The Star Knight - 140. Chapter One Hundred and Forty
Xun returned as expected, and the last S-class mercenary signature he lacked had not yet been obtained. But Haitang promised him that he would return to Liexing during this time and assist Xun to fight together so that he can sit on the throne.
Lily will also come back, everyone will come back, overthrow the rule of the wrench, and expel the empire from the mercenary territory. During this period of time, the wrench has increased its search efforts. However, the guerrilla strategy of mercenaries is better than that of the wrench. Unlike some cities in the Republic and Empire, which have citywide surveillance, almost all mercenaries here are using it. The most primitive method of message transmission-secret talk, the spies of the empire faction can’t get in, and the mercenaries don’t use the planetary Internet to transmit messages, so they can’t do anything about it.
The politics promoted by Azeroth caused the whole situation of unorganized and undisciplined stars. The status of S-level mercenaries is not much higher than that of recruits. High-level mercenaries cannot directly issue orders to low-level mercenaries. They use regiments as units and only follow. Command of the head. This is a thought that has been gradually accumulated over thousands of years. It is deeply rooted and cannot be changed.
They only believe in what they believe, and refuse to obey anyone’s orders. They are unwilling to accept any explanation from Wrench. Every time Wrench gives a speech, the mercenaries only treat him as if he is talking wittyly, appeasement and tenderness, in order to sell Lie Xing. empire.
“Everyone will come back.” Asa said: “Xun is waiting. He asked me to pick you up. Now only few people know where he is. This is the greatest trust they can show for you.”
Opal glanced at Lei Meng, Lei Meng said: “Do you have a resident?”
Asa said, “Yes, what’s the matter?”
Raymond asked: “How many other members are there?”
Asa said: “Uncle Martin and I have been vacant as the head of the regiment. Karens has been the deputy head of the regiment for a period of time. He has returned to the Republic and said that he will come back some time. The position of the deputy head of the regiment during this period. It will be replaced by Uncle Martin.”
“Is there a station?” Opal asked, “There should be a spaceship too, right?”
“Yes.” Asa said, “but it’s hidden underground, it’s…”
Raymond said: “Imperial spacecraft.”
Asa said: “Yes, age VI.”
Opal said: “Let’s let go of the war and take us to see it.”
Reckett said: “Opal, I won’t go. The teacher wants to see Refina. It’s not as well known as meeting. Maybe she can provide advice on many things.”
Opal nodded and said, “Where shall we meet?”
Reckett said: “I will take the initiative to contact you, and I don’t want to reveal my identity, you know.”
Opal knew that Reckett did not want to show up in front of Xun and Sid. After all, the person he was waiting for was Kyle Lei, and he did not want to intervene in Liexing’s internal affairs. If Reckett is known by too many people here, then Kai Er Lei’s re-emergence is difficult to maintain.
Reckett bid farewell to the two and left the restaurant to go to the City of Souls of War. He also has the status of an adventurer. Entering the sphere of influence of the Empire will not be too embarrassed. Opal and Raymond get in Asa’s car and leave Sunlight City. .
The suspended vehicle drove towards the lightning rod in the heavy rain and sank into the forest area outside the city of Sunlight. Opal said, “Go to the mirror of the aurora?”
Asa said: “Yes, the headquarters of the Bloody Army, you are the guests of Liexing, and I really trust the two of Xun to take you to the headquarters.”
Neither Raymond nor Opal made a sound. Asa asked again: “I heard that you rescued Xun and Yinlan on the Sphinx?”
Raymond didn’t answer, but instead asked: “Where is the kidnapped child?”
Asa said: “That kid is the cousin of Douglas, the chairman of the Aerospace Association, and the nephew of the head of the Reich in the Aerospace Association. Now…it is said to be chaotic.”
Raymond said: “By the wrench?”
Opal frowned: “Has been found by the wrench?! Why don’t you say?”
Raymond said: “You never gave me a chance to speak.”
Opal let out a sigh of relief. The matter has not yet reached the point where it cannot be resolved. He then asked, “Where is Yinrong?”
Asa’s expression was a little hesitant, and then he said, “I don’t know the situation of Yinlan, you can ask Sid… here it is, this is it.”
