The Valkyrie Strike Team's Bucket-and-Run Incident

"But this is better than them actually lying in that little box, isn't it?" Although she had touched a sore spot, Reanna was quite open-minded.

"Perhaps you think it's right to sacrifice yourself for Schicksal, but I think no Valkyrie should become a sacrifice for Schicksal ... or for Bishop Otto to achieve his own selfish desires."

"I have no intention of sacrificing myself for Schicksal for the time being." Himeko made a gesture of surrender, "But the captain probably does have that thought to some extent, though only a little."

How could she not know how righteous her captain is?

"Humans are beings that are easily propelled by inertia," Liu Bai added from the side. "All we need to do is break this inertia."

"Yes, I've been propelled by inertia for over a hundred years."

Reanna gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Getting back to the point, besides our side, Siegfried's side... Siegfried will also encounter a formidable enemy, right? That brat is always a handful."

At this moment, Reanna expressed the sentiments of an elder.

"You two are very close?" Liu Bai seemed a little bothered by Reanna's remark.

"Him? I'm not familiar with him, but I'm quite familiar with his grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, and so on... For example, I held his grandfather when he was born, I was his great-grandmother's godmother, his great-great-grandmother was one of my soldiers, and his great-great-grandmother..."

"Stop, stop, stop... I think I know that you Reanna, are quite familiar with the Kaslana family."

The image on the tablet showed someone wiping sweat.

No wonder he's almost two hundred years old; his connections are incredible...

"Anyway, for the sake of his ancestors, I still have to take care of that child to some extent." Reanna sighed. "In addition, we were comrades-in-arms during the Second Honkai War - by the way, I am also quite familiar with the ancestors of the Schariac family."

"..."

Was it a bit impolite of me to call her "sister" before?

Himeko has begun to reflect on herself—Sister, isn't there something wrong with your generational ranking?!

Although she realized that the other person's seniority was unusual, Himeko didn't know how frightening it was until she heard the other person recite the names of the dishes.

—Speaking of grandpa right off the bat is just too scary!?

Who could withstand this?

Himeko thought for a moment, but couldn't figure out what she would do if someone stood in front of her and said something like, "I held your grandfather."

... This situation is terrifying.

"Didn't you already have the answer when you asked the question, Miss Himeko?"

Joyce said matter-of-factly.

"Although I feel a little bad about saying this, I actually think Siegfried is somewhat reluctant to see Sister Reanna —but then again, it doesn't seem out of place to replace the person with Senior Liu Bai."

"Joyce, do you want to get beaten up?"

Liu Bai is a bit dark, what do you mean by "not looking out of place"?

But Himeko nodded when she heard this.

"Now that you mention it, it makes a lot of sense..."

After all, Liu Bai would occasionally bring up things from more than 50,000 years ago.

"It's fine to joke about my age, but joking about the leader of the Alliance Leader is a bit too much."

Reanna slowly spoke to stop her.

"Getting back to the point, so many years have passed, that kid's temper should have calmed down a bit. I should be able to persuade him then... By the way, who is our enemy this time?"

"Perhaps it's someone you know well," Liu Bai subtly hinted.

Ragna knew nothing and couldn't offer any hints, but the two people in front of him were firsthand witnesses to the Second Honkai.

"... An old acquaintance?"

"... Could it be Sirin?"

Reanna didn't react immediately, but Joyce had been living in a daze for the past few years, was the first to realize it.

—After all, he is Herrscher, so he has some authority to speak on the topic of doing sit-ups in his coffin—even though he hasn't used it much.

"Hey... what kind of crazy experiment is Otto up to now?"

Joyce rubbed her temples.

Himeko's eyelids twitched upon hearing Joyce's words.

Sirin... isn't that the name of the Second Herrscher?

Holy crap! God... no, I should say Otto, did you have to make things so exciting?!

Himeko was completely numb.

"Wasn't Sirin dead ten years ago? Where did she come from?"

"It's obvious, K423, the experimental subject brought out by Siegfried... This is troublesome. I didn't expect Otto to create something so dangerous. No wonder he was so eager to retrieve it."

