After the girls from Tiandao Palace joined in, the battle situation changed quickly. The corpse puppets that had been showing off their might before were basically vulnerable in front of the girls. Not long after, the corpse puppets here were swept away by everyone, and the battle ended.
"It's over, it's over..."
"But these monsters are so weak..."
"But it's nice to get some movement once in a while, isn't it?"
After the battle, the girls walked towards their warships in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing. The crew of the Normandy looked at the girls with complicated expressions, not knowing what to say. You know, most of these girls looked young, the oldest was only about 16 or 17 years old, but they were better than their group of regular battlefield veterans, which really made them feel complicated.
Especially in the final stage, this group of girls rushed into the pile of corpses like a tiger into a flock of sheep and started hacking and killing. Both their lethality and efficiency were much stronger than those of them who could only hide behind with guns and shout "666", so that everyone felt a little discouraged.
but……
“They are really amazing.”
Garrus looked at the girls who were laughing and talking like they were going home after a spring outing, and his tone was quite serious. As an elite turian, he had carefully observed the fighting style of these girls in previous battles. On the surface, the other party was able to gain the upper hand in the battle with the corpse puppets because the corpse puppets had no weapons and relied entirely on hand-to-hand combat.
But Garas certainly wouldn't be so simple. He just observed carefully and found that the reaction and speed of these girls were completely beyond their cognition. It can be imagined that even if they were facing an entire fully armed army, I'm afraid these girls would rush in directly as if they were entering an empty land...
Garas felt a pang of pain when he thought of this. He was indeed 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 little girls got close to him, even Garas would become a lamb to be slaughtered, and he would probably just wait to die.
Of course, there are races in the Citadel that are good at hand-to-hand combat, such as the Krogan... Well, Garrus silently glanced at Lex not far away. This tall and mighty Krogan had stopped talking for a long time and was squatting in the corner, mumbling something.
Well, even the Krogan don’t have the fighting power as strong as those children.
Thinking of this, Garrus has made a decision. After returning to the Citadel, he must submit this report to the Turian envoy to prevent them from misjudging the mysterious power of the Heavenly Dao Palace. Just based on the fighting power shown by these little girls, it can be imagined that once the Turians really go to war with the other side, not to mention that the fleet will not be able to win, it is likely that they will be defeated even more miserably on the ground.
"Gallas!"
Just as Garrus was considering how to respond, Shepard's voice came again. He looked up and saw Shepard, covered in blood, rushing back with others.
"How is it? Are you okay?"
"We're fine, everything is fine, except..."
At this point, Garrus smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders, then looked at the maintenance platform not far away. At this moment, the platform that was originally used as a shelter was full of corpses, at least hundreds of them stacked up. Seeing this battlefield that was completely and literally "corpses everywhere", Shepard was also shocked.
"This is... you guys who did this?"
Speaking of zombies, Shepard has killed quite a few while tracking down the defected agent Saren and the Reaper Overlord, but she encountered them in groups each time. To be fair, if she really encountered so many zombies, even if Shepard was the protagonist, she would have no choice but to turn around and run away.
"Of course not, we don't have that much ability..."
Garas was also feeling awkward when he said this. Originally they thought they were professional soldiers and should lead the way in the battlefield to protect those kids, but in the end they were protected by those kids instead... It's really a bit embarrassing.
"Those little girls?"
"How do you know?"
Garrus was a little surprised to hear Shepard's answer. He originally thought that Shepard would not believe him and was thinking about what to say, but he didn't expect that Shepard himself looked quite calm and understanding.
"Of course, I can tell by looking at it."
As Shepard spoke, he nodded to the side. Garrus looked in the direction Shepard pointed and soon saw Cui and Yanzhu walking towards the others hand in hand.
So Gareth understood instantly.
"You too?"
"That's right. If it weren't for their help, I might have really been in trouble this time."
At this point, Shepard couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"It's a bit embarrassing, isn't it?"
"yes……"
Garrus nodded in agreement, then he sighed.
"Fortunately, they are not our enemies."
"I hope it won't be like that in the future..."
However, Shepard was not as optimistic as Garrus. She knew very well the nature of the Citadel Council and the top leaders of the Alliance. When she was tracking down Hegemony before, Shepard was badly betrayed by these stupid teammates. Although she had issued an early warning to the council, the Citadel Council still refused to cry until they saw the coffin. It was not until Hegemony raided the Citadel that they realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
If Shepard hadn't turned the tide and stopped the Overlord in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
It was also because of this that when the Citadel Council was reorganized, Shepard recommended his old boss Anderson as a representative. After all, he had someone in the government who could be talked over.
Shepard would rather not be led around by this bunch of stupid teammates again.
While Shepard was lamenting about interstellar politics, the little girls here gathered together, chattering about the previous battle. After all, they hadn't fought in a long time, and this time they finally got the chance to show off their skills, and they were extremely excited.
"call……"
Looking at the excited little girls around her, Asuna let out a long sigh, put away her rapier and sat on the chair next to her.
"How's it going? How do you feel?"
Eriri now came over with a smile and sat next to Asuna, asking curiously.
"I don't know either……"
Asuna took a deep breath. She felt as if she had just finished a crazy disco. Her brain was still in an excited state, but it had gradually calmed down. Looking at her hands, Asuna felt incredible.
"I never thought that I would end up in another world, fighting a group of alien creatures on a space station several galaxies away from Earth. If my mother knew what I did, I really can't imagine what she would think..."
"But it feels pretty good doesn't it?"
Ying Lili stretched lazily.
"We are doing a good deed, and those... corpse puppets? They look much simpler than the monsters in the game, but they are just like those monsters, they want our lives, so there is no difference, right?"
“That’s right…”
Just when Asuna was about to say something else, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and touched their heads.
"How's it going? How do you feel?"
"Ah, Mr. Founder!"
Looking at Fang Zheng standing behind her, Ying Lili giggled.
"No problem! I feel great."
"Really? That's good."
After hearing Eriri's answer, Fang Zheng nodded, then he looked at the girls in front of him.
"We at Tiandao Palace will not invade at will, and we will not start a war lightly, but there are many times when we still need to fight, just like now... If you cannot accept it, or feel that you cannot bear it, you can give up."
"No, Mr. Fang Zheng, I... have no problem."
Hearing this, Asuna also stood up and shook her head firmly. Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Although Asuna did not say it clearly, she has decided to follow Fang Zheng forever. So for herself... everything in front of her is something she must adapt to and learn to face with all her efforts.
Asuna clenched her fists while thinking.
Her eyes were no longer confused at this moment.
