The Star Knight - 69. Chapter Sixty Nine

“Hey, brother, wake up.”

“Ah–” Opal yelled in pain, only to feel that there were thousands of needles piercing his skin all over his body, his eyes were full of tears, and he was lying on the hospital bed panting in pain.

A mercenary immediately said: “Don’t catch it! Don’t catch it!”

Opal stretched out his hand and grabbed a few times on his chest. The skin broke suddenly, blood poured out, and the sheets were soaked.

“Get the radiotherapy apparatus quickly!” the mercenary shouted: “Bleeding!”

Opal’s hands trembled with difficulty, trying to control himself not to scratch the newly healed skin on his body, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a long time. Two mercenaries used medical medical equipment to heal him and gave him some medicine. , Said: “Take some tranquilizers and rest for a while.”

“How is the situation outside?” Opal Sha said in a throat.

“Cororin escaped.” The mercenary said: “An opponent with his strength appeared and beat him away. The king died, and the gray wolf also died. This time many people died.”

Opal was about to get up, and the mercenary hurriedly said, “Take a rest.”

Opal said: “I…I want to find my comrades in arms.”

The mercenary said, “Sit here for a while. Your injury is not completely healed. You can’t walk around.”

“Come and help!” someone shouted: “A new wounded soldier is coming!”

Opal said: “Where are my ear buckles?”

The mercenary got up to help, saying: “Maybe it was taken off during the treatment, I will help you find it.” And motioned him to rest here.

Opal lay quietly on the bed, with white sheets covering his naked skin, and the window was dusty. The sky and the earth seemed to be full of dust and light, blocking the sun.

There were many mercenaries around them crying in pain, tearing their hearts out, and making noises that were on the verge of collapse. There were crying everywhere, mourning the death of Azeroth.

Opal was quiet for a moment, and could not help shaking, tears from his eyes flowed down, and then hoarse and cry silently.

Azeroth is dead. This is the most painful frustration that Liexing has ever encountered. They have lost almost everything.

Now Opal’s only hope is that Raymond is still alive, otherwise he… he doesn’t know how to face such an impact.

Another mercenary came over and said, “You can’t find your things.”

Opal nodded and said, “Can you help me find a suit? I have to go to the central square to see.”

The hospital was in chaos. At last, someone gave him a set of clothes stained with blood. Opal didn’t know who owned it, so he had to put it on first. Obviously it was a bit small. The rubbing of his pants still made his thigh a little painful. Broken skin.

He just wore a pair of blood-stained trousers, put on a coat, and staggered out with his boots on.

The world was gloomy, the snow had stopped, and there were ruined and collapsed houses along the way. He stopped on the Battle Soul Square, and everyone was crying where he could see.

“Ah—” A mercenary knelt on the square stained with Azeroth’s blood, crying loudly, bowed, put his head on the masonry floor, and couldn’t help shaking.

Opal wiped his tears and said, “Did anyone see Raymond?”

Surrounded by faces with fiery gray faces, they shook their heads one after another, Opal said: “We are all from the mecha team.”

“You survived!” a mercenary said: “The king sacrificed, and the gray wolf also sacrificed.”

“I know.” Opal replied crying: “I… my comrade-in-arms may also be dead.”

There were people crying everywhere. Opal went to the information desk tiredly. The clerk with red eyes and tears on his face said: “I can’t find it…really I can’t find it.”

Opal said: “Mecha team, Raymond.”

The clerk said: “EUT3027 team, captain AE? T1-T5 machine, all killed.”

“No…no.” Opal said: “You will check again.”

“Dead.” The clerk said: “More than 10,000 heroes died in the Mecha team. They are all dead. Go back and live for him.”

Opal’s mind was blank, standing on the edge of the square, and uttering a heart-piercing shout toward the sky.

He was not ready yet… Raymond was not dead, no… Since the day when he became a mercenary, Opal knew that he would die one day, but he was not ready to live alone.

Death is seen very lightly among the mercenaries. It has already assumed that it is just a farewell to life, the collapse of the mine, the dangers on the rest of the planet when the mission is entrusted… Opal has seen a lot of them since childhood. He is ready to face death at any moment.

