The Star Knight

For sixty days, the head of the academy arranged for board and lodging. There were few recruits and almost all of them looked nervous. They arrived at the City of War Stars from all over the country and began to dare not speak or move around.I am afraid that there will be rigorous training.

The result was unexpectedly relaxed. The teacher who came to the class looked like that. It was not a regular teacher at all, but an alien dozing off with mucus all over.

A few days ago, I talked about the history of Mars. Mars was established in the light age of 3,300. It was originally a part of foreigners who came to the Ares galaxy. This part of the people can be traced back to the ancient human era.

The ancestors of Mars are a group of criminals, including soldiers who participated in the revolution and eventually failed.They killed the captain during the escort and left the interstellar community.

At that time, the republic and the empire had not been divided, and they were collectively called the interstellar community. There were too many areas in the universe that had not been explored, the order was in chaos, and the Star Gate had not established perfect nodes and networks.The lifespan of a person is less than one hundred years, so the greeting "I wish you a long life" is passed down. Until the general lifespan reaches more than one hundred years, mercenaries are also used to congratulating each other with this sentence-perhaps "Hundred years old" has become a fictitious concept of "wish you a long life".

This part of the revolutionary army settled down on the star and organized an armed resistance alliance. In addition to adhering to the original revolutionary concept, it gradually formed its own regime.

The God of War galaxy more than 10,000 years ago belonged to the Three Regardless Zones of the Universe. The interstellar drug trade, arms smuggling, homicide and money laundering are often used here as transit points.Over time, a black market for hiring murders has formed. After thousands of years of evolution, the first generation of revolutionary troops and their descendants have died on this planet, and new mercenary organizations have emerged to replace the armed resistance alliance and become this planet. The main force.

Most of them are made up of interstellar asylum seekers, many of whom are fugitives and desperates. In order to avoid the wanted of the interstellar community, they came to the Ares galaxy to serve as mercenaries, accepting commissions from all over the universe to complete missions.

Gradually, the Ares galaxy became synonymous with mercenaries. After participating in a civil war in the interstellar community, in 11207, the Milky Way and the lion galaxy split, and the republic and empire regimes took their respective stages.

The mercenary forces of the Ares galaxy played an extremely important role in this civil war, so after the end of the civil war, they became an independent middle force.

At this time, the martial stars were still in a mess. The mercenaries were of varying qualities, with nearly 100 million. They interfered in the internal affairs of the country, slaughtered the rebels of the small and small planets, bought and sold arms in private, gathered people to fight and make trouble, and elected the strongest to become leaders. And split into multiple factions.

Until the emergence of the first mercenary king, the state of the fragmented regime was unified by thunder-like means, and the bureau of the mercenary union was established.

The mercenary king made a star and retired behind the scenes.

Since then, the mercenary country has operated in an orderly manner in accordance with the regulations.The mercenary king became the spiritual leader of the entire galaxy. After several revolutions and conflicts with the empire and the republic, one war even broke out.

Finally, the new mercenary king Azeroth led the mercenaries to a beautiful victory. After the retreat of the republic, the Star Alliance entered into a new convention-the mercenary country does not allow any more prisoners from other galaxies and smuggling. In exchange, the Empire and the Republic recognized the independent status of the Ares galaxy.

The consequences caused by this condition are enormous. Death row prisoners, life imprisoners and stowaways, pirates and other people are the main sources of soldiers in the mercenary country. In this way, they have been reduced by nearly...

Opal heard dizzy and dizzy, and sighed for the history of this galaxy.

The people next to him were expressionless and impatient.

"Azeroth is a very courageous person." Opal said.

"I already know." The classmate next to me said helplessly: "This is all junior high school content, did you miss the class?"

Opal shook his head and said, "I have never read a book."

The students looked at him strangely. Opal actually knew this history. He had seen it on Rector's chip a long time ago.But it was far too shocking to attend the class.

It's time for get out of class, a sleepy face, and the alien teacher who is covered with slime is still talking about history slowly.

"Don't drag the hall!" The students cheered.

"Teacher! I wish you a long life!" another student shouted, causing a burst of laughter.

