Chapter 654: Imperial Symbol

~14 min read 2,734 words

Although High Priest Shilada had received a warning from Lavitan, the only force she could mobilize recently was the First Royal Fleet at Diwu Star. Based on the current balance of power between the two sides, it was clear that besides the Dead Ash Legion, Yi Mogu had mixed in other legions, totaling over five thousand ships, while the First Fleet had only two thousand.

Through the power of the Council of Elders, the Dead Ash Fleet was equipped quite excellently; in fact, it was even better than the Royal First Fleet. Shilada was also filled with deep regret. Although she had made certain preparations and kept releasing smoke screens, seeing the scale of this fleet, she knew that Yi Mogu had been preparing for a rebellion from the very beginning.

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

After the Dead Ash Fleet began its large-scale jump, the various great families had actually already received the news. Furthermore, Shilada had immediately issued a legion mobilization order. The Kapoor Family's Second Fleet of the Royalist Faction and the Dirac Family's Fifth Fleet had rushed to Diwu Star at the first opportunity, but even the fastest, the Kapoor, would still need 2

1 hours, while the Fifth Fleet would need 60 hours. As for the other fleets, there was no need to count on them due to various judgments; at this time, it would be good enough if they didn't join Yi Mogu's rebellion.

At this moment, the battle at the Ruling Anthem had already begun. Haosen had returned with the Sixhou Zhantuan and was already engaging the Imperial Guard of Los. The opponent's numbers were several times that of the Imperial Guard, but the Anthem had the protection of energy shields, so for a time, Haosen was unable to break through.

The Sixhou Zhantuan was Yi Mogu's core Heavenly Martial Warrior legion, which had always carried out various war missions and was definitely the strongest combat force in the Ozil Empire.

Didiao, Haisen, and others were already preparing to return to their respective sides to gather their clansmen. For non-Ozil people, the best choice at this time was to wait and see.

Even if the Yi Mogu legion occupied the Ruling, they would not likely move against them. Yi Mogu was only rebelling, not making an enemy of the entire Star River. In fact, the rampaging Sixhou Zhantuan of Yi Mogu was indeed spreading information: the Mogu Family was only clearing out the traitors around the Princess, and it had nothing to do with the other major civilizations. Those who supported the Mogu Family would become allies of Mogu. For most people, maintaining silence at this time was the best choice, unless they had a particularly deep relationship with Hermia.

Helena, Ning Long, Aoliweina, Kuta, Gaia, Gasimi, as well as Li Hao and Luo Bi had already arrived at the Tianwu Center. At this time, Hermia was also at the Tianwu Center. Defatandisi and Dalipeng had already arrived one step ahead. The Anthem Warriors of the Seventh Art had joined the defense of the Ruling. The Tianwu Center was the safest place in the entire Ruling, and at the same time, it was where the Eternal Crystal was located. To control the Ruling, besides capturing Hermia, the other thing that must be occupied was the Eternal Crystal, as it related to the energy of the entire Ruling.

Fronzo and Cheng Konghai were also there. The other Anthem Committee Members had led the Anthem Warriors to participate in the battle. The Tianwu Center had become a temporary combat command center.

At this time, a large number of Celestials wearing Heavenly Martial Armor with the Sixhou mark were attacking the energy canopy of the Ruling Anthem, with various particle cannons attacking crazily.

Fronzo was in an energy state, manipulating the Eternal Crystal to resist and adjusting the energy distribution. Meanwhile, in the front-line footage, the Imperial Guard of Los was already engaged with the Sixhou Zhantuan.

There was no room for maneuver for either side. This was the most cruel rebellion; no matter which side failed,

there would be no good end.

Li Hao looked at the battle situation and then saw Hermia. Hermia was also looking at Li Hao. It was a familiar gaze; although the eyes were different, Li Hao still realized it—this was the look of Kashika.

But now was not the time to get to the bottom of it. He and Hermia were definitely on the same front.

Not to mention the mission, once Haosen succeeded, it wouldn't just be a problem for the three of them. Given Haosen's personality, let alone attacking the Solar System, even just tripping them up would be enough to give the Humans a hard time.

"Princess, the key now is not within the Ruling Anthem. Although the Sixhou Junduan is not weak, it is not an easy task to break into the Ruling," Defatandisi's voice was steady, naturally making people trust him. "Now most Celestial Warriors have already joined the resistance, and other races are also staying in their residences without any unusual movements; this is the best situation. The key is whether General Shilada can block the Dead Ash Fleet in space. I am worried that besides the Dead Ash Fleet, other forces are participating."

