The Star Knight - 56. Chapter Fifty Six

Raymond: “Hey, should you get up and do something?”

Opal: “This is all trash that you made yourself. Clean it up by yourself.”

Raymond was frizzy, working hard to clean the spacecraft, while Opal lay leisurely on the sofa and read the E7 newspaper, and casually said: “Can’t you deal with an army of a thousand people? Honeymoon, eh?”

Raymond: “…”

Raymond spent six full hours cleaning up the spacecraft. The rubbish was stuffed into the calciner and burned. He was sweating profusely, lying on the sofa with his shoulders naked, and said, “Go sailing.”

Opal: “E7-Set route, female star.”

Times-VI took off, Raymond said: “I want to buy a home cleaning robot.”

Opal turned over and straddled on Raymond’s waist and abdomen, saying: “You are the home robot.”

Raymond: “I am your spouse! Your head! Who was saying that I am a human being like you!”

Opal smiled and untied his belt, Raymond sat up and hugged him, buried his face on his shoulder, and said, “I’m out of strength, I don’t want to play.”

Opal said: “Try the one the wrench said?”

Raymond started to tease Opal indiscriminately, rolled over and pressed him on the sofa, and the two played several times. Without imagining heaven, Raymond either moved too much or too little, and his strength was not good. Po was a little bit painful, and there was no happiness at all. In the end, I had to use it to imagine heaven and continue to play.

There is a direct boat from Lie Xing to Luo Xing, and it only takes 36 hours to go to and from the starry sky gate, which is very fast. During the period, Opal and Raymond laughed at each other in addition to being intimacy, and even played bouncy pool.

Thirty-six hours later, Times-VI arrived at the periphery of the actress. Opal was resting on Raymond’s lap. Raymond was reading the diary of the mercenary.

“Please submit your entry application and 16-digit passcode.” The other party sent a communication.

“What is the communication password?” Opal stood up and said: “And this thing? We are here for our honeymoon.”

Raymond said: “Client: Chairman Ai Li of the’Plant Research Promotion Association’, the local identification is X37007351A.”

“The female star is in a special period and does not accept any visitors.” The electronic voice in the space station prompted: “Reiterate, your identity is not allowed to enter the female star, and you refuse to enter.”

Opal threatened: “Hey, man, are you a robot or a human? Ask the humans to speak, otherwise our king will beat you into a discus…”

“Warning, warning, force expulsion in three seconds, one.”

When it was said that it was too late, hundreds of small robots flew out of the space station, and Raymond roared: “Get out of the way! What’s the matter?!”

Opal roared: “This robot must have a broken central processing unit! What is’one’! Shouldn’t it be counted down three times?!”

The cannon of the era-VI vibrated violently, the defensive cover fell rapidly, more and more attack fighters, and the spacecraft propellers started to accelerate unexpectedly, throwing Raymond down.

“What to do!” Opal said: “Too many!”

Raymond: “Enter the atmosphere! Find cover!”

Opal turned the spacecraft, dragged the flames and rushed into the atmosphere, chasing nearly a hundred defensive fighters behind, Raymond rushed to the control position of the turret, set up the sight and turned the muzzle, and an electromagnetic light penetrated the group of aircraft chasing the spacecraft. .

The combat robots were divided into two columns and outflanked in an instant. The Times-VI thruster exploded. There was a loud “boom” and the hull deviated. Opal said, “The protective cover is gone!”

Raymond looked back and shouted, “Charge into the forest!”

Opal: “The bite is too tight! The fort can’t turn! I rely on, Raymond! Look below!”

A magnificent forest fire ignited on the female star, and six space stations outside the atmosphere were firing in turn, turning tens of millions of hectares of land into a sea of flames.

Mars surged in the sky, and a huge mother tree glowed green in the center of the planet.

“I don’t have time to watch!” Leimen shouted: “No matter what you have, let’s take pictures later!”

Opal did not forget: “I’m here to travel for my honeymoon! Can’t you solve everything?!”

The raindrops of light bombs covered the entire spaceship like a long river. The Times-VI caught fire, the console made an alarm one after another, and the earth got closer and closer. Raymond said, “Let’s land smoothly! Open the hatch! Take your weapons with you!”

