Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

Unlimited troops and it's done!

With his current strength, the limit is to control about two thousand sand soldiers at the same time. This means that in the process of continuous death and replenishment of sand soldiers, unless he can release an aoe skill to destroy a large number of sand soldiers in a short period of time, he will face endless sieges from the sand soldiers until death!

"My God, is this how war can be fought?"

One of the Trevi people said with a confused look on his face.

The light emitted by the golden sand illuminated the battlefield, sand filled the air, and the earth was stained with blood.

All the dead on the other side were people, while all they died on were sand.

Wait...sand can die?

This question lingered in the minds of all the Trevi people, and then some of them subconsciously looked at Chief Kasa, their eyes full of admiration for the chief's foresight.

Thanks to the patriarch, otherwise they might be the ones trapped by the sand soldiers now.

Kasa remained silent.

When they fought with the Sand Soldiers before, the scale was too small to be seen.

He only knew that these sand soldiers were very powerful, but he didn't expect them to be so outrageous... Isn't the summoning speed a bit too fast?

Doesn't sand need a rest? That's inhumane!

Wait, ah, that's not right, how did I get into this vicious circle?

Chief Kasa shook his head and chose to remain silent in the face of the gazes of his tribesmen.

The battle was still going on, but for some reason everyone felt that it was actually over, because no matter how hard Katia led his men to fight, he could not break through the encirclement of the Sand Soldiers, and the Xuanfeng people kept falling. Although there were a thousand people, they would be wiped out sooner or later.

Katya obviously also discovered this, and then he was in a dilemma.

Keep fighting, you can’t win, you can’t win at all!

If we don't fight, what should we do? Retreat? Get defeated and hunted down, and flee back like a stray dog?

"kill!"

Katia gritted her teeth, crossed the blockade of the sand soldiers with her weapon in hand, and rushed towards the position where Ash was behind.

Swish swish!

He was extremely fast, like a ghost on the battlefield constantly shuttling and killing, leaving cracks on every sand soldier that passed by him, and they collapsed the moment he crossed them.

As a hero who emerged from the Xuanfeng Arena, he was stronger than Cornelli. Right now, this was his only hope of triumph - that is, to kill Ash and destroy this infinitely regenerating army of sand soldiers!

"Hey, can't you just stay put? I didn't intend to get rid of you anyway."

Ash raised his scepter gently and spoke lazily.

I was worried about the possibility of an ambush by the Xuanfeng Army, but later I found that I was overthinking it. However, because my main focus was on the mine, Ash didn't care about Katia's team.

Unfortunately, the other party seems to be a bit too responsible.

Ding!

The collision of scimitar and scepter burst out starlight.

"Golden Descendant of Tilkas, let me see your strength!!" Katia growled.

laugh!

The yellow sand transformed into spikes that attacked from the ground. He hurriedly retreated, but the spikes continued to follow his footsteps. Katia had no choice but to roll sideways, but the moment he landed, he was hit in the abdomen by Ash's anticipated scepter, and his figure shot away like a cannonball in an instant.

Boom!

Ash slammed his scepter into the ground, and a wall of sand rose from the position where Katia flew backwards. Katia crashed into the wall of sand with a bang, and the next second the wall of sand surrounded and shrank, turning into a ball made of sand.

boom!

Katia broke the sand ball from the inside and looked at Ash in horror: "You are not of the Golden Descendant. This must be the power that only gods have!"

Ash scoffed, "So you think I'm a god? Now that you're in front of a god, why don't you kneel down?"

"No... Titan's power..."

Katia couldn't understand. Wasn't this level of strength beyond the Golden? He was confident in his own strength, and could stand up to even a thousand enemies. But against Ash... he couldn't beat him, absolutely not!

After only one round of fighting, Katia, having made up his mind, chose to withdraw without hesitation. He wanted to go back and tell the priest and King Olipon the news that the Golden Descendants of Tilkas must have seized the power of a Titan!

Crash! ~~

Yellow sand spread from behind, and Ash chased after him on the sand. The sand spear condensed with power turned into a falling meteor shower and shot out. Even though Katia fought back with all her strength, she was still pierced through the abdomen by a sand spear and fell to the ground, with large amounts of blood constantly gushing out.

