Chapter 821, Gu Hang Arrives

Chapter 821, Gu Hang Arrives

Alvin's tactical plan was quite successful.

He first made a feint attack to draw away a wave of defensive forces, then turned around and worked together with Shaka to quickly rush into the engine control room.

If you have a choice, blowing up the engine is the best option.

But placing a bomb powerful enough to blow up a starship's engine takes some time, and it also has to be guarded to prevent anyone from dismantling it. After the explosion, there is also relatively little space for escape... In short, it is somewhat difficult.

What's more, a starship will not have only one engine, even the main engine will have more than one.

This is even more true when it comes to destroyers.

Shutting it down can certainly affect the power performance of the entire battleship, but it is not certain whether it can really reduce its speed to the point where it can be caught up by the pursuing Allied Navy.

Of course, if the situation is one of desperate gambles, perishing together with the battleship's engine room is not an impossible option.

But now, it’s not yet like that.

They have another mission to do.

Therefore, in the engine control room, they simply temporarily shut down the engine power output there, and then quickly evacuated, leaving the defenders who rushed over empty-handed.

Of course, it was not enough to just shut down the ship's engine in the control room without destroying it. Especially since they did not hold on to this place and were quickly taken back by others, the shut down engine was quickly restarted. After the speed of the entire assault ship suddenly dropped for a short period of time, it immediately picked up again.

At this time, the team led by Alvin and Shaka had already raided the energy compartment of the starship.

Here, they encountered relatively strong resistance.

Although there were only a few veterans of the warband guarding here, there were a large number of mortal auxiliary troops with outstanding elite and fighting will. The layers of defense set up along the inside of the starship resisted quite resolutely, making it quite difficult for Alvin and his men to fight.

However, Alvin and his team's goal was not to actually break into the energy cabin.

Alvin still remembered clearly what Shaka said to him before he boarded the ship:

"Bring me within 500 meters of the energy chamber and everything will be over."

And now, the distance of 500 meters has been reached.

They were still fighting forward, but they were not fighting resolutely, just for show.

As long as no one threatens Shaka, it's fine. He has closed his blue eyes and muttered something.

However, the threat came quickly.

After all, they were facing a mature war group with hundreds of years of experience.

Three minutes after they advanced to within 500 meters of the energy cabin, Milorila's scarlet cloak finally appeared on the scene.

The Grand Master's holy sword cut open the chest of a Pure Fire Brotherhood warrior in front of Alvin, and repelled their attack on the energy chamber.

"Your stubbornness disgusts me, Alvin." Milorila's voice came from thirty-six directions at the same time, and the single eye on the sword guard emitted a dangerous red light.

Alvin ignored him at first and just ordered a retreat. The whole team went to where Shaka was and began to tighten the defense line.

But this effort is a bit difficult.

Milorira came with his entire Bloodsworn Guards, which were almost the most elite troops in the Chapter, with more than 30 warriors, equipped with the best equipment in the Chapter, and everyone was at the level of a model warrior or above.

Miloriela is the Grand Mentor, who is equivalent to the Chapter Master, and he is also the strongest person in the Chapter.

Beside him, there were the chief priest of the regiment and the flag bearer of the Blood Oath Guard. The strength of these two was stronger than that of the captain of the third company, Nata, who died at the hands of Alvin.

Alvin might not be a match for any one of these three, let alone all of them? Moreover, there were almost twice as many Blood Oath Guards gathered beside him.

Ruined.

Now it's up to Shaka.

Although, the guy had been silent for several minutes after closing his eyes, which made Alvin a little worried. However, no matter whether he believed Shaka's words before or not, he could only believe that Shaka could really save them.

He resisted the urge to look in Shaka's direction, staring directly at Milorila and angrily yelling:
"Traitor! You are unworthy of the Unforgotten Oath, and you have insulted the Chapter!"

"I'm not worthy? Are you, an Alliance member like you who has only been in the Chapter for a few years and has never accepted the Chapter's culture from the bottom of your heart, worthy of being a member of the Chapter?"

Alvin was delighted to hear Milorila's reply.

Yes, that’s it, let’s chat more and criticize each other.

I'm waiting for time, you're waiting for death! He retorted, "Of course! We are loyal to humanity, the Empire, and the Alliance! No matter what culture the Chapter has, this foundation must not be betrayed. And betraying these..."

"That's enough!" Milorila interrupted Alvin with disgust. "Allowing you to delay for two more sentences is already my greatest mercy. Now, prepare to die..."

Just as Alvin was extremely nervous and preparing for a fatal battle.

The next moment, some kind of vibration beyond sound suddenly tore apart all the subspace echoes.

The way Gu Hang descended caused a gap in time - the previous moment, the place was filled with screams, and the next moment all sounds were swallowed up by the silence of absolute zero.

Alvin felt as if both of his hearts had stopped beating at the same time.

