The Last Commander of the Red Alert

So, here's the question: what if a Transcendent uses the exoskeleton battle armor?

As long as their power doesn't exceed the fifth level, they can still enhance their abilities. However, their enhancement wouldn't be as significant as for regular individuals, since Transcendents themselves are already much more powerful than ordinary people.

A group of soldiers in exoskeleton battle armor kept a distance from the Ghost Clan, continuously firing their laser guns.

If they were facing Ghost Clan members below the Third Order, being hit by the laser guns would either kill them or severely injure them.

However, Ghost Clan members of the Third Order or higher had bodies with incredibly high durability. The laser guns couldn't penetrate their bodies; they only left black scorch marks. Ghost Clan members of the Fifth Order or higher were almost impervious to the laser guns' power.

As Emperor Kong and the others watched the battle below, they remained silent. This was a battle of the people from Yan Yun Star; not a single person from Earth had been deployed.

"Seeing them makes me remember our situation back then," Emperor Kong sighed.

When the Earth's Apocalypse had arrived, a large number of Mutant Beasts had emerged. Humans had been helpless against them, lacking any means of resistance except for thermal weapons.

With the appearance of Transcendents, Humans had gradually gained the power to fight back. During that time, every memory of it left Emperor Kong feeling nostalgic.

The appearance of these individuals now reminded him so much of their past selves.

Back then, their enemies had been the Mutant Beasts, while the people of Yan Yun Star only had one enemy: the Ghost Clan.

Comparatively, Earth's enemies were somewhat easier to deal with. If it had been the Ghost Clan appearing on Earth, Earth would have been in dire straits long ago.

The Ghost Clan's greatest advantage lay in their physical prowess. A Ghost Clan member of the Third Order could withstand the firepower of regular laser guns. Let alone facing stronger Ghost Clan members.

How could unarmed ordinary people handle the Ghost Clan?

"It's not the same. They started from a much higher point than we did," Eastern Emperor shook his head.

During the Apocalypse on Earth, humans had been groping in the darkness. No one knew how Transcendents could enhance their power, and no one had told them how to become Transcendents. Everything had been achieved through their own struggles.

Yan Yun Star was different. They knew about the existence of Transcendents from the beginning, and they had systematic methods to enhance their power. Their starting point was much higher than Earth's.

The four Emperors exchanged words one after another. Standing there, they had the clearest view. This battle would likely end in a draw, with Humans slightly disadvantaged.

But that slight disadvantage wasn't enough for the Ghost Clan to secure a major victory.

Under the condition that there was no external assistance.

Suddenly, Emperor Kong's brow furrowed. He saw small black dots appearing in the distance sky, as if something was flying over.contemporary romance

As they got closer, they realized that those black dots were, in fact, individual heads!

Or rather, not heads, but the heads of Ghost Clan members – Ghost Heads!

"Not good, Flying Head Ghosts! Retreat!"

The Human soldiers, upon seeing these Flying Head Ghosts, panicked and ran back without considering the order of retreat.

Although Emperor Kong had seen the data on Flying Head Ghosts, this was the first time they were witnessing them in person. They were so scared by the mere sight of these Flying Head Ghosts that they ran away.

Their retreat was like an avalanche. If this continued, the Ghost Clan might seize Rainless City directly with this wave of attack.

"Is it time for us to intervene?" Emperor Yu was eager to join the fight.

"Not yet. However, we can give our forces a training opportunity."

The retreating soldiers noticed shadows overhead. Looking up, they saw over a hundred bird-like flying devices in the sky.

Mechas! In a place like Yan Yun Star, Mechas were just as rare as warships. Most people had never seen a Mecha in person.

They could only see some pseudo-Mechas covered in Mecha-like exteriors, which were quite weak in actual combat and mainly served as displays.

Today, they saw Mechas capable of taking to the battlefield for the first time, and in such numbers. It was a sudden, unexpected source of joy.

If they weren't on a battlefield, they would have likely excitedly run over to examine the Mechas' appearance.

"Wait, are these Mechas from Rainless City?"

One soldier's words were inconspicuous amidst the clamor of the battlefield, but people around heard it clearly.

They suddenly realized – these were their own forces!

These Mechas were all obtained by earning points on the battlefield and exchanging them for various Mechas at the Red Alert Base.

Since Ghost King Mechs and Centurion Siege Mechs couldn't fly and thus couldn't participate in this battle, the only Mechas joining the fight were the Celestial Armor and Tengu Mechas.

After Yun Ru's modifications, the Tengu Mechas' appearance hadn't changed much. However, their Weapons Systems and power had been greatly enhanced. The current Tengu Mechas could fly hundreds of meters in the air in an upright posture!

This was vastly different from when they could only fly a few meters above the ground.

What was the point of a Mecha that couldn't fly?

Ghost King Mechs, Centurion Siege Mechs: "???"

Leading the charge were four Celestial Armor Mechas. They brought out massive firearms and began firing at the Flying Head Ghosts ahead. Tengu Mechas followed closely, showering the Flying Head Ghosts with a barrage of bullets.

It had to be said that the appearance of the Flying Head Ghosts was quite fearsome. A Ghost Clan head flying in the air was bound to terrify people if seen at night.

Hehehehe…

The Flying Head Ghosts emitted a deep, eerie laughter. Then, they opened their mouths, and streams of black mist erupted, immediately enveloping the Mechas' bullets.

The bullets encountered the black mist and seemed to lose power, falling down with clattering sounds.

"What the heck is that thing?" a Human warrior showed a disgusted expression.

"Who knows, surely it's nothing good. Let's go around it!"

The Human warriors were aware that the black mist was problematic. They planned to circumvent the Flying Head Ghosts and attack from the sides.

However, they didn't expect that the Flying Head Ghosts would fly out of the black mist at a high speed and close in on them.

"Not good!"

The Human warriors turned pale. The Flying Head Ghosts suddenly accelerated, attaching themselves to the Mechas and causing alarms to sound inside.

"Activate the Psychic Shield, energy remaining at 89%… 85%… 78%…"

The Human warriors couldn't believe it. This was a Psychic Shield produced by the Red Alert Base. According to their tests, it could withstand a full-powered strike from a Seventh Order peak expert. However, as the Flying Head Ghosts approached, the shield's energy was visibly decreasing at an alarming rate. What on earth was this?

They finally understood the terror of the Flying Head Ghosts. These Ghost Clan members possessed a strong corrosive ability!

Seeing this scene below, the soldiers all thought that these Mechas were done for. Everyone was well aware of how terrifying the corrosive power of the Flying Head Ghosts was. (To be continued)
