Star Iron, building an empire starting with game development

Target Universe - Forest (within the forest)

In the once-prosperous capital of the Elf Empire, in the palace belonging to the Elf Queen, Xing sat on that magnificent throne.

"Your Majesty." Yang Weili walked in.

"How's the problem being resolved?" Xing looked up at Yang.

"The Kingdom of Ramel has disintegrated on its own and issued a notice stating that it has been incorporated into the Galactic Empire and become its servant."

"The Kingdom of Ridelshu resolutely refused to comply, and its army has been completely wiped out by the imperial forces. All members of the royal family and all nobles have been arrested. After the issue was resolved, the common people of the kingdom did not have any unpleasant reaction."

"When the city was breached by the imperial forces, all members of the Augusta Empire’s royal family and all high-ranking nobles committed suicide, while lower-ranking nobles led their private armies to surrender."

"The Kefir Empire mobilized the entire nation to resist the advance of the imperial forces. Now the Kefir Empire has completely disappeared from the map, and the country's population is reduced to only about 50,000 poor people."

"The dwarves are using their technology underground to continuously fight back against the Imperial forces, and now the Imperial forces are conducting Van Fleet-style bombing of the dwarves' last capital."

"The Principality of St. Mary, which claims to be the agent of the gods on earth, is still resisting the bombardment of the imperial forces through the power of the gods of this world. According to calculations, unless there is a direct attack by naval guns, the bombardment by our army will last for a month."

"The Elven lineage, the Forest Elves, means that this forest has been completely occupied by the Empire. The Elves who did not resist are temporarily imprisoned in prison-style colony ships in the space fleet."

"The wood elves that have emerged are using the forests in the eastern district to inflict heavy damage on the combat robot forces. Three days ago, the flower elves sent an envoy to express their unwillingness to fight and to say that they would lead their entire race to join the empire."

"The orcs are fiercely resisting, and the Imperial forces are unable to capture any of them. The artillery positions are also unable to effectively strike the scattered orcs, so the ground battle continues."

“The Fairy Empire…” Yang Wenli continued, but Xing raised her hand to stop him.

"Without compromising the fleet's cannons, I permit you to use weapons with greater yield. Those still resisting should not even think about taking prisoners. From now on, the Empire will no longer need any extra prisoners," Xing issued the order.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Yang Wenli replied.

"What did those researchers say about the wood elf prisoners we captured earlier?" Xing looked at a temporary research institute in the distance.

“Their physical structure is different from that of the elves who have submitted to the Empire and those goblins. Although they are also of the elven race, they are elves born from plant evolution, including the flower elves of the west of the forest and the elemental elves of the south,” Yang Wenli responded.

"The flower fairies belong to the empire, but what about the elemental fairies?" Xing asked.

“Except for the Wood Elves who are still resisting, all other Elf species and all Sub-Elves have submitted to the Empire,” Yang Wenli responded.

"Send a final message to the Wood Elves, then send bombers to spray Agent Orange." Xing gave the order.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yang Wenli replied, then waited for the next instruction. A minute later, without any further instructions, Yang Wenli left the dilapidated palace.

"System, shouldn't what I've done be enough to get me locked up in the dark room?" Xing suddenly asked.

"That's it? You're still far from it," the system replied.

"Oh? Okay, I understand."

Frontline War Command

"Lieutenant, a new order from the Empress: the troops are to increase firepower, replace kinetic weapons, and are permitted to use explosive weapons," Yang Weili informed his adjutant as soon as he entered the command post.

"Sir? Yes!" The adjutant paused for a moment, then his lips curled into a wide smile that he could barely contain.

“Although this world is to be handed over to Miss Amiya, Her Majesty the Queen has grown tired of this kind of safe war offensive and has authorized an increased projection of war power across the entire world,” Yang Wenli said.

"Notify the strike cruisers in orbit to directly deploy Space Marines. Notify the bomber forces to conduct a large-scale Agent Orange drop on the area where the Wood Elves are located. Notify the ground forces to resolve the battle as quickly as possible. Notify the Krieg forces that the loosely organized Orcish Horde army is now theirs."

"Yes, Admiral." The adjutants began issuing various mission instructions to the communications officers.

Forest Elf - East District

A new day dawned once more, and the wood elf hunters and sorcerers were fully prepared, ready to deliver a heavy blow to the approaching enemy.

"Buzzing..." A strange buzzing sound came from the sky.

"Dwarven airships? Have the dwarves resolved their issue?" The wood elf captain looked up at the sky. Although he was a conservative among the elves and had lived for thousands of years, he had engaged in some exchanges with the dwarves hundreds of years ago and had seen their airships.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." Countless 'airships' flew quickly across the sky, dropping large amounts of water-like substances.

"What is this..." The wood elf captain instinctively flinched, avoiding getting any water on himself, but...

"Ahhhhhh..." A lot of miserable howls came from around him. The captain looked over and saw many tribesmen wailing and grabbing their own bodies. Even when their bodies were torn apart, they could not stop their actions.

"This stuff is suspicious. How dare the humans poison it?!" The Wood Elf captain exclaimed in shock.

"Thump, thump, thump..." The sound of orderly footsteps came from afar. Although it was different from the footsteps of the humans earlier, the elven captain still sent out some kind of signal. After receiving multiple signals within a minute, he began to aim at the direction from which the enemy was approaching, but...

"Tap tap tap..." The original attack force of human soldiers and mechanical puppets was gone, replaced by larger, heavier, and much fatter mechanical puppets.

"Whoosh—! Clang—" An arrow struck the mechanical puppet directly, but unfortunately, the arrow, which could destroy the original, smaller mechanical puppets, had no effect on the newly arrived one...

"囧囧囧... Boom boom~..." Countless B2 combat robots kept advancing, all their attacks aimed at the next tree in their direction of advance.

"Retreat! Retreat!" The captain issued the retreat order, and the wood elf troops, already suffering heavy losses due to the strange rain and fog, had no choice but to retreat into the depths of the forest.

"Wait, what's this?" The wood elf captain, who was about to leave, glanced at the tree beside him and found that it was withering, as were the surrounding trees; they were all heading towards death.

"Whoosh—Boom!!" A piece of steel suddenly fell from the sky, landing in front of the wood elves. The captain sensed something was wrong and was about to give an order when a metal plate suddenly bounced off and sent him flying into a tree trunk in the distance...

"For Her Majesty the Queen! Kill all the aliens!"
