The world is collapsing, I long for redemption

"What I want to remind you is that the Moonlight Throne has actually been completed, which means that its armament is fully usable. The reason why it cannot exert its full power now is because of the settings of the Moonlight Throne. , the power of the Herrscher must be used to drive it out, and in the original plan of anti-entropy, it is planned to use the multiple Herrscher cores mastered by the second Herrscher to complete the final stage of the Moonlight Throne, as long as there is enough energy , the Moonlight Throne has the power to transform the Houkai energy into ordinary energy, for example, to convert the Houkai energy into the electrical energy we usually use, etc. It can be said that the Moonlight Throne is a weapon for dealing with the Herrscher."

"So, the system of the Moonlight Throne must have enough energy to function, but Mr. Longma, didn't you say before that the Moonlight Throne has not yet reached the point where it can be used in actual combat, which means that the anti-entropy has not yet obtained it. The Herrscher Gem in the plan, this battleship is just a new ship."

Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple has fully understood it, no wonder the Moonlight Throne in the revelation did not show this kind of power, it turned out that it was because the core of the Herrscher was not enough, thinking about it, one can know that the energy required for this kind of weapon against the Herrscher must be Massive, from the fact that anti-entropy is staring at the second Herrscher, it can be seen that if there are only one or two cores of the Herrscher, it may not be enough for the Moonlight Throne to activate this ability.

"Normally, that's true, but if it's just like this, I don't need to rush to tell you about this thing that is not threatening for the time being. In fact, Anti-Entropy only held a Herrscher core at the beginning. Now that core has also fallen on Mei because of Cocolia..., so the Moonlight Throne was impossible to activate, but don't forget that the leader of anti-entropy is also a Herrscher, and as the first Herrscher, he It will be easier to operate on the Moonlight Throne, because his ability is too convenient in this regard, and now he is on the Moonlight Throne."

Raiden Ryoma is the most vigilant against the anti-entropy lord.

He originally admired Walter very much, but when he learned that there was also Walter's hint behind Mei's incident, he began to find that Walter was more powerful and terrifying than he imagined, and he felt a little unclear about how much Walter was. Strong, so after knowing that Walter was sitting on the Moonlight Throne, he was very nervous.

But this is just Raiden Ryoma's personal thoughts.

Communications open.

Cocolia's figure appeared on the big screen.

I saw her confidently say:

"Leave the affairs of the Moonlight Throne to us."

Chapter 388 Chapter 110 Chapter [-] "You guys go to school"

When Cocolia suddenly appeared, Kyoko and the others were startled, but Raiden Ryoma was not surprised, because he knew that Cocolia had been listening in just now, and this was something he acquiesced. After all, the current situation is not suitable for Coco. Leah turned his face, and the relationship between Kyoko and Cocolia was not easy to handle.

"You said that the Moonlight Throne will be handled by you, so do you have any countermeasures? You must know the power of the Herrscher very well. What method are you going to use to take the Moonlight Throne from the hands of the Herrscher?" Thunder Ryoma knew that Ke Keli Ya had been prepared for a long time, but he couldn't guess what it was, and now that the warships had fallen into the hands of the anti-entropy lord, it was impossible to get them back. At least he couldn't think of a way. Ready to use his daughter's power to do this.

No, he doesn't allow this kind of thing.

Kyoko's previous rampage has proved that her power is unstable, and he will never agree with Cocolia to continue to use Kyoko's power.

"You don't need to care about this matter. I have already prepared for it. In fact, if it wasn't for the first Herrscher and the Moonlight Throne, I would have taken the Moonlight Throne away. You, a guy who has been kept in the dark, have nothing to do with you. It's different." Cocolia's attitude towards Raiden Ryoma is very bad, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are many conflicts between them, and they are difficult to mediate.

"Hmph, I hope you really have a way."

Raiden Ryoma was also unwilling to endure Cocolia's attitude any longer.

"Then you just watch over there, how I pulled the idol you worshiped from the sky." Cocolia was so angry that the thunderbolt dragon horse didn't want to speak.

Raiden Ryoma knew where her malice came from.

Because he knew that Kyoko was his daughter, Cocolia must have guessed that he wanted to snatch Kyoko away, so naturally she would not have a good attitude towards him.

