Chapter 166, Naval Battle Settlement
When Gu Hang opened his eyes again, it was already dozens of minutes later and the battle at the intersection had ended.
When the soldier from the 3rd Independent Regiment who fell from the sky blew up the orc commander-in-chief with a melta bomb that came from nowhere, Gu Hang withdrew his telekinetic control over Kuang Ya and used his psychic power to pull the old priest, who was already on his last breath and unconscious, back with all his strength to prevent him from being affected by the melta bomb.
At the same time, he also saw that while Martins was retreating quickly, he did not forget to pull the heroic soldier back.
Then, he saw that Kuangya was melted by the melta bomb starting from his chest which had completely lost the protection of his armor, and then his entire body was burned from the inside out.
Although there were still many green-skinned orcs alive on the battlefield when Crazy Fang died, according to the characteristics of the green-skinned orcs, the threat posed by the remaining green-skinned orcs would drop sharply after the death of the biggest leader.
Without a leader, they began to become chaotic and fought on their own. Moreover, the combat power of Crazy Fang himself was also very important to this greenskin orc commando. Without him in the front to withstand countless firepower and kill various infantry and armored units, the remaining greenskins, even the killing cans and fear cans, were far inferior in combat strength.
The infantry fighting vehicles began to advance slowly in the eight-meter-wide passage, and the infantry began to attack the enemy in an orderly manner, using the infantry fighting vehicles as cover and as a firepower platform. The infantry battalion that came from the south of the intersection also attacked the greenskin group that was in chaos and had lost its fighting spirit. The rocket launchers fired round after round, and the power of the explosion was even more terrifying in the narrow passage.
In addition, although Gu Hang himself was unable to maintain his combat effectiveness due to psychic overload, and the same was true for Rizzo, there were still three other Space Marines. They became super warriors on the battlefield, playing a role similar to that of Gurney Crazy Fang.
Perhaps, in terms of individual strength, even Martins, the nominal commander of the war group, who was only at the level of a company champion at best and whose equipment was shabby, was far from as strong as the orc warlord. However, they had three people after all, and compared to the greenskin warlord, their biggest advantage was that they were calmer, more rational, and very good at coordinating with mortal troops.
They will not use their power armor to withstand the enemy's most fierce firepower, but they know how to solve the problems when the infantry encounters difficulties.
In general, the battle is basically over and they have achieved the final victory.
Although the troops under Gu Hang suffered heavy casualties, it was fine as long as they won.
After seeing this scene, he could faint without any worries.
He had a splitting headache from overusing his psychic energy.
However, he didn't faint for long, just a few dozen minutes, so it didn't affect anything serious.
After waking up again, he felt much better. Although he was still a little weak and didn't dare to use his spiritual power again, fearing that it would cause more headaches, at least he could move normally without any problems.
At this moment, the entire battle was basically over, and the soldiers under his command were cleaning up the battlefield.
If the greenskins are not completely dead yet, you can shoot them a few more times, or stab them in the head with a bayonet and crush them completely;
If you come across your own comrades, you have to collect their bodies properly; if they are so badly blown up that you can't even tell them apart, you can only collect their heads. If you can't even collect their heads, there's nothing you can do.
But no matter what, there is one thing that must be taken back - the soldier's armband. On it, the number of the unit to which the soldier belongs and his own soldier number will be written.
In this way, the identity of the soldiers can be found out from the Military Affairs Department set up by Thadius.
All soldiers who died heroically should be remembered.
Gu Hang found the body of the orc commander-in-chief. He called Martins to come over and help him: cut off the orc commander-in-chief's head.
It's a good thing that my head didn't get burned clean in the melta bomb.
Holding his head, he went to the bridge command post accompanied by two Space Marines.
As for the other two Space Marines... Rizzo had already been taken away for treatment by another Space Marine.
…
The bridge command center of the Quintet.
Most of Ye Lishia's energy was still on commanding the battleship. She had to keep an eye on the movements of the enemy ships, and also on the situation of the Quintet in all aspects.
