Chapter 1452: Weng Falosi 3.5 (482)

She died, but Hai Se Yin survived. Her choice is already self‑evident.

Rider's tone was firm and solemn, and Wei Bo even, unusually, heard a hint of respect in his Servant's voice.

When she decided to sacrifice her subordinates, she also prepared herself for sacrifice. She intends to enter the game personally and win the chess match against the gods; this time the piece she chooses to sacrifice is—herself.

"'Will'…?"

Hai Se Yin stared at Thus we output Thus we output keludela in disbelief.

"……"

Thus we output Thus we output keludela let out a low laugh: "Weng Falosi is on the brink of destruction and cannot tolerate meaningless disputes. For this salvation war, there is only one 'law' I will overturn, and only one Demigod to offer—"

"Hai Lie Qu La, I, in Kai Sa's name, issue you a final command." Thus we output Thus we output keludela's gaze was resolute, "To conquer through sacrifice, or to thrust a sword into the tyrant's chest."

"……"

Xilian's voice sounded in the darkness.

"Thus, Kai Sa delivered his final speech before death."

"At the very end of her life, the moment she stepped onto the altar, she entrusted the decision of destiny to her most loyal subject, just as she once swore to her compatriots when she first entered the battlefield."

In the darkness, Thus we output Thus we output keludela's voice remained as uplifting as ever.

"I have already shared the golden blood with you. Now, brave compatriots, follow me and become masters of destiny!"

Xilian continued: "Kai Sa fell. Some say that the Sword‑Flag Jue truly fell and became a traitor; others say she imprisoned the tyrant in shallow water and left alone—thus the latter must end herself to rewrite the 'law'…"

"Accounts of her death are endless. Now, the only thing we can be sure of is that when the knight departs from the vortex heart, Kai Sa still mutters their past conquests…"

"…the beginning and end of her life."

In the mural, Thus we output Thus we output keludela sits upright on Huang Di's back, gazing forward; beside her are thousands of troops, banners blotting out the sun, iron armor like mountains. Aglaea and Hai Se Yin attend the two sides, while Ti Bao and the others fly in mid‑air, accompanying Thus we output Thus we output keludela in inspecting the army.

"No, Kai Sa! You are beyond noble; how could you be on the front line? Let me serve as standard‑bearer—"

"I ask you, did the garrison at the western pass of Shu Ting surrender?"

"At the sound of Kai Sa's name they fled, and Jin Jian Pass has now been handed over to the First Legion!"

"Very well, what about the Duo Luo Si Ren guerrillas?"

"The Third Legion ignited a mountain fire two days ago; the western basin has been flattened, and in a few more days…"

"Enough! The window of opportunity vanishes in an instant; we cannot wait. Finally, how many of the La Dong Ren's artillery forts remain?"

"None left— the Second and Fourth Legions have completely razed them!"

"Excellent. Now they have no retreat, no reinforcements, and no fire support; our army can swiftly liberate Shen Wu Shu Ting."

Genshin.

"So, you're treating this meal, right?"

In the elegant room of Wu You Pavilion, Shen Zi picked up the menu and leisurely turned the page, "Ah, then I shall be unabashed."

In a dream, Yue Rui Xi hummed softly, "I'll order yours. May the bet be honored; I wouldn't dare default on a debt."

"Of course, the esteemed owner of Qiu Sha Qian Tang would never default," Shen Zi smiled, his eyebrows curving, deliberately enunciating the word "esteemed."

Yue Rui Xi's eye corner twitched slightly; she had thought that after the summer off‑season the hot‑spring business could turn around, even adding lull‑inducing relaxation services, yet last month's revenue was still firmly suppressed by Ba Zhong Tang.

"I'm curious…" Yue Rui Xi lifted her teacup and took a sip, trying to make her tone sound indifferent, "What new gimmick has Ba Zhong Tang concocted this month?"

"Ah, it's a long story," Shen Zi said, eyes squinting, "Actually nothing much, just thanks to the sky curtain, the light‑novel sales have surged again."

"Isn't Ba Zhong Tang's hottest trend still the Fu Xuan and Qing Que themes?"

"What era is this?" Shen Zi waved a hand, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "Fu Xuan and Qing Que are ancient; light novels must keep up with the times."

"Then…" Yue Rui Xi blinked; she recalled that long ago when she passed Ba Zhong Tang, the most eye‑catching poster featured Aglaea and Sai Fei Er. At that time, when Sai Fei Er, in the sky curtain, used his authority to manifest Aglaea's image before death, many Inazuma citizens wept profusely.

"…Could it be a theme related to Aglaea and Sai Fei Er?"

"Weaving theft? Hmm… the top twenty best‑sellers of Ba Zhong Tang two months ago were almost all that. But that was previous sales; readers' hearts are more fickle than Inazuma's weather."

"Then what's Ba Zhong Tang's current hottest thing?" Yue Rui Xi couldn't help asking.

Shen Zi didn't answer immediately; instead he leisurely poured himself a cup of tea, blew the steam slowly, building anticipation, then softly whispered two words:

"Hai Ke."

Having often paid attention to matters in the sky curtain, Yue Rui Xi naturally understood the reference.

"Such a relationship brimming with sovereign‑subject flavor, even the shadows can't resist. Just this month, the Heaven‑Command officials have visited Ba Zhong Tang five times, each time specifically requesting Hai Ke novels. Even the deities of Inazuma cannot refuse these stories."

Yue Rui Xi stared blankly for a while, then muttered a subdued "Oh": "Looks like next month's revenue… Qiu Sha Qian Tang will be crushed again by you."

"Alright, don't wear a gloomy face," Shen Zi said, seeing his old friend's sullen expression, his tone softening a bit, "Hot springs have their charms, light novels have theirs. When Inazuma is drenched in endless rain and everyone seeks a warm refuge, perhaps your Qiu Sha Qian Tang ledger will look so good it'll make me jealous."

"The total charge is the moment after tomorrow's veil; remember: as long as the allied banner on my shoulder hasn't fallen, you must never abandon the advance."

"Enemy soldiers are to be executed on the spot; resisting philosophers are to be escorted back to camp for military justice; also, do not damage the library—go, broadcast to the entire army!"

"Yes! The fallen salute you!" Duan Feng Jue saluted and returned to the troops.

"Report! The mountain folk are fiercely rebelling; the rumored 'Mountain Opener' has arrived on the battlefield, their formation is airtight…" Dong Lin Jue reported.

"Then there's no need for a further assault. Send scouts to inform each legion, ordering them to withdraw within the dusk (evening) to within the Te Lei Tuo Si Plain," Thus we output Thus we output keludela commanded methodically, "This is a strategic redeployment. The front has the Fu Long of that region, that's sufficient."

"Fu Long… Huang Di, that foolish earth beast? What can it do?"

"Foolish? No, it is the most commanding of all Giolia's creations; only it can discern the flow of the age. Let it personally deal with the earth's compatriots! We must march swiftly, be the first to defeat the remnants… we must repay the enemy's humiliation with the fiercest retaliation, to crown ourselves with the God‑slayer's laurels!"
