There was an unspeakable silence on the other side of the space door. After a while, Lan Jiufeng's voice came over faintly: "I'm calling you now..."
Duke Sartolan seemed to feel that he had the upper hand for the first time, and laughed heartily: "Brother Lan, do you still remember fifty years ago? At that time, I was already the number one in the Astral Knights.
I am a knight. At that time, I was high-spirited and free-spirited. I felt that although the universe was big, I couldn’t go anywhere. How could I tolerate an unknown earthly bumpkin who wantonly provoked the knights?
Where’s the honor?”
"Well, we were all young and stupid at that time. Besides, the person I provoked was not you, but your teacher, the previous grand leader, Grand Duke 'Flameheart' Mcadore."
"No, no, no, I am young and stupid now. But, I can never forget that Teacher McDowell was not deceived. If I were not an arrogant fool who became a burden, you at that time would have been
Man, Mr. Lan, will you be the teacher's opponent at that time?"
"I don't know. But judging from my cultivation at that time, the chance of winning is not high." Lan Jiufeng's attitude is very upright and patient. He has been singing to Lao Sa for a month across the virtual realm, and now
He finally got a response, which made him somewhat touched.
"However, Teacher McCadot died, along with two knight captains and three senior knights... Only I, the culprit who was provoked by you and led the entire team into a trap, survived.
." Sadulan sighed: "What an unfair thing!"
"I think, Brother Sadulan, at that time, except for Grand Duke Mai, all of you were actually angered by me. Grand Duke Mai also fell into my formation to save you." Lan Jiufeng
He consoled solemnly: "The Galactic Empire at that time had not fought a hard battle for many years. You were arrogant and your eyes were too high. Except for the opposite alliance, the noble-born Star Knights simply could not show what they should be like as warriors.
Focus and be vigilant. Grand Duke Mai did not die at my hands, but because of the empire’s arrogance!”
"...Hahahaha, this makes sense. His Majesty also commented on it after this battle."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Lan Jiufeng conveyed his emotion in a formal manner, and then said: "Then, after the War of Independence, you really grew up."
Duke Sadolan smiled: "I should also thank you for co-authoring it, right?"
"Brother Sadulan is a man with clear grudges. Brother Yu still has great confidence in your character."
"Yes, I am full of respect for you even now." Duke Sadolan showed a fascinated expression: "At that time, you formed an army, formed an array, and fought against all of us with your majestic posture...
Even now, this is still my daily nightmare. So, I drink with such memories every day."
Lan Jiufeng couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Sadulan actually has the style of the ancient wise king. After half a century of practice, you are no longer Wuxia Amen. Brother Yu is very pleased!"
Of course Duke Sartolan could hear that the other party was taking advantage of him, but at this time, how could he really be confused by such words, so he just said happily: "Fifty years have passed...Brother Lan,
I never believe that today, you will not have any new ideas waiting for me. How could I be fooled?"
"... Indeed, how could a qualified warrior fall for the same trick?"
Duke Sadolan felt that these words were extremely illogical even if he thought about it on his knees, so he couldn't help but ask: "This is an idiot setting in which idiot comic?"
"...Well, it's actually the latest title song of Missile Girls 808 Battalion."
The grand leader coughed vigorously a few times, and then said: "Anyway, Brother Lan, no matter how violent the wind and rain you are, I will still stand like a mountain. You want me to come over? But I won't come over."
"...Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. Maybe I just discovered the beginning of the Dao in the virtual world. Can you please come and review the details with me? Although we have long-standing grievances, we should be regarded as Taoist friends.
?" Lan Jiufeng sighed.
"Then you come over and discuss it with me! Brother, there is wine and meat here, materials and props, and you can even find helpers. What's the matter? Don't you dare?"
"You old man is so unreasonable. Do you think I don't dare to sing anymore?"
"Sing! If you dare to sing, I will record it. I will also dare to hand it over to the Royal Sky Channel and let them play it all over the universe."
"I dare to admit it if you dare to broadcast it! So that Taoist friends know that I have recently taken a serious professional singing class. I have studied with a group of young girls studying bel canto for half a year, and now I am confident to participate in the audition."
"I have never seen such a shameless old pervert!"
"I rely on the charm of a mature man, which is different from some noble man who relies on his power and position to indulge in high-class dances in heaven."
