Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

"?"

Otto was surprised by the jackal, and a certain audience in the distance was also surprised by Otto at this moment.

"Why are you still lying there?"

In Lin Wei's mind, Otto should have jumped up and given the jackal a surprise, a huge scare...

This kind of sudden and preemptive move is more in line with Bishop Otto's personality, right?

But now, he was lying quietly on the ground, letting those constructs play with Yuno's body.

"Could it be... that he has been killed by his own artillery?"

If that's the case, then this ending is too O. Henry, right?!

Lin Wei suddenly had this absurd idea, and then shook his head, because this was too outrageous.

"Otto must have discovered something and decided to hold off for now, right?"

Lin Wei also made the same decision as Otto.

"...No, let's see."

Lin Wei only has one chance. Only when Otto feels that he has won the game, is in control of the overall situation, and is least vigilant of the outside world, is the best time for Lin Wei to take action!

Otherwise, with Otto's top-notch soul steel body, it is very likely that he would sense the danger and dodge the bullet that was originally fatal.

But I don't have a second chance.

"Wait, wait..."

Lin Wei suppressed her restless heart, glanced at the screen, and saw that Stan's "work" was very effective. She still had some time.

But if Otto still doesn't take action next, then I must do something!

Lin Wei made a secret decision.

Chapter 151: Otto who sacrifices himself for others!

From ancient times to the present, the more genuine masters and powerful people are, the more cautious and careful they will be when facing major confrontations.

In martial arts novels, all duels between masters always have a scene like this:

The two top masters stood at a distance from each other, each finding the most comfortable position to stand still, without saying much, just staring at each other with eyes wide open.

They stood there for hours, and the crowd of onlookers were tired of waiting, but they were still so calm and composed...

Whether it is a novelist or a film and television screenwriter, when describing a duel between masters, they generally follow this idea; the more silent, the more like a master they appear.

In contrast, if it is a confrontation between two rookies, there will be no twists and turns, and their style will probably be like this:

An argument was triggered by some unexpected factors, and then quickly escalated into a physical conflict. The process was roughly as follows: first, they faced each other, face to face, glaring at each other fiercely; then they greeted each other's family warmly, and were irritated by each other in various ways; finally, when they were furious and their brains were hot, they rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward to start a fight with noisy and unparalleled fighting, making it as lively as possible.

In the end, the two noobs fought each other for a long time, and it was likely that there was no winner. They each covered their injured arms and pulled away, agreeing to fight again another day...

Tsk, this is the most clichéd standard routine.

The reason for this "routine" is that the more qualified people are to become "masters", they usually have several common characteristics: long-term vision, extraordinary wisdom, firm will, strong energy, keen sense of smell, etc.

And it is precisely because of these common characteristics that they often appear extremely cautious and careful when facing their own kind - because the more real masters fight, the victory or defeat is often just a matter of millimeters;

In order to grasp this subtle "millimeter" for themselves rather than the other party, they will all become cautious, restrain their own edge, and at the same time look for loopholes and weaknesses in the other party...

Therefore, usually, in martial arts novels, in order to prevent the scene from being so awkward, some unexpected factors usually appear in the stalemate between these martial arts masters staring at each other.

Like a gust of wind blowing by, slightly narrowing one of the men's eyes; then the opponent seizes the opportunity, draws his sword and attacks, and the two sides officially begin fighting...

………………

The fantasy world is always based on reality, so some basic rules will always appear to be the same no matter which world it is in.

For example, Otto and Lin Wei at this moment.

In their view, the opponents they are facing at the moment are all dangerous people who deserve their caution, so necessary restraint is necessary.

I won't talk about Otto's relationship with Lin Wei; as for the Jackal's relationship with Otto...

After all, Otto had never seen her before, but in his opinion, he was tricked by her in the underground facility of the biological research institute of that university, and the impression was very deep, so he absolutely did not dare to underestimate her easily.

As for the Jackal, her situation was slightly different from Lin Wei and Otto.

As the most trustworthy of the three people present, she never took anyone else seriously from beginning to end.

However, as the most steadfast member and the most devout believer of the World Serpent, Jackal has great respect for the connotation of the word "fusion warrior"; therefore, although Yuno, this special fusion warrior, looks like an unconscious girl with no power to resist at this moment, Jackal still dares not take it lightly and has to add another layer of insurance to feel at ease.

Therefore, because of these accidental yet reasonable misunderstandings, the scene fell into a subtle awkwardness for a while - a breeze picked up the leaves and swirled through the messy dust, but everyone present was doubtful and restrained, and no one dared to act rashly for a while.

Since the story has become so clichéd, it's natural that there will be a clichéd unexpected factor to break the awkwardness...

………………

At the horizon, between the sea and the sky, the bridge of the EOS, the destiny transport ship.

"Senior! Senior! Senior Jier!"

Because of the collective absence of the two captains, Alvette, who was temporarily acting as the commander, kept shouting into the communicator after launching the attack.

"Please answer when you hear me, Senior!"

But all she got in response was silence with the sound of rustling snowflakes; Alvette's calls also gradually died down.

"Wu, Senior..."

She realized what this would mean.

Because she has seen too many similar things.

