147 - War

Jean is calm.

Diluc's casual attitude doesn't mean much, as the man had spent his Mora helping to pacify the unfortunate people of Mondstadt, and had personally taken part in the raid on the Order's lair, though it turned out that the lair was a bomb that had been prepared in advance.

But he did get things done.

Verbal words are not a big problem compared to the actual choices in the matter.

More objectively, this answer is also not a problem.

"Not long ago, the Order attacked the Mondstadt, and although the actual casualty figure was not high, it was a deterrent······ And to show our incompetence, in fact, it is enough. ”

Lisa whispered, "The people of Mondstadt can probably see that the Knights are actually completely unable to protect them. ”

It's a bit embarrassing to say, but it's true.

But anyone whose eyes are not ornaments can see that the Knights are indeed not good.

"Knowing that they can win, or have the opportunity to win, they will be indignant and want to advocate hatred."

"But if it's clear that we can't win, I don't think a lot of Mondstadt people will be willing to tear their faces with Solstice."

Kaeya spread her hands out, her face helpless.

The mood of the people of Mondstadt is not low, but like a barrel of dynamite, it can explode at any moment.

This is the case after the external threat has passed, some people are afraid to reflect, and some people are full of resentment.

Usually, it's the latter that's a little bit more, because the trouble is solved after all.

The means of venting negative emotions are also very simple, generally relying on drinking and spitting on the incompetence of the Order.

It's not hard to fix because they still have Diluc.

This kind of emotion can be thrown at the Fatui with a little inducement.

It's not difficult to incite hatred, but the trouble is, after inciting hatred, does Mondstadt really want to break with Solstice once and for all?

"If it had been before the Dragon Plague began, we would have been able to get a lot of Mondstadt people to do so." Lisa was only halfway there.

Before and after the Dragon Plague, the strength of the Knights actually did not change much.

But before the Dragon Calamity, the Knights still had enough prestige, and ordinary people in that period didn't know that the Knights were no longer good, and their trust in the Knights of Favonius was still very high.

After the Dragon Calamity, the face project was shattered by the Abyss Order, and everyone knows that the Knights are actually not very good.

This is something that affects people's emotions very much.

Everyone knows that the strength of the Knights is not good, and if you and they continue to promote hatred about the Fatui, they will also seriously consider whether the Knights will not be able to defeat the Fatui either.

can't win, or don't spread this hatred, and continue to endure it.

Fighting this kind of thing, rushing up to fight others, no matter what you say, it makes sense.

was hit in the face by others, how do you say that everyone is very resistant.

Qin didn't understand this truth, she just couldn't bear it.

This is also too bullying, the front foot has just passed the trouble, and the back foot gives people strength.

"How about talking to the people of Liyue?" Kaeya reminded, "Because of the dragon plague, Liyue has sent someone to find out what is going on. ”

"The Fatui are spread across six countries, and everyone knows they have bad intentions, but it is never clear what they want."

Diluc shook his head, "If you want to use the example of the Anemo God to frame the Fatui, I'm afraid it's not feasible. ”

"There are immortals in Liyue, and besides, to put it mildly, our Anemo is probably not as powerful as Morax."

Framing the Fatui is a thing that doesn't cost anything.

They have a bad reputation, and almost always you can succeed in whatever notoriety you put on it.

But there should always be something logical.

Everyone knows that there are immortals in Liyue, and most of these immortals are elite warriors who survived the Daedric War.

Dealing with the demon gods may be a little worse, but cleaning up the mortals, it is really too simple.

In addition, Morax is a little too fierce when it comes to force.

You say that the Fatui are plotting against the god of wind, and I believe that.

The people of Mondstadt have said so, and I, as a Liyue person, must believe it.

But you said that the Fatui are still plotting against the power of the rock gods, and I, a Liyue person, have a little problem, so why should they?

Are they not afraid of death with their heads?

"It doesn't matter if it's successful or not, it's enough to be able to block the Fatui." The piano sets the tone.

