Chapter 582: The Flame of Fury is Destroyed
The two war groups staying in the Fantasy Moon Galaxy were in a state of constant fear.

They know very well that no matter what the alliance's next move is, they will be the first to be dealt with.

Whether they are strong or not, they can be destroyed quickly; whether they are weak or not, including Alfonzo's battlecruiser that escaped here, they also have three huge ships, nearly 2,000 Space Marines, and their fleet is also filled with mortal auxiliaries and the Princess Legion, which may have a total of millions of troops. These can be regarded as equivalent to the level of the Astra Militarum.

Theoretically, this is a force capable of conquering an entire star region.

If we don't deal with them, the backyard will catch fire at any time.

In panic, the former ruling class on Huanyue Star began to have some ideas.

They found someone and conducted some probing with the two regiments, hoping to "discuss" the possibility of surrender... no, to "set things right".

We are all human beings, not aliens;
They all believe in the Emperor, and it is not heresy;
It's just that because the ambitious Humphrey Paul fooled everyone into thinking that all the people on Holy Terra were bad guys, they followed suit and pursued independence.

Recognize Humphrey Paul as a traitor, re-recognize Holy Terra, and recognize the dominance of the Alliance...

In this way, can we return to the empire?
Of course, it’s impossible without paying a price.

The price of betrayal must always be paid.

However, no matter how high the price is, can it be high enough to justify fighting a war with the Alliance with little chance of winning, and then being liquidated by the Alliance after paying huge sacrifices and casualties?

If that were the case, every member of the ruling class on Huanyue Star might not be able to stay in their current position. Even less people would survive.

They want to surrender, and they will accept even unconditional surrender.

But they obviously cannot make the decision on this matter and must discuss it with Adler Paulitos.

After Fury and New World Torch came to this world, all the military forces of this planet were taken over by them.

This is as it should be.

In other words, the military strength of Huanyue Star itself, the local defense force of less than 100 million people, can be saved for the time being. The value of Huanyue Star itself lies in its relatively complete planetary defense system. Not to mention how strong it is, it is already good enough to have everything it should have.

In comparison, the most reliable are the two regiments themselves, as well as the troops and fleets they bring.

If these local dignitaries want to surrender, I have no say.

The Space Marines must be persuaded.

The result of this persuasion was that Paulitus killed them all.

After realizing that these Moon People were unreliable, Paulitos launched a purge.

Clean out the upper level, promote some of the middle level, and then draw trustworthy people from the Princess Army and the regiment's auxiliary forces to fill in key positions.

Backed by powerful military force and the aftermath of the Great Purge, they were able to firmly grasp the entire world in their hands.

Anyway, he doesn't need to consider long-term governance issues, just strong short-term control is enough.

Then, he withdrew a large number of land combat troops from star ports, star fortresses, and ships to the surface.

After unloading the land forces, the lightened Fury Fleet left the orbit of the Fantasy Moon Galaxy and sailed into deep space.

They will not leave this galaxy, but the void of a galaxy is very huge. They hide and support from the outside when the alliance attacks Huanyue. When the alliance tries to chase, they run away...

Although there would be great risks involved, for example, the Retribution-class battleship does not have the mobility to perform such an operation.

It won't move out at will.

One by one, fast destroyers and cruisers will take on this task - harassing the Alliance's attacking fleet. And as long as the Alliance ships have a tendency to turn around to deal with them, these small speedboats will run away.

If they didn't pursue, they would just turn around and continue harassing. If they did, how would the scattered Fury Flame ships chase them? As long as they were separated, they would always have to worry about the enemy's presence of a battlecruiser, a battle barge, or a battleship. They could come out of the void at any time and strike at the Alliance ships that rashly acted alone.

Of course, all of this sounds good, but in reality, it is all done out of helplessness.

To put it bluntly, Paulitos has recognized the situation.

He couldn't escape, and normal defense was hopeless. Although it was difficult for the alliance to draw out all its strength to deal with him at once, as long as they waited for a few months for the alliance to repair their ship, combined with Gu Hang's exaggerated and incredible psychic power, and the powerful combat power displayed by the Phoenix and the Blood Shark... Even if Huanyue had a complete orbital defense system, it would be impossible to defend it.

