I am the former civilized hero.

There were clearly traces of fighting, and according to the information from Fire Moth, Latin Castle was attacked in one afternoon. It was because of the fall of this place that they abandoned the entire North Britain.

Something is wrong. Why has this place become an empty city? Even if the Herrscher is here, she wouldn't personally kill the scavengers who broke in.

The more Ryan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He crossed the industrial area and entered the city center, and then he saw that the ruins were even more exaggerated. A twisted iron tower fell to the ground, and the apartment building was leaning to one side. There were traces of high temperature burns on the ground.

N1 bombs, more than one.

There was not a single intact house around, and even the asphalt road was blown up by the shock wave. The charred remains of several giant chariots were left on the ground, and the buildings were empty.

Ryan looked at the map and saw the central square of Latin Castle in front of him. It should have been a bustling commercial center, but only ruins were left.

He was hesitating whether to continue forward, but his eyes fixed and he suddenly lay on the ground with his ears pressed to the ground.

Are they footsteps? Lots of footsteps, right here underground?

Ryan frowned and clicked on the tactical map, which quickly displayed the underground structure of Latin Castle. He then located it according to the time and direction of the vibration.

Underground Railroad, those things are hiding down there!

When the fog was cleared, he said that Latin Castle could not have become a dead city, and then a new fog appeared.

What are they going to do when they move over a large area?

Without time to think, just as the gravel on the ground began to shake, Ryan quickly got up, leaped to the elevator apartment next to him, and then used his hands and feet to climb up the wall to the rooftop of the 30-story building.

He held onto the railing and had a panoramic view of most of the city. Then, at the edge of the city, he saw an object like a black spindle. It was like a drill, tearing a big hole in the ground.

"It's actually an emperor-level Honkai beast, and it's not included in the information of the Fire Moth." Ryan's eyes twitched. This is just the beginning.

The leaden clouds made the day as dark as night. A strange black spindle flew out from the ground, followed by the Emperor of Honkai, the Temple, the Ballista, the Chariot, the Death Soldiers...

Like a geyser, a black tide gushed out from underground. Even with Ryan's observation skills, he couldn't count how many monsters there were at the moment. He could only think of a legendary story.

A Hundred Ghosts at Night?

Inadvertently, the railing had been twisted by him. Ryan watched the black tide split into two, one heading north and the other heading south. A rumbling sound came from afar. Due to the resonance, the already shaky and dangerous building began to collapse.

Various sounds intertwined together, it was like a symphony, Ryan's pupils contracted just by listening to it, but he did nothing. These tens of thousands of enemies, even if they just stood still, were enough to tire him half to death.

It was the first time in the history of Honkai that so many monsters acted at the same time, but Ryan did not feel any pride in witnessing history.

"Where is she? Only a Herrscher can control so many Honkai beasts. Why hasn't she shown up yet?"

Ryan found that it was a complete luxury for him to find her, because there were too many enemies and he couldn't tell them apart at all. He didn't hesitate and immediately turned on the communication system.

"Venar, retreat to the sea immediately. There is a strong tide coming towards you. Be careful to find favorable terrain when retreating."

The first message was sent to the Sword of Punishment. They were being entangled by enemies that they could never kill, and it would not be easy to escape.

"What happened?" Vinar was a little confused. He mustered up the courage to go deep into the quagmire, but why were he suddenly asked to get out?

"You finally poked the hornet's nest and forced them out." Ryan spoke very quickly, and there was no time to explain. "Ying, have you found Varuna?"

"Found it. It's hiding in the sky. It seems to have some kind of invisibility ability."

Ying hid under a rock. The valley was filled with corpses. Just now, an electromagnetic cannon shell flew into the air but was suddenly bounced away.

Of course, the Sword of Punishment, who was fighting hard on the ground, didn't notice it, but she had been observing secretly and caught some clues.

"Varuna is about to strike, give it a hard blow."

"Understood." Ying nodded, pressed her hand on the hilt of the knife, and quietly approached the battlefield.

This is your companion beast. You won't just watch it die in vain at Sakura's hands.

Ryan murmured to himself. He knew that the Herrscher had no humanity and would definitely not rush out for revenge, so he connected to another channel.

"Chief of Staff, how's the situation over there?"

The sound was noisy, and an alarm could be faintly heard, followed by the deep voice of Calis.

"It's terrible. No, it's worse than ever before." The blond man sat in a chair, looking at the high-energy red dots on the giant screen.

A large number of enemies piled together, creating a Honkai concentration effect. At least from the satellite's perspective, the entire Britain was filled with Herrschers and high-level Honkai beasts, especially in the central defense line where they were most concentrated.

Anyone could guess that this was a precursor to a general attack, but the cruising 'White Swan' didn't know where to throw the N1 bombs, and its two tentative attacks were blocked at the periphery.

This was not beyond Ryan's expectations. The Herrschers were not so stupid as to gather together and serve as targets. Perhaps when the strategic bomber flew over, there would be a real Judgment-level Honkai beast.

"What are you going to do?"

"Strike first, break through and carry out covering bombing. Otherwise, with such a scale, the defense line will not be able to stop it at all." Calis has already picked up the phone. Ballistic missiles, aircraft groups and outer space weapons are ready.

"Don't be impatient, wait a moment." As the battle was approaching, Ryan remained unusually calm.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for Sakura to make her move and force her out of her position. Give me five minutes, just five minutes."

