Chapter 230, Upgrade! Level 6 psionic energy, the storm is coming!
Event Activated: The Storm is Approaching
[The cult that believed in the primordial angry owl broke out in its final madness at the moment when it was about to be destroyed. 】
[They are about to summon the owl god who has become a member of the abyssal evil god in desperation. 】
Your bravest warriors are doing their best to prevent this from happening, and what you do next will have a decisive impact. 】
……
Looking at the news swiped out on the [Event] interface, Gu Hang took a deep breath and decided to go to the north in person.
Of course, he knew about the situation in the Polar Industrial City, and the command was always reporting information to him.
He knew that the city was now so to speak of the Union flag; He also knew that his most elite group of fighters had descended into the underground space of the so-called C7 area and started a firefight with the cultists.
He knew that this time, under the proposal of Gruet, although the cost of payment was relatively high, the alliance instantly mobilized a huge amount of power, and put the cutting-edge power at hand into the same thing.
But for now, it seems that this choice is the right one. The alliance struck with all its might, showing great strength, and carried out a rapid raid in a way unimaginable to the local forces of the Angry Owl Star, which indeed completely subdued the Polar Industries Group, and the entire northern territory would also be at your fingertips.
Although it will take a long time to pacify other regions and rebuild the alliance's own ruling system. Overall, however, it was certainly shorter than the time it took to recover the eastern provinces.
What's more, this operation also has a great value, that is, it can sweep away the Plains First Anger Sect in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as a thorn in Gu Hang's heart.
Gu Hang knew that things might not always go so smoothly, and he was also prepared for accidents, and even had corresponding remedies in the future.
And he himself is one of the links in this 'remedy'.
Indeed, he has been working government affairs for a long time. But that doesn't affect the fact that he's the most powerful psionic in the entire Alliance's sphere of influence.
The identity of a fifth-level psionic can already allow him to use purely psionic means to exercise deadly control over opponents of the level of orc fleet overseers.
Not to mention, he had already accumulated enough experience to be promoted to a sixth-level psionic.
It's just that before that, he has not been upgraded.
Upgrading from LV5 to LV6 requires a bit too many Grant Points
LV5 only requires 500 bounty, but increasing to LV6 requires 2000 bounty.
This is an expensive price, even if he got the gift of 10,000 or 20,000 points before, he is not in a hurry to upgrade.
Upgrades can be upgraded at any time, as long as there are gift points; On the contrary, the development of the territory, every minute and every second, is a precious golden time.
Thinking that there would be no subsequent battles that would require him to take action personally, he didn't make this choice.
If you save 2,000 gifts, you can draw technology, expand your army, you can conduct multiple political commissar trainings to fill his government departments, and you can expand the team of witchers and serve as the main force in the anti-corruption operation......
His own personal strength is not so urgent.
But now, it seems like the time has come.
On the wind falcon that flew to the north, Gu Hang used the gift points left over from these two months to raise his personal level to LV6.
First of all, the physical and spiritual attributes have each increased a little.
Secondly, among the options, Gu Hang once again chose the spiritual direction as the specialization of this upgrade.
And this gives him a whole new ability: Iron Will.
[Iron Will: You will have an iron will, and from then on you will not feel tired, shaken, or afraid until you reach your limit; Your emotions will become more stable and strong; The effect of the blow to the spirit and soul will be reduced by a certain amount depending on the difference in spiritual attributes between the other party and you. When the caster's Spirituality is more than 4 points lower than yours, all such effects will be nullified; When the caster's spirituality is greater than you by more than four points, the reduction is fixed at 35%. You gain 1 additional Spiritual Attribute. 】
With this newly acquired feature, Gu Hang is generally quite satisfied.
There's nothing wrong with defensive psionic abilities.
He has a protective aura, which can be used to resist entity-type and energy-type attacks. And this is just used to deal with the mental damage. The two are complementary.
Not to mention, the extra great resistance to the negative states of normal fatigue, vacillation, and fear can also bring him a lot of help in non-combat situations.
As for that little bit of added spirituality, that's to be expected.