"Checkmate."

Ash dropped from the sky, pointed the scepter at his head, and knocked it down gently.

...

One more chapter!

Omphalos's Journey: Chapter 35: The Fictional Historian Asher

While Ash was trying hard to get people to move the ore, in Xuanfeng City, Wan Di was walking among the crowded crowd with his hands in his pockets and wearing a hat.

The bustle of the Xuanfeng Festival echoed in his ears, just as Wan Di remembered. But if he looked closely, he could see that the festival that had attracted a large number of foreigners to participate in the competition in previous years was now just for the Xuanfeng people to entertain themselves.

There are a lot of people, but the bustle is just an illusion. Using the bustle to cover up what is really going on is the purpose of this Xuanfeng Festival.

"Nicardoli..."

Wan Di raised his head and looked at the Blade of Scourge hanging above Xuanfeng City with mixed feelings.

Xuanfeng City, once the dreamland of countless warriors, has now become a scourge that inspires both awe and fear. The irony is that the Xuanfeng clan leaders are still unaware of this. Instead of seeking to understand the cause of Nicardoli's madness, they're intent on creating an immortal body for him.

A body that has abandoned its divinity is nothing but an empty shell. No matter how powerful it is, it will only bring disaster to people and cannot be called a god at all.

At this time, the content of the conversation around me came over.

"Have you heard? Something happened in the Ketchel Mountains. Our mine was lost."

"How is that possible? Aren't there only the Trevi people in the Ketchir Mountains? They may be powerful, but they wouldn't dare to confront us head-on."

"It seems a Golden One has appeared... Yes, the one from Tilkas."

"Ash? The Golden One who withstood Nicardori's sharp arrows?"

"That's him. The king sent out his army, and Lord Katia led the Hanging Vanguard in pursuit, a full thousand men, but they were defeated miserably."

"this..."

Wan Di walked past them calmly.

"That guy Ash, didn't I ask him to recruit the Trevi people? Why is there a fight going on... Katia, the warrior who won the Xuanfeng competition."

Recruiting people could cause such a big fuss. Wan Di really didn't know what to say.

You recruit people, and you pick up ore along the way. It goes without saying that Xuanfeng City attaches great importance to mines when forming an army. Even soul forging requires some ores. Now that the Kechir mine has been destroyed, don’t you have to fight back quickly?

However, Xuanfeng City couldn't spare any extra troops at the moment... One thousand people, Wan Di secretly thought that if he met Katia with a thousand people, he would not be able to defeat him, after all, there were not many people around Ash.

Ten?

Or fifteen?

At this moment, Wan Di couldn't help but wonder, was the world outside the sky that Ash mentioned before real or fictional?

"That guy must be Zagreus's successor."

While thinking about things, pay attention to the surrounding situation and secretly collect useful clues.

About half an hour later, he turned into the alley and saw a tall mountain dweller inside.

"Kay."

Wan Di took off his hat and looked up at the other person, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see...Madmos."

Kai said in a deep and deep voice, "It is really risky for you to come here. King Olipon will not let you go."

"I agree with you on this point." Wan Di said nonchalantly, "One day, I will take off his head with my own hands, but before that, you need to do me a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"Hatronus, he is forging a holy weapon for the Xuanfeng people. I want to meet him."

"It's difficult to see Hartonus." Kai shook his head. "He's been imprisoned in a special place, strictly guarded by Xuanfeng soldiers. Only some of my people can enter. You can't enter."

"Then find a way to get him out for once," Wan Di said in a deep voice. "Kai, consider the fate of the mountain people. You shouldn't be imprisoned here, enslaved by the Xuanfeng. Your companions have already arrived in Tilkas. The Golden Born there, heir to Gioria's will, has promised to protect you mountain people."

"Companions... Najita and the others, they're still alive, how wonderful." Kai's calm voice hinted at joy. "Gioria, He created the Mountain People, and we should follow Him... Tell me, Maidemos, what are your plans?"

Seeing Kai's agreement, Wan Di felt relieved. It seemed that the name of Gioria really did work well for the people of the mountain.

...

"...In that ancient land, before the Golden War began, the civilization of Omphalos was at its peak, protected by the Titans."

