The Star Knight

Rector said: "Get out of here!!"

Raymond fired a cannon, destroying the mechs that had rushed into the atrium of the palace, triggering a series of explosions. Women shouted and pirates shouted endlessly.

Opal said: "Raymond! This way!"

Raymond put away his weapon, put Rector's arm on his shoulder, and ran towards Opal.Recter was not injured, but looked quite tired, as if he had reached his limit with the power of faith.

Xun also came and shouted: "Yinlong! What's going on! Where's the pass?!"

Little Q came quickly and hid behind E7.

The three parties met in the atrium, and the scene was once indescribably chaotic.

"Teacher? Are you okay?" Opal asked.

Rector waved his hand, at this time the mechas outside chased after him, and Raymond said, "Get out of here first!"

"Natasha!" Rector roared.

Natasha came back to her senses and said in a hoarse voice, "Rector, long time no see."

Rector said: "Let's think of a way to solve the problem first!"

Natasha turned the fork gun in her hand and pressed a button. The buzzing sound resounded throughout the palace hall, and alarms were everywhere. The robots in Quicksand City gathered towards the center of the palace, and the space station on the zenith turned and gathered Light energy emits extremely fine lasers, which fall like countless dense raindrops in the dark night, and every time they hit a machine, they emit a big explosion full of flames and loud noises.

Rector led everyone into the palace garden, and Raymond said, "You have to leave here immediately."

"No." Natasha said: "You don't need to leave, the pirates will be expelled soon, let me see, who are you?"

"Natasha, time does not allow us to explain." Rector said in a deep voice.

Snake walked around Raymond, looking at him from head to toe.

Opal said: "Hey, you'd better not think of him."

Natasha withdrew her eyes in doubt, and turned her head to look into the distance.

Rector said: "There is also the Imperial Army. This part cannot be solved no matter what. Three large battleships are on the outskirts of the planet. You can only retreat with us, Natasha."

She shook her head and said, "Let's go, Rector, thank you for your kindness, I will stay and live and die with the Sphinx."

Battles broke out outside the palace, and the sky in the distance was pale. Rector said: "Go, listen to me, Natasha, only by saving your life can there be hope for the future."

Natasha said: "Don't persuade me anymore, Rector, thank you for saving me again, but this time there is no Corolin, I think everything that happened 2000 years ago will end again today, is this your disciple? What about him? Who is he? He has such a similar aura, but he is not the same person."

Opal didn't know how to explain it, but Rector said: "Yes, this is my little apprentice Opal, his name is Raymond..."

Rector and Natasha were relatively silent for a moment, as if they were using a way of communicating consciousness so that the mercenaries could not hear them. In the end, Natasha gave Raymond a complicated look, and then turned her head away.

"I wish you all safe." Natasha said, "Goodbye, Rector."

The lifting board in the garden opened, and a small combat spaceship rose to the center of the garden.

Rector said: "Natasha..."

Natasha said: "Recter, I ask you one thing."

Several people quietly listened to Rector and Natasha's conversation.

"Help me find out the mastermind of this series of events." Natasha whispered: "After today, the Sphinx has just changed a king. This planet is still alive, and Natasha's existence is insignificant. Goodbye, Knight Commander of the Stars."

Rector sighed deeply, and saluted the Star Knight to Queen Sphinx.

Natasha opened her arms, bent slightly, touched the ground with her long fork, then turned away without looking at them.

"Daughters of the Sphinx—!" Natasha's voice echoed in the dawn sky: "It's time to take up arms and fight—!"

Tens of thousands of small fighter jets flew out from the desert planet, rushing into the sky, and the gray-blue sky that was approaching dawn was dyed red by the raging fire.

"Get on board." Rector said, "Everyone get out of here immediately!"

Lei Meng looked at Natasha's back and asked, "Teacher, don't you take her away?"

Rector shook his head and said, "She has her own persistence."

The spaceship lifts off the ground and runs away from the Sphinx under artillery fire. The zenith is the destroying imperial battleship. They release countless small spaceships to land on the ground, and strafing the fighter jets of the Pirate Legion along the surface, another wave of ashes The blue fighter plane joined the battle group and cooperated with the pirate army. The Sphinx became a huge battlefield for three-way battles. Looking down from the sky, the desert and oasis were full of explosions and flames.

