Starting from the Planetary Governor-Chapter 778 - 431, I made the call too early

Chapter 778: Chapter 431, I made the call too early.

Chapter 778: Chapter 431, I made the call too early.

Gu Hang received the news from Wu Jiarong on Shangyuan Star in the Mist Horse Star District.

After the Steel Wing Star battle had ended, the threat of the Green Skins’ main force invading Eagle Horse had been basically eliminated; what remained was to pacify the remnants of the Green Skins on various planets.

The Alliance Army had already dispersed to various locations, and the situation was looking very good.

The Mist Horse Star District had also suffered an invasion by the Green Skins, coming from the direction of Copper Barrier Star District, but this was clearly not the main force of the Green Skins: the ships were few, and their numbers were low.

Even though the local Defense Army was beaten to the point of crying for their parents, once the Seven Horse Treaty was signed, the main forces of the Alliance arrived soon after, and the situation was completely controlled.

Under these circumstances, what else could the leader of Mist Horse do?

He hadn’t signed yet, but all his governors had.

This made him, as the leader, nothing more than a figurehead; all the governors could now directly interact with the Alliance in military, political, and economic matters through the framework of the Seven Horse Treaty.

Even the core power to determine the development level and population of the star sectors, and to establish the tax amount, was lost.

The Imperial Tax was now collected by the Alliance under the Seven Horse Treaty, and there was nothing left to determine.

Now his situation was such that the Alliance would attend to him if they wished, and if they didn’t, his position as the leader of the star sector was utterly useless.

This leader of Mist Horse, named Martesis Becker, had reached a point where he couldn’t put on airs any longer; he held his nose and signed as well.

Not signing, he worried about his own life.

There was no need for the Alliance to act; the looks in the eyes of the governors who had signed were already somewhat wrong.

And so Gu Hang had come to the Mist Horse Star District.

After a brief respite from combat, he had indeed planned to return to the Tianma Star Sector.

The quickest path was certainly to go back the same way through Eagle Horse, but since Mist Horse had just bowed down, it was also fine to pass through this sector.

It was a bit of a detour, but with a solid count of 13 worlds and 16.6 billion people, that was no falsehood.

Compared to the Tianma Star Sector, this population was pitifully small.

In the Seven Horse Territory, Tianma Star Sector had the fewest planets, but it had money (Flying Wing Star) and people (Korolya).

The surrounding star sectors seemed large, with Mist Horse boasting a population of 16.6 billion; Eagle Horse wasn’t much better at 15 billion, both just a quarter of Tianma’s.

The most populous was the Purple Horse Sector, with 17 worlds and just 38 billion people.

But with a scale in the billions, it was still worth Gu Hang making the trip.

In this journey, he traveled from Steel Wing Star to Emerald Spring II, Emerald Spring I, then all the way south into the heartland of Mist Horse, and finally turned east to reach Shangyuan Star.

Two more jumps, and he would be at Flying Wing Star.

The entire journey was almost at an end.

And then, at this moment, Wu Jiarong sent him this catastrophic news.

Upper Plateau Star was finished; the United Fleet of Dragonhawk and Mingyang Sect was also finished.

It was unknown how many ships managed to break through, but the slow-moving Mechanical Arks were definitely doomed.

And without the Fleet’s protection, the Orbital Defense system was sure to be dismantled, meaning real trouble for the fifteen billion elite human troops deployed across the planet.

They would face off against the Green Skin Orcs under orbital bombardment, with interstellar supplies cut off.

Upper Plateau Star itself wasn’t exactly a developed world, at best producing some ammunition to resupply the troops, while its industrial facilities also faced bombing by the Green Skins.

As for things like tanks and Titans, once one was destroyed, that was one less available.

They couldn’t even produce energy crystals locally, so some high-performance equipment would face an energy shortage…

Even food supplies would be problematic; Upper Plateau Star probably couldn’t meet the additional food consumption of fifteen billion troops – that was an astronomical figure.

Famine, energy shortages, bombing, war…

Fifteen billion human soldiers were likely doomed.

Just thinking about that scene made Gu Hang feel sad.

That feeling didn’t come simply from fear and terror, but was a sense of heaviness, of heartache.

Fifteen billion people, young and strong, the elite.

Many human planets had that many inhabitants in an entire world.

And they, in the not-too-distant future, would die tragically amidst bombings that covered the planet, amid bitter cold and hunger, in the grip of desperation.

It was such a waste.

And with the loss of these fifteen billion people, the loss of the Mechanical Arks, and the loss of at least half the Fleet, the Dragonhawk Star Domain no longer had anything that could block the Iron Tooth Orcs with their battle moons.

Though their battle moons were only for show, what did that matter?

The Dragonhawk Star Domain now can’t even come up with a single battleship-class object and has no capital to fight back!

Even the ground forces, after losing a billion of the called-up Defense Army, the many human worlds behind them are now empty, almost as if defenseless; after losing three hundred million from the Star Realm Army, the defenses of Yunluo Star have also been depleted; the Protection Army lost two hundred million, including a portion from the Mingyang Sect’s Titan Legion forces, and the ground defenses of Jindi Star will face a huge challenge…

This was not only a feeling of nostalgia, Gu Hang genuinely felt the threat.

After the fall of Yunluo and Jindi, who would be the next unfortunate one?

Wouldn’t that be the Alliance?

Don’t look at the battle of Steel Wing Star as if it were serious, but Gu Hang wasn’t facing the main force of the Iron Tooth; the scale of the battle was an entire magnitude smaller than the current battle occurring at Upper Plateau Star.

If the Green Skin main forces turned eastward, the current Alliance would be unable to stop them.

But at the main battlefield of Yunluo and Jindi, not to mention being out of reach, even if they could get there, the Alliance with its slight build, also couldn’t change the course of the war.

Could Gu Hang possibly think of a way to kill that battle moon?

He wasn’t sure of it.

How can I save you, my Star Domain?

Gu Hang decided to go ask the person who needed to be saved.

By making use of the Star Language Tower on the starship, and after some time, Gu Hang dialed the Star Domain Government’s number.

The holographic figure that appeared before Gu Hang was Tan Jiuyi, the head of the Star Domain.

Tan Jiuyi’s face was stern, and the first thing he said upon connection was quite rude, “Gu Hang, you’re behaving quite inappropriately this moment.

You clearly have the capacity to contact the Star Domain Government yet seldom do so actively.

What?

Do the directives from the Star Domain Government have no guiding significance to you now?”

Gu Hang was taken aback upon hearing this.

Is Tan Jiuyi hinting at something to me?

Gu Hang immediately came to his senses.

Tan Jiuyi, who was in Yunluo, might not even know what had happened on Upper Plateau Star!

From Tan Jiuyi’s perspective, he negotiated diligently, convincing the Mingyang Sect to join forces with him to strike out, and the Green Skins were detained at Frost Origin IV for a long time without movement, providing precious time for humans to turn Upper Plateau Star into a solid fortress.

Furthermore, with the ‘Furyflame’ Battle Group about to arrive, there was already a great hope of defeating the Green Skin Orcs, without needing anything further from the Alliance.

This head of government might even be considering post-war matters already, such as how to limit the increasingly expanding Alliance and how to consolidate power.

The current admonishment was just planting a seed for the future.

Realizing all this, Gu Hang found it laughable.

He spoke softly, “It seems I called too early.”
