Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 439

Chapter 438: Humanity will win

The Temir Galaxy is located in the southeast corner of the Golden Pass Star Region. It is the only way to connect the Golden Pass and the Eagle Horse, and it is also the main transportation route in the entire Golden Pass Star Region. In this star system, there are five star tunnels, three of which are connected to the three star systems in the Golden Pass Star Region, and the other are connected to the Copper Pass Star Region and the Eagle Horse Star Region.

At the same time, the value of the Temir Galaxy itself is not low. In this star system, there are three habitable planets orbiting Temir, namely Planets 2, 4 and 5.

Before the danger of the Iron Tooth Orcs appeared, these three planets had a total population of 20 billion. Planet 2 is a large agricultural world with 4 billion people, and the food produced is enough to supply the entire star region with surplus.

Planet 4 is a mineral and industrial world, mainly focusing on heavy industry and raw material exports. It originally had a scale of about 4 billion people.

Planet 5 is a civilized world with a population of 12 billion and many cities.

Not to mention how great it is, the three worlds in the star system have their own advantages and can complement each other.

Coupled with the property of being a major transportation route, this place can be called a pearl land – only before the rise of the Iron-toothed Greenskins.

After the orcs came, there was nothing to say.

After the fall of the fourth district, the Golden Pass Star District became a battlefield. Although the Temir galaxy was not in the main battlefield category at the beginning, after all, it was located in the hinterland of the Golden Pass Star District at that time. However, precisely because it was close and had some foundation, when the star domain government fought against the Iron-toothed Orcs, many forces were directly drawn from the three stars of Temir.

This has been draining blood for decades, and the Greenskin Orcs have invaded Temir several times from the south, making these three planets, which were originally quite good, desolate.

It sounds miserable enough, but in fact it is not fatal.

No matter how desolate it is, the productivity and population of the planet are here anyway. At most, the development potential is hollowed out, the living standards of the population are greatly reduced, famine occurs, and various comprehensive problems lead to a decline in population…

This is the worst possible situation. The few times that the green-skinned orcs came to the Temir galaxy, they only made trouble for a short period of time, and the number was not large. The human army would still quickly drive them out. After all, the Temir galaxy is also one of the few bases in the territory after Jinguan became a war zone. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the human army will certainly not give up these three worlds.

However, the previous battle that took the initiative to attack but collapsed under the counterattack of Titus caused Temir to suffer a devastating disaster.

The Northern Fleet was destroyed and Yunluo ran away. After the loss of space power, a large number of elite human ground forces were trapped in the four galaxies in the southern part of the Yinguan star region, and there was no news. The Jinguan star region, which had been pacified, suddenly opened its doors and the orcs swarmed in.

Although the main force of the Iron Tooth Clan was divided into two at Jinguan, the army, led by Titus, went all the way west and burned the war to the heart of the star region; a powerful detachment led by the One-Tooth Ghost went east to Eagle Horse. However, the greenskin orcs who stayed in the Jinguan star region alone still caused the collapse of this star region.

When Du Shiliang brought his fleet to the Temir galaxy, the first thing he did was to carefully collect intelligence from the entire galaxy.

When the One-Tooth Ghost was destroyed and the greenskin fleet collapsed and escaped, they escaped to Temir from the jump point of the Steel Wing Star.

Although most of the greenskins’ main battleships were destroyed, there were at least two hundred ships left. Now, a small half of the joint fleet was taken away by Ye Lishi to patrol the Seven Horses, and the fleet strength in his hands was a little insufficient. If you are careless and get bitten by the greenskins, it is still possible to overturn.

He knew that the alliance could not withstand the result of the navy overturning. Although he had to take the initiative to attack, it would not be too careful.

After investigation, Du Shiliang initially confirmed that the main force of the green-skinned orcs’ fleet was not in the Temir galaxy. The stargazers on the ship only found a dozen green-skinned ships here.

However, the situation on the surface was already very bad.

The environment belongs to Temir 2, which is the favorite of the greenskins. Almost no traces of human activities can be detected on the surface of the planet.

This made Du Shiliang very sad.

The former Jinguan granary, a world with a population of four billion, beautiful scenery and pleasant environment, has become a place full of green-skinned spores and fireworks everywhere.

As for the green-skinned orcs, they obviously regarded Temir 2 as an important breeding base and invested a lot of effort here.

During the months of occupation, the Iron-toothed Orcs invested a considerable amount of manpower in Temir 2. Not only were the human residents on the ground slaughtered in just a few months, but they also took the trouble to transform the local ecological environment and establish a large green-skinned ecosystem.

A new batch of green-skinned creatures are already thriving. Not only are there green spore plants everywhere, but little Squiggle beasts are running around, and fart spirits have grown all over the ground.

The former can be used as food and animal power for the greenskins, and can even cooperate with the greenskin army in battles in roles similar to military dogs.

The latter, of course, is also considered a greenskin.

