There wasn't much difference between the Holy Cluster and the Celestial Cluster. After the spaceship passed through the Interstellar Portal, Qinchuan saw an ordinary universe. Other than the few Zerg soldiers who were obviously wearing Zerg armor, everything was fine.
After a new round of inspection, they were once again allowed to move freely in the Holy Cluster. Of course, they couldn't go to Zerg's territory. They could only go to the public areas that belonged to all the races.
After the spaceship left the Interstellar Portal, Karo couldn't wait to find Qinchuan.
"Sir, we're safe now. What do you plan to do next?"
Qinchuan looked at the anxious expression on Karo's face. He knew that Karo must want to find Auk immediately and save Béla.
After thinking for a while, Qinchuan said to the anxious Karo, "Tell me about Auk."
Karo was relieved when she heard this. She quickly said, "Auk is from the Iron Tower Race. He's the leader of the Iron Tower Race, an overlord in the middle stage of the Combination Stage. Most of the Iron Tower Race are gathered on the Iron Tower Planet. They've always been the vassals of the Holy Clan and serve the Holy Clan.
"Auk is very strong, especially in terms of defense. He's definitely one of the best in the same stage. Very few people can break through his defense.
"Other than Auk, the Iron Tower Race has another overlord in the Combination Stage called Randt. He's in the early stage of the Combination Stage and has always been Auk's right-hand man."
Karo looked at Qinchuan nervously. After all, she had never told Qinchuan that there was another overlord in the Combination Stage by Auk's side. However, she was relieved when she saw that Qinchuan's expression didn't change. Obviously, Qinchuan didn't care how many overlords in the Combination Stage the Iron Tower Race had.
Qinchuan asked Karo, "What do you plan to do?
Kill Auk and Randt directly? "
Karo couldn't help but have some strange thoughts when she heard Qinchuan's words. It was as if Qinchuan thought that killing two overlords in the Combination Stage was as easy as killing two chicks.
If she knew that more than 20 overlords in the Combination Stage had died directly or indirectly at the hands of Qinchuan, she probably wouldn't have such strange thoughts.
Karo thought for a moment and said to Qinchuan, "Killing Auk and Randt is definitely the simplest and most effective way. However, the Iron Tower Planet's security is very tight. It'll be difficult for us to break in with so many people."
Qinchuan thought for a moment and asked Karo, "If the Iron Tower Planet is attacked, will the Insect … Holy Race come to help?"
Karo looked at Qinchuan with a strange expression and said, "Sir, do you hate Saint … Zerg?"
Qinchuan chuckled and said, "You should answer my question first."
Karo thought for a moment and said, "If the Iron Tower Planet is attacked, Auk will definitely ask Saint … Zerg for help. However, Zerg's reinforcements won't be able to arrive in time. It'll take at least two to three days, unless Zerg happens to have a Combination Stage overlord on the Iron Tower Planet."
Qinchuan thought for a moment and asked Lü Zi, "What do you think?"
Lü Zi replied, "I suggest we keep a low profile. After all, killing two Combination Stage overlords is not a small matter. Not everyone can do it. If it's not a last resort, it's best if we can save Béla without bloodshed."
Lü Zi paused for a moment and said, "However, Auk will definitely keep Béla by his side. If we want to save Béla, we can't avoid Auk."
Qinchuan thought for a moment and asked Karo, "In the Holy Cluster, who is the enemy of the Iron Tower Race?
The archenemy. "
Karo heard Qinchuan's words and knew that Qinchuan wanted to frame them. She said to Qinchuan, "The Iron Tower Race has many enemies, but the archenemy is definitely the Wind Race!"
Hearing Karo's answer, Qinchuan asked, "Is the Wind Race also one of Zerg's vassals?
If the Wind Race exterminated the Iron Tower Race, what are the consequences? "
"Zerg doesn't restrict his vassals from fighting each other. Instead, he encourages this behavior. The weak are prey to the strong. Only the strong can gain Zerg's favor. If the Wind Race exterminated the Iron Tower Race, Zerg won't interfere. Moreover, the benefits that originally belonged to the Iron Tower Race will go to the Wind Race."
Karo paused for a moment and then asked Qinchuan hesitantly, "Mister, are you trying to borrow the Wind Race's power?
I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain their trust. "
Qinchuan smiled and said to Karo, "I don't plan to borrow their power. I just want to borrow their name. You should have the contact of the Wind Race, right? Find someone with a higher status and send them an anonymous message. If they are willing to take the blame, I will give them a big gift!"
…
Iron Tower Planet was located in the northwest of the Holy Cluster. It was a relatively remote location. The more than 200 solar systems in this area were all managed by the Iron Tower Race. The Iron Tower Race could keep 30% of the benefits they obtained from these 200 solar systems. The remaining 70% would be handed over to Zerg.
When Qinchuan and the others arrived at the outskirts of Iron Tower Planet, it was already ten days later. Qinchuan stood in front of the porthole and looked at the Iron Tower Planet that was almost transformed into a metal planet. It was as if he was looking at Tu Huayuan. However, compared to Tu Huayuan, Iron Tower Planet's defense was obviously stronger.
Karo stood beside Qinchuan and asked nervously, "Are we really going to attack by force?"
Qinchuan nodded and said, "You just need to tell me if you want the Iron Tower Race to be exterminated or if you just want to save Béla."
Karo trembled with excitement when she heard Qinchuan's words. She said to Qinchuan, "Not everyone in the Iron Tower Race is bad. My Lord, you just need to kill the overlord of the Iron Tower Race."
Qinchuan grinned and said, "You are kind to think that way. However, the Iron Tower Race is destined to be exterminated. After Auk and Randt die, the Wind Race will take over this territory. Do you think they will let the Iron Tower Race go?"
Karo's expression became complicated when she heard Qinchuan's words. She knew very well that with the Wind Race's hatred for the Iron Tower Race, there was no way they would let anyone from the Iron Tower Race go!
"Alright, that's the end of the chat."
Qinchuan turned to Argentin and Night Serenity and said, "You two go and lure Auk and Randt out. We will deal with them in this universe and then find Béla. We will end this quickly."