As a result, the grand leader of the Astral Knights and the Zhenguo Master of the Blue Star Community, the two demigods who are most likely to reach the side of truth in this century, are like two naughty children in kindergarten, quarreling and insulting each other.
Foamed up.
In the end, the argument came to an end with repetitions such as "Come over here", "Why don't you come over", "I'll come over if you come over first", "You're a coward if you don't come over".
Lan Jiufeng's helpless sigh finally came from behind the space door: "Brother Sadulan, let's calm down and go back to where we started. You see, the problem now is that I have been singing to invite you, you
But he didn’t want to respond.”
"Yes, because my heart is firm and immovable like a mountain."
"The mountains are indeed there. But brother, the mountains are not unshakable. Whether it is our earth or the empire, there are many examples of mortals shaking the mountains with their own power!"
Duke Sadolan sighed: "...Brother Lan can always accompany me to entertain me, but I can't reciprocate. Could it be that this is how you shake mountains?"
"Brother Sa, the mountain has actually moved."
After leaving these words, the space channel was cut off, and Lan Jiufeng's voice and breath disappeared.
Sadulan sat there with his eyes closed for a few minutes, then suddenly opened his eyes and let out a deep breath.
Lan Jiufeng is the so-called first person under the Nine Rings, the most powerful demigod in history, the sword master who killed half of the Galaxy Empire. How can his provocation be just a few ridiculous songs?
Why is the minor tune so superficial? To others, it may sound like an ordinary singing voice with even a hint of aura, but when it reaches the ears of Duke Sadolan, in fact, every note can be called mental pollution, torturing him all the time.
own calmness and reason.
But, what's the matter? I, Sadulan, survived.
More importantly, do you think I can take a beating on my own and cannot fight back?
The head of the group raised the corners of his mouth in contentment, and with his telekinesis, he controlled a glass of red wine to fall into his hands.
"What's the matter?" asked the Duke.
"After the pheromones have been collected, resonance can be carried out, but whether it can be successful depends on the operator." A voice came from behind the broadcast into the room.
Duke Sadolan nodded. Immediately afterwards, two disembodied figures appeared in his sight, and soon the process of turning reality into reality was completed. One looked like he was in his early thirties, with a flaming face.
A woman with long hair and gorgeous appearance. Another man with gray hair and gray eyes, a solemn expression and a majestic demeanor.
They are the Cardinal Grand Inquisitor of the Galactic Empire and the most powerful person in the Grand Inquisition, the 58-year-old Duchess of Themint, Ladye Elroyes.
and the 64-year-old Duke of Macedo Vero Andus, deputy commander of the Astral Knights and director of the Imperial Panzergrenadiers.
They are all eighth-level psychics. Far from weakening their bodies, they are at the peak of their psychic abilities, physical ability, strength, technology and experience.
Three eight-ring psykers have gathered in the Unity Fortress in the New World, but no one knows this. Of course, only the Galactic Empire can use high-level psykers in such a generous and even squandering way.
of power.
"Every harassment from Lan Jiufeng will shake my will. Sooner or later, I will lose control and enter his home court to fight to the death with him. If that happens, my chance of winning is less than 30%." Sadulan
said the Duke.
He thought for a while and then said: "No, they should be in the virtual realm. That world is full of dangers, but it is easier for psychics to interfere in that world than in the real physical universe. If I attack rashly,
He will definitely be included in the home court that he has prepared long ago, and he will definitely escape death."
"The young knights in the regiment all think that you and Lan Jiufeng are close friends." Duke Andus said solemnly.
"That's just propaganda. The courage of young people can come and go quickly. It needs to be taken good care of." Duke Sartolan laughed, looking like he was not ashamed but proud.
"If there are young people with that kind of emotional stability, they must be young people worthy of high hopes, right?" Duchess Heloyes smiled.
"Grand Judge, you should have come to the Knights to be the chief instructor." Grand Commander Sadolan said with a smile.
"I will take it as a compliment from you."
The grand leader continued: "However, every provocation by Lan Jiufeng will leave his traces in my quiet room. He thinks that his methods are secretive, but I have been sitting here for fifty years.
How can he gain nothing by getting himself into such a disgusting situation? Now, the information he left behind is enough. As long as the space door opens again or when it closes, it is not up to him. As for how many days he can pass through
As an individual, it’s not him who has the final say.”
