This apprentice has short golden-brown hair, standing upright in an unruly manner, which looks very difficult at first glance. His eyebrows are high, his eye sockets are deep, his lips are as thin as a knife, and his face has a haze of youth and maturity, and he waved his hand again in the air!
clang!
Celia blocked it again, the blades collided with sparks, and he stared into the young Sen Leng's eyes: "Why are you here?"
"Who knows what you're talking about!" Claire yelled, and shot again and again like lightning, and the narrow space was suddenly filled with bright blue lightning!
When Celia was still at the Egret Star Military Academy, she didn't have a good impression of this Alpha military cadet who tended to be violent when he was in heat, and beat him uprightly during the school trials. But then they encountered the Dark Star Knights in the rematch base, and Claire was seriously injured to protect his teammates, which made Celia change his attitude towards him.
—How did this boy become a Dark Star apprentice
Celia didn't pay attention to the apprentice at all, and took a dozen knives casually, turned around and kicked him several meters away. Claire slammed into the wall and fell to the ground with a bang. When he landed, he choked out a mouthful of blood. Before he could get up, he felt a chill on his forehead. When he looked up, he saw Celia looking down at him, with the sharp point of the knife right between his brows. : "Answer me, why are you here?"
"... I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Where's Dean?"
"I don't know Dean!"
Celia narrowed his eyes slightly, this action made his eyelashes look extremely long, and asked coldly after a while, "Where's Gavin?"
"I told you I don't know! I don't know!" Claire grabbed the blade and shouted, "Come on, there's—"
There was a loud bang, and Celia kicked him back to the ground. Poor Claire didn't even have time to hum, and passed out directly.
"Master Barnett is dead!" The apprentices roared not far away: "Go and call someone, go!" "Master Barnett is dead!"
Celia grabbed Claire and carried it on her shoulder, and her eyes were instantly blackened. The weight difference between Alpha and Omega could not be ignored. The corner of Celia's mouth twitched, and she barely dragged Claire for a few steps. Suddenly, she heard the Griffin shout madly: "Wait! Wait! Bi An requests communication!"
Celia didn't answer yet, only Heinrich's voice came immediately: "How is the situation successful?! Listen, I have two very important things to tell you—"
"I'll tell you to pick you up!" Celia scolded the Griffin, who immediately yelled aggrievedly: "What's so pretentious! You've all slept through it!"
"..." Celia felt her eyebrows twitching. Just as she was about to smoke the griffin, Heinrich's dissatisfied voice came: "Hey, are you listening? I told you that there are two important things to tell you... Who is that on your back?!"
"Royal Cadet!"
"Why are you dressed like Dark Star Hall?!"
"The school spirit is not correct! Blame the emperor!" Silia said casually, rushing into the narrow fork in the middle with a sense of direction, only to hear the footsteps of a few Dark Star apprentices rushing over. "what do you want to say in the end?"
"First, I just found out recently... Wait, what do you mean by blaming the emperor for bad school ethos?! You clearly know that the Royal Military Academy is not under my control, so why don't you blame Edna?!"
"..." Silia shuttled through the intricate magnetic field corridors, and a low-level warrior of the Dark Star Hall rushed behind him unexpectedly. Seeing him wearing an apprentice black robe, he wanted to yell at him, but before he could make a sound, Celia slapped him hard Facing the wall, he fell to the ground with a thud.
"You can't be biased like this... Be careful!" Before Heinrich could finish his sentence, Celia turned around and slammed the iron claws that came from the sneak attack. Immediately afterwards, the red gold saber suddenly lengthened, and instantly pierced another Dark Star Warrior's chest. Left breast!
"What on earth are you trying to say! Say it quickly!" The samurai collapsed to the ground, and Celia yelled, drawing back his saber.
The griffin roared: "Two o'clock in the front! There is a secret room under the steps!"
Heinrich: "He told me to talk!"
Celia dragged Claire down the steps, and suddenly the lights went out, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness. Immediately afterwards, the will-o'-the-wisp lights up faintly, reflecting ghost faces looking around one after another, and the scene is suddenly as terrifying as a ghostly hell.
"This, this, what's going on..." The Griffin almost trembled, just as he was about to shrink into Celia's hand, he suddenly realized that something was wrong - Celia's eyes turned red instantly, and countless black patterns flowed down her cheeks to her neck , In an instant, the same dim light lit up all over his body!