Opal said: “What are you going to do! You will die if you fall!”

Raymond: “Listen to me!”

Opal opened the cabin door, the fighters gathered again, shot the light into the cabin, and took them out of the cabin. Raymond set up the impact gun and fired a shot outside the cabin. Opal said: “E7! Keep the spaceship!” ”

Raymond fired four times in succession, buckled the cable hook beside the cabin door to his belt, and rushed out of the spaceship a few steps, leaped on the top of the fighter that rushed to the front, and swung the impact gun in a circle.

The winch spins rapidly, the wire rope is drawn less and less, and the explosions outside one after another make Opal look dumbfounded.

Raymond shot several times in the air, and Times-VI rushed into the female radish star forest. Leaves, branches and fruits rushed in randomly. The darkness outside the porthole, Raymond slammed the steel cable and flew in like a cannonball. Falling together with Opal, the spacecraft plunged into darkness, the left engine exploded and black smoke came out, and one end fell into the forest.

The fighter only chased over the forest and left.

In the dark cabin, E7 cast a light screen to analyze the surrounding environment. Raymond lay in Opal’s arms and sighed.

“It seems you are right.” Raymond said: “Something must have happened to the actress.”

Opal pushed Raymond away, sat in front of the console, inspected the ship’s damage, and said, “The main energy pool has exploded and the engine is destroyed. Our crash landing site is the swamp area of the female star… oh no good. ”

The spacecraft slowly sank, and Raymond said: “E7!”

“It’s useless!” Opal said: “Get out of here!”

Opal put a weapon on his back and picked up a backpack. Raymond grabbed E7. The two of them rushed out of the spaceship’s back compartment and sank slowly in a muddy mud. The spaceship was nearly half sinking in the mud. Every time he pulls out his foot, he sinks deeper. When he rushes out twenty meters away from the spacecraft, the opal is already sinking to his waist.

“It’s pitch!” Raymond said: “Don’t move! Put the sword across and level it!”

“Don’t be nervous!” Opal hurriedly said: “I have a way!”

Raymond: “Don’t be active! It will sink deeper and deeper!”

Opal had been submerged in mud to his chest. He stretched out his hands and took a deep breath, releasing the power of faith. The mud under his feet began to surge, and the asphalt lake formed a tumbling wave, pushing them slowly to the shore.

Both of them were covered in muddy dark green mud. Raymond tried to take a step and went ashore.

Opal let out a sigh of relief, and when he looked back at the center of the asphalt lake, only the top sign of Times-VI was sunk.

After three seconds, even the logo was gone.

“Can you use your mind to make it out?” Lei Meng said.

Opal said: “Theoretically.”

Raymond: “Try it.”

Opal: “But I don’t have enough confidence now…”

Raymond: “…”

“Try to make the E7 remote-controlled spacecraft take off?” Opal said, “E7.”

E7 was stuck to the shore with asphalt, Opal lifted it up, E7 spun out a lot of mud and squirted his face quickly, Raymond laughed, laughing staggeringly, Opal wiped his face embarrassedly , The attempt failed, and I had to follow the forest and begin to explore the surrounding environment.

“This is really an unforgettable honeymoon trip.” Opal didn’t have a good air.

Raymond looked up at the surrounding scenery and smiled: “Don’t you think the environment is pretty good?”

The noon sun was projected from the top of Nuluo Forest. The gloomy environment was full of humid scent, and the scorch of the fire drifted from a distance. Opal and Raymond found a path through the forest. The ground was covered with fallen leaves. The air roots of N. sylvestris spin and entangle around them as if they are alive.

“Be careful.” Opal said, “This is the female cypress? What do they want to do.”

Opal stared at the three threatening air roots that stretched out in front of him, as if it wanted to choke Opal’s throat, but was afraid of him.

The aerial roots of trees are everywhere, like a living snake hanging from the top of the branches.

“The female cypress will attack people.” Leimen always remained vigilant: “But they did not repel us. You have to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible. What tools do you bring in your bag?”

“Let me see.” Opal found an open space and sat down. There were dozens of trees around here, and their air roots stretched out towards the center to form an encircling circle, as if tree spirits were spying on two trees maliciously. A traveler from a foreign land.

