Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 432

Chapter 431: No Hope, Wait for Death

Wu Jiarong didn’t believe that Frostfield IV could withstand the greenskins’ army.

Although this seemed to be the most reasonable explanation, Wu Jiarong still felt that those greenskins were holding back a big move.

But she didn’t tell anyone else.

First, there was no evidence, and second, it was useless to tell them.

Did they know that the greenskins were holding back a big move, so they would not defend Shangyuan Star?

That was obviously impossible.

The Star Domain Government and the Mingyang Sect have done their best to arm Shangyuan Star.

The Star Realm Army of the Dragon Eagle Legion gathered here, with 4 sub-corps, totaling more than 300 million troops; the Mingyang Sect’s religious army came with more than 200 million troops. The defense forces of many surrounding planets were drawn in large numbers, totaling more than 1 billion – it’s not that more can’t be mobilized, but the supply capacity and troop delivery capacity of Shangyuan Star must be considered. Otherwise, they would like to transfer more troops.

Five hundred warships can’t even fit in the orbit, so they are divided into two parts. One part is led by the mechanical arks with limited mobility, relying on the fortified starport, and together they form an orbital defense system. If the greenskins come to ram, they will definitely be rammed and bloodied.

And the orbit can’t fit, and if they force it in, it will be too crowded. The flagship of the Yunluo fleet, the Dragon Eagle, will lead another part of the high-speed ships to cruise in the void, and the main strategy is to retreat when the enemy comes, and harass when the enemy retreats. If the enemy dares to fight hard with the mechanical arks and the fortress starport, then the fleet cruising outside will hit the greenskin fleet’s ass; if they chase out, the squadron composed of all high-speed ships will run away. The main strategy is

to pull.

In short, all kinds of preparations have been made, and pre-war mobilization has been completed. It is absolutely impossible to give up because of a conjecture without evidence.

What’s more, if you give up, what will happen next?

Behind is the Steel Fire Dragon Star Zone, and two more jumps will reach Jindi Star.

Let the war start on Jindi Star?

The defense facilities there were more solid, but once there, there was really no defensive flexibility or retreat, and they were afraid that winning would be the same as losing – if Jindi Star was turned into a wasteland, then winning would be the same as not winning.

So be it.

Wu Jiarong could only do her best and continue to work for the war.

After all, she was here too and had to face the greenskins. If she really lost, her life would be seriously threatened.

Even if she had undergone quite advanced body modifications, in a war of this scale, the power of an individual was minimal, and whether she could survive depended mainly on fate.

In this tense preparation, another month and a half passed.

The greenskins finally came.

The Observatory had already detected information that a large number of ships passed through the astral tunnel from Frostfield IV to Upper Plateau.

The main force of the Irontooth Orcs was gathering.

The huge fleet even made humans give up the plan to go to the jump point to cause trouble. They only placed some void mines there, which were similar to land mines and sea mines and could be deployed in space areas. When a ship passes through the airspace, these void mines will be triggered to explode.

Generally, they will be placed at the jump point and around the orbit. These are the necessary routes for ships to pass through, so they can play an effective role.

However, the universe is too big and the explosion range is too small. The range of the jump point is as large as a dozen stars added together. It is impossible to cover them all. Otherwise

, how many would be built? Doing this is mainly to do one’s best and leave the rest to fate.

And there is no doubt that the greenskin fleet passed through the star tunnel without any damage and appeared in the Upper Plateau Galaxy. The orc flagship of Titus was among them, rushing towards the planet in a show of force.

At this point, the horn of war was officially sounded.

The greenskin fleet launched a fierce attack on the Upper Plateau without any buffer.

Their fierce and brutal offensive made it difficult for the human fleet to withstand. From the beginning of the battle, both sides suffered huge casualties from each other.

There is no doubt that the greenskins suffered more casualties.

The human side has made so many preparations before the war. Relying on the orbital defense system and the existence of the mechanical ark, the entire Upper Plateau has been built into a solid fortress. Of course, a strong attack will cost a huge price.

The greenskins

did this, which was a bit unexpected, but it was reasonable. This is the style of the orcs.

Irrational, but fierce enough.

