Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

If it weren't for the fifty well-equipped imperial guards leading the way, and the Shurima army charging into battle, the people of these tribes would not even be able to enter the city.

Therefore, the pressure on the front battlefield is still on Shurima.

Ash flew over Xuanfeng City on the quicksand. Wherever he went, golden sand fell from the sky and turned into sand soldiers rushing towards the Xuanfeng soldiers.

The sand soldiers summoned by the third-level power are already capable of competing head-on with the Xuanfeng Army in terms of individual strength, and they far surpass them in numbers, so Ash did not stop and flew straight to the place where the battle was most intense.

boom!

The sand giant fell from the sky, and his huge fist slammed into the middle of the crowd with a bang, knocking the Xuanfeng soldiers away.

"It's the Sand Soldiers! Ash is here!!!"

The Xuanfeng army immediately became panicked.

Wan Di raised his head and looked at the falling Ash with a slight smile.

"How did you come?"

"If I hadn't come, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain."

"I'm sorry for not notifying you in time about the unauthorized attack."

Seeing Ash, Wan Di regained some of his sanity.

He had only sent the news of the attack back to Shurima and did not wait for a reply from there.

"Nikadori is not in the city?" Ash could feel that the power of Titans did not exist in this city.

"Yes, for some unknown reason, he suddenly became abnormal and is leading the Heavenly Punishment Legion in a frantic attack on the Black Tide."

"Then your decision is right."

Nicardoli was away, and Xuanfeng City's garrison was severely understaffed. If they didn't attack now, when would they? If it were Ash himself, he might have made the same decision as Wan Di.

He turned his eyes and quickly saw the body of the palace being stabbed to death on the wall by a long spear.

"That is..."

"Olipon." Wandi's voice was remarkably calm. "I killed him."

There is no pleasure of revenge, only sadness in the heart. After all, this hatred brings only killing and death.

"Alright, Xiao Wan." Ash patted his shoulder, "Don't doubt yourself, and don't hesitate. You are the immortal Madmos."

Wan Di: "..."

The cry of "Xiao Wan" almost made Wan Di collapse.

"We'll talk about other things after this battle is over."

"it is good."

Although the two were "chatting", no one in the surrounding Xuanfeng Army dared to charge forward. When Ash officially joined the battlefield, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

King Olipon was killed, and among the remaining elders of the Xuanfeng tribe, only a few continued to resist. After they were also pierced by the sharp blades of the sand soldiers, there was no more resistance. Wan Di successfully took over Xuanfeng City as the crown prince of Xuanfeng.

The Shurima suffered heavy casualties throughout the battle, but its significance was immense. Ash hadn't originally intended to destroy the city of High Blade. As the Crown Prince of Ten Thousand Enemies, he intended to seize the throne and then conduct a powerful purge within High Blade, ensuring that most of the remaining people would follow him.

After all, Xuanfeng City hadn't been doing well in recent years. Even for warriors who weren't afraid of death, the endless war would tire them out. Not to mention that when this battle began, the Titan of Strife they believed in abandoned Xuanfeng and disappeared.

It takes a long time to establish faith, but it may collapse in an instant. After Wan Di completely took over Xuanfeng City, he immediately announced that he would join the management of Shurima!

Wan Di made this decision after careful consideration. He did not think that Xuan Feng could survive alone in Omphalos in his current situation. Xuan Feng also needed protection, and relying on Shurima was the best choice.

Although many of the Exalted remained unwilling to live under the protection of others, they eventually compromised under the dual pressure of their enemies and the Sand Soldiers. Ash planned to allow the Exalted to live alongside the people of Shurima, completely dismantling their beliefs and gradually assimilating them. With sufficient stability and comfort, the Exalted would eventually break free from Nicadori's beliefs and join the great Desert Emperor.

But before that, they had to determine Nicardoli's condition.

So after taking over Xuanfeng City, Ash immediately sent a large number of soldiers to search for Nicardoli's whereabouts, but they only found the Scourge Legion fighting everywhere, and did not see any trace of Strife.

"Could it be that the Black Tide has some special meaning to Nicardoli?" Ash couldn't help but think.

Ever since the Black Tide erupted, something seemed off about Nicardori. Judging from the original Titans' role, they should have been protecting Omphalos. Even if the conflict and war erupted internally, the Titans should have held a united stance toward the Black Tide, which could bring destruction to the world.

Ash even suspected that the Titans' madness might be related to the Black Tide.

Unfortunately, there is no way to prove this speculation. Since Nicardoli does not show up, he can only put Xuanfeng City on alert and be ready to deal with the attack of the Scourge Legion at any time.

After handing over the affairs of the Blade to Ten Thousand Enemies, Ash returned to Shurima.