Opal: “I began to suspect that this is a legendary holiday resort, the feeling of these trees is too unfriendly.”

Raymond: “We just made a mistake in the crash landing position… As far as I know, the female star is divided into three layers, and we are now at the bottom of the entire planet. Maybe other places are still very friendly.”

Opal opened the asphalt-stained backpack, which contained a photon knife, some food, and a wrapped gift box.

Raymond looked at the contents of the backpack blankly.

Raymond: “Let me see, what is this?”

Opal: “A gift to Mu Shu… We haven’t seen each other for a long time…”

Raymond: “You gave him a fantasy paradise?”

Opal: “What’s wrong? I think I like it very much. What can’t be done to him… Don’t open it! I promise it’s a single one!”

“What’s this again?” Raymond took out a palm-sized brown fruit from his backpack.

Opal remembered, he held the fruit with three fingers, stood up slowly, and turned it towards the air roots, which evaded one after another.

“The fruit of the female sclerophyll.” Opal murmured: “Mu Shu sent me before. No wonder they don’t attack us.”

Raymond looked up at the tree and said, “It’s not the same as their fruit.”

Opal said: “This is the biggest tree in the middle of Luo’s mother.”

The air roots dispersed and returned to their respective trees quietly. Opal held the fruit and held hands with Raymond, looking for a way out of the forest. There was an explosion in the distance, and the earth kept shaking. Raymond motioned to Opal to follow him, drew out the weapon rack, and ran to the depths of the forest.

A group of local people were holding weapons against the fighter planes above the forest. They yelled as they ran, burned, and exploded. More than a dozen wounded were struggling painfully in the sea of flames.

Opal roared: “Don’t fire!”

Raymond caught up from behind, pressed the opal, and said loudly: “Be careful!”

The two rolled on the ground, the burning tree was crushed down, Opal ran across the sword to block the light bombs of the combat robot that fell from the sky, Raymond mounted the impact rifle, and went straight up the tree trunk, holding his breath. The root swung an arc, four consecutive bursts of fire, the impact gun|mouth shot out a beam of light, piercing the fighters chasing the locals.

Opal rescued people from the fire, rolled on the ground according to the wounded to extinguish the flames, four or five in a row, 80% of the flying fighter planes above the forest were shot down by Raymond, and all the others turned around and were recalled.

Opal shouted to a burned man: “Are you still alive? Hello! How are you?”

Raymond took his weapon back and groaned all over the wounds.

“Need heal.” Raymond said, “Find someone sober.”

Opal checked in turn and saw that they were all wearing green camouflage uniforms, local soldiers? He helped a wounded soldier who was not seriously injured and asked, “What happened here?”

“You…Who are you?” The wounded soldier said with difficulty: “Where did you come from?”

“We are mercenaries, Miss Ai Li is the employer.” Raymond frowned: “The actress is at war?”

The wounded soldier screamed in pain, Opal took off his jacket, pressed his burned and cracked skin, and the wounded soldier said: “Ellie…please, please come…helper, I know…after…back There is a ground patrol boat. It is…500 meters away from here, on the marsh just to the west…Use…this, drive over.”

The wounded soldier handed over a remote control key, Raymond took it, clicked on the ear buttons of the Opal, and said: “I will drive, you are here to protect them and keep in touch at any time.”

“Take E7 too.” Opal said.

Raymond took E7 away, and Opal stepped forward to examine the wounded one by one, flipped through their backpacks, found the canteen and fed them some water.

“Give…I have a drink too, thanks… buddy.” A wounded soldier moved over with difficulty, bleeding from his thigh.

After feeding the water, the moaning of the wounded soldiers on the ground was much lower. The opal’s fingerless gloves were covered with blood from their burns. He flipped through the electronic ID of one of the wounded soldiers and checked the projection. Personal information on the light screen.

Shown as follows:

Name: Yake

Affiliation: Nvluo ground civilian peacekeeping force third unit 47th squad, captain of the patrol unit.

Hometown: Anta Keli, Prairie City.

Genetic code: (crypto code to hide stripes)

Opal said: “Are you a militia?”

