I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

"Commander Bronya, how was your conversation with the Grand Guardian? Did Lady Cocolia retract the decree?"

Looking at Bronya who was sitting in her office chair with her hands on her chin in deep thought, Pyrrha spoke with a worried look on her face.

"No, mother is still determined to launch a counterattack against the Rift."

Bronya shook her head.

Pera's expression grew heavy.

Bronya took out a document from her desk drawer:

"Within this year, Mother organized the Silvermane Guard to launch 12 counterattacks against the Rift. The Silvermane Guard suffered extremely heavy casualties, and half of the team is already experiencing severe personnel shortages."

"This new decree also requires expanding the defense line in the north, focusing on dealing with the rift within the city, and sending personnel into it to search for Qiong and the others."

"No, we don't have that many soldiers anymore!"

Perla said in an urgent tone.

"After I conveyed the Grand Guardian's decree, the morale of some troops became extremely low, and some became pessimistic about the future."

Pella gritted her teeth and continued, "There was even a small-scale mutiny due to dissatisfaction with the government's decree. Those soldiers believed that the Great Guardian was simply sending them to their deaths in vain."

The signs actually appeared a long time ago, but the Great Guardian has protected this city for seven hundred years, generation after generation. Many people are willing to believe in the Great Guardian. She must have a deep meaning for doing so!

The young and strong man was willing to sacrifice himself for the survival of Beloberg.

But as time went on, some veterans could tell something was wrong. Previously, Bronya and Jeppard had been very strict about military discipline and had forcibly suppressed the flames.

Especially this time, Cocolia’s radical decree caused the long-standing hidden dangers to begin to erupt.

After mustering up the courage to speak, Pyrrha looked at Bronya cautiously.

I noticed that there was no sign of anger on the other person's face, and there was even an expression of... finally here?

Although the expression was fleeting, Pyrrha saw it clearly.

"Pella, what you said about Mother sealing off the lower districts is correct?"

"..."

Pera was speechless.

As an intelligence officer of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, she knew how many families in Beloberg had been forcibly separated for more than a decade because of the isolation order, especially those Iron Guards transferred from the lower city.

"Like many people, I used to attribute many things I couldn't figure out to the fact that my mother had a deeper meaning behind her actions."

"But after careful consideration, I realized that blocking the upper and lower districts would only lead to one result: dividing people's hearts and weakening their strength!"

"what?"

Pera was shocked by Bronya's words. She didn't expect her to say such outrageous words.

"Commander Bronya..."

"I contacted Qiong on my cell phone."

Pera: "!"

"They are now in the lower district and have told me a lot about the lower district."

Pera: "!!"

However, when Bronya told Pella about the shortage of supplies in the lower district and the erosion of the Rift, information that was previously unknown to the upper district, the little round-faced girl fell completely silent.

"Pella, you're an intelligence officer and you know a lot. What do you think Mother is doing?"

There is never a shortage of smart people in the world, but when smart people are busy surviving or unwilling to think about a certain idea, they naturally won’t think about some things.

But when she broke through that layer of shackles and combined the existing evidence with the events that had occurred, the conclusion that Pera came to made her body tremble, as if it was even colder than being in the snow.

"Commander Bronya, this, this..."

"Perla."

The gentle voice brought Pera out of her dark thoughts, and she looked up at Bronya.

"If I say I want to become the Great Guardian, will you help me?"

Ms. Bronya, what are you going to do!!!

The rebellious words frightened Pyrrha, and her whole body felt cold, followed by a warm current.

Yes, the Grand Guardian is the Grand Guardian of Beloberg, and Cocolia betrayed the people who trusted her, so how can she continue to stay in the position of Grand Guardian?

Then, there is only one answer!

Pera's expression was solemn as she tore the document in her hand with a ripping sound, "I will swear allegiance to you!"

PS:

104

Chapter 104: So, Gul'dan, what is the price?

One of Bronya's tasks was to break through the layer of habitual cognition, allowing Pera to see through Cocolia's actions and completely stand on her side.

She also needs to gain the support of more Silvermane Guards.

Normally, the Grand Guardian has almost absolute rule over the Upper City, but Cocolia's rash and radical decree created an opportunity for Bronya.

The small-scale mutiny among soldiers was discovered in time and did not escalate further. It was covered up by Bronya and not reported to the Grand Guardian.

Jeppard didn't know what Commander Bronya said to the soldiers. After a talk on military discipline, the soldiers' attitudes took a 180-degree turn. They all came to their senses and changed their ways.

He could see the soldiers' heartfelt respect and admiration for Commander Bronya in their eyes. He watched Commander Bronya's departing back with his body straight. He could describe it in two words - loyalty!

Of course, some superficial work still needs to be done. These soldiers are demoted openly and hidden away, and divided into various teams.

Bronya is the current leader of the Silvermane Guard, and she has the right to do so.

Before accumulating enough power to overthrow Cocolia, Bronya cannot openly rebel against the Great Guardian, and the newly issued decree still needs to be implemented.

Commander Bronya personally led a group of Iron Guards into the commercial district eroded by the Rift, hunting down the assassins and counterattacking the Rift.

Needless to say, the army suffered heavy casualties.

The captain of the Iron Guard led his team into the Rift, followed by the crisp clash of weapons and shouts of killing.

The rift turned into a hell.

The bluestone floor was dyed red, the thin ice was melted by the hot blood, and the hot blood condensed into new frost in the low temperature.

