Chapter 1514: Chapter 569: Returning in Glory, Unstoppable Might
Ren Zhong ultimately could not see Xixi (Marquis Zhenjiang) one last time before he left.
But it didn’t matter.
The true body of Marquis Zhenjiang had met him once, personally adorning him with the purple robe and letting Xixi, this avatar, accompany him for more than three months.
Although the time they spent together was not long, they had come to know and understand each other, becoming confidants.
Ren Zhong would remember the help from Marquis Zhenjiang, who also believed he was someone who reciprocates kindness.
Thus, even without a farewell, it would not hinder Ren Zhong from joining the Marquis Zhenjiang’s forces and fighting for him on the battlefield in the future.
Ren Zhong claimed to admire Marquis Zhenjiang’s dedication to his homeland, yet his true aim was to use real warfare to train his troops, creating a reasonable and legitimate environment to continually expand his own military might as Earl Red Blade.
Before entering the Star Gate, Ren Zhong first issued a series of orders to the Red Blade Military and Political Department, then piloted his fully restored and improved Fold Jump Battleship into the Star Gate.
As for Yang Misi’s leaf-shaped ship, it followed behind him.
A distance of over five hundred light years, three months of time, passed in an instant.
Ren Zhong’s Fold Jump Battleship lightly flew out of the Star Gate, reappearing in the three-dimensional universe.
Staff near the Star Gate Core initially scanned and monitored the incoming ship in accordance with management regulations, while verifying the ship’s identity against the list at the information agency under the Empire’s Transport Department.
Soon, the staff saw the striking words "First Combat Ship of the Red Peak Army Special Fleet" displayed prominently.
The staff instantly became energized.
It was the battleship of Ren Zhong, the newly appointed Sequence Chosen One and Earl Red Blade himself!
Not a flagship, but a warship, because Earl Red Blade was different from others.
He never commands from the rear, but always charges at the forefront personally.
As Ren Zhong’s warship passed, a previously unseen leaf-shaped ship quickly followed out.
If the staff hadn’t found the official registration number for the leaf-shaped ship at the Transport Department, confirming its affiliation with the Royal Academy of Sciences Special Fleet, they might have regarded it as an enemy ship.
Mere moments later, the news of Earl Red Blade’s return spread rapidly throughout the Nanxiang Star Cluster.
Nearly three years earlier, when Ren Zhong was officially appointed as a Sequence Chosen One and granted the title of Earl, it had caused considerable upheaval within the Nanxiang Star Cluster.
Yet, since he hadn’t returned, the Red Blade Clan maintained a relatively withdrawn stance, did not aggressively expand its influence, but rather gradually consolidated its base in the Shattered Star Ring, and according to the initial plan, began taking over 150 feudal star systems.
Thus, the turbulence that should have erupted from Ren Zhong’s ennoblement hadn’t immediately exploded forcefully, instead taking a stance of restraint.
The newly appointed Chief Officer of the Nanxiang Military and Political Center did not have Liu An’s profound background, and was happy for the situation; he couldn’t afford to offend anyone.
Everyone knew that the tensions between Nanxiang Marquis and Earl Red Blade would inevitably erupt sooner or later, bringing a new wave of upheaval to the Nanxiang Star Cluster, but the later it happened, the better prepared everyone would be.
But regardless of how much it is delayed, what needs to explode will eventually explode.
Earl Red Blade’s return was the clarion call for all.
Concealed undercurrents within the Nanxiang Star Cluster surged rapidly.
A large number of resource ships that had been held back launched from various piers, quickly heading toward one of Earl Red Blade’s 150 feudal star systems.
Applications for various cooperative negotiations surged like snowflakes toward the Red Peak Commerce Department.
The Red Peak Commerce Department looked at the conditions offered by many partners, considering the transported materials and accompanying engineering and construction personnel, and found it impossible to refuse their cooperation.
The materials and personnel prepared by the partners were highly targeted, potentially accelerating the construction progress of the feudal star systems by twenty years.
Additionally, the conditions offered in these applications were extremely favorable, almost as if sending money for free.
The intention behind these offers was nothing other than wanting to assist the Red Blade Clan in establishing a planet for free, simply wanting to make friends.
This meant that many established forces within the Nanxiang Star Cluster had long prepared to expand cooperation with Earl Red Blade, but were unsure of Earl Red Blade’s personal attitude and uncertain whether he would return to the Nanxiang Star Cluster.
After all, for someone like Ren Zhong, with various talents as a Sequence Chosen One, the growth status of his family forces wasn’t that important. Earl Red Blade could easily leverage scientific research pathways to proceed to the Empire Core, entering the high ranks of the Pyramid of Power. That would be the shortcut. As for family forces, they were of little concern, left to chance.
