Chapter 1 The Gathering Storm

Although High Priest Shirada had been warned by Lavitan, the only force she could mobilize recently was the First Royal Fleet on Diwu Star. Comparing the strength of both sides, Yi Moggu, besides the Death Gray Legion, had clearly mixed in other legions, totaling more than five thousand ships, while the First Fleet only had two thousand.

Through the power of the Council of Elders, the Death Gray Fleet was extremely well-equipped, actually better than the Royal First Fleet. Shirada was filled with regret. Although she had made some preparations and continuously laid down smoke screens, seeing the scale of the fleet, she knew that Yi Moggu had been planning a rebellion from the very beginning.

A great battle was imminent.

After the Death Gray Fleet began large-scale jumps, the major families had already received the news. Shirada immediately issued military orders. The Capule family's Second Fleet, a member of the Royalist faction, and the Dirac family's Fifth Fleet were rushing to Diwu Star as quickly as possible. However, the fastest, the Capule family, would need 21 hours, and the Fifth Fleet would need 60 hours. As for the other fleets, due to various considerations, it was best not to count on them. At this time, just not joining Yi Moggu's rebellion was already good enough.

At this moment, the Judgment Hymn had already begun. Hausen had returned with the Death Hand Battle Group and was already engaged with Loserick's Guards. The enemy's numbers were several times greater than the Guards, but the Hymn had the protection of energy shields, so Hausen was unable to break through for the time being.

The Death Hand Battle Group was Yi Moggu's core Tianwu (Celestial Warrior) legion, always executing various war missions. It was definitely the Ozir Empire's strongest legion.

Di Di Ao, Haisen, and others were preparing to return to their respective homes, anxious about their clansmen. For non-Ozir people, the best option at this time was to wait and see.

Even if the Yi Moggu Legion occupied Judgment, they were unlikely to move against them. Yi Moggu was only rebelling, not making an enemy of the entire galaxy. In fact, the rampaging Yi Moggu Death Hand Legion was indeed spreading information that the Yi Moggu family wanted to eliminate the traitors around Princess Hermia and that it had nothing to do with the other major civilizations. Those who supported the Yi Moggu family would become Yi Moggu's allies. For most people, remaining silent was the best option, unless they had a particularly deep relationship with Hermia…

Helena, Ning Long, Olivia, Kuta, Gaia, Gasmie, and Li Hao and Robbie had arrived at the Tianwu Center. Hermia was also at the Tianwu Center. Defatandis and Dali Peng had arrived earlier. The Seventh Art's Hymn Warriors had joined the Judgment Defense War. The Tianwu Center was the safest place in the entire Judgment and also the location of the Eternal Crystal. To control Judgment, besides capturing Hermia, another thing that had to be occupied was the Eternal Crystal, which was related to the entire Judgment's energy.

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

At this moment, a large number of Tianwu warriors in Death Hand-marked Tianwu battle armor were attacking the Judgment Hymn's energy dome, firing particle cannons like crazy.

Fronzo, in energy form, controlled the Eternal Crystal to resist, adjusting the energy distribution. In the frontline image, Loserick's Guards were already engaged with the Death Hand Battle Group.

There was no room for maneuver on either side. This was the most brutal rebellion. Whichever side failed would not have a good end.

Li Hao looked at the battle situation and then at Hermia. Hermia was also looking at Li Hao with familiar eyes. Although the eyes were different, Li Hao still recognized them. These were Kasika's eyes.

But now was not the time to get to the bottom of things. He and Hermia were definitely on the same front. Not to mention the mission, if Hausen succeeded, it would not only be a problem for the three of them. With Hausen's personality, even if he didn't attack the solar system, just setting a trap would be enough for humanity to suffer.

"Your Highness, the key now is not within the Judgment Hymn. Although the Death Hand Legion is not weak, it is not easy to break into Judgment," Defatandis said in a calm voice that naturally inspired trust. "Most of the Tianwu warriors have already joined the resistance, and other races are staying in their residences without any disturbances. This is the best situation. The key is whether General Shirada can stop the Death Gray Fleet in space. I am worried that besides the Death Gray Fleet, there are other forces involved." There were probably not a few who coveted the Ozir Empire's interests. Since ancient times, rebels have liked to find outside allies.

