Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 250

Chapter 250: Hold on for eight days, the Governor will arrive

the leg is broken, the head of the integrated sensor element is destroyed, and the shield generator is destroyed…

In this state, the Knight Titan is already very panicked.

This panic can be easily seen even by ordinary soldiers.

Although he still has powerful force in his hands. Although he can’t stand up, the gravity fist can still destroy any military unit in the Alliance Army at once. The guy is waving it in the air, fearing that something is approaching.

The howitzer launcher mounted on his left hand is also bombarding everywhere.

However, it’s all in vain.

On the contrary, the Alliance army can already deal with this Knight Titan well.

It’s like shooting a target.

Without the energy shield, the Knight Titan’s own armor strength is actually very high, but it is much easier to deal with.

Especially the Lion Tank’s rail gun and reflector laser cannon, all of which can cause terrible damage.

After a few rounds, the Knight Titan, which lost its mobility and energy shield, suffered a heavy blow.

All the weapon systems mounted on the two arms were offline. The gravity fist could no longer be swung, and the howitzer launcher had rotted away.

So far, although this Knight Titan has not been completely destroyed, it is almost the same, at least it is no longer a threat.

It can neither move nor attack to pose a threat. It can only be regarded as a huge iron coffin. The driver inside, Count Drex, is just waiting to die.

If you really want to destroy it completely, you have to bombard its most solid defense, the energy core and power core that are integrated with the cockpit, which is a bit too wasteful of firepower.

After all, the soldiers of the alliance are still in a state of war.

Since this Knight Titan is no longer a threat, you can ignore it for now.

Moreover, there is another benefit to ignoring this mecha.

The army of the Luman Kingdom is not willing to leave this mecha here. In particular, many officers and commanders of the troops are essentially vassals of the Drex family. The lord is trapped, so of course they have to come to rescue him.

This became a local situation of siege and attack.

Then… the enemy had the intention to retreat.

The remaining Knight Titan did not seem to have the intention to come to rescue his colleagues – nor could they rescue them. The Ranger Knights who had lost their mobility could not be towed away, unless the war was won and then engineering machinery was used to tow them.

But the driver of the remaining Knight Titan, who was also the commander of the entire army, obviously had no hope of winning the war.

He had already noticed that his rear army had been defeated by the Alliance Expeditionary Force that rushed out of the suburban town.

And when he saw Count Drex on the same level as him, he was defeated directly.

So what was there to fight for?

If he ended up like Drex… then he would rather bear the king’s punishment.

He gave the order to retreat.

However, he soon discovered that retreat seemed to be a luxury.

…

Perbov led his troops westward!

At the moment, the troops under his direct command amounted to more than 10,000 people, all motorized or mechanized infantry; in terms of armored vehicles, they included 300 infantry fighting vehicles and 18 Lion tanks.

This was the entire main force of the 37th Division, as well as a small part of the 38th Division.

They quickly destroyed the rear army of the Kingdom of Luman.

There were about 4,000 people, who built a temporary defensive position to prevent the alliance army from the suburban town from coming out.

However, without the “knights” sitting in, these ordinary kingdom soldiers were quite vulnerable. Under the full-speed attack of the armored forces, they could not even play a role of delay, and they were directly defeated.

Afterwards, Perbov had no time to chase these fleeing troops, but led the army to rush to the main battlefield.

And this battle must be fought well.

Perbov already knew the latest battle report from the front battlefield.

The main force of the 38th Division had fought well enough. Facing the strong attack of the enemy, the 38th Division, with its weak force, not only did not disperse at the first charge, but also dragged the main force of the Luman Kingdom into the quagmire while protecting the Governor’s mother.

However, although the 38th Division has been fighting bravely, the gap in force and weapons and equipment is objective.

If it weren’t for Lacrosha’s super performance, it would have to pay a higher price to kill the Knight Titan.

But fortunately, the remaining Knight Titan was scared.

