Cryo Hilichurl Chieftain's March

Mu Yang was confused.

What kind of commission could there be now?

He hoped it wasn't asking him to help out at the city gates again.

In the original storyline, even without Mu Yang, the Knights of Favonius had still held the city.

Now that La Signora had promised not to cause any destruction, what other commission could there be?

Could it be a personal request?

That didn't seem right...

He didn't know alchemy or magic either.

He replied to Lisa.

"Alchemy and magic aren't my strong suits."

"It's combat-related. Please send support to the Knights of Favonius at the city gates."

It really was support for the city gates.

Mu Yang asked.

"Is there a problem with the monsters?"

"With the Knights of Favonius's abilities, defending the city shouldn't be too difficult."

Lisa took out a small bottle of strange potion.

She said she had just returned from the city gates.

This was the pollution taken from the Hilichurls.

"For some reason, these Hilichurls have suddenly become very violent."

"Even experienced adventurers can't handle them when fighting alone."

"Let alone newcomers."

"Right now, it's all thanks to those with Visions who are taking turns holding the front line."

This matter was indeed very strange.

The combat power of Hilichurls shouldn't be this strong.

Lisa continued.

"Researching this isn't my specialty, but Albedo is currently deep in the mountains..."

"Understood. I'll head to the city gates now."

Mu Yang accepted Lisa's request.

He was going there anyway.

And now the Knights of Favonius were practically throwing money at him.

Wasn't this perfect?

Lisa: "Please."

After speaking, Lisa took the vial of filth and continued her research.

She hoped to find a way to subdue the violent Hilichurls soon.

Otherwise, if this continued, the Knights of Favonius would surely suffer heavy losses.

Mu Yang bid farewell to Lisa.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard banging sounds from below.

Mu Yang thought for a moment.

The most likely culprit was Klee, who was confined.

Although little Klee looked like a harmless little girl, she was already a knight with a title in Mondstadt.

The Spark Knight Klee.

A frequent guest of the confinement room.

Logically speaking, Klee should be able to provide significant assistance.

But it had come to this.

Lisa hadn't released her either.

Perhaps she had forgotten.

Mu Yang ignored the sound.

Mondstadt only had two city gates.

He didn't take the mere Hilichurls seriously.

He didn't need little Klee's help.

He left the Knights of Favonius headquarters.

Using his Lightness Skill, he hurried towards the city gate.

At this moment.

On the main bridge leading into Mondstadt.

A beautiful blue figure weaved through the Hilichurls.

Dodging the attacks of the great axes.

"Crystalize! End this deep hatred!"

Eula swung her greatsword, striking the great axe Hilichurl.

Sending the Hilichurl flying.

"Eula, be careful! Go, Bunny!"

Amber provided ranged support.

Using Bunny to block the incoming arrows.

Then, a fiery arrow struck a Hilichurl archer.

It was clear that both of them were starting to tire.

There were too many Hilichurls.

And they had clearly become much stronger.

After several rounds of fighting.

It was impossible not to be tired.

"Time to switch out."

Sister Rosaria, holding her polearm.

Walked forward to relieve Eula.

"You can rest now, it's my turn to appear."

"Phantom Realm: Reign of Serenity!"

"Just as Miss Fischl said."

Amber switched positions with Fischl from the Adventurers' Guild.

Returning to the rear to rest.

Behind the city gate, Barbara was already overwhelmed.

She healed injuries with her healing magic.

While comforting the wounded.

This was the first time she had treated so many people at once.

She was also a bit overexerted.

She shook her head.

'No, no, Barbara, you must keep up with your sister!'

Barbara cheered herself up again.

And re-entered the fray.

When Mu Yang arrived.

He saw this scene.

The Hilichurls had become this strong.

There might be a manipulator behind the scenes, higher ranked than an Abyss Mage.

Mu Yang directly used his Lightness Skill to leap onto the city wall.

Then, using the wall as a stepping stone.

With a light push.

He landed beside Rosaria.

The two stood side by side.

"Backup?"

"Mhm."

Rosaria took down another one with her polearm.

"I hate trouble. Don't slow me down."

Mu Yang knew Rosaria's personality.

Anyone who might pose a threat to Mondstadt...

She remained highly vigilant.

If not for this special situation, She wouldn't be fighting side by side with a stranger like Mu Yang.

Mu Yang only said two words.

"Fall back."

Rosaria was quite displeased at first.

But for some reason, she followed his instructions obediently.

It was as if Mu Yang's words held a convincing magic.

Seeing Rosaria retreat, The Hilichurls found Mu Yang alone on the bridge.

They immediately began beating their war drums.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

Three Hilichurl Chieftains appeared on the plains in the distance.

And they were Frostarm Lawachurls, which were more difficult for Mu Yang's Cryo abilities to handle.

The three Frostarm Lawachurls advanced together, Their steps echoing the rhythm of the war drums.

Behind them, there were also swarms of Hilichurls.

They formed square formations, their steps orderly.

They advanced step by step towards Mondstadt.

Rosaria frowned deeply.

"What's going on with these monsters? With their intelligence, how could they possibly march in formation?"

Eula and Amber had only just rested for a moment.

They felt the ground shake and ran out to investigate.

The two were stunned by the sight.

They often cleared Hilichurl camps during patrols.

That was a simple task.

The Hilichurls rarely coordinated their attacks.

They attacked purely on instinct.

They had never seen such an organized marching force.

Even the experienced Eula and Amber were shocked.

Not to mention the trainee Knights on their first battlefield, And some novice adventurers.

Upon seeing this scene, some of them

Their legs went weak, and they collapsed onto the ground.

"What do we do? Is Mondstadt really going to fall?"

The atmosphere grew desperate.

A sweet singing voice drifted from behind everyone.

It was Barbara!

Barbara sensed the abnormality of the battle ahead and

Came out to investigate as well.

Seeing everyone's dejected state, She sang an inspiring song.

Once the song was finished.

She spoke to those present.

"Cheer up, Lord Barbatos will surely protect us."

"He will definitely protect Mondstadt!"

Encouraged by Barbara's singing and words.

The crowd got up from the ground.

And re-organized their equipment.

They formed a small defensive formation.

Although their numbers couldn't compare to the Hilichurls.

Everyone was filled with confidence.

"That's right, Lord Barbatos will surely lead us to victory!"

"By the winds!"

"By the winds!"

Rosaria clicked her tongue.

"Instead of praying to Lord Barbatos, why don't you look at this new helper?"

"He doesn't seem scared at all."

At this moment, Mu Yang stood on the bridge.

Giving off the aura of one man holding the pass against ten thousand.

Watching the Hilichurl formation steadily advance.

Mu Yang couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Damn it, I wanted to save some Popularity points and refine the settings first."

"It seems that won't work, I'll boost my strength first."

"Deep Blue, add points!"

System: "Golden God, my name is the 'Popularity System'!"
