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

Fortunately, the direction they jumped from didn't change. Caesar held onto the guard tightly, and the two of them crashed into a tree next to the watchtower. Their companions below rushed over to help them.

"Captain! Max!"

The two climbed down from the tree.

"Captain, you're injured?" a young man exclaimed.

The area behind Caesar was covered in a blackened, charred mass, a large, bloody mess. The guard named Max had only suffered some minor abrasions from hanging on the tree.

"go!"

Caesar roared, "Go back and inform everyone immediately!"

Before the others could react, they heard a series of noises coming from afar.

The massive Ruins Guardian strode forward with heavy steps, as countless Hilichurls converged into a horde of monsters, including archers, shamans, torchbearers, shield bearers, and a large swarm of slimes.

"so much?!"

This number stunned everyone in the team.

Caesar said to leave without any hesitation, and only then did everyone realize what was happening, hurriedly retreating towards Mondstadt.

"Hehehe~ Knight of Favonius, run for your life!"

A mage appeared above the army of monsters, letting out a low laugh.

Then, after saying something, the Hilichurls suddenly began to accelerate. There were simply too many of them, and the knight squad had no intention of resisting them. It wasn't until they passed two small outposts that the knights' group gathered and reached a certain size.

"We can't retreat any further; we need to buy Mondstadt enough time!"

The three teams gathered together, with a total of only twenty people.

They quickly selected a fast young man to go back and deliver the message, while the rest of the men used the defensive structures to begin the battle.

"bring it on!"

The dozen or so silver-armored soldiers each performed their duties, and their fear and unease dissipated when they raised their longswords.

Caesar roared, "Kill them!!!"

...

News of the monster tide was quickly relayed back to Mondstadt by the knights.

Su Chen rushed to the Knights Building after receiving the news. Lisa had already gathered her men and was discussing countermeasures.

With Jean absent and most of the knights on duty outside, less than a fifth of the knights remained in Mondstadt, and many of them were carrying out missions while injured.

In this situation, dealing with a large-scale monster siege is a challenge. If the city gates are not defended, no one dares to imagine what will happen.

"How could so many monsters suddenly appear? And they're even planning to attack the city?"

"A captain-level knight said in disbelief."

Normally, Hilichurls will subconsciously stay away from human towns.

Their camps are often located deep in the mountains and forests.

It is because of the recent dragon disaster that they have become irritable and are attacking humans.

But the storm has stopped, isn't the dragon disaster getting better?

"It must be the Abyss Order that's behind this."

After Lisa finished speaking, the conference room door opened, and Su Chen walked in.

"Old... Su Chen, you're finally here." Lisa breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?"

"According to reports, a large number of demonic creatures have appeared in the direction of the Temple of a Thousand Winds, and have already crossed the Windrise. They will likely reach Mondstadt within half an hour. I have ordered the city guards to prepare for battle, and the citizens of the city have begun to evacuate, but..."

"Insufficient combat strength?"

Su Chen glanced around and knew what was going on just by looking at the expressions on everyone's faces.

The city was mostly populated by wounded soldiers. The injured knights were good at maintaining order, but sending them to fight monsters was tantamount to suicide.

Aside from these people, there aren't many others who can be taken out.

"Alright, everyone, please do as I say."

Without any extra time to think, Su Chen arranged all aspects of the work based on the current conditions.

After he finished speaking, he found the entire conference room to be unusually quiet.

Su Chen raised an eyebrow: "Why are you all staring at me? Hurry up and get moving!"

"Oh, oh, okay!"

"Let's go right now!"

They were genuinely shocked.

Is this something an assistant should be doing?

Is this something an assistant can do?

Su Chen's arrangements were so comprehensive that even Qin couldn't have considered everything so thoroughly. So, although Su Chen had no authority to order them around in his position, these people still acted as instructed.

"Teacher, you really are..."

Lisa thought to herself, "So you're not pretending anymore, are you?"

Little did she know that this was Su Chen's subconscious reaction; in this situation, his identity as the leader of the group was automatically activated.

"We're far from having enough manpower." Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Next, he immediately sent someone to contact the Fools, requesting their help based on the previous cooperation agreement to assist in dealing with the dragon calamity.

The lady had already left the city; she had her own mission to carry out, so Su Chen couldn't directly ask her for assistance in the defense. However, the lady had previously instructed that the Fools would cooperate with the Knights in dealing with the Dragon Disaster.

However, most of the Fatui members are currently out fighting monsters. This was a special arrangement made by Jean to prevent the Fatui from using the pretext of assisting in defense to cause trouble in the city again.

As a result, this action also sent the main fighting force of the Fools out of the country.

Su Chen had no time to complain about anyone. After informing the Fools, he immediately sent Arya to the Earthfire stronghold.

...

"The monsters are coming! The monsters are coming!"

The entire city of Mondstadt was in complete chaos.

Monsters are attacking the city!

This is the first time something like this has happened since the Dragon Plague began.

Moreover, everyone has seen many members of the Knights Order going out these past few days, so even those who aren't part of the Knights Order can guess how many troops are currently in the city.

Few people, many monsters.

If the city gates were forced open, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I just came back from outside the city. There were so many, I can't even count them all!"

"Oh no, we haven't even dealt with the Stormterror yet, and now so many more monsters have appeared."

"Lord Barbatos, please help your people."

"I wonder if the Knights can hold them off."

"It's hard to say whether they'll even have the courage to go out."

A rapidly shifting squad of knights suddenly stopped, and the leading knight strode toward the speaker and stopped in front of him.

A dignified face, a serious gaze.

"No matter who you are, please do not doubt the Knights' resolve!" the man said in a deep voice. "Unless we all die outside, not a single monster will be able to break into the city! This is our home too. We will not run away, nor can we! And you, even if you say one more word of encouragement, it would be better than complaining and making wild guesses here!"

"I... I didn't say you would definitely..." The man was clearly intimidated by the knight's imposing manner.

"That's for the best. Remember, keep your petty thoughts to yourself! The Knights' duty is to protect Mondstadt. Killing the enemy is our responsibility, but I will never allow my comrades to be insulted without cause! We fight on the front lines, battling monsters. Please don't let our sacrifices be met with indifference and misunderstanding. I hope that those we protect are worthy of our protection!"

"go!"

Time is tight.

After the knight finished speaking, he immediately led his squad toward the city gate.

...

"Mr. Su Chen, the monsters are here!"

When Su Chen climbed the city wall, he saw a vast, dark expanse in the distance.

"They really went all out."

There was no monster siege in the game.

Su Chen could roughly guess that the Abyss Cult wanted to prevent them from going to Dvalin by attacking the city, thus buying more time for Dvalin to be corrupted.

However, the Abyss Order probably didn't expect that Jean and her group acted quickly and had already set off.

At this moment.

Some of the knights inside the city climbed onto the city walls and used elemental cannons and crossbows for defense.

The rest of them were stationed at one end of the bridge leading into the city, using their geographical advantage to fight back.

Besides them, there was also a group of fully armed fools.

Su Chen never imagined that one day he would fight alongside the Fools.

Outside the city, the demon army had already stepped onto the bridge.

The knight captain roared, "Fire!—"

Chapter 36 Fierce Battle

Bang, bang, bang!

The scorching shells streaked across the sky and crashed into the horde of monsters. The violent explosions created a vacuum, but it was quickly filled by the influx of monsters that followed.
