Chapter 860: Chapter 469, Temir’s Great Victory!
The one who helped Commander Matins kill King Saru, besides the backstabbing Kalduce, was another, none other than the Battle Group’s Chief Think Tank, Henrik Larson.
At first, he led several Psychics that had been deployed, engaging in Spiritual Power confrontations with multiple Orc Shamans, successfully suppressing these Orc Shamans and preventing them from interfering with the human troops. Then, Kalduce personally made a move, striking these few Orc Shamans and eliminating them, thereby liberating his own Psychics. This set the stage for the joint attack on Saru later on.
After the Orc Warlord was killed, the situation aboard the Firebath Nova was practically decided.
At this point, the overall state of the naval battle was also quite clear.
Gu Hang was on board the Firebath Nova himself, but he wasn’t concerned with the boarding Orcs at all.
On one hand, he trusted that Matins and his Phoenix squad could handle the situation well; on the other hand, Gu Hang was preoccupied with another matter.
He was assisting with the naval battle.
From Saru’s successful boarding to his death, there was a span of just about forty to fifty minutes. Not to say that Saru had any chance of success, even if he had managed to destroy the ‘Firebath Nova’ from the inside, it wouldn’t have reversed the situation in the battle.
During these forty to fifty minutes of naval combat, the Green Skin Fleet had already suffered heavy losses.
The target of the Firebath Nova, in fact, didn’t need much of Gu Hang’s attention. When the Green Skins, in a bid to grasp a thread of victory, opted for a close-range bombardment with Boarding Torpedoes and shuttles, engaging the Human Fleet in close-quarter barrages, the Firebath Nova, a Retribution-class Battleship, naturally found its best performance stage.
It wasn’t fast enough, nor agile, but it boasted ferocious firepower, strong shields, and thick armor—it was a born core of firepower, a king of battleship artillery duels.
Any Green-Skinned Warship in the crosshairs of its main guns at that distance didn’t stand a chance. With four main cannons, including one ‘Divine Punishment’ Light Spear Array of X-grade and three X-grade Colossal Cannons ‘Destruction Verdict’, a hit would typically spell doom for most Green-Skinned Warships, shields and all. Even those equivalent to Human cruisers would see their shields shattered by a single shot.
Once the shield was broken, the ship, although still protected by armor, would suffer hull damage with every hit. If, by chance, it struck a weak spot or pierced through and damaged critical parts of the ship, it could cause devastating damage.
Not to mention, the Retribution-class wasn’t limited to these four main guns. With twenty L-grade heavy cannons, almost equivalent to four cruisers, it often followed up an X-grade cannon shot with five L-grade ones targeting the same enemy.
As long as the first hit landed, breaking the shield, the following shots could pose a serious threat.
It was in this way that multiple Green Skin main warships were destroyed.
Let alone the occasional small ship caught in the crossfire.
The Human side also had eleven cruisers, more in number than the Green Skin main ships, and they were formidable as well.
Since Gu Hang didn’t need to provide support for the battleship, he aided the eleven cruisers instead.
His coordination with Yelisia, the Fleet Commander, was also quite good.
Yelisia, within the command channel, adjusted the formation of the entire Fleet, directed the fire of the Fleet, and managed dispersal and encirclement. And whenever there was a chance to eliminate one of the enemy ships, Gu Hang used his Psychic Power, boosted to Alpha-level by the blessings of the Storm God Kingdom, to rip apart the enemy ship’s energy shield.
Once the cannons fired, it often led to the destruction of an enemy vessel.
Their cooperation could be considered perfectly in sync.
Thus, the Human Fleet had two rapid methods to destroy a Green Skin main ship in this battle.
And how many main ships did the Green Skins have that were capable of fighting?
The Green Skin Fleet, despite heavy losses, engaged in a futile exchange of fire with the Human Fleet, waiting for those who boarded, especially their boss, King Saru, to destroy the enemy flagship.
If he had accomplished this feat, undoubtedly, the Green Skin Fleet’s morale would have soared.
However, as the moment failed to arrive, the Orcs couldn’t help but question: What has become of King Saru?
It was natural for them to think this way.
From their perspective, after King Saru called for an all-out attack, his flagship was destroyed. Who knew if the shuttle King Saru boarded had successfully landed? Was it destroyed in the void? Even if the boarding was successful, had he already been taken out by those on the ship?
Otherwise, why, after so long, was that mightiest and most formidable ship among the Shrimp still firing one after another, turning our warships into space junk?

With the flagship destroyed, the long-awaited boarding that brought no news, and the rapid elimination of their warships…
The morale of the Green Skin Fleet inevitably began to plummet.
And at that moment, an even worse situation emerged: with the chief, Saru, out of contact, the Green Skin Fleet command system completely collapsed.
Even though they were still unaware of Saru’s death, under such pressure, without anyone prestigious enough to take command, the captains of the Green Skin ships began to have their own ideas.
