Chapter 114, Termination Ceremony
Feeling dizzy, Gu Hang refused the support of the soldiers who came forward and walked towards the group of communications soldiers.
While resting nearby, he said: "If there is any news from other places, please tell me as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
After saying that, Gu Hang closed his eyes and sat in the rain to rest his mind.
It's not that the governor is reluctant to even put up an awning. The main reason is that under the current environment, the awning is really unsupportable and will be blown away.
Fortunately, Gu Hang didn't care about this.
In the next ten or twenty minutes, news came from various places one by one. One after another, three more Angry Owl projections from wind farms were eliminated.
Counting the previous four, this adds up to seven.
A smile appeared on Gu Hang's face with his eyes closed.
It seems that the problem is not big anymore.
But a few minutes later, the news about the last wind farm he had been waiting for never came.
The smile on Gu Hang's face disappeared.
"Call and ask what's going on over there and what the situation is now."
The signal soldier did as he was told and soon received a reply.
"Five minutes ago, a Space Marine and two Sisters arrived. They... they..."
At this point, the communication soldier was a little hesitant, and Gu Hang already had a bad feeling:
"Say it quickly."
"Yes!" The signal soldier didn't bother to formulate any more words. He quickly spoke and told the situation dryly in the order of what happened. "There was a space warrior who touched the hole first. Then after a while After a while, the hole did not disappear, but the Space Marine fell down. Then the two nuns checked the situation and said that the Space Marine was dead. One of them went up to touch the hole, but he also fell... The rest. The nun below has seized the communication signal and is calling for help.”
Gu Hang's face turned completely dark.
Although it was not a complete failure, he could realize that he was now in big trouble.
Apart from him, a high-level psyker, the only ones who have a relatively high degree of confidence in being able to deal with the remaining Angry Owl projections in the original wind farms are the Space Marines.
These Phoenix veterans who have experienced the Atonement Expedition, at least one of whom has more than a hundred years of combat experience, are all extremely determined people. But there are only seven of them, and together with Gu Hang himself, it stands to reason that they can deal with all the angry owl projections.
Although it was extremely extreme, Gu Hang really never thought that they would miss.
However, even if the phoenixes are in the spiritual realm and use their own will to fight against the incarnation of the angry owl, the winning rate is 70 to 80%, but it is not inconceivable that they have to encounter it seven times in a row. What's more, Gu Hang remembered that there was an unlucky guy among the Phoenix. In the previous battle, he was first blasted by a wind bomb, and then when the angry owl's incarnation appeared, the same guy got a slap in the face.
Although there is no definite evidence, Gu Hang suspects that this person was the one who died in the accident... Maybe the soldier in front had been seriously injured and was in poor condition, and then he had to go to the spiritual realm to use pure will When fighting against the Angry Owl's projection, he was accidentally defeated.
Losing a Space Marine hurts.
Although the phoenix can still only be regarded as his ally, the relationship between them is not the kind of "friendly troops are in trouble and remain immobile". On the contrary, during this period of time, the two sides have cooperated relatively well.
Even though their existence made Gu Hang devote a lot of manpower to building a monastery for them, Wu Jiarong's research institute also found time to rub explosives for them. But these Space Marines are on to something. The price Gu Hang paid was not as much as the money paid by the mercenaries.
In turn, these Phoenix warriors helped him a lot.
With the loss of one person, Gu Hang felt that he had lost at least 300 points of gifts - this was the price of a standard space warrior, not counting the veteran experience.
In addition to his own losses, the death of a Phoenix directly announced that there was a major flaw in the action to terminate this cult ritual.
Seven space warriors correspond to seven wind farms, so there is no room for error.
If something really goes wrong, it will be extremely difficult to make up for it. The Battle Sister who dies right after the dead Phoenix is one example. In the entire Fuxing City, how can we find any existence with a spiritual will as strong as the Space Marines?
The only person Gu Hang could think of to ask for help was Garuite.
Is this nun willing to let the nine nuns under her who are still alive try to fight to the death with the angry owl projection one by one?
Gu Hang felt that he couldn't open his mouth.
The head nun's subordinates have already sacrificed two people; but if it was just a sacrifice, it would be okay. The key point is that no one knows what the chances of winning are for the nuns who have devoted themselves to the spiritual realm to challenge the angry owl projection one by one.
All nine nuns died and the problem was not solved?
Garrett would hesitate.
But Gu Hang seemed to have no other options.
He took a deep breath and said to the communication soldier standing by: "Go and ask to see where Sister Gerrit is now. I want to speak to her."
"Yes!"
The signal soldier left in a hurry to carry out the order.
However, at this moment, Gu Hang heard an extremely unwilling roar, coming from the horizon and from the void.
Suddenly, he felt that the dark clouds that had been shrouding the city were tending to disperse; the storm and heavy rain that had been intensifying suddenly seemed to be much lighter.
Gu Hang was a little shocked: The ceremony was terminated?
Has the Angry Owl projection been eliminated?
But why?
Who took action?
Could it be that the last remaining nun mentioned in the previous intelligence broke out and defeated the Angry Owl Projection?
Gu Hang's heart was shrouded in huge surprise!
No matter what it is, this is great news!
Although the final result is good, this roller coaster-like mood change is too unkind to the heart. If possible, Gu Hang really didn't want to have a similar experience again.
Immediately afterwards, another signal soldier came to report the news.
"Lord Governor, there is new information coming from the wind farm where a Space Marine and a Battle Sister were lost earlier! They have solved the problem!"
"I know." Gu Hang said with a smile on his face, "Who solved the problem in the end? Was it the battle nun?"
"No."
Um?
Hearing this answer, Gu Hang was stunned.
"Who is that?"
"It's Thaddeus."
Thaddeus? This name was somewhat familiar to Gu Hang.
He instantly recalled the series of battles in which the previous food transport team was attacked. He had read the battle report. During that battle, the position of political commissar he established played a huge role.
At that time, the most eye-catching person he paid attention to was naturally Cody, who sacrificed himself to turn a battle into victory.
As for Thaddeus, it seems that in Cody's story, he is just a background board.
However, just such a character who looks like a background board has become the key to saving the entire city.
Now Gu Hang is very curious, how did Thaddeus do it?
