Him and their stars

Dame Kovna Helvey, a knight of the Astral Knights, a captain of the Imperial Navy, and a third-level "Ranger" whose extraordinary domain is the "Ranger" of the "cruising" star ring, has recovered from the ten-hour closing recuperation. . She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that both her physical and mental abilities were at their peak.

She silently pulled out her beloved sword "Keeping the Oath", and silently smeared a layer of grease on the blade of star steel and orichalcum alloy - this was actually a shimmer-level treasure, and Their family treasure has been passed down for several generations, and its durability is stronger than memory alloy, but she still maintains the habit of maintaining it using ancient methods.

After doing all this, she adjusted her armor again, and then walked step by step towards the distant hills.

She had been separated from her team twenty-four hours ago. At that time, everyone had already left the original camp, climbed over the mountains, and finally got out of the opponent's artillery range.

Just when everyone was taking a breath, and some even felt that Shameen was a bit unnecessary, new bombardments followed, completely destroying a solid rock wall that had existed for who knows how many millions of years. The collapsed debris formed a new torrent and even led to a total structural collapse of the surrounding mountains.

Such power of heaven and earth is really beyond what they can resist now. Many people could only cover their ears, hold their heads and scream, as if they were fighting against the collapse of the mountain in order to bring themselves a little sense of security.

Then, after experiencing a catastrophe like an eight-magnitude earthquake, they gradually adapted to the still shaking ground, regained a little bit of their sense, and suddenly realized that the location of the barracks had completely turned into a torrent of mud and rocks.

If they didn't move, or even evacuate to the back of the mountain, there would be more than 200 people in the entire alliance team, and the only ones who could survive would probably be a few masters with three rings or above.

No, even the third ring is very likely to overturn, and only Viscount Shameen will survive.

Even those who find it most difficult to accept escape have to admit that Shameen made the most correct decision. Otherwise, what else can be done? Actively attack the opponent's camp? Doesn't the fact that the previous reconnaissance team failed to return has already explained the problem?

What's more, the opponent already has a rail gun in hand. If we find everyone approaching again like we discovered the reconnaissance team before, how about providing fire coverage in advance? At that time, not to mention how many people will be killed by the boom, everyone can imagine how ugly they will be when they flee under the direct bombardment of artillery fire.

However, just because the teammates accepted it, it doesn’t mean that the ordinary audiences who enjoy eating melons and watching movies can accept it. All they saw was that when the famous Astral Knights faced their enemies, they didn't even see each other's faces. They only heard a few threatening cannon shots and then fled.

The real problem is that although Viscount Shameen is a talented young man who has attracted much attention, he is actually a down-to-earth and steady-tempered person. He will never waste the lives of his companions just because of a moment of anger.

But the equally realistic problem is that the Astral Knights have been powerful throughout the world for more than ten centuries, and their honor is much more valuable than imagined. When they retreated, the battle flag of the Knights was completely trampled in the mud of the Gumeia Sea of ​​Trees. It would not be so easy to pick it up again.

Of course, there are ways to get the best of both worlds.

Kovna knew this method, and she knew that Shameen also knew it, and based on her understanding of this talented comrade, he would definitely do it after bringing everyone to a safe place.

"With your current state, can you win him?" Kovna asked bluntly.

Shameen thought seriously for three minutes, then shook his head. Seeing everyone's ugly expressions, he added: "I mean I don't know. Before the battle on the river beach, there should be 60%. But now. , only 40% at most. And this is my most optimistic estimate."

He might as well not have added this last sentence. No, everyone's expressions are even uglier.

"Then don't go." Kovna's expression was stiff, but her tone was very firm: "Rumiel and Michael are both dead. If you are defeated by him again, all the extraordinary people of this generation in the empire will live in his hands. in the shadow.”

"No, our talent reserve is still very gratifying. There are many outstanding colleagues in the Knights. They are all talented, courageous and powerful heroes, but they are not well-known." Viscount Shameen smiled. He comforted him and said: "The Knights have a foundation and inheritance, and we young knights also have comrades who are trustworthy and can rely on us. As long as we don't lose our basic courage, we won't be in his shadow alone!"

