Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 353

Chapter 352, ‘Prey’

When the soldiers on Koroja were preparing for the final fight required by the Governor; when the officials and people in Mingyan City were working hard for the Governor’s war plan; when Lao Yisi, the star domain envoy, was bearing pressure from all sides for the Governor, what was the Governor doing?

The Governor himself was on a picnic.

There were six people with him on the picnic.

The first one was Martins, the leader of the Phoenix War Corps, and there was no need to introduce

him. The second one was Eureka Panpos. He came from Black Arrow Star and was originally the prince of Panpos, the largest kingdom, and the driver of the Knight Titan of Black Arrow Star. Later, with the support of the Alliance diplomats, he forced his father to abdicate and became the King of Panpos – of course, the king in the Alliance era was almost a purely honorary position, and the management authority was almost all in the Alliance government.

And he himself, with this identity as a king, also joined the Alliance’s “Alliance National Knights” and continued to shine as a Knight Titan driver.

This is a very important political signal, which means that the alliance accepts the old forces of Black Arrow Star.

Even your king can continue to hold important power in the alliance, so what do you have to worry about?

Originally, his position in the Knights was more symbolic than practical. Could it be that the alliance really lacked such a driver? However, as time went on, Governor Gu began to gradually let him hold more power.

The reason for this is of course that Governor Gu found on the [Hero] interface that King Eureka really recognized the alliance and his loyalty was guaranteed. So he went to Zhongsi Academy on Angry Owl Star, spent grace points to activate the hero attribute, and spent grace points to train him to become a political commissar. After ensuring his loyalty, Gu Hang simply let this driver who really has outstanding potential lead the Knights of the Alliance as a king.

He is not afraid of accidents.

Nothing will happen.

The third and fourth are Leonardo Neves and Earo Lacroxia. They all came from the Tenth Brigade of the Alliance. The latter was a super soldier with outstanding achievements. He also changed into a feedback power armor. He was the strongest in the Alliance except for the Space Marines. His personal level reached LV5 and had extraordinary potential. In fact, some Phoenix recruits could not beat him.

However, Lacrosha had no talent and ability to command troops, and he was unwilling to do it. Neves was the commander of the Tenth Brigade and a brigadier general of the Alliance. When the military commander of general brigade-level units was only a lieutenant colonel or a colonel at most, he, a brigadier general, showed the importance of the Tenth Brigade.

The fifth was Dany Deris, the head of the Storm Mage Corps of the Alliance.

These five were all members of the Alliance.

The sixth had a special identity.

She was the head sister of the Holy Lily Sisters, Ms. Grit.

The Holy Lily Sisters was a combat sister order with more than 400 combat sisters before the war. Their main responsibility was to garrison and defend the missionary work of the State Church on Koroja 3, and to preach by themselves. In addition, they responded to the call of the Empire and the State Religion and participated in the wars in other galaxies.

The Holy Mercy Lily was born out of the Holy Fire Rose Convent, which is a third-class convent under the Holy Fire Rose. Compared with the most famous large-scale convents of the State Religion, such as their former sects, the Holy Mercy Lily is very small; but for Korojia, they are an extremely important defense force.

In fact, before this, most of the fighting sisters of Grit and the Holy Mercy Lily fought on the front line, especially in Fino City.

In the wars of the past few years, the Holy Mercy Lily has lost more than a hundred nuns. They always fight on the front line and go wherever there is danger. They have indeed provided great help.

But they still failed to stop the spread of the plague.

Until Fino City was abandoned, they had to withdraw and now have reunited in Mingyan City.

There are still more than 300 nuns now.

Logically speaking, even if Gu Hang has become the Governor of Korojia, he has no power to directly govern the Holy Mercy Lily. They belong to the state religion, and although they are also part of the empire, they are completely two different systems.

However, the commander of the war zone is another matter.

Even apart from this part of the power relationship, the Holy Lily itself is willing to contribute to this war against the plague demon.