It's just a matter of adding to the blockage······ Looks like she's looking away again.

Kaeya spread his hands and returned to his normal indecent state.

"It's not troublesome, the head of the regiment can leave it to me with confidence." He smiled and agreed, without the slightest concern.

"Falgar has no plans to return yet?" Diluc asked in a deep voice, "The Knights are too weak now. ”

The Knights weren't always so weak, but the leader and Archbishop of Mondstadt had left with their elite warriors, and the remaining force was not enough.

"In the middle of the dragon plague, the Fatui did strike." Lisa replied, "Just as we expected, but when everyone had to leave Mondstadt, the Order did incite a group of monsters to attack the city. ”

After three consecutive instigations of monsters, the Knights no longer need regular patrols and cleanups for a long time after the Dragon Plague.

The Order simply threw up the whole family of these monsters, and wiped them out to extinction in one fell swoop.

The group defending the city was indeed the Fatui, but Rosalyn was probably ready to attack Wendy at that time, so she also sent someone to ask Lisa for a batch of knight uniforms.

The Knights of Favonius, who were standing on the city walls at that time, were actually all Fatui soldiers.

The face is good-looking, but the face that people save for the Knights is actually for the later plan.

Like now.

"She also knows how to put on a show for the Knights." Diluc snorted.

The Fatui were entrusted with carrying the front, but if the people of Mondstadt saw that the Fatui were standing on the walls of the city when the monsters were attacking the city, it would not be a shameful job.

I lost my face and my face.

Rosalyn's actions saved face for the Order.

Anyway, if they didn't say it, no Mondstadt would know that it was the foreigners who protected them at that time.

One more move, and now it also holds back Jean's thoughts.

People have saved face for you, and it's not good if you go too far.

Besides, if you want to go a little too far, you can't do it.

"Falgar's expedition seems to have some cooperation with the Fatui, not for the benefit of the Fatui, but for Mondstadt." Jean whispered, "Although I don't know who the enemy of the expedition is, I believe in Falga. ”

Falca set off an expedition, and with his personality and past style, it was impossible to help others at the expense of Mondstadt's interests.

Moreover, even if he was so pure and friendly, Simon, the elite of the Knights and Archbishop of Mondstadt, would never let him drain Mondstadt's power.

There is no doubt that the expedition must have been a choice in Mondstadt's favor.

The cooperation between the Fatui and the Expeditionary Force also affected the relationship between the Knights and the Fatui in Mondstadt.

"At this time, you can still take care of the interests of Falga, and you don't plan to think about your own interests?" Diluc said coldly.

The Fatui will take care of the expeditionary force, so there are things they can do but won't do.

It's too desperate, Falga just pulls out and leaves, which is not good for everyone.

It's not just the Fatui who are bound by this collaboration, but Jean too.

She didn't want trouble in Mondstadt to interfere with Falgar's choices.

Expeditions are not tourism.

Since it was war, Jean believed that Falgar would face several times the danger of Mondstadt.

The help of the Fatui could also bring considerable benefits to the expeditionary force.

Clamp each other and restrain each other.

In terms of results alone, it was the Fatui who were superior.

The power in their hands is stronger, and the choice is naturally more abundant.

While laying out the Seven Kingdoms, they also have the strength to fight for something else.

Two-thirds of Mondstadt's Knights of Favonius formed the expeditionary force, and the rest remained in Mondstadt.

It's just divided into two forces, how can the expeditionary force not mention it, but the remaining knights have been beaten and have no strength to fight back.

If it weren't for Fengshen and Brother Kong standing up to save their respect, the situation would have been even worse.

Different forces bring different resilience, and with the same trouble, the Fatui will always have more options.

Everyone saw the answer, so they tacitly ended the topic.

So be it for now.

Continue to cause a little trouble for the Fatui about the attack on the Anemo God······ Just think he accidentally fell to the ground.

