Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 426

Chapter 425: Don’t expect to reap the rewards without doing anything else!

It won’t be that difficult to solve the problem of the greenskin invasion on the planets in the Hippogriff region.

In fact, the situation on half of the planets has been brought under control. The Alliance army dealt with them on the way to Steelwing.

The other half that were not on the previous marching route are what we need to deal with this time.

The Alliance has accumulated about 35 million ground troops in the Hippogriff region, excluding Steelwing. They are facing greenskins who may be less than 30 million in number, and they have the help of several times more local defense forces.

In general, even if the United Fleet can’t spare the time to provide them with orbital fire support, it will still not be a problem to eliminate the greenskins on the surface of those planets.

It’s nothing more than the size of casualties and the length of time.

As for why the United Fleet can’t spare the time to provide orbital fire support for the ground battle in the Hippogriff region, it is of course because they have more important tasks.

First and foremost, they have to guard the Steelwing system.

This is a major transportation hub, and they have to guard against the greenskin invasion. After all, no matter how badly the greenskin fleet was hit, there were still at least 200 warships left. Moreover, who knows how many orc ships and troops are in the greenskin base behind the Jinguan star zone?

This place needs to be heavily guarded. Thirty million star army and at least half of the ships of the joint fleet must stay here and cannot leave.

The person in charge of this war zone is Major General Du Shiliang. This second joint commander will shoulder this task.

The other half of the joint fleet, led by the first joint commander Ye Lixia, entered the Wuma star zone with nearly 40 million alliance army.

Although the star district leaders of the Wuma star zone have not signed the Seven Horses Agreement yet, many governors of the planets have signed it.

Since they have signed it, they have to manage it. This is the core relationship that can establish the Seven Horses Agreement.

Among them, there is another key star system-Cuiquan I.

From the star map, from the Steel Wing Star to the north, you will reach Cuiquan II, and then to the north is Cuiquan I. This world itself is an ordinary mining world with a population of about 300 million, but it is also a major transportation route.

It connects to the Eagle Horse Sector to the south; to the east, it will enter the hinterland of the Mist Horse Sector from Xiyuan III; to the north, it is connected to the two worlds of the Tongguan Sector in the occupied area.

Its status is similar to that of Steel Wing Star in the Eagle Horse Sector.

By controlling Cuiquan I, it is basically possible to prevent the greenskins from moving south from the Tongguan Sector, and it can serve as a barrier for the Mist Horse Sector to protect the safety of the rear.

After entering Cuiquan II and placing a million-man army to solve the local greenskin problem, the legion led by Ye Lishia continued to move north and entered Cuiquan I.

Cuiquan I did not sign the Seven Horses Agreement, not because they were unwilling to sign, but because they could not sign.

The planetary governor of Cuiquan I had no news about a month ago, and even the entire planet had no information transmitted outward.

It is currently suspected that the planet has basically lost its ground resistance capability. People should not be all dead, but there should be no organized army to fight against the green orcs on the front battlefield. At most, there are some guerrillas and rebels. Those who are still alive are probably hiding in the city’s underground tunnels, solid fortresses, deep in the mines, etc.

The governor of Cuiquan I is either dead or they have lost control of the Star Language Tower. There is no way to conduct interstellar communication, and naturally there is no effective signal.

But even though the Seven Horses Agreement was not signed, the Alliance army still came.

This place is too important. The Seven Horses Agreement has unilaterally announced that the planet will be included in the scope of protection of the agreement.

After Ye Lishia’s fleet arrived at the target system, it quickly launched operations.

Without saying a word, the pioneers drove away the greenskin ships.

They found about six or seven green-skinned ships in the galaxy. These ships came from the Tongguan Star Region, and they should be carrying a shipload of green-skinned guys and a large amount of military supplies. These ships were probably transporting troops and supplies to the green-skinned invasion forces in various parts of the Wuma Star Region.

These fully loaded garbage ships could not run too fast, and they had no combat power at all, so they were directly dealt with.

Then, the joint fleet began to bombard the surface of Cuiquan I. On the

one hand, it was to eliminate the green-skinned troops on the ground, and on the other hand, it was also to show the possible resistance forces on the surface that your savior has come.

The 15 million Alliance Army, through a large number of landing craft, established three large landing sites and deployed troops in places that had been bombed in orbit and could be considered safe.

On the one hand, they were fighting with the green-skinned army on the surface, which was estimated to be about 10 million in total, and on the other hand, they were also trying to search for survivors on the planet.

The situation on the ground was almost consistent with their earlier judgment. More than 300 million people were scattered all over the planet, and in the complex environment of various mines, mining areas, and smelting plants, they would not be so easy to be killed.

There are thousands of monsters and demons in this universe, but the largest group in the material universe and the group that occupies the most planets is undoubtedly human beings. Such a large population and such a vast empire area are definitely not given away by recharging phone bills.

Never underestimate the resilience of the human race.

The Alliance army searched for the survivors not because they needed local forces to help fight the greenskins. There was no need for that. The local troops had been beaten to pieces, and only a group of rebels were left. They made their own weapons and could only fight guerrilla warfare at best. They really couldn’t help in frontal combat.

The survivors who were searched would be protected in the area controlled by the Alliance Army and help the Alliance soldiers deal with some logistics and transportation and build fortifications. By the way, they would also be organized to restore some production capacity.

Cuiquan I’s original pillar industry – mining and smelting, was not in a hurry to restore. The main thing is that some of the remains of soilless cultivation and three-dimensional farms need to be reused.

If the logistical supply of the Alliance Army depends entirely on interstellar transportation, the pressure is still a bit great. If it is just the army, it is fine, but the key is that a large number of local civilians need to be managed, and the pressure is even greater.

We still have to find a way to re-activate the few planting factories occupied by the greenskins.

It is not required that all food supplies can be solved from the local planet. If a little can be solved, it can relieve some pressure.

In view of the importance of Cuiquan I, Ye Lishi also specially left nearly half of her naval forces to garrison in the orbit of Cuiquan I.

This ensures that the battle of Cuiquan I is foolproof.

Then, Ye Lishi did not wait for the battle of Cuiquan I to be completely over, and followed the star map to divide the troops to the east and west.

The west side went to Cuiquan III, only a small group of troops. Cuiquan III is an isolated world, there is nothing special about it, it is not important, just to recapture it along the way.

The main force she led went eastwards to Xiyuan III and all the way to the heart of Wuma.

Their destinations this time were Wuma I and Shangyuan Star. These two places are the capital of the star region and the only way to the Tianma star region.

In addition to military purposes, Ye Licia also shoulders the political task of requiring the entire Wuma star region to be included in the framework of the Seven Horses Agreement.

She brought Gu Hang’s words to every planet of Wuma, and even to the star region government of Wuma:

“While we are fighting bloody battles in the front, the Alliance will not allow any world to sit back and enjoy the fruits of its labor. Every governor, head, and government who cannot shoulder their responsibilities and fight alongside the Alliance is suspected of serious dereliction of duty and betrayal of the empire. The Alliance will not tolerate such behavior because of the power granted by the Seven Horses Agreement and the star region government!”
