The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 537: Prince Hewlett's Pinnacle Moment

Finding the enormous Rabbit was no simple task, so Su Chen could only have his subordinates keep an eye out for any traces of it.

On the other hand, Prince Hewlett led his Restoration Army towards the location provided by Su Chen. Their objective was to eliminate a medium-sized tribe of the Ghost Clan.

Honestly, Prince Hewlett couldn't comprehend Su Chen's intentions. Risking so much to have the Restoration Army wipe out a medium-sized tribe, what was the purpose?

Little did he know that it was merely a convenient way for his second-in-command spy to make an escape while also giving the Restoration Army another chance to make a name for itself.

The current strength of the Restoration Army was formidable, with almost no weaknesses except for the absence of top-tier experts. They had received assistance from the Red Alert Base and possessed a wide array of weaponry. Along their journey, they had encountered Ghost Clan members and exterminated them all, keeping the black Energy Crystals they collected, which Hewlett knew the Red Alert Base would purchase.

The Restoration Army's weaponry was not obtained for free; they had been acquired by trading with these black crystals and the corpses of the Ghost Clan. So far, the Restoration Army still owed the Red Alert Base a significant amount of resources, which had become one of Prince Hewlett's biggest headaches.

"Your Highness, we'll reach our destination in less than a hundred kilometers," a trusted aide reported to Prince Hewlett.

"At last. Commander Su said not to worry about experts above the eighth order, so as long as we deal with the weaker ones," Prince Hewlett grinned, relishing the opportunity to bully the weak.

However, after losing the protection of his father, he had experienced the harsh realities of the world and understood that strength and power were the most substantial assets.

During this time, Prince Hewlett had used the Transcendent Elixir to transform himself into a Transcendent. He had also received some special treatment, and in a short period, he had become a Third Order Transcendent, progressing rapidly.

Prince Hewlett was cautious. He dispatched unmanned reconnaissance drones to get a clear picture of the enemy's approximate strength. After numerous battles, he had finally started using his brain.

Unfortunately, the Ghost Clan quickly discovered the reconnaissance drones and destroyed all of them, thwarting Prince Hewlett's plans.

"No way to gather information. In that case, we'll advance with our main force and wipe out this medium-sized tribe," Prince Hewlett declared coldly.

He didn't believe that a mere medium-sized tribe could pose any threat to his Restoration Army, as long as the eighth-order experts on the other side didn't intervene.

The battle commenced swiftly, and under the relentless assault of the Restoration Army, the Ghost Clan couldn't withstand their onslaught. Finally, the eighth-order Ghost King on the other side couldn't bear it any longer and soared into the sky, preparing to take action.

This Ghost King was none other than the second-in-command spy in disguise. Thanks to his covert preparations, the entire tribe was left with just one eighth-order expert. His intervention gave hope to the Ghost Clan members below.

Prince Hewlett sneered; he knew that soon, powerful individuals from the Red Alert Base would appear to block this Ghost King for him.

However, as the opponent drew closer, no reinforcements from the Red Alert Base showed up. Something was amiss.

Prince Hewlett grew uneasy and immediately ordered his subordinates to use anti-aircraft weapons to bring down the eighth-order Ghost King.

Some Restoration Army soldiers deployed anti-aircraft rockets and bombarded the skies, while Apocalypse Tanks launched missiles for aerial interception. The Restoration Army had limited anti-air capabilities, unlike the Red Alert Base, which had stationary anti-air weapons. This deficiency became apparent when they genuinely needed it. Prince Hewlett watched in fear as the eighth-order Ghost King completely ignored his anti-air defense and flew directly toward his position, causing extreme panic.

Prince Hewlett had no means of contending with an eighth-order powerhouse. If the enemy got close, he was finished.

"Commander deceived me. Is he trying to use the Ghost Clan to get rid of me? Why?" Prince Hewlett's initial reaction was this. However, he quickly shook his head. Regardless of past or present, he had no way to compare to that individual. If Commander Su really had such intentions, he would have perished long ago.

In this life-or-death situation, Prince Hewlett knew he had only one option.

Run!

Without uttering a word, Prince Hewlett abandoned his subordinates and dashed straight towards the rear. While running, he issued orders for his subordinates to obstruct the enemy. If they could ensure his escape, that would be enough!

At times like this, Prince Hewlett deeply wished he had an eighth-order subordinate. Unfortunately, he hadn't encountered a City Lord-level Expert along the way; otherwise, he might have had a chance.

When Prince Hewlett's Restoration Army wiped out a large Ghost Clan stronghold in the past, many City Lord-level Experts had expressed their willingness to join the Restoration Army if Prince Hewlett came to their territory.

The second spy had spotted Prince Hewlett early on. Just as Commander had predicted, the first thing he thought of when faced with a life-threatening situation was to run. If it weren't for Commander instructing him to play a role, he wouldn't have bothered.

The second spy descended from the sky, seemingly about to capture Prince Hewlett. However, in the next moment, a massive missile flew towards him, fired from a V4 Rocket Launcher Vehicle!

These were weapons from the Red Alert Base, and the missile possessed considerable power. Even an ordinary Seventh Order expert would be instantly killed by a single shot, and eighth-order experts dared not resist it directly.

Of course, the second spy recognized the threat. He maintained a blank expression but suddenly seemed to be affected by internal injuries, spewing a mouthful of blood, and his body froze as the missile struck him directly.

"Is he dead?" Prince Hewlett asked hopefully.

But in the next moment, his expression froze. The eighth-order Ghost Clan hadn't died; he fell from the sky and crashed directly onto Prince Hewlett's escaping armored vehicle.

Boom!

The armored vehicle was instantly wrecked. If it weren't for the protection of his trusted aide, Prince Hewlett might have met his end.

After a while, Prince Hewlett realized that there was no commotion ahead and ordered his men to investigate.

Soon, his subordinates reported back, their faces filled with excitement. "Your Highness, that Ghost King is dead!"

"What?" Prince Hewlett was stunned. A Ghost King had died? Killed by the Restoration Army?

When he went over to personally confirm the corpse, the one lying there was indeed the Ghost King from moments ago. He burst into laughter three times.

Even without assistance from the Red Alert Base, he could still kill an eighth-order expert. Who else had such an achievement?However, Prince Hewlett didn't notice the fleeting smile on his subordinate's lips. Yes, he was the second spy, and the corpse that had just "died" was one he had specially arranged the Base to create as a clone.

Prince Hewlett was still immersed in the pinnacle of his life, while the second spy quietly left the battlefield. His next task was to rendezvous with the third spy and gather information about the Ghost Clan deity. Such information could only be known by the Ghost Master. (To be continued...)
