Chapter 52, not a violent beating
After activating the [Phoenix Checkmate] event, Gu Hang still had 36 points of gifts left.
Quite a bit, but not enough.
For a moment, he was itching to take this gift and draw a card.
There is a 40% probability of shipment. Can you still draw it after 3 draws?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
But he ultimately chose not to do that.
He still wants to upgrade. Waiting for the monthly fixed income to be paid, plus these 36 points, it will be enough. If you spend the gift now, you won't be able to upgrade it after two days.
In the end, he suppressed his thoughts about drawing cards.
……
After Gu Hang completed various system functions, he was almost rested.
Although my head still hurts a little, it's much better than when the battle just ended.
This also gave Gu Hang a lot of peace of mind: it seemed that the previous drain on his spiritual energy was not serious and did not affect his foundation.
After leaving the infantry fighting vehicle, the work of cleaning the battlefield continues.
The soldiers gathered together a large number of monster corpses or beaten to pieces. There were too many to put back all at once, so the rest were piled together so that they could be transported again later.
These are the raw materials for synthetic starch production lines.
In other places, 'corpse starch' may be a bad name, but here in Gu Hang, it seems to be real...
Although hungry people in the wasteland may not care much about this, as long as there is nothing wrong with eating, or there are no major problems, it is better than not eating at all. But Gu Hang still tried hard to hide the news. He couldn't keep it completely secret, but he certainly wouldn't take the initiative to publicize it.
After all, it's not something glorious.
While the troops were busy, Yan Fangxu came to him again.
Seeing that the captain's nose was a little crooked and there was a black patch above his left eye, Gu Hang was stunned for a moment: "Why are you injured like this? This shouldn't be an injury caused by the abscess monster, right?"
"Uh...it's nothing..."
"Oh!" Looking at the embarrassed face of Mr. Captain, Gu Hang suddenly realized and remembered what he had almost forgotten before, "Were you beaten up by your old subordinates?"
Yan Fangxu immediately became anxious: "What kind of beating? How can you call it a beating? Just... I accidentally lost one or two moves... It's not a beating..."
"Hahahaha!" Gu Hang was amused, "Yes, yes, it's not a violent beating, it's not a violent beating, it's just a small beating."
Yan Fangxu was speechless.
He didn't want to talk to the governor anymore, but he couldn't help but feel itchy.
Whispering, he couldn't help but said: "That...Mr. Governor...this intensive training...I..."
He was a little embarrassed to fully voice the request.
He always felt a little embarrassed when he couldn't defeat his old subordinates and ended up having to come to the governor to request to participate in that kind of special intensive training.
Gu Hang patted Yan Fangxu's shoulder and said, "How could I not agree to this request? But not now. Your potential is greater, and you deserve more severe and valuable training."
Yan Fangxu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Mr. Governor!"
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, but I want to say it first. If you gain something, you should give it. Everything in the world is not without price. If you want to get a gift from me, you should be more sincerely loyal to me."
Yan Fangxu understood what Gu Hang meant.
But he didn't dare to agree.
He is a member of the Imperial Navy, and his future is still in the stars and sea. Should he switch to a planetary governor and join the planetary defense force?
There is a gap.
The Imperial military system consists of roughly three parts: the Imperial Navy, the Imperial Astra Militarum, and the Planetary Defense Force. The first two are armies directly under the empire, with relatively high status. In theory, they are directly under the command of the empire's center and receive supplies from the empire. The Planetary Defense Force (PDF) is just a planet-level defense force, formed and led by the planetary governor.
The Empire will not care about PDF's training, equipment, and supplies, but sometimes PDFs will be recruited into the Astra Militarum, or used as imperial taxes. Often in high-intensity interstellar wars, PDFs will be used as cannon fodder by the empire's main forces. Navy men don't even look down on the head soldiers of the Astra Militarum, how can they look down on them as PDFs?
Comparing the captain of the Planetary Defense Force with the captain of the Imperial Navy, the idiot would choose the front.
But what about a general in the Planetary Defense Force versus a captain in the navy?
This... is hard to say. A Marine Corps captain, such as Yan Fangxu, at most only led a special marine company with hundreds of people under his command. Now he only has thirty people. But if you become a general, you may be able to become a very important figure on this planet.
But can you really become a general?
Accepting the offer to the governor was equivalent to putting all your wealth on it, betting that the governor in front of you would win.
Yan Fangxu didn't dare to gamble.
He is not a barefoot man, unlike the native residents of Angry Owl.
Seeing Yan Fangxu in a dilemma in front of him, Gu Hang did not force him. He smiled and patted the other party's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, it's still early, you don't have to make a decision now. No matter what, you are my subordinates at the moment and you will obey my orders. I believe that the future will come soon." You will have a decision in the future.”
Yan Fangxu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Hang gratefully.
Fortunately, the Governor did not insist on forcing him to make a choice at this time.
He worried that he had made the wrong choice.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Why did you come to see me?"
"There is indeed something serious. A troop from Fuxing City is approaching us. They don't seem to be hostile. The person leading the troop claims to be the grandson of Alliance Parliament Speaker Hodgson and is here to protect the safety of the Governor."
Gu Hang had a strange look on his face, and he didn't know if his tone was mocking or sighing: "The Alliance Council team...Whether they have evil intentions or they really want to defend me, it's too late for them."
"What do we do now? Disperse them?"
"No." Gu Hang waved his hand, "The matter is over. I want to see what they mean. You take the 3rd Battalion up, disarm them all, and then bring the people over. It just so happens that the battlefield needs more people. Come and clean. I also want to meet the grandson of the parliament president. What news will he bring to me?"
"Yes!"
Yan Fangxu went to work.
He didn't keep Gu Hang waiting for long, and quickly brought the person.
About five hundred soldiers, with their bare hands, began to clean up the battlefield honestly, and together with the soldiers under Gu Hang's original command, they carried away the monster corpses.
In addition, a young man wearing an officer's uniform was brought to Gu Hang.
"Lambert Hodgson." Gu Hang read out his name.
Young Lambert gave Gu Hanghang a military salute and said hello loudly: "Hello, Mr. Governor!"
"Why are you here?"
"Come to defend the Governor."
"Come here, does your grandfather know?"
"I am following the orders of the Speaker!"
"Then the time you came is a coincidence. My battle is over and the enemy has been eliminated. You should have come earlier, no matter what you want to do."
Lambert said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Governor, we are late... I also understand your doubts. But please believe that we are indeed here to protect you. My men and I will obey any of your orders unconditionally. , no regrets.”
Gu Hang smiled.
Let me add something more.
This book is an original world view + a lot of Warhammer 40k settings and Star Lords.
There are only settings, and there will be no specific characters, events, places and completely consistent history in Warhammer.
This book is mainly an interstellar science fiction text, or it can be called a space opera.
If you have to read it as a novel... that's not impossible, but if you see some settings that are different, please refer to the description in this book.
