Star Iron, building an empire starting with game development

Unknown star system

"Beep—" An Isokaze-class wave cannon destroyer broke free of warp and arrived in this star system.

"Buzzing~ Buzzing~" The ship's radar began to rotate.

With a "click," the hatch on the left side of the ship opened, and an RVF-171 variable-range fighter-bomber reconnaissance aircraft detached from its load and flew towards the location of the star.

"Beep beep beep...!!!" Not long after the reconnaissance plane flew away, an alarm sounded inside the ship.

"Whoosh..." Thousands of starships with red symbols on their prows detached from the moon and entered this star system.

"Hiss—" The auxiliary nozzles of the Isobu Wave Gun destroyer started working, and the ship made a 180-degree turn.

"Warning! We are conducting routine star system exploration. Do not disturb." The wide-area communication was sent to the fleet.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." The unknown fleet did not respond, but instead unleashed a barrage of naval gunfire at Isokaze...

The Isokaze-class destroyer had already activated its wave shield, but the intrusion of several mech-like units of varying sizes caused the wave barrier to be breached, resulting in its destruction.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat~" Four missiles flew at high speed from a distance, but were unfortunately destroyed by anti-aircraft fire and several mech-like units. RVF-171 was also destroyed by a monster-like entity...

"Report, Your Majesty, one of our exploration-class destroyers, the Isokaze-class, has been destroyed," an android officer reported.

"What about the other party's losses?" Xing replied casually.

"The enemy fleet was large in number and equipped with large individual mechs. The Isokaze-class destroyer was destroyed without firing a single shot, and the enemy suffered no losses," the officer responded.

"That's strange... Monsters? But monsters don't have fleets, so are they aliens from somewhere?" Xing pondered.

"Your Majesty, this is the reconnaissance video transmitted by the reconnaissance plane before it was shot down." The officer placed the tablet on the desk.

"I understand, you can go now. Also, send a fleet over there to take a look," Xing said, waving his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The officer left the room.

"It looks like it's some kind of trouble caused by that alien civilization..." Xing picked up the tablet and started playing a video, then his expression grew increasingly serious as he looked at some of the things that appeared in it.

"Goodness, I thought it was some alien, but it turns out it's Ultraman Belial's Imperial Fleet."

"Any ideas?" the system asked.

“A single wave-cannon warship cannot withstand Belial’s fleet, but what if it were a fleet-class ship, a legion-class fleet, or even a base fleet?” Xing said with a smile.

"With their core fleet-class wave cannon warships, let alone Belial's Imperial fleet, no civilization in the entire universe can withstand their existence," the system said.

"It's a pity my base universe has only been running for a short time, otherwise I really would like to bring out a wave cannon-based main fleet," Xing sighed.

"Take your time, everything will be alright," the system said.

"The world of Ultra Galaxy Legends... those warships and mechs are alright, Dark Protoss and the like are easy to handle, but the troublesome ones are Belial himself and his subordinate aliens and monsters." Xing sighed.

"A full-powered volley of the Wave Cannons could tear the universe apart, let alone your Temporary World Gate. The problem that the Ultraman race needs to gather all the energy of the Light Kingdom for Zero to travel between worlds is nothing to you," the system said.

“That makes sense. Then let’s send out all the wave cannon warships to find Belial’s fleet and let his fleet attack my exploration ships whenever it’s free,” Xing said, and began to issue orders.

"An exploration ship that can tear the universe apart at any time with its wave cannon..." the system muttered.

Unknown star system

"Toot-toot—!" After an Isokaze-class destroyer disengaged from warp, a Murasame-class cruiser and another Isokaze-class destroyer appeared behind her. Then, the three warships flew towards the star system that they had originally planned to explore but which had been invaded by Belial's fleet.

"Roar~!" Several aerial combat-type mechs, Regined, flew over, but were quickly destroyed by three wave cannon shots.

"Whoosh..." Hundreds of Imperial warships and tens of thousands of aerial combat Reginalds appeared in front of the formation.

"Beep beep beep~!" The Murasame-class cruiser began sending reinforcement communications. Then, a medium-sized main fleet consisting of millions of Isokaze-class, Murasame-class, Kongo-class, Dreadnought-class, and Andromeda-class wave gun battleships entered the battlefield in neat formation.

"Retreat." Imperial strategist Dark Gona issued the retreat order, abandoning even the resources within the star system.

There was nothing they could do. The Imperial fleet only had a little over ten thousand ships, while the enemy had hundreds of times more warships, and their attacks were something the mechs couldn't withstand.

As for Dark Prologis? Don't be ridiculous. How long would it take to fight five million enemy ships? Not to mention there might be follow-up fleets.

Dark Gona guessed correctly. After he left with his fleet, the Wave Cannon fleet did not leave. Instead, it continued to reinforce with a medium-sized Wave Cannon main fleet and a large main fleet of pure Karakum-class battleships.

"Your Majesty, the enemy fleet has retreated, and the target star system is now ours," the officer reported.

"I understand." Xing waved for the person to leave.

"Want to compare fleet quality? Check out the Wave Cannon plus the VF series fighters. Want to compare quantity? Check out the main fleet~" The retreating Belial Empire fleet on the Starland flat panel said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the frontline fleet has acquired a Reginald mech that was damaged in battle and is still intact," an officer reported.

"I'll go take a look." Xing immediately stood up and followed the officer toward a certain place.

"Is this the mech? It didn't seem like much in the anime, but it's actually quite big in real life," Xing said, looking at the damaged mech standing in front of her.

"Touching it will have benefits," the system suddenly said.

"Benefits, huh?" Xing stepped forward and touched the mech's cold outer shell...

"System notification: External information has been received, and the conceptual consciousness 'Dominant Will' has undergone a transformation—'The Empress' has gone online."

"What do you mean?" Xing didn't understand.

"Your concept has evolved. From now on, you can summon not only any insectoid race, but also monsters, including the mechanical type in front of you," the system said.

"Monsters... are all allowed?" Xing asked excitedly.

"If you want to ask about Dark Zero or Galactron, that's certainly possible," the system replied.

"From now on, it will be a mixed attack formation of wave cannon fleets, star destroyers, VF series fighters, and all kinds of space monsters!" Xing said excitedly.
