has returned to the arena several times, and the departure of the trap is as amazing as his arrival, in Chen Chao's words, it is the sound of "sigh" and it is gone.

Morningstar had already detached from the mecha and slowly walked towards the few players in the Yan Academy. Situ Yeyu had already woken up, Han Xinruo had also done a simple bandage, Chen Chao, who was taken out of the deformed cab, broke a rib, and it was no big deal, Situ Yeyu was possessed by the goddess of luck, and he was still a little dizzy when he came out, and his body was not injured.

The biggest problem was with Katarina, who looked at Morning Star differently than before. Morningstar understands that this is the after-effect of killing the last man. Caterina is a princess, although she inherited the decisiveness of Vistock, but she still has a tolerant heart, otherwise she would not be so sought after by all the people of the empire. Morningstar's killing of the Slayer team member who had given up resistance was unacceptable to Katarina, she couldn't believe that the man she loved with her, the man who was usually either squinting or silly in front of her, was such a ruthless person, although she didn't start to doubt her own judgment, but Katerina still had a gap with Morningstar.

Morningstar knew that this gap could not be eliminated by himself in a few words, and although he knew that his explanation might not be too effective, he still came to Caterina's side. Stretching out her hands to hug her beloved princess, Caterina's retreating reaction made Morningstar's heart ache, and she put down her hands, and Morningstar stood solemnly in front of Caterina and said, "I know that you can't understand what I'm doing for a while, and you may even think that I am a person who takes pleasure in killing, and I don't want to explain this." I just want you to know that the road that belongs to me in the future is full of hardships and dangers. This danger is not only for myself, but also for my friends. I don't have a lot of time to impress my opponent with leniency, and while I know my tactics may be too hot, it's the best way to do it in a short period of time. I don't say this to ask for your forgiveness, but I still think it's important for you to understand what I'm thinking. Katarina, if you can't accept my way of doing things, then I can only wish you happiness. ”

Morningstar's words were so cold to Caterina's ears, she couldn't believe that this man who had once spoiled herself to the extreme would talk to herself in such a tone, her heart was wronged, tears were falling, but she still stubbornly gritted her teeth and stared at Morningstar.

Heartache? When Morningstar saw Katarina's expression, he only felt his chest being bombarded with a sledgehammer, a pain that was difficult to put into words. But Morningstar couldn't back down, couldn't back down, he didn't want to deceive Katarina. In the days to come, such a situation cannot be avoided, war is not a game, you can fight with me, there is only life and death, victory and defeat in war, and what Morning Star is facing is obviously a war. Morningstar could swear to Caterina against his will that this was the last time, but he couldn't do it, because such an oath was simply unintentional, and if Morningstar made such a move again, it would only hurt Caterina even more.

Morningstar turned away, his back was lonely and lonely, he could feel that everyone around him had changed their opinion of him, either afraid or puzzled, although there were also people who began to worship madly, but none of this meant anything to Morningstar.

The catastrophe has already begun to appear, if the previous speculation with Xie Shiqi is correct, then the war between Morning Star and the threat from the Void has begun, and this first battle is the grudge with the Heavenly Mandate Sect, plus the video transmitted by Quinn, Morning Star feels that the burden on his body is beginning to grow heavier. Although he has good combat power, Morning Star can clearly recognize himself, he is still just a mortal, and he cannot avoid vulgarity. Morning Star knew that he couldn't be all-encompassing and take care of everyone's thoughts, so he could only go on the path he chose without hesitation, even if he hit his head and broke the bloodstream, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

Compared to Caterina's incomprehension, Qin Qing was obviously prepared. On a night when they were hugging each other and falling asleep, Morning Star once used a similar interview to visit Qin Qing, Qin Qing's answer was consistent with what she was thinking now, no matter what Morning Star did, she would stand firmly behind Morning Star. But Qin Qing couldn't bear to be a stranger to this pair of golden boys and girls because of such a thing, so she took a few steps and grabbed Morning Star's arm, trying to persuade Morning Star not to deal with it like this, and stabilize Caterina's emotions before making plans. But Morningstar shook his head firmly, now compromise is tantamount to deception, Morningstar has never believed what some people say, women sometimes need to be coaxed.

For Morning Star's "ruthlessness", Corterina was even more heartbroken, tears had been completely uncontrollable, and her voice trembled and asked Morning Star: "Are you going to leave me because I oppose your approach?" What about your vow to keep my life? Aren't you going to be my knight? ”

Morningstar stopped, sighed deeply, turned his back to Caterina and said, "In the burden behind my back, not only you, but also the future of the entire human race. I'm still your knight, I'll be there for you whenever you need me, but I can't be swayed by your thoughts, I have my own way to go. ”

Flickering, Morningstar, already heartbroken, was unable to continue talking to Katarina, and Shadowstep escaped from the much-anticipated arena. Caterina, on the other hand, felt the world spin for a while, and if it weren't for Sulla behind her to help her, the princess of the empire would have collapsed to the ground at this time.

