Opal finally found the lifeboat that made a forced landing in Cameron. At the moment of the failure of the jump of Theseus, most of the members still escaped, and many hit the planet. When it was dark, a group of Republic soldiers gathered under the waterfall.
Tifeng looks even weaker. The oxygen content here is too thin, as if it changes with the change of day and night. At night, the oxygen is only 17%. Tifeng can't stop coughing. The soldiers brought him an oxygen mask and put it on.
When Opal arrived, there was a commotion in the remnants of the Republic.
"It's me." Opal said: "Do you have energy?"
Tifeng frowned and shook his head.
Opal asked, "Where's Livy?"
Ti Feng shook his head, his face was so ugly that he was almost speechless.
Opal used to press Tifeng's shoulder, the power of belief poured into his mind like a surging tide, Tifeng felt more comfortable, and closed his eyes to think quietly.
Tifeng said in the oxygen mask: "Our spaceship is completely scrapped. The nearest star gate is thirty-five light-years away from this planet. Can you contact Lecter and Cullens? Let them notify the headquarters and send someone to pick them up. ."
Opal said: "Even if they get in touch, how do you ask them to come? It takes thirty-five years to travel at the speed of light."
Tifeng said: "The jump ship."
Opal said: "Horius will definitely expect someone to come to the rescue and is monitoring the transition on the periphery of the planet."
Tifeng rubbed his temples, and Opal said, "And now Cullens may be in a more dangerous situation than us, and he can only save himself."
An officer said: "Grab a battleship of the Wisdom Corps?"
Opal thought for a while and said, "Energy, half a million units of energy, enough to get us out of here. Ore or something will do."
The soldiers unloaded the energy furnace from the upstream of the waterfall, and Opal released Phoenix's energy center and connected it to the energy furnace, and a circle of lights around the energy center turned on.
"12%." Phoenix said, "It takes 17% to jump, otherwise it will be very dangerous to have no energy after breaking through the space."
Opal said: "Well, I don't want to be shot out of space by Horius and wander in the universe for tens of thousands of years..."
The officers whispered that Opal's mecha is not only unseen by everyone, but also unheard of. It can be split, deformed, and combined into different modes of fighter jets, and it has advanced artificial intelligence.
Opal said: "I go to the place where the replicators are located, and maybe I can steal some energy."
"Let's go together." Tifeng said: "Although we are not strong in combat, we can help you a little bit."
Opal thought about it for a while, and planned to sneak in alone, grab an energy furnace and come back, but when he opened his mouth, he could only take them to action.
Soldiers are still equipped with small life-saving flying boards on the ground. These flying boards can use the anti-gravity suspension effect to fly, and only a small amount of energy is stored in them. Even if all of them are injected into Phoenix, it will not work. Plate these with the energy of a light bullet gun.
He put Tifeng on the back of the quadruped and spread his wings to the heights of the woods.
When the planet entered the night, and the unknown dark forest and the sky contained many dangers, Tifeng said, "You have grown up, Evan."
When Opal heard him say this, he was a little emotional, and said with a smile: "Yeah."
Tifeng said: "When I met you six years ago, I never imagined that there would be such a day when I could sit behind your mount and fly in such a place."
Opal turned his head and said, "Principal, what about Li Wei?"
Tifeng said: "don't look for him, he has gone back now."
Opal: "… "
Damn it, Opal frowned, "When did he leave?"
Tifeng said: "He must preserve his strength for the Republic. When the Theseus was attacked, he left the battle. It doesn't matter, Opal, I don't blame him, everyone should focus on the overall situation."
Opal thinks about the relationship between Tifeng and Li Wei, and Li Wei is always very concerned about the overall situation.
From Coroline's retelling, Opal's impression of Li Wei's establishment has not been perfect. From the promotion of Tifeng, to the promotion of his career path, and then to his prestige... In the end, it led to the fiasco of the Meteor Empire. .
"Evan." Tifeng said again, "What's your uncle's plan?"
"Uh..." Opal said, "I think he should... not plan to do business in the near future, maybe... life is more important. I think Li Wei was a little impulsive last time."
Tifeng snorted and said, "The things in the past are not important anymore, but I am still very grateful to your uncle, who will help you at the critical moment."
Opal whispered: "You're welcome, after all, he is also one of the victims. I mean, he is the only one who is still alive. The father of the clone."
Tifeng said: "We just killed a clone, he looks a lot like your uncle."
Opal took a breath and said, "Yes, so I think we have a common enemy now."
Tifeng nodded.
The night wind blew, and the four-legged beast crossed the forest and entered the coastline area. There should be no replicators in the sea, so Opal searched along the coast for light.
"Li Wei should really love you." Opal said: "No, I'm sure, he loves you very much."
