The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 417: Exoskeleton Battle Armor

Emperor Kong seemed to have realized something and was greatly surprised. "Are you the Spy from Sovereign Su within Mutant?"

The Human Emperor had known for a while that Sovereign Su had his agents within Mutant, one being the Mirror King and the other the Charm Emperor.

However, they had never seen the true appearance of the Spy. If the Spy hadn't revealed themselves, they would have never recognized this person as the Mirror King.

The Spy smiled slightly, confirming their identity.

It was worth noting that the Mirror King had stood right before them, but they hadn't detected that the Mirror King was a Human in disguise. If the Spy took on Xia Ji Chu's appearance, it would be almost impossible for anyone to uncover his true identity.

The only concern was that they knew very little about what Xia Ji Chu knew. There was a possibility that those close to him might notice inconsistencies.

"Can you hypnotize Xia Ji Chu?" Emperor Kong turned to Yuri Clone beside him.

"Our strengths are too disparate for that to work," Yuri Clone responded decisively.

At that moment, the Spy spoke up. "There's no need to hypnotize him. Just give me a day, and I can replicate nearly everything about Xia Ji Chu perfectly."

The entirety of Rainless City knew that their lord was hosting a group of people who had assisted the city. Even if he didn't appear for a day or two, it wouldn't raise suspicions.

The Spy was using this opportunity to go out and gather the information they needed.

A day later, a completely new Xia Ji Chu emerged. No one would have suspected that he was the Spy in disguise.

Emperor Kong looked at the Spy in disbelief. Even with his keen eyesight, he couldn't discern any differences in this Xia Ji Chu before him, even after observing for an hour.

"Is this the Transcendent Ability of disguise? It's incredible, actually allowing someone to assume the appearance of another person." Eastern Emperor marveled.

The other Emperors wore similar expressions. None of them could have imagined that the Spy would be able to imitate Xia Ji Chu to this extent.

They had just tested it out earlier. They had made the Spy perform in various simulated scenarios, and the result was that the Spy was identical to Xia Ji Chu as they knew him.

They had even sent the Spy out for a few rounds, giving commands, and no one had suspected a thing.

"With one of our own as the city lord, controlling the city won't take long. Now what we need to do is find a way to fend off the Ghost Clan's attacks."

The Ghost Clan was formidable; otherwise, they wouldn't have inflicted such significant losses on the people of Yan Yun Star.

Their purpose in coming here was simple: to prevent the people of Yan Yun Star from heading to Earth.

It sounded simple, but in practice, it was quite complex.

As long as anyone knew the coordinates of Earth, they had the potential to go there. Everyone wanted to live on a primitive planet without fear of the Ghost Clan's threat.

They were unaware that Earth wasn't just any primitive planet; it was a planet with sentient life.

For this reason, they needed a base and had to seamlessly integrate themselves into this planet, becoming the people of Yan Yun Star. They absolutely couldn't reveal Earth's existence.

"I took some time to examine Rainless City's technological level. In certain areas, they are indeed more advanced than Earth. However, in some aspects, their technology seems to lag behind Earth's," Emperor Yu said with confusion.

In theory, a planet capable of building warships should have technology that vastly surpassed Earth's in every aspect. The results were not what he had anticipated.

"How is that possible?" Emperor Kong furrowed his brows.

Soon, a list of technologies was placed in Emperor Kong's hands. After carefully reading through it, he realized that Emperor Yu was correct.

The conventional weapons used by city soldiers were laser guns that could fire a laser capable of melting steel and iron. However, the top-tier weapon atop these laser guns had a power comparable to their Hellfire Laser Cannon. It could only deal with eighth-order powerhouses.

Additionally, Yan Yun Star seemed to emphasize personal combat skills, which led to fewer ground and air weapons overall. Compared to Earth, they had far fewer in quantity.

"Does this mean Earth's weapons would find a good market here?" White Emperor's expression turned strange.

He had initially believed that Earth's weapons couldn't compare to those here, but after comparing, it turned out their own weapons weren't bad at all. What was going on?

If they knew that this wasn't any significant planet but a colonial one, they might understand.

Think about it, what kind of valuable things could be found in the rural areas of a country?

Even so, Yan Yun Star's overall level was still higher than Earth's.

"Let's start producing weapons. With weapons, even ordinary people can handle the Ghost Clan. It seems the Ghost Clan prefers close combat. Ghost Clan members who possess long-range abilities are quite rare. We don't need to worry much about them," Eastern Emperor said, holding a lot of data on the Ghost Clan.

Having fought against the Ghost Clan for so long, Humans had conducted thorough research on them.

Among the Ghost Clan, warriors held a dominant position. They were mostly melee fighters. However, there were some special members, such as the Flying Head Ghost that possessed flying abilities, and the Ghost Master that could control mysterious powers for ranged attacks and buffs.

These two types of Ghost Clan members caused Humans significant trouble. In every battle, Humans would prioritize eliminating these Ghost Clan members.

With a command from the Spy, Rainless City began full-scale production of various weapons. During this time, their scientists had delved into the Red Alert technology to a significant extent. Although they couldn't produce some of the more advanced weapons, they had no trouble with the more common ones.

Of course, with the prevalence of laser guns here, conventional firearms had lost their value. Only a few types of firearms remained relevant.

Woo-woo-woo!

Suddenly, the sound of horns echoed, the harbinger of a Ghost Clan attack!

"Lord of the City, the Ghost Clan is attacking again!" a soldier reported to the Spy.

"Send the soldiers out to repel the enemies and defend the city!"

After enduring multiple Ghost Clan attacks, Rainless City had already figured out the Ghost Clan's attack patterns and was using established tactics to confront the enemy.

Emperor Kong and the others observed soldiers wearing exoskeleton battle armor, armed with laser guns, rushing into battle. Even the tanks couldn't match their speed; in a battlefield, agility was essential for survival.

The exoskeleton battle armor was essential equipment for every soldier.

The principle behind this equipment was simple: a special artificial skeleton was placed outside various joints in the body. This skeleton could amplify a person's movements. With just a fraction of force, it could generate ten times the strength.

Human soldiers relied on this equipment to barely withstand the powerful close combat abilities of the Ghost Clan.

Similar to Earth, not everyone on Yan Yun Star could become a Transcendent. The number of Transcendents was much lower than that of regular people. With the exoskeleton battle armor, ordinary people could possess power not much inferior to that of Transcendents.

Of course, the exoskeleton battle armor had its limits. Through testing, they found that the maximum strength an ordinary person could achieve was at the peak of the fourth level. Most individuals were only at the first or second level.
