Starting from the Planetary Governor

On Alamita, he had already realized how precious the industrial base of a Founding World could be.

The technical difficulty of the virus bomb was not low, but beyond the black box, these greaseheads quickly came up with a production line, capable of small-scale mass production.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so smooth on the Barrocia battlefield.

The same could be said for Gu Hang’s homeland, where he had developed the Rage Owl Star-Flying Wing Star-Korolya line for decades. It’s improbable that the Alliance’s ruling core could come up with something so quickly.

Cutting-edge facilities, complete industrial chains, abundant high-level talent… these are the unique advantages of a Founding World, difficult for other places to compensate for in a short time.

When the output of a Founding World is fully unleashed, it can equal an entire Star Domain.

Barrocia was quite regrettable already, with great personnel losses. The members of the Sect of Mechanics all ended up killing themselves, with few loyalists surviving. The planet’s vast industrial facilities will likely suffer significant damage during the war.

But regardless, some foundation will remain, and although rebuilding will take effort, it can be accomplished as long as peace prevails.

If there wasn’t a dire situation, Gu Hang wouldn’t have resorted to dropping an Extinction Order on Feng Ao.

The problem is, there were truly no loyalists found on Feng Ao. They might exist, but being out of contact and unable to exert influence is as good as non-existent. And if the Alliance were to face its complete defensive facilities head-on, attacking would be almost impossible.

It could be done, but the cost would be too great, the time too long, and the damage to the planet would be immense, with rebuilding costs being even higher than Barrocia.

Furthermore, the number of infected on Feng Ao was massive; they were all former Sect of Mechanics members, controlling a vast number of production facilities that can continuously produce powerful weapons, arming the infected, and even constructing ships.

Threats like this are numerous enough, but what’s more worrying is if they begin transforming into the Insect Swarm entirely. Hundreds of billions of people, using all organic matter on the planet, what would that strength look like?

Considering all factors, the Extinction Order became an unavoidable choice.

Thankfully, the Space Decimation Bomb wasn’t used.

It’s not produced yet.

And it’s not necessary.

The Skyburn Torpedo suffices.

But the greater issue is, how to deploy this Extinction Order weapon.

Simply throwing it down would surely be intercepted.

The Alliance Fleet besieging Feng Ao applied for reinforcements. The Aircraft Carrier Eagle Horse, carrying most of the Storm Mage Corps, was redeployed from Barrocia.

The Alliance ships launched a fierce attack on Feng Ao, drawing most of the orbital firepower. Subsequently, numerous ground bombardment missiles, disguised as Skyburn Torpedoes, began to be deployed onto the ground.

These bombardment missiles attracted most of the defensive firepower.

Although the infected on the surface were unaware they were being targeted by an Extinction Order, they knew these destructive missiles were aimed at the surface artillery groups. Landing one would diminish their anti-orbit cannon system considerably.

When Feng Ao’s firepower had been sufficiently drawn away, the Eagle Horse dispatched a cruiser to the extreme proximity of Feng Ao’s surface, and only then was the real Skyburn Torpedo deployed.

It wasn’t just one. Although the Skyburn Torpedo is expensive, and only one explosion would achieve the desired effect, ensuring annihilation justifies the cost. After all the preparations, insurance measures are necessary during this final deployment stage.

This deployed cruiser launched two. Moreover, three were mixed into the ground attack missiles.

Ultimately, which Skyburn Torpedo exploded in Feng Ao’s atmosphere can hardly be confirmed, but detonating one meant mission accomplished.

The Alliance Fleet suffered heavy losses in this attack. For example, the cruiser that fired the Skyburn Torpedo at close range from Eagle Horse was destroyed by the surface orbital system.

During the comprehensive assault by the Alliance Army to draw sufficient firepower, one battleship was damaged, and two cruisers were destroyed due to proximity.

But at least the threat from Feng Ao has been entirely removed. The Alliance can gaze from space, watching the planet turn into a massive fireball within hours.

Blazing flames burned throughout the planet’s atmosphere, reaching and scorching its entire surface. The temperature soared rapidly, roasting it for over ten days before flames began to disappear. Nearly another month passed before the planet gradually cooled down.

By now, the main Alliance Army had long departed, but small monitoring ships remained nearby, responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Extinction Order.

They cautiously approached without encountering any attacks.

The surface had been scorched into ruins, with only a few extremely heat-resistant building groups and facilities retaining traces of their original form. Everything else had been burnt to ashes.

The orbital Starport, Star Fortress, and Armed Space Station couldn’t survive either. They were too close to the surface, and when the burning atmosphere reached a certain level, it implicated and dragged them down, crashing onto the surface one by one.

The departed Alliance Fleet headed to another place where Gu Hang had signed an Extinction Order, to execute the mission.

Following Feng Ao’s destruction, the Alliance broadcasted this incident as frequently as possible to fifty nearby planets out of contact through Star Domain Broadcast.

The loyalists on those planets may be unable to contact the Alliance in space, but they will certainly receive the message.

Upon hearing Feng Ao’s fate, these loyalists were extremely anxious.

No matter what they previously thought or any objective difficulties, they need to quickly make contact with the Alliance now; otherwise, they fear Feng Ao’s fate might become their own.

No one wishes to accompany a group of infected to the grave.

The uncertainly loyal individuals began actively contacting the Alliance.

The loyalists in objectively challenging situations tried every means to contact the Alliance. It proves that as long as one thinks of methods, there will always be worlds without even the means to try, or where loyalist strength is extremely weak. If such a world has a dense population or a developed ecological environment, to prevent a potential threat from the Insect Swarm, Gu Hang will issue an Extinction Order. In subsequent orders, seven were signed successively.
