The Star Knight

The first day of Opal's return to the grip of the light was a cloudy day, the rain was pouring, and the new Phoenix was shrouded in a cloud.Allen personally waited on the central helipad with administrative staff to unload the signal meter.

Meteor Star Empire military and political integration, all government affairs are performed by the military logistics department, civilian senior executives are directly under the command of the four major legions, the capital ground forces are directly under the jurisdiction of Korolin, usually under the command of Major General Allen, Opal carrying a broad sword , Walking next to Allen, Opal is now only 140 cm. Allen had to bow his head slightly when talking to him.

"The teacher asked me to cooperate with you." Opal said: "Winning the upcoming battle."

Allen said: "If you replace your Majesty's war, the morale of the whole army will unprecedentedly rise. I will take a look at the list of troops for you later."

Opal said: "No, I believe whoever you believe, when will the operational deployment meeting begin?"

Allen said: "Your Majesty sent a communication on the Avengers, let us prepare now, the preliminary estimate will be held in three days after the All-Star Defense Battle."

Opal nodded and said, "I will stay in New Phoenix during this time."

Allen gave Opal a communicator and said, "What is the trend, please contact me at any time."

Opal patted Allen's arm and smiled: "Then the next day, we will take care of each other, comrades."

Allen smiled and said, "Please take care of me."

Opal was in a good mood. He returned to the highest level of the Meteor Palace and stood by the fountain to look down on the entire city of New Phoenix. Everything was in order under the rainy and rolling sky, and the whole city was thriving.

Assisting the Grip of Light to defend against the Republic’s incursions does not violate the task assigned to him by Rector. I just don’t know when Rector will take the initiative to contact him-now the dragon rays are in the cosmic space not far from Iszul .

Perhaps even Rector could not have imagined that the empire that Korolin had built had reached this scale.Opal couldn't help thinking what would happen if Rector wanted to take the empire after the destruction of Caroline.

[You are his only heir.] Rector’s voice sounded in his mind: [Everything can only be left to you.

Opal suddenly tense up, looking up at the sky, the thick clouds dissipated, a few beams of light were thrown towards the New Phoenix behind the clouds, and the whole city was full of life, and the land after the rain had refracted the sun under the hot sun.

A spot of light flashed in the blue sky behind the dark clouds.

Opal: [Teacher?where are you?

Rector’s voice is clearer than before: [I’m just outside the Iszul galaxy. Caroline didn’t come back with you. What is his plan?

Opal walked over to the fountain and sat down, replied: [He said he planned to go to the base of the ship and steal the gluttony. Where is the gluttony?

After a short silence, Rector said: [Sure enough, he has thrown himself in the net, which is more direct than I thought. Ledgerson has used his power on the bottom of the ship and has already set up the Tian Luo Di net to wait for him.

Opal: [Will he die?

Rector: [No, I promise you will not.

Opal relaxed, and the haze that had been on his heart for a long time disappeared, saying: [Thank you, teacher.

Rector: [Ledgerson will ask the Pope to put him in the prison of the Holy See. If you are free, you can go and see him.

Opal was quiet for a while and asked: [How long will he be shut down?

Rector: [Perhaps forever, we intend to let him reflect in the Star Holy See until he changes himself.Apart from the base of the ship, does he have any other plans?I think he should have left behind. Now we can't make any mistakes. We must be step by step and careful.

Opal: [Yes, he guessed that gluttony was in Ledger’s hand, otherwise it was in your hand.If you can’t get gluttons in Legacy, he will prepare to divide troops in the war and divide the two aircraft carriers to attack the silver-gray galaxy, so that the wind will play, and you will also support them. He wants to lead you to the Republic. On the site, use the environment to contain you, and then get gluttonous...]

Rector: [He is too arrogant, I don’t believe he can beat the demeanor.

Opal: [Isohn also said that this is a dangerous move.

Opal said nothing more, and Rector said: [The Republic is about to invade Iszul, what are your plans?

