The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Su Chen was utterly perplexed by Les's behavior.

Les had sneaked into the room, looking rather disreputable as he stealthily approached the Heart Demon Clan. However, everything he said could be heard by everyone in the Command Room.

Even the Heart Demon Clan seemed taken aback. Was this guy out of his mind?

"Su Yi, what did you show him exactly?" Su Chen couldn't help but inquire secretly.

"Commander, I showed him various videos from before, including movies and variety shows. Lately, he's become obsessed with a program called 'Wilderness Survival,'" Su Yi replied, equally exasperated. He hadn't expected Les to react this way after watching those things.

Su Chen's eye twitched. Wasn't that Bear Grylls' show? He hadn't expected to find a Bear Grylls in this world, but it seemed that this world's Bear Grylls hadn't survived the Apocalypse.

The Heart Demon Clan looked at Les and initially thought of him as an ordinary human with a slightly unusual appearance, nothing particularly special.

But soon, it noticed something familiar about this human's appearance.

"Wait a minute, isn't this the look of Protoss Death Reaper Les? How does a human look exactly like him?" the Heart Demon Clan exclaimed in shock.

Back during the war between the Winged Clan and the Protoss, the Heart Demon Clan had played a crucial role. Without its interference in the Winged Clan's rear, the Protoss might have been defeated. It had a deep impression of some of the more famous individuals among the Protoss, including Death Reaper Les, who had earned notoriety for killing numerous Winged Clan members on the battlefield.

However, at the time, its focus had been on destroying the Winged Clan, and it hadn't considered dealing with Death Reaper Les.

"You're mistaken; I don't just look like Les; I am Death Reaper Les," Les declared arrogantly, looking down his nose at the Heart Demon Clan.

"He's definitely a Protoss, not just a human. Don't try to deceive me!" the Heart Demon Clan retorted angrily.

"He is indeed Death Reaper Les. However, at present, he only retains consciousness; I prepared his body," Su Chen's voice explained.

The Heart Demon Clan was left speechless. It hadn't expected to encounter a Protoss here, let alone a fallen one.

For a moment, the Heart Demon Clan felt a strange sense of camaraderie.

"Did you call me over just to have me look at this Heart Demon Clan? While Heart Demon Clans are rare, the Protoss had captured a few back in the day," Les said dismissively, not particularly interested in the Heart Demon Clan.

"It's not an ordinary Heart Demon Clan. In the past, the Winged Clan almost met its end at its hands," Su Chen added.

Les raised an incredulous eyebrow. A mere Heart Demon Clan nearly wiped out the Winged Clan, which was on par with the Protoss? He found it hard to believe. Having fought against the Winged Clan, he knew that even their formidable members had posed a significant challenge.

"It knows more about the Winged Clan than anyone else. I plan to strike a deal with it, and I brought you here to showcase my abilities and strength to it," Su Chen explained calmly.

Les's expression twitched. He had been called here just for a show?

When had Protoss Death Reapers become so cheap?

Before Les could react, Su Chen silenced him with a single sentence, "I'll give you a computer, but it can only access the local network."

"Deal!" Les immediately abandoned his pride. As a Protoss with the key and a computer, he wouldn't refuse anything. This might be an outdated piece of technology that had been obsolete for many years, but for him now, it was more enticing than a television.

"Heart Demon Clan, you should know what I need," Su Chen said with a calm gaze fixed on the Heart Demon Clan.

The Heart Demon Clan remained silent for a moment before responding, "You need all the information about the Winged Clan, am I correct?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen didn't react, but the other Super Soldiers' expressions grew more intense.

Commander couldn't possibly be interested in gathering intelligence on a race he had no prior interest in. The only plausible explanation was that they might be planning a large-scale attack on the Winged Clan!

But soon, they realized a critical point: while they could just about handle the Winged Clan that had come here this time, once they ventured into the Winged Clan's homeworld via the Space Channel, the powerful beings there would undoubtedly not spare them. Wasn't this action too risky?

Su Chen was unaware that his casual remark had led his subordinates to come up with numerous speculations.

"You are the Heart Demon Clan born from the Winged Clan. Your knowledge of the Winged Clan is second only to the Winged Clan's homeworld. If you are willing to provide information about the Winged Clan, I can consider reducing your sentence," Su Chen stated.

"Reducing my sentence? What sentence?" Heart Demon Clan asked, puzzled.

With just a glance from Su Chen, Tanya stepped forward, holding a piece of paper and began reciting, "The Heart Demon Clan has violated six laws of the Red Alert Empire. The first count is incitement, urging the Eastern Emperor's wife to engage in actions harmful to humanity, resulting in significant consequences... The second count..."

The charges went on for quite some time, and it ended with a summary, "According to Imperial Law, the Heart Demon Clan is sentenced to imprisonment for 1,740 years, effective immediately!"

The Heart Demon Clan was left in shock. Ten thousand years might not mean much to it, but the problem was that it wasn't part of the Red Alert Empire. Why should it accept this sentence?

"I object!" the Heart Demon Clan shouted.

"Les, I'm entrusting the Heart Demon Clan to you. As long as it doesn't die, you can do whatever you want with it," Su Chen declared.

"Really?" Les's eyes lit up with excitement. He found the Heart Demon Clan quite intriguing. The few Heart Demon Clan members he had encountered previously hadn't been this interesting.

Seeing Les so excited, the Heart Demon Clan trembled in fear. "I'm willing to provide information about the Winged Clan. What do you want to know?"

"Is the Space Channel one-way or two-way?" Su Chen asked.

"It's definitely two-way; otherwise, how would they return?" the Heart Demon Clan replied.

"Will the Winged Clan open a second Space Channel?" This was the most concerning issue for Su Chen.

"Don't worry, within the scope of a planet, only one Space Channel can exist. Once the channel is formed, its upper limit is fixed and cannot be increased further."

Knowing that the Winged Clan couldn't continue to send powerful members through the Space Channel, a slight smile tugged at Su Chen's lips. This meant they could use this Space Channel as a testing ground for Earth Transcendents.

"Can the Eastern Emperor's wife command the Winged Clan at all times?"

"As long as the consciousness of the Winged Clan's homeworld doesn't descend, her permissions supersede all the Winged Clan. You can rest assured of that."

Su Chen then asked a few more questions, and the Heart Demon Clan truly spilled everything it knew. It seemed it would rather reveal information than become Les's plaything.

Les looked at the Heart Demon Clan regretfully. This was a treasure trove. He knew that the Heart Demon Clan's knowledge was shared among them all. Catching one Heart Demon Clan member might lead to gaining knowledge from all of them.

Unfortunately, making the Heart Demon Clan talk was a daunting task. None of the Heart Demon Clan members captured by the Protoss had been cooperative.

"So, one final question, can weapons be transported through the Space Channel?" Heart Demon Clan hesitated and asked, "What do you intend to do?" (To be continued...)
