Even when Sano and Elhaysen communicated before, Elhaysen told him privately that the rebellion in Xumi was actually not a bad thing for the Order. On the contrary, it was a solution. Unstable factors and troop training are a great opportunity to quickly enhance the strength of the Grass God Imperial Guard.

Although Seno didn't like war, he held the same view on Elhaysen's words.

"Hmph! Let us be captured without mercy? What a dream!" Haril, the leader of this gilded brigade, said angrily in his rough voice: "The Apostolic Order has gone too far to bully others, so don't blame us for using force to get our own justice! Our brothers Why should the mola earned through life and death be turned over to your Order?!"

Sano's eyes were cold: "Just because you live in Sumeru, just because you have the Void Terminal on your ears, and just because you have lived and grown up until now."

"Nonsense!" Haril snorted angrily, and then hit a big ax with his hand: "Brothers, kill me! Kill all these lackeys of the Order!",

Sai Nuo's red sand staff flicked and pointed forward with his left hand: "Give it to me!"

"kill!!"

"For Lord Grass God!"

The personnel on both sides were like two huge waves, hitting each other in opposition.

Sano took the lead, leaving afterimages in the air like a running wolf, and then appeared behind Harrier like a ghost.

when!

The staff of red sand rushed towards the back of Hariel's head, but the handle of the giant ax blocked the blow. Hariel followed the thrust from the ax handle, jumped forward, and turned around at the same time, his eyes changing. Staring at this notorious young man.

"The Gale Disciplinary is truly worthy of his reputation..." Harrier squinted: "I didn't want to use this at first. After all, I can feel that those people have no good intentions, but if I don't use it, I will probably die in less than ten rounds. …”

Sano looked at him without saying a word, perhaps because he was curious about what the other party had to rely on. Then he saw Haril take out a dark green "Eye of God" from the pocket on his waist and hang it on himself. on the neck.

No...no, it's not the eye of God, but - Seno's pupils shrank, that's the "evil eye" of the fools!

"Ahhhhhhh!!" Haril roared upwards, a dark green halo wrapped around him. As he charged towards Seno with an axe, with the momentum of crushing the earth, the surrounding ground was soaked with countless colors. Dark green vines with an ominous aura rose from the ground and enveloped Seno's body.

There was a flash of lightning around Sainuo, and his figure had disappeared on the spot, but Harrier did not stop his charging action, because Sainuo was falling from the sky, and the long staff in his hand was slashing towards him.

The long golden staff falling from the sky collided with the thick ax swinging from the bottom up, and a huge sound suddenly spread throughout the forest battlefield.

......

The starlight shines on the boundless desert, rendering the yellow sand that has almost no use except adding to the heat during the day a bit of mystery.

The desert is always beautiful at night, but at this moment, no one is in the mood to appreciate it.

"What? The majestic red-maned lion has also become a lackey of the Order?" Gupta, the leader of the large gilded brigade Larkweed Brigade with hundreds of members, looked at the man opposite him with an extremely disdainful look. Disiya, who was surrounded by thousands of grass god guards, spoke with no regard for the friendship they had had over drinking together.

Disia held the big sword on her shoulder and sighed: "I can't help it. Who makes me more aware of current affairs, and someone just happened to ask me to go to the Order Academy to train new recruits?"

Yes, the most important reason why Desiya brought so many recruits to crusade against the rebellious Gilded Brigade is that not long ago, in accordance with Elhaysen's commission, she invited Desiya to join the Order of the Order and serve as a member of the Grass God Guards. Leader, Disia didn't want to agree at first. After all, she was used to being loose and could not be restrained.

However, under Ying's subtle hints, Disia knew that the newly appointed dean hated the Gilded Brigade and was likely to take measures against the mercenaries. In addition, she herself had also vaguely learned from that group. She felt a dangerous delusion in the recent controversial conscription order, so after careful consideration, she finally agreed to the invitation to join the Order Academy.

After all, if you join now, you can at least become a commander. Although there are still fewer necessary constraints, you can still be regarded as a high-level official after all. It should not be worse than being a famous mercenary in the mercenary world. I will target the mercenaries in the future. Once the military sanctions are lifted, it may not be possible to join again when the time comes...

And now that she was the leader of this group of soldiers, it was natural for her to be responsible for leading these guys to experience actual combat.

"Oh, that's right. I can see that the Apostolic Order is coming fiercely. The newly appointed [tyrant] doesn't seem to like mercenaries. It makes sense for you to be afraid." Gupta sneered: "But I'm not you, you can put yourself Throw away your dignity to please your enemies! You should know why the Order has not treated Desert in these years, but even so, you still joined the Order and chose to betray Desert and stand on the opposite side of us desert people. What else is there to say? Yes, come and fight! Let’s see who is better, us mercenaries who have been licking blood with swords all year round, or the new recruits behind you who are tougher!”

