Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 258

258. Chapter 257, you guessed it, right?

Gu Hang was sitting in the headquarters of the Alliance Expeditionary Force in the suburban town and listening to the battle reports of the Phoenix Regiment and the Alliance Air Force.

To be honest, Gu Hang was the first person in the entire army to support the suburban town.

He was in the first batch to land on the spacecraft.

The commander of the army strongly opposed the governor’s decision – it was too dangerous. According to their thinking, the governor should not have come at all, and should have stayed safely on the Angry Owl Star.

If he had to “lead the army in person”, he should have stayed on a relatively safe starship and made plans. What’s the point of going to the front line in person?

However, Gu Hang only comforted these persuasions a little and did not listen.

Of course, he did not take his own life lightly, but he had strong self-confidence.

On the one hand, he was sure that since his cousin did not dare to fight in the starry sky when the Blade Tiger approached, nor did he dare to force the army of the Luman Kingdom to use orbital strike force to bombard the warships that had already arrived in the orbit of the planet, then they would most likely not dare to attack the landing ship.

What’s more, the location chosen by the landing ship also avoided the anti-aircraft firepower circle near the capital, which further guaranteed the safety during landing.

The other source of his self-confidence was his own strength.

Not only had he already been promoted to LV7 psychic, his strength had greatly improved compared to the past, but more importantly, the talents and characteristics he obtained after defeating the evil god, all these bonuses were taken into account, even if the landing ship he was riding really had an accident and was blown up in mid-air, he would still be able to land safely.

Including after landing on the landing ship, he left the assembly of the troops to the four division commanders, and he himself mobilized his psychic power and quickly flew to the suburban town.

It was faster than the wind falcon that needed to be pulled out of the landing ship!

It can be seen from this that Gu Hang seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, he was still somewhat anxious in his heart.

His arrival was of great practical significance.

With his current psychic strength, it might be a bit difficult to tear the Knight Titan alive from a distance – unless he tore open the rift of the Kingdom of God to strengthen his own psychic strength.

But if the Knight Titan dared to expose himself in front of him for a longer time, or if Gu Hang took a little risk, got closer and crossed the energy shield, then he could do it.

As for ordinary sentinel mechas, it was even more of a piece of cake. Gu Hang estimated that if he struck with a lightning beam, he would definitely kill one. And if the enemy made a dense charge, a chain lightning or a thunderstorm formed by psychic energy would be baptized.

After obtaining the [Storm Master], his psychic energy could be transformed into lightning, which was much more powerful than the previous use of telekinesis in terms of pure destructive power.

With Gu Hang in charge, the alliance side was equivalent to having an extra “artillery battalion”. Moreover, not only was the firepower fierce, but the key was also extremely accurate.

This is the direct help that Gu Hang can provide to the war situation.

And if the war really gets tense, he can also use his ultimate move – tear open the cracks in the Kingdom of God!

In that case, not only will his own psychic strength be greatly enhanced, but there are also thousands of heroic warriors in the Kingdom of God.

If that doesn’t work… the lesser god incarnation can be created. It still looks like a thunderstorm giant bear. Its strength is not as good as that of the big devil, but it has at least 30% of its ability. It can tear a knight titan with bare hands like tearing a toy.

However, the movement of these moves is too loud. It is true that he is a legal psychic, but he can tear open the cracks in the real world and summon the heroes of the real world to fight… This performance is too shocking. It is not something that ordinary psychics can do. If it is spread out, it will definitely attract the investigation of the Imperial Inquisition.

For the Imperial Inquisition, the identity of the planetary governor and the words of a legal psychic cannot be preserved. If they go crazy and insist on taking Gu Hang to the Eastern Universe’s General Court for investigation, then…

Gu Hang can only kill them and turn against the Court.

Otherwise, will he really go?

Of course, if this situation can be avoided, try not to happen. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will definitely not show a series of abilities to open the cracks in the Kingdom of God.

In fact, the battle situation has not reached that level at all.

