During the standoff between the Red Alert Army and the Winged Clan, Transcendents from all over the world finally arrived.
"General, what should we do next?"
A Seventh-order Transcendent, serving as a representative, arrived to discuss the attack on the Winged Clan. In the presence of Natasha's strength and beauty, this man in his early thirties appeared somewhat reserved.
With Earth's continuous development, the number of Seventh-order Transcendents was no longer as scarce as before. The count had exceeded a thousand, marching towards two thousand.
In the past, a Seventh-order Transcendent would qualify as the Controller of a Base City. Nowadays, even becoming a deputy controller required competition.
Times had certainly changed!
Due to this, Earth had fostered a positive atmosphere, with the number of Seventh-order Transcendents steadily increasing. Several Eighth Order Transcendents had even emerged, a thriving scene indeed.
Within the Red Alert Base, Natasha and her team were Super Soldiers, second only to Su Chen. Other soldiers saluted them as officers. Still, within the Red Alert Empire, each of them held the rank of general, with no distinction in seniority.
"How many of you have arrived?" Natasha nodded slightly.
"The first batch consists of around a hundred thousand people, and the rest are still coming. In the end, we should exceed five hundred thousand people. Our screening criteria are Fourth-order Transcendents," the Seventh-order Transcendent replied.Half a million Fourth Tier or higher Transcendents might have been formidable in the past, but for humanity today, it was just a fraction of their power.
The weakest among the Winged Clan were of the Fifth Tier, so humans needed to reach at least the Fourth Tier with the assistance of technological weapons to have a chance against the weakest among the Winged Clan. If it were Third Order, there would be little hope.
Winged Clan had innate flight abilities, giving them control of the skies, while humans could only freely fly when they reached the eighth order. Just in this aspect, humans were at a disadvantage.
Nevertheless, powerful technological power compensated for this shortfall. Not to mention the Air Force, various anti-aircraft weapons alone were sufficient to give the Winged Clan a tough time.
"Have them prepare. The enemy is the Winged Clan, a race born with the ability to fly. They should get ready with various anti-aircraft weapons. If they don't have any, they can directly purchase from the Red Flag store. You should be aware of this," Natasha instructed.
"General, should we formulate some tactics?"
"In the face of absolute power, all tactics are futile. Your only job is to obey orders!" A hint of authority flashed across Natasha's demeanor.
"Yes, we will obey the general's orders!" The Seventh-order Transcendent immediately saluted.
After all, these Transcendents had come from various places, and even though their strength wasn't weak, they were far behind in terms of discipline compared to the Red Alert forces.
One side was quiet, the other side was noisy, and the contrast was stark.
The most discussed topic was how to capture a Winged Clan female and take her home as a wife!
This started as a joke on the forums, with someone playfully claiming the Winged Clan as their wives due to their preference for angelic characters. As a result, a group of "husbands" emerged, all clamoring with phrases like, "Release my wife, let me in!" which quickly derailed the conversation.
Later, someone even suggested, "Why not go to the battlefield and capture a Winged Clan? That way, they can become our real wives, right?"
"But wouldn't that be illegal?" someone voiced concern.
"When has Imperial Law ever protected Invaders? Capturing the enemy is a merit, and the law clearly dictates the treatment of captives. Unless we engage in cruelty, nothing will stop us from doing whatever we want."
Upon reading this statement, countless men and women's eyes lit up with excitement.
By the way, it's not just men who are interested in the Winged Clan. Some women have set their sights on Winged Clan males. After all, the male members of the Winged Clan are incredibly handsome, making them the dream lovers of countless women.
Due to this situation, there was a surprising number of female Transcendents who volunteered for military service, approximately around a hundred thousand, which left many people stunned.
This matter inevitably reached Su Chen's ears, but he only gave a slight pause before dismissing it.
However, he couldn't help but think of something amusing. What would their expressions be if they discovered, after capturing the Winged Clan, that the Winged Clan had no gender?
At this moment, people were getting ready, eager to capture the Winged Clan.
"Commander, it's time," the Deputy reminded.
Natasha nodded slightly, waving her right hand. "Attack commences!"
This time, it was a frontal battle against extraterrestrial beings. The Empire was broadcasting it live, and almost everyone was watching. After all, this was a genuine confrontation with extraterrestrial beings, a story they could boast about to their descendants.
Contrary to Su Chen's expectations, the Winged Clan did not arrive as quickly as he thought via the Light Pillar Teleportation. After such a long time, their numbers were still only around a hundred thousand, putting them at a numerical disadvantage.
If it weren't for the Winged Clan's ability to fly, they might have been overwhelmed by the human army at first glance.
Watching the battle on the screen, Ju Ling was somewhat puzzled. "Commander, with our power and the Spectral Moth, we should be able to kill the strongest Winged Clan members and destroy that portal. Why don't you let us go over?"
In Ju Ling's opinion, cutting off the pillar of light was the safest method.
"Ju Ling, why would we want to destroy the portal? In my eyes, that portal is a cash cow," Su Chen said with a smile, pointing to the pillar of light. "In the future, I will undoubtedly dominate the universe. Earth will eventually explore the vastness of space. This is just the first step, letting them broaden their horizons without me having to pay any price. Where else can you find such a good deal?"
Ju Ling pondered this, and Tanya looked at Su Chen with admiration in her eyes. "Commander, I understand now. You want to use the Winged Clan as a trial for Earth's people."
"That's just one aspect of it. Without some powerful planets, even if we exclude the power of the Red Alert Base, how much power does Earth itself possess?"
Tanya thought for a moment. Once the Red Alert Base was eliminated, the most powerful beings on Earth would be a few Human Emperors, and their strength hadn't reached the level of a Small Galaxy. There was a significant gap.
"Commander has already laid the foundation for the rear," Yun Ru said with a playful smile.
"Once we deal with the last trouble, the Red Alert Empire can expand its territory," Su Chen said, not forgetting the threat of the Dream Shadow Clan.
The other Super Soldiers' eyes flashed. What was this threat that even the Commander was so concerned about?
The Commander didn't reveal it, and they didn't inquire further. However, their desire for strength deepened in their eyes.
The battle continued for several hours. Red Alert Base intentionally held back, not breaking through the Winged Clan's defenses. The Winged Clan leader appeared once, only to be forced back by the hidden Spectral Moth.
It was only at this point that the Winged Clan realized that their opponents had someone of equal strength, and this posed a serious problem. (To be continued...)