After that, he took out a wristband with black and gold evil eyes and put it on his arm, and shouted: "Kill them all, no one will be spared!"

Desiya sighed in her heart, but she immediately raised her sword: "Give them all to me! Don't die easily, newcomers to the battlefield!"

The shouts of killing and the clanging of gold and iron broke the silence of the desert in an instant.

And similar scenes are being staged in various places in Xumi at the moment. The total number of rebellious Gilded Brigades, large and small, is probably no less than a hundred, and there is a steady stream of Gilded Brigades who oppose the "tyranny" of the Order Council and join the rebellion... …

Chapter 159 The Benefits of War

Above the starry night, Kelai's cheeks turned white as he looked at the scene of wars dotted all over Sumeru.

She had never experienced war, but the horrors involved were something that everyone with a proper education could understand.

Being held by Knox's side by an invisible force, Cole's hand unconsciously grabbed the hem of his clothes, and his voice was a little weak: "Is this war?"

Knox smiled: "It's just a small fight."

After saying that, the flames enveloped their bodies again, and after the ripples in space smoothed out, Knox and Kelai's figures appeared in front of Nasida in the dean's office.

Nacida was not surprised. On the contrary, after seeing Knox, her cute little face showed a look of relief. She thought about it and said to the two of them: "Welcome back."

Knox waved his hand and naturally sat back on the chair in front of his desk. He crossed his legs and put his hands behind his head. He looked so casual as if he had returned to his own home. Obviously, even if he had just seen it in the sky, He still didn't take the flames of war all over Sumeru to heart. Perhaps as he said to Kelai, such a war was really just a small fight to him.

"I have roughly seen the situation. With just the tens of thousands of troops we have just formed, we are at a disadvantage, and it is a serious disadvantage." It is not common for Knox to go straight to the topic without any small talk. .

But Nacida followed Knox's train of thought and immediately said: "They hurried onto the battlefield without sufficient training. The casualties will be very high. If possible, I want to end this war as soon as possible." …”

Even though she said that, the worry contained in the faint pleading that Nasida looked at Knox showed that she felt that Knox would not agree——

As expected, Knox asked strangely: "Why should it end? Such a good training opportunity, and not only training, it can also eliminate most of the unstable factors in Xumi in one fell swoop. When all goals are achieved, we will solve this problem." It will save countless manpower, material and financial resources, and the efficiency will be increased by at least 70.00%."

"But many people will die in the war, not only the Gilded Brigade who launched the rebellion, but also the soldiers who trusted us and chose to join the Guards and become the guardians of Xumi. Moreover, due to the unequal relationship between combat power and experience, They will even die more!" Even though she had guessed that Knox would say this, Nacida still couldn't help but feel anxious when she actually heard this.

"Stop your compassion for the time being." Knox said nonchalantly: "Soldiers who have been tested on the battlefield are qualified soldiers. Do you think I must issue a conscription order to recruit those people? What is the purpose of forming the Guards? It is a waste of money. Countless funds are provided to support them not just to let them shout slogans and do exercises in the barracks all day long."

"..." Nasida was speechless for a moment, and then retorted: "But if they suffer heavy casualties, wouldn't we have to recruit more people to join the army, and wouldn't it cost more materials?"

"Hey, you refuted me financially." Knox seemed amused: "The assets of the Gilded Brigade that launched the rebellion, and the fines from the Gilded Brigade that jointly protested, together are enough to form ten more 5-strong troops. The army is more than enough."

Nacida stopped talking. She sat back on her swing and looked at Knox sadly.

Knox rolled his eyes and turned his head to look at the scene outside the broken French window...

......

The long darkness ushered in a ray of light, and the skirmisher woke up from what should have been an endless slumber. He was originally floating in the mid-air of the blue ball, but at the moment he woke up, he knelt down on the green ball. On the wall, his pale face was covered with sweat. He opened his mouth and gasped for air, just like a drowning man being pulled ashore when he was about to die. He had never felt that air and breathing were such wonderful things.

In that pitch-black sea, no one knows what the skirmishers saw...but I believe it was not a good memory.After a long time, he seemed to have recovered his strength, raised his face, and looked at the closed door through the green "cage" with sinister eyes.

Boom! !

A burst of black light exploded, the cage turned into pieces, the door was blown away, and the skirmisher's figure slowly fell to the ground. He glanced in a certain direction for the last time, with an unclear look in his dark eyes. After a while, his figure Already hidden in the air.

......

Even though Xumi is currently in raging war and various incidents occur frequently, Mondstadt at the same time is still immersed in the afterglow of the festival.