However, the human race was relieved.

Although many orbital space stations were destroyed every day, ground fortress orbital guns were blown up, and small ships were destroyed. But the greenskins also suffered considerable casualties.

The greenskins deployed a group of ground troops with an interception rate of 80%, but they didn’t get anything in return for such a high price. One billion defense forces plus 300 million star forces plus 200 million cult forces, the ground defense capability of the Upper Plateau is quite strong. The millions of greenskins who came down are useless. They barely occupied a small corner, and it is estimated that they will be annihilated soon.

Even the orcs have no way to continue to send reinforcements.

An interception rate of 80% is too terrible. Even the greenskins cannot withstand this ratio of loss.

If the battle continues at this exchange ratio, even if the human fleet is completely destroyed, the orcs will definitely lose 90% of their combat effectiveness.

By then, even if the Upper Plateau is lost, the orcs will not have the strength to continue advancing.

When the Fury Corps and their fleet arrive, it will be time for humans to blow the horn of counterattack.

However, just as the human soldiers and members of the Mechanicus on the Upper Plateau were struggling to withstand the fierce attack of Titus and gritted their teeth in anticipation of victory, the turning point of the war occurred at a moment that no one expected.

The Dragon Eagle of the Yunluo Fleet sent an alarm. They observed a behemoth that had descended on the Upper Plateau system, and when it was discovered, it was not far from the planetary orbit.

This is really surprising.

The stargazers didn’t notice it at all!

Such a large thing should have been detected when it passed through the astral tunnel, not to mention that after entering the void of the galaxy, it should have been as bright as a star in the eyes of stargazers!

How could it appear without any warning?

What was even more frightening was the news that came from the Dragonhawk: they called this unknown green-skinned creation the “Battle Moon”.

This was an ancient term that had appeared in the historical records of the Empire.

At present, in the whole empire, the green-skinned orcs are a nasty threat, known as the “cancer of the universe”. Small ones make a planet miserable; large ones, like the Irontooth Orc Empire, put an entire star field in danger of extinction; the largest one, located in the southeastern border of the empire, is the “Blood Axe Clan” that spans three or four star fields. It is a huge stubborn disease for more than three hundred years, and the entire universe has become a war zone, fighting against it.

However, none of these can compare to the real “beast green tide” six thousand years ago. The six orc kings, contrary to their nature, united together, united almost all the orcs in the universe, and launched a huge waaagh. They even fought to Holy Terra. It was a huge crisis that was enough to destroy the human empire.

The final result was that the six orc kings were eliminated one by one, and mankind once again survived the crisis of extinction. And the historical records of the human empire also left a strong mark on this.

In these records, the ultimate war weapon of the orc empire is mentioned: the battle moon.

The name “Moon” shows how huge it is. It is really like a small planet.

It is the orcs’ home, with an efficient orcs’ ecological system built in, which can continuously produce new greenskins;

it is the orcs’ arsenal, which can produce all the technological products and war tools that the greenskins can produce;

it is the orcs’ fleet core, which can store an entire greenskins’ space fleet, and its own industrial facilities can even build new fleets;

it is an invincible space war machine, and its ruthless firepower in attack can destroy an entire human fleet in a short time. In defense, even a few sky-burning torpedoes or even extinction weapons such as earth-blasting planet destroyers cannot destroy it. The super strong structural strength and special built-in defense structure make the extinction weapons powerless.

In addition, the battle moon can tear the planet to absorb the usable materials inside, and then use the internal industrial facilities to manufacture new weapons, fleets, and repair its own damage. Therefore, in theory, if the defense limit of the battle moon is not overwhelmed, it will be able to fight indefinitely.

A dozen battle moons are the most powerful and desperate weapons of the orcs in the “beast green tide” that almost destroyed the human empire.

It is conceivable how desperate the human side was when the Dragonhawk said that a battle moon appeared in the Upper Plateau system.

So why fight?

No hope, just wait to die.

