Chapter 452

Not to mention how exaggeratedly the physical strength of the Fusion Warrior has been enhanced, the Alliance has also equipped them with extremely expensive heavy armor.

For research departments that prioritize practicality, what can be called expensive heavy armor is one whose effectiveness is directly proportional to its cost.

Even a petite girl, if she is Fusion Warrior, can run with the momentum of a heavy armored vehicle unit.

That's right, it's not equivalent to a heavy armored vehicle, but rather to a heavy armored battlefield unit.

In terms of job roles, Valkyrie are more like so-called magic professions, except that in addition to mages, there are also magic scholars who specialize in research, magic researchers, or support mages, alchemists, and so on who are responsible for logistics.

Fusion Warrior are more like pure physical classes, such as greatsword, dual swords, berserker, etc., and are more suitable for frontal battles.

Of course, this does not mean that Valkyrie are not suitable for direct combat. Valkyrie also have similar classes on the battlefield, such as magic warriors, magic swordsmen, and magic lancers.

The Assault Team and Lewis Squad, who have always been fighting on the front lines, have clearly misplaced their skill points. Compared to the Valkyrie, who are more like magic classes, the Assault Team are greatsword warriors and the Lewis Squad are shield warriors.

But that doesn't mean the Assault Team's tactics were wrong.

Although the original Assault Team, which was dedicated to fighting giant Honkai Beast, has retired and Assault Team members have taken on clerical roles, they have passed on their combat experience to the Fusion Warrior.

Fusion Warrior are indeed better suited than Valkyrie for charging into battle, or rather, for assaulting the front lines.

Instilled with the ideology of the Assault Team, they knew they could not retreat, they had to withstand all the pressure and take the worst beatings to provide a good output environment for the Valkyrie.

While not all Valkyrie need to rely on the Fusion Warrior for cover, in recent years Valkyrie have focused on developing energy attacks that convert Honkai Energy.

Another line of defense composed of Honkai Beast was breached by the Fusion Warrior clad in heavy armor.

Seeing the Honkai Beast scattered, a barrage of attacks immediately rained down on Honkai Beast, blasting the unprotected Honkai Beast into dust.

The reason why the Valkyrie waited until the defense line was breached before unleashing a large number of attacks was because the elite Tank-class Honkai Beast made up the defense line had a high degree of Honkai. Even if the Valkyrie distorted the Honkai Energy into other energies, it would still take a lot of effort to destroy that outer shell.

Instead of wasting energy fighting against these elite Tank-class Honkai Beast, it would be better to unleash the Valkyrie' powerful destructive capabilities and eliminate as many of their forces as possible. Enemies as stubborn and unyielding as stinking rocks in a latrine are better left to the more suitable Fusion Warrior.

That's right, the Assault Team's theories have indeed been inherited.

But what was inherited was not some indomitable courage or unwavering belief, but rather the so-called "miracles happen through sheer force."

Even Laguna didn't realize that by having the Assault Team mentor the Fusion Warrior, things had taken a turn for the worse. In fact, many Valkyrie had also started down the path of achieving miracles through sheer force.

In the words of those affected girls, it was about proving the Way through force.

Q: What can I do if the Honkai Beast's shell is too hard?

Answer: Use more force.

Q: What should I do if there are too many Honkai Beasts?

Answer: Apply more force.

Q: What should I do if the Humanoid Honkai Beast have such ridiculously strong bodies?

Answer: Apply even more force.

Laguna's question is actually quite simple: the Assault Team' guidance of the Fusion Warrior did not cause the art style to go astray. After all, given the Assault Team ' "drunkard ladies" style, they were already Valkyrie with misplaced skill points.

Of course, in the past, it might have been because Otto was too unreliable, resulting in the Valkyrie not having many skill points, so they couldn't add points to the magic skill tree. But after Laguna and the others underwent the Type-B modification surgery, it meant that their skill points were finally plentiful, but their fighting style remained completely unchanged.

Even the weapon has changed from the original heavy sword to Gravity Sword. Simply put, it's like giving a super boost to a skill that was already misallocated.

You said the Assault Team are the Valkyrie squad?

No, they are actually Fusion Warrior squad.

The difference between them and the Fusion Warrior is that they did not have Honkai Beast elements mixed in during the modification surgery.

The Herrscher-type modification surgery further obscures this point, mainly based on Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody, which are novel antibodies optimized time and time again based on the K422-1 factor.

Leaving aside the complexities and Jackal's sudden inspiration, after all, the birth of the Yomotsu Hekitsuhime Antibody means that Jackal is indeed the strongest biological researcher in the current civilization, but her other abilities are really hard to describe... Unfortunately, Jackal is unaware of this and is even very ambitious.

So every now and then Freya would give her a good "education," at least to make her understand that doing scientific research is enjoyable, while doing anything else is tantamount to suicide.

K422-1 possesses almost every characteristic, after all, she is a clone of the Herrscher of Finality's backup container in this world.

Even Freya never imagined that Otto's unintentional act would leave the League with an unimaginable foundation for scientific research.

