Xun really came back, and the signature of the last S-rank mercenary he lacked has not been obtained. But Haitang promised him that he would return to Lie Xing during this time, and assist Xun to fight together and let him sit on the throne.
Lily will also return, and all will return, overthrowing the reign of the Wrench and expelling the Imperials from the mercenary territory. During this period of time, the Wrench has increased its search efforts, but the guerrilla tactics of the mercenaries are more sophisticated than that of the Wrench. Unlike some cities in the Republic and the Empire, which have city-wide surveillance, almost all mercenaries are using them here. The most primitive way of messaging—secret chat, the spies of the imperial faction can’t get in, and the mercenaries don’t use the planet Internet to transmit messages, so there’s no way they can be dealt with.
The politics promoted by Azeroth caused the entire Fierce Star to be unorganized and undisciplined. The status of S-class mercenaries is not much higher than that of recruits, and senior mercenaries cannot directly issue orders to low-level mercenaries. They use regiments as units and only follow Commander's order. This is a thought that has been gradually accumulated over thousands of years, and it is deeply rooted and cannot be changed.
They only believe what they believe, and refuse to take orders from anyone, and they are not willing to accept any explanation from the wrench. Every time when the wrench speaks, the mercenaries only regard him as rhetoric and appeasement, and the purpose is to sell the strong star to empire.
"Everyone will come back." Asa said, "Waiting fast, he asked me to pick you up. Now only a few people know where he is. This is the greatest trust they can show in you."
Opal glanced at Raymond, and Raymond said, "Do you have a station?"
Asa said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Raymond asked, "How many other members are there?"
Asa said: "Uncle Martin and I, the position of the head of the regiment has been vacant. Cullens was the deputy head of the regiment for a period of time. He went back to the Republic and said that he would come back after a while. During this time, the position of the deputy head of the regiment was Temporarily replaced by Uncle Martin."
"Is there a station?" Opal asked, "There should also be a spaceship, right?"
"Yes." Asa said, "But hiding in the ground, it's a..."
Raymond said, "Imperial ships."
Asa said, "That's right, Times VI."
Opal said: "Let's put aside the war and take us to see it."
Lecter said: "Opal, I won't go. The teacher wants to meet Refina. It's better to meet with fame. Maybe she can provide advice on many things."
Opal nodded and said, "So where do we meet?"
"I'll contact you, and I don't want to reveal my identity, you know," Recht said.
Opal knew that Recht didn't want to show up in front of Xun and Sid. After all, the person he was waiting for was Kyle Ray, and he didn't want to interfere in Lie Xing's internal affairs. If Recht was known by too many people here, then Kai It is difficult to prevent Erlei from appearing again.
Lecter said goodbye to the two of them and left the restaurant to go to the City of War Soul. He also has the identity of an adventurer, and he will not be too embarrassed to enter the sphere of influence of the Imperial faction. Opal and Raymond got into Asa's car and left Sunlight City. .
The suspended car drove towards the lightning rod in the rainstorm and sank into the forest area outside Sunlight City. Opal said, "Going to the Mirror of Aurora?"
Asa said: "Yes, the headquarters of the Bloodbath Army, you are the guests of Lie Xing. It is true that Xun really trusted the two of you to take you to the headquarters."
Neither Raymond nor Opal made a sound, and Asa asked again, "I heard that you rescued Xun and Yindao on the Sphinx?"
Raymond didn't answer, but instead asked, "Where's the kidnapped child?"
Asa said: "The child is the cousin of Douglas, the chairman of the Big Astronautical Society, and the nephew of the head of the division of the Empire in the Big Astronautical Society. Now... It is said to be very confusing."
Raymond said: "Beside the wrench?"
Opal frowned and said, "Has been found by the wrench?! Why didn't you say it?"
"You didn't give me a chance to say it at all," Raymond said.
Opal breathed a sigh of relief, the matter had not reached the point where it could not be resolved at all, he asked again, "Where's Yinyao?"
Asa's expression was a little hesitant, and then he said: "I don't know the situation of Yinyao, you can ask Sid... It's here, it's here."
