Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1140 440: The Assassins Revealed (Part 2)

Moments later, Zheng Tian turned off the projection with a troubled look and scratched her head, saying, "Boss, the biggest issue right now is that we don't know the enemy's troop strength."

"It's alright, I know it. I'll give you a rough idea."

Saying this, Ren Zhong picked up a pen and paper from the side, wrote a line, and pushed it towards Zheng Tian.

Gasp!

Looking at the line, Zheng Tian was speechless for a long time.

Putting down the paper, she first glanced at Ren Zhong with a somewhat puzzled look, but then hesitated to speak.

Ren Zhong laughed, "Say what you want to say, don't hold back."

"The enemy possesses highly mobile special forces with a vast range of movement in space. It's hard to lock them down, easy to get into attrition warfare, which means many will die. Even if we send Mengdu Group and Source Star Military Industry armies as cannon fodder, even if they all die it's far from enough. Eventually, our people will have to go all out. Boss, you mentioned the frozen Elder has agreed to preserve the seeds of Source Star civilization, is it necessary..."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "I can only tell you, it is necessary to fight. Moreover, Li Yang has some capabilities you're unaware of. I've calculated, it's just enough."

Zheng Tian knew some things but not the full picture.

Ren Zhong had obviously considered all she mentioned long ago.

Even now, he has ways to instantly stop all of it.

The method is simple, just by him rising up and personally taking care of Li Yang. Afterwards, the remaining twenty billion Source Star humans can still gain freedom, and Source Star civilization can continue for at least a few decades, up to a century. Those left on Source Star can also live reasonably well under Ren's Group's governance.

But the truth won't last, paper can't cover fire.

If Ren Zhong truly returns to the Empire with the nine frozen Elders, his identity as an Apostle is bound to be exposed.

The false imperial orders he transmitted would also be revealed.

Then, not only will he undoubtedly die, but Source Star civilization will inevitably be cleared by the Empire, an apocalypse unavoidable.

This is why Ren Zhong told Zheng Tian that the battle "must be fought."

The significance of this battle is not merely internal to Source Star; it's crucial to Ren Zhong's ability to smoothly enter the Empire and create an impact.

If Ren Zhong can also achieve success in the Empire, then those who have died on Source Star, and those about to die in the upcoming war, whether willingly or not, will be considered martyrs.

If Source Star is indeed the Origin Planet of humans located within the Sloan Great Wall, then the people here truly are the pioneers sacrificing blood in pursuit of human liberation.

Gazing through the porthole, Ren Zhong looked towards the distant Starfire Town, thinking silently, it will definitely succeed.

That evening, after being refitted and recharged, the Waterdrop Shuttle set off again, flying out of Source Star's atmosphere, heading towards Yuanjin Star.

This time, accompanying Ren Zhong were Hua Yuelan and Chen Qiao, currently the strongest programmers and hackers under Ren Zhong.

As the shuttle broke through the atmosphere, Ren Zhong turned to the side and spoke.

"When we reach the Tracker Spaceship later, neither of you may leave the Water Drop, nor peek around. I've told the frozen Elders you two are my puppets."

Hua Yuelan and Chen Qiao responded in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Compared to Ren Zhong's current calmness, the two appeared somewhat apprehensive.

Ren Zhong, this "Imperial Apostle," didn't care much about the frozen Elders, but Hua Yuelan and Chen Qiao, growing up on Source Star, held natural fear towards these Elders who stood above the Nine Major Groups.

Ren Zhong consoled, "There is no need to be nervous. Those people are not scary at all. In terms of talent, they might not even be one percent of you."

Hua Yuelan slightly raised an eyebrow, somewhat unsure, asked, "Then why were they chosen as Tracer administrators? Able to lead the development of a civilization?"

The young Chen Qiao also nodded repeatedly, "Exactly."

"Have you considered, perhaps it's just because the sperm and eggs forming their embryos happened to be in a cabinet of a certain imperial noble?"

The two took a moment to catch the jest in Ren Zhong's words, covering their mouths in amusement.

After a long while, regaining composure, Hua Yuelan sighed, "Indeed, it's just a good background, like those born as Seventh Level Citizens, able to inherit Ninth-Level authority as elite citizens. In contrast, people like me, without a good background, wanting to change fate through hard work, truly do something, is immensely difficult."
