Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1602: Chapter 599: Encircled (Part 2)

Fortunately, despite the heavy consumption earlier, it never stopped replenishing energy, so the reserves remain in peak condition.

Now, there are two choices before the Secondary Mother Empress.

First, steadily output energy, fight while retreating, and slowly escape to the rear through conventional flight.

Second, unleash a burst of energy, first eradicate this troublesome group of fleas, then leave with grandeur.

Although the Secondary Mother Empress does not have a humanoid form, it possesses high intelligence and has many intelligent beings to advise it. It can certainly discern what makes the Red Blade Clan stand out.

Since the battle between the two armies began, the Sublimators had never encountered such an elite force as the Red Blade Army.

The best equipment, strongest battle intent, highest military discipline, unprecedented pre-battle scientific capabilities, all these distinguish the Red Blade Army from the ordinary frontier troops of the Empire.

Although the Sublimators have yet to receive the intelligence sold by Liu An, they have realized that Ren Zhong and his Red Blade Clan pose a significant threat in this battle.

Thus, the Secondary Mother Empress resolutely chose the second strategy, to go all out and first eliminate the Red Blade Clan before making an escape.

Therefore, this now isolated Secondary Mother Empress showed no intention of retreat but instead rallied its remaining strength, fully controlling and mobilizing the surrounding space creatures, while also frantically birthing soldiers to replenish its depleted troops, and began a furious counterattack.

Furthermore, to enhance its ability to birth soldiers, the Secondary Mother Empress made a new decision.

It stopped releasing the three-dimensional space coordinate interference information flow and the super large range spiritual shock information flow.

Previously, it had distorted space coordinates to block Ren Zhong’s continuous short-range jumps, protecting the building passage. Now that the passage was destroyed, it accurately judged that the previous terrifying constant star-level strike was not sustainable. Besides, releasing such interference information flow always required high power, with enormous energy consumption, and it no longer had infinite energy. Moreover, the Red Blade Clan had found a way to counteract it. So, it was easy to decide to abandon this inefficient large-scale battlefield tactic to conserve energy.

The same logic applied to the spiritual shock information flow. This was a new tactic first used after the Sublimators, Pilgrims, and Spirit Demon Race secretly joined forces. It was meant to be a sure-kill method to turn the tables but was easily countered by the Red Blade Clan. The energy consumption of this tactic was equally dreadful. Now that the situation had changed and it was all to no avail, the Secondary Mother Empress naturally gave it up as well.

Soon after the Secondary Mother Empress changed its strategy, the three-dimensional space correction information flow and anti-spiritual shock information flow from the Red Blade Army also gradually ceased.

Both sides no longer employed any clever tricks but turned space warfare into a close-quarters melee where the braver won.

Ren Zhong’s personal pressure lightened a bit compared to before.

Under the cover of countless Red Blade Army warships, he finally managed to maintain a slight distance from the Secondary Mother Empress, then used ultra-short-range jumps to proactively retreat to the core of the follow-up Red Blade Legion Fleet, resupplying energy and resting his ship for the second time in this battle.

At this moment, the Empire Super Network finally found a slight gap in the opponent’s strong interference information flow.

The Red Blade Army completed an intelligence exchange with the Headquarters and the Empire Core.

The new intelligence arrived at the Empire Core within seconds, instantly shocking the Royal Family stationed at the Supreme Military Department.

Previously, these members of the Imperial Family knew that the command from the Marquis Zhenjiang couldn’t reach the front lines, thus allowing the Earl Red Blade, who enjoyed the privilege of disregarding external commands in the field, complete autonomous decision-making power.

At that time, although everyone in the Empire’s Supreme Military Department Staff Department recognized Earl Red Blade’s loyalty to the Emperor, the vast majority expected Earl Red Blade to choose the Secondary Mother Empress as the target for the constant star-level strike weapon. Because only then could Earl Red Blade and his kin escape danger.

This was not about loyalty but human nature. One must first survive to serve the Emperor with a useful body. Moreover, everyone knew that although Earl Red Blade was unmatched in bravery, he had no heir, and no legal successor. The rise and fall of the entire clan were tightly bound to him personally, so he should cherish his life even more.

Yet, no one could have imagined that this newly rising Earl, who had established his foundation in the Empire for less than three hundred years and whose direct clan had yet to prosper, would choose the most loyal but self-endangering option when faced with a life-and-death dilemma.
