The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

Yanar let out a light "tsk". She knew that if she continued to emphasize Zhu Yufeng's identity as a Herrscher, the effect of her words would be greatly weakened. Her purpose would appear too obvious, and the authenticity of her words would be greatly reduced in the eyes of others.

Why isn't this guy in a hurry at all?

Originally, Yanar had planned that when Zhu Yufeng rushed over to fight her in order to stop her from continuing, she would just blow herself up cleanly and everyone would die together. In this way, even if he could survive, he would be seriously injured and would have to face the suspicion from humans afterwards.

But now Zhu Yufeng didn't respond at all, and looked at her as if she was a clown, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Could it be that he knew that he could actually create a pseudo black hole? That shouldn't be the case. Even I only recognized that guy as a traitor and was indoctrinated with the information that he must be killed. I knew that he was indeed a Herrscher, but I was not very clear about what his power was.

Yanar was thinking about the current situation in her mind. The opponent did not intend to rush over to fight with her directly, which meant that he was indeed prepared for her trump card. She had not yet completely absorbed the Honkai energy generated by this Honkai, and she had no chance of winning without self-destructing. She originally wanted to devour the power of the First Herrscher to increase her chances of winning, but now Zhu Yufeng was standing there. She even had some doubts. If she took the initiative to rush over and self-destruct, would it be possible that Zhu Yufeng would be faster than her and kill her before she self-destructed?

In this case, apart from further intensifying the conflict between the Fire Moth and Mu Continent, what role did he play? And as long as Leon was still there, even if the conflict was intensified, this time Mu Continent was not right, and the Fire Moth gave up its ownership of the Herrscher Core, the two sides would most likely be in a relatively peaceful state in the end.

Doesn't this make me look like a clown?

Yanar stared at Zhu Yufeng intently, feeling that he didn't seem to take her seriously, which made her annoyed, but... she couldn't be impatient, she still had to...

Let Leon really focus on himself instead of being a clown.

After a long standoff, Yanar decisively chose to retreat. Her chances of winning against Zhu Yufeng were slim, and the final results would not satisfy her. After weighing the pros and cons, she could only retreat temporarily.

After the crisis was temporarily resolved, Zhu Yufeng looked at Hen and his "daughter". Before he could speak, the little girl came out from behind Hen, raised her head and looked at him, then shouted in a crisp voice: "Dad."

Zhu Yufeng: “???”

This... How did she know this? Who did she learn this word from?

mark:"???"

Feng is the father of this little girl? Isn't she a man-made person? And this child looks serious, and the two people's faces are indeed somewhat similar... Is she really Feng's daughter?

Zhu Yufeng's expression was almost unbearable. He looked at Hen and said, "Take her away first. I'll go after the Ninth Herrscher."

"Yeah." Hen nodded. He knew Yanar was indeed forced back by Zhu Yufeng. Both sides seemed to be afraid that the other side had a trump card. The reason why Feng didn't take action directly was probably because he was worried about affecting the little girl next to him... If this child was really his daughter...

"Hen, you are a soldier from Mu Continent, you don't need to worry about this container, take out the Herrscher core, and then chase the Ninth..."

Before the king finished his instructions, Lionel's voice forcibly entered the communication channel: "Bring back the experimental subject and the Herrscher core first. This is the commander's order!"

Hen was stunned at first. Is Lionel really going to confront the king this time?

"Lionel! I am the king of this country!" The king's voice seemed to be hinted with anger.

"But I am the commander of this crusade." Lionel's voice was quite calm.

Chapter 271: No Regrets

On the outskirts of Murstein City, the military base of Mu Continent.

Lionel calmly watched the king on the screen with a gloomy face, and once again issued his own instructions to Hen, and launched the next deployment: "Hen, first retrieve the experimental subjects from the city of Murstein, then the armed puppet Black Abyss troops and Skyfire troops will immediately enter Murstein. The Black Abyss troops will search for the traces of the Ninth Herrscher Yanar, and the Skyfire troops will suppress the Ninth Herrscher's companion Honkai beast."

The king stared at Lionel for a while, and then said, "Sir Lionel, your performance has been increasingly disappointing lately."

Lionel was silent.

The king's gaze passed Lionel and fell on Brian behind him, who bowed slightly.

Then the king cut off communications.

Brian looked at his superior who was facing away from him, and tightened his grip on the token. He couldn't help but ask, "Commander Lionel, if you do this, what will happen next..."

"No matter how this matter turns out, I will resign after this. Maybe... no, I should say I will definitely go to a military court." Lionel's tone was quite calm. He did not sound tired as Brian had imagined, but calm.

Brian opened his mouth. The look in the king's eyes just now was very clear. He was urging him to take away Lionel's command. However, Brian hesitated.

