Wraith Spire had started to move in space, under the collective supervision of the human United Fleet.
The crew and officers of the Alliance Navy who boarded the warship were actually quite unfamiliar with piloting this type of vessel. At the sa ti, while navigating the ship, they felt an imnse pressure, an inexplicable heat throughout their bodies, and occasionally they could see so crazy hallucinations and hear so unsettling whispers...
These were all rather bad signs.
On this battleship, Gu Hang had ordered many State Church Priests to be summoned from other ships. All crew mbers on the battleship must pray every three hours under the guidance of a priest.
Several temporary shipboard chapels had been established on the ship. Gu Hang personally cleansed these chapels with the power of thunder. Then, the State Church Priests would use these chapels as the central area to preach and help the crew resist the intrusion of chaos.
To be honest, these asures were all temporary.
If this went on for too long during the prolonged interstellar voyage, the pervasive corruption of chaos would inevitably drive the crew into madness. Even the accompanying priests could eventually succumb to corruption over ti.
Fortunately, it wouldn't take too long to return from Tie Dong II.
These temporary asures, along with Gu Hang's personal care, were just barely enough to hold on.
The Flying Wing Star Starport, which was inford of the news, had already prepared a docking position.
The Starport of Flying Wing Star had never hosted a warship of the Retribution-class grade. The docking position now temporarily allocated was originally ant for Jufu-class transport ships.
In terms of size, it was just about adequate, as the Jufu-class transport vessels were quite large as well;
But the technical specifications and safety aspects... among other factors, the civilian and military berths were too different.
Despite this, as soon as the operation began, the port started refurbishnts under the orders of Gu Hang. However, this too required quite so ti.
But a temporary docking was acceptable.
From Korolya, a team of Battle Nuns, accompanied by a large group of chanting nuns, together with State Church Priests called from various places, would take turns staying on this warship in the coming ti.
They would recite scriptures while sprinkling holy water, repeatedly cleansing every inch of the ship; they would transform and build chapels on the ship one after another, erecting statues of the Divine Emperor everywhere; they would arrange scripture ribbons and red clay seals in every possible place...
These were considered standard asures.
As for Gu Hang himself, as long as he was on Flying Wing Star, he must visit every two months to spend two days invoking the Storm God Kingdom—or imrse the warship in the Storm God Kingdom, if that would suffice.
Then, he would use the power of thunder to thoroughly cleanse the entire ship, inside and out.
After that, he would repeat the process with the techniques of the State Church Priests and nuns, as well as the Sect of chanics, and continue to do so.
In this way, after many cycles, this Retribution-class battleship would eventually be cleansed one day.
In fact, Gu Hang already had an estimated tiline:
At most, three years.
This was considering that Gu Hang might have to leave Flying Wing Star to handle other matters and could not always be watching over this warship to perform the cleansing ritual.
Otherwise, if pushed to the limit, it could possibly be done in just a year and a half.
As for this warship, its past na was definitely to be discarded. As for the new na, Gu Hang had already decided:
"Firebath Nova."
...
This trip to the south of the Seven Horse Territory, solving the Ashen Dead issue, was naturally the biggest gain from the battleship.
At the sa ti, stabilizing the rear and solving the historical issues with Phoenix was also an important matter.
Otherwise, Gu Hang would always worry about such a hidden concern, not knowing when or where it might erupt.
When an uncertain danger beca an actual problem and was resolved, of course, it was a reason to be happy.
This also ant that the Alliance could finally focus most of its efforts back onto the frontal battlefield against the Iron-Tooth Clan.
Yelisia, leading half of the United Fleet, set off northward after a brief post-war rest.
Having wasted a lot of ti encircling the Ashen Dead Squad in the Iron Horse Sector, it was now probably too late to arrive at the Temir Star System ahead of the enemy's reinforcents and eliminate the Green Skin Fleet already there.
But still, Yelisia had to go.
Otherwise, once the Green Skins reinforced, especially with their naval power becoming stronger, Du Shiliang would not be able to hold on. The warfare in the Temir Star System could not do without the protection of the naval forces, or else the nurous land forces on the ground would suffer greatly.
Temir had already beco a focal point of the war.
With navies in the vast galaxy standing off against each other, the occasional loss of a small ship was a loss of tens of thousands, even millions of Tax Currency; and on the ground, billions of human warriors and Green Skins used every thod possible, treating every inch of two planets as a battlefield, and fought desperately against each other.
Here, it was not only the focus of the war between the Alliance and the Green Skins but also one of the focal points of the entire war effort.
As the Alliance continued to bleed in Temir, they were also heavily bleeding the Iron-Tooth Clan.
Even on the western front of the Star Domain, which the Beastn were attacking, their offensive had weakened.
At least, up to this point, Jindi Star was still in the hands of the Sect of chanics.
According to the information Wu Jiarong sent back to Gu Hang, although the situation on Jindi Star was worsening day by day and would definitely be lost if it continued, the long-awaited reinforcents from the Mingyang Sect and the Star Domain Governnt—the Fury Fla Battle Group—were finally about to arrive.