Fart spirits are usually the bottom members of the greenskin society, and are the assistants and servants of the orcs. It is smart, cunning, and vicious, but at the same time mean and cowardly. They are not qualified soldiers. Under normal circumstances, if the army is composed of fart spirits alone, the morale is extremely worrying. It’s

okay when the wind is favorable, they may even be more vicious than their orc masters; but once the wind is slightly against them, the fart spirit’s troops will collapse in minutes.

Their nature makes them have to be at the bottom of the greenskin society for their entire lives. They are also willing to do so, and in the orc society, they have assumed all the responsibilities that the orcs are unwilling to assume-in fact, it is work other than fighting.

Sometimes, when the orc master is unhappy, he will catch a few fart spirits to eat to relieve his boredom.

Fart spirits are not particularly good industrial workers or farmers. They use their cunning energy at work and like to be sneaky. But this problem is relatively easy to solve. The orcs will personally take the whip to be the supervisor, or appoint a favored fart spirit as the supervisor. The latter will be even more cruel to their own people than the orc masters.

Through these means, the greenskin society will be able to maintain at least the lower limit of production capacity.

As for the upper limit, it is unfathomable.

Waagh is an outrageous thing. It was originally just a meaningless roar from the greenskins, but in their language environment, it also represents an adjective, describing everything that is positive for the greenskins; it can also be used as a noun to represent a great war; even the so-called waagh energy is a kind of psychic power unique to the greenskin race.

In short, if they believe that something can be achieved, then this thing will come true.

This is the shocking part of the greenskin technology. The outrageous garbage piled up can fly into space and bombard the human giant ships. It’s outrageous .

Fart spirits also have this ability, and their sneaky and slippery nature is of course a minus point for productivity in most cases. However, once a fart spirit cuts corners and comes up with some magical stuff, it represents a huge boost in productivity.

Add to that their huge numbers, and their bodies that can mature in a few months… Now, Temir 2 has been turned into a huge greenskin factory.

The main product of this factory is the greenskins themselves; it also produces some weapons and equipment, and the resources are plundered from the other two planets of Temir.

Compared with Temir 2, where almost no signs of human activity can be detected, the situation of Temir 4 and 5 is better.

Although it is also very bad.

Among them, the situation of Temir 4 is relatively better. The large and small mines, mines and complex industrial facilities in the mining world allow the humans in it to hold on firmly. With the limited manpower invested by the greenskins, they have to gnaw on the mines one by one. It has been occupied for several months, but it has not been completely eaten up yet.

However, the problem with Temir 4 is that the planet itself is insufficiently supplied, and it used to rely on Temir 2 for food. Now that interstellar transportation is cut off, when the planet’s supplies are eaten up, and even the production line of synthetic starch can’t hold on, then the many strongholds on Temir 4 that rely on mining will suffer a catastrophe.

Saved.

The situation on Temir 5 was a little worse, but it was not as completely ruined as Temir 2. After all, unlike Temir 2, most of the land was fertile plains. In peacetime, it was of course good, a wonderful place for farming; but in war, there was no defense and it was quickly slaughtered.

On Temir 5, at least humans could still have resistance in some mountainous areas and inside megacities.

After carefully analyzing the situation of the three planets of Temir, Du Shiliang made a set of response plans.

…

On Temir 2.

In this world where no signs of large-scale human activities could be detected, not everyone was killed.

That was impossible.

Humans are a tough race and will not die so easily.

Even in this case, even if more than 90% of the humans on the planet were slaughtered – this is already a terrifying number, which shows the killing efficiency of the greenskins – but the remaining less than 10%, that also means that there may be 200 to 300 million, or even more people, surviving in every corner of the planet.

Zhu Zhengbao is one of them, and he is now 70 years old.

He is a veteran of the Termir II Homeland Defense Force. He was once called up by the Empire and led tens of millions of Termir II defense forces to fight on the front line against the greenskins.

He is resourceful, courageous and brave, and he has led the defense forces to achieve impressive results.

Later, when he was old, he retired and returned   to his hometown, where he also gained a grand status and was called “Marshal”. He had no interest in politics and just wanted to spend his old age in peace, but when the greenskins invaded in large numbers, he stood up again and called on the Temiers to fight against these invaders.

The gap in strength between the two sides was too large, and when the war started, the orbit was full of greenskin ships, so the human army was easily defeated, and the Temiers were slaughtered crazily on the plains without defense.

But despite this, the old marshal still did not lose his tenacious will.

In Temi’s situation, it was impossible to compete with the greenskins head-on. He decisively led the troops, protected the people, and moved elsewhere.

A planet is so big that it is impossible for the orcs to cover every place in a short time.

They went through untold hardships to find places that the orcs had not set foot on, and survived hard. They established a base, attacked cautiously, and eliminated small groups of greenskins who might find their location.

