Chapter 367 “My Lord and Mighty God, I now declare my fate!”

In the darkness of night, somewhere in a Fatui camp at the foot of the snowy mountains.

In this extremely cold area where people can’t even feel their own limbs, the Fatui in the cave are still working intensively.

——For them who came here from the beginning of winter, whether it is the severe cold of the snow-capped mountains or the pitch-black night, all these working conditions that ordinary people find difficult to adapt to can only be regarded as commonplace.

In order to “make the ungrateful Mond people suffer and ask for help from the great Queen”, they faithfully carried out the Star Extinguishing Plan specially arranged by the Doctor.

Deep in the cave, in front of a precision instrument, Novita, the leader of the No. 73 advance team, carefully completed the last parameter adjustment.
After checking again and again to confirm that the meteorite’s falling parameters were correct, he moved his frozen hands in the armor and sent a message to the “Doctor” who was now the commander-in-chief.

“.”

“understood.”

“.Next, all advance teams will send confirmation messages at a fixed time.
Those who delay the timing will be considered dead, and the “recycling” process will be initiated. “

Cold and emotionless words came from the communication device.
Recalling the so-called “early adaptation” process when joining the army, the advance team members couldn’t help but shudder.

“.”

All the work has been done.

After hanging up the communication device, there was no other sound in the cave except the crackling sound of burning wood and the slight sound of the exhaust system.

Novita wanted to let the team members rest for a while, but when he was about to speak, he heard a recently added team member whispered:

“Captain, I know we just need to obey the orders of the executive officer.
But is this plan really just to make Mond suffer as we have received it? “

“. But if we really want to do this, then no matter what, the consequences are a bit too serious.”

——According to prior notice, once the meteorite falls, the entire Mondstadt will fall into serious chaos.
It would be fine if no one knew the whole story, but if even a little bit of the news leaked out, the Fatui’s situation in Mondstadt would become very bad afterwards.

“.I have no idea.”

Novita looked at this young man who joined the army to subsidize his family and shook his head silently:
“.But we have no choice, and it is not the captain who is leading us.
No matter what the final result is, everything that follows will depend on how it is planned from above.”

It is clear that the style of “Doctor” is very different from that of “Captain”.
Having noticed the many discords in this mission, he actually had a vague ominous premonition of being abandoned.

After a brief pause, I noticed that all the team members who had heard about the Doctor’s past experiences were in a bad mood.

He thought about it for a while, and finally said with some comfort:
“——Based on the current situation, our confidentiality level this time is the highest level.
In this case, not to mention that there are no reports of any file loss at the moment,
Even if the Mond people were presented with a complete action plan, they would not be able to decipher the code within it.”

“That’s what the captain said.”

“——Huh?! Who is it?!”

“.”

“.Strange, is it my illusion?”

Before his subordinate finished speaking, Novita suddenly felt as if someone was watching him from behind.

The team leader, who had received assassination training for a period of time, glanced in the direction of the cave entrance and finally decided to go out and check:
“——Don’t be alone for now, just in case, come with me!”

“Yes, Captain!”

Complaints are complaints, but when I think of the cold words “recycling” after the mission failed,

The Fatui team, who always pay special attention to discipline in all their operations, also decided to go on patrol again.

“.”

“.”

On the other side,
In a depression on the cliff above the heads of these fools,
Paimeng and Ying, who had just peeked in curiously, were now covering their mouths and looking at each other in bewilderment.
Even though they had learned some information about the Fatui before, they had never expected that this team would have such elite anti-reconnaissance capabilities.
There was no need for any other flaws, he almost got exposed just by looking at her for a moment longer.

After a while,

I heard that there was no more movement from the fools nearby.
Ying used hand gestures to direct the rice ball that was holding her shoulders, indicating that it could take this opportunity to move herself and Paimon to another place.

“Gulu.”

He nodded and enlarged his body size.
The rice ball, which spent most of its time eating and sleeping, floated into the air.

He grabbed the blonde girl in front of him with his claws and flew silently through the air to a safe place with Paimon.

“Huh, there’s actually someone so alert among the fools?”

“. In such cold weather, if it were Paimon, he would definitely stay by the fire and not come out.”

With their “unusual” actions, Ying and Fantuan followed Paimon, who used his small size as a scout.

Before this, I had already safely walked most of the way without leaving any traces.

