Collapse of the Three Flame Laws, start the game to challenge the eternal burning of the fire

at the same time.

Far Eastern Branch, St. Freya Academy.

It is now night, and a pile of dark clouds covers the distant horizon. The road to the ends of the earth flows under the overcast sky, as if it leads to the deepest part of endless darkness.

Wuliangta Jizi stood at the edge of the darkness, looking silently at the night in the distance.

Dark clouds covered the city, threatening to destroy it; soul-stirring shouts and fighting echoed in her ears.

In the endless darkness, there is no light, no warmth, only fear and confusion rippling in my ears.

There was only fire and smoke in the sky, and there was only fear and death outside the academy. She held a heavy sword in her hand, and the roar of artillery continued. Many mechas were hit by stray bullets, and with a burst of fierce gunfire and screams, blood was spilled on the battlefield.

Seeing the blood staining the clothes red, the mechas roared and the shouts were deep.

At this moment, she thought of a lot.

"Tsk~ Instead of dying at the hands of the Herrscher, they are dying at the hands of Fate. What a bunch of beasts."

Wuliangta Jizi took a final sip of her favorite liquor and muttered to herself.

She didn't dare drink too much, for fear of losing her mind and delaying the battle.

Ji Zi slowly stretched out her waiting hands to touch, but was blocked by the transparent darkness.

"Hu~" She took a long breath and picked up the heavy sword.

Just a few hours ago, Muliangta Himeko was sleeping comfortably in her bed.

Because I had been drinking too much recently and felt weak and had a fever, I asked Theresa for a day off.

Valkyries are not gods. They can get fever, get sick, and feel tired. They are just better at fighting than ordinary people.

It may be that in recent years, due to the heavy erosion of Honkai, her physical condition has gradually weakened, which is why she fell ill.

Fortunately, she took a leave of absence, otherwise, if she and Theresa and the others went to Haiyuan City, St. Freya Academy would be without a commander.

If that happens, it won’t be long before Destiny invades the school.

I don't know what they were thinking. It was clearly your own branch, but they declared rebellion and then came to attack you.

"How ridiculous! It's just to challenge the space, but you say it in such a high-sounding way, huh!"

Wuliangta Jizi was burning with anger.

Since the Far East Branch is the branch farthest from the Mandate Headquarters, Otto's large force has not arrived so quickly.

The first wave of mecha attacks just now has been blocked by them!

Fortunately, Theresa had built a mecha defense line before, which was able to barely block Tianming's fierce attack!

She understood that the so-called crusade was actually plunder.

Otto's goal is to challenge the space within the academy!

"Major Jizi, the large force of Tianming is about to arrive. Currently, 60% of our mecha defense line is damaged, and only less than 30% can fully fight, and a large number of pilots have been killed in the explosion."

A Valkyrie from the Far East Branch reported nervously beside Himeko.

In this battle, Tianming seemed to know that they had a lot of defending mechas, so he sent out a dense array of suicide mechas like a tide.

Each self-destructive mecha is like a fast-moving spider. Often, their mechas are brought to the front before they can attack.

A tiny self-destruct mecha can be destroyed together with a Titan mecha weighing several tons!

The blow this will cause to the Far East Branch is beyond our expectations!

You know, after Kiana's team, Yundeng and Theresa went out, the combat effectiveness of their Far East branch was very limited.

All in all, there are only Wuliangta Jizi, Benares, and the mecha defense line.

There are not even a few A-rank Valkyries in the academy.

On the battlefield, especially in mecha battles, they can't exert much combat effectiveness at all.

At this moment, Himeko Murata was standing on the top of the wall, and behind her was St. Freya Academy.

An academy that allows all Valkyries to grow healthily and does not treat them as consumables.

It’s where she and Theresa really put their hearts and souls into it.

It is also the place where she has lived for many years.

After withdrawing from the front line of the battlefield, Muliangta Himeko has grown from a young girl to a self-reliant teacher.

So many stories happened to her in this small school.

There have been too many regrets and dreams, carrying too many traces of time and hope.

The fence that was raised three times every time they went to catch Kiana, the school cafeteria where Theresa asked students to eat more vegetables and had bitter melon for every meal, the mark of Theresa carved on the century-old tree in the center of the school that never grew taller, the playground where Bronya dug a hole and hid the Homunculus comics inside as a treasure...

"I really want to have another drink." She murmured to herself.

But it's okay.

As long as she dies.

After his death as the supreme commander.

The children in the academy will be fine.

They were all ordered by me to go into the air-raid shelter just now.

As irrelevant personnel, they will definitely be incorporated into the Tianming Headquarters again.

This is just the battlefield between her, the commander of the Far East Branch, and the Destiny Headquarters!

Jizi looked into the dark night in the distance.

The dark black sky seemed pitch dark, without any temperature or even starlight.

In this world, there are some roads that you have to face alone and travel alone. No matter how long and far the road is, no matter how dark the night is, you have to walk on alone in silence.

Children, after I die, you will understand that some things cannot be avoided.

For the sake of profit, people can be ruthless even if it means betrayal, even if it is against the saplings they planted with their own hands.

