the Command Tower Erich looked at Wang Mengsong, his expression quite complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should be done now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should Wang Mengsong be stripped of his command, and this overly assertive guy be taken down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Wang Mengsong’s contributions to the battle, just considering the cost of taking him down, it’s unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Torch members around Wang Mengsong were clearly all united with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If force is used, will conflict arise between the two sides?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such a critical moment, would there be internal strife?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be outrageous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erich maintained a cold face, but in truth, he was quite at a loss inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since internal strife is out of the question, then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>should we ask Wang Mengsong how the next actions should proceed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be somewhat too humiliating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the midst of this dilemma, Wang Mengsong spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no pretense, just straight to the point, and he offered tactical suggestions for the next steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the new Torch members began to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still troops left outside; they needed some forces to guard the periphery of the command tower to prevent the Sage from escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure that if he tried to flee from the top of the command tower using an aircraft, they could intercept immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firepower for interception wasn’t just near the exterior of the command tower but also included several high-level platforms nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Interstellar Warriors could ensure that no aircraft could approach or leave the command tower in a short timeframe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Sage left by air, it would actually be easier to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, he intended to die defending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Antoine Delaroch was already aware of Farai’s assassination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even received messages from various parties, hoping he would surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to switch sides together, share in the great cause, and return to the Empire?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no need for such fierce conflict, making the battle so brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Delaroch refused them all, and even furiously cursed those people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Delaroch felt he was far from losing yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Interstellar Warriors attacking the Starport initially caused massive chaos with their strong individual abilities, as he reacted, the battlefield situation had already been brought under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for an unexpected incident from the flank causing him misjudgment, he would still be calm and collected now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even now, it wasn’t the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The command tower, though called a tower, had quite a large internal scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hands, he still had thousands of elite troops, fortified within the command tower, defending over a dozen floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not expect these few thousand to repel the Interstellar Warriors alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as they could hold them off, the million troops within the Starport would continuously come for reinforcement to repel these Interstellar Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as long as he held firm, the fence-sitters on the planet would not dare to completely side with the Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Alliance agents were active, and they were somewhat stunned by the Thunder Operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given enough time, once they reacted, even if Farai died, he had enough prestige to turn the tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delaroch stood up and paced, contemplating countermeasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the situation was extremely severe, but he wasn’t without the power to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body had been significantly modified for combat, and in terms of combat configuration alone, he believed he was even stronger than Farai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the terrible news kept coming in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several troop carriers fully loaded with elite forces, under the escort of fighter jets, were ready to enter the command tower from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Delaroch had declared no evacuation, it would still be good to have more reinforcements from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these attempts all failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly a hundred Interstellar Warriors guarding the perimeter were not pushovers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They not only possessed complete anti-air infantry weapons but also had good effects using several anti-air firepower platforms, previously belonging to the Sect of Mechanics, captured in the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with fighter escorts, it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The troop transportation ships, capable of large-scale deployments, were still too fragile and easily shot down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the supporting forces from the ground perimeter all faced interception and couldn’t reach their destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Troops numbering over ten thousand were often blocked directly by just a few Interstellar Warriors, unable to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrain within the Starport was very similar to the densely constructed surface Nest Capital, and in the narrow environment, the troops couldn’t fully deploy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the number of people confronting the Interstellar Warriors was limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the elite level was insufficient to break through, it was meaningless to have more people behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even using heavy firepower wasn’t effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Artillery was not usable inside the Starport, and using missile attacks and then employing tanks or other heavy armored units to approach for direct fire could indeed repel a few blocking Interstellar Warriors, but the passage would also collapse, preventing rapid troop movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Detouring or clearing debris would take more time, during which they would face continuous harassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At times, when the New Era Torch warriors felt they couldn’t hold on, they would even proactively destroy buildings, blocking roads in the structure of the Starport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, objectively, these were temporary difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news coming from all directions indicated they were trying every means to rescue the command tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of Interstellar Warriors stationed outside was ultimately limited, and reinforcements would come eventually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he held on long enough.\u003C\u002Fp>",938,"2026-06-05T14:29:28.820Z",1,"novelbin.me","3b1bef5f69e98fb9113d19b2256e67dd18dd506a2429c1f5e48c15efc0b1f3d1","starting-from-the-planetary-governor-chapter-1132","starting-from-the-planetary-governor-chapter-1130",1694,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-the-planetary-governor-cover.jpg"]
