The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

The explosions around gradually subsided. At that time, the armed forces under Cocolia in Haiyuan City chose to give up resistance under her order.

The adjutant who sent the order finally discovered the problem at the last moment, but it was too late. No one expected... Whether it was Cocolia's subordinates or the people on the Hyperion, no one thought that Cocolia would be caught in such a way that was almost like throwing herself into a trap.

In a sense, this dramatic ending is also worthy of her legendary story that she became one of the top leaders in the world in just a dozen years as a low-level officer with no background.

In any case, since the main culprit Cocolia has been arrested, her subordinates naturally have no need to resist stubbornly. After all, everyone is still wearing anti-entropy uniforms, and they are still human beings, whose ultimate goal is to fight against collapse. Fighting each other is like a farce.

Now, the farce has ended, and only a trace of reverberation remains in the center of the stage - this is of course just a metaphor. In fact, the "center of the stage" is now very quiet, so quiet that even the most dull people can feel the strong embarrassment from the picture. Theresa sat on the thigh of the lying tactical mecha, and took her thermos cup from the humanoid tactical mecha next to her, which was still steaming green liquid. Although freshly squeezed bitter melon juice tastes better, there is no such condition on the battlefield most of the time, so someone helped her develop this instant granule... hehe. The bitter taste spread in her mouth, but Theresa's mouth corners tilted slightly to the sides. However, when her face was slightly raised and her eyes fell from the smooth ground to Cocolia, her child-like facial features suddenly tangled together, and people who didn't know thought she could finally taste the taste of bitter melon juice. "What's wrong, Theresa, are you impatient to interrogate me?"

Cocolia smiled back at the first moment. There was nothing wrong with that smile from any angle, but it was a little creepy when it happened at this moment, and appeared on Cocolia who had obviously surrendered and was about to face the trial.

"Hey, Bronya, has Cocolia always been like this?"

"Hmm?"

Theresa gently nudged Bronya, who was sitting beside her, with her shoulder. The latter had lowered her head, and her legs that could not touch the ground were swinging back and forth. After being gently touched by Theresa, Bronya, who realized something belatedly, moved away from Theresa silently.

"Uh uh... bitter melon juice is not that bitter..."

Theresa whispered to defend herself, although this kind of words was more like fully showing her perversion than defense.

No! This is not the problem at all!

Theresa forced herself to raise her head and keep her eyes on Cocolia without flinching. She tilted her big head and repeated in a low voice:

"Bronya, does Cocolia always like to laugh so much?"

"I don't know."

Bronya replied perfunctorily at first, paused, and spoke again before Theresa could complain:

"I don't remember her laughing very often."

Theresa finally withdrew her gaze from Cocolia's face and covered her forehead with some annoyance.

Since Cocolia came to the Far East, the peaceful days of St. Freya Academy are gone forever. The two have fought hundreds of times over a span of more than three years, but this is the first time Theresa and Cocolia have truly "met".

However, although she is obviously the winner, she does not have much joy in her heart that a winner should have.

No, that kind of feeling undoubtedly existed, but it existed for too short a time and was soon covered by more negative anxiety.

If you ask a warrior what he wants most, it must be victory... No, it must be survival. Then it's the victory.

But if you ask what's the third, about half of the soldiers will choose this option - the usual training is so hard, and I hope to win as easily as possible.

However, when all this really happens, some heartless people will probably jump up and shout "good", and there will always be some people who will doubt this kind of victory.

Because it doesn't make sense.

As mentioned before, the first wish of most people in the war is to survive, and then it's the victory, but these two things are not contradictory in most of the time, but consistent. If you can survive without winning, then most of the wars in the world will no longer exist. This is why surrender becomes one of the most important rules of war, but surrender cannot guarantee survival 100%, and you can never decide what your enemy will do to you.

In other words, under normal circumstances, as long as a battle occurs, most people will persist until the moment when the chance of winning in their hearts completely disappears, and then they will consider the possibility of surrender.

In the situation just now, did Cocolia have no chance of winning at all?

Theresa muttered something under her breath, raised her head again, and bumped into Cocolia's smiling face.

She just stood silently among the mechas, without panic or anxiety, but she was obviously not calm... In other words, there was a deceit - this was what Cocolia wanted to do. The thought that flashed through Theresa's mind the first time she said the words "I surrender."

If identities were exchanged and places changed, Theresa would never choose to surrender.

The base of Haiyuan City has its own special characteristics. If one insists on holding on and setting up a defense line in the base, the Hyperion will not be able to launch strong fire support, and it will not have the opportunity to drag the mechas to the outer defense line to return reinforcements.

Even if you don’t want to take this risk, just break out with your cronies... Oh no, I used the wrong word. After the Second Herrscher destroyed most of the mechas in the battle at the Destiny Headquarters, the Hyperion didn’t have any That force has completed the blockade and siege of the Haiyuan City base. Cocolia can completely escape...

Not to mention, "throwing herself into a trap", her method of surrender itself is extremely explosive even among the options of surrender.

so……

"Ahem, Cocolia, stop being so pretentious. Just tell me what you want to do."

"Ha! I thought you could endure it longer. That's right, World Snake and Tianming are probably chasing you closely behind."

“Cut the nonsense, you’ve heard the slogan before—confession, leniency!”

Theresa's brows were raised. If this expression were placed on others, it might be very shocking, but if the person making the expression is a legal loli who is about to turn forty-five years old, then...

Will be very cute.

"Hahaha! Are you so anxious, Teresa? It's not that I can't accept it. After all, I am your prisoner of war now. I am under the roof. I can't resist whatever you want... But are you sure you want to do it now? Start? Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein haven't arrived yet, nor has Dr. May who boarded the Hyperion at Macau. Isn't it a bit wrong for you to start interrogating me in such a hurry?"

