Get as far away from me as possible!

Elsa thought so, but she didn't.

She wasn't from a noble family; she joined the Valkyrie unit only through the combined financial support of her uncles and elders in the village. She had finally gotten this opportunity, and had faced countless life-or-death situations to reach this place. She couldn't leave; she couldn't let everyone down.

She cannot afford to lose; if she acts willfully, she will lose everything.

This is one of the many problems that all children from ordinary families have to face.

Okay, no problem.

Elsa discovers that her painstaking efforts, which she nearly lost her life over, have been stolen effortlessly by a group of thieves. She has no choice but to swallow her anger, greet them with a smile, and offer them up with both hands.

In reality, you can't outmaneuver the families behind the other side, so you can only endure it.

Aisha not only lacks a powerful ally, but also has many people who rely on her.

Once upon a time, Elsa also had other talents she felt were quite good, such as singing and painting.

What good is talent if you end up taking a seemingly more reliable path?

Unlike other classes that require resources, Valkyries only need hard work and talent.

As long as you're not afraid of death, killing more Honkai Beasts and Death Knights will allow you to go further. Although other nobles may occasionally steal your results, other classes also face the same problem, making the Valkyrie's situation relatively easier.

It's hard to judge Elsa of the Valkyrie Squad now, but since her idol is Captain Kallen, she truly deserves the title of Valkyrie.

Noble character, great strength, and always thinking of the people at the bottom.

Such nobles are truly rare. Karen Elsa has never met such a holy Valkyrie before. Other noble Valkyries are simply tarnishing the name.

Because throughout all those years of fighting, Karen has protected the people's faith without ever wavering.

This is a fact known to everyone in the entire world.

“A true nobleman may admit to looking down on commoners, but will always be willing to fight to the death for them. A proud person should use pride to restrain himself from doing noble things and not use pride to condemn others as lowly. A person may feel proud, but when he uses his pride to condemn others as lowly, he also loses the proud and noble soul that should match it.”

When Elsa explained the situation to the nobles, Karen solemnly revealed her true thoughts. Although she now had an extra worry, she would never forget her duty as Kaslana.

She lived for this, and naturally she should die for it as well.

"Captain Karen, don't you think they're civilians?" Aisha asked hesitantly, her ten fingers nervously interlacing.

Karen said calmly, "I look down on every commoner and nobleman equally."

“I am Kaslana, and I am also a Valkyrie.”

"Regardless of their identity or belief, I will protect them!"

There are countless hardships in the world, and there is never a smooth road from beginning to end. The most difficult path is precisely the one that is most challenging.

The most terrifying aspect of Honkai is not its ability to erode everything, but also its ability to generate devastating natural disasters.

It makes death seem lighter; a single word can take a person's life away, whether it be calm or turbulent. People become numb to death, and they begin to disregard the preciousness of life.

So much so that the entire era was not surprised to see people die under the collapse.

But only those who remain steadfast and passionate from the beginning know that life should not be treated so lightly.

Honkai can easily take people's lives, but humanity should not easily take the lives of its fellow human beings.

To protect the living, and also to protect the dead

As the title suggests, feel free to tag me in the group with your thoughts and opinions on the plot and characters.

Also, don't make it too erotic; the group for my last book exploded within two days, it was terrifying.

The author is afraid to engage in political discussions.

The original chapter about being executed by firing squad will be posted in the group.

Going to write; there will be two updates today.

Chapter 45 Old man, you're due to get some gold coins!

At that moment, Otto, who was eavesdropping outside the door, turned around, his face calm, and sighed.

"After the Eastern Expedition ends and we return to manufacture the antidote for the Black Death, we should do something."

Void Treasury: What are you going to do?

"Let the old folks collect some gold coins."

Otto calmly replied that, if his words were applied to the entire era, they would be considered rebellious: he did not want to betray his class, but rather wanted to seize power.

Otto wants to create a world where both Karen can live carefree lives!

Karen believed in the sacred, and that the saint's light should shine upon all people, not be obscured by filthy desires.

If one can control the power of the black box, one can make all those who stand in one's way submit.

"Ahem," Otto cleared his throat, straightened his wrinkled collar, gently knocked on the door, and asked in a warm voice, "Karen, are you in there?"

