

"No matter where you are, it seems that the poor exist," Emperor Kong sighed inwardly.

He had assumed that with Yan Yun Star's technology being so advanced compared to Earth, there wouldn't be any poor people. Reality had shown him that he was being overly optimistic.

Disparities between the rich and poor existed everywhere.

At the banquet, everyone enjoyed themselves. Upon Xia Ji Chu's invitation, they stayed within Wuyu City. That same night, some people quietly left Wuyu City and headed towards the location of the five warships.

"Even I, the lord of Wuyu City, don't have the qualifications to build warships. Yet you outsiders have five. I can't forgive that." (To be continued)
