The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Upon hearing Yu Jin's call, the soldiers who were resting at their camp rushed over immediately. However, although they were wearing armor, the weapons in their hands had been replaced with all sorts of strange objects.

What a huge net, iron forks, and bloodstains stuck to the shirt inside the armor.

It doesn't look like a war is about to break out at all.

Looking at the crowd that had gathered, Yu Jin nodded in satisfaction. These were all skilled men he had handpicked from the Shogunate army and the resistance forces, with the aim of testing whether his idea was feasible.

"Okay! Where's the photographer? Where did he go? Get him here right now!"

"They're here! Is there any need to be in such a hurry?!"

As the embers called out, another person squeezed in. This person was none other than Detective Kanoin Heizo, who had been idly wandering around Umijima Island!

However, it's clear that his current role is no longer that of a detective, but rather a temporary cameraman.

He shared this position with Ying and Paimon, who had also squeezed in at the same time.

"Still reading? Aren't you a genius?" Yu Jin ran up to Shinoin Heizo, who was engrossed in reading a thick book.

"Geniuses aren't born knowing everything. Even geniuses have to learn new technologies."

Heizo Kanoin closed his book and glanced at Ember with a slightly resentful look. His trip to Umijima Island was going perfectly well, but then Ember inexplicably dragged him here to do hard labor.

The hard labor wasn't over yet; Ember also made him learn a skill he had never encountered before—camera work.

If Heizo Kanoin wasn't a genius, he probably wouldn't have been able to get into the field of photography in such a short time.

"Have you learned it well?" Yu Jin asked Kanoin Heizo. Actually, Yu Jin originally wanted to be the cameraman himself, but after he tried it out for a while, he found that there was a lot to it.

So Ember decisively shifted the blame to Firefly, Paimon, and Heizo Kanoin, who had been dragged along as a conscript.

"It'll be passable, but the final product should be watchable!" Kanoin Heizo said confidently, arms crossed.

"That's good!" Yu Jin gave Shiroin Heizo a thumbs up.

Anyway, he doesn't really want to make a movie; it's already good enough that it's watchable.

After speaking with Heizo Kanoin, Yu Jin picked up the megaphone again and shouted:

"Everyone, come down with me now. Remember, do exactly as I told you!"

"Any more questions?"

"no!"

Despite having many questions, the soldiers followed the swaggering Ember down the mountain.

After all, besides the soldiers who were unfamiliar with Ying and the others, there were also two generals they knew very well—Kujou Sara and Goro.

……

Walking along the secluded mountain path, Kujo Sara glanced at the formation behind her and couldn't help but frown.

"This isn't the formation for an attack. If we use this formation to meet the monsters' charge, I guarantee we won't last a quarter of an hour!"

Approaching Ember, Kujo Sara solemnly warned him.

But Yu Jin didn't care at all. He waved his hand to reassure Kujo Sara.

"Who said I was going to fight the dragon lizards? As soon as they charge, we'll just run away!"

"We'll specifically target those who are alone and catch them; every single one we catch is a catch!"

Ember gestured with his hands for a few moments, then, as if remembering something, he warned Kujo Sara:

"Oh, and don't forget to squeeze out the blood-soaked liquid I gave you when you run away. It would be even better if you could hold it in your mouth beforehand and then spit it out!"

"..."

Looking at the bright red liquid in his hand, Kujo Sara realized that this was the stuff that one of his soldiers had made when he pretended to fight the rebels.

Why has this thing ended up in Yu Jin's hands? And why is it being used again?

The group made their way down the side path, and after walking for a while, they came upon a still restless dragon lizard in front of them.

The dragon lizards had extraordinary energy; the guards above them changed time and again, but the dragon lizards below never seemed to calm down.

After several days of relentless bombing, the cliffs in this area are in a terrible state. The once pristine white surfaces are now pitch black, riddled with countless craters that are enough to make one's scalp crawl.

Fearing the cliff might collapse, the human defenders who were fighting the dragon lizards had already retreated a distance.

This made the battle even more boring; the dragon lizards, for some unknown reason, unleashed a barrage of firepower at the cliff.