“Otto? I’m here, come in.” Karen turned around, somewhat surprised.

Otto doesn't come to the Valkyrie unit often. Most of the time, well, he seems to be too busy. Apart from knowing that he's doing research, I don't know anything else about him.

Otto politely pushed open the door, his warm smile carrying the soft, hazy light filtering through the window, his emerald eyes sparkling.

"Hello, I am Otto, Otto Apocalypse." Otto greeted Aisha with a smile.

Aisha looked at Karen, somewhat bewildered, and scratched her head.

I was a little flattered. After all, it was rare to see someone as important as Otto so calm and friendly. He usually had a calm expression when we met, and I couldn't tell if he was emotional at all.

Neither Aisha nor Dumb Otto was stupid. After greeting her, Otto's gaze didn't even linger on her for more than a second before returning to Karen.

In an instant, his bright green eyes seemed to come back to life, like withered trees blossoming in spring.

That being said, it's possible that Otto could help her in a certain place; otherwise, even if a commoner Valkyrie is strong enough, it would take a long time to climb to a position.

Otto only allowed reports on Captain Karen.

But Aisha knew it wasn't out of malice or treachery, and out of genuine concern.

For example, Captain Karen might suddenly wake up at night, feel very hungry, and want to drink a sugary drink, so she has to immediately run to communicate with Otto.

Then Elsa would see Otto rush home in a panic, rushing back in a flurry, sometimes with his collar not even straightened.

He kept muttering to himself, showing none of the aristocratic demeanor he displayed during the day, like a child who had obtained something he longed for.

Well, although it's a bit strange, it's rare to see Apocalypse nobles with a pure and innocent side, to be precise, almost none. The Apocalypse family has always been extreme, extremely profit-seeking and harm-avoiding.

Captain Karen should be told the truth about any bad things, troubles, or important matters that happen to her.

For example, you should tell him about beating up the second squad leader yesterday, or about being ripped off by someone while shopping, even if it seems trivial to an ordinary person.

This forced Elsa to write a report every night, especially in winter, when she would brave the cold wind to secretly go to the place they had agreed to meet.

If Otto is not here, keep the written content safe.

Otto even gave her a "novelty" and secretly filmed Captain Karen.

That's right, Elsa Otto was placed next to Karen.

In exchange, all the help Aisha received from the Valkyrie uncles and aunts was given a good job, and Otto, in the name of Apocalypse, arranged for the job leaders to take care of them.

The village also needs renovation, and all infrastructure needs to be greatly improved.

She no longer needed to worry about other nobles stealing her credit, but instead rose through the ranks to become the vice captain of the Valkyrie Force.

They even provided her with better weapons, causing Aisha to completely fall for them and become extremely grateful.

Waaaaah, Captain Karen, I'm so sorry!! But Otto gave me way too much!

"Otto, what do you want from me? I might not have much time if we go out to play. But if we go shopping, that's fine. I can patrol while we're at it, so it won't interfere with the mission." Karen was completely unaware of the relationship between Otto and Aisha.

Otto gave Elsa a look, and Elsa immediately understood.

"Oh no, Captain Karen, my stomach hurts, I have to go!" Aisha dashed out the door and slammed it shut behind her.

Seeing that Aisha had left obediently, Otto got straight to the point: "As long as you're happy, I can temporarily put aside the experiment and go on patrol with you. But I have something else I want to tell you, Karen. Schicksal is preparing for an eastern expedition in three days, and you are the first person selected for the expedition, as well as the person the castle has designated to go."

"What?" Karen clenched her hands, but then helplessly let go.

Otto had told her the news earlier.

But it is an unjust war, and moreover, regardless of victory or defeat, only ordinary people suffer.

Whether it's the Heavenly Mandate Army or the soldiers of the Divine Land, there will inevitably be casualties in any battle between the two sides.

The death of one person brings pain to a family, and war inevitably leads to countless misfortunes.

But she was powerless to stop it and could only watch helplessly as those in power sacrificed the happiness of many people to seize more benefits, even while claiming to be righteous.

"I want to prevent war from happening. Otto, although I know this request is unreasonable, I would like to ask you to help me think of a way. Even if it cannot be prevented, I would like to reduce the occurrence of such tragedies as much as possible."

