Lightning crackled around the dragon as the accompanying fleet of Hyperion and Anti-Entropy continued its charge toward the Schicksal Airport.
"External defenses breached"
"I'm on the computer" Tian Shi said in a low voice.
Having hacked the internal network once, Tian Shi was quite skilled at this.
"The defense mechanisms surrounding Schicksal Airport are now completely ineffective"
As the fleet gradually approached the airport, Reanna also saw the Valkyrie units and mechs that were on high alert at the airport due to the failure of their defenses.
"Cocolia, Seele, Bronya, Ann, Theresa, the five of you will lead the mechanical forces to suppress the airport"
"Yes!"
Cocolia left without hesitation, taking her three young daughters and Theresa with her.
At the same time, Anti-Entropy warships also began to deploy Titans, Venom Spiders, and other mechs at the airport.
"After all these years, Schicksal has also started researching mechs"
Reanna looked at the Schicksal headquarters in front of her and was filled with emotion.
"Compared to back then, Schicksal has truly changed a lot, but..."
However, it is likely that man still clings to his delusions.
Thinking of Otto, Reanna suddenly lost all interest in expressing her feelings.
"Ragna, prepare to lead the charge"
"Head to head, your opponents are the elite 'Immortal Blades' force that Schicksal has been building in recent years"
"Hey... I had heard about that before, an elite unit with all A-rank members, is that right?"
Ragna, whose entire body was wrapped in black mechanical armor, had a fighting spirit shining in her eyes.
The years of training in the Arctic have left no trace of hardship on Ragna's face.
On the contrary, they have made this maid-like Valkyrie appear even more mature and capable.
"Their captain and vice-captain are Bianca and Rita, right? I'm excited at the thought of fighting them"
"You're already thirty years old, captain, don't strain your back" Himeko joked from the side.
"Bah, there are still several years to go" Himeko's sarcasm made Ragna's face darken.
The last normal person of the original Valkyrie Stormtroopers has now also developed "leftover woman syndrome"
"But to be honest, Rita is fine, but Bianca..." Himeko thought about it carefully.
"Maybe she could pin you to the ground and beat you?"
"Saying that makes me even more excited"
Ragna's mind recalled the blonde girl, somewhat stubborn and direct from the orphanage years ago, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
"If I can't beat them, I'll just take off my mask"
"Instead of taking off your mask, you could just say Tian Shi's name" Himeko's comment made Ragna feel terrible.
"What does that mean?" Ragna's expression suddenly became strange.
"Don't tell me that Bianca and the Alliance Leader..."
"Halfway there?" Himeko said with uncertainty.
"After all, that girl is a bit clumsy"
"..."
"..."
Not only Ragna, but even Reanna gave a strange look to the computer in front of her.
"Lord of the Alliance, although I shouldn't say this, I must take the Doctors' feelings into account"
As a loyal knight and guardian of Anti-Entropy, this was the first time Reanna expressed her opinion on Tian Shi's romantic relationship.
Fortunately, Edison was not there, otherwise she probably would have lost control again.
Reanna didn't comment on Tian Shi's love life before because she felt that, as an old-fashioned person, she shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the young, even though her leader didn't seem to fall into the category of young people.
Secondly, she felt that her wisdom was less than a tenth or a twelfth of the Alliance Leader's, and that Tian Shi could definitely handle it without her saying anything.
But now... Even Reanna felt that things were getting a bit out of control.
Don't act as if meeting a young girl means she is related to you! She doesn't support Einstein x Tian like Joyce, nor Tesla x Tian like Welt Yang.
If you really want to say she is on Tian's side, she is. But lately, Reanna has had a subtle feeling that he seems a bit "unstable" .
"I may not have much to say about grand principles, but you should think about what will happen after you have a body"
Anti-Entropy will not allow Tian Shi to remain a ghost forever.
In about ten years, Reanna estimates that her "girls" will lose their patience and go completely crazy. By then, they will do whatever it takes to give Tian Shi a body.
By then... Reanna felt she could already see her leader reaping the consequences of his actions.
