Chapter 833, A Good Start
There were many people who were willing to go to Xinghuo with Taishichen, and those who participated in the meeting on the Steel Flame Furnace eventually signed the document.
The main reason why they were willing to sign and finally "unite" together was, of course, the change in the objective environment.
In the past, before the collapse of the empire's unified local government system, there were inherent contradictions among the various forces.
In the past, there was at least an imperial order, which suppressed conflicts and prevented them from breaking out easily.
But after the catastrophe, the islandization brought about a huge disaster, which not only led to various crises such as aliens, chaos, cultists, and rebellion, but also almost made the cosmic and star domain governments incapable. These local governments have either been in name only after decades of turmoil, or have evolved into a single local force and lost control of other forces that were originally under its jurisdiction - this situation is more common.
For example, in the Wangyue Star Region, it is true that the star region government here survived. They also walked out of the isolated island and contacted about fifty surrounding worlds.
But in the Wangyue Star Region, they are not the most powerful force.
Although the Steel Flame Forge World only controlled 20 to 30 worlds around it, the strength of the Forge World itself, both in terms of output and military strength, was stronger than the fifty worlds of the Star Region Government combined. Not to mention, the two original war groups in the Moon Star Region, after entering Omgilia and being defeated in the fight against the Orcs, the remaining 200-odd warriors who broke out were all resting in the Steel Flame Forge and were controlled to a certain extent by the Mechanicus - otherwise their weapons and equipment would have been gone.
Mercenary Queen Tristan started out as a private armed force. Her father's generation was originally an interstellar pirate. After her successor, although the pirate group was in its heyday, she felt that it was not going to work, so she decided to accept the amnesty. At the same time, she understood that if she handed over her armed forces after the amnesty, she would only be eaten by others. So, she also used all means to continue to retain the military power in her hands, and transformed from a pirate group into a mercenary group. She relied on providing military protection to some planets and imperial caravans as a means of survival, and also got a merchant license to do some business herself. Occasionally, her troops would do some of their old business, as long as they were not discovered.
After the catastrophe, she took advantage of the chaos, occupied twenty or thirty surrounding worlds, proclaimed herself king, and became entangled with other forces.
The state religion also has a base in the Moon Star Region. As a shrine world, Komer quickly established connections with more than seventy surrounding worlds through devout prayers after the disaster. The planetary governors of these worlds were originally loyal believers of the state religion. After the disaster, they still maintained their faith and completely obeyed the command of the state religion, whether it was the resources of the planet or the army. At the same time, Komer also had a team of elite combat nuns.
Each family has its own strength, and each family also has its own conflicts and frictions. After the official rule of the Empire failed, they all tended to protect themselves while considering whether they could take advantage of the chaos to expand their ambitions. In addition, they also faced internal Chaos rebellion and external alien challenges... In this situation, they just missed the opportunity to assist the Ohm and Lia star field and curb the rise of the greenskins.
At that time, they were busy fighting for power, grabbing territory, and dealing with internal and external challenges. They had no time to care about the problems in the neighboring star field. That was because the threat had not yet reached them.
Now, this external environment has undergone a major change. Everyone knows what happened in Omgeria. Not to mention what will happen after the war between insects and beasts ends, even now, the insects and beasts that have overflowed from the three star tunnel exits No. 7, No. 8, and No. 9 in the Wangyue Star Region have already made them feel direct pressure.
Internal challenges and conflicts are not worth mentioning when it seems like everything is going to fail.
Especially after the alliance arrived.
It is said that it is just a vanguard, but even so, the military force under Taishichen's hands is already stronger than any of their respective forces alone.
Not to mention, there is an entire alliance standing behind them.
If they want to eliminate the deadly threat posed by insects and beasts, and get rid of the huge thunder of Ohmjilia next to them that can kill everyone, their only hope lies in the alliance.
We can't expect to find it in the center of Terra on the other side of the scarlet scar, right?
