Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 474

Chapter 473: Going straight to Huanglong

. Titus is the chieftain who unified the Irontooth clan and set off a world-shaking ‘waaagh’.

With the character of the greenskins, participating in this great expedition is the dream of all the Irontooth greenskins.

What’s the point of staying in your own nest? The civil war between the greenskins is already tired of fighting, how can it be more interesting to go out and fight with shrimps?

Most of the greenskins think so. If it weren’t for Titus’s fleet, which couldn’t accommodate so many people, the greenskins in the Irontooth nest would have followed him.

It is still necessary to explain here what the ecology of the greenskins is like on these planets that are almost completely occupied by the greenskins.

Large and small garbage cities, and the ecosystem surrounding the garbage cities, are the core environment of the greenskin society.

The garbage city is their camp and their factory, and the outer ecosystem is the birthplace of the greenskins.

Greenskins are not divided into male and female, and there is a kind of spore in their bodies. When the concentration of spores reaches a certain level, the host’s consciousness will become confused, and it will stay away from its tribe and walk alone in the wild.

At this time, the spores will be released from the body and lodge in the soil. Afterwards, the greenskins will return to their clans, and even they themselves don’t know what happened at the time.

In addition to natural reproduction, greenskins will also reproduce in another situation, that is, when a greenskin is forced to release spores in his body-injured or dead. The spores carried in their blood and flesh will fly in the air, drift to certain lands with the wind, and can also take root and sprout.

Also because the greenskins will directly carry out the work of passing on the family line when the host dies, this nature that exists in the body prompts the greenskins to have only two thoughts in their minds: beating and being beaten. This nature also explains the phenomenon that the greenskin tribe is keen on fighting.

And those spores that are splashed out have very tenacious vitality. In an unsuitable environment, they can lie dormant for decades until the wind, other organisms, and other things bring the spores to a place suitable for growth, and they will begin to grow.

The spores in the soil slowly germinate and spread underground, forming countless plant ovaries. This process takes about a year.

As long as there are sufficient nutrients and water sources, the first batch of green creatures: Squigs will begin to be cultivated in the plant ovaries.

It only takes about three months to half a year for Squigs to land in batches.

Of course, the Squigs at this stage are not giant beasts, at most they are the size of wolfhounds. They are the food and animal power source of the greenskins, and at some times they also serve as war purposes, such as letting dogs bite people on the battlefield, or helping with explosive packs and carrying out suicide attacks.

The main purpose is still food. Greenskins do not need to eat, but it is obviously better to have something to eat, which will significantly increase physical strength and can further grow.

The entire ecosystem does not need any external objects to provide excess nutrients, ensuring that the orcs will never lack manpower and food resources no matter where they march.

In the second year, the plant ovaries can begin to give birth to some larger Squigs.

In the third year, fart spirits begin to be cultivated. The cultivation time of a fart spirit is also about half a year.

Starting from the fourth year, proper green-skinned orcs can be bred. But overall, the number of green-skinned orcs bred is much less than the first two: Squigs and Farts. In addition, the development time of an orc boy in the ovary is as long as three to five years, mainly depending on whether the environment is suitable.

Although three to five years seems a bit long, it is already a very terrifying speed. Greenskins are adults when they are born. At least 1.8 meters or 1.9 meters, they are considered short and weak. They are bullied in the group of orc boys. Normal ones are two meters away and have a sturdy and strong body.

Compared with humans, it takes a combination of both sexes, a mother’s ten-month pregnancy, and more than ten years to grow to adulthood. Half of the grown ones are female, which is not a very suitable source of soldiers…

What about greenskins? Regardless of gender, once they are spread, the land is covered with green plants. They are born adults, and after a three to five-year growth period, they are much stronger than normal humans… In terms of the war potential brought by racial characteristics, green orcs beat humans.

In the four major star regions occupied by greenskins for a long time, the greenskins have developed a population of more than 100 billion in just a few decades. This is unimaginable for humans.

Moreover, the greenskin technology is shocking. Those great masters can even use their imaginations to rub out starships with their bare hands, which is simply outrageous.

This is a race born for war.

But they also have some problems. Their belligerent blood makes their internal fighting completely unstoppable. When an entire area is full of greenskin ecosystems and there is nothing else to fight with them, they will fight themselves. It is

a very cruel and bloody fight.

If there is no leader, tribes will fight fiercely with each other; and even if they are united under the banner of a leader, it can only curb the internal fighting in the overall situation and let the greenskins strive for the same war goal as much as possible, but it cannot stop the individual fighting.

A greenskin can’t live for a long time, and there is no process of birth, aging, illness and death. They will compete with each other to become a captain, and the captain will fight with other captains to become a squadron leader… and so on.

A greenskin boy will either climb higher and higher in this endless battle, or die on a certain road in the middle.

This also leads to the fact that when an area is full of greenskins, their number will actually reach an upper limit. The carrying capacity of land and nutrition, and the internal fighting of greenskins will curb their number and reach a dynamic balance.

According to the estimates of scholars who study greenskins in the star field, the total number of greenskin creatures in the four-star area – only greenskin boys and fart spirits, not counting Squigo beasts – is estimated to be around 150 billion. According to the general ratio of orcs to fart spirits of about 1:10, the number of real orcs can reach 15 billion.

This number may have been only 30 to 40 billion before the Third Iron Tooth War. In 26 years, their number has skyrocketed four or five times, and everyone is a soldier.

After the rise of Titus, the expedition launched triggered a fierce pursuit by the Iron Tooth orcs. During the war, the greenskin transport ships kept transporting the greenskins from the four major star regions. The greenskin orcs were also continuously spread to various worlds with the expedition.

In this process, the total number of greenskins transported out of the four major star regions may have exceeded 70 billion.

