Honkai Impact

"Understood, leave it to me!"

Kiana's eyes burned with confidence!

"Report, a large number of Rush-type Honkai Beasts have appeared ahead. They've already reached the Hyperion's deck and are destroying the drones!" a staff member reported to Himeko.

"Damn it, appearing at this time…"

Himeko looked annoyed, but as an A-rank Valkyrie, she immediately said, "Kiana, I'll have the Hyperion reduce speed. You'll handle the Honkai Beasts on the deck. Mei, get on the drone immediately and investigate the area around the rogue ship beforehand, but don't get too close. Bronya, continue attempting to remotely hack into the rogue battleship's systems!"

"Eh… I want to go with Mei…"

Kiana seemed reluctant…

"Kiana, that's an order!"

Mei said to Kiana in a slightly stern tone…

"Yes…"

There was no helping it; orders had to be obeyed. Kiana could only accept the mission to clear the Honkai Beasts on the deck…

As for Ling Feng, although he had come along, he was considered non-combat personnel. He was only here this time to learn combat command and arrangement from Himeko, observing from the sidelines…

As the Hyperion's speed decreased, Kiana and Mei arrived on the deck. They easily took down a large number of Rush-type Honkai Beasts. Then, Mei boarded the drone and flew ahead towards the rogue battleship!

On the control room's display screen, Ling Feng could directly see Kiana's combat footage. Although it was thanks to the Stigmata, Kiana's strength as a B-rank Valkyrie was undeniable. Facing the lowest-class Rush-type Honkai Beasts was incredibly easy for her; it was almost one shot per enemy. In a short time, she had cleared all the Honkai Beasts on the deck!

Afterward, the Hyperion accelerated and successfully arrived above the rogue battleship…

Then, Mei's image appeared on the display screen: "Report, Major Himeko, I've found the optimal landing spot. The target battleship has Honkai energy reactions, with a 99% probability of Honkai Beasts present!"

"Hyperion received, Kiana, prepare for landing!" Himeko calmly assigned tasks…

"Close cabin safety protection, manually open the cabin, Hyperion has entered constant speed cruise, airtight cabin depressurization complete, voltage normal, observation team confirmed, awaiting Valkyrie landing!"

With reports coming in from all departments, the landing preparations were complete!

Then, the Hyperion's cabin door opened, and Kiana stood there fully armed…

"Valkyrie landing preparation, ten, nine, eight…"

Kiana silently activated her tactical visor, and various parameters and data were displayed. This scenario had been simulated countless times in the academy's training rooms, so she felt no nervousness!

"Three, two, one, commence landing!"

As the countdown ended, Kiana unhesitatingly leaped into the sky. The Valkyrie armor's energy shield protected her from the high-speed wind. Her tactical visor continuously displayed her position relative to the rogue battleship…

Under the setting sun, Kiana's first battle began!

"Boom!"

Seven seconds later, Kiana successfully landed on the top of the rogue battleship. She then proceeded towards the battleship's control room along the predetermined route given by Himeko. However, she had one more task before that…

"Report to Himeko, the Honkai Beasts on the deck have been cleared. Carrier-based aircraft can now land!" In one minute, Kiana successfully eliminated the Honkai Beasts on the deck and waited for Mei and Bronya to arrive!

"Received, Mei, Bronya, you can land now!"

Mei calmly issued the order. All of this had long become routine for her!

"Understood, Mei has successfully landed!"

"Bronya reporting, have successfully rendezvoused with Kiana and Mei!"

Mei and Bronya landed on the battleship's deck respectively in their carrier-based aircraft…

"Commence combat operations!"

Himeko immediately replied, "There are thirteen minutes left until the battleship enters Shanghai. You must stop the battleship within these thirteen minutes. Begin!"

"Team 233 received!"

Kiana replied with a confident smile, then looked at Mei and Bronya, "Well then, Mei, Bronya, let's perfectly complete our first mission together!"

ps: Does this have sensitive words? Why is the entire paragraph red?

