Chapter 582, Raging Flames Destruction
The two battle groups staying in the Huanyue Galaxy were in panic all day long.
They know very well that no matter what the next move of the alliance is, they are the ones who must be solved first.
Whether they are strong or not, they can be wiped out quickly; whether they are weak or not, including Alfonzo's battle cruiser that escaped here, they also have three giant ships and two thousand small Space Marines. The fleet also contains a total of possibly millions of mortal auxiliary troops and Imperial Legion troops, which can be regarded as equivalent to the level of the Astra Militarum.
Theoretically, this is a force capable of conquering a star field.
If we don't take care of them, the backyard will catch fire at any time.
In panic, the original ruling class on Huanyue Star had some thoughts.
They found people and conducted some testing with the two war groups, hoping to 'discuss' the possibility of surrender...no, 'bringing order to order'.
We are all human beings, not aliens;
Everyone believes in the emperor, it’s not a heresy;
It's just that the careerist Humphrey Paul deceived everyone into thinking that all the people on Holy Terra were bad people, so they followed suit and became independent.
Recognize Humphrey Paul as a traitor, re-recognize Holy Terra, recognize the dominance of the Alliance...
In this way, will it be possible to return to the empire?
Of course, it's impossible not to pay a price.
The price of betrayal must always be paid.
However, no matter how high the price is, can it be so high that we can fight a war with the Alliance with a very small chance of winning, and then be liquidated by the Alliance again after paying huge sacrifices and casualties?
If that were the case, every member of the ruling class on Huanyue Star might not be able to stay in their current position. Even, not necessarily many people can survive.
They want to surrender, even if it is unconditional surrender, they will accept it.
But they obviously couldn't make the decision on this matter and had to discuss it with Adler Paulitos.
After the Raging Flame and the New Age Torch came to this world, all the military power of this planet was taken over by them.
This is as it should be.
In other words, Huanyue Star's own military strength, the local defense force, which numbered less than 100 million, should be saved first. The valuable thing about Huanyue Star itself is its relatively complete planetary defense system. Not to mention how strong it is, but it has everything it should have, which is already good.
In comparison, the most reliable ones are the two battle groups themselves, as well as the troops and fleets they bring with them.
If these local dignitaries want to surrender, they have no control over it.
The Space Marines have to be persuaded.
The result of this persuasion was that Paulitos killed them all.
Realizing that these Moon Phantoms were unreliable, Paulitos launched a purge.
Clean out the upper level, promote some of the middle level, and then extract trustworthy people from the Royal Legion and Chapter Auxiliary Army to fill key positions.
Backed by powerful force and the lingering power of the Great Purge, they were able to hold the entire world firmly in their hands.
Anyway, he doesn't need to consider long-term governance issues, only short-term strong control.
Then, he withdrew a large number of marine troops from the starport, starfort, and ships to the surface.
After unloading the marines, the light Fury Fleet left the orbit of the Huanyue Galaxy and sailed into deep space.
They will not leave this galaxy, but the void of a galaxy is very huge. Hidden, and when the alliance attacked Huanyue, they supported it from the outside. When the alliance tried to pursue, they fled far away...
Although there will be great risks, for example, the Retribution-class battleship does not have the maneuverability to perform such an operation.
Nor does it move out at will.
One by one, fast destroyers and cruisers will take on this job - harassing the Alliance's offensive fleet. And as long as the alliance ships have a tendency to turn around to deal with them, these small speedboats will run away.
If you don't pursue it, just turn around and continue to harass. If you pursue it, how can you chase the scattered Fury Flame ships? As long as they are separated, they will always have to worry about the presence of a battle cruiser, a battle barge, or a battleship among the enemy. They may burst out of the void at any time and strike a blow at the Alliance ship that rashly acts alone.
Of course, all this sounds nice, but in fact, it is all done out of necessity.
To put it bluntly, Paulitos has understood the situation.
