Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

It is obviously unwise to have a conflict with a genius, and an intellectual envoy at that, so it seems acceptable to exchange the sharing of technology for the smooth progress of the plan.

But at this moment, another explosive news spread - a planet ruled by the company was destroyed by the Imperial Guard!

Although it is not a very prosperous planet, with a total population of less than 100 million, it is a planet that has gradually declined after development, and most of the people on it have evacuated and flown into space.

Even so, there are still a large number of company employees and assets left there to carry out the final development work.

Then, the imperial guards arrived and began the massacre!

One hundred people. When the news came out, even the company was shocked.

Faced with the heavily armed Imperial Guards, the company's vaunted armor technology was rendered useless, and the massive mechanical swarms were nothing more than a bunch of toys, destroyed at will. The battle footage quickly spread through various reports, and all factions were shocked by the Imperial Guards' strength.

Immediately after destroying the planet, the Imperial Guards intercepted a large number of the company's transport fleets, killing countless company employees and stealing precious supplies.

The constant fighting and destruction made this imperial guard team of only a hundred people famous. However, due to their flexible mobility, they would evacuate as soon as the company's support arrived.

Finally, the company issued a bounty of tens of billions in anger, trying to gather the power of other forces in the galaxy to eliminate this "bug".

They even wanted to be fair and support Schneider's decision.

But soon, the always low-key genius, Ruan Mei, suddenly issued a public statement that the Insect King Skara Kabaz was her creation, and she was also directly involved in the creation of the Imperial Guards, and she had a very good friendship with King Ash.

As soon as the news came out, the company quietly withdrew the 10 billion yuan reward.

Swish!

Inside the temple, the projection of the black tower appeared in front of Ash.

"You're now famous throughout the galaxy," she teased. "Today alone, no fewer than ten people have asked me for information about you, five of whom are members of the Genius Club. Tyrant of Destruction, Ash, how do you feel now?"

Ya Xiu withdrew from his training and said calmly, "It's expected. This trend has spread to this point, involving two geniuses, you and Ruan Mei. Naturally, someone will pay attention."

The appearance of Ruan Mei became the key point to break the situation.

"I'm surprised you were able to convince Ruan Mei to publicly support you. That guy hardly interacts with outsiders, like a total otaku." Heita said, then froze for a moment, revealing an inexplicable smile. "Guess who came to see me just now?"

Ash raised his gaze: "Who?"

"The one from the company's investment department, the 'Diamond'."

"Oh, and then? Does he want to fight too?"

"He, hehe~ is here on behalf of the company." Heita smiled slightly, "He said the company wants to reconcile with you, and you set the terms."

......

.....

Yesterday's bounty statistics: monthly tickets 68, rewards 8, blades 22. The bounty continues, and at the end of the month, I'm asking for monthly tickets!

The Desert Emperor in Star Iron: Chapter 70: Compensation for a Galaxy, the Forgotten Man Sees Tingyun, Illusion:?

When you lack strength, your behavior will be defined by others.

When you are strong enough, your behavior will be defined by yourself.

Ash had to admit that there was a reason why the company had grown to its current size, and they had fully demonstrated the turtle spirit of being able to stretch and shrink.

No wonder, although the company has always claimed to be the most loyal follower of the protection, in fact, there are few people in the company who can be glanced at by Clipper. This may be because Clipper himself is indifferent to worldly affairs and is focused on building walls, but it also has a lot to do with the company's behavioral philosophy.

To put it bluntly, a company is an interest group rather than a belief group. The huge economic system and complex interpersonal network relationships mean that their beliefs will never be pure.

Therefore, in any matter, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Facing two geniuses at the same time, plus Yalilo's own strength, even the company would find it difficult to withstand it.

After all, what was Ash afraid of? The barefoot were not afraid of the shod. The most he could lose was a planet and the people who followed him on Yalilo.

But how many people are there in the whole of Beloberg?

On the other hand, Ash can lead his men to carry out endless attacks on the company's sphere of influence. This is not a small fight. First of all, Ash himself has the strength of a false emissary. Secondly, his insect swarms and imperial guards can cause great losses to the company.

So after weighing the pros and cons, the company made a decisive decision: Is a settlement possible?