But soon, after the initial shock, people began to have doubts:

According to historical records, the green tide that swept across the empire was only a dozen battle moons; the Blood Axe Clan, the largest orc empire in the universe, only had one battle moon, which was enough for the human empire to do nothing about. A dozen warbands, countless imperial navy and star army gathered there, and they could only barely fight to a stalemate. In

the “small” place of the Dragonhawk star field, how could the Iron Tooth Clan, which had not yet unified the star field and even had only a few star regions a year ago, come up with something like a battle moon?

This is impossible!

Did the Dragonhawk see it wrong?

The captain of the Dragonhawk, who was also the commander of the detachment, actually doubted what he saw.

He could understand why its existence was not detected before. There are also some so-called “psychic boys” among the greenskins. The leaders of this kind of greenskins are called shamans and prophets. They also have many magical abilities. Perhaps it is their or the orcs’ special technology that has created the ability to cover up the observation of stargazers and applied it.

However, he doubted the thing itself.

In fact, if you calm down and take a look, although it looks like the battle moon in the records, it is much smaller. Although it is still many times larger than an ordinary warship, it is still different from the legendary thing that is really as big as a “moon”.

Is it a fake?

He wanted to try the quality, but he was a little afraid, afraid that if the quality was not tested, his entire fleet would be folded in it.

Hesitant and tangled, he could only keep sending warnings back, and then watched this “battle moon” come out of the orbit of the upper plateau star.

The greenskin fleet followed this new big guy and began to challenge the human orbital defense system again.

But this time, the result was very different.

The human side was already very wary of the battle moon, but its naval guns were powerful, and had a completely different accuracy from ordinary greenskin ships, and the range was also quite outrageous. After

two rounds of gunfire, a cruiser-level main battleship belonging to the Mingyang Sect suffered a fatal blow.

The destroyed wreckage fell into the planet’s atmosphere under the influence of gravity, and the crash would probably cause a considerable ground disaster. But at this moment, no one cared about this.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Shangyuan Star was finished.

Indeed, this battle moon was far less powerful than the legend. It was unknown whether it had the characteristics of those battle moons, and it had not yet been demonstrated, but in terms of combat power alone, it was still far from it.

But this strength was enough.

Combined with the huge number of greenskin fleets and the original flagship, in the next battle, the human space force would be completely unable to fight against it.

When one human ship after another was torn to pieces and one space station after another was easily destroyed in the next two hours, this view had almost become a reality.

So what should we do next?

Wu Jiarong was at a loss in the mechanical ark.

Then, she saw Chen Haixu.

The casting general of Jindi Star was walking hurriedly with a few followers.

Wu Jiarong was about to ask what to do next, but before she could speak, Chen Haixu had already spoken: “There is no time to delay, follow me.”

Wu Jiarong followed Chen Haixu in a daze and boarded a small fast ship.

The ship left the mechanical ark and hid in the planet’s atmosphere in the bombardment of naval guns all over the space, and then circled to the other side of the planet, where the situation was much more stable.

Then, the ship escaped from the atmosphere again and rushed at full speed in the direction away from Shangyuan Star.

Wu Jiarong on the ship was stunned at first. She thought Chen Haixu had some ingenious plan. Only now did she realize that the casting general was going to run.

Then, she felt a little scared:

she realized it later, but she was really lucky just now.

There were 20 to 30 ruling bishops on the Ark, but here, she only saw eight. The three main sages on board were all there.

The rest, whether in the Ark or on the surface of the Upper Plateau, seemed to have been abandoned.

She was neither of high status nor a confidant. If they hadn’t happened to meet, Chen Haixu would have no reason to bring her along.

In a situation where the war was doomed to fail and the mechanical Ark was likely to be destroyed, the difference in that moment was the difference between life and death.

She had walked through the gates of hell.

Some time ago, she was still lamenting the changes in her life, thinking that she had achieved success and fame, but now she was just a little bit away from death on the Ark.

The world changes so fast that it’s really scary.

Wu Jiarong, who was covered in cold sweat, came to her senses and thought of another point.

The main force of the human fleet was not safe and was about to be destroyed. The Upper Plateau fell, the gates of the Steel Fire Dragon Star Zone were wide open, and the Jindi Star would face the impact of the greenskins without the protection of the main fleet…

The overall situation of this orc war has undergone major changes.

She must pass the news to Gu Hang immediately.
