The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 469: Impromptu Act!

The two exchanged glances, unsure of how to proceed. The script didn't have this kind of scenario planned, after all.

"Could it be that the Ghost Clan thinks our numbers are too few, and they want to wait until we have more people before making a move?" Zheng Ye communicated through voice transmission.

"It's a possibility. If they expose themselves just for the two of us, then it seems like Ghost Clan has lost its mind. It looks like our roles are diminishing. We should report the situation here to the Marshal to prevent Ghost Clan from discovering us," Zheng Ye suggested.

To avoid detection by the Ghost Clan, the Human elites were hiding several tens of kilometers away. With their speed, they could arrive here quickly.

"Ghost Clan still hasn't made a move?" The Marshal frowned upon receiving the message. This was not according to the plan.

During the execution of an operation, the last thing you wanted was a change in the plan. What seemed like a minor alteration could lead to the entire plan falling apart.

As a Marshal, indecisiveness was a grave mistake!

He quickly issued new orders, instructing a dozen or so Human elites to go back and create a deceptive illusion to confuse the Ghost Clan.

Before long, the Ghost Clan noticed that there were a dozen or so Humans in the sky. These Humans were all powerful, but Ghost Clan believed they were stronger. They couldn't contain their excitement, constantly communicating with the Ninth-tier Ghost Clan, requesting a battle.

The Ninth-tier Ghost Clan remained silent, calmly observing the Humans' reactions. With their numbers, dealing with these Humans was no problem at all. However, it was not the right time to act. Ghost Master had said that they should only strike when the Humans entered the trap below, preferably after they had turned against each other.

The Humans put on a grand show from above, but not a single Ghost Clan member appeared. This left them feeling somewhat disappointed; without an audience, there was no soul in the performance.

"What should we do? The Ghost Clan isn't taking the bait. Should we charge in and fight them?" suggested one Human elite.

"No, we can't disrupt the Marshal's plan. Since they're not taking the bait, let's go check out the trap below. If we fall into the trap, I don't believe the Ghost Clan won't show up," another Human elite suggested.

The dozen or so Human elites pretended to stop the fight, mutually agreeing to obtain the Star Core first and then decide its ownership later.

Their performance was impeccable in their eyes.

They gave themselves a perfect score, but in the eyes of the Ghost Clan, this performance was a complete failure.

If it weren't for Ghost Master's orders, they would have acted already.ReAd lat𝙚St chapters at nôv(𝒆)lbin.co/m Only

The group descended from the sky and arrived on the ground, finding themselves in a ruin with an ancient atmosphere, quite common on Yan Yun Star. After all, Yan Yun Star was a planet with a history of tens of thousands of years, vastly different from Earth.

Many hidden places could still contain relics of ancient times, and ruins were just one common type.

"We must find the Star Core. Whoever finds it should present it to the Marshal, and he will reward us generously!" The person speaking was clearly a loyalist of the Marshal.

The others agreed outwardly but had their own ulterior motives. This Star Core could potentially help them break through to become Small Galaxy-level experts, a chance they couldn't pass up. While Marshal was undoubtedly powerful, his age was a disadvantage, especially compared to their youth.

The group split into pairs, pretending to search for the Star Core. From the beginning, they didn't believe that the Ghost Clan would actually produce the Star Core, considering how precious it was.

But after about fifteen minutes, a beam of light shone in the sky, attracting everyone's attention. It was a spherical object emitting a faint green glow, resembling an emerald, suspended in mid-air, shining brightly.

"Star Core!" The Human elites were astonished. They hadn't dreamed that the Star Core would actually be here. The plan had never mentioned the Star Core, and they had never believed it would be present.

The person closest to the Star Core was Zheng Ye, who had been playing the rival role with another Human elite. They exchanged glances and then flew madly towards the Star Core. Unable to resist the temptation of the Star Core, they couldn't hold back.

"This is mine!" Upon seeing the Star Core, two individuals who had previously had a good relationship suddenly turned hostile, each trying to claim the Star Core.

"Ha ha, the Star Core is mine!" In the end, Zheng Ye had the upper hand and grabbed the Star Core.

The commotion naturally caught the attention of those around them. They gathered around, their eyes burning with desire as they looked at the Star Core in Zheng Ye's hand.

"Zheng Ye, hand over the Star Core. It's not something you can possess," one Human elite spoke up.

The others shared the same sentiment. Without the Star Core, they could let it go, but now that it was right in front of them, they could clearly sense the immense power within, a key to becoming Small Galaxy-level experts.

Zheng Ye sneered, "I may not have the qualification, but do you?"

Upon hearing the word 'Marshal,' the others fell silent. The Marshal was a Ninth-level Peak expert, just one step away from becoming a Small Galaxy-level expert. However, this was a difficult level to break through, even in the history of Yan Yun Star, there weren't many like him.

Zheng Ye had no choice but to give in. He wanted to keep the Star Core, but he knew he couldn't do it with his own strength. Moreover, there were Ghost Clan members lurking nearby. If they started an internal conflict, it would undoubtedly affect the Marshal's plan. At that point, they might not even be able to save their lives, let alone the Star Core.

The other Human elites also calmed down, realizing the current situation wasn't favorable. This wasn't a good place to be.

"Now that we have the Star Core, let's go back," one Human elite suggested.

Of course, he said this on purpose, not believing that the Ghost Clan would just let them leave so easily.

Sure enough, the next moment, more than twenty figures surrounded them, the Ghost Clan members who had been hiding all along.

The Human elites' expressions changed, but they were acting. They couldn't afford to show no reaction at all; that would be too fake.

"Ha ha, the Ghost Clan has finally taken the bait. I can't wait to see the expressions on their faces when the Marshal comes out with his people," one Human elite laughed through voice transmission.

The other Human elites had the same thoughts. They appeared shocked on the surface, secretly mocking the Ghost Clan. This time, the Humans would surely win!

"How did you... how did you end up here?" This Human elite's acting skills were excellent. He maintained a semblance of composure on the surface but appeared quite flustered inside, impressively displaying his inner turmoil. Su Chen couldn't help but applaud him silently.

The Ninth-tier Ghost Clan member standing at the front grinned, "This place was originally a trap set to lure you in. So, how could we not be here?" (To be continued)
