Chapter 425, don't expect to sit back and enjoy the success!

Solving the greenskin invasion problem on various planets in the Hippogriff sector won't be difficult.

In fact, on half of the planet, the situation is already under control. The Alliance army was easily dealt with on their way to the Steel Wing Star.

The other half that were not on the previous march route are what we have to deal with this time.

The cumulative ground troops invested by the Alliance in the Hippogriff Sector, excluding the Steel Wing Stars, would be around 35 million. What they have to face is that the number of greenskins may be less than 30 million, and they also have the help of several times more Home Defense Forces.

In general, even if the combined fleet cannot find 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's nothing more than the size of the casualties and the length of time.

As for why the combined fleet cannot find time to provide orbital fire support for ground battles in the Hippogriff sector, it is of course because they have more and more important tasks.

The first thing is to guard the Steel Wing Galaxy.

This is a transportation hub, and they have to guard against the greenskin invasion from coming back. After all, no matter how hard the green-skinned fleet was hit, there would still be at least two hundred warships left. What's more, who knows how many orc ships and troops there are in the greenskin base camp behind the Jinguan Star Zone?

This place needs to be heavily guarded. Thirty million Astra Militarum troops and at least half of the ships of the combined fleet must be guarded here without being able to leave.

The other half of the combined fleet, led by Ye Lixia, the first combined commander, entered the Wuma sector with an alliance army of nearly 40 million.

The governor of Cuiquan I is either dead, or they have lost control of the Astropathic Tower, and there is no way to conduct interstellar communications, so naturally they cannot send any effective signals.

Cuiquan I did not sign the Seven Horse Agreement. This was not because they were unwilling to sign, but because they were unable to sign.

Although the heads of the Wuma Sector have not signed the Seven-Horse Agreement yet, the governors of many planets have signed it.

Since someone signed it, they have to take care of it. This is the core relationship for the establishment of the Seven Horse Agreement.

From the star map, you can go north from Steel Wing Star to Cuiquan II, and then go further north to Cuiquan I. The world itself is an ordinary mining world with a population of about 300 million, but it is also a transportation hub.

There was no news about the planetary governor of Cuiquan I about a month ago, and there was even no information sent out from the entire planet.

The legion led by Yelicia entered Cuiquan II and laid down a million-man army group to solve the local greenskin problem, and then continued northward and entered Cuiquan I.

Its status is similar to the Steel Wing Star in the Hippogriff Sector.

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

By guarding Cuiquan I, we can basically reject the greenskins heading south from the Tongguan star area, and it can also serve as a barrier for the Wuma star area to protect the safety of the rear.

But despite not signing the Seven Horse Pact, the Alliance troops came anyway.

To the south, it connects with the Eagle Horse Sector; to the east, it leads from Xiyuan III to the hinterland of the Wuma Star Sector; to the north, it connects to the two worlds of the Tongguan Star Sector in the occupied area.

It is currently suspected that the planet has basically lost its ground resistance. The people should not be dead, but I am afraid that there should be no organized 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 are probably hiding in the city's underground tunnels, strong fortresses, deep mines and other places to survive.

The person in charge of this war zone is Major General Du Shiliang. The second joint commander will shoulder this task.

This is too important. The Seven Horses Agreement has unilaterally announced that this planet will be included in the protection scope of the agreement.

After Yelicia's fleet arrived at the target galaxy, it quickly launched a battle.

Without saying a word, the pioneers chased the green ships. They found about six or seven greenskin ships in the system. These ships, coming from the Tongguan star area, should be pulling a boat of green boys and a large amount of arms and supplies. These ships are probably transporting soldiers and supplies to the greenskin invasion forces in various parts of the Wuma Sector.

These fully loaded garbage ships couldn't run very fast, and they had no combat effectiveness at all, so they were immediately packed up.

Immediately afterwards, the combined fleet began to bombard the surface of Cuiquan I indiscriminately.

On the one hand, it is to eliminate the green-skinned troops on the ground. On the other hand, it is also to show the possible resistance forces on the surface that your savior is here.

The 15 million Alliance Army, through a large number of landing craft, established three large landing sites and deployed troops in places that had been orbitally bombed and could be considered safe.

On the one hand, they are fighting against the green-skinned army on the surface, which is estimated to number in the tens of millions. On the other hand, they are also working hard to search for survivors on the planet.

The situation on the ground is almost consistent with their earlier judgment. There are more than 300 million people scattered across the entire planet, and they are still in the complex environment of various mines, mining areas, and smelting plants. They will not be killed so easily.

There are thousands of monsters, demons, and gods in this universe, but the group that is the most numerous in the material universe and occupies the largest number of planets is undoubtedly human beings. Such a huge population and such a vast empire area are definitely not given away for free.

Never underestimate the resilience of the human species.

The alliance army searched for those survivors not because they needed local forces to help fight against the greenskins. There was no need for that. The local troops have been defeated and have no structure, leaving only a group of rebels with weapons made by their own hands. They are fighting guerrilla warfare to the death. Frontal fighting really doesn't help much.

The survivors being searched will be protected in areas controlled by the Alliance Army and help Alliance soldiers handle some logistics and transportation and build fortifications. By the way, they will also be organized to restore some production capacity.

Cuiquan I's original pillar industries—mining and smelting—are in no rush to recover. Mainly, some relics of soilless cultivation and three-dimensional farms need to be reused.

If the alliance army's logistical supplies relied entirely on interstellar transportation, the pressure would still be a bit high. If it were just the army, that would be okay. The key is that a large number of local civilians need to be managed, and the pressure will be even greater.

We still have to find a way to reactivate the few planting factories occupied by the green skins.

It is not required that all food supplies can be provided locally on the planet. If a small amount can be provided, some pressure can be relieved.

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

This ensures that Cuiquan I's battle is foolproof.

Then, before the battle in Cuiquan I was completely over, Yelicia followed the star map and divided her troops to the east and west sides.

There is only a small group going to Cuiquan III on the west side. Cuiquan III is an isolated world, and there is nothing special about it. It is not important. It is just a way to recover it.

The main force led by her went all the way east to Xiyuan III, heading all the way to the hinterland of Wuma.

The destinations of their trip were Wu Ma I and Shangyuan Star. These two places are respectively the capital of the star sector and the only way to the Pegasus star sector.

In addition to military purposes, Yelicia also shoulders the political task of requiring the entire Wuma sector to be brought under the framework of the Seven Horses Agreement.

She brought Gu Hang's words to every Wuma planet, and even to Wuma's star district government:

"While we are fighting bloody battles on the front, the Alliance will not allow any world to sit back and enjoy the gains. Every governor, leader, and government who cannot shoulder their responsibilities and fight side by side with the Alliance has committed serious malfeasance and betrayed the empire. Suspicion. Due to the power granted by the Seven Horses Agreement and the Star Territory Government, the Alliance will not tolerate this behavior!"
