Chapter 1739: Chapter 988: Evil God’s Grace
Gu Jing glanced at the rapidly advancing enemy.
It was indeed an elite team, indicating that the enemy valued him highly.
Not only was it comprised of the most elite Navy Marine Corps warriors, but leading them were dozens of Chaos Starfield Warriors.
But unfortunately, they were already too late.
No matter if this unit coming to intercept and eliminate him had arrived, it was meaningless.
Before Gu Jing came, he already knew from intelligence that there were Interstellar Warriors among the enemy. These people now were definitely Chaos Starfield Warriors, while before they acted under the guise of a Loyalist Warband, serving as ’instructors’ to train the orbital defense forces on Terra.
Of course, by now, it’s clear that they were helpers invited by these Chaos Traitors, undoubtedly belonging to the Chaos Starfield Warriors.
The scale of dozens of people is not small. Moreover, Gu Jing also believed among them must be some experts.
But so what?
Too late is too late.
After the internal review of the Solar Fleet concluded, Gu Jing realized that to detach the fleet led by Song Min in the follow-up, there was another key issue to address—the orbital defense system of Holy Terra.
During previous interrogations, although it’s impossible to clearly know who these high-level officers’ superiors within the Jianqi Cult were—this is normal, as the Jianqi Cult always emphasizes confidentiality in this area.
However, it was learned through interrogation that a significant portion of high-level orders originated from an orbiting fortress known as the ’Base Holy Grail’.
This orbital fortress is one of the most important among many fortresses in Holy Terra’s defense system.
Silently, Gu Jing utilized his Psychic powers and snuck in without triggering the fortress’s anti-spiritual teleportation alarms.
He then lay in wait, biding his time.
At this critical moment of battle, Gu Jing also noticed that Robert intended to shift from a tactical response to a full-scale assault, aiming to seize control of Holy Terra’s orbit in one decisive move.
Thus, he needed to hide no longer and took action directly.
His way was to summon more forces to join the fray.
By himself, completely controlling this orbital fortress and eliminating potential heads of Jianqi corruption is not impossible, just a bit challenging.
After all, one person can’t handle the tasks of many. Though he’s considered a ’Son of God’ now, being just one individual, it’ll be easier for the enemy to restrain him and present him with a few tricky dilemmas.
Returning empty-handed isn’t likely, but losing a few crucial targets is possible.
So he decided to summon sufficient reinforcements directly.
Even if exposure is possible, it doesn’t matter. The Teleportation Array is already formed.
With his abilities, bringing in hundreds of Interstellar Warriors is not a problem.
On the other side, the elite forces from the Grey Knight Battle Group and the Black Cross Battle Group were ready.
Grey Knight Grand Master Changding and Black Templar Grand Marshal Rosemond were top-tier, champion-level figures chosen by the gods.
The Grey Knights led by Changding are experts in dealing with demon corruption; Rosemond’s marshal’s trusted aide are all Champion Swordsmen.
This formidable team, having endured the explosion of the Cartier Fortress World, wandered through subspace and the Spirit Race webway, and fought continuously in Robert’s Terra Expedition. Many of them perished along the journey, and those who survived to the present are without exception the strongest.
Before Gu Jing arrived, he explained the mission objectives and potential risks for this operation, and they agreed without hesitation.
Saving Holy Terra is an unquestionable duty.
And those traitors from the Wise Man’s Legion sent by Galaraldo would face such a psychologically and combatively undefeated force.
The outcome, naturally, requires no further elaboration.
Without any politeness, Rosemond, this ’Sword Saint’, took the lead on the front line.
The traitors from the Wise Man’s Battle Group even attempted to use Chaos Magic to obstruct the Sword Saint.
They are always skilled in such things, with most ’Sages’ being not only Interstellar Warriors but also outstanding Chaos Wizards.
Indeed, their bodies underneath the solid power armor had long mutated into the most suitable state as psychic energy carriers, no longer resembling humans.
However, they faced the Grey Knights.
Grand Master Changding merely tapped his staff on the ground, and the Exorcism Scriptures engraved on the armor of himself and dozens of Grey Knights all lit up.
Although they can’t eliminate all psychic responses in one area like the Silent Sisters or the ’Pariah’, the Grey Knights have their own capabilities. They are anti-psychic, anti-demon specialists, not just suppressing enemy tactics, but they also have utilization methods.
More than half of the traitors’ Chaos Magic suddenly failed, and among the remaining who succeeded in casting, half found the spells rebounding upon themselves. Not enough to kill them outright, but certainly causing enough chaos to prevent them from effectively hindering Rosemond.
