After learning the exact composition of Bronya's army, it wasn't just the others who felt a headache coming on—even Jing Yuan couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye.
You're this strong and you didn't say a word earlier?
At least give him a heads-up so he could adjust his strategy.
He'd already worked out several tactical plans before this, but now, thanks to Bronya's absurd showing, all of them had to be scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up.
That said, Jing Yuan wasn't annoyed.
If Bronya was this strong, then it simply meant his final strategy could be made even more complete.
[Bronya]: By the way, where are you all right now? I have two Red Dragons I can't take with me anymore. Do any of you want them?
After accepting troops from several neutral groups, Bronya's command limit had already been reached.
She had no choice but to discard the Red Dragons.
They were Tier-7 units—giving them to others would be a massive boost in combat power.
Unfortunately, markets only allowed the trade of resources, not creatures, so she could only ask through the team channel.
The moment she said that, the other players collectively broke down.
What kind of household do you live in?!
You're just casually giving away Tier-7 units?!
[Seele]: I—I—I want them!
[Sampo]: Me! I'm Underground. If you give them to me, I can even upgrade them into Black Dragons later.
[Seele]: Do you even have a Black Dragon dwelling?
[Sampo]: I can build it later…
[Seele]: Cut it out. Bronya's Red Dragons are definitely mine.
[Bronya]: I'm slightly to the right of the central area of the map. Come quickly—I just found a group of Unicorns. They might surrender.
[Herta]: ...…
[Sunday]: ...…
[Welt]: ...…
There was simply no arguing with this anymore.
[Aventurine]: Everyone—if you see Diplomacy during level-ups, learn it. Even if you don't have Leadership, it's fine. Later, we can hand our troops over to Miss Bronya for the final battle.
[Jade]: A sound plan. I agree.
[Topaz]: No objections here.
[Boothill]: Heh… feels a little unfair somehow.
Everyone else was still struggling just to get their hands on Tier-7 units, while Bronya not only had them—she didn't even want them anymore.
It was hard to know what to say.
[Jing Yuan]: No. The final army shouldn't be handed to Bronya. We need someone whose skills are fully combat-oriented.
Jing Yuan voiced a different opinion.
Bronya had already used up one precious skill slot on Diplomacy.
In the final decisive battle, that meant her overall combat effectiveness would be slightly reduced.
After all, Diplomacy brought troops, but once the two sides were locked into a head-on clash, it provided no direct combat bonuses.
[Feixiao]: Leave it to me. My specialty is Offense, and I've learned Leadership as well.
[Jing Yuan]: Oh? General Feixiao—would you mind sharing your other skills?
[Feixiao]: Advanced Offense, Advanced Defense, Intermediate Wisdom, Basic Luck, Basic Leadership.
[Feixiao]: That's five for now. I'll see about the remaining three later.
Seeing Feixiao's skill set, many players' eyes widened.
This was taking physical combat to the absolute extreme.
No magic at all?
[Jing Yuan]: Then we'll rely on General Feixiao. Miss Bronya, what do you think?
[Bronya]: I agree. But I suggest that General Feixiao consider learning elemental magic later—especially Earth and Air. Those two schools are extremely versatile.
[Feixiao]: No need. I've got this instead. Anti-Magic Orb.jpg
[Yunli]: Anti-Magic Orb? What's that?
[Yanqing]: During battle, neither side can use magic.
[Lingsha]: …That really is a perfect artifact for General Feixiao.
[Luocha]: Then it's settled. I don't see how the other side can win.
[Silver Wolf]: Yeah. I honestly can't find a losing scenario.
Just imagining the final battle—
Feixiao, stacked with pure combat skills, commanding the massive army Bronya had recruited—
Every Honkai-side player felt the same thing.
This is locked in.
There was simply no way to lose.
"Hah… I'm jealous. I want skills like that too."
Star stared at Bronya's army with unconcealed envy.
Unfortunately, her own skill set just wasn't cutting it. In the end, she could only play a supporting role.
"Well then, everyone—time for us to work harder too."
Star raised a hand and rallied her teammates.
"Let's head forward and see if we can take out a few Teyvat players.
If we play a whole game and don't eliminate a single person, that'd feel pretty lame."
Thankfully, luck was on their side.
The Astral Express crew had spawned close to one another and had already regrouped.
Now that they were together, how could they not cause some trouble?
"Paimon, watch closely! I'll cut this monster down in one strike!"
A crisp, familiar voice rang out nearby.
Star turned her head—
And sure enough, it was Hu Tao, with Paimon floating beside her.
"Hehehe… looks like we've found our targets."
Star glanced back at her teammates and waved her hand.
Today, Hu Tao and Paimon are the opening act.
Against Hu Tao, Star felt no pressure at all.
They had five people on their side—
there was no way Hu Tao could turn the tables on them.
She refused to believe Hu Tao could be another Bronya.
As for Paimon?
That wasn't even worth considering. With her combat power, she could be ignored entirely.
Without hesitation, Star spurred her mount forward, charging straight toward Hu Tao.
On the other side, Hu Tao had just been about to show Paimon a flashy "Gale-Cutting Slash" when she spotted a massive cloud of dust rolling in from the side—
like an entire army charging toward her.
"Paimon, hide first."
After giving a quick instruction, Hu Tao turned her horse around to face the incoming enemies.
Before setting out, Zhongli had specifically told her to protect Paimon.
That little floating creature carried an extremely important role.
She absolutely could not be eliminated at this stage.
