Chapter 668, recorded in war history
It was several weeks before Gu Hang received the Wanzhou Star battle report.
There is no way, inside the Queen's Star Territory, which is completely shrouded by the huge shadow of subspace, information communication is such a trouble.
After reading the contents, he was quite emotional about the Battle of Wanzhou Star.
Afterwards, statistics showed that tens of thousands of space warriors from both sides participated in the battle.
The imperial side's Otaupis is 700, the Phoenix is 900, the Blood Shark is 600, and the Spear of the Dragon King is 600, which is 2,800.
The remaining warriors were distributed on other battlefields and not all came.
In addition, there were hundreds of Space Marines left over from the original Western Front Legion led by Phoenix. When the new Western Front Legion was formed, there were seven battle groups sending more than a thousand people.
For this battle, these 'miscellaneous groups' also gathered 800 people.
A total of at least 3,600 space warriors from the empire appeared on this single battlefield.
On the Iron Armor side, there were even more numbers. Not only were 6,000 Iron Armor warriors gathered, but there were also 2,000 Rock Shield warriors.
As the "stone" of the "Iron Fury Stone", their relationship with Iron Armor is even stronger than that of Fury Flame. After the Iron Armor rebellion broke out, they have been fighting beside Iron Armor. Naturally, their entire battle group did not escape the consequences of deep infection. Their chapter leader was actually on this battlefield, but he did not participate in the battle between Salius and Humphrey Paul.
If Humphrey Paul knew that he was under a fatal threat, he would definitely call Captain Rock. Although that guy's strength level may be weaker than Martins, he is a great help after all.
However, Humphrey Paul may have thought that he was certain to win against Salisius, so he left Captain Rock to destroy the Alliance's knights and Titans; when Martins suddenly arrived with support, he immediately called Captain Panshi and even several other warriors at the champion level of the war group came, but it was already too late. Once Martins arrived, the tide of battle turned so quickly that Humphrey Paul died before reinforcements could arrive.
Once Paul dies, it will be meaningless no matter how many and strong the remaining masters are.
The epic battle came to an abrupt end when Humphrey Paul died, as if the story was suddenly cut off at its climax.
But no matter what, it cannot be denied that this kind of battle, in which more than 10,000 Space Marines from both sides and hundreds of Titans each participated in the battle, adding up to nearly a thousand, will probably leave a heavy mark in the history of the entire empire.
Moreover, the fragmentation of the Space Marines, the most serious Chapter Civil War in the past 10,000 years, the Space Marine leader being infected by insects, which led to Chapter rebellion, and attempts to cultivate and control the technology of the Insect Queen... these factors will probably remain. The historical records of the empire will have a profound impact on many things in the future empire.
For example, what Gu Hang was most worried about was that Tie Kai's rebellion aroused the central government's vigilance against local separatist forces.
To put it bluntly, he is himself.
However, that is something that needs to be considered in the future anyway.
For now, we still need to fight the battle well.
The number of troops who followed Gu Hang into the Queen's Star Territory and broke into the shadows of the subspace were not as numerous as those on the Western Front in terms of space warriors.
On the western front empire, there are more than 3,000 people from Salisius, plus the 3,000 brought by Martins, this is 6,000.
Without this strength, it would be difficult for the Iron Armor to last as long as it did.
As for Gu Hang, there were not even 3,000 people around him. New Raging Flame, new Torch of the New Era, plus a Shadow Chapter.
The full force should be 3,000 people, but many were sacrificed in the previous battle with the Alfonzo sect. Even if Gu Hang immediately recruits people to replace him, all the acceleration options and training options that should be exchanged are used, but after all, growth still takes time, and not all of them have been completed.
The war is so stressful that there is no time for him to wait any longer.
At this stage, Gu Hang clearly realized that the Western Front battlefield was the main battlefield, and his own side was secondary. The core task was to attract the attention of the insect swarm and not let the insect swarm send out any troops during the decisive battle on the Western Front. More forces were used to harass, causing the empire on the western front to allocate too many troops to defend.
Gu Hang completed the task quite well.
In order to ensure the safety of his troops, his legion almost completely stopped advancing. Instead, he used a planet selected as one of the forward bases as an anchor point, attracting a large number of insect swarms to attack.
Going on the defensive ultimately requires less effort.
Moreover, this defensive situation will last longer.
Although victory has been declared in the decisive battle on the Western Front, the main forces on the Western Front need to hoard resources and rest before they can regroup and launch an attack. They also have to defeat the enemies pouring westward from the Queen's Star Territory to the White Curtain Star Territory before they can enter the Imperial Star Territory. Join him in the female star field.
Before that, Gu Hang didn't think much about making any big moves on his own.
It's not necessary, the risk is too high.
After confirming that the entire Princess Star Region, and even the two star regions in the north, Le Fu and Jianmen, were hopeless, Gu Hang was no longer in a hurry. Just treat it as if you are a powerful enemy that has eaten three star fields and nearly two thousand worlds.
On this basis, Gu Hang even considered giving up some of the advanced base worlds that had already been captured and giving them to the Zerg. And as long as the Zerg invests a particularly large number of troops on the planet and their retreat is relatively smooth, they will drop a 'Sky-Burning Torpedo'.
Although there are not many reserves left, it should still be used at critical times, as long as the killing efficiency can reach the standard.
In addition, Gu Hang did not forget that he also had a secondary goal - to find traces of the Northern Front Army.
Gu Hang felt that it would not be so easy for them to die. They were a force no worse in size than the Western Front Army. Even if it falls into the most desperate situation, it won't be all gone in less than a year.
Even if it is the worst situation, it can still leave some traces, right?
Even if you die, you must understand better.
To this end, Gu Hang often dispatched detachments, driving small fast shuttle ships, to explore, search, and scan areas outside the battlefield.
It really paid off.
Four systems away from his current world, which had attracted zerg attacks, an Alliance exploration team discovered an unusual gathering of zerg swarms. On this planet, a battle broke out and there were signals from human warships.
Didn't get through, but it's exciting information.
Gu Hang quickly conveyed a new order to them: make another trip to confirm whether it was the remnants of the Northern Front Army, contact the other party as much as possible, and tell them to hold on, the alliance has arrived.
