Chapter 305, The way to return to the Raging Owl Star
"Ha! Our genius is here!"
The person who spoke was none other than Zhang Guangen.
He is a pot-bellied man and is currently at a banquet.
The people participating in this banquet were mostly people from the Psychic Order - local psykers from the Pegasus Star District.
After hearing that an A-level psyker, Gu Hang, had appeared in this sector, many psykers rushed over from various planets; when they heard that Zhang Guangen was well-known throughout the universe, , and after arriving here, more people came to visit.
Zhang Guangen is very good at interpersonal communication. He is more like a politician than a scholar or a lonely psychic.
Gu Hang, a true politician, sometimes does not have the patience to receive visits from many people one by one, but Zhang Guangen is willing.
This may be the difference between a leader like Gu Hang, who holds real power, and an official like Zhang Guangen who works within a large system.
Under Zhang Guangen's warm invitation, Gu Hang joined the banquet.
While drinking and drinking, Gu Hang smiled and exchanged some non-nutritious nonsense with the people present.
He doesn't like this kind of scene, but that doesn't mean he's not good at it.
And Zhang Guangen was so considerate, how could he not know that Gu Hang came to visit this time because he had something to do with him?
He enjoyed the feeling of being supported by others, but after arriving in the Tianma Star District, the person he valued most was Gu Hang.
A-level psykers are rare.He is the only one in the Dragon Eagle Star Territory; in the entire Eastern Universe, there are more than 2000 planets, and the total number of A-level psykers does not exceed one hundred.
Every A-level psyker is a valuable asset.The addition of one means that the entire Star Territory has a higher say in the higher-level Psychic Order headquarters.
There is a lot of room for profit here.
The value of one Gu Hang is many times greater than that of the entire psychic cultivator in the Pegasus sector combined.
Soon, Zhang Guangen asked people to continue the banquet and communicate with each other, while he himself took Gu Hang to a private room with a terrace.
"What's the matter? Xiao Gu, do you have something to tell me?" He asked with a smile. There was no movement in his hands, but there were teacups, teapots, and plates, slowly flying over one by one, pouring tea and setting the dishes on his own.On the small table on the terrace, in a matter of seconds, a set of refreshments for the conversation had been laid out.
Gu Hang was not polite, he took a sip, praised it, and then got down to business: "I want to leave Koruga 3 for a while and return to the Raging Owl Star."
Zhang Guangen frowned.
He took a sip of tea and then said: "This matter... is not easy to handle. According to the requirements of the investigation team, no one is allowed to leave this planet. You are also a member of the investigation team and should know the rules."
"Well, so isn't this going to be your fault?" Of course Gu Hang can say nice things, "You have more face than I do. The rules are rigid, there must be some ways to work around them, please give me some advice from the Archmage It's a maze."
"Hahaha!" Gu Hang's somewhat flattering words made Zhang Guangen laugh out loud.
The happy Archmage said, "If it were anyone else, he would definitely be selfless and uncompromising. However, if it were you... then there are really some ways we can think of."
"Please ask the Archmage to help me think about it."
In fact, this is just an excuse.
Gu Hang himself was a member of the investigation team. How could he not understand the work of the three-level investigation team from the star zone to the star zone and then to the space zone?
In fact, at this time, the investigation team's work is not only not arduous, it can even be said that there is nothing to do.
Half a year has passed since the incident occurred, so what clues are there left to investigate?
It is nothing more than checking the people present at the time one by one, as well as checking the entire environment of Koruga 3.
In the investigation of the personnel, it has been concluded that there are a lot of people with the motive to commit the crime. The war apostles have offended too many people; however, no one has the ability to commit the crime.
If this matter must be said to be man-made, then the murderer must be a very powerful force, possessing some unknown means, to be able to do it.And the person who implemented it is definitely not at the scene, or even in the Tianma Star District.
This probability is very low.
At present, the three investigation teams all believe that this incident has a high probability of being an accidental disaster.
This conclusion is also supported by the fact that the abyssal erosion phenomenon has become more and more serious in the past six months on Koroga 3 as evidence.