Although he felt that Lionel took the Honkai Impact a little too seriously, he could understand it. After all, Lionel's excellence was unquestionable, and excellent people were always prone to getting stuck in a rut and making a mountain out of a molehill.

But the current situation is not suitable for changing generals at the last minute. What's more, this is the first time that Mu Continent has fought head-on with the Herrscher, and it is not the first time that Lionel has commanded a battle with the Herrscher. Therefore, it is very unwise to take out the token and replace Lionel at this time.

The Fire Moth has forcibly intervened in this Herrscher crusade, but that does not mean that Mu Continent will cooperate with the Fire Moth. Even Brian is disgusted by the act of implanting the Herrscher core of the Herrscher of Reason into a little girl for a pseudo-Herscher experiment.

Moreover... the king's repeated orders to Hen without going through Lionel were against procedure.

"Brian, you are the adjutant I promoted, and I recognize your talents. If the command is transferred to you, even if something unexpected happens in the middle, I believe you can control it." Lionel said, turned around and walked past Brian, picking up the combat equipment aside.

"Sir Lionel..."

"You don't have to hide the token in your hand. After today, I won't have the opportunity to command the battle again." Lionel said calmly while putting on the combat equipment specialized for Honkai. "Since I can't go on, this position... must be taken by someone."

"When did you ..."

"I knew it from the beginning." Lionel lowered his eyes, "It's just... I never thought that His Majesty would have such an intention... Lord Brian, the command of the troops outside the city of Murstein will be handed over to you from now on."

"And you, Captain Lionel? Where are you going?"

"I have always been a soldier of Mu Continent, so I will naturally fulfill my duties as a soldier of Mu Continent." Lionel put on his equipment and looked at Brian. "I will personally lead the Black Abyss troops to attack the Ninth Herrscher. I swear on the glory of Mu Continent that I will definitely bring back the Herrscher core of the Ninth Herrscher. The command is left to you, Lord Brian. Can you do it?"

Brian stared at Lionel in a daze. He suddenly felt that anyone could doubt Lionel's position except him. He was the only one who could never doubt Lionel.

Yes, why would he think so... As Lionel's deputy, isn't he the one who sees most of Lionel's words and deeds?

Sir Lionel has been doing everything personally, repeatedly reviewing the combat methods of the armed puppet troops and the coordination between the armed puppets and the soldiers. He has been conscientiously fulfilling the tasks assigned to him by His Majesty the King when he was transferred back from the Fire Moth.

Brian was of course grateful to the King who had raised him, a commoner, but he was also grateful to Sir Lionel who trusted him and promoted him. After all, although Sir Lionel would be the adjutant of the King, he would not necessarily be the spy of the King.

Sir Lionel has the pride of being a noble from the Mu Continent, but he has never been prejudiced against talents that can be used.

No... Not only he couldn't doubt it, even if it would be disrespectful to say it out loud, Brian also thought at this moment that the king couldn't doubt Sir Lionel either.

Brian saluted Lionel and said, "I will obey your orders, Commander Lionel. I will definitely not let you down. So... I wish you good luck in military affairs."

"May the glory of Mu Continent last forever." Lionel clenched his right fist and placed it on his heart.

Just as he had done when he first joined the army and swore an oath to the king on the podium.

"May the glory of Mu Continent... last forever." Brian also said this, but his heart was slightly shaken at this moment.

He watched Lionel go away. When Lionel decided to go to the front line to fight against the Herrscher himself, Brian already knew the commander's thoughts and the ending.

Sir Lionel... is ready to defend his dignity and honor as a soldier of Mu Continent with his life. Even if the king no longer trusts him, he is willing to die to prove his integrity.

He has never and could never betray Mu Dalu.

Brian recalled that when he accompanied Lionel to inspect the already established Black Abyss and Skyfire troops, he had asked Lionel why he was so hardworking. Lionel simply replied, "To be at peace with my conscience, to Mu Continent, and to His Majesty the King."

I heard that Lionel was allowed to enter the palace by the king since he was a child, and he was almost raised by the king...

If that is the case, then, Your Majesty, why do you question Sir Lionel, whom you have watched grow up?

Brian retracted his gaze and stopped his wandering thoughts. Now he was the commander of the Mu Continent's garrison outside the city of Murstein. He did not have much time to think about these things.

This is a responsibility entrusted to him by a soldier, and he must do it well.

Mu Continent Palace.

The king slammed his hand on the desk. Although the video communication was cut off, he could still hear the conversation in the military camp. He naturally heard the conversation between Lionel and Brian.

"What is he thinking? Does he know what he is saying?!" The king gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "I personally led the team to attack the Ninth Herrscher and handed over the command to Brian... Are you protesting to me, Lionel?! Do you have me as your king in your eyes? You feel... wronged, don't you..."

