Chapter 22, The Primordial Raging Cult

A number of Marines fired with electromagnetic guns, firing ferociously.

Under the ferocious fire, the middle-aged man was unable to launch a counterattack like before, and could only barely maintain a storm shield from being shot.

But he couldn't take it anymore.

Extraordinary power is powerful, but it can't shoot with the full force of many electromagnetic rifles. The fact that he can hold on for a few seconds is actually surprising enough.

Seeing that the storm shield was about to be unstoppable, the mortal body behind it must not be able to withstand even a single metal spike, and it was about to be killed.

But at this point, the Marines ceased fire.

At this moment, there is of course only one person who can make them stop attacking: Gu Hang.

"Catch a live."

Yan Fangxu raised his fist and signaled a ceasefire.

And at this moment, the storm shield on the man's body was already very weak. A white swirling cyclic storm that has become very pale and almost fading.

The guy himself was pale, half frightened by the current desperate situation, and the other half was uncomfortable by the excessive spiritual exertion.

Gu Hang stepped forward, and with just a wave of his hand, the invisible soul blade pinpointed the weakness of the storm shield that had been exposed, and directly cut it.

The spiritual energy backlash suddenly made the middle-aged man vomit a mouthful of blood.

Gu Hang glanced at his face, and then said, "Wohan, right, we met once, when I first came to this planet. ”

Hearing Gu Hang's words, Wohan's somewhat dull eyes became a little more agile, as if he had reacted.

Before he had time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, he spoke, "Governor...... Your Excellency the Governor...... I can explain...... I ......"

Speaking of which, he's a little stuck.

"Huh? Why don't you go on? Don't even know how to quibble? ”

Wohan really didn't know what to say.

Of course, there is no need to talk nonsense with his eyes open, as soon as he robs the goods, the things have just been shipped back, and before he even has time to load the warehouse, the governor's troops have already arrived, and the mercenaries he has cooperated with for many years have been completely crushed.

If you are directly arrested and you get all the stolen goods, how can you quibble?

"I have lost, Lord Doge, I accept all charges, I surrender to you completely, I beg you, spare my life, I am willing to pay any price......"

As he spoke, he struggled to move twice, knelt on the ground, and bowed to Gu Hang for a long time.

He had tried to be as sincere as possible.

Gu Hang smiled happily: "When you reach the end of the road, you know that it is too late to get lost." Vohan, I regret that you were once a member of the Alliance, and you were supposed to be a member of the planetary polity under the Governor, and could have been a full-fledged official recognized by the Empire. But you have committed a felony, plundering goods, assaulting the governor, disobeying the yin, and...... Collusion with cults. ”

"I totally admit it...... What? Collusion with cults? No, no, no......" Hearing the last four words, Wohan's eyes widened.

He's not a civilian who doesn't know anything, he understands one thing perfectly.

If there is only the first three, he may still have a chance to live. After all, his greatest sin was nothing more than antagonism to the Governor. Now, he's lost, but not cleanly.

He still has industry and influence in Fuxing City, and he controls a very important part of the grain trade. These should be of value to the Governor, and if he surrenders completely, is willing to surrender all this, and becomes a loyal and reliable dog to the Governor, he may really have a way to live. Or, through the current difficulties, after two years the governor is finished, he may still be a big man in Fuxing City.

However, if you get caught in a cult, it's over.

On the scale of the entire empire, the so-called heresies, cults, are the most important internal traitors, incomparably serious crimes, and unforgivable. There is only one faith in the empire - the Great God Emperor.

On the Raging Owl Star, the Cult is in a slightly better situation - but only a little. There are too many factors that threaten the survival of mankind on the planet of Guy Fury, and he can't care about the large-scale elimination of cult heresies.

But this does not mean that there will be tenderness towards those who have been identified as heretics.

The heresy on the Raging Owl Star can basically be equated with the 'Primordial Owl Beast Sect'.

The name Raging Owl is named after a large predatory land creature that existed on the planet before the war of annihilation, with a body resembling a giant bear covered in feathers, an owl-like head, and antlers. Judging from the existing information, this creature has a somewhat silly appearance, a peaceful and docile personality, but a very fierce anger.

And this sect believes that on the once beautiful angry star, the beast represents a beautiful image. The first owl was born with the planet and became a god, protecting the entire planet. And the war that destroyed the world angered the primordial beast, and his wrath turned into an eternal storm of waste energy on the surface of the planet, which will never cease until the world has atoned for its sins.

And the 'Sect of the Primordial Beasts' is dedicated to atonement. In addition to their own religious rituals, their most important rite of atonement was to offer to the gods sinners who did not believe in their will to ask for 'forgiveness'.

They also did a lot of damage. The appalling blood sacrifice is just that, anyway, human life on the angry star is not worth much, being eaten by mutant monsters, starved to death, and dying of illness seems to be not much different from being sacrificed by the blood of the cult.

But the point is that they won't target just a few, the goal of this sub-cult is to make the entire planet atone for the gods. They have created many events that have destroyed an entire settlement, and they are committed to expanding the area contaminated by waste-powered storms, which will lead to the reduction of cultivated land, the unusability of ore veins, and the complete destruction of the factories they have invested in.

This becomes a public enemy.

Whether it was from the level of imperial law or from the situation of the Angry Owl itself, Wohan knew that if he found out about colluding with the cult, he would definitely die.

He regretted it immensely now, why did he use the Storm Spell when the other party broke down the door?

The key is that you can't escape!

He could only try to quibble in this regard again: "Your Excellency, please believe it! I didn't collude with the cult! I don't know them at all! I'm ...... I'm ...... I just suddenly found out one day that I could use ......"

Gu Hang nodded: "I heard your testimony, I will verify it." Next, you will be interrogated and confess everything you know. And in the end, I will hold a trial against you in Fuxing City to make the final verdict. Don't worry, it won't be too long, and you'll get the end you deserve soon. ”
