Him and their stars.

Chapter 1751 They are not your strength, but your burden
It's only been less than half a minute. Even his subordinates didn't have time to come back to help.

Duke Garybion looked towards the direction of the broadcast. With her current way of thinking, it was hard to imagine why the ship could still broadcast after being damaged like this.

Now, she just wanted to confirm whether the broadcast just now was true or not.

The Duke adjusted the communication channel, but because she was in the high temperature purgatory, she could only hear a burst of noise. She gritted her teeth and switched to the mystic unit again. She was about to try to call the star officer on the Shikigami, but she heard Yu Lian's voice.

"Don't think about it, Your Highness. Didn't I tell you? The Mirage and I are destined to be together."

Duke Gary Bian pursed his lips and walked towards the direction of the sound. The spear in her hand emitted a faint light, and invisible power poured down from the spear head that looked like a yellow gem. The fire in the ship dissipated instantly, the air flow began to calm down, and the temperature began to drop. The turbid and foul air in the ship also began to dissipate little by little, as if it was sucked in and blown away by dust and smoke.

It is difficult to say whether the weapon in her hand is a spear or a staff, but at least at this moment, the Duke's actions are as if he is a savior, inexplicably filled with divine glory.

However, even if the Grand Commander turned into a true god, she could not repair the interior of the warship, which had already been destroyed beyond recognition, let alone bring so many soldiers back to life.

Is this ship still worth keeping? If I were the emperor, I would definitely order it to explode on the spot, right?
A thought of treason flashed through the mind of Duke Garybian, but as the scene became clearer, she also clearly saw the enemy in front of her and her two comrades.

They were all still alive. But they were all exhausted.

The closest Marquis Trono barely stood in the middle of the passage. His armor was still intact, except for a few obvious lacerations. Although he was standing, his body was trembling slightly uncontrollably, and the huge sword was awkwardly stuck on the ground, supporting his body to stand.

He was adjusting his breathing and gathering his strength.

Duke Misaro was about seven or eight meters away from his colleagues, leaning against the wall of the passage. His helmet had been completely destroyed, revealing his big bald head covered in dirt. Although he was standing, he was obviously leaning against the wall. His left hand was still holding the double-headed atomic light spear, hanging naturally by his side, but it was not unsheathed. But his right hand was cut off along the wrist.

Of course, even with such a serious injury, this tough guy still tried his best to stand up, and there was no obvious pain on his face. When he saw Duke Gary Bian, he even twitched his facial muscles and squeezed out an ugly smile.

"Alright, that's great. My highness, you really came with me. From now on, it's up to you. Be more alert, your highness, and don't lose face!"

This guy can still tell jokes, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right? As for the disability of losing a hand, it's nothing in this technologically advanced era. At most, he can just lie in a petri dish for a year or two.

Duke Garybian moved a little closer, wanting to help his two colleagues with some skills, but his spiritual sense immediately caught a slight ripple in the air.

In such an environment, such a breeze is impossible to appear. Needless to say, it must be the fluctuation of the space force field. Gravity, attraction and the orderly fluctuation of huge energy may cause similar effects, but it is not important. The head lady can only feel that there seems to be something terrible lurking behind the ripples, ready to rush out from the tiny space at any time and bite her.

If I have to divide my attention to deal with these unknown killers who use space to jump, it will be difficult to effectively heal my two comrades.

What's more, in addition to invisible enemies, there are also visible enemies within one's sight.

That was Yu Lian. The most dangerous enemy of the empire this century, he had already discarded the emblem machine that seemed like a burden, and was only wearing a close-fitting anti-gravity power suit, posing in a flawed posture, sitting cross-legged at the end of the passage in front of him.

The spear of light bestowed upon him by the Emperor was not unsheathed, but simply placed on the ground.

His limbs were intact, but his overall breath was very weak, even weaker than the two imperial generals who were already exhausted and injured.

However, the Duke certainly did not dare to take it lightly, he even slowed down his pace, bent over, and laid down his jeweled spear. Of course, she didn't know that her action made Yu Lian feel very familiar, so he also laughed: "Ahahaha, the devils have entered the village, how fucking appropriate?"

This sentence was spoken in the common language of Earth. The Duke was not very familiar with it, but he always felt that he was being described as vulgar, so he raised his head a little.

"I stabbed him in the chest. Even if the vital organs were displaced by some means, he must have been seriously injured," said Marquis Trono. There was a sense of pride in his voice, as if he was proud enough to hit his opponent.

Admiral Misaro said coldly with a gloomy face: "Although he chopped off one of my hands and took out one of my kidneys, he also knocked out one of his lungs. Yes, at least a whole lung."

Yu Lian smiled: "All your dragons are gone. Not even a bone is left."

The two were speechless for a moment.

"Your dragon boat is gone too. I don't know how many times I've emphasized that dragon boats and I are meant to be together."

Duke Gary Bian took another step forward and stopped in front of his two subordinates. She was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Was the broadcast just now actually your work?"

