The Last Commander of the Red Alert-Chapter 740: The Arrival of Heng!
This outcome did not surprise Su Chen. On the contrary, it was much better than he had anticipated.
Remarkably, 13% of the population was willing to stay behind, despite the clear warning in the announcement that the Red Alert Empire might not be able to defeat this enemy, and that remaining on Earth carried a high probability of death.
By Su Chen's estimates, if 5% had decided to stay, that would have been considered good.
"If we manage to defeat the Dream Shadow Clan, the benefits for those who stay should be increased by one level," he suggested.
"Mm, Alice has noted it down," came the reply.
As Earth rotated, the skies gradually darkened. Most of the Empire's inhabitants had been relocated during the day, and now Earth seemed oddly quiet.
Su Chen sat atop the Superweapon Oceanic Needle, the tallest structure within the Base, piercing the clouds. From this vantage point, he could easily gaze at the endless stars above.
"Indeed, the stars are most beautiful when viewed from Earth. You can't get this feeling anywhere else, right Yuwei?"
Leng Yuwei nodded slightly, quietly leaning against Su Chen, savoring this rare moment alone together.

At this time, all of the Empire's higher battle powers were concentrated in the main Base, not wishing to disturb their moment.
They knew that the enemy would appear tomorrow, but the exact time was unknown. Hence, they had to wait, from midnight to the next.
At the stroke of midnight in Su Chen's region, a profound black hole appeared on the periphery of the Solar System. But this was no black hole; it was a strange space channel.
Typically, space channels were brightly colored, seldom this deep shade of black.
After the emergence of the black channel, a figure stepped out. He appeared almost human, except for an eye closed at the center of his forehead.
His figure was slender, dressed in blue, and most notably, his clothes featured a deep V-neck!
"Yuan really was useless, dying in such a marginal star domain, wasting so much of my time. If not for the elders' directive, who would want to come to this forsaken place?"
He was Heng, the second member of the Dream Shadow Clan to arrive.
The previously slain member of the Dream Shadow Clan by Su Chen was named Yuan.
Yuan's death, the first in countless ages for the Dream Shadow Clan, was taken very seriously. Such an event had never happened before.
If possible, the elders of the Dream Shadow Clan would have liked to come and see the situation for themselves. However, the arrival of the Dream Shadow Clan was not to be taken lightly, and so they had sent the nearest clan member to quickly investigate.
It had taken a year, and for the Dream Shadow Clan, that year was agonizing.
"Heng, have you found the one who killed Yuan?" a voice suddenly echoed in Heng's mind.
Upon hearing this voice, the rebellious look on Heng's face instantly subsided, replaced with respect: "Elder, I have just arrived and will begin searching for Yuan's killer immediately."
"Good, capture them if possible, but kill them if necessary. If they could prevent Yuan from returning, they might possess some special ability. Be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, Elder."
His original expression returning, Heng didn't say anything more. Instead, he punched the black channel behind him, causing it to expand manyfold. What was initially only wide enough for one person now could allow a flagship to pass through.
Indeed, a massive dark silhouette emerged from the channel, a Cosmic Behemoth with a size comparable to the Moon!
This member of the Dream Shadow Clan had actually tamed a Cosmic Behemoth, an immensely large creature.
The Cosmic Behemoth, bear-like in appearance with fur covering its body, had paws that could likely flatten any mountain on Earth with a single swipe. Most terrifying were its blood-red eyes, filled with a lust for killing.
Upon closer inspection, it wasn't just the Cosmic Behemoth. Behind it followed many smaller bears, upon which warriors were mounted.
Surviving in the Universe indicated they all possessed at least the power of a Small Galaxy stage.
"It seems that person has noticed me. I didn't expect to encounter such advanced technological power in such a place. Interesting," Heng chuckled softly, waving his hand, and they all vanished.
In the next second, they reappeared in Earth's outer space.
The moment Heng appeared, the Spy Satellites of the star system detected them. Su Chen hadn't anticipated their arrival through a space channel, especially not a black one.
"The enemy has arrived."
Everyone appeared in Earth's outer space, facing these beings, and the sheer size of the Cosmic Behemoth was indeed intimidating.
"This is at least the power of a Large Galaxy fifth stage!" Alice made a prompt assessment, obviously referring to the bear-like Cosmic Behemoth.
The man standing atop the bear's head, if not surprisingly, was their enemy, a powerhouse from the Dream Shadow Clan.
"Strange, Alice can't discern any of his powers; he seems just like an ordinary person," Alice's voice reached the ears of Su Chen and others.
The fact that even Alice could not perceive his strength was alarming.
You see, while Alice lacked combat abilities, her role was irreplaceable in other aspects. She was one of Su Chen's subordinates, to whom he could grant enhancements.
Her enhancements were not in strength, but in auxiliary functions. For instance, she could deduce someone's approximate power level from the slightest trace of energy.
Yet, this ability failed for the first time against the suddenly emerged Dream Shadow Clan.
"It seems we have no choice but to fight. I didn't expect the Dream Shadow Clan to send more than one person," Su Chen felt somewhat disappointed.
What he hated most was fighting a boss while many minions surrounded it, which could easily lead to a group's annihilation.
The enemy seemed to hear Alice's voice, glancing over with arrogance in his tone: "Such a place possesses such advanced artificial intelligence. Apart from the Machine Clan, there's another race that dares to be so bold. Very good."
"Tell me, who killed Yuan? Oh yes, Yuan was from the Dream Shadow Clan, although I'm loath to admit it."
Silence followed, and Heng, licking his lips, showed a hint of irritation: "Didn't you hear me when I spoke?"
Boom!
The vacuum around them exploded suddenly. Fortunately, everyone was on guard, deploying various abilities to block the blast.
They thought this was the signal for the enemy's attack, but after the explosion, the enemy said, "How did such weaklings kill Yuan? I'm curious. Can you tell me?"
