Him and their stars

Viscount Eris outside the passage suddenly felt very strong spiritual fluctuations. If the passage just seemed to be a deep well with no bottom, now it seems to have suddenly turned into boiling magma. As an experienced Star Viewer, he certainly knew that the confrontation between powerful high-ranking psykers had already begun.

Of course, this kind of thing can actually be known without psychic powers. The ordinary Imperial soldiers near the entrance of the passage could clearly feel that the temperature had climbed directly to four or five degrees, and they could even smell a little bit of sulfur through the air filter of their helmets.

Several Razakai artificial soldiers were trembling with fear, their hands and feet were deformed. It took more than three times the time before to set up a monitor and a reconnaissance drone terminal, and then they ran back rolling and crawling, as if It looks like there is a natural enemy behind him.

However, as an experienced Star Viewer, he did not need those surveillance cameras to know that in the passage, Count Baore was facing no other opponents except Natalia Elenko. possibility.

She is a young psyker. Yes, considering the average age of a saint, she is extremely young. It is said that at the age of twenty-four, he crossed the sixth ring threshold that shackles most psykers.

Of course, this was ten years ago. As for her current state, it is unclear to what extent she has reached. However, everyone in the Galactic Empire knew that that crazy earth woman, although she had received the most rigorous training and mystical education, was indeed a genius who emerged from the battlefield.

She used blood and fire to hone her skills and improve her realm. Compared with this "Red Shura" war madman, the astral knights can be regarded as harmless academics.

Although Count Baorre is also an experienced, brave and resourceful hero of hundreds of battles, facing the "Red Shura" who was born specifically for the battlefield, he still has an uncertain future.

You know, when the Astral Knights internally evaluated potential powerful enemies, they unanimously believed that the knight captains and "quasi" knight captains who were also in the realm of saints could still fight when they encountered the other six of the seven sons of Reiken. A noble, elegant, and sacred battle of honor for extraordinary beings.

But if you meet Natalia Elenko, it will be a completely different painting style dripping with blood.

In this case, it is not a shameful thing to avoid the edge temporarily and wait for backup. If an astral knight doesn't even understand this truth, he is either a reckless man who cannot be trained, or he must have slept through the courses at the Royal Knight Academy and training camp.

...Well, will Count Baorre be his opponent? The other party is a saint, and the count is also a saint, and it is said that he will break through the seventh ring soon. There should still be a certain advantage in terms of absolute strength, right?

Viscount Eris made the above judgment, but he was still a little worried, and for a while he did think of going over to help. But at this time, violent flames suddenly burst out in the passage, like a terrible fire scene.

The Viscount sighed and took a step back. As an experienced Hoshimi officer, he also knew that his combat level was actually not very satisfactory. So, after thinking for five seconds, he decided to wait.

At this time, Colonel Coleman had already approached him and lowered his voice: "Sir, what do we need to do now?"

What can be done? After the three Dukes entered the virtual realm, Count Baorei was already the top master of the Astral Knights in this fortress? Although he said that, Viscount Erris still nodded: "There is indeed something that needs to be done. Don't wait here and let me do the magic."

As he spoke, he took out a compass-shaped object from his arms, then stretched out three fingers to make a very awkward-looking handprint.

Colonel Coleman always felt that every time he saw these psychics taking action, he felt that the universe was taken to another style. As for the Star Knights and Judges, that's all. The magic sticks of Xingjian Pavilion gave people a particularly obvious impression.

However, as an experienced and excellent imperial officer who had worked with psykers many times, he still took a few steps back, trying not to pay attention to the other party's movements. At the same time, he ordered the engineers to prepare for fire prevention and extinguishing, and let the grenades The soldiers went to install high-temperature protection pendants on the mechas.

How could these heroic Panzergrenadiers not know what their superiors meant? Each one of them was like a widower, and they no longer looked full of martial virtue.

However, only a minute later, the grenadiers didn't even have time to wait for the racks. As the temperature flowing out of the passage became higher and higher, the occasional flames had already appeared intermittently, which made people feel heart-stopping. It was blazing white, and a burly figure with fire on his body rushed out directly.

"So fast?" The Viscount was shocked: "I haven't even had time to do it."

But the burning man made the voice of Count Baoré: "Quick, quick, quick! It's so hot! It's so hot! Put out the fire!"

