Chapter 22: Stormterror Attack
As one Vision owner after another failed, the atmosphere became even more bizarre.
Until the last person, the crowd was in an uproar.
Countless people began to question the reasonableness of this assessment.
"Even the Vision owner is so embarrassed, how can ordinary people get through?" A large man in a white robe shouted.
"Hey, little brother standing on it, if you don't have the ability to break these six stakes, why don't you honestly come down and stand with us?" Some people also shouted at Ye Feng, who was alone on the stage, causing a burst of laughter.
Ye Feng never responded.
The crowd was silent, and soon, the doubts shifted from the owner of the Vision to the Knights of Favonius.
"I don't believe that the Knights will be able to pass this test?"
"Silence, silence!"
"Don't disturb the order of the exam room!"
The knights who maintained order were exhausted, trying to stop the rioting crowd.
Jean frowned and sighed silently.
These people, including the visioners, were completely unaware of the purpose of the test.
There are no restrictions on the use of external items such as bombs, alchemy, special potions, etc., except for the prohibition of bombs, alchemy, special potions, etc.
As long as you master the right method, any ordinary person has a chance to pass the assessment.
How could the citizens of Mondstadt be so ignorant?
Or have they lost the ability to think after being at peace for so long?
Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, Jean no longer hesitated and raised the long sword in his hand.
"Silence!"
The wind element erupted, and the terrifying wind and waves obscured the sky and the sun.
The dazzling sunlight was obscured by a huge storm, and the scene was pitch black, large and small debris flew in the air, and the shade of the trees on the street bent their waists before snapping in two.
In the face of heavy pressure, the crowd finally quieted down.
Everyone looked in awe at the harp with the sword held high on the platform.
Once again, the Liontooth Knight showed her edge.
The terrifying wind elemental power permeated and haunted everyone's hearts.
Fortunately, the pressure dissipated in only a moment.
Jean sighed, and the slightly tired voice reached everyone's ears through the transmission devices placed around the square.
"That's it."
"There are no problems with the assessment of the Knight of Favonius, and the assessment continues."
"If you are not satisfied, you can raise an objection afterwards, but until then, anyone who dares to cause trouble will be dealt with according to the laws of Mondstadt!"
Among the knights outside the field, Kaeya stood not far away, his eyes fixed on Ye Feng on the high platform.
"It's this guy again..."
"I didn't expect him to have a vision, a foreigner... It's kind of interesting. ”
This is the third time Kaeya and Ye Feng have met.
He shook his head and turned away in style.
"Captain, where are you going?" The knight behind him shouted.
Kaeya just waved his hand and didn't reply.
Captain Jean has spoken, and the riotous crowd should soon calm down.
There should be no business for him next.
Go to the Angel Tavern for a drink, and I've heard that there are new flavors of liquor.
Thinking like this, Kaeya walked farther and farther away.
But it didn't take long for him to run back in a hurry.
"Quick, I want to see Captain Qin."
"Stormterror is here!"
......
The assessment was aborted, and Jean began to organize the knights to evacuate the crowd present.
However, there were too many citizens gathered in the square.
The crowd fled frantically, and the neighboring houses were filled with ant-like crowds.
The crowd of black-pressed people was still flowing into the distance, trying to find a place to hide.
Qin's eyes were full of anxiety, and she couldn't help but clench the sword in her hand.
Stormterror's massive form was already within ten miles of Mondstadt, and it was about to break through the first layer of defense.
At its rate, within three minutes, the people who haven't fled here will be wiped out.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
After a moment, she calmed down, her gaze sweeping over the knights who surrounded her.
"Whoever wants to come with me and stop it."
"The citizens haven't fled yet, as the Knights of Favonius, we can't take a step back, we enjoy the support of the citizens, and now it's time for us to protect them."
This was the first time she had made the decision to confront Stormterror head-on.
Even though the other party had destroyed Mondstadt several times, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Stormterror Dvalin was once one of the four guardians of Mondstadt.
As a last resort, she didn't want to swing her sword at it.
Only now, they have no choice.
Once Dvalin flies into the city, with the terrifying destructive power of the other party, the crowd gathered here will be killed and injured in an instant.
For the sake of the lives of the citizens, she must respond to this.