Natasha stayed on the platform on the third floor of the palace, looking up at the sky.

The fluttering wind blows Mars towards it, and something from the other side of the sky is approaching at high speed.

A black mecha opened six sharp wings and led nearly ten thousand fighter jets to join the battle group. The muzzle of the long gun dragged the concentrated compressed light of the black hole, and fired the first shot at the warship of the empire!

That shot was earth-shattering and overturned the entire desert. A sandstorm rolled up on the surface of the Sphinx, followed by explosions one after another. Meteor Corps' mechs rushed to the ground and flew towards the palace from all directions.

The baffle was slowly opened on the top of the palace, and the snake-shaped mecha rose in the sunlight. Natasha stood on the top of the snake's head and said sharply, "Sphinx doesn't need your mercy! You ungrateful bastard!"

Cologne's voice said with a smile in the communication: "I just came to catch an old man and borrow your house to fight, Natasha. After the fight, I will pay you for the decoration fee."

Natasha jumped onto the mech, and Tao's wings transformed into countless black steel feathers covering the whole earth. The two warring parties retreated respectively, and the pirate warship came to meet them, but was defeated by Cororin in the air.

"Your Excellency Sauron!" Cologne said, "I've offended you! Let's fight!"

at the same time.

The spacecraft returned to King's Wharf, and when it entered the tarmac, a huge billboard hanging high above was broadcasting news.

The picture shows the battle situation of the Sphinx. Tens of thousands of adventurers didn't care about going out, and all stayed on the tarmac to watch the news.

"The Imperial Army tracked down the incident of the Shepherd's Day kidnapping, and pointed out that the pirates were the accomplices of the mercenary criminals. The national security forces were sent from the Falcon Star to investigate the passageways of the star alliance's various starlight gates, and found that Sean Viktor's ship left Leo After the star system, go to the Sphinx and seek political asylum..."

"The female lord of the Sphinx refused to accept the empire's peaceful extradition request, and an armed conflict broke out with the pirates locally..."

"The Cororin Legion joined as a third-party force, destroying the entire planet in flames of war..."

Yin Jian noticed that Rector did not talk to the mercenaries, and was shopping in the store on the tarmac by himself, and said, "Who is that buddy?"

"Me and Opal's teacher." Raymond said.

"What are you going to do in the future?" Opal said, "It's best to put that child back. After such a toss, the Great Astronautical Association and Lie Xing can no longer form an alliance."

"Let's talk about it." Xun said angrily: "I didn't agree with this proposal at the beginning, it was Xi De..."

Sid said: "What about you? What can you do? Everyone is just guarding the mother planet in their own way. I don't care what others say about me! I don't care about my life! As long as the wrench can't sell the whole planet to Empire! Haven’t enough mercenaries died in the past few years? Our lives are not our lives?!”

Xun said loudly: "You are trading with pirates! You don't know who the pirates are..."

"Don't say it here!" Raymond said immediately.

Yin Jian said: "Okay, stop arguing..."

Yindang separated Xun and Sid, and when the shipping ship arrived at the landing pad, Yindang said, "We have to go."

The three of them got on the boat, walking quickly at the end, suddenly turned to Opal and said, "Can I ask a question? We are neither relatives nor relatives, and we didn't know each other before. Why did you... come to save us?"

Raymond twitched his eyebrows, and looked at Opal with a questioning expression.

Opal said: "On behalf of the adventurers...uh, I sincerely hope to form an alliance with the mercenary brothers."

fast:"……"

Raymond: "This excuse is too fake."

Opal couldn't explain it at all, so he had to say to Xun: "So you see that there are good people in the adventurer family. Goodbye, I wish you a long life."

Opal and Lei Meng performed a mercenary salute together, before turning around to leave, they quickly said, "Wait!"

"If you have any difficulties in the future." Xun said: "My brother and I are willing to give our lives to help you, just ask me. I wish you a long life."

He saluted quickly, boarded the boat and left.

After the news on the tarmac was played, it switched to the annual report of Prime Minister Decaspiel. Raymond and Opal went to the store to find Rector. They drank coffee in the lounge outside the IRC, and the hall was still playing Sfin War on Alex.

