In this unpredictable Teyvat, many things are heading towards the worst direction.
The magic arts and celestial powers given by the Geo King Emperor have become the foundation of the great families of Liyue. Rather than passively accepting government orders, the Emperor should be more eager to see the people of Liyue actively improve themselves.
However, the failures one after another before him finally made him decide to let Liyue be reborn in the war.
The country called "Contract" is full of unscrupulous businessmen who are thinking about how to circumvent the contract and escape the punishment of the law.
Merchants generally value profit over morality. What does it have to do with them how the lower class people live? When they go out, someone will carry them in a sedan chair or take a horse-drawn carriage. If they want to go anywhere to travel, someone will arrange everything for them.
When they have the Rock King as their backbone watching over them, they will naturally have some concerns and keep to a certain degree of compliance. Once they lose their backbone and external forces come in forcefully, these people will kneel faster than anyone else.
The bottom line is that Liyue's basic combat power is too weak, leaving no hope of victory. The Kingdom of Winter came over with a flying battleship, but Liyue's Thousand Rock Army was still using ancient bows and arrows and couldn't even touch the hull of the flying battleship.
Without complete industrial assistance, it took a year to produce more than ten new versions of the final machine. How much effect can it have in front of the flying battleships and elemental guns that can be mass-produced?
The Dragon King and the two demon gods were all contaminated by the abyss. Who dared to release these uncontrollable and destructive beings again? When the Rock King, the biggest backer, was restrained by someone, the civil war in Liyue was already destined to begin.
Lin Zixuan flew all the way north and came to the vicinity of Wuwangpo. He looked at the situation below and thought that this place should be renamed Wuwangpo Front.
The place that was originally a ruin was rebuilt and filled with various fortifications, and many strange weapons were deployed on the fortifications. Not only were there a large number of Qianyan soldiers patrolling here, but there were also many Qianyan soldiers teaching newcomers how to use mechanical birds to fight.
The spirit and energy of the Thousand Rocks Army here is much better than those unknown armies in Liyue Harbor. They should be the spark of Liyue's rebirth that the Rock King is looking forward to, right?
Lin Zixuan hid his body and walked into the large tent that was protected in the center.
"Ah~~~~" a heart-wrenching voice came from the man.
"Give me the towel and don't stop!"
As soon as Lin Zixuan walked in, he saw Shang Hua picking up a towel and stuffing it into his mouth. Behind him... a Qianyan Army soldier was peeling his back...!
After a while, a bloody back skin was peeled off.
"Hurry, apply medicine to him!" the majestic blue-haired woman in the lead said hurriedly.
At this time, Shang Hua had already fainted from the pain.
The Qianyan soldier in charge of skinning gently cut the back skin in his hand again, and the layer with blood and flesh was removed. Another soldier took the back skin and performed magic.
The words and drawings gradually appeared on the back leather.
"Design drawing of experimental field force generating device"
《Detailed steps for making elemental gun ammunition》
Lin Zixuan was stunned for a moment, an unpleasant look appeared on his face, and he recalled the past of Blue Star.
This was the Immortal Technique of Development and Transformation. It was not done on paper, but on his back. In order to avoid being discovered, it could not be directly applied to the epidermis, but was applied under the skin.
Even if the person died, as long as the body could be recovered, these valuable materials could be brought back. In order to obtain these two pieces of information, a high price must have been paid. This approach is no different from those of the ancestors on Blue Star who served the country and the people.
Everyone in the tent had a look of joy on their faces.
"Finally...finally got it. Make two copies immediately and send one back to Chen Yugu for research! Not a single punctuation mark is allowed to be copied incorrectly!" The blue-haired woman spoke, and everyone in the tent immediately took action.
The two Qianyan soldiers hurriedly copied it down, and the people next to them helped check it, fearing that there was a mistake in writing a punctuation mark.
At this moment, a familiar figure rushed in quickly.
"Xiangling, what's the situation? Is Shang Hua not being chased by anyone?"
"Sister He, Shang Hua has brought the information back. I have arranged for the best medicine and doctors. I don't know how long it will take for Chen Yugu to fully understand the information.
