Chapter 764

"I say, you're not worried at all."

"Hmm? Worried about what? Isn't our retirement precisely meant to let humanity gradually become self-reliant? Isn't now a perfect opportunity?"

"Still the same, but Snezhnaya and the Abyss have joined forces. I worry they may have other purposes."

"Jiang Yan, don't be so impatient. Come, have some tea."

Saying this, he poured tea into the cup before Jiang Yan.

"Although Snezhnaya and the Abyss have cooperated, don't you trust the army and disciples you personally trained? They are excellent."

Under Jiang Yan's instruction, the morale of the land, sea, and air forces reached its peak; confidence stems from strength.

"Look, even without the two of us, Liyue's Xiao and the others, along with your disciples, have arranged everything in perfect order. Besides, the army truly needs a victory."

Jiang Yan listened quietly to Morax's words, feeling they made quite a lot of sense.

What was that saying again? Birds eventually grow up and leave their parents' shelter; perhaps this is much the same situation now.

"Sigh, what do you think about the cooperation between Snezhnaya and the Abyss? Your contract hasn't still been in effect until now, has it?"

"... Speaking generally, that contract does indeed still hold."

"You... Sigh, never mind, I can't argue with you."

Seeing Jiang Yan's resigned expression, Morax spoke up to remind him.

"Factually, even with Snezhnaya and the Abyss cooperating, our Qixing Army still holds its ground, let alone the strength of our air and naval forces."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan nodded in agreement; he was very confident in this method of training soldiers. His men were each and every one outstanding!

"So don't rush. Unless the Tsaritsa and the Lord of the Abyss personally intervene, as for the rest, trust this nation of Liyue, which has now begun to be governed by humans."

Indeed, Liyue is now basically under human governance; Cloud Retainer, Xiao, and the others, as well as the Yakshas, merely serve in roles similar to guardians and assistants.

Thinking this, Jiang Yan felt relieved and drained the cup of tea in one gulp.

"Mmm! Good tea!"

"By the way, has the Black Qi in the Outer Sea beyond the darkness been resolved cleanly?"

Seeing Jiang Yan relieved, Morax began to ask about other matters.

"Mmm, resolved. That place was indeed covered in Black Qi. The humans and archons living there were basically all infected, but there was one tribe that remained completely unharmed."

"Oh? That tribe actually had such..."

"Oh right, it's because they worship the Moon Goddess, so they kept a Moon Stone, which is why they remained safe and sound."

"Moon Goddess?"

Morax repeatedly uttered these two characters, as if pondering something in his mind.
