Star Master

……

Over the capital star of the human empire, a disturbing atmosphere is permeating.

The streets are still crowded with people. The long-lost Marshal Hayden returned to the capital star. He issued a war warning to the people of the capital star. The Black Moon Knights began to be responsible for maintaining order on the entire planet. However, the people who have experienced many years of war are in order. To create any trouble, the council, which was initially worried about someone turning against Hayden, turned out to be overthinking again.

The "major humanist sentiment" among the people is much lighter than that of the parliament!Up to now, they are still thinking about letting Hayden become the "consul". What happened now that they came back to regain control of the military?temporary?The people hope that he will be in office forever. Regardless of whether humans will produce a pure-blooded human God of War who is more powerful than Hayden in the future, it will not be easy to produce a more handsome one than Hayden!

With Hayden and Gary there, everything is in order, and the only question this time is - where is the enemy?

The reporters gathered outside the Capitol, half of the camera was facing the sky, and the other half was facing the gate of the Capitol. When a congressman came out, he was immediately surrounded by a congressman. Gaile was almost berserk by the reporter's questioning.

Hayden is confirming the final details with Nigel.

Nigel: "There will be no problem. Mr. Ludwig taught me this personally."

Tianhe Wanderer: "The data has been confirmed, the coordinates have been rechecked, the personnel are in place, and there is no abnormality."

Hayden nodded: "Notify everyone, start."

The soldiers looked serious and didn't dare to delay for a moment. Today's Marshal Hayden was shrouded in a very strong deterrent force. Several young soldiers who had just graduated from the military academy passed by and were almost scared by Hayden.In fact, Hayden is still the same, with a gentle, polite, and amiable appearance. Standing on the stage, Hayden in the camera still looks like "the light of humanity" just by looking at his face, even though he has changed his job to the Dark Knight. But the feeling behind it still comes with sacred and tragic special effects.

Only when he got close did he realize how terrifying Marshal Hayden, who was smiling but not smiling.

The only one who was not affected was Elan.

"What's the matter." The military doctor commented indifferently, "Haven't I seen the kind of young couple who waited for a reply until they lost sleep?"

Nigel: "..."

Elan gave Nigel a white look: "What kind of expression, Marshal Hayden is also a human being, and he also eats, sleeps and falls in love. Do you think he is a perfect statue?"

The druid nodded slowly, and his intuition of natural magic made him a little uneasy: "The main thing is, what will prevent Mr. Ludwig from replying..."

……

At various calculated locations on Capital Star, some are in squares, some are on the rooftops of shopping malls, and some are military aprons. Many people are putting some kind of metal plates on the ground. The robe, which looks like it could be knocked down by a finger of the military cadet beside him——

Those are mage apprentices, serious mage apprentices, ordinary people who couldn't get into the military academy because of poor physical aptitude in the past.Ludwig's basic introductory magic online class gave these ordinary people with rare magical talents a chance to spy on a whole new world. The door of the magic hall slowly opened and gave a low echo. People who were originally evaluated as "no future" , suddenly became a master apprentice.

"start!"

Hayden's order came from the communicator, and everyone gathered around their respective metal plates and started muttering spells.

It is true that they did not learn well enough, many people stumbled and stumbled in their magic power, but all of them memorized the incantations very skillfully, if they did not succeed in the first attempt, they immediately tried it a second time without being discouraged.

One place lights up, and the second place lights up... Each metal plate is a well-drawn magic circle. These apprentices are not so powerful yet, so the mother of the magic circle was drawn by Ludwig before he left. Gary directly took the samples to the arsenal, and asked the mechanical assembly line to re-engrav them onto the metal plate to ensure that they were exactly the same, and then asked the mage apprentices to trace them with magic power. This is how the assembly line magic array in the era of large industries was created.

Beams of light flew into the sky, turning the blue sky into a magical purple.

Then exclaimed.

In the reporter's high-powered lens, the gray spirit body is clearly visible, their tentacles curl and straighten, ready to move outside the atmosphere.A spiritual body stretched out its tentacles, touched the beam of light rising from the ground, hissed, and a puff of smoke rose.

Hayden stood in front of the parliament building and explained: "This is a very simple spirit body defense rune, but we have a total of 360 mage apprentices, and they are casting spells together in various parts of the capital planet at the same time. With powerful energy, these magic runes put a protective barrier on the entire mother planet. Now these spiritual bodies are no longer invisible. They can be killed by high-energy beam weapons. The power of guns is not as good as that of light-energy knives, but If only guns were available, breaking their tentacles would be more effective than beating their heads."

