Chapter 780: Immortals Gather, a Corner of Liyue Can Match Three Kingdoms

"This Natlan seems to have big ambitions too; it appears they want to drag down our Liyue, the first in power."

Now Jiang Yan misunderstood; Natlan sending troops to help Snezhnaya was purely on the Fire God's orders.

The people of Natlan were even wondering: isn't it better to watch others kill each other and pick up the scraps?

"Something is off. Not only did they warn them beforehand not to interfere, but even if they had other intentions, they could have waited until our two nations were nearly exhausted before acting."

"Hmm... makes sense. Now it looks more like..."

"A cooperation. Perhaps Snezhnaya or the Abyss promised Natlan some benefit to join this war."

"Jiang Yan, Lord Rex, so you two are here."

Only then did Yun-Hai descend, looking very panicked.

"Yo, Sister Yun-Hai, long time no see."

"Jiang Yan, Lord Rex, I don't know why, but Natlan and Snezhnaya have joined forces."

"Hmm, we already know. In that case, the possibility of Natlan picking up scraps can be ruled out."

Morax nodded, signaling that the two of them were already aware of this matter.

"Then, what should we do? Do we need the Adepti and Archons to join the battlefield?"

"No, Sister Yun-Hai, haven't you and Sister Guizhong been constantly researching those automatons these years? Bring out all the lethal ones; after all, it is still a war between humans."

"All of them?"

"Yes, all of them. Only then will others realize that even without the help of Adepti and Archons, Liyue is no longer something others can covet."

With Yun-Hai's departure, it meant that Liyue was already going all out against the attacks from two nations.

"What do you want to verify?" Morax suddenly spoke, looking at the departing Yun-Hai.

"Indeed, I cannot hide it from you. Liyue holding its ground against two nations is mainly done to show Fontaine. Besides Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Sumeru, who will not attack us, only Fontaine remains, whose allegiance is unknown."

"Once Fontaine sees Liyue's military strength, they should at least weigh the combat power of us Adepti and Archons who haven't yet acted. If... if Fontaine also betrays us, then it is the Lord of the Abyss causing trouble again."

"Hmm... a good plan. It not only highlights Liyue's strength but also tests the Lord of the Abyss hiding in the shadows. It is a good plan."

"Then, what are your thoughts on the Lord of the Abyss?"

Hearing this question, Jiang Yan fell silent, which was rare for him.

Not only the Lord of the Abyss, but also the existence of Aether, the Khaenri'ahn Abyss Prince, one of the twins; naturally, he could not act against Aether for the time being.

That left only dealing with the Lord of the Abyss.

He just didn't know if, after destroying him, a more troublesome Lord of the Abyss would pop up, or if Aether would directly take control of the Abyss.

However, since he dared not gamble, it was better to be steady.

"Let's wait and see. Let's see what other trump cards that guy has and let him play them all at once."

"As long as you have a clear idea in your mind."

Regarding the Lord of the Abyss, Morax could say he had no way to deal with him; even that black mist was impossible to resist, so he could only leave it to Jiang Yan.

The two of them now had a clear division of labor, simultaneously monitoring the situation of the three-nation war, each focusing on their own enemies.

Fontaine.

"Hehe."

The Lord of the Abyss put away the Abyss Seed, looking satisfied at the stunned Hydro Archon before him.

"Go, issue an order: assemble the army, sail boats around from the Natlan and Snezhnaya regions to strike from behind, and attack Liyue directly."

"... Yes."

Due to the all-pervading nature of Black Mist 2.0, often before one even realized it, the black mist had already entered one's body; if one felt something was wrong, it was already too late.
