Him and their stars

On October 8, 832 in the Common Calendar, at 6:00 am local standard time in Sarna, Yu Lian woke up from deep sleep as accurately as a machine, yawned loudly and then regained his energy.

He passed around the clothes for the morning exercise, opened the door quietly, listened for a moment, and after confirming that the senior brother was not there, he immediately went out happily as if he had found his wallet.

There is no other way, Tantai Jing is also the type who likes to twist himself to pieces. Since I confirmed that I am a member of the Spiritual Research Association, my favorite thing to do every day is to use my morning exercise time to practice various sparring exercises, as if I want to take advantage of this time to transfer the talents of the "true disciples" of the Spiritual Research Association. The techniques learned are passed on to oneself.

Yu Lian is still very happy to see the success of this, after all, he has benefited a lot from it. However, if you have to fight with a fierce uncle every morning, you will feel a little tired after a long time.

Perhaps senior brother Lian saw Yu Lian's mood and actually let him go today.

Yu Lian, who was in a good mood, left the observation post and decided to run back and forth along the edge of the frontal defense zone of the 12th Garrison Division. This makes it about ten kilometers, and you can run back in about half an hour.

Just do it. He just stepped forward facing the coldness of the morning that had not yet dissipated.

Yu Lian had been running for less than five minutes when he saw the backs of a group of fully armed imperial soldiers wearing military power armor, advancing at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour. It should be a normal troop movement.

So early! Yu Lian thought. He looked up at the early morning sky. At this time, the darkness of the night was fading and turning gray.

What a refreshing autumn breakfast, Yu Lian thought, and then he speeded up: "On your left."

The mobile infantrymen wearing black power armor were frightened and stopped on the spot, watching as Yu Lian's back disappeared from their sight like the wind.

"It's bad luck." The captain leading the team said angrily: "The magnificent garrison, who didn't blast the barbarians who broke the heart of the silver in the Lion's Den Fortress, went to this ghost place to play monkey tricks on others?"

Yu Company ran a round trip and encountered four mobile infantry units on the road. There were as few as a dozen people and as many as a company. He even saw a mecha tank whirring and turning outside the position, constantly waving automatic mines as big as a fist on the rock and soil.

Although the explosive parts of these little things have been removed, the active enemy tracking system is still fully functioning. If it is really in actual combat, it can definitely destroy a heavy military power armor instantly. Even if it is against a heraldry machine with a mystical bonus, a few more shots will still have the desired effect.

After Yu Lian completed the ten-kilometer round trip, he ran to a deserted hill outside the observation post, practiced various combat techniques half-heartedly, and looked at the positions that Brigadier General Kebede had set up.

Their position was set up in the open space between downtown Crystal City and the abandoned factory areas and military warehouse areas on the outskirts of the city, facing the endless wilderness of the Great Pulse Plain to the northwest.

It stands to reason that General Kebede has already completed the arrangement of defensive positions, and now the entire army should be ready to do anything with ease. But now, the entire army's positions are in full swing. The old bunkers have been demolished and new firepower points have been built. All kinds of heavy weapons were pulled hard by the soldiers to the obviously newly constructed gun emplacement, and were being debugged urgently.

Under the control of General Kebed, the scene, although not chaotic, seemed extremely busy.

Looking at them like that, it was as if they had reworked the entire artillery position.

"Well, what is this, training before the war? Or did Count Seliola discover some evil spirit again?" Yu Lian couldn't think about it for the time being, and became even more curious about what would happen next.

I returned to my residence before 7 o'clock and took a shower. Then I came to the restaurant feeling refreshed.

The service personnel serving members of the military observation group are all elite teams allocated directly from the Central Logistics Department by the exercise command headquarters to ensure that every foreign guest receives treatment consistent with their status.

For example, the person in charge of the Earth delegation’s canteen is a team of five chefs. Among them, the Razakai sergeant named Lemo can actually make snacks from Jincheng, and the taste is definitely above the excellent level. At least if he opens a shop on Fu Street, he will never be ignored by the nearby neighbors. The crowd laughed at him.

Although everyone knew that all Razakai people were talented in housekeeping, Yu Lian felt that it was quite shocking to see a little man with a height of 1.3 meters skillfully operating the stove.

He had to praise the empire's style. Although this country is a hopelessly typical militaristic, racial, oppressive, feudal, authoritarian and evil regime, it is precisely because of this that it must pay attention to a sense of ritual that is awe-inspiring and virtuous. The members of the military delegation also have diplomatic status, so the empire will naturally not make any mistakes in their living treatment.

