Chapter 506, The Princess' Rebellion
The 'Princess Rebellion' broke out later than Gu Hang expected.
Earlier, he even thought that when the Iron Fury Stone attacked, he might not have returned to the Dragon Eagle Star Territory.
At this point, he believes that the alliance still has a lot to contribute.
If it weren't for that bloody battle that broke the backbone of the Wrathful Flames and made the 'Wrath' in the middle of the Iron Wrath Stone basically temporarily unusable, then maybe the Princess's Great Rebellion really happened. will be activated earlier.
Although he didn't want to fight, it didn't depend on him.
Being able to defeat the Raging Flames and delay the Iron Wrath Stone for several months is actually quite good.
Thinking rationally, the current choice of 'Iron Fury Stone' was expected.
Everyone knows that they are going to rebel, and they also know that everyone else knows.
The atmosphere has been heightened to such an extent that it can no longer be done otherwise.
However, no one expected that the situation would be so explosive.
This is what they say.
In fact, the entire political faction headed by the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Justice Ogüren has been preparing to destroy the Iron Fury Stone by force for a long time. However, in the early years, Holy Terra had not yet reached a consensus on this, and there were still supporting factions like Norberto, so that the relevant preparations could not be fully carried out. What Ou Curen and the others could mobilize were also limited. It's just the strength of one's own faction to hold on to the limit and do some defensive work.
Several internal organs of the Tribunal have already issued inquiries to the Silver Tribunal, especially the Heretic Tribunal and the Vigilance Tribunal. These two tribunals forcefully requested the Silver Tribunal to cut the Iron Fury Stone and ask them to conduct self-examination. Self-correction, self-cleaning internally.
"This is for the good of the Empire."
After Norberto was killed and the war between the Empire and the Iron Fury Stone became inevitable, the Empire finally reached a consensus and could make military preparations for the Iron Fury Stone. However, the empire's bloated and inefficient political and military institutions were simply unable to act quickly.
In the past year, a lot of time has been wasted in meetings and discussions.
The Holy Terra Empire government immediately declared that the Iron Armor Chapter, the Furious Flame Chapter, and the Rock Shield Chapter were traitors to the empire.
The great rebellion launched by Iron Fury Stone was as violent as fire!
Iron Fury Stone issued a public declaration, clarifying that he is the guardian of the entire Queen's Star Domain, and even the guardian of the entire Spider Web Universe. All 14 star regions from the Queen's Star Region to the Spider Web Space Region should obey the Iron Armor Chapter's dispatch and cooperate with the Iron Armor Chapter's actions.
It was difficult to decide which unit to send out, and the leader of the unit accepted the order, but then he was stuck in mobilizing supplies for the unit;
Holy Terra personally sent envoys to contact some other battle groups in the Spider Web Territory except Iron Fury Stone, but many of those envoys have not even reached the Spider Web Territory yet;
From this perspective, the empire must still be prepared.
The Spider Web Space Government immediately followed up with the announcement and asked the imperial forces in various parts of the space to stay at home. The Astra Militarum and the Imperial Navy, which had completed their assembly, began to launch a tentative attack on the Princess Star Territory.
In February 10, the 230th millennium since the empire was officially established, the Imperial Rebellion broke out.
It was cleared, but it was not cleared.
An elite team of the Iron Armor Chapter intervened in the purge within the Silver Tribunal. In terms of political attitudes, the factions that favored the empire were eliminated. A squadron of Battle Sisters sent by the Heretic Tribunal, a squadron of loyal Stormtroopers, and the inquisitors of these two Tribunals were all wiped out.
The Heretic Tribunal and the Vigilance Tribunal were furious about this. Although they had stepped up their efforts to recruit new forces, for a while, it was really difficult to find any way to deal with it. This has been the situation on the Imperial side for several months: preparations have been made.
If you are not well prepared, what can you do?
Does the empire itself know about this situation?
In fact, I still have something to worry about.
They knew that the current preparations were definitely not enough, so they often hoped that the Iron Fury Stone would be activated later; that the power within the Spider Web Universe and even the Queen's Universe would be able to hold back the Iron Fury Stone later. long time.
But... the situation still collapsed.
And it is even more shattering than those who hold a pessimistic attitude imagine.
I originally thought that there were at least some forces loyal to the empire in the Queen's Star Territory. Even if these forces cannot escape in the end and will be purged by the Iron Fury Stone, they should be able to persist for a while at least, right?
Eh? No.
Couldn't hold on at all.
That month, almost all of the 472 worlds in the entire Princess Star Territory announced that they would change their banners and stand on the side of Iron Fury Stone.
All Astra Militarum and Imperial Navy units were brought under the command system of Iron Fury Stone.
Revolt?
Not at all.
However, Iron Fury Stone is really well prepared for this. This is their home base. They have been operating it for too long, and the slight resistance was even expected by them. They knew exactly where problems would arise, so they already had people deployed. After the announcement was made, these signs were immediately eliminated as soon as they appeared.
The entire Princess Star Territory just changed its banner.
If this point was barely acceptable to the empire, then what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
By the third month, within the Spider Web Universe and around the Queen's Star Domain, two more star domains almost completely changed their banners and joined the Iron Fury Stone.
It's not as simple as the Queen's Star Territory. There have even been brutal bloody conflicts. But Tienushi's actions are fast enough and fierce enough. Even if it is a very intense battle, they must use strong troops and a tough attitude to quickly finish it.
A joint fleet formed in the spider web domain, under the command of high-level officials, led multiple Astra Militarum legions and hurriedly entered the area controlled by the Iron Fury Stone in an attempt to contain the wave caused by the Iron Fury Stone from spreading too far. .
However, this fleet disappeared eighteen days after entering.
It was surrounded by the fleet under Iron Fury Stone, and a small battle broke out between the two sides. Then Captain Paul took a small boat without any guards or weapons, and boarded the flagship of the fleet in person. The commanders with the rank of admiral had some exchanges.
Then, the commander took the fleet and surrendered...