The vigorous departure was not terrible, all of which were acceptable to him, but he couldn’t accept such a parting anyway, he didn’t even have time to say anything to Raymond… There was no last word, and there was no heroic difference between each other.

Knowing that, he wouldn’t press the escape button in the mecha.

“Opal!” Xun said loudly: “You are still alive, great!”

Sid and Xun came to hug him with red eyes, Opal said, “Raymond is dead.”

He was like a helpless child, kneeling in the middle of the square and crying loudly. Raymond left himself like this, without saying goodbye, to pieces in the Coralin fire.

Opal cried for a long, long time. His whole body was trembling. The skin healed shortly after the burn was cracked again, and his whole body was stained with blood. He really wanted to die like this. What’s the point of being alive?

However, the dead are gone, and the living are still cruelly abandoned in this world.

They were sitting on the square, the rain started, the world was full of dust and ashes, and the blood of Azeroth was still on the steps.

Opal sat for nearly ten hours, calmed down, and quickly came over to him with a physical drink.

Sid said: “Opal, or we will join your mercenary group in the future…”

Xun glanced at Sid and motioned to him not to talk too much now.

Opal nodded and said, “Thank you for your kindness. I think Raymond should be alive, maybe not dead.”

Sid said: “Opa, you…”

Xun said, “Why don’t you go ask again.”

Opal said: “I want to walk by myself.”

Xun said, “Put this on.”

Opal took his windbreaker and put it on. The pace was a bit unstable. After passing through the Battle Soul Square, the garden was ruined in a mess, and a few Pohms were homeless and trembling in the rain.

Opal looked around and suddenly felt that this place was so unfamiliar. He didn’t even have the strength to walk. He just wanted to bury himself on this planet and merge with the earth.

His beliefs collapsed, his soul was burnt to death in this battle, and his life was empty.

Many mercenaries were identifying the relics, most of them were memorials left by the victims. Many teams even sacrificed the entire regiment, and the items had to be temporarily accepted by the mercenary union.

Opal said: “Smoke and Sword Mercenary Corps.”

The clerk was looking for the relics. In a pile of mercenary diaries, something was glowing with a faint blue light.

“It’s that!” Opal said immediately: “It’s on your right! Give it to me!”

After the window, I handed Raymond’s mercenary diary over. Opal opened in disbelief. Inside, there was Raymond’s necklace. The pendant was still shiny just now. What’s the matter? It’s not glowing now? !

“Raymond, are you there?” Opal said, “Is it you? Answer me!”

The mercenaries around looked at Opal, thinking that he was insane for a while.

“Come over and drink some water?” Someone said, “Brother, take a rest.”

“No, no.” Opal said: “I’m fine, I’m fine.”

He took out the necklace, put away the mercenary diary, and said, “Raymond? Can you hear me?”

He stared at Raymond’s necklace intently. The pendant was very ordinary, as he had seen it all the time, without the slightest change.

Opal held his breath and looked at it motionlessly, as if a century had passed, the words of the mercenary beside him interrupted his thinking.

“Are you all right?” someone asked.

Opal shook his head, grabbed the necklace and went out of the square, found a place to sit down, put his fist in front of him, and whispered: “Raymond, are you still alive? Or dead?”

What he expected did not happen, and then he remained motionless in the dense raindrops, staring at the necklace, expecting it to shine again.

He was like a sculpture, sitting in the rain for nearly ten hours, his whole body was soaked by the light rain, and the inside was cold water.

A battle between Cololin and Rekert caused smoke and dust in the atmosphere of Lie Xing. The rain is getting bigger and bigger, and the haze will dissipate at some unknown time. The whole Lie Xing has fallen into the most confused and desperate moment in history. I don’t know where to go next, pain is engulfing the country of mercenaries.

The future will be dark, only the rain that never ends.

“Opal, I found you.” Yinyan came over and sat down on his shoulders.

Opal shivered in the rain and said, “Are you okay.”

His voice was not hoarse like his own, and his eyes were red.

Yinlan said, “Do you want to sleep for a while, come here.”

He took the opal to the eaves. The hall was very empty. It turned out to be the registration point of the Recruiting Academy. The wall collapsed nearly halfway, revealing the gloomy central square in the distance.

