Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 458

Chapter 457: The war situation changes dramatically

The arrival of the Fury Legion is the savior that the Star Region Government has been eager for.

In their cognition, as long as a serious Space Marine regiment like the Fury Legion arrives, all problems should be solved.

But in fact, this is not the case.

The Fury Legion is a standard Space Marine regiment – at least they behave very standardly. There are 1,000 Fury Legions coming; they have a complete set of Space Marine fleets, and the mortal servants and mortal auxiliary troops in the fleet are also very normal.

Can such a regiment really turn the tide of the war as soon as it arrives as they expect?

It can.

At least, when they arrived and participated in the battle, the situation on Jindi Star did not deteriorate further.

The Space Marines took out their best tactics, which is also a very effective tactic against the green-skinned orcs – decapitation.

On the ground battlefield, the decapitation of several orc warlords who led the battle was successful.

The attack on the warlords directly caused serious chaos in the greenskins’ ground offensive.

The human army also took over all the command rights of the entire war zone under the command of the Wrath of Flames, Becker Matsis, who was known as the “Fire Walker”. He commanded the human army and fought several beautiful battles, annihilated a large number of orc elites, and even countered the greenskins’ offensive for a while.

In space, the battle barge named “Fire Soul” that the Wrath of Flames participated in the battle also brought great pressure to the greenskins.

The mothership of the Space Marines, called the Battle Barge, is even larger and more powerful than the average Imperial battleship.

Its first attack brought damage to the Battle Moon of the Iron Tooth Clan and even destroyed three greenskin cruisers.

However, the Battle Moon was still fierce. With the original Iron Tooth flagship, which was a powerful warship at least equal to the level of a battle cruiser, it finally drove away the “Fire Soul”.

But even so, the Space Marines of the Fury Legion fought back when they were “forced” to withdraw.

They launched a boarding raid on the greenskin flagship.

What they hoped most was to catch Titus there and behead the chief of the Orc Empire. As long as he was eliminated, the entire Greenskin Empire would fall into a long period of chaos and collapse, and a large-scale civil war would occur.

This is the experience summed up when the Empire and the Greenskins fought in the entire universe, and there are almost no exceptions.

If they could not catch the chief Titus on the ship, they could destroy the enemy ship from the inside through boarding operations, which would be regarded as destroying a core main battleship of the Greenskins, which would definitely be of great help in future wars.

However, the plan for this boarding operation failed. Titus was indeed there, and they did find him, but when they fought, the Black Beast Guards around the chief showed a combat effectiveness that was not inferior to that of the Space Marines.

Even if the Furys dragged the battle into the close combat they were best at, would the most elite of the greenskin orcs be afraid of close combat?

Obviously not.

In the short and brutal confrontation, the Space Marines of the Furys soon realized that the ability of their boarding force was not enough to destroy Titus.

At this time, their decision was also decisive. They readily gave up their original plan and began to retreat.

Some people stayed behind, and some people took the bombs that were supposed to enter the core of the ship and then detonate, and exploded them at random. Even if the ship could not be destroyed, at least it could cause considerable damage to the greenskin flagship. Moreover, it could also create chaos on the warship to facilitate their evacuation.

They did fight their way out, boarded the supporting spaceship, and left the warship.

However, in this whole process, they also paid a heavy price. A chapter champion and a company commander died in this battle. Of the entire elite team that was engaged in the battle, only one-third were evacuated.

But even so, after the Fury of Flames joined the war, the greenskins suffered a wake-up call.

Before this, they had never suffered such a severe beating.

The orcs, who had not gained any advantage on both the ground and space battlefields, were very angry, but Titus’s ability to become the chieftain meant that he possessed not only bravery and tyranny, but also cunning and wisdom.

The greenskin orcs, who had suffered serious losses, obviously became more cautious under his command.

On the surface, they shrunk the battle line and no longer fought so aggressively; in space, they no longer expanded the battle line unnecessarily, but instead gathered the entire fleet more tightly, with the inconvenient and slow battle moon as the core.

This also made it impossible for the Fury of Flames to find more opportunities.

The fighting style of the Fury of Flames was actually revealed in their series of actions, which emphasized being violent and fierce.

However, after a failure, they also realized that the enemy they faced this time was not like most of the enemies they encountered in the Star Wars, which could be quickly defeated by them.

Both sides learned a lesson, and the entire battlefield situation calmed down a little.

But this calm did not last long. Soon, both sides began to show their magical powers, with the Jindi Star battlefield as the core and the surrounding multiple star systems as the expanded battlefield, and began to fight continuously. The more they

fought on Jindi Star, the harder it was to defeat it. The greenskins would definitely think of ways from other star systems, and even try to invade the Yunluo Star Region from the lower plateau star in the Snow Eagle Star Region to the southwest, trying to directly threaten the capital of the Dragon Eagle Star Region.

But isn’t this a coincidence?

After realizing that the main force of the greenskins was on Jindi Star, there were not many ways to take the battle moon in space warfare. Even with the existence of the battle barge “Fiery Soul”, they might not be able to gain an advantage by directly launching a fleet decisive battle. So, Mattesis also thought about whether he could open up a second battlefield and start from the Snow Eagle Star Region. If we can capture both the Upper and Lower Plateaus, and then attack from the Dragon Tamer Sector, and block the northern side of the Steel Fire Dragon Sector, it would be equivalent to locking the main force of the greenskins inside the Steel Fire Dragon.

The greenskins’ reliance on logistics is relatively weak. Such a large fleet, so many greenskin troops, gathered around the Jindi Star. If there is really no support from the rear, and new ships, troops, and supplies cannot be continuously plundered from the rear and transported over, then the orc army will also be significantly affected, and its combat capability will be greatly reduced.

