Damn! How Can You Be a Herrscher and Not Get Puffed Up?! (Continued)
Elysia and Kevin came to his side, both of them completely bewildered. A meeting? What's the point of a meeting? Just charge at the Herrscher wherever she is.
That's Herrscher! Every second of delay could cause immeasurable harm.
"Don't worry, if it's Mei who said it, then she must have a reason. It's okay, anyway, we have Vill-V... and Spiral Workshop. It's just a meeting, it won't be a big deal."
"Um!"
"Good!"
Hearing Bai Ge say that, the two of them immediately felt relieved, as if they had found a pillar of support. Their anxious expressions relaxed considerably.
Hua, who was standing not far away, had a complicated expression. She was still an ordinary soldier.
It's not that Bai Ge didn't want to arrange Hypermutation Surgery for her, but the official setting for Hua's exclusive Judgment-Class Honkai Beast? Garuda hasn't been born yet, and there's not even a clue whether it's a wild Honkai Beast or Herrscher's Companion Honkai Beast.
She didn't have detailed memories of her past life, and Bai Ge didn't plan to arrange other Honkai Beast for her to deal with. After all, she was a future Flame Chasers, and he preferred quality over quantity. He could afford to wait.
However, Hua was a little impatient.
Hua: (I really want to become stronger quickly so I can stand with them...)
The group quickly arrived at the operations room.
Mei nodded to Bai Ge and then stood up to explain the current situation. Although she only joined the Moth Chasing Fire after the Third Honkai Eruption, with Bai Ge's strong support and her own extraordinary talent, she was able to achieve great success.
Mei quickly rose through the ranks to management and is now the head of a research institute.
"Mei, what's going on? The Fourth Herrscher has been born, we need to deal with it as soon as possible!" Kevin said anxiously.
"Kevin, calm down and listen to Mei," Bai Ge said, pressing down on the husky beside him.
"You're so calm, Bai Ge. The reason I ordered the troops to suspend their attack is because it would be pointless to launch an attack now. The codename for the Fourth Herrscher has been confirmed as the Herrscher of Wind, and her modus operandi is completely different from the previous Herrscher."
"Huh? What did this Herrscher do?"
Bai Ge frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong.
He also had some prior knowledge of the Herrscher of Wind from the Previous Civilization, and considering the many interferences he made against the Previous Civilization, he undoubtedly disrupted the original plot.
Since many things have changed on the human side.
Therefore, it's not surprising that Honkai made changes.
Mei pushed up her glasses and said through gritted teeth.
"The Herrscher of Wind... has escaped."
"???" xN
Everyone was stunned at that moment, even Bai Ge stared wide-eyed as if he didn't believe he had heard correctly.
Mei said she knew this would be the reaction, and she turned on the screen projector to directly display the images observed by the satellite.
That happened ten minutes ago.
Great Honkai suddenly erupted in a small coastal town, its scale surpassing even that of the Herrscher of Thunder.
Then a girl with blue wind wings on her back and a white scarf around her neck soared into the sky like a god—she was the Fourth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Wind!
With a wave of his hand, the Herrscher of Wind caused several giant tornadoes to rise from the sea, a devastating sight that sent chills down the spines of many present.
Kevin and the others also looked solemn. Although they already knew how terrifying the Herrscher were, they still felt extremely nervous whenever they saw these Honkai Apostle activating their powers.
Then, the Herrscher of Wind blew up a small island from the sea and sent it crashing directly onto the land.
Bai Ge: (Why can the island fly... If the Raven saw this, it would definitely have PtSD.)
At that moment, a mech unit appeared on the video, attacking the Herrscher of Wind.
Bai Ge suddenly realized that Chen Yue had once built a hidden hangar.
However, these are just low-level mechs used to deal with ordinary Honkai Beast. They will undoubtedly be instantly killed by the Herrscher, but even if they only hinder her for a few seconds, it will not be a waste.
Bai Ge and Vill-V roughly divided the mechs into three levels.
Low-tier mechs: Used to deal with lower-tier Honkai Beast.
High-tier mechs: used to deal with High-Level Honkai Beast.
God-Slaying Mecha: Used to deal with the Herrscher.
The third party is still in the design phase.
