The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 650: Ghost Pattern Soldier

Su Chen watched the situation in the arena and felt quite bored. He hadn't expected the enemy to be so weak. It was just a probing attack, and they were on the verge of collapse.

"System, isn't this too unchallenging?" Su Chen remarked.

"If Master seeks a challenge, you can choose another approach, not centered around the Base, but a mission executed by a small team," the system suggested.

Su Chen's eyes lit up at this idea. "Let's start now."

"Master must complete this battle mode before moving to the next," the system reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately picked up the mouse and began to eliminate the enemy. With his efforts, the battle ended in less than twenty minutes, with only a 1% loss.

For Su Chen, this was no great feat. His overall strength was on par with the enemy, but he had the advantage of terrain and Red Alert Base Weapons. If he couldn't win in this situation, he might as well not bother.

"Wait, why hasn't it ended yet?" Su Chen thought the battle was over when he finished.

"In the battle mode, you must completely annihilate the enemy of a phased target to consider it a real conclusion," the system explained.

"Then let's continue. It's just a city. I'll conquer it for you in half an hour."

In the end, Su Chen realized he had underestimated the enemy. He took over the city, but it took him over an hour to do so.

The main issue was that he had to launch an attack under equal strength conditions, which put limitations on him. But for a gamer like him, this mode was the most enjoyable – direct domination was not entertaining.

Apart from the battles Su Chen participated in, all the other fights ended in a crushing victory; there were no exceptions.

Since they had the advantage, why would they give up that edge? They needed to control three planets in the shortest time possible, with no time to waste.

After the first battle mode ended, Su Chen found several areas he could improve upon. He became more conscious of it, which greatly enhanced his leadership skills. As a Commander, if he couldn't lead effectively, it would be quite embarrassing.

"System, let's start the second round as you suggested, with the small team mode."

"Searching now. Search complete. The game begins."

The screen flashed, and Su Chen saw an aircraft above, with over twenty figures jumping down – a combination of paratroopers and the Hunting Dog team!

One Red Alert soldier and one Hunting Dog landed on the ground, immediately gathering together, awaiting Su Chen's orders.

After the game was set up, all Red Alert units instinctively knew that they would be personally commanded by the Commander.

Just as Su Chen wondered what they were going to do, a line of text appeared in the top left corner of the screen: "Task 1, Gather information on Terrazoa in the forest."

The task was straightforward, to the point that even Su Chen found it a bit redundant.

"Terrazoa, the species that looks like dinosaurs, right? I never expected to find dinosaurs on other planets. This is going to be an eye-opener."

Su Chen chuckled and began moving the mouse to control the soldiers and the Hunting Dog as they searched the forest. Even with the galactic SpySatellites, on these life-filled planets with various events occurring, there were still areas in the dark where the satellite couldn't provide full coverage. Some parts remained hidden, and his troops had to explore them manually.

Su Chen was extremely cautious, carefully maneuvering his team of soldiers and Hunting Dogs. If he sensed anything amiss, he immediately ordered them to halt.

For over a dozen minutes, they found nothing, as if there were no Terrazoa in the forest.

"This is strange," Su Chen mused. "Ju Ling mentioned that Terrazoa's favorite habitat is the forest, and this is one of the darkest forests. How can there be none?"

Just as Su Chen was pondering this, he suddenly spotted a red dot in his field of vision. He immediately ordered his subordinates to stop and slowly approached it.

As he got closer, Su Chen saw that the red dot was, in fact, a massive dinosaur, a Triceratops.

The Triceratops appeared to be over ten meters long and nearly five meters tall, making it a colossal creature.

Without a doubt, this was a Terrazoa. Never assume that Terrazoa are merely a group of unintelligent dinosaurs; being a species in the Universe indicated they possessed significant intelligence.

Even the primitive Terrazoa had considerable intelligence. Initially, the people of Lakestar underestimated them, and it led to many hardships.

"Seventh Order peak, huh? Let's give it a try."

With that thought, Su Chen directly elevated one of his Red Alert soldiers to Seventh Order peak strength and sent him to assess the strength of this Terrazoa. Meanwhile, the other Red Alert soldiers and Hunting Dogs scattered to ensure that no one would interfere with the upcoming battle.

The Red Alert soldier approached stealthily and opened fire!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bullets from an AK-47 capable of harming a Seventh Order expert directly pierced several holes in the Triceratops. The resting Triceratops roared angrily, immediately stood up, and spotted the Red Alert soldiers.

It let out a loud roar, lowered its head, and charged at the Red Alert soldiers. A protective energy shield appeared in front of it, and the ground trembled beneath its iron hooves.

Terrazoa had some similarities with the Ghost Clan; their strength lay in their physical attributes, and they had a natural talent for controlling air currents.

The energy shield raised by the charging Triceratops not only protected its front but could also shatter upon contact with an enemy, potentially stunning or killing them.

Facing the attack of such a colossal creature, the Red Alert soldiers wouldn't stand a chance on their own, but they were under Su Chen's command.

"This is a perfect opportunity to test the effectiveness of Ghost Patterns. Who is stronger, the Soldier with Ghost Patterns or the Triceratops?"

Su Chen smirked and activated the special ability deployment of the Red Alert soldiers. Suddenly, all the Red Alert soldiers entered a deployment state, creating a small fortress-like aura around them. Their defense was greatly enhanced.

But that wasn't all. Strange Ghost Patterns appeared on the Red Alert soldiers' faces, rapidly spreading across their bodies, placing them in a Burst cultivation state.

At this moment, the Red Alert soldier had reached the peak of his life!

Simultaneously, the charging Triceratops was almost upon them, crashing forcefully into the Red Alert soldier.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the Triceratops came to an abrupt halt, one of its massive horns grasped firmly by the Red Alert soldier's hands, preventing it from advancing any further!

The energy shield shattered completely, causing no harm to the Red Alert soldier.

The contrast was clear, the Red Alert soldier with Ghost Patterns was the clear victor! (To be continued...)
