"We soldiers of the Millelith stand ready to march with the Tianquan!"
"The Liyue Qixing await the Empress's orders to strike down the enemy!"
"The True Adepti's followers are here! We shall protect Liyue!"
Liyue's unity was virtually unprecedented.
The cultural legacy of a great nation spanning millennia had rooted solidarity deep in its people's bones.
A people who had endured the Archon War and restored their prosperity in an astonishingly short time were a miracle on Teyvat.
Yet someone had dared to challenge Liyue today. They would learn what it meant for an army to collapse like a landslide!
Ningguang nodded in satisfaction. The great Millelith army was ready for war, with True Adepti and Immortals lending their aid, although the enemy's full strength remained unknown.
"Although this is not yet the full extent of Liyue's military strength, it is enough to make forces such as the Knights of Favonius and the Shogunate Army wary. What could the enemy possibly be thinking, challenging Liyue?"
Ningguang made preparations on two fronts.
She sent the two True Adepti, Mountain Shaper and Moon-Carver, back to guard Liyue Harbor. Nothing could be allowed to happen to its residents.
Meanwhile, the army's elite scouts set out again, swiftly gathering intelligence on the enemy.
Ningguang divided the Millelith and their followers into three groups, sending them out toward the left and right flanks.
This would prevent the enemy from surrounding them while also giving them room for strategic countermeasures.
When facing an enemy, the people of Liyue were as cautious as their Rex Lapis, Lin Yi, accounting for every possibility they could think of.
If they were going to plan, they would leave nothing out. Even if something unexpected happened, it would not be for lack of preparation.
Ningguang had been influenced by this trait
