The Truth About the Knight of Boreas

[So this was the truth behind the uprising of Mondstadt's people in the era of Old Mondstadt?]

[A knight from the North Wind took a Mondstadt maiden's hand, and together they raised the banner of rebellion. That's so romantic!]

[Did someone travel back thousands of years to Mondstadt to film this video? It's unbelievably clear and realistic!]

[The power of the people is limitless! A single spark can start a prairie fire!]

As one comment after another crossed the screen, events in the video began to move forward in leaps and bounds.

The Knight of Boreas traveled across Old Mondstadt with the maiden, giving speeches, recruiting troops, and forging alliances. Before long, they had raised a massive rebel army and launched an attack on the God of Tornadoes' cities.

Thanks to the Knight of Boreas's flawless planning, coupled with his own charges at the front, the rebels won one victory after another.

At the same time, the maiden became the rebel army's spiritual totem, a symbol of hope for the people.

The knight and the maiden pressed forward side by side, forming a deep bond, and eventually reached the walls of the god's city.

"The final battle is almost upon us. Can we really win?"

Doubt showed on the maiden's face. She could hardly imagine them actually achieving victory in the end.

The Knight of Boreas wore a grave expression. He seemed to sense something weighing heavily upon him.

But in the end, he spoke with conviction. "We will win. No matter the cost, we will win."

"The cost..."

Hearing the knight's words, the maiden felt a vague sense of unease for reasons she couldn't explain.

The wind spirit behind her floated up a little, as though trying to soothe her worries.

And so they began their assault on Old Mondstadt, challenging the god atop the tower within this city of swirling storms.

"Come on."

At some point, Ronova's gaze had become completely absorbed by the scenes in the video.

She felt as though she had completely put herself in the maiden's place, challenging the overbearing tyrant alongside the knight who protected her.

Next, the pace of the footage quickened once more.

The rebel army swiftly captured the key strongholds in the various cities and quickly defeated the guards, who had little fighting ability or will to fight.

At this point, there was undoubtedly only one thing left to do.

Challenge the real big boss, Decarabian, the God of Storms.

"Can they win?"

At this point, Ronova finally began to rationally assess the gap in strength between the two sides.

No matter how powerful the Knight of Boreas was, he was still only a mortal in the end.

The maiden was an ordinary person, even more frail and powerless.

Together, they might have been able to lead the rebels to defeat Old Mondstadt's defenders, but how could they stand against the terrifying god?

Ronova thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of a way they could win.

Just then, the video shifted. The rebel army, which had been surging forward with unstoppable momentum, finally encountered its greatest obstacle.

Decarabian, the God of Storms, appeared before the rebels.

"Mortals, you dare challenge me. Your courage is commendable indeed!"

"But have you considered this?"

"Without the protection of this city of storms, how would you frail creatures survive in Mondstadt, a land of bitter wind and snow?!"

Decarabian, the God of Storms, put the question to the people of Mondstadt before him.

His question struck at their very souls and lay at the heart of every issue.

Ancient Mondstadt was a remote, frigid land of hardship, devoid of warmth. Had the God of Tornadoes not established a shelter here and taken in Mondstadt's people, no one could possibly have survived in such a harsh environment.

For a moment, the rebels were deeply shaken. Many of the warriors who had risen against the tyrant couldn't help questioning their beliefs.

At this critical moment, the maiden stepped forward.

She looked at the God of Storms and answered:

"Humans aren't such fragile creatures. No matter how cold or difficult the land of Mondstadt is, we'll build shelter with our own hands and seek true happiness!"

"No matter how painful or despairing the road to happiness may be, we'll pursue it on our own two feet, rather than spend our lives in this oppressive, terrifying city of storms!"

"Humans are birds who yearn for freedom. How could we ever remain trapped in a cage forever?!"

The maiden's voice rang out clear and loud, utterly shattering the God of Storms' challenge.

Seeing this, the viewers voiced their admiration and approval!

[That's our Mondstadt ancestor for you. Exactly, we're Mondstadt people who yearn for freedom]

[Every Mondstadt person is free. Even approaching death won't make us give up our freedom]

[God of Storms, you don't understand humans at all!]

[Defeat this god and carve out tomorrow with our own hands!]

Amid the cries of countless viewers, the final battle between the rebels and the god Decarabian officially began.

But it was the exact opposite of what people had expected.

Faced with the god's might, the rebels had no power to resist whatsoever.

The gap between the two sides was like that between an adult and an infant.

No matter how many sacrifices the rebels made or what price they paid, they could hardly harm a hair on the terrifying god's head.

In the end, even the maiden was captured by the god, helpless as a fish on a chopping block.

[No, don't die!]

[Sigh, human strength is far too insignificant. In the end, they're no match for a god]

[Why isn't the Knight of Boreas fighting? Why is he just standing there!]

[Please, Knight of Boreas, hurry and save her]

As if he had heard the viewers' pleas, the Knight of Boreas, who had been standing in place, suddenly rushed out.

Wielding a two-handed greatsword, he reached the God of Tornadoes at astonishing speed and rescued the maiden from the god's grasp.

"The scent of the Wolf of the North... Are you a descendant of Andrius?"

Decarabian realized the truth about the Knight of Boreas and couldn't help but sneer. "A mere wolf cub wearing human skin, and you think you can overthrow the dynasty I built?!"

With that, Decarabian conjured a tremendous storm. The Knight of Boreas was instantly swept up in it, left at death's door.

At this moment of despair, the knight shoved the maiden away from him and called out, "Leave this place. As long as you're alive, there's still hope for everything."

"What about you?"

"I am the embodiment of the North Wind, destined to become a gentle breeze that protects."

The Knight of Boreas spoke with composure and fearlessness.

Only at that moment did he finally remove his helmet and reveal his true face.

He was not the wolf cub the God of Tornadoes had called him, but a genuine human.

Yet he seemed to have picked up many wolfish habits, and his gaze and movements radiated a beastlike ferocity.

-An abandoned infant with neither father nor mother, a "Lupical" fortunate enough to be taken in by a pack of wolves.

That was the Knight of Boreas's true identity.

Yet despite having grown up as a wolf, he had ultimately chosen to give everything for the humans of Mondstadt.

Seeing this, every viewer was moved, their expressions complicated.