Opal asked: [I don’t know, he asked me to stay here to assist Allen in deploying ground defense. What should I do?

Rector: [Then you continue to stay in the grip of the rotating light and stabilize him.

Opal yelled, and Rector added: [After he is imprisoned, you will become the next king of the Meteor Empire.This is also arranged by Ledgerson, and the burden will be on you.

Opal: "..."

Rector: [I suggest you dismiss this galaxy and put it under the power of the republic or empire.If you have no intention of maintaining the current situation, I will also take you away, let Iszul live on its own, and everything will come to an end.

Opal: [I think about it again.

Rector: [Our mission is coming to an end. Collorin may be on the bottom of the ship.Otherwise, he will end his emperor's career in the Silver Grey Galaxy, and the Star Temple will remember everything you have done.

Opal didn't answer. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to export. After a long time, he asked: [Why did he attack the Silver Grey Galaxy?

Rector: [Because it is the hometown of Karens, Levi, Simmons and Tifen, Titian will definitely play.

Opal looked up at the sky, and Rector said: [Stay here, Opal, tell me your choice after the war.I got a trip to the base of the boat, prepared.

Opal nodded, and then realized that Rector could not see his movements, and when he wanted to speak again, the contact between the two had been broken.

He lay by the fountain for a while, thinking about many things, thinking about Raymond, thinking about Azeroth, thinking about the dead gray wolf, and the comrades and brothers of the once mercenary country were very far away from him, leaving only one vague. Outline, but he still remembered it.

He got up and ran into the palace and entered the library. Colleen might not come back, so he had to hurry up and do his own thing.

He opened the information searcher and typed into the vast ocean of books: copying technology.

A large line of characters flashed on the light screen: No retrieval content was found.

Opal entered again: Ivory Tower No. 2 Proving Ground.

The result is still: the search content was not found.

Opal frowned slightly, but Colleen did not retain any information about this?Are you afraid of Rector discovering?But he is now the king of the meteorite, even if the secret research and development copy person will not be traced, right?

Perhaps he was afraid that the development of replicator technology would cause unanimous resistance from all member countries of the Star Alliance, and cause the Empire and the Republic to attack him together?This is possible.

Opal gave up the idea of ​​making Raymond technology and planned to ask him after everything was over.

If Rector succeeds, he will seize Caroline in the Holy See, and what should he do next?

After so much experience, Opal can’t afford to take too much of the adventure, the passion for the future, maybe Caroline will be very angry because of his betrayal...but he is well prepared.He is still grateful to Rector, after all, he did not put him in a dilemma, which may be the best way to kill Caroline.

Go to accompany him outside the prison of the Holy See?Atonement with him?By that time, many questions that can't be asked now can be asked, including Raymond who has sacrificed... If it can, can Ledgerson lose the memory of Raymond to Colleen?So that means Raymond is resurrected?But Raymond used to be Collorin, but he had more memories of Raymond, who was it?

His thoughts were messed up, and he sat in the palace for a while, then realized that it was not time to think about it, and went out for a walk.

He entered Carolyn's room, planning to find a suit to wear. When he opened the closet, he found that it was full of new clothes made for him, each of which was branded and marked ten years old, Eleven years old, twelve years old...until eighteen years old.

Opal was silent for a moment, and took out a set, which was similar in appearance to Colleen's robe-black to knee gown, buttons tied from the neckline to the hem, black trousers.

The simple robe style, Opal looks into the mirror, just like the reduced version of Caroline, his hair is a little long, he calls home service robot, cut his hair very short and very spirited, and returned to Meteor after lunch Building, enter New Phoenix.

All the soldiers I saw along the way were saluting him. Opal nodded to them and went to the lobby on the first floor. I asked someone: "When I arrived at the Grip of the First Day, a soldier sent me to a new place. Phoenix..."

The civil servant called up the records of the day and said: "Lieutenant Robin, who belongs to the Capital Guards of the Meteor Legion and the 208th Team of the Seventy-one Army, will let him come here immediately.