Forget it, let's not talk about this. Are you okay over there? I heard from Shang Hua that he met a very strange middle-aged merchant. He used a magic weapon to detect his combat power and actually gave an unprecedented combat power value. "
"Yeah, I'm fine. That middle-aged merchant was very powerful. I managed to escape successfully, and then I moved to a few places. When I saw that he didn't catch up with me, I came back here."
"Didn't you catch up? Actually, I'm still a little worried. Another purpose of Shang Hua's action this time is to investigate the combat power of those in Liyue Harbor. There are not many 'combination' level masters with combat power exceeding 3,000, and there are only three with combat power exceeding 10,000.
But the person Shang Hua accidentally discovered...his combat power is..."
"How much is it? The combat power of an ordinary immortal is around 5. Is it higher than your master's 97?"
"The magic weapon that detects combat power gave an unimaginable value... 56 billion."
"Billion? Are you sure?" Shen He's calm face also showed a look of surprise.
"Shang Hua also thought it was a mistake at first. The second detection gave a result of 58 billion, and then he was discovered by that person and began to escape."
"It seems that I must report this matter to Master. That person even called me Senior Sister. When did my Master accept a Junior Brother who is older than me? With such combat power... he can easily solve Liyue's problems, right?"
"This magic weapon for detecting combat power detects the total amount of elemental force, and determines the opponent's combat power based on the total amount of elemental force. Maybe it's just that the total amount of elemental force is large, and the actual combat power is not strong. Judging from the fact that he didn't catch up with you, maybe this magic weapon made a mistake?"
"Maybe. This is not the first or second time that the magic weapon made by the master is not very reliable." Shen He nodded, and finally concluded that there was something wrong with the magic weapon.
"By the way, what's the situation in Shijia Village in Lishajiao? What do they say?"
"They have all surrendered to us. The Eighth Executioner's subordinate, Bai Wen, has collected taxes there by the 150th year of the Zhengji calendar. Almost everyone in the village has become a beggar. Several villagers who reported me were killed by her. They searched the entire village, but didn't find me. They killed a few old people and left.
'Bai Shi' and 'Bai Xiao' did almost the same thing, taking away all the assets in the village and collecting taxes for a hundred years. The people were miserable, and even if they jumped out to report me and wanted to join the Fatui, they would find a reason to kill them.
The subordinates of Executor Lady Ningguang treat the people of Liyue more cruelly than any other Executor. It can even be said that they are forcing them to death. If you resist the Fatui, you will die! If you want to join the Fatui, you will also die!
We had many opportunities to kill them, but Tianshu Star Ye Lan said we couldn't do anything to them. Such a vicious woman, from Liyue's former Tianquan Star, I never thought she would do such a rebellious thing. "
"Be careful with your words. Lord Ye Lan said that the Eighth Executioner, Madam Ningguang, must stay alive. She cannot die before the civil war is over." Xiangling shook her head.
"Friendship is friendship, but if she lives one day, the people of Liyue will suffer one day, not to mention that many people will die under her butcher knife."
"I'll write another letter and ask Lord Ye Lan." Xiangling sighed and felt depressed. Back then, Ningguang praised her cooking for being delicious, but she never expected that it would turn into a war like this.
Lin Zixuan didn't expect to hear the news about Ningguang here. Collecting taxes for a hundred years? Pushing people to a dead end, even the three lazy secretaries did the same thing as her. Was she planning to be infamous for eternity?
Hmm? No! She was helping Liyue in another way. She actually chose such a path of no return that would be infamous for thousands of years. This is really her style.
They cleaned up all the assets of the people of Liyue, and became violent and bloodthirsty in the eyes of the people. The people of Liyue wanted to be dogs of the Fatui, but they couldn't do it. In the end, the people of Liyue who had nothing left could only choose the path of "resistance".
The tacit understanding between them allowed Ye Lan to quickly understand Ning Guang's idea. Only by working together inside and outside could they find a breakthrough. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person like Shang Hua go deep into the most strictly guarded area to explore combat power intelligence and obtain such valuable information?
"Report!" A Qianyan soldier rushed in and interrupted Lin Zixuan's thoughts.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Xiangling said.
"The Knights of Favonius have sent a request for help. The Snow Mountain Stronghold has been besieged by the Knights of Judgment. They hope we can lend a helping hand."
