Chapter 197, Could it be that I was exposed?
On the outskirts of Weixing City, Phoenix Monastery.
After more than half a year of construction, Phoenix Monastery no longer looks like a large construction site—at least not in the core area.
The main part of the chapel has been completed, and a larger main church is under construction next to it; the construction of the residence has been completed; the training site has also been planned.
Except for the larger and more magnificent parts, the main practical buildings of the monastery have been completed.
In the chapel, there is even a statue of the emperor, shining golden.
That is indeed gold casting. At present, in Star Fury, the value of precious metals is not only part of the industrial production, but also used as decorations, without the ability of currency, savings, and circulation. It is just right to use it to decorate chapels and emperor statues.
And just in front of the emperor's god statue, an old but tall and strong figure was kneeling there on one knee. He closed his eyes tightly and maintained this posture for a long time.
Pastor Rizzo always does.Even as a priest, he closed his eyes and prayed too long.
It wasn't in the past, but after coming to Fury Owl Star, the time he spent praying and trying to communicate with the emperor became longer and longer.
The other two members of Phoenix have been feeling at a loss for a long time recently.
After three consecutive gene-seed implantation operations failed, their chapter leader locked himself in the confession room and never came out.And their war group priest is in this state again.
The atmosphere is oppressive, and pain and confusion are also in their hearts.
But today seems a little different.
Although the head priest was still kneeling before the statue of the emperor to pray, the door of the confessional not far away was opened.
The Chapter Master finally came out.
But it's not reassuring.
They could see that Martins' huge body was a little stooped, a little tired, and there was some despair hidden.
An ordinary person who is desperate and desperate can cause a lot of damage, let alone an interstellar soldier.
They looked at the head of the chapter worriedly, and approached the head priest step by step.
They could feel that what was about to happen would determine the future fate of the Chapter, but they did not know what would happen.
Martins stood behind the head priest and stared at it for a long time.
During this process, his fists were clenched several times, but then relaxed.
In the end, he let out a deep breath, just like Rizzo, knelt in front of the emperor's statue, muttered some words, and then said sadly: "Head Priest, more than half a year ago, you said that you foresaw the vitality of the battle group, on this planet named Star Fury..."
Martins' voice at the moment seemed hoarse and unpleasant.
In the past period of time, he hardly drank any water, and his throat was very dry.
Pastor Rizzo, who was being questioned, opened his eyes, with a slight smile on his lips: "Yes, I did have such a foresight."
"Now, do you still insist on what you foresee?"
"Of course, I never doubted it."
"Even if..." Martins took a deep breath, "Even if the battle group has become like this?"
When it came to this question, Pastor Rizzo did not answer directly.
"Are you blaming me?" he asked back.
Martins was silent, but he glared at Rizzo, his bloodshot eyes, telling the answer.
Rizzo sighed: "It seems that you are indeed blaming me, but do you still remember what I said at the time?"
"You said that the hope of saving the battle group lies on Fury Owl Star..."
"No, that's not what I said."
Martins froze.
The space soldier's memory is very good, he immediately recalled the scene at that time to make sure that he remembered correctly.
What does the head pastor mean?
Rizzo continued: "What I'm saying is that the chance for the wargroup to be reborn from nirvana is there, and it should be on the governor of that planet."
"Is there any difference?"
"Of course." Rizzo put a smile on his face again, "Hope is never in a certain place, on a certain planet, but in a certain person. I have made it very clear."
"But..." Martins said immediately afterward, "The governor has done his best to help the war group, what else can he do?"
This is indeed Martins' idea, so he doesn't have much resentment towards Gu Hang.
The phoenix battle group and the governor of the angry owl star have always been an equal cooperative relationship.The mission entrusted by the governor, they looked at the situation and chose to execute it; if the mission was really outrageous, they could of course choose to refuse it.
Although sacrifices were made, it was a matter of course to fight against the enemies of the empire, whether they were believers of evil gods or green-skinned orcs.Governor Gu Hang did not harm them in this matter.Information that should be clear is clear, and support that should be in place is in place.The sacrifice of the fighting brothers was caused by the fighting with the enemy in the battle, and it cannot be blamed on Governor Gu.
And while they were performing tasks for the Governor, Fury Star also gave back.Build a monastery for the warband and let them choose candidates at will from among the planet's youths.Needed surgical gear, bought the latest; replenished their arsenal, and even sent them a set of precious Terminator power armor!
What else is there to say?
Gu Hang has done everything he can.
If the battle group wants to develop, what else does Fu Xiaoxing give them?
It's useless to give anything!
What they lack most now is people, fighting brothers, and gene seeds!
In this matter, is Governor Gu still able to help?
But Reverend Rizzo said at this time: "Governor Gu has indeed done his best to help the 'now' phoenix group. But for the future group that will be saved, it is far from enough. He can do more."
"What do you mean?" Martins asked eagerly, "Did you foresee something else? There are only four of us in the warband, and we must unite for the survival of the warband! Why are you still hiding it at this time?"
"I just don't know what to say." Rizzo sighed, "What is the help that the warband needs most now?"
"Is it... a gene seed?" Martins couldn't even figure it out, and even hesitated to answer this answer.
"Yes, so now we need gene seeds, why don't we go to Governor Gu for help?"
"Huh?" Martins felt very baffled, "He may be able to help us in countless places, but this place is the only one..."
"As I said, I foresee that the rescue of the battle group will fall on Governor Gu. Since we have reached the border of life and death, we need gene seeds to save our battle group, so let's go to the governor."