The levitating car drove into the mirror of the aurora. The valleys of the mountains were filled with gullies corroded by weathered gravel and glaciers. The lightning flashes like a horned dragon tumbling on the zenith, and the rainstorm merges into waterfalls, roaring and venting from the cliffs. Rushing through the Grand Canyon, rushing to the alluvial plains downstream, rushing out of the sky and the earth under the sudden drop of terrain, surrounded the Turbulent Fort for a thousand miles, and finally merged into the Muise Lake.
The Mirror of Aurora spans nearly 10,000 kilometers, like a huge scar on a scorching star. The valley is surrounded by canyons, the mountains are piled with mountains, and the natural labyrinth formed by the fractured surface of the rock is intricate. It is indeed the best place for mercenaries to hide. Asa turned on the underwater mode, the hovering vehicle entered the water, descended at the bottom of the roaring river, entered an inconspicuous cave, and then passed through the underground Hanoi, shuttled through the dark underground space. I don’t know how long it has traveled, when the first light appeared. , The front checkpoint said: “Who? Show the diary of the mercenary.”
Asa handed out the diary of the mercenary and said, “The two guests Sid is looking for, here are the passes.”
The guard looked down at Opal and Raymond and said, “Hello, please come in.”
When the hovering vehicle passed the level, Opal also heard the guard say to his companion: “How do you feel like a stellar? Are adventurers in this costume too?”
Raymond smiled helplessly, and Asa smiled: “You are very similar to Lie Xing’s comrades, first go to the central cave or…”
“Let’s go home and have a look.” Opal said.
Asa was a little strange to this name, but he took them to the underground apron. There were thousands of spaceships lined up in the apron. Many mercenaries were under maintenance, and new artillery was installed on each spaceship.
Asa got out of the car and greeted the mercenaries, saying, “Hey here…Hi! Opal!”
Opal ran to Times VI in the corner and pressed his fingerprint beside the spaceship. Raymond said, “Wait for me!”
Time VI slowly opened the rear hatch under the gaze of many mercenaries. Opal boarded the ship, and a mercenary said to Asa: “Who are they? How can you pass the fingerprint verification lock of your spacecraft?”
E7 and Xiao Q followed Raymond onto the spaceship, and Opal fell onto the sofa when they got up, shocking the other man in the spaceship.
“Who are you?” the man said.
Raymond said: “Give me the diary of the mercenary. Now all the permissions of the mercenary group are officially opened to you.”
E7 followed the console and introduced Xiao Q to the flowers it had planted before. Asa jumped up with the hatch, staring at them blankly.
Opal glanced at the man. The man had brown curly hair, dark blue eyes, high-brow brows and sharp chiseled, with a little beard, and he looked mature and vicissitudes of life.
After traveling in the universe for so many years, when I returned to the country of mercenaries, I found that the man on the fiery star was indeed not blowing, and the people I saw after coming back were very handsome.
Any guard, an ordinary mercenary, has a different temperament and demeanor from the man he meets outside. It was honed on the edge of life and death, and the indifferent, resolute and fearless momentum precipitated after the experience. Optimistic, open-minded but persistent, as if the sky fell and it was no big deal.
“This is Uncle Martin.” Asa introduced the middle-aged man and said, “Uncle, they are Raymond and Opal. They are adventurers… God, Raymond, what are you doing?”
Raymond sat on the swivel chair in front of the console, turned on the star map, unlocked a series of passwords, the environmental analysis machine, the star map writing function, the escape cabin activation password… Raymond said: “Opal, you didn’t have it when you left. Give Karens all the permissions on?”
Opal said: “He said that some of his functions are not available, and some of them are locked by himself. Hey! You two sloppy ghosts, can’t you just clean up this kennel?”
Martin said: “You are also… from the mercenary group?”
Raymond said: “I am the head of the group who has been missing for a long time.”
Opal got up and went to the refrigerator to get a drink. There was only Liexing’s ale, and said helplessly: “It seems that you are really poor…”
Asa said: “Great! Leader! Do you plan to return to the group and lead us?”
There were a lot of mercenaries watching outside the cabin door, one person said: “Asa, are they your team members?”
