Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 414

Chapter 413: Heaven and Earth Collapse

SplitsAfter several jumps and entering the Jinguan Star Region, the Tianma Fleet was actively seeking the latest news from the front line.

But no news came back.

The Yunluo Fleet and the Northern Fleet were all out of contact.

When the space fleet is sailing and fighting, because the ships are in high-speed motion most of the time, or even in the shuttle of the star tunnel, and the specifications of the star language towers on each ship and the level of the star language are different, it is normal that they often cannot contact each other.

However, the two fleets, no ship can contact, and they can’t contact for several days, which is a bit scary.

Not only that, after they entered the interior of the Jinguan Star Region, they sailed forward for a short time and actually encountered the ships of the Iron Tooth Orcs!

There should be no green skins in the Jinguan Star Region.

From the fallen area to the Jinguan Star Region, the most core location is Baiwu Star and Yinguan III. To enter the Jinguan Star Region from the fallen area, these two star systems are must-go places.

These two places have not been lost yet, how can the green skins get through?

They still had some luck in their hearts, thinking that it was just a predatory invasion by a small group of greenskins.

This is possible.

A star system is so large that there are usually only one, two, or at most three or four developed colonized planets. Even if space fortresses, space stations, and even giant structures are built, the area that can be covered is still limited.

But in the universe, the empty void is the most. Looking up at the night sky, the stars are really eye-catching, so that people ignore the large area of darkness in the background.

If you want to completely guard a star area and not let a mosquito fly over, there is only one way: block the star tunnel jump point in the galaxy.

The scale of the universe is so large, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of light years. Without star tunnels and time and space jumps, it takes too long to reach different star systems, which can almost be regarded as an impossible thing.

However, it is actually quite difficult to block the jump point.

Although the jump point is a “point”, it is in terms of the scale of the universe. In fact, it is a very large area. Some small ones are as big as several stars added together, and some large ones are even as big as hundreds or thousands of stars. As long as you are in that area, you can make a jump.

How difficult is it to block it?

There are some particularly important galaxies, such as the solar system where the capital of the human empire, Holy Terra, is located. They will really set up multiple star fortresses at all the jump points to ensure that all the ranges of the jump points are covered by the defense of the star fortresses, ensuring that no one can sneak in.

But most galaxies cannot build such a large space fortress far away from the planet.

Not to mention the difficulty and cost of construction, the long-term maintenance is a huge expense.

It is good to build a space station near the jump point, where people are stationed for a long time, and use it as an observation platform to monitor the actions of the jump point. Many galaxies do not even have such conditions.

In this case, it is normal for a small group of enemies to slip through the defense in the vast void and jump from the star tunnel to other places.

Didn’t Ye Lixia cooperate with Gu Hang on the Angry Owl Star to annihilate a small green fleet back then? Those greenskins might have sneaked in like this, and they didn’t expect to capture the planet. They were mainly used for looting, massacre, harassment of shipping routes, etc.

The Pegasus Fleet annihilated several small fleets they saw.

The largest was no larger than a destroyer, and most of them were ordinary patrol ships.

The greenskins’ garbage ships were still garbage. Under the same specifications, they could not beat human ships. Moreover, due to their nature, the greenskins’ garbage ships were generally thin-skinned and large-gunned, which made it uncomfortable for them to bombard them a few times. On the contrary, a single shot could often directly smash the shield and the ship.

While clearing out these small orc pirate fleets that invaded the Jinguan Star Region, the Pegasus Fleet was still persevering in trying to find out the latest situation on the front line. On

the one hand, they continued to work hard to call the Northern Fleet and the Yunluo Fleet, and on the other hand, they also actively sent patrol ship formations to the front battlefield to try to figure out what was happening in front of them.

New news finally came.

A fast patrol ship formation, after exploring two star systems, finally got news from the Yunluo Fleet.

I didn’t see them, but they were in the same star system. The astropathic system was finally able to break through the interference and get in touch.

This was a catastrophic news: the Yunluo fleet had been defeated and was retreating to regroup. The Northern Fleet had either been completely wiped out or would soon be completely wiped out. In any case, it was finished.

