Genshin Impact, all those behind-the-scenes big shots are me

Inside the office, Qin looked at the reports being submitted one after another and couldn't help but sigh.

These are reports of losses from monster attacks in various places, including personnel, supplies, and land, which have nearly doubled in just a few days.

"It seems the situation isn't looking too good."

Su Chen picked up the two reports and glanced at them.

As Qin's assistant, he was well aware of these things.

“This isn’t the worst of it.” Qin said with a worried expression. “Right now, because of the fighting between the Knights and the Earthfire, more and more people are becoming dissatisfied. If this continues, I’m afraid a riot will break out.”

"Either erupt in silence or die in silence." Su Chen smiled calmly. "Most people know what history has witnessed, but few can handle it well."

Qin said with a hint of helplessness, "You can still laugh."

"Perhaps it's not a bad thing. Making a scene and releasing emotions is better than suppressing them all the time."

The actions of the Earth Fire were indeed surprising to Su Chen, yet also quite familiar.

It is truly incredible that five hundred years later, there are still people following in his footsteps.

However, Su Chen quickly thought of someone.

According to the game information, that 'lady', Rosalind, is in Mondstadt.

“I’m even more worried. The Earth Fire had already been suppressed to almost nothing, yet it can now unleash such powerful strength. There must be other forces behind it,” Qin said in a deep voice.

She was able to become the acting leader not only because of Gunnhildr's identity, but also because of her strength and intelligence. In the words of a certain fox, she possessed wisdom, beauty, and strength all at the same time.

Qin suspected that some people with ulterior motives wanted to use the underground fire to achieve their own goals.

So, in Mondstadt today, who else can do this?

Just then, a member of the Knights rushed in, looking flustered.

...

Chapter 17: Rivers of Blood! [Seventh update, 4k words!]

"kill!!!"

"Kill them! Kill these noble lackeys!"

"Kill Andre! He's a parasite on Mondstadt; with him around, none of us will have a good life!"

A fierce battle is raging in an alley in the eastern part of the city.

Members of the Knights, clad in silver armor, were engaged in battle with a group of people dressed in various colors, whose fighting style was mostly chaotic and unpredictable.

They had all sorts of weapons: hoes, sticks, shovels... They were clearly just a group of ordinary Mondstadt civilians!

Normally, the Knights fight to protect Mondstadt, and these people are the ones they protect.

But the current situation is exactly the opposite.

Behind the knights, a man dressed in noble attire was surrounded by several knights, his expression one of terror.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! —

Several arrows flew towards them, but the knight narrowly deflected them.

The nobleman, pale with fright, roared in rage, "Kill them! Slaughter all these damned rioters!"

"Lord Andrei, we must leave this place immediately!" a knight said anxiously.

"Withdraw? What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want me, a nobleman, to flee in a sorry state in the face of a mob's threats? Look at these people, they are filthy, the lowest of the low, yet they dare to try to coerce a nobleman!" the nobleman roared.

"But... Lord Andrei, there are too many of them! If this continues, we definitely won't be able to hold out!"

"Then kill them all! Get to work! Oh damn, are all those weapons just for show? I'm ordering you to kill them now!"

The knight captain looked troubled: "But the commander ordered us not to treat ordinary people..."

"Shut up!" Andrei's face twisted in rage. "These bastards have attacked and killed nobles, disrupting the order of Mondstadt. They are not worthy citizens of Mondstadt! Now, I, Andrei Caster, order you to draw your weapons and kill them all!"

Even if the mob had an overwhelming numerical advantage, how could they possibly win against a well-trained knightly order, given the absolute disparity in weaponry and martial prowess?

The current situation is mainly due to the fact that the attackers are all citizens of Mondstadt, and the Knights of Favonius have been unable to make a decision.

But under Andrei's strong insistence, and faced with the imposing crowd, they drew their weapons.

Hiss~

But as the blade sliced ​​through a civilian's body, a large amount of blood splattered out, splashing onto the ground and igniting an even more intense frenzy.

Most of these Mondstadt citizens came from the slums and were deeply threatened by the dragon plague and oppressed by the nobles.

If you don’t explode in silence, you will die in silence.

These are the words spoken by the original leader of the Earth Fire!

"Fight them!"

Among the crowd, a group of people belonging to the Earthfire rushed to the front and engaged in endless and brutal fighting with the Knights.

