Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

Bai Yan frowned; he had never tested the effect of "One Sword Startles the Swallow" on an individual like the Gray Serpent.

But now was not the time to hesitate. Hearing Rita say that, he turned and headed straight for the gray snake.

The mechs had thermal imagers, rendering optical stealth ineffective, so Bai Yan had no choice but to rely on brute force to kill some of the mechs.

Just then, Gray Serpent analyzed Rita's condition and immediately dispatched Death Weaver.

This weapon is modeled after a spider and is specifically designed to counter Valkyries.

There were six Death Weavers in total. They immediately surrounded Rita, but did not engage in a decisive battle right away. Instead, they circled around her to keep her occupied.

After several exchanges, Rita's condition, which was already not yet fully healed, worsened.

She gritted her teeth and searched for her opponent's weakness with unwavering determination.

Finally, in a moment when the opponent suddenly changed tactics, Rita seized the opportunity and took down two Death Weavers in succession.

The remaining four units suddenly switched from defense to offense, attacking from four directions.

Rita ignored everything else and only attacked the one in front of her.

She had made all the necessary mental preparations.

But the next moment.

bump!

bump!

Two heavy mechanical arms flew over and struck the Death Weaver on the head.

The two mechs on the left and right momentarily shifted their direction, passing behind Rita. They immediately turned around and prepared again.

The machine behind them seemed to be frozen in place.

At that moment, Bai Yan struck with his sword.

The head flew off, and then the human body on the machine was completely sheared off, causing it to completely shut down.

Bai Yan used the power of wind to propel himself forward, moving at incredible speed. After slaying one, he immediately rushed to the next, repeating the same method on all the remaining Death Weavers.

Rita turned around and saw a mess on the ground, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, the gray snake's head, which Bai Yan had cut off earlier, spoke.

"That's quite a haul... But have you really figured out our purpose?"

"Have you ever wondered where the Herrscher of Thunder and K423 are right now?"

Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions changed drastically.

Bai Yan quickly feigned a serious and puzzled expression, just as Rita quietly glanced at him.

Seeing Bai Yan's reaction, the latter turned to stare at the gray snake's head: "What do you mean by that?"

"Hehe." The gray snake remained silent.

Bai Yan said, "It's misleading us."

"If we listen to it now and try to stop its so-called real objective, we will miss the opportunity to support and unleash Bianca's fighting power."

"Instead, let's help Bianca get out of trouble first. The combined strength of the three of us is far greater than that of each of us fighting alone."

As Bai Yanyue spoke, Rita's expression calmed down, and she finally looked at him with a mixture of gratitude and appreciation.

"I was too hasty... but Mr. Gray Serpent's information is indeed amazing."

"Hehe, you are not to be outdone, especially this young lady. She is so calm in this situation. It is a maturity that does not match her appearance."

"So, why were you sent here by Schicksal along with the Herrscher of Thunder and the others?"

Bai Yan waved his hand impatiently and said, "This is a completely unoriginal attempt to sow discord. Let's switch to artificial means."

"Haha, even so, I still want to express my goodwill to you. World Snake is always welcome."

Click!

Bai Yan walked over, stomped on the head until it was crushed, and turned to Rita, saying, "Take a break."

Rita shook her head: "I'm fine, let's continue."

Bai Yan had no choice but to follow along.

the other side.

Kiana smashed a tank-class Honkai Beast, then turned to Mei and said, "This area is cleared! Mei, are you connected?"

"not yet!"

Mei sat in the pilot's seat of a mecha, trying her best to communicate as quickly as possible, but all in vain.

The moment the mech was captured, its communication system was completely destroyed, making it impossible to contact anyone.

Bronya and Bai Yan haven't returned since they went out, and no one is at the agreed meeting point.

Raiden Mei finally gave up on repairing the communications, picked up her katana, and rushed to Kiana's side.

"Kiana, let's go to the evacuation point first. Maybe the Valkyrie squad stationed nearby has already come to our aid."

"But Xiaoyan and the others are missing. How can we just abandon them like this?"

"If we stay any longer, the World Serpent's forces will arrive sooner or later to surround this place, and then we won't be safe. We should try to get reinforcements first."

Kiana hesitated for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "Mei, you go ahead. I'll stay here and hide until you bring people back."

"Kiana!"

"Don't say anything, Mei, just go ahead. I'll be fine. I'm very good at infiltration and stuff," Kiana said, patting her chest.

"I……"

Raiden Mei tried to pull Kiana, but found that the other was very determined and wouldn't move.

