I am the former civilized hero.

There was no one, but a crimson cloud, as if it were a cloud lit by flames.

Chapter 271 Prey and Hunter Combination

The sea was surging with pale waves, and in the blink of an eye, the battlefield, which had been extremely violent just now, instantly became quiet.

The flying disc was spurting out tail flames. The black-armored warrior was holding a rather cool rifle. He looked at the sea for more than ten seconds before pressing the button on his neck.

Wow.

The mask fell apart, revealing a rather childish face, she looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with light blue hair, purple eyeshadow and purple lipstick making her look a little weird.

But her slightly chubby face was expressionless, like a cold doll.

"The Key of God hits, the target is silenced, there is no Honkai energy or life reaction."

There was not much fluctuation in his voice. If it weren't for the sweat that had already stuck his bangs to his forehead, one would have thought he had not participated in the fierce battle.

"Froya, are you sure?" Calis's voice came from the communicator, and it sounded very solemn.

He watched the entire battle, and his only feeling was that Ryan was ridiculously strong. He basically single-handedly fought against the Fire Moth with more than 60% of its combat power. He almost had to go into battle himself.

If Alicia and others participate, no, even if only two of them come, it is possible to change the world.

"uncertain."

The girl's answer made him feel nervous, and he blurted out, "Then find a way to confirm it."

"Wayne has already taken people there." Froya watched a group of companions jump into the sea, then slowly raised her head: "But they are here, and I don't have time to confirm."

On the horizon, the fire clouds were becoming more and more obvious, and an even more terrifying Herrscher was approaching, but there was no hatred or fear in the girl's eyes. She just felt that it was too coincidental that he came so soon after her death, without even a chance to check.

She stayed in the air, not saying a word, just quietly waiting for orders.

In fact, she didn't need to tell him. A terrible shadow had already appeared on the big screen of the Minerva bridge. Under the monitoring of Skynet, a vortex cloud was approaching, which looked like the eye of a storm.

Not only did the Herrscher come, but he also came at the right time. After a night of fighting, one-fifth of the city was reduced to ruins, and the gathered fusion warriors were all exhausted, making people wonder if Ryan had made some kind of deal with the Herrscher and really became a traitor.

But just as this thought came to mind, two friendly force identification signals appeared on the screen.

"This is...Captain Kevin and Miss Alicia!"

CIC's excited tone reached Calis' ears, making him smile as if to expect it.

How could that man make a deal with the Herrscher? In order to guard against potential dangers, he actually let these two people stay on the periphery.

It was obvious that they participated and could have attacked the underground last night. It was obvious that with them there, no one could have stopped them.

Thinking of this, he frowned, always feeling that it was too great and illogical, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't find the answer.

"You are truly great, full of a spirit of sacrifice and a sense of mission. It's a pity that those selfish people don't consider your difficulties."

His smile turned into a mocking one, and he pressed the communication button: "End the search, come back with Wayne, and don't get dragged into the battle."

"Sir, we should gather our forces now and go up to fight with Miss Alicia!"

As soon as Calis finished speaking, the adjutant's voice of objection rang out. Because the voice was so loud, everyone on the bridge turned around together, and every face was filled with incomprehension.

This is not right. The situation has not reached the end of its rope yet. There is no point in sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight.

Despite being questioned by everyone, Calis was not panicked and explained calmly: "The Herrscher's arrival was just a coincidence. Who knows if those two were acting? If they were in the same group as the Herrscher, wouldn't we all be wiped out in an instant?"

"Ms. Alicia will never betray me..."

"Yes! Take a look at the ruins below. This was not created by the Herrscher. Even if there is a misunderstanding, we cannot act rashly before we thoroughly investigate it."

"But......"

"Follow orders. Our mission is to ensure the safety of the parliament. And think about it, if the poisonous pupa and the remaining fusion warriors are completely destroyed, the remaining ones will be powerless to resist. Do you want human civilization to end today?!"

There is no need to say more at this point. No one can bear this responsibility. Even the most passionate people have to calm down.

"But we can't explain to the soldiers."

The opposition still exists, but it has become weaker.

Calis smiled as if everything was under control: "They will understand. If not, I will explain it myself. Besides, we are not running away, we are just reorganizing. Once we find out that the Herrscher has nothing to do with Dr. Ryan, we will come out to support him immediately. This is the most rational choice."

His words were flawless, and seeing that there was no more objection, he glanced at the vast ocean, a trace of worry flashed across his face, which he then forced to cover up with a smile.

"Notify all troops to gather on this ship, retreat steadily, and defend the core area first!"

The Herrer won't listen to anyone, and is not in the plan. What can I do?

"What? An order to retreat?"

Vinal received the order with a look of disbelief. The Herrscher was right there, and it seemed that Miss Alicia had already gone up to fight. How could he retreat?

Not only him, all the fusion warriors looked at each other in bewilderment. Up to now they didn't know why they were fighting, they were just mechanically following orders.

Besides, even if someone believed that Dr. Ryan had betrayed her, it would be difficult to question Miss Alicia.

How could that person join forces with the Herrscher? And what the hell is going on up there? Such a powerful force was saved until the very end. If it had come a few hours earlier, Ryan would not have been able to reach the city center at all.

Rather than being a defender, the poison pupa is more like a reaper.

"Captain, what should we do now?" Kosmo's face was gloomy. He didn't believe that Ryan could be beaten away like this.

