I'm not Yingjie

It was the first time that Delta saw the disaster scene caused by the Herrscher at such a close distance. It was like the end of the world, giving people a strong sense of oppression from the visual sense.

In order to avoid being dragged in, they set up a temporary operations headquarters fifteen kilometers away from the city. Even at this distance, they could capture the wind field covering the entire city.

This is what a living Herrscher can do...

In shock, Delta used a communicator to contact Lin who was in the storm.

"Lin, has the communication been disrupted?"

"...Huh, are you nearby?" After a while, Lin responded.

"How are you doing in there?"

"Not too optimistic."

Lin leaned back with his hands on the ground, kicked the two Honkai beasts away with his feet, and was about to attack them again when four tentacles stabbed at his back from behind.

"Tack, tick, tick..."

The bullet accurately smashed the tentacles, and Lin took this opportunity to throw out the hook to tie up the two Honkai beasts, and pulled out the Plasma Shadow Show to cut them in half.

After supporting Lin, Kevin turned around to resist the Honkai beast on the other side.

Compared to an hour ago, the city is now full of Honkai beasts. The new Honkai beasts that fell from the sky have become the new masters of this city. These are the "ambushes" that the Herrscher had prepared long ago.

The power of each individual is not strong, but they are as densely packed as insects. They are all marine creatures that were eroded when the Herrscher was born.

"Tsk... This is troublesome." Delta looked at the sky in the distance solemnly. Although he couldn't see it, he knew there was an extraordinary existence above it. "The wind field alone is enough to block flying objects outside. We have tried to use fighter jets to shoot down the Herrscher, but failed. All of them were destroyed."

I have seen "fireworks" blooming in the sky not long ago.

While killing the Honkai Beast, Lin asked, "Where's the Titan?"

"The anti-gravity flight system can ignore the wind field." Delta looked back at the fully armed Titan. The remaining parameters can be completed in less than an hour. "But now there is another problem."

"Driver..." Lin murmured.

Delta's hair fluttered in the wind. "The neural connection was added for better control, but now it has become an obstacle to driving... And even if the combatants can handle the load, they have no driving experience."

It's a completely desperate situation.

Delta sighed and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, you were probably abandoned. After the fighter planes failed in their attempt to fight, the headquarters did not issue any further orders. It is very likely that they used your lives to buy time to discuss countermeasures, and then after the Herrschers killed all of you, they would lift the wind field and continue the fight."

"..."

After such a long period of no response, Lin also thought that they were probably being used as pawns.

It only takes three teams to get time to discuss countermeasures against the Herrscher, which is a pretty good deal.

If Lin was alone, he would try his best to delay time, but he was far from being the only one in the city at this time. There were other combatants and some residents who had not left yet.

He must...

Suddenly, a voice that sounded somewhat relieved and somewhat self-blaming was heard.

"Lin, I think I should tell you something."

Delta bent his legs and sat on the ground. He looked into the distance with a complicated expression, where Lin might be fighting.

Just like then.

"I lied."

"..."

He took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.

There are no flying birds. How can there be birds flapping their wings and flying high in such violent weather?

"You once asked me why I treated you so well. I told you it was because you were willing to join the battle even though you were not special." Delta laughed at himself and stretched out his voice. "I was lying to you."

"I can't tell whether I saw my past or the shadow of another person in you, but I know I must have seen you as a substitute for that person."

"I lived in the rear, and he went to the front line."

Every time one name after another appeared in the Fire Moth Cemetery, Delta would ask himself, was the choice he made at that time really the right one?

If only he could fight alongside these people, if only... he was the one who died at that time.

Until that man died on the front line, until Lin appeared in front of him.

"Why are you saying it now?" Lin asked.

“Hehe… why…” Delta clenched his fists with a wry smile, “Maybe it’s because there were a lot of things I didn’t have the chance to say to that person back then. If I don’t say it now, I may never have the chance again in the future. For example, there are many weapons and equipment that he has always fantasized about…”

Is that why you usually talk so much to Lin?

"I know."

"You know...ah? You know?" Delta's expression was filled with surprise, and the emotions that had just been brewing disappeared.

Lin said calmly: "I checked it out."

"..."

Suddenly Delta felt that this made sense, after all, it was Lin.

"You already knew, why do you keep coming to me?" Delta asked awkwardly. The feeling of being exposed was really strange. "I treat you as another person. Most people would find it unreasonable."

"People naturally miss the past, so you don't have to be too hard on yourself."

In the end, it was Lin who came to comfort him.

"I need your strength to save more people, that's all."

"..."

Save more people?

I think someone has said this before.

Delta took a deep breath and focused his eyes.

