Chapter 933 Divine Intervention

Honma Noriko clenched her hands.

The silk gloves almost made a slight tearing sound as her grip increased, she really wanted to scold them! But she can't lose her composure in front of the pigs.

This group of pigs... In peaceful times, they can still take advantage of luck and rely on their ancestral property to show off their might, but they are at a loss when it comes to critical moments. With so much experience and so many lessons, what they are best at is eating and sleeping, just like a herd of pigs.

The only intelligent being in the room was Noriko Honma herself, she thought.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Seeing that Noriko Honma didn't have an attack, the room started to bustling again.

People were whispering to each other, and it was louder in the hallway outside, as they frantically exchanged ideas about what to do next.

"We have to get on that ark and leave. Isn't the purpose of the Ark Foundation to build an ark that leaves this world?"

"Propose a peace agreement to the coalition forces in the Eastern Hemisphere? They have laid down enough vast land, so they should be satisfied. I'm afraid they never thought of annexing the entire Xintaixi continent in one war."

"Damn it, our main force is still there, why don't we fight? First push the unsteady enemies into the sea, and the residents of New York City are still waiting for us to rescue them!"

"Reflect on what kind of barbaric actions we have committed to incur such brutal revenge."

"Master Diernai bless us..."

"I have been working for the core of the lighthouse from beginning to end, and you! You are a traitor! Coward!"

Chattering voices sounded.

Honma Noriko looked around, no one dared to look at her, some even turned their backs to Honma Kiko.

An army composed of orientals, ratmen, blacks, and robots... Such "crowds" are inferior to pigs in the eyes of Noriko Honma, but now they have killed the heartland of the lighthouse, threatening the lives of the old dignitaries, calling humans The elite was at a loss.

They can't figure it out.

Noriko Honma looked at the chaos indifferently. The Allied Forces in the Eastern Hemisphere advanced very fast, and another armored army advanced to the defensive position of the Great Mountain Range, fighting to the death with the defenders there. Relying on the advantages of the terrain, they probably Can last 17 hours.

The soldiers stationed on each front are well-equipped and loaded with live ammunition. Isn't there enough exoskeleton armor, kinetic energy weapons and honeycomb rockets that I have issued to them? Noriko Honma thought about it.

The lighthouse core's world-leading cutting-edge army has lost consecutive battles within two months, which shows that their weapons are lax and they are strong on the outside but capable on the inside.

The Xintai Xizhou people have been paralyzed by the superior life, and they don't even know how to fight the enemy with their lives.

They need morale, a kind of morale that sees death as home, where can I give them morale at this time? They are all too used to fighting with technological weapons. They like the fun of blowing up a target hundreds of kilometers away with a single click on the screen, and once the enemy rushes within thirty steps, they will want to surrender.

Noriko Honma closed her eyes, suppressed the urge to give orders, and "ordered these pigs", which was a habit she had when she was young, and she had long since abandoned it.

Today, what she needs is a more useful weapon.

The precious images sent back from the front line are full of destroyed forts, burning vehicles, and forts that have been razed to the ground. The enemy's firepower is powerful, destroying armor and protective shields at will, and the technology is comparable to the core of the lighthouse. Is it a cyber goblin? They opened Hyperion once, and at that time accumulated enough advanced technology to fill the 15-year gap.

Noriko Honma took out a samurai sword and made a gesture in front of her lower abdomen, imagining the pain of seppuku after defeat.

She used this method to encourage herself and focus herself in particularly extreme situations. Can't lose, she told herself, can't lose, continue to find a way.

If you lose, a big gash will be opened in the abdomen, and the intestinal blood will be spattered.

She never doubted the safety of the Ark Foundation, which was established by the most powerful group of people before the catastrophe.

So, did I miss something? Noriko Honma needs time to be quiet and think.

She waved her hand: "You all go out."

People were relieved, just like the condemned prisoner who was happy to hear that the sentence was cancelled, they turned and left one after another.

The angel Michael said to Noriko Homma: "Don't forget to pray, madam."

"I never pray," Honma Noriko said. She has no faith.

"You can learn." Michael made a prayer gesture, then turned and left.

After the golden light on the angel's body faded, Noriko Honma suddenly felt that her field of vision had become wider. She raised her head and realized what was missing in herself.

Belief.

If the Allied Forces from the Eastern Hemisphere rush in, all the technicians and dignitaries will flee, and they will spare their lives. The passwords of every controller will be sold to the cyber goblins, and the commanders of every defense zone will scramble to surrender to Lila Nestor , so as to strive for better treatment.

And when the time comes, I will also betray my relatives, kneel on the ground, and taste the shame of failure.

But now, now she was only threatened, not completely destroyed.

She turned to the wall behind her, where Dirnai's holy cross hung high.

Noriko Honma knelt down to Dillney's cross.

