There are also 700,000 astral troops 'shipped' in the Fastces system, with an estimated arrival time of two weeks.

And the 300,000 astral troops who had already arrived disembarked one after another in the Angry Star Harbor.

The starport of the Angry Owl Star is still small in scale, and the overall personnel throughput is not very good.

In addition, from the city of Scarlo on the ground part of the star port, and then take a car to the front line of the Western Desert, the distance in between is thousands of kilometers.

Even if there are paved roads built all the way when the alliance was engaged in large-scale infrastructure construction before, and there are sufficient logistical supplies along the way, the speed is not slow, but in front of 300,000 troops, it will still take a long time to arrive at the deployment position one after another.

Two weeks have passed, and they are just in place.

While waiting for them to take position, it was time for the 7 divisions of the Angry Bear Legion to leave.

According to the order of the Dragon Eagle Command, they have to leave at this time.

The transport ships of the Gu Clan that transported the Dragon Eagle 3 Legion to the Angry Owl Star were still staying in the port of the Angry Owl Galaxy.

In fact, on the way here, they received a new order: to transport 7 divisions of the Raging Bear Legion, totaling 77,000 men, to leave the Raging Owl and go to Koroga 3.

That's just the way to go.

Gu Hang will also go.

The order of the Astral Army Command has nothing related to him, so of course he can not go. However, after a phone call with his mother, he realized that the opportunity he wanted came sooner than he expected.

After leaving Owl, Galardo will stay on Winging Star for a short time to meet with some people, and then he will go to Koroga 3 under the pretext of 'inspecting the spread of the Chaos Plague'.

Of course, he didn't have that good intentions, and in fact, it wasn't his duty as an apostle of war to solve the Chaos Plague and quell the Chaos Rebellion.

He went, but he still made money.

Koroga 3 is suffering, and as it stands, the plague is unstoppable in the last nest of a billion people in Koroga. It's almost a fallen zone, and a large number of planetary defense forces are fighting in it. Rebels, plague walking corpses pop up there.

It is impossible to say that the power of the entire planet cannot be suppressed. Korojaco is a huge planet of 40 billion people.

However, they did not dare to draw too much manpower from other hives to support the place infected by the Chaos Plague.

What if the other nests have problems?

In fact, there have been sporadic reports of other nests with infections. And with the action power of Koroga 3, a report appeared on the bright side, and in the secret, at the bottom of the nest, the infected people probably had to be a hundred times the number of reports.

Even, the government of Koroga 3 planet is already considering an extinction strike against the infected city.

This is only a proposal for the time being, and it is still in the discussion stage, and there are many opponents.

A billion people, can this be said to give up and give up? What a joke!

Even if it is not a person, purely based on profits, this is 5 billion tax coins!

From these angles, it can be seen that the current predicament of Koroga 3 is really not small.

For others, there are those who read jokes, those who are sympathetic, and those who worry that the situation there will corrode and cause greater trouble......

But there are also people who will use disaster as a bargaining chip, not only not to help, but to reap benefits.

Take Garraldo, for example.

This guy came when he smelled fishy.

In the name of 'inspecting the spread of the Chaos Plague', he essentially intends to make the head of the star sector and the governor of Koroga pay a large amount of 'money'.

This money is used to buy 'peace'.

If he doesn't buy it, he will have to let the chaos spread and do things unfavorably, and come to trouble these two.

Chaos corruption is a big deal within the empire. Generally speaking, if the planetary governor can suppress it himself, and if he can't make trouble at the top, then everything will be fine; If it gets to the top and gets noticed, it's possible that the planetary governor will be removed from his post - especially if a high-ranking official comes in.

Gallardo doesn't have the authority to remove a planetary governor, but he can make things bigger.

In particular, after hearing that the Corroga government was willing to take measures to exterminate the nest and sacrifice a billion people, it was even more like a treasure, and he took this as a key handle, standing on the moral high ground, and angrily denounced the Corroga government for not taking the lives of the people of the empire seriously.

Ms. Wang Qi also repeated Gallardo's original words to Gu Hang:

"That's a billion people! I don't know how you can say such a thing! ”

Gu Hang didn't believe that Gallardo really cared so much about human life, but there was no doubt that this had become his most advantageous offensive weapon.

According to this posture, from the head of Pedes to the governor of Coroga, if they don't give a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat and walk around.

