Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

At least, if she could understand why the other party was interested in Chen Tianwu, she might know what the other party would do next.

Just like this time, she always rushed over after the other party had finished setting up their scheme, and she only fell into that guy's trap time and time again.

This time they only took a little of her blood; who knows what that guy will want next?

"I'm sorry, Lady Durandal..."

Sensing the Valkyrie's disappointment, Anna lowered her head deeply.

"It's alright, it's not your fault. It's just that Bai is too cunning. His Holiness the Bishop will understand."

Seeing this, Durandal quickly comforted her.

Even she and Bishop Otto suffered quite a bit at the hands of [Walter White], let alone Anna, who is only an A-rank Valkyrie.

Upon hearing Durandal's words, Anna lowered her head even further.

She only cared about saving her own life when faced with people asking for help. How can this not be her fault?

At this moment, what she wanted most was not Durandal's comfort, but rather for the other party to severely reprimand her.

Seeing this, Durandal couldn't help but complain to [Walter White] in her heart.

He wouldn't even spare a child like Anna. Can't that guy have some responsibility as the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance?

"And..." Durandal opened her mouth, a hint of hesitation on her face, but after a few seconds of pause, she continued, "Regarding your Snow Lotus Squad, all the Valkyries except you have sacrificed themselves."

Although she really didn't want to talk about it, as a Valkyrie, Anna had to learn to accept it all.

"..."

Anna's eyes widened instantly, and though her mouth opened, she couldn't utter a single word.

Durandal placed her hand on Anna's seemingly frail shoulder, looked directly into the girl's eyes, and said in an extremely serious tone, "As Valkyries, they fought against the Honkai to the very last moment, and they are warriors worthy of respect."

I will consult with His Holiness the Bishop and try to retain the Snow Lotus Squad's organizational structure.

For the Valkyries, the designation is a sacred, almost religious, entity, and also proof that they ever existed.

Durandal believed that Anna, as the vice-captain of the Snow Lotus Squad, certainly did not want the Snow Lotus Squad to be discredited.

"..."

Anna's mouth gaped open in surprise, but she still did not respond to Durandal's words.

At this moment, sadness and guilt completely filled Anna's chest.

As the vice-captain of the Snow Lotus Squad and an A-rank Valkyrie, while her companions persisted in fighting the Honkai, she chose to flee alone.

Even in the end, she couldn't save Chen Tianwu.

What right does she have to inherit the name of the Snow Lotus Squad?

But faced with Durandal's gentle and concerned gaze, Anna still couldn't bring herself to reveal her truest feelings.

"In short, just rest well during this time and don't think too much. Fate will take care of everything else."

Durandal patted Anna on the shoulder and said softly.

"Um……"

Anna nodded slightly, her gaze blank, and let out a soft moan.

Seeing Anna still deeply mired in grief, Durandal felt a pang of pity, but she understood that this was an obstacle Anna had to overcome herself.

After giving a few final words of advice, Durandal rose to say goodbye.

The collapse of Manila is not yet over; she still has many things to deal with.

Just as Durandal was about to leave, Anna suddenly spoke up: "Lady Durandal..."

"Ok?"

Durandal paused, turning back to cast a questioning glance at the girl on the hospital bed.

[Would you feel afraid when faced with the Honkai?]

Although Anna really wanted to ask that, looking at Durandal's incredibly dashing appearance in her military uniform, she ultimately lowered her head and whispered, "Is there really no one else in the Snow Lotus Squad?"

“I’m sorry… they are all respectable warriors.” With her gaze also slightly lowered, Durandal said in a serious tone, “Of course, in that respect, you are the same, Anna.”

Even though they were thwarted by Walter White, he was still trying to help the suffering people.

Upon hearing this, Anna trembled as if struck by a hammer.

She was never a competent Valkyrie.

Even with her eyes closed, she could still hear the cries of the people reaching out for help, and she kept seeing images of them being torn to shreds by Honkai beasts...

Ultimately, she was nothing more than a complete coward and a wimp.

In the simple hospital room where only one person remained, the soft sobs of a young girl could be heard.

Chapter 274 Bai’s invitation

Headquarters of Destiny, Floating Island, Second Airport.

Stepping out of the now-secured floating warship, the blonde girl, surrounded by exclamations such as "Lady Durandal is so cool," "Lady Durandal worked so hard fighting the Honkai," and "Lady Durandal looks beautiful today too," remained completely unmoved.

Over the years, she has long since become accustomed to these things.

Moreover, the will she carries and the path she is about to follow are crystal clear, and no one or nothing can shake them.

"Hehe, it's been a while since I've been back to headquarters. Lady Durandal is still so popular."

Hearing the whispers around them, Rita, who was walking beside her, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Taking the Honkai event that occurred in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, a few months ago as a dividing line, Honkai disasters suddenly increased around the world, which made the Undying Blade team, the ace of Destiny, somewhat exhausted. They had to travel to various places to bring the situation under control.

Even though Durandal, as the strongest Valkyrie, possessed extraordinary strength, the opponent was ultimately only one person, and she was unable to eliminate all the Honkai.

"But as Valkyries, our top priority is to eliminate the Honkai, not to indulge in these compliments."

Faced with her adjutant's teasing, Durandal shook her head with a serious expression.

"Rita certainly knows this too."