Even if they broke into the Judgment Hymn, the Tianwu Center would not be so easy to attack. The entire defense system had been activated, and the Eternal Crystal made the Tianwu Center's defense even stronger. Under Fronzo's control, it was a battle fortress.

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

Defatandis was also a little surprised. He thought Hermia would panic, but the princess's reaction was very stable, and her thinking was very clear.

"We know this, and the Yi Moggu family definitely knows it too. I am worried that once the rescue fleet arrives, they will resort to desperate measures and use forbidden weapons on Diwu Star."

Everyone's expression changed. Planetary weapons were strictly prohibited after the galactic war. Those that were sealed were sealed, and those that were destroyed were destroyed. Research into the technology was also prohibited. But who could guarantee that the Yi Moggu family wouldn't get their hands on them? This wasn't the human kind of scratching-the-surface cannon. The Tianren's planetary weapons could be launched by a main battleship and could directly detonate a planet.

Everyone's mood sank. In this level of war, Li Hao and the others had no say. Even if they had adapted to the use of Zhou Li (Cosmic Force) extremely quickly in terms of soul ability, and even reached a high level, they couldn't catch up in technology in a short period of time, not to mention this scale of interstellar war. The Kepler War that Li Hao and the others had experienced had a large number of warships, but the power level was not comparable.

At this moment, in space, the two sides' fleets had already engaged. The interstellar warships' defenses and attack power, and even the flexibility of the warships, far exceeded that of human fleets. Li Hao, Robbie, and Cheng Konghai watched carefully.

One day, humanity might also face such a war. What would they do then?

Humanity once believed that their warships might be backward, but two against one, or if that didn't work, five against one, or even ten against one should be enough. Quantitative change could lead to qualitative change. This was the theory of a considerable number of people. Looking at the interstellar war in front of them, this concept could be directly strangled.

The most common was the ring-shaped spaceship. This high-speed moving spacecraft had amazing flexibility and fierce firepower. Not to mention those large interstellar spaceships that released terrifying energy in space. Various particle cannons reflected the sky. If one only looked at the combat power of the Royal First Fleet and the Death Gray Fleet, it didn't seem to be much different, and the other side's fleet hadn't unleashed its full power, maintaining long-range strikes, because getting too close would enter Diwu Star's defense range. In that case, they could hold out for a long time, but this fantasy was soon shattered.

Space fluctuations continued to appear in Diwu Star's star field, and batches of spaceships appeared. Clearly, Yi Moggu's trump card was revealed. A large number of spaceships with skull grimace markings appeared, attacking the Ozir Royal First Fleet from all directions.

The situation immediately changed. The Royal Fleet began to be suppressed in terms of firepower. The Tianren's interstellar warships all had extremely strong defensive shields, but how long could such shields last?

And in the Judgment Hymn, Hausen was also going crazy, leading the Death Hand Battle Group in a frantic attack. Mechanical races were also setting up large instruments to dissolve the Judgment Hymn's defense system.

He had been in the Judgment Hymn for five years. How could Hausen not understand the situation of the Judgment Hymn? In fact, when the rebellion had just started, he had been a little apprehensive, but when it really started, especially after personally killing several Guards, he completely let go and went crazy. Death and fire swept through, leaving a trail of casualties.

Although he had inexplicably lost to Li Hao, he was, after all, a former Heavenly Ladder number one.

Shirada, Loserick, and other committee members were not by Hermia's side. Helena and Ning Long couldn't leave, but if Fan Great Emperor was still there, or if the Great Emperor hadn't taken away so many core forces, Yi Moggu would simply be courting death. But now there was no other way. Otherwise, Yi Moggu wouldn't have the guts. The defensive shield was dead, and the mechanical race would always find a way to open an energy melt hole. Once there was a breakthrough, it would be troublesome to defend, and the battle situation would become even more tragic. But as Silian said, the Judgment Hymn was likely to drag on for more than 20 hours, but what about in space?

Robbie had lost his joy of victory. Not only him, but with the awakening of the soul power brought about by inviting the gods, everyone had confidence. They once believed that humanity was about to rise, and even as more humans broke through the shackles of the soul, humanity would become very, very strong.

