Chapter 424, don't expect to sit back and enjoy it!

It won't be too difficult to solve the problem of greenskin invasion on various planets in the Hippogriff Star Zone.

In fact, half of the planet is already under control. The Alliance army was on their way to Steelwing, so they dealt with it.

Half of the ones that weren't on the previous march route were to be done this time.

The ground forces that the Alliance has accumulated in the Hippogriff Star Zone, if you don't count the Steel Wings, will be about 35 million people. They will have to deal with the number of greenskins, which may be less than 30 million, and the help of several times more native defense forces.

In general, even if the Combined Fleet can't spare time to provide them with orbital fire support, there will still be no problem in eliminating the greenskins on the surface of those planets.

It is nothing more than the size and duration of the casualties.

As for why the Combined Fleet can't spare time to provide orbital fire support for ground operations in the Hippogriff Zone, it is, of course, because they have more and more important tasks.

First and foremost, you have to defend the Steelwing Galaxy.

This is a transportation hub, and they have to guard against the resurgence of the Greenskins. After all, no matter how badly the greenskinned fleet was hit, there were at least two hundred warships left. What's more, who knows how many orc ships and armies exist in the greenskin base camp behind the Jinguan Star Zone?

This place needs to be heavily guarded, and the 30 million Astral Army, as well as at least half of the ships of the Combined Fleet, have to stay here and can't leave.

In charge of this theater of operations is Major General Du Shiliang. The second co-commander will take on this task.

The other half of the Combined Fleet, under the leadership of Yelicia, the first joint commander, entered the Fog Horse Star Region with nearly 40 million alliance land forces.

Although the leaders of the Fog Horse Star Region have not signed the Seven Horse Entente until now, the governors of many planets have signed it.

Since people have signed it, they have to take care of it, which is the core relationship that can be established by the Seven Horse Agreement.

Among them, there is a key galaxy - Cuiquan I.

Judging from the star map, from the steel wing star to the north, to reach Cuiquan II, and further north, is Cuiquan I. The world itself is an ordinary mining world with a population of about 300 million people, but it is also a transportation artery.

It connects to the south with the Hippogriff Star Zone; To the east, it will pass from Xiyuan III to the hinterland of the Foggy Horse Star District; To the north, it is connected to the two worlds of the Tongguan Star Area in the Fallen Zone.

Its status is similar to that of the steel winged star in the Hippogriff zone.

Guarding Cuiquan I can basically stop the green skin from the direction of the Tongguan Star Area going south, and it can be used as a barrier in the Wuma Star Area to protect the safety of the rear.

The legion led by Yelicia, after entering Cuiquan II and laying down a million-strong army to solve the local greenskin problem, continued north and entered Cuiquan I.

Cuiquan I did not sign the Seven Horse Entente, not because they were unwilling to sign it, but because they couldn't.

The planetary governor of Cuiquan I has no news about a month ago, and even the entire planet has no information to pass out.

It is currently suspected that the planet has basically lost its ability to resist on the ground. The people should not be dead, but I am afraid that there should be no formed army to confront the green-skinned orcs on the frontal battlefield, at most there are some guerrillas and resistance forces. Those who are still alive have probably survived in the underground tunnels of the city, the fortified fortresses, the depths of the mines, etc.

The governor of Cuiquan I is either dead, or they have lost control of the Star Whispering Tower, and there is no way to conduct interstellar communication, so naturally there will be no effective signals.

But despite the absence of the Seven Horse Entente, the Confederate forces came.

This is so important that the Seven Horses Pact has unilaterally announced that the planet will be included in the Covenant's protection.

As soon as Yelicia's fleet arrived in the target system, it quickly went into battle.

Without saying a word, the pioneers drove the greenskinned ships.

Within the system, they found about six or seven greenskinned ships. These ships, coming from the Tongguan Star Zone, should be pulling a boatload of green-skinned boys, as well as a large amount of arms and supplies. These ships are probably to replenish the greenskin invading forces in various parts of the Fog Horse Star Zone, transporting troops and supplies.

These fully loaded garbage boats couldn't run too fast, let alone have no combat effectiveness to speak of, so they were directly packed up.

Immediately afterward, the Combined Fleet began to bombard the surface of Cuiquan I indiscriminately.

Destroying the greenskins on the ground is one thing, and on the other hand, it's also about showing the possible resistance on the surface that your Savior is coming.

Fifteen million coalition landings, with a large number of landing craft, have set up three large landing fields and deployed their troops in what can be considered safe places that have been bombarded in orbit.

On the one hand, they are fighting against the greenskins on the surface, which is estimated to be about 10 million in size, and on the other hand, they are also trying to search for survivors on the planet.

The situation on the ground was almost consistent with their earlier judgment, more than 300 million people, scattered throughout the planet, or under the complex environment of various mines, mining areas, and smelting plants, they would not be so easily killed.

There are thousands of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in this universe, but the race with the largest number of people in the material universe and the largest number of planets is undoubtedly human beings. With such a huge population and such a vast empire, it is definitely not a phone bill.

Never underestimate the resilience of the human population.

The Alliance's search for the survivors wasn't because they needed local forces to help fight the Greenskins, there was no need for that. The local troops have been defeated and unorganized, and there is only a group of rebels left, and the weapons are all hand-rubbed, which is dead to fight guerrilla warfare, and frontal combat really can't help much.

Survivors who are searched for will be protected in areas controlled by the Alliance Army, helping the Alliance soldiers with some logistical transportation and fortification construction. By the way, they will also be organized and restore some production capacity.

Cuiquan I's original pillar industry, mining and smelting, is not in a hurry to recover. Mainly, there are some remnants of soilless cultivation and three-dimensional farms, which need to be reused.

If the logistical supply of the alliance army is all dependent on interstellar transportation, the pressure is still a bit great. If the army alone, it's all fine, but the key is that you need to manage a large number of local civilians, and the pressure will be even greater.

We still have to find a way to reactivate the few plantation factories that are occupied by greenskins.

It is not necessary that all food supplies can be solved locally from the planet, and if you can solve a little, you can relieve some of the pressure.

In view of the importance of Cuiquan I, Yelicia also specially left nearly half of the naval force in her hands to garrison the orbit of Cuiquan I.

This ensured that the battle of Cuiquan I was foolproof.

Then, Yelicia did not wait for the battle of Cuiquan I to be completely finished, and followed the star map to divide her troops to the east and west.

On the west side, there was only a small group of people going to Cuiquan III. Cuiquan III is an isolated world, and there is nothing special in itself, and it is not important, just to recover it by the way.

And the main force she led went all the way to the east, to Xiyuan III, all the way to the hinterland of the foggy horse.

The destination of their trip was Fog Horse I and Shangyuan Star. These two places are the capital of the Star Sector, and the only way to the Pegasus Star Zone.

In addition to her military objectives, Elisia also had the political task of bringing the entire Fog Horse Sector under the framework of the Seven Horse Entente.

She brought Gu Hang's words to every planet of the Fog Horse, and even to the Star District Government of the Fog Horse:

"When we are fighting bloody battles at the front, the Alliance will not allow any world to sit back and enjoy the benefits of the rear. Every governor, head, and government who is unable to shoulder their responsibilities and fight alongside the alliance is suspected of serious dereliction of duty and betrayal of the Empire. The Alliance, due to the powers granted by the Seven Horse Entente and the Star Domain government, will not tolerate this kind of behavior! ”
