Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 410
Chapter 409, Who will judge? Governor Gu!
There is one thing that Blevins and his men are not sure about.
What would Martins think if he knew that they were not dead and had been wandering around for so many years, even becoming pirates?
They couldn’t believe the alliance.
So, there was a series of activities recently.
Of course, Blevins didn’t want to make the situation like this at the beginning. The best result is to sneak into the Angry Owl Star and secretly meet Martins.
But obviously, they don’t have this opportunity.
The current Angry Owl Star has a developed observatory, dedicated psychics on duty, a defense zone with the Fortress Starport as the core, and countless armed space stations and firepower platforms as auxiliary. The surface is also equipped with anti-orbital firepower that can cover the entire planet, and there are alliance fleets cruising outside…
With their current conditions, they really can’t sneak in.
They can only move around on the periphery, and as they move around, they become the current situation.
It’s not impossible.
…
Martins came much faster than expected.
Moreover, his movements are also much sharper.
Blevins didn’t want to be attacked by surprise, and he didn’t want the two sides to start fighting before he said a word. No matter which side had some people killed, it was a result he didn’t want to see.
However, Martins obviously wouldn’t be polite to him.
Blevins and others didn’t leave any clues. For them, the best effect is not to be discovered, and then they can take the initiative and contact Martins.
However, their idea soon went bankrupt.
Martins’ level is certainly not worse than theirs. Moreover, Martins still has a large number of troops to call on, not to mention the reliable soldiers of the Angry Bear Legion. Even those Saturnians, after the death of the governor, have to be driven by the real Emperor Angels under the banner of the Empire and under the coercion of the Alliance Army. They are locals and have a better understanding of the local situation.
Martins quickly found the abandoned landing spacecraft, and then according to the time of abandonment, according to the surrounding terrain, and based on his understanding of Blevins, he quickly locked some possible locations.
There are actually many possibilities, but it doesn’t matter. Martins is enough to mobilize manpower to explore and block every place.
Until someone witnessed the sentry that Blevins had set out.
The witnesses did not launch an attack. The order they received was just to conduct reconnaissance. If they saw something,
they just had to report the information back. The traitors did not take the initiative to launch an attack either, because it was meaningless. What would happen if they killed the witnesses? If there was a battle, death, or even just a disappearance, their hiding place would undoubtedly be exposed.
Let’s run!
The entire team quickly began to move.
However, they found that they were surrounded.
The team’s first decision was to fight their way out of the siege.
But this was not easy.
Even in their eyes, the Angry Bear Legion was considered a strong Star Army unit. It was not as difficult to break out of their encirclement as it was to kill the Planetary Defense Force of Saturn.
In the battle of the Red Arrow Galaxy, they were able to do it mainly because they caught the Alliance troops off guard. At that time, the Alliance Marines had no idea what opponents they were facing, and they were still fighting with the mentality of fighting regular pirates.
Even though there were some mortal elites wearing feedback power armor, when they were quickly broken through, they had no position, lacked anti-armor weapons, and could not open the cans, so they naturally ran away smoothly.
But now, the Alliance troops who came here are quite clear about what they might face.
The Angry Bear Legion has clearly had traces of hot melt weapons, plasma weapons, and heavy bolters, and is generally equipped with some armored vehicles. The most powerful is naturally the Lion tank.
These things are all capable of threatening the Space Marines. Any one of them, if it hits them, is fatal.
However, the damage they can cause is relatively limited. It’s okay to hit ordinary big-headed soldiers, but the Lion tank is not an ordinary tank made by some worlds. They now lack weapons to fight against this heavy Astra Militarum armor. The Lion’s armor cannot be penetrated by bolters, and the chainsaw sword cannot cut it open, but they can kill a Space Marine with one shot.
In the past thirty years, they have basically avoided such opponents when they saw them.
At the moment, if they really fight, it is not impossible to break through, but they may have to sacrifice some soldiers’ lives.
There are only eight of them, who would fight with such armed imperial regular army?
Seeing that the Star Army did not intend to shrink the encirclement, but only further strengthened the blockade, they roughly understood what the other party meant. They were
just waiting for Martins to arrive.
To be honest, they were very uneasy.
The original initiative was broken, and now they were lambs to be slaughtered.
It’s okay now, and they can even choose to break through the encirclement actively, even if half of them die, at least there is a chance. When Martins arrives with a bunch of new Phoenixes, they won’t even have a chance to run.
However, after weighing it, they still gave up this first reaction.
Forget it, stay here and wait for Martins to come.
Even if they choose to break through now, half of them will die. In this desert, how can they escape Martins’ pursuit?
In the uneasy waiting, Martins came.
Of course, he didn’t come alone, and there were fifty new Phoenix warriors with him.
In addition to the Phoenix, there are also a group of elite warriors. Although these people are just normal people in terms of body size, and not as visually oppressive as the big guys who are over 2.2 meters tall, they are definitely not easy to deal with. Each of them is wearing feedback power armor and carrying the logo of the Alliance.
There are hundreds of such people.
When this group of people, led by Martins wearing the Terminator, began to shrink the encirclement and approached their hiding place, every defector knew clearly that there was no need to fight.
Their next orders depended entirely on the results of the trial.
But despite this, they did not relax too much.
They set up a small defensive position at the entrance of the sand cave where they were hiding.
When Martins and his men approached here, a gun fired and the explosive bomb hit the open space on the route of Martins and others, which was full of warning.
Martins did not stop for a moment.
