Chapter 474: The End of the Great Chief

Gu Hang led one-third of the alliance fleet and caused trouble in the four major star regions occupied by the greenskins for three months.

Four Burning Sky torpedoes destroyed the four most prosperous greenskin worlds, killed more than 30 billion greenskins, and destroyed the greenskins' most important industrial core, the garbage city.

This is also a heart-wrenching blow to the greenskins.

Gu Hang's actions undoubtedly had a profound impact on the entire battlefield.

With the Jinguan Star Region and Jiaoshou Star Region under control, the greenskins lost the direct route to transport troops and resources to the south. They could only take a long detour from the northernmost part of the star region, which took two to three times longer. Not to mention that many of the greenskins' transport ships were destroyed during the human fleet's advance.

This made the main force of the greenskins feel the pressure of the war on the front line.

Originally, they had fought a beautiful counterattack with the Fury Corps on multiple star sectors, especially on Eagle Star in the Snow Eagle Star Sector. They were now regrouping and bringing the war to the Upper Plateau Star. Both sides had invested an unknown amount of manpower here and were fighting to the death.

As a result, the greenskins' lair was destroyed and the support from behind was cut off, which directly led to huge problems on the front battlefield.

In the main battlefield of the Snow Eagle Star Region, the battle between the two sides had reached an extremely fierce level. The total number of troops deployed by each side exceeded 10 billion, and more than 2,000 warships of various types were chasing and pulling in multiple star systems, and even a decisive battle broke out from time to time.

On a battlefield of this magnitude, any ingenious, imaginative tactical actions, or even a single seemingly glorious victory or devastating defeat, actually have little impact on the overall battle situation.

We suffered a great defeat last week, losing 70 million troops. This week we will receive 50 to 60 million reinforcements, so we can launch another large-scale battle. Even if we win, the losses on the other side will be huge...

The two sides are competing with each other for internal strength, for who can't bear the loss and who can't make up for the loss. All tactical goals serve this purpose.

Unless the flagships of both sides are destroyed, or the war leaders of both sides are killed, or more than one billion enemy forces are wiped out at one time, the victory or defeat of a single battle will definitely have significance, but it will not be that great.

But now, the greenskins' reinforcements were suddenly cut off. In the past few battles, they had to retreat completely because of the untimely reinforcements and supplies.

Of course, Titus also knew the news of Saru's defeat and that his own nest had been destroyed.

To be honest, this was a situation he had never expected.

When he launched this earth-shaking waaagh, his target was directly aimed at the most core and prosperous places in this star field - the Yunluo Star Region and the Steel Fire Dragon Star Region.

This was his goal. He never imagined that the Eastern Front, which he had never taken seriously from the beginning, would bring him so much trouble.

He originally thought that the so-called Pegasus Star Region was similar to other areas in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region. He only needed to send out a fleet of ships and spread the green-skinned guys everywhere to solve the problem.

At the beginning, things were developing just as he expected. The Eagle Horse Sector and the Misty Horse Sector were like all the other invaded star regions. They had no ability to resist and were turned upside down.

Then, the so-called alliance dealt him a heavy blow.

His aggressive fleet was destroyed in one battle; in the Battle of Steel Wing Star, his general One-Toothed Ghost was killed, and hundreds of millions of green-skinned guys were wiped out in various places on the Eastern Front.

At that time, he had already realized that a powerful opponent had emerged on the Eastern Front.

He attaches great importance to this.

He sent his general, King Saru, over there, gave him a fleet, troops, and very high authority. He was also allowed to enjoy the allocation of part of the resources requisitioned from the greenskins' lair.

And he also told Saroo clearly that what he wanted was not for Saroo to achieve any results on the Eastern Front, but just to hold on and to achieve a stalemate with the small force called the "Alliance" on the Eastern Front.

Saru listened to him very much and indeed achieved his goal. Even though Saru had annoyed him a lot in the past few years and cut off many reinforcements, he tolerated it all as long as there were no more problems on the Eastern Front.

Saru held the position for two and a half years, and the Eastern Front was peaceful.

Titus had already felt relieved.

But unexpectedly, Saroo made a big splash and gave him a huge job.

After the great defeat in the Battle of Temir, the Allied forces blocked the road to the south from the Iron Teeth's lair, forcing it to take a detour to the north. This made Titus very uncomfortable, and all supplies slowed down.

