"Today is a good day to die!"
Photon 3700 flew out of the canyon and hovered under the gloomy sky. The mercenaries' spaceships spread their wings like an eagle leaving the nest and flew out of the mirror of aurora.
"Follow me! Under my leadership!" Xun's battle declaration resounded through Fierce Star: "Retake the glory of mercenaries! We live and die for battle!"
"The victim will sleep under the hero's tombstone and become the eternal patron saint of this land!"
"Swear it! May you die in battle for your king! Thousands of years from now, today's battle will become an immortal chapter in history!"
"I would like to die for the king." A deep and familiar voice came from the communication channel.
"Urka!"
All the mercenaries were stunned, and another mecha returned to their side.
"May I die in battle for the king!" All the mercenaries shouted in unison.
"I made the way for you!" Urka said. "It's time to take it back!"
Urka, Begonia, Song of Time, Xun’s Photon 3700, True Fire Phoenix—five mechas led nearly a hundred Photon 3700 across the sky and flew to the City of War Soul, all the spaceships rushed out.
The City of War Soul opened the protective cover, the outer atmosphere space battery light cannon fell, and tens of thousands of photons 3700 flew out of the square, rushing towards the real fire phoenix.
Just in time! Opal was afraid that they would not come or stare at Xun's landline. Since the target was all himself, then it would be easy to do. Phoenix released a fiery aperture and bounced off all the mechas with a bang.
As more and more combat spaceships took off, Cullens sent the communication commander and shouted: "Team 5, Team 6 to support, A1-A16 to supplement the Opal flame machine, Song of Time and Violet lead the left and right wings to outflank. ."
Tens of thousands of defense planes flew out of the city of war souls, and Opal froze in his heart, but saw those defense planes take off one after another and fly out of the atmosphere.
"It's Rosen's troops!" Someone shouted, "My own!"
"I wish you a long life." Rosen's voice said in the communication channel: "I will defend the outer defense line of the planet for you."
The mercenaries immediately became imposing, and the real fire phoenix blasted the defense layer with its shocking power. The entire city of war souls shook violently under the power of the ancient gods. Shaking, the defense layer was broken, and the lightning rod exploded with thousands of dazzling electric lights, forming a net, shooting at the battle group from all directions!
"Phoenix!" Opal said: "Turn on reverse elimination."
The red mecha shook the six pairs of flame wings covering the sky in the air, and all the electrical energy of the whole star was torn away at this moment. In the blazing electric light, Opal could no longer see what was happening outside. Just like the moment when Cororin drove the gluttonous into the fierce star a long time ago, it became the pivot of the battle situation, quelling the million-volt high-voltage all-star defense grid.
The current passed through Phoenix's shell, and Opal only felt that at this moment, his soul frequency seemed to be one with Phoenix, and every cell and every atom in the body was tumbling in the torrent of the sea of electricity, becoming almost transparent.
At the same time, the power of his belief was also unusually quiet, as if it had been washed very clearly. This situation only lasted for less than a second, and then there was a violent shock.
The visible light screen unfolded above his head, and above it was an imperial cruise ship approaching, firing light shock cannons towards the ground, which landed on the heights of the Battle Spirit Square where Opal was located.
The bloodbath army has fully captured the capital, the spaceships are strafing the ground, the Photon 3700 driven by the imperial faction has all fled, and countless manned spaceships have been flying away from the city of war spirits one after another, apparently getting the order to retreat.
"Warning," Phoenix said. "Your belief is not strong enough to support reverse elimination. Tow mode must be canceled immediately, Opal!"
The next moment, Opal's soul felt a piercing pain, as if something was disintegrating his body.
"No—" Opal said loudly, "Just hold on for a while!"
The shock wave is getting stronger and stronger, and Opal's soul seems to be disintegrating in the repeated frequency conversion of the electric field, and it is shaken into pieces. His spirit is suffering great pain, but at this moment, two forces of belief Charge from the front and the back at the same time!
A force of faith like roaring lava and fire rushes to the opal!
Another power of belief is like the vast ocean, and the monstrous waves rushed into his body.
The first fiery belief seemed to sense something, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Opal: "!!!"
