The Star Knight

Late at night, in the sky garden on the top floor of the Meteor Building, several visitors were waiting and yawning. Opal parked his car on the public platform of the Central Government Office, where Alan and another officer were waiting.

The officer shaved his head and held his military cap in his hand. Allen said a few words to him from time to time, and the officer just nodded slightly to show he understood.

"Him?" Andore asked.

Allen nodded, Opal jumped out of the car, walked quickly to the hall with his big sword on his back, and asked, "What do I need to do? Hello, Lieutenant General Andore."

Andore was unsmiling. Compared with Allen, this person seemed more mature and colder. His shaggy beard reminded Opal of Azeroth.

That is a very long memory.

"What do I need to do?" Opal asked Allen.

Andore frowned and said, "You don't know anything?"

Opal read Andore's first impression of him in an instant, and replied unceremoniously: "I didn't come back to quarrel with you, Lieutenant General Andore, I know you don't think much of me, but you can't meet me Foreigner, I think so."

"You..." A vein popped out on Andore's forehead.

Allen was struggling with a smile, Opal said again: "If you don't mind, how about a cup of tea? It's hard work going out on duty."

Andore was taken aback again, Opal knew that Cororin rarely called his subordinates to chat in his palace except for official business, and even the four generals regarded it as a kind of honor.

During a brief period of thinking, Opal read a little more about the relationship between the personal guards under Cororin and the four generals - the entire guards headed by Black Eagle once had conflicts with the military system.

Opal stopped in his tracks, and made a gesture of invitation in a dignified manner.

Andore let out a muffled snort, followed Opal with Allen, and boarded the lifting platform.

"When is the tactical meeting?" Opal asked.

Allen replied: "Everything is faster than expected, maybe all the preparations can be completed tomorrow."

Andorei said, "Did Your Majesty teach you tactics too? Prince Meteorite."

"No." Opal said with a smile: "On the contrary, he told me not to point fingers, and everything depends on the wishes of the generals."

Andore's expression softened a little. The three of them arrived at the Hanging Garden and entered all the way. Andore and Allen stopped outside the gate habitually.

"Please." Opal said, "This is my sincere invitation."

Allen smiled, followed Opal with Andore, and entered the palace.

Opal walked up to the main hall, and there were many people waiting by the fountain. When he saw him, he frowned and was puzzled. When he passed by the visitors, he instantly radiated the power of faith and accurately captured everyone's thoughts.

Allen said: "This is His Majesty's heir, His Royal Highness Opal."

"Everyone, please feel free." Opal walked into the main hall, turned around and sat down on the throne of Cologne, and everyone was moved in an instant.

Four middle-aged men, one young man, a representative of a mining company in the galaxy—the young man he knew, Kadir Horens.

"Sit down." Opal said.

Andorei said: "When His Majesty receives foreign guests, we never take our seats. I hope you will respect this throne."

Opal smiled and said, "I made a slip of the tongue, you guys..."

Opal pondered for a while, and a middle-aged man said: "I am the representative of Huge Mining Company. Recently I heard..."

Opal could read his thinking activities clearly. These people had no secrets to hide before his power of belief. He knew that they were all here to sell energy. There was going to be a war, and maybe they could make a fortune. Business.

Opal interrupted him and said, "We don't want the fluorite mine, please go back."

The middle-aged man said, "But Poons..."

Opal said: "There will be a period later."

The middle-aged man smiled disapprovingly, turned and left.

"The three of you, please quote." After the middle-aged man left, Opal said, "How many credits per ton for fluorite mine?"

Kadir twitched his eyebrows, and the rest of the people were not surprised by Opal's clean and neat way of doing things. They each took out chips and installed them on the projectors. direction to see.

Opal said: "Mr. Hinds from Black Rock Mining, is your boss still doing business with pirates?"

The man named Hindus smiled, held his wrist, and said, "That was a long time ago."