Then, when the Alliance stormed his lair, even this slow supply was gone.

The green core planets are being destroyed one by one. What can we do?

Titus has realized that there is a big problem with the overall situation.

Without the need for that group of annoying canned shrimps to attack him, he was already actively shrinking the battle line.

But those canned shrimps apparently seemed to have known some news and launched a fierce attack on all fronts.

One side intends to retreat, while the other side intends to pursue and expand the victory. The result that emerges is naturally that the green-skinned orcs' front line will collapse.

In an emergency, Titus could not care less. He could not mobilize troops from his home base, so he could only mobilize troops from other planets that had been invaded in the past four years.

This is definitely not a good choice. Most of those planets have not been completely occupied by the greenskins and cannot provide sufficient support of all kinds.

However, he had no other choice but to protect the main force on the main battlefield first.

…

Of course, Casimir Erso also knew what was happening on the Eastern Front.

In fact, after the victory in Temir, Gu Hang changed his style of not contacting the Western Front in previous years and reported the victory news as soon as possible.

Half a year ago, I sent envoys to ask you to take the initiative, but you ignored me and even brought up the Chairman of the Eastern Universe, Zuo Zhaofeng, to put pressure on me. As a result, now you are attacking on all fronts without even saying hello?

What on earth do you want to do as an alliance?

Erso was indignant, but the main reason was that he was a little skeptical about the battle record reported by the Alliance.

When Erso heard the news that three hundred warships and billions of greenskins were destroyed, he was indeed a little bit unconvinced.

An attack of this scale, if placed on their main battlefield on the Western Front, would be a very heavy blow to the greenskins, enough to allow them to push the front line forward a long way.

Can the Eastern Front be won?

You have battleships? That's fine.

After the Battle of Temir, Gu Hang continued this style of fully communicating with him.

In fact, to say that it was sufficient was only compared to the previous two years. Gu Hang basically just sent messages unilaterally, and had no intention of discussing how to fight this war with Commander-in-Chief Erso.

The Alliance will simply tell these friendly forces clearly what we have done, what we are doing, and what we are going to do.

As for whether you are willing to cooperate or not, it is up to you.

The attitude of the Alliance actually made Erso a little annoyed.

But it just can’t be sent out.

Gu Hang ignored him, and after thinking about it, he found that he seemed to have no choice.

What else could he do except seize this opportunity and pursue actively?

He secretly had an idea in his mind, to let the main force of the greenskins go back, and then he would follow behind, and then watch a fierce battle between the Alliance and the main force of the greenskins, and see what expression would be on the face of the arrogant Gu Hang at that time.

But this is just a thought.

The Greenskins' former flagship has been destroyed by the Fury of Flame, and all they have left is a poor version of a Battle Moon, whose actual combat power is about the same as that of a battleship; the main force of the Greenskins' ground forces may be only in the order of several billion.

If they retreat and fight the alliance, the alliance may not be defeated.

In particular, he also received a notification from the Alliance that the Alliance had been working hard to build defense systems and fortify the planets on the roads that the greenskins had to take to retreat, such as Dumingxing and Guangfuxing. If a fight breaks out in the future, these places will probably not be considered the greenskins' home ground.

What would he do if the alliance won or the game ended in a draw?

They came with great fanfare to reinforce the Dragon Eagle Star Region, and fought for two and a half years, always serving as the main force on the front line. Ships were lost one after another, and companies of fighting brothers were killed one after another. In the end, the Iron Tooth Clan was defeated by the Alliance?

All honor goes to the Alliance?

The thought of that situation was something Erso could never accept.

At this moment, no one can erase the role of the Alliance in this war. After all, objectively speaking, they did make a huge contribution to the overall war situation.

However, there is still one greatest victory in front of Erso, which is also the greatest crown of the entire Iron Tooth War:

That was Titus himself.

The greenskin main force led by the orc chieftain cannot be allowed to escape.

If we can capture them and eliminate this great chieftain, the Irontooth Clan will become another medal in the history of the Rageflame Chapter.

The value of this medal is still very high. After all, a large greenskin nation with battle moons, even if they are the cheapest ones, and hundreds of billions of them, which have plagued a star field for decades, was destroyed by the Rage of Flame. This is one of the most commendable achievements in the long history of the Rage of Flame.

Although the Alliance played a major role in this war, it was at best a secondary role and could only be considered a small episode in the story behind their medal.

