Count Seliora, the first knight commander of the Astral Knights of the Galactic Empire, the flag officer of the knights, and the deputy commander of the knights as the world directly calls him, is fifty-eight years old this year. Ordinary people can already start to think about it at this age.
He is retired, but for a psychic, his physical functions are still at their peak.
This is a strong man nearly two meters tall with a burly build, bronze skin, strong short flaxen hair, and a very masculine medium-length beard. A pair of blue eyes look particularly cold, plus he is unsmiling and intimidating.
With a solemn aura, he looked like a model knight who had stepped out of a legendary storybook.
He was wearing the normal uniform of an imperial admiral. He did not wear any medals or ribbons, nor did he have a gorgeous tasseled cloak with lace and heraldic patterns. Of course, the simple attire did not reflect his strong aura. This famous knight
Your Majesty, just standing there seems to be a huge mountain standing in the sky and earth.
Of course, this feeling would be even more obvious if one could ignore the naughty purple ship behind him.
At this time, Count Seriola had already walked down the hanging ladder with steady steps, and exchanged a few words with General Kebede and a group of officers who came to greet him. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped.
He turned his head and frowned slightly. At this moment, his gaze was like an arrow, passing through the crowd surrounding him and passing through the fortifications built by the empire. Then, the observer located several kilometers away
The regiment camp came into view.
At the same moment, Yu Lian and Tantai Jing just walked out of the camp gate. They were three or four kilometers apart and started looking at each other in the air.
This distance has even exceeded the effective range of most individual weapons, but for these psykers, it really does not affect the line of sight. Yu Lian quickly confirmed the identity of the other party. He could even see clearly
, His Excellency the Knight Commander’s meticulously combed short hair and beard are actually waxed.
The appearance can be simple, but it must be neat, so that it can represent the model of knighthood. Count Seliora must think so.
Speaking of which, the reason why Yu Lian was able to come to the imperial capital as a resident military attache this time was largely due to the invitation of the first knight commander.
Count Seliola had a very high opinion of Yu Lian's "Four Elephant Warfare" and sincerely invited the latter to come to the imperial capital for military exchanges. He has always been such a person who can be called a model of human form, serious and awe-inspiring,
But he is not shy about expressing praise to others frankly.
However, as soon as the formal invitation letter was sent out, he received a battle report from the Far Shore Nebula, and the news that his proud disciple, Count Odegaard, had died in battle. And the culprit was the distinguished guest he personally invited.
The more honest a knight is, the less he knows how to deal with this situation, right?
As a result, Yu Lianming has been in the empire for more than half a year, but the count has never appeared once. He was not even present at several officially arranged military exchanges and seminars.
Yu Lian said that he was a tolerant person who could understand the other party's struggles and was willing to forgive the other party's rudeness, so he saluted the other party with a military salute from a distance.
Of course, one size fits the bill. Although he has forgiven the other party, he is still unhappy now!
You are clearly hiding here to dig for treasures. You big guys don't stay in the Lion's Den Fortress or follow the Titan's prow to hit the fortress, but you are always squeezing into such a remote small planet. What do you think?
?The dignified deputy leader of the Knights and one of the top commanders of the red side, is he so idle?
Thinking of this, Yu Lian bowed, then raised his eyebrows pretending to be frivolous, letting his eyes scan the purple ship behind him.
"Good taste." Yu Lian said silently.
After all, the earl was a saint with seven rings, so of course he could read the mouth movements, and he was slightly startled.
"The anger is exposed!" Yu Lian said silently again.
There did seem to be a trace of embarrassment flashing through Count Seliora's eyes, but he deliberately raised his chest and even reached out to pat the hull behind him, as if Yu Lian's "praise" was very useful.
The ship behind him is a battleship called "Star Walker" class. It is basically the size of a destroyer. It is a special ship directly affiliated with the Astral Knights. It does not have heavy firepower, only some armed merchant ship-level defensive weapons.