The fragrance of Gui Feng's wine blends into every inch of the air, making people feel a little tipsy even when walking on the streets of Mondstadt.

However, Ying and Paimon, who were also walking on the streets of Mondstadt, were not attracted by the aroma of wine.

"Hey, that guy Ling suddenly disappeared again. I don't know where he is now." Paimeng said with his head hanging.

Ying calmly replied: "Probably back to Xumi."

"Huh? Why?" Paimon was a little surprised. He didn't know whether it was because he knew Knox's location, or because Knox had already returned to Sumeru.

Ying glanced at Paimon helplessly: "He came here just to participate in the Wine Festival. Since the festival has passed now, as the dean of the Order, of course he must go back as soon as possible."

"Um... Although that's true, why did he leave without even saying hello, and he didn't take us with him..." Pamon muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Did you meet him on the first day?" Ying rolled her eyes and asked.

Paimeng's eyes rolled up, as if she was recalling the image of the spirit she knew. After a while, she sighed: "Okay, indeed, if the spirit suddenly becomes enthusiastic towards us, I won't be used to it..."

After saying that, she asked again: "Then what should we do? Do we also want to go back to Xumi?"

Ying shook his head: "Forget it, we can stay in Mondstadt for a few more days. After all, we have our own lives and journeys. It's not good to always follow Ling."

"Hmm..." Paimon was about to nod in recognition, but was interrupted by the sound of conversation not far away.

"Have you heard? A war has broken out in Sumeru!"

"I know! I heard that countless gilded brigades jointly launched a rebellion and prepared to capture the Order..."

"Yes, it's really scary. I heard that the Order Academy is in danger!"

"Nonsense, no matter how many people rebel, it will be in vain for the gods of Xumi to take action!"

"Why are you talking nonsense? You don't know it yet! Xumi's God of Wisdom has exhausted its power and has turned into a little girl who is almost like an ordinary person. It is said that she was even imprisoned for 500 years!"

"It's true! Don't spread rumors and talk about gods!"

"How could it be possible? Otherwise, look, why am I saying this about God, but no divine punishment comes down?"

"Because the wind god protects you?"

"..."

While listening to the conversation between the two Mondstadts over there, Paimon, who was in a state of shock, suddenly saw Ying next to him turning around and walking away quickly.

"Hello? Where are you going?"

"Xumi." Ying said.

Chapter 160 Cruel

boom!

The heavy ax fell from his hand, and with a burst of sand and dust, the man as thick as a mountain fell to his knees, spitting out blood.

He looked at Seno, who was holding a golden sword in front of him with an indifferent expression, then looked down at his sunken chest, and finally closed his eyes and fell into eternal sleep.

Seno shook the red sand staff in his hand and shook away the blood stained on it. He turned around and looked at the messy battlefield behind him. Hundreds of corpses fell to the ground, including a grass god in green armor. There are also mercenaries in red clothes in the Imperial Guards, but the number of corpses of the Imperial Guards is obviously much higher than that of the mercenaries.

With an extremely superior numerical advantage, the ratio of battle losses was so unbalanced that Sano couldn't help but frown.

As for the mercenaries who put down their weapons after seeing their boss being killed, and squatted on the ground to surrender with their heads in their hands, Seno didn't even look at them. The way to deal with those people had already been planned by the Order.

In Xumi, where there is a lot of construction nowadays, free labor is their only destination.

A ray of morning light penetrated the dense forest leaves and splashed countless golden light spots on the ground.

Seno looked at the soldiers who were standing there controlling the prisoners while looking at the soldiers who were panting and waiting for the next order. He sighed and said: "Collect the corpses of your companions and take them back to Xumi City with the prisoners. The rebel corpses will be there." Burn and bury them in the ground.”

After receiving the order, everyone immediately started to execute it. Although they did not have much time to train, they could still do the most basic orders and prohibitions.

It's just that the battle lasted from midnight to dawn, so it's natural to be tired. It's inevitable to relax when working.

At this moment, there was a sudden rustling in the forest.

Standing in the field and looking around, Seno immediately raised his vigilance. He clenched the Red Sand Battle in his hand and looked around. At the same time, he shouted: "Martial law for all!"

In an instant, the digger put down his shovel, the person who lit the fire extinguished the torch, the person who moved the body threw away the body and picked up weapons... everyone was on guard.

Rustling... there were more and more rustling, and as the cold light in Seno's eyes became more intense, countless figures in mercenary uniforms surrounded them, the number of which was at least 500.

"It's the Hand of Soma and the Kalji Brigade!" One of the soldiers, a mercenary, recognized the origin of this group of people. The gritted teeth in his voice showed that these people are enemies rather than friends.
