Yunduo glanced sideways. The blue-haired captain who had let them in yesterday was rushing over in a panic.
"Stop! It's all a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"
The blue-haired captain was clad in Valkyrie armor, her A-Rank Valkyrie aura manifest.
But looking at Yunduo, who was as enraged as a god, she didn't have the courage to step forward and stop her. She could only try to persuade her anxiously.
"Captain, don't go! She's a Herrscher!"
"The Honkai Energy detection device exceeded its limit. She's definitely a Herrscher."
"It's over, it's all over. Because of the vice-captain's selfishness, we're all going to die here."
"I never thought the first time I'd see a Herrscher would be like this..."
"Sigh, it's too late for anything now."
The blue-haired captain heard the sighs and desperate pleas of the Valkyrie Squad members behind her.
A Herrscher?
She was shocked, her eyes full of disbelief!
What was a Herrscher?
A being that even an S-Rank Valkyrie could not contend with!
The destroyers of human civilization!
Every time a new Herrscher appeared, it meant the deaths of millions!
And yet, such a being had actually appeared in their tiny Changkong Garrison.
They couldn't even stand against that Mimic Herrscher, let alone a complete Herrscher capable of damaging the Honkai detection device!
The moment the Blue-haired Captain looked at Yunduo's face,
she could hardly believe her eyes; it was like a bolt from the blue, or as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her from head to toe, leaving her whole body numb.
She had been fortunate enough to see footage circulated by other Valkyries, though those images were later banned by Schicksal Headquarters.
In the footage, a Valkyrie clad in red armor with silver-white hair killed all the Honkai Beasts with overwhelming force.
Later, this Valkyrie was conferred the title of the fourth S-Rank Valkyrie by Schicksal Headquarters!
Title: Incarnation.
Signifying the burning embers of hope... This had only happened a few days ago, and some Valkyries in remote departments like theirs hadn't received the news yet.
And the person in the footage overlapped with the Yunduo in the Blue-haired Captain's eyes!
She was the fourth S-Rank Valkyrie!
Let alone anyone daring to abuse her friend,
even if the green-haired Nora showed the slightest disrespect, she would be directly arrested by the Valkyrie Inspection Group; in more serious cases, being shot on the spot was no joke.
In Schicksal's eyes, ordinary Valkyries were just consumables!
But at the S-Rank, a qualitative change occurred; it could be said that every S-Rank Valkyrie was a strategic weapon!
They wouldn't let these Valkyries suffer any injustice!
Furthermore, the Blue-haired Captain heard that the reason everything happened was only because Incarnation's friend had infiltrated the base to steal secrets.
But they had already said they had a pass!
It was perfectly reasonable for them to enter, and their branch was even supposed to provide all necessary assistance!
But what about them?
Not only did they think the other party was bluffing, but they also met them with cannon fire and abused their friend.
This wasn't just one person's responsibility.
Once this matter got out, not a single person present would escape.
It wouldn't be as simple as being dismissed; they might even lose their lives in the end!
At this thought, the Blue-haired Captain's expression changed drastically, sweat appearing on her forehead as she said to the terrified Valkyries behind her:
"Shut up, all of you! Vice-Captain Nora offended Lady Incarnation and committed a grave mistake; she deserves death. According to Article 173 of the Valkyrie Management Regulations, Lady Incarnation may handle this as she sees fit!"
"Everyone, kneel down and apologize to Lady Incarnation!"
The Valkyries behind her were thunderstruck, their eyes wide with shock and panic. No wonder her strength could exceed the limits of the detection device!
No wonder that burning flaming sword resembled the rumored Incarnation!
It turns out it was her herself!
It's said that S-Rank Valkyries are the deities and 'white moonlights' ordinary Valkyries yearn for, lofty existences. Many Valkyries have photos of Durandal pasted by their beds, longing to meet her one day.
No one would dare provoke her, let alone harm her friend!
But they actually did it today!
Setting aside the severe punishment, this fact alone caused nearly half of the Valkyries to show expressions of regret.
"We are sorry, please deal with us, My Lady!"
The many Valkyries all knelt down and apologized.
Now, no one was stopping Yunduo anymore.
Not only that, many people looked at the green-haired Nora in her hand with hateful gazes, wishing they could tear her limb from limb.
"Phew~"
Seeing this, Yunduo's expression tightened as she gave the Valkyries behind her a deep look.
These people were unnerved by Yunduo's gaze; some trembled incessantly, nearly fainting.
They were already terrified of her strength before, and now that they knew her identity, the punishment from Schicksal Headquarters was almost unimaginable.
It was likely that few of them would remain intact enough to even be ordinary Valkyries.
"You injured Bronya's legs. As punishment, I will cripple yours. Is there any injustice in this?"
Yunduo held the green-haired Nora, looking at her coldly.
"I... I—cough, I got what I deserved."
Since no one disagreed, Yunduo swung her heavy sword.
In a single thought.
A flash of blood was seen, and the smell of mangled flesh suddenly wafted up.
Having finished, Yunduo dropped the unconscious cripple into the midst of the Valkyrie Squad members.
However, this time, not a single person was willing to go and support her.
Yunduo withdrew her aura, the Honkai Energy returning to her body; with a flash of white light, the weapon disappeared.
She walked toward the outside of the base.
Inside the transport plane, Kiana was accompanying Bronya, while Mei was also worriedly treating her wounds.
Yesterday it was Kiana who was poisoned, and today it was Bronya's turn.
However, Kiana had a good constitution and recovered quickly; for Bronya to return to normal, it probably wouldn't be that simple.
"How is the situation?"
Yunduo came to Kiana's side and asked.
"It's been briefly treated, so there's no immediate danger to her life for now, but the bullet can't be taken out. She needs to go back to St. Freya Academy for treatment. It'll probably take a few months to fully heal."
Mei, beside her, replied anxiously.
A bullet alone wasn't enough to put Bronya's life in danger.
However, she wouldn't be able to carry out the subsequent missions.
"Sister Yunduo... sorry... Bronya can't stay here with you anymore," Bronya apologized with pale lips.
"It's fine. I'll take care of that Mimic Herrscher and Theresa. You just focus on going back and recovering," Yunduo held her palm and said in a steady tone. "As for the person who just hurt you, I've already dealt with her. Schicksal people will come later to follow up, so don't worry."
"..."
After hearing this, the corners of Bronya's mouth curled slightly, and she fell asleep.
Now only three people remained in the Changkong Garrison.
Yunduo looked at Kiana and said seriously, "Now it's time to complete the final mission. The time for the decisive battle has come."
"This time, I won't let her escape again!"