Joyce had a bit of a headache.

"Sister Reanna, if your opponent is Sirin, can you handle it?"

"Yes, although I no longer have the Abyss White Flower, I don't believe that Sirin can be fully revived in a little girl's body."

Reanna remains as trustworthy as ever.

"Okay, in that case I'll go suppress the assault team, and you go suppress Sirin."

It's easy for Reanna to unleash her full power on the battlefield, but taking down an elite force without harming anyone is quite difficult.

"If you can't solve it, you can come to me."

Liu Bai suddenly said this at this moment.

"I can substitute for you if necessary. I shouldn't be much weaker than you in areas outside of actual combat experience."

In terms of martial arts, he inherited the future Bianka's spear techniques; in terms of physique, he is definitely more suited to Soul Steel Reanna.

Moreover, he is not entirely without practical experience.

"You... I understand."

Reanna paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Wait a minute, the radar has detected the Schicksal fighter and is requesting satellite access!... Damn it! The plane has landed! They've probably found Siegfried and his men!"

The images transmitted back from the satellite made Reanna's face turn pale.

"Of all times..."

"What?" Himeko panicked as well.

"Joyce! Get down here and get to the battlefield immediately!"

At this moment, Liu Bai immediately spoke up.

"Don't panic, there's still a chance as long as there's no explosion— Reanna! I'll take control of the plane! You be ready for battle at any time!"

"Yes, Lord Alliance Leader!"

Liu Bai gave everyone present a sense of security.

Without saying a word, Joyce opened the hatch and jumped straight down towards the fire.

"You two sit tight, I'm about to go all out."

Liu Bai possessed the fighter jet.

"Top speed of Mach 2.5... I've never tried speeding in a plane before."

Mach 2.5, or 2.5 times the speed of sound, is only so-so from the perspective of Anti-Entropy technology.

Is everyone ready?

"No problem!"

As the report was delivered with great vigor, Ragna's expression relaxed, but then became serious again.

"Everyone! Be on high alert immediately! This may be the strongest enemy we've ever faced in our lives!"

Liu Bai's earlier reminder came to Ragna's mind.

Ragna stared at the wooden house in front of him with a solemn expression.

Inside the wooden house, a small figure trembled as he listened to the sounds outside.

Dad's not here... Are the people outside bad guys?

Bang bang—!

There was a knock on the door—not loud, but each knock felt like a blow to her heart.

It's okay... Dad taught me Gun Kata, I'm sure I can handle those bad guys.

How is that possible?

A slightly disdainful question arose from the bottom of my heart.

—You think you can defeat those Valkyrie?

—You'll just get caught and locked in a cage.

How... how could this be?

The girl curled up her body.

Why not?

Upon hearing a reply accompanied by a scornful laugh, the girl's vision went completely dark.

"I just woke up to see these unsettling Valkyrie..."

The young girl's golden eyes gleamed with malice.

"Disgusting, so let's just kill them all."

Boom--!

Terrifying energy erupted from the wooden house.

"Team leader!?"

"I'm fine—!"

The worst thing did happen.

"Huh? He's not dead?"

Sirin frowned slightly. "Tsk, this is really annoying."

Several Void Lance appeared around Sirin —no problem, it's just a matter of each person finishing her off.

The terrifying pressure caused all the Valkyrie present to break out in a sweat.

The monster... is absolutely invincible!

The Valkyrie leaned forward slightly, all ready to charge with their swords as shields.

"..."

However, at this moment, Sirin suddenly looked up, frowning slightly as she gazed at the distant sky.

"... Tsk."

... There seems to be an unpleasant aura coming this way.

Chapter 198 The Valkyrie Assault Team's Runaway Incident

Run?

Sirin's expression was gloomy and uncertain, and the surrounding Void Lance would sometimes gather and sometimes disperse.

No, she can't escape—although Sirin didn't understand much about chasing problems, she still knew the most basic speed difference.

I can't unleash my full power right now, and in my current state, I can't outrun that guy at all.
