You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

"Salome, how much do you know about Cecilia?"

"Lady Cecilia is the 'Saintess' of the Shaniat family. According to the family's arrangement, she is to be married to Siegfried Kaslana, the son of the Kaslana family patriarch. The marriage is scheduled for January of next year, but the two have not yet met."

Salome gazed at the horizon with her beautiful eyes, and slowly recounted what she knew about Cecilia Shaniat.

Since Cecilia is hailed as the "strongest S-class Valkyrie," she naturally possesses unparalleled strength.

However, Cecilia's long-term campaigns against Honkai Beasts have made her very innocent and easily embarrassed, and curious about everything, yet she has to suppress this curiosity because of her identity.

"Wait... Cecilia isn't married yet?"

"Isn't it normal for Lady Cecilia to be unmarried?"

Salome looked at Qiu Bi with suspicion. If Cecilia was already married, then the Snow Wolf Squad was not far from disbanding.

The fact that the Snow Wolf Squad still exists indicates that Cecilia did not get married.

"That's it..."

Qiu Bi felt distressed and gently rubbed his temples.

The mere fact that Cecilia is not yet married already deviates greatly from the original story.

According to the original story, Cecilia became pregnant in 1998 and gave birth to her daughter on December 7 of the same year.

Today, Cecilia has neither given birth to a daughter nor gotten married.

"Never mind, let's gather all the members of the Snow Wolf Squad first."

Qiu Bi sighed helplessly, and then ordered Bella, Aurora, Agatha, and Galina to guard the four entrances of the Tower of Babylon, while Salome and Patrick were to stay at the top and bottom of the tower, respectively.

As for Xilin...

Although Qiu Bi could have Sirin stationed in a certain area of ​​the Tower of Babylon, Sirin is, after all, the "big boss" this time. It would be too disrespectful to let her just station in any area.

"Dad, we won't let any Valkyries into the Tower of Babel!"

"Agata, you must not be too reckless. Pay close attention to my and Sirin's orders at all times, and if you are outmatched, retreat to the Tower of Babylon immediately."

Qiu Bi earnestly and seriously instructed Agata, then looked at the other three girls, "You should all do the same. Prioritize your own safety, and if you encounter any danger to your life, retreat without hesitation."

Just like the Herrscher of Flame core that Agatha possesses, she herself is passionate and impulsive, and occasionally does things without thinking.

Aurora and Galina, on the other hand, are completely opposite, with their personalities deviating from the Herrscher cores they possess.

The former possesses the core of the Herrscher of Wind, but has a quiet and gentle personality, while the latter possesses the core of the Herrscher of Death, but is quite introverted and shy.

"Dad, we're really strong!"

Agatha flashed a bright smile, radiating confidence.

Qiu Bi nodded slightly: "No matter what, we must be careful in everything we do."

"Ah."

Bella, Aurora, Agatha, and Galina nodded in unison, and then flew toward the four entrances to the Tower of Babylon.

After the four girls left, Patrick stretched and then quietly left the top of the Tower of Babel, taking the elevator to the bottom of the Tower of Babel.

Xilin walked to Qiu Bi's side and took Qiu Bi's hand.

"Dad, how long will this war... last?"

"It depends on how long Fate and Anti-Entropy want to fight."

Qiu Bi reached out and picked up Xilin, then sat on the edge of the Tower of Babylon, gazing at the vast Valkyrie army in the distance.

Salome stood next to Qiu Bi and Xilin, staring intently into the distance.

"Lady Cecilia... I wonder how great the gap is between us now?"

Salome's soft murmur drifted away on the wind and reached the ears of Qiu Bi and Xilin.

Qiu Bi glanced at Salome but didn't say anything more.

……

Near the Tower of Babylon.

The Valkyries are divided into two teams: the Valkyrie Force at the European headquarters in the north, and the Valkyrie Forces in the African and Oceanian branches in the south.

The former, led by Siegfried Kaslana, consisted of 230 people, while the latter, led by Cecilia Shaniat, consisted of 212 people.

The Valkyries did not launch a full-scale attack immediately, but instead quietly gathered in the north and south, seemingly waiting for something.

Meanwhile, a military supply depot located in the Siberian snowfield was attacked by a large number of Honkai Beasts.

Although these Honkai Beasts did not directly cause any casualties, they indirectly caused some people to die in the collapsed buildings.

Therefore, some of the people who were held captive here and were lucky enough to survive took the opportunity to escape, but they were unable to shake off the pursuit of the Honkai Beasts.

"Dad, should we save them?"

Xilin sat in Qiu Bi's lap with her legs dangling in the air and swaying slightly.

Looking at the image displayed by the purple void, Qiu Bi fell into deep thought.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was the legendary "worldline correction," but Alexei still died in the collapsed house, leaving Bronya and her daughter to depend on each other for survival.

