Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 475

Chapter 474: The End of the Great Chief

Gu Hang led one-third of the Alliance Fleet and made trouble in the four major star regions occupied by the greenskins for three months.

Four Burning Sky torpedoes destroyed the four most prosperous greenskin worlds, killed more than 30 billion greenskins, and destroyed the most important industrial core garbage city of the greenskins.

This was also a heart-wrenching blow to the greenskins.

And Gu Hang’s actions, without a doubt, brought a profound impact to the entire battlefield.

The Jinguan Star Region and the Jiaoshou Star Region were controlled, and the greenskins had no direct access to transport troops and resources to the south. They could only go around the northernmost part of the star region, which took two to three times longer, not to mention that during the human fleet’s advance, many of the greenskins’ transport ships were blown up.

This made the main force of the greenskins feel the pressure of the war on the front line.

Originally, they fought a beautiful counterattack with the Fury Corps in multiple star regions, especially in Eagle Star in the Snow Eagle Star Region. They were regrouping and bringing the war to the Upper Plateau Star. Both sides invested a lot of strength here and fought to the death.

This time, the greenskins’ nest was dug out, and the support from behind was cut off, which directly led to huge problems on the front battlefield.

In the main battlefield of the Snow Eagle Star Region, the battle between the two sides has reached an extremely fierce level. The total force invested by each side added up to more than 10 billion, and more than 2,000 warships of various types chased and pulled in multiple star systems, and even a decisive battle broke out from time to time.

On a battlefield of this level, the fantastic ideas, unrestrained tactical actions, and even a single seemingly brilliant victory or a major defeat, actually have little impact on the overall situation.

Last week, we suffered a great defeat and lost 70 million troops. This week, we will receive 50 to 60 million reinforcements, and we can launch another large-scale battle. Even if we win, the opponent will suffer heavy losses…

Both sides are competing with each other’s internal strength, competing to see who can’t bear the loss and who can’t make up for the loss. All tactical goals are for this purpose.

Unless we fight to annihilate the flagships of both sides, or kill the war leaders of both sides, or annihilate more than 1 billion enemy forces at one time, the victory or defeat of a single battle will definitely have significance, but it will not be that great.

And now, the reinforcements on the greenskin side have suddenly stopped. Several consecutive battles have been forced to retreat across the board because of untimely reinforcements and supplies.

Of course, Titus also knew the news of Saru’s defeat, and also knew that his old nest had been destroyed.

To be honest, this was a situation he had never expected.

When he set off this earth-shaking waaagh, his target was directly aimed at the most core and prosperous places in this star field – the Yunluo Star Region and the Steel Fire Dragon Star Region.

This was his goal. He never thought that the Eastern Front, which he had never taken seriously from the beginning, would bring him such a big trouble.

He thought that the so-called Pegasus Star Region was similar to other areas in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region. As long as he sent out a fleet of ships and spread the green-skinned boys everywhere, he could solve the problem.

At the beginning, things did develop as he expected. The Eagle Horse Star Region and the Fog Horse Star Region were like all other invaded star regions. They had no resistance at all and were turned upside down.

Then, the so-called alliance gave him a blow.

His aggressive fleet was destroyed in one battle; in the Battle of Steel Wing Star, his general Du Yagui was killed, and hundreds of millions of green-skinned boys were destroyed in various places on the Eastern Front.

At that time, he had already realized that a powerful opponent had emerged on the Eastern Front.

He took this very seriously.

He sent his general, King Saru, to the East, and gave him a fleet, troops, and high authority. He could also enjoy the allocation of some of the resources requisitioned from the Greenskins’ lair.

He also told Saru clearly that he didn’t want Saru to achieve any results on the Eastern Front, but just to hold on and fight a stalemate with the shrimp forces called “Alliance” on the Eastern Front.

Saru listened to him very much and indeed achieved his goal. Even though Saru had bothered him a lot in the past few years and cut off a lot of reinforcements, he endured it as long as there were no more problems on the Eastern Front.

Saru held on for two and a half years, and the Eastern Front was safe.

Titus had been relieved.

But unexpectedly, Saru made a big splash and gave him a big job.

After the great failure of the Battle of Temir, the Alliance army blocked the road to the south of the Iron Teeth’s lair, and could only take a detour to the north, which made Titus very uncomfortable, and all supplies slowed down.