However, during this process, part of her mind was always focused on the battle that broke out inside the starship.
After her own Marine Corps gathered its main force and tried to stop the enemy's attack, but was wiped out in one wave, a huge panic enveloped her heart.
What she was most worried about was that her own starship would explode from the inside during the battle.
Ye Lixia also knew that Gu Hang's troops were helped by four Space Marines. She was of course looking forward to these four angels of the Emperor.
However, rationally speaking, can four Space Marines really win against an Orc Warlord?
She didn't dare to think too deeply about this issue, for fear that the result would be too despairing.
She could only focus all her attention on commanding the naval battle.
During this time, she destroyed another greenskin destroyer, and a greenskin frigate was blown up by the firepower of the Beautiful Girl.
Of the two frigates of the Beautiful Girls Caravan that were invaded by boarding, one returned to normal, but the other had its void shield turned off and was soon destroyed.
But overall, the enemy's fleet still consists of one destroyer and two frigates.
These remaining forces, even with just the Quintet, are enough to wipe them all out.
If it were any other time, such as during drills and simulations at school, she would have been popping open the champagne and celebrating a victory with her colleagues in the command group.
But now she doesn't dare.
On the one hand, because this was the first serious naval battle she had ever faced, she did not dare to be careless at all. How could she dare to celebrate in advance until all the green warships were truly destroyed?
The victory or defeat of this battle is countless times more important than any previous exercises or simulations.
On the other hand, there is a huge threat inside the starship, and there is still no conclusion to it.
And just at this moment, news came.
Gu Hang came back and went to the bridge immediately.
"What about the specific battle situation? Did we win or not?" Ye Licia asked.
"No... I don't know." The ship officer who delivered the message was sweating profusely. "Governor Gu didn't say."
Ye Lixia clapped her hands and wanted to curse.
Logically speaking, if he hadn't won, why would Gu Hang dare to come here and keep us in suspense like this?
This should be a win.
But without any definite news, how can we feel at ease?
In the end, she could only say bitterly: "Let him in."
After that, just one minute later, the hatch of the bridge command post opened.
Immediately afterwards, with a gurgling sound, a huge head like a wheel rolled in.
Ye Lisia was startled. The strong fishy smell filled her nose and made her almost vomit.
She was a soldier and a captain, and it was not like she had never seen dead people, but... with her noble status, she rarely went to the bloody battlefield in person. Many cruel battles were shown to her in front of her, but most of the time they were just a report, a string of numbers, or at best some filmed footage.
Why would a noble naval family member, a noble Imperial Navy Commodore, need to take risks personally? Even the pistol on his waist was just a ceremonial weapon.
But no matter how miserable she was, she wouldn't scream.
She held on, looking carefully at the head that rolled in front of her podium.
This belongs to the orc warlord.
She was so sure.
When she looked up again, she saw Gu Hang, who was pale but had a proud smile on his face, striding towards her accompanied by two Space Marines.
Standing in front of the governor's head, Gu Hang said to Ye Lixia on the command platform: "I said, this is the starting point of our glorious road."
A bright smile also bloomed on Ye Lishia's face, and the fishy taste in her mouth and nose became sweet.
No matter how much she hated the smell of the blood of this important enemy, she still hoped to smell it more.
"Governor Gu, you are a hero."
She seemed to no longer care about the fact that before the war, Gu Hang had used the Angry Owl Star troops that boarded the ship to threaten her.
It's not that she is magnanimous, but victory can cover up all contradictions.
The war was won, and the benefits she gained were immeasurable. Not only did she not mind Gu Hang's threats at the time, she was even grateful from the bottom of her heart that Governor Gu helped her strengthen her determination.
It would be such a shame if we missed this achievement.
…
The death of the orc warlord was great news. She finally didn't have to worry anymore, because during the battle, her own starship exploded from the inside.
If the space battle was not still going on at this moment, and the green-skinned ships were not still charging in besides the starships, she would have arranged a welcoming ceremony for Gu Hang who was about to return.
