Chapter 1592: Chapter 596: Infinite Troops, Infinite Energy, Infinite Materials, Stars and Moon Aloft

Ren Zhong’s disc-shaped flagship had long since transformed.

The edge of the disc curled up, taking on the appearance of a rolled pancake.

On the inner side of the curled part, a large number of plasma vortices were spraying backward, propelling this alien spaceship to change direction, advance, and accelerate continually in space.

From time to time, this alien spaceship would disappear into thin air, suddenly reappear in the distance, and then release a small object.

This small object flew at an extremely fast speed and was very stealthy. It often drifted near some larger ascendant combat units, namely the surface of large space creatures, but did not explode, only clung tightly to them.

No matter how secretive the creatures’ movements were, they could not escape the clinging of these small objects.

Then, perhaps after several hours, or maybe after three to five days, these space creatures with the little things attached would be struck by beams or high-speed missiles coming from afar, decisively annihilating them.

Ren Zhong changed his combat style, no longer recklessly engaging in fierce face-to-face battles with the giant ship as he did before, resembling a warrior.

Instead, he became more like an assassin and scout, cunningly weaving through the enemy formations, using recently developed small locators with strong anti-jamming capabilities to mark these giant space creatures of the Ascendants amidst the vast expanse of space, guiding long-range giant missiles and distant convergence ray cannons to eliminate enemy troops one by one.

Compared to his past brute force approach, Ren Zhong’s new battle tactic was much safer, rarely putting himself in danger.

Thanks to his short-range jump capability, he could always swiftly escape before being surrounded.

The reason for changing tactics was not a newfound sense of self-importance or fear of death, but rather that the times had changed, as had the enemies he faced.

The idea of maneuvering a giant ship to "cut down" was not impossible, but these giant creatures were each tougher than the last and possessed astonishing self-healing abilities, making it both time-consuming and energy-draining for the battleship to bring one down.

If Ren Zhong kept cutting, the warship was likely to wear out. If it wore out, it would be surrounded, and once surrounded, it would be done for.

Therefore, to ensure the survival of the Red Blade Clan, the bravest warrior of the Mechanical Empire decided to become a rogue, leaving marks of "XX was here" everywhere.

It must be said that his rogue combat tactics were extremely effective.

No matter how the Ascendants tried to encircle and block him, they were helpless as he always managed to escape effortlessly.

Even the Red Blade Army following far behind him didn’t need to engage at close range, able to breach the defensive lines with low-cost, safer long-range attacks consistently.

In the end, seeing no end in sight with their current tactics, the Ascendants abandoned chasing Ren Zhong, gathering their forces to attempt a forced breach of the Red Blade Army’s formations.

Alas, the Red Blade Army was not a typical Imperial Fleet; not only were they exceptionally tenacious, but they also expertly countered the numerous tactics mastered by the Ascendants.

The Ascendants’ multiple attempts to break through ended in failure, while many previously scattered Imperial Battleships, once fleeing and wandering in nearby areas, found a new backbone, converging together to join the Red Blade Army’s lines, supplementing the troops.

Unconsciously, it truly carved out a gap deep within the enemy’s formations, penetrating fiercely. Ren Zhong was getting closer to the Ascendants’ established Fold Jump Subspace Channel.

Afterward, seeing the enemy reinforcements aggressively pushing forward, the Ascendants hurriedly redeployed forces, determined to stop the Red Blade Army in its tracks.

This redeployment indeed halted the forward momentum of the Red Blade Army, but it also left other areas under-defended. The Marquis Zhenjiang, remotely commanding the overall situation, immediately seized this opening, started gathering forces, and dispatched new troops at top speed, deploying a large Reserve Army to this critical yet overly extended battle line for a relentless pursuit and full-scale attack.

For a moment, the Mechanical Empire’s defensive line, once precarious due to the quantum catastrophe, slightly stabilized and even showed signs of counterattack.

In this favorable situation, Ren Zhong became increasingly anxious, maneuvering his disc ship deeper alone, demanding that the Red Blade Army following him not rest, smashing and chiseling through the blocking Ascendant forces ahead with sheer force, determined to break through quickly.

With the Earl himself leading the charge on the frontlines, the Red Blade Army following him naturally were all fearless, utilizing every method available, each pushing their intensity of work to the maximum.