His pupils shrank violently, and then, with the support of Rickett's majestic belief, he folded his whole body, and the golden and red giant swords in both hands merged into one, pulling the thunder and electric arcs all over the sky and waving them into the air!
That electric arc was like a galloping dragon, piercing through the cruiser on the zenith in an instant, causing it to explode into a fireball.
"What was that just now? Phoenix?" Opal said.
Phoenix didn't answer, Opal's thoughts moved, countless light screens unfolded and rotated around, each light screen was a battle scene, every moment someone sacrificed, someone won, blood and fire spread to the entire city of war souls. In an inch corner, the building collapsed, and the glass shattered and erupted in the sound of the explosion.
Gradually, the current became weaker and weaker, the bloodbath army controlled the entire capital, and the mercenaries sent by the empire could no longer resist. It seemed that they had received the final retreat order, and they all turned around and flew out of the atmosphere.
The Bloodbath Army captured the Battle Soul Building, seized the planet's defense center, and all the electricity was removed.
Phoenix disintegrated into pieces and returned to a ring on his ring finger.
The rainstorm started again, and Opal knelt down on one knee and couldn't stop breathing in the water-filled square.
With the removal of the city's power system, the world fell into darkness, and then the giant light screen in front of the Battle Spirit Building lit up, and the golden iris logo appeared, glowing brightly.
"we won!"
"we won!"
The mercenaries let out a scream that shook the sky, and they merged into a torrent. Opal got up tiredly, walked slowly to the Battle Spirit Building, and walked up the stairs. The main entrance of the building opened.
"The battle is not over yet." Xun said: "All the troops are in place and prepare for the planetary defense battle!"
Opal ran up the steps and entered the War Soul Building. The situation inside was chaotic, and there were traces of blood and explosions on the ground. A mercenary said: "Opal! Quickly let you go to the 500th floor!"
The electronic light screens all around were showing faults, a few floors were lighting up step by step, and the clerks were clamoring, and under the protection of the mercenaries, they were running to their respective floors to take over the mercenary union.
Opal jumped on the hoverboard, there were a dozen mercenaries standing on it, almost overweight, the hoverboard turned on the red light, and flew to the upper level of the Battle Spirit Building, a mercenary leader introduced to Opal: "This is Former President of the Mercenary Union, Mr. Lawrence."
Opal nodded and gave him a mercenary salute during the short time he took the elevator, and the heads of the regiment salute.
"I wish you a long life." Lawrence bowed slightly and said, "Is the red mecha just now your car?"
"My friend," said Opal.
The mercenary captains all laughed, and Lawrence nodded and said, "Very heroic, you are all heroic."
"But it also ruined the home planet," said Opal.
A regiment leader said: "It will gradually get better."
Lawrence agrees: "Everything is left to be built. Everything will be built on the rubble."
"Work hard! Lawrence!" Another head said: "Otherwise you will be abolished!"
Everyone laughed for a while, and Lawrence said: "I'm not afraid of you, even my clerk can't deal with it, and you want to abolish me?"
At that moment, everyone burst into laughter.
With a ding, an electronic female voice prompted: "The 227th floor, the Cultural and Political Headquarters of the Mercenary Union."
Lawrence said: "I'll go first, and then it's our civilian responsibility, goodbye everyone."
Opal and the group leaders said goodbye to him one after another. Lawrence trotted along the corridor to the 227th floor, and the hoverboard continued to ascend.
"He is also from the Empire?" a mercenary asked.
"The half-blood of the Sphinx and Gray City." A regiment commander replied, "He has a very bad relationship with the Empire, and he was put up several times during the reign of the previous king."
"I heard that he is pro-Meteor Legion." Another said.
"It's just a rumor." The other leader said, "Because he suggested that Fierce Star be merged into the Dark Alliance, Azeroth didn't like him very much, but Lawrence's ability to do things is first-class. In the past three hundred years, Lie Xing's union is prosperous, and 70% is his credit."
"Hopefully he can revive the union," said Opal.
Ding sound, electronic female voice: "Five hundredth floor, Azeroth's office."
"This is rubbish." The captains laughed: "It's been two generations of Azeroth."
Opal smiled and said: "It's good, at least the wrench has been missing the king, I'm leaving."
