On another front, Ana and Bianka trailed behind, their pursuit sowhat leisurely thanks to the miniature caras Ana had previously set up.
For a while, it felt like they were genuinely on a date, visiting the British Museum together, enjoying traditional afternoon tea, and if not for ti constraints, they might have even attended an opera at the theater.
However, due to the mission, Bianka remained slightly preoccupied. Ana, holding her hand and leading the way, evoked the image of an energetic girlfriend dragging her weary partner during a shopping spree.
In reality, Bianka wasn't tired at all; she quite enjoyed the experience.
Alas, no matter how comfortable the mont, all good things must co to an end. After Rita's group entered the ruins, Ana and Bianka cautiously peeked from their vantage point atop a distant hillside.
"There's sothing off about that Katherine," Ana remarked.
Ana stuffed the strawberry cake in her hand into her mouth. British cuisine was indeed unpalatable, but their Western-style desserts were quite enjoyable and satisfying.
"Hmm."
Bianka nodded, also sensing sothing off about Katherine.
As the one directly involved, Rita might not have noticed, but as outsiders, they observed Katherine making several discreet moves behind the scenes. Unfortunately for Katherine, Susannah's presence acted like a deadweight to Rita, completely thwarting her attempts at subterfuge.
"Here's what we'll do: let's split up. You go down from here to assist Rita, while I'll support Susannah." Ana pointed at a specific location and suggested to Bianka.
"Agreed."
Without hesitation, Bianka readily consented. She swiftly blasted an entrance in the direction Ana indicated and leaped through it.
The efficiency of her actions left Ana montarily awestruck.
"Bianka truly lives up to her reputation!" Ana couldn't help but softly exclaim.
Calmly, she reached into her pocket, retrieved a handkerchief, wiped away the cream from the corner of her mouth, then took out a compact mirror to touch up her makeup. Only after completing these tasks did she leisurely head towards the entrance where Rita had entered the ruins.
But why would she do this?
Co on, did Susannah really need assistance? "Susannah" was actually that man's disguise, while Katherine was just an ordinary individual, albeit a believer of the World Serpent, with no extraordinary powers.
In truth, rather than worrying about Susannah, one should be concerned for Katherine. That man is notoriously petty; seeing soone like Katherine with potential, Otto would undoubtedly exploit her to her fullest extent.
Well, it's not quite as extre as that, but he would make her Schicksal's chosen worker, ensuring she remains dedicated to their cause indefinitely.
At Schicksal Headquarters on the floating island, Ana gazed at the sky and abruptly ended her tale.
"Alright, let's wrap up this delightful tea party."
"Huh?! But Lady Ana, it feels like you didn't really share anything," protested one of the Valkyries who had been listening intently to the story.
"The truth you seek is simpler and more innocent than you might imagine. Actually, for such matters, asking Bianka or Rita would be more enlightening," Ana replied with a smile.
How should she explain it? Ana has always been close friends with Rita and Bianka; previously, Rita often helped her secretly as well. Ana genuinely appreciates Rita, and undoubtedly, she would make the ideal wife for any Captain.
But what did Ana do when faced with Rita?
It was rely a montary flirtation at an inappropriate ti, and Rita imdiately reciprocated - that's how simple their story began. As for Bianka, their relationship deepened over ti, aided by Rita's encouragent.
To the Valkyrie listening earlier, Ana hadn't shared any captivating tales, but subtly, her bond with Bianka had grown warr through these anecdotes.
If they wanted to delve deeper, it would involve discussing the Legacy Chapter, specifically the story of Unnad Locomotive. However, for an ordinary Valkyrie of Schicksal, this is undoubtedly a forbidden secret.
Thus, for now, Ana had to keep her secret.
In the sky above, a colossal dragon suddenly erged, roaring and unleashing entropy beams that severely tested Schicksal's orbital satellite defenses surrounding their headquarters.
Under relentless pressure from the giant dragon, the outer defense barrier finally crumbled, allowing hordes of Honkai Beasts to surge towards Schicksal Airport.
Witnessing this scene, Ana's expression turned grave instantly.
"All units, attention! Imdiate retreat! Elite squads, cover the rear!"
With decisive orders, Ana activated her Valkyrie Armor Ultimate Knight and soared into the air.
Already positioned high above was another Valkyrie, Fu Hua, equipped with Godslayer Armor Shadow Knight: Moonlit Wheels. She swiftly appeared on the frontline, luring the Archon Honkai Beast Benares away from Schicksal Airport.
However, Fu Hua's task wasn't going smoothly.
Benares had arrived due to the Queen's summons, so its primary objective naturally was to return to her side.
But under Fu Hua's persistent attacks, Benares grew increasingly agitated. Temporarily abandoning its goal to reach the Queen, it chose instead to pursue Fu Hua—a developnt precisely aligned with Fu Hua's intentions.
As planned, she successfully led Benares away from Schicksal Headquarters.
anwhile, Anti-Entropy's Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla arrived at the battlefield aboard the Hyperion, accompanied by a significant portion of their Titan chs.
Despite internal conflicts within Anti-Entropy, Cocolia did not withhold all technological advancents completely. For instance, quantumization technology was shared among them, and the accompanying Titan chs were equipped with similar capabilities.
With this chanized army, Anti-Entropy swiftly cleared Schicksal's outer periter of Honkai Beasts and seized control of Sky Third Port.
Yes, they only captured one port; most territories remained under Schicksal's control. The decision to relinquish Third Port was indeed Ana's command.
Of course, it originated from Otto's directive as well, since after Ana issued her order, Rita inford her that she had received the sa instruction from Otto.
In Otto's view, Anti-Entropy was rely a troupe of clownish nuisances. Temporarily ceding the Third Port and industrial center posed no issue, as it reduced pressure on Schicksal's front lines while exhausting Anti-Entropy's resources and diverting their forces.
Moreover, capturing Schicksal's territory wasn't so effortless. Don't forget, Schicksal still commands four S-rank Valkyries!
