Him and their stars

However, just as Sir Yeager Soback was wondering when he could turn his generation's lifetime title into a hereditary title, he and his comrades had already passed the main road in the city and could even see The central tower building of the city in the distance - this is also the tallest building in this industrial town on a remote planet.

At this time, a sudden change occurred.

Countless thunder and lightning fell from the sky, hitting the city and directly forming various grotesque and terrifying monsters.

Although most of these young knights are children of famous families, they are unlikely to be familiar with mystical knowledge, let alone experience in conquering virtual realms. Faced with this scene, they were naturally caught off guard.

As for Colonel Soback, who was from the lowest background and had never seen this kind of world, of course he could only look confused.

He didn't even react until a tentacle monster in the form of a Yaxu beast started to show its teeth and claws next to him.

Of course, this monster transformed from a fragment of the virtual realm was quickly broken down into electric charges by Baron Haiyeluo next to him.

"Sure enough, it should be the Yaxu beast... It's just like what the book said, it's no big deal." Baron Haiyeluo didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He paused for a second and then slashed with the power battle ax wrapped in aura. He struck at the Yaxu beast next to him that looked like a three-headed lizard, and blasted this anti-human monster into pieces again with one blow.

The Yaxu Beast is indeed ferocious, and its various grotesque shapes are indeed quite powerful. If it really comes to an ordinary town, the drama it will stage will probably be the Sphinx version of "The Mist". But in front of the astral knight wearing a heraldry machine, he is really not a very dangerous enemy.

Baron Hayero's actions made the knights quickly realize this. As a result, these elite psychic tactics soon realized that the rigorous training they had received in the past seemed to include operational guidelines for encountering similar situations.

They turned the heraldic machine's public address equipment to its maximum limit, sounded the alarm, loudly informed all citizens to seek refuge, and ordered the city's police and community workers to open isolation barriers. At the same time, the battle formation was reorganized, and the four-man team was still a standard combat unit. They continued to advance along the current main road, clearing out all the monsters they sensed, and rescuing the people.

The actions of the Astral Knights were indeed very smooth. The number of various Yaxu beasts and Void Realm ghosts they destroyed along the way soon exceeded a thousand. Not only did their own side not suffer any casualties, the damage to the city was also minimized.

Although they achieved brilliant results, they still did not understand the situation.

However, the knights were still in a good mood when they saw many citizens climbing to the community walls and windows of high-rise buildings, cheering loudly.

To put it bluntly, isn’t the reason why I became an Astral Knight just for today’s scene?

More importantly, after such a battle, everyone has achieved real military exploits. This is an advantage that no matter how large-scale an exercise is, there will be no benefit.

Of course, compared to ordinary knights, the slightly older Baron Haiyeluo thought more, and said to his partner: "Yeager, I have to thank you for this. If you had made a decision later, We will not enter the city so quickly, nor will we go into battle as soon as the change occurs. The damage caused by these virtual monsters to ordinary people is very low, but if it happens for a few minutes at night, the consequences will be disastrous."

Having said this, he pondered for a moment and said, half jokingly and half seriously: "You haven't thought of this for a long time, right?"

"Sir, who do you think I am? I'm just a second-level person!" Soback said helplessly.

What's more, in this situation, even the big guys on the cloud can't be accurate to the minute, right?

"Indeed. So this is luck." Baron Haiyeluo's laughter was more sincere and friendly: "Isn't this more powerful? Techniques can be learned, martial arts can be tempered, and the spiritual star ring can also increase. , but things like luck are gifts from the universe! How can we mortals understand it? Compared with a comrade with outstanding ability, a comrade with excellent luck may be able to let me live a little longer Time? I want to live until the day I retire."

Soback was speechless. He didn't even know what expression he should put on.

"What's our next move?" the baron asked again. Although he is theoretically the commander of this group of knights, he has always respected Sobek to the ultimate extent.

"Still, we have to go to the central tower..." Soback said subconsciously. Of course, he didn't know what to do, so he had no choice but to instinctively act on the original plan. As soon as the words came out, he felt something was wrong, and quickly added: "The surrounding situation is still unclear. If we take over the central tower earlier, we can activate the city's early warning radar, and maybe we can provide some firepower to other places. support."