He waved to everyone and entered the mercenary king's office area, while the rest of the regiments continued to take the elevator up.
In the central flower bed, a Pom about thirty centimeters came out and looked at the opal curiously.
Opal stopped and was attracted by it. He remembered that six years ago, he and Raymond had put a very small pom here. Park on the head.
Opal smiled and said, "You have grown so big!"
Pom jumped and jumped, and seemed very happy. Five furry little Pom emerged from the flower bed and hid behind the big Pom. The black beans rolled their eyes and looked at him together.
Opal knelt down on one knee and smiled, "Are these your children?"
Big Pom made a grumbling sound, I don't know what it meant, Opal touched its head with his gloved hand, and his fingers poked the little Poms one by one, and the little Poms tried their best to go under the Big Pom. shrink.
Opal got up with a smile and almost collided with Raymond behind him.
"Don't suddenly appear silently." Opal was frightened enough.
Raymond smiled and looked at the little Poms.
Opal said: "Remember? We put it here together before."
Raymond looked at Opal for a long time without speaking.
Opal: "?"
Raymond said with a smile: "Remember, it has grown up, you have grown up, it has grown up too."
Opal said: "Oh actually, I guess I look like six years ago now... Let's go, what is Xun doing?"
He took Raymond's hand, and the two walked to the office. Raymond was also wearing fingerless gloves. The two of them rubbed their palms and intertwined their fingers.
"He should have a meeting with the union's civilian backbone now." Raymond pondered for a while, then said, "Wait a minute."
The door of the office opened, and several clerks came out, holding chips in their hands, nodding at them, running to the entrance of the suspended elevator, and quickly said inside: "Opal? Come in."
Opal dodged in, and there were many people inside, Begonia, Urka, Aurora Falcon and a child. "
"Let's have a drink." Opal couldn't hold it anymore. He tried his best to find a place to sit down: "Where's the wrench?"
"Next door." Xun didn't look at Opal, and said to the projection deconstruction of the Saintess Fortress: "Karens took the spaceship to the sky to pick up Rosen, your teacher was with Raymond just now... Raymond? That? The gentleman didn't come with you?"
Raymond said, "He's with Mrs. Antar."
Xun nodded, and several people found their seats and sat down. Xun said: "The second stage of the battle is about to start, Opal, I can't help you, I have to stay with Lie Xing."
Opal took a sip of the water that Raymond handed him, and waved his hand: "Is it still a good idea?"
Xun was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Of course, but the fact that Wrench and you went to the fortress should not be known to too many people. When the mission is over, I will find a way to clear his name."
Opal nodded, and Raymond said, "Azeroth, when will you make your manifesto? Let me see the route you set?"
"This is the suggestion that Mr. Rickett gave me." Xun said: "I will not send the announcement of succession for the time being. The imperial ambassador and all the imperial officials at hand will send a communication and negotiate with the person in charge of the fortress. I will hold them back. , until the negotiations break down, there should be ten hours left."
Urka pointed to an apron outside the Holy Maiden and said, "There can't be too many people, let alone the imperial army, so we have to mix in the retreating warships and mechas, and try to hijack a warship and let them in the fortress. Surface landing."
"Go in again along this road." Quickly said: "Fast forward, enter the center of the fortress, blow up their main energy furnace array, and then immediately evacuate the entire army. The current problem is that the main energy furnace has a total of one One thousand four hundred and forty, if one of them fails to operate, the isolation plate will fall and lock the explosion area. Moreover, an explosion will inevitably alert the guards of the fortress, and blow up all the main energy furnaces, which is quite difficult. I Guess we only need to blow up 30%, the super light shock cannon of the fortress will be insufficient, and there is a chance of a deadly battle..."
Opal said: "So I need a wrench to let him abolish the defense system here."
"You look too high on the wrench." Haitang stroked her hair and said, "He didn't have time to fiddle with his robots and programs all these years."
Opal said, "I believe he can do it, or ask himself? Raymond, what do you think?"
Xun said, "Wait a minute, he's still in the cubicle."