After Yake finished drinking the beverage in the kettle, he was miraculously feeling better. He nodded and said: “Yes, the actress is in a civil war, thank goodness, you are finally here. Did the mercenary king Azeroth let you come?”

Opal said: “No, this is an open mission. Let me talk about what happened. We received a mission to capture poachers. How did it change?”

“Go to the fucking poacher!” a militiaman said angrily: “That’s from the Imperial Army! The Empire and the Republic use this as a battlefield!”

Opal said inexplicably, “One person said. As long as one person, tell me the details of the incident.”

Yake intermittently began to talk about a series of problems that have happened to the female star in the past four cosmic months-the female star has been an independent planet recognized by the interstellar community since 10,000 years ago. With the symbolic meaning of the mother of female star, the empire and the Republic are both Don’t dare to interfere. In the dark age of 7000 years ago, the female star was rare. It was one of the few refuges that were not destroyed by the war. The area covered by technology is very small. Almost all residents adhere to the natural and pure attitude of life. .

And Nuluoshu will attack the special attributes of foreign visitors, which also makes Nuluo not prosperous in the tourism industry. But just three years ago, there was a local conflict between the actress and the Mayflower bloodshed incident…

Opal was almost crying.

“I am most afraid of historical events such as the November Uprising, the Iris Revolution, etc.” Opal was frightened by the history of the Lie Star, and said helplessly: “Can you not mention history?”

Raymond came back and assisted Opal to hug the wounded soldiers onto the patrol boat. Some wounded soldiers can already walk on their own, but the whole body still looks like a horrible burn.

“It’s getting better so quickly?” Raymond asked in surprise.

“The mother’s milk.” Opal still remembered the method provided by the doctor named He Sai during the treatment of Raymond. He casually said: “It can increase the activity of cells, continue to say.”

Yake was lying on the patrol boat. Raymond drove the airship along the map indicators. Opal stepped on the window and listened to Yake’s introduction of the local situation.

The Mayflower Bloodshed was due to the Republic of the Milky Way’s proposal of a 120-year sapling purchase right to the female Luo Xing, and because the children of the female Luo’s mother could not survive, this kind of purchase right was not to buy the saplings, but to be on the planet. It is planted in the form of a concession.

The Republic paid a large sum of money to the female star, and at the same time promised to set up a processing plant to assist the female star in establishing their own processing line. As a result, the local government agency Nv Freedom Association split into two factions, and the organization’s parliament passed a proposal to cooperate with the empire-most of this part was the new immigrants who came to the Nv Xing to cultivate after the Dark Ages.

The local parliamentarians left the parliament angrily and returned to the forest, while the new immigrants occupied the outer areas of the forest. The prosperity of the Republic’s processing plants has resulted in a proportional increase in the unemployment rate of locals…

Opal was full of black lines, and hadn’t gotten into the topic after talking for a long time.

“Say poachers.” Raymond said.

Yake said: “The workers of the Republic were arrested and taken hostage by the poachers. The female star was unable to rescue them. Four hundred workers and the workshop director…all were killed. This is the Mayflower bloodshed.”

Opal vaguely remembered seeing this on Liexing’s Interstellar News. He asked, “So the Republic started to interfere?”

Yake said: “At that time, tourists from the empire were killed. The ambassador of the Republic and the ambassador of the empire came forward to negotiate. As a result, the Republic evacuated and the empire intervened and took over all fortifications on the periphery of the planet, including satellite light cannons and combat aircraft.

“There are only a few thousand people in the Plant Research Promotion Association. They protect 120,000 local residents of Luoxing and take refuge under the canopy of the mother of Luoshen. The Empire instructed a person named Kahn to set up an organization called the New Development Engineering Department. Some people who have seen him say that he is the leader of poachers.”

“The people in the engineering department are all poachers. The empire controls all areas except the sea of trees, including the three rift valleys, deserts, and grasslands. New immigrants moved there, and the locals stayed under the mother tree.”

Raymond said: “What will the plant research promotion have against capital?”

Yake replied: “We have a mother of Luo.”

Opal: “That’s just a tree.”