This is just as Perbov had determined when he exchanged opinions with his military and political commissar before: No matter how bluffing these Luman Kingdom troops look and how powerful their mechas are, they are essentially a group of feudal system troops of the old era. The two of them really don’t think much of these people.

That is, they rely on the two Knight Titans to be powerful, and nothing else.

And the two Knight Titans are also the style of feudal lords. They are powerful, but they are also not looked down upon by Perbov.

The facts are indeed so.

The two Knight Titans failed to keep pace and cooperate well with each other. Now one died and the other escaped. It was really ridiculous.

What’s more, Perbov didn’t intend to let the one that was going to escape escape.

Perbov’s command style was always known for his reckless and fierce fighting style, but in fact, he never thought he was really reckless.

In the past, in many battles on the Wrathful Star, his troops always had various advantages. Especially in the battle to recapture the eastern provinces, the Alliance’s army always had advantages in quantity and the quality of military equipment.

So what’s the strategy? Isn’t it enough to allocate troops appropriately and then fight?

And now, he must be patient.

He also showed this patience.

Perbov wanted to keep the Knight Titan, but he didn’t rush to kill the Knight Titan.

According to the previous battle report, he had thought of some strategies.

How did the previous Knight Titan die?

It left its own army.

Imagine if there were a dozen Sentinel Mechs and a few hundred infantrymen at the feet of the Knight Titan at that time, how could the Alliance soldiers who had crippled it at the beginning get close? Even if Lacrosha, who was advancing alone behind, had a superb performance, it was impossible for him to withstand the firepower of the Knight Titan and penetrate hundreds of infantrymen and a dozen Sentinel Mechs alone to directly threaten the Titan – let alone Lacrosha, even if a squad of Space Marines came, it would be difficult to do this.

You can’t fight hard.

But on the contrary, without the cooperation of friendly forces, no matter how strong the Knight Titan is, it’s just like that.

No war weapon can fight completely out of an entire military system.

And if Perbov wants to eat this intact Knight Titan, the first thing he has to do is to cut off its wings.

Under his command, the armored group of the 37th Division, as the main force, chased the retreating enemy like a patient wolf pack. Most of the firepower of the armored vehicles and tanks was focused on the sentinel mechas, or if there was a good opportunity, they would fire a few shots at the places where the infantry were most densely packed.

The infantrymen who got off the vehicles also took the ordinary Luhmann soldiers as their main targets.

Retreating in the middle of a battle is actually a very challenging thing. If you don’t do it right, the retreat will turn into a real rout.

Obviously, the soldiers of the Luman Kingdom did not withstand such a test.

At the beginning, they could barely maintain the order of retreat, but under the constant pursuit of the armored forces, the morale of the Luman soldiers soon collapsed.

“Ha! Just as I expected!” Perbov grabbed the communicator and shouted: “Keep chasing! Charge! Rush these infantry and sentry mechas! No matter who escapes, anyone who dares to approach the Knight Titan will be beaten to death!”

He issued an instruction.

And his troops strictly implemented this instruction.

The remaining Knight Titan soon felt that he could not control the army. The messages he sent out either did not receive a response, or they responded but could not do it.

And the people around him were getting fewer and fewer.

The energy shield could protect himself, but it could not protect the few ordinary soldiers who were still by his side.

Although, during this process, the howitzer in his hand continued to fire at the armored forces of the Alliance, and four Lion tanks were bombed and grounded, and at least twenty armored vehicles were destroyed.

But at the same time, the last Luman soldier died at his feet, the last Sentinel mecha was destroyed, and the Knight Titan was completely alone.

Then, although his physical system, perception unit, and power system were all there, he still fell into the situation of “elephant to be slaughtered”.

Several infantry squads approached quickly under the cover of armored vehicles.

Knight Titan was very panicked.

He saw the end of Drex in front of him, and he didn’t know what the end would be next?

He has tried to avoid it. He destroyed several armored vehicles with infantry with howitzers, and when the infantry approached in groups, he kept hitting them with gravity fists and kicking them with his legs and feet…

But these soldiers from the Angry Owl Star are really not afraid of death!