Tifeng said: "I know that I love him too, so when we face life and death, we can understand each other's choices."
Opal didn't answer, he could understand the feelings between Tifeng and Li Wei, and asked, "Will you stay in the Republic after this war is won?"
Ti Feng said with a smile: "I don't think so, I want to spend a little time with Li Wei, I'm too tired."
"Li Wei once said to me that the only regret in his life is that he has not experienced the dark age, and the decisive battle with the Wisdom Legion is the stage for all the famous heroes in history..." Tifeng's eyebrows moved: "It may be a bit untimely. Complain in it."
"Then he finally caught up," Opal said.
Tifeng smiled and said nothing.
Opal finally found a gathering place for replicants.
Two duplicants are sitting on the coast facing the atomic furnace.
Tifeng said: "Prepare to fight and kill them."
Opal said decisively: "No, we are not opponents, there are enemies in the woods."
He released the power of meditation and detected no less than ten clones in the woods. The current priority is to get the energy to get out of here, not to fight them head-on. During the battle, he can only subdue two or three copies of Raymond, and it seems that there are replicas of Azeroth inside... Opal only briefly played against Azeroth on the Wheel of Time. Even if the other party only retains 20% of the parent's ability, it is very difficult.
What's more troublesome is that Opal has an almost innate reverence for Azeroth, and the mecha battle is not bad.
If he is dragged, the others will raid Tifeng and his troops, and the chances of surviving are unknown. Tifeng is very fragile, and there must be no mistakes.
"I'll take a look." Opal said, "You wait here. If the situation is not right, use the aircraft to go to the sea immediately."
Opal put down the wind and drove the four-legged flying beast to run against the beach, leaving a line of paw prints on the gravel, and slowly approached the two replicants, trying to manipulate them with the power of faith.
Those two were clones of Coroline, and they were talking in a low voice. The Opal got closer, and when they got closer, they finally discovered that there was someone on the back of the quadruped.
Opal startled them just as he was about to start mind control, and both clones got up and looked at him.
Opal simply relaxed a little, and the four-legged beast slowly passed over and looked at them.
"What are you doing here?" Opal said.
One of the clones asked, "How did you get here? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Opal: "!!"
Another replicator asked his companion, "You know him?"
Seeing Opal a little confused, the first clone said, "I'm V0232."
He said to his companion again, "He was the one who brought me to the troops just now."
The second duplicant, smoking a cigarette, squinted at the opal, and sat on the reef a moment later.
Opal hesitated a bit, but after a moment he made another decision, saying, "I need a little energy."
V0232 said: "Is this enough? Take it."
"What does he want to do?" the replicant companion asked V0232.
V0232 said: "I don't know, but I want to give it to him."
"You have the final say." The dummy companion was smoking a cigarette and said vaguely, "Have you taken a fancy to this human?"
V0232 said displeased: "You think too much."
"Thank you." Opal looked at V0232.
"Take it." V0232 said.
Opal opened Phoenix's energy heart and absorbed the energy of the atomic furnace. V0232 said, "Come here, I have no malice."
Opal approached a little, the light of the atomic furnace reflected on the faces of the two, and gradually dimmed, replaced by a swirling red light around Phoenix's energy heart.
"What is this?" V0232 asked.
Opal said: "Ancient God Mecha."
On the dark beach, the sea rustled, and the rising tide rolled gently on the beach. The tall Raymond stood silently, watching Phoenix's energy heart together with Opal.
Another of Raymond's clones looked up at them, eyes still, fixed on Opal.
Those eyes were very similar to the look in Raymond's eyes when they fled from Lie Xing after being destroyed by the acid beast a long time ago.
At this moment, Opal has an illusion in a trance.
Each replica is like the Raymond he once knew in the Hall of Fierce Stars. They have the first memory of each other in them, as if this memory is inspired every time Opal sees a person, and it becomes a part of the soul. An unforgettable past filled the void in each other's lives.
"V0232! You traitor!" Azeroth's voice sounded, and the two Raymond clones were immediately alert, and Opal couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart.
Azeroth came out with a giant axe, his eyes were full of anger, he stared at Opal, and said solemnly: "You can't give energy to humans!"
Azeroth's voice was full of majesty and murderousness, just like the moment when Opal heard the wartime declaration on the fierce star in the past.
V0232 said solemnly: "V7129, this is my decision, you have no right to interfere."
Another clone of Raymond said: "I support him, what do you want? We have the right to control what we own."
Another clone of Raymond appeared behind Azeroth, frowning at Opal.
"Opal." Raymond's voice came from Phoenix's energy heart: "How is the situation on your side?"
Opal said: "Everything is fine, I am collecting energy."
