The hesitation about whether to rescue or not is not due to the Empire Core doubting Ren Zhong's loyalty, but rather the cost of rescuing the Red Blade Army is too high. Even as Ren Zhong is now the Red Blade Marquis and the newly appointed Chosen One, representing the Empire's future, it makes people unable to decide immediately.
Perhaps to completely annihilate the Red Blade Army, or perhaps the three parties feel that too much was revealed in the previous battle between the second-tier Mother Empress and the Red Blade Army. The Sublimers, Pilgrims, and Spirit Demon Race are considering that the Mechanical Empire is no fool, and their secret alliance is already exposed, so they chose not to hide. After all, the Mechanical Empire is already in a weak position; even if aware of the alliance, it can't do much, which is why the three parties revealed their most hidden assets.
