Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 232: Chapter 165, Naval Battle Settlement

```

When Gu Hang opened his eyes again, dozens of minutes had passed, and the battle at the crossroads had ended.

The soldier from the 3rd Independent Regiment, who had descended from the sky and used a thermite bomb from who knows where to kill the Beastman Overlord, prompted Gu Hang to release the telekinetic control over Kuangya.

Instead, he employed Spiritual Energy to pull the priest, who was barely hanging on to life and unconscious, forcefully to the rear to prevent him from being affected by the thermite bomb blast.

At the same time, he also saw Matins, while retreating swiftly, did not forget to drag that heroic soldier back with him.

Next, he witnessed Kuangya melting from the chest up, where his armor had completely failed, and then the orc was burned through from the inside out.

Although many Green Skin Orcs were still alive on the battlefield when Kuangya died, their threat level dropped dramatically once their strongest leader was dead, which is characteristic of Green Skin Orcs. Without their leader, they began to disperse and fight on their own.

Moreover, Kuangya's influence on the Green Skin Orc assault group was immense; without him to withstand countless attacks and kill various infantry and armored units, the remaining Greens Skins, even the Murder Can and the Dread Iron Can, fell far behind in combat strength.

The armored personnel carriers began to advance slowly in the eight-meter-wide corridor, with the infantry orderly using them as cover and a firepower platform to attack the enemy. An infantry battalion that had flanked from the south side of the intersection caught the Green Skins, now in disarray and weakened in their will to fight, off guard.

The rocket launchers fired round after round, with the explosions' destructive power magnified in the narrow passage.

Moreover, even though Gu Hang himself could no longer maintain his combat strength due to the overload of Spiritual Energy, and Priest Rizzo was in the same condition, there were still three starship warriors left. They turned into super soldiers on the battlefield, taking on a role similar to that previously played by Genie Kuangya.

Perhaps, even Matins, the nominal leader of the battle group, only had the prowess of a squad champion and was badly equipped, far from the strength of the Beastman Overlord. However, they had the advantage of being three men and, compared to the Green Skin Overlord, they were more calculated, rational, and very adept at coordinating with the Mortal Troops in combat.

They would not use their powered suits to directly withstand the enemy's fiercest firepower; they knew when to step in and help the infantry when they encountered difficult situations.

Overall, the battle was essentially over, and they had won the final victory.

Although the troops under Gu Hang's command also suffered tremendous casualties, it was still fine because they won.

Having witnessed this moment, he felt relieved enough to pass out.

The excessive use of Spiritual Energy had left him with a splitting headache.

However, he didn't faint for long. It was just for dozens of minutes, which didn't really affect anything significant.

Upon waking up again, he felt much better. Although still a little shaky and not daring to use Spiritual Energy, fearing it would make his head hurt more, he could at least move normally without any major problems.

At this moment, the battle was essentially over, and his soldiers were clearing the battlefield.

The Green Skins who hadn't completely died were finished off with a few gunshots or had their brains thoroughly scrambled with a bayonet thrust into their heads;

If they encountered their comrades-in-arms, the bodies were properly collected; for those blown too badly to even separate from each other's corpses, they could only bring back a head. If even the head couldn't be brought back, then there was nothing more to be done.

However, one thing was certain to be retrieved—the soldier's armband, which bore the number of the soldier's unit and their own soldier number.

Through this, one could identify the soldier's identity from the military administrative structure set up by Tadeusz.

All the soldiers who died bravely deserved to be remembered.

Then Gu Hang found the corpse of the Green Skin Overlord; he called Matins over and asked him for a favor: to sever the orc overlord's head.

The head hadn't been completely burned by the thermite bomb, which was good.

Carrying the head, he went to the starship's bridge command center, accompanied by two starship warriors.

As for the other two starship warriors... Rizzo had already been taken to receive treatment by another warrior.

...

Quintet's bridge command center.

Yelisia was still mostly focused on commanding the starship in battle. She had to constantly monitor the movements of enemy ships and keep an eye on the Quintet's overall condition.

However, during this process, part of her mind was always on the battle that had broken out inside the starship.

After the Navy Marine Corps assembled their main force in an attempt to stop the enemy's advance but ended up getting wiped out, a great panic had already enveloped her.

What she feared most was that in the midst of battle, her starship would explode from the inside.

Yelisia knew that Gu Hang's troops had the support of four starship warriors. Of course, she had high hopes for these Angels of The Emperor.

Yet, thinking rationally, could four starship warriors really win against a Beastman Overlord?

She dared not ponder too deeply on this question, fearing that the result would be too desperate to bear.
