Chapter 506, The Princess' Rebellion

The outbreak of the ‘Princess’s Rebellion’ was actually later than Gu Hang expected.

Earlier, he even thought that when the Iron Fury Stone broke out, he might not have returned to the Dragon Eagle Star Region yet.

In this regard, he believed that the Alliance still had a great contribution.

If it weren’t for the bloody battle that broke the backbone of the Fury Flame Corps, making the ‘Fury’ in the middle of the Iron Fury Stone basically temporarily unusable, then the Princess’s Rebellion might have been launched earlier.

Although he didn’t want to fight, this matter didn’t depend on him.

It was actually quite good that he could delay the Iron Fury Stone for a few months by beating up the Fury Flame Corps.

Thinking rationally, the current choice of the ‘Iron Fury Stone’ was expected.

Everyone knew that they were going to rebel, and they also knew that everyone else knew it.

The atmosphere had been set to this extent, and they had to rebel.

However, no one expected that the situation would explode so badly.

The great rebellion started by Iron Fury Stone was as fierce as fire!

In February 230, the 10th millennium since the establishment of the Empire, the Princess Rebellion broke out.

Iron Fury Stone made a public announcement, clarifying that he was the guardian of the entire Princess Star Region, and even the guardian of the entire Spider Web Universe. From the Princess Star Region to all 14 star regions in the Spider Web Universe, they should obey the dispatch of the Iron Armored Warband and cooperate with the actions of the Iron Armored Warband.

"This is for the benefit of the Empire."

That's what they said.

The Holy Terra Empire Government immediately announced that the Iron Armored Warband, the Fury of Flames Warband, and the Stone Shield Warband were traitors of the Empire.

The Spider Web Universe Government immediately followed up with the announcement and asked the imperial forces in various places in the universe to guard their homeland; the Star Army and the Imperial Navy, which had already completed the assembly, began to launch a tentative attack on the Princess Star Region.

From this perspective, the Empire must have been prepared.

In fact, the entire political faction headed by Prime Minister Ou Juren of the Ministry of Justice had long been preparing to eliminate the Iron Fury Stone by force. However, in the early years, Holy Terra had not reached a consensus on this, and there were still supporting factions such as Norberto, so the relevant preparations could not be fully carried out. Ou Juren and his team could only mobilize the power of their own faction and do some defensive work at best.

When Norberto was killed and the war between the Empire and the Iron Fury Stone was inevitable, the Empire finally reached a consensus and could make military preparations against the Iron Fury Stone. However, the bloated and inefficient political and military institutions of the Empire could not act quickly at all.

In the past year, a lot of time has been wasted on meetings and discussions.

After finally deciding which troops could be sent out and getting the leaders of the troops to accept the order, they were stuck in mobilizing supplies for the troops;

Holy Terra personally sent envoys to contact other warbands in the Spider Web Universe, except for the Iron Fury Stone, but many of those envoys have not even arrived in the Spider Web Universe;

Several internal agencies of the Inquisition have questioned the Silver Inquisition, especially the Heretic Inquisition and the Vigilance Inquisition. These two Inquisitions strongly demanded that the Silver Inquisition cut ties with the Iron Fury Stone and asked them to self-examine and self-correct and clean up their own internal affairs.

They were cleaned up, but they did not move.

An elite team of the Iron Armored Warband intervened in the purge within the Silver Inquisition. In terms of political attitude, the faction that leaned towards the Empire was killed. A squadron of combat sisters sent by the Heretic Inquisition, a battalion of loyal stormtroopers, and the judges of these two Inquisitions were all wiped out.

The Inquisition and the Tribunal of Vigilance were furious about this. Although they had stepped up efforts to recruit new forces, it was difficult to find any way to deal with it for the time being.

This was the situation of the Empire in the past few months: preparations were really made.

What could be done if the preparations were not good?

Did the Empire know about this situation?

In fact, they had a rough idea of ​​it.

They knew that the current preparations were definitely not enough, so many times, they hoped that the Iron Wrath Stone could be launched later; the forces within the Spider Web Universe and even the Princess Universe could hold back the Iron Wrath Stone for a longer time.

But... the situation still collapsed.

And it was even more earth-shattering than those who held a pessimistic attitude imagined.

Originally, it was thought that there were at least some forces loyal to the Empire in the Princess Star Domain. Even if these forces could not escape being purged by the Iron Wrath Stone in the end, they should at least be able to hold on for a while, right?

Eh? No.

They didn't hold on at all.

That month, the entire Princess Star Region, a total of 472 worlds, almost all declared a change of flag and stood on the side of Iron Fury Stone.

All the troops of the Astra Militarum and the Imperial Navy were all under the command system of Iron Fury Stone.

Resistance?

Not that there was none at all.

However, the Iron Fury Stone was well prepared for this. This was their home base, and they had been operating for too long. The small resistance was even expected by them. They knew exactly where the problem would occur, so they had already deployed people there. After the announcement was issued, these signs were immediately extinguished as soon as they appeared.

The entire Princess Star Region changed its flag.

If the empire could barely accept this, then the situation that happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

By the third month, within the Spider Web Universe, around the Princess Star Region, two more star regions almost changed their flags as a whole and joined the Iron Fury Stone.

It was not as simple as the Princess Star Region, and even a brutal bloody conflict broke out. But the Iron Fury Stone's actions were fast and fierce enough. Even if it was a very intense battle, they would quickly deal with it with strong forces and a tough attitude.

A joint fleet formed by the Spider Web Universe, under the command of the top leaders, with multiple Star Army corps, hurriedly entered the control area of ​​the Iron Rage Stone, trying to prevent the wave caused by the Iron Rage Stone from spreading too much.

However, this fleet disappeared eighteen days after entering.

It was surrounded by the fleet under the command of the Iron Rage Stone, and a small-scale battle broke out between the two sides. Then, Captain Paul, without guards or weapons, took a small boat and boarded the flagship of the fleet in person, and had a conversation with the commander with the rank of admiral.

Then, the commander led the fleet to surrender...
