I, a planetary-level Honkai Beast, love only Valkyries.

Now, in the court, the Jackal holds absolute power, and the Second Prince is practically a puppet; this is common knowledge in the court.

However, as the guards left, the Second Prince looked at the jackal with a hint of displeasure, but it quickly disappeared.

After thinking for a moment, the jackal also followed the guards.

The Crown Prince's astrologer, along with her associates, must be executed under her personal supervision to ensure her peace of mind.

As for confirming whether those people are actually connected to stargazing? Hmm? It's time-consuming and laborious, and there's a risk of things going wrong if things drag on. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Soon, she met those people.

One was wearing a white snow dress and a hooded white robe, another had wings on her back, and two others were not particularly noticeable.

"Sister Bronya..."

"Don't be afraid."

Bronya didn't say that; Starmoon put her arm around the delicate girl's shoulder first.

"If these people really start fighting, they'll just be easy prey."

After she finished speaking, her sleeves grew several sizes larger, from which she flicked out several MG4 pistols and placed them in the hands of the crowd.

"Don't move."

The soldiers around them pointed their swords at them, forming circles around them, their eyes fixed on the dark, seemingly unsharp object in their hands.

After receiving the machine gun, Bronya's gray eyes lit up as if she had seen a long-lost comrade, and she subconsciously loaded the bullet.

"Thieves, put down your demon soldiers and surrender obediently."

The jackal spoke in a commanding tone.

"In that case, I might be able to leave you with a complete corpse."

"Aren't you going to ask us why we came here before you hastily convict us?"

Xingyue spoke calmly and composedly, showing no sign of the panic one would expect when facing a large army.

"Hmph! What a joke!"

Jackal snorted coldly, his eyes, hidden behind the mask, were full of mockery.

"Trespassing into the imperial city is already a capital offense, and resisting is an even greater crime, not to mention the close ties with the traitor Guan Xing."

"It wouldn't be too much for me to sentence you to be torn apart by five horses."

"Oh? You were the one who made the judgment?"

Xingyue raised an eyebrow at Jieyu.

"So, you're saying you call the shots in this imperial city?"

"Of course it's me..."

Jackal was only halfway through his sentence when his heart suddenly tightened.

That was close! I almost let it slip.

While that's true in reality, she'll only be a legitimate regent after she's dealt with both the Star Gazer and the Second Prince, right?

That damned thief almost ruined her grand plan.

Enraged, the jackal decided to stop making excuses and resort to force, killing the witness to silence her.

"Go! Kill a thief, and you'll be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."

"Haha~"

Xingyue smiled, took a few steps back, patted Bronya's shoulder, and whispered in the Roman-style curly-haired girl's ear.

"It's up to you now. Just don't hurt any vital organs." Chapter 91: Stargazing: When did you become my subordinates?

Da, da da da da...

Wow~

Of the five, Bronya's machine gun spat fire, and the crowd fell one after another.

"Ah, I can't feel my hands or arms."

"Help me, my leg!"

"Ah~ Ah"

"What kind of sorcery is this?"

"This, this person is a demon."

Those who had fallen clutched their limbs, groaning in agony; the scene was utterly horrific.

After about a third of the men fell, the rest scattered and fled, leaving weapons strewn everywhere.

He was crying and sniffling while running away, as if he had a mental breakdown.

For an ancient army, even a guard, to have achieved this level of feat is truly remarkable. They held out until now, only to be defeated, in the face of unknown weapons.

If it were a large army, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand even a third of the losses before collapsing into complete disarray.

Bronya glanced at the gun muzzle emitting white smoke, blew hard to disperse the smoke, and then reloaded the machine gun with another ammunition belt.

This is the difference between firearms and cold weapons.

The Herrscher of the Sea gave her nothing more than a perfectly normal weapon, which she easily dealt with the elite guards in the imperial city without using any protective measures.

Just as the arrival of Maxim ended the myth of cavalry.

"What should we do with you next?"

The girl with spiky hair reached out and grabbed at the air in one direction.

At the same time, realizing something was wrong, the jackal, who was fleeing with the guards, was horrified to find that his feet had left the ground and his body seemed to be flying backward uncontrollably.

"Hmm~"

The woman wearing the dog-head mask felt a strong urge to suffocate as she struggled to lift her eyes and looked down, only to find that the girl had somehow grabbed her by the neck.

"Oh, I see! The big wolf has been caught!"

Kiana munched on a chicken leg while glancing sideways through the main hall towards the outside.

