The Last Commander of the Red Alert-Chapter 852: They Have Given Us So Much! (5)
ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: The Last Commander of the Red Alert XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX Smite and the others consumed the fruits w
Smite and the others consumed the fruits without hesitation, and soon, they felt a noticeable increase in their strength.
A look of astonishment crossed their faces. While they had seen these fruits before, even on the frontlines, acquiring them required a significant amount of military merit. But Red Alert Empire simply handed them out generously. Their wealth and power were truly impressive!
"Red Alert Empire has assured us that as long as we join, the benefits will keep coming. I've been entrusted to handle our group on the frontlines, and they'll send someone specifically to coordinate with me. Any requests can be made," Smite explained.
They hadn't mentioned the Evolution Fluid they received. Smite understood that the team was most afraid of a lack of equality among its members. If they found out that the three of them had consumed such potent Evolution Fluid, it might create tension among the others.
Fortunately, only the three of them were aware of this, and they held the highest authority among this group. As long as they remained silent, no one would know.
Even the fruits they had just consumed had granted them a slight boost in power, which was a rare occurrence for them. Smite suddenly realized that he had no reason to oppose the offer. He saw that everyone around him was quite satisfied. The value of the military merit represented by these fruits alone would be enough for them to fight desperately on the frontlines one or two times.
Directly joining Red Alert Empire would bring such benefits. Who wouldn't want that?
Could other Empires offer this many perks?
Not to mention Large Galaxy-level Powerhouses, but who cared about Small Galaxy-level individuals like them?
They wouldn't receive any significant attention until they reached the Large Galaxy level.
"No, I still object!" Smite blurted out without thinking, and instantly, everyone's eyes were on him.
"Smite, do you have any valid reasons for opposing this?" someone asked.
"Red Alert Empire killed my descendants! I've become the last of my bloodline!" Smite yelled in despair.
"You're still alive, aren't you? Having another offspring isn't impossible, and with today's technology, creating a successor for you isn't difficult," Scarface reasoned calmly and coherently.
The problem was that Smite was the type of person who once he set his mind on something, it was hard to change his perspective.
"They didn't kill your descendants; of course, you'd say that!" Smite retorted angrily.
His words seemed to change the atmosphere in the room.
Scarface halted those who were preparing to intervene and looked at Smite with a composed expression. "I am the 78th emperor of Rota Empire, and all the emperors who came after me are my descendants. Dozens of them have died on the battlefield, and only fewer than five remain. Did I ever say anything about it?"
"And what about them? They started as ordinary Lower-ranked Soldiers, following me and my descendants into battle until now. How many descendants have they lost? Did they ever complain?"
"Or is it that only Smite's descendants have a noble destiny, surpassing all of us?"
Smite broke out in a cold sweat. Even he, in his foolishness, could sense the unfriendly glares from his comrades. They had all agreed to join Red Alert Empire, and he was the only one here causing a scene. Was he trying to prove his loyalty to Rota Empire? Did this not make it seem like they didn't care about Rota Empire at all?
"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was..." Smite attempted to explain.
However, Scarface didn't give him a chance to explain. He kicked Smite out with a single blow, leaving him critically injured.
For a Large Galaxy-level Powerhouse to kill a Small Galaxy-level was a simple task.
"I didn't kill you, but from now on, you are neither a part of Rota Empire nor Red Alert Empire. You're on your own," Scarface declared.
The individuals who had been standing behind Smite were drenched in cold sweat. They returned to the group without saying a word.
This was a lesson for the others - a deterrent.
Scarface's method was simple: eliminate the one causing the most trouble, and the rest would fall in line.
Even if it wasn't Smite, he would have found someone else to play the role of the scapegoat.
"Great Ancestor, there are still many fruits left to distribute to the soldiers on the frontlines. While they may not be as effective as these fruits, they are still valuable. These are rare Evolution Fruits in abundance, courtesy of Red Alert Empire," Number 13 Spy finally spoke up, playing the role of Red Alert Empire's advocate. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Hearing that even the soldiers on the frontlines would receive a share, they began to feel a sense of belonging to Red Alert Empire. In the past, Rota Empire had never shown any concern for them. Red Alert Empire, on the other hand, had given them a gift, signifying their goodwill.
Only Smite remained on the ground, wearing a skeptical expression.
Why, when Red Alert Empire was the true perpetrator, were the others eager to join?
They had less than 12 hours until their return.
For the first time, Scarface experienced many novel things here. In his era, apart from warships, there wasn't much that fascinated him.
Everyone was content, gradually considering themselves residents of Red Alert Empire. This feeling intensified when they received benefits as Red Alert Empire citizens. Their breath caught as they marveled at the incredible perks. Even Small Galaxy-level benefits were beyond their imagination, and the Large Galaxy-level perks were astonishing. They received various valuable items directly, and they almost felt like they were in a dream.
A rough estimation suggested that all these items, if converted to military merit, would be worth at least ten thousand.
Don't underestimate ten thousand military merits. Scarface, a seasoned Large Galaxy-level, had only a little over five thousand to his name, and he had lived for tens of thousands of years.
The others had even fewer military merits, some only had a few hundred.
They couldn't believe Red Alert Empire could afford such lavish benefits for its citizens. Wouldn't this strain the Empire's finances?
Of course, they didn't know that Su Chen was never short of resources.
In the final minute, the group stood together, waiting for Lord Lotus to teleport them back.
"Your Majesty, this is probably the last time we'll address you as such. From now on, we are all citizens of Red Alert Empire. We will carry this identity with pride, even outside. We won't bring shame to the Empire!" They had undergone a significant transformation in just ten days.
Yet, they had no regrets. Without coming here, they would never have received the treatment they were now enjoying.
Leaving aside everything else, the gifts from Red Alert Empire alone made them feel like they were willing to lay down their lives for their new comrades.
In short, they had been given so much!
