Chapter 432, I called too early
Gu Hang received the news from Wu Jiarong on Shangyuan Star in the Wuma Star District.
After the Battle of Steelwing Star, the threat of invasion by the main greenskin force on Hippogriff was basically eliminated. What remained was to pacify the greenskin remnants on various planets. The Alliance Army had already dispersed to various places, and the situation was very good.
The Mist Horse sector was also invaded by greenskins, coming from the direction of the Copper Pass sector, but this was obviously not the main force of the greenskins, with fewer ships and fewer numbers. Although the local defense forces were beaten to tears, in fact, once the Seven Horses Agreement was signed, the main force of the alliance arrived and suppressed them all.
In this situation, what else can the leader of Wu Ma do?
He hadn't signed it yet, but all his governors had signed it. He, the leader, immediately became a figurehead. All governors could directly communicate with the Alliance militarily, politically, and economically through the framework of the Seven Horses Agreement. Even the core power to determine the development and population of the star zone and to establish the tax amount was gone.
The imperial taxes are collected by the alliance under the Seven Horse Agreement, so there is no need to set them.
His current situation is that the Alliance can pay attention to him if they want to, but if they don’t, his position as the head of the star sector is useless.
At this point, the leader of the Wu Ma, named Matthias Becker, could no longer be tough and had to sign the agreement with a pinch of his nose.
If he didn't sign, he was worried about his life.
The alliance didn't even need to take action, the governors who had signed the agreement already looked at him with something strange in their eyes.
And Gu Hang came to the Wuma star area.
After the war had stopped, he had originally planned to go back to the Pegasus region. The fastest route was of course to return from the Hippogriff, but since the Mist Horse had just surrendered, it would be fine to go from the Mist Horse. It was a little roundabout, but there were 13 real worlds and 16.6 billion people, and it couldn't be faked.
Compared to the Pegasus region, this population is actually pitifully small. Among the seven territories, the Pegasus region has the fewest planets, but it has money (Flying Wing Star) and people (Koroja). The surrounding regions, Mist Horse looks big, with a population of 16.6 billion; Hippogriff is not much better, with 15 billion, only a quarter of Pegasus. The largest is the Purple Horse region, with 17 worlds and a population of 38 billion.
But after all, it is worth tens of billions, so it is worth Gu Hang's trip.
His journey took him from Steel Wing Star to Green Spring II and Green Spring I, then southwards into the heart of the Mist Horse, then eastwards to Shangyuan Star. After two more jumps, he arrived at Flying Wing Star.
The entire journey is almost over.
As a result, at this time, Wu Jiarong brought him this devastating news.
Shangyuan Star was doomed, and the combined fleet of Dragon Eagle and Mingyang Sect was also doomed. It was unknown how many ships could break out, but the slow mechanical ark was definitely not safe. Without the cover of the fleet, the orbital defense system would be dismantled, and the 1.5 billion elite humans deployed on the surface of the world would be in real trouble.
They will have to fight against the green-skinned orcs under orbital bombardment and cut off from interstellar supplies.
Shangyuan Star itself is not a developed world. At most, it can produce some ammunition to replenish troops, and its industrial facilities have to face the bombing of the greenskins. For example, tanks and Titans, if one is broken, there will be one less. In fact, energy crystals cannot be produced locally, and some high-performance equipment will face energy shortages...
Even food supply will be difficult. Shangyuan Star itself may not be able to supply the food consumption of an additional 1.5 billion troops. That is an astronomical figure.
Famine, energy shortage, bombing, war... the 1.5 billion human army is probably doomed.
Gu Hang feels sad whenever he thinks of that scene.
It does not simply come from fear and terror, but a kind of heaviness and heartache.
1.5 billion people, young and strong, the elite.
There are only so many people on many human planets, and in the entire world, they will all die tragically in the near future, bombarded all over the planet, starved, cold, and in desperate situations.
What a pity.
After the loss of 1.5 billion people, the mechanical ark, and at least half of the fleet, there was nothing in the Dragonhawk Star Region that could stop the Irontooth Orcs with the Battle Moon.
Even though their battle moon is just a show, so what?
The Dragon Eagle Star Region cannot even produce a battleship-level device now, and has no capital to resist at all!
Even for the ground forces, after losing 1 billion defense troops, the multiple human worlds in the rear were already empty, almost equivalent to being defenseless; after losing 300 million star soldiers, the defense of Yunluo Star was also empty; 200 million of the Crusaders were wiped out, and there was even a part of the Titan Legion of the Mingyang Sect among them. The subsequent ground defense of Jindi Star will also face huge challenges...
This was not just a feeling, Gu Hang truly felt threatened.
After the fall of Yunluo and Jindi, who will be the next unlucky person?
Isn't that an alliance?
Even though the Battle of Steel Wing Star was fought in an orderly manner, Gu Hang was not facing the main force of Iron Teeth, and the scale of the battle was an entire order of magnitude smaller than the Battle of Upper Plateau that was taking place at the moment.
If the main force of the greenskins turns eastward, the current alliance will be unable to stop them.
However, the main battlefield of Yunluo and Jindi is out of reach. Even if the alliance can get through, it will not be able to change the situation due to its small size.
Could Gu Hang still find a way to kill that fighting moon?
He's not sure.
How can I save you, my star field?
Gu Hang decided to ask the person who was to be rescued.
With the help of the Star Language Tower on the starship, Gu Hang spent some time dialing the phone number of the star domain government.
The shadowy figure that appeared in front of Gu Hang was the leader of the star field, Tan Jiuyi.
Tan Jiuyi's face was dignified, and the first sentence he said when the call was connected was not very polite: "Gu Hang, you are quite rude now. You obviously have the ability to contact the Star Domain Government, but you rarely take the initiative to contact them. What? Are the Star Domain Government's instructions no longer of any guiding significance to you?"
Hearing this, Gu Hang was stunned.
Is Tan Jiuyi...hitting me?
Gu Hang reacted immediately.
Tan Jiuyi, who is in Yunluo, may not know what happened on Shangyuan Star!
From Tan Jiuyi's perspective, he persuaded the Ming Yang Sect to join forces with him through diplomatic efforts. The green-skinned orcs were dragged on Frostfield IV for a long time, which gave humans precious time to build Upper Plateau into a solid fortress.
In addition, with the upcoming arrival of the 'Raging Flame' regiment, there is already great hope of defeating the green-skinned orcs, and the Alliance does not need to do anything else.
It is possible that this leader has already been thinking about what to do after the war, such as how to limit the increasingly expanding alliance and how to consolidate power.
The words spoken at that moment were a foreshadowing.
After thinking about this, Gu Hang just found it ridiculous.
He said softly, "It seems that I made this call too early."