After Gu Hang talked with the bishop of the state religion in the Korojia Diocese, Zhao Qinghong, and the leader of the nuns, the head nun Medixi, they were willing to send a team of 100 people to participate in Gu Hang’s action.

The leader of this team is the head nun Gorrit, who has cooperated with Gu Hang and helped a lot in the establishment of the alliance.

At this moment, the place where they are outing is located on the west side of Mingyan City, on the edge of the army position that is building a defense line. This is a cliff.

The six people were silent, waiting for Governor Gu, who closed his eyes but made a look-out gesture, to fall from mid-air.

Gorrit was the most impatient.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Governor, is this the place? Is this the place we are looking for?”

Gu Hang slowly opened his eyes, turned around, and said, “Although the conditions are not so perfect, we can’t always pursue perfection in everything. Let’s choose here.”

After a pause, he continued, “Next, I will mobilize a division to set up a secret camp on the cliff. After you go back, you must bring your teams here separately. We need to make some preparations in advance.”

Brigadier General Neves asked, “What about you, Governor?”

“I’ll be waiting for you here.” Gu Hang laughed softly, “It’s not an easy task to teleport more than a thousand people, as well as big guys like Ranger Knights and War Dog Titans, to the core of Fino City. We have to go through many obstacles and deceive a big demon. There are still many things to do.”

Hearing the word “big demon”, everyone was awe-inspiring.

Gu Hang said to the six people seriously: “The army of the Empire is on full alert, and the subjects of the Empire are doing their best to contribute to the battlefield. But the most important part of this war is here. We are responsible for stopping the demon cave, paralyzing its void shield, and cutting off its connection with hell. Even if everyone involved in this battle is a well-deserved elite or even a hero, it is still unknown how many people can come back alive. You must prepare the team mentally.”

Grit and Martins stood up almost immediately: “For the Empire!”

The others hurriedly followed.

Gu Hang also responded seriously: “For the Empire!”

…

After 103 Terra standard days, the creeping nest city ‘Fino City’ is already within reach.

The distance between it and Mingyan City is only more than 600 kilometers.

But in fact, it has already hit the western defense line of Mingyan City.

More than 60 million troops, forming more than 80 army groups, stretched out a strategic depth of more than 600 kilometers on a battlefield nearly 200 kilometers wide. In between, bunkers, trenches, and sentry towers were densely packed, forming layers of defense lines.

Lieutenant General Hans was still very capable. The difficulty of organizing an army of 60 million people was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even if he had a large staff group and a large number of officers who had been sent down to the front had strong independent execution capabilities, it was still an extremely difficult and terrifying thing to organize such a behemoth in such a vast area.

Lieutenant General Hans could no longer manage the division-level units. He could only manage the army group at most. More than 80 army groups divided their defense zones and were ready to mobilize at any time.

But even so, the human army still wove a huge net in this reserve battlefield with an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers, waiting for the arrival of the “prey”.

And now, the “prey” has come.

But who is the prey?

The creeping city of Fino obviously regarded the human army that set up the net as its “prey”.

After swallowing a nest city, the city has further expanded in size. The side that faces the human army is 80 kilometers wide.

After Fino City entered the range, thousands of cannons fired at the same time.

The imperial artillery smashed the most fierce firepower on the creeping nest city.

The void shield composed of the evil magic of the subspace suddenly appeared and enveloped the entire city.

The shells stirred up waves on the void shield, and the effect was quite significant.

In the previous battle, the firepower of the accompanying self-propelled artillery at the same time was far less than the firepower density that had been prepared for several months. At this moment, under the arrangement of the generals and officers of the human army and divisions, the artillery was arranged very reasonably. The current artillery array arrangement is the most suitable for intensive bombardment.

The effect of countless shells falling is even comparable to the previous Pegasus fleet’s naval artillery bombardment.

If the city of Fino did not react, and just stayed there to be bombarded by countless human artillery for a day or two, the void shield would really be broken.

Even ants can kill elephants, not to mention the serious army heavy artillery.