"You two, please go back." Opal sent away the other two middle-aged men, leaving Hinds and Kadir behind, leaning on the throne and thinking for a moment. Aaron also took out a chip and was about to tell Opal them When it came to how much fluorite ore was needed, Opal raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to say more.

Opal said: "Please ask Mr. Hinds to discuss with the people from the logistics and energy department."

Hinds nodded politely, turned and left, Opal said again: "Kadir, I would like to ask you to stay in the Grip of the Light, how about having a cup of tea together tomorrow?"

Kadir was a little flattered, he didn't know who Opal was at all, the memory of the past had disappeared from his mind, and said, "I actually brought the company..."

Opal nodded and said: "I know, I appreciate that you come in person as the president of the consortium, and I have other cooperation plans to discuss with you later. But before that, I need to meet a few other friends, if you don't mind , please wait a day."

Kadir nodded hurriedly, knowing that he was favored by Opal, he was immediately elated.

"The next visitor." Opal yawned, a little sleepy, but he pulled himself together and said to Andore, "Can I do this? Brother."

Andore was a little surprised. He was somewhat flattered by this title, but he still replied, "I don't know. I don't care about economic matters."

Opal said: "But you also know a lot, give me some pointers, I need your opinions."

Andore pondered for a moment, and Allen said, "I think it's okay."

Andore said, "But His Majesty never does that."

Opal said, "How does he do it?"

"Okay, these guys are taking risks," Allen said.

In fact, whatever Alan and Andore were thinking, Opal could read their thoughts. He was a little tired of this way of communication, so he stopped reading their thoughts unilaterally and switched to using language to communicate.

"These people are dishonest." Andore said: "The man named Kadir is also dishonest. Why did you leave him alone?"

Opal said: "He is young and I think a long-term partner can be formed."

Allen said: "We have a fixed supply of fluorite minerals, so we don't need to buy too much from them. In terms of war expenses, the logistics department has already made a large budget."

Andorei said: "It's always good to prepare more energy. After all, the transition of the aircraft carrier consumes too much, and no one can tell what will happen to the battle situation."

Allen stopped talking, and the three of them fell silent. A moment later, a female Aqua-Blue Star who was all in blue entered the hall and said in a hoarse voice, "I bring news that His Majesty Corinth won't like."

She raised her eyes and stared at Opal. Opal released the power of faith to read the thoughts of everyone present. From the memory of Allen and Andore, she knew that this woman was a dignitary of Water Blue Planet. She promised Kolo Lin set out the conditions and successfully planned a coup to drive out the banshee Rou.

For Shui Lanxing, she is a betrayer, but for the Meteorite Empire, she is a pawn with high value.

But now, the blue witch was very angry inside. She came with what she thought was important information, but was left alone for a whole night, and Cologne was not here.

Opal stepped down from the throne and held her webbed hand, her expression relaxed a little, and her eyes softened.

Opal kissed the back of her hand lightly, and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, according to the teacher's rules, the more important people should be put behind, what do you want to drink? My queen."

She was very satisfied with this title, and felt Opal's respect, and asked, "Are you an apprentice of Corolin? When did you accept such a young apprentice? How old are you?"

Opal said: "Less than a year ago...he has no time to clone now, but he warned me that we are each other's most loyal allies, let me think...you came here to tell us that the Republic is about to Is there a war against Iszur?"

Binna's eyes were narrowed, and the scaly eyelids reflected the light in the hall. She was a little surprised and said, "You are not only very winky, but also very smart."

"Thank you." Opal said with a smile, "Go to the garden and have a cup of tea. In fact, I'm not as small as you imagined... The teacher performed a genetic surgery on me, which made me grow backwards."

"Yeah." She nodded thoughtfully. Opal knew that she had calmed down now, and the people of the Shuilan Star were easy to talk to. People are two different kinds of people.Have basic courtesy to each other.

