The Star Knight

As expected, Xun came back, and the signature of the last S-rank mercenary he lacked has not yet been obtained.But Haitang promised him that he would return to Lie Xing during this period of time, and assist Xun to fight together so that he could sit on the throne.

Lily will return too, and all will return, to overthrow Wrench and drive the Imperials from Mercenary territory.During this period of time, the wrench has stepped up its search efforts, but the guerrilla tactics of the mercenaries are more sophisticated than the wrench. Unlike some cities in the Republic and the Empire, Liexing has city-wide surveillance, and almost all mercenaries here use it. The most primitive method of message transmission - secret talks, the spies of the imperial faction can't get in, and the mercenaries don't use the planetary internet to transmit messages, so there is nothing they can do about it.

The politics promoted by Azeroth has caused the entire Liexing to be disorganized and undisciplined. The status of S-level mercenaries is not much higher than that of recruits, and high-level mercenaries cannot directly issue orders to low-level mercenaries. They use regiments as units and only follow Commander's order.This is a thought that has been gradually accumulated over thousands of years, deeply ingrained, and cannot be changed.

They only believe what they believe, and refuse to take orders from anyone, and are unwilling to accept any explanation from the wrench. Every time when the wrench speaks, the mercenaries only think that he is talking softly, appeasement, and the purpose is to sell Lie Xing to empire.

"Everyone will come back." Asa said: "Xun is waiting. He asked me to pick you up. Only a few people know where he is now. This is the greatest trust they can show you."

Opal glanced at Lei Meng, and Lei Meng said, "Do you have a residence?"

Asa said, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Raymond asked, "How many members are there?"

Asa said: "Uncle Martin and I, the position of head of the regiment has been vacant. Karens has been the deputy head of the regiment for a period of time. He has gone back to the Republic and said that he will return for a while. Uncle Martin will take over."

"Is there a station?" Opal asked, "There should be a spaceship, right?"

"Yes." Asa said, "But it's hidden underground. It's a..."

Raymond said, "Imperial ship."

Asa said, "Yes, era VI."

Opal said: "Let's put aside the war first, take us to have a look."

Rector said: "Opal, I won't go. The teacher wants to meet Refina. It's better to meet her than to be famous. Maybe she can provide advice on many things."

Opal nodded and said, "Then where shall we meet?"

Rector said: "I will reach out to you, and I don't want to reveal my identity, you know."

Opal knew that Rector didn't want to show up in front of Xun and Sid. After all, the person he was waiting for was Kyle Ray, and he didn't want to interfere in Lie Xing's internal affairs. It's hard to guard against Alley's reappearance.

Rector bid farewell to the two, and left the restaurant to go to the City of Soul of War. He also has the status of an adventurer, and he will not be too embarrassed to enter the sphere of influence of the Imperial faction. Opal and Raymond took Asa's car and left Sunlight City .

The suspension car drove towards the lightning rod in the heavy rain, and entered the forest area outside Sunlight City. Opal said, "Go to the Mirror of Aurora?"

Asa said: "Yes, the headquarters of the Bloody Army, you are Lie Xing's guests, and Xun really trusts you two to bring you to the headquarters."

Neither Raymond nor Opal made a sound, and Asa asked again: "I heard that you rescued Xun and Yinjian on the Sphinx?"

Raymond didn't answer, but asked instead, "Where's the kid who was kidnapped?"

Asa said: "That child is the nephew of Douglas, the chairman of the Great Astronautics Association, and the nephew of the head of the Imperial Department of the Great Astronautics Association. Now... it is said that it is very chaotic."

Raymond said, "Beside the wrench?"

Opal frowned and said, "Have been found by the wrench?! Why didn't you tell me?"

Raymond said, "You never gave me a chance to talk."

Opal heaved a sigh of relief, the matter hadn't reached the point where it was completely unsolvable, he asked again: "Where's the Yinlong?"

Asa's expression was a bit hesitant, and then he said: "I don't know about Yinlong's situation, you can ask Sid...here we are, it's here."

The suspension car drove into the mirror of the aurora. The canyons of the mountains were filled with gullies corroded by weathered gravel and glaciers. The lightning flashed like a dragon rolling on the zenith, and the torrential rain merged into a waterfall, roaring and tumbling down from the cliff. It rushed across the Grand Canyon, rushed to the flood plain downstream, rushed out of the power of the sky and earth under the sudden drop of the terrain, circled the rapids for thousands of miles, and finally merged into the Twilight Lake.

The Mirror of Aurora stretched nearly [-] kilometers, like a huge scar on a scorching star, with canyons within canyons, mountains upon mountains, and natural labyrinths formed by fractured rock formations. It was indeed the best place for mercenaries to hide.Asa turned on the underwater mode, the suspension car entered the water, descended at the bottom of the roaring river, entered an inconspicuous cave, and then passed through the underground Hanoi, shuttling through the dark underground space. After traveling for an unknown amount of time, the first light appeared , the front checkpoint said: "Who? Show me the mercenary diary."

