Chapter 243, Knights

Wang Qi is not the kind of woman who is scared when she sees blood.

Although she is a businessman, blood is indeed not uncommon.

After being pushed through the door on the side by Lacroxia, into a dwelling, and dodging the first round of bullets, she immediately stood up, looked for a window from the side, observed the battle outside, and was ready to support at any time.

She's not helpless, either.

Wang Qi once took time out to experience two months of professional military training. That wouldn't make her a proper fighter, of course, but at least it would make her know how to shoot.

On top of that, she has a skill that's much more powerful than the average warrior: money.

Her two earrings, along with the tail rings worn by each of her hands and little finger, form a miniature shield generator. After launching at full power, it can provide protection for three hours and withstand direct shelling from 3 rounds of 155 howitzers.

The shield generator was already a very expensive thing, but the set in Ms. Wang Qi's hand was many, many times more expensive than the ordinary shield generator.

Normally, a shield generator device may be the size of a car; But this set has achieved the ultimate in miniaturization. It can be built from ultra-small things such as earrings and rings, and it is not out of place to wear them when you wear a tuxedo to a banquet.

Obviously, there's no way this thing can be mass-produced. In fact, it is a masterpiece created by a master caster, using a very high-end device, over a long period of time. In addition, there are special jewelry masters who have made exquisite designs for it to ensure that it is still beautiful, elegant and high-end without compromising its functionality.

Moreover, this miniaturized shield generator also has a very significant special effect: it will be automatically triggered when it detects a threat coming, that is, it can prevent the owner from being unresponsive when it is raided, and it will be finished before the shield generator can be used.

From these perspectives, you can imagine how high the value of this set of earrings and rings will be.

In addition, she pulled out a weapon tied to the inside of the skirt at the thigh of the evening dress.

It is a flintlock pistol with a slight fragrance of ebony wood and openwork inscriptions, filled with gold, revealing a high level of craftsmanship.

It's really more of a vintage artifact than a weapon.

But in reality, this ancient flintlock pistol can be loaded with four rounds at a time. Regardless of the material of the bullets they are loaded, the first four bullets fired each day have a powerful psionic power, and when they come into contact with the target, they will produce a violent psionic explosion. The power of a single Psionic Explosive Bullet is even greater than that of a Heavy Explosive Shotgun.

However, she was not arrogant enough that with these things, she could really survive this crisis.

In fact, with this set of things on her body, it can be seen that the core goal is to defend against assassination.

Ms. Wang Qi has never put herself in absolute danger. When the first wave of the assassin's attack was blocked by the shield generator, the psionic flintlock pistol gave her a certain means of counterattack, and with a slight delay, the elite bodyguards who should be close to her at all times would quickly be in place to eliminate the threat.

Normally, this should be the case.

But at the moment, this is clearly not the normal situation. What she has to face is not an assassination, but a real war.

How about a shield generator? The 155 howitzer that can block three shots is a wall of sighs in the face of assassination, but in the middle of the war, it doesn't take long for a few machine guns and rifles to burst open. Not to mention, the shield generator, like the Void Shield, is very insensitive to things that approach slowly, and bullets can't break it, but if a person approaches with a knife, the shield generator is useless.

In war, there are so many things that are much more dangerous than assassination.

And why did the situation on Black Arrow turn into a war?

That starts a few days ago.

Wang Qi and her fleet, after leaving the Angry Star, went all the way here. Black Arrow Star is a planet that is still in the feudal era, with a population of 400 million and dozens of feudal kingdoms large and small. Of these, the seven most powerful formed the King's Council, and every few years, one of them was elected to become the Governor, responsible for communicating with the Imperial Ministry.

From this point of view, the power of the Governor of the Black Arrow Star, that is quite small. Just do a docking job, whether the tax can be collected or not depends on whether the various kingdoms cooperate - of course, they usually cooperate. Those who do not cooperate will be beaten, and even the great kingdom will not want to bear the wrath of the empire, and will be criticized because of the alliance of other countries.

