The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Puff puff!"

The exploding elemental potions painted the plaza in vibrant colors. The Void Terminal's urging spurred the guards to fight fearlessly, but it still couldn't stop their decline.

Limbs kept flying out from the front of the crowd. Judging from the large amount of blood flowing out of the Church House, the perpetrators had fought their way out of the Church House.

“…I take back what I just said.”

"It's my personal choice; I'm going to help the Order of the Church now."

Elhesen looked at it, and then drew two emerald green swords.

Chapter 717 The Stressful Sumeru

2024-06-08

"kill!"

The deafening sounds of battle around him irritated the doctor. He stepped forward, reached out, and grabbed the charging guard by the neck.

With a "crack," the guard's head tilted limply to one side, and his body ceased its thrashing.

"boom!"

The guard's body was thrown out, its broken spine connected to its lifeless head, swaying back and forth as the body rolled, a truly horrifying sight.

But to the guards in the distance, who surged like a tide, none of this seemed to exist.

Scattered limbs, corpses with open eyes, and blood that would splatter at the slightest step... none of this affected the guards' attack in the slightest.

These people seemed to have become mindless machines, their sole purpose being to kill the doctor in front of them.

"puff!"

Retracting the arm that had pierced the chest, the Doctor saw the Void Terminal flashing beside the fallen guard's ear, and he realized that the source of all the strangeness was there.

"I never imagined this thing could make people so willing to die. It's truly astonishing." The doctor smiled. Now that he knew the problem, it was easy to solve.

He ordered a corpse on the ground to remove the Void Terminal from its ear, and his blood-soaked palm stained the emerald green leaves crimson.

A green light flickered amidst the crimson light as the Doctor modified the Void Terminal while dealing with the swarming guards from all sides.

However, there were simply too many guards. The Doctor realized that instead of modifying each Void Terminal one by one, it would be better to start with the Great Sage's last command.

But how easy is that? The Great Sage has the highest authority in the void, and this command was compiled by him for unforeseen circumstances. Both its authority and level of protection are at their peak.

Therefore, it is impossible to modify it in a short period of time.

Just as the doctor was struggling with this, he suddenly frowned, instinctively composed himself, and jumped backward, which was the first time he had ever retreated.

"whisper!"

The green light dissipated, and Elhesen pulled his weapon from the ground. He had originally intended to smash the doctor's head in one go, but it was clear now that he had failed.

The guards continued their relentless attack on the doctor, the only difference being that they bypassed the standing Elhesen.

"Scatter! Go to the rear!" The Void Terminal next to Elhesen's ear also flashed brightly, and with his shout, the charging guards actually stopped.

"Hey..."

"What...what happened here?"

"Tired...so tired..."

……

When the guards awoke from their frenzy and saw the square covered in blood, many of them vomited on the spot.

"Sumeru has been invaded by foreign enemies." Seno jumped out from the crowd and stood next to Elhesen.

"A...a Grand Disciplinary Officer?!"

Upon seeing Seno, the guards' tone immediately became complex, filled with fear yet not lacking in strength.

The only explanation is that the fearsome discipline officer sided with them.

"Long spear battalion, take your men and seize all the assets and personnel of the Fools in Sumeru City."

"Third crossbow team, 100 meters southeast at 3 o'clock, in a hunting formation; Fourth alchemy team, follow behind us, release interference and enhancement potions as needed."

"Notify Siddham Academy to activate the alchemy array in Sumeru City, enhance the perception of the earth's vein circulation, and implement elemental sealing on the Fools within the city."

……

As Cyno issued a series of orders from the void terminal, everyone realized that the Grand Disciplinary Officer was not just a Grand Disciplinary Officer.

With the Great Sage relinquishing power, the Grand Discipline Officer takes charge of the armed forces of Sumeru.

The crowded people quickly dispersed from the square of the Church, and soon only Elhesen and his party, along with the two squads of guards that Seno had personally requested to stay, remained.

"Should we notify the Ridovan Academy to interfere with Zhidong's astrology and communications? Otherwise, we can't handle another executive officer."

Seno unleashed the full power of Hermanubis within him, but even so, he did not make any rash moves.

“No need.” Al-Hysen lifted his foot and saw a patch of blood on his boot.

Looking around, the corpses, limbs, and wounded had already been taken away. In the distance, Ember and Galuro, standing on the branches of the sacred tree, waved to Elhesen to reassure him.

