Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1154: Chapter 627

The ships that withdrew first weren’t many, mainly two battlecruisers and numerous cruisers.

After all, the Alliance has a Retribution-class Battleship, which is also a rather slow piece of equipment.

But as long as there are ships that return first, it’s a good thing.

Just as the Valuk Fleet arrived at Alamita, the Alliance Main Fleet also returned.

Then, Yelisia made a rather fierce decision: charge straight into Alamita!

At the same time, the Alliance ships that reached Alamita’s near orbit earlier would also launch an attack to support them.

Try to block us if you can.

The Mechanical Sect Fleet is also rational.

If they insist on intercepting, they’d first suffer from being attacked on two fronts.

Subsequently, the Alliance Main Fleet charged forward, and in a flash, could enter the cover range of Alamita’s orbital firepower. Unless they could annihilate the Alliance Main Fleet in such a short time, which was clearly impossible.

Once the Alliance Main Fleet charges in, the Mechanical Fleet would be dumbfounded and couldn’t pursue, or else they would crash into Alamita’s orbital vicinity, where the starport, star fortress, combined with ground orbital firepower, might add up to the equivalent of ten battleships.

Starships can’t easily engage in a firepower exchange with a planet.

If a planet’s defense system doesn’t have its starships to cover it, it indeed appears clumsy, inflexible, easily allowing enemy ships to wipe out its outer space stations one by one, and easily getting caught in the gaps of the star fortress’s trajectory to deploy troops on the ground, attacking from the surface…

But these strategies wouldn’t work when the opponent’s orbit still has a strong fleet present.

Both sides once again engaged in a standoff at Alamita.

The Alliance Fleet couldn’t leave, and the Valuk Fleet didn’t dare to advance under anti-orbital firepower, leaving both sides deadlocked.

Yelisia breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from her command in stages, there were some flaws and mistakes, but overall, it should be correct.

In any case, she preserved the Alliance’s Main Fleet. Admittedly, a battlecruiser, specifically the Ronglin, suffered severe damage and was laid up at the starport, and small to medium-sized warships experienced substantial losses during the naval skirmishes in space over the past few days, but overall, the main force survived.

To truly compare losses, the Mechanical Fleet’s small to medium-sized ships might have exploded less, but concerning main capital ships, they lost a Dragon-Serpent-class battlecruiser, with two others heavily damaged, one of which had to return to the factory for repairs, essentially crippling its combat effectiveness; another is still combat-capable, but its command system was damaged, with temporary repairs causing an estimated 30% reduction in combat effectiveness due to impaired command.

Comparatively, it’s uncertain which side suffered greater losses.

Given the fleet’s scale and strength were inferior to the opponents, and the ambush tactic at the warp point was cracked, achieving this outcome should be considered a success.

Including Gu Hang himself, that was the thought.

He found some time to observe the naval battle situation in the real universe, and in a few simple words exchanged with Yelisia, he praised his lady.

Yelisia wasn’t very pleased by Gu Hang’s compliments, maintaining a cautious and conservative approach in her subsequent strategy, engaging in a standoff with the Valuk Fleet at Alamita for half a month.

During this half month, things were relatively calm.

The atmosphere was tense, but there were almost no actual battles, not even tentative clashes.

It seemed that everyone realized that using Alamita’s orbit as a battlefield meant no one could gain the upper hand.

Half a month later, the situation quietly started to change.

Yelisia received news of a large-scale rebellion on the surface of Alamita from her flagship.

Previously, disturbances on the planet had always existed.

Even with Moro, the former Founding General, personally coming down to appease and suppress them, with his connections to the Alfonso Sect, a rebellion seemed impossible.

However, what he had built, the so-called ’Alamita Sect,’ at its core was essentially composed of some of his trusted aides and some individuals from Alamita with wavering attitudes. After all, this place had belonged to the Alfonso Sect for thousands of years. Moro, despite his prestige as the Founding General, couldn’t avoid the fact that some people on the planet harbored allegiance to the Alfonso Sect.

The Alliance used special operations to attack the ground, killing many leaders loyal to the original sect on Alamita, but they didn’t kill them all, only eliminating the most important ones, and with such a thunderous approach and the arrival of Alliance military forces, pressed the planet into a reluctant submission.

At the starport, a brief but fierce battle broke the opposition’s backbone.

On the ground, some leaders of the opposition remained alive; the mid-level and above were not completely wiped out; and the core forces were still intact.

Initially, they were hit hard and intimidated; now, they’ve regained their momentum, with Valuk, their biggest backer outside, having arrived.

Some people started to become active again, which was not surprising.

Not to mention, Valuk would inevitably intervene to some extent.

Just as when the Alliance attacked Alamita, knowing that a strong fortress must be overcome from within, the followers of the Alfonso Sect naturally understood this as well.

Coincidentally, they still have rather advantageous conditions. If the people on Alamita were genuinely allowed to vote collectively, whether they wanted the Alfonso Sect or the so-called ’Alamita Sect,’ just established for a month or two, it’s really uncertain which side would gain more votes.