Although the words sound nice, to put it bluntly, isn't it just that the more people bully the less people?

Dame Kovna wanted to say this very much, but she saw someone next to her with a stunned expression. For a moment, she didn't even have the energy to laugh at herself. So, she simply stretched out her hand, grabbed Shameen's collar, and slapped him directly.

It was naturally easy for Shameen to hide, but he still allowed the other party to slap him.

"That's why you can't go! No matter how many comrades there are in the Knights, you are still the flag of our generation. And the flag cannot fall down casually!"

To be honest, in terms of ability, merit, qualifications, and status, there should be Countess Giafel who can become the banner of the younger generation of knights. However, the female knight was an overly noble and serious person, and she played more of a role as a disciplinary committee member in everyone's mind. They were in awe of her but not close to her. To put it into perspective, Shameen is more popular.

Everyone thinks that the best combination for the Astral Knights in the next twenty or thirty years is to have Shameen as the leader, Gia Fiel as the deputy leader and chief military judge, and the other two "Four Heavenly Kings" as double bonus sticks. .

At this time, Kovna naturally subconsciously ignored the disciplinary committee member.

"So, Ilmi, leave this kind of troublesome thing to me. As for you, please humiliate yourself again, but live bravely until the day you can take over the flag!" The Dame sighed. The tone showed a charming smile.

This is a female knight who looks like a beautiful boy. She also has a carefree tomboy style on weekdays. She gets along with her comrades exactly like buddies. But this time, it was the first time Shameen saw such a feminine smile on her face.

"This slap is an apology and a reminder to remember me," she said.

Shameen understood what the other party meant and wanted to stop him, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't continue. At this time, if he stopped him, he would be the coward.

Kovna Helvey said goodbye to everyone like this, and single-handedly climbed over the collapsed earthquake scene and directly entered the great plain in front.

She listened to the sound of tsunamis floating in the distance, and felt the spiritual breeze of the wild mixed with the salty smell of the sea. In such an atmosphere, she closed her eyes and began to recuperate and adjust her state.

After ten hours of teasing, she seemed to realize something, and vaguely felt the power and will beyond the boundaries of the star ring.

According to what people on Earth say, she experienced a great change and became enlightened, so she was on the verge of enlightenment.

According to orthodox occult theory, this should be the time to break through to the fourth level, and it is time to start preparing materials for level promotion.

Kovna also felt this. At this time, she didn't know whether she should be grateful for the extraordinary gift or ignore the prank of fate. She just hid the bitter smile on her calm face and continued to move forward with steady steps. He entered the opponent's warning area without squinting.

She is a "Ranger" and has extremely strong perception and exploration abilities. Naturally, she noticed the activation of some psychic warning arrays.

Do I have to turn it on to find out? We did not lose unjustly! She sighed heavily in her heart, becoming more fearful of the enemy she was about to face. Even so, she still didn't have the slightest fear, and her fighting spirit burned even stronger.

"Stop! You have entered our guarded area! Explain your purpose!" A voice rang.

Kovna stopped, released her hand from the hilt of the sword, and faced the mountains in the distance. Now, her eyesight could already see the barracks hidden in the mountains, the barriers of civil structures, and of course the heavily armed figures on top of the barriers.

The smoke that is bound to appear during steelmaking is floating on the other side of the mountain, giving this "natural atmosphere" planet a somewhat industrial ruggedness.

"Where is Lieutenant Colonel Yu Lian!" she said loudly.

The other person didn't speak for a while, so she shouted three times in a row, and then said in a clear voice: I am a full knight of the Astral Knights, Captain Kovna Helvey. Today, I am here to challenge you with honor! "

When she calls someone by their first name, she uses her own military rank, and when she addresses the other person, she uses the honorific title that is also her military rank. It's just that the former happens to be one level higher than the latter.

You must know that the empire and the commonwealth are now diplomatic countries with formal diplomatic relations. According to foreign affairs etiquette, Yu Lian has to salute this knight lady first on formal occasions.