He actually thought about surrendering.

Just as the local dignitaries on Huanyue thought, the two sides were not in a completely life-and-death relationship. They were not aliens, nor had they fallen into Chaos.

However, after careful consideration, Paulitos abandoned the idea.

It's not for any other reason. If he can save the regiment, he is willing to give everything and do anything.

But he believed that surrender would not save his chapter.

He could swear that if he surrendered, he would never be an enemy of the Alliance in the future.

However, he didn't dare to believe any promises the league made to him.

The hatred between the two sides is too great and too much, and it is mutual.

Fury had killed the Phoenix before, and had fought against the Alliance in Dragonhawk; the Alliance and the Phoenix had also beaten Fury violently. The previous Chapter Master, Erso, was loved by his battle brothers, but died at the hands of the Phoenix...

Paulitus could only guarantee that he was rational and could swallow all the humiliation, but he could not guarantee that everyone in the regiment thought so. Once they surrendered, if there was one angry person who could not swallow this breath and did something, it would easily give the Alliance a reason to start a massacre.

If we put ourselves in their shoes, the Alliance would not trust Nuyan completely just because Nuyan surrendered. At that time, would they send them to fight a crucial battle? How could they dare to do that? What if they turned against us again?
If Paulitus were in Gu Hang's position, he felt that he would accept all of Nuyan's surrender conditions, then imprison all the members of the regiment and execute them in secret.

Because of this, he did not dare to surrender.

He was determined to hold out on the surface, and even in excavated bunkers and very deep tunnels.

All he could see was darkness and no future.

But even so, we must persevere in this darkness, even if the final result will not make any difference.

……

As Paulitos expected, the alliance's attack on Huanyue began soon.

The only ones participating in the battle were the Zhuge-class aircraft carrier, three battlecruisers, and the Blood Shark Fleet.

The other ships were all repaired.

There are not many boats, but the most important one, Gu Hang, is here.

All the preparations and efforts made by Fury were destroyed in a short period of time. First, the outer defense system of the planet was attacked. The Fury fleet that escaped first sent out some small ships to carry out harassment according to the arrangement.

The alliance decisively pursued.

The Fury Fleet scattered and fled, and the Alliance also scattered to chase.

The three giant warships of the Hope Alliance, which had been hiding in the dark and were afraid of taking any action, are now in trouble.

You don't play by the rules!

If they don't show up, they will just have to sit back and watch the Alliance capture all the small and medium-sized ships that attack.

Although these ships are not that valuable, if they come two or three times, the fleet will be depleted.

But if they show up... the Alliance knows they have big ships, and they still dare to disperse and pursue them. They must be prepared, right?
After some discussion, they finally showed up.

Three huge ships appeared at the same time, blocking the face of an Alliance battlecruiser, the Ronglin.

This was a good opportunity, but the three large ships were still very cautious. They did not rush up rashly when they saw that the enemy was small in number, but chose to meet their own ships from a distance, with the original intention of forcing the Ronglin away.

But even with all their caution, they still ran into problems.

The Ronglin is not afraid at all.

It did not continue to chase the small boats, but it did not run away either. Instead, it relied on the speed and flexibility of a battlecruiser to cruise at the edge of the fire threat range.

It was obvious that they were going to follow, chase, and keep an eye on them to prevent them from escaping, until other ships came over to join them, and then together they would destroy this group of the only traitor naval forces left outside.

The Raging Flame Fleet was forced into a corner and had to go all out and advance towards the Rong Lin in order to destroy or drive it away.

The Ronglin began to escape.

The tug of war between the two sides began.

When the distance between the two sides reached a certain extent, making it difficult for the battleship "Wings of Spark" to catch up in a short time, the Ronglin suddenly attacked.

It turned around and opened fire fiercely at the ship that originally belonged to the Alfonzo sect.

At the same time, the ship's void shield suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, another Raging Flame flagship, the 'Triumphal Fire', went silent.