They even sent Diamond, the head of the investment department, who was also a candidate for the board of directors and a confirmed protector of the company.

This is equivalent to giving Ash a considerable amount of attention, but...

What the hell does this have to do with me?

For Ash, it doesn't matter who negotiates. If the company wants to settle, his conditions are simple.

"Bring me Schneider's head, and I'll consider reconciling with them." Ash sneered.

You asked me to set the conditions, fine, I'll set them, you give them to me.

Heita spread his hands and said, "That's probably unlikely. Although Schneider has caused the company considerable losses, he is, after all, a candidate for the board of directors. He still has his own strength and connections. Even if the company wanted to, he wouldn't chop off his head for you."

Ash spread his hands and said, "Then there's nothing much to say. I only believe in one principle: if they've become my enemies, it's best to kill them directly, otherwise there will be endless trouble."

Heita stared at Ash for a moment, then lazily said, "There's no one here, so let's be honest. I'm sure Schneider's head won't be yours, you know that well, right? And considering Shurima's future development, you can't keep fighting the company. You need time, time to develop. Only when you and Shurima become strong enough will we have a chance to truly overturn the company's position."

"So, what do you want? Resources, money, or land?"

"I'm not kidding, I just want Schneider's head." Ash waved his hand, "Black Tower, go talk to that Diamond and tell him that's all I want."

"Um..."

Heita stared at Ash, making sure that the latter was not joking.

Oh.

She suddenly understood.

There is no room for compromise on killing Schneider. If the so-called negotiations don't produce any results, then they will continue. In this process, what Ash has gained for himself is time for development.

After all, the company will not agree to this request. Even if Schneider will be severely punished, it should be decided within the company, which is related to the company's prestige.

If you can't reach an agreement, keep talking. As long as Ash becomes stronger, the bargaining chips will continue to increase.

If the company doesn't want to bleed, it can only be prepared to cut its losses.

The key point that completely tilted the negotiations was not her and Ruan Mei's positions, but when Ash could reach the level of an envoy.

There is a world of difference between a envoy and a fake envoy.

Heita even suspected that Ash had never considered reconciliation, because if this condition was delayed, it would be equivalent to unilaterally having the right to start a war at any time.

Although not a 'genius', Heita felt that Ash's thinking about war was sometimes more cunning than that of geniuses like them. Could this be a genius in war? She should consider proposing that Ash have an additional seat in the Genius Club.

...

The negotiation results between Black Tower and Diamond were naturally not ideal.

Diamond had no right to agree to Schneider's disposal rights, but he also did not refuse. He was very happy to bring Ash's request back to the company and apply for a board decision to jointly discuss the punishment for Schneider.

at this time.

In a conference room in the headquarters building of Interstellar Peace Corporation.

Diamond looked at the five projections that appeared beside the conference table and recounted the content of the negotiations with Black Tower.

"He wants Schneider's life? What on earth is that guy thinking? He has so much money and supplies to spare. What good would killing Schneider bring him?"

"Perhaps they're worried about retaliation from Schneider, but the company can't agree to such a condition anyway."

"Schneider is a candidate for the board of directors and the head of the development department. No matter what mistakes he made, he should be punished internally by the company."

"Diamond, you haven't even seen Ash?"

Diamond sat in a chair, spreading his hands. "No, I haven't seen him. Black Tower seems happy to speak up for him. I think this genius is probably gloating over his misfortune. The Development Department has caused her a lot of trouble recently, and she's eager to see us suffer."

Diamond was well aware of Black Tower's intentions, but Black Tower's stance was unimportant. At best, it would just disgust them when they reached an agreement with Ash.

If Ash doesn't give in, then the negotiations will be difficult to continue.

"Otherwise, we can just hand Schneider over." Diamond said nonchalantly, the smile in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

The other directors pretended not to hear.

Who doesn't know that you Diamond and Schneider have always been at odds?

Now the Development Department has been hit hard, and the whole department is lifeless. In contrast, the Investment Department next door is decorated with lights and is just short of setting off firecrackers to celebrate.

"Compensate him with the Jacob Galaxy." At this time, a director said.