“I don’t know what’s going on!” Asa said, “Brother Callens didn’t tell me, Uncle, did he tell you?”
Martin said, “No, why are you adventurers again?”
Opal said regretfully: “Don’t ask, comrades-in-arms, many things in the past didn’t make much sense.”
Martin smiled: “That’s right, just come back.”
Raymond opened all the rights of the mercenary group and said, “Is there a union terminal here?”
Martin said: “Yes, there is an office right after exiting the underground hangar. The union in the Twilight City has moved here. We are independent. After we turned our face with the Star Trade Union, many clerks followed us. Now on the ground. The union system on the Internet was re-sent by Wrench to take over.”
Asa went over, sat on Martin’s lap, and said, “It’s easy to handle when you come back. It turns out that you are all your own.”
Martin freed his hands and held Asa’s waist. The two were a pair of lovers, just like Opal and Raymond were together in the past.
“Should I give them the team permissions?” Raymond said.
Martin said, “Are you coming back?”
Raymond asked to see Opal, and Opal said: “I won’t be back soon, but I have to use the team funds for you…”
Martin immediately said: “No, this can’t work, it’s all your money.”
“When is it all.” Opal said: “Your money is enough? The Depreciation of Lie Star Coin has reached such a point that it is not even enough to buy fuel.”
Martin let out a sigh of relief, and Raymond said, “Let’s go, remember to reserve two places for us, what are you doing? One group.”
As soon as Martin thought about it, being in the same mercenary group carried too many things. Even strangers who had never met before could trust each other and deliver their lives.
Martin jumped off the ship, put on a cross sword, and a shield on his back, and went to hand over team authority with Raymond.
“The weapons he and my teacher use are a bit similar.” The opal probe looked at Martin’s photon shield and said, “How about you?”
Asa showed him a folding energy bow and said, “Mine is a bow, what do you use?”
“Bow? Few people use it.” Opal was a little surprised.
Asa said: “Uncle trained me to use the bow, saying that I am too impetuous, learning this weapon can exercise, contemplation.”
Opal flicked his fingers and showed a great sword of energy. Asa was taken aback and said, “What is this?”
Opal said: “Broad sword, haven’t you seen it?”
Asa said, “I mean where did you change from?”
Opal said: “Oh, a new polymer material called Phoenix.”
Asa said: “Uncle is right, I’m still too ignorant… I still have this kind of thing, doesn’t it violate the law of mass-energy?”
Phoenix’s voice sounded: “No violation, because the material that composes me exists in the ubiquitous extra dimension. It’s a curled dimension.”
“Ah ah ah -” Asa said, “What is it!”
Asa was so frightened that he knocked over the chair and said, “The sword… can the sword speak?”
Opal smiled and said: “It…is an artificial intelligence.”
“My God, can you take a look?” Asa was surprised to touch the gold and red sword, Opal held the hilt and said: “The teacher said that at any time, you can’t take the weapon to another person. Inside, I can only let you touch it.”
Asa nodded in surprise, and said, “Where is Raymond?”
Opal said: “He uses an impact axe.”
Asa said, “Ah, I know that, both long-range and medium-range are fine.”
Opal smiled and said: “Yes.”
Asa said: “After you all come back, our team combat power will be too strong. You and Uncle are suitable for melee shields. Raymond and I provide medium and long-range support. Brother Karenz uses a gun…”
When the two were talking, the conversation outside was louder, and Xun said in a loud voice: “Opal!”
Opal turned his head, and every time Xun appeared in front of him, it was a little different.
He still has a faint back-shaped fibrous root, his hair has been trimmed, the sides are pushed very flat, the short hair on the top of his head is like a rooster, and there are scars on the brow bones.
“Let’s talk about it.” Xun said.
Opal said: “Your look is really a failure.”
Xun gave him a punch and said, “I really took my haircut robot apart, damn it!”
Opal couldn’t laugh or cry, and quickly asked: “Where is Raymond?”
Opal said: “He is handing over with the head of the Yan and Sword Mercenary Corps.”
Xun frowned: “Are you really mercenaries?!”
Opal smiled and said: “Of course, we knew each other in the last life, do you believe it?”
The two were relatively silent for a few seconds, and Xun said, “I also think I must have known you in my previous life, and I still feel very kind.”