"Haven't they retreated to the snowy mountains, a place that's easy to defend but difficult to attack? How come they're surrounded?"
"I heard that the Knights of Judgment took a red pill and became extremely powerful. They were emitting high temperatures and were not afraid of the cold. They were divided into ten large groups and forced to climb the mountain. The defensive fortifications prepared by the Knights of Favonius did not play a big role.
The Knights of Favonius also triggered an avalanche. At first, they thought that they could bury the Judgement Knights, but they managed to crawl out of the snow. The gap in equipment and combat power put the Knights of Favonius at a complete disadvantage. "
"Damn it! It's nearly 400 kilometers from here to the snow mountain. We can only arrange 30 fairy talisman mechanical birds to go to the rescue.
There are ten large armies of the Knights of Judgment, and maybe that false Wind God will also be dispatched, and if we are not careful, our combat power may be destroyed.
But we have to rescue them. Without the help of the Knights of Favonius, a large number of the Knights of Judgment will gather at the Stone Gate. If the south and the east attack here together, it will be a big trouble." Xiangling looked back at the map hanging on the wall, revealing an embarrassment.
Ten breaths later...
"Rescue! We must rescue! I will go there myself. It is most likely a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain. You guys guard the Wuwangpo front line well! Don't let those traitors in the south find any opportunity." Xiangling ran out in a hurry.
"Yes!"*N
Lin Zixuan walked out of the tent and saw Xiangling and 30 team members riding on the fairy mechanical bird and flying towards the snow-capped mountains in the east.
Shen He felt a little uneasy as he watched Xiangling leave.
"Don't worry! Senior Sister, I'm with you this time, I guarantee everything will be fine." Lin Zixuan stood beside her and smiled, revealing his white teeth, and gave a thumbs up.
What responded to Lin Zixuan was Shen He's spear and a slightly frightened expression.
"Enemy attack!!!" As soon as Shen He's voice fell, Lin Zixuan was instantly surrounded by the Qianyan Legion.
"Well, they are well-trained and good men. But... there are always betrayers. Let's give them some gifts when we meet this time!"
Lin Zixuan snapped his fingers, and 11 people in the camp exploded. He then condensed a piece of paper covered with words, and with a light wave, it floated in front of Shen He.
"Okay, I'm leaving first. You guys take your time to investigate!" Lin Zixuan gradually disappeared like a phantom.
Shen He took the remaining paper, glanced at it roughly, and his expression gradually became ugly.
"Check their belongings and bags for me!"
Chapter 430: The Rebels on Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain
Longji Snow Mountain.
The sound of gunfire continued to be heard, and stiff bodies were lying everywhere, extending from the bottom of the mountain to the top. The blood spilled on the white snow was particularly glaring.
Inside the luxurious tent at the foot of the mountain, an overfat cardinal was having a tantrum.
"They are all garbage! Why haven't they been taken down yet?"
"Your Excellency the Bishop, the rebels have occupied the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain for more than ten years. This is their old nest. The terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. We have suffered heavy casualties so far, but we have achieved fruitful results. The Knights of Inquisition have already captured several important strongholds." The captain of the Knights of Inquisition explained.
"Bring my new flying battleship over here! Blow it up hard!"
"Your Excellency the Bishop...If you want to use aircraft and warships, you must obtain approval from the Kingdom of Winter before you can take off. Without the password, we cannot start them."
"Then apply quickly!!! If you can't beat him, you'll all have to go to the Colosseum! Cough... cough... bring me my 'Special Lexi'!" The protagonist in red coughed a few times, and his drug addiction symptoms flared up. He quickly asked someone to bring him 'supplements'.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
After the injection of the 'tonic', the cardinal's eyes were dull, and he kept shouting: Beauty, let's see how you can run away now! Hehe...
The leader of the Judgment Knights looked at the cardinal with disdain and consciously retreated outside the tent. He looked at the towering Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain and the numb soldiers around him.
The chivalry of the Knights of Favonius has long been abandoned, and now the Knights of Inquisition only need to serve the church and the nobility. How many things have they done that violate the chivalry? I can't even count them, right?
