Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 471

Chapter 470, Great Victory in Temir!

In addition to Kalduso who completed the backstab, the other person who helped Captain Martins to kill King Saru was Henrik Larsen, the chief think tank of the chapter.

At first, he led several psychics who were deployed to fight against multiple orc shamans with psychic power, and successfully suppressed these orc shamans, so that they could not interfere with the human troops. Then, Kalduso personally attacked these orc shamans, eliminated them, and liberated his own psychics, which led to the subsequent joint attack on Saru.

After destroying this orc warrior, the situation on the Fire Nova was determined.

At this time, the situation of the entire naval battle was basically clear.

Gu Hang himself was on the Fire Nova, but he didn’t care about the orcs who boarded the ship at all.

On the one hand, he believed that the phoenixes led by Martins could solve this problem well, and on the other hand, it was because Gu Hang was busy with another thing.

He was assisting in the naval battle.

The time between Saru’s successful boarding and his death was only about 40 to 50 minutes. Not to mention that Saru had no chance of success, even if he really succeeded in destroying the “Nova” from the inside, he could not actually reverse the situation.

In this 40 to 50-minute naval battle, the greenskin fleet had already suffered heavy losses.

Gu Hang did not need to pay too much attention to the target of the “Nova”. When the greenskins chose to rush to a very close distance to launch boarding torpedoes and boarding airships in order to gain a first-line victory rate, and to engage in close combat with the human fleet, the “Nova”, a Retribution-class battleship, naturally ushered in the best performance stage.

It is not fast enough, not flexible enough, but it has strong firepower, thick shields, and thick armor. It is a natural firepower core and the king of battleship bombardment.

The greenskin battleship targeted by its main gun has no way to survive at this distance. Four main guns, one of which is an X-class “Heavenly Punishment” light spear array, and three X-class macro guns “Destruction Judgment”. As long as they hit, most greenskin warships will be destroyed with their shields. Even the main battleships equivalent to the human cruiser level will have their shields shattered with one shot.

After the shield is broken, although the ship still has armor to resist the artillery, each shot will cause damage to the hull. Even if it hits the weak point of the armor, or penetrates the armor and damages the key parts of the ship, it will cause very terrible damage.

Not to mention, the Retribution class does not only have these four main guns. There are also twenty L-class heavy guns, which are almost equivalent to four cruisers. Often, after firing an X-class cannon, there are five L-class cannons following at the same target.

As long as the first shot hits and breaks the shield, the following shots can create a huge threat.

Many greenskin main battleships were destroyed in this way.

Not to mention that some small boats are occasionally targeted.

The human side also has eleven cruisers, which are more in number than the greenskin main battleships, and they are also terrifying.

And since Gu Hang does not need to assist the battleships, he can assist the eleven cruisers.

He and Ye Lixia, the fleet commander, also cooperate very well.

Ye Lixia adjusted the formation of the entire fleet in the command channel, commanding the concentration, dispersion and outflanking of the fleet’s firepower. And once there is an opportunity to destroy an enemy ship, Gu Hang will use his alpha-level psychic power under the blessing of the Kingdom of Storm God to tear open the energy shield on the enemy ship.

The naval guns pouring in often means the destruction of an enemy ship.

The two of them can be regarded as cooperating tacitly.

In this way, the human fleet has two ways to quickly destroy a greenskin main battleship in this naval battle.

And how many main battleships do the greenskins have?

The greenskin fleet, bearing huge losses, fought in vain with the human fleet, waiting for those who wanted to board the ship, especially their own boss King Saru, to destroy the enemy’s flagship.

If he accomplished the feat, then there is no doubt that the morale of the greenskin fleet will be greatly boosted.

However, when this scene has not come yet, the orcs will inevitably mutter in their hearts: What happened to King Saru?

They can’t help but think so.

From their perspective, after King Saru called for a boarding battle, his flagship was blown up. Who knows whether the boarding ship that King Saru took successfully landed? Was it blown up in the void? Even if the boarding was successful, was it destroyed by the shrimp on the ship?