"I'd like to go with you." Kaeya chuckled, not even the slightest hesitation.
"My subordinates are willing to go together." The Knights of Favonius present all knelt down on one knee and expressed their determination in a unified tone.
Jean took a deep breath and said, "Thank you. ”
"This decision may lead to the death of many people in the Knights."
"In order to protect the citizens, I am willing to rush to the forefront and bear all the consequences."
"For Mondstadt!"
"For Mondstadt!"
The knights all drew their swords and shouted in unison.
Even if these citizens are a little ignorant, they have lost the ability to think about change in the long peace.
Even if these citizens have questioned their inaction and questioned the failure of the assessment.
They are still willing to protect the citizens of Mondstadt.
This is the responsibility of the Order from generation to generation.
"That..."
"Can you count me as one?"
Behind the qin, Ye Feng stood up.
"You?"
Jean frowned.
After a moment of silence, she kindly advised: "Strictly speaking, you are not a member of the Order now, and you don't need to follow my orders in this matter. ”
"You go back first, and when this matter is resolved, the Knights will send someone to contact you."
Ye Feng was stunned.
How do you feel that this sentence is somewhat familiar.
Seeing that Ye Feng was reluctant to leave, Qin said again: "The Wind Demon Dragon is very powerful, you will die." ”
Ye Feng grinned.
"It doesn't matter, I just want to protect them."
"Don't worry, if you can't do anything, I'll protect myself too."
Looking at the young man's hearty smile, Qin was a little moved.
Obviously he is still an alternate knight, so he has such a strong belief?
Only such a person is qualified to serve as a Knight of Favonius!
"Good!"
She nodded heavily.
"Captain Qin, Noelle, Noelle also needs to help!"
"You can't, Noelle."
Jean didn't even think about it, and then she refused the maid who came in a hurry.
Unlike others, if Noelle had participated in this mission, she would definitely have died, and there was no second possibility.
Even when it comes to a critical moment, Jean still wants to protect her.
This girl is only fourteen years old now, and she still has a good life to live, and she should not be sacrificed here.
Kaeya laughed, gave Noelle another urgent task, and took the maid away.
"You see, the people of the Knights of Favonius are rushing towards the Stormterror." The citizens who had been hiding had no time to observe the outside world until this time, and the sharp-eyed people had already spotted the movements of the Knights.
"Really rushed over!"
"And that boy, the owner of the Vision is also in the crowd!"
But can they really overcome each other? That's Stormterror! Someone worried.
With its huge body covering the sky and the sun, and its claws alone being several stories high, did the weakened Knights of Favonius really have any hope of defeating such an enemy?
"Maybe they're doing it to protect us." Beside him, the white young man pushed his glasses.
"After the long march of the large group, with the strength of the current West Knights, it is impossible to defeat the Storm Demon Dragon, otherwise they will not let the other party wreak havoc for so long."
The white pure youth calmly analyzed: "The Knights of Favonius have been avoiding head-on confrontations, and in order to reduce losses, every time an attack occurs, they will let the citizens dodge. ”
"It's just that now, there is no point in dodging, and it will take a while for the crowd to retreat."
"And during this time, they fought for us with their lives."
When the citizens heard this, they all fell silent.
A moment later, a thirty-year-old man smiled bitterly.
"I didn't expect that the boy who kept saying that he was not a member of the Knights would also participate in this mission."
"I even doubted his eligibility to be exempt from the exam before this."
"Now it seems that he is the one who is truly qualified to bear the name of a knight."
"yes." The crowd sighed and agreed.
......
"Roar!"
The dragon arrived as scheduled, remaining in mid-air, its scarlet eyes surveying the ant-like crowd beneath its feet.
A group of Knights of Favonius in silver-white armor lined up in a formation with long swords in hand, and stopped in front of it.
Among the knights at the head, Qin held the Zephyr sword tightly, his fingers were showing a trace of bruises due to excessive force, and his tightly tied hair was also soaked with sweat, which looked a little messy.
On the other side, an evil spell haunted the dragon's ears.
The abyssal mage, staff in hand and beak mask on his head, appeared above the dragon's head with a strange cry.
"Poor dragon, what are you hesitating about? They have long since left you. The Abyss Mage spoke in a strange tone, with a hint of bewitchment in his words.