Griffin: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
"It's just the mark of the dark star! You're too embarrassing to the imperial mecha!" Heinrich finally couldn't help but vent his anger on the mecha, but before he finished speaking, Celia said coldly: " It's the dark star warrior pattern—your ignorance also opened my eyes, Your Majesty the Emperor."
Heinrich: "…"
Griffin: "...you... are you standing up for me, Gavin?"
Celia did not answer, he managed to mix among the countless warriors on this floor, dragged Claire down the steps, and soon found a sealed alloy door deeply embedded in the wall at the end of the short passage—the color of this door and The wall itself is very close, even if you look at it when the lights are bright, you may not be able to detect it immediately, and there is a combination lock embedded in the door.
"Griffin, unlock."
The Griffin was so moved that he could not extricate himself, he hurriedly turned into a light brain and floated up, quickly connecting to the system center of the combination lock.
For this 3S mech, which is above the pinnacle of the galaxy, all the technologies used by the government-in-exile are no different from the scum with negative combat effectiveness. It doesn't even need to build a 4D data model, and quickly enters forty digits in a few seconds. numeric password.
"—The order is passed, and the magnetic field control room is released."
The mechanical sound stopped suddenly, and then the door slid open.
This is the magnetic field control room? Celia stepped in, and the alloy door closed immediately behind her.
The main power supply has been cut off by the dark star warriors, but there is still a backup power supply in the magnetic control room, and the huge room is shrouded in a dim light. Celia put Claire down against the wall, and suddenly heard the Griffin's vigilance: "Be careful! There are people in the room!"
As soon as these words came out, Heinrich, who was about to say something, immediately shut up, frowning and looking at Celia worriedly.
Celia didn't panic, picked up the saber and walked slowly into the darkness. The magnetic control room was full of cabinets connected to the ceiling, and the humming sound of the anti-magnetic field center easily overwhelmed his almost silent footsteps. Soon Celia turned to the back of a certain cabinet, and suddenly turned around: "Who is it!"
There was a clatter of the chain, and a circle of bright blue electric light exploded from the metal intertwining!
The sneaking black shadow pounced like a beast, almost knocking Celia to the ground—but only listened to Ding! Ding! There were several loud bangs, and the flashing chain was broken free in an uproar. The attacker let out a painful roar, and was kicked hard by Celia to the corner of the wall!
"Damn—" the attacker hissed and cursed, and then Celia stepped on his chest. The intense pressure immediately turned all his words into screams!
The tip of Celia's knife was pressed against his throat, and when he looked at it through the reflection of the blade, he was a little surprised: "Dean?"
—The one curled up in the shadows, covered in blood, gasping for breath like a wounded beast, was Dean, the top student at the Egret Star Military Academy!
"What's going on here?" Heinrich was obviously impressed by this imaginary love rival who hadn't even grown hair yet, and he was also shocked when he heard that - Dean's identity is different from Claire's, the latter comes from a rich businessman's family, while the former The only son of the major general of the army! Regardless of whether he was taken into captivity or joined the Dark Star Hall voluntarily, the political significance of this is too tricky!
"If you want to kill, kill yourself, asking me to beg for mercy is a dream!" At this moment, Dean suddenly raised his head, and said loudly: "—If you do many injustices, you will kill yourself, and I will wait to see you kill yourself when I die of!"
Heinrich: "…"
Celia: "..."
Celia kicked him lightly, retracted the tip of the knife and asked, "Good scolding—but why are you here?"
This question was asked like an acquaintance, and Dean was stunned when he heard the words, and stared at Celia extremely vigilantly.
Dean was wrapped in electromagnetic chains all over his body. The blood on his face and body was still wet. There were obvious signs of being beaten, and there was a hideous scar on his abdomen after being pierced by a knife. Compared with the Alpha student who was full of moral rules and strong self-esteem in the military academy, he looked like a different person. Celia knelt down, patted his face and asked, "Don't you recognize me?"
Dean's eyes trembled, staring closely at the dark star warrior pattern on his face: "You are..."
"'Thank you for protecting me that day, even though it's just your superior self-esteem, but I will repay you'—Royal Military Academy, Mecha League, have you forgotten these?"
"You, you are—" Dean couldn't believe it, and stammered tremblingly, "Ga, Gavin?!"
"Gavin Celia." Celia cut off the chain a few times with a knife, and stretched out his hand to pull him up: "It's a long story, please tell me why you are here first."
Dean's brain almost stopped, and his whole mind was completely blank. Celia helped him to sit by the cabinet like a puppet.
