The Star Knight

Opal finally found the lifeboat that made an emergency landing in Cameron. The moment the Theseus failed in its jump, most of the members still escaped, and many of them hit the planet. When it was dark, a group of Republic soldiers gathered under the waterfall.

Tifeng became weaker. The oxygen content here is too thin, as if it changes with the change of day and night. At night, the oxygen is only 17%. Tifeng can't stop coughing. The soldiers brought him an oxygen mask and put it on.

When Opal arrived, there was an uproar among the remnants of the Republic.

"It's me." Opal said, "Do you have energy?"

Tifeng frowned and shook his head.

Opal asked, "Where's Li Wei?"

Tifeng shook his head, his face was so ugly that he was almost speechless.

Opal pressed Tifeng's shoulder in the past, the power of faith poured into his mind like a surging tide, Tifeng felt more comfortable, and closed his eyes to think quietly.

Tifeng said in the oxygen mask: "Our spaceship is completely scrapped. The nearest star gate is 35 light-years away from this planet. Can you contact Rector and Cullens? Let them notify the headquarters and send someone to pick them up."

Opal said: "Even if they can be contacted, how do you let them come? It will take 35 years to travel at the speed of light."

Tifeng said: "Jump spaceship."

Opal said: "Holius must have expected that someone would come to rescue him, and he is monitoring the transition on the outskirts of the planet."

Tifeng rubbed his temples, and Opal said: "And Cullens may be in a more dangerous situation than us now, so he can only save himself."

An officer said: "Snatch a warship of the Wisdom Legion?"

Opal thought for a while, and said, "Energy, 50 units of energy, is enough to get us out of here. Ores are also fine."

The soldiers unloaded the energy furnace from the upper reaches of the waterfall, Opal released Phoenix's energy center, connected it to the energy furnace, and a circle of lights around the energy center lit up.

"12%." Phoenix said: "Only when you reach 17% can you jump, otherwise it will be very dangerous without energy after breaking through the space."

Opal said: "Well, I don't want to be kicked out of space by Horius, wandering in the universe for tens of thousands of years..."

The officers whispered that Opal's mecha was not only unseen by everyone, but also unheard of. It can be split, transformed, and combined into fighter jets of different modes, and it has advanced artificial intelligence.

Opal said: "I'll go to the clone's place to have a look, maybe I can steal some energy."

"Let's go together." Tifeng said: "Although our combat power is not strong, we can help you to some extent."

Opal thought for a while, and planned to sneak in alone, grab an energy furnace and come back, but Tifeng opened his mouth, so he had to take them with him.

Soldiers are still equipped with small ground life-saving flying boards. These flying boards can use the anti-gravity levitation effect to fly, and only a small amount of energy is stored in them. Plate these with the power of the Lightbulb Gun.

He placed Tifeng behind the quadruped, and spread his wings up to the heights of the woods.

The planet is at night, and there are many dangers hidden in the unknown dark forest and the sky. Tifeng said: "You have grown up, Yiwen."

When Opal heard him say that, he was a little emotional, and said with a smile: "Yes."

Ti Feng said: "When I met you six years ago, I never imagined that there would be such a day that I could sit on the back of your mount and fly in this kind of place."

Opal tilted his head and said, "Principal, where is Li Wei?"

Tifeng said, "Don't look for him, he's gone back now."

Opal: "..."

Damn it, Opal frowned and said, "When did he leave?"

Tifeng said: "He must preserve his strength for the Republic. When the Theseus was attacked, he left the battle. It doesn't matter, Opal. I don't blame him. Everyone must put the overall situation first."

Opal thinks of the relationship between Tifeng and Li Wei, and Li Wei always puts the overall situation first.

From Corolin's report, Opal's impression of Li Wei has not been perfect, starting from the promotion of Tifeng, to the promotion of his career path, to his prestige... and finally led to the confrontation with the Meteor Empire. fiasco.

"Ivan." Tifeng said again: "What's your uncle's plan?"

"Uh..." Opal said, "I think he...wouldn't plan to do business in the near future, maybe...the most important thing is to save his life. I think Li Wei was a little impulsive last time."

Tifeng hummed, and said, "What happened in the past is not important anymore, but I am still very grateful to your uncle, and will help you at critical moments."

Opal said in a low voice: "You're welcome, after all, he is also one of the victims. I mean, he is the only clone father who is still alive."

Tifeng said: "We just killed a replicant, he looks like your uncle."

Opal breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, so I think we have a common enemy now."

Tifeng nodded.

The night wind blew, and the quadrupeds crossed the forest and entered the coastline area. There should be no clones in the sea, so Opal searched along the coast, looking for light.

"Li Wei should really love you." Opal said, "No, I'm sure, he loves you very much."

