Chapter 452: Sell, Sell, Sell!
Wherever the Red Alert forces passed, not a single blade of grass grew!
This statement was no joke. As long as an area was passed through and occupied by the Red Alert forces, it would become the property of the Red Alert Base, and all the buildings and units inside could be sold.
Su Chen continued to conquer and sell, accumulating millions of Energy Points along the way.
He quickly calculated that this was even faster than obtaining Energy Points from mining resources.
Any building units that were sold became flat ground, whether they belonged to Humans or the Ghost Clan; the system didn't discriminate.
Captured Ghost Clan and Shadow Ghosts were all taken to the nearest Base and recycled using the Army Recycling Factory, bringing in more Energy Points.
As for the captured Humans, they were all brought into the Red Alert Base to increase its population, and their job was to mine!
"This method is really good. Why didn't I think of it before?" Su Chen regretted not using this approach back on Earth. If he had, he would have become a big shot a long time ago.
But it wasn't too late now, and Su Chen planned to make up for what he hadn't done before. Moreover, with his current strength, he could easily handle it, as long as he didn't provoke any experts above the ninth rank.
Su Chen only needed to do one thing: sell, sell, sell!
Sell all the building units, sell all the useless Ghost Clan and Shadow Ghosts, and if any Humans acted recklessly, they would be sold too. Su Chen wouldn't indulge them. Only those who were obedient would qualify to become miners.
The large-scale actions of the Red Alert forces caught the attention of the nearby Human and Ghost Clan powerhouses.
Due to the immense size of Yan Yun Star, Humans were organized into zones for management. Yan Yun Star was divided into 50 zones, and Su Chen was in the 49th zone!
As one of the lower-numbered zones, the strongest Human experts in this area were only at the 8th Order Early-Term. Faced with the Ghost Clan's massive invasion, they could only pray every day that the Ghost Clan wouldn't come for them.
But their illusions were shattered today.
"My lord, a scout has reported that there are large numbers of Ghost Clan appearing 0 kilometers away," a soldier reported to Li Jing.
Li Jing's body trembled, but he didn't let his subordinates see his fear. He forced himself to stay calm. "How many are there approximately?"
"Initial estimates suggest there might be around twenty thousand."
Upon hearing this number, Li Jing's face lit up. This was good news; the Ghost Clan didn't have a hundred thousand-strong army trying to break their city. It was almost like a dream!
Although his own strength wasn't very high, with a large army, they could resist.
In fact, Li Jing had considered joining the Ghost Clan in the past, but he didn't have a way in. If he had rashly entered Ghost Clan territory, he might have been captured and eaten by the Ghost Clan. He didn't want to die.
He had been waiting for this moment, and now the Ghost Clan had finally arrived.
Just as Li Jing was preparing to organize defenses, the soldier's voice sounded again, "My lord, although the enemy numbers aren't great, it seems they are... the Ghost God Army."
"What?" Li Jing nearly fell to the ground in shock.
The name "Ghost God Army" was enough to make anyone shiver.
They were the elite forces of the Ghost Clan, and shortly after the Ghost Clan's appearance, they had gained fame with a resounding victory, leaving a lasting impression on the minds of all Human powerhouses.
In that battle, the Ghost God Army, with a force of ten thousand, defeated the Humans' hundred thousand-strong army, and ever since then, Humans have known the power of the Ghost God Army.
The Ghost God Army wasn't necessarily stronger than the Human soldiers; most of them were Third Order Fourth Tier Ghost Clan members. However, they had a unique ability that set them apart from the Human army. It seemed like they possessed some of the Ghost Master's abilities, allowing them to use certain Transcendent Abilities. For example, they could enhance their own defensive or offensive capabilities. In other words, each Ghost Clan member had a form of Transcendent Ability. How could Humans resist that?
Considering that they were already physically weaker, without the assistance of weapons, they would have likely failed long ago.
Li Jing hadn't anticipated that the Ghost God Army would appear in his vicinity. It was just his bad luck.
Li Jing tried to maintain a composed facade. "Issue the orders: send fifty thousand troops out to battle, maintain a strong defense. The Ghost God Army isn't as terrifying as they seem; after all, they're still just Ghost Clan."
"Yes, my lord."
Once the soldier left, Li Jing paced anxiously. He knew that the city probably couldn't be saved. If anyone was willing to take over this mess of a city, he would gladly hand it over. But who else had the qualifications to become the city's ruler? Even if someone did, who would want to take on the position at a time like this?
Li Jing was troubled, and just then, another soldier entered.
"What's the matter? Have the Ghost God Army breached the city gates?" Li Jing asked.
"No, my lord. Our scouts have spotted an army heading towards our city. It appears to be a Human force."
"Really?" Li Jing was greatly relieved. He instinctively believed that this Human force was here to support them. After all, who would send troops wandering around at a time like this? Attacking the city hadn't even crossed his mind.
If they were willing to take over as the city's ruler, he would gladly step aside.
"Do you know who they are?" Li Jing inquired.
"Their response has been silent. We don't know the details," the soldier replied with a shake of his head.
Li Jing felt a trace of doubt. What was the situation with this Human force? But being fellow Humans, they surely wouldn't stand by without offering help.
"Send out a distress signal to them. Whether Shaling City can survive or not depends on this."
Meanwhile, several dozen kilometers away, the commander leading the Red Alert troops, Su Chen's trusted subordinate, Red Alert Soldier Su Jiu, was on the move.
Upon receiving Commander's orders, Su Jiu immediately led his troops toward the nearest city. He delegated the task of capturing Ghost Clan and Humans to others.
He hadn't forgotten Commander's instructions. They needed to occupy nine cities in the shortest possible time and gain complete control over them. In the past, on Earth, Su Jiu had experience with this kind of operation. However, this time, things were different.
Previously, he had infiltrated a city from within, gradually getting closer to the Controller and making them submit. But this time, the approach had changed. He led a large army, and if the opposing party didn't agree, they would resort to force.
With strength, they could be domineering!
For Commander's mission, Su Jiu wouldn't spare any means. The Red Alert Soldiers would give everything for Commander!
"Sir, there's communication from a city ahead. They're requesting our help against an impending Ghost Clan army. They promise substantial compensation afterward," a soldier reported to Su Jiu. (To be continued...)
