Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 362

362. Chapter 361, Mission Completed

“Report to the General! We have detected that the void shield of Fino City has dissipated!”

Upon hearing the news, the captain of the Concerto and the acting commander of the Pegasus Fleet, Major General Du Shiliang, immediately ordered: “Stop the attack immediately.”

“Ah?”

“What? There are our people inside!”

“Yes, General.”

The order to stop firing was given, and the person turned around and asked: “Then when will we fight?”

“According to the order of Gu Hang… Commander Gu, we will fight tomorrow.”

“Yes!”

After sending the adjutant away, he stood on the bridge and stared at the planet in front of him.

He couldn’t help but sigh: Everything is finally about to have a result.

He still remembered that there was a quarrel between him and Commander Gu.

But it did not involve personal grudges, but just some different views on work and tasks.

He didn’t want the Pegasus Fleet to continue to bombard Korojia’s ground. In his opinion, it was meaningless.

He couldn’t beat Gu Hang, who was now the commander of the theater, and had no choice but to follow orders.

Then just follow the routine. It’s wishful thinking to ask him to do more.

But he didn’t really care about this matter. Or rather, the reason he didn’t care was mainly because he didn’t think he could win the war by fighting like this.

He didn’t believe Gu Hang’s words that he could solve the void shield problem above Fino City right away. He just followed Gu Hang’s orders to prepare for the orbital strike.

At that time, he would fire the shells that should be fired, and the rest would be none of his business.

However, he didn’t expect that Gu Hang really did it.

The A-level psychic and the elite troops from his so-called “alliance” led by Gu Hang actually had such strong abilities?

How did they sneak into the city? How did they shut down the void shield?

Du Shiliang couldn’t think of it.

But it didn’t matter.

The void shield was really gone, which meant that victory in the war was just around the corner.

Of course, he would not launch an orbital strike at this time. According to Commander Gu’s request, the strike would have to be tomorrow at the earliest. He understood that it should be time for the elite troops who had sneaked in to evacuate.

Not only the elite troops that have infiltrated, but also a large number of regular troops are currently in the activated hive. It will take time for them to evacuate.

Firing now is murder.

Whether the void shield is temporarily shut down or really destroyed… To be honest, Du Shiliang doesn’t know. But he decided not to be greedy for the credit at the moment and just obey the orders.

Commander Gu is a capable man, and his orders are not blind.

And then, Du Shiliang also further experienced more changes in the battle situation.

The anti-orbital artillery firepower from the ground has weakened a lot.

Those evil energy cannons that pose a great threat to the fleet, especially the largest ones, gradually went silent in the following time. After a while,

one of them could not be fired.

This further represents that the situation in Fino City is getting better.

Du Shiliang is full of confidence.

…

Gu Hang is full of pressure.

Gowaga must have discovered it.

Maybe it was just a little suspicious before, and only sent a Chaos Army Front.

When this thing came out and fought with Martins and others, Gu Hang had already sensed it. It was because of the appearance of Chaos Army that Gu Hang felt that Gowaga must have noticed it.

Chaos Army is a reserve demon. Although it is difficult to take such a step forward, the status of this thing must be very high under Gowaga’s command, and the number is definitely not large.

It is self-evident what it means to be able to deploy this thing.

And now, this demon has been destroyed under the siege of Martins, Rizzo, and Grit.

Gu Hang blocked the thoughts transmitted by this guy, blocked the information of his death, and also made up a false message to try to reassure Gowaga.

However, even he himself knew that it would be difficult to deceive Gowaga again.

The special features of Chaos Army made it impossible for Gu Hang to make up a flawless lie. What’s more important is that Gowaga’s attention to his closest offspring is definitely not on the same level as that to ordinary lower-level demons.

Under his very close attention, the lies woven by Gu Hang are very easy to be exposed.

Gu Hang had already sensed the dangerous aura floating in the subspace.

He sensed the actions of Martins and others.

After destroying the demon engine supporting the evil void shield, they gave up the warhound Titan that could no longer move, and the remaining team split into two groups to destroy the anti-orbital evil energy cannons.

In this short period of time, three of the nine L-level evil energy cannons had been blown up. On the way, they also knocked down some smaller ones.

After the superposition core of the subspace and the real world guarded by Tomlinson was blocked by Gu Hang and another important demon engine was blown up, the remaining enemy forces were quite panicked, and they scattered when they were hit and rotten when they were rushed.

In fact, they still had a lot of remaining numbers, but on the one hand, there was no way to get almost endless replenishment, and on the other hand, after the command system failed, the demons would become like headless flies, and their morale would collapse, and their already low organization and discipline would become out of the question.

This is why Martins’ team had a much smoother time bombing other anti-orbital guns after destroying the demon engine.

There was not much time left before the scheduled three hours.

Gu Hang thought about it and sent a psychic message to them.

“Abandon the current target and rush back at full speed.”

The two teams were fighting hard at the moment. A large number of enemies who had almost no ability to resist were slaughtered by them; important anti-orbital guns were destroyed one after another by them.

However, there is no need to worry about the discipline of the team.

Although they were a little puzzled, since it was the order of Governor Gu, no one would violate it.

All members began to retreat.

It was not until the two teams reunited and returned to the central core area that Gu Hang finally let go of his worries.

During this process, Gowaga had not appeared yet.

However, the horrific turmoil in the subspace cannot be ignored, and Govaga has not appeared yet.

It is true that we should run away quickly before it comes.

One third of the troops and almost all the psychics were kept here so that they could run away at any time.

The demons who wanted to retake this place were blocked outside by the troops; the psychics maintained the teleportation array, waiting to be launched, so that they could start and run away at any time.

This was Gu Hang’s request.

The assault was planned boldly, but it was extremely cowardly when it was executed.

