Chapter 449 Don’t You Just Want to Pay More?
“Boom!”
The girl punched through the tactical mecha that was twice as tall as her. She held it with one hand and pulled out her fist. The mecha arrived in response. The girl looked around. At a glance, the whole beach was full of broken parts and wires flashing with lightning arcs.
“It’s too late.”
The girl muttered silently and pressed the communication beside her ear again:
“Alvette, you hold back the Anti-Entropy troops. Give me a combat airship. I will directly support New Zealand. Don’t let the Herrscher run away!”
“Don’t worry, Lord Yulandel. The Immortal Blade will complete the mission!”
Bianca Yulandel Atajina nodded slightly.
Before this, she had expected that she would be intercepted by Anti-Entropy when passing over America, but she didn’t expect that Anti-Entropy would dispatch so many troops.
This is not in line with common sense. Being in the destiny, the evaluation of Anti-Entropy that Yulandel can come into contact with will naturally not be good. "Hindering" and "making trouble" are relatively polite comments. But she thinks she is a person with her own opinions. The people of Destiny will naturally have biased comments on Anti-Entropy and cannot be fully trusted. But based on her own observations, no matter how Anti-Entropy opposes Destiny, their purpose is definitely not to help the Herrscher destroy the world.
On the contrary, since their leader is known as the first Herrscher to fight for humanity, then Anti-Entropy should be consistent with Destiny in major issues. As the only S-level Valkyrie of Destiny, her mission goal is to defeat the fourth Herrscher. What reason does Anti-Entropy have to stop it?
Is there something hidden in this matter that she doesn't understand? Yulandel knew that this was not the time to think about these things. She swept her eyes across the battlefield and quickly locked onto a Valkyrie combat airship that had made an emergency landing.
But she had just taken a step in that direction when a palpitation came over her. She stopped abruptly and retreated quickly.
"Swoosh--"
More than a dozen blood-colored arrows fell where she had stopped before, the tails of the arrows swayed, and the same blood-colored feathers floated up and down.
Yulandel looked intently to her left, where a large and heavy black robe stood. Only when the sea breeze blew the robe, and occasionally when it was wrapped around the body, it would outline some of the unique body curves of women.
"Hehe, finally someone who can talk has come."
Yulandel did not show her anxiety on her face. She rubbed her wrists, and her joints crackled. Since the other party intended to drag her, she would beat him first! She wanted to see, except for the anti-entropy leader who was the first Herrscher, who else could fight with her, the strongest Valkyrie of destiny!
But just as she was about to warm up again, the woman opposite suddenly threw away her bow and raised her hands neatly--
"Let's make it clear in advance, I surrender."
The black robe concealed the man's age, but judging from her voice, Yulandel felt that she was probably about the same age as herself, and her voice was quite nice. Of course, now is not the time to think about these messy things.
"What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything."
Raven shook his head in a bad way.
"Please, you are the strongest S-class Valkyrie of destiny, and I am just a mercenary who gets paid to do things. Doing things is a professional ethics, but there is no need to sacrifice my life."
Yulandel nodded, thinking that what she said made sense.
But then she suddenly woke up again, looking at the unclear woman with some doubt:
"Are you trying to delay time?"
"No, no, no, I'm not, I didn't, how dare I!"
"Didn't you talk about professional ethics before..."
"Oh, you mean that. It seems that as a Valkyrie, you still don't understand the survival rules of mercenaries. How should I put it? In our eyes, everything is a transaction. Cocolia just gave me that little money. I'll be worthy of her by shooting a volley of arrows to stop you for a few seconds. Is there a problem?"
Yulandel shook her head. No problem, no problem at all.
It's just that as a warrior, she can't stand this kind of behavior of treating battle as a transaction. This is trampling on the dignity of all Valkyries who voluntarily devote themselves to battle like her.
But... the situation is urgent, let her go this time.
"If that's the case, don't get in my way."
Yulandel glared at Raven, turned around and ran towards the airship, but she was careful and did not completely let down her guard behind her...
