Him and their stars

First of all, the so-called "Heroic Spirit Army" is not something that sounds particularly religious and metaphysical, such as the incarnation of the soul fragment of the ancient dead hero. Their existence is actually the result of the powerful spirit, fighting spirit and even murderous intent of the psyker. They are a concrete manifestation of the impact of spirit on reality.

To put it more clearly, you can completely understand them as the "sword energy" in the adult form.

However, what we need to know is that in this exaggerated universe, the more powerful the psychic skills, the more gorgeous the sound and light effects will be. Now even these "sword energy" can be transformed into refined form, you can imagine how sharp it is.

The concrete appearance of the heroic spirit military force has a lot to do with the strength of the caster, but it has more to do with his outlook and taste. So, here comes the question, how does this giant armored knight heroic spirit, which is as gorgeous as a game boss, reflect the aesthetic taste of Duke Sartolan?

...It seems that now is not the time to consider this kind of problem.

In short, we need to calm down and analyze the existing specific problems in detail.

First of all, what must be understood is whether Duke Sadolan is really planning to kill himself here.

Duke Sadolan's current image is that of an amiable old pervert, and he has gradually faded out of the political core, looking like he is waiting to retire. However, this guy is an irrefutable human supremacist and militarist at heart. He has always believed that in order to win, all evil deeds can be forgiven. When he was young, in order to quell the Mon Carlo uprising, he ordered a direct orbital bombing of a planet inhabited by more than one billion people.

The bombing that lasted for three days destroyed the Mon Carlo uprising in an instant. The only losses suffered by the Imperial Army were that two stormtroopers sprained their legs due to errors in operating their power armor during the landing.

However, the "result" was the lives of 970 million Mon Carlo people, including not only rebel soldiers, but also a large number of civilians, old, young, women and children.

Another 10,000 imperial expatriates were "accidentally killed" during the bombing. The Mon Carlo rebels were originally prepared to take them as hostages, but they were completely unable to shake Duke Sadolan's determination.

"That's the price that has to be paid."

"Not compromising with terrorists is interstellar common sense!"

This is what he said when faced with questions from the elders of the Royal Council.

In short, this is definitely a cruel and ruthless demon who kills Yingye. He is cruel to his enemies and of course even more cruel to his own people.

If Mr. Lan hadn't taken action in time, this guy would probably have done the same thing to the people on earth again.

Thinking about it now, Mr. Lan must have really wanted to kill Duke Sadolan on the spot. It's a pity that the situation at that time was very urgent and the conditions did not allow the old man to make up for the last fatal blow.

And this Duke Sadura, who was too old to die but was a thief, was indeed very lucky. Even though half of his body was removed, and his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were all smashed to pieces by the sword energy, he still managed to survive until the end of the empire. Rescue arrived and he was put into a petri dish in time to save his life.

Then, an eight-ring boss with surging vitality slowly aged into what he is now.

...Well, from this point of view, the psyker's biological theory that my beloved relatives and friends mentioned at the beginning does not seem to be completely unreasonable.

In short, in terms of personal grievances, Duke Sadolan certainly has reasons to hate Mr. Lan, the Spiritual Research Society, and Yu Lian, a "closed disciple" that Mr. Lan has never seen. It is reasonable to want to kill him. of.

In addition, according to some rumors, Duke Sadolan's biggest obsession now is that he lost to Mr. Lan, and he still lost without a chance. Therefore, he has been concentrating on enlightenment and sharpening his sword heart for decades. After he officially retires, he will go to find Mr. Lan for a decisive battle and end the biggest inner demon in his life.

Therefore, it makes sense to give Mr. Lan a show of strength before the decisive battle.

One thing to say is that the Tirero people are indeed a very upright nation with a clear distinction between love and hate, especially their traditional military aristocrats, who never bother to hide their thoughts, even if they engage in genocide, they are upright. Now he wants to kill the enemy's descendants, which sounds very reasonable.

However, Yu Lian quickly denied this possibility.

Duke Sadolan is indeed not a serious person, but he is still an extraordinary boss who has been famous for half a century. Even if he really has no martial ethics, he will not trick me into his own spiritual realm and dispatch the heroic army. I am a quarter of his junior at my age, right?

What's more important is that question. This is the White Tree Palace, the territory of King Brunhilt of Sulyuka.

Although she is the youngest among the elected emperors, she is a genius who has already won the Ares Festival championship at the age of twelve, and she is also the direct great-great-granddaughter of Emperor Elithel. Probably because he lost his parents at a young age, he has always been favored by the emperor. He actually has a very special status among the highest power levels of the empire.

