Chapter 668, Recorded in War History

It was several weeks later that Gu Hang received the war report from Wanzhou Star.

There is no way. Information communication is so difficult when you are inside the Princess Star Region which is completely shrouded in the shadow of the vast subspace.

After reading the contents, he was still quite emotional about the battle of Wanzhou Star.

According to statistics afterwards, there were more than ten thousand Space Marines participating in the battle from both sides.

The Empire has 700 Ortopis, 900 Phoenix, 600 Blood Shark, and 600 Spear of the Dragon King, which makes a total of .

The remaining soldiers were scattered in other battlefields and not all came.

In addition, there were several hundred Space Marines who were left behind by the original Western Front Legion led by Phoenix. When the new Western Front Legion was formed, seven chapters sent more than a thousand people.

In this battle, these "miscellaneous groups" also gathered 800 people.

In total, at least 3600 Imperial Space Marines appeared on this single battlefield.

On the Iron Armor side, the number was much greater. Not only were there 6000 Iron Armor warriors assembled, but there were also 2000 Rock Shield warriors.

As the "Stone" of "Iron Fury Stone", their relationship with Iron Armor is even closer than that of Fury Flame. After the Iron Armor Rebellion broke out, they have been fighting beside Iron Armor. Naturally, their entire regiment did not escape the fate of deep infection. Their regiment leader was actually on this battlefield, but he did not participate in the battle between Salilius and Humphrey Paul.

If Humphrey Paul knew that he was under a fatal threat, he would definitely call for Captain Rock. Although that guy's strength level may be even weaker than Martins, he is still a great help.

However, Humphrey Paul probably thought that he had already won against Salilius, so he left Captain Rock to destroy the Knights and Titans of the Alliance; when Martins suddenly arrived for support, he immediately called for Captain Rock and even several other champion-level warriors of the regiment to come, but it was too late. When Martins arrived, the situation changed too quickly, and Humphrey Paul died before he could wait for support.

Once Paul dies, no matter how many masters are left or how strong they are, it will be meaningless.

The epic battle came to an abrupt end when Humphrey Paul died, as if the story was suddenly interrupted at its climax.

But no matter what, it cannot be denied that this battle, in which both sides participated in more than 10,000 Space Marines and hundreds of Titans each, totaling nearly a thousand, will probably leave a heavy mark in the war history of the entire empire.

Moreover, the separatism of the Space Marines, the most serious chapter civil war in the last ten thousand years, the infection of the Space Marine Captain by the pest which led to the chapter rebellion, the technology of attempting to cultivate and control the Queen of the Zerg... these factors will probably remain in the historical records of the Empire and will have a profound impact on many things in the future of the Empire.

For example, what Gu Hang was most worried about was that Tie Kai's rebellion had aroused the central government's vigilance against local forces with separatist tendencies.

To put it bluntly, it's him.

However, in any case, that is something that needs to be considered in the future.

For now, we still have to fight the battle well.

Following Gu Hang into the Princess Star Domain, the troops that broke into the shadow of the subspace, in terms of space warriors, were not as many as those on the Western Front.

On the Western Front, the Empire had more than 3,000 men under Salisius, plus the 3,000 brought by Martins, a total of 6,000.

Without this amount of troops, it would be difficult to fight against Tiekai for so long.

Gu Hang had less than 3,000 people around him, including the New Fury Flame, the New New World Torch, and a Shadow Regiment.

The full complement should be 3,000 people, but many were sacrificed in the previous battle with the Alfonzo sect. Even if Gu Hang immediately selected people to fill in, and all the acceleration options and training options that should be exchanged were used, it still takes time to grow, so they were not fully filled.

The war was pressing and there was no time to wait any longer.

At this stage, Gu Hang clearly realized that the Western Front was the main battlefield and his side was secondary. The core task was to attract the attention of the Zerg and prevent the Zerg from sending more forces to harass during the decisive battle on the Western Front, causing the Empire to have to divide too many troops to defend the Western Front.

Gu Hang completed the task quite well.

In order to ensure the safety of his own troops, his legion almost completely stopped advancing, and instead used a planet selected as one of the forward bases as an anchor point to attract a large number of Zerg forces to attack.

Taking a defensive stance will ultimately save more effort.

Moreover, this defensive stance will continue for a longer period of time.

Although the decisive battle on the Western Front has been declared a victory, the main force on the Western Front must stockpile resources and rest before they can regroup and launch an attack. They also have to defeat the enemies rushing westward from the Princess Star Domain to the White Curtain Star Domain before they can enter the Princess Star Domain and join forces with them.

Before that, Gu Hang didn't consider doing anything big on his own.

There is no need, the risk is too high.

After confirming that the entire Huangnu Star Region, and even the two star regions of Lefo and Jianmen in the north, were beyond saving, Gu Hang was no longer in a hurry. Just treat it as a powerful enemy that has eaten three star regions and nearly two thousand worlds.

On this basis, Gu Hang even considered giving up some of the forward base worlds that had already been captured and giving them to the Zerg. As long as the Zerg invested a lot of troops on the planet and their retreat was relatively smooth, they would drop a "sky-burning torpedo".

Although the reserves are limited, they still need to be used at critical moments as long as the killing efficiency can meet the requirements.

In addition, Gu Hang did not forget that he had a secondary goal - to find traces of the Northern Front Legion.

Gu Hang felt that it would not be so easy for them to all die. They were a force that was no less large than the Western Front Army. Even if they were in the most desperate situation, they would not all be wiped out in less than a year.

Even if it is the worst situation, at least some traces can be left, right?

Even if you die, you should die with understanding.

To this end, Gu Hang also dispatched detachments, driving small fast shuttles, to explore, search and scan areas outside the battlefield.

There really was a result.

Four star systems away from the world that attracted the Zerg attack, an Alliance exploration team discovered an abnormal gathering of Zerg. On the planet, a battle broke out and there were signals from human warships.

I was not able to connect, but it was exciting news.

Gu Hang quickly conveyed a new order to them: make another trip to confirm whether it was the remnants of the Northern Front Legion, try to get in touch with the other side, and tell them to hold on, as the alliance has arrived.
