Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1463: Chapter 831: Accompany Me to Starfire

“Lord Taishi, we couldn’t find Sifleg, he’s already fled.”

Hearing the report, the Battle Group Leader of the Dragon King’s Spear Chapter, Tai Shichen, turned around, slightly surprised.

Beside him, his Fourth Company Leader, Ricardo Lazio, crossed his arms and said, “That traitor sure ran fast.”

Tai Shichen waved his hand, saying, “Without a trial, it’s hard to say he’s a traitor.”

“What’s wrong with calling him a traitor when he fails to show up after being summoned? Moreover, he actively spread the Void Parasite into the remaining Empire World, directly causing the death of billions across multiple worlds!”

Upon hearing this, Tai Shichen nodded slightly, “He’s not wrong in saying that. Issue an order across the entire domain: in the name of the Dark Side Expeditionary Command, strip Sifleg of his title as Judge, and put out a red alert for him throughout Empire territory. He’s at least guilty of defying military orders and must be brought back for trial by the military court. Anber Long, you handle this matter.”

The one referred to as Anber Long was the person who came to report Sifleg’s escape.

He came from the Military Intelligence Division of the Alliance military, and before the main forces of the Alliance’s Western Expedition Army entered the Forward Cosmic Domain, he had already arrived.

His mission was to gather as much military intelligence as possible, contact local forces, and gain their support for the Alliance before the full-scale recovery operation in the Forward Cosmic Domain began. Ideally, when the Dark Side Expedition arrives, they will offer no resistance and peacefully submit to the Dark Side Control Committee.

Even if there isn’t widespread submission, it’s crucial to clarify the attitudes and tendencies of many local forces. Identify the staunch opposition that must be decisively subjugated; the fence-sitters who will naturally switch sides once the opposition is defeated; the friendly factions that can smoothly take over planets with a little support; and the places under severe influence of Chaos or Aliens that require full assistance…

This intelligence must be gathered as thoroughly as possible before the Dark Side Expedition officially hits the Forward Cosmic Domain to significantly reduce the difficulty of the expedition.

It was during his intelligence gathering that he realized the problem with Omgeria.

On one hand, he tried to develop connections among Sifleg’s subordinates to persuade him to abandon his ’smart’ idea, emphasizing that the Alliance was almost here, and even if the Green Skin Orcs spread out, the Alliance military would soon stop them. On the other hand, he quickly reported the situation, hoping the Alliance army would come over as soon as possible to solve the crisis here.

These two objectives had mixed results.

The intelligence he sent back even caught the attention of Gu Hang. Following Gu Hang’s orders, despite the Western Expedition Army not being fully prepared, a unit was dispatched ahead into the Forward Cosmic Domain to specifically address the battle in the Omegilia Star Realm.

And the Commander responsible for this task was none other than the Battle Group Leader of the Dragon King’s Spear Chapter, Tai Shichen.

The entire Dragon King’s Spear Chapter set out, accompanied by several army groups and the Alliance Fleet, into the Forward Cosmic Domain, arriving next to the Omegilia Star Realm in the Wangyue Star Domain.

Upon arrival, after clarifying the current situation in Omegilia, Tai Shichen realized that the forces at his disposal were insufficient to resolve the conflict here.

Whether it’s the Insect Swarm or the Beastmen, either side’s assembled army was beyond what his own troops could contend with. Now, recklessly entering Omegilia to participate in their chaotic battle would be suicidal.

Fortunately, the Dark Side Expeditionary Command as his superior didn’t issue him any particularly difficult orders.

After discussions with his company leaders, upper echelons of the Battle Group, and the navy and army commanders of the Expeditionary Force, they reached a consensus—around the Omegilia region, the current expeditionary forces could only assume a defensive stance. Controlling the internal issues of the star domain, preventing them from spilling over, would be the utmost effort, with no possibility for proactive attack.

To actively intervene in Omegilia, at least one-third of the total Western Expedition Army’s troops would be needed.

Yet strongly advised against doing so.

Such forces would barely allow a foothold inside Omegilia, turning a two-way battle into a three-sided melee. For humanity, if they can’t swiftly and thoroughly quell the alien threat within the star domain, rashly joining the melee is meaningless, only leading to needless casualties.

At this point, it’s best to gather over 70% of the Western Expedition Army’s forces and prepare for war, charging into the Omegilia Star Realm while delivering a fatal blow to both the Green Skin Orcs and the Insect Swarm. The key to victory lies in eliminating the surely existing Queen and Beastman Chieftain. Once that’s accomplished, a rapid offensive must follow to swiftly eradicate the aliens within the star domain and reduce their numbers as quickly as possible.

For the Green Skin Orcs, it’s crucial to prevent another Chieftain emerging from their internal power struggles.

For the Insect Swarm, it’s essential to prevent further Tentacle Fleet reinforcements from taking over the previous forces. Currently, the Insect Swarm gathered in Omegilia is excessively large, and there’s an abundance of food. Before consuming all of it, the Insect Nest’s hive mind sees great challenges but equally substantial sustenance here. Combined, the Insect Swarm is likely to dispatch more, larger Tentacle Fleets, continuously attacking this area.
