Chapter 506: The Princess' Rebellion
The time when the "Princess's Rebellion" broke out was actually later than Gu Hang had expected.
Earlier, he even thought that when the Iron Rage Stone broke out, he might not have returned to the Dragon Eagle Star Region yet.
At this point, he believes that the alliance still has a lot of credit.
If it wasn't for that bloody fight that broke the backbone of the Fury Corps, making the "Fury" in the middle of the Iron Fury Stone temporarily unusable, then the Princess' Rebellion might have been launched earlier.
Although he didn't want to go to war, it was not up to him.
Being able to beat up the Fury Legion and delay the Iron Fury for several months is actually quite good.
Thinking rationally, Iron Fury Stone's current choice was expected.
Everyone knows that they are going to rebel, and they also know that everyone else knows it.
The atmosphere has been heated up to this point, we have no choice but to oppose it.
However, no one expected the situation to explode like this.
The great rebellion started by Iron Fury Stone was as fierce as fire!
In February 230 of the 10th millennium since the official establishment of the Empire, the Princess' Rebellion broke out.
Iron Fury Stone made a public announcement, clearly stating 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 the Spider Web Universe, all 14 star regions should obey the dispatch of the Iron Armored Warband and cooperate with the actions of the Iron Armored Warband.
"This is for the good of the Empire."
That's what they said.
The Holy Terra Empire government immediately declared the Ironclad, Fury of Flame, and Stone Shield to be traitors to the Empire.
The Spider Web Domain government immediately followed up with the announcement, and required the imperial forces in various parts of the domain to guard their homelands; the Star Army and the Imperial Navy, which had already completed their assembly, began to launch a tentative attack on the Princess Star Domain.
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 Rage Stone was inevitable, the Empire finally reached a consensus and could make military preparations against the Iron Rage Stone. However, the Empire's bloated and inefficient political and military institutions were simply unable to act swiftly.
Over the past year, a lot of time has been wasted on meetings and discussions.
After finally deciding which troop to send out and getting the leader of the troop to accept the order, they would be stuck again because of mobilizing supplies for the troop;
Holy Terra personally sent out messengers to contact some other warbands in the Spider Web Realm, except for the Iron Fury Stone, but many of those messengers have not even arrived in the Spider Web Realm;
Several internal tribunals have already sent inquiries to the Silver Tribunal, especially the Heretic Tribunal and the Vigilance Tribunal. These two tribunals have strongly demanded that the Silver Tribunal cut ties with the Iron Rage Stone and that they conduct self-examination and self-correction and clean up their own internal affairs.
It was cleared, but it didn't move.
An elite team of the Ironclads intervened in the purge within the Silver Inquisition, and the faction that leaned towards the Empire in terms of political attitude was eliminated. A squadron of battle sisters sent by the Inquisition, a battalion of loyal stormtroopers, and the two inquisitors of the Inquisition were also 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 for them to find any way to deal with it at the moment.
This has been the situation on the Imperial side for the past few months: preparations have really been made.
What can I do if I am not well prepared?
Is the Empire itself aware of this situation?
In fact, I still have a rough idea in my mind.
They knew that their current preparations were definitely not enough, so most of the time, they hoped that the Iron Rage Stone could be activated later; the power within the Spider Web Universe and even the Princess Universe could delay the Iron Rage Stone for a longer period of time.
But... the situation still collapsed.
And it is even more earth-shattering than pessimistic people imagine.
I originally thought that there were at least some forces loyal to the Empire in the Princess Star Region. Even if these forces could not escape being purged by the Iron Fury Stone in the end, they should at least be able to hold on for a while, right?
Eh? No.
Couldn't hold on at all.
That month, almost all of the 472 worlds in the entire Princess Star Region announced that they had changed their flags and stood on the side of Iron Fury Stone.
All Astra Militarum and Imperial Navy troops were placed under Iron Rage's command system.
Rebellion?
Not none at all.
However, the Iron Fury Stone was well prepared for this. This was their home base, and they had been operating here for too long. They had even expected the slight resistance. They knew exactly where the problem would occur, and had already deployed personnel there. After the announcement was issued, they immediately extinguished the signs as soon as they appeared.
The entire Princess Star Region changed its flag and banner in this way.
If the empire could barely accept this, then what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
By the third month, within the Spider Web Universe, around the Princess Star Domain, two more star domains almost completely changed their flags and joined the Iron Rage Stone.
It was not as simple as the Princess Star Region, where brutal bloody conflicts had even broken out. But the Iron Fury Stones were quick and fierce enough to quickly resolve even a very intense battle with their strong forces and tough attitude.
A joint fleet formed by the Spider Web Universe, under the command of the top leaders, brought with it several Star Army legions, and hastily entered the control area of the Iron Rage Stone, trying to stop the wave caused by the Iron Rage Stone from spreading too much.
However, the fleet disappeared eighteen days after entering.
It was surrounded by the fleet under Iron Fury Stone, and a small-scale battle broke out between the two sides. Then Captain Paul, without any guards or weapons, took a small boat and personally boarded the flagship of the fleet to have an exchange with the commander who had the rank of admiral.
Then, the commander led his fleet to surrender...