Opal was very short, and he took her hand and walked through the garden at night, the robot served tea, and the two sat down.

Andore and Allen were still standing behind Opal, and Binna said, "Let's be honest, I can't leave my home planet for too long. A reshuffle in the country before made the situation still unstable. I think, maybe We can do something for His Majesty."

Opal read some information about Water Blue Planet from Andorei's thoughts - the Republic sent a peacekeeping force during the coup d'état on Water Blue Planet, but was expelled from the outskirts of the galaxy by the armed forces of Kolorin.

This force is still staying outside the water blue planet to monitor its new movements, and is ready to intervene in any disputes on the planet at any time.Andorei made several requests to Cologne, wanting to annihilate it at once, but Cologne didn't think it was too late.

Opal said straight to the point: "The Republic has a team of small patrol warships on the outskirts of Shuilanxing."

Binna asked, "Did His Majesty tell you?"

Opal nodded and said: "His plan is not hidden from me, now I will send you a team consisting of [-] drones and a command ship to assist you in completely eradicating the Republic stationed in the water blue galaxy. Peripheral forces. At the same time contain their local army, so that they cannot deploy armed forces that deter other planets to join the main battlefield of Iszur."

Binna laughed, nodded slowly, and said, "I still need a batch of mechas."

"No." Opal said helplessly: "I don't have many mechas on hand. You know, the teacher is not here, so I can't just send the mecha team out."

Binna frowned slightly, and Opal said: "I'll think of a way, if the situation is really critical, maybe I can send a group of female Luoxing to help you, but I can't guarantee it, and I can't promise you easily, please first Make sure you are fully prepared.”

Binna thought about it, and was still a little reluctant.

Opal looked into her eyes and said repeatedly in her mind: This is the only way, this is not a difficult thing to deal with.

Binna said, "Okay, but I..."

Opal grasped her other thoughts in an instant, and immediately said: "As soon as the teacher is free, I will contact you as soon as possible."

Binna closed her eyes and nodded.

Opal made a gesture of invitation, she turned and left the palace, Opal heaved a sigh of relief.

He felt a little tired. He was with Corolin before, and their power of faith seemed to be shared, like relying on an inexhaustible and inexhaustible energy pool. However, when he released the power of faith alone When he was busy, he was nervous, coupled with high-speed thinking without buffer time, analyzing the other party's intentions, and then making decisions. Multitasking made him very tired.

"There are no outsiders now, please sit down." Opal said.

Andore sat down with Allen, and the little robot brought tea. Andore said, "I don't drink tea."

"I know, this is your wine." Opal put the empty glass away and came to pour him wine.

He looked like a child holding a [-]cm magnum, which made Allen smile.

"Let me do it." Allen took the bottle with a smile. Andore was very satisfied with Opal now, but he remained calm.

Opal looked up at Andore and said, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Andore took a sip of his wine and replied, "Sometimes, your tone resembles His Majesty's."

Aaron said: "Especially when you told Banshee that there is no guarantee, let her go home and eat herself...It's very similar to His Majesty's tone."

Both Andore and Allen laughed.

Opal said with a smile: "Maybe it's because I've been unconsciously imitating his relationship, but I didn't intend to let our people help Shui Lanxing die. I wish you two long lives."

Opal raised his teacup and touched Allen and Andorei. He knew that he had already gained Andorei's initial trust, and his decisions just now basically followed Andore's wishes, referring to all his thoughts and thoughts.Although he didn't know Andorei's weight in the Meteorite Empire's army, it was better to use Andorei's cognition to make decisions when facing a diplomatic situation for the first time without Corolin's guidance than to make random decisions by himself .

"Treasure the lives of soldiers." Andorei said in a deep voice, "Because these lives are your precious wealth."

Aaron has been busy for a long time, apparently finally able to rest for a while, leaning on the back of the chair, looking at the opposite mountain, said: "There will be another war in a few days."