The long-lived Aung Sing creatures, like snails, drag out the mucus slowly away. They are all slime creatures. The brain neurons are all over the body and can store a lot of information, but the thinking speed is very slow, just like a computer storage.

Opal Road: "Twilight, have lunch together."

He rose at the same table and nodded.

"They can actually play holographic movies." Opal's deskmate Mu Shu said to him: "I don't know what education this is. When I was a female star, we just stayed at home and watched holographic projections..."

Opal said: "I think this kind of education is good, at least let the students know each other."

"Perhaps." Mushu is a young man who is much older than Opal. She is very poor in the female Luoxing's home. She has six younger brothers to raise. Without a way out, she boarded the interstellar ship and came to the God of War. The galaxy took a chance.This reminds Opal of his former friend Oman on the B-11.

They left the building on a small disc, flew over the large square in the central area of ​​the City of War of the Souls, and went to the mercenary theater to eat snacks. They had four meals during the day that lasted 36 hours and slept for 12 hours. Opal just started Very uncomfortable.Only gradually adjusted over a day later.

There are many alien races in the City of War Soul, and many of the inter-galaxy clients are willing to come here to entrust themselves. The mercenary union in the main city area will seriously receive and give a suitable mission reward evaluation.

"That guy looks really strange," Mu Shu said. "How much can I eat in one meal."

Opal and Mushu put their shoulders together and walked through the theater garden to find a food stand. Their eyes were resting on a hairy huge ball in the middle of the garden.

Human beings are the most prosperous race in the universe. Although they have only a basic life span of two hundred years as intelligent life, their gene reproductive ability is very strong, coupled with the development of science and technology, people's lives are almost unlimitedly extended, which leads to Humans have become the largest race among the stars.The citizens of the mercenary country are nearly 80% human.As a registered member of Star Alliance, the anti-racial discrimination law also applies here.

Opal said: "Is it going to eat the whole street, the mouth looks quite big, and it is very sharp."

The huge hairball squatted in front of the food stand and opened his mouth, exposing the sharp Bai Sensen's teeth.The boss shouted: "Don't come! You didn't pay! Otherwise I will find the police!"

"How about your mother?" Mu Shu patted it in the past: "This is not good, kid..."

The fur ball swallowed Mu Shu in a single bite.

Suddenly screaming everywhere, the bosses turned blue and shouted to escape.

Opal was terrified, loudly said: "What's going on! Mushu!"

Immediately, he opened the hairball's mouth subconsciously, the hairball burst into tears, laughed, and spit out Mu Shu again.

"Don't bully my pet!" the woman's voice screamed: "Go away! Dada!"

The fur ball jumped away with the woman.

Mu Shu was dripping wet all over her body, and Opal laughed.

"I really hate these rich people who don't have pets attached to their pets!" During the afternoon class, Mu Shu was still wiping his hair.

Opal said sympathetically: "She may think that this large pet has a good temper and will not eat people... Racial discrimination is not good. As the teacher said, you must accept the remaining intelligent life groups from the heart. Help you perform extraterrestrial missions..."

The class is quiet, the history class is over, and the next is the combat class.

A man came in the classroom, and the recruits stood in an empty classroom, all silent.

"Hello, recruits, my name is Gray Wolf." The new teacher is a normal human wearing a jacket, and finally has a reliable one.

He only wore a jacket on his upper body, his chest was exposed, his abdomen, his chest muscles were covered with scars, and there was a trace of injury on his face. His tone was full of coldness, and he began to teach them combat lessons.

The first is theory, and then the practical process. Many combat skills Opal have been learned at Rector. Rector has been taught once when he stayed on the B-11 star, but the theory is more profound than the gray wolf instructor. , More thorough.

"To become a junior mercenary," said the gray wolf, "you must choose a weapon that is at your disposal. You can't fight against the enemy empty-handed. I found that many of you have your own weapons. Knowing the basic fighting method, people who do not have weapons now need to conduct a test to choose the right weapon."

Opal has a mechanical sword, who could not have participated in the test, but could not help but follow the seventeen recruits to do the weapon test.

The instructor did not allow him to leave, and patiently watched them choose weapons.