Yu Lian smiled: "I am an engineer. Although I haven't taken a certificate, I still understand ship communications. In other words, no one here understands the Titan ship's internal communications better than me. I can always find a communication channel to hack into. However, you should thank the designers of Tiangongyuan and the workers of the Hand of Glory Shipyard for building this giant ship. Even though we were in a storm inside the battleship, there are still a lot of equipment left that can be broadcast."

This means that while the other party is fighting with you to death, he can still spare some energy to operate the equipment and hack into it?
The two seriously injured imperial saints could not help but look at each other. They were now very shocked and even began to doubt whether their previous victory was real.

Yu Lian continued to smile, "Yes, this is a really good ship. Look, even the life support system has been restored. Has the robot repaired the hole we smashed?"

Admiral Misaro and Marquis Trono became even more depressed. They still felt that all the enemy's praise for the Titan was just a disparagement for them.

Duke Gary Bian was unmoved and asked directly, "So, the Pilgrimage was really lost?"

The other party asked naturally, so Yu Lian answered frankly: "I don't know. But I assure the Spirit of the Universe that I only forwarded the overall report from the bridge of this ship."

For some reason, seeing Yu Lian's open smile, Duke Gary Bian immediately believed most of it, but he still had doubts: "Even if your subordinate can fly a fighter plane close to the Relic, he is only one person."

Well, legally, she is indeed my subordinate. Of course, your lover can still rely on each other's backs, which is also a beautiful scene!

Yu Lian said proudly: "The 33 fighter she was flying did not carry antimatter torpedoes, but your country's alchemical missiles. Your space beacon missiles."

"..."

"It's the weapon that created the miracle of 1 hour and 22 minutes during the Battle of the Ring of Miracles." Yu Lian still smiled: "It's a weapon that can bury space beacons inside the hull and create a space channel. Unfortunately, the people of the community have worked very hard, but the most difficult thing to catch up is still your country's alchemy and mysticism reserves. We can't produce this kind of weapon. But fortunately, thank you for the big rocket you sent during the Metamorphosis Project."

The person who almost became depressed this time was Duke Garybion himself.

As the actual executor of the "Transformation Plan", she now wanted to slap herself in the face eighteen times. However, as someone who had experienced several failures, her emotions were relatively stable, which was commonly known as her thick skin.

"Are you using yourself as bait?"

"Who is not involved in the killing and fighting? If you don't even have the awareness of risking your life, then you are not qualified to discuss war. If I can't use myself as bait, then I am not qualified to abandon the other soldiers." Yu Lian dropped his hands to his side: "However, if I say that although the Xunli is destined to be with me, everything is done according to the circumstances, do you believe it?"

The head of the group wanted to say, "I don't trust you at all," but she didn't dare to completely disbelieve it. "In other words, including your active attack this time, you are also gambling?"

"After the third ring, every time I was promoted, I was in the virtual realm. Every time was a gamble, a close dance with death. I am very lucky. My people still need me and are giving me strength."

Duke Gary Bian was full of admiration. She still found it difficult to accept this way of life and practice, but she was always full of respect in her heart. Then she shook her head slightly: "Your courage and nobility are known to the whole universe. However, noble people often die because of the idealism they strive to uphold. Your people are not the source of your strength, but a burden."

Yu Lian was a little surprised. It was the first time he heard someone directly criticize his ideals, and he never thought it would be an enemy general he had only met once.

He originally thought that the role would be played by a white-haired fox or even an orange cat.

"In fact, the biggest bargaining chip you use in every gamble is your own courage. This is true this time, and it was also true for the last Transformation Plan. But, what kind of cause would require someone like you to be in danger all the time? I'm afraid what you're pursuing has surpassed Victoria Lee, right?"

Yu Lian smiled and said, "Your Highness, since we last met, I have only seen your great progress in eloquence. I didn't even know that the Grand Master of the Star Knights also has the job of a lobbyist?"

Duke Gary Bian took off his helmet. Her expression was humble and sincere, as if she was talking to her idol.

"Every Tirilo person has the obligation to persuade you to return to normal. This is especially true for the people of the Dawn Royal Family. His Majesty has also said that each of us must show you due respect. This is the decorum of the empire." The Grand Commander bowed in the direction of the Sky Realm, but his beautiful eyes were still looking at Yu Lian with hope, expectation, and even a little pleading:
"However, even without your Majesty's order, I will do my best."

Here we have to admit that what men can't stand the most is the admiring gazes of ladies. Moreover, if the target is a mature and charming older sister with a curvy figure, the effect will be much more obvious than that of an underage girl.

Yu Lian felt that this duke lady was a decent person. She was flirting with him with her eyes, and she didn't even use any magic. Her main point was her sincerity.

Of course, this is probably because she has already sensed the presence of dawn, right? Although the lady's actions just now were a bit like the devils invading the village, in fact, she was completely tense from the moment she approached her perception range. Her spiritual energy even seemed to be like a silent mist, soaking into every tiny air flow in the space, and then completely disappeared without a trace.

