Chapter 651

Stelle: "Mm..."

Stelle: "I think the Cloud Knights did the right thing."

Stelle: "Who knows, maybe this batch of cargo the Company is shipping has some serious problem!"

Topaz: "Eh, you can't really put it that way, can you?"

Topaz: "The Buli people are ferocious monster lunatics."

Topaz: "Attacking the Company's transport fleet out of nowhere is perfectly reasonable."

Topaz: "Maybe this fleet just happened to pass by Luo Fu and got caught in some undeserved disaster?"

March 7th: "There is that possibility."

March 7th: "But my gut tells me this batch of the Company's cargo probably really isn't simple!"

March 7th: "Wonder if we'll be able to dig something up in the end."

Furina: "Sigh, I have to say, the cosmos really is far from peaceful!"

Furina: "Disasters happening everywhere you look."

Furina: "Even a behemoth like the Xianzhoulian Alliance has people daring to cause trouble."

Furina: "Then wouldn't weaker civilizations live from one day to the next, never knowing if they'll survive?"

Firefly: "It's not really like that."

Firefly: "You could even say it's precisely because they're big powers that they have more conflicts?"

Firefly: "Actually, there are plenty of planets that stay peaceful year-round."

Firefly: "Of course, the word 'weak' is fatal for a planetary civilization."

Firefly: "It means that once a crisis hits, such a planet might not have the strength to resist."

Mavuika: "It really is brutal!"

Mualani: "I'm a little curious — would you say our Teyvat counts as a weak civilization or a strong one?"

Boothill: "You guys haven't even connected with the cosmos yet, so don't blame me for being blunt — I don't think you're all that strong."

Stelle: "But didn't we talk about this before?"

Stelle: "Their Teyvat has long-lived species and beings with pretty high combat power."

Stelle: "Even if they haven't connected with the cosmos and seem rather backward,"

Stelle: "their overall strength probably isn't all that weak, right?"

March 7th: "Having extraordinary power already makes them far stronger than most ordinary planets."

March 7th: "As for technology and the like, that can be built up gradually."

Dr. Ratio: "A civilization with power is valued wherever it goes."

Dr. Ratio: "If what you said before wasn't exaggerated,"

Dr. Ratio: "then Teyvat is clearly a planet with great potential."

Dr. Ratio: "If one day, by some twist of fate, your world connects with the greater cosmos,"

Dr. Ratio: "perhaps many great powers would be willing to extend an olive branch to you."

Paimon: "Wow, hearing all that, our Teyvat is a top-tier hot commodity too!"

Lumine: "It's 'hot commodity'! How many times have I told you!!"

Stelle: "Geez, you can't come poaching our Astral Express's people!"

Stelle: "Didn't we already agree?"

Stelle: "Once Teyvat connects with the cosmos, let my half-sister from another world, Lumine, bring along those combat-power-off-the-charts Seven Gods to be Nameless!"

Stelle: "That way, our Express crew is definitely getting a major upgrade!"

Stelle: "If one or two of them turn out promising enough to become Emanators, that'd be even better!"

Furina: "Uh... becoming an Emanator... that really does feel like an unreachable dream..."

Xia Luodi: "If even the Hydro Archon herself thinks it's a dream, then us ordinary folk have even less of a chance!"

Sparkle: "Now that's not quite right!"

Sparkle: "Even a bug can become an Emanator — why are you so sure you definitely can't?"

Silver Wolf: "And that bug became a Aeons too!"

Silver Wolf: "Why not compare yourself to that?"

Topaz: "All I can say is, don't look down on bugs."

Topaz: "In the cosmos, anything is possible!"

【It looks like they'll be arguing for quite a while.】

【It's probably best not to get dragged into a dispute that won't reach any conclusion like this.】

Hearing Yanqing found this scene extremely headache-inducing,

and immediately led the three of them on a detour,

not wanting to get involved at all.

【Who's the commanding officer in charge of this unit?】

【I need an explanation.】

A moment later, Yanqing arrived at the site of the incident, his face stern,

and began questioning the two Cloud Knights beside him.

【It was me... apologies, we let our guard down for a moment — it's all my responsibility.】

Hearing Yanqing's accusation,

The Cloud Knights captain lowered her head in shame.

"Come, speak. With the Martial Exhibition Ceremony about to begin, everything on Luo Fu must prioritize safety and stability."

"Why did Buli prisoners appear at the Star Skiff Sea?"

"According to procedure, dangerous felons should be held aboard the Star Skiff and transported directly to the Nether Prison without ever touching the ground."

"Who authorized the prisoner transport ship to dock at the passenger terminal!"

Paimon: "Wow, Hearing Yanqing looks so impressive!"

Paimon: "He actually scolded that Cloud Knight so badly she didn't dare raise her head to speak!"

Lumine: "Hearing Yanqing may still be young, but he clearly holds a very high position among the Cloud Knights!"

Miss Sushang: "The General's personal bodyguard, plus a Cloud Knight Elite Guard—of course his position is very high!" Miss Sushang: "Strictly speaking, Hearing Yanqing is also an officer of our Cloud Knights!"

Furina: "So young and already in a high position—wonder if the people below can accept it?"

Stelle: "How dare they not?"

Stelle: "Let Hearing Yanqing's flying swords poke a few holes in them, and they'll accept it."

March 7th: "In the military, whoever's strongest takes the top, right?"

March 7th: "Hearing Yanqing may be young—just a minor, really—but his strength is rock solid!"

March 7th: "Like those Buli just now—look at the other Cloud Knight soldiers, they had a really hard time resisting them."

March 7th: "But in Hearing Yanqing's hands, within just a few exchanges, they were all wiped out."

March 7th: "Isn't that just the naked gap in strength?"

Hu Tao: "Speaking of which, judging from what just happened, Luofu Xianzhou's security forces really are far stronger than Penacony's!"

Hu Tao: "First, in terms of professionalism, Luo Fu's Cloud Knights win by a huge margin!"

Zhong Li: "After all, it's an army that frequently wages war—well-coordinated, with strict military discipline. Such performance is hardly surprising."

Amber: "If those brutal Buli had appeared in Penacony, I'd even doubt those hounds could stop them from going on a killing spree!"

Robin: "Penacony's security has truly made a fool of itself in front of everyone."

Robin: "After this, the Zuyiding Society will definitely strengthen things in this area."

Robin: "Still, if we want to match a military force, we still have a long way to go."

Venti: "I actually think it's quite normal. Penacony doesn't go to war, so its security measures being weaker compared to Luofu Xianzhou is only to be expected!"

Stelle: "Not a big problem. Backed by the Harmony Family, even if the security is lacking, not many people would dare cause trouble."

Stelle: "After all, what fierce people the Family actually has inside—none of us really know."

The video continues.

"No wonder this captain—the envoy ship from Zhuming was a little too eager."

While Hearing Yanqing was lecturing,