At this point, his personal properties panel looks like this:
[Hero: Gu Hang (Faction Leader), LV6, Lack of experience and cannot be upgraded]
[Constitution: 11, Spirituality: 22]
[Traits: Psionic Caster, Governor of the Raging Star, Enemy of the Storm]
[Talents: Body protection aura, advanced telekinesis control, mind manipulation, iron will]
The full 22 points of psionic attribute is two points higher than before he was upgraded, which is equivalent to 2.25 times that of level five.
There is no doubt that his strength has once again been greatly enhanced.
After testing it out of thin air, he felt that if he ran into the orc fleet overseer he had encountered in Star Wars before, he might not need the cooperation of others, and he could use his psionic energy to break his will, or use psionic energy to tear his flesh apart from the inside of the heavy armor.
……
With this new strength, Gu Hang arrived at the Polar Industrial City a few hours later.
Once again, the speed of the falcon was on display. The distance of 5,400 kilometers took only two hours to arrive.
In fact, it is more than twice as fast as the Wind Falcon's regular cruising speed, flying at Mach 2.5 the entire time.
In fact, it is very rare, normally the wind falcon will not continue to fly at more than twice the speed of sound for so long. After all, it is not a one-man fighter, but an air warship weighing several hundred tons. An anti-gravity engine running at full speed, running for so long, is terrifying for energy consumption.
However, the alliance is still rich in the small amount of energy used. The waste energy storm collection plant and energy compression plant that have been integrated in the tower province can easily produce super energy crystals. This high-level energy is more than enough for the Wind Falcon, enough to support the consumption of long-distance full-strength flight.
It's the mechanical structure of the falcon itself, which may be a little untenable. After flying like this a few times, I'm afraid I'll have to go back for overhaul.
But the soldiers are fast, and they can't care so much, so go back and repair them.
The elite of the special operations team on duty on the periphery of the warehouse center, which had been captured and cordoned off in the C7 area, were very surprised when they saw the arrival of the governor.
They didn't know that the Governor was coming.
In fact, when Gu Hang set off, of course, he sent a message to the front-line command post.
When Tadius knew he was coming, he vehemently objected. With such an important capacity as the Governor, he should not be on the front line, and if anything goes wrong, it will be unacceptable to the Alliance.
However, it was obviously impossible for him to persuade Gu Hang.
In the second place, he could only pass the news to the more front-line Martings War Leader.
However, the message was not conveyed properly.
Martins has lost contact.
Tadius then tried to get the news to the 31st Airborne Division, telling them to go to Sector C7 as soon as possible to inform the Governor of the impending situation.
However, the flow of news takes time, and the 31st Airborne Division has just received the news, and Gu Hang has already arrived before the messenger they sent arrived.
The special operations elites who were guarding outside were surprised and surprised, but their first reaction was to salute.
Most of the members of the special operations team were screened out in the selection of the immortal bird space marines.
Every one of them had seen the Governor in the place of training. They were even convinced that the miraculous change that had happened to them had a lot to do with the Governor. In fact, a considerable proportion of them had gone to the Extinguishing Wind Loyal Academy, and they were extremely loyal to the Governor.
After Gu Hang returned the salute, he summoned the person in charge of the scene, a major officer from the 10th Special Operations Brigade, to inquire about the current situation.
Gu Hang learned that it had been about two and a half hours since Martins led the team. In addition to the twelve Space Marines, there were also thirty-one battle nuns, twenty demon hunters, and twenty special warfare elites, totaling more than eighty people.
That's pretty much the limit. The entrance is just a 6×6 hole, and after preliminary exploration, it is found that the terrain below is narrow, and there are various underground corridors connecting many rooms, and no matter how many people go down, it is not easy to deploy troops. On the contrary, it is an elite small team, which is more suitable.
It stands to reason that with such a scale, it is enough.
However, they haven't heard back for a long time.
The Major felt that something was wrong, and two hours earlier, another team had been sent down to investigate the situation.
Before the team set off, they were ordered to come up as soon as possible to report the situation as soon as they saw the captain of the Martins War.