Seeing that Raiden Ryoma didn't intend to continue the quarrel, Cocolia turned to look at the expressionless Kyoko, showing an absolutely impossible attitude towards Raiden Ryoma, and asked in a concerned tone: "Kyoko, are you okay now? Don't want me to ask Xi'er to take someone there to pick you up? Isn't Raiden Ryoma's place very safe?"

"You are enough, you are going to deal with the Moonlight Throne now, do you still want to bring Kyoko with you? Don't you know the lethality of the Moonlight Throne against Herrscher?!" Raiden Ryoma heard that she wanted to take Kyoko back, and immediately Can't sit still.

"Who said I'm going to take Kyoko to the battlefield?"

Cocolia looked at Raiden Ryoma with an unhappy expression.

This man really wanted to abduct her daughter.

"I still have something to tell Kyoko, you should deal with your affairs first, if you don't get rid of the Moonlight Throne as soon as possible, when Anti-Entropy and Destiny cooperate, this battleship will become the most uncontrollable thing!" Raiden Ryoma said what he's worried about now.

The Valkyrie just now was obviously sent by the headquarters of Tianming.

This shows that the bishop of Destiny has noticed what is going on here and plans to intervene, and he is very aware of how despicable Walter's actions are. In order to realize the ideal of anti-entropy, that man will do anything. Anti-entropy could let go of their grudges and cooperate with Destiny to deal with the Second Herrscher during the collapse, so they can also cooperate this time, or they will definitely cooperate in the future.

Raiden Ryoma has already seen it clearly.

That man is not hypocritical at all, his goodness is true, and even his malicious intentions are good, because what he does is just for human beings, but it is precisely because of this that this man appears to be It is difficult to deal with the terrifying, because this kind of executors who have no ambition and only want to realize justice, their restraint and lower limit will be far lower than you imagined, and you can never imagine how terrible things they will do. It's even harder to deal with than a madman.

"Of course I know the seriousness of the matter. You don't need to teach me, but you don't need to do unnecessary things. If you want to come back, Jingzi, when you tell your mother, she will immediately send someone to pick you up." Cocolia said After that, she hung up the communication, and she also knew how serious what she was doing now.

He wants to wipe out the Anti-Entropy Leader and the Moonlight Throne.

If it doesn't work out, it will capsize.

But Cocolia is such a confident woman.

And unlike Raiden Ryoma, Raiden Ryoma admired Walter very much in the past, so now Walter is a little deified in his heart, but in fact Walter is definitely not as terrible as he imagined. Cocolia knows very well that Walter Te is now just a guy at the end of his battle.

"..."

Raiden Ryoma and Cocolia's quarrel, a few people did not intervene at all, because if they interrupted rashly, they might make the matter more serious.

They could tell it wasn't flirting.

The malice in both eyes was real.

If there is a chance, they definitely don't mind making the other party dirty. Maybe they won't kill the other party, but they can definitely make the other party disappear.

"Since Cocolia said that the matter of the Moonlight Throne will be handled by her, let's ignore the matter of the Moonlight Throne for the time being. Now let's talk about the St. Freya Academy. According to the entropy information, it is certain that St. Freya Academy has broken with the headquarters of Destiny, and now Destiny is sending out guards to deal with the rebellion of St. Freya Academy. At the same time, Destiny is also sending troops to go to The direction of Saint Freya Academy..."

When Raiden Ryoma said this, he looked at Kyoko.

"The key point is this St. Freya Academy. There is reliable news that the body of the Second Herrscher is hidden in this academy, so I am afraid that the purpose of this attack is not to destroy St. Freya Academy, but to Take back the remains of the Second Herrscher stored there. I know Kyoko and you guys want to revive the Second Herrscher. If this is the case, then you have to find a way to infiltrate St. Freya Academy and help them resist the attack from the headquarters of the Destiny. Attack, the headmaster of St. Freya Academy invited Mei to join them before, it seems that their attitude towards you should also be kind."

"And now Changkong City is like this, and we will be wanted by Anti-Entropy and Destiny in the future. You children will not be able to enjoy normal school life. I have heard about St. Freya Academy. You are indeed a good place, where you can still enjoy your school life at your age."

"So my suggestion is, you guys, go to Saint Freya Academy."

