Start with Planetary Governor

Chapter 23, The Captain's Mind

The battle by the river bend is over.

The trembling serfs who stayed in the Datong shop in a few simple board houses next door were kicked out.The low-ranking non-commissioned officers of the waste hole company announced to them that they had been liberated by the governor and were free.

The serfs who heard this did not move at all.These people never think that freedom is a good thing, and they don't even understand what freedom means.

Does freedom refer to the precariousness of wandering the wasteland in the past?Is it referring to the hunger and cold when living at the foot of the revived city?

At that time, I was quite free, and I could do whatever I wanted, but I had no food, no clothes to wear, and I could see dead people every day, those who starved to death, died of illness, were robbed and killed by others... all kinds of things.

Especially in winter, the most difficult.

Compared with those times, they are quite satisfied with their current life.Although they don't eat well and are tired, they are laborers in the fields, and the master will not let them starve to death—at least until they lose their ability to work.

As a result, a group of subordinates who claimed to be the governor came and beat them up. It seemed that their master was finished, and they were liberated and regained their freedom.

But they were at a loss.

ah?I am free?

Almost tears flowed out.

However, what they said next reassured them a lot.

They don't know what good is freedom, but at least they know that bread is a good thing.

A batch of sufficient food was distributed.The serfs, who used to be only half-fed every day-oh, now they are free people-gobbled food.

While they were eating, someone announced to them what was to come.

They were no longer serfs, but freedmen under the Governor.Next, the governor will personally manage the entire floodplain valley estate, requiring a large number of agricultural employees.Food and housing are included, plus a bonus that is not too much, but will increase with production.They are free to come and go without restriction, and those who are willing to stay can be employed.

Only fools will not stay.

Suddenly, the panic, confusion, and bewilderment in the hearts of the serfs almost disappeared.

They don't need to know more about other things, as long as they know that they won't be hungry and blow cold wind afterwards, that's fine.

After eating, they should also go out to work.The corpses should be cleaned up and burned, the walls destroyed during the war should also be repaired, the fields that have been trampled or bombed should be cleaned up, and some harvests should be preserved as much as possible.

The whole manor is already busy.

After Yan Fangxu had roughly arranged things, there wasn't much else to do.

He looked at the rolling hills across the river bend, in a daze.

With the help of the psyker, or cultist, he just met, he was thinking about his future.

When he was sent to the surface as the governor's guard, he originally felt that his future was bleak.

He still remembered that day, before the Governor left the starship to land on the surface, he asked Captain Yelicia for armed protection.Madam Brigadier General originally only planned to send [-] servants to the governor, and it was over after a while.

But who made it a joke that day, when he was bored and talked to his colleagues, and talked about an inexperienced woman who was promoted to captain and commodore at the speed of light?
More importantly, it was heard by the captain.

The emperor can learn from it. In fact, he really doesn't have much opinion on the female captain in his heart, but his colleagues are joking like this, so he just jokes along.

But why did the captain hear it at the right time when he spoke?

shit!

It just so happened that the governor named Gu Hang was complaining that it was too little to give [-] servants, so Yelicia waved his hand and asked him to join the governor with [-] marine soldiers.

Under the joyful laughter of his colleagues and the gloating laughter, he, a young Marine Corps captain, can only lead thirty people to the surface.

He was distraught and felt that life was gloomy.

Who doesn't know that the Governor of Fury Owl Star is a consumable every two years?He is a little captain, offended the captain, throwing him to the surface is tantamount to exile.Even if he protected the governor, that guy would inevitably be executed because he couldn't pay his taxes.He will also waste two years on Fury Owl Star, without making any progress.

But he still has to do his job well.On the one hand, it is the sense of responsibility of the soldiers. On the other hand, it is one thing for the governor to be executed by the tax department, but if he dies under his protection, then he will be more responsible.

As for the governor who finally paid the taxes, then secured the position of planetary governor, led the revival of the entire planet, and finally thanked him for his help in the last days, became his backer, and made him flourish?

He had thought about this in his dreams, but he didn't dare to think about it when he was awake.

Of course he hoped that the future would be like that, but that was too unlikely.In particular, Your Excellency the Governor is still whimsical, not planning to quickly take over the alliance regime and find ways to raise taxes, but thinking about developing the territory from scratch... God Emperor, where do you have that time?

But then I thought again, what does this have to do with him?Anyway, it will not be me who will be executed at that time.

Then, as time went by, his heart gradually became alive again.Thoughts that only occurred to me in my dreams when I first landed on the surface occasionally came to my mind when I was awake.

Is it really possible for Gu Hang to succeed?
The reason why he thinks this way is of course not just Governor Gu Hang's appearance that everything is always under control.He'd seen a lot of pretenders, and he didn't know, and didn't want to, to find out if the governor was like that.

He doesn't want to look at attitudes, he only believes in facts.

The truth is, the governor is a rare psyker, and he will accompany soldiers like them in battle.Two battles were won and two camps were captured.This is not a big enough achievement, far from saving lives, but the Governor is indeed advancing his plan.

Moreover, the governor did not know where to get two black box manufacturing machines.The Imperial Church of Mechanics would probably be willing to pay a large price for such a magical thing.

These performances gave him more confidence in the governor than his sense of responsibility, especially those two black boxes.

It seems that things are not messed up at all?

Today, he and the governor met a psyker.At first, he thought that the man named Vaughn was just an ordinary psyker, but according to the governor's judgment, he was a cult member.

Cults, heresies...that's a good enemy.If the so-called 'Original Moonkin Sect' is indeed identified as a heretical cult, then the credit for eliminating them is not small.

But he still has doubts, is it really a 'cult'?

Is it a reason made up by the governor to ask for more assistance, or is it true?
