Chapter 705: It Seems Something Was Overlooked
Su Chen's successful destruction of a sub-base belonging to the Yuri Camps or Factions sent shockwaves throughout the World!
No one had anticipated that he would infiltrate a Yuri Sub-base alone and actually manage to obliterate it. The feat was beyond imagination.
Had Su Chen not presented evidence he cunningly acquired, the Generals of the Soviet Union Camps or Factions would likely have found it all too fantastical to believe.
What piqued their curiosity most was the identity of the Knight accompanying Su Chen.
In the footage, this Knight rode a colossal mechanical dragon, soaring through the skies and diverting considerable attention, thus enabling Su Chen to demolish the sub-base successfully.
"Major Su, your combat achievements have been duly recorded. However, could you clarify the identity of this individual by your side?" A General asked, his gaze upon Su Chen laced with a trace of chill. "Surveying globally, we've never encountered this person before. Where does he hail from?"
For the four major Camps or Factions, there were virtually no secrets in this World. The emergence of such a potent force, capable of summoning a mechanical dragon, was not something anyone could afford to ignore.
Yet, despite scouring all available information, they uncovered nothing related to this Knight, as if he were not of this World.
While others were in the dark, only General Paxton seemed to have a peculiar look in his eyes when observing the Knight.
He considered the parallel universe theory. If even the Soviet Union Camps or Factions lacked information on this Knight, it indicated that he was likely a warrior from another World!"Su Chen managed to enlist help from a parallel world. No wonder the initial Commander appointed him as the Commander. It seems, per the initial Commander's intent, only Su Chen could assume the role without disappearing," General Paxton pondered.
Unbeknownst to Su Chen, his summoning of the Dragon Knight only solidified General Paxton's belief that he was the chosen Commander.
Hearing the General's words, Su Chen scoffed, "This so-called... what's the General's name again? It seems whom I choose as an ally has no bearing on you, does it?"
With his current standing, his position as Commander was all but assured. At this juncture, he had no reason to fear a General!
"You!" The affronted General, furious, was about to retort with vehemence but was curtly interrupted by General Paxton.
"No need for further discussion. Major Su has proven through his combat merits that he is undoubtedly qualified to be the Commander. I believe we can commence preparations for the Commander's inauguration ceremony."
At this moment, regardless of any internal discontent, they had no grounds for objection. Persistent opposition might even cause some neutrally-aligned Generals to switch allegiances.
Previous Commanders who had vanished never had a proper succession ceremony, with decisions made covertly. Su Chen was, in many years, the first to formally accept the position of Commander.
Should Su Chen assume command, it would signify the Soviet Union Camps or Factions' readiness for a major offensive. They would then release a bombshell—that all Commanders of the four major Camps or Factions had disappeared!
This development perfectly aligned with Su Chen's plans. He needed control over the four major Camps or Factions to facilitate his mission completion, as only then could he depart this Red Alert World.
The Red Alert World was indeed fascinating, but it wasn't his World.
The inauguration was a grand affair, the first Commander succession ceremony in decades. Many Soldiers from the Soviet Union Camps or Factions were perplexed—the previous Commander wasn't that old, so why had he stepped down so suddenly?
On the day of the ceremony, countless individuals watched the live broadcast, only to discover the absence of the old Commander, with Su Chen as the sole focus throughout.
And Su Chen, right there on the stage, divulged news that stunned the entire World—the Commanders of the four major Camps or Factions had long disappeared!
Such monumental news caused a global uproar, with many finding it unbelievable that their Camps or Factions' Commanders had vanished. However, the high-ranking officials could not refute it, for those within the high echelons were aware of this truth.
It had merely been concealed before, but now, Su Chen had laid it bare for all to see.
Many soldiers only follow the Commander's orders, and with the Commander missing, they organize teams to seek out the high-ranking officials within their own Camps or Factions, eager to understand the specifics of the situation.
However, at this moment, it is precisely when the Soviet Union Camps or Factions launch a major offensive!
But one Camp or Faction dealing with three major Camps or Factions simultaneously is like Su Chen playing the Red Alert game, battling against three extreme-level computers alone; it's a suicidal mission.
Even though the number of Super Soldiers in one Camp or Faction can't compare to those in the Soviet Union Camps or Factions, when all three factions are combined, their total forces completely overwhelm them.
Consequently, the ultimate outcome might be the downfall of the Soviet Union Camps or Factions.
After becoming the Commander, Su Chen, now with the highest permissions within the Soviet Union Camps or Factions, looked at the few people in front of him and suddenly thought of a question, “Are you few the only Super Soldiers in our Camp or Faction?”
Boris was the first to step forward and reply, “To my knowledge, there should be a few more, though I’ve never met them.”
“General Paxton, assemble all remaining Super Soldiers.”
General Paxton, now a loyal Deputy to Su Chen, with other Generals still assessing the situation, were waiting for the next day. If Su Chen remained alive, they would have no choice but to submit to him. If he disappeared, things would continue as they had before.
It wasn't long before General Paxton returned: “I’ve notified the Super Soldiers in the subsidiary Camps or Factions to come here as quickly as possible.”
In this world, 'as quickly as possible' refers to the use of a Hyperspace Teleportation Device.
Shortly after, several figures entered.
“Greetings, Commander.”
Seeing these individuals, Su Chen's expression subtly changed. He unexpectedly saw a second familiar face!
Among these newly arrived Super Soldiers were surprisingly Fein and Alize, siblings who were also here!
If they were all here, then where was Yun Ru?
Su Chen realized he had been foolish; Yun Ru's sub-Camp or Faction belonged to the Soviet Union Camps or Factions, a detail he had overlooked. If Yun Ru were present, his chances of attacking the three major Camps or Factions would significantly increase.
“Fein, where is your elder sister?” Su Chen directly asked right off the bat.
Fein was a bit puzzled, not understanding why this newly-appointed Commander was treating him with such familiarity. What was he talking about?
“Elder sister? I don’t have an elder sister, just a younger one.”
Su Chen’s expression changed. If Fein didn’t have an elder sister, what about Yun Ru?
“Aren’t you a Super Soldier from the Burning Wind Camp or Faction?”
“No, I belong to ZG, a subsidiary Camp or Faction under the Soviet Union,” Fein clarified.
Su Chen slapped his forehead, realizing the chaos of this world. Without Yun Ru, there naturally wouldn’t be a Burning Wind Camp or Faction, considering it was established by Yun Ru herself.
“Does the base have any Centurion Siege Mechs?” This time, Su Chen directed his question at General Paxton.
“I have never heard of such a Mecha, and even the Empire of the Rising Sun, known for their Mecha technology, doesn’t have Mechas of that name.”
It became clear; this world might lack Yun Ru’s existence.
But this was peculiar. If even the siblings Fein and Alize were present, it didn’t make sense for Yun Ru to be absent.
“Wait, have I missed something?” (To be continued)