Guns, swords, mechanical axes, long-handed photon cutters, etc. are arranged in this order. Hundreds of weapons that can be called or cannot be named are dazzling.Participants who took part in the test tried one by one, using the weapon in their hands to cause three injuries to the virtual training dummy, scoring and averaging the results.

Opal tried one by one, and the instructors supervised behind their team.

"Who gave you your mechanical sword?" the gray wolf instructor asked.

Opal said: "My... an enlightenment teacher."

The instructor nodded and declined to comment. Opal tried to use a light-powered boomerang and hit the dummy with a score of 7.9. He asked, "How is my weapon?"

The instructor said: "Try, maybe there is something more suitable for you. This is the Imperial Military Academy's scoring system. It is not completely calculated based on the damage value you caused. It also reflects your body's grip and posture when using the weapon for the first time. , Every muscle response in the whole body, etc., gives a comprehensive fit evaluation."

Opal said: "When he asked me to choose a weapon, he didn't try it this way."

Gray Wolf Rao interesting taste: "How to try?"

Opal said: "He made me look at the twelve weapons and feel which one is talking to me..."

The gray wolf laughed and smiled, "It's interesting, I've never heard of such a scheme."

Opal knew he could not understand, he tried one round after another, and finally said: "I still use a mechanical sword."

The Gray Wolf did not force him. The two stood aside and watched the trainees try their weapons. Opal couldn't help but wonder: "Why are there so many newcomers in the entire martial star?"

The gray wolf said: "This class is taught cyclically. You can attend classes whenever you come." But in recent years, there have been fewer. There are not many people who are willing to be mercenaries. The empire is tilted, and it is possible to fight against the forces of Commander Caroline."

Opal nodded, and the gray wolf said lightly: "Do you like this planet? What do you think of it?"

Opal Road: "It's still...not really..."

The gray wolf laughed and said, "The star is a place full of masculinity. We welcome every partner in battle."

Opal nodded and said: "Hopefully I can integrate here."

Opal found that he could gradually accept the idea of ​​the people here, after all, this was the first planet he dabbled in after leaving his hometown.The mercenaries of the Martial Star are still very friendly. They seem to have the consciousness of being seniors, or they may be subconscious protection between their peers, trying to keep every new member from being scared away-of course The reason for this scaring may have originated from themselves.

After selecting the weapon, the gray wolf left and switched to another female instructor to start the class. The two played in pairs. Although the practice weapon was not lethal, it was also very painful after being hit.It took nearly a week for the recruits to practice endlessly. For Opal, the mechanical sword has been used to the heart. He and the team of Mushu have almost become Mushu’s training instructors. .

Until the two magnetic storms passed, the weapon training course period ended.

In the dormitory, Mu Shu said tiredly: "Opal, the instructor said that a suitable junior gun needs 20,000 credit points."

Opal lay on the bed and opened the E7 projection device to see the mercenary daily newspaper, which recorded some strange tasks and how the mercenaries overcome the difficulties.He casually said: "They will give you a discount, if you have no money, let the IRC provide proof of your private account, you can also borrow from the union, buy a gun in installments."

Mu Jun said: "But that gun is very general, without a good gun, I think I will die easily next."

Opal glanced at him, pointed at him, and said casually: "A good weapon is not necessary. The instructor said that the key to confronting the enemy is calmness, will, and courage. Have you forgotten?"

Mushu said helplessly: "I just want to make some money and rent a small farm on the female star."

Opal slouched his arms lazily and turned the mercenary daily newspaper, saying: "There will be, you can do it."

Twilight said: "The price of the female star is very low, this gun is worth my farm."

Opal said: "You can also buy a cheaper one, don't care too much about it. A spaceship has tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of credit points. The one with the jump function is 8 billion. My goal is to buy the one. ."

Mu Shudao: "What do you buy a jump spaceship?"

Opal thought for a while, then replied: "It's more convenient not to do anything, to drive around to see, travel, or perform tasks."

Mu Shu sighed long.

The second training cycle began, and the gray wolf was back.

"Pain is the most important factor affecting your judgment." Gray wolf instructor Shen said: "Past examples tell us that a mercenary often dies not in the hands of the enemy, but because of his own judgment errors."