However, the ship's protection and speed are the best of this type of ship. This kind of warship has only one function, which is to be a patrol ship specially assigned to the knight commanders.
This kind of ship has a lifelong tenure. Each knight commander who has obtained the "Star Walker" can paint the ship according to his own preferences.
Of course... the reason why this ship is so naughty purple is not because Count Seliora himself has any bad taste. The last owner of his new ship was a female knight captain, and purple is said to be that person.
Lucky color for women.
When the ship was in the hands of Seriora, although he thought about changing it, he heard that it would cost a large amount of public funds. He was dedicated to serving the public and finally gave up holding his nose.
In addition, it stands to reason that as a knight commander, his ship should be equipped with four to eight knights, a platoon of guards, a civilian secretary group of ten, an orderly team of twenty, plus three
Crew of more than ten people.
He is one of the humanoid "powerful weapons" of the Galactic Empire, and he deserves such treatment.
However, except for the necessary team, Count Seliora declined almost all the above treatment. This time, except for the crew of the ship, he arrived completely alone.
Look, although the purple ship is a bit showy, it is simply a memorial to His Excellency the Deputy Commander's integrity! It can still be driven back and forth so that everyone in the universe can see it.
Knight Commander Seliora looked like "Those who know me well say I am worried", then ignored Yu Lian and looked at each other again with Tantai Jing. Yu Lian suddenly felt that the air around him seemed to be stagnant.
When I got up, I suddenly felt a little nervous.
You must know that a psychic of this level can really drag the opponent into his own spiritual world and decide the outcome through so-called thoughts.
If the Seventh Ring boss really attacked his senior brother, he seemed to have no choice but to help. However, he was not mentally prepared to deal with a master of this level.
Fortunately, it only lasted two or three seconds before Knight Commander Seliola withdrew his gaze and strode away without saying a word, surrounded by the Imperial officers.
As one of the commanders of the red side, he is probably planning to treat everyone in the military observation group like tomatoes and potatoes. This is also a way to avoid suspicion, which is in line with his selfless persona.
As soon as the other party left, the senior brother suddenly let out a breath that seemed to have been held for a long time. After a few rapid breaths, his breathing rhythm slowly returned to normal. His face did not change much, and he did not sweat.
Yes, but it feels like I just finished a 10,000-meter race.
"That's great. You really deserve to be the first knight commander!" The senior brother sneered.
Facing Yu Lian's confused gaze, he smiled again and said, "I just had a fight with this person."
It turns out that you are really at war in the spiritual realm!
"It's not a fight, it's just a few rounds to test each other out. I saw that I couldn't get any advantage, so I quit first, and he didn't pursue me. After all, it's the seventh ring, so the hard power is naturally far superior to mine. Between the masters,
Among them, none of our classmates are his opponents."
It will be available soon! Yu Lian thought.
"Of course, I didn't show any timidity. He would at least understand that if he acts recklessly, the price he should bear is not something he can bear. Seriola has been famous for a long time, so he must understand this truth."
Yu Lian knew that the elder brother was actually standing up for him and warning the other party not to mess around, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
He was about to say something grateful, but the other party said: "By the way, didn't you say that in order to balance the situation, the blue team might make a surprise attack on the Lion's Den Fortress, which would definitely pass through Sarna, right?
?”
He did say this and could only nod.
"You have calculated everything accurately. Since the First Knight Commander will personally go to Sarna to take charge, it only means that the red side must have noticed something. This place will definitely become a very important battlefield node."
The senior brother smiled and said: "The red and blue sides, the military arrangements of these famous imperial generals are all within your predictions! I really look forward to the day when you can command thousands of troops!"
Yu Lian showed a stiff smile, and then he could only bite the bullet and patted his chest as if "doing his job", thus hiding his little embarrassment under his slight expression.
