Chapter 559, How to save my battle group?
It is indeed difficult for a thousand space warriors to break through the guard of Heyang knights guarding Heyang VIII's star port and star fort and quickly capture key areas.
But in fact, less than a thousand Space Marines took part in the operation.
The Phoenix did not attack in full force.
After all, there are still 300 phoenixes on Bai Qifan's three-ship battle cruiser squadron; of the 700 phoenixes following Gu Hang, there are still 200 left on the ship and have not jumped gangs. .
Only five hundred phoenixes actually went up to fight.
However, among these five hundred Phoenixes, all of them are elites equivalent to the level of Master Chief or above, and half of them have reached the level of company champion...
This cannot be viewed at the regular battle group level.
Especially one hundred and twenty of them, the company champions equipped with iron cavalry terminator power armor, and nineteen fearless mechas. Each of these fearless mechas may be slightly smaller than the Ranger Knight in terms of size. In terms of strength, firepower, and armor, it is even better.
What's more, in order to make up for the lack of numbers, there are many other personnel among the troops who are teleporting to jump gangs.
Sisters of Battle, and Knights of the Confederate States.
Compared with the Alliance's Glory Guards in terms of combat strength, the battle nuns wearing regular 'Samurai God' power armor are not much different.
It might be slightly stronger, but it's actually limited.
After all, the hardware conditions of both parties are actually similar.
Power armors are all servant gods - unless the Glory Guard adopts the 'Commander' type, which may be weaker.
The warriors themselves, whether they are Battle Sisters or Honor Guards, have no level beyond mortals.
It is true that the Battle Sisters have undergone strict training within the Sisters since they were young, but the Alliance's Glory Guards are also trained through the military card system. They are eliminated during the selection process of Space Marines, so their training level is not bad.
The only shortcoming is that the battle sisters have been studying the Emperor's Bible all the time since they were young, and praying every day is indispensable.
Faith has power.
These female warriors who call themselves the 'Emperor's Daughters' also possess some kind of supernatural power.
From the perspective of top psychics like Gu Hang, they are surrounded by a mysterious power from the subspace at all times. They cannot actively use this power to form psychic spells like psykers. However, this power exists firmly in the body of the Battle Sister.
The blessing from the God-Emperor, in addition to the most direct improvement of the "basic attributes" such as strength, agility, spiritual will, etc. of the Battle Sisters, also has at least two characteristics:
It will make the Battle Sister's 'luck' better, making it harder to be hit/more likely to hit the opponent;
This will allow the Battle Sisters to passively expel the surrounding psychic powers that they deny, and they will be suppressed around them.
Counting all these things together, the Battle Sisters are indeed much better than mortals like the Glory Guards who are really not special at all.
Taking the most ordinary Space Marine as a unit, ten Glory Guards combined may be able to defeat one ordinary Space Marine; and six or seven Battle Sisters may be able to defeat one.
Not to mention, Gu Hang had used a technology before: the ‘Valkyrie’ Terminator Power Armor.
This is a type of Terminator power armor used by non-space warriors. Logically speaking, it can be used by mortals after special training.
However, the alliance did not put this armor into mass production on a large scale. It only set up a production line to maintain the minimum level of production, and directly produced the finished product from the black box, which was enough for use.
The reason why it is not mass-produced is mainly because it is too expensive. The cost is four times the price of the iron cavalry type power armor, but its performance is only slightly better than the iron cavalry type.
It is said that it can be used by ordinary people, but if it is really an ordinary mortal, the effect of wearing it is not very good at all.
Only those with very strong beliefs among the Battle Sisters can use some of the magical components in the Valkyrie Armor to exert their intended effectiveness after wearing it.
Among the nuns of Holy Mercy Lily, only seventy-two people have this qualification.
However, the effect of this combination is also very significant. After perfectly exerting the performance of the 'Valkyrie', coupled with the greatly enhanced Imperial Blessing, the combined combat power has even exceeded the strength level of regular space warriors wearing Terminator power armor.
Of course, it can't compare to the strength of Phoenix's company champion and cavalry terminator.