In the background is a spirit body with a hideous and strange shape. Hayden in front of the camera is watching the camera calmly: "The predator who came from afar is full of confidence, thinking that Capital Star is a self-contained dining table full of various meals, but today , we will use the simplest actions to tell them who is the food, not necessarily!"

The reporter was in the middle of his impassioned enthusiasm, and suddenly got stuck: "...Marshal Hayden said well! But why do you feel that today's pre-war mobilization is weird..."

On the street, there was an exclamation, and a pale pedestrian looked at the crowd around him in confusion——a spiritual body suddenly appeared behind him.

"Damn it?" The pedestrian followed everyone's gaze and turned his head, he was startled, the two tentacles of the spiritual body were wrapped around his waist, "No wonder I feel tired after sleeping for the past two days... help! Come and kill the octopus!"

Humans have been tired of wars for a long time, but because of this, the fourth civilization that came to the door aroused even stronger anger-"It was hard to negotiate peace with the Zerg, and the third civilization has also been dismantled, just want to relax and enjoy a peaceful life , took out the optical brain and prepared to follow the article, and you actually put the author into a deep coma for us? Unforgivable!"

——Although today's Twin Queens are still in a coma, they still made outstanding contributions to the Human Empire.

Hayden stood in front of the central podium, calmly looking at the data reported by the artificial intelligences, and everything did not exceed expectations.

Artificial intelligence has formed a very complete monitoring system. Imperial scientists set up energy detectors for the activated magic runes, and then connected them with the control authority of artificial intelligences. These artificial intelligences with perfect data control are assisted in real time. Casting spells, helping junior apprentices monitor the operation of magic, such as which rune needs to be supplemented with how much magic power to input, artificial intelligence can calculate a number, accurate to three decimal places-thanks to the militarized courses in the basic education of the Empire, even if He is not a graduate of a military school, and he has also received training in the skill of obeying data instructions.

The existence form of the spirit body is also like a mass of energy, with a certain frequency and range. Scientists also calculated a set of formulas overnight, which can be used to estimate the energy of different levels of spirit bodies, and then cooperate with artificial intelligence and front-line fighters to achieve the ultimate goal. The last name that saves one's own energy, cuts the mental body into a state of losing combat power as soon as possible-after all, the high-energy light energy weapons against the spiritual body consume a lot of energy!

The soldiers jokingly said: "Use science to learn magic, and then compare who dismembers the octopus better."

……

The war with Xida civilization has officially begun.

However, the main forces of humans and Zerg did not encounter high-level spirit bodies. All those who ended up participating in the battle were middle- and low-level spirit bodies. They belonged to the one that had no intelligence but predator instinct at the beginning, and only a few high-level spirit bodies sporadically The body hovers outside the atmosphere of the capital star and acts as a conductor.

Gaile tried to send out an elite team to attack these commanders, but the densely packed middle and low-level spiritual bodies blocked in the middle, and the elite team was more like a food delivery team.

After thinking for a while, Hayden guessed——

The high-level spiritual body is with Ludwig.

They judged that mages were more threatening.But - underestimating ordinary people?The day when the price will be paid is not far away.Hayden sneered, and the secretary who came in scared dropped his coffee and ran away.

His communication with the mage was cut off. Although he could still perceive the existence of the mage through the imprint in his soul, he couldn't call the mage. No matter how many times he called Ludwig's name, he didn't hear an echo.

This feeling made Hayden a little irritable.

Ludwig was also a little irritable.

The internal structure of the spherical space station was very annoying, so he turned around and met Rollei again.

Rollei was taken aback, and Ludwig's face was clouded: "I'm lost. I hate spherical space stations."

Luo Lai: "The spherical space station is really annoying and very impractical. The gravity of each area has to simulate the direction separately. The daily maintenance is very troublesome, so it has been eliminated by the empire long ago!"

Click, click, click...

Some kind of rhythmic tremor came from under his feet, Ludwig frowned, and Luo Lai only listened for three seconds, and immediately judged: "From the sound, it can be concluded that it is a machine, humanoid, weighing about [-] kilograms, agile, Armed with light weapons, possibly with melee weapons."

"Mechanical?" Ludwig thought thoughtfully, "Could it be that the mage behind the Cedar spirit also raised a star spirit?"