You must learn what love is and what life is.

This world is not just about interests, but more about love and life.

After I die, you will understand that the ideals of St. Freya Academy will live on in your hearts.

Ji Zi muttered to herself.

The cold wind blew up the ends of her hair, causing the veteran soldier to squint her eyes.

Ji Zi looked back, and suddenly, she saw countless silent eyes.

Innocent, Perseverant, Hopeful...

They are the Valkyries of the academy.

All the Valkyries gathered at the back, and under the dim white light, they looked like stubborn green pines.

Some of them are freshmen who just started school in the fall and have only been here for a month.

Some are logistics personnel who are unable to continue fighting on the battlefield due to physical injuries.

The vast majority of them were brought in by Theresa from other branches or headquarters of Tianming.

"What are you doing out here? The Tianming army will be here soon, hurry back to the air-raid shelter!"

Ji Zi was stunned. Even though she felt sad, she understood the situation and shouted immediately.

"Major Jizi, they don't want to hide in there..." the adjutant beside him whispered.

"What are you doing, a bunch of kids, why are you playing a war game instead of hiding inside?!" Ji Zi clenched her fingers holding the sword, her face flushed red from anger or excitement, "Fighting is a matter for adults, don't interfere."

After she finished speaking, she found that no one moved, and they were all as stubborn as a rock. Seeing this, Ji Zi knew that being tough wouldn't work, so she softened her tone and spoke in a tone that was almost consoling.

"As long as you don't take action, you are still students of Tianming, and Otto will not do anything to you."

"But once you take action, you will be called a traitor in their eyes! According to the relevant regulations, you will be executed! Heaven's will not show any mercy. Many of you are veterans from there, you should know this!"

"..."

There was a moment of silence; she could only see determined looks in everyone's eyes.

The breeze blowing through their hair seemed to roll up a bunch of banners that would never fall. It was their ideals that brought them together.

Among them, a chubby Valkyrie stood up and shouted, "Major Himeko, we all know this. We took the initiative. We swear to live and die with the academy!"

"Yes! Why do they call us traitors? Does the headquarters have such great power?"

Under the wall, the Valkyries were all furious. The anger had already burned among the crowd, like a raging fire.

The weeds of resistance have turned into an eternal fire, a flame that cannot be extinguished by darkness.

"We don't know what rebellion is. We only know that it was Principal Theresa who gave us everything and allowed us to live like ordinary girls instead of being a tool like a 'Valkyrie'"!

"At the headquarters, they don't treat us as human beings. Even if the mission can be replaced by mechas, they will use our lives instead because it is too expensive! Why? Why do we live here peacefully, and they still come to harm us?"

"It was the principal who made us understand what love is and what life is. This is our home!"

"They are going to destroy our home. How can we just hide in the bomb shelter and watch?"

Listening to their words, Ji Zi suddenly understood.

This was the philosophy of St. Freya Academy that Theresa had told her about.

At first, she felt it was too abstract and how could she possibly teach just by teaching.

"Jizi, come with me to the Far East. I want to establish a school there, a school with completely different philosophies from Tianming. I want to see another completely different world and teach them what love and hope are."

"What? You want to start a school? That kind of thing is impossible to succeed."

"Help me, Himeko-chan! When you come here, you'll be the vice-principal!"

"Tsk~ I'm not interested in this. As long as you can be nice to the Valkyries, that's enough. Very few of us old Valkyries who have been laid off can live to the age of thirty. As long as you can help the Valkyries spend their old age in peace, I'll be satisfied."

"..."

Let these children who have not yet grown up grow up normally and healthily, teach them love and hope, rather than using them as tools to be used and discarded.

Now, after so many years, the small trees have grown up and want to form an umbrella to protect the academy.

Although light is only a brief moment, darkness is eternal.

But it was this brief moment of light that gave birth to life and hope.

They all came from darkness, but were destined to pursue the light throughout their lives.

This is what Theresa wanted to see.

This was everything she had been waiting for.

Ji Zi felt a little warm in the corners of her eyes and her heart ached, but she couldn't cry. As the pillar of the family, she couldn't cry.

She had no choice but to wipe away the warmth from the corners of her eyes with her fingers and then turned her back.

Her mood was not as calm as she appeared.

His fingertips were trembling slightly, his heart was beating violently, and even his lips were becoming dry.

In the back, the Valkyries in the academy breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Himeko Muliangta remaining silent.

Jizi is their teacher and their superior, and is usually a very commanding presence.

The current situation is still very stressful.

At this moment, Wuliangta Jizi closed her eyes.

The battlefield is not as pure as they hope.

The night is long and endless, and there is still a long time before dawn. This period of time is very difficult to endure.

Someone dies every second.

A chilling feeling penetrated from the heart to the whole body. Watching the death of his companions, he couldn't even cry.

I can only sob, my soul trembles, and my heart shakes.

She recalled the moment many years ago when the captain died at the hands of the Herrscher of the Void.

At that moment, I was just a little girl who knew nothing and believed that the future would be rosy with romance.