Even a genius like Vill-V would need a considerable amount of time to design a mech to counter the Herrscher, and by then it would take Bai Ge a long time to build up the gap between us.
Oops, I've gone off-topic.
The scene that everyone expected —the Herrscher of Wind destroying low-level mechs like swatting flies—did not occur. Instead, she turned and ran away without looking back.
"What the hell?!"
"The Herrscher has escaped?!"
"Wow, is she really that cowardly?"
"Damn, they're already gone!"
The jaws of everyone in the conference room nearly dropped in astonishment.
Even Bai Ge was taken aback.
This Herrscher isn't getting arrogant?!
Is this reasonable?! Is Herrscher doesn't expand still a Herrscher?
Bai Ge: (Holy crap! Have some backbone, will you? When have we Herrscher ever backed down? Your predecessors were all tough guys who single-handedly fought against the world without flinching, and your future successors will also be reckless brutes who will take on the whole world. Even the Herrscher of Corruption is braver than you!)
Even Bai Ge was arrogant for a while after becoming Herrscher, but this Herrscher of Wind was actually scared away by a few low-level mechs.
This is as ridiculous as a lion being afraid of ants!
"The Herrscher's escape was indeed unexpected by everyone, but the most important thing is her escape speed, which is estimated to be... Mach 7."
"What?! So fast!"
Everyone was taken aback again, and Mei looked troubled, having ruled out the Herrscher of the Void as a special being.
The Herrscher of Wind's mobility is absolutely the strongest among all Herrscher to date, and even those that will appear in the future.
If a Herrscher chooses not to confront her directly but instead flees, then humanity has virtually no means to capture her.
Even if you try to calculate and predict her flight path and wait, there's no guarantee she won't change direction and continue to escape after seeing it. Even if she doesn't escape, she'll still be difficult to deal with, after all... it's like facing the Herrscher of Wind on a stage called the Sky.
Everyone immediately thought of the word "suicide".
Currently, very few Fusion Warrior can fly, and even those who can barely fly cannot possibly win the Wind Rhythm of manipulating the Ideal Fluid.
"What should we do now? We can't just leave her alone. She might have accidentally created two tornadoes while she was escaping; who knows what kind of disaster that could have caused!"
"But even our fastest fighter jets can't catch up with her, and even if they do, there's nothing we can do to stop her. What should we do?"
"Damn Herrscher, if you're so tough, why don't you face me head-on!"
The people in the war room were filled with resentment and anger. Although the Third Herrscher was equally desperate and had a Companion Honkai Beast, at least the people were there and within reach.
However, this Herrscher of Wind doesn't give you a chance to fight head-on. It flies around the world, and even when it encounters the weakest mech, its first reaction is to immediately flee.
Being cautious and timid is nothing like Herrscher!
However, just when everyone was struggling with this problem...
"Aili, I promised you I'd give you this head, do you still want it?" Bai Ge asked Elysia with a smile, his expression now calm.
"Bai Ge, stop joking around at a time like this! Quickly use your smart brain to think of a solution!" The pink fairy also looked at the Herrscher of Wind on the screen with a worried expression.
"Since you don't want it, then I'll take it."
"Okay, okay, no problem... What did you say?!"
In an instant, everyone in the conference room turned their attention to Bai Ge. Just now, Bai's relaxed tone made it seem as if the Herrscher of Wind was already dead.
Immediately, expectant gazes focused on Bai Ge.
There's no way around it, these people can't help but have expectations!
The White Youth before them had defeated the Herrscher twice in a row, turning the tide twice and bringing victory to humanity when everyone was in despair and giving up.
"Bai Ge, you have a way, don't you!"
Even Dr. Mei claims to be absolutely rational, couldn't help but feel hopeful and confident at this moment. If it were anyone else, she would definitely think that this composure was a fake.
But Bai Ge is different; he's special!
It's as if as long as Bai Ge hasn't given up...
Then humanity did not lose to the Honkai.
This is the prestige he has gained from his victories so far.
"Yes, that's right. Everyone can start preparing for the cleanup. Let's provide support and relief to the areas she destroyed first— Herrscher of Wind, I'll take care of her."
"Great, great, great! That's wonderful!"
"As expected of Bai Ge, he's reliable!"
"Ah, finally there's hope..."
