The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"what to do?"

Vasak's mind suddenly went blank.

When he came in, he would always brag to the young guard about how brave he had been, but even he didn't realize it - people always like to brag about what they once had, but now they have actually lost it.

Hiding himself in the dark and unknown underground for many years, in addition to his pale skin color, he also became afraid of the sun and no longer had the vitality he once had. After years of fighting with others and being addicted to fighting for power, he began to become hesitant and careless like a politician, so his determination and bravery as a soldier also left him.

All Vasak has now is the scarred body of the former warrior Vasak.

He just realized this, but it was a little too late.

During the third collapse, he could sit high in Zhuhuo No. 1 and watch the battle with the Herrscher from a distance through various detection equipment. He also heard Famas' last words in the communication.

He didn't have to face the Herrscher at that time.

Later, in Poison Chrysalis' office, he faced Mikael alone, even with the muzzle of the 270mm rail gun on his head, he didn't show much cowardice - at least that's what he thought.

Thinking about it now, it was because he subconsciously understood that Mikael was a rational Herrscher, and judging from his previous actions, he would not do anything too extreme.

That's why he felt confident.

But it was different now. The Herrscher was only dozens of nautical miles away from him, and could fall on top of him at any time. Famas seemed to have seen that the Herrscher's claws easily tore through the nearly ten-meter-thick ceiling of the command room. Then take out those who can't escape and eat them one by one...

"No...why did I learn from Famas before and come to the front line to supervise the battle!"

The entire command room, from the staff and staff to the Karabis brothers and Mei, were all looking at him eagerly, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

But he just stood there, silent, and his only movement was to raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his temples.

The Karabis siblings might think that he is thinking of a new battle plan, but Mei has already seen everything:

"He is not thinking about anything else at all, but has spent all his strength to suppress the idea of ​​​​escaping alone... It is really sad for this person..."

"Moreover, what prevents him from escaping is probably not his sense of responsibility and dignity, but... he is afraid that after he escapes, he will never be able to embark on the road to power again... What a sad person..."

It is true that if you are willing to abandon all the equipment and soldiers on Agana Island, the people in the command post, at least Mei herself, can escape, but——

If everyone thinks this way, who else will fight against Honkai?

"Command, the defenders of Rota Island have lost contact. The last batch of soldiers heading to Rota Island encountered a tsunami, and only one person was washed back to the shore!"

"Command, the sea level near Agana is rising. How should we deal with it..."

"Commander, if you don't give the order..."

"command……"

"command……"

Puro kept urging from the side, and his voice was like a rope tied tightly around Vasak's neck. As his tone became more urgent, the rope became tighter and tighter. He just felt that his whole body was about to suffocate to death. In his field of vision, All the objects seemed to be coated with a shiny outline, and he had to support himself on the table with both hands to prevent his legs from falling to the ground - then his road to power would really come to an end...

"What to do? What to do? What to do!"

He suddenly came to his senses: Is this what matters now?

I need to come up with a battle plan!

But is it still too late?

It was like I was distracted during an exam. I looked up at my watch. I still had ten seconds to hand in the paper. I looked at the test paper again... Well, the questions were done and the class name was also written down...

But there are no cards for multiple choice questions!

The best horror game of the year!

It's not that he didn't try to calm down and think about the problem, but as soon as he started, Prol shouted again:

"Command! The Herrscher reaction was found in the three seas southeast of Rota Island...it seems to have really bypassed Rota Island and headed straight for us!"

With a "boom", the last string in Vasak's mind broke. There was really only a thin line between the Herrscher and him. No, the slight distance in between was just a piece of paper to the Herrscher. It will break if you poke it!

Fear completely defeated his reason: "What else do you care about? Survival is the most important thing!"

He unconsciously raised his feet and wanted to escape, but he realized with depression that it was too late to run now.

At this moment, a calm and decisive female voice, speaking rapidly yet gentle, sounded in his ears, like the sound of nature:

"There should be an energy barrier on Agana Island, right?"

May looked at Karabis.

The latter was stunned for a moment and quickly glanced at his sister. After the other party nodded imperceptibly, he replied: "Yes, but it lacks the power equipment on large ships and can only operate at extremely low power." , it shouldn’t be of much use.”

