Chapter 867: Chapter 473, The Chieftain’s End
Gu Hang led a third of the Alliance Fleet and caused mayhem for three months within the four major Star Sectors occupied by the Green Skin Orcs.
Four Skyburn Torpedoes destroyed the four most prosperous worlds of the Green Skins, killing over thirty billion of them, and annihilated one of their most important industrial core Trash Cities.
For the Green Skins, this was an utterly heart-wrenching blow.
And undoubtedly, Gu Hang’s actions had a profoundly significant impact on the entire battlefield.
The Golden Pass Star Sector and Jiaoshou Star District were controlled, which severed the Green Skins’ direct southbound channels for troop and resource transportation. They were forced to take a long detour from the northernmost part of the Star Domain, extending the time by two to three times. Not to mention, during the Human Fleet’s advance, many of the Green Skins’ transport ships were blasted apart.
This pressure was immediately felt in the main war efforts on the frontline.
Originally, alongside the Fury Flame Battle Group, spanning several Star Sectors, a remarkable counterattack was fought on Eagle Cry Star within the Snow Eagle Star Sector. The flames of war had been reignited on Upper Plateau Star, and an unimaginable amount of resources were being fiercely contested to the death.
Now, with their lair pillaged and rear support cut off, the frontline battlefields faced immense problems.
On the main battlefield of the Snow Eagle Star Sector, the battles had become incredibly intense. The total forces committed by both sides exceeded a hundred billion, with over two thousand warships of various kinds chasing, pulling, and occasionally engaging in decisive skirmishes across several Star Systems.
In such intense battlefields, ingenious and fanciful tactical maneuvers, or even what seemed to be a gloriously decisive victory or significant defeat, had little impact on the overall war situation.
Last week, a great defeat incurred the loss of seventy million troops, but this week they could receive a reinforcement of fifty to sixty million and mount another large-scale campaign. Winning against the enemy also meant heavy losses…
Both sides were competing in their endurance, seeing who couldn’t bear the attrition, whose losses couldn’t be replenished. All tactical objectives served this purpose.
Unless they managed to annihilate both sides’ flagships, kill the leaders of the war, or destroy over a billion enemy forces in one fell swoop, the outcome of a single battle certainly mattered, but not as significantly.
And now, the reinforcements for the Green Skins suddenly stopped. Several campaigns in a row faced retreats due to the tardiness of reinforcements and supplies.
Titus was of course aware of Saru’s defeat and that his lair had been swept clean.
To be honest, this was an outcome he had completely not foreseen.
When he launched this earth-shattering waaagh, his target was directly aimed at the most central and prosperous places within this Star Domain—the Yunluo Sector and Steel Fire Dragon Star Sector.
These were his goals, and he never expected that the Eastern Front Battlefields, which he had never taken seriously from the start, would cause such a big problem.
He assumed that places like the Tianma Star Sector would be similar to the other regions of the Dragonhawk Star Domain. As long as he sent Fleet ships everywhere, scattering Green Skin children would solve the issue.
At first, things did unfold as he predicted; the Eagle Horse Star Sector, Mist Horse Star District, like all the other invaded Star Sectors, put up little resistance and were turned upside down.
Then, the so-called Alliance struck him a heavy blow.
His invasion-ready Fleet was eradicated in one battle; during the Steel Wing Star campaign, his top general, the Lone Tooth Ghost, died along with billions of Green Skin youngsters across various places on the Eastern Front.
By then, he realized a powerful adversary had emerged on the Eastern Front.
And he did not underestimate it.
He sent his general, King Saru, giving him a Fleet, troops, and a high level of authority. Saru even enjoyed a share of the resources levied from the Green Skin lair.
He made it clear to Saru that he didn’t expect him to achieve any results on the Eastern Front but to just hold it and maintain a stalemate against the so-called Alliance “Shrimp”.
Saru heeded his command and indeed met his goals. Even though Saru had bothered him frequently in recent years, cutting away many reinforcements, he tolerated it all as long as the Eastern Front remained stable.
Saru held for two and a half years, and the Eastern Front was safe and sound.
Titus had already let his guard down.

But unexpectedly, Saru made a move that turned the world upside down.
Following the devastating defeat in the Temir campaign, the Alliance Army locked down the paths south from the Iron Tooth lair, forcing them to detour northward, which was already unbearable for Titus as all supplies slowed down.
Then, when the Alliance broke into his lair, even that slow supply was gone.
As one Green Skin core world after another was destroyed, how was he to continue?
Titus realized the overall situation had gone seriously awry.
Without the need for the annoying canned-shrimp to attack, he was already actively contracting his battle lines.
But those canned-shrimp seemed to have received some news, launching a full-scale offensive.
One side intended to retreat defensively, the other seized the chance to pursue and expand their victory. Naturally, the result was the Green Skin Orcs’ defense lines collapsing a thousand miles at a time.