And the 'seminar' that Gallardo is going to hold on Koroga 3 is a stage. He sent out a wide invitation, and the well-known characters in the Pegasus Star Zone were invited, and they will be the audience to watch a scene in which Gallardo plays the leading role.

Peters and Governor Coroga were in order, then this was a serious meeting of the superiors to inspect and guide the work; If they do not comply, it will become a trial of the apostles of war criticizing local officials for dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty.

Of course, the Gu family also received an invitation letter, and sincerely invited Gu Hang and Wang Qi, the mother and son, to participate together.

Combined with the previous events, Gu Hang would understand it as that Gallardo was demonstrating to them.

"The head and the governor of the largest planet, I can handle it casually, and I haven't been ruthless against you Gu Clan, don't be ignorant."

Originally, Wang Qi persuaded her son not to come, just leave it to her to deal with.

But Gu Hang decided to go.

Don't rely on me to die.

……

Before leaving, there are also things to explain on the Raging Owl Star.

In terms of government affairs, he chatted with Osena for a while; In terms of law and order and stability maintenance, Lambert must take the police station; On the military side, Yan Fangxu and Tadius will be in charge.

After mentioning the face of the ears separately, Gu Hang left.

He estimated that he would have to work hard for a month.

He still has more trust in the alliance government system that he has single-handedly established. After leaving him, a few of them maintained a few months without problems.

The only thing that I can't worry about is the war on the Western Front.

Although there will be a large force of Astral Army to support it, it may not all be good.

He already knew that the commander of the Astral Army who came here was an Imperial Major General.

The military rank is high, plus it is still the Astral Army, which has a natural identity advantage over the planetary defense forces.

If the major general does things well, there will be no problem, but what I am afraid of is that he will make trouble.

However, in this matter, Gu Hang is also prepared.

It's just that he hopes his preparation won't be used.

After all, the other party was here to help, and it was not Gu Hang's original intention to create any contradictions. It is best to smoothly rely on superior forces to bulldoze the Blackbird Heavy Industry in the west of the continent.

For this reason, he also contacted Yelicia once.

It stands to reason that after Raging Owl has completed the first installment of the Imperial Tax, it is time for Elicia and her ship to leave.

She was originally ordered to stay in orbit around the Raging Star for two years.

The two-year period was over, and it was time for her to leave.

But under Gu Hang's request, plus the new order from the Pegasus Fleet Command has not yet come down, Yelicia thought about it and finally agreed to Gu Hang's request.

……

Nine days later, Koroga No. 3, named Yancheng.

This is the largest nest capital on Koroga, with three billion people living in it.

It's a huge, honeycomb-like structure. The lower half almost hollows out the earth; The upper part is a huge multi-layered structure that juts into the sky.

Before seeing it with his own eyes, Gu Hang had always had a hard time believing how a city could live with three billion people.

He knows now.

It's really like a bee, like an ant.

People are crowded in it, and most of the nest residents may have never seen sunlight in their lives. They live in beehives, toiling in exchange for a little subsistence of corpse starch and water;

Some of them don't even have jobs, and the local demand, the local productivity, doesn't provide that many jobs. Such people, who are better, blend into gangs, report to groups for warmth, rely on dirty work and black work, or squeeze other people to live; Others, on the other hand, have become unemployed, relying on a little government handout, doing odd jobs, barely starving to death, trying to live, and looking forward to one day being selected to become the imperial tax and be paid.

And that's what the Koroga government meant by providing relief.

A population of 5 tax coins too.

If you raise it to a pure, starving standard, 5 tax coins can support a person for 50 years - of course, if you spend 0.1 tax coins a year, then human beings will not live that long in most cases. Chronic malnutrition, disease, poor social environment, accidents...... will easily kill a person.

But what does it matter? Just keep the poorest people from starving for a while, and then take them to pay their taxes.

One of the largest industries in Koroga is population.

They can really raise people like pigs - even better than pigs.

After all, meat and pigs can't do their work, and people, after a few years of birth, can be thrown into factories to work as child laborers, let alone adults.

Famous Salt City is such a place.

But the city is not without its beauty.

At the top of the city, the upper class is drunk. The huge glass filter layer makes the sunlight revealed by the broken atmosphere not only not fatal, but warm and comfortable; A blazing storm sweeps through the sand and dust, and it will also be filtered and turned into a relaxing breeze; The lit aroma, with its aroma, rolls over the entire upper area.