The clash between high-level psychics is actually going on all the time.

But even so, Duke Garibeian still plays the role of a promising lobbyist: "They are actually dragging you down. Your Excellency, humans lead the future of all civilizations. And we... no, especially people like you, should lead humans. You should lead them, spur them, educate them, and dominate them, instead of being dragged down by them. If you always talk about the so-called equality in a general way, aren't you evading the responsibilities that a leader should have?"

Yu Lian smiled and asked directly: "The last time I saw you, you were already at the peak of the seventh ring. I thought that when we met again, I might be facing a new demigod. Your Highness, why didn't you continue your demigod ritual?"

The Duke sighed bitterly, forcing himself to look pitiful: "You destroyed my transformation plan, and you also crushed my warrior heart. Before I regain everything, the promotion to demigod is a suicide act."

In other words, the demigod ritual is very dangerous?

Yu Lian began to take notes in his mind. He had never been a demigod in his previous life, so it was good enough that he could gather some information. However, speaking of this "dangerous", wasn't his own promotion dangerous? Even the two times he became a saint, he had to go through super long dungeons, and both were real-world dungeons that would definitely make him addicted if he wasn't careful.

However, he still smiled and said, "Is it dangerous? Or does His Majesty the Emperor not allow it?"

Without waiting for the Duchess to answer, he added: "Or, what if His Majesty the Emperor forced you to allow it, but you gave it up on your own?"

"...Indeed, it is really foolish of me to play tricks with someone like you." Duke Garybion still smiled, and the end of the spear in his hand gently knocked on the ground: "But, this is also good, at least I can be sure."

"Are you sure of what, Your Highness?"

"Are you sure you have reached your limit? These weird little gadgets are your trump cards, right?"

There was something very dangerous in the Grand Commander's smile and eyes. She quickly stood up straight, and the golden engraving suddenly emerged from the outer layer of her emblem machine, and then it bloomed and formed a very gorgeous and brilliant halo.

In the space touched by the flashing halo, the ripples in the space were clearly visible. Therefore, everyone seemed to only see the sword edge, which seemed to be condensed from the flowing air, with a faint outline blooming in the halo.

However, the body of Duke Garybian was completely hidden in the halo and could no longer be seen.

She seemed to have merged with the brilliant light, but her voice resounded in the brilliance, still calm, but with an omnipresent divinity.

"You used them to try to sneak attack me. However, when I saw through their actions, they were already ineffective. Now, it's you who are the one doing the damage. If you say so..."

She suddenly stopped talking because another broadcast sounded beside her ears: "The Xunli is approaching, our ship, pay attention to avoid it!"

That voice was indeed the captain of the Tirero Yongjin, but Duke Garybion had no time to figure out whether it was true or not.

The sudden rise in temperature and the loud explosion caused by the collision of the force field almost made her lose the ability to think for a moment.

The air ripples mixed with light and shadow were thrown into the strong light like ghosts. This time, they not only disappeared from people's eyes, but also dissipated from people's senses, and then instantly split into countless tiny invisible blades, lurking in another level of space and starting to attack.

Gary Bian did not feel any danger. Now, she had merged with the aura, no longer having any entity, and no longer being in danger.

However, what she found difficult to understand was that even though the other party was in the "Absolute Judgment Field" she had deployed, he still launched an attack without hesitation.

This "Dawn Dragon" is a fearless warrior, but the Duke has never heard that he is a lunatic with self-destructive tendencies!

Or is there really no difference between the two?
Duke Garybion did not hesitate. In the area of ​​light, a changing force field like an electric arc flickered between the light and shadow. The passages, floors, and walls of the ship seemed to be immersed in a swamp of golden light, as if they were swallowed by an unknown subspace.

However, when the electric arc was about to engulf Yu Lian, the latter just responded with a smile. He gestured to Duke Gary Bian to say goodbye, and then he turned into a shadow.

He was not locked in by the domain, nor was he brought to the "court of inquiry" composed of consciousness, but had entered the dimensional channel and left here. The head lady could certainly feel this.

Not good! The Duke quickly changed the nature of his domain and protected his colleagues, but he was still a step too late.

Marquis Trono had one of his legs torn off by a dimensional blade and fainted on the spot.

Admiral Misaro's head tilted, and he slowly shrank to the ground, and died. Without his armor, he had a very obvious through-wound on his chest.

However, it was too late to be sad now. As her mind turned, Duke Garybion could not help but look to the right. Her spiritual vision passed through the interior of the storm-ridden warship, through the armor and shields, and then she clearly saw the Pilgrimage passing by the Tirrero Advance.

The Empire's priceless special alchemical warship, with the emblem of the Dawn Royal Family painted on its side, was sailing towards the Earth's army in a swaggering manner.

At this moment, the Duke clearly felt that his ancestors for eighteen generations had been ridiculed to death.

In comparison, the death of Admiral Misaro and the disability of Marquis Trono are not very important issues.