Opal said: "No, where is he?"

Civilian officials consulted the records and said: "His troops are in charge of the Sixth West Zone and are on duty in the Andchios Mountains."

Opal asked for the address and said, "Give me a suspension car, and I plan to go for a walk."

The floating car waited outside the Meteor Star Building, Opal got on the car alone, threw the big sword in front of the car, and drove around the city for the first time after he arrived at the grip of the swirling light. The kingdom of Korolin.

The new Phoenix is ​​very different from what he imagined, and it feels like a replica of a place... the star.

"Would you like some coffee?" the owner of the beverage shop asked: "Little boy, this car doesn't look like your own. Where did you get it from?"

Opal smiled and got out of the car into the Garden Beverage Shop. He saw a soldier who was chatting with a Qingxiu teenager for tea. When the two saw him, the officer sat slightly in the position and saluted.

The teenager asked the officer with a smile, expecting to ask him what kind of person, but the officer laughed and laughed at him. Opal ordered a cup of coffee to see the road outside. It had just rained, the road was wet, and the air was full of freshness.

"Is it spring now?" Opal said: "Why are there no robot attendants here?"

"Most of the new Phoenix is ​​human services." The boss said: "Are you a foreigner?"

Opal laughed: "I just stayed in school too long, just came out to breathe."

"This is local coffee." Another woman next door said, "It tastes good. If you like it, you can take it back and try it for your parents."

Opal politely said: "Thank you, but I have no parents, only a teacher."

The guests in the garden restaurant looked at him and laughed.

After drinking coffee, Opal pulled out the card and settled the bill. By the way, he bought a package of coffee powder. The boss said: "It's a good day today, and I wish you happiness!"

"Thank you." Opal left with a smile, walked on the road, the clothing store was discounted, he went in again and looked around, feeling that the life here is very leisurely, almost all men have a military temperament, walk, talk Decisive, succinct, do not drag mud and water.

There are no towering buildings on the Chiyan galaxy, nor the high-tech buildings like the source of floodlights. New Phoenix’s technology penetration is just right. The central military and political district has laid a light track. However, in the outer cities, the light track is reduced in height and changed Urban railway, docking with the ground.The folk house is also a warm and clean retro style. The cleaning robot is decorated as a clumsy large capsule, and there are still fallen leaves under the fence on the roadside.

The tallest building in the entire commercial street has only four floors, with canvas sheds, neatly arranged flower pots, fragrant soil and flowers.

Opal almost thought the flowers were fake. He didn't find it until he looked closer.

"Do you want seeds?" the young boss wearing an apron asked kindly.

Opal waved his hand and the boss said again: "Bring some bread. The Imperial Army often buys cakes from us to give to lovers. Where do you want to go?"

Opal went into the store and bought a cake. The boss asked him, "Would you like to visit relatives?"

Opal said: "Uh, it is."

The boss asked: "Your brother is serving?"

Opal laughed: "My...uncle."

The boss said: "You can go to the Army Welfare Institute to play atomic billiards with the soldiers for a while. There are many activities on holidays."

Opal nodded his thanks, came out and passed a music school. He stood outside and looked inwards. The security robot was beeping. A girl said, "Do you want to come in and listen?"

Opal couldn't be busy, he felt like a strange alien on this planet, and it was not very compatible with its atmosphere. The roadside guy occasionally walked over with a smile on his shoulders and saw something funny. Laughing together, then whistling at the young girl.

A handsome sergeant holding a military cap waited for the bus on the corner of the street, hugged his beloved girl, and the two darted against the nose bridge.

"I'm going to work." The sergeant said.

"Come back early." the girl smiled.

Opal drove and asked, "Where are you going? Will you take a ride?"

"Thank you!" The sergeant smiled and said: "Seven Districts in the Southwest. Are you going the way?"

Opal said: "I have a lot of time, come out to shop."

