The Star Knight - 139. Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Nine

The real fire phoenix spread its wings across the void for hundreds of billions of years. In the cold and lonely interstellar vacuum, the Ares star is like a huge furnace. It is like the heart of a giant, erupting thousands of rays of light, and the released magnetic field covers most of the Ares galaxy, and the fiery star is shrouded in a dark thundercloud.

Opening the light screen in the cockpit of Phoenix, it showed a three-dimensional line map of a small planet. At this moment, it is slowly advancing in the meteorite belt on the periphery of the planetary system.

Imperial fortress-saint.

Opal still remembers that when he first heard it, he was in the class of wrenches, the ultimate defensive weapon equipped with light shock cannons, an asteroid military fortress.

Phoenix flies to the star, and the space station sends a communication:

“Aha, it’s obviously not so good these days. The weather is terrible, and there are too many visitors to Liexing. Let me see, who is it?”

“Andre.” Opal said: “Are you still alive?”

The voice of the space station was startled, and then said: “Adventurer? Interesting, how do you know my name? The star has fallen to the point of being saved by the China Aerospace Association…”

“I think… Maybe we were friends in the last life.” Opal said.

Andre said: “It’s possible, well, I believe you are not hostile.”

Opal said: “We just came to visit Ms. Refina.”

“That girl is very irritable lately.” Andre said: “You better not mess with her, adventurers, I hope you can bring some good news to Lie Xing, but don’t be too ostentatious.”

“Who?!” Another person’s voice said beside Andre.

Andre’s voice said, “Adventurers from King’s Wharf.”

“Oh?” The man said, “I will take a look at the Adventurer’s Manual.”

Opal thought that even the space station was occupied by the empire’s factions, and there were a lot of fighter jets around, and the blockade was quite tight.

“What does Liexing do?” the man asked.

Opal said: “Following the order of Queen Inni, come over and ask about her teacher, Ms. Lefina.”

That person said: “Welcome to Liexing, the current situation is not very friendly, if you need help, please contact the Imperial Embassy in Liexing.”

Opal said politely: “Thank you.”

The thirty-two magnetic lock was lifted, Phoenix passed through the clouds, and another thunderstorm came. Thousands of lightning rods protruded from the ground. Phoenix landed on the tarmac. Opal began to feel that driving the ancient gods through the interstellar might not be a good idea. After all, most interstellar tarmacs have monitoring devices, and it is too eye-catching to turn a large spaceship into a ring directly under the eyes of the monitor.

As soon as I got off the spaceship, mercenaries came forward and yelled.

“Where did it come from?!”

“Change the money?! We only need 1 to 149 here!”

“Wipe the spaceship?”

“Where are you from?! Show me your ID card! Otherwise you will be attacked by the locals!”

“Is it from the empire? Look at your spaceship like…”

“He’s a mercenary! He’s obviously wearing our clothes! Get away! Empire dog! Don’t pull people here!”

“Hi! Are you in the group? To be honest, it’s not easy to have a meal now…”

Opal was so dizzy by the quarrel that he said loudly: “Go away! I’m a mercenary! I’m a mercenary! A local!”

“This is your hometown?” Reckett said.

“It’s half hometown.” Opal said: “As for what Raymond thinks…I don’t know. He doesn’t seem to have a strong sense of belonging to Liexing, but we met here, and it was our first love. …God, how could Liexing become like this?”

People are everywhere on the tarmac, and many alien visitors are arguing with locals.

“Go and change money first.” Opal said: “The coefficient of gravity is a bit big, it is easy to fracture, teacher, you pay attention to safety.”

Reckett smiled: “Thank you for your reminder, Opal, otherwise the old bones of the teacher will be overwhelming.”

Opal smiled and took Rekert to IRC to exchange money. No matter the wars and the wind and rain in the universe, IRC will always stand tall. It is also a safe island on all planets. The bank lobby is full of angry accusing foreigners. Liexing’s situation is indeed very unstable.