The suspension car drove into the Aurora Mirror. The canyons of the mountains were filled with ravines eroded by weathered gravel and glaciers. Lightning flashes like a horned dragon rolling on the ceiling. The rainstorm merged into waterfalls, roaring and tumbling down from the cliffs. It rushed through the Grand Canyon, rushed to the alluvial plain downstream, rushed out of the power of the sky and the earth under the sudden drop of the terrain, circled the Turbulence Fort for a thousand miles, and finally merged into the Twilight Lake.
The Mirror of Aurora spans nearly 10,000 kilometers, like a huge scar on a fierce star. The canyons are surrounded by canyons, the mountains are stacked with mountains, and the natural labyrinth formed by the fracture surfaces of the rock formations is intricate. It is indeed the best place for mercenaries to hide. Asa turned on the underwater mode, levitated the car into the water, descended at the bottom of the roaring river, entered an inconspicuous cave, and then passed out of the underground Hanoi, shuttled through the dark underground space, I don't know how long it took, when the first light appeared , the front checkpoint said: "Who? Show me the mercenary diary."
Asa handed out the mercenary diary and said, "The two guests Sid is looking for, here is the pass."
The guard looked down at Opal and Raymond and said, "Hello, please come in."
After the hovering car passed the level, Opal heard the guard say to his companion, "Why do you feel like a fierce star? Do adventurers wear this costume too?"
Raymond smiled helplessly, Asa smiled and said, "You are very much like Lie Xing's comrades in arms, first go to the central cave or..."
"Let's go home and have a look first," Opal said.
Asa was a bit strange about this name, but he still took them to the underground apron. There were thousands of spaceships lined up on the apron, many mercenaries were overhauling, and new artillery was installed on each spaceship.
Asa got out of the car to greet the mercenaries and said, "Hey here... Hey! Opal!"
Opal ran to the era VI in the corner and pressed his fingerprint next to the spaceship. Raymond said, "Wait for me!"
Era VI slowly opened the rear hatch under the gaze of many mercenaries, Opal got on the ship, and a mercenary asked Asa: "Who are they? How can they pass the fingerprint verification lock of your ship?"
E7 and Xiao Q followed Raymond to the spaceship, and when Opal went up, he fell on the sofa, startling the other man in the spaceship.
"Who are you?" the man said.
Raymond said: "Give me the mercenary diary, and now officially open all the permissions of the mercenary group to you."
E7 went up the console and introduced the flowers it had planted to Xiao Q before. Asa jumped up with the hatch door open and stared at them blankly.
Opal glanced at the man. The man had brown curly hair, dark blue eyes, a high brow bone and a clear outline, and a little beard. He looked very mature and vicissitudes of life.
After traveling in the universe for so many years, when I returned to the country of mercenaries, I found that the men on Lie Xing were indeed not bragging, and the people I saw after returning were very handsome.
A random guard, an ordinary mercenary, has a temperament and demeanor that is different from the man you meet outside. It was tempered on the edge of life and death, and the indifference, fortitude and a kind of fearless momentum precipitated after the experience. Optimistic, open-minded yet persistent, as if the sky is falling and it is no big deal.
"This is Uncle Martin." Asa introduced the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle, they are Raymond and Opal, both adventurers... God, Raymond, what are you doing?"
Raymond sat on the swivel chair in front of the console, opened the star map, unlocked a series of passwords, the environment analysis machine, the writing function of the star map, the password to activate the escape pod... Raymond said: "Opal, you didn't put the password when you left. Are all permissions enabled for Karens?"
Opal said: "He said that some of his functions are not used, and some of them are locked by himself. Hey! You two sloppy ghosts, can't you clean up this kennel?"
Martin said: "You are also... from the mercenary group?"
Raymond said: "I am the captain who has been missing for a long time."
Opal got up and went to the refrigerator to get a drink. There was only ale produced by Lie Xing, and he said helplessly: "It seems that you are really poor..."
Asa said: "Great! Head! Are you planning to return to the group to lead us?"
There are many mercenaries watching outside the cabin door, and one person said: "Asa, are they your team members?"
