Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

Maybe it was instructed by a star god!

According to the latest research by the Polymath Society, there is a 63% chance that Ash is a Pleasure Master, but at the same time there is a 28% chance that he is a Balance Master.

balanced!

This name made all the major forces feel a little confused.

Yes, balance exists between all things.

Although there is very little information about the Balance Star God, his power is almost everywhere, affecting the galaxy at all times.

It is said that this star god once took action because of the trade monopoly of the Interstellar Peace Company, which eventually triggered a border trade war. From the perspective of maintaining the stability of the galaxy in the long run, both the company and the immortal ship are actually "unbalanced".

From the perspective of destiny, the strength of the Balance Star God is definitely top-notch.

So now, in order to suppress the development of the company and the growth of Xianzhou's power, the Shurima Empire appeared. See, doesn't it make sense?

However, this speculation currently lacks substantial evidence, so the Society of Knowledge ranks it after joy.

In any case, based on this reason, even if the probability is very low, the Xianzhou Alliance must consider the consequences of a real all-in.

"The attack has stopped?"

Here.

Soon after Ash received the battle report from Cocolia, the Rofu fleet's attack stopped.

Seeing that the other party retreated far away, he did not pursue them, but asked Black Tower 001 to start checking the situation of the Queen.

Although this fortress is powerful, it is an antique after all, and no one thought too much about it when the Black Tower was put together. Who knew it would be used to attack the Immortal Boat?

So after half a month of fighting, the Queen of Black Tower actually suffered considerable damage, but it did not involve any important areas, so Ash ignored it. If serious damage really occurred, the Queen could still retain its core parts through "disintegration", and then use an acceleration device equipped with a super-imaginary energy level engine system to quickly leave the battlefield.

Truly achieve collapse and retreat.

"Cocolia, Ryan, you did a great job."

Ash looked at the two projections in front of him and said with undisguised admiration, "You have done much better than I expected. The Empire is proud of you."

"It's all thanks to the Warmaster. If she hadn't adjusted her tactics immediately, the First Regiment would have been wiped out ten days ago."

"I'm just commanding from the rear. The ones who actually charge into battle are the imperial soldiers." Cocolia shook her head slightly.

"Charging alone won't solve the problem. Our enemy is powerful and cunning," said Ryan. "The First Regiment is ready to sacrifice at any time, but we hope this sacrifice will truly bring glory and victory to the Empire."

Looking at the two people who were shirking credit from each other, Ash's mouth twitched slightly. Why did he feel that his authority as an emperor was challenged?

However, now there is only the First Regiment, and Cocolia is in charge of the command, which does make it easy for people like Ryan to respect her. When there are more and more regiments in the future, the burden on Cocolia will be greater.

So, things like the war commander’s birthday celebration are simply impossible to happen.

"My best choice was to bring you out of Yarilo VI, Cocolia. You were born to conquer the galaxy." Ash said with a smile.

"It was the Emperor who gave me this opportunity, otherwise I would have died in Yalilo long ago." Cocolia knew very well that if she had continued to be bewitched by the star core, not only her but also Beloberg would have been doomed.

How could she have the status she holds now, second only to the emperor and above everyone else? The most powerful Ascended Regiment in the empire must obey her orders.

So in Cocolia's heart, she is very grateful to and even admires Ash.

She always believed that the Shurima Empire would conquer the universe step by step under the leadership of Ash.

"That's your choice," Ash said with a faint smile. "Well, the war is far from over. The Immortal Ships will definitely have a backup plan... Cocolia, I will promptly replenish the First Regiment. Your mission is to lead the Imperial Army and continue the fight until there is no more Immortal Ship in this galaxy."

"Yes!"

"For the Emperor!"*2

The projections of the two people disappeared one after another.

......

In the following time, the battle between Shurima and the Immortal Boat entered a stalemate, Luofu was still entangled with the Queen of the Black Tower, Fang Hu and Huanlong's army of destruction would never be defeated, the company's fleet still had not made up its mind to go to war with Screw Gum, and Yaoqing's Qingqiu Army had returned home.

For a time, this dispute that attracted the attention of the entire galaxy finally became a contest between the two combined fleets of Zhu Ming and Yu Que and the imperial fleet led by Cocolia.

Despite the combined fleet's immense size, they failed to gain any advantage after several consecutive encounters. Instead, they were repeatedly and severely damaged by the Imperial Fleet's tactics of attack, harassment, and self-destructive landings. The emergence of self-destructive ships in particular wreaked havoc on the Immortal Ship Fleet. Within a single month, losses escalated to the point of 200 interstellar warships and over 200,000 Cloud Cavalry casualties.

This was certainly supported by the Ascended Legion and the Black Tower technology, but the name of the Imperial War Marshal Cocolia had also completely entered the eyes of all the major forces in the galaxy.

Before this, they only knew that Shurima had Emperor Ash, Black Tower and Ruan Mei. Later, Screw Gum joined. Cocolia? They didn't know them. After all, Shurima's Great Expedition was still just at the doorstep.