Although the current situation is tense and Dean's situation is worthy of sympathy, Heinrich has a deep understanding of his mood at the moment, and can't help feeling a little gloating. Fortunately, Celia was kind and asked the Griffin to give him emergency treatment for the injuries on his face and body. After a while, he asked in a trembling voice: "But—but Gavin Celia—is Marshal Celia?"
"Yes, I am the unlucky marshal named Celia. Why are you here? What happened in the Mech League final?"
Dean couldn't even roll his eyes. He opened and closed his mouth, opened and closed, and said tremblingly after repeating several times: "Aren't you a Dark Star Warrior? Are you hypnotizing me again? Tell you if I am You will be fooled, if you have the guts, just kill me..."
"I'm not a Dark Star Warrior, Dean." Celia leaned over and pressed his shoulders hard, staring at his bewildered eyes, his eyes seemed to have great power: "Listen to me, the situation is tense now, we I don't have much time. I'm not sure I can bring you and Claire back to the surface alive, so every word you say now counts. Tell me what happened after the final and why you are here, Dark Star Hall What did you bring the alliance for?"
Every word he said was extremely dignified, and Dean finally realized the severity of the situation: "Have you seen Claire?"
Celia pointed behind her.
"...!" Dean finally found the unconscious Claire leaning against the wall, and said anxiously, "Is he okay? He was hypnotized by the Dark Star Hall! Back then in the corridor of the base—"
He paused, as if he wanted to sort out the messy memories in his mind: "That's right... In the corridor of the rematch base, we were all blasted into the desert... Then Claire and I were both killed by that dark star named Osrod." The samurai caught us, and they wanted to kill us, but a guy named Yunes said, "This Claire has the talent to be a Dark Star Warrior, and he can be taken back to the headquarters for surgery. This guy named Dean is from the Imperial Army." Ministry, it may be of great use in the future'... At that time, I wondered why he knew that I was from the military department?!"
"Because there are traitors." Celia said quietly, and then asked: "What happened next?"
"They hypnotized both Claire and me. After waking up, Claire can't remember anything. He will do whatever the Dark Star Warrior tells him to do. As for why hypnosis doesn't work for me, Yunes has tried it many times. In the end, I could only use torture to force me to do things for them—"
Celia suddenly interrupted him: "The hypnosis of the Dark Star Hall is useless to you?"
Dean nodded, and the boy's blood-stained face was particularly stubborn under the light: "It's useless, they hypnotized me many times, and they can only beat me like this in the end."
"... They beat you like this, and you didn't give in?"
Dean's eyes were firm and clear, and he only said one word: "No!"
Under the dim light, Celia's expression was a bit strange, it was hard to tell whether it was moved or unbelievable, and after a while he asked softly, "Heinrich... did you hear that?"
Before Dean realized who Heinrich was, he heard a voice from the air: "Could it be that his spiritual threshold is high?"
"No, it has nothing to do with that." Celia took a deep breath, staring closely at Dean's clear and bright eyes: "—it's the effect of pure will, it's his... firm belief without flaws."
He got up and patted Dean on the shoulder, his tone changed slightly: "What happened afterwards, why did Dark Star Hall bring you to the alliance?"
This question is very easy to answer, and Dean gritted his teeth: "They want to kill me! They want to give me as a gift to the alliance, so that the alliance will disclose my execution to the whole universe!"
—The strategy of exposing the death penalty of the son of the imperial general to the universe is not without viciousness. On the one hand, this is an extremely serious political humiliation for the empire, and on the other hand, it has completely torn the face of the empire and the alliance. The peace faction headed by Speaker Marcus was also forced into a situation where he had to go to war with the empire .
This plan of killing two birds with one stone has clearly exposed the ambition of the Dark Star Hall—they want to promote the war between the alliance and the empire, and want to get the fisherman's profit from it.
"Ophiuchus galaxy—" Celia whispered, almost word for word: "Sure enough, the Dark Star Hall is preparing to join the alliance and send troops to the Ophiuchus galaxy!"
Heinrich's complexion suddenly changed.
Celia stood up, her deep profile glowed with a jade-like light under the lamp. He pondered for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly and turned to Dean: "Sorry, I can't take you up tonight."
Dean shuddered, but didn't flinch.
"If you are missing, Osrod has no reason to suspect that Barnett's death was caused by Yunes, because everyone knows that Yunes really wants to join forces with the parliament to attack the empire, and he will not destroy the Great Wall and kill you." Let go." Celia paused, patted Dean on the shoulder: "—but I won't let you die, I will definitely rescue you before the execution."