Raymond thought for a while, and said, “The mother of Nuo Luo is more than just a tree, does she have it?”

Yake agreed: “No, the mother of Luo Nuo has her wisdom, she is integrated with this planet, and the whole Luo Nuo star is her incarnation. All we eat and drink are her flesh and blood.”

Raymond nodded slowly, and Yake said: “Before humans entered, all life on the female star was her incarnation. She produced photosynthesis and provided the planet’s oxygen. Her branches and fruits gave birth to female female trees. Animals eat her body and blood. We eat animals, green beasts, shimmering fish and cold-water shrimps, nectar from sycamore produced by Yeniao, and fungi. These are all food.”

Raymond glanced at Opal, and the two looked at each other for a moment.

Raymond: “What are you thinking? Any suggestions?”

Opal: “I’m hungry.”

Raymond: “…”

The patrol car gradually rose up, jumped through the dense woods, and rushed out of the top of the tree from the upper and lower passages. The top of the tree was like a dense green net, and the entire sea of trees of the female radish star was endless, rustling under the gentle breeze.

This is the second floor of Nuluo ground. The branches and leaves of towering ancient trees form a flat ground. In the distance is a village with a guard post. Leimen jumped out of the car and asked Opal: “What about now?”

Opal said blankly: “Let’s take a look and find something to eat.”

Many people ran out of the village, and Yake said, “The mercenaries are here! Azeroth sent someone to help us!”

Immediately some people cheered excitedly, and there were even tears in their eyes. They ran to the patrol car and carried the wounded on a stretcher. The villagers passed ten or ten, and hundreds of people rushed out to watch them.

“Who is a mercenary?” A young man said: “Introduce myself, I am the person in charge of Vault 74, my name is Alan, how many people have you come?”

Opal assisted the villagers in taking the wounded out of the car and sending them to the village for treatment. Raymond said, “My companion and I, our spaceship is stuck in a swamp. Can you find something to eat?”

“Smoke and Sword Mercenary Corps, Grade B, great!” The young man said, “Where are your companions? How many servings are you going to have?”

Raymond said: “Two servings of food and water are enough, only me and him.”

Everyone was silent. After nearly a minute of dead silence, Opal said blankly: “What’s the matter?”

Raymond frowned: “Is there any problem?”

“You only have two people?” the young man asked in disbelief.

Opal took off his fingerless gloves and came over and said: “Yes, there are only two people, what’s the problem?”

The villagers all showed disappointed expressions, and they dispersed cleanly for a while. The person in charge’s face turned black and said, “Are you really kidding?”

Raymond said with a serious face: “Yes, two people, first take us to see the employer, your Chairman Ai Li, I will negotiate with her.”

The person in charge said coldly: “I will send you to the central living area now.”

Opal suddenly exploded and said: “At least give something to eat first! Don’t you lack food?”

The person in charge said impatiently: “There will be someone from the Central District to entertain you! What anxious! I think I’m here on vacation!”

Opal got into a tattered car and set off.

Passing many human habitats along the way, there are still many blue-blue animals galloping in the sea of trees. The sky is getting dark. Flocks of flying horses are flying in the shade of the trees. Their skin and body are almost transparent, light blue. The veins of blood vessels are faintly visible, and the thin film outside the internal organs is shining with fluorescence.

“Suddenly it’s dark?” Opal asked.

The person in charge snorted.

Raymond explained to Opal in a low voice, “Now I’m under the shade of Nulu’s mother.”

The branches and leaves of the mother sylvestris are extremely luxuriant. It has lived on this planet for nearly 100 million years. All sylvestris are her descendants. Its canopy covers nearly one-third of the planet. Under the prosperous shade of trees, This place will be the eternal dark night. In the dark night, countless beams of light cast into the shade-covered area, like the holy light of heaven on the other side of the cloud falling obliquely.

The huge pillars surrounded by ten people stood on top of the sky and propped up the entire night. Opal was still wondering how these stone pillars were built. Raymond explained: “They are the air roots of the mother of Luo Nuo.”

Thousands of rattans climbed up along the aerial roots, and the flowers on the rattans bloomed with light that illuminates the night. As the suspended vehicle gradually deepens, the fluorescence glows after leaving the sun area.

