After the battle, Qin arranged for her men to take care of the wounded, and then she walked toward Su Zhe, who was standing alone to the side.

"Lord Su Zhe, thank you for your help."

She bowed slightly to Su Zhe.

His demeanor was graceful and dignified, possessing both the fortitude of a warrior and the elegance of a nobleman.

Su Zhe chuckled and said, "It's nothing."

He had just returned from the sea, and casually wiped out a QQ human camp, looted... cough cough, took some of their food, and then unexpectedly discovered that there were human clothes inside, so he casually took them and wore them.

When we arrived here, we happened to come across the QQ siege battle.

After this battle, he gained a better understanding of his combat abilities in human form.

Without using any special methods, relying solely on physical strength, defeating an ordinary possessor of the Eye of God is not a problem.

Even a seasoned warrior like Beidou couldn't match his raw strength.

Of course, experience often has unexpected benefits in real-world situations.

However, although Su Zhe's skills are lacking, he still possesses extraordinary abilities such as telekinesis and time stop. As for the upper limit of his strength, it remains to be tested.

Unfortunately, the catch is too light, making it difficult to use.

"It may be a small matter to you, but to us it is a matter of great importance concerning the safety of the people of Mondstadt, so please allow me to express my gratitude to you on behalf of Mondstadt."

Qin spoke with utmost formality.

"Ha~ If you really want to thank me, then treat me to something to eat. I'm starving after traveling for so many days."

"Eat something?" Qin paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, it's almost dinner time."

Qin was happy to express her gratitude with just a meal, and she didn't mind continuing to treat Su Zhe to meals, since how many Mora could one meal cost?

"Lord Su Zhe is not from Mondstadt, is he?"

"Hmm, they came from afar, not worth paying attention to."

Has it come from afar again...?

Qin was secretly puzzled. Why were there so many people coming from afar lately? Just how far away were they, and how many places were they from?

"Commander Qin!!"

At that moment, a figure rushed over from a distance.

Yura approached the two of them anxiously: "Captain Qin, what's the situation?!"

As the guerrilla leader, she had been responsible for clearing out the monsters around the three major temples to create conditions for the knights to attack them.

After the main force of the Knights set off, she kept an eye out in the vicinity until she received news that a large number of monsters were attacking Mondstadt, at which point she hurriedly returned.

Seeing the corpses scattered all over the ground and the blood-soaked scene, Yura didn't say anything, but she felt very sad inside.

"It's alright now." Qin nodded to her. "Thanks to Lord Su Zhe, we were able to successfully repel these monsters."

"Su Zhe?"

Yura turned to look at Su Zhe.

For some reason, her first impression of her was somewhat familiar.

Almost instinctively, a question popped into her head: "Do you...know Kyogre?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Zhe's eyes, then he shrugged: "This beautiful lady, you are quite perceptive. That's right, Gyoka is my friend, and he asked me to come and take a look. I should have been able to come earlier, but unfortunately, I was delayed by some things along the way."

He was glad that he had only spoken in riddles to Yura and Amber before, without revealing the name of the person destined for him, or whether they were male or female.

Now that he has appeared in human form, he has a perfectly legitimate reason and no one will suspect that he is an incarnation of a demon god.

"I see."

Yura suddenly realized.

Kyogre had said that the chosen one would appear soon, and she had been wondering why he hadn't come yet. Later, when Luna arrived, something felt off, since she didn't even know who Kyogre was.

It seems that something came up that caused the delay.

Qin suddenly realized that since he was a friend of the Demon God, it was normal for him to be stronger, right?

"Um... Su Zhe, where's Kyogre?" Yura asked curiously. "Didn't he come with you?"

"That guy has something to do, and I haven't been with him all the time. I'm human, and he's a demon... cough cough, a sea monster, you know, right?"

"That's true."

Yura felt a little regretful. She really wanted to see the fathead fish, but there was nothing she could do. To such beings, humans were just insignificant passersby in their lives. If she and Amber hadn't helped them, they would probably have forgotten about them long ago.

The girl didn't think much of it and helped Qin with the post-battle cleanup, while also arranging defensive fortifications to prevent the monsters from attacking again.

The Abyss won't give up so easily. Right now, the competition between Mondstadt and them focuses on the three major temples. If things can end there as soon as possible, Mondstadt will be safe.

Of course, during this time, Jean needs to pray that Dvalin won't suddenly go crazy again, otherwise, given Mondstadt's current combat strength, it will be very difficult to defeat Dvalin.

Unless Su Zhe, a demon god friend, intervenes.

After tidying up a bit, Qin and Youla led Su Zhe into the city.

