Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

It’s impossible that all children inherit their mother’s IQ, right?

"Emperor, is the Qingqiu Army about to take action?"

Here, Feixiao came over after the Imperial Fleet set off.

Kane and Petu led the army to leave the Griffith Galaxy. This war was naturally directed against the Xianzhou Alliance. Although Feixiao did not want to face the war with Xianzhou directly, she did need an opportunity to strengthen the fox people's position.

The main reason is that after Yao Qing joined Shurima, apart from helping Ash resist a wave of attacks from the Xianzhou Alliance, he has not made any significant achievements so far.

To put it nicely, it is here to intimidate others.

To be frank, the Empire doesn't consider the fox people as its own people.

"Are you sure you want to join the war against the Immortal Boat? You might have to face your old acquaintances." Ash asked.

"That's fine." Fei Xiao shook his head. "The fox people have long since severed ties with the Xianzhou Alliance. At this point, we have to stand out. Otherwise, even the fox people themselves won't be sure whether we side with the Xianzhou Alliance or Shurima."

The main reason was that she had another chat with Sister Yukong not long ago. Now Tingyun is one of the twelve councilors, controls the economic lifeline of the empire, and has brought a lot of convenience to the fox tribe.

Yukong also allowed her to completely let go of the past. After all, this was not a betrayal by the fox people, so there was nothing to feel guilty about.

Even if the Immortal Boat Alliance was destroyed, so what? No power could truly thrive forever. Even Star Gods would die, let alone humans.

You have to work for whoever you eat.

Moreover, the greater the benefits Tingyun brought to the fox tribe, the more guilty Feixiao felt.

So this time he took the initiative to ask for a fight.

"In that case, you will set out with the Imperial Army this time."

Yaxiu did not refuse Feixiao. This time, he would have to fight the Xianzhou Alliance to the end. The combat power of the Qingqiu Army plus Feixiao was enough to have a significant impact on the situation.

...

Swish!

A month later.

Centauri Galaxy, in the vast Milky Way.

Huge warships suddenly appeared across the galaxy channel.

Ash stood in the command room of the Black Tower Queen, observing the surrounding situation through the monitor.

"Black Tower 001, have you noticed anything unusual?"

"There are signs of active life. The coordinates have been synchronized with the systems of all major warships."

Black Tower 001 projected a virtual map into the air and showed it to Ash.

Ash soon discovered that the civilization on the east side of the Centaurus galaxy, which was occupied by the Immortal Ship, had formed an overall defense line. There were planetary strongholds at each location, and the energy fluctuations emitted from them were captured and analyzed by the Queen.

Although a rough layout of the defense line can be drawn, the situation of each planetary stronghold is not clear. The only thing that is certain is that these jointly defended planets must have powerful defenses against orbital strikes, and can even withstand the attack of planet-destroying weapons.

The Black Tower had said before that the Immortal Boat had recruited geniuses to help, so Ash didn't dare to take it lightly. Those black technologies might not have much effect on the existence of the Order Level, but in a war, they could become a force that turns the situation around if they are not careful.

While thinking, Ash asked Petu's vanguard to explore the way first and find out the situation.

Firepower, personnel deployment, defense situation, etc. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

And Petu was happy to do this. He was very proud now. Even if Cain and Dorn were stronger than him, what could they do? He was following the Emperor on his expedition!

Soon, Petu launched a landing battle on a planet.

Before landing, he ordered an orbital strike on the planet, but the firepower was blocked. Petu did not further use planet-destroying weapons. Firstly, it might not be able to break the defense, and secondly, landing operations could more accurately understand the enemy's situation.

In fact, compared to wasting ammunition to attack planetary defenses, landing operations can often achieve greater results.

After all, the warship's ammunition configuration is limited. It is impossible to launch a devastating attack on every planet it encounters, right? No matter how much ammunition you have, it will not be enough.

Because of this, Ascended Warriors are so precious. Their powerful combat power and terrifying recovery ability can often kill their opponents directly from the ground.

After a not-so-difficult offensive and defensive battle, Petu roughly estimated the defense level of the planet. Out of a full five stars, he could only give it two and a half stars.