Be a little cowardly, it will be safer.

The hundreds of people now are the capital of Gu Hang’s cutting-edge troops accumulated in the past few years. There are only a little over 20 knight mechas, including self-production and black box production; there are six war dogs. Most of them were brought here. Not to mention the training of space warriors, which costs not only gift points and productivity, but also time for the superhuman organs of the recruits to grow.

More than 600, nearly 700 people were brought here, but only more than 400 returned now, which is a big loss.

But Gu Hang didn’t have time to feel sad.

After raising soldiers for a thousand days and making the tip of the knife, it is naturally to be used at the critical moment.

Now is the critical moment.

No matter how much loss there is, achieving the goal is the most important thing.

And now, it is the last step – safe evacuation.

The rear guard troops are arranged, and they will be the last wave back; the rest, according to the pre-arranged and rehearsed mode, step onto the teleportation array one by one and teleport away.

And the last rear guard troops, after throwing all the explosives in one go, temporarily destroyed the passage and repelled the enemy in front of them, also stepped into the teleportation array.

When leaving, there is no need to be as cautious as when sneaking in.

There is no time, let alone courage, to sneak through the subspace controlled by Gowaga.

However, the current location, that is, the core area of Fino City, and the superposition state of the subspace, the interference with psychic transmission is too high.

The risk of directly tearing open the space and teleporting over a long distance to leave Fino City is too high, and it is very easy to get lost due to the interference of the subspace.

Getting lost is equal to the whole group being wiped out.

But Gu Hang also has a way.

The Kingdom of Storms is a very good springboard. It is also part of the subspace, and it can be controlled by itself. It can be actively connected, with full security, and psychic teleportation to jump there. After the jump, Gu Hang took the initiative to tear open a hole from the Kingdom of Storms to the real world. The relevant signposts have been prepared in Mingyan City. It will be very smooth to return to the real world from the Kingdom of Storms.

In fact, this whole journey is exactly as Gu Hang expected.

The terrifying turbulence in the subspace makes people nervous, but Gowaga is still a step slower in the end.

Looking at the sky of Mingyan City, Gu Hang is full of relief.

When you get here, you don’t have to worry about the big fat man appearing.

The powerful demons of its level can only appear in places where the subspace erosion is particularly severe-that is, the core area of Fino City.

The marginal areas of Fino City can’t support his existence, let alone they are in Mingyan City now.

Korojia’s reality curtain is not fragile to that extent, so there is no need to worry that the big unclean will come here to cause trouble for him.

Reassured, Gu Hang asked Martins and his team to go down to rest, while he himself went to the highest point of Mingyan City.

The view was good, but Finos City, which was hundreds of kilometers away, could not be seen. But he still stood here and looked in that direction.

By the way, the communication with the frontline combat troops was also connected.

After a few words, Gu Hang roughly figured out what the current situation was on the front line.

Although he and his elite troops had withdrawn, there were still millions of regular troops in Finos City.

These troops suffered huge casualties and broke into there, making a very significant contribution to disrupting the strength of the combination between the subspace and the real world. Without them, Gu Hang’s previous operation of leading the troops to sneak into the center of Finos would have been much more difficult.

Now that their mission in Finos City has been completed, those regular troops do not need to continue to persist.

An hour ago, the front line had already begun to gradually withdraw troops.

They will have a whole day to withdraw from Finos City.

One day later, the orbital bombardment from the Pegasus Fleet will go all out to destroy an entire hive city and project firepower.

Although the time is short and the task is heavy, there is still good news.

The difficulty of evacuation is not at the same level as the frontal attack and occupying a part of the area inside Fino City.

It is not just the difference between attack, defense and retreat, but mainly because the enemy had some inexplicable reactions two or three hours ago.

Their command system seems to have problems. Many troops have become confused and the attack on the positions occupied by human troops has become slow. This has reduced their pressure and at least they can breathe.

The troops with reduced defensive pressure began to retreat gradually. The front positions were abandoned one by one, and the rear positions had to be defended first. After the people in front withdrew, they began to retreat.

The entire evacuation operation and plan were relatively orderly.

Retreat is not a rout. The biggest difference between the two lies in the organization of the troops.

Although the Plague Demon Army has suddenly become very chaotic, it is still aggressive. If they just run and lose their organization, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties during the pursuit, and the speed of evacuation may not be very fast.

At present, the main elite troops should be able to withdraw relatively safely. And after 24 hours, most of the troops should be able to withdraw.

And if there are troops that have not withdrawn by then…

there is nothing we can do.

Objectively speaking, with a scale of about one million people and the enemy still entangled, one day may not be enough to withdraw all the troops in an organized manner.

But there is no way.

The troops that have not withdrawn by then may be buried with the city of Fino.

Gu Hang didn’t want to see that scene, and felt that he had betrayed the soldiers on the front line. But he had to calm down and make the necessary decisions when necessary.

After the demon engine in the underground core of Fino City was destroyed, Gu Hang ensured that within one day, it would be impossible for Fino City to produce another demon engine to support the void shield.

If we put it in two days, it probably won’t work.

Three days won’t be enough.

Gu Hang didn’t dare to set the orbital bombardment time to a particularly extreme time point.

If the time is extended to two days just to evacuate more regular troops, what if the void shield is really raised?

Then all the deaths of so many people were in vain.

Gu Hang has conveyed the relevant bombing orders to the Pegasus Fleet; the deadline for evacuation has also been informed to Li Kexi, the front-line commander.

As for the rest, just wait and see the big fireworks in Fino City.

In general, Gu Hang was in a good mood, and everything was roughly within his plan.

But just as he was smiling and had time to find someone to make a cup of hot tea, he just took the first sip, and suddenly he felt a shock in his heart:

he felt that a powerful existence had hit his Storm God Kingdom hard!