But I didn’t expect that just by relaxing my vigilance a little while sneaking, a big problem almost occurred.

“.Well. Not only are their individuals capable, but they are also very disciplined.”

“.I now understand why the Fatui have been able to infiltrate so many countries.”

Recalling the details I just saw,

In order to reduce the possibility of exposure as much as possible, Ying, who did not use elemental power to keep warm, also moved closer to Paimon.

“. Ugh. It’s so hard to sneak around in the snowy mountains. It’s cold and covered with snow.
If it weren’t for Fantuan who could carry you, Ying, I would have to carry the Dust Song Pot over alone.”

He tightly grasped the alchemical supplies provided by the Knights before departure.
Even so, Paimon still felt a little cold and admired the perseverance of the Fatui.

“Well, if you can’t fly, you must have a lot of stealth experience if you want to leave no traces here.”

“.I don’t know how the other two operators solved this problem.”

Recalling the arrangements at that time,

Ying remembered that because the Snow Mountain was the core landing point and located at the border of Mondstadt and Liyue, a total of three personnel were assigned to intercept.

Scholar Lin Feng and Miss Lisa went to the southeast and northwest sides of Mondstadt respectively.

The final distribution of personnel positions is roughly in the form of a large triangle within a small triangle with some overlap.

“.By the way, Ying, you should have memorized the prayers to summon the gods, right?

It seems that we two will be the ones to recite the first sentence and start the ceremony.”

Recall the next steps.
Paimon curled up and asked the blonde girl in front of him.

“Ah.”

Ying nodded.

“——Recite the prayer, remove the seal, and then use multiple crystals of divine power to perform a ritual to summon the gods.
We two are the starting point of the ceremony, I will never forget such an important thing.”

“Hehe, that’s good. Paimon was just about to say that he seemed to have forgotten something. Hmm!”

I immediately realized that I was a little slow because I was too cold.
Paimon quickly closed his mouth.
Then, pretending nothing had happened, she tilted her head slightly, nudged Ying in front of her with her two small hands, and changed the subject:

“Ahem, let’s go!”

“We should quickly reach the final destination at night, and then we can find a sheltered place to hide.
It was so cold outside that even Paimon’s knowledge was frozen away.”

“.” He glanced at his guide who had never failed to do so.
Ying sighed slightly and finally decided not to bother with her.

at the same time,

Unlike a certain traveler team that was fully equipped and flew directly over using air maneuvers,
For Diluk, who is traveling through the snowy mountains, his journey forward is not so simple and direct.

But nothing is absolute. If Ying and Paimon “skipped class” by crushing the Fatui’s reconnaissance system through hardware conditions,
As the current owner of Cherrytown Winery, he has a deep understanding of how to conduct covert operations in snowy mountain environments.

Diluk’s past is pretty unremarkable:

——At the age of ten, he obtained the Eye of God, and at the age of fourteen, he joined the Knights of Favonius, and soon became the captain of the cavalry, making numerous achievements.
He was a very qualified knight until the day he quit the Knights Temperance at the age of eighteen because he was dissatisfied with the Knights Temperance’s evaluation of his father.

“.”

He glanced at the Eye of God that was forcibly stuffed into his waist by Kaia before the action.
Having long been accustomed to the other power, he shook his head silently and had no intention of using it.

“.The evil eye?”

“.My father fought back Ursa at the cost of his life, so how can he be completely denied just because of the word “evil eye”? “

Stepping on the rocks on the snowless mountain wall,
Looking at the other darker red “Eye of God” on his glove, he also disdained the so-called gift from God.

——When he left the Knights four years ago, he left the Eye of God, which symbolized God’s gaze, there.

For so many years, he has been using the “evil eye” left by his father.

Before returning to Mondstadt and taking control of half of the wine industry in the Kingdom of Wind,
As the “uncrowned king” of Mondstadt’s economy, he has experienced more battles than most people can imagine:

——In order to find out the truth about the evil eye in his father’s hand, he traveled to the seven kingdoms and constantly destroyed the hideouts of the Fatui.
With his superhuman strength and the power of “evil” in his hand, Diluk’s destruction is unstoppable.
Under the huge loss, he finally forced several Fatui executives to take action personally, and eventually fell into a crisis of life and death.
“Wow–“

The sound of snow falling from the trees interrupted his memories.
He paused for a moment, looking at the “Divine Power Crystal” in the box in his hand.
Diluk, who had never seen the gods take action, was skeptical about the reliability of this “salvation”:

——The dragon Ursa has been wreaking havoc on Mondstadt for a thousand years.

