Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1156: Chapter 628

Yelisia’s troubles caught Gu Hang’s attention.

Moreover, Gu Hang was somewhat pessimistic about the overall situation.

The Alliance Fleet’s ground troops were not enough. Five army groups were the limit, and that was because the fleet had many Colossal Belly Transport Ships to bring the Army over.

Now, they were all on the ground.

The Alliance Army could certainly send more troops, but they needed transport ships to bring them from home.

Time would surely be sufficient, but the problem was the lack of fleet escort; Valuk’s ships were still surrounding outside, how could the transport ships possibly get through?

Forcing through would mean not valuing soldiers’ lives, it would be suicidal.

In other words, the forces Yelisia could use in dealing with the current ground situation were destined to be limited.

In contrast, Valuk could use forces that were relatively infinite.

He could continuously dispatch troops from places still under his control in more than half of the Alfonso Star Domain, especially from two Founding Worlds.

The Alliance didn’t have enough strength for interception in between.

Deploying was inconvenient, but at least they had means—by taking advantage of the part of space fields correspondingly occupied on the ground.

There would surely be losses, such as being intercepted by Alliance ships.

But the losses were acceptable.

Moreover, the more troops the Alfonso Sect put in, the greater their influence would grow. Those on the planet who originally stood with the Alfonso Sect would become more steadfast; those undecided would become increasingly wavering…

If the Alamita Sect controlled by Moro was eventually overthrown and became short-lived, the whole planet turned against them, then the Alliance Army deployed on the planet would be engulfed in a sea of resistance from the planet’s local forces.

No matter how capable the Alliance Army was, they would be completely overwhelmed.

Such a situation had not yet occurred; Moro was engaged in suppression and cleansing, and it might not necessarily develop to this extent.

However, as long as the war situation does not improve, and the Alliance cannot show signs of winning, this scenario is bound to happen sooner or later.

The involvement of the Interstellar Warriors alleviated this emerging trend.

They reclaimed some ground orbital cannon fortresses.

With each fortress reclaimed, the range of activity for Alliance ships increased; once all were reclaimed, when Alliance ships could fully cover the positions of the ground rebels with orbital firepower, their doom would arrive.

However, the further the fight went, the more arduous it became.

Especially with large numbers of Alfonso Titans and various Knight Orders landing, their combat power was extremely strong.

Often a Warlord Level Titan, paired with a few Warhound-level units, adding dozens of Knight Titans, in combination with batches of Protection Army, could render a fortress impenetrable.

Even if an entire battle group was deployed, paired with Alliance Army’s major forces, even if victorious in direct combat, the battle would be intensely difficult. Significant casualties and prolonged conquest time were inevitable.

Titan, always a majestic and powerful combat unit for human forces on the ground battlefield.

The entire ground war evolved, at a speed beyond anyone’s imagination, into an apocalypse-level battle.

The battlefield encompassed two Nest Capital groups, with both sides committing forces exceeding two hundred million, and not just cannon fodder.

The majestic Titans, heavy tanks, swarm-like aircraft, elite soldiers;

Interstellar Warriors, Battle Nuns, modified mech soldiers…

They fought fiercely against each other in these two Nest Capital groups, equivalent to half a continent’s city group battleground.

Inside the Nest Capital became scorched earth, ruins, survivors continued fighting amid the ruins. Changing flags in a region often meant fighting until both sides lost the last ounce of strength, before temporarily calming. But soon, the next region would once again become the focal battleground.

Through the Interstellar Warriors, through the Army’s courageous fighting and sacrifice, before Alamita’s ground situation deteriorated to a certain extent, with tremendous cost, reclaimed all those fortresses, restored Alamita’s defense system, filled the gaps, preventing Valuk from continuing to deploy forces on the planet’s surface.

Then based on this foundation, Moro could swiftly complete internal cleansing and unify thoughts.

This was Yelisia’s right path to breaking the stalemate.

But it was extremely difficult.

Of course, however difficult it was, she was striving for this.

However, there was a simpler method for breaking the stalemate.

That was in Gu Hang himself.

If he could achieve ultimate victory in the subspace war, then no worries would remain.

The confrontation between him and Valuk, or rather the sweeping subspace shadows, had persisted since the war began until now, lasting just over two months.

In the Storm God Kingdom, the battle between Heroic Spirits and Insect Swarm had never ceased.

The battle situation was not at all easier than in Alamita’s southern hemisphere.

Even more so because of the endless Insect Swarm and the undying Heroic Spirits, the confrontation was even more desperate and brutal.

And during these two months of endless confrontation, both sides saw some noticeable changes.