Tifeng said: "I know, and I love him too, so when faced with life and death, we can all understand each other's choices."

Opal didn't answer, he could understand the relationship between Tifeng and Li Wei, and asked again: "Will you stay in the Republic after this war is won?"

Tifeng smiled and said, "I don't think so. I want to spend a happy life with Li Wei. I'm too tired."

"Li Wei once told me that his only regret in this life is that he has not experienced the dark age. The decisive battle with the Legion of Wisdom is the stage for all famous generals in history..." Tifeng raised his eyebrows: "It may be a bit untimely complaints are in there."

Opal said, "Then he has finally caught up."

Tifeng smiled, but didn't speak.

Opal finally found a gathering place for replicants.

Two replicants were sitting on the shore facing the atomic furnace.

Tifeng said: "Get ready to fight and kill them."

Opal said decisively: "No, we are not opponents, there are still enemies in the woods."

He released the power of meditation and detected no less than ten clones in the woods. The current priority is to get energy to leave here, rather than fight them head-on.During the battle, he could only subdue two or three clones of Raymond, and it seemed that there were clones of Azeroth among them... Opal only briefly fought against Azeroth once on the Wheel of Time , even if the opponent only retains 20% of the parent's ability, it is very difficult.

What's more troublesome is that Opal has an almost innate respect for Azeroth. Mech warfare is okay. After all, if you can't see each other, the power of faith in single-player battles will definitely be shaken.

If he was dragged back and the rest of them attacked Tifeng and his troops, the chances of surviving were unknown. Tifeng was very fragile, so there must be no mistakes.

"I'll go and have a look." Opal said: "You guys wait here, and if the situation is wrong, use the aircraft to go to the surface of the sea immediately."

Opal put down the wind, and drove the four-legged flying beast to run close to the beach, leaving a line of paw prints on the gravel, and slowly approached the two replicants, trying to control them with the power of faith.

Those two were clones of Cologne, and they were talking in a low voice. Opal got closer, and then they got closer, and they finally found out that there was a person on the quadruped's back.

Opal startled them just as he was about to initiate mind control, and both replicants got up and looked at him.

Opal simply relaxed a little, and made the four-legged beast walk over slowly, looking at them.

"What are you doing here?" Opal said.

One of the replicants asked, "How did you get here? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Opal: "!!"

Another Duplicant asked his companion, "You know him?"

Seeing that Opal was a little confused, the first clone said, "I am V0232."

He said to his companion again: "He was the one who led me to find the troops just now."

The second replicant was smoking a cigarette, narrowed his eyes and looked at Opal, and sat on the reef after a while.

Opal was a little hesitant to make a move, and after a while he made another decision and said, "I need a little energy."

V0232 said: "Is this enough? Take it."

"What does he want to do?" the replicant companion asked V0232.

V0232 said: "I don't know, but I want to give it to him."

"You have the final say." The companion of the clone drank a cigarette, and said vaguely, "Have you taken a fancy to this human?"

V0232 said displeasedly: "You think too much."

"Thank you." Opal looked at V0232.

"Take it." V0232 said.

Opal opened Phoenix's energy heart and absorbed the energy of the atomic furnace. V0232 said: "Come here, I have no malicious intentions."

Opal got a little closer, and the light from the atomic furnace reflected on the faces of the two, gradually dimming, replaced by a swirling red light around Phoenix's energy center.

"What is this?" V0232 asked.

Opal said: "Ancient God Mecha."

On the dark sandy beach, the sea was rustling, and the high tide gently rolled onto the sandy beach. The tall Raymond stood silently, staring at Phoenix's energy heart together with Opal.

Another clone of Raymond looked up at them, his eyes fixed on Opal.

Those eyes were very similar to the way the broken Raymond looked at him at the moment when they fled from Liexing after Raymond was destroyed by the acid beast a long time ago.

At this moment, Opal had an illusion in a trance.

Each replica is like the Raymond he once knew in the Hall of Blazing Stars. They have the initial memory of each other, as if this memory is stimulated every time Opal sees a person, and becomes a part of the soul. An unforgettable past filled the gap in each other's lives.

"V0232! You traitor!" Azeroth's voice sounded, and the two clones of Raymond became alert immediately, and Opal couldn't help but feel a sudden shock.

Azeroth came out with a huge ax in his hand, his eyes were full of anger, he stared at Opal, and said in a deep voice, "You can't give energy to humans!"

Azeroth's voice was full of majesty and murderousness, just like the moment when Opal heard the declaration of war in Liexing in the past.

V0232 said in a deep voice: "V7129, this is my decision, you have no right to interfere."

Another clone of Raymond said: "I support him, what do you want to do? We have the right to control what we own."

Another clone of Raymond appeared behind Azeroth, frowning and looking at Opal.

