Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 360

360. Chapter 359, Heart of Stone

Gu Hang’s current actions are all to create more time windows for Team A’s actions.

The core of their action this time is to destroy the void shield and the evil cannon.

Although, even if these two things are destroyed, the problem of Fino City has not been solved, and new evil cannons and void shields will soon be “born” by Fino City.

But this takes time.

Without the protection of the void shield and the counterattack of the evil cannon, the free-handed Imperial Navy is enough to bring destruction to Fino City before the new void shield and evil cannon come out.

This is Gu Hang’s entire plan.

In theory, if he personally leads the team to do the task of destroying the void shield and the evil cannon, it should be the fastest.

But unfortunately, it’s not possible.

If he leaves at this moment, I’m afraid that Gowaga will immediately discover the abnormality of Fino City.

After all, only he can use the magic sword to block the two worlds and isolate the transmission of information.

He is now so busy that he is flying.

The demons and cultists in this space knew almost everything they should know about the incident in the central nest of Fino City.

They kept trying to pass this information to the subspace.

This was originally very simple, just a thought. The master of this subspace that was integrated with Fino City, the Great Unclean One Gowaga, could sense the thoughts of these lower-level demons and learn about the situation.

And what Gu Hang did was to intercept all these thoughts with the magic sword.

This is a huge workload, but fortunately, the only outlet for the information is Tomlinson, the “Meat Mountain” who was killed by Gu Hang. Gu Hang blocked here, and all the information had to pass through him.

Just blocking it is not enough. Otherwise, Gowaga didn’t receive a message for a long time and was directly “disconnected from the Internet”, and he would definitely know that something was wrong immediately.

Therefore, Gu Hang would also compile some “thoughts” to disguise them as normal situations to deceive Gowaga.

This part of the work is also very complicated and tiring.

These “thoughts” woven by him were extracted from the existing intercepted parts and transformed.

Some places are illogical, some places seem strange, and some places are even inconsistent with the actual situation.

After all, there are so many of them here, and Gu Hang is not a god, and he can’t be perfect.

But the Great Unclean One is not a god either – oh, it may be considered, but it is obviously far from omniscience and omnipotence.

It is impossible for that big devil to carefully distinguish and listen to all the information at all times. In addition, whether it is a demon or a cultist eroded by the whispers of the subspace, their minds are not very clear, they are confused and crazy, and some strange and illogical content is also normal.

Gu Hang tried his best to maintain the balance here.

Gowaga will eventually find out, he is just delaying this time as much as possible.

This is not easy, not to mention that there is something that keeps interfering with him.

That is Tomlisson.

That is, before this, he used the thunder spear to flatten the “meat mountain”.

That guy, of course, is still dead.

Tomlisson is essentially a powerful sorcerer. His master is the great demon Gowaga, who has a twisted but very strong soul. The changes in his body are caused by the erosion of the subspace, which is just a superficial phenomenon.

Under Gu Hang’s thunder, his body was completely destroyed and his soul was torn into countless pieces.

This is definitely a dead end in every sense,

but it is precisely because Gu Hang replaced his position, holding the magic sword and blocking this place that Tomlisson’s broken soul fragments could not dissipate and surrounded Gu Hang.

Under normal circumstances, Gu Hang would have sent these fragments away at will, but now, most of his energy is on intercepting and fabricating information, and he can’t spare his hands. But

fortunately, this influence is not critical.

It’s just that some illusions will appear in front of his eyes from time to time.

These illusions are basically the most impressive ones in Tomlisson’s past life experiences.

There was a scene when Tomlisson was young and he saw his father being beaten to death in the street.

That year, there were some problems with the imperial taxes that Fino City had to pay. The human taxes were enough, but the material taxes were a little less, so all the factories stopped paying food wages, saying that they had to pay taxes first, and the employees’ owed would be paid later.

The Tomlinson family, whether it was his father, his mother, or the nine-year-old him and his five-year-old sister, all lost their wages – he and his sister were working as child laborers.

Once they were owed, it would be a month.

People in the Lower Nest District of Fino City were struggling on the starvation line. If they stopped working, they would starve to death if they stopped paying their wages for a month. So, with no other choice, he followed his father to steal, but was caught. His father tried to stop him from running, but he was beaten to death.

Hiding in the corner, he engraved this scene deeply in his mind.

Later, his mother died soon – she gave food to him and his sister and was starved to death.

