The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Reporting to Lady Rita, we have dived to 5,900 meters below the sea level. If we continue to move forward, we will reach the anti-entropy Haiyuan City base... As far as the current reconnaissance situation is concerned, nothing too much seems to have happened in Haiyuan City. Fierce fighting..."

"What's the specific situation? Where are the mechas deployed by Cocolia? Have they all been withdrawn into Haiyuan City?"

Rita frowned. Although the main members were all A-level Valkyries, the Snow Lotus Team was not the Immortal Blade formed by her and Hollander after all. They always liked to say redundant words when reporting problems.

"Uh... There is no energy response from the tactical mecha outside Haiyuan City. Half an hour after the Hyperion broke in, special means were used to block external energy detection, but this method cannot block the vibrations. The feedback from transmission and light, cameras and sonar is that the interior of Abyss City is extremely calm, the Hyperion is parked at the outermost layer of the base, and the turrets of the Hyperion and Abyss City base are inactive. , and no active tactical mecha can be seen within the visual range..."

"Heh... give me the intelligence summary and I'll see for myself."

Rita gave the Valkyrie in front of her a smile, so, even though her rationality told her that she seemed to be disliked, the Valkyrie still gave up the terminal in front of her to Rita with a trace of respect.

"Let the combat airship maneuver around Haiyuan City and reduce its dive speed before the next order is issued."

After giving some instructions, Rita began to look through the photos sent back by the reconnaissance robot.

"Well……"

Indeed, as the Valkyrie said before, all the turrets in the Haiyuan City base have been retracted into the protective cover. The rail guns on the Hyperion are all in the standby position, but there is no blue light that should be seen after power is turned on. .

The location where the Hyperion docked is also very interesting. Compared with the surrounding environment, less than two kilometers further forward is the airport built by the Haiyuan City Base for large warships, but the Hyperion happened to be parked on a hill. Judging from the docking posture and Hyperion's own condition, it doesn't look like it was shot down.

Looking closely, there are a large number of footprints around the sand dunes where the Hyperion docked. The footprints are relatively neat, and almost all of them are concentrated on a few linear routes...

Was Hyperion defeated by Cocolia, so Cocolia's men boarded Hyperion to disarm? But if this is the case, with the character of that woman from Cocolia, she will not give up at all, but will actively appear in front of them with unusual arrogance.

But if the loser is Cocolia, why doesn't the Hyperion park at the airport? There are complete maintenance equipment there. Anti-Entropy must also have accumulated a large amount of ammunition in the warehouse in advance, which can be used to replenish the consumption in previous battles. .

It’s really hard to understand...

Rita put her hands together gracefully in front of her body, and using the cover of the slipping sleeves, she gently pinched a bit of flesh on the back of her left hand with her right thumb and index finger, using this slight pain to stimulate the activity of the nerves.

How to put it...Rita knew very well that she always gave people the impression that she was as beautiful and tricky as a rose. Even her always elegant and respectful tone could sometimes be interpreted as "yin and yang". From this aspect, it seems that she should be very good at dealing with similar people.

In fact, this is indeed the case. If the screening scope is expanded to all Valkyries, she is definitely the leader in this way. However, in the final analysis, the Valkyrie is a tool to fight against Honkai. All the education she has received since joining the army has been just for fighting and defeating Honkai. To stand out among such a sample with completely different professions does not mean that she is very good at dealing with it. own compatriots.

Just like now, she only felt that these things were guiding her thoughts in twists and turns, and finally tied into an incomprehensible knot in her mind. She suddenly missed her partner. Although Bianca's behavior when performing tasks could be called reckless, her strength was always enough to offset the risks caused by recklessness, and Rita, who had worked with her for a long time, Everyone is starting to like this model.

That is to say, the Immortal Blade she formed with her own hands went to Skydome City with Bianca. Otherwise, Rita wouldn't have to think so much and just rush into Abyss City first.

The combat effectiveness of the Snow Lotus team is obviously not enough to support such a plan. As an S-class Valkyrie, she can escape unscathed, but she does not like to see her subordinates suffer too many casualties due to her decisions.

There is another thing that I have to guard against...

"Dr. Mebius, what do you think?"

Rita glanced sideways slightly, suppressing her suddenly rapid heartbeat and the hostility flashing in her eyes. If it weren't for the reflection on the screen, she wouldn't have even noticed the slightest sound when the green woman next to her moved.

Although they are still in the cooperation stage, Destiny and World Snake will turn against each other sooner or later. This can be seen from the attitudes of both parties before cooperation. Moreover, Destiny pursued the Hyperion because the other party had attacked the headquarters as Destiny rebels. The Herrscher of Thunder had fallen into the hands of the World Serpent. The Herrscher of Sky appeared in Skydome City. Rita did not understand that Abyss City had any influence on the World Serpent. What kind of attraction is there to actually interfere? Rita felt that Bishop Otto might know, but he did not tell her.

In this case, it is really unwise to trust the other party too much when cooperating.

Mebius seemed to know nothing about Rita's series of psychological activities. She just put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and silently looked at the many photos, images and data displayed on the screen.

After a short silence, Mebius suddenly spoke, and the unusually sticky voice made Rita mistakenly think that she had fallen into a cold swamp.

But the words she said were completely different from the voice, and even made Rita feel a sense of drama:

"If you just ask for my personal advice, I just want to say - retreat."

"Oh? Why is that? Or is Dr. Mebius just good at talking, but when it comes to facing a real battle, he is afraid?"

Rita still couldn't swallow the breath of the previous verbal confrontation. Although she looked as dignified and mature as a maid, she was still a girl after all.

