Chapter 745, The Final Battle?

Gu Hang had many doubts in his mind.

He couldn't understand why Yasdai wanted to cause trouble for him and even resorted to assassination.

He couldn't understand why the Mechanicus, with whom he had only a superficial relationship, suddenly showed up and told him this.

If you have any questions, just ask them.

However, his questions were not answered.

The great sage seemed to have entered into some kind of established procedure and just continued speaking along the lines of what he had said before:

"The second reason I came to you is to promote a trade treaty between the Mechanicus and the Alliance. I hope that the total trade volume can reach 50 billion within three years and 200 billion within ten years."

Gu Hang nodded slightly.

Who wouldn't want to reach a trade agreement with the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Cult of Mars?

This is pure money giving.

At this point, Gu Hang became even more curious about the great sage's purpose.

He could see that the other party didn't want to explain more, so he didn't ask any more questions and just waited for the third thing the great sage wanted to say.

"The third thing I want to say is that I hope you can fight for the high lord in this election as the chairman of the Spider Web Universe."

"Wait..." At this point, Gu Hang finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and continued with a wry smile, "This matter is too unbelievable... The 'Alliance Plan' hasn't been officially signed yet, and the appointment of the chairman of the Spider Web Universe hasn't been officially made yet, and you want me to run for the new high lord like this? Even if I compete, there must be a vacant seat..."

Gu Hang felt that what the great sage said was outrageous.

There are only thirteen positions for high lords. Not to mention how Gu Hang would fight for it, even if he wanted to fight for it, there had to be a vacant position.

Unless he can launch an impeachment case against a high lord currently in power and overthrow him.

But how easy is that?

As the documents of the "Alliance Plan" were about to be signed, Gu Hang didn't want to cause any trouble at all.

However, this time he got an answer.

The great sage said, "The position is as stated in the first point I mentioned. The position in the Star Devouring Universe can be given up."

Gu Hang was silent.

After a long while, he spoke: "So, great sage, what is the price? What is the price? What do you need?"

The three things Kohl mentioned were all for the benefit of Gu Hang and the alliance.

The first one is purely one-way intelligence.

The second is to send money. The Martian sect has no shortage of trading partners.

The third one is about political support.

They are all free lunches that fall from the sky.

Even Gu Hang was scared.

What are you doing?

After asking the question, he heard Kaul's deep laughter: "You will pay the price..."

"Great Sage, please make your words clearer."

“You’re going to be involved in a war.

A final battle that concerns the fate of the entire empire and all of humanity.

You will play an important role and a key function in that war.

This is an inevitable fate, or rather, no one can escape it.

What I want is for you to reach that key position sooner, sooner.”

After hearing this, Gu Hang could hardly control his expression.

This is too weird!

From the literal meaning, Gu Hang could roughly understand some of the content. It was talking about a final battle in the future, a bit like the doomsday theory, and he would be very important.

Such a charlatan? Although the Mechanicus is a sect and has religious beliefs, Gu Hang himself is not interested in this area, and the overall atmosphere of the Alliance is not very biased in this direction. Whether it is the state religion or the Mechanicus, the overall attitude of the Alliance is that if you want to preach, you can preach. You have to support me with a fixed grant, but you also have obligations to bear. You ask me to believe or not.

The Mechanicus that Gu Hang had come into contact with mainly focused on technology, production, and research and development. Gu Hang had little contact with their religious side.

In fact, in his eyes, the titles of Mechanical Priest, Dominant Bishop, Sage and the like in the Mechanicus were more likely to be understood by him as something like a "professional title level" rather than a religious level.

So much so that, at this moment, when he suddenly saw a great sage acting like a charlatan, he actually felt quite uncomfortable: Shouldn't a great sage be a very rational and wise person?

How come you're doing this thing called 'prophecy' which sounds so unreliable?

But speaking of prophecy, Gu Hang suddenly remembered another thing.

That was the scene he saw during his storm trial after he learned about the prophecy that was pried out from the mouth of the captured Dark Eldar and sent back from the Alliance mainland.

That was the prophecy of the Dark Eldar, and it caused clear waves in the Warp, directly showing the picture.

In that picture, it seemed to have nothing to do with him. The main content was about the Son of God who created the Infinite Legion and finally stood up after a long time.

However, he did not forget that in the prophecy, there was a fleeting star map, on which the entire universe seemed to be burning. It seemed that there was a super-scale war that swept across the entire human empire.

If there must be a final battle, then the scene that Gu Hang saw in his own kingdom of God could perhaps be said to be a precursor to that war.

The flames of war swept across the empire, and heroes awakened and appeared...

Thinking of this, Gu Hang couldn't even force a smile.

It seems that the prophetic words spoken by Kohl are really more than just simple charlatan.

But if all this is true, it's a bit chilling.

A final battle that would plunge the entire empire into war and even decide the survival of the human race. Gu Hang didn't even dare to imagine what a terrible scene that would be.

He had experienced the largest war, the Iron Swarm War, which lasted for fifteen years. The total number of mobilized soldiers on both sides, including the swarm, was tens of billions. It affected thousands of worlds, and the total number of human deaths exceeded two trillion...

But this scale is still far from the Final Battle.

It is simply not enough to shake the empire.

The Empire could even sustain another war, the chaos in Solaria. The riots there had lasted for more than thirty years, and the intensity was slightly less intense, unlike the fierce decisive battle in the Spider Web Universe, but in terms of scale, they were definitely comparable.

Wars of one or two slightly smaller scale were constantly being fought in various parts of the empire.

How else to talk about the imperial sustainability pill?

But that is also sustainable. We cannot see the end or collapse of the economy, at least not yet.

Then what about the final battle, where the overall war situation is countless times more intense and terrifying than the current one?

If this is true, then there is absolutely no way the Alliance can be independent.

In other words, in this dark and terrifying universe, no matter how fucked up the Empire is, it is still the most reliable defender of the human race.

While Gu Hang was thinking, Kaul's voice sounded again: "I need your most direct help. After an uncertain number of years, your alliance will accept my call and go to the 500 worlds of the Infinite Star Domain to assist me in completing a critical mission."