The Baron thought for a while and felt that there seemed to be no problem, but he couldn't help but ask: "There are many important industrial and mining facilities around this city, and there are indeed some heavy artillery that can be used in open spaces. However, they have not been used for a long time. ”

"Let's take a look first." Soback said helplessly: "Let's take a look first and then talk."

The remaining knights continued to clear out the monsters, while Soback and Ye Hailuo led five combat groups with a total of twenty knights to the city's central control tower. This is a skyscraper over 200 meters tall. In addition to transmitting and receiving various types of antennas, the antenna on the top of the tower can also support a shield covering the entire city - of course, this function has not been used for 20 to 30 years. .

We all know that the Extreme Sector is the Empire's frontline against the Galactic Predators. In the past, when facing the invasion of these cosmic nomads, this central tower was still the planetary defense headquarters for most of Sarna. Of course, these military functions were also suspended for a long time. Now, the entire building has been converted to civilian use, including the Crystal City Government, the city's fire and traffic command center, and television stations.

Like most city plans, the front of the central building is a square, which is the center of the city. In the center of the square, there is also a nearly ten-meter-high statue of Emperor Elisir riding a horse and raising a whip, which is regarded as a landmark of the city.

...Of course, the number of statues of Emperor Elithel in the entire empire may be nine figures, and they are not even landmarks.

However, at this moment, the mighty and domineering statue of the Great Emperor had turned into ruins. The dragon horse that the emperor was riding had been broken into several pieces. The faucet fell into the fountain, staring wetly, leaving a sad expression. The dragon's body has been scattered everywhere, and it can no longer be identified. Only half of the buttocks are left on the pedestal.

As for the body of the Emperor on the dragon's back, I couldn't find it. After a closer look, I finally saw the statue of the Emperor with its upper body among the flowers in the flower garden nearby. Only its lower body was exposed, pointing straight to the sky, and it was still broken.

No, one of the emperor's legs is still hanging on the shelf of a decorative street lamp nearby.

The knights felt very dizzy. They felt that it would be a bit disrespectful to allow the emperor's upper body to be stuck in the flowers. However, is it even more disrespectful to touch the emperor's broken body with such rough hands and feet?

In addition, what troubles them is of course not just the broken statue of the Great Emperor, but also the culprit that caused all this.

At this time, one head had nine grotesque heads and nine steel whip-like tails. Its body looked a bit like a feline beast, but it could walk upright. It was nearly ten meters tall when it stood up. If you count those few The tail is at least twenty meters long.

Needless to say, this is still a guy who can make people shudder just by looking at his appearance. The knights present had indeed never seen a monster like this before, not even Baron Ye Hailuo, who had systematically read the "Virtual Realm Monster Manual".

However, even the most novice knight can feel the tsunami-like oppression from the giant beast.

They could feel that this was not an enemy that could be easily dealt with just by the pressure that made everyone barely able to stand.

"Ah, by the way, the Yaxu beast is a convergence effect!" Ye Hailuo suddenly understood something: "Everyone, hurry up..."

Colonel Soback also gave the order decisively: "The first to third groups are ready to respond to the enemy, and the fourth and fifth groups are ready to respond. Expand according to the A formation for dealing with legion-level monsters!"

He is a member of the fifth group, so there is no need to resist. He felt that no matter how powerful the monster was, he could still fly a kite if he stayed far away.

I want everyone to run away quickly! Ye Hailuo couldn't help but look at his comrades helplessly. Just as he was about to say something, the monster's nine heads simultaneously let out a deafening roar. The sounds produced by each head are different, but when combined together, in addition to being more ferocious, it also has a more eerie rhythm that makes people tremble.

Every knight present felt as if the howling sound was resounding deep in his soul. His brain suddenly felt as if he had been stabbed by a needle, and he felt dizzy and severe pain instantly.

Baron Ye Hailuo took a deep breath, unfolded a halo of will, and then felt better.

However, he only has three rings, and the strength and coverage area of ​​his halo ability are limited, and it only affects a limited number of comrades around him.

Just when he already felt that this battle was going to be dangerous, and was thinking about how to get as many of his comrades to evacuate as possible, a roar like a dragon's roar came from the sky. It was not very fierce, but it seemed high-pitched and majestic. In an instant, Then he suppressed the monster's mental roar. Even though the knights were inside the heraldry machine, they were all shaken to the core, but the pain that made them almost faint immediately dissipated.