After saying this, the king took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. He felt that even breathing was becoming more and more difficult. This feeling kept reminding him that he was old and he might not be able to stay in this position for a few more years. But what was he leaving for his children?

It is a palace where ministers are constantly quarreling for their own interests, and it is a fire-chasing moth that can compete with Mu Continent.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong. He was the king of this country, the holder of the highest power, but... why did things turn out like this in just a few years? The Fire Chasing Moth, a subsidiary of the United Nations, gradually became powerful enough to challenge the authority of Mu Continent. Beffinger, who he promoted, rebelled at will. Even Lionel, who he watched grow up, learned to disobey him...

He intended to train Lionel to be a regent to assist the next generation of king, but he later discovered that Lionel was too stubborn and outstanding. He persisted in believing in what he thought was right instead of putting the king's interests first. Such a minister... He was also worried that his children would not be able to control him, but would be restrained by him instead.

Moreover, Lionel has always been very concerned about his half-sister, Rovko, who is now the leader of a plan in the Fire Moth and refuses to return to Mu Continent. Beffinger is also his close friend, so he should not have been unaware of Beffinger's defection...

And, most importantly, Lionel's attitude towards Fire Moth is somewhat ambiguous, and he never wants to break up with Fire Moth completely.

There was nothing wrong with his thoughts and actions. Even though there were so many doubts about Lionel, he still let him continue to be the top leader of the Honkai Organization. Wasn't that also a manifestation of his trust in him? It was just that the pseudo-herrscher experiment was too confidential, so in order to ensure that there would be no possibility of leakage, he bypassed Lionel and took the lead directly.

This is normal, isn't it?

What is Lionel feeling wronged about? What is he protesting against?

The king did not realize it, or perhaps he realized it but was still unwilling to admit it. He no longer had the edge and complacency he had when he first ascended the throne. Time had worn away his ambition, so that now he only wanted to maintain the status quo and indulge in the glory he created in his early years. He became suspicious and doubtful. After being "teased" by Mebius, "betrayed" by Beffinger, "rejected" by Davion, and then "disobeyed" by Lionel, he now felt that everyone was challenging his authority and questioning his orders.

"I am still the king of this country... I was the one who pushed for the establishment of the Fire Moth. I promoted Beffinger and Lionel. If I can promote the establishment of one Fire Moth, I can also establish a second one. This continent has never been dependent on you..." The king muttered to himself as if he was trying to prove to someone that he was right.

He looked down at his palm again, and then made a fist gesture: "Only what is held in your own hands is the safest. Even if there is no Lionel, no Feng, and Honkai... it may not be that scary. Augustus should be there by now."

Mu Continent Collapse Observation Center.

Dr. Einstein stared at the captain of the palace guard, Leander, standing in front of her. After a while, she spoke: "Captain Leander, what are you doing here with the palace guard? Or does His Majesty have any wishes that you need to convey in person?"

Leander looked around the observation center, and finally his eyes fell on Blanca and Gresh beside her. He chuckled and said to Dr. Einstein, "Nothing, it's just that His Majesty the King feels that this crusade involves too many things and some are too important. In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, let us come here to take a look, and by the way, sort out more detailed information and submit it later."

"Is that so..." Dr. Einstein thought for a moment, his eyes sweeping over Blanca and Gresh. "Then we can only follow your instructions."

Einstein couldn't understand why the king sent the palace guards here at this time, but considering the situation on Lionel's side, the king was probably a little suspicious of everyone now, or more precisely, everyone who hesitated about his orders.

The so-called organizing more detailed intelligence was just an excuse. Leander's real purpose should be to monitor Grayshu and Blanca, so as to put pressure on Hen. In addition, based on the analysis of some of the intelligence currently obtained, the Fire Moth Fusion Warriors who were discovered entering Mu Continent were led by Feng. Feng was the first to enter Murstein. Other fusion warriors like Alicia, Lilith, Kevin and others also broke through the defense line set up by Mu Continent on the periphery of Murstein and entered Murstein not long ago.

Although the ones who appeared were indeed the top fighters of the Fire Moth, there was still a Kosmo who was missing...

The king's move was, on the one hand, to put pressure on Hen, and on the other hand, he might also be on guard against those fusion warriors who were not present and suddenly attacked here and forcibly took Blanca and Grayshu away.

After all, even Lionel could be suspected. Even if Hen was not keen on participating in the power struggle, based on his past experiences and his relationship with the fusion warriors of the Fire Moth, his position would inevitably be suspected, especially since the successful individual of the Pseudo-Hermenistan experiment was still in Hen's hands.

"Your Majesty... Perhaps you are really old..." Dr. Einstein sighed softly in his heart, "Hmm?"