She felt a little sad, but reason told her that if she didn't leave quickly, everyone would die.

So Raiden Mei left all the supplies behind, keeping only a katana and a basic amount of ammunition for herself.

"There are still two mechs that are intact and can be used for transportation. If you have to do something, remember to use them. I'm going to get reinforcements right now. Kiana, don't wander off!"

"Don't worry, go quickly!"

Raiden Mei looked back several times, only to see her best friend wave and then disappear into the ruins.

When she couldn't find her at all, Kiana suddenly jumped out and waved goodbye again.

Mei knew this was a demonstration to put her mind at ease, so she quickly turned and left.

Seeing her leave, Kiana went back into hiding.

The city was in chaos, but the number of Honkai Beasts was relatively limited and some had been dealt with, so people still had room to maneuver.

Not long after, a group of Valkyries descended from the sky and immediately began to suppress the Honkai.

Kiana secretly moved closer and discovered that one of the people inside was someone she had seen before.

Anna Shaniat was present at the last match.

After the unexpected incident caused by World Snake, the martial arts competition was temporarily suspended, and all branches went on high alert.

Anna was temporarily reassigned to the team and resumed her duties as the area's security officer.

"The Snow Lotus Squad?"

As soon as the Valkyrie arrived, the Honkai Beasts collapsed like harvested wheat.

The fierce firepower and sharp assaults demonstrate the strength of this unit.

however.

A gigantic Honkai Beast suddenly emerged from the darkness and immediately launched a charge.

With its strong limbs and hard horns, its mere appearance caused the Snow Lotus Squad to drop their fighting gear and retreat desperately.

Emperor-level!

Without the S-rank Valkyrie, all the members of the Snow Lotus Squad present would have been in mortal danger!

Kiana's eyes flashed with flames as she saw the Emperor-class destroyer smash a building, burying crowds of residents beneath it.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

She pounded the stone slab with all her might, her eyes bloodshot.

wait.

Save people.

wait!

Save people!

Save people! Save people! Save people!

Kiana turned her head and ripped off the camouflage branches, jumped into a pit, activated her mech, and then charged towards the Emperor-class.

The mech was firing at full power, but it was like a tickle to the Emperor-class mech; it didn't even want to turn around and look at it.

Kiana piloted her mecha at full speed, and just as it reached its limit—

Ejection seat!

She separated from the mech, which, carrying all its weapons, crashed into the Emperor-class mech. At the moment of impact, the entire armory exploded.

Boom!

The Emperor-level creature was finally affected, its body trembled slightly, and it immediately turned its head towards Kiana.

Upon seeing this, the latter immediately started running, taunting as he ran, regardless of whether Honkai could understand him or not.

With the pressure on the Snow Lotus Squad greatly reduced, they regrouped and found her. They then deployed their formation and began a containment tactic around the Emperor-class.

If we can't defeat them, we can lure them away to reduce civilian casualties.

For a time, the emperor-level forces were temporarily restrained.

In the city center, on the rooftop of a building.

The jackal, wearing a mask, looked down at everything from its high vantage point, making no move, as if it had stood there forever.

"Everything is ready. What about Yu Tu?"

The jackal didn't look at the newcomer and said calmly, "He's holding off Durandal."

"That S-rank is in very poor condition and has suffered considerable injuries. Another one is right next to her. I judge that they have the ability to cause trouble."

"It's alright, everything is within the calculations. Otto thought he had more than enough backup plans, but little did he know he miscalculated the most crucial point," the jackal said confidently.

"It's already quite an achievement. You have to understand that Durandal is already his strongest fighter. Unless he shows off his skills himself."

"The Emperor-level has been released. You're in charge of handling things here. I'm going to support Yu Tu."

"However, it seems that Gray Serpent and Raven have failed again."

Gray Snake shrugged: "As expected."

"Alright, I'll leave this to you. Don't mess it up like that good-for-nothing Raven."

After saying that, Jackal waved his hand, and a group of people immediately emerged from the shadows.

Some people are operating some kind of giant vehicle at high speed, as if they are transporting something huge.

A muffled sound slowly began, and the surrounding space began to distort inexplicably.

Something scary moved.

Gray Snake watched his colleague's departing figure, shaking his head and clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Ever since she got her hands on the Thousand Realms One Vehicle, the Jackal has become increasingly arrogant. Is this the confidence that winning against Otto has given her... Oh well, let's just follow that person's instructions."