I want to join the rebels... but what about my wife and children? No place in Mondstadt is safe. Barbatos, the god of wind, could appear at any time, and there is a civil war in Liyue next door.
Joining the Knights of Inquisition would allow the family to live a good life in the joyful and free Mondstadt, rather than living in the slums outside the city, or enduring the cold weather in the snowy mountains.
Everything...is already irreversible.
The leader of the Judgment Knights shook his head in self-mockery, walked to the message office, wrote out the application document for the key to the flying battleship, and asked someone to rush back to submit it to the embassy of the Kingdom of Winter for approval.
A stronghold in the belly of the snow-capped mountains.
This stronghold is not as cold as the outside world, but rather like a place with permanent spring breeze. Green vegetation is spread all around, and the wooden houses and farmlands are arranged in an orderly manner.
In the largest wooden house, a tall blonde beauty frowned as she stared at the sand table in front of her, with red and blue chess pieces inserted on it. The red side was the attacker, and the blue side was the defender. There were more red than blue, and the battle situation was not very optimistic.
"Barbara, everything has been packed up. It's time for us to move to Site No. 2." Lisa walked in. Although she was middle-aged, her appearance had not changed much. Instead, she looked more mature.
"Yes, I'll be right there. How's Rosalia doing?"
"The battle has already begun. Someone has revealed our retreat route. The church has arranged a team of the Knights of Inquisition to block us from behind. Fortunately, they discovered it early, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Let's go quickly. The situation is too unfavorable for us. Nearly one-third of the Knights of Judgment have been dispatched, vowing to annihilate us all." Lisa put the sand table in front of Barbara into the small cloth bag for storing magic weapons. This magic weapon was a treasure given by the other party when they established an alliance with the Liyue rebels.
"What are the casualties outside now?"
"Don't worry! We didn't fight them head-on, so the casualties are not that bad." Lisa paused, without looking at Barbara, but put all the daily necessities in the house into the storage magic weapon.
"Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind, please bless our soldiers!" Barbara prayed.
"I can't give it to you. I can't give it to you. You know my current situation. It's useless to beg me." The pendant on Barbara's chest floated up. The pendant was inlaid with a green crystal. The voice came from the pendant.
This pendant was found by Captain Jean when she led the remaining Knights of Favonius to the newly emerged Storm Death Zone at Cape Lookout... the real wind god Barbatos.
As for how "He" became like this, we can probably restore the situation through indirect clues over the years. To sum it up in a few words: drinking and misjudging the battle strength.
The palm-sized original form of the wind god Barbatos floated out of the pendant and shook his head at Barbara.
Barbara grabbed Barbatos and shook him. "Stand up! Master Barbatos."
"With my current strength, I can only build you a shelter that is not affected by the cold. Sigh... time flies. Back then, your Gunnhild family also relied on this small shelter of mine to survive in the ice and snow."
"Okay, okay, let's evacuate Point No. 2 quickly. It's no longer safe here." Lisa urged.
Barbara and the others walked out of the room and saw men, women, old and young carrying large and small bags and heading towards the deeper No. 2 stronghold. In recent years, the Snow Mountain has taken in too many homeless people, and the total number has already exceeded , but the supplies inside the Snow Mountain are not enough to support the expenses of so many people.
Robbing the rich and giving to the poor... has become the norm. Robbing the rich... will not only cause these nobles to deploy more troops, but also make the nobles further exploit the ordinary people of Mondstadt in order to make up for their losses, which will eventually lead to the corruption of the rebels' reputation, almost a vicious circle.
"Alas! The shelter that we built with so much effort...has to be abandoned." Barbara said uncomfortably.
"It has to be abandoned, and we have to recover the power of Barbatos and turn this place into a land of ice and snow. Otherwise, this base will be occupied by those people and used as a transit station, and Base No. 2 will become dangerous.
Come on! Get back to normal quickly. You are our backbone. Don't let others see you looking depressed." Lisa comforted Barbara.
"I understand. Let the wind guide us. I...Jin Gunhild will lead everyone out of this predicament!" said the woman whose voice and appearance were exactly the same as Captain Jin.
Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain Front.
"Mika! Aren't you done yet? I don't have enough here!" the burly white-haired man roared.