It stands to reason that at this stage, the matter can actually be closed.
With the final conclusion that the investigation team sent directly by the Eastern Space Region government was eliminated, the convincingness should be high enough.The next step is for the investigation team to call it a day and the matter is generally over. The conclusions will be reported to the Empire Central Committee and signed by the Supreme Council of Holy Terra, and the whole matter will be finalized.
However, Gallardo's special status is that his death will directly alarm the Sun Lord himself.
This person directly leads the Terran Parliament and can be regarded as the de facto supreme ruler of the current empire. He is not so easy to believe in the conclusions of the local government.He didn't even ask the central government of the empire to send an investigation team to investigate. Instead, he directly formed an investigation team from his own expeditionary force.
Then there is nothing we can do, everyone has to wait here.
If you don't have a job, you can't leave.
Still have to wait nearly a year.
There are not just one or two people who complain a lot.The investigation team itself, which includes three levels, also has grievances.Who would be happy to come all the way to your Pegasus sector, only to spend an extra year here in vain?
In this case, some things will inevitably happen.
Everyone is a respectable person, and they all show their talents. It is not so unacceptable to leave for a while.
The riskier method is to pretend to stay here, but actually leave, as long as you come back before the Sun Lord's mission arrives.
Of course, the risk is high in being reported, which is quite troublesome; someone has to take the risk for you. Locals in the Pegasus District basically don't expect to have this kind of treatment, especially Peddes and Akuna, two key people with leadership responsibilities. , just afraid that people will run away.
In addition to the risks, there is another disgusting point, which is that after leaving in this way, you should not be too high-profile when doing things outside, otherwise the pretense of staying in Koruga will be self-defeating.
But Gu Hang was obviously not willing to take this approach.
And here, Zhang Guangen provided Gu Hang with a second idea:
"Aren't you the governor of the Raging Owl Star?"
"Yes."
"A year and a half ago on Raging Owl, there was a sign of a demon invasion. There was even a very powerful demon incarnation, but you were able to suppress it, right?"
"Yes."
"There were cult activities on your planet before, and there was even an iron man rebellion, and it was just put down?"
"Yes."
"Hiss... Xiao Gu, if you don't listen to my advice, don't want this planet. Follow me to Yunluo, and the two of us will make the business of the Psychic Society bigger and stronger. How great would it be? ?" "Master, you are joking." Gu Hang was also a little helpless.
Such words were fine in Raging Owl Star before, but when I came to other places, when people heard about what happened to Raging Owl Star in the past, they would all say this without exception.
"Okay, I won't persuade you any more." Zhang Guangen said, "However, since these things have happened on the angry owl star, then the investigation team may go to the angry owl star to investigate, and maybe they can get some clues, don't you think? "
Gu Hang pretended to be suddenly enlightened.
Of course, he had thought of this idea a long time ago, but it was best if Zhang Guangen proposed it. It was not right for him to propose it himself.
Zhang Guangen chuckled twice: "You are a member of the investigation team, of course you can go. However, the status of the star area investigation team is not enough, you must at least join the star area investigation team. I told you before How have you considered that matter?"
Gu Hang said sternly: "I have already thought about it. I am willing to join the Star Magic Hall of the Dragon Eagle Star Territory Psychic Religion to serve as your deputy and contribute to the development of the secrecy. However, I should be in The Angry Owl Star will establish a branch of the Order and develop the strength of the Order in the Pegasus Star Region. I will fully support every decision you make regarding the Order."
Zhang Guangen was a little regretful that he could not take Gu Hang to the capital of the Star Territory.However, he soon felt relieved. This was not a bad thing. Originally, he was the only A-level psyker in Yunluo Star, the capital of the Star Territory. If there was one more, something might happen.This Gu Hang seems to be a polite and carefree person now, but if he gets to that point, who knows if he will change.
Others are outside, but they can contribute the influence of an A-level psyker, can support the field, and even get off the field when necessary, then this will achieve his goal.
