Chapter 646: The Sweet Rewards of War (Please Subscribe!!)

"Hmm, that's not right! Wait a moment!"

Just as Jiang Yan was about to nod and prepare to watch Morax depart, he suddenly spoke up to block Morax's path.

Morax: "?"

Seeing the puzzled look in Morax's eyes as he gazed at him, Jiang Yan said to him:

"I caused such a huge commotion over in Snezhnaya; can the contract between you and the Tsaritsa still hold?"

"Perhaps. We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Morax said lightly.

"After all, judging by Ningguang's mobilization of Liyue's entire army this time."

"Whatever difficulties Liyue faces now, it seems it can overcome them."

"Perhaps this is the best gift Liyue, as a child, could give to me, the retiring parent."

A hint of gratification tinged Morax's tone.

But Jiang Yan rolled his eyes again and again.

"No, how many times have I told you?"

"Liyue is not as you imagine; whether it can withstand the trials of the coming era."

"Why not simply retire from your position as the Geo Archon?"

"When the time comes, just tell Ningguang and hold a special retirement ceremony."

"How nice."

Jiang Yan's words plunged Morax into silence.

Morax understood what Jiang Yan meant.

The matter could indeed be as simple as Jiang Yan said.

However, since he had already finalized a contract with Snezhnaya, he was not in such a hurry after all.

Let's first see what Snezhnaya has in mind.

If the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya continues to be willing to fulfill the contract's requirements afterward,

then Morax need not prepare anything further; they can simply cooperate directly.

But if the other party does not intend to fulfill the contract, Morax will not say anything this time either.

After all, his own Jiang Yan had truly made a huge scene in Snezhnaya, completely crushing Snezhnaya's morale.

Forcing the other party to fulfill the contract would indeed be asking too much.

"Sigh, we'll see when the time comes."

Morax sighed, his eyes holding a certain complexity.

Sigh, I only wanted to retire.

Why did so many things have to get tangled up?

"Suit yourself!"

Jiang Yan shrugged; he didn't know what was going on in Morax's mind.

He only needed to retire openly and honestly.

Yet he insisted on creating some sort of spectacle.

What a fuss.

Morax did not chat with Jiang Yan any further afterward.

Under Jiang Yan's gaze, Morax left the summit of Mount Tianheng.

As for where he went, he probably went to find a place to continue drinking tea and listening to stories.

Jiang Yan did not care where Morax went.

After standing on the summit for a short while, he activated the Chuansong Sect.

By now, Ningguang had probably already negotiated terms with Snezhnaya.

His several disciples were organizing the army to return to Liyue, and Little Ganyu was likely busy as well.

Hmm...

Then next, go find Little Klee.

Jiang Yan chuckled.

He then opened the Chuansong Sect and vanished from the spot.

A few days later, the "Snow Nation Treaty" signed between Snezhnaya and Liyue spread across the entire Teyvat Continent.

This time, Liyue's move terrified Natlan and Fontaine.

That terrifying military strength.

Instantly blockaded Snezhnaya's seas, airspace, and borders.

And this was Snezhnaya, the nation boasting the second-strongest military might!

Whether the high officials of Natlan or the high officials of Fontaine,

they immediately convened top-level state meetings.

But no matter how they discussed it, they had no good way to sanction Liyue.

Economy?

As the commercial capital, Liyue Harbor's god, Morax, created the Mora, which is the universal currency of the entire Teyvat.

It could only be said that only Liyue could use economic sanctions against other nations; for other nations to try using economics to sanction Liyue?

Their brains must be somewhat not working properly.

Military force?

Let us not speak further of this!

Whether High-Ranking or the military, these two nations would have no room for resistance whatsoever.

But the air supremacy brought by the Liyue Air Force is something neither Natlan nor Fontaine can withstand.

This highlights the importance of Jiang Yan's foresight earlier.

Establishing an air force is indeed troublesome and consumes vast resources.

Yet the convenience it brings is indispensable.

Liyue alone, with just the characteristic of air supremacy, can hold all the nations of Teyvat in check.

Not to mention, the Sky Fortress is also loaded with Archon Resentment Bombs capable of destroying an entire city.

"Could it truly be that there is no way to resist Liyue's offensive?!"

The Hydro Archon slammed her hand on the table, looking at the high officials seated before her, and spoke in a furious voice.

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, my lord Hydro Archon."

"Even such a powerful Snezhnaya had no power to resist before Liyue, let alone us."

One of the officials shook his head, a hint of bitterness in his eyes.

"The key now is that we fear Liyue has tasted the sweetness of war in this treaty."

Another official spoke in a deep voice.

Everyone present has seen the "Treaty of the Snow Country."

Its terms are so generous that even Fontaine's officials are envious.

But Fontaine is not a nation skilled in war; they lack the ability to launch a war between nations.

Who can Fontaine fight?