The number of the entire Iron Tooth clan must have increased in the past four years of war. Even though they are in war all the time and lose population in cruel battles all the time. On the Eastern Front alone, Gu Hang eliminated billions of them. The losses of the greenskins in other battlefields and on the main battlefields on the front are estimated to be no less.

However, after a large amount of living space was freed up within the four major star regions of the clan’s home base, their population began to grow explosively; after they took root on various planets, their population also increased.

Of course, the growth contributed by the latter is not that big, after all, it has only been four years; but in their old nest, where the ecosystem has long been mature, the number of greenskins has increased sharply.

However, during this process, because the battle line was too large, the greenskins’ transport ships never stopped and kept transferring people, resulting in a downward trend in the population of the four star regions in the greenskins’ old nest.

But by comparison, the most empty part of the Iron Tooth Empire is the naval warships.

Titus is also under great pressure from the war on the front line, with a large demand for ground troops and naval ships. The ships produced in the giant garbage city in the old nest are almost as soon as they are completed, and they have to pull a full ship of greenskins to the battlefield.

Now, there are not many greenskin ships in the four star regions.

This is indeed the case.

When Gu Hang led one-third of the alliance fleet and entered the Yinguan Star Region with a very cautious attitude, the strong confrontation he thought he would encounter did not happen. He

did not see any green-skinned ships at all. He

even had some unexpected gains, bombing several green-skinned transport ships.

Moreover, on Baiwu Star, he received information from the ground: there were still survivors of the expeditionary force four years ago.

At the beginning, when the star region government gathered its forces to prepare to solve the troubles of the Iron Tooth Clan, in addition to mobilizing the three major fleets in the star region, it also mobilized a lot of star army and a lot of human taxes collected from all over the star region.

Some of the population collected through human taxes were deployed to various worlds in the Jinguan Star Region to fill the population lost in the war and serve as laborers; in addition, a considerable number of them were deployed with the army to Baiwu Star, Shuiwu Star, Yinguan II and Yinguan III, which were recaptured by the human army at that time.

They built many ground fortresses and strongholds. These four planets were originally planned to be used as bridgeheads for attacking the heartland of the greenskins in the Star Region Government’s plan.

However, the green tide set off by Titus destroyed the Star Region Government’s plan.

But after all, the fortresses and strongholds built, as well as the population and Star Army deployed on the ground, are real investments.

The war was indeed beyond everyone’s expectations. The Northern Fleet was destroyed, and all the personnel deployed on the four planets lost contact.

But they had to survive, so they could only hold on to the spot without space reinforcements and external supplies.

This persistence lasted for four years.

During the four years, they could not get any news from the outside. On the same planet, they could only hear every day that this fortress was breached and that settlement was massacred.

More and more places were lost, and the loss of personnel was getting bigger and bigger.

In other words, the greenskins were in a hurry to rush out to fight, and the troops deployed to these four planets were not many, otherwise, no one of them would survive.

Now, on these four planets, there are at least one or two million troops and 30 to 50 million people; on the White Mist Star, there are 200 million people and more than 10 million human troops.

It is worth mentioning that among these “populations”, a considerable proportion are Korojia people. Before the Alliance took over, Korojia had to contribute 400 million people as human taxes every two years, and many of them naturally filled in here.

Gu Hang accepted all of these legacies left by the former star domain government for the expedition.

He sent an acting governor to each of these four planets, and as the commander-in-chief, he incorporated all the population and troops above and incorporated them into the Eastern Theater.

Then, according to the template of the Seven Horses Agreement, orbital bombing destroyed the core garbage city and ecosystem of the greenskins, and then deployed the Alliance’s troops to strengthen the defense of those fortresses and fortresses, and took the initiative to start clearing out the greenskins outside in large areas.

It took about a week to tidy up these four planets a little, and Gu Hang continued to lead the fleet forward.

Going deeper, there will really be no trace of humans.

But it also means that Gu Hang can be more unscrupulous.

He does not intend to send a single soldier to these planets completely occupied by greenskins.

There is no need.

These planets are completely impossible to occupy. There are at least 2 billion, tens of billions or even tens of billions of greenskins on each of them. How to occupy them?

With the power of the alliance, even if the power of the entire Seven Horse Alliance is thrown to the ground, it is not enough to fight the greenskins.

And what Gu Hang has to do is to try to destroy the greenskins’ war potential to the greatest extent.

Population, industry and resources.

Gu Hang will bomb every greenskin planet. He does not have time to arrange a fleet to baptize the entire planet. Even if he has time, he does not have so many shells, all of which are money.

However, he can find the largest garbage city and ecosystem on this planet, and then focus on bombing it.

With the greenskins’ ability to turn waste into treasure, it will not take long for them to rebuild the garbage city after it is blown up; those ecosystems are destroyed, and once the spores are dispersed, they will grow again soon.

However, all of these also take time.

It takes at least three to five years for the redeveloped ovary of the greenskin plant to begin to grow orc boys; those large-scale garbage cities that can even build starships, after being destroyed, need to be rebuilt to their original scale, which also takes years.

These are all major losses for the greenskins.

On this basis, the Alliance also launched four “burning sky torpedoes”.

The four places where these extinction weapons were launched are Qianyuan Star and Yinguan I in the Yinguan Star Region, and Exon 5 and Iron Pass V in the Iron Pass Star Region.

These four planets were chosen because their environmental conditions are quite suitable for the growth and development of greenskins, and it is estimated that there are indeed nearly 10 billion greenskins on them.

After four burning sky torpedoes, the Iron Tooth Greenskins lost more than 30 billion people!

Even on Exon 5, the Alliance also observed that in the largest garbage city on the planet, there was a greenskin ship that was about to be completed and was similar in size to a human battlecruiser!

This is a big surprise, and it must be destroyed!
