Chapter 47

"Alright, alright, go ahead."

Jiang Yan knew Ganyu had something important to say, so he didn't play around anymore, but he didn't let go of her waist.

"The Millelith reported that there are large elemental fluctuations in the northeast of Stone Gate, and it seems a top-tier Archon is approaching here."

Ganyu said urgently.

Jiang Yan's expression also gradually became serious.

"Northeast of Stone Gate..."

Jiang Yan stood up, his brows furrowed.

"Northeast of Stone Gate..."

"I remember that area will be Mondstadt's territory in the future..."

"At this time, the Lord of Towers, Decarabian, should still be surrounding the Mondstadt people in the storm barrier, so the only Archon I know of over there is..."

Jiang Yan's gaze tightened slightly.

"Andrius, the Wolf of the North!"

Main Text

"Why would he come this way?"

Jiang Yan's brows were furrowed.

In his memory, there seemed to be no record of the Wolf of the North invading Liyue.

Could it be because he changed the original development of Teyvat, causing some things to change?

"I'll go over and take a look first, you notify Rex Lapis."

Jiang Yan said and walked out the door.

"Jiang Yan, I was just looking for you, about the construction of the city district..."

Guizhong saw Jiang Yan go out and shouted at him from afar.

But she only saw Jiang Yan tap his foot, and his whole body flew up, turning into a stream of light and flying toward the north.

"Ji..."

Only Guizhong's abruptly stopped call remained in the entire area.

"Hmm... seriously, why is he in such a hurry?"

Guizhong looked at Jiang Yan's departing back with some helplessness.

At this moment, she saw Ganyu coming out of Jiang Yan's room in a hurry.

"Little Ganyu~ do you know why Jiang Yan is in such a hurry?"

Guizhong asked with some confusion.

"There's an anomaly from Stone Gate; the Millelith detected elemental energy fluctuations from a suspected top-tier Archon approaching Stone Gate from the northeast, so Jiang Yan went ahead to check the situation, and I have to hurry to notify Rex Lapis."

Ganyu told Guizhong about the matter, and Guizhong's expression changed from relaxed to serious.

A top-tier Archon approaching Stone Gate was no small matter.

"Then you hurry and go, I'll go with you."

Guizhong dared not be slow and quickly pulled Ganyu to head to Zhongli's residence.

Stone Gate

At this moment, the Millelith stationed at Stone Gate had received intelligence from the Millelith guards; all the Millelith soldiers remaining at Stone Gate gathered quickly, their expressions tense.

The intelligence from the Millelith guards had never been wrong; regardless of whether the intelligence was true, they had to treat the news of a top-tier Archon approaching Stone Gate with caution.

"Are the Guizhong Ballistae ready?"

The Millelith commander asked his subordinate.

"The three Guizhong Ballistae installed at Stone Gate have all been fully charged!"

The soldier responded quickly.

"Very good! Everyone, be on high alert!"

The commander ordered his subordinates.

"But... sir, can we really stop them? That's an Archon!"

Some soldiers had a hint of fear on their faces.

"What are you saying?!"

"We are soldiers! Guarding the frontier is our duty!"

"Even if it's an Archon, if they want to cross Stone Gate, they must step over our corpses first!"

The Millelith commander's expression was serious; clearly, one could see from his trembling hands that he was also afraid of the Archon.

But as a commander, he absolutely could not show weakness.

"Besides, Rex Lapis and the Adeptus Lord will surely arrive quickly after receiving the news; we just need to hold on until they arrive!"

"Don't forget the duty the Adeptus Lord gave us when he founded us!"

"The Millelith Guili Army never uses the word retreat!"

"Yes!"

The Millelith soldiers gathered their spirits and responded to the commander.

Not long after, a surging murderous aura rushed toward them from afar.

A huge wolf shadow was gradually approaching from the snowfield northeast of Stone Gate. (Mondstadt was in a period of ice and snow at this time)

As the wolf shadow approached, the Millelith soldiers stood outside Stone Gate, gripping their spears tightly, their expressions solemn.

The Millelith commander swallowed, took a big step forward, and shouted at the wolf shadow in the distance.

"Archon ahead! This place belongs to the territory of the Geo Archon, please do not approach!"

"Warning again, please do not approach here!"

"..."

"Humans, you dare to come and block me just by yourselves?"

The shadows dissipated, and a silver-blue giant wolf appeared; it was the top-tier Archon of the Mondstadt region: Andrius, the Wolf of the North!

Behind him, countless wolves gathered, baring their fangs at the Millelith.

One could even see from afar that behind this pack of wolves, there was a group of humans.

A terrifying Archon pressure was released from Andrius, and the Millelith soldiers' expressions changed drastically, all of them suppressed by this terrifying pressure and forced to their knees.

The Millelith commander immediately used his spear to support his body; as the commander of the Millelith Guili Army, he would not kneel to anyone except Rex Lapis and the Adeptus Lord!

"If you want to enter here, you must crush us under your feet!"

"Even so, I firmly believe that Rex Lapis and the Adeptus Lord will surely avenge us!"

Even facing Andrius, who was releasing extremely strong pressure, the Millelith commander showed no intention of retreating.

"Heh, truly interesting humans."

Andrius sneered disdainfully and was about to walk forward.

"Adepti Art, Wood Style, True Thousand-Armed Buddha!"

A clear voice sounded from above the sky.

The surrounding earth surged, and a giant Buddha nearly a thousand meters tall suddenly appeared.

In the hands of the Buddha, the Millelith Guili Army were all there, not a single one missing.

Jiang Yan stood on top of the Buddha's head, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

"You just..."

"Wanted to do..."

"What to my subordinates?!"

The suddenly appearing giant Buddha made Andrius stop in his tracks.

The surrounding wolf pack was also frightened by this suddenly appearing behemoth, growling and assuming an offensive stance.

Jiang Yan looked down at Andrius from above, his eyes filled with killing intent.