The engineers looked at each other, but under Colonel Coleman's gaze, they hurried forward with the fire extinguisher. Then, the majestic Count Baoré, the head of a wealthy sword-wielding family with a history of more than 700 years, was completely covered by pure water and dry ice.

Viscount Eris's eyesight was naturally much sharper than that of ordinary people. He could tell at a glance that, not to mention the other party's injuries, his clothes really couldn't be saved.

Fortunately, when the respectable Earl came out of the dry ice and pure water, he already had a piece of spiritual armor on his body. To put it bluntly, he used spiritual energy to create a time-effective armor for himself. From the appearance, the armor looks like it is made of glazed crystal. Apart from being too dazzling and smelling like a third-rate web game, its defense is still very strong, and its flesh will definitely not be exposed.

Viscount Erris breathed a sigh of relief. Since he can use spiritual energy to cover up his own ugliness, it only means that the injury is not serious.

If you take a closer look, Count Baoré is standing upright and breathing calmly. Except for the fact that his face has been burnt several shades of black, he really doesn't look like he has suffered a big loss.

"How about it? Is it Red Shura from the Spirit Research Association?"

"Yes, it's Natalia Elenko. My roommate at the Knight Academy had a duel with her and left a video of the fight."

"Your roommate?" the Viscount asked curiously. Before this war, the peace between the Empire and the Blue Star Community had lasted for half a century, and even if there were minor frictions, they would only remain at the level of border conflicts. But if the Astral Knights and the core disciples of the Spirit Research Association start a war, the nature will be completely different.

However, such a thing should have never happened.

"He later took over the Inquisition and became the execution judge."

Oh, wet and dry stuff! That's understandable.

"What a pity. If he hadn't been beaten to death by Elinco, how could the position of chief investigative judge go to that Kuolan?" Count Baoré sighed, wiped his face with lingering fear, and found that His manly beard was also burned off, and he suddenly showed an inexplicable look of grief.

Count Baorei said: "Red Shura is indeed well-deserved. If we fight for a few more minutes, I will definitely die."

"But, didn't you get out of the battle line safely?" Viscount Eris said.

"Hahaha, yes, if the fight continues, I will definitely die, but it should also drain her physical strength and even vitality. I am very confident in my own physical strength and innate ability."

Xing Jianguan was thoughtful.

"Yes, so he should be like me. He should be... just one step away from the next star ring." The count said. Of course he couldn't be sure, he just made a judgment based on common sense.

You know, to enter the Saint Stage of the Sixth Ring, every step forward requires even more effort and effort than the previous steps combined. How many people who were amazingly talented and beautiful when they were young have been stuck in this realm their entire lives.

More importantly, if the other party has really reached the seventh ring, he may be dead.

"However, even if I use up this life to exhaust Chi Shura's energy, the remaining young people may find it difficult to keep her. My life is beautiful, and I can die generously, but I cannot die worthless. ” Count Baorei pondered for a moment, but then calculated: “However, similarly, if any one of the seven Lingyan sons is present, I will not be able to escape. So, Hoshimiguan, Sonny Grant and Ka Lai Jin, where is he?"

"I can't feel their presence at the moment." Officer Hoshimi shrugged.

"How is the Grand Commander on the other side of the Void Realm doing now?"

"It's still a stalemate. The balance and momentum of the battle are no longer understandable to mediocre people like us."

"So, there is a high possibility that those two people are in the virtual realm, right? Indeed, Sonny Grant is the leading alchemist among the people on earth, and Kale King is a master of techniques with excellent techniques. There is no need to face If you fight against the leader and the others, you can give Lan Jiufeng assistance... Ha, you are truly worthy of being Master Lan! With two saints, you can fight against three demigods? You are worthy of being the first person under the Nine Rings." Ba. Count Aure was amazed.

Officer Hoshimi felt that this analysis was the most logical: "Indeed, although Red Shura is unparalleled in bravery, like her mentor, they are both 'Shuras' who are good at frontal combat. The two of them may not be able to form a cooperation. It would be better to stay here Come down and deal with us.”

The count nodded and said: "Go tell Commander Minontai. It is no longer possible to capture the Unity Fortress in a short time. Fortunately, we never thought of pinning all our hopes on a surprise attack, right? "

"I understand. The only one injured in the end was Commander Minontai, who planned this surprise attack. Fortunately, this fortress was originally captured by Yang Xiyi, so it is not a shame to lose."

