Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

After parting with Yaohui, Mo Yan and Kailin followed Diablo around in circles and finally arrived at the dock.

At this time, Kailin panted, "I'm so tired. If you wanted to come to the dock, why didn't you just say so? Why are you taking us around so much?"

"I'm doing this to conceal my identity. After all, our identities are too conspicuous, and now the eight guardians are almost all gathered in the Three Harbors. To avoid a situation like the Evil Fiend, I have no choice but to do this." Diablo smiled.

He stopped and stood at the edge of the pier, the sea breeze blowing his hair slightly. He looked at the sparkling sea in the distance, where several old sailboats were anchored.

Next to it is a cargo ship carrying goods. People are getting on and off, carrying goods. The noise is mixed with the cries of seagulls and the sound of waves hitting the shore, full of vitality.

Diablo cast his gaze upon the busy workers, as if searching for someone among them.

"What are you looking for?" Mo Yan couldn't help but ask. He followed his gaze, but only saw a busy scene.

Diablo didn't answer, but soon they followed the direction he was looking and saw the young man again in the crowd.

At this time, he was carrying sacks and delivering goods into the cabin.

"Is it him? He's actually working here as a helper?" Karen asked in surprise.

Mo Yan looked at Diablo and asked softly, "Why, do you know each other?"

Diablo nodded slightly.

"His name is Zeta. He's one of the crew members here and also a victim of the Sangyang Rebellion. After he left Sangang Bay on the cargo ship, the Sangyang advance team landed, and his family was abducted at that time, becoming sacrifices in the experiment."

"How could this happen..." Karen exclaimed, and this cry immediately attracted the attention of the workers in the distance. Some of them stopped what they were doing and turned their heads.

"Hey, you're being too loud." Mo Yan scolded in a low voice.

Kailin subconsciously covered her mouth, her eyes rolled, and she put her arm around Mo Yan's right arm, saying in a voice that was a little longing: "No~ We finally came to the beach, so we must take a boat first~"

Seeing this, Mo Yan's face darkened. He really didn't expect her to act like this when she came back.

However, the Sangyang Rebellion has not yet completely occurred. If we explain it rashly, we may be regarded as an accomplice in creating chaos and cause unnecessary trouble.

Helplessly, Mo Yan could only bite the bullet and cooperate with Kailin, forcing a slightly stiff smile on his face and nodding to the workers who were looking at him, as if they were just an ordinary couple who came to the beach to play and make some noise.

Seeing this, most of the workers smiled understandingly or kindly, and returned to their work, no longer paying attention to them.

Diablo's lips curled up slightly, seeming to appreciate Kailin's quick thinking. "Not bad."

"Of course, that's who I am!" Karen said proudly, rubbing her nose.

"Come on, don't let it shine brightly just because of a little sunshine." Mo Yan complained with his hands folded.

"None of your business." Kailin said coldly.

"Okay, let me continue to see what happens next." Diablo chuckled.

"After that?" Kailin looked confused.

However, just as he finished speaking, they arrived at an island in the blink of an eye. That island was the place where they had a decisive battle with the leader of the Sangyang bandits, Hiroo Eijiro.

"This is it!" Karen looked around in surprise.

The sky had already darkened before their eyes, and only the faint light of a distant fire illuminated the night scene for them.

Karin was looking around and was about to speak when suddenly, fierce shouts and cries of killing were heard in the distance. The sound came from far away, carrying the breath of blood and despair, and instantly tore through the silence of the night.

"What's going on?" Karen looked towards the source of the sound in surprise.

They entered the forest and, relying on the cover of the trees, quickly moved towards the direction where the sound came from.

They pushed aside the last bush, and the sight before them took their breath away.

The light of the torches flickered, illuminating twisted and hideous faces. Warriors in uniform ghost armor, holding sharp blades, formed a battle formation and pressed forward step by step.

They were engaged by a mixed group of troops, some wearing worn but uniform leather armor and armed with standard spears and scimitars, clearly the local garrison.

Many fishermen and ordinary residents who heard the news rushed to the scene and spontaneously joined the resistance. They clutched improvised weapons—heavy oars, sharp harpoons, even polished woodcutters—and fought alongside the regular troops, relying on their familiarity with the terrain and their unwavering courage to defend their homes and homes.

"This is..." Kailin curled up, obviously frightened by the scene before her.

"They were the coastal garrison, engaged in battle by the advance guard of the Sanyang people," Diablo replied. "That night, they were stationed along the coast as usual, but the advance guard was caught off guard. They disembarked in a split second, breaching the heavy defenses. Ultimately, after a fierce battle, the garrison and militia were completely annihilated. Only two men managed to break through the siege, bringing word of the enemy invasion back home."

Before he finished speaking, the situation on the battlefield had taken a sharp turn for the worse.

The Sangyang army advanced like a meat grinder, forcing the resistance back. Men continued to fall, their blood staining the beach and the forest floor red. Screams and the clash of weapons filled the air.

"Hold on! For our homeland!" A defender who seemed to be a leader shouted at the top of his lungs, swung his sword to knock down a warrior who rushed forward, but was then pierced by several spears at the same time and died heroically.

The resistance began to crumble.

At that moment, two figures on swift horses suddenly rushed out from the battle group. They were both wounded and ran desperately towards the dense forest deep in the island without looking back. Several Sangyang people immediately gave chase, and arrows whizzed past them.

"Wait a minute, isn't that Qianshang and Jiexiang?" Kailin asked in surprise again.

"It seems you've already met them," Diablo replied softly. "Yes, those two were Tiansu and Tianjie, two of the Seven Stars. They risked their lives to break through the encirclement and report the news of the Sangyang invasion to the mainland. However, they were deceived by treacherous people, who not only concealed the tragic news but also labeled them deserters. It wasn't until the news of the Sangyang people's occupation of the Three Harbors, burning, killing, and looting, spread throughout the mainland, that the two were finally cleared of their grievances. But by then, the Sangyang advance troops had already established a foothold, and subsequent armies had also landed, and the flames of war on the mainland had been fully ignited."

"How could this be possible? That traitor deserves to be cut into pieces!" Karen was filled with righteous indignation.

At this time, Mo Yan turned around and asked, "But didn't you tell Yaohui the truth before? Even so, can't it change the tragedy that happened here?"

"Yes, logically speaking, now that they know the truth, Linhui's army should take it seriously. Why would they still..." Kailin agreed.