If you know the truth and can't do anything, then it doesn't matter what the truth is.

On the other side, Wendy returned to the windswept tree.

"What are you going to say again?" Paimon clasped his hands around him, "The last time you were here, you told us about the Dragon Calamity, and you told us that you were poisoned because we interrupted your rescue of Dvalin. ”

Paimon looked suspicious, "I've been suspicious for a long time, were you really poisoned at the time?" ”

According to Wendy's words at the time, he just stood here with Sora, and then the poison was removed.

It's kind of outrageous.

"It's true." Wendy looked sincere, "How could I deceive you?" ”

"What is the Heart of God?" Sora asked in a low voice, "That woman must have taken a risk by attacking you at the door of the church." ”

What can only be obtained by taking risks must of course have the same value as risks.

"You've noticed," Wendy looked a little distressed, "heck, this wasn't meant to be a topic to talk to ordinary people, but if it were you, it wouldn't be a problem to know." ”

"As you may already know, the Vision is described by Lisa as an external magical organ through which people can mobilize elemental power."

"And further, these people who have the [Vision of God] are qualified to climb to the top of Sky Island and become gods, so they are also called [Genshin Impact]."

Obviously being qualified does not mean that you will be able to do it.

Sora recalled for a moment and confirmed that he had never heard this statement.

"[Genshin Impact]? I don't think I've ever heard of it..." Paimon is also listening to the story.

"This is something that only true gods know, the [Vision] is the external magic organ of the [Genshin Impact], and we don't need the [Vision] as a primary organ—"

Sora interrupted Wendy's description: "Wait a minute, the term external magic organs, you demon gods also need external magic organs?" ”

"Oh, listen to me." Wendy was not in a hurry to answer, "Instead, the god's magical organ is connected to the resonance of Sky Island... That is, the Heart of God. ”

"According to you, your current magical organ was taken away by that woman?" Paimon looked at Venti, "Doesn't that mean you're weaker now?" ”

Humans control elemental power through external magical organs.

Without the Vision, they have no way to control their elemental power.

And the gods also have their own magical organs, and they resonate with the Sky Island, forming the so-called God Heart.

But according to this statement······

"After losing the magic organ, you can't control the elemental power anymore." Sora frowned slightly, "If that's the case, why did you compete for the so-called Earthly Seven Rulers back then. ”

"Binding your magical organs to Sky Island has become the so-called [God Heart], but in this way, you will also be controlled by Sky Island······"

Mind, control of magical organs, drive elemental forces.

The process of Genshin Impact driving elemental power is not complicated, you want to drive the idea of elemental power to control the Vision, and then use the power of the Vision to drive the elemental force.

Most of the monsters, they also rely on their magical organs to control their elemental power.

It's just that their magical organs are inside the body, and they belong to natural magical lifeforms.

According to Wendy, the Demon God is obviously just a high-ranking monster.

Perhaps the Heart of God is also their heart, but the Demon God is not a life that cannot be lived without the heart.

Having lost the Heart of God, they still retain a considerable degree of power.

The Demon Gods also rely on their magical organs to drive elemental power, but once they become the Seven Archons, their magical organs resonate with the Isle of Sky.

That's not a good thing.

Maybe he will become stronger, but in the process, the source of his power is controlled by Sky Island, and he will not think that this is also a kind of strengthening.

"War is never-ending, and plunder is one of the sources of war." Wendy gives a relatively reasonable reason.

But Sora also has his own guesses.

The Demon God War is not necessarily the will of the Demon God, and the so-called Seven Consuls is not a prize for the victors.

To put it another way, someone is forcing the demon gods to choose the last few victors, and they will be included in the Seven Ruling System and have a chance to live.

It is indeed a reward, I have allowed you to live, how is this not a reward?

But it doesn't seem entirely true, because some of the Daedric gods are not the victors of the Daedric War, but they are still active on the continent of Teyvat.

Empty brows furrowed slightly, putting the thought on hold for the time being.