Sniper rifle?

No?

Separately?

Chapter 28: Emperor-class Honkai Beast, Third Herrscher!

The three members of Team 233 headed towards the battleship's control room together. Although Honkai Beasts continuously appeared along the way, they were all the weakest Rush-type Honkai Beasts, and they couldn't even last a second against Mei and Kiana…

Soon, the three arrived outside the control room, but more and more Honkai Beasts were appearing. Even though Mei and Kiana were strong, they seemed to be struggling against such a large number of Honkai Beasts…

"Bronya, we'll hold off the Honkai Beasts. You go to the control room and pilot the battleship!" Mei never disappointed when it came to making decisions, immediately choosing the option most suitable for the current situation!

"Kiana, Sister Mei, please be careful…"

Bronya didn't hesitate and directly entered the control room to prepare to take over the battleship. However, the battleship had a password, and to control it, she needed to hack into it first!

Fortunately, Bronya was also a super hacker. Although she hadn't been active for a while, her skills were still top-notch in the world. Cracking the battleship's operating system wasn't difficult for her!

The only thing she needed was time, but at this moment… time was running out!

The battleship was about to enter Shanghai airspace, and Mei and Kiana were also fighting Honkai Beasts. She… had to hurry!

Through the operating system, Bronya learned the battleship's name: Moonlight Throne!

Cracking the program, begin execution!

Outside the control room, the two were locked in a fierce battle with Honkai Beasts...

"Yaaah... Mei, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Kiana. Conserve your stamina and energy. We just need to stall for time!"

"Damn it, why are there so many Honkai Beasts!"

"Beichen Iai Style, Slash!"

On the Hyperion, Ling Feng was still watching the battle on the Moonlight Throne, but compared to his initial ease, Ling Feng's expression had gradually become serious!

Previously, because the Honkai Beasts were too weak, Kiana and Mei had cut through them like vegetables, but after fighting for so long, not only had the number of Honkai Beasts not decreased, but it was subtly increasing. According to the data transmitted from their Valkyrie armors, Mei and Kiana's remaining energy was less than half. If this continued, they would be worn down to death!

"Himeko, aren't you going to send reinforcements?"

Ling Feng silently looked at Himeko. Although he shouldn't interject as a student, he didn't want to see the Valkyries in his team get hurt!

"Let's wait a bit longer. This is their mission..."

Himeko checked the time. Only three minutes had passed. Moreover, although the situation seemed unfavorable, Mei and Kiana could still hold on for a while, and this time was very important for their growth!

Ling Feng stopped talking. Although he knew this period was important for Mei and the others' growth, he was still very worried, worried that something might go wrong...

"Szzzzzt..."

Suddenly, the image on the main screen disappeared...

"What happened?"

Himeko immediately asked!

"Report, the Hyperion is being interfered with by an unknown frequency, and communications with the Moonlight Throne have been severed!" The observer provided the answer almost instantly...

"Restore communications immediately, and at the same time..."

Himeko turned to look at Ling Feng, "Ling Feng, command is also part of your assistant duties. You will be in charge here temporarily. I need to prepare for landing!"

"Understood!"

Ling Feng nodded and agreed directly. Although he wished he could go help Mei and the others himself, he had no weapons or armor at the moment, so even if he went, it wouldn't be of much use. Therefore, it was better to stay on the Hyperion and command. With Himeko, an A-rank Valkyrie, taking action, all problems would be solved!

"Aaaah... Damn it, why... why is it so strong..."

On the Moonlight Throne, Kiana knelt on the ground, her armor already showing multiple damages, and her remaining energy was less than a tenth. All of this was because of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast in front of her!

The Emperor-class Honkai Beast, the king among lower-tier Honkai Beasts, was the strongest existence below the Emperor-class Honkai Beasts. Valkyries below A-rank could hardly defeat it alone. When it appeared, it was usually accompanied by massive Honkai phenomena!

