What does the defeat in the Oglia Campaign an for the Alliance?
It ans the Western Expedition Army will be practically obliterated, and not many will manage to escape back;
It signifies a complete failure in the conquest of the Forward Cosmic Domain, with the entire domain possibly engulfed by the Green Tide, leaving thousands of worlds and trillions of people in the depths of despair;
It implies that the Green Tide will not stop at the Forward Cosmic Domain and will inevitably spread toward the Magrey Cosmic Domain, severely challenging all the achievents of the Dark Side Expedition over the past thirty-odd years;
The Alliance might need to fight the Magrey Defense Battle, requiring a profound change in the Dark Side Expedition’s situation, shifting from the past thirty years of advancing triumphantly to adopting a strategic defensive stance to safeguard the achievents. Plans initially ant to proceed smoothly now need to recalibrate the tiline for the Dark Side Expedition in terms of centuries, with an uncertain duration.
From these concepts, the Oglia Campaign is a battle that cannot be lost.
Yet, Gu Hang also recognizes that the Alliance is not completely unable to afford defeat in this battle.
Even if all the worst scenarios ntioned above unfold, the Alliance still has confidence.
The Southern Expedition Army, similar in scale to the Western Line, remains; on the Alliance’s hofront, there are garrison forces equivalent in size to the Western Expedition Army; the loss of elite units such as the Interstellar Warriors is generally a permanent loss that is difficult to replenish, but for Gu Hang, the replenishnt is quite swift; highest-level mobilization orders on the core territories of the Alliance have not been activated yet, leaving ample untapped warti potential.
In the context of the Alliance’s survival or demise, even if the Oglia Campaign suffers a disastrous defeat, there’s still the entire Magrey that can be fought.
It’s far from reaching that stage.
It was on this foundation that Gu Hang dared to fight.
Winning would an that the Forward Cosmic Domain could be completely secured within three to five years, greatly speeding up progress;
thoroughly eliminating a major explosive threat;
and ultimately, it’s preferable to fight sooner rather than later, even if it results in defeat.

As the outer defense line endures increasing pressure, humanity’s full-scale assault on the Fortress Throne on Ancache VIII has already comnced.
The intensity of the war has elevated again by a significant notch!
The first enhancent ca from the Alliance intensifying its bombardnt on the planet’s surface.
In fact, since the battle began, orbital bombardnt has never ceased.
The firepower of the Starship was not solely for assisting in establishing those six drop zones. The vast majority involved bombarding various places across the entire planet, from trash cities to ecological zones, from air defense fortresses to gathering grounds for Beastman surface units...
Nonetheless, demolishing six air defense fortresses doesn’t decisively influence global bombardnt. At most, it improves bombing efficiency in areas where the air defense has been eliminated.
However, for directly bombarding the War Fort Throne and assisting in deploying Extinction Order weapons, the impact is nearly nonexistent.
The War Fortress Throne naturally has the Green Skins’ most outstanding surface air defense and anti-orbital firepower facilities, equipped with the strongest waaagh field shields, making bombarding it ineffective.
But avoiding bombardnt isn’t an option either.
Bombarding at least ties up the Green Skins’ cannons for interception; refraining ans liberating the fortress throne’s cannons, posing a deadly threat to human ships in outer space.
The bombardnt on the fortress throne serves more as a ans of containnt.
As for Extinction Order weapons, the Alliance never ceased using them. Observations and calculations on surface air defense firepower are continuously conducted. Upon discovering weaker points, the human fleet may casually deploy an Extinction Order weapon.
If ending this great war with just one Extinction Order weapon is feasible, even at the cost of sacrificing all surface troops already deployed, it’s worth the risk.
But success eluded them.
There were even two types of failure.
The majority were intercepted.
The Bone Shattering King’s vigilance against the Extinction Order was indubitable, and the waaagh field enveloping the entire planet was linked to him. This ’Great Prophet’ of the Green Skins possesses ample capability to identify Extinction Order weapons amidst concealnt and cover, promptly intercepting them through a ntal invocation.
However, two Skyburn Torpedoes did indeed explode.
Yet, the torpedo ant to ignite Ancache VIII’s atmosphere through ongoing fission and envelop the entire planet in the skyburn flas, rely erupted like a grand firework.
The overwhelming flas ravaged over a dozen kiloters before extinguishing.
A peculiar force isolated the material, suffocating the torpedo.
The process was so swift that Gu Hang was caught off guard. When he attempted to employ his power to escort the Skyburn Torpedo, the encounter with the opposing waaagh field thwarted him.
Disbelieving Gu Hang infused spiritual energy at the very onset during the second torpedo explosion.
This confrontation allowed Gu Hang to perceive through the power struggle the Ork King seated on the throne.
Grinning Bone Shards was not at a disadvantage in the struggle.
Even with Gu Hang’s intervention, this explosion halted at just a hundred kiloters.
Attempting a third confrontation, Bone Shards no longer allowed the opportunity.
He also perceived the risk.
Gu Hang can afford to fail nurous tis, but Bone Shards would be finished with just one failure.
Bone Shards, more focused on interception, rendered Extinction Order impotent.
Despite realizing the impossibility of easily ending the war with Extinction Order, humanity under Gu Hang’s orders would sporadically deploy another.
The aim remains containnt.
As long as I keep bombing, you must remain perpetually ready.
Should Bone Shards exert his power to annihilate ground human units, the threat would be substantial.
But conversely, Gu Hang can execute this task.
And it’s sowhat feasible.

Baiqiao never imagined a scenario resembling hell itself.
A graduate of the seventh Military Academy on Flying Wing Star, he is a soaring eagle. Enlisting in the army, joining the Dark Side Expedition, he rapidly achieved countless feats, becoming a colonel commanding an Armored Infantry Regint subordinate to a Skeleton Division.
Throughout the Dark Side Expedition, he experienced arduous battles. Yet, victory always belonged to him in the end. The elite warriors under his command instilled pride in him. He consistently believed that regardless of the adversary, he would confront and fight them with vigor, confident victory would be his.
But this conviction was shattered in the ninth hour after leading his regint to land on the surface.
His regint, fully staffed with 3600 n, had an actual count of 3169 n, and by now, fewer than six hundred remained.
In just nine hours!
To be precise, four hours.
His regint was not even responsible for the main frontline operations!
In the second hour of landing, he received orders to clear a tunnel.
This site was only on the battle’s fringes; humanity’s forces had destroyed the Green Skin Army units upfront, the main forces had already crushed through and proceeded eastward. However, sporadic Beastn erging from the tunnels to attack the rear were detected in the crushed area.
Hence, Baiqiao’s regint was commanded to clear the tunnels.
During four hours of executing the tunnel-clearing task, his troops were nearly wiped out.
Although they had reached the tunnel’s end, where an underground mushroom farm facilitated the birth of new Green Skins.
Yet he seed devoid of strength to destroy this place.
