Chapter 50, Battle Group?
Gu Hang had anticipated the movement of the [Hero] interface beforehand.
Now that such a brutal battle is over, I can always upgrade myself, right?
Sure enough, when he clicked on it and took a look, he was the only one among the heroes who had reached the standard for upgrading.
It was just the price of this upgrade that made him frown.
50 points.
The price to upgrade to level 2 is also too expensive.
However, after this experience, he was also eager to increase his personal strength.
Not to mention that his own safety can be better guaranteed after the upgrade, the influence of a powerful psychic on battles below a certain scale is enormous.
Even though it was expensive, he planned to grit his teeth and upgrade himself.
But don't rush.
There are some other changes in the [Hero] panel.
He saw that there were two more characters that could be activated as [Heroes].
One is Perbov.
After this battle, the captain of the miners from Feidong Society seemed to be recognized by the system as a talented person who could be activated into a hero.
The other one is named Ossena Chenko.
Who is this person?
Gu Hang was confused.
Do I have such a person under my command?
Oh, it seems so.
Gu Hang recalled the statistics of the refugees who had just migrated from Fuxing City. He glanced at the list of literate people and saw this name.
What did this person do to make the system think she is capable?
Gu Hang also became curious.
It's not that she will be promoted to a hero right away, but since the system has identified her as having certain potential, even if she is not upgraded, she can still be picked up and entrusted with important tasks.
Gu Hang seemed to have discovered another use for this [Hero] function.
You can find talents without upgrading.
After closing the [Hero] panel with satisfaction, Gu Hang opened the newly appeared [Event] panel.
【Unknown events are happening, you can guide the events to the direction that is relevant to you. 】
[It costs 50 graces to start this event. 】
[Event end countdown: 1 day and 6 hours]
That’s it?
Without any information, you want to cheat me out of 50 points of gifts?
Gu Hang turned off the [Event] function without even thinking about it.
Then he really thought about it and turned the function back on.
I can't wait!
The unknown is so tempting.
"Generally speaking, the quality of things produced by the system is strongly linked to the number of grace points. The more you pay, the better the things you can get. Apart from those two times when I drew technology cards, with a 40% probability but missed two times in a row, it seems that I have never been cheated...hiss? But is it easy to be cheated when drawing unknown event cards? What if there is some hidden probability?"
During this period of time, Gu Hang was struggling in his mind and had many thoughts.
He is not a person with a complicated personality, but what can he do?
Too poor!
All problems are caused by poverty.
If he had enough grace points, wouldn't Gu Hang activate this event immediately and see what it was all about?
But if the unknown event is activated, the remaining 36 gifts will not be enough for upgrading.
After thinking carefully for a long time, Gu Hang decided to trust the system.
Although it was a gamble, he still made this choice with the idea that "system products are worth the money".
Of course, the more important point is that he has a backup plan.
In two days, the one-month period will be up. At that time, the monthly fixed income will be paid. According to the development momentum of Gu Hang's forces, there should be 30 or 40 points of income by then. It should be enough for him to upgrade to LV3.
Relatively speaking, unknown events may be more precious. After all, they have a countdown, and when the time is up, the event will disappear.
It’s a limited time draw, I have to win one, right?
With this mentality, Gu Hang made his final choice.
The 50 points of grace disappeared in an instant, and instead, a new message appeared in his vision:
[Event activated: Phoenix will die]
[A Space Marine Chapter that is about to be destroyed has ended its century-long crusade of atonement and is approaching the Wrathful Owl Star. It seems that they are looking for redemption and hope here.]
[Please decide your actions carefully. Your behavior determines the next development of the incident. ]
【Event branch: unknown. 】
…
When Gu Hang saw the new event prompt that mentioned that a Space Marine Chapter was approaching the Angry Owl Star, he almost couldn't control the expression on his face.
If there was a Space Marine Chapter to help him, what was there to worry about? No matter what difficulties there were on the Wrath of the Owl, they would not be able to stop an entire Chapter.
The term "Space Marine" symbolizes glory, greatness... and death within the Empire.
They are the Emperor's Angels of Death.
It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, the God-Emperor used himself as a template to create many different gene-seeds, selected the best people, implanted the gene-seeds, and formed the first Space Marines.
Each of them is an extraordinary being, possessing a body countless times stronger than that of an ordinary person. They wear specially made power armor connected to their nerves. Their individual combat power is extremely terrifying, and it is no big deal for them to fight one against a hundred.
Often, it only takes a few Space Marines to form a team to kill through tens of thousands of troops and behead a general, and this is just their routine mission.
They are true killing machines, worthy of the name Angels of Death.
In the founding era, the major Space Marine Legions were the sharpest sword in the hands of the Emperor, and made absolute contributions in creating the infinite territory of the Empire.
Then, about 10,000 years ago, after the Emperor ascended to godhood, all Space Marine Legions were split into smaller Chapters. According to the Codex, a Space Marine Chapter could have a maximum size of 1,000 men.
Usually, a warband will have a home planet. The warband's home planet does not need to pay taxes to the empire, and all manpower and material resources belong to the warband. The warband can form mortal auxiliary troops and warband fleets, and has great autonomy. They will respond to the highest level of the empire and be deployed on the most terrifying battlefield. But apart from that, their actions are more arbitrary and have a high degree of freedom.
In Gu Hang's understanding, it was like a combination of warlords and feudal lords.
Such a war group is about to come to the Angry Owl Star?
Gu Hang quickly calmed down.
Again, the system product is worth the money. 50 points of grace, I'm afraid you can't even exchange for a Space Marine, let alone a regiment.
It's not that good.
He also noticed the information provided in the event interface, that this was a dying chapter.
That's good.
If it was a powerful chapter, he would have no say. The status of a chapter leader might be higher than that of a sector leader.
Gu Hang has realized that this incident is a blessing or a curse. He really needs to act cautiously as the system prompts, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.
But overall, this also means opportunity.
If there are Space Marines who can provide him with assistance, he will have absolute guarantee of military force on the Wrath of the Owl.
