Starting from the Planetary Governor-Chapter 1643 - 931: Emperor’s Sword

Gu Hang casually flipped through the war reports.

Every day in the entire universe, during the Dark Side Expedition, within the section handled by the Terra Expedition Alliance, countless wars are ongoing.

He also receives innumerable reports.

Among these many battles, the importance of the Papallier Campaign is the highest.

Or, in the past few years, the Papallier Campaign has also been the largest battle fought by the Alliance.

Although its duration was not long, starting from the appearance of the Calamity Fleet, it lasted less than a month. But the intensity was not low at all, and the enemy’s strength was considerable.

Because of this, after the final victory was secured, the results were quite glorious.

This was the first time the Alliance systematically destroyed a Calamity Fleet, and from the prisoners, it was learned that this fleet, among all the fleets, even if not the largest, was one of the largest. Its destruction was a heavy blow to the entire Chaos forces. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The Alliance’s main fleet also suffered certain losses in this process.

Although the opposing side lost their central command, resulting in chaotic leadership, they were still encircled and attacked. However, the quality of the opposing fleet was evident, and during desperate counterattacks, they could inflict certain damage. The Alliance Fleet suffered approximately three hundred losses, the Glory Queen Battleship required considerable maintenance and repairs to restore combat capabilities, and combined losses of six battleships and aircraft carriers, as well as six losses in battlecruisers.

This was also a considerable loss for the Southern Line Army. However, in general terms, while there was an impact on the expeditionary actions of the Southern Line Army, it was relatively limited. They were still able to continue their operations, but could not act too recklessly. If they encountered any significant, tough challenges, with the Glory Queen undergoing repairs and the main fleet not yet supplemented, they would have to proceed cautiously.

The time required for the Southern Line Army to restore overall combat power won’t be too long. A year or half a year of maintenance for the Glory Queen should suffice. Once the flagship is repaired, the Alliance’s new batch of warships should be ready to be dispatched to the Southern Line Army, restoring the main fleet’s size to the level before the Papallier Campaign.

Another point Gu Hang is very interested in regarding this battle is that this was the first campaign Martins participated in after undergoing transformation. Gu Hang was eager to see what kind of performance this Son of God he created would demonstrate, whether it would be worthy of his significant input in Subspace essence.

Indeed, it proved to be quite worthwhile.

From both aspects, the impressive campaign command capabilities and individual combat strength exhibited by Martins were outstanding.

Even to a level that surprised Gu Hang slightly.

He originally referred to what Martins embodied as the "Little Primordial Body," with the minimum baseline being capable of reaching the battle capabilities of the Bone Shattering King, which was barely considered qualified.

But the actual outcome exceeded the qualified line, reaching an excellent level.

Martins’ individual combat capability must have surpassed the Bone Shattering King.

As for whether he could reach the true level of a Son of God... Gu Hang felt it might still be a bit lacking.

After all, he has truly seen the capabilities of a genuine Son of God.

That, naturally, is Robert.

For the Empire, even for the Infinite Starfield, Robert’s place of awakening and home base, Robert summoned a Terra Expeditionary Army and led them into Subspace, becoming utterly silent from then on.

Only occasionally, every few months, Star Speakers on Super Sea Star received a few sparse words sent back across Subspace by the Expeditionary Force.

Only through this bit of evidence can it be confirmed that the Expeditionary Force that stepped into Subspace is still alive and striving towards Holy Terra.

This period has already been fourteen years.

If using the Star Realm Tunnel without interruption, from Infinite Starfield advancing toward Holy Terra, even at a slow pace, one and a half or a maximum of two years would suffice.

But Robert’s army began its Subspace journey to now, spanning fourteen years.

From this, it’s evident that Subspace travel is not only less safe and unstable, but its time efficiency is considerably inferior compared to using the Star Realm Tunnel.

Of course, if it were a normal Subspace journey, it wouldn’t take so many years.

Robert himself would have authority on the matter. Before he was dying and entered the Static Field, in the era when the Empire widely used Subspace navigation technology, he embarked on countless journeys from Super Sea Star to Holy Terra. The time spent ranged between two to four years, certainly not fourteen years.

The reason for such a lengthy duration is evidently due to his troubled navigation.

Others may not see it, but Gu Hang, through his true offspring on board, can see it clearly.

In the past century after the Great Cataclysm, Subspace has been constantly turbulent, further complicating and making Subspace travel more perilous.

Moreover, the Empire’s only living Son of God, his emergence attracted countless gazes.

Numerous Subspace Demons, itching to find him. If they could kill this Son of God and present a grand gift to their respective Evil God, it would immeasurably please the divine beings, elevating them to Divine Masters!

However, pinpointing ships in Subspace is no easy task.

Subspace is vast and boundless, even to its native demons.

Ancient technology from ten thousand years ago is in effect; as the Human Fleet sails, their whereabouts are elusive, and demons need to spend time finding them and often make errors.

Furthermore, finding them doesn’t guarantee victory.

Under the Emperor’s Sword wielded by the Son of God, any demon daring to come forth faces inevitable death.

And it’s true death.

This is truly terrifying for demons.

Generally speaking, demons feel unbridled in both the real universe and Subspace, relying on their immortality. They possess Subspace essence; if their essence remains undestroyed, being killed merely means rebirth from Subspace after a time.

Few entities can genuinely wipe them out.

But the Emperor’s Sword is such an entity.

It is indeed the divine sword once wielded personally by The Emperor.
