Chapter 1405: Chapter 529: Second Expedition_3

But later, Ren Zhong led the Red Blade Science Academy to create a miracle, quickly transforming planets, and deploying Red Blade clan members to accept employment abroad. Liu An thought the Red Blade clan’s previous extermination of demon kin and fourth-class Mother Empress might have been due to luck, as fundamentally, they are a human branch excelling in scientific research and production.

Afterwards, Zheng Tian’s expedition team caught him off guard, leading him to doubt his judgment, yet he felt it might only be the stealth coating and technical edge providing the Red Blade expedition team with a military advantage, not affecting the evaluation of racial inclinations.

But now, he did not understand.

No matter how baffled Liu An was over there, Ren Zhong, sitting solemnly in the command ship, was staring at the projection screen with a slightly tense expression.

On the projection screen, four images were simultaneously split and displayed, each showcasing simulated battlefield scenarios.

The final selection for the Second Expeditionary Fleet’s Commander was underway.

After half a month of competition, the former Starfire Army Second Army’s Army Chief Guo Denghuai, the former chief of Nangao Town’s wildlings Yuan Qinh, the former High Rank Gunsmith Song Mu’en’s adopted son Song Qingqiao, and the junior descendant from Red Blade Military Academy, Ying Hao’s fifth-generation great-grandson Ying Zhenshan, stood out and entered the final showdown.

At this moment, these four individuals were deploying troops and strategizing in Sun Ai’s simulated battlefield, facing a simulated enemy with ten times the forces, with the eventual victor given a chance to wield great power.

Actually, according to Jin Simin and others, they hoped Ren Zhong would personally take command.

But this time Ren Zhong had a different consideration.

In due course, he feared that he would not have the leisure to attend to other matters, would only focus on self-management with all his strength, and could no longer overlook the whole as a true commander.

Moreover, he was always aware that while he was intelligent, he had an inherent shortcoming: an excessive compassion that couldn’t be changed, making him unsuitable as a supreme commander of all troops, and instead better off with specialized roles where the capable occupy the positions.

Now, with Zheng Tian’s combat manuals being fully disseminated in the generals’ class at Red Blade Military Academy, the old core and the new talents are gradually evolving and emerging.

Not to mention the four individuals entering the finals, simply discussing the sixteen people in the previous round of elimination, each one had commanding talents not inferior to Zheng Tian, just lacking experience, but overall outclassed him significantly.

Ren Zhong gradually recognized that it was time to further delegate authority.

Of course, obtaining such individuals was not merely his good fortune, nor were the Red Blade clan inherently superior in battle command. Every achievement has a reason, and today’s harvest fundamentally originated from sixty years of travel and countless battles over the century, fostering martial spirit, along with relentless military training and numerous other factors combined to forge the final results.

Unexpectedly, despite the participation of two veteran generals, the eventual victor turned out to be Ying Zhenshan, who was only thirty years old.

This Ying Zhenshan bears a three to four tenths resemblance in facial features to Ying Hao back in the day, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, looking like a hero.

Though he is very young, his fame within Red Blade Star is not insignificant.

Thirty years ago, right after graduating from military school, Ying Zhenshan secretly followed a transport ship to the Shattered Star Ring frontline.

Over thirty years, Ying Zhenshan rose from a small captain, participating in over a hundred battles within the Shattered Star Ring, each battle winning with extraordinary achievements, far from a fresh graduate bookworm, but rather an experienced commander with many victories.

When the Shattered Star Ring stabilized, Ying Zhenshan returned to the military school, re-studied Zheng Tian’s combat manuals, repeatedly posed new insights, gaining admiration, and despite his biological age being merely thirty, was selected as a professor at the Military Academy, earning great repute.

After the Commander was selected, Ren Zhong conducted a brief awarding ceremony, then issued an order, and the army immediately set off, majestically heading straight for the Fold Jump Subspace Channel.

Unlike many previous clandestine departures, this time, the Second Expeditionary Fleet was openly displayed in its entirety.

Of course, publicly, Ren Zhong portrayed this fleet as a transport team, as he was going to the Shattered Star Ring for construction.

Based on the Subspace Channel exit selected by the Second Expeditionary Army, this Fold Jump navigation would last 13 months.

Upon arrival, this fleet would reach the outer extension of the main Star Zone in the Nanxiang Star Cluster, then proceed to the Shattered Star Ring’s central Golden Dog Pirate Group residing Star Zone.

Even if Ren Zhong did some confidentiality work, this route wasn’t difficult to guess, easily discernable with simple calculation.

Meanwhile, on the other side, under Liu An’s life-risking gambit, Grue Augustus utilized the Pakuiao Pirate Group as a breakthrough point, completing the allure of the Five Elder Clan ahead of schedule.

Liu An offered an irresistibly tempting condition.

Once the Five Elder Clan managed to deal with Ren Zhong, he would, after becoming a Marquis, reintegrate the Shattered Star Ring into the Empire system, simultaneously enfeoffing the Five Elder Clan as aristocratic Viscount families, and split the Shattered Star Ring into five parts, directly allocating them as their territories.
