Chapter 1568: Chapter 587: A Warrior Dies for One Who Understands Him (Part 3)

Thanks to the cooperation of the Nanxiang Military and Political Center, in just a few months, over two thousand planet systems within the Nanxiang Star Cluster have been permitted through the leasing act, becoming unofficial territories of the Red Blade Clan.

Afterwards, the factories within these star systems were seized and repurposed, and resources were taken over.

The nobles and business owners who sold off their properties were not left shortchanged, as they received a substantial amount of Contribution Points.

All they needed to give up was the rights to their fiefdoms and the twenty-year usage control of their star systems.

Subsequently, under the comprehensive planning of Han Zhixin and the meticulous maneuvers of Sun Ai, the now enormous Red Peak Earl Mansion decisively clenched its fist, transforming into an organic whole, mobilizing every ounce of productivity under civilization, and initiated the Great Bursting Soldiers Plan.

Frames of warships were crafted from one space dock after another, followed by being towed to Liao Yuan Star System and many other productive star systems.

At these star systems, one component and equipment after another were installed, converting batches of raw materials into finished warships.

Some warships were equipped with highly intelligent devices that required minimal operating personnel, or even none at all to function.

Other warships were typically manned ships.

Numerous prepared Red Blade Warriors emerged like a tide, swiftly entering brand new warships, and after quick training exercises, they immediately became ready combat forces.

Defensive, offensive, comprehensive, supply, repair, and various types of warships rapidly formed new fleets and were incorporated into the Red Blade Army.

Under the Red Blade Army, the First Army, Second Army, and even the Fifty-fourth Army rapidly displayed their formation structure.

A total outline of fifty-four army groups emerged along with the appearance of fifty-four fortress-level flagships, presenting a complete organizational framework.

Based on the Red Blade Army’s organizational specifications, it could be roughly estimated that the eventual size of the army groups would be seven times the massive scale accumulated by Marquis Zhenjiang Mansion over fifty thousand years.

Ren Zhong previously planned, needing at least one trillion soldiers, but now it seems the final number of soldiers could reach 1.5 trillion.

But that’s not the end.

Apart from the exceedingly large Red Blade Army combat component, whole factories originally built on fiefdoms’ planet surfaces rose into space, then joined with the existing space stations, transforming into large megastructure production bases capable of active movement.

Even those who were mentally prepared in Marquis Zhenjiang Mansion were taken aback.

Having inherited his elder brother’s authority, Bourbon Louis was also intimidated by the Red Blade Clan’s suddenly demonstrated astonishing production capacity.

Within the Empire Core, some immediately raised warnings about it, claiming that the potential size of the Red Blade Earl’s forces had already surpassed the Earl’s authority limit and needed appropriate restrictions.

However, this warning eventually sank like a stone in the sea, causing little ripple.

At the crucial moment, the special investigation team that had been tracking Ren Zhong stood up and vouched for him.

At the same time, Marquis Zhenjiang Mansion, as the de facto controller of the Far Border Star Domain and directly responsible manager of Red Peak Earl Mansion, issued a war alert to the Empire’s high command.

The think tank of Marquis Zhenjiang Mansion stated they had conclusive evidence that the Ascendants would launch a massive multi-star-domain level comprehensive war within fifty years.

Instead of suppressing the Red Peak Earl Mansion’s rapid expansion of forces at this time, it should be commended and encouraged.

No matter how outsiders viewed it, during this period, there was one person and one group in utter misery.

That was Liu An and his Nanxiang’s Earldom.

Liu An felt like he’d never be alright in his life.

He had suffered too much at the hands of the Red Blade Clan.

He lost a lot of battle achievements, assets, and part of his territory due to a personal conflict with Ren Zhong.

But that’s still bearable.

Later, to cooperate with Duke Wenle Mansion’s actions, he willingly lowered his head, yet unknowingly relinquished a lot of interests.

When the Red Blade Clan faced economic crisis, Liu An originally wanted to seize the opportunity to take advantage, to save himself.

But unfortunately, with the sudden emergence of three major technologies, Liu An’s tourniquet snapped immediately.

Next, he shamelessly attempted to "repair old ties" with Ren Zhong, only to receive the response "Get lost, brother."

When the Red Blade Clan’s Governor changed, Liu An thought the opportunity had come, and that Nanxiang’s Earldom could finally catch a breath.

Unexpectedly, the newly ascended Han Zhixin turned out to be even more ruthless than Jin Simin.

Now, the Red Blade Clan had pushed the Matthew Effect to the extreme, almost draining all the fluid resources within the Nanxiang Star Cluster.

The once invincible local emperor, Nanxiang’s Earldom, has nearly become an isolated island.

How tragic!