If the members of the delegation really slept on beds made of cardboard, before they could protest, the Imperial Military Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs would have entrusted the officials responsible for the reception to go mining in the Black Gate System.

The refreshed Yu Lian was the first to arrive at the restaurant, said hello to the chefs who had already started preparing, and then without hesitation ordered a portion of dandan noodles, a portion of red oil, four pieces of dragon cake and a bowl Ocean custard, a secret fried fish, a cup of honey custard, and a large plate of fruit.

This breakfast, which is a mix of the Earth Empire and the Alliance, is normally enough for four or five people, but the chefs are already used to it and quickly got busy.

Yu Lian just sat down, thought for a moment, and added another cheese steak and ham on buttered bread with two sides.

"You have a really good appetite today!" Chef Razakai said with a smile as he beat the custard with deft movements.

"I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm going to be very busy today. Of course I have to eat as much as possible when I can."

"I really envy your ability." Mr. Chef shrugged: "It would be great if you can eat a round belly while working, and you can save money on a dinner."

This older sergeant major is the so-called "technical sergeant". He can serve for life and receive a monthly salary like an ordinary office worker. If there are no overseas assignments, you can even go to and from get off work normally. Of course, he also has a military status after all. As long as he is in the military camp, he naturally does not need to spend money on food and accommodation.

Yu Lian smiled and said, "How was your son's interview?"

"I passed it yesterday. If I pass the written test next year, I can officially enroll in Sebastian Butler Academy. Haha, although the tuition is a bit expensive, as soon as I graduate, I will be hired by some master to be a butler assistant. Compared to I’m getting better at cooking every day. If I’m lucky, I can become a butler from a famous lord, which will be more respectable than the mayor of my hometown!” The head chef showed a proud expression, but then shook his head in distress. : "Isn't this the best way out for us Razakai people? I don't understand why that boy was so reluctant. He even told me that he wanted to join an outdoor study group. Hey, he is the youngest son of a chef. He used to I don’t think I’m very smart, so why don’t I still want to pass the Wisdom Palace exam?”

"Isn't it a good thing that young people have dreams? I think you should free your mind and choose according to your own wishes."

That's what I said. Who said that just because a Razakai person is called a "maid", he really has to be a servant? Who said that Razakei people can't go to Wisdom Palace University? I also think that the Razakei people, who have a population of more than 20 billion, have not even produced a single member of parliament, general, or minister for more than 2,000 years. Is this a problem?

"Hey, I don't quite understand what I'm saying. We Razakei people have been living like this for dozens of lives."

"Hahaha, after dozens of lifetimes, it doesn't mean it must be the truth!"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, that's what the little guys in town are saying now, so they set up a study group. This is what my son is going to join. Oh, by the way, you... this, when you have time Can you take a photo with me and sign your autograph?" Mr. Sergeant Major looked at Yu Lian longingly, his face full of longing.

"What's the problem? We'll sign it as soon as possible."

While Yu Lian was chatting nonchalantly with the chef, he couldn't help feeling that there was still a long way to go in awakening the minds of ordinary people in the empire!

Their observation group of three people - actually there were four people, but the only lady was not doing her job properly - had a five-person chef team, plus a ten-person orderly team, which was definitely a general-level treatment.

Only one-third of these support staff are human. After spending the past few days together, Yu Lian actually got along well with the other two-thirds of the alien race. Everyone can complain about the terrible weather in Sarna, talk about family affairs, and occasionally even talk about life and the future. Overall, it is very enjoyable.

As for the killing of the God of War Festival and tearing off the face of the Astral Knights... you must know that the divinely chosen champion has always been the brightest star in the imperial society full of martial virtue. As for what other small thoughts the senior men have in mind, how can ordinary people like them understand it? In addition, less than 30% of the current members of the Astral Knights, including knights and auxiliary personnel, are non-human, and there is not a single Razakai. Ordinary alien race lower-class citizens (cai), even if they have sympathy for the noble astral knights, they will not be too firm.

All in all, all these service members know is that it is a great honor to serve a chosen champion. What's more, this divinely chosen champion is still a very approachable and approachable adult, which makes them feel a little flattered, and their attitude is naturally closer to him. Now, I even have the courage to make jokes occasionally.

"However, you are right. Something may happen today." The head chef of the Razakai people said again.

Seeing Yu Lian's expression asking for advice, the other party flashed a look of complacency and said with a smile: "The breakfast for the Twelfth Division over there was delivered at four o'clock, and it is said that the lunch and evening meals were also delivered. They are all dry food. I have participated in four or five exercises before, and every time I look like this, I am preparing for a big war."