“Change some Lie Star Coins.” Opal said.

“Ah, it’s really rare.” The Glock star clerk said: “Everyone is changing credit points, and there are still people changing Lie Star Coins…”

“Hey, let me say!” A mercenary said: “Sir! It’s not a good deal for you to go to the window to change money! Why don’t you change it with us, one to one hundred and fifty-two for you…”

Opal turned around and said: “Thanks, no need.”

The mercenary said angrily: “We are not making black money! It is not easy for everyone to stutter!”

Opal frantically said: “I know! I didn’t say that! Don’t push people! All line up! He has no money! Hey, I warn you, don’t pull and pull my teacher…”

Opal went to push the mercenary holding Reckett away, warned him, and returned and continued to line up. Behind him, there was a steady stream of people selling to Rekert, saying: “Are you here to play? Do you not stay in a hotel? I promise absolute safety…”

The purpose of Opal is not just to exchange money. He gave out his ID card, and the clerk said: “One credit point is exchanged for one hundred and ten Lie Star Coins, optimistic, today’s exchange rate…”

Opal said: “It’s okay, for 5,000 credits, can you tell me how things are going?”

“IRC is considering withdrawing the branch.” The clerk said: “The new mercenary king obviously can’t pick the leader…Of course he may also be unlucky. This is true. Everyone needs luck, and everything needs luck… Luck. It’s the truth in the universe! Press your fingerprints, sir.”

Opal pressed his fingerprint and asked, “Is Xun back?”

“Ah-the leader of the bloody army, it is said that he will be the next new king.” The clerk said: “I came back half a month ago. Look, there are people from the bloody army outside. The Empire controlled the capital and shut down. Ping, the Bloody Army controlled five big cities…”

“Thanks.” Opal took back his ID card, transferred 200,000 Lie Star Coins to Reckett, and said: “Just laughed.”

Reckett said: “It’s no different from the last time.”

Opal was dumbfounded: “The last time it was at war…”

Reckett said: “I mean the last time I came to Lie Xing officially, four thousand years ago, when Azeroth was not in power.”

Opal was a little curious, connected to the communicator on his wrist and called Raymond.

“How was the last time?”

Reckett said: “Before the last battle of the Dark Age, there was a mixture of stars, dragons and snakes, just like you see.”

Just after receiving Raymond’s communication, Opal saw a group of mercenaries bullying a half-year-old boy. Many people were alarmed on the tarmac.

“Don’t do it!” Opal said loudly.

Where’s the police? There was also no police to maintain order. A young man was strangled by a tall man and pushed him directly against the wall, making a muffled noise.

Opal rushed forward and shouted: “You will kill him!”

He pulled the man away and received a punch in the head. Someone threatened, “Don’t be nosy!”

Opalsha was angry. He pressed the man’s neck with his bare hands, hit the wall, and shouted: “Is it interesting to fight like this?! Bullying the child! Let you try it too!”

“Opal! Don’t be impulsive!” Reckett entered the crowd, released the power of faith among the crowded mercenaries, and pushed the people directly out. The sirens sounded and the surroundings in the tarmac fell into chaos. As soon as Opal started, more and more people joined the battle group. Those who carried boxes, were selling hotels, and all the mercenaries joined the battle group. The two sides had a skirmish. It continued to escalate, and then evolved into a gang fight of nearly a thousand people in the entire apron.

The sirens sounded one after another, hundreds of security planes approached, and all shops on the apron closed.

Opal guarded the boy and staggered back, and the two men and horses were temporarily separated. Reckett stood in front of the others and said, “If you have something to say, please.”

“The fight is over.” A mercenary ridiculed: “I just said this now.”

“What’s the meaning of cannibalism between compatriots?!” Reckett’s voice exploded like a muffled thunder.

All the mercenaries fell silent.

“Is the imperial dog a compatriot?” a mercenary said: “Are you asking the opposite?”

