Chapter 443: Longing for Gems

"All combatants please complete the landing within thirty minutes! Repeat, all combatants please complete the landing within thirty minutes!"

The bright red flashing warning lights had filled every corner of the school, and Theresa's childish shouts were mixed in, which actually made everyone's sense of urgency slightly lower.

Jizi sighed and took the broadcast microphone from Theresa. After a while, a more serious and urgent voice sounded:

"Combatants please board the ship as quickly as possible! This is not a drill! Repeat! This is not a drill!"

"Fu Hua, report to me on the operation of the Honkai Furnace."

"Reporting to the Major, Honkai Furnaces No. 01 to 04 are operating normally. Honkai Furnaces No. 05 and 06 are inputting Honkai energy. It is expected to take five minutes to complete. All anti-gravity engines are ready and the Hyperion can take off at any time. ”

Fast forward two years, when faced with the collapse of Changkong City, Hyperion's war preparations still seemed to be in a hurry. Now, two boarding ports have been added to the stern of the ship, and the passages inside the ship have also been renovated. Weapons and ammunition are always fully stocked, and the time for combat readiness has been doubled. However, despite this, it is still difficult for personnel to complete the boarding. It takes half an hour. In comparison, although the upgraded Honkai Furnace requires five minutes to input Honkai Energy compared to the original nuclear fusion furnace, this increase in time does not matter at all.

After all, whether Hyperion can take off does not depend on the part that prepares the fastest, but the part that completes the preparation last.

It's just that...perhaps thinking of the past in Changkong City, Hua and Jizi looked at each other knowingly.

"I'm going to attend the combat meeting. Hua, I'll leave the bridge to you first."

"clear!"

After all, they are the only two A-level Valkyries in the Far East Branch. Although Fu Hua is theoretically only a student, she has to be the one to take over - but this is just what the other Valkyries thought when they saw this scene. Ji Zi would not really regard Hua as a little girl. In other words, it was precisely because she knew that Hua's background was not simple and her abilities were sufficient that Ji Zi felt free to give her the position on the bridge.

There is a semi-open conference room on the side of the bridge. In fact, as far as Theresa and Himeko's habits are concerned, most of the so-called combat meetings are just two people standing on the bridge to make final decisions. This is the case for the Far East Branch. People do not need complex command forms such as meetings at all, they only need to make decisions directly based on the situation of each part.

But today is different. After all, the archbishop of Tianming is here. If he continues as usual, it will be somewhat disrespectful. Besides, before the war preparation work is completely completed, such a meeting will not be a waste of time.

"The analysis of the Moonlight Throne engine on the battleship brought back from Canghai City is almost complete. It is something that can react more than 12,000HW with Honkai Impact. The current technical limit of your destiny is only one-tenth of this thing. ? It’s also a coincidence. Theresa originally planned to start replacing the Moonlight Throne engine in two days, but if the collapse occurs one day later, it will be troublesome. "

Otto glanced at it with a smile, but did not answer. He turned to Theresa who had just walked over and asked:

"Oh? You didn't report this plan to me, my dear Theresa."

"I just don't think this needs to be reported."

Theresa glared at Mikael, and then lowered her head with a guilty conscience.

Otto shook his head, but did not pursue the matter further.

"Rita, please report the current situation."

"Okay, Lord Bishop."

Rita first bowed to everyone, and then said unhurriedly in her unique dignified and gentle tone:

"At 11:57 East 9th District Time, which is about 20 minutes ago, a collapse occurred in the Oceania branch of New Zealand. The peak response of the collapse energy was 3587HW."

Everyone here understands what it means for Honkai energy reaction to exceed 1000HW.

"Oceania branch? No wonder the alarm reached here first."

If the American branch was still there, it should have been the first echelon to support the Oceania branch. Unfortunately...

The most powerful European headquarters is far away on the other side of the world. The only ones that can reach New Zealand as soon as possible are the Far East Branch and the Southeast Asia Branch.

Can the power of these two branches...

Teresa's fingers hidden in the sleeves of the nun's uniform were slightly bent. Even if Rita, an S-class Valkyrie, was included, it was still not enough to deal with the Herrscher.

She knew the situation of the Far East Branch. There were only two A-level Valkyries. Hua was seriously injured and left the field during the second collapse sixteen years ago. She didn't know if she had recovered now. Today's Jizi's combat effectiveness is at A. Among the super Valkyrie, she is only at an average level. After all, her body...

