Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 72

Chapter 72, Are you pretending?

From the Governor’s Camp to Fuxing City, it takes almost a whole day according to the speed of the infantry.

In the evening, the team arrived outside Fuxing City.

Fuxing City had long known about Gu Hang’s approach.

Gu Hang had no intention of hiding it, and he had made a lot of fanfare along the way, so it was a bit difficult not to be discovered. Fuxing City had too many means to know in advance.

If Fuxing City only counts the inner city, it is not large; but if the outer city is counted, the houses built by the poor in a disorderly manner occupy a large area.

When Gu Hang led the team to Fuxing City, he just stopped at the outer city.

An army blocked him.

It was the defenders of Fuxing City.

A large number of soldiers occupied the slums in front of the main gate. They stayed in the house, staring at the outside; there were tanks hidden in the houses, most of their figures were blocked by the short houses, but the black gun barrels were extended.

They blocked the Governor’s team from moving forward.

An officer, with several followers, came to the Governor’s team and asked to meet the Governor.

Gu Hang met him.

The Fuxing City officer saluted Gu Hang: “Good morning, Governor, I am Fuxing…”

“No need to report your name, I am not interested in knowing it. Tell me, why is my city blocking me from entering? Why are you soldiers who should be loyal to me standing against me?”

The officer whose self-introduction was interrupted swallowed his saliva.

He felt extremely nervous now.

He looked to the left and saw a giant with red armor. He knew that it was a Space Marine; he looked to the right and saw a lady in white and green armor. She was a combat nun. He looked to the middle again. That was his Governor, the supreme ruler of this planet.

He thought to himself, what virtue did he have to have the courage to speak in front of these legendary figures?

But he still spoke: “I am under the order of Lieutenant General Mondok, the garrison general of the Alliance Parliament and Renaissance City, to… request you to stop moving forward. The Governor wants to enter the city, but he is only allowed to bring no more than 100 guards, and… and they cannot include Space Marines and Sisters of Battle.”

Gu Hang seemed to have heard a super joke: “Mondok? Lieutenant General? He made a request to me?”

The officer seemed to realize how ridiculous his statement was just now. At this moment, he could only bow his head slightly and remain silent.

“Then.” Gu Hang said, “I am now telling you as the Governor of the Wrathful Owl Star that no matter what position or power the Mondok you are talking about had before, he no longer has it. He is no longer a member of the Alliance, nor is he the commander of the army. Now, take this news back to your comrades.”

Gu Hang had given the officer a chance.

But he did not seize it.

It can be seen that he was under great psychological pressure at the moment, but he still withstood it. He said: “I’m sorry, Your Excellency the Governor, but please listen to General Mondok…”

He couldn’t finish his words.

He felt a magical force strangling his throat.

Soon, he fainted due to lack of blood in his brain.

Releasing the power of telekinesis and letting his body fall to the ground, Gu Hang waved his hand, and a soldier came up to drag him away.

This officer was very courageous.

But his courage was misplaced.

Martins said at this time: “Governor, the situation is now very clear. Mondok, who calls himself a general, has behaved in a way that is tantamount to rebellion. Now all those standing in our way are rebels.”

“So, what do you suggest, Captain Martins? Should we kill all the ‘rebels’? Can seven Phoenix warriors do it?”

Martins really thought about it carefully, and then said: “It will be difficult to completely defeat this 10,000-man force with heavy firepower and armor just relying on the seven of us. I need the cooperation of the sisters of the Holy Lily, and the gunfire of the Quintet. At night, we can enter the target area, mark the orbital strike, and then the starship will strike first, and then we can go in for a mop-up. In this way, we should be able to complete the mission at a relatively small cost.”

Battle Sister However, Grit raised an objection: “I’m sorry, Captain Martins, I really hope to have another chance to fight side by side with the Phoenix again. However, our mission this time when we land on the surface is not to quell the rebellion, but to deal with the heresy. I will not participate in the task of combating the mortal rebels. Mr. Governor, please understand.”

Gu Hang was not disappointed, but instead showed a soothing smile: “I understand, of course I understand. Captain Martins’ plan is very appropriate. When I think all the enemies in front of me need to be eliminated, I will adopt your plan. But now, we don’t need to make things so complicated for the time being.”

“Then what do you plan to do?”

“Rest first. You are fine after a whole day of marching, but my soldiers need to rest to restore their combat effectiveness. As for the specific plan, I will tell you later. Please cooperate with me, and Sister Grit, tomorrow.”

Martins stared at Gu Hang for a moment, and finally nodded.

Grit also made a statement: “We will not massacre mortal soldiers, but we will provide necessary protection for you, Mr. Governor.”

“We are very grateful for being able to do this.”

…

In Renaissance City, Norris and Bradford were nervously waiting for news from the outer city.

When they learned that Gu Hang had already set off, and that he was actually accompanied by Space Marines and even Battle Sisters, the two businessmen among the Alliance members were already very panicked.

Feelings of regret filled their hearts, and they even raised objections when General Mondok decided to lead the troops to the outer city to deploy defenses.

But their opposition was weak, as always.

They could only watch Mondok stand in front of the governor and pray that no conflict would break out.

As a result, it really didn’t break out.

Governor Gu actually stopped outside the outer city obediently.

This is great news!

Bradford said: “It seems that we overestimated Gu Hang’s tough attitude. Perhaps, his previous toughness was all pretended.”

Norris said cheerfully: “At least, I can sleep well tonight. We really need a tough person like Mondok, he is doing a good job.”

“Yes.” Bradford said, “The crisis of war has been greatly reduced. Now, the only thing left is how to get that willful governor to stop playing the game of building camps outside and return to his rightful position as soon as possible.”

“Yes, as long as he comes back, everything will return to normal.”

“Just like the previous three governors.”

“Yes, we have countless ways to deal with him. What’s the point of dreaming of saving the world? The Angry Owl Star does not need him to save it. He just needs to be a governor honestly, live a comfortable life for two years, and then die peacefully after two years.”