Chapter 389 Chapter 110 [-] "Starting the Hunting Net"

Outside Changkong City, above the ocean, at an altitude of 2000 meters.A warship covered in purple and black and full of mysterious sense of technology is rapidly advancing towards Changkong City.At this time, the battleship named Moonlight Throne surprisingly didn't have many workers on board, the entire huge fuselage was empty, and even the main control center could not see anyone.The system of the Moonlight Throne is equipped with a very advanced AI, and it can operate completely autonomously even without a helmsman.This is the secret weapon created by anti-entropy with all its strength. It is not only a machine for destroying Houkai, but also a top-notch battleship.

"It's time, Bronya."

The figure of the girl appeared in the main control room of the Moonlight Throne, the white armor on her body flickered with message fluctuations, and the tall puppet emitted wonderful electronic signals behind her, and the system of the Moonlight Throne was taken over by this mysterious robot in an instant , Bronya murmured: "The information interface was successfully connected, the main system took over, the defense system was activated, the sixth cabin was separated, and the Moonlight Throne entered combat mode."

"what happened?!"

Walter, who was recovering from his injuries in the No. [-] cabin, noticed the movement of the battleship. When he opened the hatch, No. [-] had been separated by the Moonlight Throne, and the entire cabin was rapidly falling downward. Walter looked at the ship above. On the battleship, the opened weapon system was locking the sixth cabin. He didn't know that there was an accident on the Moonlight Throne. Before he knew it, the battleship had been captured by the invaders.

"Is it an ambush by destiny? Or is it you, Cocolia..."

Walter jumped off the cabin door calmly, his coat swaying in the wind, his body stopped and stood steadily in the air after a few seconds of free fall, a circle of red and black Honkai energy fluctuations around his body controlled his own gravity At this time, the naval guns of the Moonlight Throne also fired, and the No. [-] cabin was bombed in the air into countless fragments and fell to the sea.

"The system of the Moonlight Throne has been completely controlled? To do this kind of thing in such a short period of time, it would be impossible to do it without leaving hands and feet on the Moonlight Throne in advance. That is to say, it really is you, Ke Keli Ya..."

Walter has deduced that this is Cocolia's calculation, because there are only a handful of people who know the Moonlight Throne, and even fewer people can get in touch with the Moonlight Throne. To open the defense system of the Moonlight Throne, someone must have left a back door for intrusion on the Moonlight Throne system in advance, so they were able to control the Moonlight Throne so quickly, and the only ones who could do this were him, the doctor, and the He ran into the headquarters regardless of the rules and came into contact with Cocolia on the Moonlight Throne, but it was too late to know this now.

Destiny's intervention left Walter with no time to carefully examine the Moonlight Throne, so he could only activate this secret weapon hastily. Moreover, he did not expect that Destiny's new S-rank Valkyrie would have that level of strength. There was no way to escape, so after forcing back the Valkyrie troops of Destiny, when he sent the AI-controlled battleship of the Moonlight Throne back to Changkong City, he received emergency treatment in cabin No. [-], and Cocolia's attack time It was also pinched just right, and the combination of these factors led to Walter's defeat this time, losing the Moonlight Throne.

The breeze in the air blew Walter's hair, and he looked at the fallen metal fragments without showing any dejected expression, although it was indeed an unexpected accident that the Moonlight Throne was taken away by Cocolia, and it was an unexpected accident for them to follow. His plan is also very unfavorable, but if he panics because of this matter, he, the anti-entropy lord, is too useless. It is better to think about how to solve the problem than regret it at this time.

"Mimicry, Star of Eden, Power Rating Zero..."

A strong Houkai can erupt from Walter's body, and the entire space seems to be solidified by a force of gravity. A huge black hole appears in the shattered sky. The battleship was controlled within the gravitational range of the black hole, and at this time Walter calmly turned on the communicator on his collar and contacted the two doctors who were waiting in Changkong City.

"Ain, Tesla, I need support."

"We've seen it, but the only troops we can use now are the Titans that were assembled from emergency parts. Are you sure we still have a chance now?"

Einstein saw what was happening outside through the monitoring network of Changkong City. Although the impact of the Herrschers had caused a major blow to Changkong City, with their efforts, the basic system was repaired, so as early as the Moonlight Throne When the mutation occurred, he had already noticed the situation here, and began to prepare for support.

"Chance? I'm just trying to do my best."