The second scene was a n*ked corpse.

That was his sister who he had raised since she was a child. At the age of seventeen, she ignored his advice and followed a man from the middle-class district. A month later, the n*ked body was thrown on the street. After the guards figured out the identity of the body, they notified him to collect it.

The third scene shows him saying goodbye to his family.

That year, Tomlinson was 27 years old, and the imperial tax was imposed on him. His life had just improved, and he and his wife had formed a family. His eldest son was three years old, and his youngest daughter had just been born. He himself worked hard and got a chance to be promoted. But the imperial tax was supreme, so he had to follow it.

He could only comfort himself that if he paid the imperial tax, his family would be exempted from part of the tax in the future; he could also get a subsidy.

The fourth scene shows him lying in a field hospital.

At that time, he was already an officer. After being levied the imperial tax, he boarded a starship and was sent to the Jinguan star region to join a logistics slave team of the Star Army. After 29 years of fighting, he first became a regular on the battlefield, and then made many meritorious deeds and was promoted to an officer. At the same time, he also spent half of his life from youth to old age on the battlefield against the green-skinned orcs.

Compared to his fellow soldiers who had been replaced one after another, he was lucky to have survived for 29 years. But today, his luck ran out. He lost a leg and an arm on the battlefield.

But he was lucky enough to be rescued in the field hospital.

His achievements and medals gave him the opportunity to choose – to return to the rear and spend the rest of his life on the new colony, or return to his hometown.

He chose the latter.

He was one of the few people who could return to his hometown on a supply transport ship. He had many medals that he had won with his life, the most outstanding of which was a medal of bravery, which was still very valuable.

After returning to his hometown, he was assigned a government position in his hometown of Fino at his request. The first thing he did when he returned was to find his family.

This was the fifth scene, still a n*ked body, but it was just an old photo.

That was his little daughter, who was found dead on the street at the age of seventeen. It was said that she was attacked by a mob, and her death was almost exactly the same as her aunt. The photo was the case information retained by the police at the time.

His eldest son was levied as an imperial tax in the twenty-second year after he left Koroja, and a death notice was sent back only three years later. His wife died of depression two years ago due to years of overwork, and her relatives died.

All this made him collapse.

He never had any good feelings towards the so-called empire. His family when he was young was destroyed by the imperial tax; his own family was also destroyed by the imperial tax. After joining the army, he once believed the propaganda of the political commissar and the military chaplain, believing that the emperor was supreme and protected mankind; that he was fighting for the empire and all mankind, sacrificing his life for a higher level and greater interests, and he had no regrets about it.

But after returning home, the sense of disillusionment made him unable to get out of it.

This is the sixth scene: he smashed his warrior medal fiercely. It was also from this moment that he could hear the affectionate call of his father.

The lies of the false emperor and the corrupt and dirty system of the empire made him feel sick.

He completely devoted himself to the holy father, and began to preach secretly as a low-level official and established the Eternal Life Sect.

He sincerely believed that Koroja needed to change and could not go on like this, and the people at the bottom would never have peace.

He also sincerely believed that it was a wonderful thing to drive out the beliefs of the false emperor, dissolve the ruling system of the empire, and let all people enter the warm and eternal embrace of the father.

He worked tirelessly on this cause for fifty years.

And now, his career is finally about to blossom and bear fruit.

But he met Gu Hang, the terminator.

…

Tomlinson’s life does look miserable.

But Gu Hang is a heartless person in this matter.

He did not change his mentality at all, even though many illusions flashed in front of him.

First of all, Tomlinson’s experience is not classic or representative in Koroga. It’s not because his life is not miserable enough, but because he is actually very lucky.

The death of both parents and the tragic death of his sister are very miserable, but many people in Koroga have experienced these, and there are many who are even more miserable. Moreover, most of them can’t get to the step of getting married, having children, getting promoted and getting a raise.

99.99% of the population that was paid as imperial taxes could not come back alive. Not only did he survive 29 years in the war and become an officer, but he also retired alive and returned to his hometown… This is already extremely lucky.

His wife died in her fifties, long before the average life expectancy of Koroja was 36 years old; his daughter died tragically, of course; his son was taxed, and Koroja would have to take away about 700-800 million people every two years, so it was not surprising that he was taxed the most.

If even he had to complain, then everyone in Koroja must be miserable.