"At that time, the Hanging Edge wasn't the only one, and Ohma wasn't the master either. There was a powerful human empire called Shurima. Its power far outweighed the Hanging Edge, and its prestige surpassed the oracle upheld by Ohma. It was truly the most powerful nation in Omphalos."

"Unfortunately, Shurima's peak didn't last long. Jealous plots spread from without. Zagreus seduced the Emperor's best friend. He chose to betray the Emperor at the critical moment of his divine power, pushing the Emperor onto Senatos's ship and into the deepest part of the Styx."

"Without the Emperor's protection, Shurima fell apart. The golden disc, a symbol of the Empire's power, was destroyed by the spears of discord. Hundreds of years later, no trace of it remained on the land of Omphalos."

In the open wilderness, the marching troops took a brief rest. Beside the campfire that emitted heat and light, the Trevi and Tilkas people sat together and listened to Ash talk about the former glory of Shurima.

His voice was full of vicissitudes of life, and the yellow sand gathered in the air, presenting a series of distant scenes in front of everyone, which was fascinating.

After a while, Kasa wondered, "If it's so famous, why have I never heard of the name 'Shurima'?"

Why? Of course I made that up... The fictional historian Ya Desert Emperor Xiu thought, a touch of sadness on his face as he said, "It's simple. Zagreus hid all the secrets beneath the darkness of Aigle's closed eyes, making it impossible for anyone to learn anything about them. And the thousand-year Golden War has completely erased everything about it."

"Too much of this world's history has been destroyed by war. Civilization has been fractured, history has been lost, and crises lurk in every corner of the darkness. This is the current situation in Omphalos."

Ash looked around and continued, "It was the power of Gioria that allowed Shurima to break free from the strangeness of Zagreus and reappear in the world. One day, its glory will shine again in Ompharos."

As soon as Ash finished speaking, a Tilkas man immediately said, "Lord Ash must be the Sun of Shurima, following the will of Giorria and saving Omphalos from the end of the world!"

The people of Tilkas began to imagine.

Ash smiled but said nothing.

Although the Trevi people were skeptical, they had no evidence to support their belief, and Ash's power was very similar to that of the earth, so they could only believe it first and then decide.

"Okay, let's keep going. Our territory is just ahead."

After a short rest, the team set off again. No one knew how many days and months had passed since they arrived from the Ketchir Mountains. Omphalos, who was trapped in the eternal night, seemed to have lost the concept of time. Until a ray of light illuminated the earth in the sky, the people of Tilkas cheered excitedly.

The Trevi people looked at the sun disk from afar and were filled with wonder.

"Is this the sun that once passed away?"

Kasa and others looked confused.

For them who are accustomed to the darkness, the sun that can bring light is unimaginable.

The stars in the sky are out of reach, and no matter how beautiful the starry sky is, it will become annoying if you look at it too much. They used to pray in their hearts for the little starlight under the night sky to make their lives more convenient. Now, seeing the light emitted by the sun disk, it seems like it is mocking their ignorance at that time.

"Oh my god, does a place like Omphalos still exist?"

exclaimed one of the Trevi priests.

"Kephar, the world-bearing being, the dawn machine he carries is no more than this, right?"

"The dawn machine still needs to be brighter."

"But that's a Titan, a creation of God. Tilkas's Sun Residence said it was summoned by Ash."

"Call me Master Ash, you hear me!"

Amidst a flurry of discussion, the team entered Tilkas.

Today, Tilkas has undergone significant changes. Beyond the central village of Tilkas, the Mountain People have joined the neighboring Xuanfeng Lone Army garrison and, with Ash's help, have built a tall building. The later-joining Kalos and two other tribes have chosen to establish themselves on the other side of the village. These three districts, totaling around 2,000 people, are surrounded by a towering wall of sand.

Ash led the Trevi people in, attracting much attention along the way. After having the sand soldiers stack the ore in an orderly manner in a specific place, he called Old Otto to arrange a place for the Trevi people to take root, and later hold a banquet to express their welcome, which would mean that they were completely integrated.

"Master Ash, I have something important to report to you."

Old Otto whispered about recent events.

"what's up?"

"Regarding Ohma..."