The enemy did step up its offensive against the suburban town because of the arrival of the Angry Owl Star Army. They urgently replenished their troops and began to attack fiercely at the request of the commander-in-chief.

The troops under Perbov in the suburban town, although they did not run out of food, were at least running out of ammunition. Although Gu Hang’s arrival and public appearance boosted the morale of the alliance troops stationed in the suburban town, the objective conditions were still not subject to human will.

Gu Hang himself was also ready to take action, at least to form a storm with conventional psychic power to supplement the firepower of the alliance army.

But it was not used.

As soon as the enemy’s offensive began, it was abruptly interrupted by the landing Space Marines.

The artillery positions were wiped out by the Phoenixes, and the attacking Luman soldiers naturally could not continue to fight, and retreated in a panic, preparing to rescue.

Then, the Knight Titan, which had lost its shield generator and was used as a rocket turret in the distance, was also killed. The Space Marines retreated calmly under the cover of the Wind Falcon, and after getting away from the enemy, they boarded the fighter plane and flew into the suburban town.

When Gu Hang received the battle report first, he knew that he didn’t need to worry about the battlefield.

He said to his mother, who looked a little haggard and embarrassed, “My army has fulfilled its mission, right?”

Ms. Wang Qi no longer had the high attitude she often showed when she met Gu Hang in the past few times. She sighed: “Thanks to General Perbov and the Wrathful Star warriors he led, without their desperate fighting and their great sacrifice, I would definitely die here. If I am caught by Gu Ming, he will not let me go.”

Gu Hang sighed: “I didn’t expect that the Gu family, which has always been known for its unity, would come to such a point.”

“Didn’t you expect it a long time ago?”

“Precautions are one thing, and it’s another thing when things really happen. As for Gu Ming, what are you going to do after you catch him?”

“You haven’t caught him yet, are you so sure that he can’t run away?”

It’s normal for Wang Qi to ask this question.

The starship belonging to her can’t send a spacecraft to land in the suburban town to pick her up, but Gu Ming can.

Although Gu Ming’s fleet is small in number and at a disadvantage in space, the ground part has no orbital air defense system to attack his spacecraft. He has a good chance of evacuating by spacecraft.

Gu Hang doesn’t think so: “He can’t run away. The orbital anti-aircraft guns on the ground don’t belong to him.”

Wang Qi immediately understood what her son was referring to.

The orbital air defense system is essentially controlled by Ness Luhman. It is true that he is an ally of Gu Ming and will help him intercept Wang Qi’s spacecraft and prevent her from evacuating. But if Gu Ming wants to escape, Ness Luhman will probably not agree.

It was like abandoning him.

If this happened, Gu Hang judged that the two would most likely fall out.

Wang Qi also agreed with her son’s judgment.

As for the ground part…

Gu Hang also showed strong confidence in front of his mother: “In two days at most, the capital will be broken. As long as Gu Ming doesn’t run away on the spaceship, my army will definitely catch him.”

Wang Qi had no doubt about this.

The 30,000 troops led by Perbov were able to hold out here for eight days. During

these eight days, the opposing army did not stop at all and kept attacking. But he not only defended it, but also destroyed two Knight Titans of the Luman Kingdom in the previous battle.

And now, Gu Hang personally led the troops to support it. Not only are there 35,000 more people than Perbov’s team, but the number of Lion tanks is three times the original number of the expeditionary force, directly over a hundred. In addition, there are 100 Wind Falcons as the air force. With

such military strength, the Luman Kingdom has nothing to fight against. They might have been okay in their heyday, but in the past eight days of fighting, the Lumans suffered heavy losses. Ness almost lost half of the royal legion.

Even if he could convince the two so-called marquises to help him with all their strength, it would only restore the previous combat power.

But Gu Hang has something even more exaggerated: fifteen space marines.

Speaking of which, Wang Qi was completely unbelievable when she heard the news just now.

She had dealt with a war group called “Exterminator”, which was a ship-based war group without a home planet and mainly relied on a fleet.

When she led the team in person to replenish supplies for the “Exterminator”, they couldn’t afford to pay and asked her caravan to wait, and the money would be available soon.

