The Last Commander of the Red Alert-Chapter 854: Are They on Drugs? (2nd Update)

ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: The Last Commander of the Red Alert XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX Lin Zhi was responsible for a battlefront

Lin Zhi was responsible for a battlefront spanning approximately a thousand light-years. They guarded this territory and had deployed various weapons and personnel on many planets and in the starry skies. Even if a cosmic race wanted to break through here, it would require a very large-scale assault to have any chance.

It was impossible for minor skirmishes to breach this defensive line.

Countless efforts and resources from humanity had been poured into maintaining these defenses. It could be said that even if a cosmic race quietly approached, they would be detected by the defense system here, without any exceptions.

As for why there were so many cosmic races within the Human Galactic Domain, no one knew the exact reason. Some speculated that these cosmic races might have inadvertently entered through temporary wormholes and, after some time, evolved into their current forms.

"Big brother, you're back! Did you succeed in dealing with the Rota Empire? It won't recover, right?" Someone shouted with excitement upon seeing Lin Zhi and his group returning.

Not all border generals belonged to the same system. After all, there were only 103 Empires, and most of the generals had risen through the ranks due to their outstanding military achievements. Many of their subordinates were descendants of soldiers who had fought on the front lines.

It was easy to understand why these warriors, who had fought on the front lines to the death, might never return to their homes. Naturally, they would marry and have children here, and their descendants would be close to the front lines. In the event that the front lines were breached, their children would be the first to face the cosmic race. Given this situation, no warrior dared to be complacent.

There were also some individuals who had left descendants within the Human Galactic Domain, and they remained single. However, such cases were relatively rare.

Lin Zhi enjoyed a high reputation among his peers, especially because he didn't act arrogantly. Apart from formal occasions, in most situations, they addressed Lin Zhi as "big brother."

"I'll have an important announcement shortly. Just wait for it," Lin Zhi said with a smile, noticing the excitement among the people.

Seeing Lin Zhi's smiling face, those people assumed that the battle for the revival of the Rota Empire had been successful and spread their speculations.

News spread quickly on the front lines. It was said that the Star Peak Empire had employed its technology on various fronts, and even over a thousand light-years away, information transmission took less than an hour.

Now, the soldiers on the front lines under Lin Zhi's command believed that the revival of the Rota Empire had been successful, and they were overjoyed.

However, not long after, Lin Zhi issued an official declaration that they had successfully joined the Red Alert Empire, and there would be no existence of the Rota Empire in the world from now on.

Everyone was left bewildered. What was going on?

Why weren't you playing by the usual rules, big brother?

Lin Zhi was well aware that among so many people, there were definitely cases similar to Smite who were unwilling to join the Red Alert Empire. He gave everyone the choice: to join or not to join.

Those who joined were presented with a long list of benefits, all of which were provided by the Red Alert Empire as perks. Those who chose not to join had... none!

Now, unless someone was a complete idiot, they knew which option to choose.

Except for a few stubborn individuals, almost everyone agreed to join the Red Alert Empire. What was originally a troublesome matter was easily resolved in this way.

A few days later, the Dark God clan, along with their followers, attacked the front lines. All the warriors went into action, and Lin Zhi faced a powerful Dark God in the starry sky!

In battles of the same level so far, humans had always been suppressed by the Dark Gods. Although they wouldn't die, it was always an uphill battle.

Unless they were some kind of prodigy, they couldn't turn the tables in a direct confrontation with Dark Gods. Lin Zhi wasn't one of them.

Originally, he only underwent one evolution, and in the face of Dark God attacks, he mostly played a defensive role, with few opportunities for offense.

The Dark God's ability to not be directly gazed upon caused significant trouble for humans.

This time was different. After successfully undergoing a second evolution, Lin Zhi's strength had greatly increased. Although he was still far from matching the Dark God who had fought for thousands of years, this time, he was only slightly at a disadvantage!

The boost in power from a single evolution for a Large Galaxy-level powerhouse was astonishing.

Not only Lin Zhi but also the two descendants who had been with him initially had undergone the second evolution successfully. This time, facing Large Galaxy-level Dark God believers, they actually fought on even terms!

This was simply unimaginable in the past, but it was happening right in front of all the warriors!

Not only were these individuals outstanding, but all the warriors under Lin Zhi's command had experienced significant power-ups. They had killed a large number of Dark God clan believers, and the final statistics were eye-opening.

Just among Lin Zhi's group, they had killed around ten million enemies, which was at least a 40% increase compared to usual!

Even the casualties were reduced by about half compared to before.

Seeing such a stark contrast in the data made the other border generals extremely puzzled.

"They must be on some kind of drug," one border general suspected.

If not, he couldn't think of any other reason why Lin Zhi's group suddenly became so formidable. According to the reports, Lin Zhi was only slightly at a disadvantage against the Dark God, which was completely different from his previous encounters where he was clearly at a disadvantage!

It wasn't just Lin Zhi; almost every Large Galaxy-level powerhouse in Lin Zhi's group was performing similarly.

They suspected that Lin Zhi's group had used some kind of enhancement drug. This suspicion wasn't unfounded.

Apart from this possibility, they couldn't come up with any other explanations.

Lin Zhi, upon hearing this, retorted, "You think I'm on drugs? Do you think I can achieve this level of enlightenment with Lord Lotus watching over me? Or do you think I can afford to make reckless moves that would harm the enemy but also damage myself?"

The other party couldn't respond to this. If they confirmed that Lin Lotus was aware of everything happening among his subordinates, that would imply that Lin Zhi's enhancement was legitimate, and not through any questionable means.

Such a situation had occurred before. An border general had deceived his subordinates into consuming forbidden drugs to quickly gain military achievements. The result was that they did achieve some success, but they were all left partially disabled.

The rulers of that territory were furious and publicly executed that border general and imposed sanctions on his Empire.

Taking forbidden drugs was no longer an option. They recalled that Lord Lotus had rewarded Lin Zhi's group for their military achievements, and they suspected that Lin Zhi's group had used these rewards to enhance their strength.

They hadn't considered that these rewards were basic benefits for joining the Red Alert Empire!