Under such objective conditions, they themselves have the realistic basis to be united and unified.
Otherwise, just by threatening the meeting, Taishi Chen wanted the Komerians to give up the Holy Energy Crystals that they regarded as sacred objects? He wanted the greedy merchants to give up the trade routes and trade fleets? He wanted the Steel Flame Furnace to serve as the front line of the battlefield and fully support the war?
Impossible.
This kind of thing will not be handed over unless it is life-threatening.
Of course, this does not mean that Taishichen’s work is useless.
The arrival of the vanguard army led by him is itself a great opportunity to unify the Wangyue Star Region.
Without his arrival, perhaps the Moon Watching people would eventually unite, but it would probably take months or years, and there would be plenty of time to argue and waste. By that time, half of the Moon Watching Star Region might have been engulfed in war, and it would be meaningless.
In addition, Taishichen's own words and deeds, as well as his interactions with various mortal forces, were also quite tactful.
He is different from the general impression of Space Marines, especially from the Blood Sharks who do not treat mortals as human beings. They are completely different extremes.
Just like the gene seed of the Angel of Death, it seems that people are born with the tendency to carry little secrets and form small circles. As a sub-group of the Dragon Legion, the Spears of the Dragon King are also very friendly to mortals, just like their parent group and their brother groups.
Taishichen's attitude towards these mortal forces was not harsh. After the initial meeting, which was somewhat of a warning, Taishichen met with many people in private. His gentle performance calmed down the uneasy parties.
His gentleness is very meaningful and effectively binds together many forces.
The first batch of troops and resources arrived quickly.
During this process, Taishichen and the vanguard he led did not wait in vain. He led the soldiers of the regiment and the elite of the alliance to fight the first counterattack and won a good start.
This victory immediately reduced the crisis of the Steel Flame Furnace.
Tai Shichen's vanguard army directly broke through the orc army that had overflowed into the Wangyue Star Region and invaded dozens of worlds, and recaptured the "Mingmu Star" where Exit No. 7 was located.
This is a node planet, the one near the Moon-Watching side of Exit 7 that connects the Moon-Watching Star Region and the Ohm-Geria Star Region. It used to be a fortress world, but now it is a ruin. The orcs are almost tearing down the human fortress inside, and only a small number of human troops are lingering in a scattered and unorganized manner.
Taishichen's arrival saved them, and he led them and the elite vanguard troops, like nails, firmly to Mingmu Star.
Their counterattack naturally attracted the surrounding greenskins to return and besiege. At the same time, the orc army that overflowed from Omgeria naturally targeted Mingmu Star as its first target.
But this situation is exactly what Taishichen hoped to see.
Come on, all the pressure from all sides, I will bear it all.
After blocking the entrance where the orcs were pouring into the Moon-Watching Star Region, and attracting the orcs already in the star region to come and besiege them, the pressure on other places would naturally be reduced a lot.
On the one hand, it relieved the pressure on the planets invaded by the greenskins. On the other hand, it also created an opportunity for the "Moon-gazing Legion" to annihilate those orcs and regain lost territory.
The so-called "Moon-Watching Legion" is naturally the local military force assembled by various local forces in the Moon-Watching Star Region.
Tai Shichen really put himself in the game, and fully believed that these local forces would fight well and live up to their mission.
However, even though he believed in it, he would not let the Moon-Watching natives fight on their own. That would be like putting his own regiment, the expeditionary vanguard, and the entire situation in the Forward Universe into the hands of a group of people who were not trustworthy.
The risks are too high.
The main combat force of the Moon-Watching Legion was of course made up of local forces, but Taishichen kept his fourth company commander, Ricardo Lazio, as the temporary commander of the legion. Along with him were his entire third company, plus more than 200 warriors left from the two warbands that failed in the fight against the orcs a few years ago.