"Haha, it's wonderful! It's getting more and more exciting! Seliola has always been a person who cares about face, or in other words, he cherishes feathers too much. He respects his identity and will never take action against a group of knights' juniors. He will only use some
Auxiliary means. This is actually more valuable for observation! Hahaha, just this point alone makes this trip absolutely worthwhile! Junior brother, especially you, must pay more attention."
What else could Yu Lian say? He could only reassure his senior brother and tell him that he had prepared more than a dozen laptop cameras, recorders and even Hummingbird drones.
In any case, since the arrival of His Excellency the Deputy Commander, the small Sarna planet has probably not been as lively as it is today since it was inhabited by people, right?
Anyway, since meeting Miss Brunhilt, Yu Lian no longer has high hopes for the Salvin treasure on this planet. Since this planet has become so lively, he might as well leave these troubles to
Yanni, just enjoy this interesting scene seriously.
Yes, anyway, this is the fault of the white-furred fox, so she should be left to worry about it.
On the other side, Count Seliora has arrived at the red side's defense headquarters in Crystal City and listened to the belated report from Brigadier General Kebed.
"Not only Yu Lian, but also Tantai Jing from the Spiritual Research Association, and Griffith from the Iron Army Alliance is also here! Thinking about it this way, my judgment is indeed correct." The count pondered for a moment, and then added
Said to Brigadier General Kebed:
"You have been here for a week, and you should have taken over all the monitoring equipment in the galaxy. Have you found anything else?"
"Except for normal freighters and passenger ships, there is nothing else found." The werewolf general replied: "However, the deep space monitoring stations in this system are only in the most basic activation state. I have them switch to war alert state. And there are many factions.
We have tripled the number of garrison personnel to maintain combat readiness in three shifts."
Seriora was very satisfied with the Brigadier's arrangement.
Of course, as a seven-ring psionic master, it would be enough for him to be able to fight. There really is nothing wrong with these "mundane" military defenses.
Fortunately, the count is not the kind of person who relies on his high position and status as a psychic to dictate the arrangements of front-line officers.
"By the way, you just said that Griffith and the others from the Iron Army Alliance encountered the ghost of the virtual world in the ruins?"
"This is news from the Crystal Stone Security Bureau. However, I am not too familiar with this matter, and it is said that it only happened once, so I didn't spend much energy on it. Of course, I
I think we should still inform you about this kind of thing." Brigadier General Kebede said.
Although this stormtrooper general is a Wolfgang, a fighting race known for his explosive bravery, he has always been as steady as a meek Lethalin.
"You did the right thing." Count Seliola said: "In other words, during this period, Griffith of the Iron Army has been coming in and out of that ruins?"
"Yes, I also reported this situation to the district government, but they said it was normal archaeological behavior and told me to ignore it."
Since what was said above, Brigadier General Kebede certainly couldn't ask any more questions. This was none of his business, and he was very professional if he took the time to report it.
"Archaeological behavior? Griffith and the others entered the country as a military observation group, right?" the count asked rhetorically.
General Kebed nodded but did not speak.
Seliola thought for a moment and then made a decision: "Take me to see the defense area you arranged first."
General Kebed breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was his first time to meet the leader of the Astral Knights, he also admired the latter's resolute military style. However, out of the minimum desire of a non-human born general,
Emotional intelligence, he still asked politely, Sir Knight Commander, it must be very hard after traveling and traveling, if you want to take a rest first, and so on.
Count Seliora pointed to the starry sky above his head: "Brigadier General, I am 90% certain that a group of naughty but capable boys are already approaching us. If we miss the time to step up our defense,
There will definitely be decades of plenty of time to weep over the indolence of these few hours today.”
It has to be said that His Excellency the First Knight Commander really knows the young knights in the regiment very well. Almost at the same time that he arrived at Sarna Star in a light vehicle, a small squadron belonging to the blue side had also arrived.
The Sarna galaxy is only 36 light-years away, and it only takes one jump to reach the Ryuga D galaxy.
