The Star Knight - 72. Chapter Seventy Two

When arriving at CT-U7, a violent thunder broke through the atmosphere, as if breaking the sky in half. The orange-golden scorching sun shrouded the clouds and dyed the clouds in the atmosphere into blood red.

There is no outer space station or land apron on this planet, only a huge city shrouded in a hemispherical air filter, with Republic airships patrolling everywhere.

“Inform your identities—”

There was still radio communication over there, and there were dense light bombs flying in the distance. Thunder and lightning joined in one piece, jumping between the roots of the roots and the branches of the roots. The patrol airship had a big explosion, and Times-VI began to call the police.

“What’s going on!” Opal switched manual mode between vibrations.

“What am I going to do!” Callance said loudly.

Opal: “Go control the fort!”

Karens turned the manual turret and fired in one round. There were explosions everywhere. Opal was taken aback. It was a real bullet without any false shots. It was even more powerful than Raymond’s quasi-head, with hundreds of shots.

“Hurry up!” Callance shouted.

Karens cleared a way, the opal spinning disc, Time-VI swept the sky with a round of light flare, and then slanted down one end, like a swimming fish rushing into the deep sea, the red sky is bright and dark. , Every time you fly over the light hole of the clouds, the water droplets on Times-VI evaporate in the sun, and go through the dark cloud area and fall into the pouring rain.

Opal followed the instructions in the mercenary diary to send a communication to the employer, and they were connected almost at the same time, saying: “Is it a mercenary?! Don’t go into the city, it has been occupied by the Republican army–!”

Opal roared: “What’s going on! It’s at war! Why didn’t it make it clear on the commission!”

Karens pressed the firing button and said, “Give the way!”

“Follow us! Follow the civilian spacecraft–!” said loudly over there.

Four civilian spaceships took the lead, skimming the plains with Times-VI, and rushed into a large nodular plant forest. A row of thousands of light energy cannons stood outside the forest. Once the spacecraft passed by, the defensive formation fired at the same time. Dao Guangzhu shot into the sky, and the Republic UAV dragged thunder and raging fire to fall.

The chase teams of large fighter jets evaded and returned.

Times-VI rushed into the forest, knocked down many trees, and got stuck in the canopy of a towering tree with a thud.

Opal: “Where is the employer?! You are cheating!”

“Open the hatch!” said the communication channel: “We are running out of time! Please as soon as possible!”

Karens looked at Opal questioningly, and Opal said: “Bring on the space suit and open the hatch.”

Karens went to get the belt, and the two opened the hatch. A middle-aged man outside said loudly: “Hurry up! Hurry up!”

Opal said: “I want to see your leader, what is going on?”

“Civil war!” The man said loudly, “The situation is on the verge of breaking out. When you received the order, it was already fighting!”

Opal said: “That’s enough…”

When I took a step outside, I smelled the pungent smell of ammonia, and there was colorless acid rain in the sky. Opal opened the protective clothing, and the forest was full of people.

“It’s all quiet!” Someone yelled anxiously, “The mercenaries are here! Send everyone to a safe place immediately! Protect the children! We can leave smoothly!”

Opal has been a mercenary for so long. This is the first time I have encountered a scene of riding a tiger. The situation in front of him seems to be more critical than that of the female star. There are more than 10,000 people in the forest. The middle-aged people who come to the joint use small The flying board carried them away from the tree and landed beside a swamp.

A light curtain filter was erected in the middle of the swamp, and many people around were arguing and talking anxiously.

“Jokes!” the middle-aged man said loudly: “The mercenaries are here!”

“Great!” A young man came over and said, “How many people came?”

Opal: “…”

Jokes: “There are only two people?! This is a C-level commission, shouldn’t it be a B-level mercenary group?”

Opal said: “Yes, I think so too, I apply to cancel the task.”

Jokes: “There is no time! One hundred thousand in a hurry! I’ll add money to you!”

Opal: “It’s not a question of whether money is not money… I want a union to arbitrate!”

Jokes looked at Opal in silence, and Opal said: “You are deceiving! Mercenaries cannot participate in any political disputes…”

“Look, follow me, see.” Jokes pushed the opal to the edge of the swamp, and there was an uneasy crowd in the distance, standing endlessly in the acid rain, waiting in silence.

“Save so many people.” Jokes said: “You can save tens of thousands of lives as long as you nod your head. Everyone will thank you, will bless you, remember you forever, and bless you in all corners of the universe. , For such a good opportunity, I am willing to do it without paying me, but unfortunately I can’t go.”

