This assassination against him, the main messenger behind the scenes doesn't have to think about it, it must be Norberto.

But the mastermind behind the scenes is completely unimportant, what Gu Hang cares about is the executor of this assassination: the Assassin Court.

It's true that they're just a knife, but it's important.

Engage in assassination, they are professional.

Gu Hang's killing of these elite assassins is like killing chickens, and the frontal combat ability of these elite assassins is just like that. Let him free his hand, and pinch it to death casually.

But the problem is that the most important thing for the assassins to carry out assassination operations is to create unfair and non-positive actions.

Today, the most important actions of those assassins were all arranged around the blockade of Gu Hang's psionic means. First, with the presence of the Blackstone Bracelet, he carried out long-distance sniping; After the surprise attack, it is also to block the psionic energy and then use the hot melt to attack.

This is a means to deal with a powerful psionic person like Gu Hang; And if it's against some powerful warriors, even the top star marines, they will have other means.

Accurate intelligence, ample targeting, powerful technology, and elite reformed assassins who are not afraid to die...... These are the secrets of the success of the Assassin Court.

Their failure this time was also a failure on the basis of insufficient intelligence. But next time, after having experience, they would definitely not deal with Gu Hang with alpha-level specifications again. There is a chance that they will switch to methods such as poison, blowing up spaceships, etc. Even if they detect the interference and intervention of the subspace at the site of the failure to investigate, it is very likely that they will come up with some black technology, either from aliens or from archaeological findings from prehistoric times, to temporarily block the subspace and carry out the next operation.

In short, the Assassin Court wanted to kill a person, and if it cost him, the success rate was very high.

Gu Hang can do it once, and it is impossible to do it all the time in the future.

However, the Assassin Court was also a clear institution in the Empire after all, and their actions were not for nothing.

The leader of the Assassin Court, known as the 'Grand Mentor', was also a candidate for a seat in the High Council. Although this one did not, throughout history, they have often been among the high lords.

Even, in a certain period of obscure imperial history, there was a period of time when the Grand Mentor of the Assassin Court ruled by terrorist agents through assassination and violence, and completely controlled the entire Supreme Council.

Although that period was short-lived, after all sides rose up to resist, the Assassin Court was overwhelmed by positive forces such as the Space Marines and the Astral Army, thus quickly ending their rule. But this incident still left a far-reaching impact.

Since then, the Assassin Court has not been able to act on its own.

Theoretically, the Assassin Court needed to be authorized to do its work. Depending on the specific circumstances of the target, the level of delegation required varies.

This means that it is not easy to use the Assassin Court as a knife.

Gu Hang could think of three ways for the interest group of Norberto and the Iron Fury Stone to let the Assassin Court come out to work:

Otherwise, it would have been Norberto's own independent authorization, and the Assassin Court would have intervened.

This scenario is the easiest, but the least likely.

Norberto should have some authority, after all, he was one of the High Lords, and now the Assassin Court was relatively weak.

But the target can't be Gu Hang.

Like Gu Hang, an appointment that had to be voted on by the Supreme Council, and now he is a figure who is the focus of the imperial political arena. The decision-makers of the Assassin Court were a little politically sensitive, and they knew they couldn't do it.

This is less likely.

Second, there is a change in the affairs of the Supreme Council. It may be that after the last meeting, the meeting was opened again, or there was a secret resolution, the previous resolution was overturned, and several high lords signed the authorization at the same time, even if Ou Juren and Garardo did not sign, they abandoned Gu Hang by default.

But this possibility was quickly ruled out by Gu Hang.

Previously, he analyzed the interest group of the 'Iron Fury Stone' Ganolberto, which is the general trend of the empire's fundamentals. Whether there is Gu Hang or not, it doesn't matter.

Without an alliance, it's just a matter of changing knives to work.

Gu Hang's existence is conducive to the advancement of the general trend, otherwise he would not have been approved by the Supreme Council when he became a marshal and obviously did not comply with the regulations, and it was passed by a high vote.

