It's over, or should I say it's paused?
To say this battle came to an abrupt end is not accurate, and to say it started strong and ended weakly is also not right, it just gave people a strange feeling.
The pressure was there, the awareness was there, Ryan seemingly rushed over dangerously and snatched the Herrscher's kill, but in reality he didn't get anything, if he had to sum it up seriously:
It was that the invincible Commander-in-Chief thwarted a vile conspiracy of the Herrscher, and even though the losses were heavy and the gains were small, the Herrscher was both powerful and dangerous, so it was good enough that they got their lives back.
Time was tight, Ryan didn't even have time to tally the losses, in any case most of the Fusion Warriors were exhausted.
The body was damaged from overloading, the infirmary was full of people, various after-effects could not be solved in a short time, making Mei overwhelmed.
A series of schemes, the best-case scenario was for the Fire Moth to be wiped out by Kevin's sword, even if I exposed it, He still temporarily crippled eighty percent of the Fire Moth's strength.
The difficulty was soaring, besides authority and strength, this kind of 'wisdom' was the most terrifying, you have to know that people can recover with time, but what about the ammunition consumed? The reserve supplies have long bottomed out, and most of the factories have also been lost, even with Vil-V, she can't make so much ammunition in a short time.
The reason is that the Herrscher's goal has changed, He is not so obsessed with me.
Ryan had a feeling of being seen through, in the past he would madly attract hatred, making the Herrschers focus on Him, although this was dangerous, one person was a very small target, and had a lot of room for maneuvering.
It's different now, the Fire Moth is a behemoth, and the facts have proven that even with Mei's intelligence, she can't be perfect, plus a series of coincidences, they almost crashed.
'It's a good thing I sent most of humanity to the world bubbles, otherwise with such a huge burden, how could I fight the Honkai?'
Making the plan in advance and being ready for the worst was indeed beneficial, as for the Herrscher's movements, he had already guessed it.
"He went to Sea of Quanta City, or rather, He was at Sea of Quanta City from the beginning." Ryan put his hand on the table, and looked around.
Except for Andrevich and Joshua, all the other high-level Fusion Warriors were here, hearing this, they were both surprised and calm.
Now there were only two important places on Earth, one was where the main force of the Fire Moth was, and the other was everyone's escape route.
"According to you, the Herrscher prepared two plans at the same time, it would be best to eliminate us here, if not, then to destroy Sea of Quanta City?"
A good understanding.
Ryan turned his head and looked at the girl with the hammer horns on her head, he had already heard about Calis's matter, but he didn't have the energy to deal with it yet, but he trusted people he employed, and he still believed in Owl.
"It's not a substitute relationship, but a parallel one, the best result would of course be to eliminate you all and also conquer Sea of Quanta City, but the first plan failed, and the second plan looks like it succeeded."
It had only been twenty minutes since the end of the operation, everyone besides him was still panting heavily, they had no combat power.
The atmosphere became solemn, even the most optimistic person found that the problem was very big, now everyone was out of strength, the Herrscher would definitely not give them time to rest, perhaps at this time He had already reached the vicinity of Sea of Quanta City.
"What should we do? We can't make it in time no matter what, and Dr. Mei spent a lot of time arranging auxiliary combat power, all the fleets have already used up their ammunition!"
Amidst Owl's muttering to herself, everyone looked at Ryan, at this time besides him, everyone had no idea, there were still hundreds of millions of people who hadn't been transported away, Sea of Quanta City absolutely could not be lost now.
"Vil-V just sent a report, the 'door' is ready." The conference room door opened, and Mei walked in quietly, no longer showing any signs of frustration on her face.
"It only took you twenty-three minutes to adjust your mindset, worthy of you."
"I think two minutes is too long, I just went through the entire operation plan again." Mei gave Ryan a look, and faced everyone, "I won't say I'm sorry, and you don't need to comfort me, sometimes with Herrschers, just strategy is not enough."
Actually no one blamed her, because most people didn't even have the courage to bear this pressure, under the influence of authority, they had to think about every detail, a slight mistake would cause them to crash, and one crash would mean humanity's demise.
This wasn't work, this was torture.
"Sea of Quanta City has not yet sent an attack alert, I guess the Herrscher's conspiracy also has a price." Mei maintained her calmness, and when everyone let out a sigh of relief, she changed the subject, "But the recovery time won't be long, if it exceeds two hours, His plan would be meaningless."
Two hours was enough for Ryan to rush from the center of Mu Continent to Sea of Quanta City to save them, but the problem was that the Herrscher hoped he would go, after fighting so hard, at least most people couldn't recover in a few hours, and without enough troops, facing the Herrscher of Binding was equivalent to a suicidal mission.
The tactic of adding oil to the fire was the most stupid, and the Fire Moth could not gather global combat power like they did just now, underestimate the enemy and rush forward to be harvested, if they handled it conservatively, the escape route along with hundreds of millions of people would definitely be lost.
