The First Person to Find a Weapon Before a Battle—Shu

"Dead soldiers?" Kiana was the closest and was the first to react to Shu's words. Immediately, she kept her guard up and quietly moved a bit closer to Shu. "What are dead soldiers?"

"Dead soldiers are..." Shu was just about to explain what was, in his mind, the true bottom-level unit of the Honkai, but looking at the dead soldiers who were staring blankly at each other, Shu swallowed and changed his explanation. "They're just the normal elite monsters in a game."

Otto, who was focusing intently, preparing to listen carefully to new information: "..."

Well, I can understand. Now's not a good time to recite information, and even if I recited it, Kiana and Kallen, the main combat forces, probably wouldn't be able to understand it for a while.

"How do they compare to those Honkai beasts? What are their respective... skills?" Otto asked the two most crucial questions right now. He even specifically changed the "information" that needed to be understood to the more relevant "skills" to help Kiana and Kallen understand.

"Most of them are one level lower than Honkai beasts," Shu answered in a deep voice, "But their basic movement logic is the same."

Why are they still letting me and the others chat here? Shu thought that these dead soldiers might have been intimidated by the high beams of the car behind them, but it wouldn't be long before they reacted and attacked them.

Kiana and the others felt relieved. They thought it was another terrifying monster like the Honkai beasts. Since most of them were a level lower, these "elite monsters" in front of them weren't unbeatable.

Otto thought more about it. What did he mean by "most of them"? That meant that there was a clear classification among these Honkai derivatives called "dead soldiers." They might even have a leader consciousness.

The small, twintailed dead soldier dragging two huge black coffins, who seemed to be wearing a black, abstinent, restrictive uniform, became Otto's main focus.

This woman was too unique. Looking at her, she was right in the middle of all the dead soldiers. He didn't know if this dead soldier was a commanding type or a high-level combat type...

The intimidation from the high beams finally passed. The undead dead soldier in the center of the group suddenly lifted her feet off the ground. She floated slightly into the air in a way that looked like magnetic levitation, along with the two huge black coffins.

Otto: "..."

I've confirmed it, this woman's playing magic.

Otto looked up and, in his mind, silently gave up on the idea of running out to drive the car and crash into this woman.

"The dead soldiers with scythes have strong jumping abilities and physical prowess. Their scythes are very sharp. The ones with bows and arrows can shoot arrows. Don't expect them to run out of arrows. They won't, and they can even shoot rapid-fire and multiple shots at once!" Seeing that the summoner dead soldier was flying just like he remembered, Shu quickly explained the other two types of dead soldiers.

"Kallen, Kiana, how many can you deal with?" After saying this, Shu gritted his teeth and asked the two people beside him.

"About four, but I can only entangle them," Kallen estimated, already prepared for battle.

"Click!" The sound of two gun bolts being pulled back, one big and one small, came. Shu turned his head and saw that Bronya and Theresa were also holding their guns and standing at the same level as them.

"As the headmaster of the academy, I cannot let my unarmed students fight alone!" Theresa said, full of fighting spirit, as she held that big shotgun. "The ones with the bows and arrows are mine!"

Bronya held her pistol. "Bronya won't hold you back. Bronya can handle… one."

She was being conservative…

"And me!" Mei also stood up, holding a pistol. "Teacher Himeko gave me her weapon. I… I have also learned how to shoot!"

Shu was speechless. He looked back at Otto, his eyes seeming to say: Old geezer, why aren't you getting up here and fighting with us?

Otto spread his hands out. "My friend, you can't expect a religious bishop who is unarmed to fight at the front gate, can you? Or do you want these two injured ladies to join you?"

Fu Hua, who was about to go forward: ? Is that not possible?

Shu's eyelids twitched, but looking at Otto's appearance, Shu felt that he really wouldn't go to the front willingly. He could only turn his head. "The train needs you to start it. Fu Hua, Himeko, protect him."

Fu Hua hesitated for a moment and silently retreated.

"Okay~ then!" Seeing that the dead soldiers were about to rush forward, Kiana suddenly took a step forward and waved her fists, shouting loudly at the summoner dead soldier, "That floating woman is mine!"

As she said this, Kiana was about to charge up with an aura that would make even these dead soldiers tremble, but Shu's accumulated momentum instantly collapsed. He hurriedly grabbed Kiana. "Wait a minute!"

"What?" Kiana frowned, her fists still clenched.

"Are you sure you want to fight that woman?" Shu quickly asked, and after receiving Kiana's firm look that seemed like she was trying to join the party, Shu sighed and quickly recited in a rap-like speed.

"Okay, remember that woman's skills, don't be reckless! That woman can use Honkai energy to perform long-range attacks. She might throw some small balls, or she might use a super-thick laser cannon. She can also burrow underground and teleport."

"The two coffins behind her can also summon those with scythes and those with bows and arrows. I don't expect you to defeat her, I only need you to entangle her and try not to let her summon more monsters! Understand?"

Kiana: "Huh? This... this is a BOSS, right!!"

Otto, who had heard everything: "..."

Alright, alright, a laser cannon… teleport… can also summon… should I reconsider handcrafting a supersonic fighter jet?

"Okay!" With the information, Kiana didn't feel intimidated. Instead, she felt an infinite fighting spirit rising in her heart. "Watch me! This miss will definitely win!"

Shu held his forehead, but he also wanted to hold his heart.

You, with your white hair and blue eyes, don't say "Nah, I'll win" so easily!! Why do you always set such deadly flags?!

Shu didn't even have the heart to sigh. He could only shift his attention to the dead soldiers in front of him, who were poised to attack.

Four with scythes, three with bows and arrows, and one summoning dead soldier.

The three with bows and arrows were the biggest threat. Facing the three of them with guns, he hoped that Theresa and the others could suppress them with firepower. Kiana was facing the guardian dead soldier, and she didn't have time to care about them.

Maybe the support that was supposed to be sent to Theresa would have to be sent to Kiana.

The remaining four with scythes were the upper limit of Kallen's entanglement ability, so three should be easier, right? He would take one of them…

At this moment, Shu, who had been making several starting postures, finally stopped moving his body. He looked at the large orange-black scythes in the dead soldiers' hands, and then he looked at his own empty hands, and for a moment, he fell into contemplation.

Where is my fire axe? Where the heck is my fire axe?!