There will definitely be a lot of intrigue around this mechanism. For example, the governor pits other kingdoms, or other kingdoms pit the kingdom that is currently the satrap......

But Wang Qi doesn't pay attention to these things. There are countless worlds within the empire, with different levels of technology, economic bases, and political ecology, who has the time to infiltrate so much?

Wang Qi is only concerned about most of the kingdoms of the Black Arrow Star, and they all have a very good relationship with the Gu Family Firm, and this relationship is even so good that the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce's family meetings in recent decades have been held in the Black Arrow Star. The seven local kingdoms all welcomed their arrival and fully supported the series of activities of the Gu family assembly.

This time, too—at least not at first.

Currently, the person who serves as the governor of Black Arrow is the king of the Kingdom of Luman, Nes Luman. This is the third largest country on the planet, and the venue for the meeting is also chosen in the capital of this country, the city of Pinser.

The whole city of Pincer was lit up and the event was held as a grand festival.

In the past few days, after the leaders of the fourteen caravans from the Gu Chamber of Commerce arrived one by one, one after another public or private banquets began.

Wang Qi has been preparing for many, many years in order to compete for the position of head of the family, and now it is just a kick in the door. Although she could feel the struggle of her deceased cousin, the guy jumped up and down to do a lot of things, and even tried to disrupt the rhythm by holding a family meeting in advance.

But none of this makes much sense.

Before the official start of the family meeting, through banquets and private conversations, Wang Qi further consolidated and confirmed the relationship between the allies.

Of the fourteen caravans, she still holds four firmly in control, and the other four are her staunch allies. When the assembly begins and the voting begins, she will almost certainly be able to push her son to the position of head of the family with eight votes in her hand.

Then, two days before the start of the conference, near the end of a dinner party, the earth-shattering sound of gunfire and shouts of killing reached their ears.

Wang Qi realized almost immediately that Gu Minggou jumped off the wall in a hurry.

After being reminded by her son, she has become aware of this problem. Around her, the original standard security force has been strengthened three times; Everyone was on high alert; She reminded all caravan lords to be careful about this issue, and asked them to double their security forces while maintaining the highest level of security.

In addition, the caravan ships in the sky are also preparing for battle at all times to avoid sneak attacks and surprise attacks; The expeditionary legion that Gu Hang assigned to her also moved to a small town on the outskirts of Pinsel through the process of exchanging caravan materials.

Wang Qi hid their traces as much as possible, but she also knew that with a force of almost 30,000 people, it was difficult to be unaware.

But exposure also has the benefit of exposure, forming a deterrent, and it's good: I have an army outside, you have to be careful.

But exposure also has the benefit of exposure, forming a deterrent, and it's good: I have an army outside, you have to be careful.

As long as it can't be fought, it's good. After all, as long as it works properly, she is likely to be the winner.

But Gu Ming still jumped out.

In fact, Wang Qi still can't understand.

Indeed, if you don't jump out, you can't win. But what if you lose?

Although there has been internal competition in the Gu family since its establishment, up to now, nearly three hundred years, five generations have been inherited, and there has been no vicious bloody competition. This kind of thing may be a lot in other families, but the internal struggle of the Gu family has never deteriorated to this extent. is more united than other chambers of commerce, which in itself is one of the reasons why Gu's can become bigger.

If Gu Ming loses, the two parties have no other deep hatred, they are still relatives, Wang Qi won the victory as the winner, there is no need and it is impossible to kill him cleanly.

The two met, and if they didn't do it, they had to play the whole uncle and sister-in-law to show the unity of the family.

This kind of Gu Ming, let alone being an idle rich man, and even Wang Qi wants to deprive him of the Chamber of Commerce fleet that he controls.

Gu Ming retains his own power, retreats to become a mountain in the Gu Chamber of Commerce, and continues to fight for the position of the head of the family in the next cycle.

But if you do this, it will be a bad start and a complete violation of the rules. When the matter is over, there is no possibility of goodness.

Gu Ming won't understand.

Therefore, even at the last moment, Wang Qi actually felt that Gu Ming might make trouble, but the probability was not great.

