Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

"Okay, I understand.

If there is any new information later, please summarize it as soon as possible and report it in time."

"——Let's go back first. After this incident is settled,

I will apply for subsidies in the name of Yuhengxing for those staff members who worked overtime due to this incident. Thank you for your hard work."

After finishing the report, Keqing also read through the various reports in her hands.

Because in the analysis, such a change would bring more benefits than disadvantages to Liyue, which is short of land, and it was relieved.

She looked up and spoke caringly to the secretary on duty in front of her, who had obvious dark circles under his eyes because of working overtime with her.

"Thank you, Master Keqing. This is also our responsibility.

If there is any latest news, I will report it to you as soon as possible. I will leave now."

Because the various data he had compiled all night long had been recognized, the exhausted Yuehaiting staff member breathed a sigh of relief.

After bowing and saying goodbye, he left the Seven Star Office, the only office that was usually occupied by people.

“…it actually covers seven countries at the same time.”

". Is this the situation that the scholar mentioned before, which cannot be reversed by human power?"

".If the impact this time is the opposite."

After everyone else left and the office returned to being just me,

Keqing decided to take a short break, but after thinking of some catastrophic possibility, she shook her head helplessly.

——The yield and quality of crops across the continent have increased, which is naturally a thing that outweighs the disadvantages in most cases.

But if this mutation does not bring a blessing, but the exact opposite result, it will truly be a disaster that cannot be handled by human power.

Through the carved wooden window behind her, the purple-haired girl looked up at the cloudless blue sky, recalling the oracle that the Emperor had conveyed to the Seven Stars.

——The content is very brief, just one sentence: "Don't panic, just proceed as usual."

Although no specific reasons have been given, in such a wide-ranging change,

The "harmless" certification given by the gods is undoubtedly the most effective reassurance.

This is also the key reason why Qixing can focus on "adjusting the impact on people" as it does now, rather than being afraid of change itself.

"Dong dong dong."

"Please come in."

Keqing had just finished her break and was about to return to her seat to continue her work.

Before I could sit down, I heard another knock on the door.

She tilted her head in surprise and invited the visitor in as usual.

——Although the seven stars are in charge of different areas, since she is the only one who appears most often in Yuehai Pavilion on weekdays and is the most convenient to contact, all kinds of problems often find their way to Keqing.

Sometimes I would ask her to convey or contact other seven stars.

Sometimes, when there are vague issues in some areas, she will simply handle them directly.

Look up and forward.

A middle-aged man with brown hair and brown eyes, wearing special Qianyan Army leather armor, opened the door and walked into the room.

After clasping his fists slightly, he spoke out his purpose:

"Master Keqing, regarding the recent problem of a large number of monsters and rock dragon lizards escaping from the Nantianmen area and causing chaos on the trade routes and in the villages,

The Thousand Rocks Army has been deployed and is ready to go to reinforce the brothers who were previously stationed in the wilderness."

"——Adult rock dragon lizards are different from ordinary hillbillies and slimes. As extremely powerful monsters, they are no longer something that ordinary people can fight against. If they are not dealt with quickly, they may cause serious damage."

"."

"Just follow the Emperor's previous instructions."

"After you leave, I will try my best to help you get more supplies and materials at the Seven Star Conference. You don't have to worry about logistics."

The Qianyan Army is the foundation of Liyue's national defense. The authority to dispatch the army on a large scale does not belong to any one of the Seven Stars.

In times of crisis, the Thousand Winds Army has a considerable degree of autonomy, and all actions will be aimed at protecting the safety of Liyue residents to the greatest extent possible.

Recalling the oracle that came down during the previous ceremony of inviting the immortals,

Keqing discovered that the Emperor seemed to have foresight and seemed to have anticipated the subsequent changes in the Nantianmen area long ago.

Not only did they give priority to evacuating the surrounding residents, but they also arranged for the Qianyan Army to be stationed near many villages in advance.

After the long-lasting large-scale shock a few days ago, facing those monsters that seemed to have been stimulated and suddenly became much more aggressive,

These preparations that had previously seemed meaningless now came in handy.

After receiving the report, he sent away the Qianyan Army, who were there only to inform him and did not need any additional instructions from Qixing.

Keqing, who has personally handled many major events in recent times, also clearly sensed a tense atmosphere of impending storm.

".South Heaven Gate? What on earth is there that deserves the emperor's attention?"

After thousands of years, under the most ruthless time, the records about the former Rādhāra Dragon King have been almost completely lost.

Countless legends, some true and some false, are scattered in folk books.

In the end, this extremely important piece of history was completely buried among the towering mountains and rocks that have existed in Liyue since ancient times.

I have no idea what kind of existence is in that uninhabited area.

Recalling the Emperor's oracle's serious attitude, which was almost like facing a war,

Feeling that she still had a lot to learn, Keqing sighed and requested a meeting with the other seven stars.

On the south side of Liyue Harbor, on the street where Tiger Rock is eaten.

Accompanied by a emerald green light,

The three gods who returned from Xumi quietly appeared at the edge of the crowd.

After mastering the power of grass and possessing the high-end version of Lanaro Teleport,

Different from the previous situation where he was always taken along by the Emperor,

In any place they had been to before, Lin Feng had now become the fastest among the three.

Because you can go back anytime.

This time when we rushed from Xumi to Liyue, there was no atmosphere of farewell at all. Instead, it felt more like visiting neighbors.