Mei twitched the corner of her mouth, and it was hard not to feel that it was a sneer - no one here understood energy barriers better than her.

To be precise, everything Karabis said is true. Limited by the energy supply equipment, the energy barrier can only operate at extremely low power, which results in the barrier's low strength.

But the problem lies in "not high".

"Not high" is not a quantitative standard, but a floating and broad artificial definition - if you say the strength of the barrier is high, the Herrscher can easily break it, but if you say it is not high, the barrier The next tsunami or two can still be done.

Calabis said that just to leave some room for him to pass the blame in the future.

These are her teammates. Each of them is either thinking of something else, or they are ready to pass the blame to her...

Mei was no stranger to these dirty undersides. She was familiar with these games of power when she studied history—not in class, of course, but when she studied human history herself.

But when these methods were used on her by others, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"But... when disaster strikes, someone has to stand up... and I happen to be standing here... Since I am standing here..."

"Command! The sea level in nearby sea areas has begun to rise rapidly! It is expected that one-tenth of the land in Agana will be temporarily submerged by seawater within six hundred seconds!"

Puro reminded Vasak loudly at the side, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at Mei - this girl took over the position of Mebius, with great or small powers, and she seemed to be able to command completely. It made sense, and she was the only one to stand up.

Mei, who noticed this, no longer hesitated:

"Open the energy barrier immediately, move all ground personnel underground, and prepare for waterproofing and flooding."

Everyone focused their attention on Vasak again, but saw that he was stunned for another two seconds before shouting with a look of confusion on his face: "Just do what Dr. Mei said!"

The command room was busy again, with countless staff and staff shouting at the communications, but in fact they were dispatching ground personnel.

And since Vassago had implicitly confirmed her command authority, Mei was completely rude:

"Secure the heavy equipment that cannot be moved, try to ensure that it is not washed away, and then fill it with waterproof explosives!"

"Uh... Dr. Mei, we probably don't have enough time to fix all the heavy equipment..."

Although he didn't understand its intention, Napro still kindly reminded him.

"Ah... Then just fix as many heavy equipment as possible and fill them with explosives!"

In a few words, they completely bypassed Vasak, as if what they stood next to Mei Sheng was just a pile of air.

In this regard, Vasak's face was ashen, but he had no choice - in fact, from the moment he stood there and could not come up with a battle plan, it was destined that his authority would plummet.

Let alone Lezlen now, his prestige in the eyes of frontline soldiers is not even as good as that of Mei, a high school student. At least Mei can come up with countermeasures, but he cannot.

So he sighed heavily, sat down on the iron chair angrily, and said:

"Dr. Mei will take over the command next!"

As soon as these words came out, countless people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. They were trembling in their hearts, fearing that Vasak, who was previously depressed, would get into trouble with Mei, who was actually taking command.

Fortunately, this didn't happen.

The corners of Mei's mouth curled up and then smoothed down. She actually had no idea in her heart. How had she ever commanded a battle?

But she remembered that Kevin once said something like this when he was bragging to her:

"Hey! Mei, do you know? What is the most important quality of a general on the ancient battlefield?"

"have no idea."

"Hey! Don't be like this! Why don't you guess a few more words!"

"Well... even if I guess, I will only tell you the answer I think. But Kevin You obviously wants to tell me your answer, so why should I waste my time?"

"Uh... It seems reasonable! Then I just said it! The most important thing for a general is of course decision-making! The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. When the general needs to give an order, no matter whether the order he gives is good or bad, it will be far away. Far better than doing nothing.”

"Is it better than doing nothing..."

By the way, aren't the Moana Islands near the other end of the space rift that swallowed Kevin? Kevin...May trusts Mikael to protect him if they ever meet.

She didn't dare to think about other possibilities, such as why Mikael hadn't appeared yet even though the coordinates were pretty much the same.

If Mikael appeared here, he would be able to solve all this easily... She couldn't help but think so.

But then she dispelled this thought - humans cannot hide under the protection of one person forever, even humans themselves must have the power to defeat Honkai!

Otherwise...this will just be a desperate struggle after all.

Mei wrung her fingers and finally lost her last trace of hesitation:

"Pro, in the next time, according to the number I reported, you will notify the corresponding squadrons one by one to mount the corresponding fuel volume and bomb load to take off."
