The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Here you go, that's enough!"

"call!"

After saying that, a powerful and heavy tail sweep came down.

"what!"

"Cuck!"

"Uh!"

The soldiers cooperated perfectly, flying straight out. This left the stopped dragon lizard puzzled; it seemed it hadn't hit the target.

But then it saw several soldiers lying beside it and realized that it must have been mistaken.

"Soldiers, we need to bury them..."

The dragon lizard stopped speaking before it could finish the word "burial." It rubbed its wide-open eyes, and a look of astonishment, visible even to a human, appeared on its long, slender face.

"Humans, they're still alive?!"

To the lizard's utter disbelief, the human it thought was surely dead suddenly stood up again—and there were several more wounds on his body from which blood was gushing out.

"Damn it! Something must have gone wrong!" The dragon lizard felt a chill run down his spine as he saw the soldiers surrounding him again.

It had never seen a creature so badly injured yet still so full of life, whether human or monster.

"We will not fall until we capture you! Take this!" The soldier, bleeding profusely, roared with all his might, then plunged his steel fork into the dragon lizard's body.

But the dragon lizard, with its waist impaled by the steel fork, remained motionless, just like a soldier who had impaled his steel fork on a giant tree.

The lizard looked down at the human who was exerting all his strength, then gripped the handle of the fork in front of him with its claws and squeezed hard.

"Boom!"

The steel fork snapped in two instantly, leaving everyone present momentarily speechless. The soldier held the broken fork upright, staring blankly at the broken end.

Could it be that the logistics staff are so heartless as to use substandard products for them?

"Strange, but very weak!" The lizard's unease vanished due to the soldiers' poor performance. It shook its head and charged forward again.

Seeing the menacing dragon lizards, the soldiers finally realized why Ember had told them not to confront them head-on.

Because you simply can't touch it!

"Run!" After shouting, the soldiers turned and ran wildly across the open plain.

Soldiers covered in blood ran ahead, relentlessly pursued by ferocious monsters.

This scene should be extremely terrifying, but there's just something off about it here.

The reason for this was that the "blood-stained" soldiers in front were running too fast and did not look like they were seriously injured at all.

In battles of moderate size, this combination is the dominant one. It's less of a fight and more of a cat-and-mouse game between the dragon lizard and the human.

Even if some exceptionally strong soldiers in the army were able to pack up and take the dragon lizard away, it wouldn't change the strange atmosphere of the battlefield.

This situation only improved when the blue giant dragon lizard, with a tattered net on its head, frantically tried to escape.

"boom!"

"Human, I've had enough of fighting you!" The purple dragon lizard swatted away the approaching Inu-saka Bobo with a paw, then glared fiercely at Goro, who was also covered in blood.

In fact, it had already been thinking about leaving; the human in front of it was just too strange.

Despite being hit so many times, the human could always get back up, which made the dragon lizard start to doubt its own strength.

The dragon lizard's strength is certainly not in question, but as for why Goro was able to withstand so many attacks and stand up again...

That's because the dragon lizard never considered the possibility that its attack might miss.

After all, with each attack, Goro would always have many more "wounds" on his body, which made the dragon lizard automatically ignore the strange feeling when it hit.

The lizards were quite naive; they never even considered the possibility that the humans were feigning injury.

Seeing its companion retreat quickly, the purple dragon lizard didn't linger and immediately ran away after it.

Its mind couldn't understand why humans were so strange. So it naturally sought help from its own kind.

If the two leader lizards acted this way, the others naturally followed suit. Seeing their leaders retreat, the other lizards, whether chasing or fighting, quickly retreated as well.

On the vast battlefield, only panting humans and a few unlucky dragon lizards that had been captured remained.

"Phew... this... is that all?" Goro picked up the dazed Inusaka Bobo from the ground. Bobo's body was also covered in Goro's blood.

When it comes to acting, it's natural to try to make it as realistic as possible.

"I don't know." Kujo Sara rushed over, her face covered with large patches of bloody red spots, looking extremely miserable at first glance.

Just as everyone was discussing their experiences in this "battle," Ember's voice rang out once again.

Suddenly, he appeared out of nowhere, holding a megaphone, and shouted across the battlefield, "Thank you all for your cooperation! I hereby declare the first act a complete success!"

Chapter 562 Review

2024-03-23

The following night, on the high ground at the edge of Haizhi Island, the group of people who had already returned were chatting.