"When enough pain affects your judgment, the next step you can no longer fight correctly, there is a chance of defeating defeat, once missed, in the end there is only one end-death."

"So I will give you pain training now." Gray wolf instructor said: "Can't bear can ask to leave, this training chooses the elimination system, I hope you can stick to the end."

The chair emerged from under the ground, the helmet fell from the ceiling, Opal looked at others, and put on the helmet at the instructor's demonstration.

The helmet is not big, just sticking to the back of his head, forehead and temple, and the coverage is extremely limited.

This is a nerve center stimulation training method. The mercenary instructor turned the button off and turned away.

Suddenly, the sudden pain overwhelmed him, and the nerve that directly stimulated the pain came more directly and thoroughly. That was something Opal had never touched, nor was Rector ever taught.

The pain was far more than ten thousand times as much as the fractures, skin breakages, and scratches he encountered when mining before. Opal's eyes were loose, and he could not help twitching while sitting on the chair, and cried out loudly.

"Ah--!" Opal's facial features were distorted by pain. For a time, the whole body moved from the fingers to the eyebrows, as if penetrated by a sharp weapon. The pain was like a thunder running through his body, pulling his soul out of the body. After being thrown into the heavy equipment and rolled into a piece of paper, Opal almost lost consciousness. His eyes were completely dark. He could not hear any sound in his ears. The lasting pain felt rolling all over the body.

At the next moment, a gentle force came out of nowhere, dispelling his pain, Opal opened his eyes wide, slowly gasping, the stars in his spiritual world shone, the dark blue sky spread out, covering his body .

The pain gradually eased, and for some time, the instructor's voice rang and said, "Are you all right?"

The helmet was taken off, Opal closed his eyes, his face pale, and he lay panting on the chair.

The instructor took off his helmet, and the recruits around him were exhausted, and the instructor said: "This is controlled by nerve regulation. It will automatically stop after coma. Have you sustained it for so long?"

Opal Road: "I...I..."

Gray Wolf said: "Try again, increase the pain."

Opal changed lane: "No, no! I will die!"

The gray wolf laughed and said, "Just make a joke." Said Bi took away the helmet, said: "Everyone is working hard, go back and rest."

Opal didn't even stand, standing against the wall and trembling.

"Are you okay." Mushu passed out the earliest, and now he has almost rested. Opal still has pale lips and sweat, and nods.

Mushu asked Opal to sit on his shoulder and return to the dormitory.

After ten hours of rest, it was the second wave of training.This time it is mental pain. The so-called mental pain is deeper than pain. The primitive conditioned reflexes of addiction, itchiness, and collapse. This kind of torture is more intense than pain, and it is more difficult to get rid of.

The trained recruits couldn’t help but wailing on the ground, and they looked like they were scratching their hearts. They couldn’t forget the taste of Opal for a lifetime. To.

A recruit could not help but slammed the ground with his head, and finally fainted as expected.

This time Opal’s faith did not help him any more, as if the power of faith would spontaneously expel the conscious intruder only when the spirit would be permanently harmed.

But Opal still reached the end. When he took off his helmet, he almost had the illusion that he had died once.

The instructor said: "How does it taste?"

"Poppy! Phantom blue fluorite! Mother's milk! Farstar radio!" Instructor Jun said: "These things can make you dependent, called drugs! If you lose them after long-term use, drug addiction will be Like you just met."

"How many mercenaries are there to paralyze themselves." The instructor said coldly: "Using these prohibited drugs, I finally lost all the combat capabilities and became tumbling, bug-like waste on the ground. I believe that after this time, you will not Will be interested in interstellar drugs again."

Opal waved his hand hard, got up swayingly, wiped away his tears and his nose, and nodded.

"I wish you a long life." The instructor said casually: "Take a rest for 24 hours and continue in the next class."

The third course and the second one were a full day away from the universe. It was still mental stimulation training, but this time it was replaced by a fear effect.

