Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 1495 - 847: Window of Opportunity (Part 2)

Chapter 1495: Chapter 847: Window of Opportunity (Part 2)

However, with the Bone Shattering King personally overseeing the battle, the Green Skin Orcs of Omgeria are different from others. Their organization and discipline are significantly above average and won’t collapse so easily. Moreover, as long as other Military Governors, warlords, and commanders are brought over in time, they can quickly take control of the troops. Even if it comes to the worst, promoting someone on the battlefield, or even a chosen lad emerging from the bloodbath to become a leader, isn’t impossible.

If the warlord wins and the Insect Nest Tyrant dies, then, as a high-level nodal creature, it would cause the insect swarm in the region to lose command, turning them into mindless bugs. However, due to the Orcs’ inherently aggressive nature, they find it challenging to seize this kind of opportunity. They often charge into close combat even when the swarm is incapacitated, and even without leadership, the swarm still retains its instincts to fight and devour. Any delay may give time for nodal creatures from other places to arrive and take over the troops.

Nevertheless, both sides are pushing their organizational and dispatch capabilities to the limit.

Every day, in the Ancache Star Sector, an enormous amount of deaths occur.

Gu Hang could even sense the tremors in the subspace of this area.

There were faint and chilling gazes looking this way.

A certain Evil God, symbolizing war and destruction, watched with interest for a while. Unfortunately, neither side of the battle was to His liking, and soon He shifted His gaze away.

This tyrant favored blood, skulls, slaughter, and the violence, valor, and honor beneath these appearances. Yet the insect swarm, being a group of mindless biological weapons, had none of these traits, existing purely to ’consume’, which couldn’t entertain the tyrant.

Orcs, on the other hand, somewhat matched His preferences, but the Green Skin Orcs fought simply for the sake of fighting, enjoying the thrill of combat, with other emotions being rather weak. They weren’t the tyrant’s choice either.

Other entities, for various reasons, also withdrew their attention.

Gu Hang quietly wiped away his cold sweat.

When he sensed those powerful gazes, he was indeed worried. If any of them, or even a few of them, took an interest in the battlefield of Omgeria, this already chaotic war would become even more chaotic.

At that time, no one could predict how the situation would unfold.

Fortunately, their gazes moved away.

But Gu Hang didn’t dare to be too careless.

On one hand, no one knows if their attention truly shifted. Especially since among them there’s one most capricious entity, a lapse in focus might lead to some conspiracy being born here.

On the other hand, besides those four unmentionable entities, Gu Hang also sensed some other watches.

These also needed to be wary of.

The waagh energy field of the Orcs has its roots. There are reasons why Green Skins are difficult to corrupt by Chaos.

Though seemingly unreliable, they do have their own deities.

The insect swarm, moreover, has a supreme collective will.

However, upon second thought, Gu Hang realized he too had ’people’ behind him.

If it truly came to the worst scenario, that being probably wouldn’t stand idly by.

Besides, considering those distant, high, and mysterious things wouldn’t hinder the current battle.

If they have the guts, they should come down here for a showdown.

Perhaps Gu Hang himself doesn’t have the power to confront them directly, but on the battlefield in the real universe, it’s a different matter.

They’ll eventually meet on the battlefield.

Thinking and guarding between these, the window of opportunity Gu Hang awaited suddenly arrived.

…

The holographic star map suddenly flickered violently. Dozens of reconnaissance nodes simultaneously reported alarms – the main force of the insect swarm on Ancache VIII in the Ancache Star Sector began a large-scale spore pod deployment, with the biomass concentration instantly breaking the critical threshold.

This so-called critical threshold was set by Gu Hang and experts on the Insect Race, along with staff from the Command Center. They previously judged that reaching this index would mean that the Queen was going all out.

Not that it wasn’t desperate before, but this time, it’s truly putting everything on the line.

It was normal for the Queen to make such a decision.

They were already at a disadvantage, and continuing to fight like this, the recovery of biomass could never match the consumption, only weakening them further. If they could retreat, they might have chosen to do so already. But unfortunately, human forces block the perimeter, leaving them no escape.

If they were to forcefully retreat from the cosmic void through conventional navigation, not only would they lose the entire harvest of this war, but the Tentacle Fleet, which invested so much, would also suffer a severe blow.

Also, there’s no guarantee they could escape. The Orcs might pursue, and after losing most of their strength, being pursued again could likely lead to total annihilation.

Since fleeing equates to death, after calculating all probabilities, they decided to attack with all remaining strength while there’s still energy left, which is understandable.

And their chosen target, Ancache VIII, was precisely where the Bone Shattering King was.

Humans didn’t possess this intelligence, but the insect swarm’s choice surely had its reason, and Gu Hang surmised that Bone Shards was there.

He hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether to wait and see whether the insect swarm could really drive out the Bone Shattering King and see how their decisive battle within the decisive battle would unfold.

But this hesitation was quickly cast aside.

The massive army of the Alliance was still outside the Ancache Star Sector. It would take time to set up, to break free from the intense battlefields within the Ancache Star Sector, and to enter Ancache VIII system also required time.

If they wait, the news might be confirmed, but the most critical battles’ greatest determining factors could very well be in the life-and-death outcomes of the Bone Shattering King, the swarm leader, and the Queen. The battle might drag on endlessly, but the qualitative change often happens in an instant.

If they’re late, the opportunity window is fleeting.

He decided to act.

“Initiate response plan.” His voice automatically switched the interface on twelve tactical screens, “Order the third and seventh fleet clusters to retract towards the Bimei Star Zone, let the marked 0117 Green Skin support fleet enter the pocket area and eliminate them to minimize unexpected factors. After that, break through Bimei and enter Ancache.”

Finishing, he turned to look at the dark universe outside the porthole, two Queen of Glory ships were starting up.

“Notify all Battle Group Leaders, start the 24-hour countdown for the major offensive. I want the Bone Shattering King’s head hanging on the flagship mast, and the Queen’s neuron core must be completely sealed.”

The tactical star map suddenly burst into a blinding flash, activating seven main attack routes, thirty-nine secondary breakthrough points, and one hundred twenty-seven interception positions simultaneously.

Gu Hang could feel the boiling battle intent of his massive army.

Billions of elite soldiers, tens of thousands of Interstellar Warriors, countless war machines, and fleets resonated with each other, even forming observable subspace echoes.

Humans, a species so delicious that many existences in subspace fancy, gathering such commotion could mesmerize certain entities.

Especially such a massive human army cluster capable of even contending with Green Skins and the insect swarm, it was even more so.

But Gu Hang didn’t want to think too much about it.

In the Storm God Kingdom, as lightning flashed and thunder roared, he had prepared thoroughly.

Death and pain momentarily, overly concentrated, might even trigger subspace rifts, especially against the backdrop of post-cataclysm, where the reality curtain has become more unstable, increasing the risk.

It’s foreseeable if there are too many deaths in the upcoming unprecedentedly fierce battlefield, and the subspace echoes become too intense, during the battle, a subspace rift might open up, releasing a vast Chaos Demon army, turning the already chaotic three-way battle into a chaotic melee of four or five or even more factions.

But Gu Hang will do everything possible to prevent this from happening.

If there’s truly a being with such a huge appetite, Gu Hang is determined to cut off any tentacle it extends.

With the bowstring drawn, it’s impossible to cancel what might be the most crucial battle since the beginning of the Dark Side Expedition due to fear of matters in subspace.