"Is this an order from the exercise headquarters?" Yu Lian asked.

"That's not the case, it's the request from the Twelfth Division."

Yu Lian nodded silently. At this time, the starter of his breakfast - dandan noodles and red oil noodles had been placed, so he focused on the taste.

When he finished the first dish and was eating dragon cake with egg custard, the senior brother also appeared at the door of the restaurant with a refreshed look on his face. Look at his expression as if every pore is filled with satisfaction, as if he swallowed the essence of heaven and earth and shattered the void just last night.

He was also "balanced", but he was more human than Yu Lian. He simply asked for a bowl of Yangchun noodles and a cup of tea.

"As a human being, we still need to replenish meat, eggs, and milk regularly." Yu Lian said with a smile: "The universe is very big, so there is no need to worry that eating meat, eggs, and milk in Salnado will cause the demise of a certain tropical rainforest in Mon Carlo."

This kid is good at everything, but sometimes he talks nonsense!

The senior brother sighed helplessly and said: "Before I awakened, I ate not only meat, eggs, milk, but also various supplements. I even ate Rambas energy bars as snacks. Now I am getting older. The higher the realm, the less food is needed. Many of the joys of being a human being are becoming less and less. This is probably the biggest side effect of achieving extraordinary things."

He sat on the same table with his dinner plate, and said: "You are still young now, so you don't quite understand this feeling, but you need to be vigilant in advance. When your star ring energy level reaches a certain level , the need for sleep and water becomes less and less. Even if there is no water or rice for several days and nights, they can still maintain full energy and sufficient physical strength. Many extraordinary people feel that they are not the same race as ordinary people. But , this is often the beginning of depravity. I hope you can have such an awareness now, so that your mind can stay clear. Our spiritual seminar is always people-oriented. I think this is the most worthy of the teacher. A place of pride.”

This is also the reason why the Spiritual Research Society will still maintain vitality even in the most desperate days in the future. Yu Lian thought to himself.

However, this kind of thing does not actually require special reminder from senior brother. He had seen countless examples of this in his previous life.

To be honest, just sleeping less and eating less makes me think of myself as a god. It is really difficult for Yu Lian to understand the brain circuit of such a person.

The two began to eat. The senior brother looked at Yu Lian who was enjoying his meal with a slightly envious look. He explained the reason why he was not here so early in the morning and expressed his apology.

Yu Lian didn't feel that the elder brother had anything to apologize for, but he was still very interested in his reasons.

"Are you saying that you just noticed the spiritual fluctuations nearby and thought it was the psychic array that Count Seliora was preparing to deploy, so you found a place to observe it?"

"Yes. It is a large-scale war array, but it only caused a slight psychic fluctuation when it was activated. If I hadn't launched the spiritual perception field last night, it would probably have been ignored." Dan Tai Jing touched his non-existent beard and said with a smile: "When it comes to the field of spiritual energy in war, the Empire is number one in the galaxy, so it naturally needs to be carefully observed."

Tantai Jing then told Yu Lian that based on some spiritual energy flows he felt, there should be more than one spiritual field developed by Count Seliola.

"There are at least three effects, but the flow of spiritual energy is too complicated, and I can't see it yet. Tsk... I've heard that Count Seliola is a warrior on the battlefield who can conquer thousands of armies, but I never thought that he also has something on the array. Such a method. It’s really amazing!”

The senior brother's face was full of admiration, feeling that just seeing this scene was already very satisfying.

"It's just that he turned on more than three arrays at once. There is energy interference in the flow of spiritual energy on this scale."

Yes, we have said it many times, psionic energy is also a type of energy. If there is a conflict between the energy generated by mysticism and the energy generated by science in the layout of battle formations, the former should often be given priority.

This does explain the scene just now.

However, the position that General Kebed had built three days ago was now undergoing major rework. It was impossible for the soldiers not to be resentful. The reason why he was willing to do this must be that Count Seliora's job was too exciting.

Yu Lian felt that he was like an audience waiting for the opening of a wonderful movie, and his heart was itching. Fortunately, this mood did not last long. When he had just swallowed the last bite of breakfast, he suddenly heard a fierce siren.

Both of them realized what had happened, and rushed out of the restaurant as quickly as possible without even having time to clear away the tableware.

As soon as I went out, I was shocked to find that hundreds of flaming "shooting stars" were like a meteor shower that represented a sign of great misfortune. They drew a burning scarlet trail in the early morning sky with some gray. It roared and fell to the ground.

The first ground attack of the "Honorable Mission" military exercise has begun.
