Chapter 78, Lay down your weapons and stop being a traitor
Killing Mondok in this state was like killing a chick to Gu Hang. His psychic power could lift his entire body into the air, so with that same power, he could easily break Mondok's neck.
Gu Hang did not do so, but chose to pull out his gun and execute him because of a sense of formality.
Gu Hang wanted to use this very symbolic shooting method to tell all the soldiers that their former commander was a guilty person and a traitor to the empire. They should completely draw a line with the traitor and accept the leadership of the governor.
He did not intend to use all the 10,000 soldiers in Fuxing City right away. But at least, these people would not become an obstacle to his next move.
If a purge was inevitable, it would begin with the military.
Almost all the soldiers watching nearby saw what happened in the air, and they all heard the Governor's declaration.
The general is a traitor?
This news was a little hard to accept for a while.
It was not just Gu Hang's words that made the soldiers really regard Mondok as a traitor and Gu Hang as the commander. After all, before this, they were not familiar with Gu Hang, while Mondok had been their leader for many years. Many of them were officers promoted by General Mondok.
However, Mondoc is now dead.
He died right in front of them, being convicted and executed.
The object of loyalty has been lost.
Many people are at a loss.
So what should we do next?
Revenge for the general?
this……
In the minds of some people who are deeply indebted to Mondoc, this is not an option. In fact, some people have indeed tried to do so.
Some officers tried to continue to encourage their soldiers to launch an attack.
But this doesn't work very well.
The most important point is that they have no way to deny Gu Hang's identity as a ruler. He is the real governor. He executed the general, and the remaining soldiers had almost no reason to continue fighting. It is not so useful to rely solely on the officers' instigation. Only a small number of people who are not clear-headed will take out their weapons and try to attack.
In the face of these attacks, Gu Hang stood still in mid-air.
This was definitely not the time to retreat. He had to stand here and spread the declaration he had just made to the soldiers over and over again, deeply imprinting his identity into the soldiers' minds.
As for those who were stubborn, their attacks were within Gu Hang's reach. His telekinesis was enough to allow him to catch the bullets shot at him within a certain distance and deflect them so that they could not hit him. Even if there were a few bullets that he was unable to catch in time, he still had the protective aura on his body as a last resort.
If he was attacked by thousands of people, there was no doubt that Gu Hang would have to run away immediately; but this did not happen, after all, those who attacked him were only a minority.
This minority of stubborn elements were immediately suppressed with force.
The Space Marines will take action.
The grenade launcher in the Phoenix's hand can always accurately kill the rebels.
However, the cult members that Gu Hang was worried about could not pose any threat to him at all.
His previous guess was correct. There must be sorcerers from the original Wrathful Owl sect lurking in the army of Renaissance City. After he took off, those sorcerers quietly emerged and targeted him.
Within the range of Gu Hang's psychic perception, he has already discovered traces of those heretics.
While they were planning to attack Gu Hang with psychic powers, they were also trying to encourage the surrounding soldiers to continue attacking Gu Hang.
However, out of trust in the combat nuns, Gu Hang did not move.
The sisters led by Sister Grit did not let Gu Hang down.
In the previous action, the Holy Mercy Lilies, who seemed to be a little lazy, became active at this moment. The eleven people did not need to communicate, and they tacitly divided into groups of two. Grit acted alone, and a total of six groups rushed into the group of soldiers.
They shouted the name of the Emperor and caught those who had already revealed their disguises and were about to use the power of evil magic to attack Gu Hang.
They are true experts in fighting against cultists, and are the natural enemies of all heretics, cults, and psychics.
A faint light shone on the bodies of the Holy Mercy Lilies, and the blessing of the Divine Emperor had arrived. Within a certain range, all hostile psychic and evil energy methods would be directly blocked.
Of course, this kind of obstruction has a certain limit. If the target is too strong, the evil magic that can be cast will still be cast. After all, their anti-psychic power comes from the divine arts they master and the blessing of the Emperor. In essence, when a hostile spell takes effect, their divine power will immediately counter it.
But at least, none of the sorcerers that appeared at the moment could break through the anti-psychic suppression of the battle nuns.
Witchcraft and psychic powers were ineffective, and the cultists mixed in with them had no ability to fight back and were easily eliminated.
Seeing the battle sisters killing their 'comrades', some soldiers started to resist. Whether they were fighting back instinctively or were really bewitched by the cultists, the Holy Lilies would not show mercy and would kill them all.
These cultists who had sneaked in were not much different from ordinary soldiers in appearance and attire. The soldiers did not know that they were cult members, and some even thought that they were being massacred.
In order to prevent the spread of this misunderstanding and prevent the already tense situation from becoming completely uncontrollable, Gu Hang used the sound of his psychic energy to once again ring in the ears of all the soldiers:
"Put down your weapons! Stop resisting! The heretics who intend to destroy Renaissance City are plotting, and the Sisters of Battle are eliminating the heretics. Put down your weapons! You will not be implicated! Anyone who continues to hold weapons will be regarded as a traitor!"
"Put down your weapons! Stop being traitors!"
In confusion, a considerable number of soldiers finally stopped resisting.
At this moment, the infantry regiment led by Yan Fangxu also entered the scene.
They approached the Union Army's defense line cautiously and shouted along with the Governor, calling for them to lay down their weapons and stop resisting.
The disarmed soldiers remained where they were; the few who still held weapons were executed regardless of whether they resisted or not.
The Governor acted as a humanoid radio station in mid-air, and released the "Persuasion Halo" to the entire Alliance Army; Space Marines and Battle Sisters cleared out the stubborn traitors from within and disarmed the ordinary soldiers; the infantry regiment led by Yan Fangxu began to disarm from the outside...
The main battle ended here. Most of the Alliance soldiers chose to surrender after witnessing the general being tortured and executed, the Governor personally ordered them to surrender, and facing the irresistible Space Marines and Battle Sisters.
They don't want to fight anymore.
If we can't win and we don't know what the point of continuing to fight is, then why bother fighting?