According to this new branch of the Yunluo fleet, they lost a battle at Yinguan III. Their initial mission was to rescue the Northern Fleet, but when they just jumped to Yinguan III, they encountered an ambush that the greenskin fleet had planned in advance. The number of ships on the other side was about the same as theirs. If they fought normally, they should be able to win with the capabilities of human ships.

However, for some reason, the observation system of the human fleet did not warn of this ambush. The auspicious instrument did not warn, the thinker array did not warn, and the fleet that jumped into Yinguan III first sent back all normal information, which led to the occurrence of this ambush.

The greenskin ship was rotten, that was rotten in structure, rotten in speed, rotten in hull strength… Everything could be rotten, but the firepower was definitely not rotten.

The Yunluo Fleet, which had just completed the jump, was directly hit by two rounds of salvos.

If the fleet had not reacted quickly enough and the shield had not been put up in time, the result would not have been a defeat, but annihilation.

The Northern Fleet failed to rescue, and the Yunluo Fleet itself suffered a great loss. They destroyed part of the greenskin fleet and suffered losses themselves, but just when they were still thinking about whether to continue the rescue mission, they detected that a greenskin fleet of no less than their number had arrived again.

What else can be said, just run.

After running and chasing all the way, most of the Yunluo Fleet still escaped, but they were scattered and needed to regroup.

As for the Northern Fleet… it can basically be declared hopeless.

Even if they are not destroyed, it is probably just a matter of time.

The Northern Fleet is finished, and what they will face next is the swarm of greenskins. This is a pessimistic idea;

the Northern Fleet can still hold on for a while and continue to delay the main force of the orcs in Yinguan III for as long as possible. This is an optimistic idea.

The Yunluo Fleet also made a corresponding request, hoping that the Tianma Fleet could continue to perform the rescue mission, but the target of the rescue changed from the Northern Fleet to the scattered Yunluo Fleet.

So what should be done?

The Tianma Fleet could only do as requested.

The Yunluo Fleet still needed to be rescued.

In the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region, there are only three serious naval forces, ranked in order of strength: Yunluo Fleet, Northern Fleet, and Pegasus Fleet.

Although there is such a ranking, in fact, the strength of the three fleets is not much different. The strongest Yunluo Fleet only has three more cruisers than the Pegasus Fleet.

The rest are just small fleets of local forces. The Alliance Navy is considered very strong and can be ignored.

The Northern Fleet is almost gone, which basically means that the naval force of the Dragon Eagle Star Region has been reduced by one third. The Yunluo Fleet must be rescued, otherwise there will only be the Pegasus Fleet left, and it will definitely be difficult to support itself in the future.

They came to the Jinguan Star Region to get support, which is reasonable.

However, the situation really changes three times a day.

Just when the main force of the Pegasus Fleet let go of a small greenskin fleet and was ready to meet them according to the several locations given by the Yunluo Fleet and cover the Yunluo Fleet to reunite, new news came again: the speed of the greenskin fleet chasing out was even faster than expected.

The Yunluo Fleet was forced to go to the predetermined location. They could only continue to run all the way to the southwest. They were about to run out of Jinguan and run to the Curse Bone Star Region in the southwest.

At this moment, the position of the Pegasus Fleet suddenly became awkward.

You ran away, what should I do?

After receiving several small boats from the Yunluo fleet, they suddenly got the news that the Tianma fleet had fought a small-scale greenskin pursuit fleet. After winning the battle, they did not dare to pursue and expand the victory, and could only retreat in disgrace.

On the way of retreat, the naval commanders were all worried.

In terms of position, they were more dangerous than Yunluo.

However, there was also good news.

The main force of the Irontooth Orcs did not focus on them, but continued to pursue the Yunluo fleet, burning the war all the way to the west and south.

The direction of the Tianma fleet’s withdrawal was to the southeast of the Jinguan Star Region, that is, the Eagle Horse Star Region, which was a different route.

But even so, they were caught up when they just entered the Eagle Horse Star Region.

That was on the Steel Wing Star.