Walter knew that even if he could barely use the power of the Herrscher now, the chances of regaining or destroying the Moonlight Throne were slim. Cocolia's ability was very good, and they had already fallen into the calculation from the very beginning. The possibility of turning defeat into victory is almost zero. He just wanted to try one last time. Maybe Cocolia made a mistake, or something he didn't notice, so he might still have a little chance, but this kind of It is possible that he himself does not believe it.

"Very well, Bronya, continue to use the Moonlight Throne to distract him." Cocolia saw that Walter was trying to take back the battleship with his trump card, and she immediately relaxed from her uneasy mood, and Walter really followed her. As expected, the battleship could not be put down, and it was time for the First Herrscher to suffer. She looked at the submarine on the map that had arrived at the designated location. "The prey has been hooked as planned, float up, activate the Honkai energy conversion device, and prepare the hunting net!"

Suddenly, many shadows emerged from the depths of the ocean beneath Walter's feet. This is Cocolia's submarine fleet. There are a total of twelve warships and nearly three hundred automatic Titan mechs. These combat forces are already Cocolia's. In order to deal with Walter, she secretly concentrated her forces in Changkong City, which shows that she is determined to defeat Walter this time.

"Are you trying so hard to defeat me? Cocolia, it seems that you have really betrayed the idea of ​​anti-entropy and regarded us as enemies, so I will give you the victory this time." Walter didn't want to engage in a meaningless war. Cocolia had deployed so many troops here. They had no chance of turning defeat into victory. Even if the two doctors sent support troops, it would be useless, because now the anti-entropy is in the sky. The strength of the troops in the city is really pitifully low.

Walter let go of the control of the power, and the black hole in the sky began to shrink. He was about to give up on taking back the Moonlight Throne. Since Cocolia chose to take the Moonlight Throne instead of destroying it, it shows that Cocolia still attaches great importance to the Moonlight Throne plan. It is also possible to find a way to regain the Moonlight Throne in the future. There is no need to waste the troops of the anti-entropy here. It is better to go back and confirm the current situation of the anti-entropy.

But at this moment, several mysterious devices were suddenly activated in Cocolia's fleet, and a special wave spread. Walter's expression changed drastically. He wanted to leave, but Cocolia didn't want to let him go safely. leave here.

"The Honkai energy conversion device has been activated, and the output power is stable. It is the same as Dr. Iselin's calculation, and the Honkai energy on the First Herrscher is dropping rapidly!" The miraculous effect brought by the Honkai energy conversion device made the Cocolia camp All the members in the room showed joy. This device really has a strong effect on the Herrscher, and the machines produced by Iselin are very guaranteed. It is a completely different experience from the trial machines developed in Anti-Entropy in the past.

"It's even possible to have this kind of means... It's amazing, no, maybe it should be said that it's a pity, obviously as long as we sincerely cooperate, it is possible to solve the crisis in this world, but whether it is you or Otto, it is because of yourself Their selfish desires want to make the world what you want to see..." Walter didn't want to express a sword against their ideas, but he knew that he was different, and what he wanted to do was not to turn the world into his own. What you want, but in the name of Walter, make this world what most people want to see.

So he, Cocolia and Otto could never compromise.

"Honkai can transform the device, a genius idea, but you have chosen the wrong opponent. I have already seen through the principle of this machine." Before Cocolia was happy for a long time, Walter had already found a way to crack it. Mimic another wave appeared on his body, and when the two waves were intertwined, all the Houkai energy conversion devices were paralyzed for an instant, and the Houkai energy reaction of the First Herrscher began to pick up again.

"Sure enough, this method is not enough to threaten you, but in this way, time has been bought. Levi and Bronya are entering the final stage. Even if we can't keep our lord leader today, let him be here There is a considerable price to pay here!" Accompanied by Cocolia's cold order, the assault team that had been prepared for a long time activated the acceleration system to attack Walter, and a large net that could limit the operation of the Houkai was drawn towards him. Next, because of the acceleration system, Walter had no time to react, and was directly covered by the hunting net. However, it was impossible to defeat the Herrscher in this way, so the Moonlight Throne, which resumed operations, activated the main gun.

It was a special attack weapon against the Herrscher. Even though the current energy of the Moonlight Throne is not enough to exert its full power, it is still full of threats to Walter.

The "excalibur" piercing through the sky pierced Walter.

