Chapter 72, Are you pretending?
It would take almost a whole day to get from the Governor's Camp to Fuxing City at the speed of the infantry.
In the evening, the team arrived outside Fuxing City.
And Fuxing City had already learned of Gu Hang's approach.
Gu Hang had no intention of hiding it, and he had been very public along the way, so it would have been difficult not to be discovered. As for Fuxing City, there were too many methods that could be known in advance.
If we only count the inner city of Fuxing City, it is not large; but if we include the outer city, the area occupied by those haphazardly built houses by the poor is not small.
When Gu Hang led the team to Fuxing City, they only stopped at the outer city.
An army stood in front of him.
Those are the defenders of Fuxing City.
A large number of soldiers occupied the slum area in front of the main gate. They stayed in the houses, watching the outside with eager eyes; there were tanks hiding in the houses, their figures were mostly blocked by the short houses, but the black gun barrels were extended out.
They blocked the Governor's troops from moving forward.
An officer, accompanied by several followers, came to the Governor's team and asked to see the Governor.
Gu Hang met him.
The Fuxing City officer saluted Gu Hang and said, "Good morning, Governor General. I am Fuxing..."
"No need to tell me your name. I'm not interested in knowing it. Tell me, why is my city blocking me from entering? Why are you soldiers who should be loyal to me standing against me?"
The officer, whose self-introduction was interrupted, swallowed.
He felt extremely nervous now.
He looked to the left, and saw a giant in red armor, who he knew was a Space Marine; he looked to the right, and saw a lady in white and green armor, who was a Sister of Battle. He looked to the middle, and saw his Governor, the supreme ruler of this planet.
He thought to himself, how could he have the courage to speak in front of these legendary figures?
But he still spoke: "I am under the order of the Alliance Council and Lieutenant General Mondok, the garrison general of Renaissance City, to... request you to stop advancing. The Governor-General has no problem entering the city, but he is only allowed to bring no more than one hundred guards, and... and they cannot include Space Marines and Battle Sisters."
Gu Hang seemed to have heard a great joke: "Mundok? Lieutenant General? He made a request to me?"
The officer seemed to realize how ridiculous his statement was. He could only lower his head slightly and remain silent.
"Well," Gu Hang said, "I am now telling you as the Governor of Angry Owl Star that no matter what position or power the Mondok you mentioned had before, he no longer has it. He is no longer a member of the Alliance, nor is he the commander-in-chief of the army. Now, take this news back to your fellow comrades."
Gu Hang has already given the officer a chance.
But he didn't catch it.
It can be seen that he was under tremendous psychological pressure at the moment, but he still held on. He said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Governor, but please listen to General Mondok..."
I couldn't continue talking before I finished speaking.
He felt a magical force grabbing his throat.
Soon, he fainted due to cerebral ischemia.
Released the power of telekinesis and let his body fall to the ground. Gu Hang waved his hand and some soldiers came up and dragged the man away.
This officer has great courage.
But his courage was misplaced.
Martins said at this time: "Governor, the situation is now very clear. The behavior of Mondok, who calls himself a general, is tantamount to rebellion. Now, all those who stand in our way are rebels."
"So, what do you suggest, Chapter Master Martins? Do you want to kill all the 'rebels'? Can seven Phoenix warriors do it?"
Martins really thought about it carefully, and then said: "It will be difficult for the seven of us to completely defeat this 10,000-man force with heavy firepower and armor. I need the cooperation of the sisters of Holy Mercy Lily, and the gunfire of the Quintet. At night, we can enter the target area, mark the orbital strike, and then the starship will strike first, and then we can go in for a mop-up. In this way, we should be able to complete the mission at a relatively small cost."
Battle Sister Grit raised an objection: "I'm sorry, Captain Martins, I really hope to have another chance to fight side by side with the Phoenix again. However, our mission on the surface this time is not to quell the rebellion, but to deal with the heresy. I will not participate in the mission to combat the mortal rebels. Mr. Governor, please understand."
Gu Hang was not disappointed. Instead, he smiled reassuringly: "I understand. Of course I understand. Captain Martins' plan is very appropriate. When I think all the enemies in front of me need to be eliminated, I will adopt your plan. But now, we don't need to make things so complicated for the time being."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Rest first. You are fine after a whole day of marching, but my soldiers need to rest to recover their combat effectiveness. As for the specific plan, I will tell you later. Please cooperate with me tomorrow, as well as Sister Grit."
Martins stared at Gu Hang for a moment and finally nodded.
Grit also made a statement: "We will not massacre mortal soldiers, but we will provide necessary protection for you, Mr. Governor."
“I am very grateful to have been able to make it this far.”
…
In Fuxing City, Norris and Bradford nervously waited for news from the outside city.
When these two businessmen among the Alliance senators learned that Gu Hang had already set off, and that he was actually accompanied by Space Marines and even Battle Sisters, they became very panicked.
Feelings of regret filled their hearts, and they even raised objections when General Mondok decided to lead his troops to the outer city to defend.
But their opposition was weak, as always.
They could only watch as Mondoc stood in front of the Governor and pray that no conflict would break out.
In the end, it didn’t break out.
Governor Gu actually stopped obediently outside the outer city.
This is great news!
Bradford said: "It seems that we overestimated Gu Hang's tough attitude. Perhaps his previous toughness was all fake."
Norris said cheerfully: "At least, I can sleep well tonight. We really need a tough guy like Mondok, he did a good job."
"Yes." Bradford said, "The danger of war has been greatly reduced. Now, the only thing left is to get that willful governor to stop playing the game of building camps outside and return to his rightful position as soon as possible."
"Yes, as long as he comes back, everything will be back on track."
"Just like the three before it."
"Yes, we have countless ways to deal with him. What's the point of dreaming about saving the world? Wrathful Owl Star doesn't need him to save it. He just needs to be a governor honestly, live a comfortable life for two years, and then die peacefully after two years."
