Chapter XXXI War War
As the voting progressed, the scene was quiet again.
Everyone didn't dare to breathe, and looked at Yasien, who was sitting in place, with either expectation or worry in their eyes.
"Uncle Jasionβ" Jean breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a dull pain, and the numb chest gradually became conscious.
In her heart, the other party should be like Kaeya, an unwavering supporter of herself.
The word war is too cruel.
Dragons aren't the only enemies either.
After many dragon plagues, the Knights also found traces of the abyss behind them.
Their presence is more dangerous and more brutal, and to wage war means to face the attack of the abyss.
Even in neighboring Liyue, with its gods and immortals, a country of this size would not dare to speak of war, let alone Mondstadt.
As for the gods of Mondstadt...
Don't mention it.
I saw Jasion slowly stand up, cross the piano, and come to the high platform.
For a moment, countless eyes converged on him.
There was a moment of silence.
Ahian looked around.
"If that's the case."
"From now on, Mondstadt..."
"Prepare for war."
Bang!
Qin's body was like five thunderbolts, his mind was dizzy for a while, his eyes were black, and he seemed to be drained of all his strength in an instant.
I just felt like the world was spinning.
Before she could lose all consciousness, she heard anxious shouts around her, and guards rushing towards her.
His hazy gaze turned to the silent figure on the high platform.
At that moment, she felt that the other party's familiar face was so unfamiliar.
"No, no..."
was already injured, coupled with perennial fatigue, under the huge blow, she unwillingly closed her eyes and fainted.
There was a slight commotion at the scene.
Ahion spoke again: "In addition, I have decided to resign from my position as acting head of the regiment. β
"And appoint it to the honorary knight Ye Feng."
"May the wind god forgive us."
Kaeya rushed to the high platform, picked up the fainted piano, and looked at the figure on the high platform in disbelief.
......
The war is about to begin.
When the news of the Order's announcement of war came, some were ecstatic and others worried.
The efficiency of the Knights was fast.
Only the next day, many pedestrians who stopped noticed a group of knights in armor and fully armed appeared on the streets.
After a while, another group of knights ran by.
The gates were closed, and the gateway to the outer gates of Mondstadt had been blocked, with wooden barricades and barbed wire fences being pulled up, and dozens of knights guarding them to prevent anyone from leaving and cut off the only way into the city.
On the walls of the city tens of meters high, a team of knights was stationed at intervals.
Pedestrians were panicked, and many foreign travelers gathered in front of the barricades, making loud noises trying to leave the free city.
A knight said coldly:
"On the orders of the Honorary Knights, no one is allowed to leave the city until the end of the war!"
With that, the knight waved his hand, and dozens of knights ran quickly, holding wooden weapons, and drove the crowd roughly.
......
Goethe Grand Hotel.
This is one of Mondstadt's most prestigious and luxurious hotels.
But at this time, none of the residents of Mondstadt existed in the Grand Hotel.
It's just because it's a diplomatic home for the Fatui.
"Start a war? How dare they? Could it be that Jean is crazy? A female Fatui wearing a blood-stained mask looked at the information handed by her subordinates in disbelief.
"It's... The subordinates don't know. The subordinate was half-kneeling and did not dare to raise his head.
"No, hurry up and go to the snow mountain to inform the lady." The female Fatui scrambled to their feet.
They did not have many diplomats and troops stationed in Mondstadt, and war was coming, making it difficult for them to gain a foothold in the city due to their relatively weak forces.
"My lord, the city gates have been sealed, and our people can't get out..."
"What!?"
"What about the young man? He'd already been in town. β
"Can't get in touch... Our people haven't even seen him at all, and the only one who has seen him isn't in the city at this time, my lord, my subordinates are presumptuous, are you sure this source is true? β
"Damn it!"
......
Inside the ruins of the Wind Dragon.
The wind was blowing.
Lightning.
Thick dark clouds obscured the sky and the fog rolled.
A blonde-haired empty stood silently in front of the cliff.
Behind him, dozens of diminutive abyssal mages wearing bird's beak masks knelt reverently.
Suddenly, the fog swirled behind him, and Dvalin's massive dragon body tore through the dark clouds, swirling with a cyan storm that hovered high in the sky.
An abyss mage lowered his head and reported in a strange tone, "Your Highness, your servant has brought back new information for you. β
"Mondstadt has declared war on the Dragons."
"War?"
Sora turned around indifferently, not as if surprised.
"It's not war."
"Before the new throne flooded by the dark abyss, no one can stop me from moving forward."
The Abyss Mage lowered his head: "I see, Your Highness. β
"When your kingdom returns to earth, we will share in its glory."
As far as the eye can see, an endless army of monsters has emerged at the foot of the mountain.
In mid-air, the dragon was roaring with all its might.
......
Angel's Gift.
One of the most famous taverns in Mondstadt.
It is also the estate of Diluc, a descendant of the Lekenfender family.
As one of the three nobles of Mondstadt, the Lekenfender family is also extremely important, controlling almost half of Mondstadt's economic lifeline.
It's all thanks to the red-haired man.
Under his rule, the Lykenfender family not only has a huge economy, but also a terrifying underground intelligence network.
Charles, the bartender, one of Diluc's most trusted subordinates, has always been calm and good at reading words and colors, and getting information from clues, but at this time he is a little uneasy.
But now that the news of the city blockade has been delivered, most of the intelligence lines that the Lekenfender family has been proud of have been cut off.
Until now, he had not been able to contact Lord Diluc, who was far away at the Dawn Winery.
"What can I do?" In front of the bar, Charles wiped the wine bottle, listening to the voices of the drinkers in his ears, but he was a little anxious.
War.
It's war.
What the hell is going on with the Knights, and what happened to Captain Jean?
Why did this decision come from all of a sudden?
Is Mondstadt really ready for war?
He didn't know that Jean had fallen into a coma.
I didn't know that the top of the Order had changed overnight.
After Qin lost all consciousness, Ye Feng, who was promoted to the position of deputy head and also served as an honorary knight, had become the supreme leader of the Knights.
All these orders were given by him.
And the purpose is to start this war.
