Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 997: Chapter 537: Too Bad the Enemy Ran Away Fast

Watching the Fury Fleet disengage from battle, Gu Hang, aboard the “Eagle Horse,” felt a bit of regret.

Weren’t they going to fight to the end?

Keep fighting!

Your spiritual energy team is about to be blown up.

In fact, from the moment the “Eagle Horse” that Gu Hang was on descended into this airspace, Gu Hang and the “Storm Mage Corps” he led had already begun rigorous operations.

Now, the Storm Mage Corps has over ten thousand psychics of various levels available.

According to the system’s standards for enlightening and training psychics, Gu Hang spent one million gift points on it.

Of course, training personnel cannot rely solely on consuming gift points.

In fact, as the alliance’s scale expands, things like military training, administrative officer training, and psychic training, which used to heavily depend on the acceleration of gift points, are now less dependent on the system.

This is not because Gu Hang has reduced his investment. On the contrary, investing in human resources development is the second-largest expense for Gu Hang’s gift points—the largest being technology lotteries. He has consistently increased his expenditure in this area.

However, with the expansion in scale, the size of the army and administration has wildly inflated, and it is no longer possible to process everything through the system.

Breaking away from system dependency is an inevitable trend. Gu Hang accepts this, and starts placing talents acquired through consuming gift points at the core positions.

The spiritual energy team is an example of this. Among the members of the Storm Mage Corps, 80% were trained by Gu Hang using gift points.

In addition, by strongly integrating the various Mage Academies established by the alliance with the Psychic Cultivator’s Associations in the original Dragonhawk Star Domain, tens of thousands more psychics have been trained.

However, unlike those directly trained by Gu Hang using gift points, those trained through the most conventional and orthodox means have somewhat unstable conditions.

Their abilities are unstable; some are quite useful, but a large proportion of psychics possess powers that are not very practical and are particularly niche.

Their states are also unstable, easily losing control, posing threats to both themselves and others, with the potential for self-destruction being quite hard to handle.

These unstable individuals need to be managed. They either continue studying at the Mage Academy, striving to control themselves, or if deemed lacking in such talents, they have to stay in the prisons of the Psychic Cultivator’s Association.

Those who can control their spiritual energy are arranged to work in various sectors of society where they can utilize their abilities.

The main placements are in the military, secret services, police departments, and legal departments.

All units, including the Glory Guard Legion, welcome these psychics. Their abilities can provide great expansion effects.

As for the largest and most stable group of psychics, the Storm Mage Corps, they are a direct force under Gu Hang’s command and have always followed his orders. Most of the time, they are distributed in various combat units, acting in squads or medium-sized groups.

Currently, Mr. Gu has gathered them all together.

With Gu Hang at the core, these members of the Storm Mage Corps can use their spiritual energy as “fuel” to enhance Gu Hang’s power.

Leveraging this power, Gu Hang will become even stronger.

Incidentally, he is also attempting to tear open a subspace rift, to descend with more powerful forces into the real universe, used to rip apart the enemy ships’ void shields.

In theory, tearing open the subspace and allowing the power of the Divine Realm to descend is not a difficult task for Gu Hang. With the assistance of the Storm Mage Corps numbering in the thousands and the power of the Storm God Kingdom, Gu Hang’s fleet destruction capabilities will once again escalate to a huge level.

However, this time, the problem arose during the descent of the Divine Realm.

Gu Hang sensed a resistance that wasn’t weak.

That resistance came from the psyker teams led by the think tanks of the Fury Flame Battle Group and the New World Torch Battle Group.

In Gu Hang’s perception, there were about two thousand of them.

Their average level was about the same as the Storm Mage Corps.

However, there were over eighty think tank members in the two battle groups, much stronger than the average level inside the Storm Mage Corps. Among them, the Intelligence Directors of both battle groups had all reached A+ level. Additionally, there were five A-level psychics, with the rest being at least B-level.

The psychics awakened among the Interstellar Warriors are indeed much stronger than the average mortal’s level.

Of course, that’s the average; it’s the lower limit that’s high. As for the upper limit, it might be about the same.

This group of high-level think tanks, leading a number of psychics, is trying hard to obstruct the descent of the Storm God Kingdom.

The rift has been torn open, and Gu Hang’s spiritual energy has indeed been strengthened. He also successfully used the power of spiritual energy to tear apart the void shields of three enemy ships and directed friendly fire to destroy them.

Then, his target turned to the “Fire of Triumph.”

However, as a combat barge, the void shield strength of the “Fire of Triumph” is extremely strong, making it not so easy for Gu Hang to tear apart.

Moreover, there was the resistance from the enemy’s psionic team.

After some maneuvering, Gu Hang was close to subduing those opposing psychics, and the rift to the Storm God Kingdom was being torn wider, allowing Gu Hang’s abilities to become increasingly powerful.

Already, three to four hundred psychics had met their demise in the confrontation with Gu Hang. Among them, some merely fainted, while others suffered direct cerebral explosions.

At this moment, Politos chose to order a full retreat.

With about fifteen more minutes, Gu Hang could have crushed those opposing psychics, strengthened the descent of the Divine Realm, and then quickly torn through the void shield of “Fire of Triumph.”

The launching systems aboard the “Eagle Horse” were poised to instantly eject several Dragon Elephant war machines and two patrol ships right in front of their faces. Combined with the targeting bombardment of friendly artillery, there was indeed hope to swiftly destroy such a giant ship.

Destroying an enemy’s major capital ship would be a great help for subsequent battles.

Unfortunately, they retreated swiftly.

…

After the enemy’s main fleet retreated, the alliance fleet was faced only with the combination of the Star Fortress and space stations.

Their sturdiness and firepower weren’t weak either. A hard battle would definitely result in a victory for the alliance fleet, but at the cost of extra losses.

Since the opponents wouldn’t move,

the alliance fleet could naturally keep their distance and adopt tactics of encircling, hunting, and stretching to engage.

This would prolong the battle but reduce losses.

A week later, the enemy’s resistance was mostly crushed.