Dean bit his lip and nodded vigorously.
At that moment, not only Celia, but even Heinrich admired this young Alpha cadet. After being tortured for many days, he still faces the threat of death. After being rescued with great difficulty, he has to be abandoned at the most critical moment. Crazy—but the cadet could take it.
It's unimaginable how much willpower this requires.
"A strong youth makes a country strong..." Celia sighed softly, and she didn't know whether she was lamenting the growing strength of the empire or the irreversible decline of the alliance.
He turned around and helped Claire who was unconscious in the corner, and looked around. The "anti-magnetic field" mentioned by the population of Youkong Star is very rare in both the empire and the alliance. For a while, they didn't know how to operate the switch here. Celia pondered for a moment, and motioned Dean to hide in the corner, and then called out the Griffon equipment. The shoulder-mounted electromagnetic gun, the whole operation platform collapsed with one shot!
The flames rushed to the ceiling suddenly, and the flying large parts knocked several nearby cabinets out of shape. The backup power supply went out immediately, followed by a rapid red light—"Alarm! Alert! An explosion occurred in the magnetic field control room, an explosion occurred in the magnetic field control room!"
With a bang, the door opened, and Celia grabbed Claire, only to see Dean rushing out from behind the cabinet, and asked loudly with almost all his strength, "Marshal! Are you on the side of the empire?!"
These words put all his hopes on the line. They stared at each other deeply in the firelight. After a while, Celia said in a deep voice, "Yes, I am on the side of the empire."
Tears welled up from Dean's eyes in an instant, this young man who was fearless in the face of death finally choked up and nodded at this moment.
·
The explosion almost immediately attracted all the Dark Star Warriors on half a floor, but Celia's attire was no different from that of Dark Star Warriors in the dark, and she supported a comatose Dark Star Apprentice. Mixed in, rushed directly to the elevator.
A strong whirlwind rolled up out of thin air from the ground of the building—that was the starman in the sky who finally broke free from the anti-magnetic field. They usually recognize people directly through thought waves, so they are not deceived by the disguise, and immediately rush to Celia's ear: "Run!" "Yunez is coming!" "Run!"
Younes hadn't had time to order the elevator to be blocked. In fact, someone rushed to tell him the moment the explosion happened, but before he could issue any orders, Osrod came to the door with a group of his men: "Barnett was killed. You Should you give me an explanation?"
Younes immediately asked back: "Whoever kills goes to whom, what does it matter to me?"
The two sides confronted each other, only the sound of running and shouting from the crowd in the distance could be heard. In the firelight, Osrod suddenly smiled, and there was a bit of undisguised complacency in his eyes: "Do you know how he died?"
"He was assassinated by a person with a high mental threshold by controlling the test subject—Younes, everyone knows that the only person here who can do this is you."
At the same time, a hundred meters away, the elevator opened with a ding-dong, and Celia swung her wrist and cut off the head of a middle-ranked warrior, and retreated into the elevator in the bloody light.
"Yunez is coming this way, we have to leave!" The starman in the sky hovered at the moment the door closed, blowing Celia's hair like the wind, and then disappeared above the elevator: "We are here Youkong Star is waiting for you—but we can’t wait for you for long, please come!”
Celia gasped and wiped off the blood splashed on her face, and just about to ask something, the star in the sky disappeared quickly.
The elevator ascended steadily and quickly. If Yunes arrived at this time, although he could not stop the elevator from running, he could use his mind to control the space stars. Fortunately, they have already left. These beings in the form of electromagnetic waves can easily penetrate the universe, and they must return to the space star soon.
"What are you going to do next?" Heinrich asked.
"Wait until tomorrow's press conference."
"Why did you lie to that Dean?"
"..." Celia frowned, and Heinrich said coldly before he could speak: "Don't quibble, you are just lying to him—you will never be on the same side as the Empire, except for dealing with the Dark Star Hall! "
"Dealing with the Dark Star Hall is the basis for us to reach an agreement. As for the rest, you know where our differences lie." Celia suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Didn't you say that there are two important things you want to tell me?"
Heinrich was silent for a few seconds.
"I dissected the phoenix..." he whispered for a while, as if hesitating for something. "And got it...fixed."
Celia felt that he was hiding something and didn't say anything almost immediately, but he didn't reveal it, so he just hummed.
"I just want to reassure you that the second thing is that I called the Ninth Fleet when you killed Barnett—"
Celia raised her eyes sharply, a smile floated on her lips, only to hear Heinrich say: "We are on our way to the Union now."