"How come this guy even knows Mei..."

Theresa was a little surprised, but it was not unimaginable. Nowadays, more than half of the Hyperion are members of the Anti-Entropy Headquarters. There is no guarantee that there is no "sand" from Cocolia among these people...

"Oh, by the way, how many old people from St. Freya are there on your Hyperion? I'm afraid the important positions are all occupied by those two doctors. Tsk, look at it, even the principal of your academy has personally The person taking the lead in the charge must be someone you trust very much, right? Is it Ji Zi? Her physical condition allows it..."

Although the tone was a question, coupled with the movement of Cocolia folding her hands and gently hooking her index finger on her chin, she exuded a determined attitude.

Theresa's cheek muscles twitched visibly, "Huh! Prisoners below, please stop stirring up trouble here!"

"I didn't say anything. I just described the reality. Did it hit your pain?"

Cocolia smiled and waved her hand, and Theresa looked at it and wanted to jump up and punch her. This kind of thing can be done completely, she is the former S-class Valkyrie of Destiny, and although Cocolia was once powerful, she was just an ordinary person after all, without the power to resist, and she was under the supervision of a tactical mecha...

But such thoughts were erased by Theresa just as soon as they arose. What does this mean? Teresa remembered for no reason what she had seen before, where certain Valkyries vented their anger on the bodies of the dying Honkaiju and Death Soldiers after the war.

As a commander, she has never stopped such behavior, but she also does not agree with it.

Moreover, because of the other party's words, she was the one who had her trust in the two anti-entropy doctors and Mei shaken at that moment, and she could not blame all the mistakes on Cocolia.

If you do this, you will be no different from those who are accustomed to shirking responsibility.

There is absolutely no need to be angry about this. The top priority is to find out Cocolia's "backhand" as soon as possible, otherwise it may be too late by the time the three doctors arrive...

It's just a little troublesome... Theresa patted her big head in frustration.

Verbal exchanges are not her strong point, and as for her IQ... She has been comparing herself to someone for a long time, and she is convinced that she is a fool. After all, if it were that person, most of the human beings in the world would be worse than fools compared to him...

Thinking about the questions she wanted to ask and the "traps" she had set in her mind, when she felt that everything was ready, Theresa had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Cocolia, who had been planning for a long time.

However, Cocolia did not target Theresa this time, but...

"Bronya, we haven't seen each other for almost three years, don't you even have a word to say?"

Theresa, who had already made up her mind to take it back no matter how Cocolia changed the subject, finally pressed her lips tightly together.

Once a person is involved in some kind of complex emotional whirlpool, his mind will become less bright, and some kind of flaw may be revealed - Theresa tried to convince herself. Of course, this is not unreasonable.

Bronya was silent for a moment, and then finally asked something that Cocolia probably didn't want to hear:

"Are Rosalia, Lilia, and Xing okay? After Xier and I left, are they... okay?"

The smile on Cocolia's face finally subsided, and the smile that was still there to symbolize "victory is guaranteed" disappeared in an instant. Her lips parted and her chin dropped, but no words came out of her almond-shaped mouth. There was just suffocating silence.

Bronya knew that this was definitely not what Cocolia wanted to hear. Perhaps because of this, she deliberately skipped the questions related to Cocolia itself.

At this moment, she looked at Cocolia without showing any signs of weakness. Cocolia was silent, and so was she. Maybe this confrontation was meaningless, but so what?

In this battle destined to be silent, the competition has never been about whose eyes are sharper, nor who can maintain silence longer.

After all, when Cocolia took the initiative to give the right to speak to Bronya, at least in the confrontation between her and Bronya, she had already lost half of the battle.

"They... are fine. I made up a reason for you and Xi'er to leave. Don't worry, I didn't tell them anything the children shouldn't know."

Unsurprisingly, Cocolia was defeated in the end and answered Bronya's questions honestly.

"Then...where are the three of them now?"

After a pause of seven or eight seconds, Bronya continued to ask.

Looking at those extremely indifferent silver eyes, she didn't know whether that look reminded her of someone or was just touched by something deeper in the eyes. This time she answered without much hesitation:

"Xing is still in the far east. After the collapse of Changkong City, I also completely took control of ME Club, so there is no reason to leave the other children in Siberia. Natasha is very busy, and Xing is relatively mature among children. I left all the matters in the orphanage to her.

"Rosalia and Lilia...some strange things happened to them. It can't be said to be purely bad. At least they have the ability to protect themselves now, so I took them with me..."

"Where are the people?"

Throwing away all the superficial embellishments, Bronya went straight to the essence of the problem.

"It should be in the Haiyuan City base. You should also know the personalities of those two children. I originally planned to ask them to greet you, but at the critical moment, no one could be found."

There was nothing wrong with Cocolia's answer. If I had to say it, she really looked like a mother who honestly explained the problem after her daughter discovered she had done something wrong.

But it was this overly submissive attitude that made Bronya feel extremely angry.

Theresa was keenly aware that something was wrong, but by the time she reacted and acted to stop him, Bronya had already rushed in front of Cocolia.

"With this attitude, do you want me to sympathize with you?"

Without giving Cocolia time to react, Bronya quickly turned her head:

"Principal, can Bronya leave for a while?"

Theresa pondered for a few breaths, knowing that no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to keep Bronya, and besides, she alone was enough to guard Cocolia, so she nodded readily.

But Bronya set her sights on Cocolia again.

"No, she must stay here!" (End of Chapter)
