Chapter 72, are you pretending?
From the governor's camp to Fuxing City, it would take almost a whole day at the pace of the infantry.
In the evening, the team arrived outside Fuxing City.
Fuxing City had already known about Gu Hang's approach.
Gu Hang had no intention of hiding anything at all. He was so publicized along the way that it was difficult not to be discovered. Regarding Fuxing City, there are many ways to know in advance.
Fuxing City is not very large if we only count the inner city; but if we include the outer city, the area of the houses built haphazardly by the poor is not that small.
When Gu Hang and his team arrived at Fuxing City, they only stopped in the outer city.
An army stood in front of him.
Those are the defenders of Fuxing City.
A large number of soldiers occupied the slum area in front of the main entrance. They guarded the house, watching with eager eyes; there was a tank, hidden in a residential building, mostly blocked by the short houses, but its dark barrel was stretched out.
They blocked the progress of the governor's troops.
An officer, accompanied by several followers, came to the governor's procession and asked to see him.
Gu Hang met him.
The Fuxing City officer saluted Gu Hanghang: "Good day, Governor-General, I am Fuxing..."
"There is no need to inform you of your name, I am not interested in knowing it. Tell me, why is my city blocking my entry? Why are you soldiers who should be loyal to me standing on the opposite side of me?"
The officer who was interrupted from introducing himself swallowed.
He felt extremely nervous now.
He looked to the left, there was a giant in red armor, he knew it was a Space Marine; he looked to the right, there was a lady in white and green armor, that was a Battle Sister. He looked towards the middle again, that was his governor, the supreme ruler of the planet.
He thought to himself, how virtuous and capable he was, that he had the guts to speak in front of these legendary figures?
But he still spoke: "I am under the orders of the Alliance Council and the general of the Fuxing City garrison, Lieutenant General Mondoc, to... ask you to stop advancing. There is no problem for the Governor to enter the city, but he is only allowed to bring no more than a hundred people. Guards, and… and cannot include Space Marines or Sisters of Battle.”
Gu Hang seemed to have heard a super joke: "Mondoc? Lieutenant General? He made a request to me?"
The officer seemed to realize how absurd his statement was, and he could only lower his head slightly and remain silent.
"So." Gu Hang said, "I am now telling you as the governor of the Raging Owl Star, no matter what position or power the Mondoc you mentioned had before, he has none now. He is no longer an alliance member. , and is no longer the commander of the army. Now, take this news back to your comrades."
Gu Hang had already given this officer a chance.
But he didn't catch it.
It can be seen that he was under tremendous psychological pressure at the moment, but he still withstood it. He said: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Governor, but please listen to General Mondoc..."
Before I finished speaking, I couldn't continue.
He felt a magical force grabbing his throat.
Soon, he fainted due to cerebral ischemia.
After releasing his mind control and letting his body fall to the ground, Gu Hang waved his hand, and soldiers came up and dragged him away. This officer is very courageous.
But his courage was misplaced.
Martins said at this time: "Governor, the situation is now very clear. The behavior of Mondoc, who calls himself a general, is tantamount to rebellion. Now all those standing in front of us are rebels."
"So, what do you suggest, Chapter Commander Martins? Do you want to kill all the 'rebels'? Can the seven Phoenix warriors do it?"
Martins really calculated it carefully, and then said: "With just the seven of us, it will be difficult to completely defeat this 10,000-person force with heavy firepower and armor. I need the Holy Mercy Lily. The cooperation of the sisters also requires the cooperation of the Quintet's naval gunfire. At night, we can enter the target area, mark the orbital strike, and then the starship will strike first, and then we can start the sweep. Complete the mission at a reasonable price.”
Battle Sister Garrett raised objections: "I'm sorry, Chapter Master Martins, I really hope to have another chance to fight side by side with the Phoenix again. However, our mission to land on the surface this time is not to counter the rebellion. , but to deal with heretics. I will not participate in the mission of fighting against the mortal rebels. Please understand, Mr. Governor.”
Gu Hang was not disappointed, but showed a reassuring smile: "I understand, of course I understand. Chapter Commander Martins' plan is very suitable. When I think that all the enemies in front of me need to be eliminated, I will adopt your plan." Plan. But right now, we don’t need to make things that complicated.”
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Rest first. You have nothing to do after a whole day of marching. My soldiers need to rest before they can regain their fighting strength. As for the specific plan, I will tell you later, and I also ask you and Sister Gerrit to cooperate tomorrow. Me.”
Martins stared at Gu Hang for a moment and finally nodded.
Gerrit also made a statement: "We will not massacre mortal soldiers, but we will provide you with the necessary protection, Mr. Governor."
“Thank you very much for being able to do this.”
……
In Fuxing City, Norris and Bradford waited nervously for news from the outer city.
When they learned that Gu Hang had already set off, and that there were indeed Space Marines and even Battle Sisters around him, the two businessmen among the alliance councilors were already in a panic.
Regret filled their hearts, and they even raised objections when General Mondoc decided to lead his troops to set up defenses in the outer city.
But their opposition was as feeble as ever.
They could only watch as Mondoc stood in front of the Governor and pray that no conflict would break out.
As a result, it really didn’t break out.
Governor Gu actually stopped outside the outer city so obediently.
This is great news!
Bradford said: "It seems that we have overestimated Gu Hang's tough attitude. Perhaps his previous toughness was all fake."
Norris said happily: "At least, I can sleep peacefully tonight. We really need hard-line figures like Mondoc, he has done a good job."
"Yes." Bradford said, "The crisis of the war has been greatly reduced. Now, the only thing left is how to get the wayward governor to stop playing games of building camps outside and return to his place as soon as possible. Where it should be.”
"Yes, as long as he comes back, everything will be back on track."
"Just like the three previous presidents."
"Yes, we have countless ways to deal with him. No matter what the spring and autumn dream of saving the world, the angry owl star does not need his rescue. He just needs to be an honest governor, live a comfortable life for two years, and then two years later Just die in peace.”
