Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 166

166. Chapter 166, Naval Battle Settlement

When Gu Hang opened his eyes again, it was dozens of minutes later, and the battle at the crossroads was over.

When the soldier of the 3rd Independent Regiment who fell from the sky used a melta bomb that came from nowhere to kill the orc warlord, Gu Hang turned to withdraw the telekinetic control over Kuang Ya and used psychic power to pull the old priest, who was already dying and unconscious, back with all his strength to prevent him from being affected by the melta bomb.

At the same time, he also saw that Martins did not forget to pull the heroic soldier back while retreating quickly.

Then, he saw Kuang Ya being melted by the melta bomb from his chest that had completely lost its armor protection, and then the whole person was burned from the inside out.

Although, when Kuang Ya died, there were still many green-skinned orcs alive on the battlefield. However, according to the characteristics of green-skinned orcs, the threat posed by the remaining greenskins will drop sharply after the death of the biggest leader.

Without a leader, they began to become confused and fight on their own. Moreover, the combat power of Kuangya itself is also very useful for this green-skinned orc commando. Without him who withstood countless firepower in front and could kill various infantry and armored units, the remaining greenskins, even the killing cans and fear cans, are far behind in combat strength.

The infantry fighting vehicles began to advance slowly in the passage of about eight meters in width, and the infantry began to attack the enemy in an orderly manner with the help of infantry fighting vehicles as cover and firepower platform. The infantry of the battalion that came from the south of the intersection also stole the buttocks of the greenskin group that was in chaos and weak in fighting spirit. The rocket launcher fired round after round, and the power of the explosion was even more terrifying in the narrow passage.

In addition, although Gu Hang himself could not continue to maintain his combat effectiveness due to psychic overload, and the same was true for Rizzo, there were still three other Space Marines. Instead, they became super soldiers on the battlefield, playing a role similar to that of Gnee Kuangya before.

Perhaps, in terms of individual force, even Martins, the nominal warband leader, who was only at the level of the company champion at best and whose equipment was shabby, was far from as strong as the orc warlord. However, they had three people after all, and compared with the greenskin warlord, their greater advantage was that they were calmer, more rational, and very good at cooperating with mortal troops.

They would not use their power armor to withstand the enemy’s fiercest firepower, but they knew to solve the problem when the infantry encountered difficulties.

In general, the battle was basically over and they won the final victory.

Although the troops under Gu Hang also suffered huge casualties, it was okay to win.

Seeing this scene, he could faint with peace of mind.

He really had a splitting headache due to excessive use of psychic energy.

However, he did not faint for long. It was only a few dozen minutes, which did not affect anything major.

After waking up again, he felt much better. Although he was still a little weak and did not dare to use psychic energy again for fear of more headaches, at least normal actions were not a big deal.

At this moment, the whole battle was basically over, and his soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield. For

the greenskins who were not completely dead, they would be shot a few more times, or stabbed in the head with a bayonet to completely crush them;

if they met their own comrades, they would have to collect the bodies properly; if they were really blown up so badly that they could not even tell each other’s bodies apart, they could only collect the heads. If they could not even collect the heads, there was nothing they could do.

But in any case, there was one thing that must be taken back – the soldier’s armband. On it, the number of the unit to which the soldier belonged and his own soldier number would be written.

In this way, the identity of the soldier could be found from the military and political affairs department built by Thadius.

All soldiers who died heroically should be remembered.

Gu Hang found the body of the orc warlord, and he called Martins to come over and help him: cut off the head of the orc warlord.

It was good that the head was not burned clean in the hot melt bomb.

Carrying the head, he went to the bridge command post accompanied by two space warriors.

As for the other two Space Marines… Rizzo has been taken away by another Space Marine for treatment.

…

The bridge command center of the Quintet.

Ye Lisia still puts most of her energy into commanding the battle of the ship. She has to keep an eye on the movements of the enemy ships and the various conditions of the Quintet.

