Chapter 509: The Ghost Clan's Large Outpost |
The news reached the ears of the Ghost Masters, and they were astounded to learn that the ones who had destroyed their Weapons were, in fact, a group of Ghost Clan members!
What was going on?
How could there be Ghost Clan members willing to betray them and aid humans?
"What do these Ghost Clan members look like?" A Ghost Master asked his subordinates, as if he had realized something important.
"Ghost Master, according to the reports, these Ghost Clan members resemble us in general, but they don't have Ghost Patterns on their faces."
Hearing this, the Ghost Master immediately understood what was happening. It wasn't just the Ghost Masters; the surrounding Ghost Kings also remembered an existence that had long been abandoned by them.
"The Ghost Clan that was left behind by history dares to appear before us!" The Ghost Master's voice was filled with coldness and contempt. In their eyes, these Ghost Clan members without Ghost Patterns couldn't even be considered part of the Ghost Clan.
Faced with these former Ghost Clan members, they looked at them with a trace of disdain. In their eyes, those who possessed Ghost Patterns, like themselves, were the true representatives of the Ghost Clan.
However, they seemed to have forgotten that when Ghost Patterns had first appeared, those with Ghost Patterns had all been treated as anomalies and dealt with accordingly.
Ghost Clan history was ancient, and apart from a few Ghost Clan members who studied history, most Ghost Clan members had little knowledge of their own history. They didn't even know how Ghost Patterns had originally appeared.
"These fallen Ghost Clan members once had some skills. Regardless of how they did it, our only task now is to let them know the fate of traitors!"
An order was transmitted to all Ghost Clan members. If they found a Ghost Clan member without Ghost Patterns on their face, they were to be executed without mercy!
The appearance of this order surprised many Ghost Clan members. It was the first time they had learned that there were Ghost Clan members without Ghost Patterns in the world. Could they even be considered part of the Ghost Clan?
However, they were destined not to find the former Ghost Clan members. They currently resided in ten Cities, living much better lives than in the Underworld. In the Underworld, they had to eat some terrible food to barely fill their stomachs, but on the surface, they had eaten rice and meat for the first time, and they were overjoyed.
Now, even if they were asked to return to the Underworld, they probably wouldn't want to.
At the Red Alert Base, Su Chen summoned Prince Hewlett and gave him a task: lead the Restoration Army to a large Ghost Clan outpost and eliminate all the Ghost Clan members inside.
This large outpost was where the Ghost Masters were located. Their Dark Cloud had been broken apart by the former Ghost Clan members, and they were heavily injured. Su Chen wouldn't miss this excellent opportunity.
However, he didn't order the Red Alert Base to take action this time; he wanted Prince Hewlett to make a name for himself.
People from Yan Yun Star knew that Prince Hewlett had established the Restoration Army, but its reputation hadn't spread yet. This was a great opportunity.
"Commander, the Restoration Army currently doesn't have any experts beyond the Fifth Order. How can we deal with so many Ghost Masters and Ghost Kings?" Prince Hewlett wore a troubled expression.
Hewlett was well aware of the strength of his Restoration Army. If they really went there, they would be easy prey.
Snap!
Su Chen snapped his fingers, and then over a dozen figures appeared in the Command Room. Half of them were Chronolegionair Troops, and each of them held a person from Yan Yun Star.
"These are Seventh Order experts for you to use. You don't need to worry about the Ghost Masters and Ghost Kings; my people will handle them. You just need to deal with the Ghost Clan members who are below the Eighth Order, can you handle that?" Su Chen looked at him calmly.
Hewlett's expression turned excited. These were more than a dozen Seventh Order experts, plus Commander had already taken care of the Ghost Clan members who were Eighth Order or higher. If he couldn't handle this, he would truly be useless.
"Please rest assured, Commander. I can make a military oath; I will definitely take care of those Ghost Clan members!" Hewlett saluted.
"Very well, there's no need for a military oath. You should understand the consequences if you can't complete this mission," Su Chen warned.
Hearing Su Chen's words, Hewlett suddenly felt a sense of unease.
This grand action by the Ghost Clan had nearly prevented Su Chen from completing the second-tier mission. Of course, he couldn't let it go. He had to give the Ghost Clan a big surprise.
After Hewlett left with his men, Su Chen turned to Ju Ling. "This time, take some of your people with you. You just need to make sure to kill all the Eighth Order Ghost Clan members. You can leave the rest to them."
"Yes, Commander."
Because the Red Alert Base was currently short-staffed, even Yun Ru, who was conducting research in the Combat Laboratory, was called out. The three Super Soldiers, along with some troops above the Eighth Order, arrived via the Base's teleportation system at the nearest Base to the large Ghost Clan outpost, where they awaited the Restoration Army's arrival.
Back at the Restoration Army camp, Hewlett's expression remained elated. This might be his moment of glory. If he managed to wipe out the Ghost Clan's large outpost, he expected everyone would look at him with new eyes.
Even if he knew that it was Red Alert Base secretly assisting him, he didn't mind. At least on the surface, everyone would know that it was Prince Hewlett and the Restoration Army who had destroyed the Ghost Clan's large outpost.
They knew that each Ghost Clan's large outpost was incredibly powerful, with several Ghost Masters and Ghost Kings, including some at the Ninth Order. Such places couldn't be flattened with numbers alone.
At this moment, Wang Chun, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up. "It seems like you've overlooked something. Who is behind the Restoration Army?"