He couldn't escape, and normal defense was hopeless. Although it is difficult for the alliance to devote all its strength to deal with him at the moment, as long as they wait a few months for the alliance to repair their ship, and cooperate with Gu Hang's exaggerated and incredible psychic power, as well as the phoenix and The powerful combat power displayed by the blood shark... Even if Huanyue had a complete orbital defense system, it would be impossible to defend it.
He actually thought about surrendering.
Just as the local dignitaries on Huanyue thought, the relationship between the two parties was not completely life-and-death. They are not aliens, nor have they fallen into chaos.
After careful consideration, however, Paulitos abandoned the idea.
It's not for any other reason. If the battle group can be saved, he is willing to give everything and do anything.
But he believed that surrender would not save his Chapter.
He could swear that if he surrendered, he would never be an enemy of the Alliance in the future.
However, he couldn't believe any of the promises the league made to him.
The hatred between the two sides was too great and too much, and it was mutual.
The Raging Flames had once killed the Phoenix, and had fought against the Alliance in Dragonhawk; the Alliance and the Phoenix had also violently defeated the Raging Flames. The previous Chapter Master Erso, who was loved by his battle brothers, died in In the hands of the Phoenix...
Paulitos could only guarantee that he was sensible and could endure all the humiliation, but he could not guarantee that everyone in the war group thought so. Once they surrender, if one of them can't hold back his breath and does something, it will easily give the alliance a reason to go on a killing spree.
If you think about it from another person's perspective, it is impossible for the Alliance to trust Fury Flame very much just because Fury Flame surrendered. When the time comes, send them to fight key battles? How dare you? What if you switch sides again?
If Paulitos were in Gu Hang's position, he felt that he would accept all the surrender conditions of Fury Flame, then imprison the whole group and execute them secretly.
Because of this, he did not dare to surrender.
He is determined to continue to hold on on the ground, even in the excavated bunkers and very deep tunnels.
All he could see was darkness and no future.
But even so, we must persevere in this darkness. Even if the final result won't make any difference.
……
As Paulitos expected, the alliance's attack on Huanyue soon began.
The only ones participating in the battle were the Zhuge-class aircraft carrier, three battle cruisers, and the Blood Shark Fleet.
All other ships were repaired.
There are not many ships, but the most important person, Gu Hang, is here.
All the preparations and efforts made by Nu Yan were completely destroyed in a short period of time. First, the planet's peripheral defense system was attacked. The Furious Flame Fleet, which ran out first, dispatched some small ships to harass them as planned.
The Alliance pursued decisively.
The Raging Flame fleet dispersed and fled, and the Alliance also dispersed to pursue them.
Originally hiding in the dark, the three giant ships that the Hope Alliance used as a weapon were in trouble.
You don't play by the rules!
If you don't show up, you will just sit back and watch the alliance catch all the small and medium-sized ships that attack.
Although the value of these ships is not that great, it only takes two or three visits and the fleet will be exhausted.
But if they show up... it's not like the Alliance doesn't know they have a big ship and dares to disperse and pursue them, so they must be prepared, right?
After some discussion, they came forward.
Three giant ships appeared together and blocked the face of an Alliance battle cruiser, the Rongrin.
This is a good fighter, but these three big ships are still very cautious. They did not rush forward rashly when the number of enemies was small. Instead, they chose to meet their own ships from a distance. Their original intention was to force the Ronglin away.
But even with all their caution, something went wrong.
Ronglin is not afraid at all.
It did not continue to pursue the small boats, but it did not run either. Instead, it relied on the speed and agility of a battlecruiser to cruise around the edge of the fire threat range.
It was obvious from this appearance that they wanted to follow, chase, and keep an eye on them until other ships came to join them, and then together they would eliminate this group of traitorous naval forces that were the only remaining ones.
The Raging Flame Fleet was forced to have no choice but to go all out and attack the Ronglin to destroy or drive it away.
The Ronglin began to escape.
The tug-of-war between the two sides began.
When the distance between the two sides stretched to a certain extent, making it difficult for the battleship 'Starfire Wings' to catch up in a short period of time, Ronglin suddenly launched an attack.
It turned around and opened fire violently on the ship that originally belonged to the Alfonzo sect.
