Chapter 48: The Oath of Life

The words are divided into two ends, one for each branch. Not to mention the story of Qiao Yu in the God of War Academy, but to say that Qiao Shida has reported since he left Sailenxing and returned to the fleet.

Joestar was previously a reserve knight in the first brigade of the Star Knights of the Human Empire. As a Star Knight of the Empire, if you have the ability to control mecha battles before obtaining the official knight title, then you can get the qualification of Reserve Knight. The so-called reserve knight is actually an imperial pilot who is still slightly lacking in ability, not rich enough in experience, and lacking in merit.

However, even though it is the so-called Reserve Knight, it is only equipped with the lowest level of the Empire's M1 standard production mecha, but you must know that the Star Knight's mecha, even if it is the lowest level of M1 production model, it is also a war weapon that concentrates the most high-end technological level of the Empire. The cost of an M1 mecha even exceeds that of an ordinary frigate, and it is close to a higher-level destroyer. This is due to the fact that although the mech is much smaller than a ship, the technology used is quite high-end, which means that it is extremely demanding in terms of materials. This has resulted in the high cost of mechas.

Therefore, in order to save costs, the prototype of the M1 mecha was redeveloped, and two standard mechas, the M1 long-range mecha and the melee mecha, were formed. Because of the different combat methods of these two mechas, the design of the two mechs is relatively less needed than the prototype, thus reducing the cost.

Joestar and Miller were previously assigned to the Celenne as Reserve Knights for garrison duty. In fact, it is to accumulate experience and merits to become an official Star Knight. In the battle of Celenstar, despite Miller's sacrifice, Joestar shot down the Forsyken mecha with the assistance of Qiao Yu, which also accelerated his promotion.

When he was recalled from the Saileng Fleet, he was notified by the squadron leader that he might be promoted to the official Star Knight in the near future.

In terms of ranking, in addition to the rank and official position of the army, there is also a knight rank. At present, the knights in the empire are mainly divided into Reserve Knights, Morning Star Knights, Radiant Moon Knights, and Radiant Sun Knights.

Although this classification of knights is based on combat merit, not on the strength of the knight. However, it often reflects the strength of the knight who has obtained the corresponding rank. After all, if you don't have the strength, how can you get a huge merit and be promoted?

In addition to the knight grading system, there is a standard for the division of the strength of the star knight, which is the so-called tactical action level. For example, Qiao Yu's walking, running, and basic movements that he just started training in school are level 0 tactical moves. And the disorderly staggered step cast by the lotus star mark is a level 3 action. The action itself is divided into levels based on difficulty, and although it does not reflect the knight's ability very intuitively, the knight who can perform the more advanced tactical moves are often more powerful.

"Joestar, the promotion order above has come down, congratulations, tomorrow in Conference Room 1, the squadron leader will come over to attend your promotion ceremony. Prepare yourself. "The Captain of the First Brigade of the Star Knights, the Second Squadron, and the Third Squad (I was the O(∩_∩)O~) squad leader came to Joestar's dormitory to inform him.

As Joestar's direct boss, from the first day Joestar joined the team as a reserve knight, he watched this newcomer and now grown into a qualified star knight, Ryan is very pleased. After all, starting from the official Star Knight level, the higher you go, the more rare the number of knights becomes, which is completely different from the relatively large number of reserve knights.

And becoming an official Star Knight is not only a promotion of rank, but more importantly, you can be assigned to a more powerful mecha! Instead of using the M1 melee or ranged mech, there is an M1 prototype or even an enhanced version of the MKII.

Time flies. Joestar didn't even seem to have recovered from the euphoria, shock, surprise, and other emotions generated by the captain's announcement, but the time for the promotion ceremony was approaching.

Joestar walked in the brightly lit base passage, and even felt a little dazed. However, he still tried to concentrate as much as possible, after all, the promotion ceremony is the best reward and recognition for a reserve knight, and it is also a very important and sacred moment in his life.

Joestar pushed the door open and walked into the conference room. A large round table used to be used in the middle of the meeting has been moved, and a small low platform has been erected in front of the conference room, and the seats that usually surround the table are now placed in rows under the high platform. The seats were full of people—not only members of Joestar's third squad, but also some of Joestar's reserve knight comrades, and even other squads who came over to join in the fun.

Joestar looked up, and standing on the platform was none other than the squadron leader of the second squadron, Sendaya, the Knight of the Radiant Moon. Sendaya also saw Joestar pushing the door in, so he motioned for Joestar to come forward.

The soldiers who were originally sitting in their seats chatting also noticed the presence of today's protagonist, so they quieted down one after another. Joestar walked through the aisle specially set aside in the middle, he felt a little nervous, and involuntarily straightened his waist, although he felt that his legs and feet seemed to be a little stiff, but he still tried to get out of the most standard military posture.

"Joestar, come forward!" Sendaya's breathless voice came from the stage.

When Joestar heard the squadron leader's voice, he unconsciously stood up and saluted, and then realized that the squadron leader had let him go to the stage.

The comrades around him let out a good-natured laugh, but some of them had also experienced such an occasion, and some of them, although they had not experienced it, could understand Joestar's nervousness right now.

Joestar walked up to the stage and stood facing Sendaya.

"Joestar, a glorious warrior of the Human Empire. He is highly skilled and strong-willed. Became a glorious Ready Star Knight 3 years ago. Today, here, in recognition of his exploits in the Battle of the Celian Planet, after the Star Knight Roundtable deliberation and reporting to His Majesty the Great Forest Sky Emperor of the Human Empire, Joestar was allowed to be promoted to an official Star Knight to fight for human civilization! Sendaya briefly recounted Joestar's resume to the audience.

"Joestar, are you willing to become a glorious star knight, the strongest sword for human civilization to open up the universe, and a solid backing for the flame of hope of human civilization?" Sendaya asked solemnly.

"I do."

"Then, please swear by your life."

"I swear by my life."

"The universe is immense, and the deep space is vast. Cold silence, dark and dark. ”

"I will rest from this day until death."

"I will do my duty, whether I live or die."

"I would like to be the sword of human civilization and the sword of stardust."

"I want to be a flame against the cold, a light that pierces the darkness."

"I am willing to dedicate my life and glory to this vast sea of stars, protect human civilization, and pass on the torch from generation to generation."

"As it is today, so it will be tomorrow."