The Hyperion's signal being blocked was also thanks to it. When it appeared, the surrounding space would be distorted to a certain extent, thereby interfering with communications!

"Kiana, be careful..."

Compared to Kiana, Mei wasn't much better. The Emperor-class Honkai Beast was something she could hardly defeat even at her peak. And now, her condition was not complete, making it even more impossible to win, so they had to retreat!

However, if they retreated, Bronya in the control room would be in danger. But if Bronya also retreated, the Moonlight Throne would fall towards Shanghai, and that would be truly troublesome!

"No, I... absolutely not..."

Kiana struggled to stand up and faced the powerful Emperor-class Honkai Beast together with Mei. Even though her instincts kept telling her to retreat, she absolutely couldn't abandon Mei...

"Whoosh..."

The Emperor-class Honkai Beast suddenly released an energy beam. Mei dodged it instantly, but Kiana reacted too slowly and was directly hit...

"Aaaah..."

Kiana let out a scream, and her Valkyrie armor shattered directly...

"Kiana..."

Mei wanted to go and help Kiana up, but facing the menacing Emperor-class Honkai Beast in front of her, she didn't dare to rush over...

"I can't fall here. Even if it costs me my life, at least I have to make sure Kiana..."

Mei stared intently at the Emperor-class Honkai Beast. She knew very well that her chances of defeating the Emperor-class Honkai Beast with her current strength were almost zero, so this was the only way...

To protect Kiana, to protect everyone, this power...

Limit, release!

"Beep beep beep beep..."

At the same time, on the Hyperion, the observer reported, "Report, a powerful Honkai energy reaction has appeared in the direction of the Moonlight Throne. The energy level exceeds that of an Emperor-class Honkai Beast. According to the reaction indicators, it should be the energy reaction of a Third Herrscher!"

"Emperor-class Honkai Beast? Herrscher?"

Ling Feng was momentarily stunned. What was going on? Why were Emperor-class Honkai Beasts and Herrschers showing up? The difficulty of Team 233's first combat mission was too high...

"Dispatch all remaining carrier-based aircraft to retrieve Himeko and Team 233. Prepare the Hyperion's main cannon. If the Moonlight Throne cannot be stopped from flying towards Shanghai, then it must be destroyed before it enters Shanghai!"

After all, Ling Feng had been a captain before, and he remained calm in the face of this situation, making his decision immediately. There was no other way, as he couldn't contact Himeko right now!

Destroying a battleship was definitely infinitely better than the battleship crashing into Shanghai!

"Yes, Hyperion's main cannons are ready, and all carrier-based aircraft have been dispatched!"

The observer hesitated for a moment before quickly accepting the order…

Ling Feng looked down at Moonlight Throne below, feeling very anxious. But right now, there was nothing he could do to help. If he had known something like this would happen, he should have brought Chi You with him…

Speaking of which, wasn't his original reason for choosing Team 233 to slack off? Why did he feel more anxious than those three girls right now…

ps: Fourth day without any silly book friends!

Chapter 29: Moonlight Throne!

"Yaaah… Go to hell, scum!"

Upon Moonlight Throne, the uncontrolled Mei sneered and slashed at the Emperor-class Honkai Beast. Instantly, powerful lightning energy erupted from her, and all the Rush-type Honkai Beasts gathered there were vaporized, with no chance to resist at all…

The Emperor-class Honkai Beast also unleashed an energy beam, attempting to block Mei's attack, but it was useless…

"Lightning, explode!"

Mei's entire body was filled with terrifying lightning energy, and she rapidly slashed at the Emperor-class Honkai Beast at extreme speed, finally finishing with a lightning blade energy attack…

"Boom-whum-boom-boom-boom…"

The Emperor-class Honkai Beast exploded on the spot…

"Plop…"

Then, Mei also fainted on the ground, completely losing consciousness…

"Mei, Mei, Mei, how are you?"
