Chapter 709, The Assassin Court Sends You Greetings

Gu Hang was actually a little disappointed with the holy relic technology.

It can certainly be considered as an apocalypse-level technology, and its effect is very clear.

However, it is different from the apocalypse-level technology that Gu Hang wanted.

Its use is too narrow.

The enhancement of cutting-edge combat power plays a key role in the final decision of certain battles. But after all, it is not the kind of thing that Gu Hang wants to subvert the alliance. He needs something more powerful.

The shipment rate of the apocalypse-level has dropped by 10 points. There are still six draws left. Can I get it?

Another 4 draws, and another apocalypse-level technology has been produced.

When he saw its name, even Gu Hang, who has long been very calm, couldn't help showing an ecstatic expression!

[Apocalypse-level technology: Queen of Glory battleship]

Queen of Glory, no more explanation is needed.

Gu Hang had only seen it show its power once: in the battle to destroy the Zerg support fleet, a ‘Phoenix Crown Feather’ that had experienced a long warp voyage and was in a much worse state than its peak moment, jumped out of the warp and appeared directly in the core of the array of a huge Zerg fleet.

The destructive power it showed in an instant played a decisive role in the battle. In addition to instantly destroying several key enemy warships, it also survived a long period of concentrated fire.

With one ship, it is the stabilizing force of the navy!

The number of Queens of Glory in the entire empire is a constant. Only the major founding war groups have the Queens of Glory left by the emperor to each legion when the empire was established. Later, when the legions switched to the war group, the founding groups naturally took the Queen of Glory in their hands.

Now, even the Imperial Navy does not have the Queen of Glory!

Even after getting this technology, Gu Hang found that the production line of the finished black box plus some low-tech parts pulled out through the mother machine black box, combined with the current production capacity of the alliance... In short, if all available means and matching resources are used, and the entire alliance goes all out, it will take about fifteen to twenty years to build a Queen of Glory.

It's a relatively long time, but so what?

If the Empire can produce a Queen of Glory in twenty years, the Supreme Commander of the Navy or the Prime Minister of the Empire will probably laugh to death!

Of course, even if this killer weapon is built, it cannot be used easily.

Everything else is easy to say, this kind of top-level ship from the establishment of the Empire, which is said to be designed by the Emperor himself, which is now impossible to build even the Empire and the Mars Headquarters of the Mechanicus, appears in the hands of the Alliance, it is inexplicable.

Therefore, whether it is during construction or after it is built, the Queen of Glory project must be kept strictly confidential.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, with the naval strength of the alliance, there is really no need for the Queen of Glory to be dispatched.

Once the Queen of Glory is needed, it is almost a matter of life and death, so there is no need to worry about confidentiality.

But what Gu Hang hopes most is another possibility: there is no need to keep it secret.

When Gu Hang has a Queen of Glory, he will keep it secret;

When he has three, he can be bold;

When he has ten, he can sail to Holy Terra openly.

That may take two hundred years.

But it doesn't matter, Gu Hang can wait.

Even ordinary mortal dignitaries can live to 200 to 500 years old after receiving life extension surgery, let alone Gu Hang.

He even suspected that he had reached the level of immortality.

Maybe he will be killed, but he should not die of old age.

He has enough patience to wait for the flowers that take a long time to bloom.

...

There are still two million-level lottery draws left, which have not been shipped.

It's not too regrettable. After all, after the Queen of Glory was drawn, the probability of getting an Apocalypse-level in the 10 million file has also dropped to 10%.

If you want to get another one, you must be really lucky and hit it with one shot; otherwise, you just need to honestly save up another ten-shot combo, which is 100 million points of grace, which is more stable.

However, how easy is it to save up 100 million graces?

Gu Hang relied on the Alliance Navy and Army and the Space Marines to make great sacrifices and win battles in a few years to get so many.

And now, it seems that peace is about to come - at least it is a general peace. Without a war on the scale of the star field to fight, it is still very difficult to get so many grace points.

Of course, it is not a bad thing.

If he can really be given a long time to develop slowly, his monthly fixed income can rise steadily.

Every ten or twenty years, a Queen of Glory, plus multiple battleships, aircraft carriers, and battlecruisers, will join the Alliance Navy.

In short, it will become stronger and stronger.

Gu Hang, who had taken out the Queen of Glory warship, was in a very good mood, and his outlook on the future also became optimistic.

Gu Hang was busy for a while, and handed over the production tasks of the holy relic and the Queen of Glory warship, including the black box, to the rear.

It should be done.

He planned to make two holy relic weapons first, one for himself, in the shape of a scepter; the other for Martins.

As for the construction of the Queen of Glory, it would not be done in a short time.

The confidentiality level was raised, and then it was done slowly.

Of course, the estimated cost of this thing was about one trillion.