But then again, if a person with very good luck could end up like this, what would a person with normal luck be like? It is

no wonder that the Immortal Cult could grow and develop, and no wonder that there were dozens of hives on Koroja, and the base areas of each hive had collective riots every now and then, and the plague spread rapidly.

If Gu Hang, who had traveled through time, had been in such an environment from the beginning, he would definitely have been thinking about rebellion.

Individual tragedies are very moving, but for a ruler like Gu Hang, he can see that what is reflected behind this is a systemic problem.

He would solve the problem on Koroja, which might be a more difficult task than the current war, but he was confident that he had a complete solution, but everything would need to wait until the demon invasion disaster on Koroja was generally stabilized before it could be implemented.

First, we had to ensure that the entire planet would not become a demon cave, and that billions of people would not become zombies, before we could talk about anything else.

As for the fragments of Tomlisson’s soul, the many illusions generated in front of Gu Hang’s eyes, in his view, they were just some insignificant ravings left by a madman who was defeated by reality.

Gu Hang would not let it become a factor that hindered him from completing his mission of saving Koroja.

He had no time to deal with these illusions, nor did he need to deal with them. He just watched indifferently, not paying any attention to them, wholeheartedly blocking the transmission of information, and weaving false information to deceive Govaga

, but… it seemed that Govaga had become suspicious.

…

“We lost seven warriors and have completed the task of attracting the defenders.”

Lacrosha’s voice was transmitted to Martins’ ears through encrypted reliable communication.

Later, Ms. Grit also sent her message.

“My sisters and I are in place.”

“Okay.” After Martins gave a reply, he took a deep breath and ordered: “Everyone charge!”

Behind him, three Warhound-class Titans, which were separated by a certain distance, broke out of silence and began to run forward at full speed.

The 15-meter-tall “War Dog” almost hit the top of the blood and flesh nest with its head.

Nine knight mechas followed closely behind.

Around these behemoths, hundreds of elite warriors from the Phoenix, Holy Lily, and Fang Battalion were scattered among them.

In front of them was a wall of flesh and blood.

The bombs that had been installed on it blew up the wall. Amid the flying flesh and blood, three Titans rushed over. The few remaining walls could not stop the impact of the Titans at all, leaving three large pits.

Behind this wall, there were a large number of demons. They turned their backs to the direction where the Titans were rushing, and their attention was almost completely attracted by the target in front of them who was fiercely exchanging fire with them.

The sudden attack from behind caught them off guard.

Many demons turned around, and as a result, their souls were flying out one by one – demons can also be afraid.

The plague stitched corpses and rotten meat monsters, who had no brains, were just stunned for a moment: How did the wall behind them break? What are these three iron lumps that are bigger than themselves rushing in?

Those with brains, such as Plague Bearers and Plague Wizards, were terrified.

They knew that this was going to kill them.

But what could they do?

Just die.

The Titans opened fire.

The Hellfire missile launchers on their shoulders fired half a round of missiles in an instant. 18 Hellfire missiles covered a large area in front. The

large-yield Hellfire missiles have extremely strong destructive power, and the damage effect is exaggerated. All targets in the central area of the explosion will be destroyed by the shock wave of the explosion and the high temperature and high pressure. At the same time, with the big explosion, the hot melt powder splashed and burned violently. Any material that was touched, even if it was just a little bit, would quickly burn out a huge pit.

If it was a human-sized thing, it would be burned directly; even for a few rotten meat beasts and plague giant toads, if they were touched too much, they would be melted all over.

With their strong vitality, they might not be burned to death immediately, but the hot melt dust that can release extremely high temperatures without open flames is like a miniature hot melt bomb, which will burn them sooner or later.

In this area, 18 Hellfire missiles formed a purgatory-like scene.

But the three war dogs still did not give up so easily.

In addition to the missile nest at the back, there are two main guns on the waist of the war dogs – or on both sides of the head. One is a hot melt gun and the other is a kinetic cannon.

The three Titans kept moving forward while maintaining the rhythm of shooting.

Whether it was a large-caliber kinetic heavy gun or a hot melt gun, the large monsters in the edge area of the previous Hellfire missile bombardment suffered one by one.

It was nothing more than a different way of death. Those

bombarded by the kinetic cannon were shattered, and those bombarded by the hot melt cannon melted into a ground of red flowing debris, until they finally cooled down to gray and black.