As for her, the former S-class Valkyrie...it's okay not to mention it.

The Southeast Asian branch was even worse than the Far East branch. During the Manila collapse a year ago, the Snow Lotus team stationed in the Southeast Asian branch was wiped out except for the current captain Anna Shaniat. The reorganization was only completed a few months ago.

Of course, judging from the strength shown by the Third Herrscher in Changkong City, an A-level Valkyrie team, two additional A-level Valkyries, a current S-level Valkyrie, and a former S-level Valkyrie are more than enough to deal with Herrscher. .

But the problem is that whether it is the First Herrscher or the Second Herrscher, the combat power and destructive power displayed by the Third Herrscher... can only be said to be two in the sky and one underground. Rather than expecting the Fourth Herrscher's combat effectiveness to be on the same level as the Third Herrscher's, it would be better to expect Himeko to be more reliable.

"Is Lady Theresa worried that we can't deal with the Herrscher?"

Rita tilted her head. She had also heard about the tragedy sixteen years ago, so it was not difficult to guess Theresa's worries. Of course, she knew those things mainly because Hollander was very interested in them.

"Honkai can reach its peak for just an instant, lasting less than two seconds, and then quickly drops below 1000HW. This situation is not the same as the second Honkai Impact, but more like the third Honkai Impact two years ago. Bad. But because Raiden Mei retained her original consciousness and suppressed Herrscher, her Honkai reaction was reduced. Under normal circumstances, Herrscher should continue to engage in destruction..."

"But, apart from the Herrscher...well, and the Moonlight Throne Engine, is there anything else that can increase the Honkai energy reaction to more than 1500HW?"

Theresa held her big head, full of doubts. The reason why I say more than 1500HW instead of more than 1000HW is because the Honkai Furnace on the Hyperion can reach more than 1000HW when running at full power. However, except for the Moonlight Throne engine, the most advanced engine of Destiny can only reach just over 1200HW. .

"have!"

For a moment, Rita, Mikael, Himeko and Otto spoke out at the same time.

Theresa's head became heavier, but she only thought about it for a moment before she understood what the others were referring to.

"What if there are a large number of Honkai energy savings tanks? Each branch will have Honkai energy savings, right? The total amount of Honkai energy savings in the Guangji East Branch is no less than 3000HW, not to mention that the Oceania branch is isolated overseas. We are unable to receive timely support from the headquarters or our allies in China, so we have the most Honkai Energy saved on a daily basis. Is it possible that the Honkai Energy piggy bank just exploded?"

Rita spread her hands and raised the possibility.

"Why... why do you think so? What if it's really the Herrscher?"

Theresa couldn't understand. Shouldn't anticipating the worst-case scenario in advance be a basic requirement for combat consultants?

"The easiest way to identify is actually very simple. As long as you get in touch with the Oceania branch, you should be able to learn from the survivors what happened... Well, unfortunately, the Oceania branch has been missing since the beginning of the collapse. The connection has not been restored yet, so we can only speculate.”

Even though she was questioned by Teresa, even if the situation was urgent, Rita still calmly spread her hands and answered in the smoothest and most elegant tone.

But as soon as she finished speaking, a sneer came from the corner.

"puff!"

Seeing that everyone was paying attention, Mikael silently covered his mouth, but then he shook his head and turned to look at Otto:

"Hey! You're even hiding it from your granddaughter?"

"I can't help it. Who keeps you by Theresa's side? I can't possibly be defenseless against you, right?"

Otto blinked.

"Besides, I'm just hiding something from my granddaughter, you..."

"Eleanor and she are not technically granddaughters, are they?"

This sentence immediately silenced Otto. He looked at Theresa who was worried and curious, closed his eyes and shrugged.

"Okay Rita, it's already like this, there's no need to hide that matter anymore."

"Huh? Okay, I understand, Lord Bishop."

Rita bowed again.

"Lord Teresa, here's the thing: Do you still remember that sixteen years ago, when you set foot on the battlefield in Siberia again, what did you find on the land where Lady Cecilia and Siren died together?"

"Um?"

Theresa just frowned and answered without much thought:

"You mean, the four gems left by Siren?"

After the words fell, Mikael frowned slightly. Otto lowered his head to drink, covering most of his face, making it difficult for people to see his expression. Jizi leaned against the glass wall of the conference room and listened purely as if he were eating. .

