Chapter 27: The Shenzhou Tablet Arrives on the Battlefield!
***
When Cocolia received another report from her subordinates, she felt like a bolt from the blue:
“Lady Cocolia, Lady Sin has been captured by the enemy!”
“What did you say?!”
She stared at her subordinate with a tiger-like gaze that seed ready to devour, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The subordinate trembled sowhat, but the next mont, he heard his superior’s boisterous laughter as Cocolia impatiently waved her hand:
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
“How could those few pieces of trash possibly be a match for my most prized daughter Sin?”
“Moreover, I had her take the Titans with her. How could those three people possibly be a match for the Titans!”
“Lady Cocolia, it’s entirely possible!”
The subordinate quickly bowed and explained:
“Although Lady Sin did indeed have the upper hand initially, that man called Jiang Qiao suddenly called out a girl nad Yunyun. With a wave of the wooden staff in her hand, lightning flashed forth, directly destroying all the Titans that Lady Sin had brought! And Lady Sin was captured as a result!”
“This subordinate witnessed it all firsthand! There’s not a word of falsehood!”
“Yunyun… lightning?”
After hearing these words, Cocolia’s expression instantly beca sowhat unpredictable.
As an executor of Anti-Entropy, she wouldn’t be as surprised as Kiana and Raiden i about humans being able to discharge electricity.
What she was thinking was, soone with this kind of ability couldn’t possibly be the ordinary person she had initially thought!
Moreover, according to her subordinate’s account, that girl called Yunyun wasn’t among the three people initially, but was called by the man nad Jiang Qiao.
In other words, that man nad Jiang Qiao wasn’t actually alone, but had so kind of force backing him?!
Damn it, I was careless!
Cocolia bit her lip tightly, her face turning iron-blue.
At this mont, a sowhat hoarse voice sounded behind her:
“It seems you’ve encountered so trouble, Cocolia.”
It was Gray Serpent.
As a cluster robot designed by Mobius, Gray Serpent had bodies existing all over the world, and Nagazora City was naturally no exception.
Cocolia didn’t even look back, angrily questioning: “You knew all along?”
“Not that early, just about two days ago.”
Gray Serpent’s answer instantly made Cocolia lose her composure.
Two days, that was about the sa amount of ti since that man called Jiang Qiao had made contact with Raiden i.
“Why didn’t you tell !”
“Watch your tone. I had no necessity to notify you. Besides… didn’t you also notice from the beginning? You just didn’t take that man called Jiang Qiao seriously.”
After expressing his displeasure, Gray Serpent’s hoarse voice carried a hint of helplessness:
“However, I don’t really have the right to say that, since I only suddenly realized his purpose when that man brought Raiden i and Siegfried’s daughter toward the Corp building.”
“In this regard, we’re actually the sa.”
They had both been deceived by Jiang Qiao. Looking back at that man’s actions, it was as if he knew soone was watching his movents, deliberately compressing this attack into an extrely short tifra, leaving no room for reaction and catching Cocolia completely off guard.
Cocolia was silent for a mont, then asked aloud:
“What’s behind that man called Jiang Qiao?”
If it was the serpent lurking in the shadows, perhaps it would know clearly, she had this thought.
But before Gray Serpent’s arrival, Cocolia had actually suspected whether that man called Jiang Qiao was one of the serpent’s people.
Because it seed only the serpent could do such a thing.
However, this thought quickly collapsed on its own, since the planning of this Nagazora City Honkai eruption was itself a mutually beneficial deal satisfying both parties. The serpent had no need to pull such tricks behind her back.
If there were, she wouldn’t be able to stand here talking.
“I don’t know.”
“Is it that you don’t know, or you don’t want to say?”
“I have no need to lie to you. This world is vast, perhaps so corner of history hides a behemoth.”
Of course, Gray Serpent actually suspected more that the background of that man called Jiang Qiao ca from outside the intrinsic world.
Although what was hidden in the shadows was indeed as vast as the sands of the Ganges River, to be able to make the serpent completely unable to find any breakthrough like this man did, even that Schicksal Overseer who had been in power for 500 years absolutely couldn’t do it.
“Then I’ll leave them to you.”
Although she was annoyed by dealing with the serpent, Cocolia could only compromise due to reality.
“Rember to bring my daughters back safely!”
If it were in the past, she wouldn’t have given in.
As long as preparations were thorough, what did a girl who could discharge electricity amount to? Cocolia had accumulated quite a few trump cards through years of internal warfare.
But unfortunately, that bastard called Jiang Qiao was really too cunning, directly launching a fast attack that left her with no ti to react.
With Bronya and Sin, her two main support pillars, removed, and the locally deployed Titan forces insufficient in number and completely unable to be reinforced in ti, Cocolia could only hope for the serpent to help solve those invaders.
“Hehe, you’ll hear good news.”
Gray Serpent’s hoarse voice was filled with confidence.
Unlike the useless Cocolia, even with such a short reaction ti, the serpent could easily devise counterasures.
No matter what the other party’s true nature was, the mont the serpent made its move, the outco was already predetermined.
At the sa ti, Nagazora City under the night sky also welcod a dark figure that had rushed through the starry night.
It was a girl wearing a tal mask and a full-body technological tight-fitting battlesuit.
Shadow Knight — the 4th generation Valkyrie battlesuit developed by Schicksal headquarters based on the Key of Blankness excavated from Previous Era civilization ruins, special equipnt that could grant the wearer extrely strong close combat abilities and aerial combat capabilities.
And its wearer was precisely a new student from St. Freya Academy this year, a young and beautiful girl of about 18… at least her figure matched that of an overage blooming maiden — Fu Hua from Shenzhou.
Compared to the distant Schicksal headquarters in the diterranean, St. Freya Academy, which was also located in the Far East, was undoubtedly much closer. So after dispatching Rita, Otto, out of concern, additionally commissioned this old friend of his to co investigate the situation.
To avoid attracting the attention of his dear granddaughter, Otto even had Fu Hua fly directly from St. Freya to Nagazora City using Shadow Knight’s flight capability, total ti took less than 2 hours.
“This city’s Honkai energy reaction…”
After setting foot in Nagazora City, Fu Hua imdiately noticed the city’s abnormality upon removing her mask, frowning deeply.
Due to the Edge of Taixuan, she was extrely sensitive to Honkai energy dispersed in the air.
In the past, Fu Hua had also visited this city.
But the feeling Nagazora City gave her then compared to now was like heaven and earth!
If this level continued to increase further, this city would probably beco the epicenter of a Honkai eruption before long.
“Is this why Otto sent here?”
Otto hadn’t given her specific details, but looking at this drastically changed city, she still instinctively connected it to that, and—
Looking at the image of the young man captured by satellite in the projection before her, Fu Hua instinctively clenched her fists.
“— Is the rise in Honkai energy connected to this person?”
