Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1450: Chapter 822: Fallen Angel (2)

Rebels, no mercy.

When the cleansing is acknowledged by the system, that’s when it’s done.

In extreme cases, even if the Oath of Remembrance is cleared out and only a hundred or so Alliance people are left, it’s acceptable.

As long as the system acknowledges it, the exchange quota for two thousand Death Angel genetic seeds can be secured, allowing Gu Hang to quickly replenish the battle group’s strength and even establish a sub-group of Death Angels.

It’s merely a matter of spending a few more Gift Points, and the cost isn’t too high.

By that time, the total number of Interstellar Warriors the Alliance possesses should reach 46,000, no longer the previously displeasing odd number.

And the second matter is that Gu Hang needs to meet the Fallen Angel that the Oath of Remembrance is willing to pay a great price to pursue.

Death Angels have so many secrets, shouldn’t Fallen Angels have even more?

Calculating the remaining power of this incarnation, time is somewhat tight.

Fortunately, the battle on the ship didn’t expend too much of his strength. At most, some energy was used to eliminate the Oath of Remembrance’s Battle Group Leader initially; the subsequent cleanup tasks were mainly completed by the Navy Marine Corps boarding the ship consecutively.

If he hurries, he should have enough time to make a trip to Gamma VII.

…

Gamma VII is a shattered mining world.

Before the catastrophic event, it had approximately eight billion inhabitants; the living conditions on the planet were quite harsh, and the surface was completely uninhabitable.

Historically, the underground of this planet was rich in mineral resources. Human colonizers came here because of the mineral veins, digging extensive and complex mine structures in the underground environment, forming intricate underground cities. More and more miners, along with their descendants, lived in these underground cities, engaged in mining, and smelting work.

Later, as valuable minerals gradually depleted, the entire planet’s value diminished accordingly. On the eve of the catastrophic event, the economic situation here had become quite dire, relying solely on the thinning mineral resources and processing industry to maintain some income and withstand the Imperial Tax. The residents utilized geothermal resources underground to engage in small-scale planting and synthetic starch processing, maintaining the difficult survival of eight billion people.

After the catastrophic event, this world quickly collapsed—interstellar trade was missing, food internal circulation had problems, and water purification systems also failed, leading to massive deaths due to famine and water shortage. Subsequently, in the midst of despair, those who heard the Father’s voice established the Immortal Cult, leading to a brutal internal war on the planet.

The Alliance’s Dark Side Expedition was just approaching this planet when they confirmed that the situation of Gamma VII was quite severe, its value very low. Insisting on dealing with high casualties, going to the underground city where large forces and armored artillery are inconvenient, to slowly clean up the cult that has already gained complete advantage in the war, that is truly a thankless task.

After discussion, the Expedition South Line Headquarters’ advisers provided handling suggestions for this planet: A squadron will establish six evacuation points underground on the planet, with the assistance of a team of Oath of Remembrance warriors, for two months. As much as possible, loyalist residents who can be contacted after identification will be taken away and relocated.

After two months, the Alliance will retreat all military forces on the surface and underground and proceed with a devastating bombardment on the planet.

Using the Skyburn Torpedo is ineffective; it’s possible some strong-natured Nagor believers might survive deep in the underground city.

Regarding higher-level neutron extermination, even that can’t ensure the effect.

As for the strongest Earth Explosion Star, it’s a one-and-done solution; after all, once the planet is blown up, no matter how resilient the Nagor creatures are, they can’t survive.

However, whether it’s neutron extermination or Earth Explosion Star, the cost is much more expensive than conventional Skyburn Torpedoes.

More expensive than this planet.

Not worth it.

But after contacting local figures from Gamma VII, with their help, a new plan was devised.

The dignitaries of Gamma VII had no intention of perishing with the planet; they were rather eager to be taken away by the Alliance, escaping this cesspool. Meanwhile, they provided some key underground city designs to the Alliance, showing which parts to bomb with conventional artillery fire, which could collapse the entire surface underground city in about three days.

By that time, surviving Nagor believers or normal individuals would surely remain, but they’d be sealed underground, unable to escape.

When Gu Hang arrived at Gamma VII, the evacuation plan had been in execution for 47 days.

At this time, the entire Southern Command knew their great Governor had arrived at the front line. However, Gu Hang instructed the Southern Commander De Villiers to continue his work without worrying about him.

Once there, he first brought out the small unit of Oath of Remembrance active in the underground city.

Without Gu Hang’s effort, this group of skilled infiltrators would have been rather hard to find.

After capturing them, integrating the information they previously relayed to the battle group’s senior leaders and extracted by Gu Hang from those leaders’ spirits, along with the information they mastered on the planet, Gu Hang confirmed the location of the so-called Fallen Angel.

Simultaneously, this unit’s behavior made Gu Hang realize with a cold snort that his handling of the Oath of Remembrance wasn’t problematic.

Their original task was to cooperate with the Alliance’s Mortal Army to establish a safe zone underground, shelter civilians, suppress Chaotic Evildoers for two months.

Initially, they did this, but midway through, upon spotting traces of the Fallen Angel, they first slaughtered the Alliance forces that reported the information. They carried out this quite secretly, but an entire elite special camp capable of deep enemy incursion vanished mysteriously; the Alliance Military obviously wouldn’t let it slide.

The frontline command was under a brigadier general who kept dispatching troops to investigate the issue, but the sent units disappeared.

The brigadier general thought a large enemy force was present at the location and sent a reconnaissance request to the Oath of Remembrance’s Interstellar Warriors.

This Oath of Remembrance unit went and falsely reported that although there used to be large enemy gatherings, ultimately, they disappeared.

This claim contradicted reality somewhat, raising suspicion in the brigadier general. But as investigations just began, the investigation team was assassinated by Oath of Remembrance warriors, followed by the brigadier general’s death.

The blood swearers of this battle group prioritized pursuit and concealment of Fallen Angel traces over anything else.

Without a doubt, people possessed by madness.

And this was just involving a relatively insignificant small-scale battle.

If the Oath of Remembrance isn’t dealt with, in critical large-scale battles, if they act recklessly, won’t it be like setting off fireworks for the Alliance?

After dismantling the traitorous squad, Gu Hang followed their previous investigation traces, leading Alvin and Shaga and fifty Interstellar Warriors from the Pure Fire Brotherhood summoned from elsewhere, searching for sixteen days in Gamma VII’s intricate underground world.

During this period, the Alliance Army’s original two-month evacuation period was exceeded.

However, it didn’t matter; Gu Hang requested to extend the evacuation period to three and a half months.

Initially, two months wouldn’t suffice; setting such a time was merely for expedition efficiency, effectively abandoning more than half of the loyal population.

Now, possibly more loyalists could be rescued.

And Gu Hang, on the seventeenth day, found the Fallen Angel’s hiding place.

They were two ’Black Knights.’

Black used as the base color, silver for details, lining the armor’s edges, with crimson sword-wing insignia identical to the Death Angel Battle Group’s insignia.

Is this the Fallen Angel? The armor’s paint color differs from the current Death Angel’s dark green.
