Chapter 114, Termination Ceremony
Feeling dizzy, Gu Hang refused the help of the soldier who came forward and walked towards the group of signalmen.
While taking a rest nearby, he said, "If there is any news from other places, please tell me as soon as possible."
"yes!"
After saying that, Gu Hang closed his eyes and sat in the rain to rest.
It’s not that we are reluctant to put up an awning for the Governor, but mainly because in the current environment, the awning cannot be put up and will be blown away.
Fortunately, Gu Hang doesn’t care about these.
Over the next 10 to 20 minutes, news came in one after another. Three more angry owl projections at wind farms were dealt with.
Including the previous four, this adds up to seven.
A smile appeared on Gu Hang's face with his eyes closed.
It seems that there is no big problem.
But after a few minutes, the news about the last wind farm he had been waiting for never came.
The smile on Gu Hang's face disappeared.
"Call and ask what's going on over there and what the current situation is."
The signalman did as he was told and soon received a reply.
"Five minutes ago, a Space Marine and two sisters arrived. They...they..."
At this point, the signalman was a little hesitant, and Gu Hang already had a bad feeling:
"Hurry up and tell me."
"Yes!" The signalman didn't have time to organize his words. He spoke quickly and narrated the situation in the order in which things happened. "A Space Marine touched the hole first. Then after a while, the hole did not disappear, but the Space Marine fell down. Then two sisters checked the situation and said that the Space Marine was dead. One of them went up and touched the hole, and fell down... The remaining sister occupied the communication signal and was calling for help."
Gu Hang's face turned completely dark.
Although it was not a complete failure yet, he could realize that he was in big trouble.
Apart from him, a high-level psychic, the only ones who have a relatively high chance of dealing with the remaining projections of the Angry Owl in the original wind farms are the Space Marines.
These Phoenix veterans who had experienced the Atonement Expedition, at least one of them had more than a hundred years of combat experience, and all of them were extremely determined. But there were only seven of them, and with Gu Hang himself, they should be able to deal with all the angry owl projections.
Although it was extreme, Gu Hang had never thought about the possibility that they would fail.
However, even if the Phoenixes had a 70 to 80 percent chance of winning against the Angry Owl incarnation with their own will in the spiritual realm, it was not unbelievable that something unexpected would happen if they encountered it seven times in a row. Moreover, Gu Hang remembered that there was an unlucky Phoenix who was hit by a wind bomb in the previous battle, and then was slapped by the same guy when the Angry Owl incarnation appeared.
Although there is no definite evidence, Gu Hang suspects that the person who died in the accident was this person... Perhaps the warrior in front had already been seriously injured and was in poor condition, and then he went to the spiritual realm and tried to fight against the projection of the angry owl with pure will, but was accidentally defeated.
The loss of a Space Marine hurts.
Although Phoenix was still only his ally, the relationship between them was not the kind of "unmoved when a friendly force was in trouble". On the contrary, the cooperation between the two sides had been relatively good during this period of time.
Even though their existence required Gu Hang to invest a lot of manpower to build a monastery for them, and Wu Jiarong's research institute had to take time out to make explosive bombs for them. But these space warriors really went to war. The price Gu Hang paid was not as much as the money he would get from hiring mercenaries.
In turn, these Phoenix warriors helped him a lot.
For every loss of one person, Gu Hang felt that he had lost at least three hundred grace points - this was the price of a standard Space Marine, not even including the experience of a veteran.
In addition to its own losses, the defeat of a phoenix was a direct announcement that there were major flaws in the action to end this cult ritual.
There are seven Space Marines corresponding to seven wind farms, and there is no room for error.
If something goes wrong, it will be extremely difficult to make up for it. The Battle Sister who died right after the dead Phoenix is an example.
In the entire Renaissance City, how can we find another being with a spiritual will as strong as that of the Space Marines?
The only person Gu Hang could think of to ask for help was Grit.
Is the head nun willing to let the nine surviving nuns under her command try to fight a life-and-death battle with the projection of the Angry Owl one by one?
Gu Hang felt that he was a little reluctant to open his mouth.
Two of the head nun's men have already sacrificed their lives; but if it were just sacrifices, that would be fine. The key point is that no one knows what chances the nuns have of challenging the projection of the angry owl by venturing into the spiritual realm.
All nine nuns died, but the problem was not solved?
Grit would hesitate.
But Gu Hang seemed to have no other choice.
He took a deep breath and said to the signalman standing by, "Go and ask where Sister Grit is now. I want to talk to her."
"yes!"
The signalman hurried away to carry out the order.
However, at this moment, Gu Hang heard an extremely unwilling roar coming from the sky and from the void.
Suddenly, he felt that the dark clouds that had been covering the city were beginning to dissipate; the storm and heavy rain that had been intensifying suddenly seemed to have weakened a lot.
Gu Hang was a little surprised: The ceremony was terminated?
That angry owl projection was dealt with?
But why is this?
Who took action?
Could it be that the last remaining nun mentioned in the previous intelligence had a huge outburst and defeated the projection of the angry owl?
Gu Hang's heart was filled with great surprise!
Whatever it is, it's great news!
Although the final result was good, this roller coaster-like mood change was not very friendly to the heart. If possible, Gu Hang really didn't want to experience a similar experience again.
Immediately afterwards, another signalman came to report the news.
"Mr. Governor, new intelligence has arrived from the wind farm that lost a Space Marine and a Battle Sister! They have solved the problem!"
"I see." Gu Hang smiled. "Who solved the problem in the end? Was it the Battle Sister?"
"no."
Um?
Hearing this answer, Gu Hang was stunned.
"Who is that?"
"It's Thaddeus."
Thadius? Gu Hang was somewhat familiar with this name.
He instantly recalled the series of battles in which the food transport team was attacked. He had read the battle report and found that the position of political commissar he had established played a huge role in that battle.
At that time, the most eye-catching person he noticed was naturally Cody, who turned the battle from defeat to victory at his own expense.
As for Thaddeus, it seems that he is just a background figure in Cody's story.
However, this person who looks like a background board becomes the key to saving the entire city.
Now Gu Hang is very curious, how did Thadius do it?
