Star Iron, after using the mod to make the Big Black Tower dark, the game became real

Several projection screens surrounded Jiang Wei, clearly and completely revealing the war of breeding insect swarms.

on the screen.

The sky was pitch black, and the densely packed escort ships were equipped with angular and menacing thermal turrets. When they fired, the earth-shattering heat would burn the swarm of insects half-cooked before they even hit them.

The fleet included more than a dozen destroyers, which were much larger, with their weapon turrets taking up a third of their hulls. To call them ship-mounted guns would be an understatement; they were essentially guns with engines that took off.

The carrier-based aircraft are not drones, but the mighty Grammer cavalry. Once in battle, these cavalry will fight in a manner similar to breeding swarms, using swarm warfare to completely surpass the swarms.

Jiang Wei offered a casual explanation.

"The swarm is completely countered by the Grammer Cavalry. They can't do anything and will be blasted apart by the cavalry's flames or the fleet's thermal weapons."

"It looks like I'm in command, but it's more like I'm reading battle reports. There's not much to command. Just charge in, draw the battle lines, and bombard wherever there are bugs with orbital bombardment. Then we win."

He made it sound so easy.

[Event: A Crushing Victory]

[Description: The Grammer Cavalry won a great victory in the battle against the Breeding Swarm. When the artillery fire rained down from the sky, the twelve Dream-Building Borders were shattered, and the Dream Builders' hard work was reduced to ashes. But this was only a minor loss.]

The Empire will fully assist in the construction of the Dream World. We will gradually eradicate the swarm until not a trace of "breeding" remains.

【choose……】

【Well done: We've upgraded our "cluster warfare" strategy to sustain our operations through warfare; [Firefly's] Fate Experience +550, Grammer Cavalry Health +15%, Fate Energy +22%】

[Uploaded combat data: Imperial Scientist's Knowledge Fate Experience +550]

Jiang Wei selected option 1.

The battle ended, and Fu Xuan was visibly shaken.

The scene shows the fleet bombarding the swarm of insects, with the Grammer cavalry unleashing their power and tearing the insects to shreds.

The hallucinogenic insect blood and the memetic distortion ability of "breeding" are completely ineffective; their enemies are the cold fleet and the Grammer Iron Cavalry equipped with an anti-breeding system.

If this battle were handed over to Luo Fu, the losses would be far greater than imagined.

The main fighting force of the Immortal Ship is the Cloud Cavalry. Their star rafts are more used to transport troops than to wage interstellar wars like the Empire.

Gazing at the earth-shattering spirit cannon, the scorched and crumbling land, and the magma turning into rolling heat waves that engulfed the insect swarm.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the empire's military power.

……

Fu Xuan made his decision.

As the sun set, she didn't want to waste another day.

“Your Excellency, I have a way to get the Luofu Immortal Ship to cooperate with the Empire.”

"How to do it?"

"Political marriage".

When Fu Xuan uttered those four words, it was as easy as deciding what to eat for dinner.

“By linking the two great civilizations through a political marriage, our relationship will no longer remain at the level of superficial cooperation, but will be a deeper connection.”

"Marriage?"

Jiang Wei was speechless.

"Don't say things like that in front of me when there are girls around, or it will cause big trouble."

Whether it's throwing a party or going on a date, Jiang Wei maintains a superficial balance.

But a political marriage takes on a different meaning.

Regardless of the reason, Jiang Wei could easily guess that Daheita and Liuying would definitely be jealous, and there was no way to appease them.

"Can't you?"

"We need to change our approach."

Jiang Wei inquired about key information beforehand.

"A marriage alliance? Who's marrying whom?"

"Luofu Taibu Fu Xuan and Imperial Governor Jiang Wei."

Fu Xuan said this calmly.

"I will do everything in my power to please you. As for issues such as status and position... I will discuss it with General Shence, and Luofu can adjust the relevant plans."

How to adjust it?

Of course, if one person isn't enough, send more people.

Although it may seem somewhat deliberate in a political sense, that's how friendship between civilizations works: whoever desires goodwill is willing to pay a greater price.

"Fu Xuan, you are the first girl I have ever met who talks about her major life events so casually."

“It’s not that I don’t care, it’s just that romantic feelings aren’t important at this moment. First and foremost, it’s for Luofu, and secondly, you meet my criteria for a partner.”

Jiang Wei could tell that she had made up her mind.

He reached out and pinched Fu Xuan's chin, making her look into his eyes.

The diviner's noble status stands in stark contrast to her submissiveness at this moment.

A well-behaved and obedient fortune teller from Luofu, it feels pretty good.

What do you think?

"It's too early, Fu Xuan. I'm not refusing, it's just that you don't understand me yet."

"I won't let you down."

Fu Xuan responded calmly.

She even took the initiative to embrace Jiang Wei. The girl's cool body temperature and delicate fragrance, combined with Fu Xuan's calm eyes like the water in an ancient well, showed that she was not immersed in romantic feelings at all.