Otherwise, why has it been so long, the largest and most powerful battleship among the shrimps is still bombarding our battleships into space junk one after another?

The flagship was destroyed, the highly anticipated boarding ship had no news for a long time, and the warships were being destroyed at a very fast speed…

The morale of the greenskin fleet inevitably began to decline rapidly.

At this time, a worse situation came: because there was no news from Saru, the leader, the greenskin fleet command system was completely paralyzed.

Although they did not know the news of Saru’s death, under heavy pressure, without a person with enough prestige to suppress the scene, the bosses of the greenskin ships began to have their own ideas.

Some people wanted to retreat, which was obviously unwinnable. Withdrawing one ship is a ship. Everyone has to keep their lives so that they can fight more waagh later. Now there will be no fight after they die.

Some people are so angry that they want to fight to the end. They must resolutely execute the last order left by Saru before, continue to jump boarding and fight to turn defeat into victory.

In the communication channel, the greenskin bosses were arguing fiercely.

It is normal to have disagreements on battle plans and battle ideas, but the taboo is not to argue when the war is still going on or when one’s own side is under great pressure; it is even more unacceptable that no one can convince anyone after the argument, and then everyone goes their own way, and the entire army becomes extremely chaotic.

The greenskin fleet has now collapsed in fact.

If you want to continue fighting, you can continue to deploy troops to board the enemy, and then most of these boarding torpedoes will be blown up in mid-air, and the very few that successfully landed will be killed inside the ship. Those greenskin ships that deployed boarding troops were also blown up one by one during the battle;

those ships that escaped were also bitten hard by the pursuit troops sent out by the human fleet during the escape, and were blown up one by one in the pursuit and escape that lasted for several hours or even days.

Anyway, whether you choose to fight to the death or choose to escape, the outcome is the same.

Gu Hang spent so much time and effort preparing for two and a half years to fight this decisive battle of Temir. His goal was to completely defeat the greenskin army on the eastern front in this battle. The greenskin fleet was the most important target. If possible, Gu Hang would not let go of any enemy ship.

The Temir galaxy was a hub of routes. From this galaxy, there were five jump points leading to five different star tunnels, which could lead to Jinguan I, Jinguan II, Shui Wuhen galaxy in the Jinguan star zone, Tongguan II in the Tongguan star zone, and Steel Wing Star in the Eagle Horse star zone.

After the naval battle outside the orbit of Temir 5, there were actually dozens of greenskin ships that fled in all directions. Some of the warships of the joint fleet were chasing these greenskins, chasing them in space for several days or even more than ten days; at the same time, at the five jump points of Temir 5, human fleets arrived first to guard them. Once the greenskin fleet arrived, they would just attack from both sides together with the pursuers, and they would probably be able to destroy them.

Moreover, the human fleet also deployed many warships on Temir 5, especially the Nova Fire, which was not good at pursuit, to provide orbital support for the ground battle on Temir 5.

This was a real dimensionality reduction attack, and this time, the greenskins could not wait for their own ships to appear in space to blow away the human fleet.

With the Nova Fire leading the way, accompanied by three cruisers, a total of one hundred warships participated in the ground orbital support, the firepower was terrifying!

This scale was enough to execute the extermination order.

The most rustic, but also the most commonly used way of extermination order is actually this kind of unpretentious warship orbital bombing of the ground. The fleet used powerful firepower to bombard the entire surface of the planet in detail, leaving no place untouched. This is the simplest extermination order. The cost is actually

not small. After all, naval guns are very expensive. If you really bomb every inch of land on a planet, the cost may be more expensive than a Burning Sky torpedo; and I am afraid it will not be as effective as the Burning Sky torpedo.

More importantly, this way of executing the extermination order requires an entire fleet to stay in the planet’s orbit for a long time.

The cost-effectiveness is not good.