Yi Mogu's family had prepared for so long that it was impossible for them to fight alone; they must have allies.

There were likely many who coveted the interests of the Ozil Empire. Since ancient times, rebels have always liked to find outside allies.

Even if they broke into the Ruling Anthem, the Tianwu Center would not be so easy to attack. The entire defense system had been activated, and the Eternal Crystal provided even stronger defense for the Tianwu Center. Under Fronzo's manipulation, this was a combat fortress.

"We had already made the fastest response when we received the intelligence, and the rescue fleet is also on its way. As long as we hold on for 20 hours, Yi Mogu's plan will go bankrupt," Hermia said.

Defatandisi was also a bit surprised. He thought Hermia would be panicked, but in reality, the Princess's reaction was very stable, and her thinking was very clear.

"We know this, and the Mogu Family must know it too. I am worried that once the rescue fleet comes, they will be desperate and use a Forbidden Weapon on Diwu Star."

Everyone's expression changed. Planetary Weapons had been strictly banned after the Galaxy War; those that were sealed were sealed, those that were destroyed were destroyed, and the technology was also forbidden from being researched. However, who could guarantee whether the Mogu Family might have obtained one? This was not the kind of "scraping" cannon that humans had; the Celestials' planetary weapons could be mounted and launched by capital ships, and they could directly detonate a planet.

Everyone's mood sank. In a war of this level, Li Hao and the others had no say. Even if they had adapted extremely quickly to the use of Universe Power in terms of Spirit ability, and even reached a very high level, in terms of technology,

it was not something that could be caught up with in a short period, not to mention this scale of interstellar war. The Kepler War that Li Hao and the others experienced had a significant number of warships, but in terms of power level, it was incomparable.

At this moment in space, the two fleets had already engaged. The defense and attack equivalent of the interstellar warships, and even the flexibility of the warships, far exceeded that of the Human fleet. Li Wu, Luo Bi, and Cheng Konghai were all watching intently.

One day, humans would also very likely face such a war. What would they do then?

Once, humans even thought that their warships might be lagging, but two against one, if that didn't work, five against one, or even ten against one would surely work, right? Quantitative change leading to qualitative change—this was the theory of a considerable number of people. Looking at the interstellar war before them, this concept could be directly strangled.

The most common were the ring-shaped spaceships. This kind of high-speed moving spacecraft had astonishing flexibility and firepower,

which was fierce as hell, not to mention those large interstellar ships that released terrifying energy in space, with various particle cannons illuminating the sky.

If one simply discussed the combat power of the Royal First Fleet and the Dead Ash Fleet, it seemed that the difference was not very large. Moreover, the opponent's fleet had not deployed its full power, maintaining long-range strikes because getting too close would enter the defense range of Diwu Star. In that case, they could hold each other off for a very long time, but soon this fantasy was shattered.

In the star field of Diwu Star, spatial fluctuations continued to appear. Batch after batch of ships appeared. Clearly, Yi Mogu's trump card had been revealed. A large number of ships with skull ghost-face marks appeared,

and began to attack the Ozil Royal First Fleet from all directions.

The situation immediately became different. The Royal Fleet began to be suppressed in firepower. The Celestials' interstellar warships all possessed extremely strong defensive shields, but how many times could such shields hold up?

And at the Ruling Anthem, Haosen was also becoming manic, leading the Sixhou Zhantuan in a crazy, fierce attack. Inside, there were also Mechanical Race members setting up large instruments, which were dissolving the Ruling Anthem's defense system.

Having been at the Ruling Anthem for five years, how could Haosen not understand the situation of the Ruling Anthem? In fact, when the rebellion first started, he also had a trace of trepidation, but once it truly began, especially after personally killing several Imperial Guards, he completely let go and went crazy. Wherever the Death Fire went, there was a trail of casualties.

Although he had lost to Li Hao in an inexplicable way, he was, after all, the former number one on the Heavenly Ladder.

Shilada, Los, and other committee members were not by Hermia's side. Helena and Ning Long could not leave. As long as the Emperor was still there, or rather, if the Emperor hadn't taken away so much core power, the current Yi Mogu would simply be courting death. But now there was no other way; otherwise, Yi Mogu would not have the

guts. The defense shield was dead, and the Mechanical Race always had a way to open an energy hole. Once there was a breakthrough, defending would be troublesome. The battle situation was also more tragic, but as Xilian said, in fact, the Ruling Anthem side would likely drag it out for more than 20 hours, but what about in space?