I didn’t have time to take a closer look, but now I finally have time to tell. After living with Opal for so long, I can tell at a glance that the boy he rescued was a local mercenary, and the one who took the lead in beating was from the empire. Mercenary faction.

The other side roared: “Say what! There is a kind of say again!”

The two sides were about to fight again. Under the surveillance of the security flight, a security officer came and said, “Who? Show your ID card. Are there members of the rebels here?”

“No, Chief.” The mercenary Pi Liyangqiu behind Opal said: “We are all good people, but we can’t understand him to bully this kid.”

“What’s your name?” the security officer asked the boy.

“Saning,” the boy said.

“Why hit him?” The security officer said to the perpetrator.

“I’ll bring him to Liexing.” A strong man among the mercenaries sent by the Empire said: “Three thousand credits for the travel expenses, so I was reluctant to pay…”

“I just don’t have money right now!” Shaning said loudly, “I will definitely give it to you if I receive a commission and can make money.”

The security officer said: “Privately, coordinate by yourself. Don’t fight anymore, what about you? What’s your identity? Take the card out to see.”

Opal glanced at Reckett. He didn’t dare to show his identity card, otherwise he would be besieged by mercenaries immediately after being a Star of Iszul.

“I’m an adventurer.” Opal said: “I’m from the China Aerospace Association.”

All the mercenaries behind him were in an uproar, sneered and ridiculed.

Reckett said: “I am also an adventurer, from the Grey City of the Republic.”

The two handed over the adventurer’s manual for the security officers to check. The imperial mercenary who caused the accident seemed a little surprised and said: “Misunderstanding, from King’s Wharf? Come on, take you to the store, what’s the commission?”

“No.” Opal put away his diary, staring at the mercenary who was obviously an imperial soldier, and said: “I still have something to do, there will be some time later.”

The man smiled, seeming to laugh at him for some reason. The local mercenaries were scattered, and the rest were whispering. Someone said, “Is it the few adventurers mentioned by Xun?”

“Maybe it is.” One person said: “It is estimated to be here to help him.”

“Follow me, Shanin.” Reckett said, putting him on the young man’s shoulders, putting him within their protection, and leaving the tarmac.

Opal contacted Lei Meng, and the three arrived at Sunshine City. Opal first took Shanin into the alley and into the hotel. The rainstorm and thunderstorm poured down all over the world.

The boss was still watching TV behind the counter, and said lazily: “The price has increased. Eight thousand Lie Star Coins a night.”

Opal: “…”

“Let me come.” Reckett swiped the card for the boy and asked Opal: “Let him stay for a few days?”

Opal thought for a while, and said: “The union will open in two days, so let’s book him for three days first.”

Shaning said, “Thank you, how can I return the money to you in the future?”

“Don’t mention the money in advance, you are staying here.” Opal said to Shaning: “I will go to the Sunshine City Trade Union on Monday. There is a recruit registration office on the third floor. Go there…”

The boss interrupted Opal and said, “The recruit training has been changed to the battle spirit.”

Opal said: “Then go to the City of Souls of War, the union headquarters, and find the Green Mercury. There are discounts for recruits to join the army…”

The boss glanced at Opal and said, “Now there are no discounts for recruits. There are too many people from the Empire.”

“Really?” Opal didn’t expect that Lie Xing would have changed so much in four years, and asked: “How much does the training course cost?”

The boss said: “Hundreds of thousands, three hundred thousand, five hundred thousand? Now the recruit class is to find a few low-level mercenaries to teach casually, and you can pay for it…”

Opal said: “Then go and learn, come.”

Opal transferred 200,000 Lie Star Coins to Shaning. Shaning was rather flattered and said, “Did we…know?”

Opal said: “No, the mercenaries… are a big family.”

Shanin couldn’t believe it, and said, “Thank you, I don’t know what your name is, there hasn’t been such a good person for a long time.”

