I am the former civilized hero.

Rush forward, explode all authority and core together, and turn into a black hole to devour everything!

But reason stopped this impulse. He did not have the slightest sentiment of a hero cherishing another hero. He just made a rough calculation and found that the success rate of doing so was too low, because as long as that man stretched out his hand, all the soldiers on the battlefield would rush over and stand in front of him without hesitation.

Even if we call upon several of them, the success rate will not exceed 30%.

The Herrscher stopped, and an invisible mental wave swept across the entire battlefield. The Honkai beasts that were still resisting retreated like a tide without any hesitation or unwillingness.

There was no melodrama, no need for communication. Some of them immediately stayed behind to cover the retreat, using their flesh and blood to resist the pursuing humans, while others turned around and left. They would not stop for a moment if their companions were hit by shells, and those who were injured would not feel any resentment, but would "voluntarily" stay behind to cover the retreat.

"We have to retreat, and retreat very quickly. This is terrible, these toys are broken." Calis also noticed this abnormality. He has been fighting in the fringe areas with the rebellious fusion warriors and would never rush forward headlessly.

However, the Honkai Beasts and Pseudo-Herrschers retreated too quickly and decisively, which made those who were "slacking off" stand out. Hen immediately seized the opportunity and brought two teams to entangle them.

Anger and murderous intent could be heard from afar. Compared to the endless Honkai beasts, traitors like them seemed particularly rare, but Calis was not panicked.

"Let's retreat too, and let those brainless cannon fodders take over. They don't have much durability anyway."

He gave the order coldly. These forcibly transformed fusion warriors were originally residents left behind in the abandoned area. Their bodies were highly mutated, and the biochips also turned them into some kind of dolls.

He over-transformed without any scruples, then rushed forward like a madman, and exploded when he got close.

Columns of smoke rose up, making the vision blurry. Calis did not look at his subordinates who were retreating in panic, but kept his eyes on the burning sky. The light stung his eyes.

From beginning to end, Dr. Ryan did not take any offensive action. He just stood there, overlooking the entire battlefield, but he prevented several Herrschers who were lying in ambush from making a move, thus causing all their plans to fail.

"It's like..." He also turned his head and hid in the shadow of the jungle, like a rat hiding in a sewer. He never looked back, as if he didn't want to be hurt by the light again.

"A blazing sun!"

Chapter 352 Let’s go home!

The blazing sun was in the sky, illuminating the battlefield and dispersing all evil spirits.

In addition to the corpses scattered all over the ground, the frenzy of destruction that had been so breathtaking just now quickly faded away, faster than when it came, and except for the Ninth Herrscher, the other three Herrschers did not show up.

Win? Win just like that?!

Most people couldn't believe their eyes. There was clearly no concept of "morale" in Honkai, and there were clearly tens of thousands of them. The Herrscher, who made people worry, hadn't even appeared. Yet they came in such a torrent, and then receded like a tide, giving a feeling of a strong start but a weak finish.

But humans did not stand there in a daze. The data link transmitted information, and each team followed and chased, trying to tear off a piece of flesh as much as possible. Then the first aid team was dispatched urgently to rescue the wounded in the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

The fleet reunited, ammunition was replenished, and a reserve force was sent out to take over the pursuit. Everything was in perfect order. Of course, all this had nothing to do with Ryan. All the orders were conveyed by dedicated people, and he only needed to hold the flag in the air.

But no one dared to treat him as a mascot, because as long as this man was here, the fading Honkai would not dare to come back.

"Hua, I think I understand your distress." Alicia stood on a piece of floating debris, her combat suit slightly damaged, and she was looking up at the sky.

The golden light filled the field of vision, and because it was too dazzling, people subconsciously wanted to look away.

Hua held the double-headed sword and stepped on the ice, rising and falling on the sea, gasping for breath. He was obviously much more tired than Alicia.

The tight combat suit was torn into pieces, and the blood from the wounds dyed her fair skin red. The Honkai energy was almost exhausted, making it impossible for her to hold the Key of God in her hand.

The Key of God itself releases powerful energy, which can frostbite the holder, but Ke Hua just won't let go, like a persistent piece of wood, ignoring the pain, just wanting to hold tightly to the gift Ryan gave him.

"His radiance is truly dazzling. You're afraid that you'll never see it again if you close your eyes, right?" Alicia said as she gently took the Key of God, spinning it in her hand like a crystal scepter.

"Well, I will never allow this to happen, so I will fight to the last moment and unleash all the strength of this body!" Hua was still half-kneeling on the ground. When the battle was most intense just now, she almost crossed the line.

Indeed, the Honkai beasts here are no match for her, but the battlefield is not an arena. Large amounts of consumption will make people weaker and weaker. Even Ryan himself does not dare to say that he is invincible.

