I am the former civilized hero.

Ryan understood at once that reason completely eliminated the panic. He knew that Honkai had fallen into his trap all along, and that he had invested in quantity instead of improving quality to hold back for a big one.

Of course, this is due to his playing with fire and maintaining balance, but in essence -

"You're not confident enough, and you're afraid that I'll be more stifled than you are."

The greatsword was swung, and the flames released were negligible compared to before, but when it brushed against the chest of the Blood Herrscher, it surprised the latter.

Is this still a human being if it is not affected at all?

After a brief silence, looking at the gorgeous sword energy dancing in front of him, the Herrscher was confused. You know, even after losing the Honkai energy, he was still a little uncomfortable. At least he had to adjust the way of fighting. You know, no matter humans or Honkai beasts, they can't recover after such a huge change.

And after just a few seconds of hesitation, he regained his confidence.

Had it been predicted? Impossible. Very few people knew of the existence of the Ruler of Constraint. If he had predicted it, he would never have shown up!

Xuelu was puzzled, but didn't understand. Ryan not only knew it, but was also able to compare it and find clues.

His movement made the dead silent battlefield become noisy, and the Honkai beasts began to attack again. This time their huge bodies came in handy. Even though their movements were much slower and they could not launch attacks with greater destructive power, the attack power of the fusion warriors was greatly reduced, and they did not have bodies as strong as theirs.

"All troops retreat! Minerva provides cover fire!"

When the huge aerial battleship appeared on the horizon, Mei decisively activated the emergency plan. The Minerva stayed at the edge of the field and fired missiles and shells at full speed.

Even these weapons that do not use Honkai energy to propel them are still affected after entering the field and begin to move extremely slowly, but at least they can blow away some Honkai beasts after they fall.

And the Minerva decisively took over the flag, giving the panicked crowd a direction to focus on.

"Qianjie is back, eh, Su seems to be attached to him?"

"Sakura was brought back too, but why didn't Mebius come back?"

The most restrained Ruler of Constraint is Eden, who can only return to the ship to help and pick up an elegantly shaped "flintlock", which is a soul steel weapon tailor-made for her by Vilvi.

Everyone was exhausted, and if any Herrscher rushed out, she would have to stop him.

Mei remained silent. Skynet was ineffective and she could only judge the battle situation through the images from the optical satellite. She clenched her fists quietly.

It was indeed the Ruler of Constraint, but just as Ryan had imagined, this Ruler of Constraint was incomplete. He did not have enough energy to support that terrifying barrier.

According to Ryan's description, once the Ruler of Constraint's domain is deployed, all creatures within the range will become lambs to be slaughtered, and slightly weaker warriors will die immediately.

"Fortunately, compared to absolute constraints, it is more like a significant weakening. At least there is a chance to withdraw."

"Good? This is considered good?" Eden found it difficult to understand when she heard this, because she saw that the fusion warrior who moved as fast as the wind seemed to have become an ordinary person.

Without Honkai energy, strength, speed, and defense were all reduced. Instead, the Honkai beasts relied on their size advantage to completely regain the initiative.

If it weren't for the Minerva's desperate cover and the Prometheus' precise correction of every impact point, they would have been destroyed long ago. Even so, many of the slow ones were caught up and slaughtered.

"Of course it's a bad situation, but at least it's not hopeless." Mei was cruelly calm. Even when she saw Kevin being beaten away by the end-of-law-level Honkai beast, covered in blood, her expression did not change much.

"At least we can cope with it. Honkai will only push their advantage to the limit, and will not lead to annihilation of the whole army."

"What about Ryan?" Eden was a little excited, because Ryan was the one closest to the center of the field, and he showed no signs of escaping.

"He should be prepared. It is his responsibility to risk his life for this emergency and save the situation." Mei turned his head and ordered his subordinates:

"Prepare to launch the Gate formation to open the door of escape for the commander-in-chief, no, the door of victory!"

Fighting against Honkai and being the enemy of the Herrscher, victory or defeat, life or death, all depends on a moment.

Just as Mei expected, Ryan had already prepared himself mentally, and had been walking on thin ice all along. He knew that the reversal would be so fast that he would not have time to react, which proved the old saying:

Honkai can fail ten thousand times, but humanity cannot fail even once!

