Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 1008

Chapter 999, Thunder of All Things

. Gu Hang appeared for only a moment.

After electrocuting Qi Bodu, the one he longed to see, his figure quickly became transparent and eventually dissipated.

The only impression he left on people was his figure in mid-air and the Myriad Thunder that exploded like a thousand flowers in full bloom.

Yet, this scene alone was enough to leave a lasting impression.

Countless brave warriors had shed their blood and sacrificed their lives on this battlefield, fighting to this day, all for the death of that hateful traitor.

His hateful yet powerful figure, seated on a rotting throne, was clearly nearby, yet seemed incredibly distant due to the countless demons and dozens of Great Unclean Ones blocking his way.

Even the most resilient warriors would inevitably harbor a lingering doubt: Would they be the victors of this war?

This hesitation would not affect their bloody battles. Even if they ultimately lose or die, they must not slack off in the slightest. Only then can they live with a clear conscience even after death.

However, when they saw that victory, something they had risked their lives for, was grasped as easily as a candy candy the moment Gu Hang appeared, they were still somewhat dazed.

However, there was no need to underestimate themselves.

Gu Hang’s appearance was limited to that single moment.

Gu Jing’s pale face revealed that the price paid to this psychic, far beyond the Alpha level, with the combined power of his godhood and his whitewashed Great Demon essence, to summon his father for a single moment was enormous. There

was only one chance, only a split second. What could they do? If they acted rashly and impulsively, and failed, the situation would be disastrous.

So, even though Gu Hang had instructed his son on a certain distance, Gu Jing played it safe and arranged to stay as close as possible.

Even if his father later retorted, “It wasn’t necessary to be so close,” it didn’t matter.

Although several outstanding Yulin soldiers were sacrificed, their sacrifice was well worth it as the victory was assured.

Besides them, every single person on the battlefield contributed to this final spectacle of thunder and lightning.

Without the bloody battles of the Titans, the top masters, the Space Marines, and the mortal soldiers, who placed immense pressure on the Nurgle demons, forcing Zibodu to sacrifice and strengthen the demon’s power, leaving a gap in the defenses, it would have been difficult for Gu Jing to find the opportunity to free his father.

Regardless, the battle was won.

…

Zibodu’s death didn’t mark the end of the war.

But it also didn’t prevent his demise from significantly determining the outcome.

The nearest battlefield was the first to be cleared.

After Zibodu’s death, without the immense grace bestowed upon him by this benevolent father, the semi-warp nature of the entire area could no longer be maintained.

The Great Unclean Ones, strengthened only recently by the sacrifice of ordinary demons, were now in a state of rapid decline.

They roared with rage, but it was pointless, unable to reverse the drain of power from their bodies.

Weakening was only the beginning; soon, they wouldn’t even be able to maintain their form.

At this stage, the human forces no longer aggressively attempted to eliminate these great demons.

There was no need.

Protecting themselves was paramount.

As for these previously formidable enemies, they could be disregarded. Just wait and see; they would eventually vanish.

The entire process lasted just over half an hour. All the Great Unclean Ones vanished.

The remaining mid- and low-level daemons were quickly eliminated by the Titans and the most elite Space Marines.

Nurgle’s losses weren’t limited to its military forces.

The ominous yellow-green mist was also dissipating.

Across the vast battlefield, all Nurgle daemons and plague walkers would be affected. They would be weakened for a period of time.

Simultaneously, their entire command structure and fighting spirit would be significantly impacted.

Already under the dual assault of Khorne’s daemons and human forces, these Nurgle forces were no longer a formidable threat.

However, another force on the battlefield—Khorne’s forces—remained a problem, particularly

the Knights of the Bronze Bull .

Overall, however, the greatest threat across the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of strategic battlefield remained the Nurgle—their sheer numbers and vast reach made them the primary force in the previous siege of Terra.

Once they were defeated, the remaining Khorne daemons would be relatively easy to deal with.

Even the most powerful Knights of the Bronze Bull were no match for the humans if they could spare the manpower—at least, they were easier to defeat than the seventy-seven Great Unclean Ones gathered together.

This was indeed the case.

The human troops at the Cauldron of Corruption had time to rest.

They would have approximately six hours to rest and recuperate. During this time, the air force would continuously drop supplies and support troops. The plan was for two Alliance airborne divisions to arrive with a large amount of supplies during this period.

The combat power of these airborne divisions alone would certainly not be enough to significantly change the situation. The primary combat power still depended on the elite units like the Space Marines already present.

However, they also had their uses:

occupying areas, liaising with other units, and conducting enemy reconnaissance… all of which served

them well. While awaiting reinforcements and resting, the top brass here—Martins, Robert, Yan Xinzhen, Dante, and others—held a meeting. The Saints’ Chapter Master, Raymond Weiss, was absent; he was seriously injured and unconscious and still in critical condition.

The content of the meeting itself was actually discussed very smoothly. They were discussing how to fight the subsequent battles of this war. It was nothing more than turning back now, gathering the troops, and rebuilding the command system of the entire army. In the process, they would take out the Bronze Bull Knights.

In order to cause the greatest possible chaos, the Bronze Bull Knights are now very scattered, with a few or a dozen people forming a group and wreaking havoc everywhere.

With the elite forces they have gathered at hand, they can quickly eliminate a wave of them without much loss.

It is worth mentioning that during the meeting, there were two major focuses.

The first was Martins.

Robert and Yan Xinzhen kept looking at him, and their eyes were becoming more and more strange.

The second was the several Yulin soldiers standing behind Gu Jing.

This one was mainly watched by Yan Xinzhen.
