Chapter 744, The Great Sage’s Visit
The other side of the Empire’s two-headed eagle is the Mechanicus, which everyone must recognize.
Without the Adeptus Mechanicus, a considerable part of the empire's navy and Astra Militarum would have to lose their equipment and sources of supplies; a considerable part of their battle groups would soon run out of food.
This is their most important value - the largest party in the empire's industrial production.
This is true both in terms of technical level and productivity.
In addition, based on their own strength, the Mechanicum also possesses powerful military force.
Among the Cult of Mechanicus, the status of the Mars Sect is undoubtedly the most important.
Even though there are various sects in the Mechanicus, many sects are not very submissive to the attitude of Mars, the leader.
However, no matter how secretly you violate it, you have to obey it.
Hidden ambitions on the surface, and only dare to do small tricks behind your back.
Otherwise, if they are really punished by the sect master, there are not many other Mechanicus branches in the entire empire who are capable of withstanding it.
Among the Mars Sect, the one with the highest status and the leader of the Mars Sect is General Casting of Mars.
Of course, there is not only one forging world controlled by the Mars Cult, but Mars. But the most important of them all is Mars. The Forging General of Mars is the supreme leader of the entire sect. Moreover, the High Lord position of the Mechanicum on the Supreme Council has always belonged to the Foundry General since the existence of the Council ten thousand years ago and has never been left behind.
Under the Forge General, the Mars Sect has the largest number of great sages among all sects.
This is a higher-level existence than the main business sage.
The Alliance's intelligence department is still very concerned about the Martian sect, especially the branch of the Foreign Intelligence Service that Salikhovich brought to Holy Terra.
Although, the Alliance has not had much dealings with the Mars Sect so far. However, their existence itself should not be ignored.
Of course, after all, the Foreign Intelligence Agency did not directly place agents into the Mars Sect. At most, it sent dozens of people to Mars with different identities. All they can do is collect some routine intelligence on a regular basis.
According to publicly available reports, there are a total of seventeen great sages on Mars. It cannot be ruled out that there are a considerable number of great sages who have not been exposed.
Among these seventeen people, Kaur's name is listed.
However, overall, this is a rather low-key, somewhat mysterious great sage. He rarely makes public appearances, and is rarely seen in many lectures given by great sages on Mars. It is currently unknown what direction he is currently conducting research and what key results he has achieved in the past.
The only thing that can be said is that this great sage came from a very ancient era. No one knows exactly how old he is, but there are some records about him at least five hundred years ago.
He may be the oldest among all the great sages on Mars.
When he heard that he was visiting and that he was already at the door without announcing it in advance, Gu Hang thought for a moment and felt that he must meet this side.
It would be inappropriate not to see you.
He would inevitably wonder in his heart, what was Kaul's purpose in meeting him?
But it didn’t leave him guessing.
This great sage is hunched over, all hidden under his robe, and wearing a mask on his entire face, revealing various facial organs that have been completely transformed, and not even much skin is left. After entering the door and confirming that there was no one else around, he straightforwardly explained his purpose.
"Mr. Gu Hang, I have three things to ask you for."
"Say." Gu Hang was not surprised that the other party came straight to the point.
It's normal for people who show up uninvited to be direct. In the past month, I have been talking a lot in roundabout ways, so it would be nice to have a more direct style.
The great sage’s somewhat harsh electronic synthesized voice continued to sound:
“First, I want to tell you that Asdai once challenged the Assassin’s Court. Order to assassinate you."
"Huh?"
Gu Hang didn't expect it to be about this matter.
He has never stopped investigating this matter. Salihovich's Foreign Intelligence Agency has a capable team dedicated to it.
There is also a line from the Court of Assassins.
However, so far, nothing has been gained. The matter is too secretive for the Foreign Intelligence Agency to find out; the Assassin's Court abides by the rules and refuses to talk about it.
Gu Hang had lost all hope. Anyway, they are enemies and they will eventually meet. Let’s just wait and see what we can do.
But he didn't expect that he would get clues in this way.
Asdai, Gu Hang knows this person.

That is the chairman of the Galactus Universe, one of the current high lords in the Supreme Council of the Empire.
The Chairman of the Universe are all qualified to select high lords, but the probability of being selected is quite low. Among the more than fifty cosmic domain presidents, there are only one or two in each group of high lords, and sometimes there are none at all.
Moreover, they often have the lowest status among the high lords. It is often other departments that are eligible to be selected, such as the Legal Department, the Psychic Order, and the Imperial General Chamber of Commerce that have not yet obtained positions.
Besides this, there may be some additional seats, but they are not permanent. For example, there used to be the Holy Grand Abbot of the Sisters of Battle, and the Sun Lord who Sokhkaim served as .
Sometimes, when the people in these positions, or the department itself is too weak to hold the position of high lord, the vacant seat will be filled by the elected Chairman of the Universe.
To put it bluntly, it’s just that the high lords are just making up the numbers.
But no matter how you make up the numbers, he is still a high lord. Putting aside his status, there will be no difference between his vote and other people's votes in the Supreme Council.
Because of this, some powerful high lords, especially those whose own interests are more closely related to the local government, would like to support a Zhouyu chairman who has a good relationship with them and listens to them to enter the high lords council.
Isn’t this vote equal to your own?
For example, at the moment, the high lord position of the Chairman of the Galaxia Universe is supported by the Prime Minister. When the Prime Minister needs it, the vote will follow the Prime Minister.
Of course, he is also a local prince at the level of chairman of the universe, and with the status of a high lord in hand, he will not be barked around like a dog. When there is no clear request from the Prime Minister, Asdai can still vote according to his own ideas, especially on matters closely related to the interests of his own universe.
Just like the iron armor war.
The Swallowing Universe is a little dissatisfied with the fact that it is so eager to explode the conflict, so that its own universe is damaged.
Therefore, it seems natural that he would feel a little unhappy about himself.
But will the conflict between the two sides be so serious that assassination is needed?
And why did the great sage of the Mechanicus come to tell him this news?
Staring at the face that had been transformed into something inhuman, Gu Hang felt more and more doubts in his heart.