Both sides have similar ideas, so naturally, the high intensity of the war has evolved from the original focus on the Jindi Star to the surrounding four or five star regions. Fighting fiercely.

If we only look at Jin Dixing, perhaps the intensity of the war has dropped a level; but judging from the entire course of the war, it is obvious that both sides fought more brutally.

…

When this series of intelligence was delivered to Gu Hang, he was relieved.

At least, looking at the current situation, the war situation has changed from almost a landslide and the orcs crushing all the way to a situation where both sides are going back and forth.

Gu Hang no longer has to worry that the star domain government will be quickly destroyed, and then the main force of the orcs will turn around and find trouble with him.

However, Gu Hang soon had a new worry.

The situation that happened on Jindi Star began to appear in the Temir Galaxy.

When Ye Lixia led her fleet to the Temir Galaxy, her speed was still slightly faster than the orcs’ reinforcements.

She unified Zhao Shiliang’s command, and the assembled alliance fleet launched a fierce attack on the green-skinned orcs.

But the orc commander-in-chief, who Gu Hang already knew was called Saru, was obviously not a fool with only recklessness in his mind. He knew how to temporarily avoid the edge, and even pulled on a wider battlefield.

He refused to fight a decisive battle with the human fleet, but instead expanded the scope of the battlefield.

After paying a certain loss, he escaped the pursuit of the human fleet. But he did not completely withdraw from the entire galaxy, and was still eyeing it. Once the human fleet made a strong large-scale orbital support to the surface of the planet of Temir 5, his ships would appear, threatening the human fleet to be unable to devote themselves to the support of the ground.

Of course, such a threat is not enough. If the human fleet continues to fight regardless of everything, such as dividing the team into two parts, one part to fight with the greenskins, and the other part to continue ground support, what can Saru do?

In order to solve this problem, part of Saru’s ships went north to the Tongguan star area, and from Tongguan I, entered Cuiquan I in the Wuma star area.

This clearly means that if the Alliance really attacks the Temir galaxy with all its strength, then it will be given to you.

However, don’t think it will be too easy to get it, and the price will not be too small; at the same time, the orc fleet that can’t take care of it for a while will drive straight into the Wuma star area and turn the world upside down.

This is something Gu Hang can’t accept.

The Mist Horse Sector signed the Seven Horses Agreement very early, just a little later than the Hippogriff Sector. If there is a huge turmoil here and the Alliance is unable to quickly quell it, the credibility of the Seven Horses Agreement will be greatly reduced. Even the Purple Horses, Border Horses, and Iron Horses in the rear will be shaken and begin to doubt whether the Alliance is really capable of guaranteeing their safety as they say.

After all, the premise for these star regions and planets to cede power and even be willing to be sucked of blood is the security guarantee provided by the Alliance.

When the orcs really want to expand the scope of the war, the Alliance has no choice but to follow suit.

To rescue the Mist Horse Sector means dividing the troops.

After the division of troops, the greenskins were quickly driven out of Cuiquan I, and the human fleet also went north along the Mist Horse Sector, further burning the war into the Copper Pass Sector, and even beat back Copper Pass I and the Bronze Galaxy.

Copper Pass I has only one industrial world, but the Bronze Galaxy has a total of three human worlds. These two galaxies and four planets have a total human population of 6 billion. Due to the long-term war, the population loss and industrial base were serious, but at least 2 billion people were left.

The Alliance simply set up observation groups in these four worlds, supported acting governors, and asked them to join the Seven Horses Pact.

All the operations were similar to those on Temir 4.

On the one hand, try to migrate the survivors, leave the war zone, and send them back to the Pegasus star zone to fill the core population of the Alliance;

on the other hand, try to mobilize the local population, send weapons and equipment, and arm them, so that they can solve the remaining greenskins on the planet by themselves.

The Alliance will provide military assistance and orbital fire support.

On these foundations, they also have to restore production as much as possible, and strive to fortify the entire planet and build more orbital artillery.

But the greenskins will obviously not give up so easily. Their ships that just ran away but were not destroyed also transported troops from other places and sent them to the surface when they saw the opportunity; they would attack human transport ships in a mysterious way; and even bombard the surface with a few shots.

During this back-and-forth tug-of-war, the greenskins’ support fleet also arrived.

Overall, the Alliance fleet still has the upper hand in terms of naval power. But the degree of advantage is no longer enough to form a crushing victory.

In addition, the fleets of both sides no longer limit the battlefield to one star system, but expand the battlefield to the two star regions of Jinguan and Tongguan.

The main land forces of both sides are still fighting like a meat grinder on Temir 5, but the fleets are running around. The orcs will attack the human supply lines, and humans must defend them; the human fleet will also fight back, and the farthest place even went to Guangfu Star.

Guangfu Star is the greenskin empire, the only way from the Jinguan star region to the main battlefield on the west front. A large number of resources transported from the core area of the greenskins to the main battlefield all go through here.

A detachment composed of a crazy shark and two silver swords intercepted two waves of greenskin transport ships here, turning at least more than 200 million greenskins, their transport ships, and a large amount of war materials into space junk.

Such a heavy loss made Saru get scolded again. The orc army on the main battlefield on the western front was already not doing well, and now the supplies were also affected. If he didn’t like to scold, who would he scold?

Saru was also forced to separate troops like the human fleet, and go to the main traffic routes in the rear to drive away the human attack ships and protect the safety of the transport ships that transported supplies to the front line.

In short, the entire battlefield situation has become bigger and wider.

And it has become more inclined to compete in “internal strength”. The victory or defeat of one or two battles alone is not enough to change too much. It depends on the overall foundation of both sides and who can withstand more losses.

This also puts greater economic pressure on the Alliance.
