Although he did not approve of some of Nashida's practices which he considered to be extreme, he still expressed his appreciation for her in many other aspects.

At least he no longer had any doubts about what would happen in Xumi in the future, including the series of revolutionary policies implemented by Nashida.

Just think of this as an attempt by the God of Wisdom for the future development of human society in Teyvat.

After all, he is the god of wisdom, so what if he has some different ideas?

In addition, he will use his own authority to temporarily suppress all criticisms of Xumi from Liyue for Nashida, so that Liyue will not interfere in Xumi's transformation.

In general, this meeting between the two rulers will inevitably leave a heavy mark in the future history of Teyvat.

Chapter 74: Wangshengtang's Important Customer

After discussing the main business, Nashida and Zhongli gradually relaxed their expressions and began to chat casually.

"Mr. Zhongli, can you give me a brief introduction to Liyue? I have been in Xumi since I was born, and I am very curious about the people and things in Liyue."

Nashida asked Zhongli with a smile, and her tone became much more relaxed.

If we say that they were conversing as the God of Grass and the God of Rock just now.

So at this moment they are a pair of newly formed friends regardless of age difference, sharing some interesting things around them with each other.

That’s right, in Zhongli’s opinion, Nashida is undoubtedly still just a child, and their friendship can be called friendship regardless of age, and there is nothing wrong with that.

"It's impossible."

Picking up the teapot on the table, Zhongli first poured a cup of tea for himself and Nashida, and then began his narration.

"At that time in Liyue, there was a sea..."

Zhongli spoke at a leisurely pace, and the story was a bit long, but Nashida did not find it boring at all.

As she had only seen Liyue in the game, she was very curious about what the real Liyue was like.

Just like that, under the gaze of Nashida's expectant eyes, Zhongli told her a little about the history of ancient Liyue and the mountains, rivers and culture of Liyue today.

"I really hope that I will have the opportunity to visit Liyue in the future."

Nashida expressed such emotion about Liyue mentioned by Zhongli.

Whether it was a talking crane, a unicorn transformed into a human form, or a building soaring in the sky, she wanted to see it with her own eyes.

"Haha, my friend, you are too kind. Xumi also has many beautiful sights that Liyue doesn't have."

After taking another sip of tea, Zhongli's speaking speed seemed to always be so slow, giving people a rare sense of security.

However, after saying this, Zhongli seemed to have hesitated for a long time before asking Nashida a question.

"However, since I came to this land vein space, a question has always lingered in my mind. I wonder if you can answer it for me."

Since it concerns Nashida's personal privacy, Zhongli has always been very cautious about this, but this matter is still too bizarre, and even he feels extremely curious about it.

"Why do I feel the power of the element of rock in addition to the power of the grass element in you, my friend?"

At first, he thought it was the interference of the earth vein space that caused his perception to be biased.

But after such a long conversation, he finally confirmed that Nashida did possess the power of the rock element.

"Even in terms of aura, the strength of this rock elemental divine power is far stronger than that of the grass elemental divine power. This really makes me feel a little puzzled."

Even Zhongli, who was knowledgeable, was still a little confused by this.

This is not right, aren't you the God of Grass? Why are you taking my job as the God of Rock?

Seeing Zhongli's face, which had been calm for thousands of years, actually revealed a hint of doubt, Nashida looked a little embarrassed and quickly felt her own breath.

It wouldn't matter if she didn't feel it, because once she felt it, she found that she seemed to be a little incompetent as the grass god.

'Oh no, before it was "the sky is shaking" and "as solid as a rock", it seems like we went a bit too far.'

It seemed that the amount of rock elemental divine power converted at once was a bit too much, and even the grass elemental aura was almost gone.

Awkwardly, he retracted the aura of the rock element, and after a short while of effort, the grass element finally began to gain the upper hand.

Of course, an explanation was still needed. It was not a big deal anyway. After doing all this, Nashida explained to Zhongli the whole story.

She informed Zhongli of everything, including the residual consciousness of the Red King that she had encountered in the Holy Manifestation Hall, and the big commotion that occurred in Huan Nalan afterwards.