"You fought the dragon with all your might to help Mondstadt, ripping its throat open, but what about after that?
When you wake up again from your injuries, he is no longer with you, and the people of Mondstadt no longer know you. ”
The Abyss Mage suddenly vanished, reappearing above the dragon's head.
"They are no longer worth protecting, hate, anger, you are already an enemy of Mondstadt, and there is no turning back."
As the scepter in the abyssal mage's hand lit up, the huge bulge of purple poisonous blood on Dvalin's back became more and more bewitching.
The dragon's eyes were a little confused and pained, but they were quickly replaced by hatred.
It roared with all its might, a cyan glow condensed from the massive dragon's mouth.
A powerful cloud of solid cyan energy blasted towards the Zevonius Knight on the ground.
"Danger!"
Qin's pupils shrank, and her mouth was delicate.
"Wind pressure!"
She swung the sword in her hand, and the dense wind elemental power around her converged towards her hand.
Suddenly let go.
The two cyan clouds of energy collided fiercely together in the next second.
"Ahh
The scene was filled with cyan mist.
The camp of the Knights was also split in an instant.
Several knights were swept away by the aftermath of the battle, screaming and being thrown out, their lives and deaths unknown.
Qin's hands trembled, and he resisted the pressure of the dragon, and roared in a low voice: "Disperse, knights who still have strength left, please fight with me!" ”
With that, she raised the long sword in her hand again and turned the blade violently.
The rich cyan light coalesced together and subsequently formed a huge field.
Several of the knights, who had been badly wounded, gradually regained consciousness, and their exposed wounds were gradually healing.
"Kill!" Kaeya took the lead, and the icy cold air condensed, turning into solid and huge ice picks, shooting towards the demon dragon in the air.
"Kill!"
The Knights of Favonius were armed with bows and arrows or raised their solid shields.
Among them, Amber's performance is the most eye-catching.
One arrow after another with tail flames struck the dragon in the air, leaving a black mark on the dragon's body.
She took out a doll with rabbit ears and threw it into the air, and a moment later, a violent explosion rang out.
Ye Feng also followed the crowd, and the fire in his hand condensed.
Outside the city, Eula, who received the news, was also on her way back in a hurry.
Stormterror hovered its body, dodging the attacks of the crowd, the subtle but dense pain eroding its sanity more and more, and roared angrily, and flew straight towards the Knights.
The great war between the two sides began again.
I don't know how long it took.
There were fewer and fewer figures still standing beside Ye Feng.
Lying underneath lay a lifeless body.
The Order has lost more than half of it.
Fragments of torn armor were left in every corner of the site, along with stumps and severed arms.
On the other hand, Stormterror's appearance is not good.
Silky traces of blackened and scarlet blood appeared on the dragon's body.
One of the dragon's fleshy wings was frozen in ice, making it impossible to swing for the time being.
And not far away, watching this scene, tears flowed from the eyes of the citizens.
"Knights, you've worked hard."
"You are true heroes."
"Why, O wind, has Mondstadt suffered so much?"
"Lord Barbatos, please heed the call of the citizens, save them, save Mondstadt!"
Countless citizens hiding in the shadows spontaneously stood up and prayed loudly, calling the name of the wind god.
On the battlefield, the dragon hovered angrily in the air.
Two huge cyan tornadoes churned the land.
Houses shattered, the ground collapsed.
It's like the end of the world.
The knights of Favonius present hung their heads and held the solid ground in their hands, struggling to support them.
Wave after wave, the never-ending blade of wind cut through their armor and pierced their bodies.
If it weren't for the dandelion wind of the head of the qin group that continued to heal them, I am afraid that the knights would have been killed and wounded.
Jean's face was pale, still maintaining the Wind Realm, and the despair in her eyes flashed.
Suddenly, she noticed the thin figure of the Knights.
In the midst of the embarrassed figures, the figure of the young man is as clear as that.
Ye Feng stood up slowly, as if he was strolling leisurely, blocking in front of everyone.
A barrier of wind appeared in front of him, and any wind blades that swept through it dissipated into the air.
"Captain Qin, and all of you, you have worked hard."
"Next, leave it to me."
The boy didn't look back, and his faint tone rang in everyone's ears.