"Lord Alliance Leader, is the number of women associated with you now approaching double digits?"
"Well..." Tian Shi thought about it for a moment and felt there really were quite a few.
"In other words, once you have a body, you will need to satisfy at least two people a day"
Reanna was still diplomatic in her words.
In more than ten years, all these young women will be thirty years old, right? There is an old Chinese saying:
"Women are like wolves at thirty, tigers at forty, and can absorb the earth without moving at fifty"
And what about our seventy and eighty-year-old doctors? By then they will be nearly a hundred years old.
In a few years Planck will be 100 years old, won't she?
If they really went about it that way, Reanna thought that even if Tian Shi's prosthetic body were made of the best materials, it would probably still need to be replaced every three days...
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Reanna to think of Tian Shi's best interest.
"..." This statement is truly irrefutable, but why does it always evoke a feeling of sadness?
"And... excuse my intrusion, but is the other S-rank Valkyrie, Rita, something of yours?"
"Cough, cough"
Well, Reanna understood when she heard Tian Shi's awkward cough.
So Reanna fell silent.
"Well, since things are like this, why don't we try to kidnap both of them? It might be difficult with Rita, but I think Bianca is worth a try"
Ragna, feeling as if she had heard a dirty joke, made the suggestion after a brief silence.
However, Ragna placed special emphasis on Rita in her proposal.
It was not that Ragna lacked confidence in Rita, but rather that the Cleaners, those black gloves, were authentic machines for crushing conscience.
After working in that field for a long time, conscience and humanity faded away.
This kind of thing cannot be determined by so-called "confidence" .
"Hmm..."
Tian Shi thought for a moment, then shook his head and refused.
"Rita still suffers from amnesia, and if she doesn't leave, Bianca definitely won't leave either"
Tian Shi felt the two were like twin flowers; one of them would never abandon the other.
"I see, then I will continue fighting with my mask on" Ragna nodded.
Since there is no way to attract talent, there is no need to cause trouble for promising young women.
"But speaking of which, is it still impossible to communicate with Fu Hua and Bianca's communication devices?"
…
"Lady Fu Hua, how is the black tea? Do you like it?" Rita looked at Fu Hua with a smile.
"It's fine" Fu Hua nodded with some stiffness.
Things seem to be getting a bit complicated; she didn't expect Rita to appear here too.
Bianca is easy to fool, but Rita, the shrewd maid, is not.
"Speaking of which, where is Miss Durandal?"
"Lady Durandal has been ordered to eliminate the enemies at the port; unfortunately, as her maid, I cannot do the cleaning myself"
Rita took a sip of the black tea she had prepared herself and then looked at the screen beside her.
"I thought they would choose to hide under the protection of the Honkai Beasts... I guess..."
Rita's voice became softer and softer, and Fu Hua couldn't hear what she said at the end.
"Why are the two of us still sitting here?" Fu Hua asked in a low voice.
Her usually expressionless behavior made her seem less afraid than she thought.
"Because some little mice are sure to come in" Rita chuckled.
Although this formation is very intimidating, it is not enough to take the headquarters. At most, it can only temporarily suppress it.
The defense system is simply paralyzed, not completely destroyed.
"Perhaps, but what about troop strength? Isn't Schicksal's troop strength at a disadvantage?"
Fu Hua said indifferently.
"Exchanging mechs for Valkyries, Anti-Entropy might not make a profit, but it will never lose money"
"Miss Fu Hua, you are underestimating the Immortal Blades"
Rita smiled as she watched Durandal on the screen, wielding her lance and moving invincibly through the mechs.
"Is it just my imagination? Does Lady Durandal seem a bit distracted?" Rita hid her surprise behind a smile.
Even if she was distracted, those mechs were no match for Durandal, not to mention she had nearly a hundred members of the "Immortal Blades" squad with her.
But just then, the Hyperion in the sky dropped support from the drop hatch again.
But this time, it wasn't Titan mechs, but one after another humanoid beings covered in black armor and wielding greatswords.
However, despite its bulky armor, it didn't seem to affect its agility at all.