Although it is now possible to synthesize K422-1 factors artificially after continuous analysis, the factors extracted from K422-1 are still the best and can be continuously optimized.

Freya drew her own blood for research, but her blood was not a natural fusion agent like K422-1.

Before long, another passage's defenses were breached, and a barrage of attacks swept through, eliminating the weaker Honkai Beast.

The main city passages have been breached, but the casualties among the Fusion Warrior and Valkyrie are few.

Many wounded Valkyrie and Fusion Warrior retreated to the front-line base for treatment, a situation that relieved Freya.

Whenever a Fusion Warrior is injured, she can't help but worry about their safety; whenever Valkyrie is injured, Freya feels as if her heart is about to stop.

After all, she recognized all the Valkyrie in the Alliance.

Freya would take the time to learn about anyone, whether it was their name, background, or preferences.

"No, I can't stand it anymore."

"..."

Theresa and Rita, who were sitting next to Freya, were speechless.

After all, Freya's reaction left the two of them speechless. To put it metaphorically, Freya was like a mother who made her three- or four-year-old child run errands. She said she wanted to train the child's self-discipline and autonomy, but after the child set off, she couldn't help but follow behind. When she saw the child fall down, she immediately gave up the idea of training the child.

Yes, this is a mother who spoils her child.

"Freya, I think what you're doing is wrong."

"Shut up, I know, you don't need to remind me."

Freya's emotions inevitably become somewhat irritable whenever she talks about this shortcoming. She knows very well that she shouldn't spoil the Valkyrie too much or overprotect them, but when she really criticizes the Valkyrie, Freya feels very reluctant.

Freya poured a great deal of emotion into Valkyrie who witnessed her growth, those who grew alongside her, and Valkyrie she watched grow.

"I'm sorry, Theresa, I was a little harsh."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. You and Rita had better not have a child, otherwise you'll definitely spoil the child."

Theresa's eye twitched. She felt that given the progress of the Alliance's research department, Freya and Rita might want to have a child soon.

Given Freya's doting on the Valkyrie, her child with Rita will most likely be spoiled into a little devil.

Although Theresa, as the nominal older sister, really wanted a niece, she didn't want her niece to be spoiled and ruined, considering the practical situation.

"Lady Theresa, you are overthinking it... If Lord Freya had children, she certainly wouldn't spoil them so much."

Rita said firmly, her eyes closed.

Seeing her so confident, Theresa almost believed her. She rolled her eyes, speechless at the person's blatant lie.

In order not to lie through one's teeth, he simply closed his eyes. The lie he told was so blatant that even Theresa wouldn't believe it.

Feeling that Rita was making fun of her, Freya simply focused her attention on the battlefield. When she saw a Valkyrie being lifted up by Honkai Beast's spear and then fall to the ground with a minor scrape on her face, Freya almost launched a devastating long-range attack on the Honkai Beast.

Originally, I was going to give the Valkyrie a Warlord-class Honkai Beast, but suddenly I froze in fear, sensing a deadly crisis locking onto me.

This caused the Valkyrie to quickly get up and kick the Warlord-class Honkai Beast, turning it and its horse into dust.

This Valkyrie is clearly a magic berserker, the kind who can kick an elite Warlord-class Honkai Beast to obliterate it with a single kick.

Freya naturally knew who this Valkyrie was, and she also knew that the Valkyrie's skill points were a bit off, but who could blame her for being so cute, and having watched her grow up?

Freya's preference for Valkyrie isn't because they're so-called magic classes, but simply because they are Valkyrie. So even if they've misallocated their stat points, she still favors them.

Even though Freya favors Valkyrie, she cannot treat them all equally; she naturally has different levels of affection for Valkyrie.

Rita is Freya's bedmate, so there's no need to explain further. As Valkyrie witnessed her childhood, she is naturally the most likely to receive Freya's favoritism. Next are the Valkyrie are almost the same age as Freya, and lastly are the Valkyrie she watched grow up.

Among these Valkyrie, Freya is closer to the Valkyrie who graduated from the St. Freya Academy, followed by the Valkyrie who graduated from the Senba Academy, since the outstanding students of the Senba Academy are themselves candidates for the St. Freya Academy.

As for the Valkyrie Freya trained for various countries, in Freya's eyes they were not Valkyrie, but warriors of a force, just like the Fusion Warrior.

"Don't be nervous, but the situation is better than you think."

Theresa, who was always in charge of handling political affairs, had little knowledge of the Valkyrie's combat capabilities, which was why her prestige among the Valkyrie was not as high as Freya's. Of course, in terms of popularity, they were about the same.

Freya was more beloved because of her excessive favoritism, but Theresa also earned the respect of the Valkyrie because of her fairness.

Through the images projected on the virtual screen, Theresa witnessed the current strength of the Alliance Valkyrie, which made the former S-rank Valkyrie Theresa somewhat withdrawn.

She felt that one Valkyrie could now take on seven or eight of her.

