I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

"Watch out! Watch out!"

In Mondstadt, a messenger shouted warnings to passersby to get out of the way as he rode at breakneck speed, quickly arriving at the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.

The communications soldier dismounted and rushed into headquarters.

Inside the captain's office, Jean was reviewing documents when the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Kaeya strode in.

Jean wasn't angry at Kaiya's somewhat impolite behavior, because judging from Kaiya's furrowed brows, something was clearly wrong.

Qin asked, "What's wrong?"

Kaeya said in a serious tone, "The soldiers who went to Liyue to investigate have returned, and the situation is not good."

Qin raised an eyebrow: "What exactly happened?"

Kaeya said, "All the demon gods of Liyue have broken their seals and appeared in the world."

"what?"

Qin's face showed shock.

Kaeya continued, "The soldiers stationed at the border also rescued some people who fled from Liyue. According to these refugees, there are now demons everywhere in Liyue. Now, almost everyone has retreated to Liyue Harbor, and the demons are also heading towards Liyue Harbor."

Qin's heart tightened: "Oh no, Mr. Ivan is still in Liyue Harbor, we have to go find Captain Xu quickly!"

After saying that, Qin hurriedly left the room.

Kaiya shrugged helplessly and hurriedly followed.

Today, the Chinese fleet has established a port on the coast of Windsor Cape in Mondstadt. In addition to providing supplies and transshipment for ships of all sizes entering and leaving Mondstadt, it is also used as a temporary port of call for the Chinese fleet. All trade goods between China and Mondstadt are transported through this port, which is now very busy.

Jean and Kaeya quickly arrived at Cape Lookout and boarded the Jingu aircraft carrier. Guided by the Jingu ship's soldiers, Jean and Kaeya arrived at the captain's cabin, but Jean was stunned as soon as she entered the room.

"Mr. Ivan?"

Ivan, who was talking to Xu Donghai, was also somewhat surprised: "Jin? Kaia? What brings you here?"

Qin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We received news that something huge has happened in Liyue, and we were worried about your safety, so we came to discuss countermeasures with Captain Xu... How did you get back?"

Ivan said helplessly, "That's a long story..."

Ivan gave a brief account of what had happened in Liyue recently, which caused the expressions of the people around him to change drastically.

"What? The Vortex Demon God has also broken through the seal?"

Seeing Qin's surprised expression, Ivan asked in surprise, "Qin, you also know about the Vortex Demon God?"

Jean nodded: "Regarding the Vortex Demon God Oser, there are records in Mondstadt's history. The Vortex Demon God is a demon god born from the ocean, and one of the most powerful demon gods during the Demon God War. It appeared in Mondstadt a long time ago, but left because it disliked the cold winds of the ancient Mondstadt region. I didn't expect that even the Vortex Demon God would reappear. In addition, the Geo Archon of Liyue has passed away, and all the demon gods have broken their seals. Liyue is facing a great calamity this time."

Ivan said in a deep voice, "This is not only a calamity for Liyue, but also for the entire Teyvat, and even for our China. All these demon gods have been affected by the aura of destruction. If we allow the demon gods to conquer the entire territory of Liyue, then these demon gods will probably use Liyue as a springboard to plot against the entire Teyvat, and even our Chinese world."

Everyone nodded, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

Ivan continued, "Currently, all available manpower in Liyue, including refugees, has been temporarily evacuated to Liyue Harbor. However, the Demon God is currently rampant in Liyue, and the supply line to Liyue Harbor has been cut off. All the resources in Liyue Harbor combined will not last long, and we must rush to its aid immediately."

Xu Donghai nodded.

"All Chinese soldiers are ready to be deployed at any time."

Chapter 132 Tianheng Mountain Defense Line

The 29th day of the Xth month of the Xth year in the Teyvat calendar.

On the western defense line of Liyue Harbor, in the Tianheng Mountains, Thousand Rock Army soldier Xiao Li had just entered the army camp and seemed a little nervous.

