Start with Planetary Governor

Chapter 244, Knights
Wang Qi was not the kind of woman who would be terrified at the sight of blood.

Although she is a businessman, blood is indeed not uncommon.

After Lacroxia pushed the side door into a residential house and avoided the first round of bullets, she immediately stood up, found a window from the side, observed the battle outside, and was ready to support at any time .

She is not powerless either.

Wang Qi once took time out to experience two months of professional military training.Of course, that wouldn't make her a qualified fighter, but at least it would make her know how to shoot.

In addition, she has a skill that is much stronger than ordinary fighters: money.

Her two earrings, together with the tail rings worn on her little fingers on her two hands, together form a miniaturized shield generator.After starting at full power, it can provide three hours of protection and can withstand the direct bombardment of 3 rounds of 155mm howitzers.

Shield generators are already very expensive things, but the set in Ms. Wang Qi's hands is many, many times more expensive than ordinary shield generators.

Generally speaking, a shield generator device may be as big as a car; but this set has achieved the ultimate in miniaturization.It can be constructed with only ultra-small items such as earrings and rings, and it doesn't feel out of place to wear them when wearing an evening dress to a banquet.

Obviously, this thing is absolutely impossible to be something that can be mass-produced.In fact, this is a masterpiece made by the foundry master using very high-end equipment for a long time.Moreover, there are also special jewelry masters who have made exquisite designs for it to ensure that it is still beautiful, elegant and high-end without affecting its functionality.

Moreover, this miniaturized shield generator has a very important special effect: it will be automatically triggered when a threat is detected, that is, it can prevent the owner from being unable to react when he is attacked. , it was over before the shield generator could take effect.

From these perspectives, one can imagine how high the value of this set of earrings and rings will be.

In addition, she also pulled out a weapon strapped there from the inside of the skirt at the thigh of the evening dress.

This is a flintlock gun, the ebony wood exudes a little fragrance, and there are hollowed-out glyphs on it, which are filled with gold, revealing a high level of craftsmanship.

It really looks more like a vintage craft than a weapon.

But in fact, this ancient flintlock gun can be filled with four bullets at a time.Regardless of the material of the loaded bullets, the first four bullets fired every day have powerful spiritual power, and will produce a violent spiritual explosion after touching the shooting target.The power of a single psionic explosive bullet even exceeds that of a heavy bolter.

However, she was not so arrogant that with these things, she could really survive this crisis.

In fact, with the whole set of things on her body, it can be seen that the core goal is to defend against assassination.

Ms. Wang Qi has never put herself in absolute danger.When the assassin's first wave of attacks was blocked by the shield generator, the psionic flintlock gave her a certain means of counterattack. As long as there was a slight delay, the elite bodyguards who were not far from her should be there all the time. , it will be in place quickly and remove the threat.

Normally it should be like this.

But at this moment, it is obviously not a normal situation.What she has to face is not an assassination, but a real war.

How about a shield generator?The 155mm howitzer that can hold back three rounds is simply a wall of sighs when facing an assassination, but in a war, several machine guns and rifles are fired at one another, and it will explode in a short time.Not to mention, the shield generator is the same as the void shield. It is very insensitive to things approaching slowly, and bullets cannot break through it. But if a person approaches with a knife, the shield generator is useless.

There are far more dangerous things in war than assassination.

And why did the situation on Black Arrow Star turn into a war?
That would start a few days ago.

Wang Qi and her fleet came all the way here after leaving Nu Xiaoxing.Black Arrow is a planet still in the feudal era, with a population of [-] million, and dozens of feudal kingdoms, large and small.Among them, the most powerful seven form the King's Council, and every few years, one of them will be elected to become the governor, responsible for communicating with the imperial department.

From this point of view, the power of the governor of Black Arrow Star is quite small.Just do a docking job. Whether the tax can be collected or not depends on whether the kingdoms cooperate with each other—of course, they usually cooperate.Those who don't cooperate will be beaten, even if it is a big kingdom, they don't want to bear the wrath of the empire, and they will also be criticized by other countries for their cooperation.

