Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

The other Fools soldiers, along with the lady's personal guards and two lightning sorcerers, were also captured and transported towards the Knights' headquarters.

"Success?"

Abedo approached Lisa and asked her about her condition.

“She failed. What she wanted was probably more important than I thought.” Lisa stroked her chin, gazing at the woman’s retreating figure, and said slowly, “However, now is not the time to provoke her.”

"If we force her to go berserk, then the pressure Qin will face will probably not be so simple."

That was just a small test by Lisa. If possible, she wanted to provoke the lady, make her angry, and start attacking them.

But the lady actually held back, which surprised Lisa.

Although she has a way to drive the lady mad and make her attack recklessly, this would be very detrimental to the image of the Knights of Favonius.

Therefore, Lisa did not continue to provoke the woman and could only let her leave obediently, while she walked towards the prison on her own.

“But this way, we’ve bought you about a week.” Lisa looked at Abedo and said with a smile, “Next, it’s up to you and that Thor’s familiar.”

Abedo nodded slightly, said nothing more, looked in the direction of the dessert shop, and then turned and left.

He needed to study the poison in Tvalin more deeply, and there was no time to waste now.

Seeing the Fools being arrested, Diluc frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

"...This lady is troublesome."

Kaeya came to Diluc's side and sighed, "You should have noticed by now that she's just holding back temporarily. Even the Knights of Favonius can only control her for a week at most."

"I estimate that the Fools will send a protest tonight, and then, under the pretext of releasing the executor, they will send more soldiers."

This is an invisible pressure, and Zhi Dong's execution is very efficient.

Furthermore, Mondstadt does indeed have fewer combat forces at its disposal now. It's not that it lacks high-end combat forces, but rather that it has fewer elite Favonius Knights, and their numbers are too small.

Including only this place, the daily patrol teams, the monster-hunting teams, as well as the reserve teams, rescue teams, and other teams, the Knights of Favonius now have a total of barely three thousand members.

Yes, that's barely three thousand men. The Grand Master took too many Knights of Favonius on the expedition, and they were all elites.

It's important to understand that three thousand people can't do much; even just routine patrols and protecting the safety of the people in the Mondstadt region are quite difficult tasks.

The arrival of the dragon scourge made things even more difficult for the already struggling Knights of Favonius.

Originally, Qin planned to turn a blind eye to the Fools' mischief and deal with them properly after the Dragon Disaster was resolved.

But what the lady did was really too much; she almost got into a fight with Su Hao in the city today.

This made Jean realize that the Fatui had to be contained as soon as possible, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble they would cause in Mondstadt.

But while Qin's actions temporarily restrained the Fools, they gave Zhidong a reason to send troops over.

That's why Kaeya sighed and had a headache. How should this be handled? Unless the dragon calamity is resolved within a week, this matter will be very difficult to deal with.

“Don’t worry about it,” Diluc said calmly. “The Fatui soldiers will not enter Mondstadt unscathed.”

"Oh? The Night Hero is going to make a move?" Kaeya looked at Diluc with interest and chuckled, "But even if you make a move, you can only intercept a portion of them. The Fatui elites are not to be trifled with."

"And they're used to working in groups; you've learned that the hard way."

Diluc remained silent. He didn't take most of the Fatui members seriously, except for those at the Executor level and their confidants.

But when they band together, to be honest, even Diluc would find it very difficult to deal with the Fools as a group.

A complete squad of Fools is quite powerful in combat, and Winter isn't stupid; she wouldn't send over small squads one by one.

It will definitely be a collective action. Even if Diluc personally joins the battle, the commotion will be enormous, and Mondstadt can pretend they didn't see it.

But Diluc will probably be fighting alone. If he gets injured or something happens to him, that would be a real problem.

However, Kaeya and Diluc didn't say much. They had other things to do, and after exchanging a few words, they left.

The news of the capture of the Fatui Executor and a large number of Fatui soldiers spread throughout Mondstadt that very night.

The Fatui were extremely efficient. After the news spread that night, some of the Fatui advance teams and elites stationed in the Mondstadt wilderness immediately assembled.

They remained still, awaiting orders from the winter.

Meanwhile, the elite Knights of Favonius, after capturing the Lady and the elite of the Fools, immediately launched a massive operation to wipe out the monsters.

Furthermore, through the Adventurers' Guild, Jean also issued a bounty for collecting clues about the Dragon Plague, offering Mora or collectibles depending on the importance of the clues.

Furthermore, Qin noted below that if that person resolved the Dragon Calamity, the Knights of Favonius would bestow upon him the title of Honored Knight and a reward of 100 million Mora.

As the official organization of Mondstadt, the Knights of Favonius are also very wealthy, and 100 million Mora is a small matter for them.

The damage caused by the Dragon Plague cannot be compensated for by 100 million Mora, so if there is a capable person who can resolve this incident, it would be a good thing for Mondstadt.

After the Adventurers' Guild issued the quest, many well-known adventurers accepted it and rushed off to investigate the Dragon Plague incident.