Opal sighed and looked at the bare branches of the trees in the acid rain. Jokers said: “The civil war here is correct, but the rescue of civilians does not violate your code of interfering in the country’s internal affairs. Just send them to safety. Wherever possible, even if the entrustment is completed. Because when the task was entrusted, the situation was only tense, and the war has not yet started. The union promised that I can issue this strategic transfer entrustment.”

“When you leave here, I will deliver the entrustment certificate together, which will take effect after forty-eight hours. At that time, the union should no longer find me, and can only pay the remuneration and rating points in one lump sum according to the previous promise.”

Opal said: “You are very good at taking advantage of the commission.”

“Because I was also a mercenary.” Jokes said.

Jokes stepped back and gave a mercenary salute to Opal. Karens, who was standing at the bottom of the slope, and Opal at the top of the slope were moved at the same time.

“I’m sorry that I didn’t go back during the War of the Star Wars.” Jokes said: “Because the Sol galaxy wants to break away from the rule of the Republic, we want to be independent, I really can’t go away.”

Karens said: “What about now?”

Jokes said: “We are going to lose. The firepower of the Republic is too strong and we have to move everyone away.”

“You can’t let them go! Jokes!”

Next, a middle-aged man in military uniform ran up and shouted: “Our soldiers’ families are here. Who wants to fight if they are all gone?!”

Jokes shouted at him: “Recognize the situation, Simon!”

The middle-aged man who called Simon said: “No! Let the mercenaries go back! Don’t take this risk!”

Jokes said: “The people at the Eastern Front Battle Base are already on their way, and the people here must go too!”

“Wait!” Opal said, “You still have a group of people?”

Jokes said: “The people from CT-U2 and U3 are here. They were transferred the day before yesterday. A samurai at the East Battle Base promised to cover the retreat of more than 10,000 people there. You need to meet him…”

Simon said: “Jokes! Your order is invalid! Now your post of Secretary-General has been relieved!”

In the long silence, Opal said: “I need to discuss with my deputy head.”

Jokes said: “Give you five minutes, I believe you will accept this commission.”

Jokes turned and jumped down the hill and ran towards the swamp, Simon chased him away.

Karens walked up the top of the slope and looked at the people in the tens of thousands of wilderness. Opal faced him face to face and asked inquisitively: “Are you willing to accept this commission?”

Callens said: “The Sol galaxy has always been unwilling to be controlled by the Republic. The environment here is too bad.”

Opal said: “You are also a veteran of the Republic, and I respect your opinion.”

Karens took off his hat, thought for a while, and said: “Rescuing civilians does not violate the Galaxy Sovereignty Convention, after all, they are all innocent.”

Opal said: “What if you need to fight with your former comrades?”

Karens: “It’s hard to say, it’s really hard to say.”

Opal said: “So forget it…” He glanced at the wilderness.

Karens was silent for two minutes with a cigarette in his mouth, and finally said: “Come on, don’t face it now, you will face the same thing in the future, you have to pass your own level.”

The two ran downhill quickly to find Jokes.

“They came from the Western Front.” Jokes said: “This is our last chance. When the people are gone, the death squad will go to the Red Fog City to attract their attention. This is the battle set by Mr. Bai for us. Plan, he thinks that as long as the central command system is paralyzed, the battle will be variable…”

“You trust him too much, Jokes,” an old woman said.

Jokes said: “We have no choice.”

Jokes is discussing the course of action with a group of rebel forces.

Opal pushed away the people in front of him, Jokes glanced at them and said, “Have you thought about it?”

Opal said: “Get ready to retreat.”

Several people looked at Opal distrustfully, and someone said: “Is this the helper you invited from Liexing?”

“Our morale will become even lower!” Simon said: “You can’t let the civilians leave, otherwise how will this battle be fought?”

Jokes said: “No need to fight! We are over! Simon! If you don’t die in this battle, returning to the Star of Glory will also be taken to a military court on the charge of splitting the country!”

In a deadly silence, Simon stared at Jokes, then resolutely left after a moment.

With sadness in everyone’s eyes, Jokes turned on another light screen and said, “I will hand you the road map now.”

Opal: “What about mecha? Doesn’t it mean mecha?”

Jokes said: “The mecha is in the underground warehouse to the south. I will take you there later…”

“Simon!” someone shouted immediately.