Besides, Rita didn't know the truth about the chaos at the headquarters, but judging from the fact that the cooperation between Destiny and World Serpent broke down, Mikael was present as a party involved, and Bishop Otto even lost a soul steel body, the casualties of 37 Valkyries and thousands of ordinary soldiers were ultimately related to World Serpent - although, Bishop Otto seemed to be responsible for this...

"Haha."

Mebius responded with his usual sneer.

"You can think whatever you want, I'm just stating the facts."

"Humph!"

"Can't you see what's going on?"

"It's nothing more than one side between Hyperion and Cocolia winning, I can still see that."

Rita seemed to see the corner of Mebius' mouth twitch, and then the emerald green eyes quickly glanced at her, whispering mockingly:

"Then what? You didn't spend so much time thinking about which side is the winner?"

"Uh..."

"Whether Cocolia won or Hyperion won, what difference does it make? When we failed to bite Hyperion as planned, and let the battle on the side of Haiyuan City end early, retreat was the wisest choice for us."

Rita lowered her head, and when Mebius lightly stated this fact, she could accept it all.

Indeed, the headquarters had just suffered such a serious damage, and reconstruction would require a lot of manpower. The remaining resources were also tilted towards Tianqiong City. After all, there was a Herrscher there. Compared with them, an S-class Valkyrie with a Snow Lotus team was a rather chilling configuration.

Facing the complete defense line of Haiyuan City, with her strength as an S-class Valkyrie, plus Mobius, whose combat power was definitely not weaker than hers, it was not impossible to touch it, but what should the Snow Lotus team do?

However, if this was the case, wouldn't it be... Well, Rita had an urge to slap her brain, even though such an action seemed incompatible with a maid - didn't Dr. Mobius next to her do this?

Rita was easily suppressed by the other party on this issue, and of course she was in a bad mood, but now she could only solve the problem at hand.

"Bishop Otto did not give the order to retreat. As a Valkyrie, I naturally have to follow the Bishop's instructions."

"Tsk! So you can't make the decision..."

Mebius sneered and shook his head.

"Forget it, I don't want to go back in disgrace, but since we have to continue the mission, I have to ask you first - your Bishop Otto, will not hide in that dark corner and spy on all this, and then do something to harm others and benefit himself?"

Rita's cheek muscles twitched twice, and she quickly lowered her head to let her short hair cover it all.

"Bishop Otto wouldn't do such a thing..."

"Huh? I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words. You're an S-class Valkyrie, and you have access to a lot of information. You don't really think your Bishop Otto is a saint who appears once every five hundred years, do you? Or... you're not as smart as you look, and you can't even see the changes and modifications in the files that are visible to the naked eye?"

Rita smiled and shook her head. If you don't look closely, you shouldn't be able to see that her eye bags are unnaturally tight when she squinted.

She certainly knew what Mebius said, but the question is how did Mebius know? Especially the changes and modifications in the files, does this mean that she has even seen the files that can only be seen by S-class Valkyries?

Considering the other party's "identity", it is indeed not difficult to understand, but it is a bit unacceptable that the organization she is in has been infiltrated to such an extent for a long time. Forget it... Even if I know it, I can't change anything for the time being. Fortunately, the previous Valkyrie has left this compartment long ago, and Rita doesn't have to worry about these words being heard by others.

"Of course Bishop Otto won't do such a thing - I certainly want to guarantee that. But the will of a mere S-class Valkyrie may not be able to change the bishop's mind, right?"

"A mere S-class Valkyrie? Humph, a little interesting. Then let me ask it in a different way. Now that we have to formulate a battle plan, who do you and I listen to? Don't tell me nonsense like "discuss it together". Also, if your bishop suddenly drops some instructions, will you listen to him?"

"You want the power to command me?"

Rita's eyes suddenly became dangerous.

"How can it be so exaggerated? You promised me here that you would accept my command, but I dare not do so. After all, your bishop has a criminal record."

"So what do you mean... what do you want me to do?"

Hearing Rita's question, Mebius' lips could no longer be suppressed and raised:

"It's very simple. I propose a plan. If you can accept it, then follow this plan. But... I don't want to be interrupted by your bishop in the middle of the task."

"You can rest assured that I only obey the orders of the Bishop on whether to continue to carry out this mission. He will never interfere with the specific combat details, and I will not accept his remote control on such matters. command."

"Oh, who knows?"

Mebius shook his head in disbelief.

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current Haiyuan City is a huge trap. No matter who the winner is, she has created a self-contradictory illusion that makes people waste time in the unclear thinking process. But any Every tactic must find its corresponding solution, and the best way to deal with this little trick is to just attack it, regardless of anything else.”

"But……"

"I know what you are worried about. It is nothing more than fear of casualties and fear of not being able to escape unscathed. But this is not really a problem. Listen to my plan - I will first launch an attack from the east side of Haiyuan City close to the base. Cause a commotion, attract their attention, and then let you Valkyrie approach Hyperion. Then, we can each take what we need."

"Such a simple plan...are you sure it's really feasible?"

Even though she had complained about it probably a hundred and eighty times in her heart, Rita still expressed her doubts in the most elegant tone.

"Isn't it true that the simpler the tactics are, the more feasible they are? Anyway, I will attack first, so you have enough time to judge the situation, right?"

"Ah...I understand."

Rita nodded knowingly.

Now if we continue to perform the mission, it is a forced tower opening with no chance to create opportunities, and there is no need for any clever tactics. However, the most important point is that the two sides here do not trust each other at all. Rather than doing this, it is better to completely separate them, each fighting his own way, and still taking advantage of the tactical advantages of attacking in the east and attacking in the west.

only……

"This is obviously not good for you. Please be honest. What do you want from me...in exchange?" (End of Chapter)