From having a slight advantage to a crisis of life and death, Ryan was not too surprised. For a long time, he had been accustomed to making preparations in advance and had contingency plans no matter how bad the consequences were.

"Exactly at this moment."

The greatsword slashed, leaving a crimson arc. The Herrscher of Blood supported himself on the ground with one hand and dodged backwards. Although he looked very fierce, he was not a war maniac like Qianjie. After the Herrscher of Restraint took action, there was no need for him to fight Ryan head-on.

The human can no longer hold on and is constantly retreating to a distance. He won't need to take any action later, as the Honkai beasts will be able to pile up and kill Ryan. However, the calmness of this human makes the Herrscher very interested.

"You are dead. You will no longer have that kind of speed and destructive power. The authority that restrains you will become even heavier. You won't even have a chance to escape."

He was telling the truth, and even though there was an element of psychological warfare involved, Ryan had already experienced that he was not lying.

The fewer targets this constraint field has to suppress, the stronger it will be, and its range will expand from Honkai energy to all energies. The speed of him and the Herrscher is getting slower and slower, and the damage caused is getting weaker and weaker.

If he continued like this, he would either be suppressed by the Ruler of Constraint until his heart stopped, or he would be killed by the rushing enemies before that.

call--

Ryan did not waver, even though he saw the Honkai beasts, Pseudo-Hershersmen, and Herrschers all abandoning their respective goals and converging here. If it weren't for Alicia and the others who desperately tried to intercept them, they would have surrounded him.

The communicator was full of retreat orders. Under such an unfavorable situation, Alicia and Kevin wouldn't be able to hold on for long. If Ryan couldn't be rescued, they might have to go in.

That’s right, focus on me, I’ll cover your retreat.

Ryan had no intention of approaching them. He simply pulled out the Seven Sin Purifying Thunders from the ground and used the remaining Honkai energy to resist the restraints.

"You're wrong, I didn't plan to escape at all!"

Chapter 4: The so-called miracle, turning the impossible into the possible! (K)

"Retreat, retreat immediately, and let the commander-in-chief personally cover the retreat."

Mei urged again and again, and the ordinary soldiers immediately carried out the orders. On the one hand, it was because they had absolute trust in the commander-in-chief, and on the other hand, they really couldn't fight any longer and collapse was imminent.

Even a fusion warrior will get tired and reach his limit. Before, he could rely on Eden's singing to encourage him and hold on. It was like being injected with a shot of cardiotonic, which supported him both physically and mentally.

but now......

The Honkai energy can be rendered ineffective. Without this thing, the fusion warrior will not be much stronger than an ordinary soldier. Instead, the advantage of the Honkai beast will be infinitely increased. After all, with such a huge body, it can kill people just by rushing or trampling.

What is even more terrifying is that the mentality is out of control, and the superhuman power that was relied on for survival in the past suddenly disappears. Any intelligent creature will be confused.

Fortunately, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is here to cover our retreat!

Although they were panicking, there was no sign of collapse. The man charged in front and retreated in the back, which was indeed reassuring. If they were defeated all of a sudden, the Honkai beasts coming from all directions would overwhelm everyone.

"Was this also planned? Fortunately, Kevin reacted quickly and gathered the scattered soldiers into three groups, which at least gave me the possibility of cover." Mei bit her nails, her eyes flickering as she watched the light spot on the map that was rapidly retreating.

"Full fire cover. This field can suppress energy. Inject three times the fuel. Let the captains and vice-captains evacuate in turn. No one is allowed to object!"

Mei was arbitrary and completely prevented any bloody incidents from happening. Fortunately, after going through the Tempering Plan, those who liked to talk nonsense and rush to be the last one to leave had died dozens of times in the Dark Soul simulator. When the same situation came to reality, the instructor's roaring summary would ring in his head countless times:

In war, there is no need for emotions, let alone reluctance. Imagine yourself as a machine and instinctively carry out the plans of your superiors!

So even Kosmo, Hen and others began to retreat. Although Kevin and Alicia didn't want to leave, they held back a large number of Honkai beasts and took this opportunity to lure them out of the battlefield. In this "barrier", they were the only ones who had some strength to resist.

The city that was so close at hand was becoming farther away. Besides feeling somewhat unwilling, Alysia was even more worried about Ryan. The piles of monsters had buried the retreat route, and the chaos made it impossible to concentrate. She looked up and around, and subconsciously pursed her lips.