The Cardinal Judge and the Vice-President both understood what Duke Sadolan meant, but they were also very surprised.
Deputy Captain Andus pondered for a moment: "Captain, you once said that Lan Jiu Peak is a chasm that you must transcend."
"Yes, if I cannot defeat him with my own strength, I will never be able to touch the realm on the side of truth."
"So……"
"Ah hahahaha, if you can't touch the realm of the Nine Rings, you can't touch it. Since ancient times, the psykers who have reached our realm are rare. But if you want to take another step forward, it will be even more difficult.
"There are so many demigods who have fallen outside the door of truth, and I am not the first, so what is there to be sad about?" Duke Sadolan said loudly. He had the same look on his face as the aging old man, but he also had a look on his face.
There is an extra touch of color that is as vivid as a young person.
Deputy Captain Andus looked at the leader in surprise, and for the first time he saw a natural sense of relaxation in the other person's body.
"However, I am indeed the leader of the Astral Knights, the marshal of the empire, and the loyal eagle dog of His Majesty the Emperor!" Duke Sartolan looked at his two colleagues: "Your Majesty's will, have you received it yet?"
The two nodded.
"If you want to do it, you must do it absolutely. The war 50 years ago was a mistake, both in the beginning and in the end. Our generation is obliged to correct this mistake." Duke Sadolan said solemnly.
Said: "Then, we cannot let the people on earth give birth to their gods, and we must keep Lan Jiufeng in the virtual realm. Even if we don't talk about martial arts, even if we bully the few with more, even if we lose the ability to climb
The opportunity for truth, I must do the same. Now, it only depends on what you want."
Then, after a brief silence, the Cardinal Judge smiled and said: "Old Commander, if you had had this realization twenty years ago, you might have touched the edge of the truth."
"Don't make sarcastic remarks." The Grand Leader said angrily: "If you had said less sarcastic words, I would have invited you from the Tribunal long ago and given you the position of captain."
Cardinal Eloise smiled disapprovingly and said: "I came here not because of your request, but because of official business. I am the judge, and the ninth ring is an unknown territory that has not yet been explored by the occult."
Deputy Commander Andusi said calmly: "I am just a warrior. It is just a coincidence that I have reached this point. It requires self-knowledge. I have never had the ambition to set foot on the truth."
Duke Sadolan showed a pleased smile: "Everyone performs his duties and his position. This is the reason why the empire thrives. I am very lucky to have comrades like you. Then, let's wait patiently. Wait for the child
We are waiting for the actions of our seniors and the actions of our enemies..."
As soon as he said this, he received a communication from within the fortress, but it was from the imperial garrison commander of the Unity Fortress, Lieutenant General Minontai.
After a brief greeting and pleasantries, the general, who had always behaved like a trade commissioner, asked in a dignified and calm manner: "Before taking office, I received instructions from the Generalissimo's Office, requesting that at 12 o'clock today
Before proceeding, I would like to ask for your opinion. It is up to you to decide whether to turn on Telegram No. 7."
"Approved to open! The password is 'Scarlet King'."
"I understand."
Lieutenant General Minontai had already guessed something and ended the communication very decisively. He opened the command terminal and retrieved the letter that had been sent to the fortress mailbox through the gravitational wave beacon two months ago.
lockout order.
The general glanced at all the imperial generals in the headquarters, entered the imperial language "Scarlet Lord", and opened the telegraph order.
The instructions in the telegram were very simple, with only one line: "Execute Order 66."
However, this simple approval made Lieutenant General Minontai's breathing quicken.
"It's finally begun!" He sighed silently, feeling a little embarrassed and sad for no reason. This is understandable. As a social cow, Lieutenant General Minontai actually gets along very well with the opposite side of the earth.
However, as an expert in fortress defense and attack, he quickly restrained his personal emotions and began to order in an orderly manner: "Notify all our units in the Dawn Star Territory of the telegram, and be sure to maintain a three-way distance from the Dawn Angel."
Information is flowing smoothly every day. Everyone, please start taking action according to the original plan."
More than twenty powerful division and brigade-level officers of the Marine Corps and Panzer Grenadier, as well as eight Astral Knights, stood up at the same time, performed a military salute, and left quickly with solemn steps.
And this chilling atmosphere, accompanied by gravitational wave communications, spread to all parts of the New World.