Fu Xuan doesn't have many personal desires, so this isn't fun.

Jiang Wei wanted Fu Xuan to know that the concept of a political marriage would cause her a lot of suffering.

Call me "My Lord Husband."

"You've agreed to cooperate?"

"Just say so first, it doesn't mean you'll agree to anything, or even be willing to accompany me with other girls from Luofu?"

Fu Xuan didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Her plan succeeded; she persuaded Jiang Wei that the demonic possession of the Immortal Boat civilization was no longer an incurable disease, and General Jing Yuan of the Divine Strategy Army was now free of illness.

Although she couldn't become a general and instead had to become a woman who served Jiang Wei, Luo Fu did gain some benefits, and she was very satisfied with the result.

"My dear husband, I will be a good boy and listen to you from now on."

A shadow loomed over us.

Fu Xuan opened his eyes wide, a ripple appearing in his usually calm eyes.

She parted her cherry lips slightly, shyly responding to Jiang Wei, her heart filled with conflicting emotions.

"You can't be the wife, people will get jealous, and the consequences will be serious."

Jiang Wei came up with a solution.

She calls me "husband" in private, but "Jiang Wei" or "darling" in public.

Despite lacking a formal title, Fu Xuan did not show any negative emotions; instead, he accepted Jiang Wei's suggestion.

Don't you feel wronged?

"No, I benefited. Luofu is on good terms with the Empire, and the Demon Yin Body can also be cured. I am very grateful for my husband's great help."

"You don't even feel wronged? Fine, that means you have absolutely no feelings for me. I'm angry. I was going to be gentle with you and take special care of you at the party tonight."

"Yes, my lord."

Chapter 52 Fu Xuan's Begging for Mercy

It's approaching night.

After Fu Xuan called out "My husband," she joined the empire.

An event popped up.

[Event: The Harm Caused by the Blessing of Abundance]

[Description: The Empire has accepted a Celestial Ship dweller. Scientists have detected some hidden dangers in her body. It is understood that this is a potential disease called "Demon Body". There are five main causes: injury, defilement, anger, other-transformation, and indifference.]

This can be broadly categorized as physical and mental damage, triggering the demonic possession that causes the Abundant Blessing to spiral out of control. While this greatly enhances the patient's physical recovery ability, it also severely damages the mind. Scientists have proposed a treatment plan.

【choose……】

[Increase research allowance: Xingqiong -2000, Dream Element -1; Unlock technology "Demonic Yin Suppression", which allows us to suppress the Demonic Yin Body by subjecting Fu Xuan to a series of harmless physical and mental interferences.]

[Inducing and healing Fu Xuan's demonic body to obtain more data: It would be a waste not to use such a good experimental subject. Scientists will try to obtain a large amount of data through hypnosis, common sense modification, and the elimination of emotions.]

Jiang Wei wants to choose option 2.

Normally he would choose option 1 to avoid blocking the path and to allow for a pure love route later.

But Fu Xuan's attitude toward the arranged marriage made him change his mind.

Option 2 must be chosen, so that she admits her mistake herself.

"Come with me to the office in the Great Black Tower."

"Yes, my lord."

Fu Xuan followed Jiang Wei, uttering tender words while remaining completely unmoved.

……

She was a little confused.

Since it's about treating demonic possession, shouldn't we be targeting people who are already suffering from the illness?

She's still young, so even if she successfully suppresses it, the effect won't be noticeable.

The Great Black Tower explained it to her.

"The 'Demonic Body' is closely related to the Blessing of Abundance. The Empire can suppress the Demonic Body, and naturally it can also suppress the Blessing of Abundance. Once you realize this, you'll be at ease."

"I will obey my husband's wishes."

"Husband?"

The big black tower raised its cheeks and glanced at Jiang Wei.

On the surface, he appeared calm, but Jiang Wei knew perfectly well that if he made even the slightest mistake, it would take him ten times longer to coax him back.

"I don't acknowledge the official relationship between Luofu and the Empire; it's just talk."

[The experiment begins. First, we will attempt to use mind-body technology to catalyze the demonic body and reduce Fu Xuan's mental resistance.]

Demonic possession is a stubborn ailment.

Even a powerful general like Jing Yuan, with immense abilities, would have his strength significantly reduced in order to suppress the Demon Yin Body, facing the risk of losing control.

"Is there any danger?"

As Fu Xuan watched the Great Black Tower approach with a piece of crystal, a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

As a diviner, her premonitions were incredibly accurate. Normally, she would have wanted to consult a fortune teller, but now, Jiang Wei's bracelet was around her waist, preventing her from moving.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely safe."

Jiang Wei smelled Fu Xuan's faint fragrance; her body temperature was truly cool.

Are these the people from the Immortal Ship?

Despite not being naturally indifferent, she can control her emotions and even physiological reactions as if she has no emotions or desires.