The car passed through many checkpoints, and finally opened the car door in a village inside the central area. The female Luoxingren established the central city under the protection of the mother tree. The atmosphere here is tense and there is a post every ten steps.

“The front is a temporary command center.” The guard said: “Unrelated people are not allowed to enter.”

The person in charge said: “It’s an emissary sent by King Azeroth, the fierce star.”

The guard said: “Are the mercenaries here?”

“The mercenaries are coming!” The guards rushed, and the news spread. Someone ran to the distant building to report. After a while, a dozen people came out at a running speed.

Raymond showed the mercenary diary and asked: “Which is Miss Ai Li?”

Everyone was silent, and the leading woman said: “Come in and talk about it.”

It seems that these people are the managers of the central area. People talked a lot. The women who talked to them began to introduce them one by one. Opal was so hungry that she was in a bad mood and asked, “Is there anything to eat?”

“Yes.” The woman said: “Hello, my name is Wendy.”

Raymond frowned unhappy. This task was really troublesome. He hadn’t met his employer for a long time, but was involved in a clueless civil war.

“What about the employer?”

“The employer is my sister.” Wendy said, “Do you have any other companions? What did King Azeroth say?”

Opal said: “Nothing to say, we just came here to ask you to cancel the order.”

Raymond motioned to him to stay calm, and said, “Miss, where is your sister now? According to the Mercenary Code, we are not allowed to be involved in any political disputes between galaxies…”

Wendy led them into an extremely spacious wooden building hall with rows of circular seats. She breathed a sigh of relief, cut off Raymond’s words, and said, “I believe everything can be resolved reasonably. Let’s first Take a moment to get to know each other. Get something to eat for our guests.”

Someone brought something, topped with a steak made of green meat, served with sycamore flesh to be tenderly fried, and a few toasted fruit-like breads for dinner.

She said to others: “The meeting is temporarily cancelled.”

Opal hadn’t eaten for eighteen hours, and he was almost starving to death. He casually found a seat and sat down to eat.

Raymond said to Wendy: “Azeroth has not given us any instructions. Everything is sent through the general mercenary union. This is just a very ordinary task, and the commission we received does not match the actual content…”

Wendy interrupted hastily: “No, it’s not like that.”

Raymond said: “Miss, please don’t interrupt, I will leave you enough time for you to convince me.”

Although Wendy said that the meeting was over, no one in the hall left. They each found a place to sit down or stand, listening to Raymond’s statement.

“First of all: The commission we received was to capture poachers.” Raymond thought about it for a while and said: “But based on what we have learned along the way, the problem here is far more than just poachers. The actual content and mercenaries are commissioned. The information given by the union is too different.”

“Secondly: the client is missing.” Raymond glanced at the venue and said politely: “If I guessed correctly, she should have disappeared or died?”

No one answered Raymond. Raymond closed the mercenary diary and said: “Again: The issue of the female star involves interstellar political disputes. Both the empire and the Republic intervene in this matter. According to Article 22 of the code, perform the task. During the process, it is not allowed to get involved in any civil war, national war or ethnic war.”

Wendy said: “But as far as I know, most of your mercenaries don’t have to abide by this rule when you go out on mission…”

Raymond said: “Let me finish.”

“Finally.” Raymond said: “We are understaffed. The initial purpose is to travel to the female star. You see, the spacecraft is in the swamp, and the whole mercenary group is only me. My partner is on his honeymoon. He will not help…”

Opal: “Hi! Who said that! Can’t I say anything?”

Raymond smiled: “Then there are only two of us.”

The opal was full, satisfied and heart-wrenching-people wanted to sleep as soon as they were full, so he stood up, stretched, sneezed, and lay down on the seat of the head of parliament in the center, with his eyes closed.

Everyone: “…”

Raymond: “Inconsistent entrustment, missing employers, political disputes, shortage of manpower. To sum up, I have the right to apply to revoke this entrustment and submit arbitration to the headquarters of the Lie Star Trade Union. According to the contract, you should pay all our losses this time. Compensation, and 20% liquidated damages.”

Raymond closed the diary of the mercenary and said, “My words are over, what do you want to say?”
