Chapter 103: A Smile with a Deep Meaning

Upgrade completed!

Feeling the sudden surge of spiritual power, Gu Hang was filled with confidence!

He even wanted to find a phoenix to fight with, if for no other reason than to test his current strength!

Of course, that's not feasible.

He and Phoenix are allies now, but their relationship is not that close.

Gu Hang could only give up with regret.

Speaking of the Phoenix Regiment, Gu Hang got along well with the commander of the Martins Regiment, but he was not so familiar with the rest. The main reason was that the Space Marines all looked like strangers and it was difficult to talk to them.

The only person Gu Hang had a good impression of was Pastor Rizzo. He was an old bald man with a white beard and a kind face - although it was a bit strange to use the word "kind face" to describe an old soldier who had served for four hundred years and had countless blood on his hands.

Although Gu Hang didn't meet him very often, every time he saw him, he would smile at him.

I always feel that there is some deep meaning in the old pastor's smile.

…

Martins always felt that there was something wrong with the way Pastor Rizzo looked at the Governor.

After receiving the mission request from Governor Gu, he accepted it without any hesitation.

Ignoring Schneider's request to fight, he asked the bald man to stay in the outer city and continue to coordinate the security work of the food distribution points in the entire outer city area.

Of course Schneider was dissatisfied, but obeying orders was instinctive, so he could only keep his dissatisfaction to himself.

Then, Martins, his two brothers, and Pastor Rizzo rushed to the inner city.

When they were meeting up and making preparations before departure, he saw the eye contact between Pastor Rizzo and Governor Gu, and he couldn't help but become curious.

As they were the closest fighting brothers, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Martins directly asked the questions in his mind.

Rizzo just smiled at him and said, "We came to this world to seek the help of the Governor, right? We should always be nicer."

"Well……"

Martins was speechless when he heard Rizzo say that.

I asked such a sincere question, but the old pastor just gave me a perfunctory response?

Is there any secret here that you can't tell me?

He wanted to ask more, but Rizzo beat him to the punch: "Why didn't you let Schneider come this time? Why did you have to come here in person? Because..."

As he spoke, the old bald man with a white beard winked at Sister Grit who was not far away.

Martins was too busy to care about anything else and became embarrassed: "What do you mean?"

"Hahaha!" Rizzo laughed and patted Martins on the shoulder.

He successfully changed the subject.

This slippery old man!

He didn't have time to ask any more questions, the action was about to begin.

Four Space Marines, nine Sisters of Battle, twenty-eight elite Marines, and the undermanned 2nd Battalion led by Perbov...

Although this organization does not have a particularly large number of people, it is the most elite small-scale action team that Gu Hang can currently come up with.

They sat in many military vehicles and drove towards the outer city.

These military vehicles were also captured from the Alliance Legion. The IR Iron Bull series produced by Feidong Society has just entered the mass production stage, and the output is not large. At most, a convoy is organized to transport synthetic starch from Weixing City, and it is directly used in Fuxing City.

This so-called Weixing City is the initial camp. Gu Hang recently gave it an exact name. It is a double entendre, which can be said to be a satellite city of Fuxing City, or it can be interpreted as "protecting the results of revival".

However, although the IR Iron Bull series is not yet in use, the original military vehicles are sufficient.

The battle sisters were fine, but the four Space Marines' huge bodies made it a bit difficult for them to fit into the caravan, which was also a challenge to the vehicle's carrying capacity.

It is necessary to suffer this pain.

Their action this time was to behead. They wanted to be quick and swift, so that the enemy would not be able to react. The noise of several giants wearing blood-red armor running towards the target on the street was really too loud. As long as they showed such a gesture, the target would probably get the news directly and run away.

I can only hide in the car.

As for whether the movement of military vehicles would attract attention... it was indeed possible. Fortunately, the frequency of military movement in Fuxing City was very high recently, and military vehicles running back and forth in the narrow passages of the outer city had almost become a normal occurrence.

In short, riding in a vehicle is no less covert than showing up in person.

As for what Martins had been thinking about... Bah! Not at all!

As for the Sisters of Battle, Martins discovered that they did not get on the bus.

He remembered the action plan that had been agreed upon previously, that the nuns would parachute directly into the battlefield.

Why not the Space Marines?

Because they are too heavy, the planes can't carry them... The power armor of the battle sisters is much lighter than theirs.

Martins was furious at the thought of this statement.

What a rubbish planet! They can't even find a plane that can take them on!

They were still wearing standard tactical power armor, not Vanguard type, let alone Terminator type.

Can't even do this, bad review!

…

After sitting in the military vehicle, which was much narrower than his body size, for a while, feeling a little depressed, the vehicle stopped.

They seemed to have reached their destination.

At this moment, a message came from the helmet that was connected to the radio message, saying that they were in place.

Martins ordered the team to get off the vehicle, spread out, and surround the target location.

He took over the command.

This was a very natural thing, Martins had long been accustomed to it in his past experiences. Space Marines always had the most core tactical position on any battlefield. Especially when cooperating with other imperial forces, they always naturally put themselves in the most important position and then took over the command.

Gu Hang has objections to this.

It was certainly a good idea to let Martins take command. He had at least two hundred years of combat experience and was also a regiment commander. He was sure that he could command such a small-scale regiment battle easily and in a comprehensive manner. This was not something that Gu Hang, who had not undergone any specialized military command training, could compare to.

But this will allow the Space Marines to establish prestige in the army without saying anything. When the soldiers are accustomed to obeying the Space Marines directly, where should the authority of the Governor be placed?

Although Martins himself may not have intended to establish influence and it was just normal behavior, Gu Hang was not happy to see this situation.

Sometimes, many planetary worlds other than the mother star are stationed by Space Marines for a long time, and the governor gradually becomes the nanny of the chapter. It is often evolved step by step in this way.

We are still far from that situation now, but it does not stop Gu Hang from taking precautions in advance.

He had something to hide and didn't want the Phoenix, especially the Phoenix he hadn't dealt with yet, to have too much say over his direct subordinates.

Gu Hang conveyed a new order: "Captain Martins, please launch the attack immediately. We cannot wait for the encirclement to unfold. The enemy may take this opportunity to escape."

Martins was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable.

He remembered Pastor Rizzo's smile again, and finally said nothing more. He just responded and called the other three brothers to start the action.

After getting off the bus, Martins looked up at the sky.

It had started to rain from the gloomy sky and the wind was getting stronger.