To be honest, if Jackal really died at the hands of a few assassins who appeared out of nowhere, it would save them a lot of trouble. Afterwards, they could even posthumously confer some title on Jackal as a gesture of respect.

So I simply ignored it, found a place to hide, and pretended that I was also very scared.

"Cough cough cough cough~"

Xingyue loosened her grip slightly, giving the jackal a chance to catch its breath.

"You, you thief..."

The jackal, feeling a tightness in his throat, quickly changed his words, but they still carried a strong sense of hostility.

"I advise you to release me quickly. Murdering the Grand Tutor is a serious crime. The army stationed outside the city is coming soon. If you regret it now, it's not too late."

After saying that, the jackal snorted coldly.

"Even if you are personally very strong, so what? Can you withstand an army of thousands?"

"General Youlan has already arrived with his troops. If you release me now, I, the Junior Tutor, can plead for you and spare your lives."

"Huh? You?"

The beautiful face beneath the jackal mask froze. She realized that the hairy girl was looking at her with the eyes of someone looking at a clown.

The jackal wanted to say something more, but felt a tightness in his throat again, and could only make hoarse "ah ah" sounds.

"How shameless."

"He has no real ability, but he's got quite the big mouth."

Xingyue glanced at the woman, her eyes sparkling.

I feel like if we kill this clown, we'll miss out on a lot of interesting scenes later on.

So he casually tossed it aside on the roadside.

"let's go."

Xingyue took the hands of the group, leaped to the edge of the city wall, jumped into the alley, and disappeared without a trace.

"Stop~"

"Jackal shouted in a hoarse voice that hadn't recovered yet, clutching her neck which was throbbing from being pinched, while staring intently in the direction they had gone."

After a long while, she curled her lips into a sinister smile.

It seems that, just as she predicted, these people still have a great deal of awe for the royal family or the military.

Otherwise, why not kill her and then leave calmly? Presumably, the sorcery mechanism he used earlier had limitations; it couldn't possibly withstand the siege of such a large army.

Once she's confirmed this, it will be very easy for her to scheme against these guys in the future.

On the other side, within the clouds in the sky, several people were enveloped in a bubble, flying around the Honkai Beast.

The pure white and soft yellow hues unveil the ancient scroll.

This is a map, a map of a vast empire.

On this map, they are heading towards a path that is essential for stargazing, a path that, if not corrected, leads to certain death in the forest.

Soon, they landed in the woods and began to explore their surroundings in an orderly manner.

The forest is dense and lush, brimming with natural beauty, yet it also harbors hidden dangers.

For them, this primeval jungle is paradise, regardless of venomous snakes or ferocious beasts.

Just as Seele crouched down to pet the rabbit, a python several tens of centimeters in diameter suddenly darted out of the shadows, swallowing the rabbit with its gaping maw and then lunging at the sick girl.

"Xier~"

Bronya reacted quickly, rushing forward and smashing the python's head with the butt of her gun, causing it to veer off course.

He then pulled the trigger and fired a burst of bullets at the python.

The injured python reluctantly slithered away, but as it left, it glanced back at Seele and flicked its tongue at her.

In that instant, a laser beam shot out, striking the injured python.

The next moment, the snake turned to ashes and scattered in the wind.

What are you doing?

The girl who was speaking had white smoke rising from her index finger.

"A python that likes to hurt people is a menace if left alive; shouldn't we eliminate it completely?"

The words were on the tip of Seele's tongue, but she couldn't get them out.

She couldn't very well say that she was too scared to move, could she?

"Wonderful!"

A burst of applause came from the woods, attracting everyone's attention.

They looked toward the source of the sound and saw a white-haired little girl in a cotton robe slowly walking out from the bushes.

She held a feather fan in her hand, her gaze was deep, and she gave people the intuition that she could never be seen through.

"De, Principal Theresa? No, that's not right."

Seele covered her mouth

This girl has a completely different temperament from Principal Theresa; she is much more composed and experienced than Theresa.

But they look exactly the same, and Yae Sakura almost mistook one for the other.

"This is World Bubble, also known as the World's Bubble, which is a parallel little world. So you will encounter people who are very familiar to us, but remember, they are not the real people."

Xingyue used telepathy to remind everyone.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Guan Xing, the current Crown Prince."

Guan Xing placed the feather fan on his flat chest and said leisurely.

"Are you the ones who kidnapped the Grand Tutor in the imperial city half a day ago, and even claimed to be our subordinates?"

Upon hearing this, Xingyue smiled, walked up to Guanxing, looked at her closely, and her eyes held a hint of affection.