In addition to the battle sisters, there is also a strong help, which is the knight mechas of the Alliance National Knights.
The Alliance is not that concerned about the manufacturing of knight mechas, and does not have many expanded production lines. But after all, after so many years, he has saved a lot of money.
The Space Marines, the ‘Valkyries’ among the Battle Sisters, and the Knight Mechas together formed the main force of the Alliance’s attack on starports and starforts.
A large number of Glory Guards served as supplementary troops.
Before they started to attack, Heyang VIII's star port and star fort had already suffered a round of attacks.
A group of 'ghosts' suddenly arrived at various key locations, seriously disrupting the Heyang Knights' defense.
Then, the alliance's main landing force appeared in the brilliance of psychic teleportation.
They indeed defeated the defenders in the orbit of Heyang VIII in a very short period of time.
Of course, they couldn't wipe out all the defenders on the star fort and star port in just a few hours.
But as long as the control center and key positions such as the void shield are laid down, that's enough.
Behind them, the ship's firepower was enough to destroy the starport and starfort.
Of course, the Alliance will not let the landed elites be buried with them.
Before launching the attack, they had all evacuated through teleportation.
Also teleported to the star port with them was a team of storm mages. These psykers, who are also equipped with power armor, can not only provide some help during the battle, but are also the core key to the team's evacuation.
They directly started long-distance transmission to send so many people back to their own starship, which was not easy. But it is relatively easy to activate short-distance transmission and send people to several approaching boats or even transport planes.
That is to say, after the personnel are basically evacuated, the bombs placed inside the star port, combined with the firepower of the fleet that is ready to go, will destroy the star port that has lost its protection and interception capabilities.
……
After losing its orbital defense power, Heyang VIII felt like the end of the world was coming. Both the members of the Heyang Knights and the senior leaders of the Alfonzo Sect were in constant panic.
They are doing their best to prepare for the final resistance. Fortress artillery in various places is fully prepared. Legions in various places are ready for battle and are waiting for the arrival of the Alliance Legion.
However, the Alliance ignored them and turned around and left.
A planet that has lost its orbital defense system has its significance in interstellar naval battles greatly reduced. Although they still have ground artillery groups, they can still provide some cover if their own ships come over. However, without the star port, the ship cannot be supplied, maintained, or repaired; even a little cover is of little use.
This is still under the premise that there are own ships.
If there is no ship, then Heyang VIII will be as good as dead. No matter how powerful the Heyang Knights on the surface are, they can't get out.
In fact, what the defenders on the surface fear most is that the Alliance will drop an Extinction Order weapon at this time.
There really is no need to fight, the sky-burning torpedo will fall and it will be over.
This risk exists and is unsolvable for the defenders of Heyang VIII. If the Alliance really wants to do this, then they have no choice but to live and die in the hands of the Alliance.
But precisely because of this, they don't care whether the alliance will do this or not.
What's the use of caring?
It can't be stopped.
When the orbital system is completely gone, if the alliance wants to issue an extermination order, it only needs to find a place with the worst air defense on the planet's surface, and clear out the surrounding air defense firepower. An explosion two to three thousand meters away can destroy the world.
There is no need to think too much if there is nothing you can do. Moreover, they did not think that the alliance would be so crazy.
In the past history of the alliance, there was indeed a record of releasing Extermination Order weapons, and more than once.
But that was an extermination order executed against a planet completely occupied by aliens.
An extermination order that would exterminate the world and wipe out billions of civilians on Heyang VIII in the midst of human civil war?
That's crazy.
They don't quite believe that the alliance will do this.
In fact, Gu Hang really had no idea in this regard.
The war hasn't come to this yet.
Gu Hang would not do such a cruel thing, not to mention that if he did such a thing, the pressure from politics and public opinion would become unprecedentedly high.
Just put Heyang VIII here.
Paulson, who was on the surface of the planet, observed the direction in which the Alliance fleet was leaving through his modified mechanical eyes.
After the Alliance fleet spared He Yang VIII, where did it go?
In fact, there are two directions:
Wu Qixing, or the Raging Flame Fleet.