This was his second day after enlisting. His home was in Liyue Harbor, and now that Liyue Harbor was in crisis, he felt it was necessary for him to stand up. So he joined the Thousand Rock Army without telling his family and applied to go to the front lines to fight.

The reality of military life was quite different from what he had imagined, and the tense atmosphere that permeated the military camp made him increasingly nervous.

Just as Xiao Li was stunned, a hand suddenly reached out from behind him and patted his shoulder, which startled Xiao Li.

Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man in military uniform, who was looking at him with a smile.

"Hey kid, you're a new recruit?"

Xiao Li nodded, stammering, "Yes, I joined the army yesterday... yesterday."

The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow and asked, "Yesterday? Kid, how old are you this year?"

"Ten...sixteen..."

"Sixteen? Do your family know you're joining the army?"

"Know......"

Xiao Li told a lie.

The middle-aged man stared into Xiao Li's eyes for a few seconds, then asked with a smile, "Kid, what's your name?"

"My name is Li Jun."

"Hmm, he is quite handsome. Xiao Li, why do you want to join the army?"

"Defend our homeland!"

"Ambitious."

The middle-aged man nodded, then turned and left.

Watching the man's departing figure, Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, facing the man's gaze, Xiao Li felt as if he were being stared at by some ferocious wild beast, his whole body tense up. This veteran must have experienced a lot.

Xiao Li made up his mind to become strong as soon as possible.

On the other side, looking at Xiao Li, who seemed less tense in the distance, the middle-aged man said to the soldier beside him, "Arrange a logistics job for this kid. He probably ran away from home to join the army without telling his family. With such a disaster, we can't let Liyue's future be sacrificed on the front lines in vain."

The soldier replied respectfully, "Yes, Commander!"

After arranging all this, Qi Huo, the commander of the Ninth Army of the Qianyan Army, lifted the curtain of the main tent.

At this moment, the commanders-in-chief of the various units of the Ninth Army had gathered in the military tent, totaling more than ten people.

The Thousand Rock Army's military organization differs greatly from that of the Knights of Mondstadt. The Thousand Rock Army has a total of over 100,000 men, divided into ten armies from the first to the tenth, and each army is further divided into units of 1,000 men each, with varying numbers of units within each army.

The Ninth Army, led by Qi Huo, is the elite force of the Qianyan Army and is also the main fighting force guarding the front line of the Tianheng Mountains.

Upon seeing Qi Huo enter, the commanders of each unit stood up.

"Commander."

Qi Huo waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down, and then got straight to the point: "How is the establishment of the defense lines in each unit progressing?"

A commander stood up again and said, "The establishment of defense lines at all levels is progressing smoothly, and there have been no unexpected incidents."

Qi Huo nodded: "What's the situation outside the defensive line? Any new developments?"

At this moment, another commander stood up: "After attacking the western defense line last night and being forced back by the Great Sage of Demon Subduing, we have been staying outside the defense line's vigilance range without making any moves. However, the reconnaissance troops outside reported that a demon god is heading towards Liyue Harbor from the northwest. If it moves quickly, it may arrive today."

Qi Huo frowned and said, "At least eight Demon Gods have been detected heading towards Liyue Harbor, and there are likely more. This is not a good sign..."

No sooner had Qi Huo finished speaking than a violent explosion suddenly erupted outside the military tent, followed by shouts of battle. The army was thrown into chaos instantly, and then a soldier rushed into the tent.

"Urgent report! A demon god is attacking the defensive line!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Huo immediately rushed out of the main tent and headed straight for the front line.

At this moment, the shouts of battle cries from the front lines were deafening.

Not far from the position constructed by the Qianyan Army using terrain, a huge three-headed wolfhound was rapidly moving through the forest. The Qianyan Army's dozens of cannons fired round after round of shells, but the three-headed wolfhound was so fast that not a single shell could hit it. As it got closer and closer to the defensive line, the effectiveness of the cannons became increasingly limited, and the soldiers on the defensive line had to put on heavy armor, take long spears, and personally rush up to intercept it.

