Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1237: Chapter 672, In Peril

The Western Front Army advancing into the Princess Star Domain can be regarded as a landmark event.

This means that Gu Hang no longer needs to continue squatting in the southeast side of the Princess Star Domain.

He can unleash his power and launch an offensive.

He can support the West Line’s offensive, or be supported by the West Line, as the main attack.

According to intelligence provided by Qin Zhiping, the most important target of this war, the Queen, is located in Reyadoces.

Although it has been more than half a year since this intelligence was discovered, the Queen should not have left.

From a positional standpoint, Reyadoces is the most suitable central area for gathering biomass from all over the Princess Star Domain. At the same time, the initially threatening ’Void Black Hole’ in the Princess Star Domain, and even the entire Spiderweb Starfield, is located in Reyadoces.

The so-called ’Void Black Hole’ is not an actual black hole celestial body. It refers to a place where Void Insect Swarms frequently emerge.

The Insect Nest Fleet possesses the ability to shuttle through the Star Realm Tunnel, favoring this form of interstellar travel. It’s fast, but more importantly, it allows them to utilize the commonly used Star Realm Tunnel of humans. Crossing to the other side, they can easily find a densely populated world and feast.

However, using the Star Realm Tunnel for space travel is not the most commonly used method by the Void Insect Species.

Their longer travel time is spent in space using conventional propulsion methods, often undertaking long journeys lasting decades or even centuries, until they find their next devourable target.

Why is attacking the Human Empire such a delightful thing for the Insect Swarm? Once they get in, they not only have a delicious feast but also use the human Star Realm Tunnel for high-speed passage, greatly reducing the time needed to reach the next dining table. They don’t have to endure long, hungry journeys every time they finish off an isolated planet.

However, the main force of the Insect Swarm is not in this part of the galaxy occupied by the Human Empire. Their real main force might still be far away, so far away as to never be reachable to the bounds of the Human Empire.

Yet, it only takes one invading Insect Nest Fleet to challenge a star system, or even an entire Star Sector; if an entire ’tendril’ arrives, when they complete their lengthy conventional journey and reach the territory of the Human Empire, it will unleash a terrifying war affecting the entire Star Domain, and even the Cosmos Domain.

These occurrences are recorded in the history of the Empire.

The locations reached by the Insect Swarm, and continually being reached, are called ’Void Black Holes’. These are areas continually arrived at by a vanguard or main force of a Void Insect Swarm via conventional travel.

This ’Void Black Hole’ in Reyadoces is overall not that terrifying. Although behind it may be an entire ’tendril’, at least it is still far away, so far that even advanced technology can’t detect it; and the Insect Nest Fleets arriving periodically are not large in scale. After the Iron Armor Battle Group settled in Reyadoces, building a Fortress World, there’s no problem.

At least not until before the main tendril of the Insect Swarm arrives.

As for their consumption, the Empire tolerating their expansion is the solution. 𝒻𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘰𝓋.

Unfortunately, Humphrey Paolo’s greed destroyed it all. He intended to control the Queen, solving the problem once and for all, saving his enormous military expenses, while also using this opportunity to continue demanding privileges from the Imperial Central Government, thus developing the entire Iron Armor Battle Group into a giant.

But it also planted a great thunder.

According to Gu Hang’s current intelligence analysis, the Queen has maintained network connection with the upper level of the entire Swarm’s ’network’ since its birth. As a Queen, its authority is very high, possessing very high intelligence without disconnection, enough to conceal itself during its initial larval stage, cooperate with the Iron Armor Battle Group and the Alphonso Sect’s experiments, thereby spreading infection and controlling the Swarm. Once everything has progressed to the latter stages, it becomes irrevocable, ultimately erupting into the current situation.

From this perspective, the Queen should still be firmly seated in Reyadoces, which has become its headquarters. It would not leave. Nowhere is as safe as Reyadoces, where it can conveniently gather forces and build its army.

But at the same time, this also provides a target for the human army.

From this point of view, Marshal Ruwa of the Northern Line Army’s initial judgment was not wrong. As long as Reyadoces is taken, and the Queen entrenched there is eliminated, this disaster of the insect swarm, evolved from the Interstellar Warrior Battle Group rebellion, will be over.

Although the cost is high, it is still within the Empire’s bearable range.

The attack on Reyadoces appears overall quite smooth at this stage.

The recently victorious Salius and Matins gained a relatively long rest period, and a considerable amount of war supplies, some new warships, and even reinforcement units from several battle groups arrived from the rear. Some came from Holy Terra, others were summoned by the Imperial Central Government, coming from other Cosmos Domains and Star Domains to support.

These supplies and reinforcements significantly increased the strength of the Western Front Army, allowing them to enter the Princess Star Domain with greater momentum.

They progressed rapidly, penetrating two defensive lines within a month, and the fleet once advanced close to Reyadoces.

But this also angered the Queen.

An army blocked the Western Front Army, and fierce battles ensued. Salius’s offensive momentum was finally halted.

But if they could stop the West Line, what about the East?

Under Gu Hang’s command, the Alliance’s forces launched a comprehensive and determined counterattack in the Noclas System.

Before this, the Swarm that was suppressing the Alliance were suddenly pushed back.

Embarking, the Alliance Fleet surged towards Reyadoces. 𝓯𝒘𝓿.

Pushing through three Star Sectors, the Alliance’s army unexpectedly found and rescued remnants of the Northern Line Army, which included Marshal Xi Rui, accompanied not only by a combat freighter but also more than three hundred interstellar warriors from the Black Cross Army.

Another significant reinforcement.

For a moment, Reyadoces was in peril.
