Starting from the Planetary Governor-Chapter 795 - 486, Only You, My Friend

Chapter 895 -486, Only You, My Friend

Outside Terra Imperial Palace, Gu Hang encountered two renowned legions of the Imperial Army.

The Golden Knight Legion, and the Imperial Guard.

The former is one of the original interstellar soldier corps, the founding corps, to which countless Battle Groups split from the Seventh Legion look up as their mother corps.

The Golden Knight Legion is stationed on Holy Terra, the only Battle Group of Interstellar Warriors that can recruit directly from Terra.

Besides Terra, they also have a mother planet—Duang Star, from which they can recruit; Moreover, there is another granted recruitment world: Romond, a Nest Capital World with a population of two hundred billion.

Sometimes, Gu Hang would mock, does a single Battle Group really need so many recruitment worlds? The population of these three worlds combined outnumbers that of a whole Star Domain by a lot.

Could it be true, the rumor that the Golden Knights vehemently deny — that they enlist a vast number of new soldiers in ‘excess of quota’?

There are also whispers that the Golden Knights would redistribute these ‘unused’ elite recruits to some of their sub-legions, such as the renowned Black Cross Legion. Gu Hang suspects this might be true as well.

Outside Terra Imperial Palace, Gu Hang could no longer take his original flying vehicle and had to switch to one designated for use within the Palace. This procedure was supervised by the Interstellar Warriors of the Golden Knight Legion as well as the Terra Defense Army.

After switching to the dedicated flying vehicle of Terra Imperial Palace, passing through one of the numerous grand gates located on a plateau surrounded by tall walls, Gu Hang entered the Imperial Palace and encountered the genuine Imperial Guard.

They donned golden armors, all noticeably taller than any Interstellar Warrior Gu Hang had encountered. The designs on their armors were intricately terrifying, adorned with jewels. Atop their elongated helmets fluttered proud tassels of red, matched with the bright red cape and armor trim, creating an imposing presence of gold and red.

Gu Hang believed that the adornments on these two Imperial Guards were not merely for show. He could feel a distressing power emanating from them that suppressed the ambient Spiritual Energy.

It wasn’t enough to inhibit Gu Hang from using his Spiritual Energy, but it was certainly sufficient to pose a threat.

Should it come to a real fight, Gu Hang felt he could take them down, but it would be far more difficult than dealing with an Interstellar Warrior.

No wonder these were the top tier of the Empire’s Super Soldiers, created painstakingly by The Emperor himself, templates of ‘perfect humans.’

Gu Hang earnestly went through the inspection and handed over his personal documents.

His identity of course posed no issue, but as an A-rated Psychic, he was considered a subject of strict limitation and was thus ordered to wear a bracelet made from some black stone.

This artifact strongly suppressed Gu Hang’s Spiritual Power.

He estimated that under normal conditions, he wouldn’t even be able to remove the bracelet using his own power; his psychic strength would be suppressed to a very low level. Yet, if he exerted full effort, tearing through a Subspace Rift to summon the power of the Storm God Kingdom, it would be possible to destroy the bracelet. But to do such a thing within Terra Imperial Palace would be pure suicide. If a simple bracelet possessed such a potent psychic suppression effect, then within the Palace, there must be far more powerful means of energy dampening.

Feeling somewhat insecure, Gu Hang still obediently wore the bracelet and compliantly followed a Terra official deeper into the Imperial Palace.

He finally met Galaraldo.

The Terra Imperial Palace was the current core of the Central Government of the Empire, and as a high official of the Central Empire, Galaraldo’s office and residence were both situated here. The latter came with his position.

Upon meeting, Galaraldo greeted Gu Hang with a big hug.

“It’s been ages, and you haven’t changed a bit!” Galaraldo’s attitude was very warm.

Gu Hang felt that the Psyche Seed he had planted in this former Apostle of War, now the Executive Director of the Military Affairs Department, had vanished.

To be honest, this gave Gu Hang a bit of a shock.

But soon, he calmed down.

Galaraldo’s demeanor didn’t seem to be feigned, which didn’t match the reaction if the psyche-manipulating seed had been discovered.

It’s also possible that Galaraldo was playing a role, pretending to be close. But on one hand it didn’t seem like it, on the other hand, there seemed no need.

Given Galaraldo’s nature, if he knew that his sense of gratitude for Gu Hang saving his life, as well as the subsequent affectionate emotions, were all false—an illusion spawned by manipulations from Gu Hang, with his unforgiving temperament, it would be impossible for him to refrain from acting all this time. He would have started causing trouble for Gu Hang, seeking ways to kill him.

But none of these scenarios occurred.

Gu Hang was still quite confident in his own methods; not only were they covert and sophisticated, but mainly because the interference he initiated was minimalistic and difficult to detect.

Based on the current situation, Gu Hang deduced the truth: The psyche seed had been completely assimilated; Now Galaraldo’s ‘feelings’ toward him were genuine, stemming from his heart, resistant to any scrutiny, for the psychic influence had vanished entirely.

This was a good thing; Gu Hang no longer had to worry about his manipulations of Galaraldo’s mind being exposed.

However, there were drawbacks; since the locked-in level of fondness was no more, it meant that if Gu Hang were to utter something offensive or perform an upsetting action, the former Apostle of War’s perception of him could sour, even turning into hostility.
