Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

The reason for looking for the location of the fairy boat is that we plan to throw the swarm of insects directly there.

"Amazing," Ash praised. "You've found all this...but what about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that the guy I fought with last time was recruited by Xianzhou... well, it's not really a recruitment, it's more of a collaboration."

"Which one?...Oh, the one from the genius club."

"Correct."

"You don't look worried."

Heita put down his coffee, turned slightly towards Ash, put his arms around his neck, and raised his white lips slightly, "That's a genius."

"What's there to worry about? He's just a genius, like everyone else." The black tower's eyes were so close, shining like stars.

The influence of a genius is huge.

However, Ash didn't care, or it could be said that this was expected. Although the Empire won the previous battle between the Empire and the Xianzhou Alliance, that was more because it took advantage of the internal problems of the Xianzhou Alliance and the initial psychological state of the Xianzhou on this matter.

They simply didn't think that a small empire could defeat them.

Now, although the Chiming tribe and the fox people are gone, the foundation of the Immortal Boat is still there. Sometimes a change in attitude can have a crucial impact on the situation.

Then, the Immortal Boat, which completely regards Shurima as an enemy, will naturally try every means to gather strength. As the empire develops, the enemy also develops. Ash will never underestimate any enemy.

Enemy, fuck, enemy, fight!

Just in case of any accidents, let’s wipe out the ten clans first!

"By the way, where is Ruan Mei? It's been so long, right? She should come out now?" Ya Xiu asked.

"Why, do you really want her to come back?" Heita let go of Ash and leaned back on the sofa. "From what I know about her, she will probably come out to test the results of the experiment only when all the Primarchs reveal their identities, that is, when they return to the Empire... Before that, don't think too much about it."

Until now, Ash is not sure whether the so-called attacker actually exists. If it is really Polka from the Genius Club, with the other party's ability, he has been hiding for two years... maybe it is possible. After all, Polka is the kind of guy who has lived for an unknown number of years, and two years is too short.

While Ash was thinking, he suddenly felt a pain in his knee. He turned around and found that Heita had left the sofa at some point, kicked him, and turned around and walked out of the tea room.

"Why did you kick me?"

Looking at the black tower going away, Ash shook his head secretly. Women are indeed a kind of inexplicable creatures.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

After determining the location of the immortal boat, he can try to call the swarm of insects over.

......

Jacob Galaxy.

Amidst the vast and boundless galaxy, a huge black shadow suddenly flew across.

At first glance, it looks like a whole, but if you look closely, you can find that this black shadow is made up of individual insects. Some of the insects are big and some are small. Some can be seen as insects at a glance, but some look like a battleship.

In this biological battleship formed by insect bodies, insects occasionally come in and out.

The swarm is a terrifying existence in the universe that is feared by everyone. They wander in the universe following the will of reproduction, devouring everything that can be eaten. All their actions are only for reproduction and expansion of the entire group.

However, this swarm of insects is different from ordinary ones. Their surface is golden, and their bodies look like giant beetles with a pair of hard wings.

The swarm of insects finally landed on a planet and began to "dine" under the command of the swarm's will. The nutrients that were devoured were sent to the swarm's biological warships, and then more insects were reproduced.

After devouring the planet, the swarm left one after another.

But not long after, the golden swarm of insects was attacked by another blue-black swarm of insects. The two sides fought with each other, biting and devouring each other, and the numbers of both sides were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, the golden swarm defeated its opponent, and the remaining bugs launched an attack on the next target.

This endless war occurred in almost every corner of the Jacob galaxy. Because the Zerg was so large, some routes that originally passed through this galaxy were forced to change their routes. After all, no one wanted to become food for a worm.

Suddenly, all the golden bugs received orders from the will of the swarm and moved in a certain direction.

These swarms of insects entered the biological battleship, then moved at superluminal speeds, and after several months they gathered again around the Insect King.

As more and more swarms of insects gathered, this huge swarm eventually formed a "giant tree" in the galaxy. Every twig of the tree was made up of countless insects, and every branch of the tree had countless huge biological warships, and the core was occupied by the Star-Breaking King Insect.

At His command, the tree began to move quickly in one direction.

They left the Jacob galaxy and appeared in other places. Giant golden trees wandered in the universe, exuding an ancient and magnificent will. Wherever they went, all living beings avoided them.

This scene was observed by many forces in the universe, but no one knew what the Zerg wanted to do. The only certainty was that this Zerg came from the Shurima Empire, but had been active in the Jacob galaxy, almost to the point of being forgotten.

But now seeing the scale of the insect swarm, everyone was shocked. If such power were released, both Xianzhou and the company would probably curse.

Just when they thought the empire was going to use the power of the Zerg to expand, the golden giant tree passed through one galaxy after another and finally arrived in a remote galaxy far away from Griffith.

Then, the swarm of insects spread out according to the command of the Star-Breaking King Insect and began to devour everything around it according to the order of the Insect King.

Soon these insect swarms were attacked by the Xianzhou Alliance.

At this moment, the other forces that followed the Zerg finally realized the true purpose of this Zerg.

"So Xianzhou Zhu Ming is here."