Asa handed out the mercenary diary and said, "The two guests Sid is looking for, here are the passports."

The guard looked down at Opal and Raymond, and said, "Hello, please come in."

The hover car passed the checkpoint, and Opal heard the guard say to his companion: "Why do you feel like a Martian? Are all adventurers also dressed like this?"

Raymond smiled helplessly, and Asa smiled and said: "You are very similar to Lie Xing's comrades in arms, should you go to the central cave first or..."

"Let's go home and have a look first." Opal said.

Asa was a bit strange about this name, but he still took them to the underground apron. Thousands of spaceships were lined up on the apron, many mercenaries were overhauling, and new artillery was installed on each spaceship.

Asa got out of the car and greeted the mercenaries, saying, "Here...Hi! Opal!"

Opal ran to Times VI in the corner and pressed his fingerprints beside the spaceship. Raymond said, "Wait for me!"

Era VI slowly opened the rear hatch under the watchful eyes of many mercenaries. Opal boarded the ship. A mercenary said to Asa, "Who are they? How can they pass the fingerprint verification lock of your spaceship?"

E7 and Xiao Q followed Raymond into the spaceship, and Opal fell on the sofa as soon as he got up, startling the other man in the spaceship.

"Who are you?" the man asked.

Raymond said: "Give me the mercenary diary, and now I will officially open all the permissions of the mercenary group to you."

E7 went up the console and introduced the flowers it had planted to Xiao Q. Asa jumped up with the hatch open and stared at them blankly.

Opal glanced at the man. The man had brown curly hair, dark blue eyes, high browbones and well-defined features, and a little beard. He looked very mature and vicissitudes.

After traveling in the universe for so many years, when I returned to the country of mercenaries, I found that the men on Lie Xing were indeed not bragging, and all the people I saw after returning were very handsome.

A random guard, an ordinary mercenary, has a temperament and demeanor different from the men he meets outside.It is tempered on the edge of life and death, and the indifference, fortitude and a fearless aura precipitated after the experience.Optimistic, open-minded but persistent, it seems that it is no big deal if the sky falls.

"This is Uncle Martin." Asa introduced the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle, they are Raymond and Opal, both adventurers... God, Raymond, what are you doing?"

Lei Meng sat on the swivel chair in front of the console, opened the star map, and unlocked a series of codes, the environmental analysis machine, the writing function of the star map, the code to start the escape pod... Lei Meng said: "Opal, when you left, there was no Give Karens all the permissions?"

Opal said: "He said he can't use some of the functions, and he locked some of them himself. Hey! You two slobs, can't you clean up this doghouse?"

Martin said, "Are you also... from the mercenary group?"

Raymond said: "I am the leader who has been missing for a long time."

Opal got up and went to the refrigerator to get a drink. There was only ale produced by Lie Xing in it, and he said helplessly: "It seems that you are really poor..."

Asa said: "Great! Captain! Are you planning to return to the regiment to lead us?"

There were many mercenaries watching from outside the hatch, and one said, "Asa, are they members of your regiment?"

"I don't know what's going on!" Asa said, "Brother Cullens didn't tell you, 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 don't make much sense."

Martin smiled and said, "That's right, as long as the person comes back."

Lei Meng activated all the permissions of the mercenary group and said, "Is there a trade union terminal here?"

Martin said: "Yes, there is an office when you turn right out of the underground hangar. The Twilight Union has moved here. We are independent. After falling out with the Blazing Star Union, many of the clerks followed us. Now the ground floor The union system on the Internet was brought back by Wrench."

Asa went over, sat on Martin's lap, and said, "It will be easy when you come back. It turns out that you are all your own."

Martin freed his hands and wrapped his arms around Asa's waist. The two were clearly a pair of lovers, just like Opal and Raymond were together in the past.

"I'm going to give them team access?" Raymond said.

Martin said, "Are you back?"

Raymond asked to see Opal, and Opal said: "I won't be back in the near future, but I have to use the team funds for you..."

Martin immediately said, "No, this won't work, it's all your money."

"What time is it?" Opal said, "Your money is enough? Star coins have depreciated to such an extent that you don't even have enough money to buy fuel."

Martin let out a sigh, and Raymond said, "Let's go, remember to reserve two seats for us, why are you polite? One group."

Martin thought so too. Being in the same mercenary regiment carried too many things. Even strangers who had never met before could trust each other and give their lives.

Martin jumped off the boat, put on his crossed sword and shield, and went with Raymond to hand over the authority of the team.

"He is a bit similar to the weapon used by my teacher." Opal looked at the photon shield on Martin's back and said, "What about you?"

Asa showed him a folding energy bow and said, "Mine is a bow. What do you use?"

"Bow? Few people use it anymore." Opal was a little surprised.

Asa said: "Uncle trained me to use a bow, saying that I am too impetuous, and learning this weapon can help me practice and meditate."