"By the way, how many scenes are you going to shoot?" Kanoin Heizo asked cautiously, glancing at Yu Jin who was fiddling with the phonograph.

If Ember wants to film many scenes, he'll have to find a way to slip away.

"I don't know how many scenes I'll be shooting; it depends on the results." Yu Jin scratched his head. It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea; he didn't have any fixed plan at all.

This left Kanoin Heizo speechless. It seemed that Yu Jin meant that the construction period was still uncertain.

"Let me see the finished product." After fiddling with the phonograph for a while, Yu Jin didn't manage to produce anything of note, so he promptly returned it to Shinoin Heizo.

"Yeah, yeah, release it! I've been wanting to see my masterpiece for ages!" Paimon flew over with his phonograph.

She flew over the dazzling battlefield for a long time, almost getting hit by stray bullets several times, before finally completing the task that Ember had given her.

Now that he has some free time, Paimon is definitely going to take a good look at the fruits of his labor.

"I knew you'd say that. Luckily, I stayed up all night to edit what I filmed."

What is editing?

"..."

Kanoin Heizo slapped his forehead, realizing that he had wasted his breath talking to Ember about these things.

He got up, skillfully set up the projector and screen, and prepared to start the playback.

"Why are you so skilled?"

Seeing Kanoin Heizo's practiced movements, Hotaru, who was already sitting in front of the curtain, couldn't help but comment.

Even a genius couldn't possibly learn so much in such a short time, right?

"I originally planned to use this to raise public awareness about fraud cases, but unfortunately it was stopped due to the lockdown order and the eye-hunting order."

As Kanoin Heizo spoke, a sigh lingered on his face. He recalled how he had once specially asked someone to make a trip to Fontaine to buy the necessary equipment.

"Oh!" Ying hugged Paimon and nodded thoughtfully.

"Hurry up, grab a spot if you want to come, or you'll have to climb the tree!"

As soon as Yu Jin saw the images starting to scroll across the screen, he waved to the large group of bystanders behind him.

He shouldn't have said anything, because as soon as he did, a large group of people surrounded him. In fact, these soldiers were also very curious about what Yu Jin was up to by making them do so many bizarre things.

A crowd gathered in front of the curtain, including many local residents of Haizhi Island who had come from nearby to join the fun.

As soon as the first sound rang out, the previously noisy crowd quieted down.

"Rush!!!"

"Roar!!!"

The scene shows soldiers charging with dragon lizards. It was filmed by Paimon, and because it was shot from the air, the view from above is even more breathtaking.

"boom"

"boom!"

Next came the scene of dragon lizards fighting humans, a scene that was extremely bloody—humans were always covered in blood.

This caused many people who had gathered nearby to cover their eyes.

"Uh... I won't let you escape!"

"Humans, why aren't you dead yet?!"

The scene shifts to a soldier clinging to the lizard's leg, refusing to let go. Then the lizard's claws swoop down, and the screen goes completely black.

"what!"

Someone couldn't help but exclaim in alarm; judging from the scene, the soldier was probably in grave danger.

However, besides regret and surprise, there are also quite a few people who are puzzled—such as the person in the picture.

"Did you deliver something? Why are you being made to look like a hero here?" A soldier's comrade patted him on the shoulder and teased him.

His companion clearly remembered that the guy immediately rolled away when the dragon lizard swung its claws, and the speed at which it rolled was truly eye-opening.

Unexpectedly, this has led the soldiers to act as if they were sacrificing themselves for righteousness.

"How would I know?" The soldier scratched his head awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed by the high praise he had received.

At first, the soldier thought that this "preferential treatment" was only for him, but as the footage was broadcast, more and more people like him appeared on the screen.

Of course, this only applies to the screen. The soldiers below know their own character well, and they are absolutely not as noble as they appear on screen.

An awkward atmosphere, difficult to describe, permeated the crowd. The only ones unaffected were the residents of Haizhi Island who had come from nearby to join the commotion.

"So...so there are so many heroes in the shogunate. I...I used to think that everyone in the shogunate was a villain."

"I'm sorry, please accept my apology!"

An older woman, with tears in her eyes, tightly grasped the soldier's hands and bowed deeply.

"No...it's alright, this is what we soldiers of the Shogunate should do!" The soldier said stiffly, his scalp tingling.

They were overwhelmed by this gratitude!