In a few days, the fundamentals will be reversed and Gu Hang will be abandoned? This is unrealistic, unreasonable, and not at all in line with the situation in the political arena of the empire.

The third is that Norberto has his own forces or collaborators within the Assassin Court. He skipped the original process and ordered the assassination directly through his collaborators.

This is of course a violation, but ...... Gu Hang didn't believe it, since the other party dared to do it, he would leave a particularly obvious handle that was easy to be caught.

I'm afraid everything that should be cleaned up will be cleaned up.

After carefully thinking through these possibilities, Gu Hang breathed a faint sigh of relief in his heart.

As long as it doesn't take the second worst-case scenario, he shouldn't be chased and killed by the Assassins' Court. If this was the case, Gu Hang would have to consider escaping from Divine Terra at the speed of light, or even fleeing directly into the Storm God Kingdom, and then find a way to return to his lair from subspace, and then prepare to raise the flag to rebel.

But this probability is extremely low.

The first case is also low, and in the third, most likely, the assassination should be a one-off.

The Assassin Court illegally carried out a mission, which not only failed, but also caused a lot of trouble. In this case, Norberto will definitely pay the price, and no matter how hard his relationship is in the Assassin court, it is impossible to work for him again in a short time.

Of course, these are all speculations. Although Gu Hang has a greater grasp, it is related to his own life, and there must be no carelessness.

He will be very cautious for a long time to come.

……

While waiting, the people who should come are coming one after another.

The fastest, the Forbidden Army, came a centurion; Subsequently, the people who were in Jiangxingtai, or who were going to Jiangxingtai, also arrived.

Gallardo, Ou Juren, and Xue Yongsheng, the supreme marshal of the Astral Army, came here.

The faces of the three of them were very heavy, and the five corpses of the assassins lying on the ground were very iconic after the camouflage had failed, and of course they all recognized the situation for the first time.

Garardo strode forward, walked to Gu Hang's side, and looked around: "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, just stand upright, don't worry too much."

"That's good." Gallardo breathed a sigh of relief, "I was angry when I heard the news, but the fact that you're okay is the biggest good news. ”

Speaking of this, he still didn't hold back the anger in his heart, and scolded: "Some people, if they break the rules, they will definitely pay the price!" ”

On the other side, Ou Juren, who had chatted with the centurion of the forbidden army for a few words, also walked over, with the same gloomy face, and said to Gu Hang: "What Galaardo said is right, someone will definitely pay the price." ”

knew who he was talking about, and Gu Hang just smiled.

The attitude of Gallardo and Ogujen probably shows that this matter is not abandoned by themselves, and the second most terrible situation can basically be eliminated.

He kind of relaxed a lot.

Gu Hang looked at the forbidden soldiers next to him again, and there was doubt in his eyes.

"Ahem......" Ou Juren was a little embarrassed, it seemed that the communication with the centurion of the forbidden army was not very smooth just now.

He originally wanted to send the forbidden army away, but apparently, the emperor's forbidden army ignored him.

The high lord is not easy to make!

"Gu Hang, you may have to go with this Centurion of the Forbidden Army. This matter is not small, the forbidden army has to investigate it carefully, and you have to cooperate. However, I promise that there will be no problem, the Psionic Order will issue you this psychic certificate, and the High Council will not sit idly by. ”

"Moreover, it is also a good choice to go to the forbidden army now. In the forbidden army, if someone wants to make any small moves, it is even more impossible to succeed. ”

Gu Hang nodded slightly: "Okay, no problem." ”

He was mentally prepared for this, and after exposing his spiritual power, the forbidden army would definitely not be invisible.

In fact, the fact that the amount of spiritual power exceeds the registered level is not a trouble, not a big deal. Under his normal circumstances, he is just S-level, the level of a legal psyker, and the A-level declared is that he has not updated his information in the psionic order for a while.