"Ohma has withdrawn its troops." Xiadie briefly told him about the situation here.

The Ohma army led by Bai'e suffered a blow in the first wave of attack, but the guards of the holy city had experienced the baptism of war. Bai'e quickly led his troops to evacuate, and after reorganizing the formation, he launched another round of offensive.

Aglaia's mission was to hold off Shurima and lure Ash out. The stronger the Shurima forces remained, the more likely Aglaia would suffer an unexpected disaster. Unfortunately, Bai'e was ultimately unable to break through the Custodians' defenses. Furthermore, with Xiadie and Julius present, the Ohma army had only a numerical advantage, and their combat effectiveness in a head-on confrontation was not much different.

So after two charges, the Ohma army lost nearly half of its troops, and finally Bai'e left with his men.

Yaxiu guessed that Bai'e had received the news from Ohma. A battle broke out in the center of the Creation Vortex. The situation of Aglaya and Tibao would not be very good. It was impossible for the other people in Ohma to be unaware of it.

"Did you fight them?"

Xiadie could feel that Ash's power had become stronger again. More importantly, strange phenomena had appeared on the sun disc several times before.

"Oronis gave me the fire." Ash shook his head and told me about the Abyss of Destiny.

"This is his own choice." Xiadie said softly, "Every Titan should have the right to choose his own destiny. I don't know if the oracle is correct, but I believe that is definitely not Omphalos's only fate."

The oracle may really be able to save the world, but that doesn't mean other methods are not possible.

However, as a holy city, Ohema was destined from the beginning. They held the right to interpret the oracle and must unhesitatingly adhere to the sole concept of "oracle salvation" and follow the footsteps of Father Kephar. Only their unconditional belief could make those who joined Ohema believe as well.

Then, when a second force that can save the world appears, either let it join or destroy it.

Xiadie simply felt it was a pity. If the initial conflict hadn't flared up, perhaps the situation now would be different. She looked at Yaxiu and concluded from his eyes that the current "different situation" would definitely not occur again.

After all, even Xuanfeng City has now sided with Shurima.

Just as she had imagined, upon Ash's return to Shurima, the entire city-state entered a state of war preparedness. Military and food reserves were significantly increased, and the sun disk hanging over the city-state, with its occasional bursts of light, spoke volumes—Ash was creating a guard of warriors, preparing for battle!

After unlocking the third level of power, presiding over the ascension ceremony became easier. Ash held the second ascension ceremony for Julius. When the more powerful power of the sun was poured into his body, Julius's body functions were further strengthened, and his strength had truly reached the level of a golden descendant.

Unfortunately, only a handful of individuals could withstand the second ascension, and most could only be strengthened by the power of the sun, resulting in a modest increase in strength. Even so, after just three days of hard work, the overall strength of the Shurima Guards more than doubled!

The number of people has reached two hundred, their personal strength has been strengthened, and their equipment is of impeccable quality.

When the sun's rays shone on every corner of the city, the people responded to the call and gathered in the square in front of the temple.

"My people! The age of Shurima has arrived!" Ash stood on the platform, holding high his scepter. "We have risen from weakness to might, from weakness to strength. Along the way, we have endured much pain and disaster, persevering through battle time and again, shattering the spearheads of strife and severing the armor of Ohma."

"Now, the time to conquer has come!"

"The Blade has been brought to Shurima. The madness of strife has plunged him into an endless battle with the Black Tide. Even if he appears again, we have nothing to fear. For at this moment, I have drawn upon the power of the Titans to bring eternal protection to Shurima!"

"King Ash! King Ash! King Ash!!"

Swish!

The golden light illuminated the sky, and the people of Shurima knelt on the ground, shouting the greatness of "King Ash".

Rumble~~

Countless sand soldiers crawled up from the ground, tens, hundreds, thousands... spread all over the city and outside, and the whole city was filled with golden shadows!

"Soldiers, the horn of war has sounded, march towards Ohema!!!"

Yesterday's bounty statistics: 121 monthly tickets, 523 rewards, 81 blades, thanks to 'HK212' for the treasure chest, an additional 4000 words will be added when the bounty statistics are calculated! Bounty gkd!

I'd also like to say that this book doesn't carry any emotional bias. It's simply a story based on the current game context, choosing a position opposite to Ohma's, and unfolding the plot from that perspective. There may be some shortcomings in the settings and plot, after all, there's really not much information available right now, but the general direction is sound: conquest and unification. So, don't accuse the author of indulging in personal emotions. Without opposition, what else can Onpharos write about? Even if they were to stick together, there wouldn't be any female characters to write about. More on that in the summary.

Omphalos's Journey: Chapter 55: The Capture of Ohma, the End of Aglaia

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

A dull sound echoed from the earth.

