Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1375: Chapter 783: May I Ask, Is the Empire Willing?

The Li Guang Star battle has begun.

The Li Guang Star battle has ended.

The entire duration lasted less than a month. Or to be precise, 26 standard Terra days.

The actual combat time in between was only 14 days. The rest of the time was spent on the troops already assembled, marching along the road.

The operation involved the two battle groups pointed out by Gu Hang, plus a part of the Alliance navy. They executed annihilation strikes against the ’traitor battle group’ Li Guang Sword, under the guise of being employed by the temporary government of the Eastern Cosmos Domain.

The battle group fleet of the two battle groups, plus the Alliance navy, comprised a total of eleven large warships of battleship cruiser level and above, which even included an Emperor-class battleship.

The overwhelming naval power took only five days to swiftly destroy the outer defense of Li Guang Star.

Afterward, the joint forces of Yellow Springs Seagull and Blood Shark descended to land on the exposed starport, where they engaged in a decisive battle with Li Guang Sword.

Li Guang Sword’s erroneous decision to not abandon the starport cost them dearly. Four companies stubbornly defended the starport, but after two days of fighting, over three hundred warriors of Li Guang Sword were slaughtered in the starport.

Blood Shark and Yellow Springs Seagull invested over six hundred troops, not only having a numerical and combat strength advantage but also possessing aircraft delivered by carriers and small warships to provide fire support at close range. After butchering these three hundred, Blood Shark and Yellow Springs Seagull sacrificed only thirty-odd, nearly achieving a 1-to-10 exchange.

After a bloody wave, Li Guang Sword learned quickly, opting for dispersed, guerrilla-style operations on the planet’s surface this time.

However, the Alliance’s Storm Mage Corps and the newly established Weaver Group of the Psychic Cultivator’s Association initiated a large-scale spiritual prophecy together. The think tank team of Li Guang Sword was completely suppressed.

Taking advantage of the enemy’s disorganization, the psychics deployed over a thousand Interstellar Warriors using spiritual energy teleportation.

Aircraft delivered by carriers assisted; battleships, battleship cruisers, and cruisers directly faced the planet’s anti-orbital firepower, temporarily entering the planetary orbit to conduct widespread bombing strikes on the ground.

Caught off guard, Li Guang Sword’s remaining five hundred warriors were swiftly eliminated under such comprehensive land-air-space strikes before they could implement their scattered guerrilla strategy.

The two Alliance battle groups sacrificed only sixty-odd warriors.

In total, less than a hundred casualties were suffered, and an entire Li Guang Sword battle group was destroyed.

There may still be thirty to fifty ’traitor’ Interstellar Warriors holding out stubbornly on Li Guang Star’s surface, relying on the support of the native population. However, their monastery, the planetary government, major nest capitals and cities, industrial bases, and food production areas were almost entirely occupied by the Eastern Cosmos Domain’s mercenary corps.

This contingent fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains, swamps, and islands can no longer impact the larger situation.

Blood Shark left a company responsible for clearing out the remnants, while the main force of Interstellar Warriors already withdrew.

The impact of this battle is immense.

Not to mention how it spreads outward, at least within the Eastern Cosmos Domain, the deterrent effect is extremely strong.

Originally, those planets that signed confirmation letters and acknowledged the proxy government of the Cosmos Domain unwillingly were all dumbfounded. The toughest bone was so quickly and utterly defeated, it was terrifying.

Even a Starfighter Battle Group defending with full force, recalling all troops, and stubbornly holding their home planet was beaten like this, then what could the ordinary planets do?

The Alliance doesn’t even need to mobilize extensively to easily destroy them head-on.

Moreover, inside their planets, there are countless supporters of the Alliance.

Just quickly bow your head and it’s over.

What shocked the most were the other three battle groups within the Eastern Cosmos Domain.

They are the sub-group of Saints Battle Group – Light Crown, sub-group of Blood Angel Corps – Devourer, and sub-group of Death Angel Battle Group – Oath of Remembrance.

Although these four battle groups belong to different parent groups and are often separated by two or three Star Domains, they exchange quite frequently within the same Cosmos Domain, especially at certain moments when the Space Domain Government can’t handle big issues and often seeks help from all four battle groups simultaneously. They even had experiences fighting side by side.

They understand Li Guang Sword’s combat capability, which is not a fragile battle group. Even as a sub-group of Infinite Corps, inheriting the traditions of Infinite Corps, Li Guang Sword’s operational status was the best among the four battle groups, always maintaining troops at peak status—it’s a full-strength group. Minus the hundred-person company lost on Wuji Star previously, the rest reassigned back to defense, it consisted of over eight hundred personnel.

Even this was swiftly annihilated.

And what about them?

Apart from Light Crown Battle Group not overly concerned about offspring issues due to relatively sufficient troops, the genetic seeds of Devourer and Oath of Remembrance, the sub-groups from different Angel Battle Groups, are relatively less stable.

Especially Devourer.

Their troops hover between five and six hundred people year-round.

Although they believe their individual combat strength is not weak, they don’t possess Li Guang Sword’s tight tactical organization. Truly fighting head-on, they are mostly not as strong as them.
