Chapter 1627: Chapter 616: Freedom Raid, Empire’s Blade—Red Blade

Such a massive fusion missile, even if it were a star, would have exploded. Another spectacular detonation.

Yet, just like the fireworks master of the 21st century, behind the seemingly simple and sudden explosion lies a mountain of preset premises.

Among these premises are the hundreds of billions of fold-jump fusion three-phase missiles accumulated by tens of generations of the Red Blade Clan over thousands of years, providing the material basis for everything. Behind each detonated missile, whose explosion technology is relatively outdated yet whose flying technology is exceptionally advanced, shines the vast sweat of workers and people of the space nomadic civilization over dozens of generations.

Then, Ren Zhong’s insight and foresight into the Sublimators’ space biology allowed him to comprehend the Sublimators’ troop deployment in the Jade Plate Star Domain, accurately pinpointing the direction of the First Level Mother Empress’s movements, arrival time, battlefield posture, and defense area.

Duke Wenle, with a hint of concealed intrigue, provided a route that was surprisingly reliable, selecting the weak spot of the Sublimators in the Jade Plate Star Domain where conventional forces were quite inadequate, and the First Level Mother Empress had to hurry over to take command.

Next, five trillion advanced Red Blade soldiers and a total of two hundred trillion professional soldiers, along with the various war machines they operated, empowered the Red Blade Clan to implement their plan.

After merging with the auxiliary brain of the Source Star, Sun Ai’s computation power increased further, and she could directly convert this part of the auxiliary brain into a specialized module for three-dimensional coordinate calculations, enabling her to assist Ren Zhong in locating positions.

Hu Yang, replacing Han Zhixin as the Commander, devised a seemingly simple mindless breakout plan with hidden intentions of lethality.

Yujin, the most outstanding and sensitive gunsmith in human history on Source Star, became Ren Zhong’s deputy at this critical moment, using continuous firing to disrupt the First Level Mother Empress’s situational awareness, while the fierce battle at the Red Blade Army headquarters slightly overwhelmed the Sublimators. This combination completed the final piece of the puzzle, allowing the hundreds of billions of missiles to enter the Fold Jump Subspace without interference and then suddenly appear beside the First Level Mother Empress.

This marked the first time since the Three Domains War began that a First Level Mother Empress was shot down.

With the rise of the Red Blade Clan, what was once a lamb waiting to be slaughtered—the Mechanical Empire—suddenly showed its formidable fangs.

With the sudden demise of the First Level Mother Empress, the other lower-level Mother Empress ships hadn’t had time to take control, and the nearby space biomes, just seized of control, suddenly froze.

The Red Blade Army took advantage of the moment to continue speeding up.

The Starry Sky Red Blade Armor flickered three times, first suddenly appearing around the burning body of the First Level Mother Empress, then braving the intense energy shockwave, it continually folded-jumped back to the center of the Red Blade Army headquarters.

Just a brief swing around the First Level Mother Empress caused severe damage to the surface of the Starry Sky Red Blade Armor, with the force field shield completely dispersed, the claw-like structure heavily scarred, and many components melted. However, Ren Zhong wasn’t the least bit concerned, calmly instructing Sun Ai while looking at the video images transmitted from the war armor storage compartment with a smile: "Tell the Biological Institute to prepare, we’ve obtained the giant reproductive cells of the First Level Mother Empress."

...

As the speed increased, the acceleration of the Red Blade Army warships became increasingly difficult.

Previously, it took a full year for the Red Blade Army warships, equipped with new propulsion technology, to accelerate to 0.5 times the speed of light. However, later on, going from 0.5 to 0.9999 times the speed of light took a full eighty years.

This speed may not seem fast, far lesser than the ten times light speed within Fold Jump Subspace Channel, and pales in comparison with the Star Gate transmission, but it stirred up a tidal wave among the four major human branches.

This is the three-dimensional universe space.

Everyone knew that the speed limit of material state in the three-dimensional universe is infinitely close to the speed of light, but whether it was the Mechanical Empire or the other three forces, they had only "seen" this state in their imaginations, never daring to dream of truly achieving this speed.

Previously, Red Blade Army’s ships able to cruise at 0.416 times the speed of light had reached the pinnacle within the Mechanical Empire, comparable even to the telekinesis spaceships of the Spirit Demon Race among the other four human branches.

The entire Red Blade Army breaking through 0.5 times the speed of light had already started a new era.

As for the current state of constantly approaching 1 times the speed of light, it was simply horrifying.

Thus, in this three-dimensional universe space, although the Red Blade Army’s speed was not fast, the defensive line torn open by the Sublimators was left increasingly behind, eventually completely lost, leaving the Sublimator army trying to catch up far behind.

The Red Blade Army easily broke out of the encirclement, escaping cleanly without any ties in the midst of countless armies.

Next, a more terrifying thing happened.

In the imaging of the information stream scan, the Red Blade Army battleship array, after infinitely approaching the speed of light, had surfaces simultaneously glowing like nuclear fusion detonation. In the next moment, the space that once was filled with warships suddenly became empty, leaving only rings of varying sizes.

But these rings lasted less than a second before violently dissipating.

The Sublimator space biomes army, trying hard to catch up, all halted, hanging in place. It’s unclear if these creatures’ energy had run out or the Mother Empress Ship controlling them had been scared senseless.

The Jade Plate Star Domain had been thoroughly infiltrated by the Sublimators and managed to become a fortified iron bastion for the three-party alliance, with the Sublimators’ wise commanders confidently asserting there absolutely wasn’t a Fold Jump Subspace Channel there.

Faced with this phenomenon, there was only one explanation: this potential race, led by Ren Zhong, a Chosen One of the Mechanical Empire, had already mastered the era-defining technology—free fold-jump navigation.

This also meant that from now on, the Red Blade Army was no longer a mere ordinary force under the Mechanical Empire but had become a peerless assassin capable of freely coming and going within their own territory and upheaving their own homeland.

When the scale of war escalated to the level of the Four Nations War of the Ancient Disk Galaxy, this entire mighty civilization of nearly nine trillion people, the Red Blade Clan, could be seen as an individual assassin body.

What is worse, if the Red Blade Clan were to share this technology with the Mechanical Empire, the balance of power among the four might shift.

Once it fully comprehends and implements this new technology, the originally weakest Mechanical Empire could leap to become the strongest Star Country.

Compared to the shock, astonishment, and fear of the three-party alliance, there was national jubilation within the Mechanical Empire.

Along with super-range information stream telescopes, the Royal Academy of Sciences also witnessed the battlefield situation and saw the stunning brilliance the Red Blade Army erupted in an instant.

If the Red Blade Army follows the route provided by Duke Wenle and completes the return of the entire clan, and then shares the technology, the day of sounding the counterattack horn is just around the corner.

This Red Blade Marquis and the Red Blade Clan are indeed a fine blade, worthy of being the Empire’s edge.

Ren Zhong chose this name well back then.