Chapter 390 Chapter 110 Five "..."

"You want us to go to St. Freya Academy?" Raiden Ryoma's proposal had just been made, and when Kiana and Kyoko were still thinking about it, Mei asked first, "How can you be sure that St. Freya once belonged to Tianming? Ya Academy will not disappoint our trust, how can we be sure that St. Freya Academy has no insiders of Destiny?"

Unexpectedly, the person who was most dissatisfied with this proposal turned out to be Raiden Mei. This was something Raiden Ryoma didn't expect at the beginning. He thought that with Mei's character, he would obediently accept his arrangement. Hearing these two questions from Mei At that time, his face was a little stunned. Seeing Mei's determined expression of wanting to protect something, he was also very relieved, but he didn't let his emotions entangle for too long, calmed himself down, and then opened his mouth to answer. Bud question.

"Because of the philosophy of St. Freya Academy, their philosophy is inherited from the spirit of Cecilia Shaniat, the S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, and they have this kind of tolerance that never gives up any possibility. Meaningless idealism, but they will try their best to save as many people as possible, to believe in miracles that do not know whether they exist, and as I just said, their relationship with the headquarters of destiny has been broken, this will not It's acting, and Destiny will not do such a thing, because the current administrator of St. Freya Academy is Otto's granddaughter, Otto will never let his granddaughter make such a joke, and that administrator is worthy Believe me, you have seen her before, you must be able to tell what kind of person she is with that kind of character at a glance."

Seeing the information provided by Raiden Ryoma, Raiden Mei was a little surprised. That little girl turned out to be the principal of St. Freya Academy? !And her age...it's unbelievable, she didn't think that this kind of legal loli really existed.And it's not the same as dwarfism, because Teresa's appearance is more like eternal youth.According to the analysis of the data compiled by Raiden Ryoma, it is speculated that Teresa's situation should be related to the Houkai beast gene in her body, because the lifespan of the Houkai beast is originally unknown.But judging from the fact that some Houkai beasts can survive for hundreds of years and thousands of years, they may not have a lifespan limit, so Teresa's situation can be explained.Moreover, Siegfried, who also activated the Honkai Beast gene in his body, has gradually become younger in recent years, which is enough to explain a lot of things.

Mei Lei recalled the scene of Teresa holding a cross in front of everyone at the end, and felt that what her father said was indeed true. The kind of person who can stand up without hesitation in order to protect others does not seem to be able to use this This kind of scheming guy, and Teresa's eyes can be ranked in the front row among all the people she has seen, very pure and beautiful, it is hard for people with that kind of eyes to imagine that she can be a bad person, Raiden Mei thought of these , the resistance on his face gradually relaxed a little.

"Of course, even if Principal Teresa and the others have no ill intentions towards you, I dare not say that there is no danger in St. Freya's Academy. What you are worried about may indeed happen. The destiny is very likely to be in St. Freya's school. The academy has planted a back hand. It is not safe for you to go there this time, but think about it carefully, there is no better place for you to go besides this choice now. At least St. Freya Academy can Cocolia can't even deal with the power of destiny and anti-entropy, and to be honest, I don't trust you to live in Cocolia..."

Mei agreed with Raiden Ryoma's last words.

No matter where you go, except for Cocolia, that woman will use Kyoko's power to satisfy her ambitions, she will never let that woman control Kyoko again, and her sister will be guarded by her from now on !

"Can you be sure of the accuracy of the information?" Kyoko asked at this time, she knew Raiden Ryoma's thoughts, but she didn't want her to take Qianna back to her mother, because he was wary of Cocolia's mother.But his proposal is not all bad. If the information is true, then this St. Freya Academy is really going to go.

"It's true. This is the information from the leader himself, but only the leader and the two doctors know the details of where Sirin's body is hidden in St. Freya Academy. I will continue to investigate this aspect. You can enter St. Freya Academy to find that place, but it is worth mentioning that the leader once said that even the senior management of St. Freya Academy was kept in the dark about this matter, so it may be possible to find it. It will take a lot of time, but this time is an opportunity."

Because Destiny sent troops to St. Freya Academy, it goes without saying what purpose they are going to. As long as you seize this opportunity, it may be possible to find the destination, so St. Freya Academy It is imperative to go.