The girl waved at them, and the sergeant got into the car and yelled, "This is the car of the Capital Guards Army. We are ourselves. Is your father or brother serving in the Central Army?"

Opal set the route, and the non-commissioned officer clicked on his office. Opal smiled: "It's true, he works at the Meteor Star Building. I haven't had time to accompany me recently, so let me drive his car."

The noncommissioned officer wore a military cap, leaned on his shoulders, shook the car window, and felt the warm spring breeze, saying, "Which institution? Is it civilian?"

Opal said: "I don't know, he... works on the top of the building, a very high place, hehe."

The non-commissioned officer said: "It must be a senior official. I can also boast about the relatives who know the senior official when I go back. What is the name?"

Opal Road: "Korolin."

Sergeant: "..."

Opal: "..."

Sergeant: "Ha ha ha ha--"

Opal: "Hey, hey, just kidding."

The non-commissioned officer said to himself, "Interesting."

When the car arrived, the sergeant pushed open the door and got out of the car, saying: "Going north again is the Celian River. Are you here to visit relatives? Will you stay in New Phoenix for a few days?"

Opal Road: "It should be a long time."

The noncommissioned officer came over and entered the code for his communicator, saying: "I take a rest on Thursday and Friday. I usually have nothing to do to come to play with me. I can go to the 17th army and find Gran, and then I will take you to the boat."

Opal Road: "Sure."

Opal bids farewell to Nagrand and repositions to the southwest six districts. The grip of the light is divided by latitude and longitude. The sides of the equator are divided into north and south. The areas are divided and everything is in order.

There was a rolling mountain range. Opal drove into the mountain and found that there were many villages along the way. There were many antennas and iron towers on the green hills. There was a post in the front of the mountain. Opal announced his identity. The other party was startled and saluted him.

"Welcome to inspect, Your Highness." The sentry said politely: "Now call the person in charge for you."

"No, there is no need to find the person in charge." Opal read his inner thoughts and said, "Where is Robin? I went to see him."

The sentinel gave the position, and Opal drove the car into the valley. A ribbon-like river flowed through the valley, converged outside the valley, and irrigated the vegetation on the entire plain. There were several factories in the mountain, and the sound of the hammer was far away. Coming, not knowing what was being produced, his maglev vehicle landed outside a huge base platform, where an officer was standing and was talking to his team members.

Many soldiers looked up at the maglev vehicle that landed in the sky, and Robin said: "Everything is in place!"

The soldiers went back to the cave one after another, Opal cleared the window and smiled, "Robin!"

Robin looked a little surprised. It took a while to recognize Opal and smiled: "How did you get smaller?"

Opal scratched his head and said, "It's a long story. I'm on vacation today. By the way, come and see you. What are you doing?"

Forty-five black mechas flew out of the military base, spewing flames, rushing towards the bottom of the canyon and landing one after another.

Robin raised his hand and said to the communications director: "You only have ten minutes."

The mech scattered into the canyon and began to run. Robin explained to Opal: "Ground combat training, what good things did you bring me?"

Opal gave him bread and coffee powder, and Robin went over to the marching stove. The two of them made coffee in high places. Robin said: "Are you in the new Phoenix office? Last time there were too many words to ask. That fantasy star..."

Opal laughed: "Yes, I now study with His Majesty Colleen."

Robin's eyes were full of admiration and envy, shaking his head in sorrow.

Opal said: "He is not on the planet now, so he sneaks out to play."

Robin said positively: "It's not a good habit to skip classes."

Both laughed. Opal talked to Robin about the general things these days. Robin listened a little stunned, saying: "Unexpectedly, it is really a dream of many people to learn with your majesty for a lifetime."

"Yeah." Opal smiled. "I'm lucky, I think the teacher is very kind to me."

Robin said: "He is a very responsible man, and very powerful."

Opal wanted to know what Colleen looked like in other people's eyes. He was curious: "Is he not strict with you? Actually, I thought he was a very dark person before I came to the grip of the swirling light. "

Robin said with a smile: "He will only do this to the enemy, but how about his subordinates and allies? We have all delivered our lives to him, ready to sacrifice for him at any time, the welfare of the Empire is very good."

