Chapter 1032: Chapter 561, Alfonso’s Ark Fleet

“Politos is a capable person,” Gu Hang remarked wistfully.

At the moment, he was chatting casually with his wife, Yelisia.

Their marital relationship was naturally quite different from that of ordinary people.

The two spent more time apart than together, with very little time to be with each other throughout the year.

Gu Hang was very busy, and Yelisia was also extremely busy.

However, despite this, their relationship was not affected.

Their union was not primarily driven by emotion but rather an inseparable union of interests.

Initially, they may have simply appreciated each other, not averse to being together.

But emotions can be cultivated, especially when goals align, aspirations converge, and many aspects are strongly bonded together, emotions instead become more stable.

And especially as the Alliance, which Gu Hang completely controlled, grew stronger, and he essentially became the foremost power figure in the entire Eastern Cosmos Domain, Yelisia couldn’t possibly part from Gu Hang.

At the same time, Yelisia, as an Admiral, also helped Gu Hang better control the naval forces crucial to a space power, and Gu Hang couldn’t really do without her either.

So the emotions couldn’t possibly be poor.

For political interests, emotions stabilized; conversely, it also stands true that stable emotions lead to stable interests.

Initially, they might have been separate, but as time went on, they became inextricably intertwined.

Or to put it another way, if the emotions were not good, Gu Hang would never entrust the important navy to Yelisia’s command.

As high-ranking figures in Human Empire society, the two had considered creating a descendant together to leave behind a bloodline.

It was just that, on one hand, they were busy, and on the other, the timing was fine.

Although, by calculation, both of them were nearly fifty years old. However, with advanced human technology, Yelisia, who had long undergone life-extension surgery, had a lifespan of at least several centuries and remained eternally youthful; whereas Gu Hang, who hadn’t had the surgery, since becoming Rage Owl Star Governor years ago, for almost thirty years now, his appearance had hardly changed.

He is already fifty years old, yet still looks in his prime.

The power of Spiritual Energy played a significant role in it. High-level Psychics actually don’t extend their lifespan but may appear very short-lived due to the erosion of their bodies by this supernatural power.

But Gu Hang could completely control the Spiritual Energy with the help of the system.

That is a completely different concept.

His current life form is still that of a mortal, but his ‘life essence’ compared to a normal person—it’s hard to say how similar they are.

Both of them could be considered immortals. Five or six decades of a life journey that for ordinary people have reached its end, for them, they had just taken a few steps in a long life.

The perception of life differs greatly, and so does the perception of offspring.

At present, it could be considered the interlude of war. It was at this time that they found the leisure to gather for mutual communication.

What they exchanged wasn’t important; it was the act of communication itself that mattered.

The main force of the Alliance Fleet, after the Hyeyang battle, traveled to Bowang Star at a not-so-fast pace, maintaining silent mode.

This planet itself wasn’t much to talk about: a regular world with a development level of 1, five to six billion people, with technology levels in the electrical era. It had no particularly notable resources, wasn’t on any major trade routes, and had very average orbital defense capabilities.

They even lacked adequate means to observe deep-space conditions.

The only reason for the Alliance’s main force to be here was that, according to the information received from the front, the Fury Fleet was traveling on a star path that would pass through Bowang, heading towards Wuqi Star.

It’s worth mentioning that Bowang is not the only possible route to Wuqi Star, just an option, and a rather lengthy detour at that. The reason why the Fury Fleet chose this path was, of course, not by choice. They wished they could reach Wuqi Star sooner to take advantage of its comprehensive defense system as a crucial connecting channel between the two Star Domains to hold out until Alfonso Fleet’s arrival, ensuring much more safety.

Being forced by the Blood Shark was purely the reason for this situation.

And the Bowang system was the slaughterhouse Gu Hang had prepared for them.

While waiting for the ‘sheep’ to come, there was some relative downtime, during which Gu Hang finally found time for a rare exchange with his wife.

So naturally, they talked about the target doomed to be slaughtered next, and also about Politos, the new leader of the Fury Flame Battle Group.

Gu Hang once again repeated his evaluation of Politos: “Politos is a capable person.”

“He’s capable? Capable of being toyed with by you like this? You seem to take him lightly; even for the upcoming war destined to happen here at Bowang, you don’t really care. It’s not critical; it’s just a part of your plan… You don’t regard him as anything, not even an opponent, yet you say he’s quite capable?”

“It’s not contradictory.” Gu Hang waved his hand, smiling as he said, “He did everything right, made every right choice, there’s naturally praise in order.”

“Did everything right and ended up in his current situation?”

“Yes,” Gu Hang sighed, “That’s the disparity between our strengths. He couldn’t possibly contend with us on any previous battlefield. Hold firm at Shangdong, Guangfeng? Defend Mentus II, Aoya Star, Hyeyang VIII? His chances of success would never exceed 30%, and that’s even without counting me in.”