"...The defenses are mediocre, nothing special. They have a good number of personnel but weak combat capability, and their equipment is average. They're completely supported by the base's defenses, who are quite skilled in large-scale fortifications," Petu reported.

"Isn't it a strategic configuration but pure technology?" Yaxiu pondered for a moment, and determined that these technologies of Xianzhou should be provided by the new genius who joined.

"Emperor, I continue the attack."

"Well, go ahead and be careful."

"All for the Empire!"

A simple defensive stronghold doesn't mean anything. It could be a trap deliberately set by the other party to paralyze them.

"Emperor, some space stations have been detected, which should be equipped with powerful orbital weapons." Black Tower 001 said, marking the location of the space station on the original map with a red dot.

These space stations are located in the core area of joint defense, serving as hubs to connect the surrounding planetary civilizations. Once those civilizations are attacked, these space stations can immediately serve as powerful firepower to strike the enemy.

But if you attack the space station, you will immediately be attacked by the surrounding planets.

This is a very typical defensive arrangement.

After Ash had Black Tower 001 calculate the range of the space station's firepower, he first chose to eliminate the strongholds on the surrounding planets. After a month of mopping-up work, Petu completed the cleanup of areas outside the space station's firepower range.

During this process, Zhu Mingxianzhou's fleet did not make any movement, obviously having abandoned those strongholds long ago.

After clearing the periphery, it would be difficult for Petu's regiment to advance further, mainly because of concerns about heavy casualties. Ash directly placed the Queen in the front, using this super fortress to lead the way and led the Imperial fleet to launch an offensive.

boom! boom! boom!

The dull artillery fire roared in space. The Queen's attack failed to break through the outer defense of the space station, but it also tied down most of the firepower in the first time. Then Petu and Feixiao each led their fleet to launch an attack.

drop drop~

"Emperor, there is a communication from the Immortal Boat." Black Tower 001 suddenly said.

"From the Immortal Boat? Let's bring it in."

The screen flickered, and the projection of Huai Yan appeared in front of Ash.

"Emperor." The old general of the Immortal Ship put his hands behind his back. "Only five years have passed, and you can't help but start a war again."

Ash said calmly, "Why, there's a rule that says how many years must pass between wars?"

"I'm just wondering, are you seeking revenge on Xianzhou, or are you simply satisfying your own desire for battle? Emperor, since the birth of the Xianzhou Alliance, we have encountered countless enemies. Those who wanted to destroy us ultimately met their own destruction."

"And you, everyone thinks you're going to start the next Emperor's War. I can see that your obsession isn't about the grudge between Shurima and the Immortal Ship. This is just an excuse for you to start a war."

Huai Yan said slowly.

Ash smiled faintly, "So, does this make any difference to you?"

"There's really no difference. Even if you were the next leader of the Emperor's War, no one would stand up to fight for the Immortal Boat. Only when we fall will someone be willing to stand up."

"You do understand."

"But if that time really comes, it will be too late. An emperor who can directly defeat the Immortal Boat will be even more terrifying than the previous two emperors. By then, the entire universe will be involved in a terrible war... Therefore, we cannot fall here."

"After all this talk, are you trying to tell me you're still on the side of justice?" Ash said indifferently. "In my opinion, there's no fairness or justice in war. Just like the war you launched against the People of Plenty, it's just to achieve a certain goal. Don't make it sound so high-sounding. I'm not noble, and you're definitely not great either. Why do I like to use war to solve problems? Because it's pure enough."

"The outcome of this war will not change according to your will. The Immortal Boat Alliance is destined to become a thing of the past."

"You are very confident, then we will each use our own methods." Huai Yan shook his head. "Emperor, the Immortal Boat Alliance has existed for nearly ten thousand years. It is not as fragile as you appear. The will of the patrol watches over every citizen of the Immortal Boat. Your arrogance will surely bring punishment from the Emperor Bow."

After saying that, Huai Yan's projection disappeared in front of Yaxiu.

"The punishment of the Imperial Bow..." Ash touched the mark on the back of his hand and whispered, "Then come."

...

Huai Yan's appearance did not have any impact on the war situation. In the next two months, the Imperial Fleet and the Immortal Boat Fleet launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle in this star field.

Using the planet to set up a joint defense did cause considerable trouble for Ash, but although Xianzhou Technology had caught up, the combat effectiveness of the personnel remained the same.