According to legend, he was defeated several times by the current God of Wind, becoming an insignificant embellishment in the other’s achievements.

However, even this “omnipotent” god could not completely destroy the other party, and eventually his father had to use the power of the evil eye to sacrifice himself.
“.”

“. “The God of Authority”? “

“.If he can force Zhidong to give in, maybe he will not turn a blind eye to the evil deeds of the Fatui.”

I shook my head and put what I had seen and heard back into my mind.
Having fought desperately with those executives who “shared the power of God”, Diluk also wanted to see how this true God would deal with everything in the current situation.

The next morning, Eagle Beach.

Under the golden morning light, he stood upright in front of a group of fools.

Lin Feng, who was out for a trip, felt the divine power crystals falling one after another.

I couldn’t help but nodded, expressing my deep agreement with the reliability of these participants.

“.”

I looked up at the sky, which now looked normal.
Already able to sense some turbulence, he closed his eyes slightly and began to look for the location of “The Doctor” and Wendy.

“.”

“.Heh, is this to highlight the person on the map for me?”

“.It’s rare to see such high enthusiasm. It seems that Dotole’s choice of experimental subjects this time was indeed not very rational.”

She was certain that Zhidong had chosen a target that absolutely could not be chosen this time. Even if she had not intervened, Wendy would never allow anyone to take Tevarin away.

It was easy to find Dotore, who had a conspicuous mark on his head.

After confirming that all the “actors” were in place, Lin Feng looked at the sky in the distance that was gradually moving.

With the idea of ​​playing the whole play out, he recalled the prayer used to summon himself in his mind.

“Boom-“

“Boom-“

Mondstadt, West Wind Cathedral.

Under the sky that gradually took on strange colors during the day,

Accompanied by the panic expressions of countless people,
Four years later, after the still fresh in people’s memory of the monster riot,
The big bell on top of the church, symbolizing foreign invasion, rang again.

!!!

“——What on earth just happened?! Why did the alarm suddenly go to the highest level?!”

“——Hasn’t Uku already been dealt with? Is there another round of monster invasion?!”

“Please don’t panic, don’t rush!”

“The Knights of Favonius have prepared evacuation measures. Everyone should move in an orderly manner to the direction of the buildings for shelter. Do not stay in the open space.”

“.”

Shuttled among the confused and panicked people on the streets,

Many Knights of Favonius, who were arranged in advance in the name of “exercise”, quickly and orderly participated in the evacuation.

“Don’t panic, it’s just a performance.”

“boom–“

!!!

The conversation was suddenly interrupted. Thinking that this was just a drill, they quickly took the people to the bottom of the building.
Along with the sudden explosion in the sky and the countless blue flames that followed,
The Knights of Favonius looked up at the sky with their mouths wide open, and fell into a daze along with the people.

“.This is, a meteorite?!”

“——Lord Barbatos, why would a meteorite hit Mondstadt directly?! Did someone offend the gods?”

Looking at the huge burning meteorite in the sky, which was shattered into several blue streams of light during its flight,
Faced with this disaster that was beyond human control, the Knights of Favonius, who had never been trained on how to intercept meteorites, were at a loss as to what to do.

But just when some people had already begun to close their eyes and pray, unwilling to face the subsequent tragedy.

Jean, who had been planning and working hard for this moment for a long time, put her hand on her chest and took a deep breath.

I offer my own prayer from the bottom of my heart for those pioneers who broke into the blockade of the Fatui alone:

“——May the ancient blue wind protect you as you move forward, and may the glory of the gods illuminate the future of Mondstadt.”

“.”

The next moment, it was as if he had heard her sincere prayer.

As countless terrified Mond citizens watched, a column of pure white light as dazzling as the scorching sun suddenly rose from the top of the snow-capped mountain to the south of the town.
As the pillar of light rose, an extremely solemn prayer entered the hearts of all Mond people:

Although it was only eight words, it instantly made those scholars who had also suffered an unexpected disaster relax.
——It was nothing else. The prayer that reached their ears was the sacrificial language that was well-known to every household in Xumi.

That is the beginning that is only used when praying for the arrival of God, that is:

——”My Lord and Mighty God, I now give my orders!”