Among them were warriors, heroes, and women and children. Zhu Zhengbao always told everyone that they must have faith in their hearts. The Emperor will not abandon us. As long as they persist, we will be redeemed one day. The army of the Empire will eventually come, and we will definitely win in the end.

Long live mankind!

This is not only propaganda, he also firmly believes it.

Without this kind of faith, how can a veteran in his seventies with injuries persist until now?

Under his leadership, people’s hearts have been calmed in the past few months.

They established a stronghold in the current situation of having nothing. Although it is not big, although there are only hundreds of thousands of people, although if a large number of greenskins swarm in, they still have to run…

But at least, they sowed the seeds, and in the past few months, the wheat seedlings have broken through the ground, and it is almost the harvest season.

Looking at these scenes, many people can feel the hope and faith that Marshal Zhu said.

At the same time, they also contacted several other strongholds, each of which was large and small. They agreed with each other to support each other. If they encountered greenskins that they could fight against, they would fight against them. If they couldn’t fight against them, they would run away. Other strongholds were at least a retreat.

Just hold on like this. As long as you work hard and hold on, you will definitely see the day that Marshal Zhu said: the empire’s army will surely arrive, and mankind will win!

And this day will come even earlier than imagined.

On this day, early in the morning, Zhu Zhengbao was called up.

The visitor said to him excitedly: “It’s coming! It’s really coming! The empire’s fleet is coming!”

“What did you say?”

“Go and have a look!”

Zhu Zhengbao put on his clothes and came outside the simple house.

He looked up. The weather was very good today. He could see several phantoms in the blue sky.

At this distance, the phantoms didn’t look big or clear, but considering the distance, they were huge.

The old marshal’s eyes were not working well anymore. He urged people to take out the telescope, and now he saw: that was indeed a ship belonging to mankind!

With the old marshal’s experience, he could even tell that it was a human cruiser, and there were about three or four of them!

This is definitely the main force!

The army is coming! We are saved!

“Pass the message! We have hope of holding on!” Zhu Zhengbao said.

“Okay!” Others were also beaming with joy, “Actually, there’s no need to spread it, everyone can see it!”

“Then we have to publicize it, this is a good time to ensure morale.” Zhu Zhengbao smiled, excited in his heart, but still quite calm: “Although the army is coming and we have hope, there is still danger before the ground troops land and join us. In this last moment of success, we must not fall before dawn, understand?”

“Understood! I’ll find someone to write a manuscript to boost morale! Marshal, rest assured, we will do all the work and hold on as much as possible.”

“Well, go.”

After sending the adjutant away, Zhu Zhengbao continued to pick up the telescope with a smile and looked at the sky.

Our human ships are so beautiful!

At this time, he saw a small black dot falling from the ship, and soon it ignited a fire when it came into contact with the atmosphere.

“Hmm? Is that a landing capsule or a landing spacecraft? It seems a bit too big, and the size is not right… Are we in such a hurry to land? Don’t we conduct orbital bombing first?”

The old marshal had some questions in his mind.

Then, he saw that the small fireball exploded in the atmosphere.

Was it shot down by the greenskins?

It seems not.

He saw the rolling waves of fire, not only did they not annihilate like when ordinary spacecraft were destroyed, but they continued to expand as if gasoline was ignited.

In a very short time, the small fireball turned into a big fireball, and then turned into a sky full of fire clouds!

But even at this point, the flames showed no signs of shrinking or extinguishing, but instead accelerated their expansion, until the sky in sight turned from azure blue to a sea of fire!

The sea of fire was still extending, and continued to spread downwards and around.

All this happened in just a few dozen seconds.

The entire stronghold was quiet, and the cheers that had just risen also subsided.

Everyone stared blankly at the sky that had turned into a sea of fire.

All this was silent. Zhu Zhengbao could even hear the chirping of insects and birds, and the breeze.

But all his expressions were frozen.

According to this trend, in one or two minutes at most, the sea of fire will extend to the base where he is; in less than an hour at most, the sea of fire will spread throughout the atmosphere of the planet and burn every inch of the land of Temir 2.

At that time, the entire planet will become a “fireball” burning violently in the universe. The fierce flames covering the surface will continue to burn for more than ten days to a month, burning the atmosphere and oceans of the entire planet and killing every living thing on the planet.

Even if there are lucky people who hide underground, in the mountains, or in solid buildings and are not burned to death, the completely destroyed ecosystem makes it impossible for the survivors to continue to survive on a planet that has become a dead land.

Temir 2 will change from a rich and beautiful agricultural world to a dead world.

Dead worlds, places that are absolutely unsuitable for human survival in records, primitive planets that have not been transformed, or destroyed planets, are all classified as dead worlds.

In his seventy years of life, he had never thought that something that he had only heard of and recorded in history would one day come to his beautiful hometown.

Now, he understood what it was.

That is the extermination order from the Empire, that is the Burning Sky Torpedo.
