The Empire's territory encompassed endless stars. In this dark and terrifying distant future, there was only endless war.

Gu Hang, having become a Planetary Governor, became the...
Chapter 77, Execution
At this point, Mondok was destined not to escape.
It was still Sister Grit who took action.
She knew that for Gu Hang, it would be more valuable if he could capture the rebel leader alive, even if this guy would still die in the end.
After cutting down a tank, the head nun did not stop but continued to accelerate.
She jumped high, and the combat backpack behind her suddenly spurted out dark green flames, pushing her body and accelerating suddenly in mid-air. The command vehicle that had just started moving had not even picked up speed when the head nun rushed close to it.
She was in mid-air, holding the gun with one hand and firing, and the infantrymen accompanying the command vehicle were killed one by one by the precise sniper. When she landed, there were no enemies around.
With a swing of the halberd, the command vehicle's rear wheels were cut in half; with another slash, the door was cut open, revealing Mondok's terrified face.
The rebel leader still showed some courage at this time. He raised the pistol he had prepared long ago and pulled the trigger at the head nun.
However, how can the bullets fired from an ordinary self-defense pistol shake the Sister's Feedback Power Armor?
He fired only one shot, and the bullet bounced off his armor. Then the head nun grabbed his collar with one hand and pulled him out of the car.
The general fell to the ground like a dead dog, and was dragged towards Gu Hang by Grit with one hand. He kept struggling, but it was pointless. The head nun's hand was like steel and did not loosen at all.
The surviving guards around could only watch.
The general who was usually so high and mighty was now being dragged on the ground. Some of them wanted to save him, but they had no idea what to do. Shooting him with bullets would be useless; using heavy firepower? What if the general was killed in the process?
What is even more terrifying is these dozen male and female warriors themselves.
They have faced off against the empire's most elite super warriors, and they have only one feeling: Can such enemies be considered human beings?
Invulnerable to swords and guns, and unmovable by artillery fire. However, if the other side fired a shot, as long as there were more people on their side, large groups of people would be taken away.
The angels of death captured their general under their protection as if they were strolling in the garden.
It’s not that they didn’t fight desperately, but all they could do was die.
They could no longer fight this battle which was doomed to fail and impossible to win.
When they saw the general being captured, they even felt a sense of relief: since they had already lost, did they not have to fight anymore?
As such thoughts filled their minds, the soldiers' fingers pulling the triggers became less determined.
The Space Marines also reduced their firepower and stopped shooting. They were too lazy to care about the soldiers who were hiding. They would only fire explosive shells at the enemies who were still resisting.
The Phoenix is an extremely poor regiment. In their eyes, explosive bombs are more valuable than the lives of these local indigenous rebels.
At this moment, Grit had already brought Mondok to Gu Hang.
At this moment, General Mondok, who was always tough and dressed in combat uniform, had completely lost his usual image and demeanor. He was dragged on the ground all the way, and because the head nun was too rough, half of the time, he had half of his face on the ground. When he arrived in front of Gu Hang, the half of his face that was dragged on the ground was already bloody, and his body was covered in blood, dust, and half-torn clothes, which made him look very embarrassed.
He was thrown in front of Gu Hang. He struggled to get up, but his whole body was in so much pain that it was difficult for him to get up.
But there was no need for him to get up by himself.
An invisible force supported his body and lifted him up.
He was able to face Gu Hang directly.
He opened his mouth with difficulty, trying to say something, but no words came out. There was also an invisible force blocking his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe, let alone speak.
Of course it was Gu Hang who did this.
No matter whether the guy in front of him wanted to be tough one last time or beg for mercy, Gu Hang was not going to listen.
Now, Mondok's attitude was meaningless. For Gu Hang, if he could capture this guy alive, he would only be useful for one thing.
"I'll leave the safety issue to you." Gu Hang's voice rang in the ears of the Space Marines and Battle Sisters.
Grit smiled and nodded.
In fact, these words were mainly directed at her.
Next, Gu Hang will be exposed to the guns of all enemies. He is not worried about those ordinary soldiers, or even the bombardment of artillery fire. He has ways to deal with those.
The only thing he was worried about was that there might be cultists from the original Angry Owl sect hiding in the army.
It is possible.
If they take action, coupled with the bullets and artillery fire from some of the controlled soldiers, it will indeed pose a threat to him.
It's not that he will die. At worst, when the situation gets bad, he can just slip into the protection of the Space Marines and Battle Sisters. Is there anyone on the Angry Owl Star who can break through the protection of these nineteen people and kill him?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
However, that would be a bit embarrassing and not conducive to Gu Hang establishing his own prestige.
What he needed Sister Grit to do was to try her best to ensure that he did not fall into such an embarrassing situation.
This had been discussed beforehand, and the head nun agreed readily.
In other words, if it was just to help the Governor suppress the rebellion, the sisters of the Holy Lily of Mercy would not be interested. Their core goal in coming to the surface was to combat heresy.
And now the job of 'keeping an eye on the cultists who might appear later' is just what they want.
Gu Hang withdrew his gaze and looked at Mondok again.
It's time to put this Alliance general to use.
Under the power of telekinesis, Gu Hang's body began to rise into the air, taking Mondok with him.
Gu Hang's golden governor's uniform fluttered without any wind. He looked stern and solemn as he looked down at the entire battlefield.
Mondok's figure was slightly shorter than him, his limbs and throat bound by psychic energy, making him unable to move, let alone speak.
Only Gu Hang's voice could resound throughout the scene through the power of psychic energy.
"All soldiers, lay down your weapons!"
"I am Gu Hang. I am the representative of the empire that you have sworn to serve. I am the agent of the Divine Emperor to rule this land..."
"I am the master of the Angry Owl Star, and I am your governor!"
"And this man, whom you call the General, betrayed the Empire, betrayed the God-Emperor, and betrayed... me!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the Space Marines and Battle Sisters changed subtly.
To betray the Governor is indeed to betray the Empire; and to betray the Empire is not to betray the God-Emperor, is it?
There is nothing wrong with what you said, but Your Excellency the Governor puts himself on an equal footing with the Empire and the God-Emperor... It just feels a little off?
But they didn't say anything either.
Gu Hang didn't care what these devout followers of the Emperor of God were thinking. He continued:
"I hereby declare, in the name of the Emperor, that General Mondok is stripped of his identity and sentenced as a traitor to the Empire!"
"Soldiers, no matter what orders you received before, they have now been completely terminated. In the name of the Governor, I order everyone to lay down their weapons. Your past actions will not be held accountable; but from this moment on, those who still disobey orders will also be regarded as traitors!"
As he spoke, Gu Hang raised a pistol, pointed it at Mondok's forehead, and shot him dead with one shot.