But now, everything has happened, and there is nothing more to say.

Just take precautions and use them.

The news of the outbreak of the battle was sent to the Raging Owl army in the suburban town; In the city, the security measures of each family are urgently deployed and mobilized; Hurry up and contact King Luman, who is currently the Governor of Black Arrow, and put him in control of his capital......

At this stage, Wang Qi's mentality is still very stable. She and her allies, when she was sitting in the banquet hall, she even had time to perform a lamentation twice, saying that Gu Ming couldn't do this, it must be someone around him who was bewitching, sighing Gu Ming's head was dizzy, and even discussing how to deal with this problem afterwards.

The situation outside has indeed begun to improve. The security measures are in place, and the perimeter is tightly controlled; Hearing the report from the front, the army of the Luman Kingdom also drove into the city, controlling the situation in the whole city, and the sound of guns and shouts of killing also subsided.

Later, they were all discussing how to catch Gu Ming and don't let him run away after the situation calmed down.

But at this moment, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse in a very short period of time.

The key to this is that the army of the Luman Kingdom, which was supposed to enter the city to quell the chaos, lined up and came to the place where Wang Qi and the others were, hoping to enter this area and take over the defense.

They said very well that the situation in the city was unstable, and it was necessary to add stronger troops to protect it.

But by this time, Lacroxia, who had joined Wang Qi's security team with a special squad, raised strong objections.

Wang Qi also kept an eye on them and didn't let them approach.

Then, the Luman army, which had arrived in strict formation, launched an all-out attack on them.

The productive forces of the Luhmann kingdom remained feudal, industrialization was poor, and the main economic base depended on agriculture. But their army, weapons and equipment are not too bad.

They can't produce it, or their production capacity is very weak, and it is not enough to independently support the weapons needs of an army, but it does not prevent them from buying it.

The G5 and G6 series of individual weapons, artillery, all these things.

Of course, even so, there is still a big gap between their equipment level and the security team of these rich guys of the Gu family.

But it's just the cannon, which is bombarded from afar, which is unreasonable.

But if it's just an artillery threat, that's fine. It is an option to form elite troops, rush outward, and destroy artillery units. Gu's security, almost all of them are alloy plastic steel armor, plus laser guns, electromagnetic rifles, and equipped with hot melt bombs, plasma guns, etc., the entire team of 100 people burst out, and it is really difficult to stop.

However, the most unexpected thing is that the real big killer of the Luman Kingdom has been dispatched.

Knight.

Feudal state, of course, is a feudal system. The king divided the lords, and the lords divided the knights, constituting the ruling class: the nobility. And for those nobles, one of the core conditions for being divided is to have their own 'mounts': mechas.

On the Black Arrow Star, there will be a very speechless scene: the serfs are using medieval planting techniques, intensively cultivating, diligently farming, and handing over ninety percent of the harvest to their lords, leaving only the most basic food for their stomachs; The knight drove his mecha and patrolled his fields to make sure the serfs were not lazy.

And when necessary, the knights would obey the call of the lord and take the militia of serfs into a battle under the lord's banner; The lords would heed the king's call and led their armies to fight under the king's banner.

This is the system of the Luman Kingdom, and it is also the system of the entire Black Arrow Star.

Those poor and little knights may have passed down a set of the most ordinary sentry mechs from their families for eight lifetimes. This thing, in the imperial military sequence, is not even recognized as a serious knight mecha. Anyway, it was a mech, almost three and a half meters tall, covered in metal, with two bursts of machine guns fixed at its sides, and it was not afraid of bullets.

At least two hundred of these sentinel mechs appeared in the army of King Luhmann;

At the same time, there are two real Knight Mechs, or what can be called Knight Titans.

[Ranger Knight Titan], with a height of six meters two, has a four-barreled repeating heavy machine gun in his left hand, a gravity fist and howitzer launcher in his right hand, and sixteen extended-range rockets behind his back......

This thing is a little scary.

The 'Knights' of the Luman Kingdom are the biggest threat. And it was this knight regiment that almost destroyed the defensive position of the Gu family's security.