"What about Ryan? He's out of touch with us!"

"Don't think too much, Mei will arrange it." Kevin tried to stay calm. If the end-of-law-level Honkai beast wanted to turn around, he would rush up and entangle it.

With stronger strength, one will naturally attract more attention. She discovered that the battle was still fierce on the battlefield and that the Herrscher of Death was approaching. Even though the Honkai energy was still restricted, the pervasive authority forced Alicia to concentrate.

"It's so annoying to be tied up." She shot an arrow and immediately felt that the remaining Honkai energy had been greatly reduced. She quickly retreated before the black fog came.

"This is the worst possible outcome that Mei, the Ruler of Constraint, could have arrived at." Kevin was obviously prepared. He rolled over to avoid the blow from the black ribbon and looked around.

"Hey, where are Hua and Mebius?"

Alicia, who was drawing her bow and arrow beside her, froze in expression. Without a second thought, she looked in the direction of the city and clenched her teeth.

"These two idiots!"

This night was extremely chaotic from the beginning, with constant pulling and reversing, reversing and reversing again, making the battle situation go up and down like a roller coaster. Now it was the end and also the stop loss.

But the Fire Moths never collapsed. The warheads falling from the sky were still emitting flames, and there were soldiers scattered everywhere still fighting desperately, and then gathered together, taking turns to cover the retreat. Only a very small number of them went upstream and headed towards the center of the battlefield.

slam-la-

His slender legs swept across the charred leaves, and Hua ran wildly with "All Things Hibernate" in his hand. He used the remaining energy of the Key of God to kill two Honkai beasts in seconds, and glanced to the side silently.

The dark green lightning was only as thick as an arm and bounced off the large shield of the Temple. When the opponent rushed forward with a big sword, Hua rolled on the ground and chased after him, and cut off the opponent's calf with the double-headed sword close to the ground.

The Honkai Beast lost its balance and fell to the ground, and never got up again.

The Key of God pierced through from behind, freezing most of the body. The girl glanced at Mebius who was sitting on the ground, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"There is too little Houkai energy left. We must rely on physical skills at this time. It seems that you lack training, Doctor."

The corner of Mebius' mouth twitched. What lack of training? She had never practiced such a barbaric fighting style. She quickly got up from the ground.

"You have the Key of God in your hand, why are you so proud?"

"Everything is dormant and there is not much Honkai energy left, so I rely on my skills." Hua gently shook the sword, his tone carrying a bit of sincerity, "Logistics personnel like you shouldn't be here. Ryan and I have already experienced similar scenes."

Hua seemed to have some kind of magical power. His words, which were obviously sincere, could make Mebius' blood pressure soar, and they sounded extremely harsh.

What did you say when I rescued you a few hours ago!

Sarcastic words were on the tip of her tongue, but when she saw the trash Honkai beast that almost stabbed her to death, she had no choice but to raise her head.

"You think a little brute force could get him out?"

"What else? Let senior brother carry another burden? Go back, Mobius, there's still time." Hua glanced at the somewhat embarrassed doctor, still full of kindness.

"You!!" Mobius choked and raised his hand to point to the sky. There were several flame tails heading towards the city, but some of them were shot down by Honkai beasts halfway.

Without saying anything, she grabbed the girl's hand and ran away.

"Come with me, you need to use your brain now!"

Ding——ding——

The katana collided with the scarlet pistol, and dazzling sparks flew. Ryan had almost returned to the state of an ordinary person, and only used the hardness of the Key of God itself to attack.

Ryan stepped back quickly, watching the gun flowers blooming in front of him one after another. He used the big sword as a shield and guarded the vital points firmly.

When output is constrained, Ryan finds that this is the ultimate restraint.

Duwakin, the carrier of the Herrscher of Blood, is a fusion warrior with impeccable spearmanship and combat experience, and his authority can be perfectly exerted under such intensity.

Swish.

A bone knife attacked from behind. Ryan slapped the ground and rolled in the air. The Holy Judge of Skyfire waved his hand and a scarlet fire snake swept away.

The knife did not hurt Ryan at all. Ryan had already ridden on the neck of the mutated Honkai beast. When he saw the red light appear in front of the fire snake, it disappeared without a trace.

There is no overload in this kind of environment, and it is even like actively replenishing energy, which can be completely decomposed and absorbed.