He stood where he was, holding a forbidden spell in one hand, but soon Luo Lai could see clearly what was coming at the end of the corridor.

"Not the spirit of the star." Luo Lai said, "Purely mechanical creation, no soul, not a mechanical life form."

"I know what that is." Ludwig's mouth was drawn into a line, which looked like a blade.

He stared at the human figure that appeared not far away, "In the place where I studied magic, industrialization once made some people feel 'anti-magic'. They believed that mechanical technology is the future, and magic, magic and martial arts are all backward. Useless tradition is a cancer of the old age that hinders the progress of the world... So they kidnapped and coerced the academic mages and scholars, threatened the apprentices with their lives, and forced the mages to develop a machine that could "track and identify the caster". known as 'The Hunter'."

Rollei: "Luther, you..."

Ludwig immediately turned around and kept shaking his head: "No, no, no, I was never hunted down. That period of history is called the 'Dark Years', but it was more than 2000 years ago. The history of the interstellar human empire exploring the universe is still early... Of course I have not experienced it, but as modern mages, we have all received scar education based on history! But speaking of it, with the development of new things, new technologies and old traditions are in conflict , This belongs to the normal development process of social history. After the human empire entered the interstellar era, didn’t the awakened ones also be replaced by mech fighters... As for those who are too extreme, we can just learn from the lesson and don’t do it again!”

The mage's explanation was quite calm and rigorous. After he finished speaking a series of words, Luolai slowly relaxed his tense shoulders, and a shiny object fell from the corner of his eye. Ludwig endured it again and again, and took out the crystal The vials were put away.

"Crystal of pure holy light energy! Dad!" Ludwig exclaimed, "You cry this tear, which is equivalent to a high-level healing technique! Throwing it on a person, even if the heart is pierced, it will return milk!"

Luo Lai: "..." It seems that instead of being sad that I didn't take good care of my son, I might as well squeeze two more tears and use them for his research...

Ludwig put away his tears and continued: "Later, the movement of these mechanical fanatics to destroy the law was finally disintegrated, and the abandoned 'hunters' were dismantled. Some congressmen suggested that these mechanical creations used certain Magical technology, so it can be recycled and used to make steel golems to avoid waste of resources—but because they represent the scars of an era, it is a serious detour that mankind has taken, and most descendants of spellcasters refuse to see this order. The things that make people sad are all destroyed. So..."

The steel golems had slowly approached, and in their mechanical eyes, the green light instantly turned red—that was the sign that the caster was found and the clearing command was about to be activated.

"I am very curious now. What is the origin of a mage who built a space station into a mage tower and has a complicated relationship with interstellar spiritual creatures, but took out this evil steel golem? With less than a little... dignity as a spellcaster, I don't see him having the slightest awe of life and history, he is blaspheming knowledge." Ludwig said sternly.

The mage raised the forbidden technique in his hand, and in the air, countless half-moon-shaped black blades condensed into shape, as if someone smashed a piece of black crystal that reflected cold light.

"This unlucky wild mage also knows how to irritate the well-educated black mage." Ludwig said, the black crescent moon in the air suddenly activated, and countless blades slashed, leaving black scars in the air , They quickly slid across the surface of the steel golem, and those golems also aimed at Ludwig and began to charge!

Luo Lai: "Be careful, that is a very agile machine—"

Halfway through his speech, he silently closed his mouth and raised his hand to touch his nose.

——When he was still the Star Spirit, Ludwig just broke his nose, that was really an unparalleled respect and love for his father.

The steel golem in the charge approached the mage in an instant. Ludwig's long hair was raised high by the air waves, but the mage didn't move. He put his hands in the sleeves of the wide mage robe, with a calm and calm expression, and a smile on the corner of his mouth. Those steel golems rushed over with a bang, and then rushed out majesticly rubbing his body. Due to inertia, they fell apart behind the mage and disintegrated into metal parts.

The author has something to say: Lulu: Turn on the boss mode! ! !

I found that the persona I gave to Luo Lai’s father is really beautiful Su Shuang’s persona, and the tears she shed are treasures 23333333 [Silly dad’s IQ is slowly coming online...]

And it’s also very coincidental. I wrote this chapter today, and I wrote about the dark days. It happened that my roommate suddenly talked to me about hunting witches in the Middle Ages... I... [So I will definitely not write articles about the dark days, I am a fairy tale author!At most, I can complete some history kills, this is the limit of the fairy tale author! 】
