Chapter 454: Towing the Battleship Home
The death of Zhong Jihua marked the end of the battle.
After his death, the battle on the ship was not over yet. Not to mention the evil followers who were deeply corrupted by Chaos, even the rebellious Space Marines of the Ashes of the Dead were still alive and fighting stubbornly in various parts of the starship.
But the reason why it is called a desperate resistance is that it means that it no longer affects the overall situation.
The raging army of heroes on the starship has turned the ship upside down.
As a large number of weapon system launch platforms were occupied by these heroes, the battleships quickly became silent, and the threat to human troops outside the starship was greatly reduced.
At the same time, the human fleet stopped attacking the Revenant Spike.
Just silently surrounded.
Next, Gu Hang brought Rizzo and the Phoenix that killed the two hundred ash dead on the Opera and teleported to the battleship.
At this time, a total of more than four hundred Space Marines, with the Legion of Heroes, were carrying out the massacre on the Revenant Spike, and the efficiency suddenly became much higher.
When the third hour after Zhong Jihua's death ended, there was no Chaos Evildoer left alive on the Revenant Spike.
The loss of the Heroic Spirit Corps can be ignored, and they will grow back from the Storm God Kingdom later. The current death only brought some pressure to Gu Hang's spirituality, and he will be able to recover after a period of rest.
About sixty Phoenixes were killed in the battle.
The main loss occurred on the Opera. There were 400 Phoenixes besieging the 200 Ash Dead veterans. These new Phoenixes paid a heavy price when fighting against the veterans.
However, after this battle, the pharmacists of the regiment collected more than 300 gene seeds.
Needless to say, the genetic seeds left behind by the dead phoenixes will definitely be used in the future.
The gene seeds of the more than two hundred, nearly three hundred Ash Dead were a bit embarrassing.
The Ash Dead did not simply defect or betray, but truly fell into Chaos. They accepted the power of a Chaos God and truly became slaves of Chaos.
After their death, the genetic seeds they left behind are likely to have problems due to their depravity in life.
Use such gene seeds to train new recruits for the Phoenix?
Gu Hang didn’t dare.
Who knows what kind of monster will come out?
Even if it seems fine at the moment, it will be a time bomb in the future.
That's not necessary.
It is not acceptable to pay it as tax on genetically modified seeds.
Gu Hang had indeed heard that some Space Marine Chapters would use other people's seeds to pay. This usually came from some Chapters that needed to expand their numbers or urgently needed to quickly restore their size. Generally speaking, most Chapters would care a lot about the purity of their own Chapter's gene seeds, but they had to pay taxes to the Empire, so they would use other seeds to pay.
But these Chapters usually use "friendly" or at worst traitors and defectors to make deals. Using Chaos Space Marines to make deals is a bit ridiculous.
One of the reasons why the Empire collects gene-seed taxes is that it wants to check the purity of each chapter's gene-seeds and ensure that there are no problems with each chapter from the gene-seed level.
If you hand over the Chaos-contaminated seeds, the Empire will definitely cause trouble.
Generally speaking, seized Chaos gene seeds must be destroyed.
But if they really had to be destroyed, Gu Hang still felt it was a bit of a pity.
Three hundred seeds, if exchanged, would be worth thirty thousand points of grace.
Waste is not a good habit.
However, Gu Hang also had an idea for dealing with these gene seeds. Although it was not mature yet and required many attempts, if it could be successful, it would be a way to turn waste into treasure.
All the seeds were collected and divided into two parts. The Phoenix took the seeds away, and Gu Hang collected the Chaos seeds and threw them into the Kingdom of Storm God, waiting for him to deal with them later when he was free.
Afterwards, some naval members boarded the ship.
When they arrived, the battle was completely over and the Legion of Heroes had already returned. The only ones left on the ship were more than 400 red-armored giants and Gu Hang.
As these naval sailors and officers were moving on the ship, they passed by the red-armored giants and all looked at them with respect and awe.
From their perspective, they didn't know what the Legion of Heroes was. They naturally thought that it was these Phoenixes who cleared out all the traitors on a battleship, hundreds of thousands of them.
In just a few hours and with a few hundred people, nearly 200,000 people were killed... This was truly beyond the imagination of these mortal officers.
However, no one would explain anything to them.
The commander who boarded the battleship, who was also the captain of the battleship selected by Gu Hang, was a brigadier general of the Alliance Navy named Song Jianyun.
He came to the bridge, saw Gu Hang, and saluted the leader of the alliance solemnly:
"Commodore of the Alliance Navy, Song Jianyun, reporting to you!"
It is the Alliance Navy, not the Imperial Navy, the two have different sequences.
In the past, the best destination for outstanding graduates of the Naval Academy on Feiyi Star was the Pegasus Fleet, where they could become a glorious officer of the Imperial Navy. The second best destination was to join the ships of the major imperial chambers of commerce, headed by the Gu Corporation.
And now, there is another option - the Alliance Navy.
This option is not as attractive as the Pegasus Fleet at the moment. However, after all, the Pegasus Fleet has been losing ships all the time without any replenishment.
The newly built ships recently by the two major shipyards of the Alliance have been added to the sequence of the joint fleet and are under the command of Commanders Ye Lisia or Zhao Shiliang. Now it seems that there is no difference between the Alliance Navy and the Tianma Fleet, but Gu Hang must consider what will happen after the war.
Then all the new ships will definitely be put into the Alliance Navy.
Including the battleship that we just seized.
Ye Lisia, the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet and acting commander-in-chief of the Pegasus Fleet, had no objection to this.
It is also because of this that it is normal that this wave of crew members, including officers, who boarded the ship, all came from the Alliance Navy.
Gu Hang also saluted Song Jianyun, and then said: "Quickly check the condition of the ship. I hope it can still be started. We need to tow the ship back to the Feiyixing Shipyard. After repair and transformation, this Retribution-class battleship will become the flagship of our Alliance Navy."
"Yes! Our technicians, under the leadership of Chief Consultant Wang Zhaoran, have already started working on this. According to the Chief Consultant's estimate, we will need one day to complete the preliminary assessment and temporary maintenance."
"Well, as soon as possible."
Gu Hang was not satisfied with the long time. But he had no choice but to ask the relevant technical staff to evaluate the situation before departure. At that time, Wang Zhaoran told Gu Hang about the time.
Now, it's just going as expected.
————
There was a little less yesterday, so I’ll make up for it.
There are still some in the evening, but they will be very late. I have to send my friends to the airport, and it will probably be one or two o'clock when I get home.
