Honkai Impact: Star Railway: I'm really not a Star God!

"We have thoroughly inspected the defenses, and there are no problems at any point along the line. My soldiers and I have checked every part of the city wall, and apart from the black marks left by the artillery fire, there is no damage whatsoever. It is truly a miracle left by the builders of the city, which allowed us to hold our ground under such harsh conditions."

After listening to Silvermane Lieutenant's words, Jepard looked at the map in disbelief, rehearsing one possibility after another in his mind, but he rejected them one by one.

"How could...the attack just stop like that?"

He was still somewhat dazed by the sudden cessation of the long-standing war, but his adjutant told him that it was true, and the monsters had indeed stopped attacking.

However, as the highest-ranking commander on the front lines, he immediately shook his head, reminding himself that he needed to remain vigilant at all times.

"You immediately send out a small team to search three kilometers outside the artillery's coverage area to prevent these monsters... from gathering strength."

"Roger that, sir!"

After Silvermane Lieutenant left, Jepard looked at the giant shield on his desk.

He didn't know how long this giant shield had been with him. He still remembered the scene when Cocolia gave him this giant shield. He smiled slightly and stroked the giant shield as if it were an old friend.

"Landau's will... will never end."

......

Outside the artillery barrage area, a group of Silvermane Iron Guards cautiously advanced, looking after each other, accompanied by an equal number of automated machine soldiers.

The automated machine soldiers scout ahead, while the others gather information from behind.

To ease the oppressive atmosphere, one of the guards said in a low voice.

"How long has it been since we last came here?"

"I don't know... I don't even know how long this battle has lasted... Maybe... three years? Five years?"

"You've only been in the army for three years, haven't you?"

"That was...said by a close friend of mine."

The atmosphere seemed to grow even heavier, but the silver-maned lieutenant didn't stop them because... what they said was indeed true.

Even though it was only three kilometers away... they had no idea how long it took them.

As time went by, three kilometers... four kilometers... five kilometers...

Along the way, apart from the earth cracking for unknown reasons, there were only a few weak monsters lingering beside the cracks.

The cracks still exist, but the monster legions seem to have vanished into thin air.

They advanced all the way to Yongdong Ridge, as marked on the map, where the Silver Mane Iron Guards stopped. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery around them, the Silver Mane adjutant couldn't contain his joy.

The monster has vanished!

After an unknown amount of time, thunderous cheers erupted from the previously lifeless front line.

A special type of automaton carrying crucial intelligence sped toward Fort Kripper.

A great victory at the front!

Chapter 79: So tired I was hallucinating.

March 7th slept soundly and comfortably at the Rand's house. This time, she really slept well.

Before, I had to worry about this and that, but now I'm sleeping directly at the Great Guardian's house, so what's there to be afraid of?

"Wake up! How can someone your age sleep well?"

"Um...?"

Groaning in a daze, March 7th slowly opened her eyes and saw Xing, who had already changed her clothes, pointing at her.

What the heck... these days people can't even get a good night's sleep?

"Wake up! Have you forgotten about the front lines in Belloborg? The longer we linger here, the more dangerous it will be for the soldiers on the front lines! Hurry up and deal with the star core; Himeko said we'd get a few days off!"

"Hmm...hmm?! Then hurry up and take care of it!"

Suddenly, she sat up in bed and looked at the stars with a determined gaze.

It's all the Star Core's fault; it prevented her from getting a good night's sleep the entire way.

They can leave whenever they want, and with Ling Kong here too, the four of them don't believe they can't handle the star core!

"Dong dong dong."

A knock came from behind her. Bronya leaned against the door, trying to ease the tension that was about to escalate.

"Don't be nervous. News just came from the front. Although we don't know the exact truth, at least for now... there's no need to rush. The monsters outside the defense line have stopped attacking... and disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

Outside the door, Dan Heng asked in astonishment.

"Yes, they all disappeared. The Silvermane Iron Guards pressed forward all the way to Yongdong Ridge until they were stopped by a terrifyingly large rift. Apart from a few newly spawned monsters wandering around, the entire monster army... vanished overnight."

