Chapter 744: The Great Sage Visits

The other side of the Imperial Double-Headed Eagle is the Mechanicus, which everyone has to recognize.

Without the Mechanicus, a considerable portion of the Empire's navy and Astra Militarum would lose their equipment and supply sources; a considerable number of chapters would suddenly be cut off from food supplies.

This is their most important value - the largest side of the Empire's industrial production.

This is true both in terms of technological level and productivity.

In addition, based on their own strength, the Mechanicus also possesses powerful military force.

And within the Mechanicus, the status of the Martian Sect is undoubtedly the most important.

Even though there are various sects within the Mechanicus, many sects are not very submissive to Mars, their leader.

However, no matter how much you disobey in secret, you must obey in public.

All overt ambitions must be hidden, and small moves can only be made in secret.

Otherwise, if they were really punished by the patriarch, there would be few other branches of the Mechanicus in the entire empire that would be able to withstand it.

Among the Martian sect, the one with the highest status and who is also the leader of the sect is the Martian Forging General.

The Martian Cult controls many forge worlds, not just Mars. However, the most important one is Mars. The Forge General of Mars is the supreme leader of the entire cult. Moreover, the position of High Lord of the Mechanicus on the Supreme Council has always belonged to the Forge General since the establishment of the Council ten thousand years ago.

Under the Forge General, the Martian Sect has the largest number of great sages among all sects.

This is an existence of a higher level than the main sage.

The Alliance's intelligence agencies were still paying close attention to the Martian sect, especially the Cult of Mars, and the CIA branch that Salihovich brought to Holy Terra.

Although the Alliance has not had much dealings with the Martian Cult until now, their existence itself should not be ignored.

Of course, after all, the Foreign Intelligence Agency did not directly place agents into the Martian sect. At most, they sent dozens of people to Mars under different identities. All they could do was to collect some routine intelligence on a regular basis.

According to publicly available reports, there are a total of 17 Great Sages on Mars. It is possible that there are a considerable number of Great Sages who have not yet been exposed.

Among these seventeen, Kaur's name is on the list.

However, in general, this is a rather low-key and somewhat mysterious great sage. He rarely appears in public, and is rarely seen in many lectures given by great sages on Mars. It is still unknown what direction he is currently conducting research in and what key achievements he has made in the past.

The only thing that can be said is that this great sage came from a very ancient era. No one knows exactly how old he was, but at least five hundred years ago, there were some records of him.

He may be the oldest of all the great sages on Mars.

When he heard that he was coming to visit without informing him in advance and was already at the door, Gu Hang thought about it for a moment and felt that he had to meet him.

It's inappropriate not to see.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what was Kaul's purpose in meeting him?
But it didn't leave him guessing.

This great sage, who was hunched over, completely hidden under a robe, with his entire face covered with a mask, revealing all kinds of completely transformed facial organs, and even not much skin left, stated his purpose directly after entering the room and confirming that there was no one else around.

"Mr. Gu Hang, I want to see you for three things."

"You go ahead." Gu Hang was not surprised by the other party's straightforward approach.

It is normal for someone who comes uninvited to be direct. I have been talking in a roundabout way for a lot of times in the past month, so it is good to be more direct.

The Great Sage's somewhat harsh electronic synthesized voice continued to sound:
"First, I want to inform you that Yasdai has issued an order to the Assassin's Court to assassinate you."

"Ok?"

Gu Hang didn't expect it was about this matter.

He has never stopped investigating this matter. Salihovic's Foreign Intelligence Agency has a capable team that is specifically responsible for it.

There is also a line about the Assassins' Court.

However, there has been no progress so far. The matter is too secretive, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau cannot find out anything. The Assassin's Court abides by the rules and refuses to say anything.

Gu Hang had lost hope. Anyway, they were enemies and they would have to face each other eventually. We would just have to show our abilities and wait and see.

But I didn't expect to get clues in this way.

Yasdai, Gu Hang knew this person.

That is the chairman of the Devouring Star Realm, one of the high lords in the current Imperial Supreme Council.

The presidents of the universe domains are all eligible to elect high lords, but the probability of being elected is quite low. Among the more than fifty presidents of the universe domains, there are only one or two high lords in each batch, and sometimes there are none at all.

Moreover, they are often the lowest-ranking among the high lords. They are often other departments that are eligible to choose, such as the Ministry of Justice, the Psychic Order, and the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, which have not yet obtained a position.

In addition to this, there may be some additional seats, but they are not permanent, such as the Holy Mother Superior of the Sisters of Battle, and the Lord of the Sun, who was once Sohkaim.

Sometimes, when the people in these positions, or the department itself, are too weak to serve as high lords, the vacant seats will be filled by the elected chairman of the universe.

To put it bluntly, he is just making up the numbers among the high lords.

But no matter how much he makes up the numbers, he is still a high lord. Putting his status aside, in the Supreme Council, his vote will not be any different from anyone else's vote.

Because of this, some powerful high lords, especially those whose own interests are more closely related to local governments, would like to support a chairman of the Universe who has a good relationship with them and listens to them, to enter the High Lords' Council.

Isn't this vote equivalent to being yours?
For example, at present, the position of high lord of the chairman of the Devouring Star Universe was supported by the prime minister. When the prime minister needs it, the votes will follow the prime minister.

Of course, he was at least a local lord at the level of the chairman of the universe, and with the status of a high lord, he wouldn't be ordered around like a dog. When the prime minister didn't make clear requests, Yasdai could still vote according to his own ideas, especially on matters that were closely related to the interests of his own universe.

For example, in the Iron Armor War.

The Star-Swallowing Universe was a little dissatisfied that the conflict was so hasty that its own universe was damaged.

Therefore, it seemed natural that he would feel a little unhappy with himself.

But is the conflict between the two sides so serious that they have to resort to assassination?

And why did the Great Sage of the Mechanicus come to tell me this news?

Staring at the face that had been transformed to the point where it no longer looked like a human, Gu Hang became more and more suspicious.