'He wants me to be a hero, so that He can separate me from the Fire Moth.' Ryan sighed, why can't you Herrschers just stick together, why are you so obsessed with being a scheming bastard?
This series of schemes, you really can't pull it off without some skill.
"Let's kill! We can't be cowards at a time like this!" Kalpas gritted his teeth, he was the one who couldn't use artificial collapse just now, and he was unconvinced.
"Calm down, if we are all killed, and Sea of Quanta City is also lost, wouldn't we lose everything we have?" Werner ignored the murderous gaze, and spoke with a stiff upper lip.
"This is cowardice, you clearly know what those bastards want to do, but you're pretending you don't see it!"
"I don't want to either, but we don't have the time and energy to arrange the subjugation battle we just had, you've also experienced the Herrscher of Binding's authority, what's the difference between stepping into His domain with our current strength and throwing our lives away for nothing?"
"So what if we die! Are you scared!?"
Kalpas was twisting logic, making everyone lose the desire to argue, who here was afraid of death, but they wanted to die for a cause.
To defeat the Herrscher of Binding, they had to hold on until the critical point, and to hold on until the critical point, they needed to simultaneously insert a huge energy source, but the problem was also simple, everyone was exhausted, and the terrifying firepower suppression was also exhausted, all of this required time to prepare.
Stopping losses in time sounds more rational, you have to know that the enemy is not just the Herrscher of Binding, are you treating the Herrscher of Death and those traitors as air, or do you think that the Herrscher of Binding who outwitted Dr. Mei doesn't exist?
Ryan waved his hand to tell them to stop arguing, he felt his mind was a little messy, but there was a faint sense of excitement.
The more powerful the Herrscher is, the more amazing I am, and why did I have to take the risk to undergo a fusion surgery?
He savored that shot, at that time the Binding domain was rapidly shrinking, but it was still effective, and was still pierced by the Tenth Divine Key, this proved that the assumption he had made before was correct, plus the quantum factor I merged with...
"Go and meet them, Sea of Quanta City cannot be lost, that is our last escape route."
"Commander-in-Chief, this....."
"No need to persuade me, for so many years, which time have we ever fought a Herrscher with complete confidence and a calm attitude?" Ryan looked around, and raised his voice, "None! Every time we are gambling, the only difference is who gambles, and how much the bet is, the Herrscher's plan is perfect, but we still have a bet to place."
Where is the bet? With everyone in this state, they wouldn't last three seconds.
Some people questioned it in their hearts, but no one said it out loud, they all knew that this bet referred to Ryan himself.
"Those who have energy to spare, come with me through the 'door', the rest try to gather forces, and move from Mu Continent as a whole."
Whoosh.
With the sound of leather boots, everyone took a step forward, which made Ryan frown, and a hint of emotion surged in his heart.
Those who could stay on Earth were warriors, everyone was ready to burn themselves to illuminate hope, but emotion aside, war is rational, it cannot be swayed by emotions.
"There's no need to act tough, following the main fleet is not being a coward, the Herrscher might also use Sea of Quanta City as bait and ambush us halfway, everyone's risks are not higher or lower than each other."
Ryan tried to persuade them, his eyes scanned one familiar face after another, estimating everyone's condition.
"Elysia, Mobius, Sakura, Hua, Kalpas, Pardofelis, you guys come with me, the rest will provide support under Dr. Mei's leadership, that's all."
It was very decisive, he didn't even have the thought of explaining, the people who were called out were overjoyed, while those who were left behind like Eden were silent, thankfully she was not a willful girl, but instead was full of wisdom.
She, Aponia, and Kevin were the last line of defense, if the Herrscher really wanted to ambush them halfway, they wouldn't have no resistance at all, he seemed to be as hot-blooded as Kalpas, but in fact he had already arranged everything.
As for the other warriors, they were a little surprised, anyone with a clear eye could see that the people on Mu Continent couldn't possibly catch up, and the chances of Ryan being here were the highest, so the risk of being attacked was very small.
Looking at the people who were called out, they were all trusted confidants of the Golden Courtyard, even if they had complaints on a normal day, they couldn't help but sigh:
The most dangerous combat mission is borne by the trusted confidants, Commander-in-Chief is truly fair in his work.
"Mei, prepare the two-hour countdown." Ryan glanced at the electronic clock, the discussion of the plan took a total of ten minutes, and he saw the red numbers jumping, and he turned around without hesitation, "Elysia, let's go."
"Okay."
The pink-haired girl quickly led a group of people to follow, Ryan's pace was very fast, he walked to the hangar, the high-speed shuttle was already ready, and the hatch was already open, the cold wind from high altitude kept pouring in.
"Hey, how much confidence do you have?" Mobius took a few quick steps, and quietly asked, she was the chief surgeon, but she had no idea what the effect of the fusion surgery was.
At first glance, Ryan seemed no different from before.
Ryan grabbed the handrail, and plunged into the shuttle, his voice floated far away.
"It's all up to humans!"