It's hard to tell whether this is a scheming girl's little trick, but after all, this is a duel of honor between psychics, a battle of life and death. This off-board trick is still within everyone's acceptance range.

"Lieutenant Colonel Yu Lian, Colonel Kovna Helvey, a regular knight of the Astral Knights, propose to you a duel of honor!" She raised her voice and shouted again.

This time the roar was laced with psychic energy, and everyone in the enemy camp opposite could probably hear it.

However, she still didn't get a response from the other party immediately. Instead, there was a sound of breaking through the sky in the distance, and three filming drones were seen rushing over like Xiangjiang reporters who had smelled the scent of beetles.

The Ares Festival Organizing Committee is always dedicated. They know which direction to take to improve ratings.

However, there was still no movement on the other side.

Are you in a dilemma too? Kovna thought to herself.

Now, the whole universe has seen that among the Astral Knights, there are not just those cruel people like Rumil who bully the weak. There are still people who will challenge impossible enemies for the sake of honor!

And I am just a third ring. Even if I die on the spot, no one will be surprised. They will only lament my courage!

Even if I can wash off just a little of the stains on the Knights' battle flag, I will have deserved my death!

"What's more, if I win, without the cumbersome ring-raising ceremony and rare materials, I might be able to break through in the battle, right?" She knew that this possibility was slim, but since she is a qualified astral knight , you should have such an optimistic spirit, otherwise you will not even have a chance of winning.

However, even when the drone was hovering at an altitude of more than 100 meters and found the perfect shooting angle, there was still no big reaction from the other side.

The female knight felt the possibility of victory for the first time, and raised her voice again: "The grudge between you and the Astral Knights must be ended! I swear to the spirit of the universe on the honor of my family! This is the first time An honorary duel between the two of us only!"

"It's a fight! It's also a matter of life and death!"

I came here with the intention of putting my life on the altar! Dying on the spot in your hands is one of my goals! You should have noticed it too, right? Do you also feel embarrassed?

As long as your mentality is relaxed, I will have a chance to win! Now I am in better shape than ever before!

Even if you can’t win! Be sure to take away a part or two from you too! Let you know that Tiriro people, even women, are all lions and dragons!

At this time, her perception allowed her to capture the fluctuations in the air in the distance again. It was clear that an object broke through the sound barrier at an extremely high speed and approached her.

Yes, the perception of the three-ring "Ranger" can already capture subtle changes in airflow before hearing the sound, thereby determining the opponent's direction of action.

Here it comes!

She showed her sword and put on a defensive stance.

She was also one of the onlookers watching the battle between Yu Lian and Rumil. She could also see that the opponent was a master proficient in various psychic martial arts. His attack was like lightning and lightning, setting fire to a prairie fire. Against Rumil, who is also good at attacking, once he seizes some opportunities and flaws, he can form an irreversible advantage.

This should be the reason why Rumil was instantly killed by him, right?

Then, I have to stay calm, defend and counterattack, grit my teeth and wait for the opportunity. I... wait, that thing doesn't look like a humanoid at all!

Miss Kovna's extraordinary dynamic vision allowed her to clearly capture the supersonic object, which was clearly a cone-shaped object.

That's a cannonball!

Ah, this...

Although she was made to lose her ability to think, her body, which had been tempered for a long time, made an emergency response first and was ready to get out of the way. But at this moment, dense ion beams also rushed over from the opposite camp, completely sealing all her dodge gaps.

In the smoke and light mist raised by the beam energy, the figure of the female knight was instantly invisible. Immediately afterwards, the cannonball roared and crashed into it. With a loud "Boom!", the high-temperature shock wave of the explosion ignited the lifted rocks, completely turning the blue smoke into a Steaming sea of ​​fire.

Xiaomei has a fever again. The recent hot and cold weather with strong winds is too unfriendly to babies. .

This chapter was written while he was taking a nap, and now he has to watch Column Under the Sea with him. To be honest, it looks pretty good.
