Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1152: Chapter 626: You Can Pull

This might be the most stressful moment in Yelisia’s life.

Her time in the Navy has not been short, but before joining the Alliance Navy, she was at most the captain of a single ship. In the Alliance, she became an Imperial Navy Admiral, commanding the vast fleet of the Alliance.

Battleships, aircraft carriers, battlecruisers… were all under her command.

This is almost the pinnacle that an Imperial Navy General can achieve in their career.

Can an average Admiral command such a powerful fleet?

Probably not.

Even a Navy General is unlikely to suffice; perhaps an Admiral might be.

However, in numerous operations prior, although all were commanded by Yelisia, one cannot ignore Gu Hang’s role. Although her husband did not directly interfere in fleet maneuvers, the biggest method for the fleet’s victories was undoubtedly Gu Hang’s spiritual energy. The fleet’s movements were aligned to act in concert with Gu Hang’s spiritual energy.

Often, when Gu Hang tore open the shield of an enemy ship, the fleet’s firepower would focus on that ship, without Yelisia having to worry much.

Though one victory after another turned into military honors for her as a Navy General, which is something to be happy about, she also understood that those achievements were not entirely hers, not wholly achieved through her ability alone, but instead borrowed from Gu Hang’s glow.

Of course, she wouldn’t be unreasonable enough to ask for a chance to prove her ability.

War is no child’s play; doing so, even if the ship’s Void Shield takes one more hit, the Spell Shield energy consumed is rather costly; if the armor is hit one more time, those indentations and cracks require dock time for repairs, using large engineering machinery to restore the ship’s surface.

Everything costs money!

Nothing related to the Navy comes cheap.

But putting aside practical considerations, she had never not fantasized similarly in her heart.

She has always been strong-willed, eager to prove herself.

And now, unexpected and unprepared, the opportunity presented itself before her.

Without the help of spiritual energy, Gu Hang was fully engaged in another dimensional battlefield, unable to heed the space naval battle in the real universe, and he fully delegated and trusted her. She now was the highest commander of the entire fleet, everything moved according to her.

And what she faced was a tremendous challenge.

An enemy more powerful than the Alliance Fleet, a disadvantageous headwind situation… How was she to fight this war?

When such a challenge was truly laid before her, she regretted, wishing she hadn’t had such an opportunity.

Were simple victories not good?

But the reason a challenge is a challenge is that it will not shift according to her will, one she must face.

And she was practical.

This battle couldn’t be won.

Winning it wouldn’t be worth it.

Although she didn’t know what situation Gu Hang was in on the other battlefield, whether he could quickly achieve victory and return to the real universe to assist, she couldn’t pin her hopes on this; she had to independently make the right decision.

Rather than staying here, with a disadvantageous naval force, with major sacrifices to wait until Gu Hang finishes his task or to strive for victory in war, Yelisia decided that it was better to play it safe.

She decided to retreat.

But not simply turning the fleet around and fleeing.

Otherwise, under the enemy fleet’s pursuit, who knows how many ships would be lost on the way back to Alamita.

The entire fleet, under Yelisia’s command, maintained the fleet formation. The cooperation between ships was relatively tight, and the entire fleet circled around, ensuring that the frontal firepower faced the enemy, while trying to increase the distance between both sides.

The greatest advantage of this strategy was that the farther the overall distance between the two sides, the less effective the firepower. When a shot from the Colossal Cannon would take a long time to hit, not even the Bird Divination Device array or the spiritual calculation array, no matter how powerful their trajectory computation, could maintain a certain level of accuracy.

The Light Spear would be slightly better, its accuracy might be less affected, however the too long distance causes the power of energy weapons to exacerbate their decay exaggeratedly.

In short, as the distance increased, the intensity of naval battle naturally decreased.

When the distance was far enough, they could leave the battlefield and directly return to Alamita; even if the enemy keeps pursuing, as long as the naval battle’s intensity lessens, the fleet’s attrition becomes acceptable, then a tangled battle over ten days to a couple of weeks is not rare, tangled and harassing each other along the way back to Alamita.

By this time, Yelisia had to be thankful for the earlier Alliance strategy in Alamita that proved quite valuable.

If not for swiftly taking control of it, grabbing the orbital defense system and the ground-based orbital gun fortress cluster, stationing five army groups on the planet amounting to over a billion Alliance Army, the situation would genuinely be dire.

Now, at least they have a sound backing to rely on.

Returning to Alamita, with the support of the orbital system, they need not fear.

While the Valuk Fleet has higher strength, it hadn’t diverged excessively, making it impossible to breach the Alliance Fleet under the cover of an orbital defense system. If they dared to rashly approach, Yelisia wouldn’t mind delivering a head-on blow, earning herself a few more illustrious military honors.