Even though the people killed by the Knight Titan died miserably, it still did not deter the soldiers behind from rushing forward one after another.

How could a 6.2-meter-tall Knight Titan compare with an ordinary-sized infantryman? There were people on the left, right, front, and back. Even if he kept moving like a hyperactive person, he could not avoid being hurt by rockets and bombs that penetrated the energy shield at close range.

Soon, he lost his ability to move, just like Drex, and then his shield generator was dismantled, and then he was completely destroyed.

…

In the city of Pinsel, the war gradually subsided.

Ness Luman and Gu Ming, who could be regarded as the initiators of this incident, had a quarrel.

The reason was that Luman told Gu Ming that among the eight targets he designated, one person was definitely not on the Black Arrow Star and was on the starship in space and did not come down; three were dead, and three were captured alive.

Gu Ming scolded him back.

“But the most important one was let go by you!” Gu Ming’s emotions were out of control. “In your capital! Under the siege of your army! I provided you with those security loopholes! I also instigated some important security teams to rebel for you! But you, actually let people escape!”

“So incompetent! No wonder under your leadership, and with my secret support for you for so many years, the Kingdom of Luman can only rank third! It’s all because of you! Trash!”

After a scolding, Gu Ming was no longer the gentle and persuasive person he had been when communicating with Luman in the past.

He did lose his composure. Wang Qi ran away, which made him panic. He had already made a desperate bet. Even if the plan succeeded and all the people were killed or controlled, the subsequent aftermath work would also be difficult.

Not to mention that Wang Qi was not dead.

In panic and helplessness, he lost his mind and cursed at his “partner”.

Luman was a king. When had he ever been so angry in all these years?

He was almost angry.

But in the end, he still endured it.

He said with a gloomy face, “It’s not settled yet. The team that blocked Gu Hang has already intercepted Wang Qi. I have given them a death order. At all costs, they must catch the person. They must see the person alive or dead!”

Hearing this, Gu Ming’s mood calmed down a little.

He knew that there were two Knight Titans in the troops blocking the town outside.

This should be stable enough.

His tone became calm: “That’s good… Your Majesty Luman, please forgive me for being a little out of control just now. I take back what I said before. I’m really sorry.”

Luman certainly wouldn’t forget Gu Ming’s rude words just now so easily.

But now is far from the time to turn against each other, he can only bear the humiliation and put on a fake smile on his face.

However, just when he was about to pretend to be polite, the door was knocked.

“Your Majesty, urgent military information!”

After listening to the report, Luman didn’t have time to say anything before he heard a crisp sound behind him. Turning around, he saw Gu Ming lose control and slam the cup in his hand to the ground.

…

At the same time, in the suburban town, a conversation was also taking place.

Ms. Wang Qi, who finally settled down, was still in shock, but she had to cheer up and contact all parties.

She wanted to contact the starships in the sky and actively look for opportunities to evacuate.

But the result was not very good.

The civil strife of the eight chamber of commerce fleets had not been settled; the four chamber of commerce fleets that obeyed Gu Ming were very tenacious; the other two stood by and watched, and no one helped.

The orbital air defense system on the surface was a great threat. If the planetary orbit could not be occupied, the landing ship could not land.

Then, she turned to put pressure on the other six major powers on Black Arrow Star.

In this regard, there were certain results.

Luman, the current planetary governor, was essentially a rotation person pushed by the King’s Council. Black Arrow Star was not decided by him alone. The Kingdom of Luman was only ranked third in national strength on Black Arrow Star. There were also six other major powers of similar size.

These six major powers were also confused by Gu Ming’s sudden action.

Although, the response they gave now basically agreed to “try to mediate” without a definite commitment to send troops.

But it was still good news to know that not all of Black Arrow had rebelled.

The third communication was a communication with his son using the interstellar fleet.

Gu Hang did not say much during the call, but just calmed Wang Qi down and called Perbov and Leroy.

“You did a good job.”

Gu Hang praised, and then immediately gave a new order:

“Next, hold on for eight days. After eight days, I will be there.”