Otto paused for two seconds, then smiled, a thought that only Karen could utter.

She might even fight to the death for it, whereas others would probably only think about it, vent their indignation, and eventually let it go when they realize they can't stop it.

"Of course I have a way. Leave it to me. The Eastern Expedition won't bring too much misfortune to many people. I will stop it," Otto said confidently.

Void Treasury scoffed at this, because upon hearing the first thing Otto thought about the Eastern Expedition, "Great! If we can kill all those old bastards' guards, we can overthrow their rule even faster. Ideally, we should make the entire Destiny's fighting force lose most of its strength!"

"Those old fogies don't know that the Valkyrie who climbed up from the bottom has received my favor and is currently under my command. After the Eastern Expedition ends, when the power of the Destiny is depleted, I will directly raise an army and become independent. There's no rush to raise the banner of rebellion; I can conserve my strength. I need the Black Death cure to gain more people's approval."

"It seems that Golden-Eyed Kallen is also hoping that I can develop an antidote. Hmm, I must do my best, no, I must give the most perfect answer!"

Otto initially intended to wipe out the entire Eastern Expeditionary Army affiliated with Schicksal, except for Valkyrie.

However, considering that Karen was also among them, she probably hoped for fewer casualties and thus changed her plans at the last minute.

Chapter 46 Lychees! What lychees are you asking me to bring?!

Karen looked up, staring at Otto in disbelief.

"Really?" Karen looked shocked; she never imagined Otto could do something like that.

Otto patted his chest confidently: "Of course, when would I lie to you? Aren't we going to save the world together?"

Otto paused for a few seconds, his pupils slightly unfocused. Although his gaze was fixed on Karen, it seemed as if he were speaking to someone else.

"You have saved me so many times, both spiritually and physically. I will always stand behind you and support you."

“Alright, let me plan the most crucial part first. Karen, please sit down and listen carefully.” Otto gestured for Karen to sit down.

"?I"

Karen's ears began to burn, her eyes darted around, and she tried to twist her legs, but found that something was still wrong.

He stammered, "I'll stand still, I'll stand still, no problem."

Here we go again. Otto is bewildered. Is Karen troubled again? She repeats the same thing three times in a row, and the time it takes to finish is 0.2 seconds less than the last time. Does this mean she's not troubled, just a little embarrassed?

"Sit down, Karen? Why not sit down?" Otto was puzzled. "I might be gone for half a day, so it's better if you sit down and listen. I brought some desserts and drinks today, so we can have afternoon tea, like in the evening, cough cough, like we can chat and enjoy the food together."

Karen was flustered and at a loss. Sitting down wasn't a big problem, but there might have been a conditioned reflex the moment she sat down.

My butt is all wet and sticky now.

Kaslana's constitution is extraordinary, and she is no exception when it comes to bleeding.

Otto was clearly unaware of the problem, or in his eyes, she would never be in such an embarrassing situation.

Karen made up an excuse: "Where are the desserts and drinks? Why don't you go back and get them?"

Otto calmly replied, "Don't worry, I left the desserts and drinks outside the door. I'll go get them right away!"

As Otto turned around, Kallen's pupils contracted to the size of wheat awns—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

He dashed to the chair in a flash, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes with difficulty, and quickly sat down.

In an instant, the feeling of the wound tearing spread throughout her body. Karen couldn't help but twitch, her legs tightly pressed together, and then she rubbed them together repeatedly, her knees rubbing against each other.

That's so embarrassing! We'd better hurry back after we finish eating.

Otto happily carried over a large plate of desserts and drinks, placed it steadily in front of Karen, and looked on expectantly.

"Karen, eat first, and I'll slowly explain the most important part of my plan to you."

For some reason, Karen felt her appetite was poor today, but she couldn't refuse Otto's invitation.

They took such good care of me, it would be a shame not to eat it.

But I have no appetite and feel like I'm about to faint. I need him to come out and help me.

"A shooting star and white feather are tucked into his waist; the sword flower and autumn lotus light emerge from its sheath. A celestial being descends from the Jade Gate, shining like snow; enemy arrows shoot like sand at his golden armor."