The yellow sand was flying high, and the eternal night was illuminated by the golden light of dawn. Countless scavengers fled wherever they went.

"It's the army!"

"Sand Legion, is it Shurima?!"

"Is this direction towards Ohema?"

"It's time to fight, it's really time to fight!"

The scavengers hiding in the dark looked extremely shocked and moved away from the direction of the legion's advance, fearing that they would be affected.

Those of them who often wandered in the wild naturally knew the current situation of Omphalos. Although Ohma and Xuanfeng were powerful, Shurima was rising fiercely and had forcefully defeated the armies of the two major forces. It was hard to say what would happen in the future.

These scavengers had only heard about the last wave of war leading to the founding of Shurima, so they were particularly surprised to see the Shurima army appear.

And when they saw the recent crazy black tide being crushed by the Sand Soldier Corps, they were so shocked that they were speechless.

"Things are changing, things are changing in Omphalos!"

...

at the same time.

The holy city of Ohema.

Today's Yunshi Market is as lively as ever. Although Ohma has been involved in many external wars recently and has also undergone internal regime changes,

For most ordinary people...does it have any impact?

Whether the Golden Race or the Senate is in power, it will not have much impact on their lives. As for the war, it will not come to the Holy City. Those troublesome matters will naturally be handled by professionals.

However, something worrying happened in the past two days.

First, Bai'er returned with a group of defeated soldiers. According to the returning soldiers, this battle was different from the previous ones. Shurima no longer relied solely on the infinitely summoned sand soldiers, but relied on a group of extremely ferocious warriors to slaughter thousands of them!

You have to understand that before this, the Shurima army posed no threat to Ohma. Shurima's strength was almost entirely based on Ash's personal abilities. Infinitely summoning sand soldiers, using hundreds of pounds of sand to kill the enemy, such a deal was foolish, and even the Holy City Guards clearly stated that they would rather fight the Hanging Blade than Shurima.

I hit a bunch of sand and kept getting tricked. My mentality was broken!

But they all felt that as long as they killed Ash, Shurima would no longer be a threat.

So the news brought back this time made Ohmane feel a little uneasy, after all, Shurima was developing too fast!

In addition to this incident, there is another equally disturbing thing.

"Strange, why is the message stone so slow today? It takes a long time for me to send a message, how about you?"

"It's the same with me. I just went to the Kephale forum and it took ages to load a single post. It really annoyed me."

"Why are you going there? You don't believe in Kephar."

"Hush... God is above us, how could we, the people of Ohma, not believe in God?"

The man who spoke looked around. He really didn't believe it, after all, he had only been in Ohma for a few days. But you can't say it out loud, otherwise the Holy City Guard will come to his house to check the water meter at night.

"I wanted to see if there was anything new up there. I heard the people of Shurima worship some kind of sun, and it's quite powerful. I'd like to know which god is that sun, Gioria or Aigle?"

"You're right..."

The two talked about the forum and wanted to check it out, but the speed of the message stone tablet was so slow that they wanted to throw it to the ground.

This phenomenon not only occurred among them, but also covered the entire Ohma. When everyone realized that there was a problem with the communication stone tablet, they began to feel uneasy.

You know, the message stone tablet was made possible by Aglaya's ability, but now there is a problem. According to rumors, Aglaya seems to have disappeared, and none of the councilors who are waiting for Aglaya to sign to handle affairs in the city can see her.

Although the official response said that Lord Aglaya had important matters to deal with and could not take care of the message stone tablet for the time being, the people of Ohma were not fools, and they seemed to smell a hint of something unusual.

Soon after, news came from the frontline outpost that shocked everyone - the Shurima army was attacking!

When the news reached Ohema, the holy city exploded instantly. Although the speed of the message stone tablet was maddeningly slow, there were still people tirelessly posting messages on it.

Some linked this incident to Aglaia's disappearance, believing the Shurima attack was premeditated. Others dismissed the idea, arguing that the Holy City had existed for so many years, and how long had Shurima been rising? It wasn't even a fraction of that!

The previous attack failed because Ohma didn't use his full strength!

There are always many people who are indifferent to the outside world, especially in Omphalos, which is shrouded in eternal night. They have long been accustomed to enjoying the light alone in Ohma, and regard the world outside as the end of the world. Even struggling to survive has become a problem, so what qualifications do they have to fight Ohma?

Fear, worry, indifference, anger, all kinds of emotions mixed together in the city of Ohma, which became more and more chaotic, until the high yellow sand blew into the city. Everyone turned their heads to look towards the city gate. The sandstorm that covered the sky almost covered the dawn machine on Kefal's back!

“It’s a good day!”

Boom boom boom boom.

Teams of holy city guards quickly rushed towards the city gate.

As everyone was shocked, a deep voice sounded in the void.