It may be a crime to put this on others, but in Gu Hang's body, it doesn't count.

As for breaking free and shattering the black stone bracelet, you need to reach the alpha level, then I don't know about it Gu Generalissimo, maybe I was excited between life and death just now, now you check it casually, I definitely don't have an alpha level, and I definitely can't reach the point where I have to be monitored at all times when I enter the black prison.

However, the last thing Gu Hang wanted to face was the problem of the subspace rift.

Although he only made a small opening, the forbidden army came too fast, and Gu Hang didn't have time to deal with the traces.

It's just that the Forbidden Army is not a psyker. Under the regular display of high-intensity psionic energy, I hope they didn't find the aura left behind in the subspace.

In the conventional concept, subspace = demons.

If it is involved, Gu Hang will have a lot more trouble behind him. It is possible that the trial court will step in.

But for now, it seems to be fine.

Gu Hang appeased Lacroxia and the others, and obediently followed the forbidden army to leave first.

Among the few people left on the field, Xue Yongsheng's eyes flickered.

It's not that he has a weak heart, he really doesn't know about it, and he doesn't have any involvement in the past.

But like everyone else, the mastermind of this assassination could not be more obvious. He had a good relationship with Norberto, but he still didn't expect that the old guy would be able to skip the Supreme Council and launch such a high-quality operation.

These five dead assassins should be regarded as the top players in the entire Assassin Court, and they are quite precious.

Norberto is not small.

But that Gu Hang is even more capable!

Under such an assassination, he was able to survive, and he was able to make none of the five top assassins escape, and all died on the spot.

This is capable, the top psionic.

What's more, Gu Hang didn't die, the assassin's body was placed here, Xue Yongsheng looked at the faces of Ou Juren and Garardo next to him, and knew that there was going to be a bloody storm behind.

He shuddered.

I decided that I would draw a clear line with Norberto in the future.

Although we had a good relationship, we had some tacit understanding on some things - such as voting with Norberto at the Supreme Council this time. However, they are not deeply bound political allies.

Seeing that Norberto had a big problem, Xue Yongsheng decided to stay away so as not to be splashed with blood.

After thinking about it, Xue Yongsheng did not rush to leave, but stepped forward and chatted with Ou Juren and Garardo for a while.

During the conversation, he vaguely expressed some meanings.

First of all, this matter has nothing to do with me, there is a debtor and a debtor, don't find me.

Secondly, I have no opinion on Gu Hang, you see, I came to his award ceremony. If the ceremony will continue later, I will still come, and I will also help settle the dissatisfaction with Marshal Gu Hangsheng within the Astral Army.

Thirdly, I am also very indignant about what Norberto has done, and if there is anything I need help with, I can say two words.

This is undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill.

Ogueren and Garardo responded politely.

After Xue Yongsheng left, Ou Juren said to Gallardo: "I didn't expect there to be an unexpected benefit, Norberto...... Hehe, this time it's a shot in the foot. ”

There was not a smile on Gallardo's face, and he emphasized: "That old thing, you have to pay the price!" ”

"I know you're angry, but, calm down." "Be patient, the rope will be tightened more and more, but not now. ”

Garardo turned his head suddenly: "Gu Hang almost died!" Do you want me to calm down? How calm am I! ”

He seemed to feel that he was a little out of shape, but his emotions could not be calmed down. He added, "He's an important part of our plan, and according to our ideas, he's going to fire the first shot, and he's going to wipe out the Flame Band!" he added. If he dies, with my understanding of the situation in the Dragon Eagle Star Domain, that alliance will inevitably collapse, and all plans will be disrupted! ”

"We have to make Norberto pay enough price, otherwise, next time the target is you and me, are you sure that you and I will be able to block this level of assassination?"

This time, Ou Juren was silent.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, I'll find a way, Clement can't get out of this matter, he has to give an explanation." ”

……

Jefferson Clement, although not one of the High Lords, was still very noble and special as the Grand Mentor of the Assassin Court.