"I don't know what's going on!" Asa said, "Uncle Cullens didn't tell me, uncle, did he tell you?"
Martin said, "No, why are you adventurers again?"
Opal said regretfully: "Don't ask, comrade-in-arms, a lot of things in the past were meaningless."
Martin smiled and said, "That's right, just come back."
Raymond opened all the permissions of the mercenary group and said, "Is there a union terminal here?"
Martin said: "Yes, there is an office when you turn right out of the underground hangar. The union in Twilight City has moved here. We are independent. After the confrontation with the Fierce Star union, many clerks followed us. The union system in China was taken over by Wrench Re-send."
Asa went over, sat on Martin's lap, and said, "It's easy for you to come back, it turns out that you are all your own."
Martin freed his hands and wrapped his arms around Asa's waist. The two were a pair of lovers, just like Opal and Raymond were together in the past.
"I'm going to give them team access?" Raymond said.
Martin said, "Are you coming back?"
Raymond looked at Opal solicitously, Opal said, "I won't be back in the near future, but I have to give you the team funds..."
Martin immediately said: "No, this can't be done, it's all your money."
"What time is it." Opal said: "You have enough money to spend? The strong star currency has depreciated to such a degree that it is not even enough to buy fuel."
Martin let out a breath, and Raymond said, "Let's go, remember to reserve two seats for us, what's your courtesy? One regiment."
Martin also thought about it. Being in the same mercenary group carries too many things. Even strangers who have never met before can trust each other and deliver their lives.
Martin jumped off the boat, put on the cross sword and the shield on his back, and went to hand over the team authority with Raymond.
"He's a bit like my teacher's weapon." Opal looked at the photon shield on Martin's back and said, "How about you?"
Asa showed him a folding energy bow and said, "mine is a bow, what do you use?"
"Bow? Few people use it." Opal was a little surprised.
Asa said: "Uncle trained me to use a bow and said that I was too impetuous. Learning this weapon can exercise and meditate."
Opal's fingers flicked, and an energy sword appeared. Asa was startled and said, "What is this?"
Opal said, "Broad sword, haven't you seen it?"
Asa said, "I mean where did you come from?"
"Oh, a new polymer material called Phoenix," said Opal.
Asa said: "Uncle is right, as expected, I am still too ignorant... There is such a thing, doesn't it violate the law of quality and energy?"
Phoenix's voice sounded: "No violation, because the material that composes me exists in the ubiquitous extra dimension. It is a curling dimension."
"Ahh-" Asa said, "What!"
Asa was so frightened that he knocked over his chair and said, "The sword... the sword can speak?"
Opal laughed: "It's... an artificial intelligence."
"My God, can you take a look?" Asa touched the golden and red sword in surprise, Opal held the hilt, and said, "The teacher said that at any time, the weapon can't be handed over to another person voluntarily. I can only let you touch it."
Asa nodded in surprise and said, "Where's Raymond?"
"He used a percussion axe cannon," Opal said.
"Ah, I know that, long-range and mid-range," Asa said.
Opal smiled: "Yes."
Asa said: "When you all come back, our team will be too strong. You and Uncle are suitable for the melee shield system. Raymond and I support medium and long-range support. Brother Cullens uses a gun..."
When the two were talking, the voice of the conversation outside became louder, and Xun said loudly: "Opal!"
Opal turned his head, and every time Xun appeared in front of him, it was a little different.
He still has a faint back-shaped fibrous root, his hair has been trimmed, and the sides are pushed flat. The short hair on the top of his head stands up like a rooster, and there is a scar on the brow bone.
"Let's talk." Xun said.
Opal said: "Your style is a failure."
Xun gave him a punch and said, "I really dismantled my barber robot, damn it!"
Opal didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly asked, "Where's Raymond?"
Opal said: "He is handing over the commander of the smoke and sword mercenary regiment."
Xun frowned and said, "Are you really mercenaries?!"
Opal smiled and said, "Of course, we have known each other in our past lives, do you believe it?"
The two were relatively silent for a few seconds, and Xun said, "I also feel that I must have known you in my last life, and it still feels very cordial."