But things are obviously not that easy.

How could the creeping nest city, which was strengthened by the evil magic of the subspace, not react?

The plague flies that covered the sky and the sun roared out from the high towers of the city. Wherever they flew, the sunlight was blocked and the sky became dark.

Countless anti-aircraft firepower began to fire into the sky, and there was no need to worry about hitting the target. Such a dense swarm of flies could be hit at will.

Countless sparks bursting in the air threw countless charred and broken giant fly corpses to the ground.

But despite this, it still could not stop such a large number of plague flies from attacking.

They are both living creatures, the lowest level of plague monsters, and “cannonballs”.

One after another, giant flies swarmed and swooped down from the sky. When the height dropped to a certain level, even the guns in the hands of human soldiers could kill them. But these brainless demons still insisted on diving down, aiming directly at various predetermined units: artillery positions, anti-aircraft positions.

Seven corrupt dragons appeared under the cover of plague flies. The heavy corrupt breath covered a large area of ground positions with plague toxins. The human soldiers who were directly enveloped in the breath wailed and died in pain; even steel would be temporarily activated into flesh and blood because of the power of this terrible plague demon, and would not return to its original steel state until the breath dissipated, but it had already been distorted and deformed.

That is to say, in recent years, all soldiers fighting on the front line have been issued corresponding protective masks and chemical protective clothing. Otherwise, not only would the people and animals be wiped out in the position directly breathed, but even some soldiers farther away would be infected with the disease on the spot because of breathing the plague toxins, lose their combat ability, and die quickly in the next few days.

The sky of the battlefield has almost been occupied by demons.

The human side actually has thousands of fighter planes.

However, this number seems to be a lot, but compared with the enemy, it is far behind. On the battlefield today, there is no way to rely on these few fighter planes to gain air superiority.

But can we not fight if we can’t win?

Risking a huge numerical disadvantage, the first batch of hundreds of fighter planes of various types took off from the ground. The main goal is to coordinate with the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground, try to reduce the number of plague flies in an area, and defend our precious anti-aircraft positions and artillery positions.

The plague giant flies can’t fly too high and their speed is not very good. These shortcomings allow human fighter planes to seize many opportunities. After the fight, you can pull up the altitude and leave, go back to replenish ammunition and fight again.

However, there are also careless people who are destroyed in the air-the corrupt dragon does not have those weaknesses!

They can even use evil methods to throw the plague flies around them into the sky like cannonballs; or, under the cover of the plague flies, they will sneak under the fighter plane, then suddenly rush up, rush to the fighter plane at a very fast speed, and tear it apart with their sharp teeth and claws… But the

sacrifice of human fighter planes is also valuable, at least when the number of things of the level of corrupt dragons is still small, there are seven in total. When their eyes are fixed on the sky, the pressure on the ground will be reduced.

However, no matter how fierce the anti-aircraft firepower is, and how heroic the human pilots are, the sky that cannot be taken back is still not taken back.

And the demons’ ground attack has also begun.

Countless demons, like a tide, poured out from the creeping nest.

Regardless of the “road”, it is possible to open a hole in any living wall, and then the plague zombies will rush out of it.

These corrupt enemies hold guns in their hands. Some of them looked like weapons of the corrupted human army, while others were simply guns and cannons created purely by the evil magic of the subspace in the real universe, firing vicious evil bullets.

The brutal ground battle began.

The human forces had to engage in close-range firefights with the enemy after losing their air superiority and their long-range heavy firepower constantly suffered from enemy air strikes and thus failed to provide timely support.

The giant cannons in the creeping hive also began to show their power, bombarding the human positions everywhere with one shot after another.

In the sixth hour after the battle officially began, the first line of defense of the human army was completely lost and collapsed.

In this process, the advance speed of ‘Fino City’ did not slow down at all. The human army did not break into the interior of Fino City at all, and failed to threaten its flesh and blood, so naturally it could not slow down.

With this, Fino City advanced firmly to a distance of twelve kilometers.