He has what it takes to get a seat. And, even without this seat, the Assassin Court could not be ignored.

But even such a person, he can only sit in front of Gu Hang now and apologize to him.

Of course, it's not groveling, Gu Hang hasn't reached that level yet.

But at least it's sincere.

"Marshal Gu ......"

"Not yet."

Clement laughed, "Soon it will be." I want to admit to you that this operation is a major problem within the Assassin Court. An Assassin Mentor named Nardo Crowe violated the rules of the Assassin Tribunal by giving orders to take action, leading to the incident. ”

"I will not shirk the responsibility of the Assassin Court, and I will compensate you accordingly."

"On behalf of the Assassin Court, I invite you to become a patron of the Assassin Court. From now on, you can donate money to the Assassin Court in a amount of your own choosing. ”

"You will also automatically be granted the authority to issue missions to the Assassin Court, and of course, you will still need to comply with Imperial decrees. The Assassin Court will review whether you have the authority to place a mission on that target, depending on the target's situation. Depending on your rank, Imperial Marshals and Starfield Heads – I know you aren't yet, of course but soon—you can give the Assassins a wide range of targets. ”

"Moreover, the Assassin Court has an iron rule: do not kill investors."

"I don't know my sincerity, are you satisfied?"

Gu Hang did not express his position immediately.

But in fact, he is quite satisfied.

As an 'investor', the amount of money to be invested is actually not much, only millions and tens of millions, and the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual significance.

The Assassin Court was not short of this money.

The attached power is the most important: Gu Hang can give the Assassins a mission after 'investing'.

To put it bluntly, it is to buy murder.

Don't look at Gu Hang's desire to let the Assassin Court go out to work, he still has to be limited by the authority of the assassination target. For example, he is now giving the Assassin court a task, saying that he wants to kill Norberto, which will definitely not work, no matter how much money he has, it is useless, and the authority is not enough; But when he finished taking the rank of marshal and established the position of the head of Longying, he ordered people to kill the former head of state Tan Jiuyi, and that would definitely be enough.

Moreover, the use of the Assassin Court is not only in terms of infighting.

If he encounters a Green Tide of the Iron Tooth War level again, he can send a mission to the Assassin Court to assassinate the Greenskin Leader.

The Assassin Court has this ability, and there are successful cases.

Of course, the Assassin Court will pay a lot of money for this, and Gu Hang will have to pay for it - this is the concept of an investor, give money, and the Assassin Court will help you kill all the people you have the authority to kill.

Don't look at the fact that you have to give money again, and you are restricted by authority, but the Assassin Court doesn't take everyone's work, and how many people want to have this channel have no chance.

That's an added bonus.

Although they can't kill the people Gu Hang wants to kill now, this rare channel may be used in the future.

Gu Hang has personally experienced the 'service' of the Assassin's Court once, and he is quite 'satisfied'.

What's more, the iron rule of 'the assassin court does not kill investors' also makes Gu Hang very concerned.

Although, this does not represent a complete amulet. After all, there is also a subtext: if you are not an investor, you can kill.

It is not said that the investor is irrevocable.

However, the news of the revocation of the investor's qualification will be sent to the person. If there is a higher level of will in the future to let the Assassin Court make a move against Gu Hang, and the Assassin Court cannot refuse, then they will also inform Gu Hang first that your investor qualification is gone.

It's also a disguised advance notice: I can't do it, I have to do it, so I can do it myself, let's compete.

This was already very bad for the Assassin Court.

The best way to complete the task list is, of course, that the mission target does not know that he is going to be assassinated; On the other hand, with precautions, the difficulty of the task will naturally increase significantly.

But even if Gu Hang was actually quite satisfied, he didn't express his position at the first time.

There was one other thing he cared about:

"So, Grand Mentor Clement, where is this Nardo Crowe now?"