However, they are also gone.
This made Mr. Major very anxious.
Then, every once in a while, the major would send another team down.
He'd sprinkled over a hundred people into it, but none of them came out.
“…… This is the current situation, Your Excellency the Governor. ”
The major's forehead was covered with sweat.
He could see that the governor seemed to be going down again. He knew that his identity was not enough, but he still gritted his teeth and persuaded him: "Your Excellency, I will bring a team down to take a look at it myself." As long as I don't die inside, I'm sure to bring the news back! You don't want to go down and risk it yourself, the alliance can't do without you......"
Gu Hang raised his hand and stopped him from continuing.
He closed his eyes tightly, feeling the surging psionic energy below.
A terrible thing is being bred there.
It's not a full gestation, it's more like madness before death.
If left unchecked, the damage is relatively limited – for the planet as a whole.
That should form an incarnation of an evil god, which will exist for about a week or so; It can unleash a mighty storm that sweeps across the North.
The Polar Industrial City will definitely be destroyed by this, and most people will not survive; In addition to the Polar Industrial City, 60 to 70 percent of the more than 2 million people in the entire northern border may die directly or indirectly as a result.
All that adds up, that's about two million people lost.
Switching to a ruler's cold mode, Gu Hang could calculate that this was not a completely unacceptable number.
It would have almost wiped out the value of the North, but after a week, the catastrophe would be over and would not continue to spread.
However, this is the final and worst outcome.
Gu Hang believes that the situation is far from that far.
Even if he did get to that point, he would have to fish out the men below him and withdraw his army.
He was sure of that.
Because, he could feel that below, in the turbulent sea of spiritual energy, nearly two hundred flames of life were still burning.
That's evidence that his fighters are still fighting.
Gu Hang opened his eyes and said to the major, "I'm going down." ”
With that, he drifted forward.
Of course, the major couldn't have stopped him.
And Gu Hang did not leave any explanation.
Not necessarily.
He won't be out of the question, and he himself has a strong self-confidence in it.
……
After entering from the underground entrance, Gu Hang floated through the corridor.
He saw many corpses, but all of them were cultists.
Apparently, when the Space Marines led the way in, the cultists put up a stubborn, but useless, resistance.
The warriors of the alliance are invincible all the way.
And in the process of moving along this road, Gu Hang felt as if he was on the seaside, constantly walking towards the depths of the sea. With every point he advanced, he felt the power of psionic energy grow stronger.
The manic power from the abyss, like a real storm, frantically washed Gu Hang's spirit.
But under the protection of the Iron Will that he had just acquired, these forces did not have any substantial effect on him.
At the same time, he soon saw the members of the first alliance.
It was a few elite special operations men, lying lying on the side of the corridor, breathing rapidly and delirious.
After a brief inspection, Gu Hang judged that their consciousness seemed to have entered a strange area.
It was as if they were fighting, it was intense, their hearts were beating fast, their muscles were still twitching involuntarily, but they didn't wake up.
If he used the ability of [Mind Control], Gu Hang could awaken him from this strange state.
But on second thought, he didn't do it.
He continued to float forward, meeting more Alliance warriors.
Until, he reached one of the empnest underground spaces.
In the center of this space, there were densely packed corpses, forming a circle around an old man dressed very similar to the cult high priest Trikao he had seen in Fuxing City.
The old man also died.
Underneath these corpses was a blue-white, rapidly flickering chaotic eight-pointed star array.
At the same time, Gu Hang also saw the figures of Martins, Gruet, the Witcher, and dozens of special operations elites.
They stood, their eyes closed, their bodies trembling slightly; Their hearts were beating fast and their breathing was rapid, the same as the warriors they had found earlier.
At this point, Gu Hang can still carry out a large-scale mental intervention and wake them all up.
But he still didn't.
He probably already knew what was going on.
He should have been in the same state as them when he entered the area where the psionic sea was most violent. But his strong spirituality, and the blessing of the Iron Will, allowed him to avoid that situation.
However, he had to take the initiative to get into it.