The former, together with Wenqi Star, forms the two ends from the Proud Claw Star Territory to the Alfonzo Star Territory. Wen Qi is on Alfonzo's side, and Wu Qi is on Proud Claw's side.
The Alliance launched an attack on Heyang VIII so aggressively and completely ignored their delaying tactics. Paulson was basically certain that the Alliance should have obtained clear intelligence and knew that Alfonzo's main fleet was already on its way. .
Even if the information is unclear, there is at least a relatively firm guess.
In this way, quickly fighting for Wu Qixing, and even taking down the opposite Wenqi Star, would have great strategic value.
After all, there is only one passage from the Proud Claw Star Territory to the Alfonzo Star Territory.
After taking it, if the Alfonzo Sect wants to come in, they will have no choice but to turn around and bite Wenqi and Wuqi hard.
And the other way to go is naturally to block the Raging Flame Fleet.
It is better to cut off one of his five fingers.
Seeing that there is a possibility of a big fight with the Alfonzo Sect in the future, it is quite necessary to deal with the Furious Flame Fleet scurrying behind.
Otherwise, not to mention whether the Raging Flame Fleet would cause any trouble later, just to keep an eye on them, they would have to send out three battle cruisers and a Blood Shark Fleet, which would be a powerful force. After getting rid of them, all these troops can be mobilized.
Paulson closely observed the departure direction of the Alliance fleet.
Soon, judging from the chosen transition point, he could basically tell that he should be looking for Fury Flame.
Of course, this cannot be ruled out as a cover-up by the alliance. But no matter what, the relevant information must still be spread.
Paulson went to the bottom of the mechanical tower where he was.
There, there is a huge life-saving cabin-like device.
He lay down and his consciousness left his original body in an instant.
The next moment, on the Triumph Fire battle barge, a mechanical body opened its eyes.
He left the room, where several members of the Alfonzo sect wearing red and black robes were guarding the outside.
Seeing him, these people saluted one after another.
He waved his hand and said: "I'm going to see Paulitos."
"Sage Paulson, please come with me. Captain Paulitos has told you that if you are looking for him, you don't need to notify him, just go there as soon as possible."
"Then let's go."
Soon after, Paulson met Paulitos.
The Chapter Master of the Wrathful Flame Chapter had the resolute, indifferent look on his face that was the trademark of the Space Marines.
However, Paulson could clearly see his fatigue on his face.
Obviously, being hunted by the blood shark, Paulitos was under tremendous pressure.
But Paulson had no time to pay attention to Paulitos' emotional problems.
He quickly told Paulitos what he had observed.
Gu Hang came towards him.
And Paulitos did not pay attention to whether the alliance's main fleet might use deception, but actually blocked the key passage of Wenqi and Wuqi.
For him, if that's the case, of course it's good; if it's to block him, with the Blood Shark Fleet behind him and the Alliance Fleet in front, blocking it, his battle group, as well as the New World Torch Battle Group, will probably be destroyed. Here.
The New Age Torch left fifty people in their home world; the Furious Flame left a hundred people behind.
Of course, not all members of the two war groups fight in the Proud Claw Star Territory, but most of them are from wealthy families. They were destroyed here. Although the war group could not be considered completely destroyed, it would take many years before they could return to their peak.
What's more, if this war is lost, the war group may never have a chance, and will be directly expelled, and the bloodline will be directly cut off.
But how to deal with it?
Paulitos could hardly imagine what else he could do.
In the past, being able to keep playing "hide and seek" with the alliance relied on having huge strategic depth.
Now, many core areas of the Proud Claw Star Territory have been captured by the Alliance, and the activity area has been compressed. Previously, the negative consequences of his continuous abandonment of one strategic location after another were highlighted at this time.
More importantly, the blood shark kept following him, causing him to lose the opportunity to change from light to dark.
So what to do?
There is only one way Paulitos can think of to save his battle group.
Paulitos stared at Paulson and asked: "How long will it take for Alfonzo's mechanical fleet to arrive?"
"Two months."
"No, we have to go faster."

Make up for yesterday.
There will be one tonight, but probably very late.
