Star Iron, building an empire starting with game development

Imperial Front - Command Planet

Sentinel-only temporary villa area

Inside Xing's villa, Xing was still lying in bed.

"Get up—!!!" The system's voice suddenly rang loudly in Xing's ears.

"Holy crap! What's going on? The bugs are attacking???" Xing jumped up immediately.

"The bugs didn't attack; I just wanted you to see yourself," the system said.

"Myself? Oh~ You're back so soon?" Xing nodded and looked at herself, seeing her original body.

"Of course, I've slightly tidied up the chaotic laws of this world, allowing me to find some loopholes; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so fast," the system said.

"However, there are still some troubles, since the body you occupied in hers is still there."

"Can we find her soul?" Xing asked the system, glancing at the sleeping girl's body beside her.

"You found it before you returned, here—this is her soul." The system pulled out an unstable little ball of light.

"Is this her soul? How can it be so weak?"

"I couldn't find her at first, but unexpectedly, I found her amidst all that chaotic and messy laws. I guess it's because her original form became an extremely rare Flag Sentinel," the system said.

"After all, considering the various laws of this world, the existence of Sentinels can be said to be the darlings of the world, and the Flag Sentinels are even more special among the darlings."

"I have this... indescribable feeling?" Xing wanted to say something.

"You feel there are all sorts of problems you can't quite put your finger on? It doesn't matter. Just leave all these problems to this world. After all, it's a special universe where the laws are so chaotic that life has evolved on its own," the system said.

"Alright, that's the only way." Xing nodded and said.

"So what should I do on her end?"

"I'll take care of her problem. After all, she shouldn't have been able to live anymore. If it weren't for you and your awakening as a flag sentinel, I wouldn't have been able to get her back into her body," the system said.

"I'm leaving it to you. I'm going out now." Xing felt everything that belonged to her, then opened a portal and left.

"You ran pretty fast." Elena smiled, then reached out and touched the soul in her hand to the body on the bed...

With a whoosh, a portal appeared on the steel floor of the planetary ship. Several patrolling android soldiers immediately went on alert and aimed their weapons at the portal. Only after the person inside emerged did the patrolling squad lower their weapons and continue their patrol.

"Whoosh!" A military jeep sped towards us from a distance and performed a drift stop at the star's dispatch station.

“Your Majesty.” Yang Weili got out of the car and came to Xing.

"There are quite a lot of ships this time. How did you manage to assemble so many?" Xing asked, looking at the spaceships in the sky.

"Lord Okita Juzo arranged for an entire galaxy of interstellar war factories, and then each factory went into full production to produce the first spaceship. In this way, a huge fleet was formed, and the remaining ships could be produced slowly," Yang Weili said.

"Wouldn't that cost over a hundred million? But I haven't found that all the warships in the base's universe look the same," Xing said.

"Logistics ships, medical ships, and various types of fighter jets are also produced together in the war factory, so the base looks less than expected."

"Forget it, let Okita Juzo do whatever he wants. In this first battle in this world, I'll just see the exchange ratio between the advance fleet and the bugs." Hoshi turned her head and continued to look at the sky.

"Finally done, it wasn't easy!" Elena said, waving away imaginary sweat from her face.

"Then a problem arose. With this whole ordeal, she's expected to wake up in at least a month, which is causing some trouble for the humans," Elena said, frowning in thought.

"Ah~ I've got it!" Elena clapped her hands as if she had thought of something, then waved and led the sleeping girl out of the room.

"Whoosh~ bang bang... rat rat rat..." In less than a minute, gunshots suddenly rang out in the area.

The gunfire immediately drew the attention of the Supreme Commander, who then heard the news that a flag-bearer had been attacked and was unconscious.

"Find it! Search it thoroughly!" the Supreme Commander roared furiously.

“No need to look for the assassin anymore, it’s already dead along with the guard,” a guard sentry said as he picked up the unknown creature.

"This thing... a spy bug?!" The Supreme Commander looked at the small bug in the sentry's hand and immediately recognized what it was.

"A spy bug? I see. It seems to be an infiltration unit from the bug's side." The Sentinel frowned as he looked at the bug corpse in his hand.

"Commander! There's a knife worm here," a guard reported.

"Damn it, it's a special spy bug that can open spatial portals." The commander muttered subconsciously after seeing the knife bug.

"Immediately issue a planetary alert order. All personnel, including the Sentinels, must undergo special checks."

"Yes, Commander!" A guard jogged away.

“It seems to pose a significant threat, so I accept your offer to inspect,” the sentry said.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness, but..." The commander looked at the unconscious girl surrounded by several medical staff.

"The problem isn't too serious, but it's not insignificant either. There are several trace amounts of toxins in her body that were almost undetectable, which caused Her Highness's coma. After we prepare some medication, she should wake up in about a month," a medical staff member responded.

"One month! Fine, let's continue as planned for this month," the commander sighed.

"I'm back," the system's voice announced.

"Has the problem been solved?" Xiang asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, just grab some bugs, kill them, and throw them over there. Let them think it's the bugs that are the problem," the system said.

"Insects... The human side has mobilized countless troops because of insects. System, I reckon a bunch of insect corpses on your side would scare people to death." Xing paused for a moment and then said with a smile.

"Your mission's ship will depart for other areas controlled by the Human Empire in one month," the system said.

"We'll set off again in a month? I understand," Xing nodded.
