Chapter 78 - The Rise of Mondstadt

The terrifying Dragon Breath fell among the Hilichurl horde.

Burning these frail enemies into a pile of ashes on the spot.

All the Knights of Favonius and the residents of Mondstadt on the city walls.

Stared at this scene in dumbfounded amazement, completely not expecting such a thing to happen.

What... What happened?

Wasn't Stormterror an enemy of Mondstadt?

Now that a Hilichurl siege, a scene almost unheard of for years, has occurred.

The correct course of action should be to cooperate with the Hilichurl to attack Mondstadt.

And completely destroy this city it once protected, right?

But now...

Watching Stormterror, after unleashing its breath, dive down at the Hilichurl without hesitation.

While taking out a group of Hilichurl with its claws and wings.

It also rescued two Knights of Favonius who happened to be surrounded.

Everyone's minds were filled with extremely strange thoughts.

They simply couldn't comprehend what was happening before their eyes.

"I say, what are you all still standing there for?"

Looking at the Knights of Favonius who were still in a daze on the scene.

Kai sighed, reluctantly taking on the role of encouraging them.

"Under the leadership of Jean."

"Dvalin, the Dragon of the East, has returned to Mondstadt."

"He is now making amends for everything he did before."

"Aren't you going to pick up your weapons, eliminate these Hilichurl, and protect Mondstadt?"

Kai's simple words, like a clap of thunder, instantly rang out in everyone's ears.

Although separated by an extremely long distance.

But through certain special means, even the residents on the city walls could hear clearly.

"Dvalin... has returned to Mondstadt?"

"Kai, you're not lying to us, are you?"

The nearby Knights of Favonius said, utterly incredulous.

Even their voices trembled slightly.

For them, the name Dvalin.

Held a very different meaning.

As one of the former Four Winds.

He betrayed the city he protected and became a demonic dragon that threatened all of Mondstadt.

This was undoubtedly equivalent to the destruction of faith for the Knights of Favonius.

Now to hear the news that Dvalin was returning, this was undoubtedly very heartening news.

"Of course, otherwise, what do you think Jean has been busy with all this time?"

The entire Knights of Favonius was well aware that Kai was Jean's husband.

Therefore, the news he spoke had extremely high credibility.

Especially now, Dvalin was indeed, with an extremely powerful stance.

Attacking the Hilichurl on the scene.

This also lent more credibility to what Kai had just said.

For a time... The morale of the entire Knights of Favonius seemed to have greatly increased.

"Since that's the case, we can't just sit back and do nothing!"

"Eliminate these Hilichurl!"

With Dvalin holding the line, the Knights of Favonius, who had initially felt some pressure.

Their morale instantly greatly improved.

They directly brandished their weapons, continuously attacking the surrounding Hilichurl.

Soon, they cleared a safe area on the surrounding ground.

And at this moment... After a hurried rush, Jean had also arrived on the city walls of Mondstadt.

Watching Dvalin in the distance cooperating with the Knights of Favonius.

Unleashing an unceasing offensive against the attacking Hilichurl.

She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then, a joyous smile involuntarily appeared on her delicate face.

She clearly understood what had happened.

"Kai... he succeeded?"

"What's going on?"

A moment later... Anastasia also led the Fatui to the city walls.

Seeing the fierce battle erupting outside the city, and Dvalin's powerful offensive unfolding in the sky.

She couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Clearly, this scene completely exceeded her expectations.

"But... didn't Dvalin become Stormterror and turn against Mondstadt?

Why would it help attack Hilichurl?

According to the original plan, arriving at the city wall at this moment...

What I should have seen was the Knights of Favonius struggling, on the verge of defeat, under the combined siege of Hilichurl and Stormterror.

That way, I could naturally accept Jean's request.

Leading the Fatui, in front of all the Citizens of Mondstadt.

Saving their Knights of Favonius.

But now... this dragon, it didn't attack the Knights of Favonius?

"What exactly is going on?"

"Stormterror... does it hate Hilichurl more than Mondstadt?"

Anastasia muttered to herself.

Her face beneath the mask was full of confusion; she had no idea what was happening.

"Lady Anastasia."

However, hearing such words,

Jean naturally couldn't ignore them.

She walked over immediately... staring intently at Anastasia, her tone full of pressure.

"Please be careful with your choice of words, Snezhnaya diplomat."

"The one currently fighting outside the city is Dvalin, the Dragon of the East, one of Mondstadt's Four Winds."

"I do not wish to hear such disrespectful remarks again, otherwise, I may consider it a provocation against Mondstadt. As the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, I have the right to expel the Fatui from Mondstadt."

"I... I apologize."

It seemed to be from the conversation with Kai last time.

Coupled with the painful treatment she received from the Lady after returning to the hotel.

Anastasia's body almost instinctively trembled.

Hearing a similar warning, she quickly apologized.

She dared not make any trouble.

Staring at the one-sided situation outside the city, which had emerged after Dvalin joined the fight,

her face grew even paler.

A thought involuntarily flashed through her mind.

"This mission to Mondstadt..."

"...is a complete failure."

"What's wrong, Jean? You seem very eager to fight outside the city."

Having successfully refuted Anastasia,

Jean took a deep breath, her gaze gradually becoming serious.

Beside her... seeing Jean frequently scanning the battlefield, seemingly searching for something,

Lisa yawned somewhat lazily.

She clearly understood her friend's thoughts particularly well.

"If you're looking for your Kai, you need to look in that direction."

Lisa extended her slender finger to point the way.

"If I'm not mistaken, Kai is slacking off over there right now."

"I see him..."

Guided by Lisa,

Jean quickly found Kai at the edge of the battlefield.

The tension that had been forcibly suppressed in her heart was, at this moment, finally completely released.

Her entire being immediately relaxed.

"Then I'll leave the city defense to you; I'm going to find Kai..."

"Ah no, I mean, lead the Knights of Favonius to deal with these Hilichurl."

Realizing her slip of the tongue, Jean quickly coughed twice.

She turned her face away under Lisa's teasing smile.

"I..."

"I'm leaving now."
