STARTING FROM THE PLANETARY GOVERNOR

Chapter 793: Chapter 437, Humanity Must Win

The Temir Star System is located at the southeast corner of the Golden Pass Star Sector and is a necessary route connecting Golden Pass to Eagle Horse, and it is also the main traffic artery within the entire Golden Pass Star Sector. In this star system, there are five Star Realm Tunnels, three towards the inside connecting to three star systems of the Golden Pass Star Sector, and the other two, respectively, lead to the Copper Barrier Star District and the Eagle Horse Star Sector.

At the same time, the Temir Star System itself also holds significant value. Within this star system, there are three habitable planets orbiting the Temir star, namely the 2nd, 4th, and 5th planets.

Before the menace of the Iron Tooth Orcs emerged, the combined population of these three planets was twenty billion; Temir II was a vast agricultural world with four billion inhabitants, and the food produced there was more than enough not just for the entire star sector, but there was also a surplus.

The 4th planet was a mining and industrial world, focused primarily on heavy industry and the export of raw materials. It also had a population of around four billion people.

The 5th planet was a civilized world, with a population of twelve billion and cities scattered throughout.

Without boasting too much, the three worlds within the star system each had its advantages and could complement each other.

In addition, due to its status as a major traffic corridor, this place could be described as a land of pearls—only before the rise of the Iron-teeth Greenskins.

After the orcs arrived, there was no use in talking about it.

After the fall of the Fourth Sector, the Golden Pass Star Sector became a battlefield. Although initially, the Temir Star System was not in the main battle area, it lay in the hinterland of the Golden Pass Star Sector at that time. However, because it was close and somewhat rich in foundations, the Star Domain Government, when fighting against the Iron Tooth Orcs, drew many of its forces directly from the Temiral Tristar.

Thus they siphoned off its resources for several decades, and on top of that, there were quite a few occasions when the Green Skin Orcs made their incursions into Temir, leaving these originally prosperous planets severely withered.

It might already sound miserable, but the truth was that it hadn’t yet reached the worst point.

No matter how depleted, the productivity and population of the planets were still there, at worst it meant the potential for development was exhausted, the standard of living for the populace dropped significantly, famines emerged, and various comprehensive problems led to a decline in population…

That was about as bad as it got. The few times the Green Skin Orcs struck Temir Star System, the chaos only lasted for a short while, the numbers were not large, and the human military forces would quickly drive them out again. After all, the Temir Star System was one of the few major bases inside Golden Pass after it turned into a war zone; unless it was absolutely necessary, human military forces would certainly not give up on these three worlds.

However, the previous aggressive campaign, which had collapsed under Titus’s counterattack, had brought disaster upon Temir.

The Northern Fleet was annihilated, and Yunluo had fled. After losing its space forces, a large number of human ground troop elites got stranded in the four star systems of the southern part of Silver Pass Sector, with no word from them. The previously settled Golden Pass Star Sector suddenly flung its gates wide open, and the orcs swarmed in.

Even though the main force of the Iron-Tooth Clan was split into two in Golden Pass, with a large army marching west under Titus’s leadership, bringing war to the heart of the Star Domain, and a powerful detachment led by the one-tusked ghost headed east to Eagle Horse. Nonetheless, just the Green Skin Orcs left in the Golden Pass Star Sector were enough to collapse it.

When Du Shiliang arrived at the Temir Star System with his fleet, the first thing he did was to carefully gather all the intelligence about the entire star system.

The one-tusked ghost was eliminated, and the Green Skin fleet collapsed and escaped through the jump point at Steel Wing Star and into Temir.

Although many of the Green Skins’ main battleships were destroyed, at least two hundred ships remained. Now, with nearly half of the United Fleet having been taken by Yelisia on patrol through Seven Horse Territory, the strength of his fleet was somewhat insufficient. If he was careless and bit by the Green Skins, it was still possible to be overturned.

He knew the alliance couldn’t withstand the consequences of a naval catastrophe, and although he had to go on the offensive, being as cautious as possible was never excessive.

After scouting, Du Shiliang preliminarily confirmed that the main fleet of the Green Skin Orcs was not in the Temir Star System. The stargazers aboard the ships only discovered about a dozen Green Skin vessels here.

However, conditions on the surface were already terrible.

Temir II, favored by the Green Skins due to its environment, was almost undetectable for human activity on the planet’s surface.

This left Du Shiliang’s heart aching.

The former breadbasket of Golden Pass, with a population of four billion, a world of beautiful scenery and a pleasant environment, had now fallen into a place riddled with Green Skin spores and relentless skirmishes.

For the Green Skin Orcs, it was evident they considered Temir II an important breeding stronghold and had invested considerable effort here.

In the few months since the occupation, the Iron Tooth Orcs had deployed a significant amount of manpower to Temir II. Not only were the human inhabitants slaughtered almost to extinction in just a few months, but they also put in the effort to transform the local ecological environment, establishing large swathes of Green Skin biomes.

New batches of Green Skin life were thriving. Not only were there Skugg-Beasts running amok and flatulent imps sprouting everywhere amidst the lush green spore plants.

The former could serve as food and draft animals for the Green Skins, and even participate in combat as akin to military dogs, coordinating with the Green-Skin Army.

The latter were, of course, also Green Skins.

Flatulent imps typically occupied the lower echelons of Green Skin society, acting as assistants and servants to the orcs. They were intelligent, cunning, and vicious, but at the same time base and cowardly. They didn’t count as suitable soldiers; under normal circumstances, if an army were composed purely of flatulent imps, morale would be very concerning.