Raymond said: "Rotman died, Kartus stayed on Jin Yaoxing and was unwilling to leave, Alex escaped, and Baroque evacuated from the Lion Galaxy under the protection of Justin and Feige."
Opal said, "Where's Coroline?"
Raymond said: "He took over the rout of the Imperial Army, went back to mobilize the aircraft carrier, and now we are recruiting the Imperial Mecha team that escaped from the Lion System."
Opal said: "I can finish the mission right away, and I will contact you after I leave here."
There are replicants, Opal doesn't want to talk too much in front of them, and after cutting off the communication, he finds that all replicators are looking at him.
"Your Empire's offensive plan has been successfully won." Opal said: "Do you have such a big hatred for humans?"
The sitting Raymond clone said: "It's not hatred, it's fighting for his own living space."
Opal said: "We can live together in this universe. Everyone has their own way. The universe is so big, and there will always be a place to live."
"Why didn't you say that when you destroyed the proving ground base?" V0232 asked rhetorically.
Opal was stunned.
All the replicants looked at him.
"Because of the hatred left over from the dark times." Opal thought for a while and said, "I can't influence the teacher's decision. After the first war with you, they left an indelible impression. So we can only start first, Clear out those bases before you guys are ready."
"So it can't be cleaned up now." The third clone said: "It's captured, but it can't be beaten, and then ask for peaceful coexistence. This is your human habit."
Opal said: "Yes, I think you use the same words to question my teacher, and he will admit it, but he has a clear conscience, and I have a conscience, because my lover, like you, is a replica. My father was also a clone, and he was Logan."
"The only difference is that he was created by the father body for me alone. It carries the replica of our original memory. He has all the souls and memories that are with me." Opal said seriously: "He can't take you all. Killing as a robot, I can't do it, I don't even know what I am. That's it. We all have our own positions. I tried my best. After the war, if you want me to atone for your comrades, you can come and find a way to kill them. I am. The premise is that I have this ability."
V0232 said: "The leader will not negotiate with you. You are very powerful, and we can't do anything about you."
The replica of Azeroth looked at Opal with a dangerous look in his eyes.
"He can kill us all." The sitting replicant said casually: "Just don't want to do it, V7129, don't act rashly. Otherwise, no amount of chip backup will save you."
Opal's heart moved, and he seemed to have found something from his words. He read the thoughts of Raymond's clone and felt that he was judging his own strength, so he switched to Azeroth's thinking, and read a very important thing. Information.
Opal was silent for a while, and said, "So we still have to fight. Only when both sides don't want to fight can we have a chance to negotiate."
The sitting replicator said, "Fight and see."
Opal said: "You guys just wait and see."
Phoenix spun in the field of vision of all the duplicants, turned into a storm of gold and red fragments, combined into a Phoenix spaceship, flew to the far side of the beach, and the remnants of the Republic got on board.
In the center of the cabin, the crimson control crystal lit up, projecting a star map.
Opal said: "Who else? We have to find all the people who crashed here."
Tifeng said: "On this planet, there are no more people from the Republic except for us. They are all concentrated here. Can we jump now?"
Opal nodded, but he didn't know where to jump, so he turned on the communication and asked, "Teacher, I rescued Tifeng, where do we meet?"
Cullen's voice said: "Tifeng, where is Li Wei?"
Rickett said: "Iszur."
Phoenix was close to the vast ocean, bringing up a huge wave, and the Zenith battleship chased after the phoenix, sending out dense light bullets.
"Prepare to jump." Phoenix said in a deep voice: "Scorpio, Iszur."
Opal brazenly released the power of faith, a ring of fire spread on the sea, the storm of flames swept the fighter planes behind Phoenix, the real fire phoenix spread its wings, the light flashed, and the sea was in an uproar. into five-dimensional space.
The surging sea rushed out and scattered into the boundless universe. The moment the wave rolled up, it condensed into ice, like the ice crystal throne of the Nirvana Phoenix.
As far as the eye can see, there are aircraft carriers, battleships, and small fighter planes everywhere. The outer periphery of the Iszur galaxy has densely built a magnetic defense line, and the central star bursts with streamers of light, connecting the billions of rotating space defense lineups.
Phoenix landed on the Nemesis, and several Meteor Corps officers brought Tifeng and Opal into the central conference room.
In the conference room stood Recht, Cullens, Caesar, Andore and Xun.
Opal breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why are you all here?"
"Where's Li Wei." Cullens said: "This is the third time I have asked. Who can answer my whereabouts of Li Wei?"
Opal said blankly, "Isn't he already back?"
Lift the wind to maneuver the wheelchair into the conference room.
"Li Wei is dead." Tifeng's eyes were red, and he said, "The Theseus was killed. In order to cover our escape, he was thrown out of the protective cabin by the explosion. Let's start the battle meeting. How much human life is left?"
