Chapter 1004 - 760: The Power of Alliance

Almost simultaneously, Emperor Hong En’s eyes bulged, "What? Form an alliance with Ruosha?"

"Correct, although we are enemies, I must concede that her strength is undeniable, being able to fight me to a draw. The Nightmare Knights under her command possess immense power. If we have to face more Black Iron fleets, I believe Ruosha would definitely be a formidable ally," Isrile said.

Emperor Hong En frowned and pondered for a moment, "You make sense, I’ll contact the Emperor of Azure Sky right away!"

Originally, the emergence of the Black Iron fleet had already startled the entire plane, with everyone thinking that the end days had come for the Azure Sky and Hong En Empires. Some smaller empires had even made preparations to welcome the fleeing talents from the two empires, and some who were oppressed during peacetime thought this would be their moment to retaliate and perhaps rise to become the strongest empire.

While the battle was still ongoing, some smaller nations had already started to approach the Azure Sky and Hong En Empires to recruit talents.

But Ruosha and Isrile managed to defeat the Black Iron fleet!

Those immensely huge warships, which ordinary cannons could not penetrate, had completely vanished!

It turned out that Ruosha and Isrile were so powerful!

The smaller nations that thought the Azure Sky and Hong En Empires were doomed were dumbfounded. They assumed that with the fall of these two empires, they could rise to greatness. But the tables turned, and they successfully held their ground! Immediately, those smaller nations sent envoys to apologize and offer compensation. However, both the Azure Sky and Hong En Empires had no time to bother with them. After all, the crisis had not been fully averted, and no one knew when the Black Iron fleet might reappear.

Not long after, the Emperor of Azure Sky and Emperor Hong En suddenly met on a small country’s planet one day. After a brief conversation, both sides signed a temporary alliance treaty. This treaty meant that they would form an alliance for the foreseeable future, to jointly combat the Black Iron Empire. Ruosha, leader of the Nightmare Knights, and the Giant Beast Empress also announced a temporary alliance.

This alliance decision shook the entire plane, as everyone could see that the Azure Sky and Hong En Empires had been almost at odds. But now, due to the Black Iron Empire, the two empires had actually formed an alliance, and former enemies Ruosha and Isrile also temporarily allied. At this point, this new alliance was incredibly powerful, even having the capacity to unite the entire plane!

Some smaller nations even started to get nervous. If the Black Iron fleet did not reappear, would these two nations take the opportunity to truly unify the entire plane?

But soon after, the vast Black Iron fleet appeared again. This time, three thousand Black Iron warships emerged, and what somewhat reassured Ruosha and Isrile was that these Black Iron warships didn’t appear to have any improvements; only their number had increased.

This time, the three thousand Black Iron warships did not split up but headed straight for the Azure Sky Empire. And without a doubt, Ruosha and Isrile were already prepared on their way.

While still outside the range of the ship cannons, the main gun of Whitestar had already begun firing, sweeping across. After adding more than twenty Power Cores last time, the firepower of Whitestar’s main gun had significantly increased. The output that was once instantaneous became continuous, and as Whitestar fired, it also turned slightly. The huge beam swept through space, and the distant Black Iron warships were immediately destroyed in droves!

Keep in mind, the main gun of Whitestar had the power to pierce through an entire planet with one shot. Although this shot was a sweeping one, it was not hitting a gigantic planet but rather a fleet of warships.

After a single shot, nearly a hundred warships were destroyed. However, this time the Black Iron warships did not retreat but continued to accelerate forward.

"There’s still time for another shot! Don’t rush in!" Ruosha told Isrile, who was lurking nearby.

"I’m waiting for your signal!" Isrile said.

As the Black Iron warships drew closer and closer, in the blink of an eye, they had entered the range of the main cannons! Over two thousand Black Iron warships fired simultaneously, and shields immediately appeared on Whitestar for defense. This time, the fire was extremely dense, and surprisingly, concentrated on a single area. If Whitestar hadn’t just been fitted with over twenty Giant Power Cores, it’s very possible that a single shot like that could have destroyed the surface of Whitestar!

"You bastards are really pushing your luck, huh? Stop charging the main cannon and fire immediately!"

The massive main cannon of Whitestar unleashed deadly energy, and at the same time, Whitestar began to spin rapidly. The energy once again shattered the approaching Black Iron warships, but there were fewer than before, and more Black Iron warships were only stripped of their surface armor, yet their cannons did not cease firing.

"Charge!"

As the main cannon fired, Ruosha roared loudly.

With the force from the main cannon’s discharge, the Phantom warship deactivated stealth mode, and tens of thousands of Giant Beasts swarmed out. They first charged at the damaged warships, and without much effort, those ships immediately lost power. Countless Nightmare Knights also surged out from Whitestar. These Nightmare Knights were not as large as the Giant Beasts, but they won in numbers. Under the cover of the cannons of Whitestar, the Nightmare Knights also charged forward. Even though some of the Nightmare Knights were shattered, their parts could continuously reassemble.

