Chapter 90

After the ceremony ended, watching the Twelve Divine Generals formation guarding the high sky, the worry in Kitsune Saiguu's heart dissipated a lot.

She had thought that this disaster would cause heavy losses; according to the situation when the monsters first invaded, it was originally like that.

But with the formation as a backup, the situation had greatly improved.

"It's just, where have you and Makoto gone?"

Like Ei, Kitsune Saiguu felt uneasy about the two who had disappeared inexplicably.

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside her, interrupting her thoughts.

"Lady Saiguu, it has been processed; what are the arrangements for next?"

Kitsune Saiguu looked at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Asase Hibiki and smiled: "Well done; afterward, arrange for the Grand Shrine maidens to follow the Shogunate troops to Araumi and the vicinity of Ritou; if you have free time, you can also go and help."

"I understand." Before Asase Hibiki left, she hesitated for a moment and suggested: "Lady Saiguu, there is one more thing; Sister Mitsuyo said that when clearing monsters at sea, she can lend the Thousand-Gate Empty Boat to the Shogunate to eliminate hidden dangers."

"She said that for the sake of Luo Li and you, right."

Kitsune Saiguu nodded, indicating she already knew.

Then watching the little girl from the countryside fishing village back then let go of her heart and leave without hesitation, she couldn't help but sigh that the little girl had also grown into someone who could stand on her own.

All of this was thanks to that man.

Tenshukaku!

With good news coming from the frontline, without anyone guiding her, Raiden Ei, who was encountering a major event for the first time and sitting in the center, showed a cold-blooded decisiveness different from the past for the first time.

The Inner Palace Guards and Hatamoto warriors who received the orders all felt that the Shogun was colder than in the past today, her temperament cold and hard to describe.

"Order the Hatamoto to go to Amakane Island and seal the spatial passages that appeared there."

"Send people to Konda Village to comfort the injured villagers; there must be no slack."

"Inazuma City enters a state of lockdown and martial law; have the Tenryou Commission issue a curfew, and if anyone refuses to listen, lock them in prison."

"And the agreement previously made with Watatsumi Island, prepare to dispatch Shogunate troops to Watatsumi Island to assist in defense; if there are casualties, the subsequent compensation and pension will be increased tenfold."

"..."

Order after order was issued in an orderly manner, and people entered and exited the Tenshukaku continuously, lasting for a whole day.

At sunset, Kitsune Saiguu stepped into the Tenshukaku.

Seeing Saiguu arrive, Ei's expression loosened slightly, revealing a hint of exhaustion.

Unlike fighting, the consumption of mental energy was in some ways more tiring than physical strength.

"If you feel tired, rest for a while."

Hearing this, Ei shook her head: "If Makoto were here, she would definitely not rest at such a critical time; everything is still in an emergency, and if an accident happens while I'm not here, it will cause heavy losses."

Gazing at Ei, who was burying her head in dealing with various urgent matters, Kitsune Saiguu felt a bit of relief, but following that was a sense of sadness.

Up to now, she vaguely had a conjecture.

Combined with foresight and various details, it indicated that Raiden Makoto had a trend of vaguely weakening her own influence to let Ei take the top spot.

She just didn't know if she chose to live in seclusion behind the scenes or if she couldn't appear again.

Thinking of a not-so-good answer, Kitsune Saiguu felt heavy-hearted; perhaps the news that Luo Li had disappeared with her made her slightly less worried.

"Is there still no news of Makoto and Luo Li?"

Raiden Ei had handed over the search for the two to Kitsune Saiguu, which was also why she could sit here steadily.

"No." Hesitating for a moment, Kitsune Saiguu guessed: "I suspect that their disappearance is related to the monster attack; according to news from Liyue and Mondstadt, their gods have also disappeared without a trace."

If that was the case, the situation of Makoto and Luo Li was much more dangerous than imagined.

Not being blinded by the good news of the gods gathering together, thinking about it slightly, to be able to form such a lineup, there was no doubt that the danger faced was also extraordinary.

Ei fell into silence; if it weren't for the fact that Inazuma couldn't be left, she would definitely have searched for them herself.

"Nowadays, we should still organize the rear well and wait for them to come back with peace of mind; I believe Luo Li will definitely protect Makoto well."

Kitsune Saiguu comforted her friend with kind words, while at the same time giving herself a hint in her heart.

With Luo Li's strength, nothing should happen to them.

He had experienced the Mondstadt chaos and the Liyue Archon War, having seen many great storms and waves; so many major events hadn't brought him any impact, let alone now.

Raiden Ei had no other choice but to believe her words.

"Enough, let's solve the problem of Watatsumi Island first." Ei continued: "With the formation laid out by Luo Li, Narukami Island is likely worry-free, and some of the residents of Kannazuka have been relocated in advance; next, we should be able to clear it completely without spending too much cost."

"But the pressure suffered by Yashiori Island and Watatsumi Island should be particularly great; is there a better way to send the Shogunate troops over?"

The key now was that monsters were ravaging Kannazuka and Yashiori Island, and the Shogunate troops had to pay a certain price in casualties to arrive to help assist in defense.

Unless they built a teleportation platform, but Inazuma did not possess that kind of technology.

Even if they could use teleport waypoints, it was impossible to allow so many soldiers to pass through; there was a certain limit to the number.

Kitsune Saiguu comforted her: "Leave this to me; since Narukami Island has Luo Li to guard it, the backup plans I laid out can be used in other aspects."

She hadn't spent this time in vain; she had disappeared twice, all for the disaster in her foresight.

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm, if there are no accidents, the success rate is over ninety percent."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you."