From this perspective, he has to thank the alliance.

Without the huge advantage gained by the Alliance on the Eastern Front, the Fury Legion would not know how long it would take to fight the Irontooth Orcs in the Dragonhawk Star Field and how much sacrifice it would have to make.

Now, they have a huge advantage and can win the game.

As long as they win the battle and kill Titus, it will not only add a glorious chapter to the chapter's history, but also mean they have successfully completed the biggest goal of participating in the Iron Tooth War: to expand the chapter's influence in the Eastern Universe through military exploits.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Erso must wear the crown of Titus' death on his head. If it is taken away by the Alliance, the Fury will be pure clowns.

Fortunately, the Alliance did not seem to have any intention of doing so. The Alliance's fleet was only stationed at the two strategic points of Dumingxing and Guangfuxing in the south, blocking the greenskins' escape route to the north, and had no intention of going south to participate in the main battlefield.

Although Gu Hang did not say it explicitly, his meaning was actually quite clear: Go get what you want yourself, I have already provided you with the greatest help.

Erso decided to put aside some of his opinions on Gu Hang and focus on the battlefield first.

…

The Fury Regiment's relentless pursuit did indeed have a great effect.

After suffering several defeats, Titus did not dare to continue fighting and fled instead.

Moreover, he did not dare to escape directly from the Snow Eagle Star Region to the Pride Hand Star Region.

That would cause them to be blocked by the alliance fleet stationed in Duxingxing.

Although his main force was much larger than the Alliance's defenders, he was not sure that he could quickly defeat the Alliance's Capital Stars, which had been operating for several months.

If they were caught up in a fierce battle with the Alliance there and then caught up by the Fury Legion, they would be in danger of destruction.

On the Eagle Star, which is the border of the three-star regions of Snow Eagle, Pride Hand and Thunder Dragon, Titus made his choice after just a moment's hesitation.

He fled to the Thunder Dragon Star Region.

Here, the human army has not yet set foot on a large scale. The main force of the Mechanicus that counterattacked from the Steel Fire Dragon Star Zone conquered the Dragon Biter Star Zone, but had not yet blocked his escape route to the north.

Using the Thunder Dragon Star Region as a springboard, you can reach the Leisu Star Region with just two jumps.

At this point, he once again faced a choice: he could head southeast, sneak into the Jiaoshou Star District through the Five Fingers Star, and then escape from the north of the Jiaoshou Star District into the Kuoluo Star District, which would mean returning to his old nest.

But there is some danger.

Although the Five Finger Star was not built by the Alliance like the Metropolitan Star, it was closer to the main force of the Alliance. The Alliance had enough time to deploy forces and gather troops to stop him before he returned to the Kuo Luo Star Region.

The pursuers behind him were not just the Fury of Flame. If they failed to stop him, the Guardians of the Mingyang Sect would also catch up with him. These oilmen whose mechanical arks were destroyed by greenskins and whose forge world Jindi was invaded by greenskins hated the Irontooth Orcs.

Another option is to continue fleeing northward from the Leisu Star Region to the Manwu Star Region, where he can directly enter the Jiangmeiyu Star Region. The humans in the Manwu Star Region have not yet attacked, and the Jiangmeiyu Star Region is the only one of the four major star regions of the Irontooth Clan's nest that has not been swept by the Alliance, so the training of soldiers and the greenskin industry are relatively well maintained.

That's where he has the best chance of making a comeback.

There are two options, one is high-risk but can return quickly, and the other is a detour but relatively safe.

How to choose?

Before he could come up with a conclusion, something that should have been expected but was the thing he absolutely did not want to see happened.

Rebellion.

In addition, I still have to explain that I didn’t actually want to write the settings of the previous chapter at the beginning, but some comrades said that they wanted to know the specific ecology and growth of the greenskins, and expressed that they were not sure about the scale and potential of the Iron Teeth.

So I thought about making up for some.

As a result, I continued to be scolded...

In the future, try to write as little settings as possible. If you write something that is necessary to the plot, try to control the length.

…

In addition, this chapter introduces many place names that were rarely mentioned before, and a star map of the easter egg chapter is added later, and the color blocks are updated.

The yellow part is controlled by the Empire, the red part is the conflict star zone, the green part is the greenskin territory, and the blue part is under the actual control of the Alliance.