"Swoosh--"
The sound of breaking through the air sounded again, and Yulandel leaned to the side, and the blood-red feather arrow rubbed off a few of her hair.
"Ahem! Just a joke."
Raven threw away the bow in his hand again with some embarrassment.
"It seems that you still have a lot of professional ethics."
Yulandel smiled sarcastically.
Raven reacted quickly. The moment Yulandel laughed, she kicked the bow that fell at her feet away without hesitation or mercy, and then once again skillfully saluted the Valkyrie in front of her.
"I surrender!"
Yulandel's mouth twitched constantly. She strode towards Raven and twisted her fingers hard, but her face was still cold and stupid:
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Plop!"
Seeing that his erratic behavior seemed to really anger Yulandel, and seeing her approaching him quickly, Raven did not try to resist, but bent his knees and knelt down without any pressure.
While kneeling, he did not forget to shout loudly:
"Hey! This time I really surrender, you are not going to abuse the prisoners of war, are you?"
The corners of Youlandel's eyes twitched. How could she not know that the mercenary in front of her was just stalling for time? It's just that the other party's method is too... too... too shameless!
She didn't confront herself at all, and kept saying surrender. If she really believed it the first time, but it would never happen again. If she still believed it the second time... Could it be that she, Hollander, was a fool?
"call……"
She exhaled a slow, long breath.
"Okay, I believe you again."
Raven's eyes hidden under the hood blinked. She was already ready to use the escape technique of pressing under the box. Who expected that this "strongest Valkyrie" would really believe it?
Is she a nerd?
She remembered that before coming here, Cocolia had sworn to tell her a lot of truths about "a gentleman can be bullied"...
How should I put it, although in her eyes Cocolia is also a pitiful and deplorable fool, but maybe he really understands some human nature better than her, right?
Seeing Youlandel turning around cautiously again, although her steps were long, her head was tilted slightly, obviously she was not at ease with her.
"Tsk, you're not that stupid."
Raven shook her head regretfully, but she did not try to stop Hollander again. She knew from the beginning that this "little way" could only delay her for a moment, but could not really hold back Hollander.
There are only two ways to hold back Youlandel.
The stupid way is to fight with Youlandel. As long as she persists long enough, she can pester Youlandel so that she can't leave.
But why did she do that? She was just a monitor left by World Snake in Cocolia. When she met Gray Snake before, the other party also revealed to her that she would be transferred back to World Snake's headquarters...
Oh, no, she has broken away from the World Snake a long time ago. Now her relationship with Cocolia and the World Snake is nothing more than an employment relationship. Do you want her to dedicate her life to the interests of these people? That's not necessary, she has made an agreement with Bronya to buy an island and live a comfortable retirement life.
Besides, she didn't have much confidence in her abilities, and her damn teacher didn't teach her much. To be precise, that incredibly powerful man relied entirely on his physical fitness and power to fight, and it was impossible to teach her this. A skill that weak and pitiful ordinary people need when fighting. After laying some foundation for her, he threw her directly into the place called the Paradise of the Past.
When he thought of that place, Raven's eyes trembled, and then a very funny thought came to his mind - Dr. Mebius is really so gentle now...
Ahem, I thought too far.
In short, there is no way to get her Raven to fight Youlandel!
But there is a second method. Youlandel and the Immortal Blade can't fly. They also came in a combat airship. They were shot down and forced to land here. Then wouldn't it be enough to just let the combat airship be scrapped?
Seeing Youlandel's back getting further and further away, seeing her becoming more and more relaxed, a sarcastic smile appeared on the face under the raven's hood.
"Let me teach you, the strongest Valkyrie, how to use your brain when fighting."
Youlandel's footsteps stagnated. Even though she was in a battlefield with noisy gunfire, her superhuman hearing easily captured the raven's voice.
She turned around again, but Raven was still kneeling on the spot, making no movement.
She frowned, not knowing what the other party meant.
"boom!"
Okay, she gets it.
Turning her head, she saw that the combat airship she had been eyeing earlier had been blown into pieces flying around.
