Chapter 504 I Am Tired, Let's Destroy It
"Lord Cocolia, the Hyperion has broken through the last line of defense and is rapidly approaching the outer barrier of Haiyuan City! Their speed is too fast, and the mecha's maneuverability in the sea water can't keep up. Damn, why can their warships dive so fast... It's coming!"
In the war room, Cocolia retracted her gaze from the radar screen and cast it in the corresponding direction through the 360-degree surrounding glass. The seabed was originally just pitch black. Even if Haiyuan City, which was operated by anti-entropy, had an extremely complete lighting system, it only illuminated a range of less than 500 meters outside the barrier. Further away, there was a void deeper than the night.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
She counted silently in her heart. Before she counted to "six", she saw a blue like a meteor in the darkness.
There was no time to appreciate it. The bow of the Hyperion, which was like a sword tip, broke through the darkness of the seabed and appeared in Cocolia's sight.
During the pre-war deployment, she went against all odds and chose to deploy 90% of the mecha troops to the three outer defense lines of Haiyuan City. Now it seems that this was a wrong decision. The sea water will limit the mobility and firepower of both sides - it should be so. But the Moonlight Throne allowed Hyperion to break through the shackles of mobility. As for firepower... Hyperion did not fire at all along the way, and only relied on speed to forcefully break through the defense lines she deployed...
Now the only hope is that the Hyperion must stop, charge the main gun, and then blast open the last Honkai energy barrier of Haiyuan City. If the charging time is a little longer, it will give the mechas in the anti-entropy outer defense line time to return to the rescue...
"Boom!"
The sudden vibration almost made Cocolia bite off her tongue. The huge ship was just like its shape, directly piercing the Honkai barrier of Haiyuan City like a thin plastic wrap - it can withstand the water pressure of six kilometers below the sea level for a long time. The Honkai barrier of Haiyuan City is naturally not "thin", but it was easily torn apart by the Hyperion...
The seawater and the huge warships poured into Haiyuan City together. Even though the barrier was "healing" quickly, it seemed that it was going to jam the Hyperion, but it was still a step slower. The good news is that at least the influx of seawater was blocked, and everyone didn't have to worry about drowning in the short term.
"Lord Cocolia, Haiyuan City should be undefendable. Let's... evacuate first?"
The adjutant looked at Cocolia in panic, but he could not see the slightest panic on her face. He even saw a smile at the corner of her mouth... Could it be that Lord Cocolia had a backup plan?
"Why panic?"
Cocolia's tone was even relaxed.
"Let's go. It's been a long time since we last met the two doctors. It's a bit unreasonable to just slip away without saying hello, right?"
Ignoring the noisy crowd in the war room, she simply turned around and walked outside.
Others can be chaotic, but the adjutant and the guards can only choose to follow. If you insist, they are all candidates who have just been promoted to replace the legendary Raven in the mercenary world who suddenly resigned not long ago. Although Cocolia will naturally prefer candidates who are more loyal to her when selecting people, without long-term following as a prerequisite, these people are no different from those who are already in a mess and want to escape but dare not escape. The reason why they are still in a hurry to catch up is, on the one hand, professional inertia, and on the other hand, Cocolia really shows an attitude of "everything is under control".
The stocks full of green screens are all locked up by people who are unwilling to let go, looking forward to the day of recovery, not to mention Cocolia now. Haiyuan City is not her base camp. As long as she is not captured alive by the two anti-entropy doctors on the Hyperion, then she will only suffer a small loss. They have been here for more than a month. If the two doctors came with the purpose of finding the leader... then it is just a waste of time.
However, everyone was not completely confident. Several people followed Cocolia and looked at each other carefully. In the end, it was the newly promoted adjutant who spoke for everyone, but she did not ask directly:
"Lord Cocolia had deployed all the mecha troops to the outer defense line against all odds. Everyone was still muttering in their hearts. Now it seems that Lord Cocolia must have prepared a trap in Haiyuan City a long time ago, right?"
Cocolia did not pause for a moment, but just turned her face slightly. The corner of her eye did not even glance at the adjutant, and then she retracted it.
She reprimanded lightly:
"Hehe, when Natasha was doing the work of a group of you alone, she would not be so talkative!"
"..."
