After the girls from the Tendo Temple joined the fray, the situation of the battle quickly changed. The Corpse Dummies that had been showing off their prowess earlier were basically as vulnerable as ants in front of the girls. It did not take long for the Corpse Dummies here to be wiped out, and the battle ended.
"It's over, it's over …."
"But these monsters are so weak …."
"But it's not bad to exercise once in a while, isn't it?"
After the battle ended, the girls walked towards their warship in groups of three to five, chatting and laughing. The crew of the Normandy looked at the backs of the girls with complicated expressions. They did not know what to say. Most of the girls looked young, with the oldest being only 16 or 17 years old, but they were stronger than a group of regular battlefield veterans. This made the crew feel a little disheartened.
Especially at the last stage, this group of girls were like tigers in a flock of sheep, rushing into the pile of Corpse Puppets and slaughtering them. Whether it was lethality or efficiency, they were much stronger than salted fish who only knew how to hold guns and hide in the back, so much so that everyone felt a little disheartened.
But …
"They're really good."
Gellas said in a serious tone as he looked at the girls who were laughing and talking as if they had just come home from a spring outing. As an elite of the Sudden Assault, he had carefully observed the fighting style of the girls in the previous battles. On the surface, the girls could gain the upper hand in the battle against the Corpse Dummies because the Corpse Dummies had no weapons and relied entirely on hand-to-hand combat.
But of course, Gellas was not that simple. After a careful observation just now, he found that the reaction and speed of the girls were completely beyond his understanding. It was not hard to imagine that even if they were faced with an entire fully-armed army, these girls would still charge straight in as if they were in a deserted place ….
Thinking of this, Gellas felt a sharp pain in his teeth. He was an elite of C-SEC and had excellent sniping skills, but in terms of hand-to-hand combat, he was not much different from an ordinary soldier. If those girls got close to him, even Gellas would become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He could only wait for his death.
Of course, it wasn't that there weren't any races in the castle that were good at melee combat, such as the Krogan people …. Gellas silently glanced at Lex, who was not far away. The tall and mighty Krogan man had long stopped talking. He was squatting in a corner, mumbling something to himself.
Alright, even the people of Krogan are not as strong as those kids.
Thinking of this, Gellas had already made a decision. When he returned to the Divine Castle, he would definitely submit this report to Special Envoy Tu Rui, lest they misjudge the mysterious Heavenly Palace. Just based on the combat power displayed by these little girls, one could imagine that if Tu Rui really went to war with the other party, not only would they not be able to defeat their fleet, they would also suffer an even worse defeat on the ground.
"Galas!"
Just as Gellas was thinking about how to deal with the situation, Shepard's voice sounded again. Gellas looked up and saw Shepard rushing back with the others covered in blood.
"What do you think? Are you alright? "
"We're fine, everything's fine, but …"
Gellas shrugged with a bitter smile, then looked at the maintenance platform not far away. At this moment, the platform that was originally used as a bunker was littered with corpses. There were at least hundreds and thousands of corpses stacked on top of each other. Seeing this literal "corpse-strewn" battlefield, Sherpard was shocked.
"Did … you guys do this?"
Speaking of corpse puppets, Shepard had killed quite a few when she was tracking and investigating the defected agent Salen and the Reaper Overlord. However, she had encountered them in groups every time. In all fairness, if Shepard really encountered so many corpse dummies, even with her protagonist aura, she would have to turn around and run.
"Of course not, we don't have that kind of ability …."
Gellas felt a little embarrassed when he said this. He and the others thought that they were professional soldiers who should take the lead and fight on the battlefield to protect the group of children, but in the end, they were the ones being protected by the group of children instead …. This was really a little shameful.
"It's those little girls?"
"How did you know?"
Gellas was a little surprised to hear Shepard's answer. He originally thought that Shepard wouldn't believe him, so he was thinking about what to say. But to his surprise, Shepard himself was quite calm and understanding.
"Of course, I know with my own eyes."
Shepard nodded to the side as she said that. Gellas looked in the direction Shepard indicated and soon saw Choi and Yan Zhu walking hand in hand towards the others.
Gellas instantly understood.
"You guys too?"
"That's right. If it weren't for their help, I might have really died this time."
Sherpard couldn't help but force a smile.
"It's a little embarrassing, isn't it?"
"Yeah …."
Galas nodded in agreement and let out a sigh.
"Fortunately, they're not our enemies."
"I hope it won't be like that in the future …"
However, Sheppard was not as optimistic as Gellas. She knew very well what kind of people the Divine Citadel Council and the upper echelons of the Star Alliance were. When she was tracking down the Overlord, Sheppard had already been tricked by this group of idiotic teammates. Although she had already warned the Council in advance, the Divine Citadel Council did not shed tears until they saw the coffin. It was only when the Overlord suddenly attacked the Divine Citadel that they realized that something was wrong, but unfortunately, it was already too late.
If it wasn't for Sheppard's efforts to stop the Overlord in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Because of this, Sheppard recommended his old boss, Anderson, to be the representative when the Divine Castle's parliament was reestablished. After all, it was easier to talk to someone in the royal court.
Sherpard would have to politely decline being led by this group of idiotic teammates.
While Sheppard was lamenting about galactic politics, the little girls were gathered together and discussing the previous battle. After all, it had been a long time since they had fought in a battle. This was a rare opportunity for them to show off their skills, so they were extremely excited.
"Phew …"
Looking at the excited girls around her, Asuna let out a long sigh of relief, put away her rapier, and sat on the chair next to her.
"What do you think? How did it feel? "
Ying Lili walked over and sat beside Asuna with a smile on her face and asked curiously.
"I don't know …" Asuna took a deep breath.
She felt as if she had just finished dancing at a disco. Her brain was still in a state of excitement, but she had gradually calmed down. Asuna looked at her hands in disbelief.
"I didn't expect to fight against a group of aliens on a distant space station several galaxies away from Earth in another world. I can't imagine what my mother would think if she knew what I did …"
"But it feels good, doesn't it?"
Ying Lili stretched her body.
"We're doing a good deed. And those … Corpse Puppets? They look much simpler than the monsters in the game, but they're just like those monsters. They want our lives, so there's no difference, right? "
"That's right …."
Just when Asuna was about to say something, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and patted their heads.
"How do you feel? How do you feel? "
"Ah, Mr. Fangzheng!"
Looking at Fangzheng standing behind her, Ying Lili giggled.
"No problem! I feel great. "
"Is that so? That's good. "
Upon hearing Ying Lili's answer, Fangzheng nodded and turned to the young ladies before him.
"We, the Tendo Temple, will not invade at will, nor will we start a war. But there are many times when we still need to fight, just like now … If you can't accept it, or feel that you can't bear it, you can give up."
"No, Mr. Fangzheng, I … I'm fine."
Asuna stood up and shook her head firmly. If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog. Although Asuna did not explicitly say it, she had already decided to follow Fangzheng, so for herself … she had to adapt and learn to face everything that was happening in front of her.
Asuna clenched her fists while thinking.
At this moment, her eyes were no longer confused.