Inside the city gates, many Mondstadt residents stood at their doorsteps, cautiously emerging one by one after hearing the sounds of battle cease outside.

"Captain Qin, is it over?"

Someone asked.

"Yes, we've driven those monsters back, and they shouldn't dare come back anytime soon."

Qin addressed the crowd.

"However, just in case, please stay in the city and do not go out during this period. We have found the source of the storm and are sending people to deal with it. We believe that the impact of the storm will disappear in a few days."

"After this incident, the situation in Mondstadt should return to normal."

"Great! I've had enough of this kind of life."

"Yes, I wish I could go back to my old life."

People's faces lit up with relieved smiles.

Just then, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.

"Captain Qin, what about the Wind Demon Dragon? Has the Knights already sent men to wipe it out?"

The cheering atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

Su Zhe looked in the direction of the voice and saw a blond-haired youth walk out from the crowd. He looked at Jean and shouted, "The Knights of Favonius aren't planning to take action against Stormterror, are they? That dragon has attacked Mondstadt several times in the past few weeks. Last time, that hero was there, but she doesn't seem to be a member of the Knights of Favonius, does she?"

"Since she can deal with Stormterror, why not ask her to slay the dragon while she's still around? What good will it do to defeat these storms once that hero is gone and Stormterror is still here?"

The young man's voice immediately resonated with many others.

"Yes, it's not just about this storm anymore. With the Stormterror around, Mondstadt will never be at peace."

"That hero is still in Mondstadt, right, Lord Jean? Why don't you invite her to join you in slaying Stormterror?"

"Even if Stormterror was once one of the guardians of the four winds, so many years have passed, and even Lord Barbatos, the god of wind, has not appeared for a thousand years. Perhaps Stormterror has long forgotten its mission."

The wind god has not appeared for a thousand years. Although the people of Mondstadt still worship the wind god, they have not been bathed in divine power for so long that their sense of awe is inevitably much less than that of the people of the other seven kingdoms.

It's like everyone says that demons are incredibly powerful, but no one has ever actually seen them or knows just how powerful they are.

Furthermore, Mondl's pursuit of freedom has become distorted to some extent.

With the Wind God gone, the Mondstadt people could only pray for the simplest and most direct solution: kill Stormterror, and all their problems would be solved.

Faced with everyone's questions, Jean immediately said, "Please rest assured, everyone, we will definitely be able to resolve the Dvalin matter. Moreover, that traveler is a friend of Mondstadt, and we have no right to demand that she do such a dangerous thing."

Qin's words did not gain their approval.

"Then let the Fools go!"

"Yes! The Fools of the Winter Kingdom, don't they have diplomatic relations with us? Just a few days ago, the Fools were talking about going to defeat the Demon Dragon!"

"Yes, Commander Jean. Since they're willing, let them go ahead. Anyway, it's not our Mondstadt people who will die."

"Guardian of the Winds, we know you can't bear to kill Stormterror and are still thinking about its status as one of the Four Winds Guardians. But now Stormterror is going to kill us. If you don't kill it, it's the same as killing us!"

"I think if Grand Master Falga were here, he definitely wouldn't allow this to happen!"

"In my opinion, the head of the ensemble is still not as good as the head of the ensemble."

When the name "Grand Master Falga" was uttered, Su Zhe sensed a clear change in Qin's expression.

When the Grand Master went to war, he entrusted the Knights of Mondstadt to Jean's management. This serious and responsible girl constantly reminded herself that as the Grand Master, she should strive for the happiness of the people of Mondstadt.

Governing the country, quelling rebellions, and bringing peace to all, let the winds of freedom from Mondstadt sweep across every corner.

However, Mondstadt is now in a mess.

If Commander Falga were to return, she would have no face to face him.

But she really did try her best.

Even so, she was still questioned, and Qin couldn't help but feel a sense of grievance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I...I'm sorry..."

Qin bit her lip, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"Hey! Enough already! Leader Qin has clearly tried her best, what makes you think she's not good enough?"

Yura couldn't stand it anymore. In her heart, Qin was the most hardworking and responsible person in the entire Knights Order.

It's so unfair that someone who is hardworking, conscientious, responsible, and kind to others is being criticized!

"Ha! What right do you, a descendant of a corrupt old noble family, have to speak here? If I remember correctly, it was Commander Qin who insisted on allowing you to join the Knights despite everyone's objections, right? Of course you have to speak up for her now."

The young man suddenly shouted.

"I know! You nobles have been secretly colluding and disregarding our lives, haven't you!?"

"you!"

Yura's gaze sharpened, even though she had been telling herself to ignore these comments.

However, the other party's words directly put Qin in an unjust position.

Absolutely unforgivable!