But she didn't mention the name of her pirated Zhongli's moves...

"I see. I was curious about this to begin with. Now that you have spoken, I will not interfere."

After understanding the whole cause and effect, Zhongli nodded, and his originally worried heart was relieved.

He thought that the child had encountered some unspeakable existence and ended up like this.

It now seems that the evil spirits encountered by Xumi are generally under control. At least they have not eroded Nashida like the Great Compassion Tree King did in the past.

"Thank you for your hard work in suppressing the evil spirits in the earth veins over the years."

Hearing Zhongli say this again, Nashida felt a little confused.

But seeing the other person's inexplicably kind eyes, she wisely chose to remain silent.

Although I don’t know what weird things Zhongli has imagined, but overall, the result is good.

"I am ashamed to say that as a senior, I don't have anything to help you, but since you have already mastered the authority of the rock, I will transfer some of my divine power to you."

After saying that, Zhongli stood up and walked to Nashida. After Nashida also stood up, he gently held her little hand.

"Don't resist, it will be fine soon."

Later, the divine power of the rock element was input into Nashida's body through the point where the two were connected.

Feeling the gentle power in her body, while feeling relaxed both physically and mentally, Nashida hurriedly concealed some of her special features.

But Zhongli must not be allowed to find out that she can devour forbidden knowledge, otherwise it will be a big trouble.

However, how could this little trick be hidden from the battle-hardened Rock King? Zhongli just smiled slightly.

Thinking of a certain chestnut-haired figure, he did not explore the places that Nashida had concealed.

After all, isn’t it normal for the younger generation to have some little secrets of their own?

After a while, Zhongli finally stopped transferring his power when he noticed that Nashida's face had turned red.

This time, Nashida was filled to the brim with paowa. She couldn't hold any more. She really couldn't hold any more.

"I was not thoughtful enough to come to Xumi this time, but now that all the problems have been sorted out, I will take my leave now."

Noticing that Nashida had absorbed all the divine power he had sent to her, Zhongli nodded with satisfaction and immediately prepared to leave this small earth vein space.

"Mr. Zhongli, please wait a moment."

But Nashida spoke out to stop Zhongli's action, and when Zhongli turned around, she showed a somewhat malicious smile.

"I heard that Wangshengtang is the largest funeral agency in Liyue. I wonder if Wangshengtang accepts foreign orders?"

Nashida said this in a tone she had never used before, which made Zhongli feel a little confused.

"I think I'll accept this."

Even though there was no precedent, Zhongli still gave Nashida a positive answer.

Sometimes he really couldn't cope with the unconventional ideas of these younger generations.

"Well, then I'll ask Mr. Zhongli to reserve a large order at the Wangsheng Hall in the name of the God of Grass. I expect it may be useful in the future Xumi."

Chapter 75: General Attack on Aru Village

"fire!"

Following the commander's order, the neatly arranged cannons roared towards the target ahead.

Then one bullet after another flew out from the muzzle, bringing warmth to the city wall not far away.

Under the fierce artillery bombardment, several gaps were soon blasted in the double-layer city wall outside Aru Village.

At this moment, just like at that time, whether it is the Blue Star in 1453 or the current Teyvat, the indestructible city walls are ultimately no match for the wheel of the times.

It can only be said that artillery is worthy of being the god of war. The superiority of the theory of superior firepower over human wave assault is fully demonstrated at this moment.

Although it is somewhat embarrassing that most of these cannons were archaeologically discovered from the remains of the Red King, and were not produced in today's Xumi.

But as the saying goes, scientific and technological development depends on archaeology, the desert has been a sacred and inseparable part of Mount Sumeru since ancient times.

So, rounding off, these artillery pieces are also a reflection of our powerful technology. (Mist)

In short, it doesn't matter where a hero comes from. With the help of these great treasures, it is undoubtedly much easier for the Renaissance Army to attack Aru Village.

At least there is no need to climb ladders and capture city gates like before. All you have to do is wait for more gaps in the city wall before launching an attack.

