Chapter 744, The Great Sage Visits

The other side of the Imperial Double-Headed Eagle is the Mechanicus, which everyone must recognize.

Without the Mechanicus, a considerable part of the Empire's navy and Astra Militarum would lose their equipment and supply sources; a considerable part of the warbands would be out of food all of a sudden.

This is their most important value - the largest part of the Empire's industrial production.

Whether in terms of technical level or productivity, this is true.

In addition, from their own strength, the Mechanicus also has a strong military force.

And in the Mechanicus, the status of the Mars Sect is undoubtedly the most important.

Even though there are various sects in the Mechanicus, many sects are not very obedient to the attitude of Mars, the leader.

However, no matter how much they disobey, they must obey.

All the ambitions on the surface must be hidden, and small actions can only be made in secret.

Otherwise, if they are really punished by the leader, there are not many other branches of the Mechanicus in the entire Empire that can withstand it.

And among the Martian sects, the one with the highest status and the leader of the Martian sect is the Mars Casting General.

The Martian Cult controls more than just one forge world, of course, but many. However, the most important one is Mars. The Forge General of Mars is the supreme leader of the entire cult. Moreover, the position of the High Lord of the Mechanicus in the Supreme Council has always belonged to the Forge General since the Council was established ten thousand years ago, and has never been lost.

Under the Forge General, the Martian Cult has the largest number of Great Sages among all the cults.

This is a higher level than the Sage of the Main Occupation.

The intelligence department of the Alliance still pays close attention to the Martian Cult, especially the Foreign Affairs Bureau branch that Salihovic brought to Holy Terra.

Although the Alliance has not had much dealings with the Martian Cult so far. However, their existence itself should not be ignored.

Of course, after all, the Foreign Affairs Bureau did not directly insert agents into the Martian Cult. At most, it sent dozens of people to Mars in different identities. All they can do is to collect some routine intelligence regularly.

According to publicly available reports, there are a total of seventeen Great Sages on Mars. It is not ruled out that there are still a considerable number of great sages who have not been exposed.

Among these seventeen, Kaul's name is on the list.

However, in general, this is a very low-key and somewhat mysterious great sage. He rarely appears in public, and he is rarely seen in many great sage lectures on Mars. It is still unknown what direction he is currently conducting research in and what key achievements he has made in the past.

The only thing that can be said is that this great sage comes from a very ancient era. No one knows how old he is, but at least five hundred years ago, there were some records of him.

He may be the oldest among all the great sages on Mars.

When Gu Hang heard that he was coming to visit and was already at the door without prior notice, he thought about it for a while and still felt that he must meet him.

It would be inappropriate not to meet him.

He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, what was Kaul's purpose in meeting him?

But he didn't let him guess for nothing.

The hunched-over Great Sage, who was completely hidden under his robe and had a mask on his face, revealing all kinds of completely transformed facial organs, and even not much skin left, stated his purpose directly after entering the door and confirming that there was no one else around.

"Mr. Gu Hang, I want to see you for three things."

"You tell me." Gu Hang was not surprised by the other party's straightforwardness.

It is normal for someone who comes uninvited to be more direct.

In the past month, there have been more roundabout words, and it is also good to be more direct.

The Great Sage's somewhat harsh electronic synthesized voice continued to sound:

"First, I want to inform you that Yasdai once issued an order to assassinate you to the Assassin Court."

"Huh?"

Gu Hang did not expect it to be about this matter.

He has never stopped investigating this matter. Salihovic's Foreign Affairs Bureau has a capable team that is specifically responsible for it.

There is also a line to the Assassin Court.

However, there has been no gain so far. The matter was too secretive, and the Foreign Affairs Bureau could not find out; the Assassin Court followed the rules and refused to say anything.

Gu Hang had already lost hope. Anyway, that was the enemy, and they would eventually face each other. We would just have to show our abilities and wait and see.

But he did not expect that he would get clues in this way.

Yasdai, Gu Hang knew this person.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_Bar released this novel for the first time.

That was the chairman of the Devouring Star Universe, one of the high lords in the Supreme Council of the Empire.

The chairmen of the universe are all qualified to elect high lords, but the probability of being elected is quite low. Among the more than fifty chairmen of the universe, there are only one or two in each batch of high lords, and sometimes there are none at all.

Moreover, they are often the lowest in status among the high lords. They are often other departments that are qualified to elect, such as the Ministry of Justice, the Psychic Order, and the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, which have not yet obtained a position.

In addition to this, there may be some additional seats, but they are not permanent, such as the Holy Mother Superior of the Sisters of Battle, and the Lord of the Sun, who was once Sohkaim.

Sometimes, when the people in these positions or the department itself is weak and cannot serve as high lords, the vacant seats will be filled by the elected chairman of the universe.

To put it bluntly, it is just to make up the numbers among the high lords.

But no matter how much he makes up the numbers, he is still a high lord. Putting aside his status, his vote will not be any different from others in the Supreme Council.

Because of this, some powerful high lords, especially those whose own interests are more closely related to local governments, will like to support a chairman of the universe who has a good relationship with them and listens to them to enter the High Lord Council.

Isn't this vote equivalent to his own?

For example, at present, the high lord position of the chairman of the Devouring Star Universe was supported by the prime minister. When the prime minister needs it, the vote will follow the prime minister.

Of course, he is at least a local lord at the level of the chairman of the universe, and with the status of a high lord, he will not be ordered around like a dog. When the Prime Minister did not make clear requests, Yasdai could still vote according to his own ideas, especially in matters that were closely related to the interests of his own universe.

For example, in the Iron Armor War.

The Devouring Star Universe was a little dissatisfied with the haste to provoke conflicts, which caused damage to its own universe.

Therefore, it seemed reasonable that he would be a little unhappy with himself.

But would the conflict between the two sides be so big that they would have to resort to assassination?

And why did the great sage of the Mechanicus come to tell him this news?

Staring at the face that had been transformed to the point where it looked nothing like a human, Gu Hang's doubts grew more and more.
