After Aili finished her part, the situation on the ground also improved significantly.
After all, Rita had one less Honkai Beast attacking her, and the Honkai Beasts around her now had even more wounds.
Fu Hua's side was still the same as before; after all, Fu Hua was not only facing the Honkai Emperor but also other Honkai Beasts.
However, the tide of victory had already begun to shift towards the Valkyries.
The number of Honkai Beasts was always highest among the lowest-tier ones, but these lowest-tier Honkai Beasts couldn't even reach the Valkyries under the assault of the floating battleships.
Meanwhile, the individual combat capabilities of the Valkyries always surpassed those of the Honkai Beasts.
After all, the Valkyrie assessment standards were clearly set.
Every B-Rank Valkyrie must be able to easily contend with a Chariot-class Honkai Beast.
Aili's presence merely made it a bit easier for the Valkyries, who were already destined to win.
As the Honkai Beasts on the field grew fewer, the Honkai Emperor became even more agitated.
It began to use various attacks indiscriminately, regardless of whether they would hit Fu Hua or the Honkai Beasts next to her.
"Rita, test your new armor. Conveniently, we can also bring back some samples of that Honkai Emperor." A male voice entered Rita's ear through her comms.
"Understood, Lord Bishop." Rita repelled the Thunder God-class Honkai beast in front of her, then retreated a few steps herself.
Following a "restriction Release" prompt in Rita's vision, her body was encased in a new set of armor.
From the rooftop, Aili also saw Rita's armor, while Fu Hua showed no change, having already seen this particular armor set.
Arbiter: Lunar Vow.
Rita's maid outfit transformed into a blue, black, and white armored suit, with a blue cape flowing behind her.
Her scythe, which resembled a rose, became a scythe with a blue blade.
As soon as she changed into her armor, Rita swung her scythe at the Honkai Beast in front of her.
A blade mark immediately appeared on the Thunder God-class Honkai beast's shield, and frost slowly began to spread from the mark across the entire shield.
Rita raised the scythe in her hand and made a bowing gesture towards the Honkai Beast in front of her.
"Now, allow me to clear the battlefield."
Subsequently, Rita charged directly towards the enemy whose shield was frozen.
Wielding her scythe, as more wounds appeared on the enemy, more ice formed on its body. Before long, all the Honkai Beasts near Rita were encased in ice.
Afterward, Rita advanced towards the Honkai Emperor.
"Awaken, Lord of Frost!"
Rita slammed the handle of her scythe into the ground, and then some dark blue slashes appeared around her.
When these slashes made contact with the Honkai Emperor, frost began to appear on its body.
A phantom silver-white figure also materialized behind Rita.
Seeing Rita approach the Honkai Emperor, Fu Hua no longer concerned herself with the Honkai Emperor's attacks and began to deal with the Thunder God-class Honkai beasts around her.
Previously, the Honkai Emperor's interference and the hardness of these Thunder God-class Honkai beasts' shields had prevented her from eliminating them.
Now that Rita was facing the Honkai Emperor, it was time to dispatch these Thunder God-class Honkai beasts.
She punched the Honkai Beast's shield aside, then parried its spear with a palm, and retreated a step to dodge another Honkai Beast's spear.
Deadly Force: Severing the Sea.
Fu Hua directly lunged forward, smashing a punch into the body of the Thunder God-class Honkai beast.
Fu Hua's punch directly pierced through the Thunder God-class Honkai beast's body.
After dealing with this Honkai Beast, Fu Hua turned her attention to the other Honkai Beasts.
Now, she just needed to eliminate them one by one.
When the battles on the field finally concluded, Aili lay on the edge of the building, looking down at the battlefield.
She didn't know how she felt.
This was the first time she had participated in such a battle.
Most of the Valkyries who suffered casualties below were from the early stages of the battle, all from the Manila branch.
After the battle ended, the floating battleships slowly descended, hovering at a certain distance from the ground.
Fu Hua and Rita also arrived on top of this building.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Aili didn't turn around.
After Fu Hua reached Aili's back, she also looked down at the battlefield. She felt nothing, as if such battlefields were something she had experienced many times before.
"Thank you for your support, Miss Aili." Rita spoke, having already changed back into her maid-like armor.
"It's nothing. Even without me, wouldn't this battle still be a victory for the Valkyries?"
"At least, with your support, our casualties will be fewer, won't they?" Rita said with a smile.
"Aili can't decide the outcome of the battlefield, you know. Those below are the greatest contributors to this battle." Aili turned around and said to Rita.
"Yes, every Valkyrie played a very important role." Rita agreed with Aili.
"However, your armor, Rita, is very impressive. It can even freeze that Honkai Emperor."
"Yes, that armor is a prototype fourth-generation armor. Rita is only responsible for testing it." Rita maintained her usual demeanor.
"Fourth-generation armor? I thought it had only reached the third generation." Aili looked Rita up and down.
"Where is that armor stored? You don't have any place on your body to store armor," Aili asked, somewhat confused.
"The new generation of armor is still confidential. Please forgive Rita for being unable to answer that question." Rita bowed her head slightly.
"Then, was the S-Rank Valkyrie Durandal in that video also wearing fourth-generation armor? That armor looked very similar to the one you just wore."
Aili said, stroking her chin.
"Yes, I can answer that question for you. Our captain, Lady Durandal, has her own fourth-generation armor." When speaking of Durandal, Rita's tone became more enthusiastic.
"That's great. But it's only right for someone as strong as her to have her own armor." Aili said, leaning directly against the railing.
"Hua, Rita, what will be the fate of this city in the future? Will it be like Nagazora City?" Aili looked up at the sky and asked.
Fu Hua didn't speak because she also didn't know the future fate of this city.
"Regarding this city, the logistics team will conduct cleanup within the city afterward, and then it will re-enter the public's view," Rita said.
"Is that so? Never mind, these matters won't fall on Aili's head anyway. It's better to let those higher-ups worry about such things."
Then Aili looked at Fu Hua, "Hua, are we leaving now?"
Listening to Aili's question, Fu Hua looked at Rita.
"The remaining matters can be handled by our Immortal Blade Squad and the logistics team. Miss Aili and Lady Fu Hua may leave first." After saying that, Rita bowed to the two of them, then turned and left.
After Rita left, Aili also looked at Fu Hua.
"Then, Hua, let's leave here too. Aili doesn't like battlefields." Aili sighed.
"Okay."