Fortunately, their daughter, Bronya Zaychek, was not at this military base and was therefore spared from the Honkai Beasts' attack.

Subsequently, with the help of Cocolia, the future executor of anti-entropy and acting leader of the anti-entropy alliance, Alexei's wife successfully escaped. Although the Honkai Beasts were still chasing after the vehicle, her life was temporarily safe.

Before long, the vehicle ran out of fuel.

Left with no other choice, Cocolia had to leave the vehicle with Alexei's wife and try to break through the Honkai Beasts' encirclement.

Chapter Thirty: Madam, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your daughter, would you?

Seeing Cocolia and Mrs. Alexei get out of the car and face the Honkai Beasts, Qiu Bi stared at Mrs. Alexei for a few seconds before letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Salome, please bring this lady back."

As he spoke, Qiu Bi did not forget to point to Mrs. Alexei.

Salome glanced at Mrs. Alexei, then looked at Qiu Bi with surprise: "I thought it was just a coincidence, but I didn't expect you to actually like this type of woman..."

Salome knew, of course, that Qiu Bi was now Sirin's "stepfather," and she also knew about the relationship between Qiu Bi and Sirin's mother. She had thought it was just a coincidence, but now it seemed that it might just be Qiu Bi's "hobby."

Qiu Bi realized that Salome had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained, "It's not what you think. I'm not that kind of person. It's just..."

At this point, Qiu Bi suddenly stammered, unsure how to explain.

After a few seconds of silence, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to explain, waved his hand dismissively, and gestured for Salome to go and rescue Cocolia and Madame Alexei.

"Everyone has different hobbies and preferences, so I won't look at you differently."

Salome smiled and offered an explanation, then slowly stepped into the purple void that had quietly unfolded before her.

Qiu Bi watched Salome walk into the purple void, unable to think of any words to explain.

no doubt.

Salome had already decided that he preferred married women.

"But I really don't want to be Prime Minister Cao's successor..."

Qiu Bi sighed softly, then looked back at the purple void in front of him, observing the situation of Cocolia and Mrs. Alexei.

"Hmm? Mrs. Alexei is quite nice indeed..."

……

boom!

The bullet shot out of the gun barrel and aimed at the Honkai Beast that did not dodge or evade, but it had no effect whatsoever.

"Damn it! The bullets are completely useless... What kind of monsters are these!?"

Cocolia cursed under her breath, then quickly changed the magazine.

Even if the pistol can't harm these Honkai Beasts, it must be reloaded as soon as possible; only in this way can it give her a tiny sense of security.

Mrs. Alexei stood by the car door, perhaps unable to bear the cold weather, covering her mouth and coughing softly.

Seeing the Honkai Beasts closing in on her and Lady Alexei, Cocolia suddenly hesitated.

Perhaps I could abandon Lady Alexei and let her attract the attention of the Honkai Beasts, thus allowing me to escape...

Cocolia hesitated, quite tempted, yet also with some reservations.

Om-!

A rush-class Honkai Beast instantly rushed in front of the two, its wings fluttering rapidly, seemingly about to attack them.

Seeing this, Cocolia did not hesitate and immediately lunged towards the snow to try to avoid the attack of the rushing Honkai Beast.

The next moment, a magnetic field blade flashed by, slaying the charging Honkai Beast that was rushing towards the two.

Then, a total of twelve magnetic field blades flew through the air, instantly annihilating the nearby Honkai Beasts.

The speed of the magnetic blade was so fast that it was difficult for ordinary people to detect, so much so that in the sight of Cocolia and Lady Alexei, the nearby Honkai Beasts died instantly.

Before long, the twelve magnetic blades were retracted into the three magnetic pointers and formed a tightly connected ring, like the halo behind an angel, full of holiness and an unbearable sense of nobility.

With Salome's current S-rank Valkyrie strength, she wouldn't need to "dance" against some ordinary Honkai Beasts.

Cocolia stared at everything in disbelief, then quickly scrambled to her feet in the snow, nervously and warily questioning Salome: "Who...who are you?!"

"..."

Salome did not answer Cocolia, but instead listened intently, as if she were listening to someone speak.

Cocolia noticed that a fist-sized purple hole had silently appeared next to Salome's ear, which looked quite strange.

"oh, I understand now."

Salome nodded slightly and then responded softly.

The moment the sound faded, a purple void reappeared in front of her, from which a purple crystal the size of a thumb fell out and she easily caught it.

Then, ignoring Cocolia, Salome went straight to Madame Alexei.

Mrs. Alexei was nervous as she watched Salome walk towards her, but she did not make any rash moves, watching Salome with tension and unease.

Salome looked Mrs. Alexei up and down, then said in a low voice, "Please come with me out of here."
