Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 244

Chapter 244: The Knights

Wang Qi is not the kind of woman who gets scared when she sees blood.

Although she is a businessman, she has seen a lot of blood.

After being pushed into a house by Lacroxia and dodging the first round of bullets, she immediately stood up, found a window from the side, observed the battle outside, and was ready to support at any time.

She is not powerless.

Wang Qi once took time out to experience two months of professional military training. Of course, that didn’t make her a qualified soldier, but at least she knew how to shoot.

In addition, she has a skill that is much stronger than ordinary soldiers: she is rich.

Her two earrings, plus the pinky rings on her little fingers, together form a miniaturized shield generator. After full power, it can provide three hours of protection and can withstand the direct bombardment of three 155 howitzers.

Shield generators are already very expensive, but the one in Ms. Wang Qi’s hand is many times more expensive than ordinary shield generators.

Generally speaking, a shield generator device may be as big as a car; but this set has achieved the ultimate in miniaturization. It can be constructed with only super-small things such as earrings and rings, and it is not out of place to wear them when attending a banquet in an evening dress.

Obviously, this thing is definitely not something that can be mass-produced. In fact, this is a fine product made by a casting master using very high-end equipment and taking a long time to create. In addition, there are also special jewelry masters who have made exquisite designs for it to ensure that it is still beautiful, elegant and high-end without affecting its functionality.

Moreover, this miniaturized shield generator has a very important special effect: it will automatically trigger when it detects a threat, which is to prevent the owner from being unable to react when being attacked and being finished before the shield generator has time to play its effect.

From these perspectives, it can be imagined how high the value of this set of earrings and rings will be.

In addition, she also pulled out a weapon tied to the inside of the skirt of the evening dress at the thigh.

This is a flintlock rifle. The ebony exudes a slight fragrance. There are hollow carvings on it, which are filled with gold, revealing a high level of craftsmanship.

It is indeed more like a retro craft than a weapon.

But in fact, this ancient flintlock rifle can be loaded with four bullets at a time. No matter what material the loaded bullets are made of, the first four bullets fired every day have powerful psychic power. After contacting the shooting target, they will produce a violent psychic explosion. The power of a single psychic explosion bullet even exceeds that of a heavy bolter.

However, she is not so arrogant that she can really survive this crisis with these things.

In fact, it can be seen that the core goal of this whole set of things on her body is to defend against assassination.

Ms. Wang Qi has never put herself in an absolutely dangerous situation. When the first wave of assassins’ attacks was blocked by the shield generator, the psychic flintlock rifle gave her a certain means of counterattack. As long as there is a slight delay, the elite bodyguards who should always be not far from her will quickly arrive and eliminate the threat.

It should be like this under normal circumstances.

But at this moment, it is obviously not a normal situation. What she has to face is not an assassination, but a real war.

No matter how powerful the shield generator is? It can block three 155 howitzers when facing an assassination, which is simply a wall of sighs, but in a war, it will explode in a short time if several machine guns and rifles are fired at it. Not to mention, the shield generator is like the void shield, which is very insensitive to slow approaching objects. Bullets cannot break it, but if a person approaches with a knife, the shield generator will be useless.

In war, there are too many things that are much more dangerous than assassination.

And why did the situation on Black Arrow Star turn into a war?

That started a few days ago.

Wang Qi and her fleet came all the way here after leaving Angry Owl Star. Black Arrow Star is a planet still in the feudal era, with a population of 400 million and dozens of feudal kingdoms of various sizes. Among them, the seven most powerful ones form the King’s Council, and every few years, one of them will be selected to become the governor, responsible for communicating with the imperial departments.

From this perspective, the power of the governor of Black Arrow Star is quite small. Just doing a docking job, whether the tax can be collected depends on whether the various kingdoms cooperate – of course, usually they cooperate. Those who don’t cooperate will be beaten. Even if it is a big kingdom, they don’t want to bear the wrath of the empire, and they will also be questioned by other countries.