After understanding this, Kyoko decided to accept Raiden Ryoma's proposal. Although she knew that this man was only trying to prevent Cocolia's mother from being able to use her temporarily, but this man's idea was wrong from the beginning, because Cocolia's mother had no idea at all. There is no idea of ​​using her, everything is her own idea, even if she leaves temporarily, there will be no problem with Cocolia's mother's actions, because her mother's plan generally does not include her in the battle force inside.

Kyoko knew that her mother was worried that she would be controlled by Honkai, so she didn't want to let herself use too much power. These were things Raiden Ryoma didn't know, so she simply accepted Raiden Ryoma's proposal. Objected, if she accepted, their next actions have been determined, as for why not ask Qiyana's opinion?That's because Kiana was originally from St. Freya Academy, so even if Kyoko and the others rejected the proposal, she would still go back.

when they make plans.

The battle outside Changkong City has also begun.

Walter, who was penetrated by the "Excalibur" of the Moonlight Throne, used his mimicry ability to carry out quantum teleportation, and escaped from Cocolia's hands at the last moment. Cocolia did not continue to pursue Walter's idea, because now Walter It is no longer possible to pose much threat to Kyoko and the others. Not only did she lose the Moonlight Throne, but she was also hit by the main artillery of the Moonlight Throne's special attack on Herrscher. Need to continue hunting.

She still understands the reason why the poor don't chase after them.

No matter how Walter is, he is a Herrscher. If he is really driven to a dead end, Cocolia will definitely have to hurt his muscles and bones. This kind of unnecessary loss, Cocolia will not be so stupid as to do it for Walter. Putting herself in such a mess, although Herrscher itself has a lot of research value, she doesn't particularly need Herrscher for her current research. After all, she doesn't pursue the power of Herrscher, she just wants to make human beings adapt to the collapse.

Me's main laboratory.

Walter, who carried out quantum teleportation following the signals of the two doctors, fell on the smooth floor of the laboratory. The Houkai energy on his body was turning into ordinary light energy and leaking out. The wound left by the Moonlight Throne was hard to bear. Healing, at least for an incomplete Herrscher like Walter, is a very serious injury.

Although he has the power of a Herrscher, he is not actually a Herrscher. His body is still human in essence, so every time he uses his power, his body will be eroded by the core of the Herrscher in his body, resulting in a continuous decrease in lifespan, so he is not like a real Herrscher Strong recovery ability, he is actually not as good as an incomplete Herrscher. At least if Kyoko encounters this situation like him, even if her body is still in a human state, the wound will be quickly suppressed by the Houkai energy. Healing, unless he couldn't escape, it was impossible for the Moonlight Throne's attack just now to kill Herrscher.

But Walter can't.

The core of the Herrscher in his body will not help him heal, but will aggravate his injuries, because he is not the real First Herrscher at all, but just a fake who inherited this power, neither a Herrscher nor a human being Well, Walter is in this state, which is worse than the artificial Herrscher's Kiana, and it is a complete tragedy.

It looks beautiful, but it is actually full of hidden dangers.

"Tesla, prepare for emergency treatment!"

"understand!"

Seeing Walter's appearance, the two doctors immediately started to act. Although they were nervous, they were calm in all preparations. If something can make them despair, then they are really underestimated.

You must know that they have experienced too many difficulties and life and death.Soon, the two doctors began to treat Walter.The first thing to do is to heal the wound left by the Moonlight Throne, and then solve the problem of Herrscher's core erosion. They have rich experience in this kind of thing, although Walter's injury is more serious this time.

And right now.

Destiny's pursuers rushed to Changkong City.

A girl in a diving suit floated up from the sea and walked into Changkong City step by step. She turned her head and looked at the Cocolia army who had set up a defense line outside Changkong City, and pulled off the diving suit expressionlessly. Expose the Valkyrie armor inside, and then take out a communicator from the imaginary space of the armor.

"Kazi..."

The communicator was quickly connected.

A weak voice came from the opposite side: "Master Youlandelle, you... looking for me... Do you have any orders?"

Hearing Rita's weak voice, Yolandelle frowned. This was not Rita's usual tone. She could tell that something was wrong with Rita's situation. This voice was like when she was seriously ill in bed. She knew that Rita might have encountered trouble in the previous operation, and might even have been seriously injured by the Herrscher.