……

Morningstar imagines finding an off-the-beaten-path cliff and shouting to vent his anguish like ordinary people when they fall out of love, or going to a bar where no one knows him and getting drunk and then falling asleep on a street corner. But Morningstar knew that he couldn't do this, the crisis in Buttkamp was not completely resolved, and he still needed to continue to deal with it.

Before Morning Star returned to his accommodation, Xie Shiqi rushed back out of breath, thinking that Morning Star would be alone in the room to grieve, but what Xie Shiqi saw was that Morning Star had unfolded the star map of the star region near Butkamp, looking for any hidden danger that might hide the ships of the Heavenly Mandate Sect.

Xie Shiqi knew that Morning Star did not need to be comforted at this time, and he believed that Morning Star could regulate his emotions. At the same time, Xie Shiqi is also testing Morning Star, recently, Morning Star's performance has made him very satisfied, as a soldier, as the leader of a small group, Morning Star has done everything Xie Shiqi is very satisfied, but this is not enough, Xie Shiqi wants to know if this man of his age is suitable to be a leader, a leader who can support him regardless of all obstacles.

Morningstar's performance did not disappoint Xie Shiqi, and in the face of a huge emotional setback, Morningstar survived.

Seeing Xie Shiqi returning, Chenxing beckoned Xie Shiqi to speak closely.

"How's the investigation of the surface of the planet Butkamp going?"

Xie Shiqi replied, "You can rest assured that the Imperial Army on the surface of the planet is fully operational and is conducting an investigation of all unidentified people. ”

Morningstar shook his head and said, "This is not enough, go and negotiate with Caterina to increase the protection of densely populated areas." And it can't be ruled out that people with normal identities have been controlled by the Heavenly Mandate Sect, don't forget the designer, the Heavenly Mandate Sect can already obey their arrangements, and the form is very grim. ”

Xie Shiqi nodded and said, "Is there anything else you need me to say to Princess Caterina?" ”

Morning Star opened his mouth, but finally didn't speak, and waved his hand to signal Xie Shiqi to leave.

……

Caterina was not as fragile as an ordinary woman, and although she was a little out of shape when Morningstar was resolute, she quickly regained the composure that a superior person should have in the time that followed. With the help of Xie Shiqi, he quickly mobilized Buttkamp's defense forces, and in just two days, tens of thousands of followers of the Heavenly Mandate Sect were found, some of whom were coerced, and some of whom were truly convinced. These followers of the Manifest Destiny sect have created a large number of terrorist activities on Buttekamp, but the damage to people and property is very small, which is due to Katerina's calm command and response. And in space, the Imperial fleet, with the support of the advanced technology of the Goddess Eye, also fought a beautiful ambush battle, bloodlessly annihilating three warships of the Mandate of Heaven Sect hidden on an unexplored planet. In the course of this battle, the Empire also captured two commanders of one of the warships. The two commanders may no longer be able to be called human, and Catalina is surprised by the massive mutation of their body surface tissues, resulting in many external structures that are not human.

With the Empire's growing forces, the situation in Butkamp has been brought under control, and Caterina finally has time to calm down and consider her problems with Morningstar.

These days, Xie Shiqi has been going back and forth with Caterina and Morning Star, delivering all kinds of news to the man and woman who are gradually becoming more and more distant. Caterina learned what Morning Star was thinking from Xie Shiqi's mouth, but she didn't know why it was still difficult to accept Morning Star's attitude towards her. In the room, the Imperial Academy's participating teams temporarily played the role of Caterina's bodyguard, the mighty Harold dutifully guarded the entrance of the room, and Nova and Sula temporarily played the role of best friends, trying their best to enlighten Caterina. However, neither girl is a person with a lot of emotional experience, so she is also a little clumsy when enlightened, and occasional words can even have the opposite effect. Although Caterina doesn't blame them, the sadness she gets aroused can't be avoided, and anyone can see the sadness in her heart.

Ivan has been happy these days, and the reason is self-explanatory. thought that he had no chance to kiss Caterina Fangze, but what Morningstar did rekindled his hope. In Ivan's heart, such a drudgery as being the princess's bodyguard could not get along well with those girls who were still crazy about themselves, but thinking about Princess Katerina's recent mood, Ivan endured it. Defend Caterina with Harold every day, and constantly look for opportunities to get close to her.

The days of waiting finally paid off, and Harold did not serve as a guard today because he had a task on his side. However, Sula and Nova were two stupid women who couldn't speak, which made Caterina's mood even worse, and Caterina left a sentence that I wanted to stay by myself for a while, and politely sent Sula and Nova away, but ignored Ivan's existence.