Raymond touched his nose thoughtfully, and said, "The power systems of this light-oscillating cannon are all intertwined with each other, but I feel that after entering the power source furnace array, we should hold our troops still. When the light-oscillating cannon is turned on, it needs to be large. When the area is bombarding the fierce star, the power furnace that powers it will be directly blown up, so that the explosion will spread along the energy pipeline all the way to… here.”
Raymond's finger pointed at the battery, and the red light flashed on the battery.
"It's too risky." Opal said, "In case we make a mistake, the light shock cannon is activated first, and even if it is blown up after activation, it will be enough to blow the City of War Spirits into powder."
"Hmm." Raymond nodded slowly.
"It's a good idea," Urka said.
Aurora Falcon always looked at Raymond, as if he had found something.
Opal warned the Aurora Falcon to stay silent with his eyes, and he finally found the similarities between Raymond and Coroline. But this is definitely not a good time to say it.
Aurora Falcon's eyes are very complicated, Raymond just glanced at him, and Aurora Falcon did not dare to meet his gaze.
Opal said, "Let's do it the way it was, and call the wrench out."
"If things don't go as expected, try this route at the last minute," Raymond said to Opal.
Opal nodded and said quickly, "Raymond, are you going too?"
"I'm not going." Raymond put one hand on the back of the chair, put it on Opal's shoulder, crossed Erlang's legs, and said easily: "Opal is enough to deal with it, I will stay on the ground and assist you."
He took a sip from the cup that Opal had drank from, glanced at Opal, and smiled.
Opal whispered: "You have to be careful, that guy is not easy to mess with."
Raymond hummed and said, "There is a teacher here, don't worry."
Xun said: "Bring out the wrench, Opal, Urka and Haitang, and her brother will follow you to fight, everyone must come back safely."
Opal said, "As much as possible."
Xun froze instantly and said, "What are you talking about!"
Opal yelled at him and said loudly: "I don't know if I can come back alive!"
Xun said: "At least you have to say a few words at the scene! It's called boosting morale, do you understand!"
Opal said: "You should take care of yourself first... What about Sid and Yinyao?"
Xun said: "That pair of dog boys and girls are not qualified to enter here."
The wrench was brought over, and his appearance interrupted the conversation between Opal and Xun. Not long after they parted in the Holy See, Opal was surprised to find that the soul of the wrench seemed to be back when they met again.
His eyes were red, followed by Lily and a child, and quickly said: "The family's happiness is over, Your Majesty."
Wrench said: "Actually, I would rather you execute me, Your Majesty Azeroth."
Lily said, "Don't do that, Wrench."
Xun put his hands on the desk and gestured at Opal with his eyes. Opal said, "Wrench, can you break into the defense system of the fortress's energy furnace?" Wrench said: "If I say no, what will you do?"
Opal shrugged and said: "I can't just say it directly, I have another plan, which Raymond just came up with, let's go, I wish you good luck."
"Wait!" Lily said. "What's your name? I want to talk to you."
Opal turned around and Lily chased out of the office with a familiar look in her eyes.
"You can call me little Ouou." Opal smiled.
Lily said, "Well, don't know why, they all believe you..."
Opal said, "How about you?"
Lily was silent for a long time and said, "I believe in you too. Please bring the wrench back. Whether alive or dead, don't leave his body in the enemy's fortress."
Wrench got down on one knee, hugged the child, and said, "Nell, Dad is going to fight, you stay here and listen to Mommy."
He hugged his son, rubbed his forehead on his tender forehead, and Neil said, "Dad, come on."
Wrench smiled bitterly, touched Nair's face, got up and left the office, and said to Opal, "I'll wait for you at the back door."
Opal glanced at him, ignored him, and said to Lily, "Yes."
Lily nodded and hugged Opal, who patted her on the back and said, "Raymond, won't you come and see me out?"
Raymond drank his coffee, glanced with his head, got up and walked out of the corridor. Opal always felt that Raymond was a little abnormal today, and he hammered his shoulder in confusion.
Raymond leaned on Opal's shoulder and said, "Send you down, you can come back smoothly, I have confidence in you."
Opal said: "Well, I also have confidence in myself. The teacher said that as long as the power of belief is strong enough, it can destroy a universe."
The hoverboard slowly descended, and through the huge transparent window, Raymond stared at the scene outside and said, "A new world can be created."
