Chapter 171

[There were even several golden Rifthounds floating in the air that they had never seen before.]

[At a glance, one’s scalp went numb.]

[What terrified the Outrider the most was that there were actually three Abyss Lectors who seemed to be controlling them using some unknown power.]

Aether: "Enjou? Abyss Herald? Lector?"

Enjou: "Whoa, I actually appear at the end in this episode, and am even an important figure causing Su Bai’s sacrifice. Damn, I’m blowing my own horn."

Lumine: "Enjou’s life is worth it; he can enter reincarnation now."

Enjou: "Spare me..."

Rhinedottir: "There is actually a Golden Wolflord? This..."

Alice: "For ordinary knights, this is impossible to defeat."

Diluc: "The main thing is that this quantity is too terrifying; we in the past life could not defeat them alone."

Kaeya: "As expected of Master Diluc, you actually learned to steal the spotlight at the end."

Varka: "This feeling is a bit strange. In the current livestream, we are good brothers discussing the plot, but in the past life, we were mortal enemies out for each other’s lives."

Aether: "....."

Dainsleif: "It is still because of Mr. Su Bai, the reincarnator, that everyone can keep the peace in this life."

Mona: "Masses of Rifthounds plus several Golden Wolflords, and three Abyss Lectors—is the Windrider Knights preparing to experience the Khaenri'ah cataclysm of five hundred years ago? This backlash is too harsh."

Barbeloth: "Don't ask me, I don't understand. (Covers face)"

["What!"]

[Hearing the intelligence reported back.]

[Everyone’s expression changed drastically.]

[This... this was simply a battle that could not be won...]

[However, Su Bai appeared exceptionally calm.]

[He said indifferently: "It seems those three Abyss Lectors want to control this group of Rifthounds to attack Mondstadt."]

["Those scattered Rifthounds that drifted away must have accidentally broken away from the team."]

["What should we do now?" Even Diluc, who was often expressionless, had cold sweat on his face.]

[The battle had not yet begun, but he already felt an inexplicable fear.]

[Su Bai took a step forward and said slowly: "Diluc, take your squad back and tell Grand Master Varka about the situation here."]

["The Windrider Knights will stay; we will do our best to hold this group of Rifthounds back."]

["What do you mean?" Diluc asked, feeling both confused and unhappy.]

["Are you planning to go head-to-head with them?"]

["There is no better choice." Su Bai said faintly:]

["Once they all land, they will definitely be controlled to attack the City of Mondstadt together, and since Rifthounds can appear across space, the situation will be very dire then."]

["But if we only kill the Abyss Heralds controlling them, they will also scatter and land, which is also a very troublesome matter."]

["The best way is to fight them on this island and kill as many of them as possible."]

[Despair shrouded every knight’s heart.]

[The outcome of this battle was already set; if Grand Master Varka’s support did not arrive fast enough, this group of people would definitely be buried on this island together.]

["Captain, you go back..."]

[At this moment, a grim-faced member of the Windrider Knights suddenly forced a smile.]

["You are going to be a father in a few days. You told us back then to perform well so that after Klee is born, you could spend more time with her."]

["Anyway, it’s the same whoever goes back to report to the Grand Master. This time it should be your turn to stay behind, and we will be the ones to charge."]

["That’s how it is. I’ve long wanted to use the corpses of Rifthounds to pay tribute to my fallen brothers."]

["Hmph, these dog bastards that were created, I’ll stab at least three to death with one spear."]

[The members of Diluc’s squad were all stunned.]

[They couldn't understand how the people of the Windrider Knights could still be joking and bragging to each other in the face of death.]

[You are going to die, do you know that?]

[Diluc’s burning eyes swept over everyone.]

[Perhaps it was because they knew they were going to die that they were reluctantly encouraging each other?]

["Hmph!"]

[Su Bai just chuckled.]

[Looking at the shadows appearing behind the hill.]

[He shouted: "Form up! Prepare to engage the enemy."]

[At this moment, Diluc slowly came to Su Bai’s side and said calmly: "Do you know that intelligence can be sent back using carrier pigeons?"]

[Su Bai: "That’s not as reliable as a person."]

[Diluc: "Just use a few more. It’s not easy to get a chance to steal the credit from the Windrider Knights; my men are also eager to have a go."]

[Su Bai: "Hehe, at a time like this, you’re still competing."]

["I’m sorry, Captain of the Windrider Knights." Diluc looked at his team members behind him.]

[Although they were very nervous and their hands were trembling.]

[But at this moment, no one actually left just because Su Bai told them to.]

["You are the Captain of the Windrider Knights, not the Captain of the Knights of Favonius."]

["You cannot command my men."]

["Besides, Mondstadt is a city-state of freedom; how we choose is our freedom."]

["Freedom does not belong solely to your Windrider Knights."]

[Diluc spread his hands: "I’m still a bit unhappy that you guys stole the freedom slogan for your charge."]

["So this time, can you give the slogan of freedom back to us?"]

[Diluc said it as if he were joking.]

["Hmph!" Su Bai sneered.]

[Where his gaze reached, on the hill, a large number of Rifthounds had already appeared.]

[They were constantly surging forward.]

["Freedom..."]

[Su Bai murmured.]

[Whether for family, for reputation, or for Mondstadt.]

[The Windrider Knights never fought for any specific reason.]

[Everyone had their own reason for fighting.]

[Swish!]

[The flag in his hand cut through the air.]

[Su Bai held his flame spear and pointed it toward the sky.]

[He shouted loudly:]

["Knights of Mondstadt."]

["Advance!"]

["Fight!"]

["For the freedom in your hearts..."]

[Clack clack clack clack...]

[Facing the Rifthounds surging like waves.]

[The Mondstadt knights behind Su Bai gripped their weapons, ready for battle.]

[It was like the final breath before a charge.]

[Everyone’s shouts resounded through the heavens and earth.]

["For freedom, offer up your hearts."]