"call……"

After seeing the blood flowing from the sacred tree and hearing the occasional wails, Elhesen let out a deep breath.

"If another executive officer arrives, then notify the Little Lucky Grass King to modify the World Tree! As for how to modify it, that's up to us!"

Elhesen pointed his weapon at the doctor, his calm face masking his suppressed rage.

"Hehe, no need to be so extreme. Aren't I busy getting that reckless guard to retreat?"

A bead of sweat appeared on the Doctor's face beneath his mask; he now regretted killing the Great Sage so rashly.

If he hadn't died, there wouldn't be so much trouble, and they might even have been able to use him to cause trouble for Elhesen and his group.

"You're very talented. I'm curious how you managed to get those guys to back down. Would you be interested in joining the Fools?"

The doctor looked at Elheisen and began to consider recruiting him. He still needed a capable assistant, and someone like Elheisen would be perfect.

"Hmm... have you ever seen the great sage of Mount Sumeru defect? ​​Although I am only half of him now."

Without a second thought, Elhesen refused. Like the doctor, he had also wanted the guards to stop.

However, his idea differed from the Doctor's. The Doctor directly attempted to forcibly modify the void using an identity that did not exist in the database, while Elhesen tried to usurp the Great Sage's authority using his identity as a scribe, thereby preventing the guards from dying.

"I see. Your abilities are more suited to the position of Great Sage than that good-for-nothing Hazard."

The doctor nodded in sudden realization; he truly hadn't expected that there was such a talented individual in the Academy.

"Sumeru, I truly underestimated you all. So, farewell, everyone!"

Having said that, the doctor's figure suddenly vanished into thin air.

"Keep up!" ×2

However, Seno and Elhesen shouted in unison to the crowd behind them, and then quickly rushed into the Church Council.

Just as everyone was confused, their void terminals suddenly lit up. Then, an upright "spider web" appeared before their eyes.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a spider web; it was the earth vein beneath Sumeru City, or rather, it was inside a tree.

The city of Sumeru was built against a tree, and its ley lines are different from those of ordinary places. The ley lines here are buried deep within the sacred tree, which is why it appears to "stand" upright.

On the pristine white spiderweb, several bright spots flashed and attracted attention, one of which was moving rapidly forward, followed closely by two others.

"Follow me!" Knowing that no one would be watching, Tinali told the people behind him to follow.

Hearing this, everyone followed without suspicion. The guards outside, following Seno's order, slowly withdrew.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Finally, it seems the Order of the Fathers has some brains after all." Yu Jin stood on the blood-stained branch, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"The Siddham Academy has become even more powerful than when I was there, using elemental forces to disturb the earth's veins to determine a person's location."

"So that's your reason for being so late?" Ember glanced at the Great Tree King. Elhesen and the others rushed in, and this guy had only just arrived. He was really too slow.

"Phew... You can go and see the deep pit in the Atuo River Valley. If you can stay calm, then pretend I didn't say anything."

"I'll go take a look after I finish things here."

Hearing Galura calling him again, Ember hurriedly replied and then turned and ran away.

Looking at the corpses and wounded on the branches, the Great Tree King asked a question.

"They... they should all be alright, right?"

"Who are you underestimating? Of course, that's assuming you didn't throw in an old, dried-up corpse."

Yu Jin waved his hand, his tone full of confidence.

Chapter 718 Field Physician Training

2024-06-09

"what……"

"Help... help..."

"Coming...coming!"

……

The bloodstains in the plaza outside the Order have been cleaned up, but that doesn't mean it's back to its former pristine state—because Ember has moved the wounded here.

He placed them on the sacred tree, but Yu Jin was worried that the wounded would fall off as they rolled around, so he simply moved all the wounded over there, since the place was empty anyway.

"Boom!"

A reassuring, soft light emanated from afar, momentarily easing the cries of pain from the wounded.

But this still couldn't change the terrifying atmosphere. Inside the church compound, roars echoed, while outside, wails of agony filled the air.

The doctor never considered the option of "showing mercy" when he was fighting; losing limbs was commonplace for the wounded.

If they hadn't received emergency treatment to stop the bleeding, the square that had just been cleaned would probably have been stained blood red again.

Even so, this group was considered lucky, because they were only grazed by the aftershocks of the attack. As for those who took direct damage...

Yu Jin looked at the large number of corpses around him. Some had their heads missing, while others had chests large enough to pass through, making them completely beyond saving.