The huge losses suffered by the Xianzhou Alliance made their offensive increasingly weak. Anyone could see that if they continued to delay like this, it would only be a matter of time before the Xianzhou Alliance retreated. After all, those 'rich imps' had already come to their doorstep.

What's more important is that the Yaoqing Xianzhou, which used to be the main force against the Fengcuo forces, is now in an 'offline' state. It is reported that the Yaoqing Xianzhou has left its original galaxy and temporarily lost its whereabouts.

After all, the Qingqiu Army had wiped out the Chiming Clan, a fact that no matter how many mouths they spoke, they couldn't explain. Even if they didn't get labeled traitors, they would definitely be labeled as civil strife. And the Fox Clan had collectively risen up, and they wouldn't obey the Xianzhou Alliance's orders, so Feixiao had no choice but to take them away first.

But Yaoqing is better than Luofu in one respect, that is, the fox people were originally just a part of the Xianzhou Alliance. Since it is an alliance, there is a possibility of disbanding.

Unlike the bunch of immortal boat people in Luofu, where else can they go if they leave the alliance?

It has to be said that Yao Qing's sudden betrayal was a disaster for the Xianzhou Alliance and was the key factor that led to their current situation. If the war continues to drag on, not only will they have the problem of the remnants of Fengrao causing trouble, but they will also have no time to deal with the Yaoqing Xianzhou issue.

The longer you delay, the more difficult the problem will be to deal with.

It is impossible to let Xianzhou give up Yaoqing just like that. After all, it is one of the only six remaining Xianzhous, and the Qingqiu Army is the main representative of Xianzhou's external combat power.

Once the Qingqiu Army is gone, the battle against the Fengrao people will be quite troublesome.

In this situation, a new storm began to brew.

Immortal boat Luofu.

Jing Yuan sat in front of the conference table, looking at the other Xianzhou executives who were participating in the meeting through projection technology.

"...Achieving a formal partnership with the company is easy to say, but I'm afraid the company won't readily commit a large-scale force," he pondered. "Our current alliance with the company stems from its conflict with Shurima, but their situation is different from ours. The company can withdraw at any time, but we have no choice but to continue."

"So this requires a negotiation. The Marshal wants you, Jingyuan, to contact Tarafan of the company," one person said. "Given Ash's vindictive nature, if Shurima is allowed to fully develop, the threat to the Interstellar Peace Company will grow. They must be aware of this."

"But Screw Gumu is here too," Jing Yuan reminded.

The arrival of a genius often brings about a huge impact. The good news is that Screwgum has only allowed his mechanical army to participate in the war so far, and it is limited to entanglements with the company's fleet.

But if the company continues to invest manpower, it is not ruled out that Screwgum will come up with more things to support Shurima. Moreover, the company has already been showing goodwill to Screwgum, which makes it more difficult for the company to increase its bargaining chips.

To put it bluntly, a company is an economic entity that puts profit first and will not do anything that is not beneficial.

"We can make appropriate concessions. The Marshal will hand over this matter to you with full responsibility. Jing Yuan, it's up to you to decide how to negotiate."

Jing Yuan nodded slightly.

This is indeed a way to break the impasse at the moment, but it is like trying to get the skin of a tiger, and one must also be wary of the possibility of being bitten back at any time.

"Besides that, I think it's time to use the power of the sun disc to help us win this war." The speaker was Fang Hu Long Zun, also known by his honorific title 'Lord Yuan'.

Fanghu is an autonomous immortal ship of the Chiming Clan, and its strength is also the strongest among the many immortal ships of the Chiming Clan. Originally, Fanghu had been in a semi-closed state for recuperation due to the losses suffered in the Third Fengraomin War.

But there is no way. Now the three great dragon masters of the Chiming clan have been killed, and the dragon master of Luofu has shed his scales. It can be said that the Chiming clan has suffered heavy losses, and the Fanghu lineage can only stand up.

"The Alliance should have already determined the power of the Sun Disc, right?" Jing Yuan frowned. "Its power is too dangerous. I suggest destroying it, or at least sealing it away."

"Danger? I don't see any danger in power. The danger has always been those villains with bad intentions." Fanghu Dragon Lord snorted coldly. The three great Dragon Lords died in Luofu, and this matter is not over yet. However, Luofu is an important member of the Immortal Boat after all, and they have to fight with Shurima at this stage, so he doesn't want to pursue it too much.

But what made Fang Hu Longzun angry was that the fox people actually slaughtered the Chiming lineage on the Yaoqing Immortal Boat.

Their Chiming tribe suffered heavy losses one after another, and it was actually their own people who caused all of this.

"Why is the Shurima fleet so powerful? It's because they have those Ascended Warriors. Once they charge into our warships, it's a one-sided massacre! If we also send Ascended Warriors, the situation will immediately change."

Fang Hu Longzun's words made Generals Zhu Ming and Yu Que fall into deep thought.

