Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 46: Chapter 46, T3 Troops

“`

Before heading out on the mission, dubbed a rescue but in reality a fishing expedition, Gu Hang had emptied his savings.

Originally, the grace he received from the battle at Mantan River Valley Manor was spent on extracting technology and during the training of the 3rd Regiment. However, a few days ago, when Yan Fangxu led a team to burn the alien breeding nests in the wilderness, Gu Hang would receive 1-2 points of grace for every nest they destroyed, depending on the scale of the breeding nest.

After seven breeding nests were burnt down, Gu Hang had gained 11 points of grace.

And he invested this grace into 11 soldiers of the Land Assault Team.

The Elite Assault Team soldiers, descending from the starship, were starkly different from regular soldiers. They wore dark brown, one-piece combat suits with masks, skillfully equipped, with no inch of skin exposed during combat. The seemingly lightweight combat suits, once fitted with ceramic steel plates, were even more useful than armored vests.

These were the elites of the Imperial Naval Marine Corps, considered special forces. The training level of these forces was already ranked at T4 by the system. To elevate their training to T3 level would cost 1 point of grace per soldier.

1 point of grace was enough to train a hundred ordinary people into a whole company of warriors, equivalent to the level of the Imperial Regular Army.

But when it came to training T3 level soldiers, it was only enough for one individual’s advancement.

To further train them to T2 level would require 10 points of grace per person, which was enough for Gu Hang himself to level up on the ‘Hero’ panel.

Nevertheless, despite the high cost, the value was extraordinary.

At that time, he took the 11 Marine soldiers aside and conducted some secretive, special training maneuvers.

The maneuvers were made up by him, but when declared, he claimed they were blessings from The Emperor, derived from a special training method he possessed.

Ordinary people would find it hard to believe in such things, but not when it came to Governor Gu Hang.

These Marine soldiers had seen with their own eyes how those country bumpkins transformed into competent soldiers in an incredibly short period of time.

How could they not believe?

The Land Assault Team soldiers were ecstatic!

All 11 individuals, meticulous and devout, completed the motions as instructed by the governor.

Then, in an incredibly short period of time, they truly felt revolutionizing changes within their bodies.

They became stronger, even to a somewhat superhuman extent.

They could run faster, had greater strength, more resilient to impacts, and even small-caliber bullets might not penetrate their foreheads; their strength had nearly tripled, and rocks they couldn’t lift before now seemed somewhat light.

Their neural responses also became quicker, with birds in flight appearing to them as slow-moving paper planes; their military skills improved massively in a short period of time, with each transitioning from a tolerable marksman into a sharpshooter; they also felt they had mastered highly efficient close-combat techniques, paired with their combat knives, they were capable of taking down five or six past selves in close combat…

Profoundly feeling the changes within themselves, they felt as if they were in a dream.

Why was this happening? It was too unscientific!

But it was indeed reality.

They could only attribute it to The Emperor’s grace, the governor’s magic.

And they were one of the trump cards Gu Hang had prepared for this operation.

At this moment, these soldiers, enhanced to T3 level, were also making good on the role Gu Hang had expected of them.

11 ‘Eagle’ Electromagnetic Rifles were firing at the falling Evil God Priest. They didn’t need verbal communication, with every three soldiers taking on one target. The metal spikes followed like lock-on tracking, rarely missing their mark even though they themselves were running, and their target was still in freefall.

Meanwhile, Gu Hang was up to no good.

The opponent was strong, so Gu Hang wouldn’t frivolously expend his limited spiritual energy. Just like he cut off three Evil God Priests’ control over the Storm Eagle moments ago, he could do something with minimal effort at some critical junctures.

And this time, the mischief he was causing was disrupting and severing the three priests’ control over the Storm Shield.

Although the Navy Marine Corps soldiers had been enhanced to T3 level, it was the soldiers who had been upgraded, not their rifles. The ‘Eagle’ Electromagnetic Rifles in their hands remained unchanged. The metallic spikes hit those three individuals, all blocked by the Storm Shield.

To break through the Storm Shield with just the force of bullets was difficult; one would need to stand still and be shot for quite a while. But it still had some effect, reducing the intensity of the Storm Shield and forcing the Evil God Priests to mobilize spiritual energy to maintain the shield’s intensity.

This gave Gu Hang an opportunity.

All he needed was a light touch, not even needing to put in much effort to completely dismantle the Storm Shield, just destabilizing it was enough.

A Storm Shield that suddenly weakened and even showed gaps and flaws was quite fatal to the falling Divine Envoys.

The least skilled among them suffered particularly dreadful. In mid-air, at least five or six metal spikes penetrated his body.

With the overwhelming power of the electromagnetic rifle, the human body couldn’t withstand it.

That guy was destroyed mid-air and by the time he hit the ground, there was no discernible human shape left, just shattered remains.

But the other two were in better shape.

In Gu Hang’s view, he could see that the strongest of the pair was barely affected. After his Storm Shield encountered problems, he quickly compensated, preventing himself from being hit. The other reacted similarly, but there was a clear gap between his level and the strongest one; he ended up getting hit twice, breaking an arm and a leg.

The two Divine Envoys who were still alive after hitting the ground each had their actions.

The strongest one, almost unharmed, suddenly sprouted a pair of white storm wings from his back. The wings resembled turbines, and as he suddenly jetted backward, he reached extreme speeds in the blink of an eye.

He ignored the Land Assault Team soldiers rushing over and instead directly targeted Gu Hang, who was in the back.

The Howling Wind Divine Envoy hadn’t forgotten his mission, his most important target on this trip was to kill the planetary governor.

He had planned to use the storm, use the white fog, to disorient the soldiers’ position, letting those pustule beasts charge in, and eliminate all of the soldiers, leaving only the governor hiding in the armored vehicle to be dealt with later.

But to his surprise, the governor had left the protection of the armored vehicle on his own.

However, that Governor Gu Hang surprisingly possessed psychic powers and was even using very advanced techniques, which greatly shocked him.

This caused a significant flaw in his plan; the governor’s actions not only halted their destruction of the human soldiers’ position but even put him and his two subordinates into dangerous territory.

But he still had a chance.

As long as he could kill the governor on the spot.