Suddenly, Einstein discovered that something was wrong with Mu Continent's internal network. An IP address of a research institute was frequently accessing some research projects and data of Mu Continent. Because he had been paying attention to the front-line situation in Murstein, he did not pay much attention to this abnormality.

This was clearly an inside hack...

Chapter 272 What has happened before will happen again

The outskirts of a research institute in Mu Continent.

"Hey, hey, hey, Mostima, aren't you the top hacker? You were exposed so quickly?" Nahaima stared at the armed puppet troops that kept coming to support him and complained speechlessly, "Or did you fail to intercept the armed puppets when you were transmitting information to the outside world before?"

"Why don't you say that you accidentally left someone alive when you were cleaning out all the experimenters here, allowing them to pass on the information?" Mostima replied unhappily in the communicator. "It was only a matter of time before we were discovered. Do you really think the firewall of Mu Continent is made of paper? It would be better to say that I had downloaded half of the data from the Pseudo-Lawyer experiment before I realized that this was a little beyond my expectations."

"How long will it take to download all the existing experimental data on Mu Continent?" Abaddon asked directly.

"Hey, your request is a bit too much." Mostima complained, "After all, this is Mu Continent. Let's not talk about whether the storage device I brought can download all the experimental data of all the experiments. When downloading, I have to guard against them intercepting my data."

"Then let's pick out the important experimental data to recover." Abaddon is the temporary commander of this team. He is one of the more reliable people Zhu Yufeng could find among the fallen angels. Admiller and Lofko are both busy with the God-killing Plan in Europe and didn't come. Naheima, that funny guy, is not considered. Beffinger has to go on another mission alone and is not here. After much deliberation, he can only let Abaddon take command here temporarily.

"Yes, yes, you are the leader this time. I will listen to you. How much time can you buy? I will try my best to download all those confidential files."

Abaddon glanced at the huge crowd of armed puppets outside the institute, and the next second, he released his own artificial collapse: "How much time do you need? We will buy it for you."

Mastema: “…”

So, even Abaddon, who is considered a normal person, is a lunatic. In the fusion warrior team led by Feng, there are really no normal people in the usual sense except for Alicia and himself, right? This man-made collapse is always happening... To be honest, I also want to try it...

Forget it. She was not ready to go to the battlefield yet, nor was she mentally prepared to undergo the fusion warrior surgery. Although within her acquaintance, everyone performed fusion warrior surgery as if it was a piece of cake, and they were all successful, but she had also seen the failures leave.

"Some people...may be born to be saviors, while others are destined to only look up to them." Mostima turned his gaze to the screen that was downloading data. "For a small pawn like me, all I can do is work part-time."

In the past, I was wandering alone in this bizarre world. No one cared about me and I didn’t care about others either. So death didn’t matter to me. I pursued temporary joy in my soul. But this me, slowly... became intertwined with the world that I used to despise.

No, it was never this world that attracted her, because this world had never changed from the beginning to the end.

The source of all changes...

"Is it Lilith, or is it Jaina? Or... is it you, Feng?" Mostima murmured.

Because of the ties, we have to fight hard to live, just to be able to see the people we want to see every day, to be able to return to a home that can accept us every day and say "I'm back". But once we die, there will really be nothing left.

Therefore, she has not yet undergone the Fusion Warrior surgery.

In the past, she didn't understand why the heroes in the books always wanted to sacrifice themselves. Wouldn't it be better to think more about themselves? No one forced them to be heroes, right? Anyway, she would definitely not do it if she was asked to. Now, she still can't understand why heroes choose to sacrifice themselves. Aren't they afraid of death? Don't they have people they care about or people who care about them?

Once a person dies, there is really nothing left.

Since you have no ties to the world, why should you become a hero and embark on a journey to save the world?

Since you are tied to the world, why do you choose to sacrifice yourself and face the nothingness of death?

So... so-called heroes have always existed like in fairy tales. Even if they die, there will still be various opportunities for resurrection. But in such a real world, death is death. No one has ever seen anyone return from the other side of death, and no one knows what is on the other side of death.

So, will Feng finally... become such a hero?

Mostima's fingers operating on the keyboard paused slightly, then he shook his head, threw the idea out of his mind, and continued to fight against the network security personnel of Mu Continent in the cyber world.

Feng is obviously not someone who cares about what will happen to the world, so how could he choose to sacrifice himself for the world? Isn't the Fire Moth still working on the Fire Plan, the Stigma Plan, and other retreat plans? Feng will definitely be the executor of these plans. After all, Feng is the strongest fusion warrior. If civilization is destroyed one day, as the strongest fusion warrior, he must choose to retreat in order to protect the next generation, right?

By then, if I have to die, I will be a cannon fodder that will be useless after the destruction of civilization.