Then, when the Alliance rushed into his lair, even this slow supply was gone.

The core planets of the greenskins were destroyed one by one. How could they deal with this?

Titus had already realized that there was a big problem with the overall situation.

He had already taken the initiative to shrink the front line without the annoying canned shrimps in front of him.

But those canned shrimps, apparently, seemed to have known some news and launched a fierce attack on all fronts.

One side intended to retreat, and the other side intended to pursue and expand the results. The result that was naturally displayed was that the front line of the greenskin orcs collapsed.

In an emergency, Titus could not care so much. There was no way to mobilize troops from the old nest. He could only mobilize troops from other planets that had been invaded in the past four years.

This was definitely not a good choice. Most of those planets had not been completely occupied by the greenskins and could not provide all kinds of support.

However, he had no other choice but to keep the main force on the main battlefield first.

…

Of course, Kazimierz Erso also knew what happened on the Eastern Front.

In fact, after the great victory in Temir, Gu Hang changed his style of not contacting the Western Front in the past few years, and sent the victory report as soon as possible.

Half a year ago, I sent an envoy to ask you to take the initiative to attack, but you ignored me and even brought up Zuo Zhaofeng, the chairman of the Eastern Universe, to pressure me; as a result, now you are attacking on all fronts without even saying hello?

What on earth do you want to do in your alliance!

Erso was indignant, but in fact, the main reason was that he was a little skeptical about the battle record reported by the alliance.

When he heard the news that 300 warships and billions of greenskins were destroyed, Erso was indeed a little bit unbelievable.

Such a scale, placed in their main battlefield on the Western Front, would be a very heavy blow to the greenskins, and it was enough for him to push the front line forward a long way.

Can the Eastern Front be fought?

You have battleships? That’s fine.

After the Battle of Temir, Gu Hang continued to maintain this style of full communication with him.

In fact, it is sufficient only compared with the previous two years. Gu Hang basically just sent messages unilaterally, and had no intention of discussing with Erso, the commander-in-chief, how to fight this war.

The alliance will only clearly tell these friendly forces what we have done, what we are doing, and what we will do.

As for whether you cooperate or not, you can decide for yourself.

The attitude of the alliance actually made Erso a little annoyed.

But he couldn’t send it out.

Gu Hang ignored him, and he thought about it and found that he seemed to have no choice.

In addition to seizing this opportunity and actively pursuing, what else could he do?

He secretly had an idea in his mind, to let the main force of the greenskins go back, and then he would follow behind, and then sit back and watch the alliance and the main force of the greenskins have a fierce battle, and see what expression the arrogant Gu Hang would have on his face at that time.

But this was just a thought.

The former flagship of the greenskins had been destroyed by the Fury War Corps. What they had left was a beggar’s version of the battle moon, and its actual combat power was about the same as that of a battleship; the main force of the greenskins’ ground forces might be only about a few billion in size.

If they retreated and fought with the alliance, the alliance might not necessarily be defeated.

In particular, he had received a notice from the alliance that on the roads that the greenskins had to take to retreat, such as Dumingxing and Guangfuxing, the alliance had been working hard to build a defense system and fortify the planets. If a subsequent fight broke out in these places, I’m afraid they would not be considered the home court of the greenskins.

What if the alliance won or ended up in a draw? What would he do?

They came to reinforce the Dragonhawk Star Region with great fanfare, fought for two and a half years, and played the main role on the front line. Ships were lost one by one, and the fighting brothers died one company after another. In the end, the Iron Tooth Clan was defeated by the Alliance?

All the honors belonged to the Alliance?

Thinking about that situation, Erso could never accept it.

At present, no one can erase the role of the Alliance in this war. After all, objectively speaking, they did make a huge contribution to the entire war situation.

However, in front of Erso, there is still a biggest victory, which is also the biggest crown of the entire Iron Tooth War:

that is Titus himself.

The main force of the greenskins led by this orc chieftain cannot be allowed to escape.

If they are taken down and this chieftain is eliminated, then the Iron Tooth Clan will become another medal in the history of the Fury.

The value of this medal is still very high. After all, a large greenskin nation with battle moons, even if they are the poorest of the poor, and with a total number of hundreds of billions, which has troubled a star field for decades, was destroyed by the Wrathfire Legion. This is one of the most outstanding achievements in the long history of the Wrathfire Legion. Although

the role of the Alliance in this war is great, it is at best a secondary position and can only be regarded as a small episode in the story behind their medal.