"You mean, Governor Gu will have our gene seeds in his hands?" Martins narrowed his eyes and had countless thoughts in his mind.
Rizzo once again did not answer directly, but asked another question: "Martins, are you willing to pay all the price for the continuation of the warband?"
"Of course I would!" Martins replied emphatically, "But it's not related to..."
Rizzo waved his hand, preventing him from continuing, and looked at the other two parties present.
"what about you?"
"Of course I'm willing!" The attitude of the two veterans was also decisive.
Rizzo nodded.
He stood up, faced the three brothers, and said, "Let's go, let's go to see His Excellency the Governor, the savior of the battle group, and see how he saved our battle group."
……
Four interstellar warriors came together to visit, all fully armed, which shocked Gu Hang.
But after he heard the news, he still met them in his office hall.
Today's Gu Hang is no longer what it used to be.
In half a year, not only his power expanded rapidly, but also his personal strength.
In the system, on his personal character interface, he is a LV5 psyker.In the battle on the Quintet three months ago, against the Warlord of the Orc Fleet, he was even the main force.
He himself assessed that under this level, he might not be afraid of Martins, the chapter leader, even in a one-on-one fight.
Of course, being surrounded by four space warriors at the same time may still cause problems, but he can't escape if he can't beat him?
This city is full of his people!
And the reason why Gu Hang thought about this in the first place was mainly because the gang of space fighters came too aggressively and too suddenly.He didn't know what happened, so naturally he thought about the worst.
Of course, when we actually met, Gu Hang still had a bright smile on his face.
He first opened his mouth to welcome the arrival of the interstellar warriors, and then he did not make unnecessary temptations or insinuations, but asked straight to the point: "I don't know if there is any specific matter that the four masters are here today. Do you need my help to solve it? The phoenix has made great efforts and sacrifices for the reconstruction and revival of Fury.
Facing Governor Gu's question, none of the four space warriors who were full of momentum spoke.
They don't know how to say it.
Naturally, the two soldiers didn't mention much, they were here to witness, and today they only brought eyes and ears, not a mouth.
And the two leaders... Martins looked at Rizzo, and found that the latter had no intention of speaking at all.
This has always been Rizzo's attitude: you are the leader of the chapter, and all decisions should be made by you.
Is this a good thing?
At least Martins didn't feel it, he just felt a heavy burden.
Sometimes, he very much hopes that there is someone who can make some decisions instead of him. No matter whether the decision is wrong or right, he just needs to follow, implement, and do his best.
That must be countless times easier than it is now.
Putting away his thoughts, he still has to shoulder the responsibilities of the chapter leader and find a way out for the continuation of the chapter.
Martins was also not good at beating around the bush, so he also said bluntly: "We are here for the survival of the Phoenix Squadron, and we need the help of Your Excellency the Governor."
"Oh?" Gu Hang has already let go of most of his heart.
Ask for help, tell me earlier.
It was so aggressive, I thought something was wrong and you guys were going to kill me.
Eh?No, where is there something wrong!I am a loyal minister of the Great Empire!
However, Gu Hang was a little puzzled.
He said: "You need help, of course there is no problem, but with all due respect, I have always been grateful for your dedication in the past, and I have tried my best to help you. I don't know where else I can help you. If there is something I don't do well, you can also bring it up. I am all ears."
Martins took a deep breath and said, "We need gene seeds."
What?
gene seed?
Find me?
Fortunately, he wasn't drinking water at the moment, otherwise he couldn't guarantee whether he would spit it out in one breath.
Coughing twice, covering up the shock in his eyes, he pretended to be calm and asked: "This... I understand what a gene seed is, but how can I help you? I don't understand."
Martins was a little discouraged again.
That's right, he is a governor, how can he help with gene seeds?
His gaze once again involuntarily looked at Rizzo next to him.
Rizzo remained silent.
Martins got angry from his heart, and said in a broken jar, "Eight months ago, we were wandering in the starry sky..."
He told what happened at that time.
From their predicament, from Rizzo's foresight that the battle group's salvation will fall on Gu Hang, to their arrival on Star Fury.
Even including the previous conversation between him and Rizzo in the Phoenix Monastery, he said everything cleanly.
Head pastor, aren't you saying nothing?
Then I'll tell you everything!
Rizzo's expression remained unchanged, and he let Martins shake everything out.
Gu Hang looked at the head priest of the phoenix in shock, with an expression of disbelief and complete ignorance of the reason.
But in fact, he was already making quick calculations in his mind.
Eight months ago, that should be the time when I activated the time-limited event [Phoenix will die].
Was it the power of the system that mobilized Rizzo, the head priest, to foresee something in his prayers?
What's the point of this?
As a pastor, when you prayed to the Emperor, you were directed to Fury Owl Star and me?
The hidden meaning behind this whole thing made Gu Hang shudder.
However, more serious problems are still ahead.
After Martins finished all this, he was looking at him with expectant eyes.
Not only Martins, but also the two space warriors behind him had the same attitude.
And how should I respond to myself?
Gene seeds... can be given, one hundred gift points counts one.
For him when the event was just activated, he couldn't even take out the one hundred gifts at that time; if he could take it out, it was extremely painful.
But for him now, the monthly fixed income is [-] yuan, and he can take [-] points casually.
But the question is... to give it?
If you admit it, how much risk will this matter bring, and how much impact will it bring?