The large group of people following Cocolia fell silent instantly. Not only was the sound of breathing suppressed to almost nothing, but even the sound of footsteps was the same.
Everyone knew that Kokolia was not a good-tempered person, and she was not satisfied with their work recently. As she said just now, from the adjutant to the guard, Natasha was responsible for the work in the past, but now there are more people and it becomes noisy.
However, as if she realized that her words were hurtful, Kokolia waved her hand without looking back and added:
"Okay, don't say anything meaningless. Let's go, this may be the last time I meet those two doctors."
After these words came out, the people following behind him were not excited, but became more silent.
"Lord Cocolia, after all, those two doctors are also symbols of anti-entropy. Isn't this... not good?"
"hehe."
Without any clear words in response, Cocolia just sneered and turned back, as if looking for the person who had just spoken.
"Say one more thing...hum!"
Deliberately leaving some suspense, Cocolia quickened her pace.
The adjutant and the guards behind him looked at each other. They didn't feel offended by Cocolia's attitude. In other words, they felt it but were actively ignored. In the end, they became more and more confident in her.
Cocolia knew that the people behind her would be wrong, but so what, wasn't this the result she wanted?
It is extremely unwise to deploy most of the mechas on the outer defense line, even excluding the Hyperion's sudden change in dive speed. After all, the formulation of tactics itself must leave room to deal with "variables", and deploying almost all tactical mechas to intercept in an underwater world that is not actually suitable for mecha combat is a fool's errand.
But what if Cocolia did it on purpose?
There is no way, this is the mission of World Snake. It is the last order Natasha conveyed when she submitted her resignation to World Snake and Anti-Entropy at the same time. The order was extremely general. In short, there was only one sentence, that is, to She abandoned Abyss City and let the two doctors from the Hyperion and Anti-Entropy take over, and then...
It’s a really troublesome order, but this may indeed be the last time she meets the two doctors of Anti-Entropy, at least until Honkai is resolved. After this incident, she will be taken away and imprisoned by Anti-Entropy. , but the World Snake will issue an extradition application to Anti-Entropy and does not rule out the possibility of using force. Then she will be placed in a safe place until the world is destroyed or the world is saved. This is the World Snake's promise to her, some kind of In a sense, she did not deceive her subordinates.
Isn't it?
"Du-du-du--"
The red light kept flashing, so that the original black-gray color of the metal could no longer be seen on the armor wall next to the delivery port. The pile of dark purple-painted mechas in front of Bronya was also reflected into a crimson color like dusk. .
"You actually bumped in like that. Your colleague Mei... is really a lunatic."
Leaning against the hard and cold armored wall, with her right hand touching her tailbone that hurt from the bump just now, Bronya observed the external situation of Hyperion through the projection on her left arm.
It's not that she is nosy. Nowadays, the "human" combat power that the Hyperion can deliver is scarce. None of the remaining Valkyrie trainees have the ability to go to the front line. Himeko is prohibited from participating in combat. The physical condition of the remaining Valkyrie instructors is They are all similar to Ji Zi, so she The only active B-class Valkyrie on the Hyperion has unexpectedly become the captain of a mixed combat team. Because the battle is carried out in a hurry, as the captain, she needs to observe the external situation at any time and decide on the appropriate investment by herself. Send location. In terms of combat responsibilities alone, he is on par with Theresa, the principal in charge of the other route...
Although she felt that...the perverse-looking woman beside her was more suitable than herself. Regardless of seniority or combat effectiveness - after all, he has lived from Mikael's time to now, so his brains and combat effectiveness must be at least the same, right?
The woman standing directly opposite her was fiddling with an exaggerated top hat in boredom. Of course, her appearance was also extremely strange. Her hair was divided by a line in the middle. One side was bright blond, and the other side was gray-green. Her dark golden color can be seen more clearly the more she is in a bright place. Like now, the red light above her head perfectly conceals the difference between her and normal people.
Hearing Bronya's voice, Velvet yawned exaggeratedly. She gently covered her mouth with her left hand, stretched her right hand high, and stretched her whole body. There was no urgency at all before the battle.