There will definitely be many conspiracies and tricks around this mechanism.For example, the governor pits other kingdoms, or other kingdoms pit the kingdom that is currently the governor...

But these things, Wang Qi did not pay attention.There are countless worlds within the empire, with different technological levels, economic foundations, and political ecology. Who has the time to infiltrate so many?

What Wang Qi is concerned about is that most of the kingdoms of Black Arrow Star have a very good relationship with Gu's Commercial Bank. This relationship is even so good that the family meetings of Gu's Chamber of Commerce in recent decades have been held on Black Arrow Star.The local Seven Great Kingdoms all welcomed their arrival and fully supported a series of activities of the Gu Family Conference.

This time, it was no exception—at least not at first.

Currently, the governor of Black Arrow is the king of Luman Kingdom, Ness Luman.This is the third largest country on the planet, and the place where the meeting is held is also the capital of the country, Pinthel City.

The whole city of Pinser was decorated with lights and colored lights, treating this event as a grand festival.

In recent days, after the leading figures from the fourteen major caravans of the Gu Chamber of Commerce arrived one by one, public or private banquets began one after another.

Wang Qi has been preparing for many years to compete for the position of the head of the family, and now it is just the last step.Although she could feel the struggle of her late husband's cousin, the guy was jumping up and down and causing a lot of trouble. He even tried to disrupt the rhythm by holding a family meeting in advance.

But none of that makes much sense.

Before the family meeting officially started, Wang Qi further consolidated and confirmed the relationship between allies through banquets and private conversations.

Of the fourteen major caravans, she still firmly controls four, and the other four are her firm allies.When the meeting begins and the voting begins, with eight votes in hand, she will almost certainly be able to push her son to the position of head of the family.

Then, two days before the conference, when a dinner was coming to an end, the loud sound of gunfire and shouts of death reached their ears.

Wang Qi realized almost immediately that Gu Ming was in a hurry.

After being reminded by her son, she has consciously taken precautions against this problem.Around her, the original standard security force had been strengthened three times; everyone was on high alert; she reminded all the caravan lords to pay attention and be careful about this problem, and asked them to maintain the highest level of security. Under the standard of guarantee, the security force will be doubled.

In addition, the caravan ships in the sky are also preparing for war at all times to avoid sneak attacks and surprise attacks; the expeditionary regiment assigned to her by Gu Hang also moved to the outskirts of Pinser through the process of caravan material exchange. In a small town.

Wang Qi tried her best to hide their traces, but she also knew that it would be difficult for a force of almost 3 people to remain unnoticed.

But being exposed also has the benefit of being exposed, and it is good to form a deterrent: I have an army outside, so be careful.

As long as it doesn't work, that's fine.After all, as long as it continues to operate normally, she has a high probability of being the winner.But Gu Ming still jumped out.

In fact, Wang Qi still can't understand.

Indeed, if you don't jump out, you can't win.But what if you lose?
Since the establishment of the Gu family, although there has been internal competition, but up to now, nearly 300 years, five generations of inheritance, there has been no vicious bloody competition.There may be many such things in other families, but the internal struggles of the Gu family have never deteriorated to this extent.It is more united than other chambers of commerce, which in itself is one of the reasons why Gu's can grow.

If Gu Ming loses, the two parties have no other deep hatred, they are still relatives, and Wang Qi, as the winner, wins in a fair manner, so it is unnecessary and impossible to kill him cleanly.

When the two met, they might have to play the whole uncle and sister-in-law to show the unity of the family.

For such a Gu Ming, let alone being an idle rich man, it is not even realistic for Wang Qi to deprive him of the Chamber of Commerce fleet he controls.

Gu Ming retains his own power, retreating can become a hilltop in the Gu's Chamber of Commerce, and advancing can continue to fight for the position of Patriarch in the next cycle.

But if you do this, you will have a bad start and completely break the rules.After the matter is over, there is no possibility of being good.

Gu Ming will not understand.