A pale green mecha expelled flames, hovering in the air, and rushed to the south.

Everyone chased them out, and Jokes cursed: “Simon! You bastard!”

Opal stopped behind him, Karens looked up and everyone was silent.

“He went to blow up the communication center of Hongwu City.” A woman said: “May he succeed.”

Jokes hit the table with a punch and roared: “He drove the mecha away!”

“Don’t get excited.” Opal said: “Is there any mecha?”

Several people shook their heads.

Jokes was silent for a while, and said, “I’m sorry, the mecha was driven away by our partner, but as long as you are careful along the way, you will usually not encounter battle. You pass through the dry underground riverbed here, and the exit is two miles away. Point five kilometers away on the edge of the Red Sand Plain.”

“Go west until you reach the crack in the wind.” Jokes marked a Y-shaped valley on the map and said: “The other samurai will take the people from the West Battle Base and wait for you in the valley. The two sides will meet. After turning to the north, there is a refuge base there, there is a spacecraft in the base, here is a list of personnel, these people will fly the spacecraft, and they must be protected.”

Opal nodded, and Jokes said, “I wish you a long life, mercenary.”

“I wish you a long life, too.” Opal said.

Tens of thousands of civilians set off with Opal and Callens. There are too many people. They withdrew into the dry underground riverbed along the remote part of the forest. The dark crypts were filled with strange slime snails, and their shells glowed. With colorful brilliant light. Opal turned on the communicator and asked Karens, “How is your side?”

Another wave of thunder from Thor arrived at the zenith, and the communication rustled, barely able to hear Callance’s voice.

“It’s business as usual.”

Opal walked silently to the forefront with a large sword on his back. After an hour and three minutes, they entered the red sand plain, where there was a full 45 kilometers of road to walk. The plain was full of nitrogen-fixing moss, and a beam of light fell in the clouds. The place formed a mottled scorched black area.

The civilian migration team walked around the beam of light and looked up at the sky from time to time. This is a very dangerous planet. The luminosity of the blue giant is too high and too hot, and the clouds block part of the light. However, as long as there is a little sunlight leaking to the ground, it is enough to burn all living things into coke.

“Captain.” Callens said in the newsletter: “The old, weak, sick and disabled here need rest.”

Opal said: “It’s too dangerous here. It’s an open area. Can you persist?”

Callens said: “No, we only walked halfway, and it is estimated that there will be eight hours to reach the gusty rift. If we don’t rest now, we won’t be able to keep up later.”

The walking time was longer than Opal expected. The wounded soldiers and old people behind slowed down the progress and had to rest in place.

“Be vigilant.” Opal said, “rest on the spot for fifteen minutes.”

The civilians sat down one after another.

“Are you okay?” Opal said: “You, how about you?”

After eight hours of walking, the direct sunlight gradually shifted, the intensity of the ultraviolet light had diminished, and the blue giant Thor threw a warm light diagonally from the horizon.

It’s hot.

Opal was sweating profusely by the setting sun, and a burgundy scar was exposed on the bridge of his nose. He put on sunglasses and inspected the resting people one by one.

Someone gave him water to drink, and the water also had a pungent smell.

“How do you feel.” Callens came over.

“It’s awful, you taste it.” Opal handed him the kettle, and Karens took a sip and slapped his lips with a pained expression.

“It’s like drinking urine.” Callens said.

Opal: “Have you ever drank urine?”

Karens said: “Of course, when recruits, they often drink it during survival camps in the wild.”

Opal was completely speechless and said: “This planet is like a huge urine tank.”

The pungent smell of ammonia is indeed like a place full of urine. The setting sun gradually sinks and the earth plunges into darkness. Occasionally, a tangled thunder crosses the sky and splits the sky in half.

“Don’t light it!” Opal said loudly: “Take away all the lighting!”

Karens counted at the end of the team and said: “Follow the ones in front of you!”

“Someone is left behind.” Callens said in the newsletter: “What should I do?”

Opal said: “How many people?”

Callens said: “Twelve adults and four children are missing. One of them is the pilot of the spacecraft.”

Opal thought for a while, and said: “First bring people into the fissure of the wind.”

The wind ran across the plain, and the temperature was getting colder and colder, approaching the cosmic temperature scale of minus ten degrees. The migrating team had walked for a full fifteen hours, hungry, cold and tired.

“Hold on.” Opal said loudly, “We will be safe immediately.”

The howling wind blew towards his face, like countless knives scraping through bare skin.

