Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

The progress bar for encryption cracking quickly loaded to 100%, and a short message and some image data appeared immediately. Looking at the overwhelming swarm of Honkai Beasts flying in a certain direction in the image in front of him, the captain suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"They will arrive soon. Please be extremely careful. To your student————Rita"

As someone who has left traces in more than one civilization, the captain understands better than anyone what the large number of Honkaiju beasts and their resurgence portend.

Those tens of thousands of Honkai beasts are not just the dead souls that stayed in the pure whiteness of sixteen years ago, but they are also the huge disaster that the world today is likely to face again.

He must find a way to prevent this from happening, but blindly searching for Kiana's whereabouts is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. For now, he can only wait for Tesla to come up with reliable information.

But until then…

"Theresa, Dr. Einstein, after the land combat "Titan" mechas are released, please immediately stop the release of the remaining long-range attack mechas, deploy those mechas on the parking decks of their respective battleships, and upgrade them at the same time. Kong and the remaining warships on standby reorganized their defense line near the breach in the protective shield and prepared for high-intensity air-to-air annihilation operations. "

"Huh? What happened, suddenly??"

Theresa, who was on the Hyperion bridge, asked in surprise. However, from the slightly anxious tone of the captain, she also sensed the possibility that something unexpected was about to happen.

"Hurry up, Honkaimon is coming."

"Honkaimon? But what about the battleships at the headquarters?"

"Let the fleet responsible for the encirclement fire the ceasefire flare. Miss Amber will know what to do."

"I, I know!"

While Teresa was rushing to reorganize the air defense line according to the captain's instructions, Kohaku, who was still a hostage on the Theia and could only wait and see what happened, was also worried about the Honkai information she had received from the headquarters not long ago. Worried about the early warning of beast attack.

Now that the headquarters' defense line is close to collapse, a bunch of uninvited guests are coming, which will give Amber even more headaches. And the most important thing is that she can't contact Bishop Otto at the moment. Without instructions from above, she doesn't know what to do.

Just when Amber was at a loss and was about to take the initiative to contact the Far East Branch to explain the situation, the tactical mechas in front of her that were aiming at the bridge of the Theia suddenly began to turn around and formed a defensive formation to mind themselves.

Subsequently, the combined fleet warships responsible for surrounding and blocking the way of the headquarters warships also successively launched signal flares requesting a temporary ceasefire from both sides, and gradually stopped suppressing fire on the headquarters warships.

"Could it be that…"

Without waiting for Amber to react, the alarm system on the bridge of the Theia began to emit a harsh beep. Yes, while the coalition forces from the Mediterranean Headquarters and the Far East Branch were still exchanging fire with each other, those who knew nothing except "destruction" The beasts, who don't care which side they are from, are already here.

"Report! Lord Kohaku, there are a large number of heat sources suspected to be Honkaimon in the airspace in front of the fleet and are approaching at high speed. The number is unknown. It is estimated that there are thousands... no, tens of thousands!"

"Let all battleships and mecha units immediately stop attacking the Far East Fleet, turn around, prioritize the formation of a defense line against Honkaimon, and prepare for a high-intensity air-to-air annihilation battle!"

"Yes!"

Now that Mr. Zhi has given him the opportunity to step down, Amber can't help but appreciate it. Since she can't contact Mr. Bishop anyway, she can only act according to the emergency regulations now.

After the fleet from the headquarters and the coalition forces in the far east were all in formation in front of the headquarters' airspace, Theresa and Amber, the commanders of both sides, issued the order to fire almost simultaneously.

"Full main gun aiming, all missile bays open————"

"Fire!" "Fire!"

For a time, a rain of ammunition composed of countless beams and missiles jointly emitted by dozens of warships on both sides poured into the dark deep sky following the two men's orders.

The beam arrived immediately, and the lightless skyline first lit up with a flash of light. Then, dense missiles seemed to come into contact with the target. The explosion of fire immediately ignited the entire airspace. A few seconds later, continuous explosions came from the distance, and then everything Silence quickly returned.

Amber grasped the guardrail in front of her with both hands, and a drop of cold sweat couldn't help but slide down her face: "How is the situation?"

"The target group is still alive and approaching at high speed!"

"Damn it, prepare for the second salvo immediately, let the Valkyrie troops..."

"There is a high concentration of Honkai energy reaction in the airspace ahead!"

"Could it be... Oops, the ships should disperse!" Although Amber, who realized the danger, had ordered to retreat as quickly as possible, it was still too late.

Only a glimmer of light flashed in the dark sky in the distance, and then, a strong light roared and tore the sky apart. The Honkai energy beam composed of ice and fire entangled with thunder and lightning, and directly penetrated the defense line composed of the two fleets. The Mediterranean Sea The two frigates at the headquarters had no time to evade, and their flanks were dissolved by the passing beam. Afterwards, the two burning warships were forced to break away from the defense line and fall to the sea level because they could not maintain their posture.

"Just being brushed..."

Amber couldn't help but feel shocked. The battleship's own energy barrier seemed like nothing under the terrifying beam attack. If it was directly hit by the beam just now, I'm afraid the entire battleship would be evaporated in an instant...

However, the severe battle situation would not even give any of them a chance to breathe. After the bombardment of the beam ended, a shuddering roar also came from the deep space, shaking the souls of everyone on the defense line.

It wasn't until the fleet of the Far East Branch Allied Forces began their second wave of interception that Amber, who came back to his senses, woke up from the trembling just now:

"Let the nearby frigates fill the gap in the defense line and start the second salvo immediately!"

Before the Honkaiju army approached, the fleets of both armies tried their best to reduce the number of enemies through long-range strikes. However, even so, due to the huge difference in numbers, it was still difficult for the two fleets to completely eliminate them before coming into contact with them. other side.

Finally, countless "Assault-level" Honkaimons with flapping wings and a large number of "Temple-level" Honkaimons armed with lances and giant shields ran over the common defense line composed of the two fleets like locusts crossing the border.

The Valkyrie troops of the "Destiny" headquarters and the tactical mechas of the Far East branch coalition have long been waiting on the decks of their respective battleships. Behind the core defense line composed of the two fleets, at the crack in the protective shield, Hyperion and The second line of defense formed by some of the "Anti-Entropy" battleships that had previously broken into the headquarters also quickly ushered in the enemy's attack. Those Honkai Beasts that were too late to be shot down by the main fleet had to be eliminated by them.

"Ai-chan, activate the proximity air defense system and shoot down all those fish that have slipped through the net!"

"Roger that!"

After the mechanical girl's voice, the warships of Hyperion and "Anti-Entropy" also began to suppress fire. Before Helios's advance team rescued Kiana, they must not leave the headquarters' defense fleet and retreat.