"We are no longer capable of participating in the battle. Besides, today's battle is inexplicable, and I have no interest in fighting to the death. Let's retreat and see what's going on."

Kosmo moved his lips, but seeing his exhausted companions, he had no choice but to remain silent.

Was this battle caused by Dr. Ryan's aggressiveness or the unreasonableness of the Fire Council? How did the Herrscher arrive on time?

Similar questions lingered in everyone's mind, and just when everyone was feeling uneasy, a provocative voice sounded.

"Let's not go to the Minerva. Let's go directly to the ground headquarters and wait for orders."

The soldiers in the ruins turned their heads and saw a blond young man with a tired face.

Coleman came, his beautiful and sexy purple suit was wrinkled and he looked very embarrassed. This man disappeared in the second half of the fight last night, but the other three upper-level fusion warriors were frozen into ice sculptures. His words were very important.

"But the command is..."

"Who cares? Don't forget that I am the commander-in-chief of the battle. Besides, now that the Herrscher has appeared, the first priority is to recover our strength as soon as possible and prepare for a defensive battle." Coleman was very serious, no longer as cheerful as usual.

Still no one took action and everyone was a little at a loss. At this moment, Werner took the initiative to move forward.

"I agree with the major. Kosmo, take some people to move the ice sculptures of the three Excellencies away."

The chief commander and deputy commander reached a consensus, and no one said anything now. After all, they were all orders, and it didn't matter whose orders were executed.

The crowd dispersed, and Coleman and Werner looked at each other. Since they belonged to different departments, they had never met before, but at this moment they saw recognition in each other's eyes.

In the chaos, Coleman suddenly waved his hand, then turned and left, while Werner remained motionless for a long time, his pupils contracted with some shock and some relief.

With the eyesight of a fusion warrior, he had already seen an ice-blue stone in the other person's palm, emitting energy fluctuations similar to the ice last night.

That is, the Herrscher Core!

......

"Hehe, Ying and the others have already started."

After the crew took refuge, the tanker drifted like a ghost. On the deck, Alicia put her hands behind her back, walked briskly, and played with the valve with great interest.

The white-haired young man glanced at her and looked at the approaching clouds of fire in the sky. "According to what Dr. Mobius said, Major Andevich should take action. According to the plan, he should contact Major Coleman and use their friendship and the corpse of the Herrscher to persuade him."

"Plus, several other fusion warriors will be taken care of by Ryan. In this way, an important force can be kept neutral. Hey, are you listening?"

Kevin's lips were dry from talking, and he was furious when he saw Alicia step back in fear from the gushing oil.

"I'm listening, it's a great plan, worthy of their thought." The girl nodded perfunctorily, then jumped in front of Kevin and looked at him carefully with her hands behind her back.

"what are you doing?"

"Kevin, are you a little nervous?"

The young man's eyes twitched. The powerful Seventh and Sixth Herrschers, who he had never seen before, were so close to him. He would be surprised if he wasn't nervous, so he took a half step back.

"For one thing, I'm more worried about Mei. She's inside the headquarters, and she can't protect herself." Kevin clenched his fists, his whole body trembling slightly. If Ryan hadn't stopped him, he would have gone to the meeting alone.

If they can't win, they can run away at any time. Mei is the most dangerous. If those people are related to the Herrscher and betray humanity, they will definitely kill her.

When Kevin thought about Mei not being around and seeing her covered in blood, he became filled with murderous intent.

Alicia could sense the concern and patted Kevin on the shoulder in a condescending manner: "Don't worry, Ryan planned the whole thing. Didn't he guarantee that nothing would happen to Mei?"

"But this difficulty..."

"Don't you believe him?"

Kevin looked at Alicia, who looked relaxed, and was stunned for a long time. Then he nodded as if he had made up his mind.

"letter."

"That's all, trust him and finish our work. Hmm, I haven't fought with the Herrscher for a long time." Alicia jumped away briskly, doing chest expansion exercises, "Why are you still standing there? I don't want to wait until Hua and the others arrive to solve the problem."

At the moment of the battle, all plans were already launched. Kevin didn't know how many steps the plan was divided into, but as Alicia said -

Roaring flames fell from above his head, as if to submerge the entire ocean. The white-haired young man stood solemnly like a javelin and raised his fist.

Trust Ryan and do your job well.

..............

It finally started.

At the same time, deep underground, the lens reflected the data on the screen.

It was very noisy outside, but Mei was still summarizing the observation data of imaginary space, as if it had nothing to do with anything.

She didn't need to ask about the situation. The roller coaster-like Honkai reaction had already given her an idea. Combined with the intelligence she had monitored, she could even summarize the plan:

The first step is to start a war with an aggressive attitude. The council's orders can be carried out by the fusion warriors, but the reasons are not sufficient.

The second step is to use the strongest force to launch a surprise attack, but the speed must not be too fast, so as to force those people to show their trump cards.

The third step, if the Herrscher comes, they will find a way to escape, and then let Alicia stop them, because the Herrscher is their master, these people will never attack with all their strength, and are more likely to find an excuse to sit back and watch.

The fourth step is to take advantage of the confusion of the fusion warriors and have Andvich appear with the body of the Herrscher, so that they can remain neutral and prepare for the subsequent control of the entire Fire Moth.

Step 5…

Mei thought about this and slowly took off her glasses. She didn’t know what to do next, but at least everything went smoothly up to this point, which was also amazing.

This has nothing to do with IQ, but more about the control over human nature.
