Chapter 932, Emperor's Sword
Gu Hang casually flipped through the battle report.
Every day, countless wars are going on throughout the universe, in the Dark Side Crusade, and in the part that the Terran Expeditionary Alliance is responsible for.
He will also receive countless reports.
Among these wars, the Battle of Papalil was the most important.
In other words, the Battle of Papalil was the largest battle the Alliance had fought in the past decade or so.
Although it didn't last long, from the time the Disaster Fleet showed up, it was only a little over half a month and less than a month, but the intensity was not low at all, and the enemy was also very strong.
It is also because of this that after the final victory was achieved, the results were quite brilliant.
This was the first time that the Alliance had destroyed a Disaster Fleet in an organized manner, and from the prisoners, they learned that this Disaster Fleet was one of the largest fleets, if not the largest. Its destruction was a heavy blow to the entire Chaos force.
The alliance's main fleet also suffered certain losses in this process.
Although the enemy had lost its headquarters, command was in disarray, and they were surrounded and attacked, the quality of their fleet was there after all. When they were desperate, they were still able to achieve a certain effect. The total loss of the Alliance Fleet was about 300 ships, and the Queen of Glory battleship also needed a relatively large repair and maintenance before it could restore its combat effectiveness. A total of six battleships and aircraft carriers were lost, and six battlecruisers were also lost.
This was also a relatively large loss for the Southern Front Army. However, generally speaking, it had a limited impact on the Southern Front Army's expeditionary operations. They could still continue to carry out their missions, but they couldn't be too reckless. If they really encountered any major and difficult problems, the Queen of Glory would have to think twice before repairing and replenishing the main fleet.
It won't take too long for the Southern Front Army to restore its overall combat power. The Queen of Glory will be fine after a year or so of maintenance. After the flagship is repaired, the Alliance's new batch of warships should be able to be sent to the Southern Front Army. By then, the size of the main fleet will be restored to the level before the Battle of Papalil.
Another reason why Gu Hang was very concerned about this battle was that this was the first battle that Martins participated in after completing his transformation. Gu Hang still wanted to see how this Son of God created by himself could perform, and whether he was worthy of his energy and a considerable amount of subspace essence.
As it turns out, it's well worth it.
From two aspects, Martins' outstanding battle command ability and individual combat strength are quite outstanding.
It was even so strong that Gu Hang was a little surprised.
He originally called Martins' achievements "Little Primarch". The lowest bottom line was that he had to be able to reach the level of combat power of the Bone Crusher King, which would be barely qualified.
But the actual effect still exceeds the passing line and reaches an excellent level.
Martins' individual combat power must have surpassed that of the Bone Crusher King.
As for whether he could reach the level of a true Son of God... Gu Hang felt that he might still be a little short of it.
After all, he had really seen the true Son of God and the power he possessed.
That would be Robert, of course.
For the Empire, even for the Infinite Star Field, Robert's awakening place and old nest, after Robert assembled a Terran expeditionary force and led them into the subspace, there has been no news since then.
Only very occasionally, every few months, were the astropaths on the Superstar able to receive fragments of information sent back from the expedition through the warp.
Only this bit of evidence can prove that the expeditionary force that entered the subspace is still alive and still working hard to reach Holy Terra.
But it has been fourteen years since then.
If we use the astral tunnel and there are no obstacles in between, it will take about a year and a half, or at most two years, to reach Holy Terra from the Infinite Star Field, no matter how slow you go.
But it has been fourteen years since the army led by Robert began to travel through the subspace.
From this we can see that, not to mention the safety and instability of subspace navigation, its time efficiency alone is much worse than navigation through astral tunnels.
Of course, if it was normal subspace navigation, it wouldn't take so many years.
Robert himself has a say in this. Before he was dying and entered the stasis field, when the Empire was still using subspace navigation technology, he had no idea how many times he had sailed from Superstar to Holy Terra. The time spent in between was generally between two and four years, and it would never be as long as fourteen years.
The reason it took so long was obviously because his voyage was not smooth.
Others could not see it, but Gu Hang could see it clearly because of his real son who was on the boat.
In the hundred years since the Cataclysm, the Warp has been turbulent, which has brought greater difficulty and danger to Warp navigation.
What's more, the appearance of the only living Son of God in the human empire attracted countless eyes.
Countless demons from the subspace are eager to come to the door. If you can kill this son of God and offer a great gift to the evil god you belong to, you will be able to greatly please the gods and be promoted to the Lord of God!
However, it is not easy to find ships sailing in the subspace.
The Warp is too vast and huge, even for the native demons in the Warp.
The ancient technology from ten thousand years ago is now effective. The human fleet's whereabouts are secretive when sailing, and it takes time for the demons to find them, and they often make the wrong choice.
What's more, can you win just by coming up?
Under the Emperor's sword wielded by the Son of God, any demon who dares to come will not escape death.
And it is real death.
This is too terrifying for the demons.
Generally speaking, the reason why demons can stir up trouble and feel fearless in both the real universe and the warp is that they are actually immortal. They have the essence of the warp, and their essence is indestructible, so even if they are killed, they will just return from the warp after a period of time.
There are very few things that can truly destroy them.
But that's what the Emperor's Sword is.
That was truly the divine sword that the Emperor had once wielded personally.
