The Last Commander of the Red Alert

ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: The Last Commander of the Red Alert XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX Faced with the invitation from the Emperor

Faced with the invitation from the Emperor of the Feathered Warbler Empire, Su Chen eventually agreed.

He hadn't even met the previous emperor of the Rota Empire; the other party had vanished without a trace. It was unavoidable when the other side initiated treacherous schemes.

As for the Emperor of the Feathered Warbler Empire, Su Chen had a decent impression of him. At least, he didn't seem like the kind who enjoyed playing dirty tricks. Such a person was worth meeting, considering that he was also an emperor – a matter of giving face.

In theory, it sounded simple, but the practical implementation was a bit troublesome. The distance between them was vast, and having a face-to-face meeting through video required advanced technological support.

The Red Alert Empire possessed such technology, but since the Feathered Warbler Empire proposed the meeting, they naturally had to prepare the meeting technology themselves. If they couldn't, Su Chen wouldn't bother meeting.

On the Feathered Warbler Empire's side, they were also troubled. Having two emperors sit together face to face was clearly impractical. If someone on either side had ill intentions and directly attacked the other emperor, it would create chaos.

Thus, a video meeting was the best option.

However, the emperors were too far apart. Even with some compromise, they were separated by thousands of light-years, the closest distance both sides could tolerate. Arranging a video meeting at such a distance was a challenging task.

Such items were usually one-time use due to damages sustained over countless years in ruins. If not for this special circumstance, they wouldn't have been willing to bring out such a valuable artifact – a testament to the empire's heritage.

"Use it," declared the Feathered Warbler Emperor.

This represented the face of the Feathered Warbler Empire. If they couldn't even manage a video meeting, why would the other side bother communicating with them?

On the other side, Su Chen sat in a Command Room at a sub-base, and Alice's voice sounded, "Uncle, we've received a video signal from a thousand light-years away. Should we connect?"

"Connect. It seems this is the Feathered Warbler Empire's trump card. I didn't expect them to actually have such a thing."

The next moment, a video interface appeared before Su Chen. On it was a young man dressed in luxurious golden robes, his expression stern.

This was the first time the two emperors saw each other. Su Chen remained indifferent, while internally, the Feathered Warbler Emperor, Chongxiao, was somewhat shocked. He didn't expect the other emperor to be even younger than himself.

"Emperor of the Feathered Warbler Empire, Chongxiao."

"Emperor of the Red Alert Empire, Su Chen."

This was the first dialogue between the two emperors. Chongxiao didn't waste words and went straight to the point, "I hope that for the next period, both sides can cease hostilities. You should be aware of the appearance of the Zerg in our empires. Let's decide on the war between our empires after resolving the Zerg issue. However, I insist that until the Zerg threat is dealt with, both sides refrain from conflict. If you truly make a move, even if we have to ignore the Zerg, I will ensure you return in defeat!"

One had to admit that the Feathered Warbler Emperor was quite eloquent. On one hand, he was taking the initiative, proposing a ceasefire, and on the other hand, he set their bottom line – Red Alert Empire wouldn't take advantage during this vulnerable period.

"Negotiations occur on the basis of equal strength on both sides. So, Emperor Chongxiao, do you think the strength of the Feathered Warbler Empire is on par with my Red Alert Empire?" Su Chen tilted his head slightly, looking at him with indifference.

Chongxiao's fist clenched slightly. As an emperor, he felt insulted for the first time!

However, as Su Chen pointed out, he couldn't confirm the strength of the Red Alert Empire. The news of the Red Alert Empire destroying another empire was considered false by others, but only he thought it might be true!

Even if it were true, he couldn't admit it, as it would be a massive blow to the Feathered Warbler Empire.

Just as the Feathered Warbler Emperor was about to say, "If you want a war, then let's have a war," a courtier coughed lightly, reminding him.

Currently, the Feathered Warbler Empire was at a complete disadvantage, coupled with the Zerg problem. If they continued fighting, they would be the ones suffering.

Only the side in a weaker position would actively seek a meeting with the other. From the beginning, the Feathered Warbler Empire had been in a passive position.

Chongxiao took a deep breath. He knew he couldn't jeopardize the Feathered Warbler Empire due to his stubbornness.

"If my Feathered Warbler Empire were really to fight against the Red Alert Empire regardless of the consequences, I wonder if you could handle it?" he questioned.

Honestly, if the Feathered Warbler Empire abandoned the Zerg issue and directly confronted the Red Alert Empire, even the Red Alert Empire would suffer heavy losses.

"Oh, should we give it a try?" Su Chen's casual remark made it difficult for the other side to back down. He just spoke harshly, but he didn't expect the other emperor to be so stubborn. Now what?

As Chongxiao's expression became increasingly unpleasant, a gentle voice spoke, "Your Majesty of Red Alert, my father doesn't mean any harm. Please understand; the Feathered Warbler Empire only wishes that the human domain doesn't become a garden for the Zerg."

The scene shifted, revealing a woman who seemed like a fairy appearing on the screen. Even in Su Chen's eyes, he had to admit that she was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

"Who are you?"

"I am the Grand Princess Chongdie of the Feathered Warbler Empire. Greetings, Your Majesty of Red Alert."

"Since you know this is a matter between me and your father, what qualifies you to interrupt?" Su Chen showed no face to the other party.

Chongdie's expression slightly stiffened. Perhaps she had never encountered someone so disrespectful before. Considering her appearance, she was admired by many in the Feathered Warbler Empire.

Just as she was about to say something, Su Chen waved his hand, "Emperor of the Feathered Warbler, I'll give you two choices. Either the Feathered Warbler Empire surrenders and becomes a part of my empire, and I'll allow you to live peacefully until old age, or..."

Su Chen's gaze shifted, and his imposing aura seemed to penetrate the interface, charging toward Chongxiao, "Face me in battle!"

"A mere Zerg threat makes you so hesitant. What kind of emperor are you? Go back to farming in the countryside!"

"I'll give you half a year. Regardless of whether you solve the Zerg problem or not, the Red Alert Empire's fleet will launch an attack. Handle it yourself at that time!"

In an instant, the video communication ended.

"Haha, Alice, how was my performance just now?" Su Chen asked with a big smile, a complete departure from his serious demeanor moments ago.

"Uncle's performance was very good, just a bit worse than Number One Spy," Alice gestured with her hand, indicating a slight difference.

What was initially supposed to be an equal conversation turned into Su Chen berating the other party and, almost condescendingly, granting them half a year to solve the Zerg issue.

In reality, Su Chen needed this time to stabilize the occupied territories of the Feathered Warbler Empire, and the other party happened to provide him with that opportunity.