In front of the window of the room, Katerina's back was full of temptation in Ivan's eyes, partly because of Katerina's own attraction to the opposite sex, and mostly because of her status as an imperial princess.

Ivan emboldened the door and entered the room without Caterina's permission. Caterina didn't look back, she mistook it for Sula and Nova and returned, still looking out the window at the sky, not saying a word.

This carelessness gave Ivan a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and although he wanted to rush up and hug Katarina, he didn't have the guts, so he took a few steps closer to Katerina and took the lead in speaking: "Carter, please allow me to call you so, my noble princess. ”

Caterina heard Ivan's voice behind her, and turned back in surprise and asked, "You!" How did you get in. ”

"Your Royal Highness, I know you're in a bad mood right now, and I think I can help you out." Ivan looked very humble, and Caterina sounded the man's rich emotional experience, and seemed to be interested, so instead of kicking him out of the room, she motioned for Ivan to sit down, and Caterina herself sat opposite Ivan.

"Ivan, I've heard that you have a lot of emotional experience, right?" Katerina's performance made Ivan mistakenly think that his opportunity had come, and quickly said that the previous relationship experiences were all play, he didn't love those women, and his heart had long been occupied by one person.

Caterina frowned slightly when she heard Ivan's answer, first, she was dissatisfied with Ivan's indifference to those girls, but she knew who the person Ivan was referring to who occupied his heart. Caterina is not a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, and she was overwhelmed by the confession of a handsome boy, but replied calmly: "Then I should really congratulate that person on getting your favor." I have a question for you, though. ”

"Tell you all, Your Royal Highness the Princess." Ivan got up and bowed to Caterina like a gentleman.

Caterina was silent for a moment and asked, "You also know what happened between me and Morningstar, and I'd love to know why you think he would say something like that to me from a man's point of view?" ”

Ivan now wanted to look up to the sky and smile, the opportunity he had dreamed of had finally arrived, but his expression still did not change, as if he had been thinking for a long time, and replied: "With all due respect, Your Royal Highness Princess." First of all, if it were me, I wouldn't be a killer in the arena against an opponent who is already defenseless, and I would still use that weird and cruel way, which is not a gentleman's doing. ”

Caterina interrupted Ivan and asked, "But those people hurt Morningstar's comrades, if your friends around you are also threatened and hurt by others, what will you do?" ”

Ivan was quick-witted, and keenly aware of his answer, stood up again and saluted Caterina, and then said, "I think I will use my forgiveness to move these people and put them back on the right path." ”

Ivan's abacus was very thoughtful, but how did he know that such an answer did not serve the purpose of raising his realm at all.

Hearing Ivan's answer, Caterina reached out and touched her forehead, thinking to herself, "Morningstar said the same, but he didn't do it, is it really because of the reason he said, there is not enough time?" Maybe it's true, he really has a lot to face. Well? How did I start making excuses for that villain? No! ”

The angels and demons in her heart are fighting, and Caterina has no opinion for a while, so she can only continue to let Ivan continue.

Seeing Katarina's expression, Ivan thought that his first step had been successfully taken, and continued: "I admire Her Royal Highness very much, your tolerance and kindness are noble qualities that I cannot attain, even if I have a conflict with your opinion, I think I will calm down first, think about whether I am wrong, and then have a calm discussion with Her Royal Highness." I think this is a quality that a man should have, and it is really not advisable to make a woman sad. ”

Ivan's words seemed to speak to Caterina's heart, and the princess, who was already depressed, looked pitiful at the moment.

Ivan thought that the time had come to add another fire to his performance, which completely ignited Katarina's anger against Morningstar, so he stood up again and said, "Princess, although I don't want to talk about the shortcomings of others behind my back, Morningstar is really unacceptable. I think you should know that Morningstar has had a bad track record since the original Alpha 137 and now the Itgleeson exploration mission. During the exploration mission, he caused a conflict of interest to kill three security personnel of the Alliance, and the methods were extremely cruel. Then, in the mission of Hai Wenxing, he ruthlessly killed the servants of the alliance nobles. And you must have noticed his strange mecha earlier, Sir Jorah must have died under his strange moves, and the marks left by the impact on the scene are exactly the same as the ravines on the battlefield a few days ago. Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't think there's anything wrong with the Alliance's title of Morning Star, he's a murderous man, and he's really a butcher! You ......"

"Shut up!" Katerina's angry roar interrupted Ivan's words, and the anger in her eyes seemed to burn Ivan out, and Caterina said sternly: "Who do you think you are?" Or do you think I'm the same as those women who have been tricked by you in a few words? Do you think I don't know about your little tricks? Morningstar's methods are a bit excessive, but what are you to slander him in front of me? Get lost! I don't want to see you again! ”