More gravel and soil were thrown into the air by the explosion, and accidentally fell towards her.
"Queen!"
A giant holding a shield appeared beside her, blocking everything for her.
Just as she was about to say something, she heard a series of explosions.
"So this is why you delayed your time?"
Youlandel slowly turned around and looked at the raven with a somewhat appreciative look.
But then she smiled contemptuously.
"You think you can stop me like this?"
The skirt under her waist suddenly sprayed out blue gamma particles, and her whole body rose into the sky, leaving only one sentence for the raven:
"Then let me teach you this mercenary - in the face of absolute strength, cleverness is just cleverness after all."
"Tch, someone has taught me this a long time ago."
Raven pouted, rubbed his knees, and stood up.
"Tsk, is this woman planning to fly directly from the west coast of South America to New Zealand using a gamma particle thruster?"
Cocolia's voice sounded in the communication in Raven's ear. Raven smacked his lips and did not respond. She only felt it was a pity——
I don’t know if her evil teacher is in New Zealand. If he is, I really want to see him fight with Hollander.
After coming back to his senses and listening to Cocolia chattering on the communication line, Raven sighed helplessly:
"Hey! This mission was too much. I was almost beaten to death by Youlandel..."
"Just brag, she didn't even touch you."
"She moved her feet and she moved her mouth."
"...Don't you just want to add more money?"
…………
"Is this the place where Honkai can finally break out?"
Rita carried the huge scythe behind her back and glanced around with alert eyes, but there was nothing around except scorched earth.
Communications have not been restored. It is somewhat difficult to determine the current location by comparing the map with the completely destroyed surrounding environment.
However, the ground is not empty.
Rita's eyes are still observing the surroundings. She slowly squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground.
She rubbed it with her fingers. There were some pink and purple crystal particles mixed in the broken soil.
"Can Honkai energy crystallize?"
Unlike the usual dim and cold, the crystal particles still have a trace of insignificant light, and the palm can also feel some warmth, which means that the crystal has been formed not long ago. In this way, it can be basically determined that this place is most likely the place where Honkai energy last erupted, and it is also the place where the Herrscher last appeared.
But unfortunately, there is no Herrscher here. In the absence of contact with the Hyperion, it is difficult to determine the Herrscher's movements.
However, Rita was not frustrated, but looked at Mikael with interest, but saw that the latter just stood quietly with his eyes closed.
"Huh?"
Even if you are confident, this is not the time to relax your vigilance, right?
"Mr. Mikael?"
Rita stood up with a frown and called Mikael's name softly, but the latter did not respond.
If she was not close enough to clearly feel his breathing and see the rise and fall of his chest, Rita would really think...
"Are you still not going to come out?"
Mikael's lips moved slightly, and his voice was so erratic that it was almost inaudible, especially in the whistling wind.
The development of things was not the same as the script he wrote.
He needed the fourth Herrscher, or more precisely, he needed the Desire Gem, and he needed to implant the Desire Gem into K423's body along with a large amount of Honkai Energy to awaken another consciousness in her body.
Of course, there was no need to make the plan complicated. In his script, there was no need to let the four girls have a bond with Wendy. It was enough for the Snow Lotus Team to find Wendy, bring her back, and then remove the Desire Gem from her body.
Everything that was happening now was obviously a story outside the script.
Could it be an accident? A coincidence?
No, it was impossible.
He has the power of wind. Although he doesn't use it often, he knows the power of this power.
With Wendy's compatibility with the Gem of Desire, she can't do this. If she could, she wouldn't be sitting in a wheelchair.
But that power is indeed the power of wind.
If it's not him, not Wendy, then there is only one possibility left - the fourth god key.
But isn't that something in the hands of the World Serpent?
Mikael chuckled softly, and everything became confusing and interesting.
Along with his chuckle, the wind on the ground seemed to be stronger, and for a moment, flying sand and rocks rose up, almost completely covering the sight.
And in the hazy wind, opposite Mikael, a somewhat strange and familiar girl gradually became clear.
