Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 101

Chapter 101, Passive Response

. Cody died.

He blew up the last two sorcerers.

Thadius’s eyes were bloodshot.

He felt that he had not done enough, which led to Cody and his team having to come up to clean up the mess despite the death of all their members.

They made detours and launched the attack according to the agreed situation. They successfully completed the task, but they were blocked. The five sorcerers were all dealt with by Cody’s people…

What on earth am I doing?

Objectively, Thadius certainly played a role in containment and creating opportunities, and also killed many armed thugs guarding those sorcerers. It cannot be said that he had no effect at all, and it was even very significant.

However, looking at Cody’s side, there is a gap when there is a comparison.

He wished that he could rush up directly like Cody, even if he died, he would kill more enemies. Only in this way could he dispel the simmering anger in his heart.

But in the end, reason prevailed in his mind.

He waved his hand and led the team to retreat.

There were still five soldiers around him, and together with himself, they could form two combat teams. When the comrades in the front launched an attack, his men would firmly nail down the enemy’s retreat route.

Thadius stared at the enemies with hatred on his face.

I want you all to die here!

…

Gu Hang heard about Cody’s heroic deeds from Ossena.

At the beginning, he tried to imitate the military system in his memory in order to be able to reorganize the prisoners as soon as possible.

In terms of military skill level, he has the [Soldier Card] function, and he can quickly train them with some gifts, but it takes time to cultivate loyalty.

Now, he is both relieved that his previous arrangements are useful and heartbroken that he has lost a loyal soldier.

But his sacrifice is valuable.

According to the information Gu Hang has obtained here, after all six food transportation routes were attacked, four have been saved. There was some loss of food, but it was not large.

As for the other two places where there was no news, the Phoenixes had already rushed there. After Ossena asked him for help, he turned around and found the group of space warriors and asked them to help.

When it comes to fighting cultists, the Phoenix’s fanaticism is probably no less than that of the nuns of the Holy Lily of Mercy.

No matter how many enemies there are in those two places and how strong they are, if six Space Marines are divided into two teams and stand there, the problem will definitely be solved.

In terms of military strength, they are not worth mentioning.

Although the number of troops under Gu Hang is not large, they are elite enough to more than enough to fight those cultists.

The battle at the Norris Factory has already clearly demonstrated this.

Gu Hang guessed that the forces that the cultists could mobilize should not be too much. Their total investment in attacking the food transportation route may be about 700 to 800 people, and the number of sorcerers among them is about 20.

This force is much less than what they invested in the Norris Factory.

On the one hand, the number and strength of this group of cultists are not endless. They have lost about 60 to 70 core members in the past two days. Those cultists who can release storm magic are not easy to cultivate.

In addition to the core magicians, they have instigated nearly 5,000 people in the factory and invested 700 to 800 people in attacking the grain transport team. They want to control so many people, whether through some evil brainwashing means or through ordinary preaching to attract so many fanatical believers, it will always cost a price.

Obviously, they should be about to consume their accumulated energy.

Otherwise, if they can double the strength they invested in this wave, at least four of the six grain transport teams will be destroyed. Then Gu Hang will be in real trouble.

The most annoying thing about that group of guys is that they are hiding in a city with a population of one million and a particularly weak grassroots control, and it is difficult to catch them in a short time.

The failure at the Norris factory may have also clearly taught these cultists a lesson that direct confrontation is absolutely not advisable.

These guys are doing things secretly, and I can only deal with them passively.

This is not enough.

Gu Hang feels that the cultists must have a backup plan.

And this backup plan must be in the fifty food distribution points.

The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. After experiencing the situation of simultaneous attacks on six transportation routes and failures, those cultists should be able to wake up and know that it is unrealistic to eat fat people in one go.

Although they suffered heavy losses from two consecutive failures, it would be very troublesome if they targeted a few food distribution points with their remaining forces and attacked and incited the people while they were queuing for food.

Gu Hang decided to assign all the companies with political commissars in the prisoner-of-war camp. Each food distribution point will be directly equipped with a company!

Come on! I see if you can destroy an entire company without even having time to provide support after concentrating your forces!

Of course, Gu Hang can also stay sober. He does not think that all the companies with political commissars can reach the level of the Cody Company.

In fact, according to Yan Fangxu, who was in charge of the prisoner training, both Cody and Thadius performed the best among all the companies.

Yan Fangxu could only pick out seven teams of similar level.

Otherwise, if a group of prisoners who had just been disarmed and locked up for a short time were allowed to be divided into companies, how could they win the tough battle with heavy casualties that Cody and his team had encountered before?

It was considered good to work without putting in effort. If things went wrong, they might even run away with their guns in their arms. How could they fight to the death with casualties like now?

But despite this, in the current situation where there was a real shortage of people, Gu Hang still decided to transfer them all out.

Even if they did not perform as bravely as Cody’s company, or even far behind, as long as they could ensure reliable execution of orders during the battle and not escape too easily, that would be enough.

They only needed to hold on for a while, and reinforcements would arrive at the scene in an endless stream, even including patrolling Space Marines.

With such an arrangement, the safety of food distribution should be guaranteed.

What remains is a special strike.

Just responding is too passive. In addition to defense, we must also strike hard.

In this regard, the nuns of the Holy Lily of Mercy brought him good news.