Therefore, even at the last moment, Wang Qi actually felt that Gu Ming might cause trouble, but the probability was not high.

But now that everything has happened, there is nothing left to say.

Take good precautions and use them.

The news of the outbreak of the battle was sent to the Angry Owl Star army in the small town on the outskirts; in the city, the security measures of each family were urgently deployed and mobilized; quickly contact King Luman, who is currently serving as the governor of the Black Arrow Star, and let him control the situation in his capital …

At this stage, Wang Qi's mentality is still very stable.When she and her allies were sitting in the banquet hall, she even had time to perform and lament twice, saying that it was impossible for Gu Ming to do this, there must be someone around him bewitching, sighing that Gu Ming's head was dizzy, and they were even discussing the aftermath How to deal with this problem.

The situation outside has indeed begun to improve.The security measures were adequate, and the surrounding area was tightly controlled; upon hearing the report from the front, the army of the Luman Kingdom also marched into the city, controlling the situation in the whole city, and the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing also subsided.

At the end, they were all discussing how to catch Gu Ming after the situation calmed down, so as not to let him run away.

But at this moment, the situation took a turn for the worse in a very short period of time.

The key point is that the Luman Kingdom's army, which was supposed to enter the city to quell the chaos, lined up and came to where Wang Qi and the others were, hoping to enter this area and take over the defense.

They said very well that the situation in the city is unstable, and adding stronger troops for protection is a necessary measure.

But at this time, Lacroxia, who joined Wang Qi's security team with a special team, raised strong objections.

Wang Qi also kept a careful eye and did not let them get close.

Then, the Luman army that came in full force launched an all-out attack on them.

The productivity of the Luman Kingdom remained at the feudal level, the industrialization was poor, and the main economic base relied on agriculture.But their army, weapons and equipment are not too bad.

They can't produce, or the production capacity is too weak to independently support the needs of an army's weapons, but it doesn't prevent them from buying them.

G5, G6 series of individual armaments, cannons, all these things are available.

Of course, even if this is the case, their equipment level is still far behind the security team of the wealthy Gu family.

But it's unreasonable for the cannon to explode from a distance.

But if it's just the threat of artillery, that's fine.It is optional to form an elite unit, rush outward, and eliminate the artillery unit.Gu's security, almost all of them have alloy plastic armor, laser guns, electromagnetic rifles, melta bombs, plasma guns and other things. The whole centurion is really hard to stop.

However, what is most unexpected is that the real killer weapon of the Luman Kingdom has been deployed.

knight.

A feudal country, of course, is a feudal system.The king enfeoffed the lords, and the lords enfeoffed the knights, forming the ruling class: the nobility.And for those nobles, one of the core conditions for being entrusted is to have their own 'mount': mecha.

On the Black Arrow Star, a very speechless scene will happen: the serfs are using medieval planting techniques to cultivate intensively and diligently, and hand over [-]% of the harvest to their lords. Only the most basic food was left; the knight drove his mecha and patrolled his farmland to ensure that the serfs were not lazy.

And when necessary, the knights would follow the call of the lord, lead the militia transformed from serfs, and gather to fight under the lord's banner; the lords would follow the king's call, lead their army, and fight under the king's banner.

This is the system of the Luman Kingdom, and it is also the system of the entire Black Arrow Star.

Those poor little knights may have inherited the most common set of sentinel mechas for eight generations.This thing is not even recognized as a serious knight mech in the imperial military sequence.But no matter what, it was also a mech, with a height of about three and a half meters, covered with metal, and the two burst cannons fixed on the side were powerful, and they were not afraid of bullets.

At least two hundred of these sentinel mechas appeared in King Luman's army;

At the same time, there are two real knight mechs, or what can be called knight titans.

[Ranger Knight Titan], with a height of [-] meters, with a four-barreled burst heavy cannon in his left hand, a gravity fist and a howitzer launcher in his right hand, and sixteen range-extending rockets behind him...

This thing is a little scary.

The "Knights" of the Luman Kingdom are the biggest threat.And it was this Knights that almost destroyed Gu's security defense.