"Comrades, the city wall has been destroyed by our artillery. Now is the time for us to fight for the people. Charge with me!"

At this time, in front of the Renaissance Army, countless Renaissance Alliance cadres were mobilizing the soldiers.

Their method of mobilization is very simple, that is, as the political commissar of the alliance in the Renaissance Army, they take the lead in the charge!

"For the liberation of the people of Xumi! Kill!"

Accompanied by shouts of killing that filled the mountains, countless soldiers of the Fusion Army rushed out from pre-built bunkers and launched a general attack on Aru Village.

Seeing this, the tribal alliance, which had been bombarded by artillery fire and was at a loss as to where to go, finally gathered some courage and organized a resistance.

"Hurry, don't let them rush over, shoot my arrows."

Arrows suddenly rained down on the battlefield. Even though the defenders were suppressed by artillery fire, they could still hide behind the city walls and shoot arrows forward.

"Raise your shields and speed up your pace. As long as we rush to the city wall, they won't be able to shoot arrows at us."

The soldiers of the Restoration Army raised their pre-prepared shields, and the energy constructs that charged with them also deployed their own shields.

But under the attack of countless arrows falling from the sky, casualties were inevitable, and soldiers continued to fall.

However, even in the face of a rain of arrows and hearing the sounds of their comrades falling beside them, none of the soldiers retreated. Instead, they quickened their pace and rushed forward.

After such a long period of confrontation, each of them held their breath. Now was the time for them to show their skills. How could they give up halfway?

Finally, after this not-too-long journey, the soldiers of the Renaissance Army arrived at the gaps in the city walls that had been collapsed by artillery fire.

"Everyone maintain the formation. The energy constructs will lead the breakthrough, the spearmen will finish off the enemy, and the giant swordsmen will follow and charge into the enemy formation!"

Even though the enemy was right before their eyes, all the soldiers of the Renaissance Army still maintained their formation and, under the cover of the energy constructs, launched an attack on the city's defending forces.

As the siege troops rushed into the large gaps, the cannons in the rear raised their muzzles, extending their bombardment targets behind the city walls.

In this way, it is possible to continue to exert pressure on the defenders while ensuring that friendly forces are not accidentally injured.

At the same time, while the Renaissance Army and the Tribal Alliance were fighting at the city wall, some small changes took place inside Aru Village.

"Fellow villagers of Aru Village, our troops have already launched a general attack on the tribal alliance outside the city walls. It is time for us to rise up and respond to them."

Candice was currently standing next to the temple in the center of Aru Village, giving a brief mobilization speech to the gathered warriors.

After reaching an uprising agreement with the Restoration Army, Candice secretly gathered the former residents of Aru Village and announced the decision to revolt and the conditions given by the Restoration Army.

As expected, after learning that they could eliminate the tribal alliance and that there were preferential conditions, almost all the original residents of Aru Village agreed with Candice's idea.

Because they have suffered a lot from the tribal alliance over the years, and the news of the Renaissance Army annihilating the Church's expeditionary army has already come. With the overall situation already decided, they certainly have no objection to this.

"In the past, the tribal alliance invaded our homes, occupied the land that belonged to us, and restricted us to this small piece of land."

After saying that, Candice picked up the envoy from the tribal alliance who was kneeling on the ground.

He was sent by the tribal alliance to try to seize the power of the Red King, but he has been discovered by Candice and captured here.

After throwing the messenger into the crowd and watching him being hacked to death by everyone, Candice breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the people from the Renaissance Army standing aside.

After killing the envoy of the tribal alliance, it officially showed that they had broken with the tribal alliance. In other words, they submitted a letter of allegiance to the Renaissance Army.

"It's time to make them pay for this. Join me as we charge toward the city wall and capture the leaders of the major tribes alive!"

Then the Eye of God lit up, and Candice walked to the front of the team and charged towards the city wall.

As the city walls were constantly being breached, the Tribal Alliance had sent almost all of its troops to the front lines in an attempt to stop the offensive of the Renaissance Army.