But the reason why this method is the most common is not because the Burning Sky Torpedo and the higher-level Extermination Order weapons are too rare? This thing is difficult to manufacture and has a long manufacturing cycle. It is actually quite rare on the market.

Otherwise, who would leave the more useful and more thorough Extermination Order weapons unused and use this way of naval guns to burn glass?

Even the Alliance has the ability to manufacture the Burning Sky Torpedo, but now it has only accumulated a dozen or so. If it is used hard later, it may not be enough.

Of course, there is no need for the Extermination Order on Temir 5 at this moment, and they themselves are not working for the goal of exterminating the entire planet.

Just providing fire support to the ground, the existing lineup is enough.

And the effect of their orbital support firepower is also very impressive.

In the first half of the month, the number of greenskins on the ground dropped sharply by 2 billion!

The primary target of the human fleet is the major garbage cities where greenskins gather in large numbers.

Those garbage cities are generally built around the greenskin ecosystem. Once destroyed, not only will a large number of greenskins gathered in them be eliminated, but the greenskins will also not be able to regenerate on a large scale. At the same time, these garbage cities are also responsible for the war factories that manufacture weapons, equipment, and ammunition for the greenskin army. After being destroyed, these functions will certainly not be able to be exerted.

But this is a blow to the greenskins’ war capabilities, and the degree of population loss is actually quite good.

The greatest personnel killing effect is not entirely due to fleet bombing, but still requires the cooperation of ground forces.

The ground forces launched a full-scale attack unscrupulously, and as long as the greenskins have the intention to resist, it is equivalent to being detected by human forces. The gathering situation, then directly call for fleet bombing.

This will result in a large number of casualties.

In addition, when the commander-in-chief Perbov, who is responsible for the ground battle, formulated the combat plan, he also consciously commanded the troops to outflank the greenskins from all angles and routes, and strive to drive these greenskins to one place.

His battle plan was an unprecedented success – it was impossible for it not to succeed. The greenskins had no way to resist or fight back. Their scattered forces would be outflanked and driven away until they were locked in an area and could not move. Then the fleet bombing came, and every inch of land in the encirclement would be bombed. The ground forces would follow up to sweep the battlefield and kill the survivors.

If the greenskins gathered their forces to resist, they would be bombed directly, killed or scattered, and then the previous action would be repeated.

These scenes were constantly played out on the entire planet. The human army, totaling more than 2 billion, was divided into more than 100 army groups, and similar plans were implemented on the battlefields of the entire planet. And the more than 100 warships floating in orbit, including battleships, were available at any time.

This is why the greenskins paid 2 billion lives in half a month. It is true that

there are still 2 billion greenskins alive on Temir 5, but failure is already doomed.

The number of serious greenskin orcs with good combat effectiveness may be less than 100 million. After all, in battle, these orc troops are the main force in the frontal combat and are also the focus of attention. The remaining 1.9 billion or so are basically all fart spirits, and their combat capability is very poor.

Moreover, the orc warlord on the ground is also dead. After his location was discovered, he was killed by a “Destruction Judgment” from the battleship, along with his personal guards.

Furthermore, after the garbage city and major ecosystems were destroyed, the greenskins also essentially lost their war potential. If it were a normal war situation, they might be able to pick up garbage directly from the battlefield, and let the fart spirits produce equipment, ammunition, and supplies on the spot, but in the current situation, they obviously don’t have this opportunity. If the war continues

, the greenskins may only be able to fight with machetes.

A real greenskin orc holding a machete might still pose a certain threat, after all, their biological strength is very high; if those fart spirits can only hold machetes, they would have been cannon fodder, but now they are even worse than cannon fodder and have almost no combat capability.

The main force is destroyed, the leader is killed, and the war potential is exhausted. What chance do the greenskins have of winning?

The Battle of Temir has come to an end. From any perspective, it can be called a “great victory”!

Even the system has acknowledged this.

I’ll see if I can do another chapter later (before dawn).

Brothers, go to bed early, and see if there are any surprises tomorrow.
