Chapter 709, The Assassin Court greets you
Gu Hang was actually a little disappointed with the sacred object technology.
It can certainly be regarded as apocalyptic-level technology, and its effect is very clear.
However, it was different from the Apocalypse level that Gu Hang wanted.
The purpose is too narrow.
The enhancement of cutting-edge combat power plays a decisive role in certain battle situations. But after all, it was not the kind of thing that Gu Hang wanted that could subversively change the alliance. He also needed something more powerful.
The shipment rate of the Apocalypse class has dropped by another 10 points. There are still six draws left, can you get it?
It was another 4 draws, and another apocalypse-level technology came out.
And when he saw its name, even Gu Hang, who was already very calm now, couldn't help showing an ecstatic expression!
[Apocalypse-level technology: Queen of Glory battleship]
Queen of Glory, no need to explain.
Gu Hang had only seen him show off his power once: during the battle to eliminate the insect swarm support fleet, a 'Phoenix Crested' who had experienced a long journey through subspace and whose condition was much worse than at its peak, emerged from subspace. Jumped out of it and appeared directly in the core of the array of a huge insect fleet.
The destructive power it demonstrated in an instant played a decisive role in the battle. In addition to destroying many key enemy warships in an instant, he also survived a long period of concentrated fire.
With one of its ships here, it is the navy’s anchor!
The number of glory queens in the entire empire is a fixed number. Only the major start-up war groups have the Queen of Glory left by the Emperor to each legion during the establishment of the empire. Later, when the legions were transferred to battle groups, the founding groups naturally took the Queen of Glory into their hands.
Now, not even the Imperial Navy has a Queen of Glory!
Even after getting this technology, Gu Hang discovered that the finished black box plus the production line of pulling out certain low-tech parts through the black box of the mother machine, combined with the existing production capacity of the alliance... In short, using the available means and capabilities With all matching resources used and the entire alliance going all out, it will take about fifteen to twenty years to build a Glory Queen.
It's a relatively long time, but so what?
If the empire can land a Glory Queen in twenty years, be it the Supreme Commander of the Navy or the Prime Minister of the Empire, I am afraid that I will die laughing!
Of course, even if this killer weapon is built, it cannot be used easily.
All else is easy to say. This kind of top-notch ship that even the Empire and the Mechanicum Mars headquarters cannot build anymore. It came from the establishment of the Empire and is said to be a top-notch ship designed by the Emperor himself. If it appears in the hands of the Alliance, what will happen? It all makes no sense.
Therefore, whether it is during construction or after it is built, the Queen of Glory project must be kept strictly confidential.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, with the alliance's naval strength, there is indeed no need for the Queen of Glory to be dispatched.
And once the Queen of Glory needs to be dispatched, life or death is almost at stake, so there is no need to worry about confidentiality.
But what Gu Hang hopes for the most is another possibility: there is no need to keep it secret anymore.
When Gu Hang had a Glory Queen, he had to keep it a secret;
When you have three ships, you can be bold;
When there are ten ships, they can sail to Holy Terra openly.
That might take two hundred years.
But it doesn't matter, Gu Hang can afford to wait.
Even ordinary mortals and nobles can live to be 200 to 500 years old after undergoing life extension surgery, let alone Gu Hang.
He even suspected that he had reached the level of immortality.
He might be killed, but he probably won't die of old age.
He is patient enough to wait for flowers that take a long time to bloom.
……
There are still two tens of millions of lottery draws left, but they have not been shipped.
It's not too regrettable, after all, after the Queen of Glory was drawn, the probability of getting an Apocalypse level dropped to 10%.
If you want to make another one, either you are really lucky and hit the target with one shot; otherwise, you just have to save up another ten shots in a row, which is 100 million points of gifts, which will be more stable.
However, how easy is it to save 100 million gifts?
Gu Hang relied on the alliance navy, army and space warriors to make huge sacrifices and win consecutive battles in several years to achieve so many achievements.
And now, it looks like peace is coming—at least generally peace. Without a star-scale war to fight, it would still be difficult to get so many gift points.
Of course, that's not a bad thing.
If we can really give him a long period of time to develop slowly, his monthly fixed income will be able to increase steadily.
Within a decade or two, a Queen of Glory, plus numerous battleships, aircraft carriers, and battle cruisers, joined the Alliance Navy.
In short, it will become stronger and stronger.
Gu Hang, who had taken out the Queen of Glory battleship, was in a very good mood, and his view of the future also became optimistic.
Gu Hang was busy for a while, handing over the production tasks of the holy objects and the Queen of Glory battleship, including the black box, to the rear.
It’s time to get started.
I plan to get two sacred weapons first, one for himself, in the shape of a scepter, and the other for Martins.
As for the construction of the Glory Queen, it cannot be done in a short while.
Raise the confidentiality level and do it slowly.
Of course, the estimated cost of this thing is about one trillion.
But it is not necessary to take it all out at once. The black box can save a considerable part of the cost. Other unavoidable costs will be paid gradually during the fifteen-year construction cycle.
