Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

Move the clock forward a little bit.

Just as Yonebayashi estimated, Aila, the Roman emperor of the ship girl world, who had changed into the ceremonial attire of Nero of the moon world, attracted the attention of the temple guards almost as soon as she entered the temple.

Although nearly a month ago, there was news that a direct descendant of the emperor who had never been seen appeared in the southern empire.

But apart from gender and hair color, this direct descendant who appeared directly in the Guardian Temple was different from the direct descendant described by Erland in terms of appearance and temperament.

According to Elend, who had become an official Temple Guard, the direct descendant who was with the Master Assassin of Cathay looked very simple.

The one who took the initiative to appear in the temple was very flamboyant in her clothing and movements, as if she wished others didn't know that she was of noble birth.

This is mainly because Ella, who doesn’t want her identity to be exposed, tries her best to show her forgotten style, and at the same time, she keeps thinking silently in her heart:

"I am Nero, I am Nero, I am Nero."

The fact that the former emperor, the last emperor recognized by the temple guards as a descendant, either did not come out, or two came out at once, immediately attracted the attention of the elders in the Council of Elders.

However, before the elders gave further instructions, the temple guards did not disturb the descendant of the emperor who suddenly appeared.

The temple guards whose attention was all attracted by Ella did not notice that there was one more person and then one less person among them.

At the same time, the news of the appearance of another descendant of the emperor was also conveyed to Elend, who was about to go to dinner.

"Is there a new descendant of the emperor?" Elend asked calmly.

"Yes, Master Elend." The temple apprentice who noticed a trace of Force restlessness around Elend said quickly.

Seriously speaking, Elend, who succeeded his master as the new temple guard, had not completed the master evaluation of the Council of Elders and was not considered a master.

But Elend, who was already a temple guard, has grown by leaps and bounds after returning to the temple.

In the eyes of most apprentices, it is only a matter of time before the other person becomes a master.

Therefore, many apprentices and even some formal temple guards will call Elend the master.

"Does Elder Wen mean to let me see if there is any relationship with the descendant of the previous emperor?" Elend, who didn't care about this title, remained calm.

"That's right, Master Elland." The apprentice nodded.

"...Okay, you go ahead. I'll be here as soon as I'm ready." Erland said after a moment of silence.

After the apprentice left the room, Elend moved his eyes to the holy sword hanging on the weapon rack.

The holy sword that once belonged to him is currently in Attila's hands, and this holy sword was originally supposed to be held by Auschwitz after completing the master assessment.

Being delivered to Elend in advance was considered acknowledgment by the Council of Elders that Elend would one day complete the master assessment among the temple guards.

Elend stared at the master's holy sword with a calm expression for a while, then took off the holy sword, hung it on his belt and walked out of the room.

The moment Elend picked up the holy sword and walked out of the room, Milin, who had already arrived at the heart of the Mountain of Light, where the real temple was located, also vaguely felt a hint of hostility against him.

Milin took out the durasteel sword from the storage space and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth:

"Interesting, I always feel like this scene seems familiar."

In the inner temple, Milin, whose Force perception was further suppressed, had no way of knowing who the vague hostility he felt came from.

But Milin could also guess who in this temple would be so malicious to him.

But compared to this hostility, Milin is more concerned about the true location of the Guardian Temple.

"Have you hollowed out the entire mountain? Even if there is an unreasonable idealistic power like the Force, it is really an exaggeration."

Even though it was just a stone mountain a few hundred meters high, the act of hollowing out the entire mountain into a doomsday shelter still made Milin slightly strange.

More importantly, judging from some of the equipment in this temple, such as the holographic projector that looks like a potted plant, the metal doors that open and close automatically, and the metal pipes with unknown functions on the walls, the style of the inner temple is completely different from this world. no the same.

"Is it true, as Gray Wind said, that these temple guards actually control an alien base? Or..."

Or are these temple guards originally aliens?

Milin remembered that in the Star Wars world, the earliest Jedi were composed of Force-sensitive people who were sent to a Force planet by several spaceships of more advanced civilizations.

Before the lightsaber was invented, the Force-sensitives who founded the original Jedi Order used durasteel weapons.

It's just that when the Jedi organization began to split between light and darkness, they had already created the original lightsaber with a battery on its back and a wire behind it.

It also has the ability to travel at faster than light speeds.

And the temple guards in this world, nearly a thousand years after the split between light and darkness, are still using primitive durasteel swords.

How should I put it, this is really embarrassing for Force users who do anything other than fighting, especially scientific research, which is like cheating.

After all, after the theoretical foundation is established, research and development is nothing more than massive trial and error. The characteristics of the Force allow people to always find the right path among thousands of mistakes.

Is there any reason why the Force users in this world have to stay in their ways?

Standing in the hall that should be the training dojo, Milin looked at the Guardian Cassandra-shaped projector displayed in the middle of the hall, and subconsciously thought of the Gundam statue in the Guardian Temple on the top of the mountain.

It's obviously a statue that looks like a weapon. It can't be made just to be placed there for people to admire.

So the question now is, what kind of enemy was that metal Gundam weighing hundreds of tons built for?

The sound of the metal door opening and closing paused Milin's thoughts. Hearing the sound of drawing a sword from behind, Milin, who did not look back, said in a subtle tone:

"Oh, it seems I should call you Master Elend now."

Being able to accurately find Milin's location in the temple where the special power of the Force was suppressed, and causing agitation in the Force as soon as he entered, this otherworldly version of Obi-Wan gave Milin quite a surprise.

"Put down your hypocritical face, slave of darkness." Elend's cold voice sounded.

"You know? Master Erland, this sentence makes me a little disappointed." Milin turned around and looked at the long sword held flat with his right hand that didn't know when it would return to its original state, and the Wudang sword finger in his left hand, posing Erland is known as the Tortoise Swordsman Soresu Hand Style.

Then, with a smile on his face, Milin pulled out the durasteel sword that once belonged to the opponent's master, raised it with one hand and said:

"Your master will be even more disappointed."

"Dang"

He was obviously using Soresu's swordsmanship, which was good at defense. He should have relied on defensive counterattacks to gain an advantage in the duel. Instead, Elend attacked first.