But it is not all at once. The black box can save a considerable part of the cost. Other unavoidable costs are also paid slowly in the construction period of fifteen years or more.

This is naturally a big project, and there will be a lot of noise. But in fact, there is no need to worry too much.

Keeping confidentiality is one aspect. Even if some information is leaked, no one can imagine that the Alliance is building the Queen of Glory.

From the outside world's point of view, that is impossible.

After finishing all these, Gu Hang finally had time to return to the Governor's Suite on the starship.

He has been tired for a long time, and it is time to take a rest when he is in a good mood.

But as soon as he entered the door, his brows frowned.

Someone, and a stranger, has been here.

He swaggered, did not erase the traces of his visit, and left something behind.

It was a letter placed at the head of his bed.

In an instant, Gu Hang spread his psychic perception.

Under his perception, there were no enemies or dangers around.

There was nothing on the letter, just an ordinary letter, without any traps.

At least Gu Hang didn't notice it.

The contents inside were all visible under the perspective of psychic energy. He didn't need to open it to see the contents inside:

"Grand Master Jefferson Clement, greetings to Commander-in-Chief Gu."

Gu Hang certainly remembered this name.

Clement is currently one of the thirteen high lords of the empire.

And the reason why he can be in a high position is naturally because he has a unique base that no one can ignore: the Assassin Court.

He is the Grand Master of the Assassin Court.

Quietly, an assassin from the Assassin Court entered the Emperor-class battleship "Golden Pass" that has always been used as an office and palace by Gu Hang, and then bypassed countless defenses, left a letter at his bedside, and then left without alarming anyone?

Even his whereabouts were so strange that Gu Hang could hardly track them clearly with psychic energy!

What does it mean?

It means a warning.

What if it was not a harmless letter, but a well-prepared ambush and assassination?

With the ability he showed, even if Gu Hang had powerful psychic powers, he would be in some danger if he was caught off guard.

Not to mention life and death, maybe he would be injured?

If they could quietly release the letter, what about poisoning?

The Assassin's Court really didn't have a poison that specializes in powerful psychics and can even poison the Great Demon?

Let's take a step back and say that even if Gu Hang couldn't be harmed, what about others in the Alliance? Those Space Marines, the high-ranking marshals in the Alliance Army, the high-ranking prime ministers of the government... can they hide?

This is the horror of the Assassin's Court.

They can't fight a war, and they won't go to war. But they can almost do it to the extent that whoever they want to die will die.

Repeated physical annihilation, even if it can't destroy a regime, is enough to bring huge disturbances.

In the history of the empire, there was a Grand Master of the Assassin's Court who briefly controlled the power of the empire through assassination and spy politics.

Of course, it was finally rectified. At the same time, the power of the Assassin's Court was also caged.

But no matter what, they hold this power, and the Grand Master will naturally be respected and have a place among the high lords.

When Gu Hang went to Holy Terra for the first and only time, Norberto, the then Prime Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, was expelled from the Supreme Council. After being tried, Clement replaced Norberto and entered the Supreme Council.

That time, in the palace, Gu Hang even suffered an assassination by the Assassin's Court. Later, it was proved that it had nothing to do with Clement. It was an action carried out by someone who privately called an assassin.

Then, the Grand Master of the Assassin's Court who entered the Supreme Council also gave Gu Hang the status of "sponsor". He could pay money or some other price to assassinate the target without violating the imperial decree.

Legal murder.

Of course, that is subject to the authority of the assassination target, and the Assassin's Court will review it.

Although Gu Hang never used the sponsor status after he got it.

He didn't need it.

If they really wanted to do dirty work, the Alliance had its own spy department.

But even though he didn't need it, Gu Hang had always asked the Alliance's diplomats stationed in Holy Terra to send some money to the Assassin Court whenever he had time. It wasn't much, just tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, to fulfill the duty of "sponsorship".

Not to get people to work, just to build relationships.

Gu Hang even occasionally had private correspondence with Clement to talk about the current situation.

He would occasionally reply, showing a willingness to get close.

In fact, from some of the news sent back by Gallardo, Clement's presence in the High Lords' Council has always been relatively low, relatively low-key, not talking much, just voting silently. When it comes to some matters about Gu Hang, the Alliance, and the southern battlefield in the previous war, Clement's attitude is basically neutral and slightly close.

This is good, it makes Gu Hang feel that his money is not wasted; he was assassinated by the Assassin Court, but no one pursued him, so he got some return.

So what is the situation now?

Say hello?

He and Clement have a private communication channel. If he really wants to say hello, why not ask normally?

Why in such a sensitive way?

Is this a warning?

Is it a malicious warning or a well-intentioned warning?

Gu Hang thought for a long time in silence.

He had some ideas.

However, he quickly decided not to guess blindly.

Wouldn't it be better to ask?

He also had two good targets for questioning.

The first was Gallardo.

The second was Clement himself.