Luo Bi no longer had the joy of victory. Not just him, as the Summon God allowed everyone's Spirit to awaken,

the power brought confidence. They once thought that humans were about to rise, and even as more humans broke through the Spirit shackles, humans would be very, very powerful. But now they realized that the real gap was not Universe Power, but interstellar war power.

The Saint Song System was an order model where large-scale wars did not occur. Once a war between countries occurred, interstellar power and military scale were the most important things.

Although they didn't know if the opponent had Forbidden Weapons, the Galactic Alliance was truly very strict in this regard. It was also because the Galaxy Era had indeed suffered unprecedented casualties and losses, and it took a very, very long time to recover to the current prosperity, so the destruction of planetary weapons was truly strict. Not to mention that the three major Celestial Empires supervised each other, the Dragon Race also supervised in this regard. However, once the technology existed, it was not that easy to completely destroy it. At such a time, everything was an unknown. And more importantly, looking at the current battle situation in space, Li Hao and the others could all see that the First Royal Fleet was completely in a passive position of being beaten. The Dead Ash Fleet was very powerful, and the pirate groups that suddenly appeared from the flanks—damn it, whose pirate groups were so well-equipped? Except for the displayed skull ghost faces and the lack of obvious markings, they were no different from regular troops.

A third-party force must have joined. To rebel, how could one not have a foolproof plan?

Wan Jie. Yi Mogu's mouth curled into a cold smile. Ending the battlefield within five hours—the situation at Diwu Star was completely under his control. The Mogu Family had originally controlled the Empire's intelligence department. Although Shilada had established a new department to counter them in the past two years, how could she compare to Yi Mogu, who had been doing this work for years? The cost of the two reinforcements was high, but compared to seizing the Ozil Empire, what did this bit of cost count for?

Shilada's expression was grave. The casualties of the First Fleet were increasing. If this continued, it would be difficult to drag it out until the reinforcements arrived. There must be a traitor at the Star Gate; otherwise, these pirate groups could not have entered. She had underestimated Yi Mogu's determination.

Aoliweina and the others were all a bit anxious. In this situation, she would take Kuta wherever she went. If large-scale weapons of mass destruction were not used, even if Yi Mogu won, he would not do anything to her and Kuta. It was just that she did not want such a result to actually happen.

"Princess, is there any other way? If it really doesn't work, I suggest the Princess evacuate from here. Their target is you," Aoliweina said, thinking that there must be other

secret passages in the Ruling, right? In fact, as long as the Princess was still there, Yi Mogu's plan would be very difficult to realize.

Hermia shook her head. Shilada was fighting, and all the people of the Ruling, including Los, were fighting. If these people died in battle, what meaning would her living have left?

Revenge?

Rather than revenge, it was better to find a way to win this war.

"Princess, Gaia of Lastaya will follow you and fight to the last moment!" Gaia gathered his courage

and said. Perhaps his power was not enough, but he had determination!

"Princess, if you are determined to fight, I suggest we go to the front line of the Anthem."

Ning Long said, "I will protect your safety."

At this moment, Ning Long was no longer low-key, bringing out the determination that belonged to the Dragon Race, and looked at Li Hao.

"Li Hao, what do you say?"

Li Hao smiled slightly and looked at Hermia, "We are all members of the Judgment. If necessary, I will be responsible for dealing with Haosen." Luo Bi and Cheng Konghai naturally followed Li Hao's lead. Moreover, because of the connection with Fronzo, Cheng Konghai would definitely fight to the death; the kid had a straightforward personality and would absolutely never abandon his kin and brothers. Li Hao and the other two were not numerous, but they were definitely top-tier combatants. However, it still came back to that same problem: the Judgment was not the main battlefield.

Suddenly, Defatandisi coughed a few times, "Your Highness Princess, I have heard that the Ozil Empire possesses a War Super Weapon passed down from the Galaxy Era, which is also the authority of every generation of Emperors. If this power were available, it could completely resolve the crisis at hand. This might also be an important reason why Yi Mogu launched the rebellion before you ascended the throne."

Everyone looked at Hermia and Defatandisi. Ning Long also had a grave expression. The War Super Weapon was a product originating from the Galactic Empire era; it was the most terrifying force of the Galactic Empire's invincible Galactic Expeditionary Force, indestructible, and also the ultimate Slaughter God Weapon of the Celestial. It was just that it had already become a legend in the Star River, but there were also rumors that every generation of the Ozil Emperor would inherit this power. Aside from bloodline, this was the key to power, and if it existed, it would certainly be on Diwu Star.