From this perspective, he still has to thank the Alliance.

Without the huge advantage of the Alliance on the Eastern Front, the Wrathfire Legion would not know how long it would have to tangle with the Irontooth Orcs in the Dragonhawk Star Field and how much sacrifice it would have to make.

Now, they have a huge advantage and can defeat them in one fell swoop.

As long as they win and kill Titus, it will not only make a glorious record in the history of the Legion, but also successfully complete the biggest goal of participating in the Irontooth War: to expand the influence of the Legion in the Eastern Universe with military exploits.

Of course, the premise of everything is that Erso has to wear the crown of Titus’s death on his head. If they were picked up by the Alliance, the Fury Flame Regiment would be pure clowns.

Fortunately, it seems that the Alliance has no intention in this regard. The Alliance’s fleet, at the southernmost, only adhered to the two strategic points of Duxingxing and Guangfuxing, blocking the route of the greenskins to escape to the north, and had no intention of going south to participate in the main battlefield.

Although Gu Hang did not say it clearly, the meaning was actually quite clear: you can get what you want by yourself, and I have provided you with the greatest help.

Erso decided to put aside some of his opinions on Gu Hang and focus on the battlefield first.

…

The Fury Flame Regiment’s relentless pursuit did have a great effect.

After several consecutive defeats, Titus did not dare to continue to fight, but fled all the way.

Moreover, he did not dare to flee directly from the Snow Eagle Star Zone to the Pride Hand Star Zone.

That would be blocked by the Alliance fleet guarding Duxingxing.

Although his main force is much larger than the Alliance’s garrison in scale. But he was not sure that he could quickly defeat Duxingxing, which the Alliance had been operating for several months.

If he got caught up in a fierce battle with the Alliance there and was caught up by the Fury of Flame, he would be in danger of destruction.

On the Eagle Star, which is the border of the three regions of Snow Eagle, Pride Hand, and Thunder Dragon, Titus hesitated for a moment before making a choice.

He fled to the Thunder Dragon region.

Here, the human army has not yet set foot on a large scale. The main force of the Mechanicus that counterattacked from the Steel Fire Dragon region took down the Dragon Biter region, but had not yet blocked his escape route to the north.

Using the Thunder Dragon region as a springboard, he could reach the Leisu region with only two jumps.

At this point, he once again faced a choice: he could go southeast, sneak into the Pride Hand region through the Five Finger Star, and then escape from the Pride Hand region to the Kuo Luo region from the north, which would be back to his old nest.

But this was a bit dangerous.

Although the Five Finger Star was not built by the Alliance like the Capital Star, it was closer to the main force of the Alliance. The Alliance had enough time to deploy forces and gather troops to block him before he returned to the Kuo Luo region.

The pursuers behind him were not just the Fury of Flame. If they failed to stop him, the Guardians of the Mingyang Sect would also catch up. The oilmen whose mechanical arks were destroyed by the greenskins and whose forge world Jindi was invaded by greenskins hated the Irontooth Orcs.

Another option was to continue fleeing northward from the Leisu Star Region to the Barbarian Dance Star Region, where he could directly enter the Jiangmeiyu Star Region. The humans in the Barbarian Dance Star Region had not yet attacked, and the Jiangmeiyu Star Region was the only one of the four star regions that had not been swept by the Alliance, where the training of soldiers and the greenskin industry were relatively well maintained.

That was where he had the best chance of making a comeback. There

were two options, one with high risk but a quick return, and one that was relatively safe by taking a detour.

What should he choose?

Before he could come up with a result, something that should have been expected but was the last thing he wanted to see happened.

Rebellion.

In addition, I still have to explain that I didn’t want to write the settings of the previous chapter at the beginning, but some comrades said that they wanted to know the specific ecology and growth of the greenskins, and expressed that they were confused about the scale and potential of the iron teeth.

So I thought about adding some.

As a result, I continued to be scolded…

I will try to write less about the settings in the future. If I write about the places that are necessary to the plot, I will try to control the length.

…

In addition, this chapter has a lot of place names that were rarely mentioned before. I will add a star map of the Easter egg chapter later, and update the color blocks.

The yellow part is controlled by the Empire, the red part is the conflict zone, the green part is the green territory, and the blue part is actually controlled by the Alliance.