Opal: “Karens, come and take them into the valley, I’ll find someone.”

Karens: “How do you find such a dark place?”

As they were speaking, the crowd was panicked, and then they shouted. In the distant night, there were a few beams of light searching along the ground. Opal said: “Don’t mess! It’s just a patrol plane!”

The first Republican patrol plane spotted the tail of the migrating team on the plain and shot them all the way. Then the whole team exploded, and Opal said: “Don’t push! Speed up!”

Karens roared: “Run towards the rift in the wind!”

Opal said: “Karensi! Go ahead!”

The six patrol planes fired artillery fire, chasing the crowd and starting to shoot. Opal rushed out to block the flying light bullets with a sword, and shielded everyone from retreating under the rain of gun bullets.

The gusts rolled in, he rolled on the ground one after another, turned on the electromagnetic traction on the great sword, and pierced the air with one sword. The small figure glowed with a galloping electric dragon in the hand, like a roaring whip, and a whip completely detonated the patrol machine. !

“Opal! Be careful!” Karens said loudly in the communication.

A patrol plane rushed to the ground and fired at the opal with full firepower. There was a loud bang on the cliff of the squally wind in the distance, and the spiral light cannon flew through thousands of meters, and instantly penetrated the patrol plane!

Opal rolled three times in a row, hiding behind the stone, and looking into the distance, one person stood on the stone, and his guns gathered the light of energy.

Opal: “Who is it?!”

Karens: “Me!!!”

Opal yelled: “Don’t shoot–! You will lead the fighter into the canyon–!”

The explosion, the fireball attracted more patrol planes in an instant, and another flying team joined the battle. Opal carried a big sword on his back and ran across the dark plain. As the chasing got closer, the Opal rolled over on the spot, and then slanted out, avoiding the light bomb.

Someone rushed over a hundred meters away, a civilian who was left behind.

“Don’t run to this side–!” Opal roared anxiously.

A woman screamed loudly, hugged the child and ran, and then fell on the ground. The patrol plane spotted the group of people. The light bombs came, explosions sounded, and the flesh was broken and the limbs flew across.

Everyone screamed and ran in fear. Ten patrol planes dropped the Opal and started chasing the running civilians. Opal’s pupils shrank slightly. Another person was caught up by a light bullet, his body burst and his head flew into the sky.

At that moment, the whole body of Opal’s blood seemed to coagulate.

“Ah—” Opal roared like a tiger, and he pushed his hands to the sky, and the tangled thunder struck across the sky, making a loud noise and shining the earth brightly.

The leading fighter suddenly deflected, and the light bomb hit the escort aircraft, and then the third patrol aircraft rushed in, and three unmanned fighter aircraft collided in one place.

The power of faith is back.

Opal stared at his hands blankly, there was another explosion, and he realized that there was no more time left!

Three of the seven patrol planes came to deal with him. Opal strode across the plain, drew out a large sword with his left hand, and turned his right hand toward the sky while running. Two patrol planes crashed!

The civilians rushing to their lives were about to be caught up by the light bullet again. Opal pushed flat with his palms and shouted, “Avoid!”

Several civilians were pushed away vigorously, and five drones turned their heads at the same time and flew towards Opal. Opal made two hands throw a big sword, and the big sword spun into the sky with an electromagnetic glow. Turn it into a silver platter and cut a fighter plane in half!

With the earth-shattering explosion, there were more and more fighters. Thousands of annihilation aircraft rushed from all directions and shot the entire plain. Opal was inevitable. Standing in the middle of the plain, bowed his head, waiting for the gunfire from the sky. .

I’m finally going to die…I hope Karens can successfully complete the task.

At the next moment, the hurricane that rolled out of the fissure of the squally wind seemed to stop briefly.

A majestic force of faith swept across like a tide, and a white light shield spread out around Opal’s body.

“Teacher–!” Opal roared.

Reckett stood at the top of the crack in the violent wind, pushing his left hand forward, the silver bracelet on his wrist disintegrated and turned into thousands of pieces of snowflake-like metal blades, a warplane rushing to heaven and earth like mountains and seas.

Each piece of metal blade passing by the fighter plane divides them into two. The sky is full of brilliant fireballs and explosions, reflected in the dark eyes of Opal, like a prosperous expanse of fireworks blooming one after another.

The power of faith is like a violent wind, like a sea of anger, like a blizzard under the thunder, flooding the entire red sand plain in an instant.
