Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 772

Chapter 772: Chapter 429, Battle Moon Chapter 772: Chapter 429, Battle Moon After the Mechanical Sect Fleet had departed, Wu Jiarong herself was also aboard the Mechanical Ark, along with over a hundred other Dominant Bishops, listening to the pre-battle meeting convened by Founding General Chen Haixu and another seven Principal Sages.

The phrases spoken at the meeting such as “one’s fate is tied to the other’s” and “fighting the battle together” were nothing special.

However, after all, this was a high-level meeting, attended only by those of at least Dominant Bishop rank.

Later on, they did discuss some substantial matters.

Wu Jiarong was not excluded.

The Sect of Mechanics still maintained a poised and confident demeanor, even though Wu Jiarong was cultivated by the Alliance and had shown closeness to it; they still considered her one of their own.

The substantial information mainly consisted of two points:

First, was the price the Star Domain Government paid to persuade the Mingyang Sect to actively attack, and these costs were to be shared amongst the various Principal Sages, with the Dominant Bishops below them participating in the spoils.

Second, was news of reinforcements.

A Battle Group known as ‘Furyflame’ had responded to the Star Domain’s distress signal and was on its way.

The Fury Flame Battle Group was usually active within the Eastern Star Domain.

Although they faced some disapproval, with Imperial Army units that had fought alongside them often reporting that this Battle Group’s style of combat was overly bloody, cruel, and impetuous.

It was tolerable in battle, but afterwards they had a penchant for desecrating corpses, piling up enemy skulls, and holding unifying cremation ceremonies, praying “to offer enemy skulls to our Emperor.”

This image was somewhat too reminiscent of the behavior of certain heretics.

But they were loyal servants of the empire, always treating the enemies of the empire as their own enemies, and so much was tolerated.

Anyway, up to now, no one dared to trouble them, including the Tribunal.

However, their brutality and peculiar rituals may have raised doubts, but their combat prowess was undeniable.

A complete Battle Group with a thousand warriors, and having an entire Fleet exclusive to them.

It included nearly nine spearhead battleships at its core, forming a powerful Fleet of over a hundred warships.

There were no expendable small ships among them.

The flagship of the Fury Flame Battle Group was a combat landing ship.

These warships were almost exclusive to the Interstellar Warrior Battle Groups and in terms of size, they were even larger than the typical Imperial Battleships.

In addition, they had two Strike Cruisers and six Lunar-Class Cruisers.

The former could rival the Battleship Cruisers of the Imperial Navy, while the latter were the most common type of cruiser.

With their participation, along with the Yunluo Fleet and the Mechanical Sect’s Fleet, they were powerful enough to secure a victory over the Green Skins!

The Mechanical Sect Fleet and the Yunluo Fleet heading to Upper Plateau Star wasn’t to wage a decisive battle, but rather to use the Orbital Defense of Upper Plateau Star to hold the star system, drag out the enemy, and prevent the flames of war from reaching Jindi Star and Yunluo Star.

They just needed to hold on for a few months, and once the Fury Flame Battle Group arrived, victory in the war would be within reach!

This news had all the bishops inside the Mechanical Sect feeling exhilarated!

Hope for victory was near, and naturally, they were happy.

Wu Jiarong was no exception.

However, when she heard the name “Fury Flame Battle Group,” why did it seem familiar to her?

After a moment of recollection, she remembered the details of this Battle Group.

They had played a part in the “Great Cercis Flower Rebellion” back then.

The Iron Armor Battle Group also had allies, and there were three of them.

Among these was the one named “Fury Flame.”

Its parent group was once the Fifth Legion, now known as the Punisher Legion.

They were originally supposed to be stationed within the Spiderweb Domain and the Empress Starfield alongside the Iron Armor, but around fifty years ago, they had moved to the Eastern Cosmos Domain.

This did not mean that they had severed ties with Iron Armor; on the contrary, Iron Armor and other Star Domains under their rule, like Princess, were still providing them with resource support.

And as they advanced their operations in the Eastern Cosmos Domain, their prestige grew, and they began receiving support from several Star Domains there.

With Wu Jiarong’s political acumen, she could sense something particularly meaningful in Furyflame’s actions.

Moreover, she realized this situation could be very disadvantageous for the Alliance.

The Phoenix had a grudge against Furyflame, didn’t they?

After the meeting, Wu Jiarong thought it over and decided to pass this intelligence on to Gu Hang.

She had a Spiritual Energy coordinate left by Gu Hang that allowed for the transmission of brief messages.

The pieces of intelligence that the Mechanical Sect Fleet had set off for Upper Plateau Star to rendezvous with the Yunluo Fleet, and that the Fury Flame Battle Group was on its way, were all sent by her.

And soon, she received a reply.

“I know.”

…

Snow Eagle Star Sector, Frost Origin IV, planetary surface.

Titus stood on the highest building of the capital city of this civilized world, looking down below.

Encased in heavy armor, Titus appeared even more majestic and formidable than an ordinary Interstellar Warrior in Terminator armor.

His crimson eyes reflected a whole city blazing fiercely amid war.

Frost Origin IV was once a civilized world with a population of four billion.

It boasted vast plains used for farming, several developed urban agglomerations, decent industrial capacity, and lands for the Sect of Mechanics’ research and religion…

However, now, it had fallen into the hands of the Iron Tooth Orcs.

When Titus and his Fleet arrived at Frost Origin IV, the Human Fleet had already abandoned the world.

While the orc main Fleet had destroyed Frost Origin IV’s Orbital Defense system, Titus also personally led his Honor Guard Legion to the planet’s surface.