Yinlan took off his coat and let Opal put on it. Wearing his drenched clothes, he went to find an atomic furnace and started a fire. A few mercenaries came to warm the fire. Everyone was silent. Nothing. chat.

“Where are your members?” Opal said.

“Dead.” Yinyuan said: “They were all dead. When the incident happened, I was gambling money in the entertainment area. The boss took other people to fight. I didn’t catch up. When I came back, Cololin had already lifted off.”

Opal nodded, and leaned against Yinyan, and a mercenary in the heat said: “Why is he so strong? He has committed so many evil deeds. Can no one in the universe punish him?”

“Who was the man who appeared later?” Another said, “Do you know? The silver mecha, or let’s ask him to avenge the king.”

Opal said: “He can’t do it either. He has been defeated by Cololin once.”

Everyone was silent, and someone said, “Sooner or later he will perish.”

“It’s hard to tell.” A tall mercenary said to these people: “Even the king died under his hand. I don’t see any hope.”

“Someone will let him pay for the debt.” Yinyan said: “Let’s live, I hope we can all live to the day when we see the destruction of Cololin with our own eyes.”

Opal said: “The hope is very slim, very slim…”

He was almost sure of what Cororin had come here for, except for assassinating Azeroth, it was probably because of Nolan’s knife.

If the knife is an ancient mecha, then Cororin has two mechas in his hands.

Ledgerson said that there are five Star Knights in total, and Cororin has two mechas. If the other three are joined together, they may be able to defeat him, but they have not joined together, and I am afraid they will not fight together in the future. Colonin.

Moreover, the Sabre-toothed Tiger is dead, and now Reckert and Ledgerson alone may no longer be Coralin’s opponents.

Then Kolorin’s power will only grow stronger, he is invincible, and even Reckett can’t defeat him.

“What about Liexing’s future?” someone asked.

Another mercenary replied: “I don’t know, the boss and the S-level mercenaries are in a meeting. I heard that Haitang is also back.”

“I saw Haitang’s mecha.” Yinyan said, “It’s behind the tarmac. She is in a meeting with Ulka, Wrench, and Rosen.”

Opal let out a long breath of exhaustion, leaning in Yin’s arms, and said: “When Raymond got on the mecha, he said to me,’I will survive, and I will protect you.'”

Yinluo said: “I know that death always comes suddenly. You can get a chance to say goodbye. God is not thin to you. Many people are always separated suddenly. There is no sign. Do you remember A Sui?”

Opal grumbled, and Yinyan said, “I was drinking with him before the War of the Star Defence, and after drinking and playing fantasy music all night, when I woke up in the morning, I was sleeping, and he went to the mecha team to report. After I woke up, he had already left, and later sacrificed in the Battle Soul Square… just like that, this is a farewell.”

“My mother is too.” said a mercenary who was warming up. “I left home and became a mercenary. When I went home for vacation, I had a fight with her. After a few weeks, someone told me to go home and receive the inheritance. She was shot and killed by my dad. Sometimes you don’t know when it’s the last time. Every separation may be a goodbye.”

“Later.” Opal asked.

“Later I wanted to kill my dad.” The mercenary said blankly.

“You really should have killed him.” Yin Yu said.

The mercenary shrugged and said: “But the Republican police took the lead and locked him up. He is now squatting in jail and living a good life with food and drink. Good people always end up badly, but bad people are living a long life. ”

“Wait for him to get out of jail.” Several other mercenaries said: “I will avenge you, kill him and pay for your mother.”

“Count me in.” Yinlan said.

Opal said: “I also count me. It doesn’t make much sense to live anyway. Let’s go to jail together.”

“Okay.” The mercenary said, “I kept him for eighty years. I remember that after he came out, I will live well. I will help my mother get revenge in the future.”

“good.”

“no problem.”

Several people promised.

Opal was really tired. He watched the red light of the atomic furnace for a while in the hall, and fell asleep. The red light turned into blue light. In his dream, Raymond hugged him and whispered: “When you laugh, my heart Just bang bang.”

He returned to the time when Raymond’s limbs were broken on the spacecraft. He kissed Raymond that day, and his atomic furnace glowed with blue light, violently ups and downs.