"Zhu Ming, Yu Que, Fang Hu, and Xu Ling, these are the only four immortal ships left in the Immortal Ship Alliance. But they have been hidden since the Luofu explosion."

"I didn't expect Shurima to send a swarm of insects. This is really troublesome for the Immortal Boat."

Every time a fairy boat docks in a place, it will wait for a long time to collect supplies, trade with other civilizations in the surrounding area, and participate in the interaction between civilizations.

After Zhu Mingxianzhou arrived here, they began to develop their power according to the orders of the alliance. They changed their previous way of peaceful coexistence with most civilizations and adopted a foreign policy based on conquest by force and supplemented by lobbying.

In just less than three years, dozens of planets around Zhu Ming Xianzhou joined the Xianzhou Alliance and "voluntarily" contributed manpower and material resources to the great cause of the Xianzhou Alliance.

Because of this, the power of the entire Xianzhou Alliance has developed rapidly in the past three years.

However, this development trend was disrupted by the appearance of the insect swarm. In fact, Zhu Mingxianzhou also observed the appearance of the insect swarm and even guessed at one point that it might be coming for him.

But there is no way. The business is too big. The dozens of conquered planetary civilizations are all under the jurisdiction of Xianzhou. They are unwilling to give up these resources, so they wait until now with luck.

When the battle between the Xianzhou fleet and the Zerg broke out, this remote galaxy immediately became a striking place in the universe.

The Shurima Empire adopted a defensive development policy, which stabilized the originally chaotic cosmic situation. However, the sudden calm made people feel a little uncomfortable. Some people always thought that the emperor was not law-abiding and he must be plotting a bigger conspiracy.

Look, isn’t this coming?

However, the strength of Zhu Mingxianzhou is also extremely impressive. Although the number of insect swarms is large, they have strong technology, and their huge fleets roam the battlefield, and large swarms of insects are constantly being eliminated.

When the first wave of the Zerg's attack was stopped, the Star-Breaking King changed its strategy. It no longer attacked Zhu Ming, but instead ordered the Zerg to launch an offensive against other civilizations under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Boat.

The number of the insect swarm was so huge that when they dispersed, they opened up a long galaxy in the galaxy, surrounding Zhu Mingxianzhou in the galaxy.

Facing the scattered swarm of insects, Zhu Mingxianzhou didn't have a good solution, because if the swarm of insects did not choose to fight them head-on, the speed of killing the swarm of insects might be slower than their reproduction.

What made Zhu Mingxianzhou even more desperate was that shortly after the golden swarm arrived in this galaxy, another swarm rushed in.

Although this swarm's target is the Star-Breaking King, they don't mind eating a planetary civilization that they pass by while attacking the Golden Swarm.

For a time, the melee between the two Zerg swarms turned the galaxy upside down. The layout of Zhu Mingxianzhou that had been laid out for the past three years was returned to the pre-liberation era overnight. Not only that, they had to be on guard against the Zerg's attacks at all times.

Under pressure, Zhu Mingxianzhou finally chose to evacuate from this galaxy, but no matter where they went, there was always a giant golden tree following them.

In the fourth year of the Empire's recuperation, the Xianzhou Alliance, which could no longer tolerate it, sent the Fanghu and Yuque fleets to support Zhu Ming. An unprecedented battle broke out between the three major Xianzhou forces and the insect swarm. The Xianzhou Alliance tried to be the first to eliminate the Empire's right-hand man, but when they made great sacrifices to eliminate those little insects, they found that the Star-Breaking King Insect was nowhere to be found?

"...These idiots really think I'm going to fight them to death with the Star Crusher King Bug."

Inside the space station.

Ash, who had been keeping an eye on the Zerg's movements, couldn't help but sneer after receiving the latest news.

His biggest purpose in sending out the Zerg was to prevent it from affecting Shurima, and secondly to curb the overdevelopment of the Zerg to prevent the Starbreaker from becoming the Zerg King too quickly, by which time he would be completely unable to command the Zerg.

Moreover, the resurrection of reproduction is likely to bring about a new round of cosmic turmoil, which is very unfavorable for Shurima, which is still in the process of development.

Now, using the Zerg to consume the development of the Xianzhou Alliance is a good choice. After all, the Zerg can be regenerated after being destroyed. At the speed at which the Star-Breaking King Bug lays eggs, it will take less than half a year to restore to its previous size without external interference.

So in the next two years, Yaxiu let the Star-Breaking King Worms roam around the Xianzhou Alliance, eating and growing at the same time. When the swarm grew in size, he would attack, eat up the resources of the Xianzhou and hinder its development.

He soon discovered that once the size of the golden insect swarm became smaller, its position in the breeding process would also decline, and other insect swarms would no longer attack the Star-Breaking King Bug so crazily.

So, Ash kept the Zerg at a relatively safe scale, attacking a single Immortal Ship for fun. Over the past two years, this forced Zhu Ming's Immortal Ship to relocate several times. The other Immortal Ships were helpless; they couldn't always support Zhu Ming. Besides, fighting wasn't that simple. While the Zerg could simply keep feeding, they had more to consider.