"Opal." Raymond's voice came from Phoenix's energy heart: "How is the situation on your side?"

Opal said: "Everything is fine, I am collecting energy."

Raymond said: "Rotman is dead, Cultus stays on Jinyao Star and refuses to leave, Alex escapes, and Barok evacuates Lion Galaxy under the protection of Justin and Feige."

Opal asked, "Where is Corolin?"

Raymond said: "He took over the defeated imperial army and went back to mobilize the aircraft carrier. Now we are incorporating the imperial mecha team that escaped from the Lion Galaxy."

Opal said: "I can end the mission right away, and I will contact you after I leave here."

There are replicants around, and Opal doesn't want to say too much in front of them. After cutting off the communication, he found that all the replicants were looking at him.

"Your empire's offensive plan has been completely won." Opal said, "Is there such a great hatred for human beings?"

The sitting Raymond clone said: "It's not hatred, it's to fight for your own living space."

Opal said: "We can live together in this universe, we all live our own lives, the universe is so big, there will always be a place to live."

"Why didn't you say that when you destroyed the test site base?" V0232 asked back.

Opal was stunned.

All the replicants looked at him.

"Because of the hatred left over from the dark age." Opal thought for a while and said, "I can't influence the teacher's decision. After their first war with you, they left an indelible impression. So we can only start first, Clear out those bases before you get big."

"So it can't be cleaned up now." The third clone said: "It's been captured, and it can't be beaten. Come and ask for peaceful coexistence. This is the habit of you humans."

Opal said: "Yes, I think if you question my teacher with the same words, he will admit it, but he has a clear conscience, and I have a guilty conscience, because my lover, like you, is a replica. My father is also a replicant, and he is Logan."

"The only difference is that he is a replica created by the father for me alone, carrying our original memories. He has all the souls and memories that were with me." Opal said seriously: "He can't take you As a robot killing, I can't do it, I don't even know what I am. That's it. We all have our own positions, I tried my best, after the war, if you want me to atone for your companions, you can come and find a way to kill Me. The premise is that you have this ability."

V0232 said: "The leader will not negotiate peace with you. You are very powerful, and there is nothing we can do about you."

The clone of Azeroth looked at Opal with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"He can kill all of us." The sitting replicant said casually: "I just don't want to do it, V7129, don't act rashly. Otherwise, no amount of chip backup can save you."

Opal's heart moved, as if he had discovered something from his words. He read the thoughts of Raymond's clone, and felt that he was judging his own strength, so he switched to Azeroth's thinking, and read a very important Information.

Opal was silent for a while, and said: "So we still have to fight. Only when both sides don't want to fight, can there be a chance for peace talks."

The sitting replicant said, "Let's fight, we'll see."

Opal said: "Just wait and see."

Phoenix rotated in the field of vision of all replicants, turned into a storm of golden and red fragments, combined into a phoenix spaceship, flew to the distance of the beach, and the remnant troops of the Republic boarded the ship.

In the center of the cabin, the crimson control crystal lights up, projecting a star map.

Opal said: "Who else? We have to find all the people who made the forced landing here."

Tifeng said: "Except for us, there are no republicans on this planet. They are all concentrated here. Can we jump now?"

Opal nodded, but he didn't know where to jump to, so he turned on the communication and asked, "Teacher, I rescued Tifeng, where should we meet?"

Cullens' voice said, "Tifeng, where's Li Wei?"

Rector said: "Iszur."

Phoenix was close to the vast ocean, bringing up a huge wave, and the Zenith battleship roared after the Phoenix, sending out dense light bullets.

"Prepare for the jump." Phoenix said in a deep voice: "Scorpio, Iszul."

Opal blatantly released the power of faith, a ring of fire spread across the sea, and the storm of flames swept away the fighter planes chasing Phoenix. Pulled into the fifth-dimensional space.

The turbulent sea water rushed out and scattered into the boundless universe. The moment the waves rolled up, they condensed into ice, like the ice crystal throne of the nirvana phoenix.

As far as the eye can see, there are aircraft carriers, battleships, and small fighters everywhere. A dense magnetic defense line has been built on the periphery of the Iszul galaxy.

Phoenix landed on the Nemesis, and several officers of the Meteor Corps brought Tifeng and Opal into the central conference room.

Rector, Karens, Kaiser, Andorei and Xun stood in the conference room.

Opal breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why are they all here?"

"Where's Li Wei?" Cullens said, "This is the third time I've asked. Who can answer me about Li Wei's whereabouts?"

Opal asked blankly, "Didn't he already come back?"

Tifeng steered the wheelchair into the meeting room.

"Li Wei is dead." Tifeng said with red eyes, "The Theseus was killed. He was thrown out of the protective cabin by the explosion to cover our escape. Let's start the battle meeting. How much vitality is left for human beings?"