Opal opened his arms and the two embraced tightly. Opal sighed, let go of him, and said, “How’s the situation?”
The two talked as they walked, Xun said: “We are about to win, Sister Haitang will come back, and when I return, I will sign the letter of appointment, and I can succeed the mercenary king.”
Opal said: “Have you thought about things after you take over? What should you do? The fortress of the empire is waiting in the God of War galaxy.”
Xun said, “Do you think I’m the kind of person who doesn’t care about the past and the future? I’ve thought about it. No matter how many people die, I have to sit in this position, not for me, but for me. For these brothers who follow me. Otherwise, the nation of mercenaries will die, in the hands of the wrench.”
Opal said: “What about the succession?”
Xun said: “I will issue a new king declaration to all the countries of the Star Alliance, including the dark alliance. The empire will definitely bombard this place with artillery fire. Those who are willing to stay will fight with me until they die. If others leave the star, I will Designate the next mercenary king, and let the new king establish an exile government in the interstellar space and take away all the information of the mercenary union. As long as there are mercenaries, the mercenary kingdom will never perish…”
Opal’s eyes were red, and each other’s eyes were flushed, and they looked at each other silently.
Xun said: “After I get the letter of appointment, I will fight with the wrench, defeat him, and then fight to the end with the military forces of the empire. It is useless for them to destroy the fierce star, and the spirit will always be there.”
Opal murmured: “It’s too tragic, Xun, you can’t do this. And how can you confirm that the next mercenary king will also…”
Xun said: “He will definitely, because he is the son of Lily and Wrench.”
Opal: “…”
Xun said: “He is only four years old, but Lily will tell him everything and the mercenaries will follow him. I think since he is a man, he must be responsible and willing to make up for all his father’s faults, just like I’m like this, isn’t it?”
Opal said: “This can’t work, it’s too…let me think about it.”
Xun said: “Opal, do me a favor.”
Opal blocked Xun’s hand and said, “Wait…”
Xun said: “Listen to me, I know you are not an ordinary person. You saved my life. I heard that you crowned the Pope. You must be no ordinary person. I will entrust Little Nel to you and teach him how you can I know that Liexing’s bond with you is deeper than any other place. I knew it from the time you told me to live a hundred years…”
Opal suddenly remembered something. He said: “Xun, there must be another solution. Stand still and let me see you.”
Xun said: “We don’t have time, and the wrench is about to…”
Opal said: “Concentrate, close your eyes! Right now!”
Xun stopped talking and closed his eyes. Opal put his hands on his shoulders and said, “Remember what I told you on the Sphinx?”
Quickly frowned, Opal said: “Think about that time, when you almost died…”
He felt a faint flame beating in Xun’s spiritual world.
At this moment, Opal made a bold decision and asked: “How much time do we have?”
Xun said: “What?”
“How long will it be before you officially launch the final attack?” Opal asked.
“There is no time.” Sid’s voice sounded beside them, and when Opal turned his head, he found a lot of mercenaries coming.
Nearly a hundred mercenaries stood on the tarmac.
Xun said, “Sid!”
Sid said: “Opal, you are an adventurer, you can sneak into those empires, I beg you one thing, they will soon…”
Quickly rushed over, grabbed Sid by the collar, and said, “Shut up!! Sid! You promised me not to mess around!”
“He can help us! We have enough confidence with him!” Sid pushed Xun away and yelled at him, “You ruthless beast!”
The two sides scuffled together, Opal said: “Don’t do it! Stop!”
The mercenaries retreated, and Raymond ran over and said, “What’s the matter!”
Opal didn’t have time to explain. In fact, even he didn’t know what was wrong. He forcibly separated Sid and Xun with the force of faith, and threw them aside, causing the mercenaries to be in an uproar.
Sid struggled to get up and shouted, “I beg you! Go and save Yinlan! He will be executed in four hours!”
Opal: “…”
Xun yelled at Sid without anyone else: “He was martyred for his faith! He willingly! You are a waste! You are a waste! A sissy! You are not a man! You don’t understand what he thinks! You will make him foolish! Shame! Catch this lunatic! I’m fed up with him—!”