However, in this process, she always has a part of her mind on the battle that broke out inside the starship.

After her own marines gathered their main forces and tried to stop the enemy’s attack and lost all in one wave, a huge panic had already enveloped her heart. What

she was most worried about was that her starship would explode from the inside during the battle.

Ye Lisia also knew that Gu Hang’s troops had received the help of four Space Marines. Of course, she had high hopes for these four angels of the Emperor.

However, from a rational point of view, can four Space Marines really win against an orc warlord?

She didn’t dare to think deeply about this issue, fearing that the result would be too despairing.

She could only focus all her attention on commanding the naval battle.

During this time, she destroyed another green destroyer, and a green frigate was blown up by the firepower of the Beautiful Girl.

Of the two frigates of the Beautiful Girl Caravan that were invaded by the boarding, one returned to normal, but the other had its void shield turned off and was destroyed.

But in general, the enemy’s ships still had one destroyer and two frigates left.

These remaining forces, even with the Quintet alone, were enough to wipe them all out.

If it were usual, such as when she was doing exercises and simulations at school, she should have opened the champagne and celebrated a victory with her colleagues in the command group.

But now she didn’t dare.

On the one hand, because this was the first serious naval battle she faced, she didn’t dare to be careless. How could she celebrate in advance until all the green warships were truly destroyed?

The victory or loss of this battle was countless times more important than the previous exercises and simulations.

On the other hand, there was a huge threat inside the starship, and there was no conclusion yet.

At this moment, news came.

Gu Hang came back and immediately went to the bridge.

“What about the specific situation of the battle? Did we win or not?” Ye Lixia asked.

“No… I don’t know.” The ship officer who delivered the message was sweating profusely, “Governor Gu didn’t say.”

Ye Lixia clapped her hands and wanted to curse.

Logically, if they didn’t win, how could Gu Hang dare to come and keep it a secret?

This should be a win.

But without any definite news, how could she be at ease?

In the end, she could only say hatefully: “Let him in.”

After that, just one minute later, the hatch of the bridge command post opened.

Then, gurgling, a huge head like a wheel rolled in.

Ye Lixia was startled, and the strong fishy smell filled her nose, making her almost want to vomit.

She is a soldier and a captain. It’s not that she has never seen dead people, but… with her noble status, she rarely goes to the bloody battlefield in person. Many cruel battles are shown in front of her, most of the time with a report, a string of numbers, and at best some filmed footage.

As a noble son of a naval family, a noble commodore of the Imperial Navy, why would he need to take risks in person? Even the pistol on his waist was just a ceremonial weapon.

But no matter how miserable she was, she would not scream.

She forced herself to look carefully at the head that rolled in front of her command desk.

This was the head of the orc commander.

She was so sure of it.

When she looked up again, she saw Gu Hang, who was pale but smiling proudly, striding over accompanied by two space warriors.

Standing in front of the commander’s head, Gu Hang said to Ye Lixia on the command desk: “I said, this is the starting point of our glorious road.”

Ye Lixia also smiled brightly, and the fishy smell in her mouth and nose became sweet.

Even if she hated the bloody smell of this important enemy, she hoped to smell it more.

“Governor Gu, you are a hero.”

She seemed to no longer care about the fact that before the war, Gu Hang used the Angry Owl Star troops who boarded the ship to threaten her. This

was not because she was generous, but because victory could cover up all contradictions.

The war was won, and the benefits she gained were immeasurable. Not only did she not mind Gu Hang’s threats at the time, she even thanked Governor Gu from the bottom of her heart for helping her to strengthen her determination.

If she let go of this merit, it would be a pity.

…

The death of the orc warlord was great news. She finally didn’t have to worry about it. During the battle, her starship exploded from the inside.

If the space battle was not still going on at this moment, and the greenskin ships were still charging in addition to the starship, she would have to prepare a welcoming ceremony for Gu Hang who was about to return.