"Okay, then it's settled! I will issue you a letter of appointment from the Star Law Hall now, and recommend you to join the Star Territory Investigation Team. After the information reporting is completed, you will lead a team of people to go to the Raging Owl Xing investigates whether the root cause of the erosion of the abyss is related to the disappearance of Apostle Gallardo. The investigation time... is only three months. If it is not enough, you can renew it later. However, during this period, you have to come back frequently , report the situation, we can't really stay on the Raging Star for three months, do you understand?"
"I understand."
Gu Hang was actually a little unhappy.
From the Koroga Galaxy to the Angry Owl Galaxy, although only one interstellar jump is required, a single trip still takes at least six days, and a round trip would cost twelve days on the road.After going back and forth like this for several times, I am afraid that half of his three-month investigation period will be wasted on the road.
But nothing can be done.
In the final analysis, it was him who caused the matter, so just live with it.
As for the fact that there will be an investigation team to follow him to the Raging Owl Star... Come on, the person leading the team is Gu Hang himself. How can he find out about himself?
Even if someone really has a brain and insists on checking the leader, then Gu Hang is not afraid.The third-level investigation team couldn't find anything on Koluga 3 when searching for Gu Hang himself. How could it be possible that they could gain something by going to the Raging Owl?
There was only one thing he was really afraid of checking - the black box.
But he decided that this time when he returned, he would take all the black boxes into the Kingdom of Storm God.
No one can enter the Kingdom of Storm God without Gu Hang's permission.
Unless, call in.
Gu Hang doesn't think there are many people in the entire empire who can have this ability, let alone exist here.
As for Gu Hang himself joining the Psychic Order, this is an indifferent matter.
What does he need to pay?
It's just the name and influence of an A-level psyker.
On the contrary, you can gain something.
There is no need for him to do anything specific.
If you really want him to end up in a fight, just refuse.
The Psychic Order does not have such a strong binding force, especially on people like him.
...
It will take a certain amount of time to wait for the approval of the procedures from the investigation team.
As for Gu Hang, while waiting, he had nothing to do and went to the hive city - Fino City.
That's a occupied area.
The city of Fino, with a population of one billion, has become a huge devil's cave, an abyssal hell.
The imperial army, numbering at least tens of millions, is fighting among them.
Of these, 700 million are the native planetary defense forces on Koruga 3.
The strength level and equipment level of this army... completely fit the stereotype of a planetary defense force.
Food, equipment, discipline and morale are all in jeopardy.
Despite the fact that Koroga 3 has a population of 400 billion, the productivity of this planet cannot match this population at all.A large proportion of the population is essentially no different from raising pigs, and is used as a tax source.
If you say Koruga is rich, you are indeed rich. You can pay 40 billion in imperial taxes a year. If you say it is poor, it is really poor. Not only the people are poor, but in order to support such a large population, there is also serious corruption and administrative inefficiency. The problem has resulted in almost no good output except population.
In this case, they simply cannot afford an army that is too large and too elite.
The number of troops on Koroga 3 is approximately 0.5 million, accounting for [-]% of the entire population. Most of them cannot be mobilized and are responsible for suppressing various nests and avoiding riots.
Under various hives, the low-level people, who are no better than pigs and dogs, are rebelling almost every moment. Anyway, the left and right cannot survive. If there is a little incitement, wouldn't it be a riot?I'll fight you with an iron rod.
Those troops were responsible for suppressing the rebellion and could not be easily moved.
700 million was transferred, which is not bad.
They are mainly responsible for sealing off the entire nest on the periphery.In addition, some are used as 'cannon fodder' and are deployed by the Astra Militarum.
This Astral Army refers to the 300 million soldiers of the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion.
The first batch originally only brought 100 million people, but in the past six months, the number of troops has been increased four times, and now there are 300 million.
The person in charge was an Imperial Lieutenant General named Jayden Hansen.
He is the deputy commander of the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion.
As for this Astral Army, in addition to the 3rd Dragon Eagle Legion, there is also a less conspicuous force.
That is half of the Raging Bear Legion with a total number of 7.7 from Raging Owl Star.
The commander of this unit is Colonel Ruggie Likosi, commander of the 3rd Beast-Slaying Brigade.