The figure that had appeared countless times in the alliance's various promotional videos suddenly appeared and stood between Milorila and Alvin.

"You did a great job." Gu Hang half turned his head and looked at Alvin with a smile.

From his profile, Alvin felt that the Governor's eyes were like stars, and his voice was like a warm spring breeze that suddenly blew over, causing Alvin's heart, which had almost stopped beating, to start beating again.

However, these feelings are completely opposite in the hearts of the Space Marines who have never forgotten their oath.

Milorila was now filled with shock.

Why is Gu Hang here?
There has never been any intelligence mentioning that Gu Hang came to the battlefield on the southern line of the Dark Expedition!

How could he appear on the warship of the Unforgotten Oath?
After a moment of shock, Milorila gritted his teeth, picked up the holy sword in his hand, and charged towards Gu Hang.

No matter what the reason was, the person was in front of him now. It was said that Gu Hang was a top psychic. What he had to do now was to rush to Gu Hang's side and kill him with one blow before he could show his legendary psychic power that even Holy Terra was afraid of.

Perhaps, this is my only chance to strike.

Alvin, who was still enjoying the spring breeze, saw Milorila's swift charge.

His eyes widened instantly, and he shouted "Watch out!", and rushed forward to block the Governor's knife.

But his explosive speed is much slower than Milorila's.

When he took only the second step, Milorila had already crossed half the distance between him and Gu Hang.

Alvin was already shouting "no" in his heart, but the next moment, he froze in place awkwardly.

Because he saw that the menacing Chapter Master of the Unforgotten Oath was also frozen.

Gu Hang only raised his hand and made a fist, and Milorila was unable to move. The holy relic, the Sword of Atonement, which was constantly mentioned in the historical documents of the regiment, and the single eye on the sword hilt suddenly began to decompose at this moment.

The Grand Master's scream turned into silence as soon as it came out of his mouth. His finely crafted power armor inlaid with many medals and patterns was undergoing formatting at both the physical and system levels.

When Shaka knelt on one knee, the sparks from the psychic crown annihilated into a data stream three meters around the Governor. Alvin saw that Milorila's body began to take on a certain perfect form - each cell followed the golden ratio of fission, and each drop of blood was undergoing fractal iteration. This "order" that transcended the laws of physics was more horrifying than any torture.

"Why... why..." The Grand Master's vocal cords made a sound of gears jamming in the process of ordering, "You are definitely not a human being... How can an existence like you... obey humans..."

The Governor's eyes swept over Milorila's body that was fractalizing and crystallizing, and he chuckled, "Don't confuse cause and effect. I am not obeying humans. I am a human. This is just the next stage of psychic evolution. How can it change my essence as a human being?"

Gu Hang said this without blushing at all.

The emperor says every day that he is a human being, so why can I say that he is not a human being?
Milorila wanted to refute, but it was pointless. When the light in his eyes flickered for the last time, the image left on his retina was not the real scene, but countless self-replicating Gu Hang, folding the illusory universe into the shape he wanted, as if it was half of a toy. Before his consciousness dissipated, he finally understood that the real horror was not the disordered chaos, but the cold rationality that could compress infinite possibilities into an absolute formula.

After his consciousness disappeared, several fragments of spiritual light were collected by Gu Hang.

As his gaze swept across the battlefield, almost every veteran of the chapter who had never forgotten his oath found that they were unable to move.

The Governor turned and walked towards the airlock door with a pace precise to the nanosecond, and the folds of his executive robe seemed to be flowing with the projection of the Milky Way's cantilever.

"Clean it up." This command was accompanied by a quantum-level psychic pulse. The servo systems of all the surviving traitor power armors suddenly began to execute the self-destruction protocol. The entire power armor became a piece of scrap metal with only a shell but no internal components.

When Shaka stood up from the ground, the crown made of psychic energy on his head had dissipated, revealing his handsome face after taking off his helmet. He looked in the direction where the governor disappeared, and hummed something devoutly.

And after coming to his senses, Alvin, along with his brotherhood members, carried out the Governor's orders.

The roar of the bolter sounded again, but this time it was an execution shot aimed at the traitor's power armor core. As Alvin smashed his hammer into the still twitching bodies of the traitors, he suddenly realized that there was condensation on his visor display screen - after witnessing the absolute power that transcends reality and illusion, even the genetically modified heart of the Space Marine needs time to calm down.

He also observed that for every veteran of the Unforgotten Oath who was eliminated, some light spots would emerge from the body and float towards the direction the Governor left.

Alvin didn't know what that was, he was thinking.

At this moment, Shaka suddenly pressed Alvin's shoulder armor, and spoke with unprecedented solemnity: "Never ask for all the 'truths'. If you must know a truth, you must stick to your belief: fighting for Gu Hang is fighting for humanity."