There will definitely be many conspiracies and tricks around this mechanism. For example, the governor pits other kingdoms, or other kingdoms pit the kingdom that is currently the governor…

But Wang Qi doesn’t pay attention to these things. There are countless worlds within the empire, with different levels of science and technology, economic foundations, and political ecology. Who has time to infiltrate so many?

Wang Qi is concerned about most of the kingdoms on Black Arrow Star, which have a very good relationship with Gu’s Chamber of Commerce. This relationship is so good that the family meetings of Gu’s Chamber of Commerce in recent decades have all been held on Black Arrow Star. The seven local kingdoms all welcomed their arrival and fully supported the series of activities of the Gu family conference.

This time was no exception – at least not at the beginning.

Currently, the governor of Black Arrow Star is the king of Luman Kingdom, Ness Luman. This is the third largest country on the planet, and the venue for the conference is also chosen in the capital of this country, Pinsel City.

The entire city of Pinsel is decorated with lights and colors, and this event is held as a grand festival.

In recent days, after the leading figures from the fourteen major caravans of the Gu Chamber of Commerce arrived one by one, one public or private banquet after another began.

Wang Qi has been preparing for many years to compete for the position of head of the family, and now it is just the final step. Although she can feel the struggle of her late husband’s cousin, that guy jumped up and down and did a lot of things, and even tried to disrupt the rhythm by holding a family meeting in advance.

But these are not of much significance.

Before the family meeting officially began, through banquets and private conversations, Wang Qi further consolidated and confirmed the relationship between the allies.

She still had a firm grip on four of the fourteen caravans, and the other four were her staunch allies. When the meeting began and the voting began, she, with eight votes in her hand, would almost certainly be able to push her son to the position of head of the family.

Then, two days before the meeting, at the end of a dinner party, the deafening sound of gunfire and shouts of killing reached their ears.

Wang Qi realized almost immediately that Gu Ming was desperate.

After being reminded by her son, she has consciously guarded against this problem. The standard security force around her has been tripled; everyone has become highly alert; she reminded all the caravan lords to pay attention to and be careful of this problem, and asked them to double the security force while maintaining the highest level of security standards.

In addition, the caravan ships in the sky are also always ready to fight to avoid sneak attacks and surprise attacks; the expeditionary corps assigned to her by Gu Hang has also been transported to a small town on the outskirts of Pinsel through the process of exchanging caravan supplies.

Wang Qi hid their tracks as much as possible, but she also knew that it would be difficult for an army of nearly 30,000 people to be unnoticed.

But exposure also has its advantages, and it is also good to form a deterrent: I have an army outside, you should be careful.

As long as there is no fight, it is good. After all, as long as it runs normally, she is likely to be the winner.

But Gu Ming still jumped out.

In fact, Wang Qi still couldn’t understand.

Indeed, if you don’t jump out, you can’t win. But what if you lose?

Although there has been internal competition in the Gu family since its establishment, up to now, in nearly three hundred years and five generations, there has not been a vicious bloody competition. This kind of thing may be common in other families, but the internal struggle of the Gu family has never deteriorated to this extent. More united than other chambers of commerce, this is one of the reasons why the Gu family can become so big.

If Gu Ming loses, the two sides have no other deep hatred and are still relatives. Wang Qi won the victory fair and square as the winner. There is no need and no possibility to kill him cleanly.

When the two meet, they may have to play the whole uncle-sister-in-law drama to show the unity of the family. For

such a Gu Ming, let alone being an idle rich man, even Wang Qi’s desire to deprive him of the chamber of commerce fleet he controls is not realistic.

Gu Ming retains his own power, and can retreat to become a mountain in the Gu Chamber of Commerce, or advance in the next cycle to continue to fight for the position of the head of the family.

But if he did this, it would be a bad start and completely break the rules. After the incident, there would be no possibility of a good ending.

Gu Ming would understand.

Therefore, even until the last moment, Wang Qi actually felt that Gu Ming might cause trouble, but the probability was really small.

But now, everything has happened, there is nothing to say.

Just use the preparedness.

