"Assemble! Form a line! Defend the Wolf King's Altar and our fellow Mondstadt people!"
At the edge of the altar, the assembled wolf knights drew out their wind-type alchemy swords, while other knights set up muskets, and all the standard alchemy equipment of various knight regiments was also in place.
Fortunately, since this was the first time in many years that Mondstadt had visited the Wind God's followers, the knights who came were all elite and had the best and most complete equipment. In terms of military operations in Mondstadt today, this team was the best, apart from the elite troops of the expedition.
"Ah? ~~" ×N
The clergy of the Order of Favonius also stood side by side at the altar, chanting hymns, and their songs condensed invisible power and transmitted it to the knights, enhancing their strength, weakening their fear, and raising their fighting spirit.
From the innermost alchemy cannon, to the clergy who add buffs and treatments, to the knights on the front line, this is a complete war system.
But don't ever think that Mondstadt, which has stood for thousands of years, is favored by the wind god and lives in a supernatural world, has the actual combat power of only a few medieval knights with iron swords!
If this were the case, then the God of Wind had been dormant for so long that the Abyss Cult and even the monster tides in the wild would have flattened Mondstadt long ago.
Andrius looked at the Mond formation and made a neutral comment:
"Not bad."
It's just okay indeed. Perhaps the truly elite expeditionary forces would get a slightly higher rating here.
"Sighted, fire!"
An order came from the knights.
Angel waved her hand at the alchemists operating the alchemy cannon.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Chapter 64: One Breath, Three Thousand Six Hundred Turns
The war has begun.
The power of a cannon that is temporarily forged is ultimately limited, and the filling materials must also be made on the spot, which is very slow.
So after briefly baptizing the front line with artillery fire, the knights faced the oncoming beast tide head-on.
"Meet the enemy!"
"Hold on!"
Among the clergy, those who possessed the eyes of God and could protect themselves also went to the front lines to provide treatment, reinforcements, and the like.
"Re-ready the cannons and wait for my orders."
Angel gave the alchemists an order. As the highest-ranking alchemist on the scene and the chief advisor of the Wolf Riders, Angel was undoubtedly the commander at this moment.
"call out!"
Then she whistled for a well-fed wolf, mounted its back, and ran to the front.
Although the battle lines were laid out in full, in reality, this force was still a makeshift team.
The priests had basically no war experience. Those who were buffed at the back were fine, and could continue to chant without causing any chaos. However, the few God's Eye priests who went to the front line to help were in chaos.
The knights were relatively better, at least they dared to fight. But this kind of legionary combat was unfamiliar to them, and various small mistakes due to poor coordination occurred frequently.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Angel rides a wolf and rushes across the front line, frequently backing up knights and priests who make mistakes with her own sniper rifles, grenades, RPGs and other elemental weapons.
"Boom!!!"
A cannon blasted away a dozen violent Hillichouls, freeing Barbara who was busy treating the knights.
"Angie!"
"Stay calm and don't panic. Master Lisa and Captain Qin will come to save us. Besides, there's the Wolf King behind us, so don't be afraid."
"Ok!"
Barbara wiped away the tears of fear and pulled herself together on the battlefield. The water elemental power in her hands surged, and she continued to restore the combat capabilities of the wounded around her.
Angel continued to ride the wolf, protecting everyone's lives everywhere.
Fortunately, the battle line is not big and the scale of the war is not large, so she can still handle it.
Andrius watched the Mond people fighting with the wolves quietly, then suddenly turned around.
"Humph, you are indeed the despicable followers of the Abyss. So, are you ready to face the wrath of the North Wind Wolf King?"
"Hohoho! Wolf King? Where did this Wolf King come from? You blindly worshipped your so-called wind god, and look at what you have become now? You are just a weak and powerless soul, lingering on in this dilapidated altar!"
The Abyss Wizard said with a sneer.
Andrius stared at it coldly - Mard, if I had known, I would have asked the Mond people to come and repair it earlier. It's so broken and shabby, and you, an Abyss Mage, are you qualified to make fun of me?
"Andrius, Teyvat is not worth your stay. Come back to the abyss with me. There, you will be bathed in glory beyond your imagination!"
"That's the end of my will. I'm not interested in listening to your crazy talk anymore! Roar!"
Andrius burst out with a terrifying aura, and in an instant he rushed to the front of the Abyss Mage and opened his mouth to tear it apart.
But the Abyss Mage was well prepared and threw out a ball of black object.
"boom!"
Andrius's cold air froze the Abyss Mage, and the impact of the flying sword smashed it into pieces. But at the same time, a black mist rushed to the Abyss Mage, causing him to roar angrily in it.
"Damn it! Is this what you have in store for Tevarin?"
"Our compatriots have sacrificed, but it is an honorable sacrifice. Andrius, we will not blame you. Come, come, inherit the will of your fearless compatriots and return to the abyss with us~~"
"Return to the abyss together~~"
Two Abyss Mages appeared around the black mist, dancing and tempting, catalyzing the corrosive power of the Abyss black mist with their words.
Then, ignoring Andrius' struggle in the mist, they flew toward the terrified and unprotected non-combatants.
"Use your blood and resentment to help Andrius move forward until he becomes a member of the Abyss, hahahaha!"
"Oh!"
Suddenly, a flash of fire shot out from the sky and exploded in front of the two Abyss Wizards, with flames rising to the sky.
"Who?"
Both Abyss Mages put up elemental shields. The thin red and blue circle emblems were used to block the impact of PG.