When Qi Huo arrived at the front line, he raised an eyebrow upon seeing the three-headed wolfhound: "Rock Shattering Demon God, Endo."

As if hearing someone calling its name, the three-headed wolfhound raised its three ferocious heads, looked in the direction of the flagfire, and let out a terrifying roar.

During the Great War of the Demon Gods, there were many demon gods on the continent of Teyvat, and their strength varied. Not all demon gods were as powerful as the Vortex Demon God. Endor, the Rock Shattering Demon God, was among the weakest of the demon gods. Even two or three Eye of God holders could fight Endor to a standstill.

Of course, what's most terrifying about Endor isn't its strength, but its vitality.

Endo was inherently greedy and wicked, feeding on weak creatures and living a solitary life. He was killed by the Emperor several times in the past. However, Endo's regenerative ability was extremely strong. Even if the Emperor cut off all his heads, he could quickly regrow them. This tenacious vitality also gave the Emperor a lot of headaches. In the end, the Emperor sealed him on Shimen Mountain.

At this moment, the Rock Shattering Demon Endor was locked in a fierce battle with dozens of heavily armored and well-trained Thousand Rock Army warriors. Relying on their numerical advantage, the Thousand Rock Army warriors would occasionally leave tearing wounds on Endor's body with their spears. However, this was of little use, as Endor's extremely abnormal regenerative ability allowed his wounds to heal completely in a very short time. Thus, the two sides were locked in a protracted war of attrition.

Qi Huo saw all of this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

For close-quarters combat, the effect of one hundred people is the same as that of one thousand people, because the number of people you can attack the enemy from the front line is always the same. Having more people doesn't make much difference. Moreover, since our own people are currently engaged in combat with Endo, if the Thousand Rock Army fires the Divine Machine Cannon, it will accidentally injure their own teammates.

Qi Huo narrowed his eyes, took off his coat, revealing the fire-attribute divine eye on the necklace on his chest.

However, just as Qi Huo received the spear handed to him by a soldier and was about to rush forward to provide support, a shrill scream suddenly came from the sky.

Qi Huo subconsciously looked up, and then his pupils suddenly contracted.

Suddenly, a giant skeletal bird, its body decaying and exuding an aura of death, appeared high in the sky and flew rapidly toward the front line of defense.

However, this is not the end.

The ground began to tremble violently, and with a loud bang, a worm-like demon god tens of meters long emerged from the ground not far from the defensive line, followed by several other demon gods of different shapes.

The demons launched a massive attack.

Chapter 133 The Great War Has Begun

"First column, head north! Speed ​​up!"

"Where are the grain wagons? Hurry!"

"Supplies? Load them all onto the trucks!"

"Hurry! The front lines need reinforcements!"

On the streets of Liyue Harbor, the sounds of horses' hooves and the shouts of Thousand Rock soldiers mingled together. There were no pedestrians on the streets. On the Tianheng Mountain defense line not far away, the shouts of battle and the sounds of artillery fire could be clearly heard in Liyue Harbor, which made the atmosphere in Liyue Harbor suddenly become extremely tense.

At the Tianheng Mountain front line, Ningguang sat in the central command tent with a solemn expression. Outside, the sound of artillery fire filled the air, and battle reports kept arriving, almost none of them bringing good news.

"Report! The westernmost defensive line has fallen!"

"Report! The thirteenth demon god has appeared on the northern defensive line!"

"Report! The machine gun ammunition is running low, and a gap has appeared in the defense line on the mountain road!"

Ningguang stood up, drawing the attention of everyone else in the tent. Although Ningguang's expression was not good, she did not seem nervous.

A general must remain calm and composed in times of crisis; otherwise, what will happen to the soldiers if you panic?

"Pass on my order: the western defense line will be covered by the Sixth Army, and retreat one mile to build a new defense line."