She has never paid homage to anyone in her life, and today is the first time, and it is from the heart, and she worships without guarding up. She leans forward, falls on the ground, and prays to Goddess Diernai.

She is a believer now.

An incomparable holy light shines on Noriko Honma.

She felt divine power and protection descend upon her.

Apocalypse? miracle?

Noriko Honma didn't want to distinguish, she only knew that it was useful.

She closed her eyes to listen to divine enlightenment.

"Yes, yes, Master Diernai." Noriko Honma's tone was both ethereal and pious, "Everything is at your command."

...

Sebastian, the commander-in-chief of the lighthouse core, left Noriko Honma's strategic conference room and walked quickly to the other end of the ark bunker, where he had his own staff room.

Standing at the table, Sebastian rubbed his tense eyes with his fingers, spinning the options endlessly in his mind.

A graduate of the New York City Military Academy, his implants recorded more than 60,000 instances of war, though not a single battle was fought this way.

Due to the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Anchorage, coupled with the enemy's cunning attacks from multiple directions, and the "treachery" of the company alliance, the defense line that Sebastian personally arranged was torn apart helplessly. Collapsed before the enemy, reduced to ruins.

From all rational perspectives, surrender was the only recourse left for them.

He is the commander-in-chief of the core force of the lighthouse, and at least the lives of more than 300,000 army officers and soldiers under him must be preserved.

Since the sons and daughters have no chance to escape to other worlds in an ark, at least they have to take their lives back to their hometown...

The others briefly talked with Sebastian and drew up the terms of the peace agreement:

Xintai Xizhou cedes all areas west of the Dashan Mountains;

New York City was opened up as an intercontinental public management area, as a model port of free trade in Xintaizhou;

War reparations for 50 years;

Everyone who handed over the Ark Foundation - only this one, they passed it unanimously during the discussion. The Ark Foundation, also known as the original Seven Seals, has done too much harm to Xintai Xizhou.

There was a regular knock on the door, which seemed particularly abrupt at this moment.

Sebastian straightened up and glanced at the clock. There were still 30 minutes before they could reach a consensus, decently withdraw Xintaixizhou from the war, and save the lives of most soldiers and civilians.

"Come in," Sebastian called, hoping a robot would bring them coffee for the old officers.

The door opened gently, and Noriko Honma strode in.

Pale light radiated from her body, and Sebastian's eyes widened in shock. It stands to reason that Noriko Honma would not appear here. Didn't she want to commit suicide in her room? You must know that once the Eastern Hemisphere coalition forces capture Noriko Honma alive, only the best ending is a merciful death.

Noriko Honma stopped among the staff officers, her eyes were shining with the sacred flame of Diernai, and people looked at Noriko Honma, as if they saw the Supreme God from behind her eyes.

Lord Dillney...

Sebastian opened his mouth, and protests, questions, and yells filled his thoughts—and then disappeared.

All concessions, begging for mercy and surrender were put on the shelf, Sebastian clasped his hands on the table, and he and the other staff officers became extremely docile and listened to Noriko Honma's orders.

"We've lost a lot of land, but we'll let the enemy bleed until they realize that this is not Promise, but another manifestation of hell." Noriko Honma said gracefully, "Commander, gather your forces. "

Sebastian took a deep breath, new lofty thoughts filling his chest like an ember being rekindled.

Fight for Lord Dirnai, God's will!

"Yes...!" He nodded, then turned to send an order to his subordinate strategic headquarters. His troops were exhausted and battered by enemies from all directions, but he could not defy the will of the higher-ups.

His heart was hardened by some force, and he had to do something against his will.

"Go on, go on." Noriko Honma stood beside Sebastian, watching him give orders.

Sebastian continues to play his role as the Supreme Commander of the Command, issuing dispatch orders to the various units, asking them to fight for honor, for the survival of New Taixi, and more importantly, for Lord Deirnay.

Facing so many enemies and endless hostile armies, all maneuvers seemed futile, but standing beside Sebastian was Noriko Honma. At this moment, she seemed to be the incarnation of Dillney himself.

"Very good." Noriko Honma's voice penetrated into the depths of Sebastian's soul, as if issuing a command spell, "Go to fight now."

Sebastian turned his head, and the rest of the staff looked at Commander Sebastian, as if they read the incarnation of Durney from his eyes, so their own eyes became erratic, and their souls were also ignited.

"For Lord Dillney."

"March to the enemy...!"

"Fight to the end, Lord Diernai will protect us." They finished their duties, and surrender was crossed from their thoughts.

The war machine at the heart of the lighthouse keeps going, never surrendering.

Noriko Honma stood among them, her whole body was still shining with an unfathomable golden light, her smile was indifferent and angular.

Pigs are incurable, so whatever is used to treat pigs should be used.

"Turn on the video signal to all the officers and personnel of the frontline troops." Noriko Honma said quietly, "I want to give a video speech to everyone."