But now they realized that the real gap was not Zhou Li (Cosmic Force), but star war power.

The Hymn system was an order mode that did not involve large-scale wars, but once a war between countries occurred, interstellar power and army size were the most important.

Although they didn't know if the other side had forbidden weapons, the Star River Alliance's management in this area was really very strict. It was also because the Silver River Era had indeed suffered unprecedented casualties and losses, and it took a long time to recover to the current prosperity. Therefore, the destruction of planetary weapons was really strict. The three major Tianren Empires supervised each other, not to mention the Dragon race also supervised in this area. But once the technology existed, it was not so easy to completely destroy. At this time, everything was unknown, and more importantly, looking at the current battle situation in space, Li Hao and others could see that the First Royal Fleet was completely in a passive position. The Death Gray Fleet was very powerful, and the pirate groups that suddenly appeared from the two wings, damn it, whose pirate groups were so well-equipped? Except for the skull grimace displayed and the lack of obvious markings, they were no different from regular troops.

A third party must have joined. To rebel, how could there not be a complete plan?

Wan Jie. Yi Moggu's lips curled into a sneer. He would end the battlefield within five hours. He had complete control of the situation on Diwu Star. The Yi Moggu family had always controlled the empire's intelligence department. Although Shirada had established a new department to fight against them in the past two years, how could it compare to Yi Moggu, who had been doing this kind of work for many years? The cost of the two reinforcements was very high, but compared to seizing the Ozir Empire, what was this to everyone?

Shirada's expression was grave. The First Fleet's casualties were increasing. At this rate, it would be difficult to hold out until reinforcements arrived. There must also be traitors at the Stargate. Otherwise, these pirate groups couldn't have come in. She underestimated Yi Moggu's determination.

Olivia and the others were a little anxious. In this situation, she would take Kuta wherever she went. If large-scale weapons of mass destruction were not used, even if Yi Moggu won, they wouldn't do anything to her and Kuta. It's just she didn't want such a result to actually occur. "Your Highness, are there any other methods? If it really doesn't work, I suggest that Your Highness evacuate from here. Their target is you," Olivia said, thinking that there must be other secret passages in the Judgment. In fact, as long as the princess was still there, Yi Moggu's plan would be difficult to achieve.

Hermia shook her head. Shirada was fighting, and everyone in the Judgment was fighting. If these people died in battle, what would be the meaning of her living?

Revenge?

Instead of revenge, it would be better to find a way to win this war.

"Your Highness, Gaia of Rastaya will follow you and fight to the last moment!" Gaia said with courage. Perhaps his strength was not enough, but he had the determination!

"Your Highness, if you are determined to fight, I suggest we go to the front line of the Hymn."

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

At this moment, Ning Long was no longer low-key and showed the determination of the Dragon race, looking at Li Hao.

"Li Hao, what do you say?"

Li Hao smiled slightly, looking at Hermia, "We are all members of the Judgment. If needed, I will be responsible for solving Hausen." Robbie and Cheng Konghai, of course, followed Li Hao's lead. Moreover, because of Fronzo's relationship, Cheng Konghai would definitely fight to the death. This kid was a straightforward person and would never abandon his relatives and brothers. Li Hao and the other two were not in large numbers, but they were definitely top combat power. But the problem was still that the Judgment was not the main battlefield.

Suddenly, Defatandis coughed a few times, "Your Highness, I have heard that the Ozir Empire has a War Super Weapon inherited from the Silver River Era, which is also the authority of each generation of emperors. If there is this power, it can completely resolve the current crisis. This may also be an important reason why Yi Moggu launched a rebellion before you took the throne."

Everyone looked at Hermia and Defatandis. Ning Long's expression was also grave. The War Super Weapon originated from the Silver River Empire era. It was the most terrifying force of the Silver River Empire's invincible Galactic Expeditionary Force, indestructible, and also the Tianren's ultimate god-slaying weapon. But that was already a legend in the galaxy. But there were also rumors that each generation of Ozir Great Emperor would inherit this power. Besides bloodline, this was the key to power, and if there was one, it must be on Diwu Star.