There is no doubt that it was Gu Hang and the Phoenixes who took action.

The only two hundred remaining rage warriors in the Triumphal Fire were powerless to stop it. The think tanks could not stop Gu Hang from tearing the void shield, but were shot in the head by Gu Hang instead; the Space Marines could not defeat the Phoenix either, the Phoenixes that were teleported in were only three hundred people, although the number was only 50% more, but the quality of the individual soldiers was much stronger; there were not many auxiliary soldiers left on the ship, and compared with the endless and fearless heroic spirits, they were no match...

When the battleship Wings of Spark finally arrived at the battlefield after rushing, the hull of Alfonzo's only remaining battlecruiser was already covered in flames, and it was obviously seriously damaged; the firepower from the Triumph Fire battle barge had become very weak, which meant that the Alliance had already gained the upper hand in the battle on the ship.

In this situation, Spark Wing did not retreat. It also knew that it could not escape due to its short legs, so it had to fight to the death.

Its attack is effective.

The Ronglin was hit off course during the charge.

Previously, the Alfonzo battlecruiser's counterattack and the Triumphant Flame's attack before its firepower system was completely destroyed had both hit the target. The Rong Lin's void shield had been hit to the point of turning red.

The situation was indeed very dangerous when the battleship entered the battlefield after a long delay. Multiple cannons were fired at the Ronglin. First, three Doomsday Light Spears directly hit the Void Shield from red to red, which was a sign of overload; then an X-level "Heavenly Punishment" Light Spear Array directly broke the shield and melted a hole in the armor of the Ronglin.

The gap in frontal combat capabilities between battlecruisers and battleships was clearly evident at this moment.

Then, many shells were dodged and intercepted by the Ronglin in an emergency maneuver. However, there was still an X-class macro cannon that hit the stern fiercely.

The armor didn't hold up, the hull was badly damaged, the entire ship was shaking, and it was even difficult to maintain a maneuverable posture for a while.

However, just as the 'Wings of Spark' was about to make another effort to directly destroy the Alliance ship, it was suddenly hit by a shot on the side.

That was a blow from 'Fire of Triumph'.

The captain of Spark Wing was quite surprised.

He doesn't understand, why is this happening?

Everyone knows now that Phoenix is ​​too powerful to be defeated by Fury;

Being speedrun so quickly is a bit outrageous, but it is barely acceptable;

However, taking over a ship is not an easy task and requires a large number of crew members.

When you boarded the ship, did you bring your technical staff with you? And you were able to board so many ships and take over the warship before the battle was over?

I've never heard of such a thing in my life!
However, the captain of the Spark Wings soon remembered another thing: the Triumphant Flame was not an ordinary warship, it was a battle barge exclusively for Space Marines.

It has quite a few positions that can only be filled by Space Marines. They are connected to the black carapace through neural cords and can directly control many key parts of the ship, just like the Space Marines are neurally connected to their power armor.

This is an explanatory direction.

Although there are some details that I haven't figured out, for example, if they are also connected by the nervous system, isn't there a combination lock or genetic recognition?

In addition to the key positions played by the Space Marines, the remaining non-critical positions also require a large number of crew members. Where do they come from?

These questions have never been answered.

But the 'Wings of Spark' had already lost the best opportunity to destroy the Ronglin.

Many frigates have already caught up, and there is even a Moon-class frigate that is launching a fierce charge towards the "Wings of Spark".

On the one hand, these small and medium-sized ships intercepted the destroyers and cruisers that took the opportunity to attack the Ronglin. On the other hand, they also blocked the next two rounds of fire from the Spark Wings.

Although they sacrificed two Moon-class ships and more than ten Silver Shield and Silver Sword-class ships, the Ronglin was saved.

At the same time, they were also invaded.

Heroic spirits carrying lightning appeared from all over the ship; hundreds of phoenixes were teleported into their ships.

Soon, the 'Wings of Spark' also fell into the hands of the Alliance.

After all the outer fleets were lost, the countdown to Fury's demise had begun.