Soback subconsciously looked up in the direction from which the dragon roar came, only to see a white light piercing down like a divine sword descending from the sky, piercing the giant beast on the spot.

The nine-headed beast froze on the spot, and even the roars on the nine ferocious heads were frozen on its face. Immediately afterwards, there was only a "pop" sound, and the giant beast suddenly scattered into a pile of energy factors. It made a buzzing sound like an out-of-control electric charge, and then completely fell apart.

The giant beast that made twenty fully armed astral knights feel like they were facing a formidable enemy was actually torn into pieces in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a figure descending from the sky like a god, landing leisurely without any trace of fireworks. It was a man who looked to be no more than forty years old, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a long body and a handsome appearance, like an immortal, but he was Tantai Jing.

Several knights quickly recognized each other's identity and fell into silence for a while.

The disciples of these famous families all know that this is Lan Jiufeng's eldest disciple and the current head of the Spiritual Research Society.

Now, Lan Jiufeng, who has given the empire's extraordinary beings nightmares for nearly half a century, is already over 90 years old, and Mei Ruoxi is over 80 years old, and will retire from the stage of history in a dozen years at most. And when that time comes, the biggest enemy that the grown-up Star Realm Knights will face is none other than the "Seven Sons of the Spirit Research Society" headed by Tantai Jing.

To put it bluntly, any Astral Knight who is born into a well-known family will grow up in an education where the "Seven Sons of Lingyan" are regarded as the villains.

Of course, since the last God of War Festival, someone has successfully replaced the "Seven Spiritual Research Sons" in the hearts of the young knights, but didn't that person also become a member of the Spiritual Research Society?

In short, Lan Jiufeng's disciples and grandsons are the "old enemies" of the Astral Knights. In terms of hatred, they may not be as good as the "sworn enemies" in the alliance, but in terms of attention, they may be even higher.

Now, the villain of the old enemy group has appeared, but judging from the first appearance...it seems to be an ally, right?

What is impermanence? That's it.

"I am Tantai Jing, a member of the Community Military Observation Group." Tantai Jing was very calm: "Excuse me, who of you is the leader."

The knights looked at Ye Hailuo and then at Soback. Ye Hailuo and Soback were looking at each other. After looking at each other for nearly ten seconds, the former finally sighed silently and said: "I am a full knight of the Astral Knights, Colonel of the Imperial Military Police, Udel Ye Hailuo Baron. Thank you for your support, Master Tantai."

He took the lead in giving a military salute, and the other knights could only follow after hesitating for a moment.

There is nothing we can do about it. Although Tantai Jing is a "commoner" without a title, he is also a saint of the sixth ring. In the world of extraordinary beings, this is a more prominent status symbol than any title, title, or title.

Even the emperors of the previous empires would never take advantage of their ministers who were more senior than themselves, and always gave them enough face.

These disciples from famous families are all decent people. No matter whether they are feeling mmp in their hearts or not, they will never lose their manners on the surface.

Tantai Jing also bowed his head slightly and returned a salute to the knights. He ignored the entanglements of these young elites of the empire and went straight to the point: "This thing is a monster formed by the aggregation of Yaxu beasts. It can only penetrate into the virtual realm of the main world." It will only occur with low probability when the energy begins to weaken. To put it bluntly, it is an emergency response. I have just felt that the space cracks leading to the virtual realm have been repaired, which constitutes the possibility of virtual realm aggregation. The theoretical upper limit of this kind of polymerized monster will reach six rings. If there are dozens of them, even I will find it difficult."

Dozens? Even if a few of them appear, the city cannot be saved. It's easy to say that you have six rings, but among our eighty knights, the highest one is Baron Ye Hailuo's three rings!

Soback felt dizzy after hearing this, and once again had the urge to run away on the spot.

...No, wait, that monster just now was a six-ringed one? But was defeated by Tantai Jing? So how strong is he? It shouldn't be a big problem for one person to kill all of us, right?

Soback felt that his logic was very smooth. Looking at the Earthlings opposite him, his heart suddenly jumped up.

In fact, Tantai Jing said that the upper limit was six rings, but he did not say that the guy he just knocked out in an instant was six rings. Naturally, he didn't know Soback's inner struggle, so he directly took out a handful of yellow pieces of paper as big as cards: "Is there any way to spread them all over the city in the shortest possible time?"