After the smoke cleared, they saw a blond girl with an indifferent look in front of them, holding a black alchemical object with a gun barrel.
"Looking for death!" ×2
"Three thousand six hundred revolutions in one breath, the element-driven Vulcan Gatling, please witness it!"
The Abyss Mages fired fireballs and ice cones at Angel, but Angel activated the Gatling gun with an expressionless face.
"Tick, tick, tick!"
“Boom boom!!”
Although Teyvat is advanced, its overall production model is still relatively backward. However, many materials including elemental forces have performances that surpass the technological world. So 3,600 revolutions per breath is really possible.
The horrible recoil caused Angel's feet to move backwards one after another.
But after more than a minute of continuous shooting, the area ahead was filled with dust and there was no trace of the two Abyss Mages anymore.
“It’s all fancy.”
Angel curled her lips. Then she abandoned the Gatling gun, which had been temporarily scrapped, and turned to look at Andrius who was surrounded by the black mist.
"I told you that the Abyss Order was prepared. If they met us, they would be calm. Why are you still rushing in? Big Dog is Big Dog. He is a bit crazy."
An Qi shouted with concern:
"Andrius?"
"You can call me by my proper name, little one! Cough cough cough!"
Andrius shouted in a very dignified voice. Then the wolf fell down, trembling in the struggle with the power of the abyss, and temporarily unable to move.
In other words, we can no longer count on its combat effectiveness.
Angel shook her head, and after confirming that the big wolf would not be dangerous for the time being, she quickly organized the alchemists to speed up the filling of the alchemy cannon, and then continued to wander around to provide backup.
Although the Abyss Wizard died, the rampaging monsters that were lured here showed no signs of stopping.
The Wolf Territory has not been cleaned up all year round. The wolves usually hunt wild beasts at most and have no awareness of regularly clearing out monsters. Therefore, the number of monsters in this vast forest is quite exaggerated.
'No. After all, there are no city walls, and the number of troops and supplies are limited. We won't be able to hold out for long.'
Fortunately, An Qi also sensed the arrival of reinforcements.
At this moment, Qin and Lisa led a large group of knights to the foot of the mountain and were heading towards the altar.
"Everyone retreat, the musketeers hold the line, the alchemical cannons can fire a second round!"
Angel shouted to the whole army, and her voice echoed everywhere through the transmission of wind elemental power. And on her waist, a wind elemental divine eye was already hanging there, shining brightly.
So the main force retreated, and the alchemical cannons roared, baptizing the front line once again.
Then the knights regrouped and went to the front line again to continue to resist the monsters. Behind them, the chanting priests had turned pale, and their energy was depleted.
After the battle lasted for half an hour, Jean and Lisa finally arrived.
“Wind Pressure Sword!”
"It's time to give it some electricity~~"
The two most trustworthy warriors in Mondstadt took action. A strong wind swept through the thunderstorm, rushing through the mountains and forests recklessly, turning large groups of monsters into ashes.
Chapter 65 The Abyss Cult takes a gamble
Qin arrived at the altar and smiled when she saw the knights, who were surrounded by wolves but seemed to have suffered no casualties.
"Thank you for your hard work. Reinforcements have arrived. You retreat to the altar to rest and we will fill in the gaps."
"Captain Qin, great! You're finally here!"
"Everyone, please take a rest. Also, how is Mr. Andrius now?"
Qin's expression became solemn.
The situation was urgent, and the monsters were still pouring in. They had fought their way up, and knew that this defense battle was far from over.
So now is not the time to worry about the wounded. What Qin cares about most is what happened to the North Wind Wolf King, the lord of this place. If he hadn't been in trouble, the monster tide would be like a breeze in front of the demon god, and it wouldn't have developed to this point.
"Here, it seems that there has been no movement. We are all maintaining a line outside the altar, and we don't know what's going on. Captain Qin, please go and take a look yourself."
"Okay. Let's wait until things are stable here. You guys go in and rest first."
Qin patted the front-line captain on the shoulder, watched him return to the altar with a smile, and also saw the shadow of the wolf lying on the altar.
"Lord Andrius is lying down. What happened? How could anyone hurt the demon god? Why did the wind god go to Liyue as an envoy? Could it be that the long-planned conspiracy was brewing?"
All of a sudden, Qin had a very deep connection.
"The abyss? A foreign demon? Or some unknown dark force?"
Fools have the lowest probability.
They do often cause trouble. But to say that they can cause trouble to the Demon God, it is only if the Ice Queen wants to taste the fate of the storm baptism until winter. No matter how you think about it, the second generation of gods will not provoke the first generation of gods, isn't that asking for a beating?
Qin could not determine the specific possibility based on common sense. She had no choice but to command the reinforcements that arrived one after another to establish a defense line and defend the altar first.
After a series of quick arrangements, the reinforcements held the front line, and Qin and Lisa finally arrived at the altar.
An Qi trotted over to greet them, "@!q, let's go, @#&% kids... Let's go, @#&%."
Qin leaned over and touched the girl's head.
"I heard that it was because you have been helping everyone on the front line that we avoided casualties and the defeat of the formation. That's amazing. Thank you, Angie... Hey, do you have the Eye of God?"
"Huh? Really? When did it appear?"
Angel picked up the Eye of God and turned it over curiously to observe for a while. Then she hung it back around her waist nonchalantly, without any emotion.
"Awesome, you are worthy of being my disciple."
Lisa couldn't hide her joy and touched Angel's face.
However, for those who can obtain the Eye of God, this thing is not that important. In addition, the time is not right, so they did not say anything more on this topic.
The three men came before Andrius.