Andore asked: "Major General, is the ground mecha team ready?"

Alan drew a virtual circle on the table with his finger, and said: "We have the most abundant energy source. The research institute on Lake Zena has provided a new power system, all of which have been modified for the Republic Galaxy U7 model. Through the last Feedback from Liexing..."

Andore let out a mocking snort disapprovingly.

"The Battle of Blazing Star was a mistake." Andorei said, "[-] soldiers and an aircraft carrier were sacrificed..."

Allen smiled and didn't say much.

Opal didn't read Andore's thoughts any more, he could almost understand what kind of person he was, this kind of person was absolutely loyal to Corolin and would have no other thoughts, even if he raised a dispute, the only purpose was To make this country stronger and better.

After a brief silence, Allen thought that Opal would explain something, but he didn't, so he had no choice but to speak again: "Your Majesty said, he has his own plan."

"I will still say it until now." Andore said coldly: "That was the king's decision-making mistake. He was dazzled by the news of Black Hawk's death. What happened? What a good thing, he betrayed everyone..."

Opal said: "I think he may have realized it too."

When Opal opened his mouth, it meant Cologne's tactful apology, and Andore seemed to have finally won his breath, and raised his eyebrows at Alan, who shook his head with a smile and looked at Opal.

Opal said: "How to fight next to win? The teacher asked me to learn from you. I brought back a new type of weapon, which is designed to deal with the drones of the Republic. Do you want to hear it?"

Andore put down his wine glass and said, "Say."

Opal mentioned the far star radio adapter, and Andore immediately became excited, saying: "Since this is the case, we have a chance to win."

His mood was like that of a child. When he encountered a war, he mobilized great enthusiasm. He planned the route on the tea table and said: "The forward army sent by the Republic cannot be this army of intelligent fighters. We must lure the enemy into deep , and then beat him in their own territory, making them think that they are going straight in, and then give him a heavy blow at the last moment..."

Allen interrupted with a smile: "Lee Wei leads the army, this time the opponent is not easy."

Andore expressed his disdain in a muddy voice, and said, "Li Wei is not worthy to be His Majesty's opponent at all. You can see that he doesn't even look at Li Wei."

Opal laughed and said, "We have to install radios in many places first, have they been manufactured?"

Allen said: "At present, [-] units have been processed, and it may take about [-] units to cover the whole planet..."

Opal frowned and said, "How long will it take?"

Allen: "It will be much faster after you get familiar with the structure, it is expected to be ten days at the fastest..."

"No need." Andore said, "It's enough to cover an area."

Opal said: "But..."

Andore: "You won't make traps to lure them all?"

Allen said: "I thought so at first, but Levi may not be tricked."

Andorei said: "So we need to formulate a detailed and deceptive plan, cover an area, and focus on eliminating Li Wei's main force..."

As soon as Andore talked about tactics, Opal couldn't even intervene. He just listened to Allen's constant report of the names of places that could be deployed. Andore poured a pool of wine on the tea table and drew out a map. , The two of you came and went to practice. Opal had already come into contact with Corolin in the previous deduction, and the tactics were similar. He said: "The space defense station can turn to the two poles at this time..."

Andore said: "Yes! That's a good idea."

Opal added a few words from time to time, and just as he was speaking, a civil servant came in from the Hanging Garden.

The three stopped talking, and Allen frowned, "What's the matter?"

The civilian replied: "Gravity abnormal fluctuations were detected 97 astronomical units away, and traces of transition energy appeared in the direction of the Milky Way. It is estimated that there are four aircraft carriers and no less than [-] escort battleships are approaching Iszur."

Opal: "!!!"

Allen and Andore got up at the same time and ran out of the sky garden. Opal said, "You came so fast?!"

Andore: "It's just in time! See how I can cripple the Republic! This time I will let Li Wei die in Iszur!"

Allen said: "Let's start the combat meeting first! We still have at least one more day of buffer time."