Opal nodded, the recruits returned, and Robin said: "It is impossible to be kind to the enemy, because kindness to the enemy is cruel to his own people."

Opal said: "But his approach to the star is too...hey."

Robin said: "That group of mercenaries were busy with their business and killed the Blackhawks first."

Opal shuddered.

The soldiers came back. Robin got up to speak, and analyzed the mistakes of the Mecha team one by one, and sent them new training programs. This time it was two hours. Come over and sit down and continue to drink coffee.

"Will you be able to drive a mech?" Opal asked another question.

Robin said: "Of course, my mecha training is the highest score of 2,000 operators in the whole team. Do you want to try my mecha?"

Opal said: "Will I be too small?"

Robin thought of it, and then he smiled and comforted: "Your Majesty must have prepared a suit for you. I heard that he grabbed one from the star last time..."

Opal remembered Nolan's Phoenix and said, "Have you seen it?"

Robin said: "No."

Opal frowned: "Where is it, do you know?"

Robin thought for a while and said, "It is said that the military base in Changhai lacks energy and cannot be operated. Have you not seen it?"

Opal said: "No." He vaguely inferred something-the space under the throne of Caroline is not a phoenix, which means that the possibility of the existence of Raymond's laboratory is one more point. .

Opal said, "What does it look like? Can you show me?"

Robin said: "I don't have enough authority to go in and out. Do you like mecha?"

Opal said: "It's okay, the teacher didn't teach me these..."

Robin took the initiative to say: "I will take you to play."

Robin opened the remote control, and the warehouse door opened slowly. Inside was his mecha, which was beautifully designed, and had the captain's logo on the steel arm.

Opal Road: "It's beautiful."

Robin said: "This mech is developed by ourselves, the intensity is not God's domestic photon 3700 and the Republic's Galaxy U7, but the short-term explosive power is higher than them, so when facing the enemy, you need to make a quick decision."

Opal Road: "Endurance is not right."

Robin murmured and said, "The Ministry of Science and Technology is developing new refueling tanks. They are on another planet. My father is from the institute."

Robin took off his military coat, only wearing a shirt, and turned Opal into the cockpit, the sensor lock handcuffed them together.

Robin puts on the information sight and starts the mecha. Opal yells excitedly. When he raises his hand, Robin will raise his hand. The two manipulate the mecha to run in the canyon, then turn on the thruster and fly to the plain.

Every time Opal touched the mech, he was as happy as an unrestrained child. Robin took him to play for a while, summoned his team members, and started fighting.

More than forty meteor mechs took turns, Opal said: "Give me control."

His body was close to Robin, with Robin action, like a gust of wind traveling through the mech team. Meteor mech is very fast. Opal has operated the photon 3700 and is not very comfortable.

"You did a great job!" Robin said in surprise: "Have you really not learned?"

Opal laughed: "Just stole from you."

Robin laughed, his chest fluctuated with his breath, and said, "How did you do it? Can you judge the opponent's behavior?"

"It's pure instinct." Opal said: "I can guess a little."

The Mechs opened the cabin doors one after another, and Robin came out with sweat. As the sun went down, the canyon was full of red light.

"Quiet, now go to the base and rest for ten minutes to prepare for dinner." Robin said: "Start here after dinner, walk through the canyon, and arrive at the barracks before ten o'clock. Stand up and disband on the spot!"

The soldiers stood upright, saluted, and disbanded.

Robin took the coat and took Opal to dinner. The soldiers rested for a while. After dinner, they lined up by the canyon. The deputy captain took them to run at night and ran out of the plain along the Celian River.

Opal's mind was full of scenes where soldiers left the mech. He vaguely remembered the vigorous battle in the battle for the protection of the stars. At that time, there was one such mech soldier in each mech.

