Chapter 75, Three Warnings
Mondoc knew what the right thing to do was, but he didn't dare to do it.
It’s nothing, I’m just afraid of death.
Hesitant and swaying, but when he was at a loss, Gu Hang's steps were so firm and getting closer and closer.
He knew this, and as time went on, he began to realize that he could not hesitate any longer.
At this time, making a choice, even if it is wrong, will not be more wrong than doing nothing.
He really didn't dare to show up in person and face the Governor's majesty and the threats of the Space Marines; but he couldn't surrender to the Governor, as this was no longer an option; he was unwilling to give up the current situation and retreat directly to the inner city, which would be equivalent to losing his prestige. A general who abandoned his army would never be able to gain the support of the army again, and at that time the Governor might really be able to take over the command of the army by relying on justice.
He finally came up with a compromise plan.
…
Gu Hang was finally stopped.
To be honest, he was disappointed about this.
The response is too slow.
Although, this scene was one of the many possibilities he had anticipated. The soldiers might be at a loss because of the identity of the governor, because of the suddenness, and because they had not opened fire. This was also the reason why Gu Hang chose to set off when the sun was about to rise and many people were still asleep, and why no one opened fire at the checkpoint before.
But when it really happened, he still lamented his opponent's indecisiveness.
If Gu Hang was in the opposite position, he would have given the order decisively to pull up the heavy artillery and tanks, no matter if there were accidental casualties or what the consequences would be after the battle, he would just bomb them first.
That Mondok, couldn't he realize that he would not be able to survive?
He is still hesitating, not knowing what to be hesitant about.
Of course, if the other party really wants to do this, Gu Hang is not afraid. Since he dares to come, he must have a way to break the situation.
The heavy artillery couldn't kill the Space Marines, the Battle Sisters, or him.
To be more precise, it can't be hit.
But this did not happen, so I won’t say more about it.
At the moment, Gu Hang didn't care about this obstruction.
A company of soldiers, led by several officers, blocked the road. They were in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to set up a roadblock, but just blocked the road with human flesh, without even firing a shot.
There was just one officer, standing in front of the battle line, shouting with a loud speaker:
"Hold your advance! We will open fire after three warnings! The Governor must come alone!"
Hearing the warning, Gu Hang also saw the soldiers blocking the road on the opposite side. They had their guns raised and their hands on the triggers, ready to fire at any time.
Three warnings?
There was a sneer on Gu Hang's lips.
"Those in front are definitely rebels." Gu Hang said softly.
The officer on the opposite side was about to issue a second warning, but at this moment, a bomb blew up his body.
The large-caliber bullet made of diamond completely destroyed most of the officer's body. The extremely penetrating explosive bullet continued to penetrate and killed another soldier, and then exploded in the crowd.
The characteristics of the standard explosive bomb, in addition to the large-caliber warhead with strong penetration, are also equipped with explosive fuses and micro-shaped charges. When it explodes, the combined power of impact and shrapnel is even more powerful than ordinary grenades and gun-mounted grenades.
The bolter in the hands of the Space Marines is a crushing weapon for ordinary troops. It can be used as a small-caliber howitzer to fire bursts of shells against light infantry, or as an armor-piercing shell against armored units. After penetrating the armor, the bolter will explode inside the vehicle, killing the target inside the vehicle.
Seven Space Marines opened fire at the same time, and the firepower of the grenade launchers covered the hundred or so soldiers who served as human walls on the road, and almost destroyed them completely in an instant.
Even if there were two tanks among those soldiers, it would be equally meaningless.
If it was the main battle tank of the Astra Militarum, such as the Lion King tank, the bolter would really scratch it. But the two tanks at the moment were just local products produced by some military industrial enterprises on the Wrathful Owl Star, not the main land battle tanks of the Astra Militarum. The armor looked thick, but whether it was the design, technological content, or the material itself, it was not up to standard and could not stop the explosive shells made of diamond warheads.
The explosive shell penetrated the armor and blasted into the vehicle, causing an explosion inside.
A hole in the tank might not be a big problem, but no one inside would survive.
During this process, some of the hundreds of soldiers occasionally reacted, pulled the trigger, and fired at the Space Marines.
But until they were almost all dead, the number of bullets fired at them was probably no more than twenty, and most of them missed. The few that hit could not even leave a scratch on the Space Marine's power armor.
A Space Marine standing at the front asked, "What gave these mortals the courage to stand in a dense formation on an open road to block us without cover, shelter, or poor equipment?"
Gu Hang knew that the man who spoke was called Schneider. This bald warrior without a helmet was a more elite warrior than the veterans. Moreover, Gu Hang could see that the guy had some problems with the commander Martins.
But Gu Hang didn't have the time to pay attention to these things and what he had just said.
He has more important things to do now.
With his spiritual energy surging, his telekinesis amplified the degree to which his vocal cords vibrated the air as he spoke, sending his words to the ears of the numerous soldiers around him who had just witnessed the devastating, one-sided massacre:
"I am the governor of the empire, I am the ruler of the alliance. Anyone who dares to stop me will be regarded as a traitor! I order all soldiers to obey orders, stay on the spot, and wait for the results!"
"I am the governor of the empire... All soldiers, obey orders, stay where you are, and await the results!"
…
These words seemed to form waves in the air, echoing continuously.
At the same time, the speed of Gu Hang and his group suddenly increased.
When the Space Marines and Battle Sisters are moving at full speed, their speed is comparable to that of a chariot. Their explosive power is stronger than that of a short-distance running champion, and their endurance is stronger than that of a long-distance running champion.
Gu Hang, of course, would not use his own two legs to chase. Telekinesis took effect again, and the invisible force lifted his body, making him half-float, closely following the advancing extraordinary warriors, keeping himself under their protection.

Would it feel better if I posted both chapters at noon?
Previously, it was sent out twice, in the afternoon and at noon, which seemed a bit disjointed.