On the other side, the eldest sister Natalia Elenko, who had just beaten a knight commander, sucked all the blazing flames and high temperatures in the passage into her mouth like a gourd baby, and she had just beaten Brother Bao. .

At this time, the community defenders looked at her as if they were on a pilgrimage.

This is the start of a pilgrimage. If you want to see your mentor in the future, wouldn’t it mean that you have to worship the Buddha?

Natalia shrugged and left the defense area to the ordinary defenders again. She then left the passage in a swagger and soon arrived at the headquarters.

She saw the big screen in the center of the headquarters at a glance, but it was the holographic structure of the Unity Fortress. Within the structural diagram, the black arrow representing the empire has stopped moving forward and begun to retreat. Red, who represented the community, took a few more steps forward and recaptured many cabins that had just been abandoned.

Even someone like Elinko, who has no military education, knows that the situation is very good. It's not a small benefit, it's really a great benefit.

She immediately saw Major General Yang Xiyi and his adjutant, Lieutenant Colonel Michel Kent, under the screen, holding a large cup of black tea.

"The Imperial Army has been out of the line of fire with our army. So far, except for the cabin we decided to abandon from the beginning, the Empire has not made any progress." Kent said.

"Where are the battle losses?" Yang Xiyi added a little brandy to the black tea.

"The battle loss ratio is about 1.2 to 1...the empire has the upper hand. However, our side is mainly dragged down by the 'allies' of the Tolon and Minlan people. To be honest, if we had not replaced the new Yumen in advance, The skeletons of laborers will be defeated by the empire if they even meet them."

Yang Xiyi heard a little bit of dissatisfaction in Kent's words: "You can't blame them. This is a matter between us and the empire. In the final analysis, it is the sin of mankind. When they cannot receive orders from their own country, they are willing to obey us. Dispatch already pays great attention to the friendship of allies."

"Indeed, at least he didn't run away. At least he surrendered after firing three rounds of gunfire and was forced by the Imperial Grenadier to prepare for hand-to-hand combat. Compared with the armies of most countries, it is already very good." Michiel Kent said sincerely commented.

Yang Xiyi held up the black tea cup: "Yes, we have already fired three rounds. What else can we expect?"

He was just about to take a few sips of pleasure when he saw Natalia Erinko walking towards him as if she didn't recognize her relatives.

"Your guess is indeed correct. The Imperial Army really came directly from the front passage! I never expected that the Imperial people are really so straightforward!"

"It's not Zangzi, but since I chose a sneak attack, I will definitely use direct means. This is probably determined by human nature." Yang Xiyi smiled and said: "So, master, are you still enjoying yourself?"

"I have never enjoyed fighting on the battlefield. Please don't call me like a murderer. I just grow the fastest during life and death, which is my way of practice. Is this still my fault? Is it okay?" She asked angrily.

"However, if my two senior brothers were still present at that time, they might be able to keep the Astral Knight." Natalia said with a hand.

Yang Xiyi smiled and said, "I thought you were more interested in fighting alone."

"This is a battlefield, not a competition. Do you think that the Spiritual Research Association is all rotten scholars? General Yang, please understand, our Spiritual Research Association is a Taoist. The so-called Tao is Tao, but it is not Tao. The so-called best is like water, so what we do is Very flexible moral bottom line!”

Is this how "Tao can be Taoized, but not Tao" and "The best is like water" are explained in this way? Mihir Kent suddenly showed a shocked expression.

"Okay, Master, I can only say that there will be this opportunity. But not now. With you all here, I even have the confidence to completely drive out the imperial army from this fortress. But we need to think about it in a longer-term direction. , the wisdom of Master Grant and Master Jin needs to be used in other places." Yang Xiyi said while nodding to Kent.

The latter used the terminal to open a small screen, which immediately reflected a large number of mighty ships. At a glance, there were hundreds of ships, at least one third of which were mighty and domineering capital ships.

Even a "civilian" like Sister Elinko can recognize the strong imperial style on those battleships at a glance.

"This is the Iris Cross Galaxy, an image from 96 hours ago. If nothing else happens, this batch of imperial fleets should arrive at the Unity Fortress within a week." Mihir explained.

"This is actually good news." Yang Xiyi said with a smile: "The good thing is that at least they are coming towards the Unity Fortress, not the direction of New Yumen."
