Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1482: Chapter 842: The Death of Ulu

It is said to be the Battle Group’s [Holy Artifact], but in reality, Tai Shichen knows better than anyone that this necklace originally had no special function.

It was merely a personal accessory of the first Battle Group Leader when the Spear of the Dragon King was founded. Later, it was passed down as a legacy of the Battle Group Leader, from one generation to the next.

It holds a place in the history of the Battle Group, with a strong symbolic meaning, but in itself, it’s merely an accessory, far from a Holy Artifact.

The Spear of the Dragon King is also an ordinary battle group; they have never possessed something of the ’Holy Artifact’ caliber.

However, ever since this Dragon Tooth Necklace passed through Mr. Gu’s hands, it changed.

Many battle groups, and even non-Interstellar Warriors’ mortal meritorious troops, have been awarded honors. It often involves handing over a memorable item from the unit, which is then blessed in the [Holy Artifact Chapel] located on Rage Owl Star, transforming it into a Divine Artifact before being returned to its original unit.

The Holy Artifact of the Spear of the Dragon King is this Dragon Tooth Necklace. The bearer not only receives a constant micro-supply of stamina and strong resistance to Subspace but can also unleash a formidable Dragon Flame Spear.

Tai Shichen, along with the Chief Priest and the Think Tank, tested it, and they all agreed that the power of this Dragon Flame Spear could even penetrate a Titan’s Void Shield and annihilate it!

However, such a powerful Holy Artifact is limited in its use. After each use, it requires a full year to recharge, and the charging process is quite cumbersome, needing devout believers to pray continuously for it day and night. This condition makes its actual recharging time much longer than a year.

The Dragon Tooth Necklace has always been kept in the chapel of the Warband Monastery, constantly being nurtured until it is fully charged. Only then is it taken out and worn by Tai Shichen, the Battle Group Leader. He uses this artifact with great caution.

Yet at this moment, Tai Shichen shows no reluctance, completely undeterred by sentiment.

If not now, then when?

Firing it now is likely to directly solve the problem of Ulu, reducing the risk of ongoing entanglement with a powerful Orc Warlord. Moreover, considering that if this guy realizes he can’t win and tries to flee with his men, who knows how long this war would drag on. The warriors of the Spear of the Dragon King, the soldiers of the Alliance, and the Combat Brothers of other battle groups could see many fewer casualties.

Now, eliminating him swiftly, with the least cost and fastest speed, is what’s most important to resolve the war.

The Dragon Tooth Necklace lit up, a brilliant green light burst forth, transforming into a dense, fiery spear as soon as it left the necklace, and it fiercely stabbed towards Ulu in the distance.

And at this moment, Ulu had just broken free from Modeller’s Spiritual Energy Chains.

This Orc Warlord indeed has extraordinary strength, as even someone like Modeller, the Intelligence Director, with A+ level spiritual energy strength, could only bind Ulu for only two or three breaths, even bleeding from all seven orifices in the effort.

But those few moments were enough.

Facing the terrifying Dragon Flame Spear, Ulu had no way to dodge; he only had time to lift his War Axe to block it in front of him.

However, under the power enough to obliterate a Titan, Ulu, with no evasion or extra defensive preparation, couldn’t withstand such an attack even with his formidable physique.

When the flames dissipated, Ulu’s body was almost roasted. His body had changed color, lying twitching on the ground.

But in fact, he wasn’t entirely dead. Although his body could no longer move, his face, utterly charred and disfigured, trembled slightly, his mouth and eyes twitching, as if clinging to the last bit of life.

If given more time, he might even slowly recover from this thoroughly cooked state.

Such is the outrageous resilience of a powerful Orc Warlord’s life force.

But at this moment, Tai Shichen’s iron boot stomped heavily onto the Orc Warlord’s chest.

The Phase Sword was raised high, then fiercely swung down, severing Ulu’s head.

…

Two and a half weeks later, on Bright Eyes Star.

Tai Shichen personally crushed the last Green Skin Orc skull within his field of view.

The war was won.

At least this was a stage victory.

In reality, after Ulu was slain by Tai Shichen, and the Steel Furnace War was won, there was hardly any suspense left in the entire war.

The Beastman army invading the Wangyue Star Domain experienced internal turmoil. It’s their old tradition and was exploited by humans to eliminate a considerable number of Green Skin Orcs.

Even though, compared to ordinary Beastman settlements, this group was quick at resolving this issue—they swiftly re-elected and contested a leader who took over all the Beastman forces in the Wangyue Star Domain.

But by then, the situation was already irreversible.

The death of Ulu dealt a significant blow to the beast army’s morale. And a Beastman force lacking courage has its combat effectiveness visibly impaired.

Aside from that, their huge losses at the Steel Flame Furnace, and the numerous remaining forces eliminated during the chaos, led to a shortage in the combat effectiveness of the remaining Beastman forces.

Under Tai Shichen’s direct command, the human army marched forward powerfully and pridefully onto Bright Eyes Star to engage the Beastmen in battle once more.

This battle was a complete rout.

The newly elected Green Skin Commander was also slain under Tai Shichen’s sword—his strength falling far short compared to Ulu’s.

After Bright Eyes Star was recaptured, Green Skin units continued pouring out of Omgeria nonstop. However, they were minor squads unable to pose any real threat to Bright Eyes Star, well-guarded by a large army.

Especially after a new Space-time Locking Device was transported and re-established on Bright Eyes Star, making every Green Skin Orc emerging from Omgeria a prey falling into a trap.

As time went by, fewer and fewer Beastmen emerged.

On one hand, those who came in ended up not returning, like buns fed to dogs, with no achievements gained;

On the other hand, it is likely that the intensity of the war between the Beastmen and the Insect Swarm inside the Omegilia Star Realm has escalated even further.

Even the vast war race of Green Skins now has no resources left to deploy troops elsewhere.

The Insect Swarm is in the same position.

The frequency of attacks on the other exits of the Unbreakable Defense Line by enemies overflowing from Omegilia has also drastically decreased. From this point, similar conclusions can be drawn.

Aliens not coming, Tai Shichen must now enter.
