Dame Kovna Helvey, a regular 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.
Come over. 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 it was also their family's
It has been a family treasure passed down for generations, and its durability is stronger than that of 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.
Twenty-four hours ago, she had separated from her team. At that time, everyone had 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 hundreds of millions of years. The collapsed mud and stone
A new torrent was formed, and even caused the structural collapse of the surrounding mountains.
Such power of heaven and earth is really beyond what they can resist now. Many people can only cover their ears, hold their heads and scream, as if they are fighting against the collapse of the mountain in order to bring themselves a little bit of safety.
feel.
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. What else could he do? Actively attack the opponent's camp? The fact that the previous reconnaissance team failed,
Hasn’t the problem already been explained?
What's more, the opponent already has rail guns in hand. If they find everyone approaching like the reconnaissance team did before, how about providing fire coverage in advance? By then, not to mention how many people will be eliminated, everyone can imagine
He got the ugly appearance of running away under direct artillery fire.
However, the teammates accepted it, but it did not mean that the ordinary audiences who had a great time watching the show could accept it. They only saw that the famous astral knights, when facing their enemies, did not even look at each other.
They didn't see any of them, 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 same real 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 Knights' battle flag was completely trampled on the ancient Meiya tree.
It's not that easy to pick it up again in the mud of the sea.
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 bank, 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 were 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 really wanted to say this, but she saw someone next to her had a stunned look on her face. 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 directly
Gave the other party a slap in the face.
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 flag of the younger generation of knights. However, that female knight is too noble and serious.
, in everyone's mind, she plays the role of more like a disciplinary committee member, and they respect her but are not close to her. To sum up, Shameen is more popular among people.
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.
He spoke with a charming smile.
This is a female knight who looks like a beautiful boy. She is usually a carefree tomboy, and she is completely like a buddy when getting along with her comrades. But this time, it is the first time that Shameen has seen her look so feminine.
Smile.
"This slap is an apology and a reminder to you to remember me," she said.
Shameen understood what the other party meant and wanted to stop him, but he couldn't speak anymore. At this time, if he stopped him again, 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 coming from far away, and felt the spiritual breeze of the wild mixed with the salty smell of the sea. In this 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.
If we follow orthodox mystical theory, we should be about to break through to the fourth level, and we should 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.
Did I not notice until it was activated? We didn’t lose unjustly! She sighed heavily in her heart, a little more afraid of the enemy she was about to face. Even so, she still didn’t have the slightest fear or fighting spirit.
On the contrary, it burns more vigorously.
"Stop! You have entered our warning area! Explain your intention!" A voice rang.
Kovna stopped, released her hand on the hilt of the sword, and faced the mountains in the distance. Now, her eyes could already see the barracks hidden in the mountains, the barriers of civil structures, and of course
There is a shadow of a heavily armed figure on top of the barrier.
The smoke that inevitably occurs during steelmaking is floating at the other end of the mountain, which gives this "natural atmosphere" a somewhat industrial ruggedness.
"Where is Lieutenant Colonel Yu Lian!" she said loudly.
The other person didn't speak for a while, then 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.
of!"
When she called her by her first name, she used her own military rank, and when she called the other party, she used the honorific title that was also her military rank. However, the former happened to be one level higher than the latter.
You must know that the empire and the commonwealth are diplomatic countries with formal diplomatic relations after all. 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 little trick by a scheming girl, but after all, this is a duel of honor between psychics, a battle of life and death. This off-the-charts trick is still within everyone's acceptance range.
"Lieutenant Colonel Yulian, 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 filled with psychic energy, and everyone in the enemy camp opposite could probably hear it.
However, she still didn't get an immediate response from the other party. Instead, there was a sound of breaking through the sky in the distance, and she saw three filming drones rushing over like Xiangjiang reporters who had smelled the scent of beetles.
The organizing committee of the God of War Festival is always dedicated. They know which direction to take to increase the 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 powerful enemies that are impossible to defeat 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 away 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 one 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 in your hands on the spot was one of my goals! You should have noticed it, right? Do you feel embarrassed too?
As long as your mood is relaxed, I will have a chance to win! My current state is as good as ever!
Even if you can't win! I must take away one or two parts from you! Let you know that Tiriro people, even women, are all lions and dragons!
At this time, her perception allowed her to once again capture the fluctuations in the air in the distance. It was clearly an object breaking through the sound barrier at an extremely high speed and approaching her.
Yes, the perception of the three-ring "Ranger" can already capture subtle changes in airflow before even 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 who was proficient in various psychic martial arts. His attack was like thunder and lightning, setting fire to a prairie fire. Against Rumil, who was also good at attacking,
Once you seize some opportunities and flaws, you 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 tempered body made the first emergency response and prepared to get out of the way. But at this moment, a dense ion beam also rushed over from the opposite camp, completely blocking it.
All the gaps she had to dodge.
In the smoke and light mist raised by the energy of the beam, the figure of the female knight was instantly unclear. And then, the cannonball roared into it, and with a loud "Boom!"
The high-temperature shock wave of the explosion ignited the lifted rocks, completely turning the glowing blue smoke into a steaming sea of fire.