And now, she can finally put all her thoughts on commanding the naval battle. The uneasiness in her heart was swept away, and she commanded the battle with high spirits and a calm mind. It felt that even the artillery fire became more accurate and fierce.

In contrast, after realizing that the battle inside the “Quinte” had subsided, the entire ship was no longer in chaos and no longer affected by the boarding battle, the remaining few ships of the greenskin fleet seemed to understand that their boss seemed to have played himself into it this time.

Although there was no definite news, they still hesitated. They did not run away, but stopped charging. They hesitated at a certain distance, and blasted against the Quintet and the Beautiful Maiden that was chasing from the side and behind.

This was obviously a free decision.

After another main destroyer was destroyed, the remaining three greenskin frigates did not even have the courage to continue fighting, and chose to flee directly.

However, if they only thought of running at this time, how could they escape?

The Quintet chased them, using the advantage of artillery fire from a distance, and began to call out names one by one.

In the end, when the three greenskin frigates started the jump and tried to escape into the star tunnel at all costs, their power and energy shield system failed, and they were all blown up before the jump began.

There was no heartache in blasting the greenskin ships.

The greenskin orcs’ starships were only used by themselves. For humans, even if they captured it, it would be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal that could not be driven. They could not even understand how such a pile of junk could sail stably in space.

After all the green warships were destroyed, the battle settlement scene appeared in Gu Hang’s perspective.

[A hearty victory, 1401 points of grace]

[Naval battle: 2 losses, 12 destroyed]

[Beautiful Girl Caravan (Allied): 2 losses, 2 destroyed]

[Imperial Navy (Allied): 0 losses, 10 destroyed]

[Land battle: 13468 losses, 2623 destroyed]

[Beautiful Girl Caravan (Allied): 5569 losses, 823 destroyed]

[Imperial Navy (Allied): 3763 losses, 508 destroyed]

[Phoenix Regiment (Allied): 0 losses, 63 destroyed]

[Angry Owl Star Force: 4136 losses, 1229 destroyed]

…

This battle settlement page is a little special. The naval battle was settled separately, and the destruction of the ship had little to do with Gu Hang.

The landing operation had more to do with him.

The damage caused by the orcs’ boarding operation was very large. The troops they brought up were all the most elite. The reason why the Beautiful Girls Caravan suffered more than 5,000 casualties was that there was a frigate that was boarded and almost all the people inside were killed. In the end, when many sailors were no different from unarmed, the casualties would definitely be huge.

The Quintet had elite marines and a large number of armed sailors. But the biggest wave of losses was the one that was pierced by Gurney Wildfang. Too many people died, and not many greenskins were killed or injured.

Only in Gu Hang’s battle, the battle loss ratio was relatively good, but it was mainly because heavy firepower could not be used, and he could only fight the greenskins face to face, which was very disadvantageous. In addition, in order to kill the orc warlord, many extra casualties were paid.

This battle actually lasted for a very short time. Compared with the battle to annihilate the greenskin clan in the ruins of the tower, which lasted for almost two months, the total duration of this battle, especially the land battle, may have been only a few hours.

But the intensity of the battle was extremely high.

According to Gu Hang’s estimation, just looking at the number of greenskins killed, the number of reward points should be only a few hundred. Even if those greenskins are relatively elite and have many killing cans, fear cans and other things, it should not be more than a thousand.

This is the ratio calculated according to the settlement of the battle in the ruins of the tower. In that two-month battle, his troops killed 15,000 greenskins and only got more than 2,000 grace points.

However, this time, with more than a thousand gains, there are thousands of grace points.

The biggest difference is probably on the head of the orc warlord.

At this time, Gu Hang had to be thankful that the one who got the final head was Lakrosa, his soldier.

If the final head was taken away by Martins, this victory would be counted on the head of the allied forces that did not give grace points, and there would probably be a lot fewer grace points when settling the accounts.

“I must give that kid a heavy medal!”
