Seeing Cloud Retainer appear.
Shenhe said seriously, "Master is here, so perhaps my senior sister will come too!"
Hu Tao: "Hehe, she had better come quickly. There might still be a chance to hear her own story!"
Paimon: "I already saw someone go out to notify Ganyu!"
Nearby!
Xiangling reminded her, "Shenhe, shouldn't you go greet your master?"
Shenhe shook her head. "No need! Master does not like these formalities!"
As everyone was discussing!
Signora kept her gaze fixed on the stage, looking at the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens in the visual.
As if she saw the shadow of Rostam in him.
Signora sighed!
I hope in this life, he will not have to suffer again!
...
On the other side of the inn!
Cloud Retainer arrived uninvited, walking unceremoniously up to Morax, moving a chair aside, and standing next to the table.
Zhongli: "You are here!"
Cloud Retainer chuckled lightly. "Hearing someone tell that guy's story, I just had to come!"
Zhongli: "Where is Ganyu?"
Cloud Retainer: "I originally wanted to bring Ganyu along, but unfortunately, I could not find her! Who knows which hillside that girl ran off to and fell asleep on!"
Tartaglia: "..."
Diluc: "..."
Nearby!
The three Raiden sisters, Barbatos, and others saw Cloud Retainer and greeted her with smiles.
Barbatos: "Hehe, as expected of an adeptus, your posture is truly extraordinary!"
Cloud Retainer: "Thank you for the undeserved praise, Anemo Archon!"
The next moment!
Everyone looked back at the stage, waiting for Ling Mo to continue the story.
...
At this moment!
On the stage in the inn!
Ling Mo scanned the room with his gaze. Seeing that everyone had laughed enough, he put down the teacup in his hand.
And began to continue the storytelling!
As Ling Mo spoke, the visual condensed from Electro elements above the inn began to change once again.
In the visual...
It was already night at Tianheng Pass!
Having just won a battle against a wave of gods, everyone was in high spirits.
They lit bonfires on the city walls!
Eating food while discussing the events of the day.
Moon Carver smiled and said, "I killed two gods today. Skybracer, how many did you kill, you kid?"
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens: "Not many, not many. I only slew four!"
Moon Carver was taken aback. "You damn... you are truly a freak! But our bet is not over yet. There will be more god invasions tomorrow!"
Skybracer laughed loudly. "Don't worry, you will never beat me!"
Moon Carver was unconvinced. "That is not necessarily true!"
Nearby!
Cloud Retainer looked around and suddenly asked in confusion, "Where is Ganyu? Where did Ganyu go?"
Moon Carver: "Where else could she go? She got embarrassed by what you said, became afraid of seeing people, and hid in the corner of the city wall!"
Cloud Retainer said nonchalantly, "Cough, cough, actually, I was just chatting with her! I am very good at chatting!"
Moon Carver: "..."
There are many rumors in Liyue that cannot be believed!
For example, the claim that Cloud Retainer is good at chatting is the biggest rumor of all.
The most crucial part is!
As Cloud Retainer herself, she is mysteriously confident and truly believes she is good at chatting.
Just at this moment!
A Millelith commander walked over to report the situation. "Reporting to the four adepti, there were four thousand Millelith soldiers who participated in the battle today. Nine hundred and seventy-four died in battle, and seven hundred and eighty were severely injured and can no longer fight!"
While reporting the situation!
The Millelith commander's mood was low.
In just one day, nearly a thousand soldiers died in battle!
If there are more god invasions!
It will not take many days for the Millelith soldiers to be completely wiped out.
Hearing this information!
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens sighed and said, "Judging from the current information, today's battle was likely just a probe by the gods!"
"Tomorrow will be the real battle!"
Although today's battle was already brutal enough.
But... judging from the existing information, a large number of gods have not yet appeared.
By tomorrow!
The gods will definitely gather a large amount of troops and launch an attack on a single pass.
When that time comes!
Whether it is Tianheng Pass or Tianheng North Pass, both could become the target of the gods' attack.
Therefore, the adepti were all prepared!
If the main force of the gods attacked Tianheng Pass, they would defend it to the death.
If the gods attacked Tianheng North Pass, they would send two or three adepti to support and help Tianheng North Pass hold the line.
That night!
Except for Ganyu, who hid in the corner of the city wall, no one could fall asleep.
Until dawn the next day!
The Millelith soldiers picked up their weapons one after another, and the yakshas stood on the city walls to keep watch.
Waiting for the invasion of the gods.
But it was very strange!
They waited until noon, but there was no sign of the gods.
Could it be that their previous deduction was wrong?
Were there only this many gods to begin with?
Had they completely defeated the gods?
Although this was a possibility, neither the yakshas nor the Millelith soldiers dared to let their guard down.
Cloud Retainer frowned. "I will go scout ahead!"
As soon as the words fell!
Cloud Retainer spread her wings and soared, flying up into the sky.
To observe the scene beyond the Tianheng Mountains.
But after looking for a long time, she did not see any trace of the gods.
Did the gods really give up attacking Tianheng Pass?
And turned to attack Tianheng North Pass instead?
After scouting, Cloud Retainer flew back and shared this information with the other three adepti.
Everyone was very puzzled!
Hesitating whether to go support Tianheng North Pass or continue to guard their current position.
Just as the four adepti were hesitating!
Suddenly, a Millelith soldier ran over from behind. "Reporting to the four adepti, a message from Tianheng North Pass! More than twenty gods have appeared simultaneously. Tianheng North Pass can barely hold on!"
After hearing this news!
Moon Carver was furious. "Damn it, we were played by the gods! They were scared off by us yesterday, so they never intended to attack Tianheng Pass today. Instead, they gathered all their forces to attack Tianheng North Pass!"
Mountain Shaper also said seriously, "More than twenty gods are absolutely beyond what Tianheng North Pass can withstand. We must go support them!"
Compared to the four adepti at Tianheng Pass!
The four adepti at Tianheng North Pass were not skilled in combat. Dealing with ten gods was already their limit.
If twenty gods appeared together, Tianheng North Pass would likely be breached.
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens: "I will go too!"
Xiao: "I will go too!"
Just as everyone was scrambling to go support Tianheng North Pass.
Cloud Retainer said calmly, "If we all go to support, what about Tianheng Pass? If the gods appear, the yakshas and Millelith soldiers will not be able to hold them off at all!"
Mountain Shaper: "Moon Carver and the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens should stay. Let Cloud Retainer and me go support. The two of us are the fastest!"
Moon Carver: "There are no gods attacking here, so one adeptus guarding is enough! I will go support too!"
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens: "..."
Although he was very unwilling!
But once the three adepti left, the task of guarding Tianheng Pass would fall solely on the shoulders of the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens.