They may be like the non-commissioned sergeant named Gran, or like Robin, with his team members to fight bloody in order to fulfill Caroline's ideals.

"Actually, I don't like war." Opal, with his big sword on his back, jumped down the rocks of the canyon with Robin and left the other way.

Robin said with a smile: "Your Majesty also said that the most ideal situation is that everyone does not fight, and each has his own. Unfortunately, that is impossible."

Opal said: "Why? I think everyone does not interfere with each other, there is peace in the universe, isn't it good?"

Robin said: "He said that war will always be inevitable, and everyone will get what they deserve after ending everything, including his bloody hands..."

Opal was startled.

"I don’t know what kind of society you envision, but I think what he said... This is a bit ominous, forget, maybe you can change some of your majesty’s views, I would rather he just kidding, come, go Here."

"What about him? What kind of society does he want to build?" asked Opal.

Robin took Opal off the stone and smiled, "You don't know the name of our troops? Meteor Legion, Meteorite Empire. He wants to extinguish all the stars, make more Iszul, and make all humans in the universe. Living around artificial stars."

Opal frowned: "Why? Extinguish all the stars?!"

Robin said: "Scientists say that he is the real lunatic, but my dad likes his ideals. Many people don't understand, and he is too lazy to explain to others."

Opal said: "If he wants to annex the empire and the republic...I believe this, but extinguish all the stars..."

Robin said: "My dad is from the Institute of Science. He said that he doesn't need to do this, as long as he extinguishes nearby giant stars that may affect Iszul."

Opal said: "Why, isn't it good now?"

Robin said: "My dad said that stars are the only threat to mankind, they are the source of all mutations and devastating natural disasters, and it is impossible to predict its anger..."

Opal said: "It will not have anger, after all, the star is not alive, and it will not be because of feelings and preferences..."

Robin said: "This is just a metaphor, just like we said that bad weather is God's fire, as long as a star suddenly accelerates a 1% thermonuclear reaction, it can burn all the life on the planet. Has this ever happened? Archaeologists speculate that there are other human civilizations before us, all of which died because of a star radiation. At least the place where we live is the safest, because Iszul is made by humans Star, it will not change too drastically."

Opal suddenly remembered one thing, stars also have souls.

"The star is indeed alive." Opal said.

"That's what the Star Holy See says." Robin said: "They feel that stars are the true creators, because it provides the conditions for the initial production of life-light and heat."

He opened the maglev car, let Opal in, and drove downstream in the water.

The lights of the distant city flickered, and Opal and Robin flew towards New Phoenix, and the villages on the earth were full of lights.The suspension vehicle stopped outside the Maisui military barracks, and Opal's communicator rang.

"This is the headquarters of the New Phoenix Capital Defense Army. Major General Allen asked to speak with you," the secretary's voice said.

Opal: "What's the matter? Allen."

Allen: "Lieutenant General Andore is back. I don't know if you would like to meet him."

Opal: "Oh, of course, anytime."

Allen told the secretary around him: "Now arrange for them."

Opal: "Is there anything else?"

Allen: "There are several mineral planet agents from the Milky Way and a high-ranking officer of Aquamarine who wants to meet with His Majesty and is waiting."

Opal thought about it. Collorin said that when he was away, the Meteorite Empire was fully represented by him, but Opal had not been in contact with these. What needs to be done?He pondered for a moment and suddenly realized that there was only one person in the entire empire who could read minds, which meant that he didn’t need to do anything, as long as he called visitors who came to visit Ye and read their hearts. To understand their purpose and put forward cooperation requirements.

"Let visitors wait in the sky garden." Opal said: "I will see them in person."

Robin opened the door and said, "Is there government affairs?"

"I have to go back first." Opal nodded. "Handle diplomatic matters for the teacher."

Robin smiled and clapped his hands and said, "There is time to come and play."

Opal said helplessly: "It may not take vacation until the end of the war."

"We will win." Robin said: "Goodbye."

Opal and Robin, respectively, drove to New Phoenix.