Under the landing operations of the imperial army, the planetary strongholds were successfully eliminated one after another.

As expected, when the battle was halfway through, Ash received news from the Black Tower. The latter monitored the movements of the two immortal ships, Fang Hu and Yu Que, and had begun to send troops to support this side.

The three immortal boats were actually not far apart, which was obviously done intentionally by the Immortal Boat Alliance.

Seeing this, Ash also gave orders, asking the Primarchs who had been lurking to launch an attack with their armies.

When the fourteen Primarchs and their regiments suddenly attacked, not only Fang Hu and Yu Que who faced the attack directly, but even the company that had been keeping a close eye on the war was shocked.

"Where did Ash get so many troops?!"

Somewhere outside the Griffith galaxy, Tarafan, who was leading the company's army in hiding, was a little stunned.

This time the company discussed Shurima's attack on the Immortal Ship, and finally agreed that the company could not stand idly by. Now that Kane, Dorn and Ash have left Griffith, only the genius Black Tower is left in charge of this galaxy. Isn't that the best time for them to attack?

After all, in this attack on the Immortal Boat, Ash took out almost 80% of the Empire's troops, leaving only a small part of the Star Army and the Imperial Guard. They can break through with a little determination.

What? They ran away before?

It was just a strategic retreat because they didn't want to bear any losses.

As the overlords of the universe, if they really want to fight, the combat power they can mobilize will make even the Xianzhou Alliance tremble.

only...

"Isn't Griffith setting up another ambush?"

Tarafan, who was originally determined to succeed in this attack plan, became hesitant after receiving news from the front line.

Since Ash was able to secretly develop so many troops, could it be that he has hidden forces that they don't know about?

"Tarafan."

At this moment, a voice sounded in the communication.

"What's wrong Diamond?"

"The board of directors asked you to act quickly. The Shurima Empire has been held back by the Immortal Boat Alliance. Act quickly and don't give them time to react."

"Diamond...Where did Ash get the support to attack the Immortal Ship?"

"He always has a backup plan. I know what you're worried about, and I'm on my way."

"Huh? You're coming too?" Tarafan cheered up.

Diamond is also a general-level fighter. With him, two generals and the company's huge fleet, he is still confident that he can destroy the Shurima Empire without Ash stationed there.

"Hurry up, I'll wait for you."

......

"Ash, Fang Hu and Yu Que's support has been stopped."

Inside the space station, Black Tower reports the battle situation to Ash at any time.

"Okay, I understand. What about the location of Zhu Ming Xian Zhou? Has there been any change?"

"Not yet..." Heita crossed his arms, "I now suspect they might be planning to fight us to the death."

"That's just wonderful."

"Don't be careless. Every immortal ship has its own secrets... I just checked the think tank. Before the advent of patrol hunting, the immortal ship suffered a terrorist attack from the Fengrao people. Zhu Ming's imperial bow was fused with the power of Sui Yang, and he single-handedly turned the tide of the attack. I can't find any valuable clues in the records about Sui Yang. In short, be careful."

Huai Yan is a veteran general of Xianzhou with extremely strong combat capability. If he has Sui Yang's help, he cannot be underestimated even at the level of a commander.

Black Tower did not want to hear the news of the fall of the Shurima Emperor.

"I know. Or rather, I came here for that... Well, Griffith still needs your supervision. I guess the company people will be here soon."

"Already here."

She was a little confused about what Ash said, but Heita didn't pursue it too much. Just as Ash knew her strengths and weaknesses, she also knew Ash's strengths and weaknesses. The latter would never do anything without confidence.

"Don't worry, leave the company's people to me."

The Black Tower said this, opening up communications with the other four Primarchs.

"Children, brace yourself, the battle is about to begin."

The Desert Emperor in Star Iron: Chapter 99 The light beam destroyed Zhu Ming's immortal boat and refined the Sui Yang Sui Emperor!

Ike, Myron, Lanny, Severino...the four Primarchs who stayed behind in Griffith.

"The order from the Black Tower has arrived. Have you received it?"

"Got it. Cooperate with her. The Emperor has given the order."

"She's a genius, but does she really know how to fight?"