In the blink of an eye, I arrived in Liyue from Xumi.

Ignoring the bard who was feeling particularly resentful because a small tuft of his hair was eaten by cabbage while he was sleeping,

Lin Feng recalled the plan that Zhongli had revealed before he came, looked at the Emperor beside him, and asked:

".So according to what you said, old man, you want me and Wendy not to completely deal with those scattered ordinary monsters.

Are you planning to take advantage of the slight chaos caused by this turbulence in the earth veins to train the Thousand Rock Army?"

"exactly."

Zhongli nodded.

"My friend, you also know that the current Qianyan Army is the successor of the former Qianyan Group. Even if the combat effectiveness is not as good as the former, there is generally no need to worry too much about the military quality."

At this point, Zhongli paused and said:

"——But no matter how glorious the spiritual heritage is, it still needs to be constantly injected with new vitality."

"In the absence of large-scale actual combat exercises, it is possible to ensure that the army still has combat effectiveness in ten, dozens or even a hundred years."

"Then this vacuum period of five hundred years is really too long."

"——I have no doubt that today's soldiers still have the courage and determination to fight the enemy to the end for the land and the people.

But rather than let this lack of practical experience become apparent in future turmoil,

It would be better to polish off the impetuousness and laxity that have accumulated for a long time in advance in this relatively safe situation. "

It did not cover up some of the problems that the Qianyan Army currently has.

Zhongli, who knew best the power of five hundred years of peace, expressed his thoughts very frankly.

"Okay, then when I catch those rock dragon lizards later,

We will take care to leave some of the projected monsters born in the earth veins for military training, so you don't have to worry, old man."

I feel that after five hundred years of peace,

Lin Feng, who found it incredible that the army could still have such combat effectiveness, completely understood Zhongli's thoughts.

Ignoring the fact that a certain country nearby had a dragon causing chaos a few years ago and it was not peaceful at all,

It was decided that in the future, in order to ensure that a fat dragon king would not become a lone commander in the dragon lizard capture operation,

Be more careful and leave some enemies of moderate strength.

Chapter 233 Lin Feng accompanies Zhongli in "training"

On the north side of Liyue Harbor, the trade route leading to Guiliyuan.

Between the wooden fences and wild grass, teams of Thousand Rock Army soldiers wearing brown leather armor and marching in neat formations were rushing along the road towards the many scattered residential areas scattered across the land of Liyue.

——After the unknown earthquakes that originated from the mountains on the northwest side of Liyue a few days ago, the entire Liyue's geomagnetic veins seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes.

Under the influence of the deep resentment in this land, a large number of projected monsters leaked out from the earth veins.

Although most of these projections are low-risk targets such as the Hilliculers or the Treasure Thieves,

There aren't many powerful units like Ruin Hunter, Hill King, or Rock Lizard, so overall they're not that difficult to deal with.

However, due to the large number of these monsters, their distribution is also very wide, and they often wander around the outskirts of the village and around the trade routes.

Therefore, due to the panic among residents and merchants, the daily lives of all Liyue residents were seriously affected.

now,

Faced with such a large-scale mobilization that may not happen once in hundreds of years,

The Qianyan Army, who had no place to use their skills on weekdays and might not even catch up with a formal group action from the time they joined to the time they retired, let alone make any achievements,

They also gathered their strength, hoping to let the emperor see that their successors were not inferior to their predecessors in the Demon War period in terms of courage and martial arts.

——But this is the idea, but the theorem that the more people there are, the more likely things will go wrong is no exception, even in the military.

During the actual deployment, because there had not been such a large-scale operation for a long time, due to lack of experience, many strange problems did arise.

Although there was enough time left, there was no chance to delay the order.

However, these young people, who felt extremely ashamed because of their failed start, also increasingly hoped to prove themselves in the next formal encounter.

The highest point in Liyue Harbor, on top of Yujing Terrace.

Three young men with unique temperaments but seemingly little sense of presence were standing on the edge of the fence, overlooking the Liyue Harbor below.

During this period when the Thousand Rocks Army was undergoing an unprecedented large-scale mobilization and the atmosphere in Liyue was somewhat tense,

After perfectly achieving their predetermined goal in Xumi, the three gods who returned to Liyue Harbor were obviously concerned about something different from the rest of the people.

When the soldiers who had been stationed in military camps all year round set out,

Lin Feng, who was standing on the far right of the three, also withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Zhongli beside him, and said:

". I think apart from the fact that we haven't experienced a large-scale battle for a long time, the mobilization is a little slow, but overall there shouldn't be any major problems.

This situation seems to be much better than you had expected, old man?"

——Although Liyue on Teyvat cannot be directly compared to ancient China, the communication between armies also has wonderful props such as alchemist's magic tools,

But Lin Feng looked at this team, each of whom had a spear in his hand, looking like actors in a costume drama.

However, with the same mobilization speed and precise operation as modern armies, there is still a very serious sense of dislocation.

Is this Teyvat technology? It is really misleading.

Think of the clockwork puppets and muskets that look like futuristic technology in Fontaine, and then look at the "antique army" in Liyue wearing leather armor and holding spears.

If Lin Feng had not noticed the sophisticated arrays and magical instruments in the team, as well as the obviously abnormal physical fitness of the secret alchemists and some personnel who were accompanying the army,
