Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

At noon, in the association's ward, Sanjay slowly opened his eyes. However, when he looked out of the ward from the ceiling, he was shocked by what he saw.

At this time, not only the captains of each high-level mercenary team, but also all the managers of the association gathered in the room.

"Mr. Sanjay, you're awake. How are you? Are you feeling well?" asked a short-haired woman in work clothes.

However, after waking up, Sanjie did not answer the woman's question. Instead, he held her hand and showed an anxious expression: "Quick, Miss Catherine, tell everyone, there are undead monsters in the abandoned village to the west. Captain Phyllis and the others have already covered my escape... It's too late now!"

Catherine quickly calmed down the agitated Sanjay and said, "Calm down, Mr. Sanjay, can you first explain what happened?"

Sanjie's pupils contracted violently, as if he had seen a terrifying scene again. "We were just going to the village to investigate the unusual noise as usual, but as soon as we entered the village, fog rose around us, and then those guys came out!"

"Those guys?" asked the middle-aged steward with a scar on his face. "Are you saying that you saw more than one monster?"

"Yes, those monsters are dressed as knights. Some hold swords and shields, some hold bows, some hold spears, and some even ride undead horses. And... our attacks have no effect on them at all!" Sanjie's voice began to tremble.

After hearing these words, the ward, which had been bustling just moments before, fell silent. Several senior mercenary captains exchanged glances, their eyes filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

"Monsters dressed in knight costumes, and there's more than one kind... This is more than an ordinary A-rank team can handle."

"So what do we do now? Should we report the situation to the military?"

The chubby steward said loudly, "It's too late anyway. Commander Dongfang Lei led his men out of the city early this morning to encircle and suppress the barbarians. Judging by the timeline, it won't be that soon!"

"That means we can only rely on ourselves now..." said the old man.

"I think, if all else fails, we should just go to the Chaos Thunder Tomb to visit Lord Lei Zun." said the steward wearing a monocle.

"Absolutely not. If Lord Lei Zun intervenes, there will be no life in this area of ​​hundreds of miles!" said the old man.

"Then we can't just sit there and wait. What if those undead knights come out of the old village and attack here? We may not be able to resist them alone!" Scar Manager roared loudly, and the scars on his face turned red with excitement.

The ward was once again engulfed in a noisy argument. Just then, Yite, along with Fengling, Kuangdao, and Hongtao, squeezed in from the crowded doorway.

"If you don't mind, can you let us handle this matter?" It said with a smile.

"You guys?" Scar's steward looked at the four people with disbelief, "You must be joking! You've only been here a few days!"

"Yes, Brother Ivan, although you captured a barbarian soldier for us yesterday, compared with ordinary monsters, undead monsters are by no means easy to deal with. They are dead monsters, and some can even extract the fear of us humans for their own use." Rex said worriedly.

"Having said that, Brother Lei has no right to say that to me. After all, you were the first one to stand up and set out to rescue people." It smiled slightly, then said with his arms folded.

"But no matter what, just the few of you..."

Before she finished speaking, Feng Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, our captain specializes in these matters. We've explored many ruins before, and the danger levels there are no less than what you describe."

"That's right, so there's absolutely no problem leaving it to us." It patted his chest and smiled.

However, the association's manager does not think so.

"Humph, ridiculous. The monster that Sanjie was talking about is a monster that even ordinary contractors find difficult to deal with. What guarantee can you guys give us?" said the old manager.

Hearing this, It smiled softly. "Indeed, undead monsters are indeed difficult to deal with, but there are always exceptions. Lin's greatest strength is the barrier, which can ensure everyone's safety. Tao is not just an ordinary tank, and there are countless cases of him defeating the enemy with force. And Xiaodao has extremely strong reconnaissance capabilities, coupled with his assassin-type combat talent, no monster has ever survived his hands."

"Tsk, you're talking big, but who knows if you really have the ability to do that?"

"That's right. Besides, you've only been here for a day. Even if we can be assured, I'm afraid there are others who might not be as well."

The man wearing a monocle and another therapist echoed this.

Seeing this, Yi Te smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, if you are worried, you can come with us."

"Do you want us to die with you?"

"Yes, this is not a question of whether to be at ease or not, but a crisis that concerns the lives of many people!"

The crowd started clamoring again.

Hearing this, Iter had no choice but to put on a compromise. He spread his hands and said, "Alright, but I still suggest that the high-ranking mercenaries establish a blockade around the village first, so that we can prepare for any unexpected events in the future."

Hearing this, the old steward lowered his head and began to think. "That's not a problem, all right? Okay, then let Hurricane, Fangs, and other teams stationed outside the village. No one will be allowed to enter or leave the village until a countermeasure is devised!"

"Yes!" everyone shouted in unison.

……

As time passed, the mercenary team led by Hurricane came to the outskirts of the village in batches and established a temporary camp about 500 meters away from the village.

At this time, Rex was standing on a high place, observing through a telescope with a frown on his face.

"It's strange why there's no movement? Sanjay clearly said there were several undead knights in the village."

"Maybe it's because we didn't enter that area." said the therapist next to Rex.

Hearing this, he put down the telescope and continued, "Yes, this safe distance was calculated by Brother Ivan. I don't know where he got the information from, but judging by their skills, they should not be inferior to any high-level team."

"Indeed, it's just a pity. I thought I could ask them for advice, but they chose to stay in the city." The therapist shrugged and spread his hands helplessly.

"It's probably the Association's decision," Rex continued. "They advocated acting alone. I'm afraid the Association is worried that their rash intrusion might trigger a greater crisis, so they're keeping them in the city on standby."

The therapist nodded thoughtfully. "But speaking of which, Ivan is indeed a bit strange."

"What do you mean?" asked the mage teammate beside him.

"Because although they are a team, they all advocate independent action. You also witnessed his strength yesterday. That is not the ability of ordinary mercenaries."

The wizard nodded. "That's true. Well, could it be that Ivan and the others are the contractors of a certain guardian? They also said before that they came from the Three Harbors. Could it be..."

"That's possible." The therapist turned around, "But I feel like I've seen him and his teammates somewhere before..."