Indeed, they clearly had a huge advantage, but they were always harmed by the Ascended Regiment's self-destruction to seize ships. If the warships were also equipped with Ascended Warriors, then even if the other side rushed up, they would not pose a threat.

"We must admit the gap between the Cloud Cavalry and the Ascended Warriors, Jing Yuan. Only by exploiting their weaknesses can we win the battle." Fang Hu Longzun continued.

Jing Yuan didn't say anything. Of course he understood this principle, but the method of making up for this weakness was too risky. He still felt that the existence of the sun disk was too strange and it was very likely a conspiracy of Ash.

"Who will ascend?" Huai Yan suddenly asked.

Fang Hu Long Zun said calmly: "Isn't the Sun Disc in Luofu? Just let everyone in Luofu ascend."

"No." Jing Yuan refused without hesitation, "The influence of the solar disk cannot continue to expand on Luofu."

He had finally managed to stabilize the situation. Once this power was completely released, Luofu would be doomed.

"If you don't come, and the fox people leave again, then only we, the Chiming Clan, will come." Fang Hu Longzun said, "I've read the news given to me by Yan Tingjun. After ascending, every Chiming Clan member has a dragon lord form, and their strength has been greatly enhanced. With us here, we will definitely frustrate the Shurima Ascendant Warband!"

"Mr. Yanyuan... think twice." Jing Yuan sighed, "I vote against it."

This matter can only be decided by a vote of all senior leaders.

The result was that supporters had one more vote than opponents.

If Luofu's people were allowed to ascend, there would be more opponents.

But Fang Hu... after all, it is the Chiming clan's business. Long Zun died or left, and the Chiming lineage of Yaoqing and Luofu was exterminated. In addition, the Chiming clan's reproduction problem has not been solved. One less death is one less death. It can be said that the current situation cannot be any worse.

It was already good enough that Fang Hu Long Zun didn't go crazy on the spot. Right now, the Chi Ming clan is in a semi-crazy state. Who would want to get into trouble for no reason?

The Chiming tribe had no choice but to take another gamble.

The bet was won, everyone was happy, the problems of the Chiming tribe were solved, and they could also help the Xianzhou conquer Shurima.

Lost the bet... With the previous successful examples of Zhu Ming Long Zun and the other two, Fang Hu Long Zun did not think he would lose. This was also the reason why the Chi Ming clan did not go crazy immediately even after suffering a double blow from Luo Fu and Yao Qing.

He must revitalize the Chiming Clan, ascend, and then return to the top!

......

While Xianzhou was busy in the meeting, Yaxiu was also busy.

The situation is still serious. Xianzhou has a huge advantage in terms of manpower and material resources. However, Ash's view is the same as Cocolia's. As long as they are not defeated in this war, they will win.

After all, how long can the Xianzhou Alliance's fleet last?

When their enemies can no longer help but emerge from the darkness, the entire fleet will sooner or later be caught in a dilemma.

I have to say that Jiaoqiu really gave him a big gift. The absence of the Qingqiu army, which was a powerful main force, gave Shurima a big relief. Otherwise, Ash might have to take the risk to pull the Zerg back.

But if that happens, once more insect swarms are attracted into Atles or even Griffith, the damage caused will be incalculable.

Now, he only needs to wait until the moment when the Immortal Boat is about to retreat, which will be the time for the Shurima Empire to counterattack.

For this day to come, Ash must be prepared.

zizi~

"I was just trying to contact you."

Yaxiu just opened the communication with Ruan Mei and was connected in less than a moment.

Ruan Mei said, "The gene seed has been successfully cultivated."

"Successful?" Yaxiu's eyes lit up. He had originally just wanted Ruan Mei to send a new batch of Atiya warriors over. "How's the situation?"

"It's pretty much as expected. I tried my best and successfully cultivated twenty genotypes. Then, by cloning and cultivating their gene seeds, I successfully cultivated their offspring. Ash, a new batch of Shurima Ascended Warriors is about to be born."

“Twenty???”

Ash's reaction was far less 'happy' than Ruan Mei had expected. She was slightly puzzled: "What's wrong? Twenty is already a lot. The rest are all defective. Even if they are cultivated, they are useless."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant... Never mind."

What should I say at this time?

Damn, the yellow-skinned guy is still chasing me!

"It's just a coincidence." Ash thought to himself. The biggest evidence is that he already has the First Regiment, plus the ones that follow, that's twenty-one regiments. If the fox people can join in, that's twenty-two. It's completely different.

Moreover, Warmaster Kokolia exists independently of the Ascended Chapter.

As smart as me.jpg

"How are they doing?"

"Very good. I am giving them basic education and ability tests."

"Thank you for your hard work, mother."

"...?"

"Send me a photo."

Soon, Ruan Mei sent the information of all twenty genomes to Ash.

I have to say, each of them is either handsome or beautiful, worthy of being the one who inherited his and Ruan Mei's genes.

There are ten men and ten women, and they look like adults, but they are not muscular. After all, Ash himself is not one of them. As for their condition after ascension, it is unclear.