"After fighting the Honkai for so long, even Lady Durandal must be feeling tired, right?"

Looking at the blonde girl who always looked so serious, Rita's smile remained gentle, but her eyes, full of laughter, held a hint of heartache.

As the person closest to Durandal, she knew very well the efforts this strongest Valkyrie of Destiny had made to fight against the Honkai.

It is no exaggeration to say that the other party's achievements are as brilliant and countless as the stars in the night sky.

Sometimes, even she would wonder if the other person was some kind of superhuman who could gain infinite power just by basking in the sun.

But deep down, Rita knew that this being who stood at the pinnacle of all the Valkyries in Destiny was just a foolish girl who believed too much in hard work.

"..." Hearing Rita's words, Durandal's usually resolute face showed a hint of weariness, followed by a sigh, "If only that guy Bai would just do his job as the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance properly..."

During the Honkai disasters that occurred during this period, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy did cooperate on a few occasions, but the result was...

It can only be said that the anti-entropy mechs do have their merits, but the opposing commander may not.

Perhaps having learned of their leader's crushing defeat of the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, most of the Anti-Entropy commanders were arrogant and haughty, practically strutting around with their noses in the air.

Therefore, even though the participation of the Anti-Entropy mechs made the front lines much easier, the troubles they caused were no less than those caused by the Honkai.

Regarding this matter, Durandal, in her capacity as a Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie, sent a letter to Anti-Entropy questioning the issue, hoping to find a solution.

But... the response they always gave was that the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance was actively thinking of solutions.

As far as she knew, Walter White, as the leader of Anti-Entropy, was less motivated than Santa Claus, rarely appearing in Anti-Entropy even once a year.

I wonder where that guy is hiding all day long...

Thinking of that bastard who was always leisurely and carefree, while she was constantly running around on various battlefields, Durandal couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Seriously, you keep saying you want to save the world, can't you take any more action?

Even if dealing with anti-entropy matters is troublesome, the mere presence of [Walter White] on the battlefield is already a tremendous help to the situation.

For example, during the Manila collapse a few months ago, more than 300 people were ultimately saved thanks to Walter White's actions, and this was the result of his casual actions.

On the front lines, [Walter White], who possesses the power to manipulate ice and snow, is indeed more effective than this S-rank Valkyrie who can only rely on her fists and lances.

"Actually, the best outcome would be if Walter didn't become the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance."

As she spoke softly, a hint of coldness crept into Rita's smile.

If she had the strength to do so, she would have cut that [Walter White] into 108 pieces with her scythe.

To humiliate Lady Durandal time and time again, is she treating Rita as if she doesn't exist?

Even though that guy clearly had himself written all over his face as a villain, the naive Durandal still believed he was a good person and thought that [Walter White] could still be saved.

“Hmm…” With a slight frown, Durandal seriously considered the rationale behind Rita’s suggestion. “It does seem that way.”

If someone else had been the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, those commanders wouldn't have acted so recklessly and caused so much trouble.

Before the maid could offer another opinion, Durandal gently shook her head: "But we cannot interfere with the internal affairs of Anti-Entropy."

While Walter White's ability to become the leader of Anti-Entropy certainly stems from his own strength, most members of Anti-Entropy also approve of him.

At least, Durandal hasn't heard anything that could force the other party to step down.

The most popular demand in the anti-entropy movement is simply to let [Walter White] work a few more days, with the standard even lowered to the point of only needing to work one day a year.

As the mainstay of Destiny's combat power, Durandal's working hours are usually maintained at more than 300 days per year.

Thinking about this, the girl's resentment deepened.

"Those who implement anti-entropy are too cowardly."

Rita criticized him mercilessly.

If those anti-entropy enforcers had been more assertive on the issue of the leader, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

"Didn't Bishop Otto also bow down to that guy Bai?"

Durandal added very sincerely.

Rita: “…”

While that is indeed the case, as Valkyries of Destiny, shouldn't we give the Bishop some face?

"But why would that person act in the name of [Walter]?"

Rita frowned slightly, puzzled.

Based on the information she has so far, she can't see any connection between the Kaslana bloodline and the name "Walter".

From a bloodline perspective, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use the name "Siegfried" than "Walter"?

"Moreover, the mercenary who used to be by Bai's side has also disappeared."

Durandal pointed out another point of doubt.

Not only did he disappear from Walter White's side, but there was also no trace of the Raven through other channels, as if he had completely vanished from the face of the earth.

Durandal had a premonition that there must be some connection between the two.

They simply haven't realized it yet.

As they were pondering, a girl dressed in an ordinary Valkyrie uniform appeared before them and respectfully handed them an envelope: "Lady Durandal, there is a letter for you."

"A letter? Who sent it?"

Durandal looked at the simple envelope in the Valkyrie's hand with a puzzled expression.

We live in the information age now, who in their right mind would still send letters?

"We don't know about that, but the recipient's name is listed as Lady Durandal."

The Valkyrie confessed honestly.

"Hehe, probably another fan of Where is Lady Durandal."

Rita chuckled softly.

In this era, physical letters are rarely used between friends and acquaintances, but Durandal still receives quite a few letters from fans every month.

Whether within the Valkyrie forces or among the civilians whom Durandal had saved, the girl has never lacked admirers.

However... compared to those letters, this one seems rather plain and brief.