"I see."

……

After hanging up the phone, Lin pulled out Raikiri with his other hand, and with both swords out, he ran wildly in the wind. The blooming blood and the chopped-off corpse of the Honkai beast were all swept into the wind.

"Lin! The Emperor-level Honkai Beast is approaching!"

The huge red dot on the detector was approaching their location, and a dark shadow covering the sky and the sun was looming over everyone's heads.

By flapping its pectoral fins, it changes the direction of the strong wind, and its tail fin sweeps through tall buildings as easily as knocking down a sand castle.

The members of the Fire Moth raised their heads and looked up at the huge monster floating in the air.

Kevin gripped his rifle tightly, his messy hair flying in the wind and rain. "Is that... a manta ray?"

An unimaginably large manta ray "swam" over in the air!

Not in the sea water, but flying freely in the air like in the deep sea.

Just a rough estimate showed that its length was over 200 meters, and its outstretched pectoral fins were so large that it was unimaginable, like a monster from a nightmare.

"What should I do...what is that?" Kevin gritted his teeth and thought about a countermeasure when he caught a glimpse of a figure standing on a building in the monster's path.

Because the wind pressure stirred up by the emperor-level Honkai beast dispersed the rain and fog around him, he clearly saw that it was an ordinary person who was not wearing power armor.

"Oh no!" Kevin's face changed drastically and he immediately ran in that direction.

Chapter 4: Counterattack

The boy stood at the edge of the building.

The raging winds have devastated this already dire city.

What is this, the end of the world?

His green-brown hair was blown into a mess, and his clear yellow pupils reflected the terrifying body that was gradually approaching in the wind and rain. His fingers gradually clenched the prepared explosives.

Was all this caused by this monster?

"howl--"

The trombone blew loudly and the boy half-crouched on the ground to resist the wind pressure. He clenched his teeth and stared at the monster.

For his hometown? Such a reason seemed too noble, and he did not have such a profound thought.

But he didn't think much about it and just stood there. Perhaps it was his ideal of becoming a hero that was at work.

Perhaps after his death, someone will come here to mourn him and place a bouquet of flowers on his grave.

coming.

After getting close enough, the young man jumped out from the edge of the rooftop with a calm look. He was going to jump into the monster's mouth and use explosives to blow through what he thought was the weakest part.

"Wow..."

The wind is so strong.

He couldn't open his eyes and could only move forward based on his intuition.

Can he succeed with this level of romance?

In any case, there is no turning back.

"Snapped!"

A strong hand suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him back from the rooftop.

"Civilians? Why are you still here? Didn't you seek shelter before?!"

The young boy was thrown to the ground in a daze. He blinked and found that he was not in the air.

A white-haired man in sci-fi style armor stood in front of him, his figure standing in the wind with a gun in his hand like a javelin.

Who is this?

After a brief pause, the boy asked, "Who are you?"

"If you don't want to die, leave here right now, run in the opposite direction, away from those monsters! You can't deal with them!"

Kevin didn't expect that there was still a child staying here at this time, and from his behavior, he actually wanted to fight the emperor-level Honkai beast.

"The attack of the Fourth Herrscher is intensifying. You must go to a location close to the edge of the city but not to the outermost part, otherwise you will be torn apart by the storm!"

"The Fourth Herrscher?" The boy pointed at the large manta ray, "Is that the monster?"

"Those are just her followers! These wind fields, wind clusters, and tornadoes were all created by the Fourth Herrscher at her will!"

"Family?!"

The boy repeated the word in shock.

This monster that blocks out the sun and defies common sense, an alien that can blow itself away with just a flap of its wings, is actually just a subordinate of another monster?

Moreover, the wind field that has enveloped the city since a month ago and the storms that have raged in the city were actually created by the Fourth Herrscher!

Despair and fear surged in my heart.

"Leave now, we will stop her." Kevin's eyes swept over the boy's name tag, "Your name is Kosmo, right? My name is Kevin. You are great, so for your own life, stay alive."

This young man is just like himself when he was in Changkong City, but he is braver.

After a moment of silence, Kosmo shouted with all his might: "Please let me stay and be your assistant!"

The look in his eyes changed.

Clearly, just a second ago, he was filled with fear and panic, but now he was desperate and determined to die.

This looks very similar to Lin.

"Kevin, what are you doing?"

Lin's contact was interspersed into the conversation between the two at this time.

"I found a civilian, a child," Kevin replied.

"The Emperor-level Honkai Beast is about to destroy your coordinates. Evacuate immediately."

Kevin nodded and looked at the determined Kosmo: "Okay, now follow me."

"What should I do?"

"Counterattack with my companions."
