Chapter 62: The Other Side of the River
"That's right. Ordinary thieves and bandits don't have the courage to take the initiative to attack the Knights' base. They don't have that much courage. Even if there are really some extraordinary treasures here, they dare not."
Eula said calmly, "About half a month ago, the guerrilla team discovered the abnormal gathering of treasure-stealing groups here. After arresting two members of the treasure-stealing group and asking them, they learned that they saw the treasure here in an ancient book, so they all rushed here."
"Although the treasure-stealing group is obsessed with the treasure, they all recognize the situation. After the guerrilla team arrived and gave a warning, although they were unwilling, they had to disperse. But no I thought that the day before I asked the Knights for help, those scattered treasure-stealing groups came back again, and they looked fearless. "
"I noticed something was wrong, and I was alert and prepared for war in advance. Sure enough, when it got dark, these treasure-stealing groups launched the first attack."
Eula paused, seeming a little surprised and puzzled: "It's hard to imagine that those treasure-stealing groups who love treasures more than their lives, although they were easily resisted, collapsed when faced with counterattacks. But this courage to attack the Knights is something that ordinary treasure-stealing groups cannot have."
"You didn't directly discover the [Faints]." Kaia said firmly.
"That's right, those cunning guys won't show their hands and feet so directly."
Eula nodded and said, "Although the current relationship between Mondstadt and Solstice is not friendly, it is definitely not bad. Especially after the expedition team left, the two countries have reached a lot of cooperation."
"So, the key lies in the treasure?"
Kaeya raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously: "What kind of treasure can make the treasure-stealing team act out of character and the Fatui are willing to provide support?"
"I don't know, I only know that the treasure is in a ruin."
"Where is the location of the treasure-stealing team?"
"This is the current dilemma."
Eula She sighed and said, "The initial misjudgment gave the Fatui and the Treasure Stealers time to prepare. Now they have entered the ruins where the treasure is hidden and set up defenses at the entrance to block the Knights' footsteps."
"Is it difficult to attack the ruins?"
"It's difficult. At least the guerrilla team alone cannot achieve a crushing situation."
Eula pursed her lips: "And the ruins are complicated inside, and it is too risky to enter rashly. My idea is to wait for these treasure stealing groups to come out and then capture them one by one."
Anyway, the ruins are there and they won't run away. No matter what treasure the treasure stealing group wants to find, they will always come out. That's why she asked Mondstadt for help - the guerrilla team has too few people to block the entire ruins.
"Then there is only one doubt left."
Kaia knocked on the table, "Could this treasure be some kind of large-scale lethal weapon?"
The things that the Fatui are interested in are definitely not regular treasures. It is not impossible that the ruins contain weapons left over from the Demon War period.
"That's right, so the Knights can wait, but they can't just wait." Eula looked at Kaeya with a serious expression: "We need people to sneak behind the enemy, Kaeya, are you sure?"
"To be honest, I'm not sure at all."
Kaeya spread his hands, "My features are too conspicuous. At least there is no other person wearing an eye patch in Mondstadt, except for the little girl who raises crows."
". I remember your eyes are not injured."
"This is my insistence, Captain Eula. Do you know how the injury on my eyes came about?"
Kaeya looked serious: "This is a memorial left to me by that battle, my pride, and proof of my successful defense of Mondstadt. Asking me to take off the eye patch is even more sad than Master Diluc's order to prohibit Angel's Gift from selling [Midnight Death] to me."
Eula: "."
Among the many colleagues in the Knights, the one she couldn't understand the most was this cavalry captain who always insisted on wearing an eye patch even though his eyes were fine.
Eula guessed the reason why he wore an eye patch, but it was definitely not a proud proof of the battle to defend Mondstadt. In order to adapt to the darkness, they can also remain unaffected in certain emergencies and give the enemy a heavy blow - this guess is more reliable than what Kaeya said himself.
"Besides, there are people here who are more suitable for infiltration."
Kaeya cast his eyes on Chen Tianfeng with a smile in his eyes: "What do you think, Mr. Chen?"
Eula raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, and turned her eyes to look at Chen Tianfeng.
"I have a question."
Chen Tianfeng thought for a few seconds, and seemed to ask seriously: "Do you two care about the casualties of the treasure robbers and the Fatui?"
"It would be good to capture them alive, but if the resistance is too fierce, I don't mind sending him to sleep." Eula didn't hesitate.
"Me too." Kaiya echoed, then was a little puzzled: "Why are you asking this, Mr. Chen?"
"Do you know that there is a magical place in Inazuma, called [Wuxiang Blade Narrow Space]?"
Chen Tianfeng did not answer directly, and said: "It is said that it is the knife mark left by the Thunder God [Wuxiang's Blade], which is the embodiment of the Thunder God's power and the symbol of the ultimate martial arts of the gods. I am obsessed with swordsmanship and have been beside the narrow space to comprehend the true meaning of the gods' martial arts."
"Oh? It sounds like Mr. Chen has gained a lot?"
Kaia naturally knew that Chen Tianfeng's words were completely false. A few days ago at the Dawn Winery, this guy said that he had never left Liyue. Mondstadt was his first stop in his travels among the countries. Now he didn't know when he had been to Inazuma.
——He can lie without changing his face and speak without hesitation. He is also gifted.
"I'm ashamed, I've been sitting here for a long time, but I've only learned a little bit about it."
Chen Tianfeng, who adhered to the way of speaking "Everything in the past is just a prologue" shook his head and sighed: "The gods are too majestic. Even if I try my best, I can't compare to them."
Kaia deeply agreed: "Yes, humans are still too fragile in front of gods."
"Tuk-tuk!"
Youla knocked on the table and took a breath: "You two! It's an emergency. Can you just tell me what you have to say?"
Chen Tianfeng and Kaia looked at each other, smacking their lips with regret, and then glanced at Youla, making the Splash Knight couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Ahem, that's right."
Chen Tianfeng coughed lightly, "I figured out a forbidden technique in the Wuxiang Blade, which can change the environment in a short time and make it unsuitable for survival. Because of this, I feel that this technique is too killing and harmful to the world. And, it must not be used lightly, so I would like to ask you two for your thoughts.”
Among the many techniques for using the wind element that Wendy left in God's Eye, there is a technique to use the flowing wind to explore the terrain, and another technique to let the wind element carry water vapor and transform into a human-shaped humidifier.
Chen Tianfeng feels that these two functions are very practical and suitable for him.
For example, let the blood vaporize and be carried by the flowing wind into the enemy's hiding place.
The effect is comparable to poison gas bombs.
"How far can it be done?"
Kaiya's eyes flickered, trying his best to distinguish the authenticity of Chen Tianfeng's words, while silently raising his danger level in his heart.
"No one is left, all of them die." Chen Tianfeng smiled gently: "I will call this style, [Burial on the other side]."
Since Kaia wants to test, let's tell the truth, the whole big one.
However, in Kaia's mind, he was a person who told lies and talked nonsense more naturally than breathing. He probably didn't believe it and thought that he was deliberately bragging and taking the opportunity to raise the price, and that he was a greedy guy.
As we all know, greedy guys are most likely to be blinded by greed, which is their biggest weakness.
In this way, Kaia knows his "weakness", which should lower his vigilance towards himself, saving him from trying every means to create "coincidences" to annoy him. It doesn't matter if the plan doesn't work, it's just a casual move, and it can disgust Kaiya. It's good to take a break. Chen Tianfeng's smile remained unchanged and his expression was relaxed.