Now, she could finally focus all her attention on commanding the naval battle. Her worries were swept away, and she commanded the battle with high spirits and a calm mind. She felt that even the artillery fire had become more accurate and more powerful.
In contrast, after realizing that the battle inside the Quintet had subsided and the entire ship was no longer in chaos and no longer affected by the boarding operation, the remaining few ships of the greenskin fleet seemed to understand that their boss seemed to have played himself into trouble this time.
Although they had no definite news, they still hesitated. They did not flee, but stopped charging, hesitating at a certain distance, fighting with the Quintet and the Beautiful Maid that was chasing them from the side and rear.
This is obviously a free decision.
After another main destroyer was destroyed, the remaining three green-skinned frigates did not even have the courage to continue fighting and chose to flee directly.
However, if you only remember to run at this time, how can you still escape?
The Quintet chased after them, and using its artillery firepower advantage from a distance, began to call out names one by one.
Finally, when the three green-skinned frigates activated their warp and tried desperately to escape into the star tunnel, their power and energy shield systems failed, and they were all blown up before the warp began.
There is no pain in destroying the greenskin ships.
The green-skinned orcs' starships can only be used by themselves. For humans, even if they capture them, they will just be a pile of scrap metal in their hands, and they can't even drive them. They can't even understand how such a pile of junk can sail stably in space.
After all the green warships were destroyed, the battle settlement scene popped up in Gu Hang's perspective.
[A hearty victory, gaining 1401 points of gifts]
[Naval battle: 2 lost, 12 destroyed]
[Beautiful Girl Caravan (Allied Forces): Lost 2, Destroyed 2]
[Imperial Navy (Allied): Loss 0, Destroy 10]
[Land battle: 13468 lost, 2623 destroyed]
[Beautiful Girl Caravan (Allied Forces): 5569 lost, 823 destroyed]
[Imperial Navy (Allied): 3763 lost, 508 destroyed]
[Phoenix Regiment (Allied Forces): Loss 0, 63 destroyed]
[Angry Star Force: 4136 lost, 1229 eliminated]
…
The battle settlement page this time was a little special. The naval battle part was taken out for settlement separately, and the destruction effect of the ship had basically nothing to do with Gu Hang.
The landing operation has a greater relationship with him.
The damage caused by the orcs' boarding was huge. The troops that boarded were the most elite. The reason why the Beautiful Girls Caravan suffered more than 5,000 casualties was because one of the frigates was boarded and almost all the people inside were killed. At the end of the battle, many sailors were no different from unarmed, so the casualties would definitely be huge.
The Quintet did have elite marines and a large number of armed sailors, but the biggest loss was when it was pierced by Gurney Wildfang's team, which killed too many people and failed to kill too many greenskins.
Only in Gu Hang's battle did he achieve a relatively good combat-damage ratio, but that was mainly because he could not use heavy firepower and could only fight the greenskins face to face, which was a disadvantage. In addition, in order to kill the orc warlord, he suffered a lot of extra casualties.
This battle actually lasted for a very short time. Compared with the battle in the ruins of the tower to annihilate the greenskin clan, which lasted almost two months, this battle, especially the land battle part, probably only lasted a few hours.
But the intensity of the battle was extremely high.
According to Gu Hang's estimation, just looking at the number of reward points for killing greenskins, the number of points should be only a few hundred. Even if those greenskins are more elite and have a lot of killing cans, fear cans and other things, it should not be more than a thousand.
This was the ratio calculated from the battle at the ruins of the tower. In that two-month battle, his troops killed 15,000 greenskins and only received more than 2,000 grace points.
However, this time, the harvest of more than a thousand points is worth thousands of grace points.
The biggest difference may lie in the head of the orc commander.
At this point, Gu Hang had to be thankful that the one who got the final kill was Lacroxia, his soldier.
If the final kill was taken away by Martins, the victory would be counted on the allied forces that did not give grace points, and there would probably be a lot fewer grace points when settling the accounts.
"I must give that kid a huge medal!"