So at this time they could only pat General Huaiyan on the shoulder and say "take care".

Five years!

The time of settling down was not long, but for every Shuriman, it seemed like the longest period since the founding of the empire.

Ash's original decision was correct. After just five years of silence, the entire empire now looks brand new.

In the three major Ascended Chapters, the Sons of the Sun, the Fists of the Empire, and the Hearts of Iron, the number of Ascended Warriors exceeds 10,000, and the number of mortal auxiliary troops in the Chapters has also reached one million.

Although there are only 5,000 Imperial Guards, most of them are wearing new power armor, and their combat effectiveness is even more terrifying than that of the soldiers of the Ascended Legion.

In addition, the size of the Astra Militarum has reached an unprecedented level of tens of millions. Although the combat capabilities of most soldiers are not high due to limited training time, they are barely enough to assist the Ascension Corps in its attacks.

Cocolia positioned the current Astra Militarum as post-war management, defense, and battlefield assistance. She was well aware that with limited resources in the empire, it was more important to prioritize the advancement of the Ascension Corps.

So in the past five years, she didn't even ask the Empire for funding. The development of the Astra Militarum mainly relied on the support of the conquered planets.

Only when the empire develops further and resources become abundant, the armed Astra Militarum will be able to play a more multifaceted role.

And these combat forces only come from the Shurima Empire, and do not include the forces developed by the Primarchs scattered outside!

"almost."

Ash looked at the empire's gorgeous data display and nodded with satisfaction.

"Are you ready for war?" asked the Black Tower on the side.

"Well, it's time for the Empire to go to space... Let's start with the Immortal Boat Alliance."

After Ash finished speaking, he sent a communication invitation to all the Primarchs, and suddenly projections appeared in the air of the room.

"Emperor!"

"Queen."

There were nineteen Primarchs in total, and they greeted Ash and Black Tower respectfully.

"Come back, children," Ash said loudly, "and follow my footsteps to conquer this universe!"

......

I may have to take a day off tomorrow. I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning and work until 8:30 in the evening. ε=(?ο｀*))) Alas, I guess it will be too late to update. If there is no update, I will update more the day after tomorrow.

Desert Emperor in Star Iron: Just came back~~

As the title says, what I said yesterday was conservative. I got up at around 5 o'clock and just got back now. I really can't write anymore. I'll take a day off and try to update more tomorrow.

One hundred words one ...

The Desert Emperor in Star Iron: Chapter 98: Ash's Seven Deadly Sins, and the All-Out War with the Immortal Boat!

A meeting between the core figures of the Empire was held in mystery. No one knew what the Emperor said to his children. When the meeting ended, the Imperial Great Crusade plan, which had been suspended for five years, was restarted.

When the order was issued, the entire empire cheered.

During these five years of settling down, the Empire's priests have spread the Imperial Truth to every corner. No one will question the Emperor's decision, and the long battles with the Immortal Ship, the Corporation, and even Destruction have once again proved that the Empire has the qualifications to become the top force in the universe.

Of course, it’s not too much to conquer Griffith first, right?

After the order was given, Pertu's Ironheart took the lead and started the war of the Great Crusade.

Kane followed with his army, heading east to conquer other civilizations in the Griffith galaxy.

The Imperial Guards led by Wan Di and Julius split into two teams, and the Imperial Guards led by Ryan, and launched an attack on the immortal ships and corporate forces on the northern and southern borders of the empire.

The actions of these ascended warriors are coordinated by a considerable number of Astra Militarum troops, while the Custodians are uniformly equipped with the latest power armor. They do not directly participate in the Great Crusade, but are mainly responsible for eliminating the immortal ships and corporate forces in the Griffith Galaxy.

Within five years, these two forces occupied nearly forty planetary civilizations, large and small. In particular, the Immortal Ship Fleet established a solid defense mechanism around the occupied planets, attempting to use them as the frontline strongholds for the Immortal Ship Alliance to attack Shurima.

Yaxiu did not give them this opportunity. Although the Empire did not launch a strong attack in the past five years, it blocked the construction plan of the Xianzhou Alliance several times and even intercepted the supplies smuggled in by the Xianzhou.

Although the Immortal Boat Fleet still occupied nearly thirty planetary civilizations, it could not hold out for long against the Empire's current massive armed forces. After all, not everyone possessed the same excellent defensive capabilities as the Fist of the Empire.

However, in order to promote a large-scale expedition across the imperial universe, in addition to the size of the army, rear-end supplies are equally important.

However, five years of rapid development did not leave the empire with sufficient material reserves to support an expedition of this scale. Even if the war was fought to support the war, the risk factor brought by the near-limit supply of materials was too high.

Fortunately, Tingyun brought good news at this time. She reached an agreement with many shareholders of Pinocchio and obtained a large amount of resources from them.

"That guy Odi is actually willing to bleed so much?"

Tingyun had not told him about this before. Yaxiu had not counted on Pinoconi. After all, the five-year defense policy dealt a heavy blow to Odi's confidence in relying on the empire for development. If the empire did not expand, all his investment would be lost.
