Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1064: Chapter 580, After the War

The Alliance’s remaining main forces, truth be told, consist only of the Ronglin and Yunluo, two Dragon-Snake Class Battleship Cruisers.

Of the Alliance’s six battlecruisers, the Wing is under repair, Steelwing and Korolya were lost in the Battle of Bowang Sea, and now the only fast ships available are these two Dragon-Snakes combined with the already stationed Fury Shrike, making a total of just three.

Such limited firepower isn’t nearly sufficient to confront the opposing fleet head-on.

Even with Gu Hang, this remains true.

One Imperial battleship paired with three Dragon-Snakes is easily capable of obliterating three battlecruisers even without its shields.

Only when you add the Blood Shark’s Ghost Evil Shark can their direct combat capabilities barely break even.

Moreover, there are tactical points in this battle worth noting.

The Alliance Fleet charging headlong at full force has no intention of closing in for a direct firefight with the opposing fleet at a very close range.

By maintaining a fairly long distance, the fleet can maximize its advantage in agility and maneuverability, using mobility to evade incoming damage.

Of course, while this makes it harder to get hit, it also makes it harder to hit the enemy.

But that’s fine.

The fleet’s firepower is not the key to the Alliance’s victory.

During the battle, two of the enemy’s warships suddenly went offline.

One of them was the Imperial-Class Battleship, and the other was one of their Dragon-Snake Class ships.

These two were subjected to fierce boarding assaults almost simultaneously.

Or to be more precise, the Dragon-Snake Class ship was the main target of the boarding operation. The Blood Sharks and some Phoenix warriors, using Spiritual Energy teleportation, managed to break through the enemy’s disruptive teleportation fields and wreak havoc.

Three hundred Blood Shark warriors and two hundred Phoenix warriors infiltrated the ship.

Relying solely on 500 warriors to seize control of an entire warship is quite difficult.

However, it was enough to throw the internal systems of the Dragon-Snake Class ship into utter chaos.

Their offline status originated from these disturbances.

Meanwhile, on the Imperial-Class Battleship, nominally, Gu Hang ordered 400 Phoenix warriors, led by Matins, to execute the boarding operation.

But in practice, they didn’t board the ship immediately.

The chaos aboard the Imperial-Class Battleship was caused by the spirits.

The concealment of their presence was necessary because spirits, when revealed to thousands of eyes, could easily be misunderstood as grotesque, alien, or even heretical entities.

In fact, until now, the only members of the Alliance who had fought alongside these spirits were the Phoenix warriors.

Displaying the spirits to them posed relatively controlled risks. After all, the Phoenix warriors were deeply tied to Gu Hang, and each of them had undergone “commissar” training, ensuring their unwavering loyalty.

Gu Hang certainly wouldn’t allow the Blood Sharks to witness the spirits firsthand.

As for the Blood Sharks’ bemusement over how just 400 Phoenix warriors could suppress an Imperial-Class Battleship far larger than a battlecruiser, that was left entirely to their own speculation.

With the two main enemy warships—particularly the Imperial-Class Battleship—offline, Gu Hang gave the command for the three Alliance battlecruisers as well as the Blood Shark’s combat transport vessel to engage their full engines and charge forward at maximum speed.

The rapidly closed distance escalated the intensity of firepower for both sides.

The Alfonso Fleet had the upper hand in firepower while patrolling the outskirts. But with their two primary warships disabled, the Alliance Fleet turned aggressive. Alfonso’s remaining two battlecruisers not only failed to receive timely reinforcements from their flanks, but one of them also experienced Void Shield disruptions that caused its shield to flicker and eventually shatter entirely. This ship naturally became the primary target of the Alliance Fleet’s assault.

Under concentrated fire from three battlecruisers and the Ghost Evil Shark, that Dragon-Snake Class Battleship Cruiser struggled futilely. It pushed its mobility and firepower interception systems to their limits, hoping for survival.

Still, none of this mattered. Despite its efforts prolonging its survival slightly, it ultimately succumbed to the savage concentrated fire and was thoroughly destroyed.

Soon afterward, the only remaining battlecruiser met the same fate.

Following that, the Alliance Fleet shifted its focus to clearing out the remaining medium and smaller ships.

Random cruisers or larger destroyers became unlucky targets as their Void Shields dissipated. Immediately afterward, two to three heavy artillery shells of X-class specifications would lock on and mercilessly bombard the targets. Missing one or two shots wasn’t critical, but as long as one shot landed, these ships would explode into smithereens in the absence of Void Shield protection.

While these peripheral threats were efficiently dealt with by the fleet’s firepower, landing ships departed from the three battlecruisers and several Lunar-Class Cruisers, heading toward the Mecha Sect Combat Cruiser that the Blood Sharks and Phoenix warriors had attacked.

It was a crude boarding method, entirely forceful in execution.

The starships launching the landing ships were quite far from the target, meaning the landing craft were exposed in space for extended durations before reaching their destination.

Under normal circumstances, such maneuvers were nothing short of suicidal. The landing ships would be continuously intercepted during their flight. Losing just one ship wouldn’t merely mean the destruction of a vessel; the thousands of warriors and war assets aboard it would turn into collateral damage as well.