Opal said: “Yes, you can find a mercenary…”

The boss said lazily, “Not anymore, you used to be a stellar?”

Opal was silent for a moment and said, “Yes, I wish you… a long life. Work hard, Shaning.”

Shanin exchanged communication numbers with Opal, and Opal watched him go upstairs, as if he had seen himself a long, long time ago. Then, he touched his head with a hand.

“Hey!” Opal smiled. He turned to hug Raymond and hugged him tightly.

Raymond said: “What are you doing here?”

Opal said: “Give a recruit…show the way. Let’s go.”

Reckett said: “You guys have a chat, I’ll go have a cup of coffee first.”

Raymond smiled and said, “Don’t be like this, teacher, I know you don’t mind being a light bulb.”

Reckett waved his hand with a smile, and ran across the alley in the rain to drink coffee in the restaurant opposite.

Opal and Raymond held hands and stood under the eaves. Raymond said, “What’s the matter? What do you want to say?”

Opal glanced at him, and pulled out the cigarette from his jacket pocket sideways and let him hold it in his mouth. Raymond moved his eyebrows, took a few mouthfuls, and looked at Opal in confusion.

“You are a bit abnormal,” Raymond muttered vaguely.

Opal draped his neck and made him bow slightly. Raymond thought that Opal had something to say in his ear, so he bowed his head obediently, but Opal kissed his face and his tongue touched Raymond’s ears.

Raymond’s face turned red, as if he was back to the time when the two first fell in love. He stared at Opal intently, his eyes reminding Opal of when he was a broken clone on the spaceship.

“It’s raining.” Raymond said, “Otherwise, I can take you around…I mean…but it’s almost destroyed here too, um. Things are expensive.”

Raymond was a little incoherent. Opal burst into laughter. Raymond poked Opal’s head with his finger and said: “You are abnormal, Opal, what happened when you and the teacher went to execute the commission?”

“Do you still suspect that I have a leg with the teacher?” Opal could not laugh or cry.

“No, no.” Raymond was frightened by this rhetorical question, Opal smiled helplessly and led him back to the Cuckoo Restaurant.

Raymond was always a little skeptical and kept looking at the Opal, while Reckett was wearing a rainbow film and sitting at the table watching the news.

Opal looked at Raymond quietly, as if only by looking at him could he know that he was real and belonged to him.

“The news is blocked.” Reckett asked a little strangely: “What are you two doing?”

Raymond said: “Opal behaves a bit abnormally, you have been radiated?”

Opal: “…”

Reckett smiled: “He just missed you. Tell me about it, Raymond, your findings here.”

Raymond took out the adventurer’s diary. Opal asked Xiao Q to come over and watch the news. After E7 and Xiao Q met again, the two robots became restless again. Xiao Q moved like a child with ADHD, even with news. Stop shaking.

“You give me peace of mind.” Opal fixed the small Q and watched the news above.

Not mentioning the turmoil of the bloody army, most of the content is about the cooperation and welfare between the empire and Liexing. Regardless of the silent city outside, it seems that Liexing is in the most glorious period of prosperity in history.

“The spanner is using the strength of the empire’s army to check the whereabouts of the bloodbath.” Raymond said: “Led by Xun, several key mercenary members continued to fight guerrilla warfare for three months, with the purpose of occupying five ground cities and approaching In the battle spirit main city, kill the empire to send mercenaries. In the past few days, all of them have suddenly become quiet.”

Opal said: “What should they be waiting for.”

Raymond said: “What do you think they are waiting for? Kyle Rey’s return?”

Opal shook his head, even he himself couldn’t tell. After thinking for a long time, he said: “It won’t be Kyle Lei, Xun will inherit the position of the mercenary king. After Kyle Lei returns, how will the two kings be divided? I guess Xun may be waiting for the commission of the mercenary king. With the commission, he can take over the whole star…”

Recht: “Someone noticed us, Opal.”