The azure-purple land of the Storm God Kingdom seemed to lose some of its richness; the original sky-filled lightning seemed to have reduced in frequency some.

As for the subspace shadow shrouding the Divine Realm, it also seemed to have thinned.

Both sides could feel a profound sense of fatigue, yet neither was willing to relax even a bit.

However, in the ongoing confrontation, Gu Hang gradually pondered and found a method to achieve victory.

It just needed verification.

In the past two months, apart from mobilizing the entire Divine Realm’s power into this endless consumption, he also explored and tested whether his method was feasible.

Until now, he felt it was time.

Yelisia, aboard the Emperor-class battleship ’Golden Pass,’ received Gu Hang’s command.

She gathered five hundred Interstellar Warriors from the Shadow Battle Group.

This was not only deploying those previously unused defensive measures on the ship, which were meant to guard against the Valuk Fleet’s boarding spores, but also drawing key personnel from various ground battlefronts.

They gathered on the starship, fully prepared for combat, staying in an empty chamber.

They didn’t know what they were going to do next, but they knew it was an order from the governor. A very important and dangerous battle awaited them.

And when the Interstellar Warriors were ready, Gu Hang no longer delayed.

The entire Storm God Kingdom, in an instant, burst into light!

Under the cover of the subspace shadow, it, for a moment, shone like a tumultuous thunderstorm, with a brilliance that no amount of darkness could conceal.

At least, at this moment, the subspace shadow enveloping the Storm God Kingdom was dispelled and illuminated.

Of course, this was merely an ’illusion.’

The flicker of light lasted just a moment. Like lightning, its momentary brilliance was indeed dazzling, almost turning night into day. But if it was just a flash, darkness would definitely return.

Much like now.

After the Storm God Kingdom’s fierce flash, it did not continue, and the subspace shadow re-enveloped the entire Divine Realm.

Originally, the invading insect swarm within the Divine Realm was all destroyed by the electric light due to the intense energy surge. But as the subspace shadow covered again, the endless insect swarm entered the Storm God Kingdom once more.

It seemed nothing changed.

But, in reality, there was a significant change.

At least, there were two points:

First, such a fierce subspace energy surge was quite conspicuous, allowing many ’beings’ to see.

Previously, Gu Hang avoided making the Storm God Kingdom so conspicuous in the complex, treacherous subspace.

Being conspicuous was not a good thing, for those Evil Gods and their minions were very greedy. Especially since Gu Hang had once swallowed a Great Unclean One, greatly offending the oldest of the four Evil Gods. Being too conspicuous, Gu Hang feared a horde of Great Demons would come to his doorstep.

However, for a long time, Gu Hang silently let the Storm God Kingdom drift in subspace waves, slowly drifting as close as possible to a golden realm.

Although he couldn’t be sure whether that golden area, the conspicuous cold sun in subspace, was truly friendly, it seemed much better.

After such a fierce flash in his Divine Realm, it surely allowed that golden kingdom to ’see’ his situation.

Of course, just because they saw it doesn’t mean they would act.

Gu Hang patiently waited for a while.

Not long, and a reaction came.

Suddenly, within the Storm God Kingdom, an army emerged.

The first batch was a group resembling Interstellar Warriors in black power armor but with skulls, bodies engulfed in flames.

They weren’t numerous, only about two to three thousand, but extremely powerful.

The other type resembled the Angels in classical mythology, with wings and golden bodies. These ’Angels’ were even fewer, only a few hundred, but their combat power was fiercer.

The key point was, whether burning Skeleton Warriors or Angels, they, like Gu Hang’s Heroic Spirits, possessed the ability of infinite resurrection.

Their resurrection was self-initiated, unlike Heroic Spirits who essentially used the Storm God Kingdom’s power for reconstruction, thereby consuming Gu Hang’s energy.

Although not much, the sheer number and the two-month consumption couldn’t withstand it.

Now, with these powerful and elite warriors joining, Gu Hang discovered his energy expenditure reduced significantly.

The sacrifice rate of Heroic Spirits decreased, reducing Gu Hang’s pressure, while the insect swarm was exterminated more swiftly.

On the surface, it seemed there was no difference, given one side was endless and the other side was immortal. But essentially, it caused a subtle, yet significant, shift in the balance of mutual consumption between two massive groups.

Often, just this slight shift could lead to a qualitative change.

For Gu Hang, the qualitative change was that he could now disregard matters within the Storm God Kingdom.

Disregarding didn’t mean not investing any power.

That’s certainly not acceptable, as the main force of endless consumption was still his Heroic Spirits.

However, he could now venture out into the real universe for a day or two, without worrying that without him personally presiding, the entire Storm God Kingdom’s battle situation would collapse swiftly.