In the past, Land Duck participated in the battle to counterattack the Rift. As the leader of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, she usually played the role of commander, directing the battle from the rear.

This time, it should have been the same as always.

But Bronya couldn't help but take action in the end.

In terms of individual combat power, Secondary Silver Wing is undoubtedly stronger than Land Duck. The siphoned Herrscher is also a Herrscher, plus a few badges.

The loss of these lives was meaningless and worthless, which was a real pity in the eyes of the Secondary Silver Wing, who was essentially a Happy Man.

Looking at the tragic scene of their comrades' corpses scattered all over the ground, and the monsters that looked like the dead being forged by the rift energy through the corpses, the expressions on the faces of the remaining soldiers were almost numb.

Grief and despair became catalysts, allowing the seeds of doubt that had been buried in the soldiers' hearts at some point to germinate.

Thinking of the silver figure who led the charge, a different kind of light appeared in the eyes of the soldiers whose faces were ashen.

The massive counterattack on the Rift took place not only within the city, but the front lines in the northern snowfields also advanced under the new decrees of the Grand Guardian.

Unlike the city rift right under Cocolia's nose, Bronya has much more room to operate on the frontier outside Beloberg.

Beloberg had no means of instant communication, nor an information-based military system. The casualties and material statistics of the Silver Mane Iron Guard were all written on paper by Pella, the clerk, and Pella reported to the Grand Guardian every time.

If we exaggerate the casualty figures, Kokolia will lose more Iron Guards to die on the front lines. What?

Not enough people?

Then recruit!

Of course, if Pella wants to conceal the situation on the front line from the Great Guardian and lie about military intelligence, it is obviously not enough for her to do it alone. Bronya also needs to control many nodes.

It's not impossible.

"Commander Bronya, I've compiled a list. There are many potential candidates. Your reputation among the Iron Guard is growing."

Pyrrha walked over to Bronya's desk, took out a small notebook filled with names, and handed it to the silver-haired girl.

These people were sergeants and officers who were dissatisfied with the existing Beloberg policies, and when Pera mentioned something vaguely, they showed that they were more inclined towards Bronya's people.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Bronya chuckled as she took the list and looked through it carefully.

Pera was very thorough in his work, and he wrote down an analysis of the reasons for each person he was able to recruit.

Most of the Iron Guards are uneducated warriors, but being uneducated does not mean they are fools.

Receiving orders for pointless attacks once, twice, five, or six times could be explained, but sending them to die a dozen times with no visible results was something no one could understand.

Many officers cherish their soldiers very much. When the attack orders often come from the Cripple Palace, many officers will slack off in front of the Rift.

They knew that doing so would be a meaningless sacrifice, and would have no effect other than wasting their brothers' lives!

Now Bronya, the leader of the Silver Mane Guards and the heir to the Grand Guardian, Miss Bronya, supports them, and many people have chosen their side without hesitation!

In particular, recently, when many Iron Guards were fighting against the monsters of the Rift, they could see the silver-haired figure charging ahead.

'Follow me' and 'Come at me', although there is only a difference of one word, the feeling in the Iron Guard's heart is absolutely different!

Cocolia is undoubtedly the one who says 'come on me'.

Who really cares about them, and who is so indifferent to their lives?

The Iron Guards could all feel it, but due to their specific identities, no one dared to speak out about it.

"Well, let's proceed step by step here. Pella, keep these two things."

Bronya took out a stack of documents from the desk drawer, stood up and walked to the cabinet, took out two bags of seeds and handed them to Pera.

"This is?"

Pella picked up the document and took a look, only to find that it was just some design drawings of mechanical structures that she couldn't understand and documents filled with professional terms.

"It's a gift from Qiong to us."

Qiong prepared some things and asked Sister Ji Zi to airdrop them over.

"Qiong...a gift?"

Pera was stunned for a moment.

"These drawings are designs for electrical equipment that will make life better for the people of Beloberg."

Secondary Silver Wing's trip was not in vain. Since he decided to become the Great Guardian, even if he was only in this position temporarily, he had to do what a Great Guardian should do.

Bronya decided to help Beloberg trim the crooked technology tree.

Although we can initially master electricity, the technology tree that extends from it is crooked and not conducive to future development.

As for where the technology comes from?

There are many ways.

Electric energy technology is undoubtedly a backward technology for interstellar civilizations that use imaginary energy. It can be searched on the interstellar network. With a few cute photos of Xiao Xier, Sister Silver Wolf can hack into the backend of certain companies and directly copy them.

It can also be obtained from the world of collapse. The two conservatives of the anti-entropy are scientific giants who are the treasures of civilization. Bronya has helped the anti-entropy so much, so if she asks them to help with some basic electrical energy technology, they will come to her immediately.

"These seeds are food crops that can grow in low-temperature environments. They develop quickly, produce abundant yields, and ripen multiple times. They can solve Beloberg's food problem."

Bronya handed Pera the instructions that came with the seeds.

There are countless planets in the universe and various ecological environments. It is very easy to find seeds that can produce high yields at low temperatures.

"Unbelievable... Is this true?!"

Looking at the description on the instruction manual, Pyrrha's blue eyes widened in shock.

"Yes, this is technology from outer space."

"Is this really a gift? Without a price?"

Pella swallowed instinctively. Not to mention the technologies that Beloberg did not have, these seeds alone were a great blessing, enough to save countless people in Beloberg.

She couldn't believe it was just a 'gift'.