Opal smiled and said, "You must be careful about Kyle."
Raymond said: "Don't worry, he is not my opponent."
Opal grabbed Raymond by the collar and wanted to give him a goodbye kiss. Surrounded by mercenaries, Raymond felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Or come back and kiss again?"
Opal: "… "
Opal wanted to give his handsome face a punch, and after thinking about it, he said, "Then I'm leaving."
"Don't take it lightly." Raymond sent him to the back door and said, "But don't be too nervous, think about what the Big Astronautical Association taught you." He pointed to his head and said, "Like an adventurer, Solve problems with your head, not your strength."
Opal hummed and seemed to have found his way. Outside the back door, a Photon 3700 was waiting in the small apron, and the wrench was standing in the center with tools and a small robot in the rain.
Violet and Steel Feather Division stood on both sides, Urka and Haitang were overhauling their mecha.
Opal glanced at the clock, nine hours and forty-seven minutes until the thunderstorm day passed.
"Urka, Haitang." Opal said, "You just need to send me and the wrench into the Fortress of the Holy Maiden."
Urka touched his head and said, "Are you sure?"
Opal said: "The fewer people there are, the less likely it is to reveal the target. Your mecha is too big, unlike mine, you can close it at any time..."
Opal stretched out his left hand, and the ring spread out, becoming a fiery red mecha.
"My God." Wrench murmured, "Opal, where did you get this thing?"
Opal smiled and said, "You can easily disturb the imperial guards."
"Understood." Haitang said, "I wish you two good luck."
The wrench climbed into a Photon 3700, and Urka whispered to the Opal, "Boy, bring the wrench back safely, please."
Opal nodded silently, entered the Photon 3700, closed the hatch, the red light was on in the cabin, and it seemed very crowded with a wrench.
Opal checked the energy, braking system, communication equipment one by one, all in good condition.
"Opal!" Xun ran out the back door: "Get down!"
Opal turned on the display and saw Xun was holding something, it was his fiery red royal robe. Not long ago, Opal just casually said something nice.
Opal jumped out of the mecha, quickly put the king robe on him, and said, "You are also the king of mercenaries, and you will fight on my behalf. We share, together, fight hard, come back alive, come on!"
Opal said: "I will win, and you will do it too."
Xun: "Opal, I wish you a long life."
At that moment, Opal had complicated emotions in his heart, and the countless passions, dreams, friendships and impulses in the past all turned into a simple greeting from the mercenary.
"I wish you a long life, my king." Opal said.
The two bowed to each other and met face to face with fists.
The final battle is about to begin, and this battle will decide the fate of Lie Xing.
The 700th floor of the Battle Spirit Building:
Taking a deep breath, he entered the conference room and sat down.
Hundreds of mercenary heads were sitting in front of the conference table, and at the other end of the long table was the imperial ambassador who was shackled by magnetic locks.
"Let's send a communication to the Saintess Fortress." Xun said, "Let's start negotiating."
On the steps in front of the Battle Spirit Plaza:
Rickett looked up at the sky, and the three mechas set off from the ground, passed through the clouds, and left the atmosphere.
With the sound of footsteps, Raymond appeared behind Lecter and said, "Teacher, our commander Opal asked me to stay on the ground to assist you in capturing Kyle Ray."
Recht didn't answer.
outer atmosphere:
A black space shuttle approaches three Photon 3700s.
"The enemy?" Haitang said on the communication channel.
"Don't fire!" Opal said.
A communication was sent from the space shuttle, and the man's voice said on the communication channel: "Opal?"
"Raymond?" Wrench frowned.
Opal held his breath and said, "You... teacher?"
"It's me, Opal." Raymond said.
Opal was a little confused, this is Raymond, who was that on Lie Xing just now
Raymond didn't mention the name in front of the mercenaries, and said, "He gave me the gluttonous food, let me wait for you here and fight with you."
Opal: "When?!"
Raymond: "After the Battle Spirit Building is successful, I will come here to wait for you, what's the matter?"
Battle Spirit Plaza:
Recht turned around under the gray sky and said solemnly, "It's been a long time."
Coroline smiled and replied, "It's been a long time, teacher."