"It sounds... I'm having a hard time deciding whether this news is good or bad. Is it impossible to detect what's behind the crack?"

"There's absolutely no way. This huge crack has severed the path to the top of Yongdong Ridge. If we want to find another way... there are flying monsters in the sky, and it would be too risky for our warriors to climb to the top."

"Hopefully... things are moving in a positive direction."

"I also hope that."

......

After a night of heart-to-heart talks, Cocolia stroked Bronya's slightly immature cheek, a tear glistening in her eye.

My own child... has finally grown up.

Moreover, Bronya was originally groomed to be the next High Warden, and as the commander of the Silvermane Iron Guard, she already had enough prestige in the military.

Next... is to do something big enough, something that will be celebrated nationwide and change history.

In this way, Bronya's prestige among the people will skyrocket.

It just so happens that... there are quite a few stubborn individuals she's long disliked.

There are also monsters like the fake humans hiding in Beloborg, which is extremely dangerous.

Thankfully... that man was there.

However, when she thought about how she was almost forty, Cocolia shook her head, clearing her mind of the wandering thoughts. As a Great Guardian, she shouldn't have these sentimental feelings; at least, she was still a Great Guardian.

"Whew~ Are you all ready, members of the Star Core Sightseeing Group?"

Take care of your business and pack your things.

Ling Kong stood at the very front of the line. He glanced at the team behind him and nodded in satisfaction.

What defines a top-tier team? This is top-tier!

Even the star core would be confused upon seeing this.

Following behind Bronya, Seele asked.

"Once we defeat this thing called the Star Core, the cold wave problem will be solved, right?"

"Theoretically speaking, that's the case. Our monitoring and current information both indicate that the star's core is located at the top of Everwinter Ridge."

Dan Heng was the first to respond.

Nodding in acknowledgment, Seele turned to Bronya.

She never imagined that she would one day be involved in such an operation.

If the star core is destroyed, the people in the lower zones will be saved.

People can...live better.

"Bronya...then, the children of the lower districts...will be able to see the light."

"Seele, I promise you, it will happen."

Bronya held Seele's hand, her voice filled with determination.

"Ready? Let's go. This is the Beloborg Star Core Expedition Team, or... the Everwinter Ridge Star Core Sightseeing Tour."

With a wave of his hand, a small red flag appeared in mid-air. Walking at the front of the group, he paid no attention to the strange looks behind him.

Today's levitation was also strange and baffling.

"Please keep up, everyone, hand in hand. We might be moving a little fast."

Although they were puzzled about what Ling Kong was going to do, everyone listened to him and lined up hand in hand.

After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Cocolia, who was watching from the second floor, and called out.

“Cocolia, you should come too. It’s nothing serious. Just think of it as going out for a walk. I think it would be a shame if this scene wasn’t witnessed by a prominent figure.”

"Then, I shall respectfully comply."

Once everyone had gathered, Ling Kong turned around and closed the door to the Lande family villa, then took Dan Heng's hand.

After all, he and Danheng were the only two men in the group.

Although Danheng was very unwilling, he had no choice but to hand over his hand.

Ling Kong smiled slightly, reopened the closed door, and the next moment, everyone disappeared from the spot.

Sebastian, left to guard the house, looked completely bewildered.

What about people? !

Wasn't anything prepared?!

It was just holding hands... how did they all disappear in an instant!

......

On the front lines of the ancient battlefield, in the command center, Jepard sat in a chair, his expression a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Although he was secretly pleased that the monsters from the Rift hadn't attacked for a day, but...

As a commander, he cannot draw conclusions based on superficial information. This is a quality a commander should possess before everything is definitively concluded.

Suddenly, the tent in front of him was lifted, and a strangely dressed, distinctive man appeared before him, with a game behind him that resembled one that children in the upper district liked to play.

A group of people stood in a line, holding hands, like a tram.

The key point is that he also saw many very familiar faces among this group of people.