His roar penetrated the defense line through the breathing mask of his helmet.
“Blevins! I know you are in there! Get out and see me!”
The eight traitors were stunned.
It’s not that the shout was so terrifying, but… Big Brother, there are so many outsiders around, won’t you know everything with your shout?
Blevins himself was a little unprepared.
Am I not the stain of the Phoenix?
Why are you shouting so loudly?
Are you afraid that others don’t know?
Before they could react from their daze, Martins spoke again: “You betrayed the Empire, betrayed the Chapter, and betrayed all the brothers who sacrificed in the Expedition of Atonement! You traitors! Deserters! How dare you appear in front of me! Get out and die!”
…
A traitor said to Blevins next to him: “Why don’t you get out quickly? If he continues to shout like this, the face of the Chapter will be lost.”
After saying that, he himself felt a little embarrassed, as if Martins was the one who betrayed.
Blevins didn’t expect this.
Even just now, he imagined that Martins only brought the Phoenix Space Marines to the cave entrance, and then just had a secret conversation in a circle inside the Chapter. Regardless of whether the outcome of the talks was life or death, at least the matter was resolved within the regiment.
He never thought that he, a traitor, still thought that family disgrace should not be made public, but Martins was howling all over the world!
Helpless, he could only walk out. He
did not bring any weapons, because it made no difference.
Under Martins’ gaze, he stepped forward step by step, making a friendly gesture: “I want to talk to you…”
But what greeted him was Martins’ fist! The power
armor deliberately stomped on the ground with a bang, and Martins came to him quickly and punched him in the face.
The output of the Terminator power armor was so great that it directly hit him in the head. When he came to his senses, he was already lying on the ground, with Martins’ foot on his chest.
He reached behind Blewins’ head with both hands, pressed a buckle on the back of his head and on both sides, and took off Blewins’ helmet by forcing it upward, revealing the face underneath.
It was a vicissitudes of life.
Martins also took off the mask of the Terminator armor, and the two finally looked at each other face to face.
There was a complex expression in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by anger:
“Blevins, it is you…” Martins lowered his head, and the two faces came closer: “Why didn’t you die in Carlocaster?”
Blevins smiled: “Die? Why?”
“You, and those cowardly traitors in the cave, you are a disgrace to the regiment if you are alive!”
“Yes, we are a disgrace. But are we the ones who should be ashamed? The Expedition of Atonement! The Expedition of Atonement! That means we are all going to die! Why? Why? Hasn’t the Phoenix made enough contributions in these countless years?! Why do we all become one faction just because of the Bauhinia Rebellion?”
“What’s more, was Bauhinia wrong? Were we wrong? Wasn’t it Iron Armor who
was wrong?” “Why are we wrong? Because we lost the fight? Losing is wrong, right?”
Blevins roared these words, making Martins even more angry.
He punched him again.
Blevins’s head was immediately broken and bleeding.
But Martins was holding back.
Otherwise, the n*ked head would be smashed into a rotten watermelon under the heavy punch of the Terminator, even the skull of a Space Marine, which is much harder than that of an ordinary person.
After shutting Blevins up with a punch, Martins said, “There is no point in quibbling, Blevins. I am not here to talk to you about the past today. I am here to cleanse the shame of the Chapter and bring justice to you damn traitors!”
“Whatever you say, winning is right anyway, and now you have won.”
Blevins said with blood all over his face, but after a moment, his expression turned hesitant, even with a little pleading: “You can do whatever you want to me, judge me, and I will accept any verdict. All sins are my fault, but the others… let them go, they were all bewitched by me in the beginning, and now they can return to the Chapter, they are all the best warriors…”
“When did you learn to daydream?” Martins said, “Phoenix is always the most loyal hero. We accepted the judgment of the Empire, we survived the Atonement Crusade, we endured every test given to us by the Emperor, and paid countless prices for it. Now we have cleansed everything, and you cowards who became deserters in the Atonement Crusade, gave up honor, and betrayed your blood relatives, dare to dream of continuing to be with us? It’s ridiculous!”
“Heh…” Blewins sneered, but he couldn’t say anything else about this matter.
However, he had not forgotten the most important thing for this meeting.
“But I still want to warn you that we are not the only ones who are not dead.”
“What do you mean?”
Blewins lowered his voice and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear: “Zhong Jihua and others are still alive. They believe in Chaos and merge with other traitors. Now, they call themselves ‘Ashes of the Dead’…”
Hearing this, Martins was shocked.
“The dead in ash…are they from Zhong Jihua’s gang?”
“Yes.”
It took Martins a while to digest this information.
He said to Blevins sarcastically, “It seems that there is a difference between you traitors, right?”
Blevins turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood: “Whatever you say.”
Martins grabbed the upper edge of his breastplate and lifted him up, then turned his head and shouted to the cave entrance: “The rest of you, come out! Put down your weapons, take off your armor, and surrender unconditionally. I will take you all back to the monastery of the regiment.”
“You will be interrogated there, and you must truthfully explain every crime you have committed after your shameful betrayal of the Empire and the regiment. Then, you will be judged fairly and pay the price for the more than 30 years of atonement expedition you missed, for your desertion, and for all the new crimes you have committed after leaving the regiment.”
Blevins said with difficulty, “Don’t do those empty words, you are the commander of the regiment now, just say what you want to say, otherwise who else is qualified to judge all this?”
“Governor Gu.”
“…Ah?”
Blevins was confused.