Blood splattered, blood flowed like a river!

The entire street was filled with a strong stench of blood. The sounds of fighting and angry shouts could be heard from a great distance. Cold weapons clashed, blades pierced flesh, and one life after another fell.

The Mondstadt citizens stood at the entrance in the distance, their expressions filled with unease.

It wasn't until Jean arrived with the Knights' headquarters that her thoughts were momentarily interrupted when she saw the corpses lying all over the ground.

"Stop! Stop it all!"

Qin rushed into the battlefield, but both sides were already engrossed in the fighting and had no time to pay attention to her presence.

Seeing this, Su Chen waved his hand and said, "You guys hurry up and go up, otherwise Commander Qin might get hurt."

The surrounding knights joined in.

Soon, as Andrei's knights stopped fighting, the rioting crowd was also brought under control by the knights brought by Jean, and the previously chaotic scene was finally brought under control.

"Commander Qin, you've come at the perfect time!" Andrei strode over, angrily saying, "Immediately order the execution of these despicable bastards! How dare they openly attack a nobleman! They're tired of living!"

"Bah! What kind of bullshit nobles are you? A bunch of cowardly bastards! You have nothing but meanness and greed in your bones. Just wait, the flames of the Judge will burn you all to death sooner or later!"

A young man who was being held down raised his head unwillingly.

"Then I'll send you to hell right now!"

Andrei snatched a knight's sword and stabbed the young man.

Ding! —

The sword was stopped by the zither.

Qin said coldly, "Andrei, I will handle everything from now on personally. Please do not interfere with the Knights' affairs."

"Hmph! Fine, killing them would only dirty my hands."

Seeing that all the rioters were under control, Andrei recovered from his panic and resumed his usual arrogant demeanor as a nobleman.

"However, I hope you can handle this matter well, Commander Qin. They must be remnants of the Earth Fire. Quickly eliminate this damned organization, otherwise I will apply for a noble conference in the name of the Caster family. I'm sure Gunnhild won't have an easy time then either."

Threat, naked threat.

Although Gunnhilds is powerful, the noble groups are large. If their interests are threatened and they unite to put pressure on the Knights, then Gunnhilds, where Jean is, will inevitably be under great pressure.

...

Half an hour later, the Knights had cleaned the entire street.

The Mondstadt onlookers had mixed feelings. Although they were not affected this time, the various problems caused by the threat of the dragon scourge had begun to surface, and it was clear that the Knights of Favonius alone could not suppress it.

If the dragon plague is not resolved, then even Mondstadt will no longer be a safe place.

"Your Excellency Su Chen, the site has been cleaned up and you can return now."

A knight walked up to Su Chen and said.

Qin led the rioting crowd away, leaving the rest to Su Chen to handle, and then reported the situation to her.

"Well, hard work."

Su Chen nodded.

"Um..." the knight hesitated for a moment, "what should we do with these corpses?"

They would naturally take care of the bodies of the Knights members, but what about the rioters?

They are Mondstadt citizens in any case, and it wouldn't be appropriate to just abandon them in the wilderness.

“I just checked, and most of these people are from slums.”

"Notify their families to come and claim them. If no one is there, just bury them. Before burying them, please have the church pastor come over," Su Chen said.

When someone dies in Mondstadt, there is a series of procedures before the burial.

However, given the current severe dragon calamity and chaotic situation, it's best to keep things simple.

The knight accepted the order and left.

Su Chen walked through the streets filled with the pungent smell of blood and headed further in.

The East District includes slums, and most of the attackers came from there. Not long after Su Chen walked, he encountered several guys who looked like thugs blocking the alley.

“Get out of here!”

One of the thugs said menacingly, "You lackeys of the Mondstadt nobility, this is not a place for you!"

Su Chen shrugged: "I'm just an ordinary person, neither a knight nor a nobleman."

"Stop pretending! I saw it all; those knights all obey you!"

"That's right, you lackeys of the nobility will all be killed by the subterranean fire sooner or later!"

The thugs glared menacingly at Su Chen.

"Yes, you're right." Su Chen nodded. Seeing that there was no way to pass, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly caught sight of a small figure behind the group of thugs.

He was about eleven or twelve years old, somewhat unkempt, with his hair tied up and his face covered in dust.

Su Chen walked towards the other person.

"Hey! Did you hear me, you bastard? I told you to get away from—uh...uh~"