Ryan couldn't explain the reason. According to normal logic, the Herrscher must be in the south, preparing to wipe out all of Britain, but he knew that the Herrscher had two purposes.

Three teams of Fire Moths came ashore from the north. One was destroyed, one was besieged, and the remaining one disappeared.

So, is there a possibility that the one who disappeared is Ryan, who wants to carry out a decapitation operation?

From a probabilistic point of view, this is entirely possible. From the most rational point of view, which is more difficult, killing Ryan or wiping out Britain?

It is undoubtedly the former, and the two goals do not conflict with each other. It is impossible for tens of millions of humans to evacuate in a short period of time.

As a fisherman, Ryan smelled the scent of his own kind. This was a test of patience and determination. Whoever couldn't help it first would be the loser.

Just when Calis was silent, Ryan clearly saw that the black tide heading south suddenly stopped, accompanied by Sakura's voice.

"I took action and cut off Varuna's wings."

Listening to his rapid breathing, Ryan stopped thinking and his mouth widened.

"I'm sure the Fourth Herrscher is in the north!"

Chapter 142 You can always trust that man!

Just like a battle array, there are countless tests before two armies start fighting.

Which is the feint and which is the main attack?

This is the core essence of war and the basis for the commander to make judgments. However, when the high-energy source of destruction on the map went north, Calis was a little dazed.

Really changed direction? That doesn't make sense.

If the Herrscher wanted to wipe out Britain, there was no point in targeting the First Squad of the Sword of Punishment. They only needed to entangle them. There was no need to mobilize a large force and act as if they were going to swallow them up in one gulp.

Could it be that the Herrscher has feelings and wants to save his companion beast?

But this is completely contrary to previous research. For an absolutely rational Ruler, even Mu Continent had to use means to prevent the Fire Moths from mobilizing heavy troops in a short period of time, and they finally got a window of opportunity.

Which is more important? Not to mention the Herrisher, even he can make a ruthless decision.

He immediately realized that he was missing a key piece of information, but he just couldn't think of the answer.

"Doctor, how do you know?"

"Intuition." Ryan certainly couldn't tell him the truth, he just stared at the city without blinking.

The frequency of the weeds swaying has not changed. She is still here. Isn't she afraid that the duck at her fingertips will fly away?

So timid? Then I have to raise the stakes.

"Change the attack coordinates and concentrate firepower on the Houkai sources around Latin Castle. Don't worry about whether the Herrscher is here or not. You can't accept the loss of two fusion warrior teams in a row."

Ryan did not talk about justice. Instead, such words made Calis silent. The Fire Moth had spent a lot of effort to form five teams. If nearly half of them were lost and there was no achievement, how would he report to his superiors?

"A round of firepower coverage. I must leave some margin and guard the defense line. After all, this is all your guess."

"Deal." Ryan didn't ask for too much. After all, he was not 100% sure.

If the Herrscher had predicted his prediction and rushed to South Britain, no one would be able to take the blame.

As he looked down at the city and observed the battle, his eyes became sharper.

Let me see, where are you?

......

boom--

There was a piercing sonic boom in the sky, and a vortex streaked across the dark clouds, arriving in front of the cyan "dragon" in the blink of an eye. The air was extremely compressed, forming a pale air wave.

boom! !

A gap was blown open in the clouds, the mountaintop was crushed into powder, and a flower of ice exploded in the sky.

Under the influence of air pressure, these ice fragments swept everywhere like bullets, covering thousands of square meters of ground, making it look like a sparkling forest.

Ed, covered in blood, suddenly raised his head and looked at the Temple-level Honkai Beast above him, lying on its back with icicles all over its back.

As both are fusion fighters, is the difference so huge?

He glanced at the tear on his arm armor, raised his head in horror, and saw waves exploding in the sky, with dozens of white marks crisscrossing.

So fast!

It was a luxury to be able to see clearly. Only occasionally would the swords stop for a moment when they intersected, and then the swords that passed by at high speed would leave behind a straight white line, which made the young man feel a strong desire.

"If I could have this power..."

"Ed, what are you doing? Come over here and support me!"

A roar was heard, and a blonde girl who was exhausted was swallowed by the Honkai beast. Another strong man was trying to pry open the monster's mouth and thrust his body in while roaring.

The young man woke up as if from a dream and ran over to help. The two of them worked together to defeat the Honkai beast. However, when they dragged the girl out, only half of her body remained.

There were no last words. The girl just stared at the sky with her eyes wide open, filled with tears.

The two panting men looked at each other, and the sturdy man only saw that the young man's eyes were wide open, as if tears of blood were flowing out.

He remembered the song Alice sang to him when he joined the team, and the candy she stuffed into his mouth when he was in excruciating pain from the fusion surgery. Then, this anger drove his body, and the power in his chest burst out completely.

"I'm going to kill them all, not even one left alive!!!"

"Captain, Ed has gone crazy again." The sturdy woman raised her hand and rushed into the enemy group in a straight line.

The formation was disrupted in an instant, but with more than half of the people killed or wounded, it didn't matter what the formation was.

Vinal remained silent, having learned a lesson about the power of the Honkai beasts. Their team was powerful enough to deal with the Herrscher, but they would also feel tired.

If that Judgment-level Honkai beast rushed in, everyone would die. He couldn't help but look up at the sky.