Opal glanced sideways, one of the mercenaries in the dining room leaning on the floor-to-ceiling windows got up and left, while the other mercenary was still eating lunch.

Opal: “Do you want to deal with him?”

Reckett: “No need, go on, I just remind you.”

Opal is not afraid of any troubles at all, and there is no sense of secrecy when conspiring. After all, their current strength has reached a certain level. Looking at the entire universe, it is impossible for anyone to move any of their adventure brigade. Many things can be spoken uprightly.

Opal said, “So try to protect the wrench? How about knocking him out, taking him away, and letting Xun take over the throne?”

Raymond said: “How is your purpose completely contrary to mine? I plan to lock Xun until the wrench has resolved everything, and when Lie Xing resumes its operation, I will re-arrange the layout of the wrench. How can you knock people out with one stick? Take it away again? Too violent.”

Opal said: “I think this is unrealistic. The contradiction between Wrench and Xun belongs to Liexing’s internal affairs. He has reason and evidence. He follows the Constitution and replaces Wrench with the support of S-level mercenaries and A-level heads. Can you? Will the mercenary king be forcibly stopped from changing terms?”

Raymond said: “You have to know, Opal, the empire’s military fortress Saintess is in the God of War galaxy. Once the wrench is impeached and resigned, it will be another war. Do these people still need their lives? Think about it. The consequences of the mercenary king, the empire will not let go. Once the civil war is over, aggression will follow. I even doubt whether this civil war will end.”

Opal said: “But I think even if Xun is arrested by you, other mercenaries will definitely come and die. They cannot accept the imperial rule. The wrench will either imprison Xun or ban them. After leaving the star, they They will come back, either assassination or sabotage, body bombs, kidnapping… these problems will not be resolved.”

Raymond said: “Seeing the situation clearly, the empire’s military strength cannot be matched. Unless you ask Cororin for help, I’m afraid that even Caesars and their aircraft carriers are not opponents of the military fortress. When the throne sits hot, the empire will take action immediately, and only everyone will die together. The bloody army still cannot win.”

Opal said: “Then there is only war. Whether to die in battle or to compromise is left to the people of Liexing to choose for themselves, just like when the Liexing guards battle, mercenaries live for war and die for war. .”

Raymond said: “This time there is no other wrench to cast the virus. Xun is not Azeroth, and Rotman is not Kolorin. If he removes the factions buried by the empire and then directly bombards the stars, you What to do?”

Opal stopped talking.

Raymond said to Reckett: “Teacher, what do you think?”

“My wife, don’t use the teacher as a shield.” Opal said: “He has no obligation to take care of Liexing. He doesn’t even know who the wrench and Xun are. He is just here to arrest people.”

Opal was a little afraid that if the two of them could not solve this problem, if Reckett participated in the war for them and took the initiative to drive the dragon rays to contain the military fortresses of the empire, it would be too dangerous.

Reckett tapped his fingers on the desktop rhythmically, and after a moment he said to the distance: “Friend, you have heard enough, what do you want to say now?”

The mercenary with his back to them knew that he had been found, so he had to walk over and whispered: “Three, it’s convenient to talk now?”

Opal noticed his emblem and was immediately stunned.

For a while, the eyes of Opal and Raymond stayed on his emblem, unable to move their eyes for a while.

“Do you know our mercenary group?” The mercenary said vigilantly, and bowed a salute: “I wish you a long life, my name is Asa.”

Opal asked: “Where is Karens?”

Asa said: “Do you know the deputy head? He has been back to the Republic for a while.”

Raymond said: “Smoke and Sword Mercenary Corps, a very good name.”

Opal said: “So so, compared to the Star Knight Adventure Brigade…”

Raymond’s forehead burst with blue veins, Opal laughed, and touched his head as a sign of comfort.

Asa sat down and said, “If the two have friendship with the deputy head, everything is easy, Opal, Sid heard that you are here today. Let me come and ask for your assistance.”
