章 113: Chapter 12: Who's Leading the Team?!
Luo Lin opened her eyes and found herself standing beneath a towering black structure.
Due to her proximity, it appeared as if the tower pierced straight into the heavens, with chilling winds howling from all directions and snowflakes battering her head and face.
"This must be the Babylon Tower..."
The girl surveyed her surroundings and noticed she wasn't alone. Many Valkyries clad in polar combat suits stood nearby, alongside various vehicles including tanks, armored cars, and drones.
Luo Lin scrutinized the Valkyries, noting their weapons, badges, and uniform details. She observed that most were B-Rank Valkyries, accompanied by a contingent of C-Rank Valkyries. The C-Rank Valkyries would utilize vehicles to support the B-Rank Valkyries in combat.
Such a mixed team constituted the basic configuration for handling Honkai incidents.
Normally, such a team could handle routine Honkai events. In more complex situations, Schicksal would deploy two or more A-Rank Valkyries to lead the team, along with additional B and C-Rank Valkyries and corresponding vehicles, to form a reinforced unit.
If even the reinforced unit couldn't handle the situation, then Valkyrie Assault Teams and elite Immortal Blades, B-Rank and above, would intervene.
And if the situation escalated further... higher-level Honkai incidents would undoubtedly attract attention from Schicksal HQ, leading to the dispatch of A and S-Rank Valkyries...
And the chronicle she had chosen clearly denoted the time point - [Second Eruption], indicating that the initial phase of this wave would undoubtedly involve a reinforced team led by A-Rank Valkyries!
Luo Lin nodded, her expression serious as she began to assess her own body—she needed to confirm who she was possessing and what equipment she carried...
"Isn't this my Moon Ring?"
The girl looked at the white circular device on her wrist in astonishment, along with a string of throwing weapons hanging on her body and magazines tied to her waist, according to her habits. Her mind was buzzing.
"—Luo Lin!"
A red figure suddenly appeared behind her, patting her shoulder. Luo Lin instinctively prepared to counterattack, using the Honkai power to strengthen her body to grab the person's hand, preparing to throw them over her shoulder.
However, the other party was not an ordinary person either. She used the force to flip over Luo Lin's head and, in mid-air, agilely adjusted her posture twice, broke free from the girl's restraint, and landed lightly not far away.
"Don't be so excited!"
The redhead girl smiled helplessly, spreading her hands to show that she meant no harm. Luo Lin could see her sharp teeth.
She was wearing a custom-made, deep red and black tight combat suit, with a red belt extending from her waist to her thigh, indicating that she was not a simple character.
Luo Lin frowned and asked softly, "Shub?"
—Shub Niggurath, an A-Rank Valkyrie, member of Schicksal's "Snow Wolf Squad", renowned for her monstrous strength, and proficient in using heavy swords and long spears.
She had been judged dead several times during dangerous missions, but always reappeared shortly after, successfully completing her tasks. Among Valkyries, there was a rumor that Shub had countless clones, like the "Children of Chaos," endlessly killing and being killed who were all immortal and undying.
Shub scratched her head in surprise. "Wow, you're still frowning. You're so cold!"
"Is it possible that your inappropriate joke just now made her frown?"
A calm voice came from the other side. Luo Lin looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl wearing a blue cloak and a blue beret, with a faint glimpse of a black custom-tight combat suit under the cloak.
—Salome Jokaanan, an A-Rank Valkyrie, also a member of the "Snow Wolf Squad" like Shub. She was a genius dancer from a young age, and after joining Schicksal, she danced the dance of slaughter on the battlefield.
Salome's weapon was controlled by a superconductive magnetic field with 12 sharp blades. With gestures and agile movements, she made these 12 blades fly and rotate in the air at a speed difficult for human eyes to catch, easily beheading enemies.
When the dance of the battlefield ceased, the blades would be retracted back to the three magnetic pointers floating behind her forming a ring, like the divine light behind an angel, full of sanctity and nobility that could not be looked directly at. This was also the origin of Salome's title, "The Purifier".
Luo Lin looked at the ring floating behind Salome and felt that it looked very similar to the "Ring Blades" weapon that appeared in later versions of Honkai 3.
After hearing Salome's words, Shub scratched her head. "I was just helping her relax..."
"Is that how you relax? Clearly, you scared her!"
"Hmph, I don't think Valkyries are that easily scared..."
"Um..."
Luo Lin looked at the two A-Rank Valkyries chatting in front of her and couldn't help but interrupt, "What do you want from me?"
"Oh, it's like this... Luo Lin, our next mission is to guard the Babylon Laboratory. You need to select personnel from the team, and each of us will lead a team to intercept the Honkai beasts attacking from three directions."
Salome clapped her hands and handed over a tablet.
Luo Lin took the tablet dumbfoundedly and asked incredulously, "What? I'm leading the team?"
The Valkyrie in the blue cloak said matter-of-factly, "Yes, currently, we are the only three A-Rank Valkyries guarding the Babylon Laboratory. If it's not you leading the team, then who else?"
"But I'm not even B..."
Just then, the familiar system prompt popped up, asserting its presence—
[Second Eruption - Babylon Tower Defense Battle]
[Current Identity: A-Rank Valkyrie · Luo Lin (Non-switchable)]
[Current Objective: After configuring the Valkyrie mixed team, lead the team to the defense position]
Luo Lin was speechless. Although in the real world, her Valkyrie level was still at B-Rank, but for the system, Luo Lin had completed the promotion task before, and the glaring A-Rank on the panel was proof of her identity.
So in the chronicle, Luo Lin also had the identity of an A-Rank Valkyrie.
But Luo Lin herself knew that her combat power might have reached the level of an A-Rank Valkyrie, but she lacked the other knowledge and skills that an A-Rank Valkyrie should have!
Like now, an A-Rank Valkyrie needed to command the team and lead a mixed team of B and C-Rank Valkyries to go out and fight Honkai beasts.
But Luo Lin was completely clueless about commanding battles.
Maybe she could lead a small team for intelligence reconnaissance, but leading so many people out to fight against the Honkai beasts was completely beyond Luo Lin's abilities!
Even if Luo Lin knew this was a simulated chronicle module by the system, it was...
Luo Lin held the tablet. She stared at the portraits of various Valkyries listed on it, along with a series of weapon equipment.
Nearby, some Valkyries were sneakily observing the three A-Rank Valkyries gathered together, their faces filled with curiosity and admiration.
This wasn't something she could just handle with a line like, "Without a proper alliance commander leading the team, it's normal for the casualty ratio to be ugly. This is just how I command, I only know how to command like this!"
Luo Lin stood there stiffly, unsure of what to do.
Shub's eyes drooped, feeling a bit uneasy about her teammate's state. "Luo Lin, are you okay?"
"I'm actually fine..."
The girl forced a smile, but internally, she was screaming:
System, help me!!!
And so, the system responded to her plea, displaying a brightly flashing assistance panel...
