Starting from the Planetary Governor

Lacroix is one of the standouts, this recipient of the Alliance Hero Medal is almost one of the earliest combat heroes to be enlightened. Currently wearing Powered Armor, his personal strength is even stable enough to surpass a Phoenix Veteran.

Of course, this is almost the upper limit for normal mortals, even with the [Hero] template enhancement, it couldn't be elevated further. Lacroix, being a mortal, and his Feedback-Type Power Armor is different from the real Interstellar Warrior Powered Armor; he couldn't possibly catch up to an Interstellar Warrior in terms of hard conditions. What he could rely on are his powerful combat skills and excellent battle intelligence.

At this moment, Lacroix used these aspects to the fullest.

While Gu Hang was traveling to the Marshal's Terrace in a ceremonial car, Lacroix as a bodyguard, also brought two squads of warriors, following in four Hover Cars alongside Gu Hang's ceremonial car.

The moment Gu Hang was attacked, the elite warriors had already reacted.

Lacroix especially swiftly.

The four assassins mainly focused on targeting Gu Hang, and were somewhat inadequate in dealing with Gu Hang's bodyguards.

Moreover, objectively speaking, there is a huge difference in the combat abilities between the two sides. The equipment on the assassins is clearly very sophisticated and expensive, but their main skills are focused on concealing themselves. For attributes needed in direct confrontations like physical enhancement and protective capabilities, they are definitely insufficient.

At least not comparable to the legitimate Feedback-Type Power Armor 'Servant God'.

And, they clearly did not expect that these mere mortal bodyguards around Gu Hang would have such strong combat abilities.

Especially Lacroix.

After he quickly got out of the car, with his Precision Bombard Gun, he delivered bombs to an assassin in a very precise manner.

The assassins were surprised to find that their disguises had almost no effect.

However, these assassins were also extremely agile and exquisite in their movements. The one targeted by Lacroix was caught off guard and injured at the beginning but was still able to dodge. Of course, he couldn't dodge the bullets, but he could catch the rhythm of Lacroix's shooting and dodge in advance.

Yet, this was still within Lacroix's expectations.

He maintained running while shooting, and his shooting was forcing the assassin to move closer to himself while dodging. The distance between the two rapidly closed under this double approach.

That assassin certainly realized this, but was not afraid.

Lacroix's shooting skills exceeded his expectations. He was eager to enter into close combat, even if he couldn't quickly defeat, he could tie down this unexpectedly skilled bodyguard to buy as much time as possible for his teammates.

The strong camouflage coats and their outstanding agility and flexibility made their movements resemble a dance. This technique and skill, acquired from a group known as 'Spirit Race', could be utilized to a certain extent by these specially modified assassins.

During the 'dance', however, he only saw a flash of the blade, and his body was cut diagonally into two sections.

Lacroix's Fine Work Dynamo Sword was like lightning, unavoidable. His Spirit Race War Dance seemed to have had no effect at all.

The assassin's gaze remained astonished as if to express his complete disbelief in how lethal Lacroix's gaze was and how fast his blade was, even more outrageous than any Interstellar Warrior he had encountered.

But Lacroix would not give him any answers.

Currently, his heart filled with immense urgency, his Bombardment Gun was already firing at another assassin.

And this, was the scene Gu Hang saw when he reemerged from Storm God Kingdom.

After an assassin died, the magic-inhibiting net that sealed off the space around Gu Hang instantly became unstable.

At least, it could not lock down an Alpha-class Psychic.

Gu Hang, freed from constraints, raised his Spiritual Energy Shield, replacing it to withstand the heat, burst out of the heat meltdown area, while also summoning lightning, locking down two assassins. Lightning struck from nowhere, killing these two assassins who realized their mission failed.

And the last one was left by Gu Hang on purpose.

He attempted to keep a living captive, seizing the assassin with his psychic power.

With the magic-inhibiting net completely collapsed, Gu Hang could control every inch of the guy's muscles, ensuring that he couldn't make a single move.

However, moments later, that assassin still died.

Inside his body, there seemed to be some special mechanism that triggered automatically under Gu Hang's control, eliminating his life from within.

Dropping this corpse, Gu Hang looked into the distance.

That was where the initial two sniper bullets came from.

There were five assassins in total.

Gu Hang looked in another direction, three rays of golden light were rapidly approaching. Those were the Imperial Guards riding hover motorcycles.

Inside Terra Imperial Palace, without a doubt, it was the domain of the Imperial Forbidden Army, who are fully responsible for the security work of Terra Imperial Palace.

Terra Imperial Palace is certainly not an absolutely safe place. As the core of the Empire's power scene, assassinations and coups happen frequently. Most assassinations are conducted covertly. Poison, daggers in the dark, a silent bullet from nowhere, leaving behind just a corpse after the deed.