In an instant, the whole of Mondstadt became lively.

At this moment, inside the Knights of Favonius prison.

The woman was imprisoned with two of her close associates, and she remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, judging from her constant pacing, she was quite anxious. After all, she was really anxious, so anxious that she wished she could use her elemental power to blast open this prison.

She has the ability, and this prison is also a vanity project.

Because of her status as an executive officer of the Fools, the prison she was in was more like a small room than a prison, but it was fully equipped and would not make her suffer too much.

This is considered house arrest. As long as the lady doesn't go out and stays here, everything will be fine.

If she leaves, then the Fools will be completely blacklisted by Mondra.

Judging from Jean's attitude as acting leader, Mondstadt has lost patience with the Fatui.

Although this was also part of the lady's plan, and she even intended to be captured by Jean, since Barbatos, the god of wind, was not present.

These Knights of Favonius think they can stop the Abyss Order's plot or defeat Dvalin, the Familiar of the Wind God, head-on?! That's utterly delusional!

Furthermore, the lady also wanted to take advantage of her capture to infiltrate the Fatui forces into Mondstadt and try to take control of this free city.

However, things have changed. After learning that the wind god Barbatos has appeared, the lady wants to change her plans and go to seize the heart of the god.

As a result of the intense hatred, the acting commander directly imprisoned her and the other Fools soldiers.

"Madam, why are you so agitated today?"

As the lady's confidant, the Thunderfire Sorcerer looked at her with some strangeness, not understanding why the lady was so agitated today.

By deliberately provoking the Knights of Favonius and being imprisoned, one can wait a while before being able to openly allow other soldiers to garrison Mondstadt.

Isn't this part of the plan? Why is Your Excellency so agitated today?

"Because the target has appeared."

The woman looked towards the doorway and said coldly, "If the target hadn't appeared, why would I be in such a hurry? It's these Knights of Favonius who should be anxious."

The two lightning sorcerers were stunned. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

The target?! Could it be?! Barbatos, the god of wind?!

As the lady's confidants, the two lightning sorcerers also knew who their target was.

The two lightning sorcerers were so shocked precisely because they knew who their target was—and then this happened?! What a coincidence!

Now the two lightning sorcerers understood why the lady was in such a hurry.

That's because the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt are no threat; they simply cannot resolve the dragon scourge in such a short time.

But if we add Barbatos, the god of wind, then things might be different.

No matter what, he is the God of Wind, an existence on par with the Empress.

The two lightning sorcerers still held reverence for the gods.

"Now that things have come to this, we have to think of a solution."

The woman glanced at the lightning mage beside her and said calmly, "You need to find a way to escape and leak the information."

"We must put pressure on Mondstadt as soon as possible and get them to release me within three days."

It's clearly unlikely that the lady could release all the Fools soldiers from the prison at once, given her arrogant actions today.

In a sense, it was also a plan to let the Knights of Favonius use this momentum to imprison them all.

Unexpectedly, the target mission appeared, which made the woman very anxious. She even sent her subordinates to break out of prison to reveal the information.

"This……"

The Thunderfire Sorcerer hesitated. This kind of prison couldn't stop them at all, but what if the Knights of Favonius discovered them?

Wouldn't that be a blatant slap in their face?

After all, they had only just entered, and not long after, one of them had already escaped. Wasn't this a bit disrespectful to the Knights of Favonius?

"Go quickly." Knowing what the Thunderfire Sorcerer was thinking, the woman said coldly, "Their main focus is on me. Even if you disappear, they won't say anything more."

"According to the Knights of Favonius' current plan, most of their elites have gone outside the city to exterminate monsters and the Abyss Order, and they have no time to pay attention to us."

"As long as I don't leave, then there's absolutely no problem."

The woman was well aware of how much hatred she held in the Knights of Favonius; anyone could escape, but she was the only one who couldn't.

If she escapes from prison, it would be tantamount to a complete break with the Knights of Favonius.

Then the Fools will have to prepare for a great battle with the Knights of Favonius.

Even if we win, it will anger the main force of the Knights of Favonius, who are on an expedition somewhere unknown, and things will become very, very troublesome.

The woman enjoyed causing trouble for others but disliked getting into trouble herself, so she could only follow the rules and wait silently in prison.

They wait for the pressure from the Winter Solstice to force the Knights of Favonius to release them.

And most importantly now, we need to pass on the information about the appearance of Barbatos, the wind god, to Winter, so that they can send people, or even an executive officer, to Mondstadt.

Although the lady wanted to personally extract the heart of the wind god Barbatos, with Su Hao now involved, she didn't know if she could succeed.

"understood."

The lightning mage nodded, indicating that she understood, and then she transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from the prison.

After the lightning pyromancer disappeared, the Knight of Favonius, who was in charge of guarding the prison, seemed to realize something and rushed in. She then saw that the lady's cell was missing a lightning pyromancer.

This caused the Knight of Favonius to change her expression drastically, and she immediately questioned the lady about what she was doing!