The helmet stimulates a surge of adrenal hormone secretion, stimulates all people to generate fear, tremble, and lose control. When they finally reach a certain level, they will enter the state of illusion before destruction.This time Opal was almost completely unaffected by fear. His faith was like a copper wall and iron wall, without any fear.

Three sessions ended, followed by three cycles, but this time the instructor adjusted the intensity of the helmet’s stimulation, opened it according to everyone’s acceptance limit, and allowed them to take simple actions-including answering questions, puzzles, walking around, in a closed environment Find an exit within.

Until another week later, when the students were tortured and exhausted, the final assessment came-three kinds of response cross-stimulation, and when they rushed together, Opal was almost mad and he had to deal with these three kinds of attacks. Or a strong stimulus that flooded at the same time, wearing a helmet, and the two escaped from the labyrinth in the training field in groups, and carried weapons to fight the battle robots endlessly.

He was grouped together with his roommate and the same table, Mushu, and was on the verge of despair several times. Finally, he carried Mushu and stumbled out of the maze.The moment you take off your helmet, it's like reborn and reborn.

The instructor said: "Teamwork is also very important. Most of you do not understand how to cooperate, but this is no longer my responsibility. After joining the mercenary group, I believe someone will teach you."

Thankfully, the assessment was finally over. On the day Opal returned to the dorm to lie down like a dead dog, and he didn't want to move.

"Op." Twilight said.

"What." Opal answered weakly.

"I dragged you down." Mu Shu said: "I'm sorry, I think I'm still not suitable to be a mercenary."

Opal said: "Don't say that, we all passed the exam, and the instructor said that there will not be such a hard test in the next time."

Mu Shu said, "No, I plan to go back."

Opal sat up violently and said, "Friend, think clearly, do you really want to go?"

Mu Shu took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to die..."

Opal said: "No, Mushu, you will not die, listen to me..."

Mu Jun said: "No, friend, you listen to me. I can't die. I think if I become a mercenary, I will die. I'm not a fighting material. I won't live long, and I have younger brothers to feed. I’m not the one, do you understand? I’m not like you, you have something you are after, you know what you want to do, but I can’t do it..."

Opal Road: "You can, you can do it!"

Mu Shudao: "I can't do it! I'm just for money! I was a mercenary because I heard that there is money to make. You, you don't lack money, but you have a pursuit, you really want to fight, and I don't want to ...I have no choice but to think that this industry is too dangerous..."

Opal couldn't say a word for a while, and Mu Shu said: "I have to go and go back to the female star. Opal, this is for you. I'm glad to meet you friend in a short time."

Mu Shu handed him a nutshell-like thing and said, "This is the fruit of the mother of the female Luo. When you want to take a vacation, bring it to the female Luo Xing to find me. I invite you to eat delicious food. Take you to play, the female dill will not attack those who hold this fruit."

Opal said: "Wait, Mushu. I'll take you on a long-distance ship."

Mu Shu nodded tiredly, and Opal accompanied him to the college check-in desk to cancel the file. The person in charge said nothing, only told him: "Wish you happy, sir."

Mu Shu, carrying his simple luggage, arrived at the space apron. Opal said, "Waiting for me here."

He turned around and took out all the ore from the spacecraft and brought it to the IRC to cash it out, a total of 180,000 credit points.Opal turned out 20,000 points and got a temporary card and handed it to Mushu.

Mu Shu froze, Opal said: "You hold it, try to do a small business."

Mu Shudao: "Too much! I can't take it!"

Opal laughed: "Now it's 3,000 points to wipe a spaceship, not much."

Twilight Road: "A long-distance ticket only costs three hundred points..."

Opal said: "Come on, I lent it to you, ya. You said, the female radish in your hometown tastes good. If it can be cultivated smoothly, I will try it when I go to your house for a holiday in the future. After the farm opened, I made money, and don’t forget to give me back the 20,000 yuan. What is that term called investment? Yes, this is my investment in you."

Mu Shu stayed quiet for a long time and nodded: "Thank you, friend, no matter when you come, I welcome you."

Opal patted Mu Shu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Friend, I wish you success and don't let my investment float."

Mushu and Opal hugged tightly and got on the voyage ship. Opal watched the interstellar voyage ship leave and turned back to continue his training.