Since joining Skymandate and becoming a Valkyrie, she has seen countless seniors, peers, and juniors leave the ranks of Valkyrie for various reasons. Of those, only a handful were able to retire safely, and the vast majority of the remaining...

As a former student of Jier, she knew her former instructor very well. She knew that he would fight to the very end, which also meant...

"Perhaps, this is destined to be our future..."

Alvette bit her lip and thought sadly;

And because she was the one who gave the order to fire, her sadness was even stronger, mixed with some guilt and self-blame.

Although she always looks heartless and innocent; but as the most well-informed person in the entire destiny, how could Alvette really be a foolish person?

After all, most people in this world are just pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth; how many people can be as sincere and heartless as Susanna?

The same thing happened to Yvette. She simply chose to be a heartless person, focusing on her work. This kind of life was simpler and less tiring; at least her heart wasn't tired.

You only need to be a tool that focuses on executing orders, without making any decisions or bearing any consequences.

But now, I am still forced to make this very cruel choice.

Although this was a battle plan that Jier had arbitrarily forced herself to execute, her objections, though strong, were ineffective.

"Alvette, everyone has their own mission, and so do I."

Jier smiled in the communicator and said very cruel words in a gentle tone.

"Everyone will die eventually. It's just a matter of sooner or later. To me, it's all the same..."

"How is this the same?!"

Alvette loudly fights the epidemic.

"Alvette is still as innocent and cute as ever, haha, keep it up."

Jier gave a gentle blessing, and then said with a gentle smile,

"You're right. Every life is precious. But what does one Jelle Mist mean to the millions of residents of the city below me, to prevent them from suffering the same fate as Sky City?"

"She's just an ordinary Valkyrie. She has plenty of destiny..."

"..."

The sound was still in her ears, seemingly gentle, but in fact extremely heavy, making Alvette unable to help but murmur complaints.

"Senior Jie'er, you're really going too far as always..."

No matter how sad I feel, since this is Senior Jier's wish, I must complete this trust!

Alvette shook her head and ordered in a deep voice,

"EOS, full speed ahead, target: Manila! We're going to support Team Snow Lotus!"

"Captain Alvette, our warship is too far away from Manila. It is estimated to take about twenty minutes to arrive."

Another Valkyrie who was a driver in the distance reminded,

"It might be too late."

"This……"

After all, Alvette was a temporary replacement; and she had long been accustomed to following orders and had not used her own brain for a long time. Faced with this kind of question, she was a little at a loss. After thinking for a while, she asked,

"So, how's the main gun?"

Her idea was quite unique: My ship might not arrive in a short while, but the artillery fire can always reach there, right?

"The main gun system is operating normally, energy injection is proceeding smoothly, and it is currently charging."

The Valkyrie, acting as the gunner, skillfully checked the system, looked at the screen, and reported carefully,

"Main gun charging progress: 33.2%; remaining time to complete charging: 5 minutes and 12 seconds..."

"It's a bit low, too slow..."

Yalvet was a little dissatisfied with these two numbers, but she couldn't think of any other solution for a while, so she just gritted her teeth and

"Whatever, just charge it up! EOS main gun, fire!"

"This is!"

Although a little surprised, the gunner still strictly followed the order, checked the parameters and pressed the button.

At the top of the bow, the ferocious gun muzzle, which was still emitting residual heat, began to gather light again. After a moment of silence, it roared again, shooting out a dazzling stream of light, which streaked across the sky.

However, compared to the last full-scale release that had been accumulating for a long time, this second attack seemed a little lacking in momentum;

Even so, this is already deadly enough for the unprotected jackal!

………………

"Hey, what?"

In the distance, Manila.

As the saying goes, "from a high vantage point, one can see far." Lin Wei, in the "best audience seat," was the first to notice a bright point of light suddenly appear on the horizon. Before he could even begin to wonder, he was horrified to see it rapidly enlarge in his sight, apparently approaching in his direction.

What exactly is this? Do I need to explain it?

"Fuck, the people of destiny have gone crazy!"

Lin Wei couldn't help but complain.

"That's your dear Bishop, yet he bombarded us with his main guns repeatedly. How big of a grudge does that have?"

"Could it be that Theresa has been working hard for many years and is taking this opportunity to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

Lin Wei's thoughts began to develop in an outrageous direction again.

"It's almost too late, do you want to hide?"

Yaezakura reminded urgently.

"No, let's see again."

Lin Wei was quite calm.

If the main gun was aimed at him, then he would be unable to escape unless he used his trump card in advance; and if he needed to use his trump card, there would be no difference between using it now and using it the moment before the energy arrived.

And if the target was still Otto's position, the most he would have to do was lie down to prevent himself from being blown off the rooftop by the shockwave...

Therefore, Lin Wei was even looking forward to what was about to happen.

"Hit! Hit hard! It would be best if you could just kill Otto!"

Of course, he also knew that the possibility of such a thing was not high.

Elsewhere, Jackal and Otto were in the very center of the bombardment. As a mortal, she had no chance of survival. Of course, she would probably die painlessly—because Jackal only had eyes for Yuno, unaware of the danger, and still commanded the constructs to "contain" Yuno.

But Otto was the complete opposite of her.