These Space Marines were almost considered as their own troops by the Steel Flame Forge, but how could Space Marines be easily subdued? When the Alliance arrived, the entire Dragon King's Spear arrived in full force, and they were all Space Marines, so they naturally accepted the offer.
Especially after having in-depth conversations with Ricardo, the remnants of the two chapters, after learning about the Alliance's strategies for each chapter, began to hope to revive the chapters - if they relied solely on themselves, both chapters would only have about a hundred people left, and would be on the verge of annihilation.
Perhaps only the alliance can help them recover quickly.
Even though they themselves found it incredible, the alliance had many similar cases to refer to, and they couldn't help but believe it.
But in short, what they have to do now is to cooperate well with the actions of Ricardo, the third captain of the Spear of Dragon King, and supervise together, or even personally take part in the destruction of the invading orc troops.
This military operation lasted for two months, and it can be basically declared that the human side has won a preliminary victory.
The most tragic battlefield was, of course, on Mingmu Star. For two months, the flames of war that enveloped this planet had never subsided. The Alliance Vanguard was here, facing a huge number of greenskins and beating them back.
Especially in the rear, after the operation to wipe out the greenskin troops was successful, Mingmuxing's pressure was reduced a lot.
Although there were still orc troops emerging from the other side, at least Mingmu Star no longer had to suffer from multiple attacks, and the logistics fleet's transportation was largely restored. The engineering team of the Steel Flame Furnace arrived in this world and worked hard to repair and rebuild the planet's defense system.
The main force of the Moon Watching Legion also gradually moved into Mingmu Star, replacing the alliance army that had fought fiercely for two months.
The so-called "unbroken defense line" by Taishichen has completed the first step, which is also the most difficult step.
The Moon Star Region was the most affected by the spillover of the Insect-Beast War, and Exit 7 was under the greatest pressure. Now, Exit 7 could be initially declared blocked, and the biggest problem had been solved first, so the rest would be much easier.
Ricardo continued to lead the Moon Watching Corps. Tai Shichen left two companies with them to be responsible for the defense of the entire Moon Watching Star Region. Ricardo would follow their successful experience in taking down Exit 7 and gradually solve the problems of Exits 8 and 9.
It shouldn't be a big problem, as the wars at exits 8 and 9 were far less brutal than at exit 7. There weren't many orcs, and only three or five worlds were invaded by each, so blocking them wasn't a big problem.
Tai Shichen himself led a large force of the vanguard army to the neighboring Yanjiu Star Region.
In the Yanjiu star region, there are two exits connected to Omgeria, namely No. 5 and No. 6.
After solving the Yanjiu star field, Tai Shichen still has three star fields to go to.
Tai Shichen has to visit each of the five star regions surrounding Omgeria.
Including the Ohm and Lia star field itself, there are a total of six star fields, which basically account for most of the territory of the Forward Universe. There are only nine star fields in this universe.
His time is short and his mission is huge.
In fact, it can be basically considered that as long as the insect beast problem in Ohmgeria is solved, it is basically equivalent to the alliance completing the recovery of the entire Forward Universe.
According to the policy formulated by Taishichen, they want to build a united front among the five star regions. When the war between insects and beasts is resolved, it means that the alliance has completed the recovery of this united front. At that time, it will certainly be impossible for them to break away from the system of the Dark Side Control Committee.
As for the remaining three star fields in this universe, they are no longer a problem.
By winning the war between insects and beasts, the expeditionary force will naturally gain great legitimacy and take back the remaining three star regions. It is estimated that there will be no need for any military action and it can be accomplished by issuing an order.
They didn't even have to win the battle. As long as the expeditionary force showed that they were committed to solving the big problem of Omgeria, they would be able to gain the support of the entire universe during the war.
At that time, what the expeditionary force has to do is to send the Thunder Torch Tower to various worlds, and then find a way to gather the power of these worlds. Then in the future they will become a member of the Dark Side Control Committee or even the Alliance.
As long as the alliance can win the insect-beast war.