"Oh, you and Mei haven't been together for long, right? You can actually see through her essence at a glance? You know, those people's evaluation of Mei at the beginning was that the most normal one among 'us' was said to be 'the only normal person' 'It's not an exaggeration. The only ones you have come into contact with are Mikael, Hua and Mebius. I heard that Mebius is much gentler than before. Yes, people will still change. Mikael and Hua Ni are both normal people on the surface. Ah, the same is true for Mei, but it's just a little deeper than the two of them. In short, you. To be able to see this clearly in such a short period of time, should I say that Mei has become crazier than before, or is your insight too sharp? "
"Let's not talk about anything else. I think you are very talkative."
"To be honest, you're not very good at chatting. You see, I'm praising you and criticizing Mei on the same front as you, but you just said this to me? It's a bit merciless. Bar?"
"..."
"Hahaha! I know what you are thinking. I am not the boring type like Mikael and Hua. I have been alone for 50,000 years. Please be considerate of me!"
Velvet's laughter continued to echo in the long and narrow delivery port, but it was faintly overwhelming the red warning light. But Bronya felt a sense of violation. The air was constantly vibrating, but this vibration transmission was blocked by the heavy metal that made up the mecha and armor. Perhaps this was the source of the sense of violation——
"You are different from Mikael and the squad leader. You don't feel like a warrior to me..."
Bronya stared at the screen and looked for a suitable place to drop, while complaining mercilessly.
"I'm not! Have you forgotten who modified the Moonlight Throne engine? And the moment you broke through the Honkai barrier just now, if I hadn't upgraded your shield system, do you think that the Hyperion, a junker, could break through the Honkai barrier? I'm just an ordinary engineer, but I'm outstanding in some aspects..."
"Isn't what you said contradictory... And what's the point about you being ordinary..."
Bronya pouted and retracted her drifting gaze. Of course, she didn't say the second half of the sentence, but just silently recited it in her heart.
Suddenly, she frowned, clenched her right fist, and smashed the huge button on the side--
"Ding!"
The blood-red light suddenly turned green, making the whole claustrophobic space look like an old night vision device, but with the change of light, the hatch at the end of the launch port also quickly flipped down.
The green light flashed, and the sound of the hatch flipping into place was buried by the sound of the mecha starting up from sleep mode, but this could not escape the eyes of Bronya who was always paying attention to this scene.
"Bang!"
She hit another button again, and the track blockers under the mechas were unlocked one by one at intervals of one second. Hundreds of mechas were thrown to the weak point of the ground defense line of Haiyuan City in just two minutes.
"Since I am the captain, you'd better catch up quickly."
Finally, Bronya gave Velvet an order, and slammed her back against the armored wall behind her, and jumped forward with the reaction force. Seeing that she was about to pass by the last mecha, she quickly stretched out her arm and grabbed the small handle on the shoulder of the mecha, swayed in the air, and then rode firmly on the head of the three-meter-high mecha.
"Alas... young people nowadays are really energetic."
Velvet put on her hat elegantly, but did not jump down immediately as Bronya asked, but turned her head to look at the darkness deeper in the delivery cabin.
…………
“Huh…”
A ray of light appeared at the end of the long passage. Judging from the distance, it would only take a few steps to reach the outside of the Haiyuan City base. Kokolia also breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, it was the end of everything, at least for her, it was the end of everything.
She had ambitions in the past, and even a subordinate flattered her and called her "Little Otto". Although she directly fired that person, she was extremely happy in her heart. To be honest, it was too dramatic for such an ambitious person to fall into voluntary withdrawal.
But people will change over time.
Before she became an ambitious person in Siberia, she was also a soldier who hated evil, was upright and inflexible, and punished a superior officer involved in smuggling arms... Speaking of which, her life was changed by that incident. Thanks to Colonel Alexei, she was framed and put in solitary confinement. If not, she would have died in the second collapse...
Coincidentally, Alexei's daughter eventually became her adopted daughter... This time, I have a chance to see her again briefly.
She was really tired. After being forced to join the World Serpent, she actively and passively came into contact with too much information about the previous civilization, so she was tired and her ambitions dissipated.
What the hell, everything that happened in this era is not the fate defined by those people in the previous era? In the established storyline, if she, Kokolia, doesn't want to die, she can just play her role honestly.
Uh... I'm tired, so let it be, it's not bad to have a decent ending.
Stepping into the light, Kokolia saw black spots hitting the ground one by one.