The swordsman at the head of the group clashed fiercely with Durandal, and for an instant, neither side managed to gain the upper hand.
Looking closer, Rita realized that the remaining dozen men in black armor, under the cover of nearby Titan mechs, were capable of taking on ten soldiers each.
"What the hell?"
This was the first time they had been defeated so brutally since forming the "Immortal Blades".
In the past, the "Immortal Blades" were always able to face ten opponents single-handedly.
This was the first time someone faced ten of its members single-handedly.
Rita was so surprised that she involuntarily stood up.
However, Rita saw Bianca's serious expression on the screen and was immediately relieved.
…
"Tsk... How did I not realize this girl had superhuman strength back then?"
Feeling the power emanating from her wrist, Ragna smiled from behind the mask.
The greatsword in her hand almost flew away.
"And was that a careless blow?"
Even if the Valkyrie armor on the other side has stronger amplification than the fake armor on me, it shouldn't be this outrageous, right?
Ragna looked at Bianca, whose serious behavior even affected her, and felt incredibly gratified.
"If this keeps up, it's very possible this girl will throw me to the ground and hit me..."
After years of training, Reanna has classified her as "S-Rank" .
However, according to Reanna, even S-rank Valkyries are divided into different levels.
Ragna is very self-aware.
Although she possesses great talent, she lost her prime and could only reach S-rank thanks to a renowned teacher like Reanna.
But Bianca... reached S-rank several years ago.
As Schicksal's former chief combat instructor, how could Ragna be unaware of Schicksal's educational standards?
Back then she was a true high-level executive, wasn't she?
After all, back then, there was only one S-class Valkyrie that no one had ever seen before, and below her were the A-class Valkyries.
Furthermore, as chief combat instructor, Ragna was half a rank above the other A-class Valkyries.
That was why Ragna could better understand Bianca's extraordinary talent.
Ragna was somewhat resentful that Himeko had not been decisive and had not tied Bianca under her wing back then.
If Reanna had trained her for six years...
Ragna cleared her mind and silently adjusted her posture, preparing to face Bianca's serious second round.
However... Bianca, when she got serious, lost her temper again.
Because Bianca discovered something very important.
"Didn't they come to rescue Kiana? Then why don't they go rescue her?"
Although the man in black armor in front of her aroused her fighting spirit, it was completely insignificant before Kiana.
She wasn't a battle maniac, and her opponent was quite strong, not some road weakling.
Although if things get serious, ten rounds can probably decide life or death, is that really necessary?
Not at all. However, given her status, she couldn't afford to lose...
Bianca looked at her teammates, who were outnumbered but were still being suppressed, and immediately understood what she had to do.
In Bianca's hands, the huge lance danced like a butterfly, crossing the battlefield and balancing the situation between the two sides.
At that moment, Bianca mastered the ability to "relax" without any instruction.
…
"This unit is very strong" Fu Hua spoke to calm the awkward situation.
She immediately recognized her as Ragna. Unfortunately, neither Rita nor Bianca had ever trained with Ragna, otherwise they would have recognized her much sooner.
After all, the Valkyrie Assault Team's fighting style was quite distinctive in Fu Hua's memory.
"Hmm... wait a minute, if Durandal didn't fight Ragna, then why did she suddenly hold back?"
Fu Hua's eye began to twitch, remembering Himeko's substitution, Durandal dressed as a high school girl, and her teacher's strange popularity among women...
Fu Hua reached an unacceptable conclusion.
No, seriously? It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?
However, Fu Hua is also something of an intuitionist.
When this possibility comes to mind, it means it is probably true.
Fu Hua silently rubbed her forehead.
Well, both are the type of people who don't talk to strangers unless absolutely necessary.
Thinking about it, it seems there really wasn't much communication between the two of them.
What kind of nonsense is this?!
If such a thing happened, Fu Hua felt she wouldn't even have the face to see Master Tian!
So... is it too late to knock Rita unconscious now?
Oh, wait a minute, what if Rita also has a connection to Master Tian?
Would you like me to continue with the next chapter?