Opal flicked his fingers, and a large energy sword appeared. 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 come from?"

Opal said: "Oh, a new polymer material called Phoenix."

Asa said: "Uncle is right. Sure enough, I am still too ignorant... There is such a thing. Doesn't it violate the law of mass and energy?"

Phoenix's voice sounded: "No violation, because the material that makes me exists in an extra dimension that is everywhere. It is a curled dimension."

"Ahhhh——" Asa said, "What!"

Asa was so frightened that he knocked over his chair and said, "Sword...can the sword talk?"

Opal laughed and said, "It...is an artificial intelligence."

"My God, can I have a look?" Asa touched the golden red sword in doubt, while Opal held the hilt and said: "The teacher said that at any time, the weapon cannot be handed over to another person Here, I can only let you touch it."

Asa nodded in surprise and said, "Where's Raymond?"

Opal said, "He used a percussion ax cannon."

Asa said, "Ah, I know that, both long and medium range."

Opal smiled and said, "Yes."

Asa said: "When you all come back, our team combat power will be too strong. You and the uncle are suitable for melee shields. Raymond and I will support in the middle and long range. Brother Karens uses a gun..."

When the two were talking, the conversation outside became louder, and Xun's voice said loudly: "Opal!"

Opal turned his head, every time Xun appeared in front of him was a little different.

He still has a light back-shaped beard root, his hair has been cut, and the sides are pushed flat. The short hair on the top of his head stands upright like a rooster, and there is a scar on his brow bone.

"Come down and talk." Xun said.

Opal said: "Your style is really a failure."

Xun punched him and said, "I really dismantled my hair-cutting robot, damn it!"

Opal didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly asked, "Where's Raymond?"

Opal said: "He is handing over to the head of the Smoke and Sword Mercenary Group."

Xun frowned and said, "Are you really mercenaries?!"

Opal smiled and said, "Of course, we knew each other in our previous life, do you believe it?"

The two were silent for a few seconds, then Xun said: "I also think I must have known you in my previous life, and it feels very kind."

Opal opened his arms, and the two embraced tightly, Opal sighed, let him go, and said, "How is the situation?"

The two talked while walking, and Xun said: "We are going to win soon, Sister Haitang will come back, and when she comes back, she will sign the commission, and I can succeed as the mercenary king."

Opal said: "Have you thought about what will happen after taking over? What should we 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 have made up my mind that I have to succeed no matter what. No matter how many people die, I will sit in this position. It's not for me, but for For these brothers who follow me. Otherwise, the kingdom of mercenaries will die, in the hands of a wrench."

Opal said, "What about after succession?"

Xun said: "Issue the declaration of the new king to all the countries of the entire 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 in battle. Others leave Liexing, I will Designate the next mercenary king, let the new king establish a government-in-exile in the interstellar space, take away all the information of the mercenary union, as long as there are mercenaries, the country of mercenaries will never perish..."

Opal's eyes were red, and each other's eyes were red, and they looked at each other silently.

Xun said: "After getting the letter of appointment, I will launch a duel with the wrench, defeat him, and then fight to the death with the military forces of the empire. It is useless for them to destroy Lie Xing, the spirit will always be there."

Opal murmured: "It's too tragic, Xun, you can't do this. And how can you be sure 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 mistakes, just like I do, don't I?"

Opal said, "This won't work, it's too... let me think about it."

Xun said: "Opal, do me a favor."

Opal pushed away 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 an ordinary person. I will entrust Little Nell to you and teach him how you can be." I know that the bond between Lie Xing and you is deeper than any other place, I knew it from the time you told me to live a long life..."

Opal suddenly remembered something, he said: "Xun, there must be another solution, just stand still and let me see you."

Xun said: "We don't have time, the wrench is about to..."

Opal said: "Concentrate, close your eyes! Immediately!"

Xun stopped talking, closed his eyes, Opal put his hands on his shoulders, and said, "Remember what I told you on the Sphinx?"

Xun frowned slightly, 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 many mercenaries coming.

Nearly a hundred mercenaries stood on the tarmac.

Quick said, "Sid!"

Sid said: "Opal, you are an adventurer, you can sneak into those imperial people, 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!! With him around, we are confident!" Sid pushed Xun away and shouted at him, "You heartless bastard!"

The two sides wrestled together, Opal said: "Don't do it! Stop!"

The mercenaries backed away, and Raymond ran over and said, "What's going on!"

Opal didn't have time to explain, in fact even he didn't know what happened, forcibly separated Sid and Xun with the power of faith, and threw them aside, the mercenaries were in an uproar.

Sid struggled to his feet and yelled, "I beg you! Go save Yinlong! He's going to be executed in four hours!"

Opal: "..."

Xun yelled at Sid as if no one was around: "He died for his beliefs! He was willing! 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 fool Shame! Get this lunatic! I've had enough of him—!"