Suddenly attacking from behind, taking the lead, the three Titans opened fire at full power, and suddenly disintegrated the resistance of these demons.

Then, as the Titans broke into the big hole, nine knight mechas followed closely, and more elite infantry units also rushed in.

The eight-meter-high knight mechas, although not as powerful as the Titans, are still not to be underestimated; even the Phoenixes and Fangs, the grenade launchers in their hands can cause devastating blows to some monsters of regular size.

They chased the demons in front of them and pursued them relentlessly.

On the other side, the team of dozens of people led by Lakrosa to attract the enemy’s attention also launched an attack.

The surviving demons, who lost their battle formation and their will to fight, began to collapse.

The human army drove these demons and strode towards their final target, which was the demon engine that supported the existence of the void shield.

Everything was so smooth that Martins felt that Ms. Grit should not be arranged to lead an additional team as a backup.

They were about to attack from the front, and the demon engine was already within reach.

As long as it entered the firing range, the three Titans, with their heavy artillery, would be able to paralyze it with one round of firepower, and two more rounds would make it impossible to repair it.

The void shield generator could not produce a void shield to protect itself, and there was no need for it under normal circumstances.

In fact, they had already arrived.

It was a closed space, surrounded by a circle of flesh and blood walls. But there were still a steady stream

of monsters coming out of it, as if they were squeezed out of the flesh. The demons that had been killed by them before also regrouped here.

These chaotic monsters were certainly not particularly orderly guys. The demon army always had similar situations, and they would scatter when they were beaten, either running away or rushing in without thinking.

And to organize them, a sufficiently strong individual was needed.

Now, it seemed that such an individual existed.

Martins saw a monster about two and a half meters tall, with pus all over his body, shouting something. The demons around him were very afraid of him and did not dare to disobey his orders. The monsters that squeezed out from the flesh and blood wall behind him were undoubtedly all obeying his orders.

He was the leader.

Having made his judgment, Martins took action.

He raised his left arm and the heavy-bomb minigun violently blasted the metal storm towards the monster.

At the same time, his order was also transmitted to several knight mechas. The machine guns they were equipped with, along with Martins’ firepower, covered it.

The three war dogs continued to advance as planned, and one of them sent a hot melt cannon to that position.

This was an absolutely overflowing firepower bombardment, nothing could… huh?

Amid the dead and wounded, a yellow-green figure rushed out quickly.

It was the monster.

And at this moment, it held a rusty big sword in its hand.

Martins immediately felt bad.

He realized what this thing was – Chaos Army Front!

This is a powerful demon that has evolved with the great grace of the evil god. It is said that if it grows up again, it will become a great demon – the plague demon, which is the Great Unclean One.

And this level of monster has a most notable feature: distorting the law.

In places where the power of the subspace is dominant, this powerful demon has a special ability. Under its will, physics, science, and even reason and thinking will be distorted.

It will ignore the power of technology and ignore physical damage. Bullets and artillery fire were not completely useless, but the damage would be greatly reduced.

There were only two things that could truly and effectively deal a fatal blow to it.

The first was psychic power.

But the Governor was not here.

The second was will.

And the manifestation of this was close combat. With swords, punches, and the fiery will of the warriors, you could defeat it and kill it.

Otherwise, it would turn into a terrifying killing machine that no one could stop.

But the nearest Warhound Titan did not understand this.

The secondary gun mounted on its arm fired fiercely at the little monster that dared to charge towards it, and the metal storm instantly tore through the air.

However, the Chaos Vanguard only paused for a moment. The large-caliber machine gun that was normally enough to destroy a flesh and blood body of this size was like a tickle, not to mention that most of the ammunition was deflected to one side by a strange force and did not hit it at all. At

the same time, the Nurgle Vanguard had already arrived at the Titan’s feet.

The energy shield equipped by the Titan flickered slightly, and then the army spearhead was let in.

The operators of the War Dog Titan already felt something was wrong. The huge war machine bent down and swept with a heavy punch, but was dodged by the Plague Army Spear.

Then, the greatsword in its hand slashed fiercely on the ankle of the War Dog Titan.

With Martins’s eyesight, he clearly saw that the steel at the ankle of the War Dog Titan, which should have been extremely tough, was quickly stained with rust in an instant, as if it had experienced countless years of destruction and became fragile, and then it was cut off by the greatsword.

The huge Titan, its body tilted with a loud bang.
