This group is completely different from the costume of the Space Mercenary. Instead of the toughness of a steel machine, he wore an ancient armor of pale gold, each of which was decorated with fine patterns, full of nobility and mystery. Beneath the armor were patches of crystalline skin, revealing a strange blue glow during his movements.

The first one has a noble golden armor and ancient runes. It's like precipitating time and history. Beneath the heavy golden helmet are strands of crystallized beard and piercing gaze.

"Kirk. Sure enough, it's you. The dead old man sighed at the sight of the man. I should have thought a long time ago that only you could protect so many people in the explosion of the mothership. And also with them to continue the mission. ”

The old man in golden armor, that is, Kirk, stopped and suddenly showed a faint smile. "Dead old man, my old friend. It's good to meet you. Is it my lord's guidance that has brought you to me? To end our last unfinished battle? ”

"Hmph." The dead old man snorted coldly, but he didn't speak.

In fact, he and Kirk were by no means friends. It would be more appropriate to say that it is an enemy. Over the years, for the sake of human expansion, he has fought against energy civilizations, including Kirk. He was impressed by this Elt's powerhouse, especially with its impregnable defenses, which was a nightmare for someone as good at attacking as the Dead Old Man.

The last time the two met was a hundred years ago, and it ended in a scoreless. Kierke's statement is clearly referring to this.

However, only the dead old man knew what he said, in fact, he boasted that he didn't know whether he won or lost. In fact, as long as the battle lasted another month, he would be defeated due to lack of energy. He's the real loser. But of course, he didn't show his timidity at this time, just snorted coldly and turned his head. "Kirk. You've been ahead of us, when did you run to the back? ”

"Sometimes. The Elts should also learn to be flexible. We are not only slaves to the Lord, but also assistants to the Lord. Are you accustomed to the generosity of the Elts and the cunning of men? Kirk replied softly. The gaze under the heavy helmet revealed a faint smile.

The smile was sly compared to his ancient appearance.

The dead old man was angry enough. Obviously, Kirk had already known about the plans of the cosmic mercenaries, so he suddenly turned to their rear. But it's only this old man's meson power. so that he could not detect the movements of the Elts.

But at this point, no one can stay out of it.

Thinking of this, the dead old man glared at Kirk fiercely. Hate said. "Don't be verbose, none of us can face him alone now. You're going to have to pay a price to get your hands on what's in the ruins. ”

"The Elts never care about the price, as long as they can get the reward." Kierke replied. Then he turned his head and looked above the altar.

There. The Immortal King stood silently, staring at them coldly.

Dirk was calm at this point, as if he didn't care about the intruders. Watch them communicate with each other. But when Kirk's gaze turned. But he froze.

At the same time, Kirk's voice rang out. "Great. His Highness the Hades? ”

"Elts." Dirk pondered for a moment, then asked suddenly. "Who are you?"

"It's my teacher." Kierke replied respectfully. There is no sloppiness in speech etiquette. This is the tradition of his family, and it is a style that Dirk is very familiar with.

Looking at this Elt powerhouse, Dirk's gaze became hazy, as if he had left reality and traveled back to the ancient era of chaos.

It was a time when Crodil had not yet become an enemy of the universe and had made friends with many civilizations.

A young Elt came to Dirk's mind. He was handsome and talkative. The body is full of sunshine. Got along well with every conqueror of Crodir. He is very knowledgeable. A penchant for talking about ancient and mysterious anecdotes in between battles was a fatal attraction to the knowledge-deficient conquerors of Crodir.

Dirk remembers that he was one of those people he was attracted to. He enjoyed returning to Claudir Primary between battles and stopping in front of the knowledgeable Elt. Listen to his bard-like voice and many secrets that he has never heard before.

This young man of Elt opened a window for Dirk to see beyond the battle. For the first time, Dirk also knew that in addition to conquest in this universe, there is one more thing worth pursuing for the people of Crodir.

That's ...... Love and affection.

……………………

"It's a pity, it's all over......" Dirk sighed. Stopped reminiscing.

The Elt died at the very least, at his hands. At the end of the war in Nacrodir, he crushed the man's crystal nucleus with his own hands. Watching that handsome face disappear in front of him. Like their own countless enemies.

It's just that Dirk didn't expect that the other party actually left a student.

"You...... Seen him? ”

"Nope." Kierke answered honestly. "Before I was born, my teacher dedicated himself to the holy war of the Elt civilization. I just accepted his legacy. But there are a lot of things mentioned in his legacy, and you are also mentioned. ”

"Oh?" Dirk raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of surprise.

But Kirk said solemnly as if he couldn't see it. "My teacher knows that sooner or later he will fight with you, but he is not hostile to you, he said in the lineage that he fights with you is the need of civilization, the need of the race, no matter how much he admires you and appreciates the civilization of Crodil. From the moment the Crodil people acquired the Children of the Abyss, they became the enemies of the universe. He had to do this, in order not to let that terrible being reappear. ”

"This is the mission, and it is the will of our Lord." Kirk suddenly raised his head and met Dirk's gaze without flinching.

"It was the same 10,000 years ago, and today 10,000 years later, we are the same."

As he spoke, and without seeing him order, hundreds of Elt warriors suddenly dispersed, emitting bright hexagonal wafers that instantly stuck to the walls of the cave. In the next moment, countless rays of light radiated from these crystals, forming a huge net that filled the entire cavern.

Dirk is right in the middle of this net. All around is this bright light.

Kirk then turned his head and said to the dead old man.

"We Elts don't want to form an alliance with humans, but in this battle, we can join forces."

"Okay." The dead old man took a deep breath and said without hesitation. Immediately after that, he stepped forward and stood with Kirk.

Behind them, cosmic mercenaries, star thieves, and numerous Elt warriors entered a combat stance at the same time.