"Okay, okay, your stubborn personality is really cute."

"cute?"

"Of course it's cute." Alicia nodded solemnly, then put her hand on her lips, a little amused: "But have you ever thought that Ryan's splendor is not only aimed at you, but also makes me feel a sense of crisis, so why are you in a hurry?"

Hua, who was always stubborn, was stunned for a moment, blinked continuously, and found that he had indeed overlooked an important issue.

She was afraid of being left behind, afraid of becoming a burden, and she was not the only one whose eyes were hurt by the dazzling light. At least she just wanted to catch up with Ryan, not surpass him.

Yes, there should be someone who feels worse than me!

"This bastard is really good at pretending."

On the Minerva deck, Mebius tilted her long neck. Because the distance was too close, she could feel the heat of the air. The firelight also made her eyes itchy. As she watched, she pursed her lips.

You annoying guy, where can I put my face when you are so powerful?

She had tried her best just now, and several high-level Honkai beasts were unable to approach the battleship. She even created a green lightning storm, tearing the sky into pieces. However, before she could feel proud for long, Ryan suddenly jumped out and waved a flag above her head, and that position happened to be right above her own head.

This was very infuriating, because as soon as Ryan appeared, before any attack was even possible, the situation on the battlefield changed immediately. The Herrscher, who was ready to make a move, immediately retreated with his men, handing over the battlefield to the enemy.

As Hua thought, Mebius's purpose of leaving the laboratory was not simple. He wanted to help Ryan, but more importantly, he wanted to regain his pride. For example, he wanted Ryan to humbly learn his fighting skills. If that was the case, he could reluctantly show some kindness.

For example, if he is suppressed by the Herrscher and is in a tough battle, you can act like a god and rescue him, then you can give him some suggestions.

When he thought about all these scenes becoming a bubble, he couldn't help but stamp his feet lightly.

"What a shame! He ran away when he saw him!"

"What are you talking about, Mebius?"

A cold voice suddenly came into his ears, scaring Mebius so much that he jumped up. He turned his head quickly and found Ryan in a suit standing behind him. He couldn't help but look up and saw that the light in the sky was still there.

"Don't look at it. I can remotely control the authority. The battle is still in its final stages. We can't relax." Ryan said calmly, then frowned, "You don't look very happy?"

"Who said I'm unhappy? A great victory, well, everyone should be happy." Mebius didn't dare to tell the truth, otherwise he would be the one to be ashamed. He glanced at Ryan and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him turning his gaze to the battlefield.

"Are you okay?"

"I just set off a flash bomb, what can happen?" Ryan answered without turning his head, but his expression was very serious.

He saw the battlefield return to order from chaos, leaving only large pieces of wreckage and corpses, humans and Honkai beasts all mixed together. The ground in the battle area almost became the surface of the moon, with dense craters all over.

Aerial shuttles were constantly traveling back and forth, carrying in reinforcements and bringing back the wounded, while some machinery was also dropped into the occupied areas. These were modular materials manufactured by Vilvi, and a fortress could be built in a short period of time.

Finally won.

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief. The scale of this first battle was large, but the intensity was not as terrifying as he had imagined. At least the most powerful forces of both sides were not deployed.

"Are you not happy about winning? Not many people died." Mebius suddenly interrupted.

Because of Mei's proper coordination and the multi-level command of each detachment, there were many casualties, but the proportion of casualties was very small. After all, the battle line was not broken, and as long as they were not killed instantly, they could always be protected by their teammates and retreat to the back.

"The casualty statistics haven't come out yet, but I estimate that no more than fifty fusion warriors were killed, and there were only about two to three thousand ordinary soldiers."

"so?"

"This is something to be happy about, but the collapse was too abrupt, which is worrying."

Mobius immediately understood that violent enemies are not scary, but those who can seamlessly switch between violence and calmness are very scary. In the final analysis, whether it is Pseudo-Hermaphrodites or Honkai Beasts, they are basically no-cost businesses.

"You wanted to take this opportunity to kill one or two Herrschers?"

"Almost. It's a pity that they didn't give me the chance. If they retreat like this, I can't chase them anymore." Ryan answered slowly, and in an instant, his serious expression relaxed.

"It doesn't matter. As long as the strategic goal is achieved, it's fine. This is a nail in the doorway. There will be plenty of opportunities to fight in the future. This is just the beginning."

Looking at the cheers rising from all over the battlefield, Ryan, who was overlooking the battlefield, seemed very grim. The victory in the battle did boost morale, but it was the beginning of a series of bloody wars of attrition.

Without them, it would be difficult for me to defeat the Ninth Herrscher.

Ryan recognized the value of the Fire Moth. Even in a fair duel, he would be evenly matched with the Ninth Herrscher, not to mention the three other Herrschers. But with him as the backbone, only one-third of the power was needed to force the terrifying Honkai Army to retreat.

