Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1023: Chapter 554, Can You Capture the Blood Shark?

The Blood Shark Battle Group suddenly appeared at the rear flank of the Proudclaw Cosmos, rescuing the three Alliance battleship cruisers at a critical moment. This was actually not an accident or coincidence but was within Gu Hang’s expectations.

Just like one hundred and thirty years ago, when the Great Purple Flower Rebellion occurred, the Blood Shark Battle Group emerged from the darkness; they have come again this time.

Upon hearing about a rebellion occurring in a familiar place, involving familiar people, how could the Blood Shark resist joining the fray?

After all, they still had a score to settle with the Iron Armor Battle Group. Since the Iron Armor Battle Group had rebelled, wouldn’t it be perfect to fight for the Empire, to be loyal to The Emperor while resolving old grudges?

They appeared from the dark outer domain, showing up in the Menghe Star Domain of the Eastern Cosmos Domain.

According to their original intention, they planned to directly enter the core control area of Iron Fury Stone for combat. They had no intention of engaging in a frontal battle with the Iron Armor Battle Group, for they had learned over a hundred years ago what the Iron Armor Battle Group was like.

In a direct battle, the Blood Shark, lacking enough supply even in abundance, would not withstand the prolonged consumption of a protracted fight.

Going to the front battlefield, the assistance they could render was limited, and they couldn’t fully utilize their expertise.

If they could directly enter the core control area of the Iron Armor Battle Group, they could use the excellent mobility of their fleet and their adept rapid assault style to create chaos in Iron Armor’s base through plundering and striking the enemy’s rear.

In doing so, the help they could provide to the main battlefield might be much greater than joining the direct frontline battle to fill the lines.

However, navigating the dark outer domain is not easy, and most human ships dare not enter that vast space hiding unknown riches. Though there might be precious treasures to find, there’s a higher chance of no return.

Only a few skilled in external exploration, such as some Merchant Wanderers with exploration commands, dare risk such perilous outer domain navigation.

The Blood Shark Battle Group is a typical group with very rich experience in outer domain navigation. After all, they’ve been in this business for thousands of years.

However, no matter how rich the experience, the risk in outer domain navigation is real. Even with their rich experiences, they strayed off course through several Star Domains and ended up in the Menghe Star Domain.

Of course, generally speaking, this was not a big issue.

They could completely operate covertly, using lost technology acquired from outer explorations to keep their fleet invisible as they head north along the star map until they reach the Spiderweb Domain, where they could start working.

And that’s exactly what they did.

However, in the Menghe Star Domain, their Star Language Tower intercepted some intelligence related to the frontline battlefield.

The encrypted Star Language communication of the Alliance Military is not that easy to eavesdrop on, but they could intercept bits and pieces of communication between some commercial ships and civilian vessels.

They developed some interest in this Alliance.

Could the Blood Sharks operate independently without engaging with anyone else?

Of course, they could, and they were quite skilled at fighting that way.

After all, in the dark outer domain where even the Star Realm Tunnel is not connected, where would they find allies? Haven’t they always fought alone?

However, in the usual outer domain environment, their opponents are often isolated enemies.

Upon returning to the Imperial Territory, facing a colossus like the Iron Armor Battle Group, it’s better not to be so isolated.

The Blood Shark’s Battle Group Leader thought for a moment and decided to establish some tacit understanding and contact with the Alliance.

At the very least, could you provide us with some supplies and support?

After all, we are fighting against a common target.

Once the information was connected, the various levels of the Alliance quickly realized the significance of this matter.

They may not know how valuable the Blood Shark Battle Group was, but their involvement with the Interstellar Warriors was undeniable.

The information decision level quickly escalated, soon reaching Gu Hang.

At that moment, the three battle cruisers Feiyi, Fury Falcon, and Korolya were being ambushed and pursued.

Gu Hang directly agreed to the Blood Shark’s request for supplies and resources, generously allocating a substantial amount of resources to the Blood Shark.

Building on this foundation, he directly requested the Blood Shark to help resolve the pursuit problem facing the three battle cruisers.

Without Blood Shark’s involvement, Gu Hang was already prepared to suffer heavy losses. He had ordered Bai Qifan to return with the ships as far as possible to the heavily fortified planet Shangdong Star, holding out for as long as possible until his team returned.

But the appearance of the Blood Shark settled this issue.

The Blood Shark Battle Group did not refuse Gu Hang’s request and even executed it quite beautifully.

On the entire southern front, the Alliance was confronting the coalition of the Fury Flame Battle Group and the New World Torch Battle Group.

In the previous battle, the unexpected emergence of the Blood Shark Battle Group basically incapacitated the New World Torch Battle Group.

The loss of a combat barge like the Light of the Torch was, of course, the heaviest; Furthermore, the destroyed cruiser-class ships each carried varying numbers of interstellar warriors, sometimes a dozen, sometimes several tens. This loss, combined with those killed on the Light of the Torch, although Gu Hang hadn’t received specific statistics, was not estimated to be less than three hundred.

The figure wasn’t far from the actual situation.

Gu Hang was very pleased with this.

He had heard of the Blood Shark Battle Group’s previous notorious acts, not thinking much of mortals, something the Alliance found a bit unacceptable. After all, the Alliance was a political entity where ordinary people held power.

Gu Hang himself was a mortal too!

Simultaneously, Gu Hang harbored concerns about the Blood Shark’s ’blood tax’ and ’gray tax’ traditions.

They come to fight for me, and I’m grateful; They need compensation, which I understand and am willing to pay. But the Blood Shark’s tradition states that the amount is non-negotiable, and the method of collection is for them to decide.

However, focused on the goal of rescuing the three battle cruisers, Gu Hang couldn’t afford to be concerned over such matters at the time.

But afterward, the Blood Sharks turned out to be surprisingly agreeable.

In his exchanges with the Battle Group Leader named Yeerma Youyin, Gu Hang still sensed the other party’s reluctance to speak more than necessary.