It was impossible for Duke Sadulan to kill the guests she personally invited in her palace without giving face to King Suryuka.

What is his purpose?

Perhaps, this should be a kind of temptation?

His disciples and grandsons of the Astral Knights were going to participate in the God of War Festival. Perhaps their original plan was just to find a training opportunity that was infinitely close to actual combat, so that the God of War Festival could return to its original appearance. However, when they heard that Yu Lian was participating, it was another matter.

In order to restore the dignity they lost in the Far Shore Nebula, the arrogant star knights will not miss this great opportunity to kill Yu Lian. They also knew that Yu Lian must know.

However, Yu Lian estimated that the imperial soldiers who had evacuated from the Far Shore Nebula had already been informed of the battle situation in detail. It must not be a secret that Yu Lian beheaded Marquis Odegaard on the spot with one move.

This is very disturbing.

Among the Astral Knights, Marquis Odegaard is certainly not top-notch in terms of martial arts and psychic talents, but he must be among the hardest-working in training and practice. The Astral Knights purely rely on their own hard power, and he can be ranked in the top two hundred among the regular knights.

...Then, he was killed by Yu Lian.

To put it bluntly, there are quite a few astral knights who can kill Marquis Odegaard in seconds, but they are basically masters who have been famous for a long time. Among astral knights under the age of thirty, the only one who can do this is the much-anticipated genius child, Viscount Shameen of Hope.

Thirty years old is the upper limit of age for participating in the God of War Festival.

You know, the God of War Festival is a stage full of surprises and fun. Because it is unexpected, it is cruel, so it is interesting. In this arena, all prey can become predators at any time.

Those who went to participate in the God of War Festival this year were all young heroes of the Knights. If they were hunted down one by one by Yu Lian, even with the empire's talent pool, it would be painful.

So, old guy Sadulan should be trying to find out my true strength?

He probably thought he could try it out. After all, a "genius" who has soared to the fourth ring in less than a year, although extremely talented, must have an unstable foundation. This is common sense in occult science.

It is really difficult for a young psyker with an unstable foundation to remain calm when faced with the crushing force of powerful combat techniques such as the Heroic Spirit Army. If these armored giants, who looked like bosses in a AAA action game, really fed back some of Duke Sadolan's murderous intent, it would be difficult for a normal psyker to remain calm in the face of the abyss-like pressure.

No, aren't these big guys already rushing towards me with swords, spears, swords and halberds that are three to four meters tall?

Any normal person with a functioning brain would probably have only one idea when faced with that murderous intent, and try their best to resist to the end. Anyone who hesitates at all or even holds back will definitely be killed.

But once my abilities are fully activated, in the eyes of Duke Sadolan, what secrets will I have left? Wouldn't it be possible that he would completely master my physique, average strength, maximum absolute strength, agility, physical fitness, my best martial arts and psychic skills, my psychic strength, and even my habits and flaws in combat?

Then, at the God of War Festival, when I was besieged by the Astral Knights, could I still have any trump cards?

Is this the purpose of Duke Sadolan?

Haha, that old guy would never dare to kill him! As long as he didn't kill anyone, even if he faced King Suliuka's cross-examination afterwards, he could still argue that they were discussing matters.

Isn't it reasonable for a noble man with great military virtue and military virtue to be eager to start a fight when he sees a talented young man?

As a result, facing those menacing heroic warriors, Yu Lian felt relieved. He knew that if the other party really wanted to kill him, he would never use such a mobilizing method.

Then, I will follow the original rhythm, resist moderately, and then suffer some losses appropriately. Yu Lian sneered in his heart, then looked at the straw around him that had grown higher than his ankles. He picked it up among the haystacks and felt the cold touch that made him feel refreshed.

After all, Yu Lian was here to attend the banquet, so it was naturally impossible for him to carry weapons with him. However, he does know that in the spiritual world, material representations are also constructed through his own mental power and imagination.

Of course, after all, he was in the spiritual realm of Sadulan, and was suppressed by the old guy's murderous intent. He still couldn't come up with a Noble Phantasm-level weapon that was too high and too powerful. Moreover, even if he did, it would be difficult to explain himself. How could this newcomer, who had only been on the extraordinary path for a year with no background, know the existence and structure of so many precious phantoms?

So, just go with what you like.

Yu Lian pulled hard from the grass, and with one hand he lifted up a large six-tube iron lump. Naturally, it was his favorite Gatling, and it was also blue-fired.

"Times have changed!" Yu Lian laughed.

Then, one of the huge armored warriors danced the giant sword in his hand into a windmill, easily deflecting the storm of bullets that roared out.

"...It's because of guys like you that times keep jumping left and right!"