Unfortunately, before the end, the collapse cannot be eradicated, and Ryan cannot use all his combat power to flatten South America, because it is meaningless and will only attract more terrifying Herrschers, and then the cycle will continue endlessly.

"This will be a good place to constantly bleed the Honkai and constantly temper the human army. Countless squad battles will be carried out in this jungle. The blood will remove impurities from the army and leave the strongest warriors." Ryan whispered to himself and said all the rest of the words. He suddenly turned his head and said, "Mobius, do you think this is cruel? I can obviously gather thirteen detachments to sweep South America."

"There's no point in doing that. The Herrscher won't accept the challenge. They're not stupid. On the contrary, hiding is the most troublesome. The 'Wandering Humans' plan has just begun. If the Herrscher conducts guerrilla warfare everywhere, the thirteen detachments can only save one continent at most." Mobius was very smart and understood Ryan's choice, so he spread his hands.

"Killing is actually okay. What I fear most is that the Honkai Warriors will suddenly disappear one day, just like they came here inexplicably."

It's more than just scary, it's simply terrifying.

Ryan felt that if he woke up one day and found that all the destruction in the world had disappeared, it would either be due to the power of the Ruler of Consciousness or the prelude to the end.

"The punch you throw isn't scary, what's scary is when you pull it back. The next time you throw it, you don't know how much force it will have."

"So we can't be too relaxed, but we can't push too hard either?"

"Well, if it's too tight, the Ninth Herrscher will be in trouble. If they all die, perhaps a Herrscher who changes the rules of the game will be sent down."

"Like what authority?"

"Make the Honkai energy ineffective and sweep all the things we have worked hard to develop into the trash."

Mobius' pupils shrank slightly. Without Honkai energy, the value of fusion warriors would plummet, and technology would regress to the level before the First Herrscher. The frenzy just now could submerge everything in an instant.

However, she still felt that Ryan was thinking too much. This was too shameless, and the Herrscher himself would also be disturbed.

"They won't take any risks until they've exhausted the Herrscher to the point where he can't bear it anymore." Mobius put his hands in his pockets, knowing that bleeding would take time. He looked at the cold man and said, "I think you should go back to the Golden Courtyard."

"It's really time to take a break. It feels terrible to see blood all over the place." Ryan retracted his gaze and smiled subconsciously, letting the remaining coldness gradually dissipate.

"Let's go home first."

Chapter 4: Alicia's Battle Plan (K)

After half a day of fierce fighting, a corner of the South American continent that extended into the Atlantic Ocean collapsed, which was of great significance from any perspective.

This was the first time that humans faced off against Honkai directly, unlike previous exterminations of Herrscher or large-scale cleanup operations.

The two sides were in a fairly balanced state, sending large numbers of troops to engage in frontal combat, and the quality of the troops was extremely high. It was also the first time that the newly born Fire Moths roared.

The worst of the Honkai beasts are the large tank types, and those low-level assault types don't even have the qualifications to participate. The human side also has a large number of fusion warrior supermen, and even the Herrscher and the Fire Moth Commander appeared on the battlefield.

The most peculiar thing is that, as far as most people can remember, this is the first time that the Herrscher appeared and did not launch an attack. At least on the surface, it seemed that this mythical monster was actually scared away.

The collapse is just like this, and the situation is very good. So some people are wondering why in such a favorable situation, people have to be transported to Mu Continent and Shenzhou by shiploads. Shouldn't they press on to win the victory, first eliminate South America, the biggest cancer, and then clean up the world to give everyone a pure and blue world?

In fact, the strategic significance is exactly the opposite of what they think. Ryan wants to use a nail to attract the attention of the Law Master, otherwise how can he transport those people from Europe here.

Only by concentrating the population can he face the end without worries. Otherwise, if he really reaches the densely populated area, he will not be able to destroy it wantonly.

Fortress construction, troop rotation, personnel transportation, refugee resettlement, material allocation...

Each item is enough to make one's head spin, involving military, civil affairs and so on, but these are none of Ryan's business. The overtime maniac Mei will naturally deal with it. The lights in the entire administrative district have not been turned off for several days in a row.

"I just need to stand up and act as a mascot at the critical moment. This is the final benefit." Ryan sat comfortably in the recliner, enjoying the artificial sunlight and drinking a sip of juice through a straw.

That's right. I have to fight desperately, plan and deal with various affairs. So why do I need to chase the fire moth? I might as well be a hero and fight for my life in the Final Battle, which will be worthy of my identity as a human being.

"That's right. Professional issues should be handled by professionals. That's what Mei said." Alicia clapped her hands lightly, appearing very pleased. Then she saw Ryan raised his upper body and glared at her fiercely.