How beautiful those days are.

“Wake up!” Yinlong said: “Wake up!”

The sleeping mercenaries opened their eyes one after another, thinking that the attack was coming again, so they picked up their weapons and ran out of the hall.

Opal said: “What’s the matter?”

The mercenaries came out from the broken buildings one after another. The rain stopped. Thirty-six hours of daylight passed. As the evening approached, the clouds were stained red with blood by the setting sun on the horizon.

The evening light enveloped the entire War Soul City, reflected on the floor tiles of the War Soul Square.

The door of the Battle Soul Building opened, and Rosen, Haitang, and Ulka walked out.

The spanner followed closely. Behind him were the heads of nearly a hundred A-level mercenary regiments. The heads dispersed one after another. Standing on the second step, hundreds of thousands of mercenaries gathered in the square, silently. Quiet.

“In the past thirty-six hours.” Wrench said in an unsentimental voice: “We suffered the most serious setback. The mercenary king Azeroth died, and the S-class mercenary gray wolf died heroically. At the same time, Tens of thousands of comrades-in-arms were killed.”

The cries rang out in the square, and the sound of the wrench echoed in every corner of Lie Xing.

“According to the decision made by the S-level mercenaries and the A-level mercenary captain. I, Inleco Khakis, was elected as the sixth mercenary king, inherited the legacy of Azeroth, and led you to continue fighting. ”

There was a moment of silence.

Wrench: “I promise that one day in the future, I will avenge everyone and let Cororin repay all the crimes he committed. This will become the only meaning for me to live from now on.”

“Now, please give me your trust. At the same time, send away Azeroth with the highest respect, and send away our great king. His soul will always stay in the fiery star, blessing our existence and our growth. ”

“He will witness again! Our re-emergence in blood and war!”

“This is the most difficult and painful period for us! The long night of Liexing is coming. We do not have any reliance, internal and external troubles, but I implore you to not fear, do not run away, and do not abandon Liexing. Please give your life in return!”

“The mother star will give endless glory to every child. We are all mercenaries, born to fight and die to fight!”

The wrench bowed, saluted the mercenary, and then stood still, clenched his fists flat, his voice low and sad.

“Fearless courage will be passed down in our lives.”

Three S-class mercenaries clenched fists, followed by the 149 mercenary captains who had been promoted since the War of Defending the Lie Star, bowed to the wrench and bowed and stretched their fists flat.

Then there were the mercenaries in the square like a tide clenching their fists, and in the solemn and silent square, countless mercenaries with red eyes and tears, their fists stretched out.

The wrench said in a deep voice: “The battle never ends. Every comrade in arms, the God of War is with you.”

Three hours later, everyone on the entire planet went to the city of sunset to attend the funeral of Azeroth.

Azeroth lay in the first coffin, his double S-class mercenary diary on his chest.

In the second coffin was placed an S-class mercenary diary, symbolizing the dead gray wolf.

Then came all the mercenaries holding the diaries of their sacrificed comrades. The fiery flames of the high-energy incinerator rushed into the sky, surrounded by a rotating tornado. They put the diaries of the mercenaries into the wind wall, and the strong wind swept the diaries into the center of the pillar of fire. Burned out, the ashes rushed to the sky and spilled onto the earth.

Their souls are integrated with the entire fiery star, and will always stay on the planet where countless blood has been spilled.

everything is over.

Opal kept Raymond’s mercenary diary. He returned to the tarmac and sat quietly facing the long darkness, staring at Raymond’s pendant.

Since it returned to Opal’s hands, it hasn’t glowed again. In the long dark night, only the E7 indicator light was on. Opal whispered in the night: “E7.”

E7 came over, and Opal said: “Now you are the only one left with me.”

Opal was lying on the sofa, neither eating nor drinking, and didn’t want to do anything. He just lay quietly, and when he closed his eyes, he thought of Raymond. He seemed to be still there, and he didn’t know when he would come out of the room. Take a can of coffee, sit in front of the swivel chair of the center console, put your feet on the console, and drink coffee by yourself.

Or wait until Opal falls asleep, come and hug him, the two sleep in a soft blanket, Raymond’s arms are safe and comfortable.