This is naturally a big project and there will be a lot of noise. But actually there is no need to worry.
Keeping secrets is one thing. Even if some information is leaked, no one would expect it. The alliance is creating the Queen of Glory.
From the outside world, that is impossible.
After finishing all this, Gu Hang just had time to return to the governor's suite on the starship.
I have been tired for a long time, and it is time to take a rest when I am in a good mood. But as soon as he entered the door, his brows furrowed.
Someone, a stranger, had been here.
It was so arrogant that it didn't erase the traces of its past, and it also left things behind.
It was a letter placed by his bedside.
In an instant, Gu Hang's psychic perception spread out.
Under his perception, there were no enemies or dangers around him.
There was nothing on that letter. It was just an ordinary letter with no traps on it.
At least Gu Hang didn't notice it.
The contents inside are all under the perspective of spiritual energy and are invisible. He doesn't need to open it to see what's inside:
"Grand Master Jefferson Clement, say hello to Commander-in-Chief Gu."
Of course Gu Hang remembered this name.
Clement is currently one of the thirteen high lords in the empire.
And the reason why he is able to hold a high position is naturally because he has a foundation that is unique to him and that no one can ignore: the Assassin's Court.
He is the Grand Master of the Assassin Court.
Quietly, an assassin from the Assassin's Court entered the interior of the Emperor-class battleship 'Jinguan', which had been used as Gu Hang's office and residence, and then bypassed countless defenses and sent a letter , stayed at his bedside, and then floated away without disturbing anyone?
In fact, its whereabouts were so eerie that it was difficult for Gu Hang to track it clearly even if he used his spiritual energy to track it!
What does it mean?
Means warning.
What if instead of sending a harmless letter, there was a carefully prepared ambush and assassination?
With the abilities he displayed, even if Gu Hang had powerful psychic powers, he would still be in danger if he was caught off guard.
Not talking about life and death, maybe it will get hurt?
If you can release letters silently, what if you switch to poisoning?
Specializing in poisons that can poison powerful psykers and even great demons, does the Court of Assassins really not have any?
Taking a step back, even if it can't harm Gu Hang, what about others in the alliance? Those Space Marine chapters, the high-ranking marshals in the Alliance army, the high-ranking government officials and prime ministers... can they hide?
This is the horror of the Court of Assassins.
They cannot fight a war and will not fight a war. But they can almost do it to the extent that whoever they let die will die.
Physical annihilation again and again, even if it cannot destroy a regime, is enough to cause huge disruption.
In the history of the empire, there was a Grand Master of the Assassin Court who briefly controlled the power of the empire through assassination and espionage politics.
Of course, things were finally brought to order. At the same time, the power of the Assassin's Court was also locked in a cage.
But no matter what, they control this power, and the Grand Master will naturally be respected by others and have a place among the high lords.
Back then, when Gu Hang went to Holy Terra for the first and only time, Norberto, the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs at that time, was expelled from the Supreme Council. After being tried, he succeeded Norberto and was added to the Supreme Council. Yes, it’s Clement.
At that time, in the palace, Gu Hang even suffered an assassination attempt by the Assassin Court. It later turned out that it had nothing to do with Clement, but was someone who secretly summoned assassins to carry out the operation.
Then, the Grand Master of the Assassin Court who entered the Supreme Council gave Gu Hang the status of 'sponsor', allowing him to pay money or some other price to assassinate the target without violating imperial laws.
Legally hired murderers.
Of course, that is subject to the issue of the authority to assassinate the target, and the Assassin's Court will review it.
Although Gu Hang had never used it once after he obtained the status of sponsor.
He has no use for it.
If it really wants to do the dirty work, the Alliance has its own secret service.
But there was no need to return it. Gu Hang had always been busy, so he asked the alliance's diplomats stationed in Holy Terra to send some money to the Assassin's Court. Not much, maybe tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, to fulfill the duty of ‘funding’.
If you don't work for others, it's just a tug-of-war relationship.
Gu Hang even occasionally had private correspondence with Clement, talking about the current situation and so on.
Occasionally, people would reply to me, expressing a certain willingness to get close to me.
In fact, judging from some news sent back by Gallardo, Clement's presence in the High Lords Council has always been relatively low, relatively low-key, not speaking much, and voting silently. When it comes to Gu Hang, the Alliance, and matters on the southern front battlefield in previous wars, Clement's attitude is basically neutral and slightly closer.
This was good, it made Gu Hang feel that his money was not wasted; he was assassinated by the Assassin's Court back then and was not held accountable, so he got some reward.
So what is the situation now?
say hello?
He and Clement have a private communication channel. If he really wants to say hello, why not ask him normally?
In such a sensitive way?
Is this a warning?
Is it a malicious warning or a kind warning?
Gu Hang was silent and thought for a long time.
I probably have some ideas.
However, he quickly decided not to guess.
Wouldn’t it be better to ask?
He also has two good targets for inquiries.
One is Gallardo.
The second is Clement himself.
