Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1215: Chapter 659, Major Trend Linkage

The Wanzhou Star Battle has begun.

This battle is regarded as the most important campaign on the Western Front.

Among the three parties involved, the total number of Interstellar Warriors exceeds ten thousand, who fiercely battle on the surface of Wanzhou Star with elite troops numbering in the billions.

In the star system, more than twenty huge ships combined from both sides, carrying thousands of warships, attack each other.

The battle has already lasted two months.

And indeed, this is already the seventh month since Matins led the army to reach the heart of the White Curtain Star Domain to support Salius.

Solving the initial problem was just the first step. After the military council, Matins and Salius decided on a main strategy of stabilizing the East and attacking the West.

On the Eastern Front, facing the swarm pouring out from the Princess Star Domain, the main strategy is defense.

The basic strategy is to maintain the existing troop configuration with about fifteen hundred Interstellar Warriors and a fleet defending there.

Of course, all available resources for war would be fully equipped.

The core factor for this strategy’s establishment is the judgment that no higher-level Insect Swarm enemy will emerge from the Eastern Front, the Princess Star Domain.

And the reason for this judgment is because Mr. Gu also took action.

On the eastern side of the Princess Star Domain, the main Alliance force led by Gu Hang advanced from the Alfonso Star Domain into the Subspace Shadow that enveloped the entire Princess Star Domain.

Of course, even after entering the Subspace Shadow, Gu Hang’s main force could still maintain contact with Matins and Salius.

Gu Hang did not devise any means to penetrate the Subspace Shadow communications; instead, he used some traditional methods.

Gu Hang regularly dispatched some ships to leave the Princess Star Domain and return to the Alfonso Star Domain. Any news would be communicated to the Western Front over two Star Domains away through the Star Language Tower constructed in the Alfonso Star Domain.

After entering the Princess Star Domain, Gu Hang’s actions can be described as steady and cautious.

Moreover, his methods changed from the past gentle approach to become ruthless and indifferent.

In the galaxy, the encounters between the Human Fleet and the Insect Nest Fleet were essentially steadily advancing.

Did the Insect Nest Fleet have no capability to resist? No one dared to make such a judgment, and Gu Hang himself would not make reckless statements. However, at present, it seems that at least the Insect Nest Fleet has not shown any intent to gather all its ship forces for a decisive battle across the Star Sea with Gu Hang.

This also caused the Insect Swarm to relinquish maritime dominance over many worlds.

In dealing with these worlds, Gu Hang adopted three approaches: full occupation, Extinction Order, and abandonment.

The numbers for these three situations decrease sequentially.

The worlds that will undergo full occupation are the fewest, even only in single digits.

These are captured to serve as important bases.

The method of capture is not simply sending troops down piece by piece to fight.

Stationing troops is a certainty, but Gu Hang had the Alfonso Sect, disregarding costs, rapidly expand production of virus bombs over this period. After several months of stockpiling, the quantity was considerable.

Though full use is challenging, at crucial moments, on a few planets, during key assaults, spending a bit more and bombing a bit more not only greatly reduces our casualties but also, importantly, saves battle time.

The deployment is also carried out using the most precise deployment method from the Starship: missiles.

A lot of money was certainly spent, but the effect is evident.

After the bombing comes construction.

The Alliance will leverage its own and the Alamita Sect’s construction capabilities (a significant portion remaining from the Alphonso Sect) to quickly complete the deployment of orbital cannons, Star Fortresses, and similar structures. The former is easier to say; the latter is certainly not manufactured on-site, but rather, pre-built, or even originally existing on other planets and then relocated to the new location.

Once the defensive forces are established, massive supplies and reserve troops will be transported and stockpiled on these planets, providing strong support for subsequent operations.

As for the second type, those subjected to an Extinction Order, the number is considerable.

They generally have two characteristics: they are on the path of the Alliance’s advance, and within the planet exists a large quantity of Insect Swarm or infected individuals.

These planets must be eradicated.

Do not underestimate that there seems to be nothing nearby that can breach the atmosphere and threaten Gu Hang’s forces from space at present. However, having experienced prior turmoil, Gu Hang realized that the Insect Swarm, once gathered in sufficient numbers, could undergo self-digestion, biomass reorganization, and evolve into bio-starships.

This must be purged.

One of the reasons the Northern Line Army was doomed is because they failed to anticipate this point. Previously, in the Empire’s reports on the Insect Race, similar reports never appeared. The Insect Swarm’s construction of its Insect Nest Fleet typically occurred in areas it considered stable rear or directly on Insect Nest Mother Ships after absorbing enough biomass.

In collaboration with the ’cooperation’ of the Iron Armor Battle Group, the Alfonso Sect, the Swarm showed a brand new ability. Currently, it is unknown whether this ability was inherent to the Swarm, just unused or unobserved in past wars, or if it’s a newly developed tactic.

But since Gu Hang knows it now, he cannot leave such a huge hidden danger on his marching route.