In addition to the severe scarcity of water, which makes it difficult to plant too many green plants, it is like a garden.

And a grand banquet was held here.

Gu Hang stood in the 'open-air' council hall, staring at the huge and gentle star in the sky, and had been looking at it for a long time.

And beside him, his mother, was talking to Pedes.

Pei Desi in Gu Hang's impression is always well-dressed, meticulous, decent, reserved and calm, with a certain graceful and extravagant.

But today, although he is still well-dressed, it is difficult to hide the redness in his eyes, and it is even more difficult to hide the hoarseness in his voice.

Peders asked, "Do you really want to sell the ship?" ”

"yes." Wang Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Otherwise, how can you feed the ridiculously large appetite of Your Excellency the War Apostle?" ”

"We shouldn't let him do whatever he wants, he slaughters all of us like fat sheep!"

"yes, I think so too, why don't you take the lead with the head of Pedes?"

“…… Alas. Peders sighed deeply.

The two chatted a few more words, and the head of the star sector took his leave and went to talk to the others.

Only then did Gu Hang come back to his senses and said, "It seems that the news that we released to sell ships and make money to serve the soft should be credible enough, at least Pei Desi believes it." ”

Wang Qi took a sip of the wine in his hand and patted the son next to him: "We really wanted to sell the boat and make money." You can't work against Gallardo, there is no good, only bad. ”

Gu Hang didn't explain much.

He didn't tell his mother about his plans.

Actually, he didn't tell anyone.

This matter must be kept completely confidential. It's just that you can't trust others, it's just that there are too many ways to know certain information in this universe.

He just told Wang Qi that he didn't plan to give in as Gallardo wanted, at most he just released some news of resignation, to ease some of the pressure, and it was best to drag it to other places where Gallardo had already satisfied his appetite in the Pegasus Star Zone and left. After all, this guy doesn't have time to toss around in a star sector for too long.

But apparently Wang Qi has a different idea.

She sighed and said, "It's true that Gallardo will leave soon, but he's just gone, not dead. If he wants to maintain deterrence, he will not spare anyone who disobeys him. As long as his power remains, even if he leaves, he has countless ways to target us. Even the head of Peders has to be soft, what can we do? 300 million ...... Give and give. ”

Speaking of the latter sentence, she seemed to grit her teeth a little, obviously her heart was dripping blood.

Gu Hang nodded absentmindedly, and his eyes suddenly froze, locking on the man who came out of the backstage with a bright smile.

Not only Gu Hang, but everyone's eyes were attracted because of his appearance.

Is this his charm?

This is the charm of power.

He stood in the center of the stage, picked up the microphone, coughed lightly, and the smile gradually dissipated, turning to calm and serious.

When the room was quiet, he said, "We are facing a catastrophe. ”

"This catastrophe is not just happening in Koroga and in the Angry Owl, but everywhere in the Empire."

"Glorious and great human beings, who have struggled to survive in the entire universe for countless years."

"Our species, with the blood of countless heroes and the absolute fearless great sacrifice, under the leadership of the God Emperor, established our empire and won a place for us to survive in this dark and terrifying universe."

"But the danger is never far away. Abyss Demon, Chaos Renegade, Alien, Iron Man...... Always threatening our very existence. ”

"The Great Sun Lord, the Great Expedition of the Greatest since the Emperor established his empire. The stars and the sea are all surrendered under the light of the Sun Lord. ”

"This is a great era, the territory of the empire is expanding every day, and countless worlds that have sunk into darkness have returned to the embrace of the empire, bathed in the glory of the god emperor."

"I deeply feel the dedication of every subject of the Empire. It's hard, but it's also glorious. ”

"The head of Peders and Governor Akuna have set an outstanding example!"

"I believe that under their leadership, Koroga will definitely defeat those Chaos traitors and let the bright sun shine again in every corner of this world!"

……

Hearing this, Gu Hang knew that the head of Pedes and the governor of Corroga, Ramillo Akuna, were indeed convinced. Of the two manuscripts he had prepared, Gallardo chose the one he praised.

But these, for Gu Hang, don't matter.

He looked up again and looked at the sun.

An inconspicuous black shadow suddenly appeared.

A slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

It's finally here.

It was a dragon.