The company had just taken over the Jacob Galaxy a few years ago. It happened that other planets except Savantia had not been developed, and it was adjacent to Griffith. With Yalilo there, they had no chance of continuing to develop there, so it was better to hand it over as compensation.

"Ownership of a galaxy..."

Some directors hesitated.

The Milky Way is very large and there are many galaxies.

But not all galaxies are suitable for development.

Galactic overlords like the Interstellar Peace Corporation have arbitrarily divided up the development rights without the knowledge of the galaxy's native residents.

The development of each galaxy will bring unimaginable benefits, so even the directors are hesitant about this compensation.

"That only works if he can hold on to it," the director who proposed it laughed. "If we don't develop it, others will naturally take advantage of it. Ash can't even manage his own territory, so how can he have the energy to care about Jacob?"

"As I recall... Griffith is being invaded by the Antimatter Corps, right?"

"That's right. Yalilo VI was initially attacked by the Antimatter Legion, but then a stellar core disaster broke out. Now that it's regaining vitality, there's no telling when the Antimatter Legion will target it."

"Over in the Jacob Galaxy, we can just secretly support a small force there. Won't it be ours then? But right now, this farce is so turbulent. We need to let it blow over first and focus our attention on Pinocchio. Don't forget that's where our original plan should be," the director who made the proposal continued. "Of course, we can't just give the Jacob Galaxy to him. This is our biggest concession in the negotiations... What do you think?"

The other directors looked thoughtful.

Diamond frowned and said, "Director Tian, I must remind you that Ash is not just one person. Behind him stand two geniuses, Black Tower and Ruan Mei. Is it really necessary for the company to continue to be his enemy?"

"Don't you think I'm considering the interests of the company?"

"I think the decision could be made more decisively. Investments have gains and losses. We have already lost money on this account with Yalilo. We must acknowledge this and make a decision immediately."

Zaitian said calmly, "Does making a prompt decision mean handing Schneider over? Diamond, please don't let your personal grudges affect company decisions."

diamond:"..."

"Okay, let's leave the negotiations to Diamond. The bottom line is the development rights of the Jacob Galaxy. This farce really needs to end." The director sitting in the upper left corner spoke, ending the unpleasant discussion.

"Let's focus on the Pinocchio incident and try to make up for the losses caused this time."

...

Only the directors who participated in the company's high-level meeting knew the content. After the meeting, Diamond did not rush to negotiate with Black Tower, but instead arranged the next layout in Pinocchio.

As the star of the entire galaxy's event, the value brought by Pinocchio is undoubtedly difficult to estimate, and this time the business falls on the strategic investment department.

While Schneider is ill, Diamond must seize the opportunity to defeat Schneider completely in one fell swoop.

If there are two people for one position, they are substitutes.

If there is only one person, then the title of substitute will no longer exist.

Anyway, the conflict with Yalilo was caused by Schneider. The longer the matter goes on and the bigger it gets, the more pressure Schneider will be under. Why is he in such a hurry?

Diamond is not in a hurry, and Ash is even less anxious.

The Imperial Guards led by Cocolia are still fighting all over the galaxy. She will regularly send the looted materials back to Beloberg to meet the development needs of Yalilo.

It has to be said that after the former Grand Guardian unloaded the heavy burden on her shoulders, she is now fighting for Shurima as the commander of the Royal Guards. Her abilities are indeed impeccable to Ash.

She achieved fruitful results in many battles with the company, and not a single imperial guard was killed. Her efficient command and decisive decision-making made the imperial guards convinced of her.

Of course, the company was worried.

They are a wealthy family and don't care about the loss.

But it couldn't withstand the constant burning, killing and looting.

If Cocolia continues to kill, it will also be a loss to the company's reputation.

Therefore, reconciliation negotiations must continue.

But Ash refused to meet with them. Want to reconcile? Okay, bring Schneider's head first.

There is no sincerity at all, what the hell is this?

During these days, Ash ascended another fifty imperial guards and sent them to join Cocolia's team.

Although there are differences in the completion of the ascension ceremony due to personal physical problems, the growing faith in Ash, the people's loyalty to him and recognition of Shurima have greatly improved the success rate of ascension, and the number of the Imperial Guards has also been increasing.

But Beloberg is still too small!