The battle situation has been settled. The Meteor Corps has taken over the planetary defense of the Sphinx and established the Dark Alliance star space gate node. Prime Minister Decaspiel called this a "provocation to the empire".

Opal said: "Actually, this has nothing to do with the Sphinx."

Rector said: "This is just the news of the Empire. If it is replaced by the news of the Republic, it is: the Empire is hunting down pirates, and a conflict broke out in the Sphinx. enemy……"

Raymond laughed and said, "But in the end, it was Corolin's legion that joined the battle group and took over the Sphinx..."

"So, as the common enemy of both sides, he still has to be blamed in the end." Opal joked.

Both of them laughed, Rector smiled helplessly.

"What do the mercenaries say?" Rector said.

Opal shrugged, and Raymond replied: "Maybe they will have differences of opinion when they go back."

Rector nodded slowly and remained silent. At this moment, Raymond received a communication and immediately said: "Okay, thank you very much, yes, if it is convenient, park it at 170 in the 11701th venue of [-] We're going to take over now."

Opal asked, "What's wrong?"

Raymond said: "Natasha found Era VI!"

The three of them went to the designated place on the apron, where a woman was going through the handover procedures. Era VI had been dug out and repaired. She asked Raymond to sign for it. Rector said: "How is the situation on your planet?"

Many adventurers around noticed the dark-skinned woman, and she replied: "The current situation is still unclear, and the Sphinx may not necessarily join the Dark Alliance, but the relationship with the Empire is at its most tense. Gotta leave Kings Wharf early."

Raymond signed for the spaceship, and Opal said, "Take your queen's spaceship back."

"She said she gave it to you." The woman said, "Thank you for helping her. See you again."

Opal got a spaceship for no reason, and it was the queen's small battleship. Immediately, everyone was dumbfounded. Logically, it should be able to sell for a high price. However, Natasha's spaceship is also second-hand. The facilities are very good, but after conversion, they can only be sold for 70 credits.

After discussing with Raymond for a while, he decided to properly refit the Era VI and the small Sphinx ship, and sell the remaining materials to other adventurers.

Raymond handed over the commission of the Falcon Star in front of the self-service terminal, while Opal drank on the sofa and flipped through his own adventurer's handbook. This hidden mission has just begun, and there is still a long way to go.

Rector looked around and said, "This is the first time I've come to the rebuilt Great Astronautics Association. The sculpture of Horius is gone? No wonder you don't know him."

Opal asked: "Teacher, what are your plans in the future? Go back and continue playing atomic billiards?"

Rector said: "No, I don't really want to compete recently. I decided to stay at King's Wharf and be an adventurer for a while, using the intelligence network here to check things out."

Opal: "..."

Raymond: "..."

Raymond said: "Teacher, are you willing to be with us...I mean, Opal? What did he say? Did you hear clearly?"

Opal said: "Great! I heard it! Let's form a group."

Raymond said: "You can't form a group, you forgot? But we can go together with the entrustment of the neighboring planet..."

Opal said: "Yes! Look at the terms and conditions released after the Musheng Festival. I guess this brigade system was proposed to integrate with Lie Xing."

Rector: "Wait, Opal, Raymond, the teacher just said that he wants to stay here for a while..."

Opal didn't care what Rector said, and showed the news to Raymond, which read: "Adventurer Brigade Trial System".

"Trial system!" Opal said: "The three of us form a group, and then entrusted to apply for sharing. This system has a shortcoming. The brigade leader has the final say on how much to pay members, and there is no such thing as a mercenary group." Arbitration mechanism, but this is obviously not a problem for us..."

Rector said: "No, Opal, I didn't mean that..."

"Great!" Raymond completely ignored Rector.

"That's it!" Opal said, "I'll take the teacher to handle the terms of membership."

Rector said: "I haven't made a statement yet! You are all young people, and I am an old man, so I can't..."

Raymond said: "I'll prepare the brigade application form."

Rector said: "I can't hold you back."

Raymond said: "What kind of talk is this!"

Opal said: "That's right! With the teacher here, we almost don't have to work! Great!"

Rector: "..."

With a powerful comrade-in-arms added, Opal was really elated, pushing and arching against Recter and ran away.