The news of the outbreak of the battle was sent to the Angry Owl Star army in the suburban town; in the city, the security measures of each family were urgently deployed and mobilized; King Luman, who was currently the governor of the Black Arrow Star, was contacted as soon as possible to let him control the situation in his capital…

At this stage, Wang Qi’s mentality was still very stable. When she and her allies were sitting in the banquet hall, she even had time to lament twice, saying that Gu Ming could not do this, and there must be someone around him who was bewitched, sighing that Gu Ming was dizzy, and even discussing how to deal with this problem afterwards.

The situation outside did begin to improve. The security measures were effective and the surrounding area was under strict control. After hearing the report from the front, the army of the Kingdom of Luman also entered the city and controlled the situation in the city. The sound of gunfire and shouting also subsided.

Later, they were discussing how to catch Gu Ming and prevent him from running away after the situation calmed down.

But at this moment, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse in a very short time.

The key was that the army of the Kingdom of Luman, which was supposed to enter the city to quell the riot, lined up and came to where Wang Qi and others were, hoping to enter this area and take over the defense.

They said it very well. The situation in the city was unstable, and adding stronger troops for protection was a necessary measure.

But at this time, Lacroxia, who joined Wang Qi’s security team with a special team, raised strong objections.

Wang Qi also kept a watchful eye and did not let them get close.

Then, the Luman army, which came in a strict formation, launched a full-scale attack on them.

The productivity of the Kingdom of Luman remained at the feudal level, industrialization was very poor, and the main economic foundation relied on agriculture. But their army’s weapons and equipment are not too bad.

They can’t produce, or their production capacity is very weak, not enough to independently support the weapons needs of an army, but it doesn’t stop them from buying. They

have all the G5 and G6 series of individual weapons, cannons, and other things.

Of course, even so, their equipment level is still far behind the security teams of the wealthy Gu family.

But the only thing is the cannon, which is unreasonable to blast from a distance.

But if it is just the threat of artillery, it is still okay. Forming an elite force, rushing out, and destroying the artillery unit is an option. Gu’s security, almost all members are equipped with alloy plastic steel armor, laser guns, electromagnetic rifles, and hot melt bombs, plasma guns and other things. It is really difficult to stop the entire 100-man team from rushing out. However

, what is most unexpected is that the real killer of the Luman Kingdom has been dispatched.

Knights.

A feudal country, of course, is a feudal system. The king enfeoffed the lords, and the lords enfeoffed the knights, forming the ruling class: the nobility. And one of the core conditions for the nobility to be enfeoffed is to have their own “mounts”: mechas.

On the Black Arrow Star, there is a very speechless scene: the serfs use the planting technology of the Middle Ages, intensively cultivate the land, diligently and diligently, and hand over 90% of the harvest to their own lords, leaving only the most basic food for their stomachs; the knight master drives a mecha to patrol his farmland to ensure that the serfs are not lazy.

When necessary, the knights will obey the lord’s call, lead the serfs to transform into militia, and assemble under the lord’s flag to fight; the lords will obey the king’s call, lead their troops, and fight under the king’s flag.

This is the system of the Kingdom of Luman, and it is also the system of the entire Black Arrow Star.

Those poor and small knights may have a set of the most ordinary sentinel mechas passed down from their family for eight generations. This thing is not even recognized as a serious knight mecha in the imperial military sequence. But no matter what, it is also a mecha, with a height of about three and a half meters, fully covered with metal, and two fixed rapid-fire machine guns on the side with good power, and it is not afraid of bullets.

At least two hundred such sentinel mechas appeared in King Luman’s army;

at the same time, there were two real knight mechas, or what can be called knight titans.

[Ranger-class knight titan], with a height of six meters and two meters, a four-barreled rapid-fire heavy machine gun in the left hand, a gravity fist and a howitzer launcher in the right hand, and sixteen extended-range rockets on the back…

This thing is a bit scary.

The “Knights” of the Kingdom of Luman are the biggest threat. And it was this knight group that almost destroyed the defense position of Gu’s security.
