Chapter 78: Put down your weapons and become a traitor
To Gu Hang, killing Mondoc in this state was like squeezing a chicken to death. His psychic energy can lift his entire body into the air, and with the same power, there is no problem in breaking Mondoc's neck.
The reason why Gu Hang did not do this, but chose to draw his gun and execute him, was because of the sense of formality.
Gu Hang wanted to use this very symbolic shooting method to tell all the soldiers that their former commander was a guilty man and a traitor to the empire. And they should completely distance themselves from the traitors now and accept the leadership of the Governor.
He didn't plan to use all the 10,000 soldiers in Fuxing City right away. But at least, these people can never hinder his next actions.
If the Great Purge is inevitable, then it will start with the army.
Almost all of the soldiers watching around saw what happened in mid-air, and they all heard the Governor's declaration.
Is the general a traitor?
This news was a little hard to accept for a while.
If it weren't for Gu Hang's words, the soldiers would really regard Mondoc as a traitor and Gu Hang as the commander-in-chief. After all, they were not familiar with Gu Hang before this, but Mondoc had been their leader for several years. Many of them were officers promoted by General Mondoc.
Now, however, Mondoc is dead.
He died in front of them, being convicted and executed.
The object of allegiance has been lost.
Many people were at a loss.
So what to do next?
Revenge for the general?
This...
In the minds of some people who were deeply beholden to Mondoc, this might not be an option. In fact, some people did try to do this.
Some officers tried to continue to encourage the soldiers under their command to launch an attack.
But this doesn't work very well.
The most important point is that they have no way to deny Gu Hang's identity as a ruler. He was a true governor, and he executed the general, leaving the remaining soldiers with little reason to continue fighting. Merely relying on the officers' instigation is not that useful. Only a small number of people who don't understand clearly will take out their weapons and try to attack.
Facing these attacks, Gu Hang remained motionless in mid-air.
This is definitely not the time to back down. He just wants to stand here and spread the declaration he just made to the soldiers over and over again, deeply imprinting his identity into the minds of the soldiers.
As for those who are stubborn, their attacks are within the range that Gu Hang can handle. His telekinesis control is enough to allow him to catch the bullets fired at him within a certain distance and deflect them away, making them unable to hit. And even if he didn't have time to catch the rare bullets, he still had the body-protecting aura as a last resort to protect him.
If tens of thousands of people attacked him, Gu Hang would have to run away immediately. But this did not happen. After all, only a few people attacked him.
These few die-hards were immediately severely suppressed.
The Space Marines will take action.
The bolt gun in Phoenix's hand can always kill the rebels with precision.
The cult members that Gu Hang was worried about did not pose a threat to him at all.
His previous guess was correct. There must be magicians from the original Angry Owl Sect lurking in the army of Fuxing City. After he took off, those magicians quietly appeared and aimed at him. Within the scope covered by Gu Hang's psychic perception, he has already discovered traces of those heresies.
While they were planning to attack Gu Hang with psychic power, they were also trying to encourage the surrounding soldiers to continue attacking Gu Hang.
However, with his trust in the battle sisters, Gu Hang did not move.
And the sisters led by Sister Gerrit did indeed live up to Gu Hang's trust.
In the previous actions, the Holy Mercy Lily, which actually seemed to be a little fussy, became more active at this moment. The eleven people did not need to communicate, and they divided into groups of two in a very tacit understanding. Garrett acted alone, and a total of six groups rushed into the group of soldiers.
They shouted the name of the emperor and uncovered those who had taken off their disguises and were preparing to use the power of evil magic to attack Gu Hang.
They are true anti-cult experts and the natural enemies of all heretics, cults, and psykers.
A faint light shone on the bodies of the Holy Mercy Lily, indicating that the God Emperor's blessing had arrived. Within a certain range, all hostile psychic and evil means will be directly hindered.
There are certainly limits to this kind of hindrance. If the target's strength is too strong, the evil spells that should be able to be cast will still be cast. After all, their anti-psionic power comes from the divine arts they master and the Emperor's blessing. Essentially, when a hostile spell takes effect, their magical power immediately counters it.
But at least none of the sorcerers currently appearing can break through the anti-psionic suppression of the battle sisters.
Black magic and spiritual energy were ineffective, and those cultists mixed in were unable to fight back and were easily wiped out.
Seeing the Battle Sisters killing their 'comrades' around them, some soldiers started to resist. Whether they are instinctively fighting back, or they are really being deceived by the cultists, the Holy Mercy Lily will not be merciful and will destroy them all.
These cultists who lurked in were not much different from ordinary soldiers in appearance and dress. The soldiers did not know that these were cultists, and some thought they were massacring them.
In order to prevent the spread of this misunderstanding and cause the already very tense situation to slip into a completely uncontrollable situation, Gu Hang used his psychic energy to drum up a sound that once again sounded in the ears of all the soldiers:
"Put down your weapons! Stop resisting! The cultists who intend to destroy Renaissance City are plotting, and the Battle Sisters are purging the heretics. Put down your weapons! You will not be implicated! Anyone who continues to hold weapons will be regarded as a traitor!"
"Put down your weapons! Don't be a traitor!"
In a daze, a considerable number of soldiers finally stopped resisting.
At this moment, the infantry regiment led by Yan Fangxu also entered the scene.
They cautiously approached the Union Army's defense line, and also shouted with the Governor to put down their weapons and stop resisting.
The disarmed soldiers remained where they were; the few who still held weapons were executed regardless of whether they resisted or not.
The Governor acted as a humanoid radio station in mid-air, and also launched a "surrender halo" to the entire Alliance Legion; the Space Marines and Battle Sisters eliminated stubborn traitors from within and disarmed ordinary soldiers; the infantry regiment led by Yan Fangxu began to disarm from the outside...
The main battle ended here. Most of the Alliance soldiers chose to surrender after witnessing the general being tortured and shot, the Governor personally ordering the surrender, and facing the irresistible Space Marines and Battle Sisters.
They don't want to fight.
If you can't win and you don't know the point of continuing to fight, then why keep fighting?