At that time, the Exterminator was participating in a rebellion war. Wang Qi saw with her own eyes that after joining the war, the Exterminator defeated the imperial traitors on that planet like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. The fighting style of that war group was cruel and did not take mortal lives seriously. The killing and looting after the victory were done very cleanly, which matched their name very well.

But this is secondary.

After the victory of the war, the governor of that planet held a banquet to thank the Space Marines, but the exterminators who attended the banquet were all in armor and were not polite at all, asking the governor to pay for “supplies”. They

had finished fighting and needed supplies.

According to the exterminators, this was for the subsequent wars. They would embark on the journey again and rush to the next war, which of course required supplies.

They also needed population and weapons, replenished fleet sailors, and replenished mortal auxiliary troops; they needed to conduct a conscription on the planet, and needed a large number of young people to select new recruits through cruel escape and high mortality trials.

The exterminators listed the quotas for these things and asked the governor to provide them in full within a limited time. If they were not enough, they would come to get them themselves. If they dared to block them,

they would be regarded as rebels. The governor of that planet was unable to collect enough and hoped that the Space Marines would give them more time. But the exterminators started without saying a word. As they said, they could get them themselves.

Wang Qi saw all of this.

Some of the blood-stained spoils and “taxes” were what the Exterminators used to pay for supplies.

That contact left Wang Qi with a very deep impression of the Space Marines. She thought that the subsequent Exterminators would at least be reprimanded by the Empire, after all, they attacked and plundered an Imperial planet.

But in fact, they didn’t. The Exterminators walked away and headed for the next war, while the planetary governor was punished by the Empire instead.

The Space Marines are angels, but don’t forget that the prefix of the name “angel” is “death.” The Emperor’s mercy they bring is usually to send the targets who need mercy to the Emperor to experience it personally.

The time she visited the Angry Owl Star, she didn’t see the Phoenix.

At first, she thought it was a friendly force, an external reinforcement that her son had invited from somewhere.

But later, she found out that those Space Marines were actually following Gu Hang’s orders!

Wang Qi, who was implanted with fear of Space Marines and deeply felt that the Emperor’s angels were completely unacceptable and even better not to deal with, now saw fifteen Space Marines fighting for her son. It is conceivable how great the shock in her heart would be.

She was a little uneasy about this, but at least she recognized the fighting power of Space Marines.

With the assistance of these fifteen Angels of Death, victory in the war should be as her son said, without any problem.

Thinking of this, she looked deeply at Gu Hang’s face.

She didn’t understand that he could make Space Marines obey orders. She had hidden worries in her heart, but she had to admit that her son was really capable.

Then, the mother and son talked about business again.

The treatment of Gu Ming after he was captured or confirmed dead was essentially about how to reintegrate the family’s power.

Wang Qi didn’t want Gu Ming to live, but if there was a choice, it would be better to capture him alive. It would be best to capture him to Feiyi Star and publicly try and execute him.

However, this matter could not be forced. On the one hand, the guns and cannons on the battlefield are blind, and there is nothing you can do even if you die; on the other hand, as long as Gu Ming is alive, there will be variables.

If he is taken to Feiyi Star, Gu Ming still has a foundation, so there is no telling what will happen. Arrest, detention, trial, execution… There are still too many places to operate in this whole process. Once you enter the formal process, some things will be difficult to do.

Instead of being forced to kill him in prison or under house arrest when the situation changes, and bearing a bad reputation, it is better to end it directly on the battlefield.

Anyway, it was you, Gu Ming, who started it first. If you die, no one can say that Gu Hang and his mother are cruel.

As long as Gu Ming dies, coupled with the fact that he took the initiative to stir up armed turmoil and family coup, Wang Qi himself is the party that has received more support from the Gu Chamber of Commerce. It should not be difficult to completely control the power of the entire Gu family in the future.

After Wang Qi finished speaking about her thoughts, she asked her son, “What about you? What do you think about Black Arrow Star?”

Gu Hang smiled brightly, “Mother, didn’t you see that too?”