These Black Iron warships, though massive, faced immediate tragedy once boarded. Because inside, there were no defensive measures—they had probably never considered that someone could invade them.

One after another, Black Iron warship lost power, and the overwhelming number of Giant Beasts and Nightmare Knights took a huge advantage!

Boom!

A Black Iron warship actually exploded on its own. And after that, all of the Black Iron warships also exploded. Whether they were intact or not!

Are they giving up?

Three thousand Black Iron warships, three thousand Power Cores, simply discarded?

If you don’t want them, we’ll take them!

Salvage the battlefield!

The Nightmare Knights and Giant Beasts began to search everywhere for Power Cores; inside the Black Iron warships, these should be the only things leftover, and surely the only useful things.

Once all the cores were cleaned up, Whitestar once again absorbed all the metal debris from the surrounding space. On one hand, these resources were quite decent, and on the other hand, of course, there was no desire to leave behind anything that could potentially be useful. And after this battle, still no information about the Black Iron Empire was obtained.

And the location of this Black Iron fleet’s appearance was completely different from the last time.

Ruosha was extremely annoyed.

"These bastards, daring to mess with me? I’ll hold out against you no matter what it takes! No matter where you’re from, as long as you didn’t just pop into existence, I’m going to devour you today!"

A complete victory!

Against the three thousand Black Iron fleet, a complete victory!

The Emperors from the Hong En Empire and the Azure Sky Empire, who were once enemies, were now almost hugging each other and crying.

Not long ago, they thought that once the Black Iron fleet appeared, they were doomed. But now, the history that was destined for destruction was rewritten! It was a matter of life and death!

The entire Plane was stunned.

How powerful are the Nightmare Knight Order and the Giant Beast Empress that they even defeated the Black Iron fleet recorded in history!

The Azure Sky Empire and the Hong En Empire began to celebrate.

But Ruosha and Isrile weren’t there because, during the cleanup of the battlefield, Ruosha indeed found something very remarkable.

"What is this?" Isrile asked.

"A Tetrahedron," Ruosha said.

"I know it’s a Tetrahedron, I’m asking what this Tetrahedron is for," Isrile said.

"If I knew what it was, I wouldn’t call it a Tetrahedron," Ruosha said.

"Wait! A Tetrahedron!? I remember Brother Long once said that he had also encountered a Tetrahedron!" Isrile’s eyes widened.

"A Divine Envoy!" Ruosha’s hand shook with fear. As a Tier 2 lifeform, a Divine Envoy almost had an overwhelming control over them.

"Calm down! If this is a Divine Envoy, it won’t come out that easily!" Isrile said.

"What shall we do? Throw it away?" Ruosha looked around, wondering if she should have a Nightmare Knight throw the Tetrahedron to some deserted place.

"No, keep it. It will definitely be useful when Long Yi comes," Isrile said.

"But why would a Divine Envoy appear here? Was it with the Black Iron fleet before?"

"I don’t know, but it’s better if it wasn’t. However, if it was, to be honest, we might have to face big trouble."

[...]

"Slowly, slowly..." Long Yi said within the contract.

Around Long Yi, Ai Lin, Whitestar, Little Zi, and Xiaodie, who had just joined this group, lowered their bodies.

Behind a small hill was a huge space rift with a diameter of kilometers. Behind the space rift was a different world, full of gigantic crystals that shimmered with brilliant light under the glow.

A vast metal structure stood among the crystals; that must be the Ancient Mage Tower. From afar, some people wearing tightly sealed protective armors could be seen walking back and forth, cutting and transporting the crystals. Their armors were covered with runes for defense, and Ai Lin, from a distance, noticed that the runes were simply used to filter air.

"This area is filled with Demon Power. Is that the Crystal Demon Plane through the rift?" Long Yi said.

"Looks like it, or maybe it’s another colony of the Crystal Demons," Ai Lin guessed.

"Whether it is or isn’t, I’ll just find an expert to ask," Long Yi said.

With those words, Long Yi summoned Lingling.

"If this really is the Crystal Demon Plane or a colony of some Crystal Demon, then Lingling should be able to quickly summon Belle’s consciousness," Long Yi said.

As Long Yi was speaking, what originally appeared to be the stiffly expressionless Lingling suddenly glowed all over. Then her eyes moved, and she saw Long Yi.

"Brother Long! It’s really you! Seeing you again is just so great!" Lingling hugged Long Yi tightly.

Long Yi smiled: "See, I told you so."

Clearly, at this moment, Lingling was Belle. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote and support. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