At the same time, the ship's void shield suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, another Raging Flame flagship, the Triumphal Fire, went silent.
There is no doubt that Gu Hang and the Phoenix took action.
The only two hundred angry flame warriors left in the 'Fire of Triumph' were unable to stop it. The think tank could not stop Gu Hang from tearing the void shield, but was shot in the head by Gu Hang; the space warriors could not defeat the phoenix, and the number of phoenix teleported in was only 300, even though the number was only 50% more, But the quality of individual soldiers is much better; there are not many auxiliary troops left in the battle group on the ship, and they are no match for the endless stream of heroic spirits who are not afraid of death...
When the battleship 'Wings of Fire' hurriedly and slowly arrived at the battlefield, Alfonzo's only remaining battle cruiser had flames all over its hull, and it was obviously severely damaged; the Triumph Fire battle barge The firepower blasted out has become very weak, which means that the alliance side has the upper hand in the battle inside the ship.
In this case, Starfire Wings did not retreat. It also knows that its legs are too short to run away, so it can only attack with all its might.
Its offense is effective.
The charging Ronglin was directly knocked sideways.
Previously, the Alfonzo battle cruiser's counterattack and the Triumphal Fire's attack before the firepower system was completely killed had both hit the target. The Ronglin's void shield had been beaten until it turned red.
After delaying for a little longer, by the time the battleships entered the scene, the situation was indeed very dangerous. Multiple large cannons were fired at the Ronglin. First, three rounds of doomsday light spears hit the void shield from red to red, which was a precursor to overload; then an X-level 'Heavenly Punishment' light spear array directly broke the shield and hit the armor of the Ronglin. A hole was melted out.
The gap in frontal combat strength between battle cruisers and battleships is very obvious at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, many artillery shells flying over were dodged and intercepted by the Ronglin, which maneuvered urgently. However, there was still an X-class macro cannon that hit the stern of the ship hard.
The armor could not withstand the damage, and the hull suffered heavy damage. The entire ship was swaying, and it was difficult to maintain a maneuvering posture for a while.
However, just when the 'Wings of Spark' was about to continue its efforts and directly destroy the alliance ship, it suddenly received a shot on the side.
That was the blow from the 'Fire of Triumph'.
The captain of Starfire Wings was quite surprised.
He doesn't understand, why is this happening?
The phoenix is so powerful that it cannot be defeated by the angry flames. Now everyone knows it;
It's a bit outrageous to be speedruned so quickly, but it's still acceptable;
However, taking over a ship is not simple and requires a large number of crew members.
When you joined the gang, did you bring along the technical staff? And he was able to jump so far and take over the warship before the battle was over?
I have never heard of such a thing in my life!
However, the captain of the Starfire Wings soon remembered something else: the Fire of Triumph was no ordinary battleship, it was a battle barge exclusive to the Space Marines.
It has quite a few positions that only Space Marines can fill. They are connected to the black carapace via nerve cords and can directly control many key parts of the ship, just like Space Marines are neurally connected to their power armor.
This is a direction of interpretation.
Although I didn’t understand some details, for example, the nervous system is also connected, isn’t there such a thing as password locks and genetic identification?
In addition to the key positions performed by Space Marines, the remaining non-key positions also require a large number of crew members. Where do they come from?
These questions have never been answered.
But the 'Wings of Spark' had lost the best opportunity to destroy the Ronglin.
Many frigates have caught up, and even a moon-class ship is launching a fierce charge towards the 'Wings of Spark'.
On the one hand, these small and medium-sized ships intercepted the attacks launched by our own destroyers and cruisers on the Ronglin. On the other hand, they also blocked the next two rounds of artillery fire from the Wings of Sparks.
Although they paid for two Moon-class ships and more than ten Silver Shield and Silver Sword class ships, the Ronglin was saved.
At the same time, they were invaded.
Heroic spirits with lightning appeared from all over the ship; hundreds of phoenixes teleported into their ship.
Soon, the ‘Wings of Spark’ also fell into the hands of the alliance.
After all the outer fleets were lost, the countdown to the destruction of Furious Flames had begun.