Even Rita was stunned, but she reacted quickly and continued without revealing any flaws:

"Yes, the power of the Second Herrscher is unprecedentedly powerful. Even the core of the Herrscher is unusual. It was broken into four pieces, and each piece still has a certain degree of activity. We can defeat it, Lady Theresa is really It’s a great contribution.”

Teresa's face instantly darkened, but she thought that Rita was not much older than Mei, and most of her knowledge of the collapse came from hearsay and the Destiny Files. The content in the file, based on her grandfather's style, must be whitewashed.

"No need to say too much about compliments, just tell me the results...wait, what do you mean!"

Maybe people with big heads are slower to react, or maybe Theresa has been retired for too long, and her reaction has become sluggish. It was only then that the terrible idea emerged from her mind belatedly. .

"Yes, that's it. Siren's original four gems were named by destiny: the Conquering Gem, the Desire Gem, the Tranquility Gem, and the Disease Gem. Lady Theresa, do you still remember the anti-entropy thing? "

Rita glanced at Otto's position without trace, but Theresa lowered her head to think and didn't notice.

"Not long after I returned to the battlefield, the leader of Anti-Entropy, the First Herrscher, also arrived with Anti-Entropy's mecha troops and asked me to hand over the core of the Second Herrscher to them, but they were still a step too late. I had already obtained four gems in advance."

"Yes, at that time, Destiny had almost exhausted all its top combat power, and faced with Anti-Entropy's unreasonable demands, it was powerless to refuse. But Lady Theresa, you had already obtained four gems in advance, and there was an information gap between you and Anti-Entropy, so you gave one of the gems to Anti-Entropy, and Anti-Entropy did not doubt it. And that gem is the Conquest Gem in Raiden Mei's body."

Theresa scratched her head. She always felt that there was an inexplicable sense of disharmony, but what Rita said was no different from her memory, so she did not interrupt her.

"Among the other three gems, the Serenity Gem was stolen by Anti-Entropy several years ago and its whereabouts are still unknown. The Plague Gem is kept at the headquarters, and the Desire Gem was sent to the Oceania branch several years ago for..."

"Okay, stop talking, I understand."

Theresa smiled disappointedly.

"What Destiny did is no different from what Anti-Entropy did to Meiyi, right?"

She was not surprised, this was her grandfather's style.

It would be better to say that after having these gems, not trying such an experiment would not be in line with Otto's personality.

But knowing clearly and understanding clearly does not mean that it can be accepted.

It is precisely because she cannot accept these, and she knows that Cecilia cannot accept these, that she will take over her dream and build such a school that she herself thinks is a little childish in the Far East far away from Europe.

She understood those principles. Humans could not defeat Honkai by being naive. On this road, someone would have to sacrifice for it. But no matter what, it had already caused a bad result, so there was no need to talk about "the original intention was good".

"Okay, there is no point in talking about this now. Let's solve the problem first."

Having said that, Otto's voice was gentle and peaceful, as if in his eyes, the Honkai of New Zealand was just an insignificant mistake.

"The initial battle plan is this: the Snow Lotus Squad of the Southeast Asian branch has already set off. They will enter the battlefield from the west, and the Hyperion will cut in from the northwest to provide the necessary firepower support for the Snow Lotus Squad. At the same time, the headquarters has been in contact with the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, requesting the other party to allow Lord Yulandel and the Immortal Blade to pass over America, but Anti-Entropy has not responded yet."

"I can't wait any longer, Rita, let Bianca take the Immortal Blade directly and set off via South America. The Anti-Entropy Headquarters is in North America, which is less likely to stimulate them. Of course, remember to let Bianca prepare for battle."

Watching her grandfather arrange the battle tasks in an orderly manner without even asking for her opinion, Theresa opened her mouth silently, a little discouraged, but didn't know what to say.

Well, although grandpa is a little bad, he must be much more mature than herself in dealing with major events.

Mikael looked at the reactions of the grandfather and grandson with interest, and in the midst of laughter, a sour feeling that might just be an illusion came up.

He looked towards the bridge unconsciously, and Hua's voice happened to ring out at this moment:

"All units are ready, please give the order to take off, Captain!"

Failed to attack the half-eagle force, fell back to the level of the four thousand day idiot