Especially the Valkyrie, who believes in miracles through sheer force, her simple and brutal firepower can basically turn her into dust.

"However, we should still tell them to be careful. I have a feeling that some of them have lost control of their firepower and have started to destroy the buildings."

"Don't worry, Bianca will manage it well. The city conquest is going even better than we expected... That's good news. Immortal Fu Hua has already started to confront her superego."

"Immortal Fu Hua? I hope she can win. By the way, what about the Herrscher team?"

Theresa was initially worried about the Valkyrie's excessive damage output, but now, upon hearing about the fifth battlefield that was about to open in the consciousness space, she couldn't help but worry about that immortal.

Then she asked about the things she cared about.

"I've already arranged for Mei and the others to deal with the ocean Honkai Beast ... Even if we destroy the Honkai Consciousness's signal tower now, Jana won't be able to influence the ocean Honkai Beast. The highest command issued by the Honkai Consciousness cannot be canceled at all. I'm afraid they will fight until the last Honkai Beast."

Freya was just congratulating herself on the excellent progress of the campaign on the moon when an unexpected incident occurred in the battle for control of Penglai Si Jiuxiao.

At that moment, Welt's voice rang out on the executive communication channel.

"Something's happened. Penglai Si Jiuxiao has contracted new Honkai disease and is about to die."

"???" ×N

Huh??

527. She suddenly came back to life—no, it was a final burst of energy before death.

The seemingly prophetic Penglai Si Jiuxiao is about to die from new Honkai disease.

This situation left Freya and the others somewhat bewildered. Not to mention that the city where Penglai Si Jiuxiao was located was in the far east, the alliance, based in Changkong City, would naturally not allow any Honkai Disease to spread on its homeland.

The Far Eastern government deeply resented the alliance that had seized Changkong City through trickery and coercion, but the benefits brought by the alliance's presence in Changkong City made the Far Eastern government feel that it was really worth it.

Even though renting Changkong City felt like renting out a foreign country, the first power to benefit from Freya's popularization of preventative and therapeutic drugs was the Far East.

While various countries are vigorously mining Honkai crystal, causing a large number of people to contract new Honkai disease, the Far East government can only be envious.

After all, the newly formed Honkai crystal within the Far East had been completely mined out by the Alliance, and given the Alliance's influence over the local area, the citizens of the Far East followed the Alliance's guidance and took preventative measures.

This is why, while other countries have reported cases of the new Honkai disease, there has not been a single case in the Far East.

It's not that the profits from the new Honkai crystal aren't significant enough; it's just that with the Alliance acting like a rogue state, the Far Eastern government simply can't reach out and get a piece of those profits.

In theory, there is no source of infection for the new Honkai disease within the Far East government. Given the Alliance's control over the customs in the Far East, let alone bringing Honkai crystal into the country, even patients infected with the new Honkai disease would be isolated immediately and given super-dose treatment... Although the Alliance has not yet developed a cure for the new Honkai disease, super-dose treatment can slow down the onset of the new Honkai disease.

"What is going on?"

Not to mention that the Far East is not actually a country within a country, but is about to be usurped by the Alliance, the new Honkai disease cannot be brought to the mainland at all. The incubation period of the new Honkai disease alone is more than half a month, and after the new Honkai disease takes effect, the outbreak period until a person dies is at least three days. But according to Welt's explanation, the Penglai Si Jiuxiao is about to die.

Even most of her skin turned purple from severe Honkai Energy erosion, and Honkai Energy erosion patterns appeared on her skin.

Even the alliance's medical centers are helpless when faced with such patients.

This isn't some kind of late-stage Honkai Sickness; if we had to name it, it would be the so-called "entering the coffin" stage.

It's incurable, there's no hope, just wait to die.

In fact, if a large area of skin on the body, exceeding the size of a washbasin, turns purple, it can basically be thrown directly into a coffin and then a professional team can be hired to carry it away; moreover, almost half of the skin of Penglai Si Jiuxiao had turned purple.

Freya's question went unanswered, as the battle for control of the Penglai Si Jiuxiao had already officially begun.

Carrying a girl whose breathing could stop for more than ten seconds at any moment, Welt retreated to the outskirts while setting up Imaginary Barrier.

He did not expect that the coalition of various countries would actually open fire in the city, while the Far Eastern government could only condemn the actions of the various countries.

Clearly, the Far Eastern government's top brass are too eager for the benefits of the new Honkai crystal, and for that reason, they have to kick the Alliance out.

With the alliance gradually seizing control of the country, the Far Eastern government's armed forces consisted only of its own homeland defense forces, and Freya didn't even train Valkyrie for the Far Eastern government.

If the Far Eastern government wants a share of the spoils after the battle for Penglai Si Jiuxiao, it must tacitly approve the Allied forces' invasion of its homeland.

"Those idiots!"

The communicator signal was jammed, and Welt could guess without hesitation that the Illuminati was behind this coalition.

Only this organization, which operates in the shadows and manipulates the world, could bring out the Previous Civilization technology of the Anti-Alliance.