The Steel Wing Star can be said to be the most important position of the Eagle Horse Star Region in this war. It is a well-connected transportation route. To the south, it leads to the hinterland of the Eagle Horse Star Region, and a little further southeast, you can enter the Fache Star System in the Tianma Star Region. That is the core area of ‘Seven Horses’.

Going northeast, it borders the Wuma Star Region. The Wuma Star Region may not have a good time in the future, as it borders the Tongguan Star Region, which is also close to the occupied area. But fortunately, the Tongguan Star Region is not the focus of the war at the moment, and the situation is not bad – if the latest intelligence update is correct.

From the Steel Wing Star to the northwest, it is the Golden Pass Star Region.

A long time ago, the Steel Wing Star could almost be regarded as a strategic location, the focus of many surrounding star regions, with perfect garrison fortifications, and could even be regarded as a fortress world.

However, in the era when the Eastern Universe was unified and the Dragon Eagle Star Region was generally peaceful, there were no enemies around the Steel Wing Star, and it gradually lost the need to be a fortress world, and then turned into a trade hub. But a few decades ago, after the rise of the Iron Tooth Clan, the surrounding situation became chaotic, resulting in a sharp drop in trade volume, and it became a little declining.

Until six years ago, when the war broke out again, the role of Steel Wing Star was taken seriously again, and it became the rear base camp for attacking the Jinguan Star Zone, and the hub for the mobilization of supplies and troops.

After retreating to Steel Wing Star, Ye Lixia said in a military meeting:

“We can’t retreat anymore.”

After hearing Ye Lixia’s words, no one said anything.

Everyone was a little flustered and confused.

Tillemans didn’t speak either.

Ye Lixia sat in the meeting room of the Quintet, looking at the virtual images of her colleagues, sighed, and said, “If we retreat further, there is no way to retreat. Do we have to retreat all the way back to the Pegasus? Without our defense, the Eagle Horse will surely fall completely. No space force can compete with the Iron Teeth Greenskins. By then, those greenskins will still chase into the Pegasus Star Region, and we still can’t avoid this war.”

“Why not stay on Steel Wing Star? From here on, there is no planet more suitable for defense than Steel Wing Star.” “

If we stay here, we can also ask the Eagle Horse Star Region to mobilize all available forces. The Pegasus Star Region will also give us full support. On the contrary, if we retreat to Pegasus, we will only have the manpower and material resources of the Pegasus Star Region.”

After Ye Lixia’s analysis, everyone’s mind was roughly settled.

Considering her words, everyone had to admit that she was right.

Staying on Steel Wing Star, at least there is a way to retreat.

Even if they really can’t defeat the greenskin fleet in the decisive battle in space, they can always protect themselves by hiding under the firepower platform, armed space station and star fortress of Steel Wing Star. And because the defense facilities and troops on the surface of Steel Wing Star are relatively sufficient, it is not easy for the greenskins to take the planet through ground attack.

All in all, this is indeed the most suitable place for defense.

But the final question is… you want the alliance to send people and manpower to help defend, but you don’t go back to the Pegasus area to defend, but defend outside?

Is the leader of the alliance willing?

Ye Lixia saw that the virtual images of these colleagues were looking at her, and she also sighed with a wry smile:

“I’ll go and talk.”

“Then let’s decide it.” Tillemans made the final decision.

…

“No problem, I support your decision.”

After listening to what Ye Lixia said, Gu Hang agreed without much thought, and

Ye Lixia breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, it is difficult for ordinary imperial officials to accept such things.

We all know that the lips and teeth are cold, but why don’t you warm me when I’m cold? Do you have to make me warm others?

But fortunately, Gu Hang is not such a person.

While thinking about it, Gu Hang went further and said: “The Alliance will not only support the war on Steel Wing Star, but I will also lead the troops there in person. The Alliance Navy, the Alliance Army, the Phoenix Regiment, the 3rd Army Group of the Dragon Eagle Legion, and the Angry Bear Legion will all participate in this war!

Oh my God!

Thank you [Axe of the Opening Mountain] for the leader’s reward again!!!

Now it’s 74k…
