Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 49

Chapter 49, Battle Settlement

Gu Hang sat in an infantry fighting vehicle with a pale face, closing his eyes to rest.

He noticed the movement outside, but he was too lazy to care.

He had consumed a lot of energy in the previous battle.

The main reason was that he was hit head-on. [Spiritual Body Protection] blocked almost all the damage for him, but it also drained all his spiritual energy.

In fact, this is a very dangerous thing.

According to the education about psychic spells received in memory, the complete exhaustion of spiritual energy will bring uncontrollable consequences. Death, madness, mental abnormality, split personality… these are all possible.

After the battle, Gu Hang rested while checking his spiritual condition, and the result still made him feel relieved.

Those bad situations did not appear. The current symptoms are just some fatigue and a little headache. Generally speaking, after resting, it will get better.

But he still learned some lessons.

This time, it was still a little risky, so that he put himself in danger.

But thinking back carefully, Gu Hang didn’t think he did anything wrong. He is the governor, but he is really not to the point of not sitting in the hall for a thousand gold. His career is still in its infancy, so he has to fight for some things.

Just this time, he couldn’t find another psychic in his entire sphere of influence. If he didn’t come forward in person, there would be no way to solve this matter today.

He couldn’t let Yan Fangxu and the 3rd Battalion he led be trapped in the woods.

But the result this time must be good.

The original method of the Angry Owl Sect to give birth to and control so many monsters must not be easy, otherwise they wouldn’t still be rats in the gutter. After using this method and losing three powerful priests here, the loss must be quite painful.

Even before this, they should have been quite painful.

If I hadn’t asked Fuxing City to increase its efforts to investigate the cult and force them to jump off the wall, they wouldn’t have thought of paying the price to assassinate me.

That’s good, if you can’t deal with me this time, then wait for me to go to Fuxing City and expose all your old secrets.

…

After resting for a while, he felt that his condition had recovered a lot.

At this time, he was really energetic and came to count his gains.

This time it was a great victory. Although the loss was the largest in all the previous battles, the results were also great.

[Slightly in the upper hand, 86 points of grace were obtained]

[103 lost, 6597 eliminated, 0 prisoners]

[2nd Infantry Battalion: 77 lost, 4447 eliminated]

[3rd Infantry Battalion: 24 lost, 1613 eliminated]

[Marine Corps: 2 lost, 537 eliminated]

Just looking at the battle loss ratio, it was very beautiful, but Gu Hang was not happy at all.

Those who were eliminated were all brainless monsters.

If they acted according to Yan Fangxu’s strategy, in the next few months, they could almost burn the nests of these monsters one by one without any loss, instead of facing them at the same time after they were unified and catalyzed.

Not to mention bringing three storm priests to face them together.

A total of 103 soldiers were lost, of which the 2nd Battalion had lost more than 25%.

These casualties were mainly caused when the wind and fog were shrouded.

Two of the Marines he had just promoted to T3 were killed, all by the most powerful priest, which was the loss of the two points of grace he had invested.

The two normal infantry battalions, especially the 2nd Battalion, needed a large number of reinforcements.

The total population under Gu Hang’s jurisdiction is less than 6,000. Not counting the mechanical servant battalion, it also supported two infantry battalions with 600 people before, and the mobilization rate was over 10%. In fact, from the perspective of population composition, the pressure is already very high, not to mention that in addition to the army, Gu Hang also needs manpower for various rapidly expanding production lines.

The excessively high mobilization rate has affected production efficiency.

Especially for young and middle-aged manpower, there is a large gap in Feidong Society, which has become a constraint on development.

The shortage of the army requires another 100 people to be drawn from the manpower pool… It’s very weak. Gu Hang can already imagine that Patel, who is in charge of heavy industry production in Feidong Society, will definitely scratch his head.

That guy will not set any obstacles for the young men to serve as soldiers for the governor. In his heart, it is an honor and a defense of their labor. But after the reduction of manpower, how to maintain and even expand production is really a headache for him.

As for other costs… the textile factory has been opened, military uniforms can be produced by ourselves, and the relevant design drawings have been given to us; the alloy plastic steel production line can produce armored vests; firearms can recycle equipment left on the battlefield, or produce new ones. Even for soldier training, there is only 1 point of grace for 100 soldiers, so there is no problem.

The problem is still the population.

We still have to suck blood.

It is not easy to suck blood from the Quintet in the sky, and it is meaningless to suck low-end population. Gu Hang has other ideas for the female captain. There are talents he covets on the Quintet. To eliminate the original wrathful owl sect, or at least give them a hard blow, it also requires the help of the female captain, and it is also a reward for Ye Lixia, but this can be discussed later.

The rest are Renaissance City and Garbage Town.

Garbage Town is mostly full of adventurers who dream of getting rich. It is not ruled out that they have experienced ups and downs and now want to find an honest person… No, they want to live an honest life, but they can’t force it.

Fuxing City is a huge source, and Gu Hang doesn’t despise the refugees who can’t survive outside the city.

It’s unrealistic to eat hundreds of thousands of people all at once, but he now has enough jobs and plenty of food to feed a lot of people.

…

After thinking about the losses, the next thing is to gain.

86 points of grace, this is the biggest gain Gu Hang has made so far. It

‘s even more than the previous ones combined.

This makes Gu Hang feel like he’s “getting rich suddenly”.

The shadow of the huge casualties of the soldiers cast on his heart has been dissipated a lot because of this joy.

Among the 86 points of grace, it is estimated that more than 30 points were “contributed” by the three priests, and the strongest one alone gave more than 20 points.

The great priest, in terms of psychic strength alone, is even higher than Gu Hang.

However, in the application of psychic power, Gu Hang has the exquisite “soul cutting” inherited from the ancient family and the “spiritual body protection” given by the system, which is much stronger than the great priest who can only borrow the indigenous evil gods and use storm evil magic.

In other words, Gu Hang was able to win, firstly because of his powerful spells, and secondly because of his large number of people. In terms of spiritual strength, Gu Hang, who was only LV2, was not as good as his opponent.

It is only natural to give more gifts to such a strong enemy after eliminating it.

As for the remaining fifty points, they were the results of the more than 6,000 alien monsters killed by the soldiers.

Obviously, the lives of these monsters are worthless.

But the number is really huge. More than 6,000 of them died, which also gave Gu Hang a lot of gifts.

It’s a pity that the evaluation of the victory of the battle was only slightly superior, and the coefficient of the gifts obtained after the war was not large enough, otherwise there should be more room.

Next, it’s a question of how to spend this gift.

He happily called out the panel, and then saw an old thing flashing, and a new thing appeared.

What was flashing was the [Hero] panel.

What appeared was a new function called [Event].