Opal opened his arms, the two hugged tightly, Opal sighed, let go of him, and said, "How is it?"
The two walked and talked, Xun said, "We are about to win. Big Sister Haitang will come back. When she comes back, she will sign the letter of appointment. I can succeed the mercenary king."
Opal said: "Have you thought about what will happen after you take over? What should I do? The fortress of the empire is waiting in the Ares galaxy."
Xun said: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't care about the future? I've made up my mind that I have to succeed no matter how many people die, I will take this position, not for me, but for Follow my brethren for these. Otherwise the land of mercenaries will die, at the hands of the spanner."
Opal said, "What about after you take the throne?"
Xun said: "I will issue a new king declaration to all the countries of the entire Star Alliance, including the Dark Alliance. The Empire will definitely bombard this place with artillery fire. Those who are willing to stay will fight with me until they die. Others leave the strong star, I will Designate the next mercenary king, and let the new king establish an exile government in the interstellar space, and take away all the information of the mercenary union. As long as there are mercenaries, the country of mercenaries will never perish..."
Opal's eyes were red, and each other's eyes were red, and they looked at each other silently.
Xun said: "After I get the letter of appointment, I will start a duel with Wrench, defeat him, and then fight to the death with the military forces of the empire. It is useless for them to destroy the strong star, and the spirit will always be there."
Opal murmured: "It's too tragic, Xun, you can't do this. And how can you be sure that the next mercenary king will also..."
"He definitely will, because he's the son of Lily and Wrench," Xun said.
Opal: "… "
Xun said: "He is only four years old, but Lily will tell him everything, and the mercenaries will follow him. I think since he is a man, he must be responsible and willing to make up for all his father's mistakes, like I do, isn't it?"
Opal said: "It's not good, it's too... let me think about it."
Xun said, "Opal, do me a favor."
Opal blocked Xun's hand and said, "Wait..."
Xun said: "Listen to me, I know you are not an ordinary person, you saved my life, I heard that you crowned the Pope, you must not be an ordinary person, I will entrust you with little Neil and teach him how to things, I know that Lie Xing and you are more deeply bound than any other place, I know from the time you told me that you will live a hundred years..."
Opal suddenly remembered something, he said: "Xun, there must be other solutions, stand still and let me see you."
Xun said: "We're running out of time, the wrench is about to be..."
Opal said: "Concentrate, close your eyes! Immediately!"
Xun stopped talking, closed his eyes, and Opal put his hands on his shoulders and said, "Remember what I told you on the Sphinx?"
Xun frowned slightly, and Opal said, "Think of that time, when you almost died..."
He felt a faint flame beating in Xun's spiritual world.
At this moment, Opal made a bold decision and asked, "How much time do we have?"
Xun said: "What?"
"How long until you officially launch the final attack?" Opal asked.
"There is no time." Sid's voice sounded beside them, and when Opal turned his head, he found a lot of mercenaries.
Nearly a hundred mercenaries stood on the tarmac.
Xun said, "Sid!"
Sid said: "Opal, you are an adventurer, you can sneak into those imperial people, I beg you one thing, they will soon..."
Xun rushed over, grabbed Sid by the collar, and said, "Shut up!! Sid! You promised me not to mess around!"
"He can help us!! With him, we can be confident!" Sid pushed Xun away and shouted at him, "You ruthless beast!"
The two sides scuffled together, and Opal said: "Don't do it! Stop!"
The mercenaries backed away, and Raymond ran over and said, "What's going on!"
Opal didn't have time to explain. In fact, even he didn't know what was wrong. He forcibly separated Sid and Xun with the power of faith, and threw them to one side. The mercenaries were in an uproar.
Sid struggled to his feet and shouted, "I beg you! Go and save Yinyao! He's going to be executed in four hours!"
Opal: "… "
Xun yelled at Sid like no one else was around: "He died for his faith! He was willing! You bastard! You are a waste! Sissy! You are not a man! You have no idea what he thinks! You will confuse him. Shame! Get this lunatic! I've had enough of him!"
