Chapter 50, Battle Group?
Gu Hang had anticipated the movement on the [Hero] interface beforehand.
Now that such a tragic battle is over, he can always upgrade, right?
Sure enough, when he clicked it and took a look, he was the only one among the heroes who had reached the standard that could be upgraded.
It was just the price of this upgrade that made him frown.
50 points.
Upgrading to level 2 is also too expensive.
However, after this encounter, he was also very eager to increase his personal strength.
After upgrading, his own safety can be further guaranteed. Not to mention, a powerful psyker's influence on battles below a certain scale is huge.
Even if it is expensive, he plans to bite the bullet and upgrade himself.
But wait a minute.
There are some other changes in the [Heroes] panel.
He saw that there were two more characters that could be activated into [Heroes].
One, is Perbov.
After this battle, the miner captain from the Wasted Dong Society seemed to be recognized by the system as a talented person who could be activated into a hero.
And the other one is named Oceana Chenko.
Who is this person?
Gu Hang was confused.
Do I have such a person under my command?
Oh, it seems there is.
Gu Hang thought of the statistics of the refugees who had just migrated from Fuxing City. He probably glanced at the list of literate people, and this name seemed to appear on it.
What did this person do to make the system think she was capable?
Gu Hang also became curious.
It's not that she will be promoted to a hero immediately, but since the system has determined that she has certain potential, even if she is not promoted, she can be picked up and entrusted with important tasks.
Gu Hang seemed to have discovered another use of this [Hero] function.
You can find talents without upgrading.
Satisfied, Gu Hang closed the [Hero] panel and opened the new [Event] panel.
[An unknown event is happening, you can direct the event in a direction relevant to you. 】
[It costs 50 gifts to activate this event. 】
[Countdown to the end of the event: 1 day and 6 hours]
That's it?
You don't have any information, so you want to lie to me for 50 points of gifts?
Gu Hang turned off the [Event] function without thinking.
Then he really thought about it and turned this function on again.
I feel so itchy!
The unknown is so tempting.
"Generally speaking, the quality of things produced by the system is strongly linked to the gift points. The more you pay, the better the things you will get. Except for the two times when you drew technology cards, there was a 40% probability of missing two consecutive shots. Besides, it doesn’t seem like I’ve been tricked... But is it easy to be tricked by drawing an unknown event card? "
For a while, Gu Hang was tangled up in his mind and had many thoughts.
He is not a person with a complicated personality, but what can he do?
Too poor!
All problems are problems of poverty.
If he had enough gift points in his hand, wouldn't Gu Hang activate this event right away and see what it is? But if the unknown event is activated, the remaining 36 gifts will not be enough to upgrade.
After thinking carefully for a long time, Gu Hang decided to trust the system.
Although it was a gamble, he still made this choice based on the idea of 'system products, value for money'.
Of course, the more important point is that he has guaranteed means.
In less than two days, one month will be full. At that time, fixed monthly income will be paid. According to the development momentum of the forces under Gu Hang's command, there should be thirty or forty points of profit by then. To put it together, it should be enough for him to upgrade to LV3.
Relatively speaking, unknown events may be more cherished. After all, it has a countdown, and when the time passes, the event disappears.
It’s a limited-time lottery, so I have to win, right?
With this mentality, Gu Hang made the final choice.
The 50-point gift disappeared in a flash, and was replaced by brand-new information that appeared in his field of vision:
[Event activated: Phoenix is about to die]
[A Space Marine Chapter that is about to be destroyed has ended its Centennial Atonement Crusade and is approaching the Raging Star. It seems that they are looking for redemption and hope here. 】
[Please decide your actions carefully. Your behavior determines the next development of the incident. 】
[Event branch: Unknown. 】
……
When he saw the new event reminder mentioning that a Space Marine group was approaching the Raging Owl Star, Gu Hang could hardly control the expression on his face.
If there was a Space Marine Chapter to help him, what was there to worry about? No difficulty on Raging Owl can stop an entire battle group.
The term 'Space Marine' symbolizes glory, greatness...and death within the Empire.
They are the Emperor's angels of death.
It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, the God-Emperor used himself as a template to create many different gene seeds, selected the best people, and implanted the gene seeds to form the original Space Marines.
Each of them is an extraordinary being, possessing a body that is countless times stronger than ordinary people. They wear specially-made power armor connected to nerves. Their individual combat capabilities are extremely terrifying, and one can defeat a hundred without conventional operations.
It often only takes a few Space Marines to form a small team to kill tens of thousands of armies and behead generals, and this is just their regular mission.
They are true killing machines, and the Angels of Death live up to their name.
During the founding era, the major Space Marine legions were the sharpest swords in the hands of the Emperor, and they played an absolute role in creating the infinite territory of the Empire.
Then, some ten thousand years ago, after the Emperor ascended to godhood, all Space Marine Legions were broken up into smaller Chapters. According to the regulations of the Holy Code, the maximum size of a Space Marine Chapter is one thousand people.
Typically, a Chapter will have a homeworld. The Chapter's home planet does not need to provide taxes to the empire, and all manpower and material resources are allocated to the Chapter. Chapters can form mortal auxiliaries and chapter fleets, and have great autonomy. They will respond to calls from the highest ranks of the Empire and fight on the most horrific battlefields. But other than that, their actions are more arbitrary and have a high degree of freedom.
In Gu Hang's understanding, it was like a combination of warlord and feudal lord.
Will such a battle group come to Raging Owl Star?
Gu Hang quickly calmed down.
Again, the system comes with good value for money. For 50 points of gift, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be able to be exchanged for a Space Marine, let alone a war group.
Not so good.
He also noticed the information provided in the event interface that this was a dying war group.
That's good.
If it were a powerful war group, he wouldn't be able to say anything. The status of a chapter leader might be higher than that of a sector leader.
Gu Hang has realized that the blessings and disasters of this incident are unknown. He really had to act as cautiously as the system prompted, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
But overall, it also means opportunity.
If there are Space Marines who can help him, he will have absolute guarantee of force on the Raging Owl.