The defending troops above also reduced their attack frequency significantly due to the distance.

Watching the dragon lizards unleash a barrage of elemental missiles towards the cliff face, Goro said with some concern:

"Could these monsters be planning to blast the cliff down and create a path up the mountain?"

"So fierce?" Yu Jin was taken aback when he heard this. If that was the case, then the dragon lizards were quite stubborn. Instead of finding a proper path, they wanted to build one themselves.

Although this method of "road repair" is somewhat too brutal.

The deafening explosions continued unabated. If Ember didn't act soon, the cliff might really be blasted down by the dragon lizards.

So he waved his hand and shouted to the crowd behind him who were poised to charge: "Charge according to plan!"

"All Shogunate members! Charge with me!"

"Those belonging to Haiqi Island, do not fall behind!"

"Rush!!!"

Sand flew everywhere, and in the rising smoke, the embers clapped their hands.

"Not bad, you run pretty fast, there shouldn't be any major problems."

After praising it, Ember pulled out the megaphone again. He looked around and shouted:

"Is the cameraman in position yet? If not, hurry up! The show is about to begin!"

Yu Jin's loud voice, amplified by the loudspeaker, completely drowned out the shouts of the soldiers charging ahead.

The sound was so loud that even the dragon lizards further away were momentarily stunned.

"No problem—, all ready—"

To the left of the line connecting the dragon lizard and the soldiers, a glimmer of gold peeked out from the sparse vegetation.

"It's already finished!"

Opposite to Ying, Shinoin Heizo also dropped his disguise and loudly responded to Yu Jin's shout.

"Me too—but it's so high—I'm afraid the wind will blow me away—"

Paimon's voice echoed from high above. Now, aside from the ground-based perspective, the entire battle was being recorded!

"You really don't need me to do anything?"

At the feet of the embers, the upper body of Yuan Shang emerged from the abyss passage, looking as if it had crawled out of the ground.

"Hmm..." Looking at the group in the distance who had already engaged in combat with the dragon lizards, Yu Jin stroked his chin.

"Since you're so enthusiastic, why don't you be the safety officer for once?"

"this is for you!"

As Yu Jin spoke, he reached into the void and pulled out a handful of blue feathers that he had crumpled into a ball.

"Tvalin's hair? When did you get it?"

"Don't worry about this."

With a wave of his hand, he closed the spatial rift, and the faint roar of the dragon ceased. Ember patted Pa Yuan on the shoulder and instructed him:

"You stay in the abyss passage and watch. If there's any danger, just scatter a feather!"

"Remember, your body must not appear in the frame!"

"Understand!"

Yu Jin shook his head at Yuan Shang, who nodded somewhat bewilderedly.

"Ming...I understand!"

Chapter 560 The Resilient Humanity

2024-03-22

"Roar!!! Humans, have they finally lost their patience?!"

The dragon lizards couldn't possibly be unaware of Yu Jin's actions, which were so significant. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large group of people rushing towards them.

Despite the overwhelming force of the humans, the dragon lizards showed no fear. With a roar, they charged towards the approaching soldiers.

"Take this!" From a great distance, the two leader dragon lizards in the swarm spat out two rapidly approaching elemental missiles.

If this were to land on the ground, a large number of people would definitely get a once-in-a-lifetime ticket to experience being an aerial acrobat.

However, the crowd was not just made up of ordinary soldiers.

"Sahaha!"

After a swift and powerful incantation, Kujo Sara's longbow rapidly gathered elemental power.

"boom!"

The lightning that erupted from the ground collided with the incoming elemental missiles, creating shockwaves.

"Whoosh!" Unfortunately, the power of the lightning could only destroy one elemental missile, while the remaining one flew towards them intact.

"呲~"

Seeing this, Kujo Sara nocked an arrow again, and wisps of lightning danced across her body.

But someone else was faster than her.

"Inusaka Bobo 168, go and meet them!"

"Ow~"

"boom!"

Another huge explosion rang out, and amidst the rolling waves of elements, a sphere was blown out and rolled a long way across the ground.

"..."
