Genshin Impact: The Water God Wants Me to Confess

Chapter 428: Movements in the Abyss

While Alecino and Finnina were immersed in their love and enjoying the wonderful time of their own, Mondstadt was shrouded in a haze and the situation became more worrying.

In the mysterious ruins of the Wind Dragon, Amber, the scout knight who was tasked with monitoring the every move of the Abyss Cult, stared ahead with a serious expression.

Suddenly, she discovered some extremely unusual signs—the members of the Abyss Cult who had been hiding in the dark seemed to be stirring, as if some major conspiracy was about to surface.

Realizing the critical situation, Amber did not dare to delay for a moment. She immediately used all her strength and rushed towards Mondstadt at lightning speed.

Along the way, the wind whistled past, but Amber's heart was always tightly gripped, and all kinds of bad situations that might happen kept emerging in her mind.

Finally, after a difficult journey, Amber successfully arrived at the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt.

At this moment, she was already panting and sweating profusely, but the sense of mission in her heart to pass on the information drove her not to stop for a moment.

She didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off her forehead, nor did she take a sip of water to moisten her dry throat. She rushed straight to the office of acting leader Qin like a gust of wind.

Because she was in such a hurry, Amber even forgot the basic etiquette of knocking and broke into the room directly.

“Captain Qin! Something terrible has happened! The Abyss… The Abyss Cult, it, it…”

Amber gasped for breath and anxiously tried to tell Captain Qin what she had seen and heard as soon as possible so that this wise and decisive leader could make a timely response.

However, when Amber rushed into the office, she was surprised to find that Captain Qin was not the only one in the room at this moment.

The knowledgeable librarian, Lisa, was sitting gracefully flipping through books;

Kaia, the dashing cavalry captain, crossed his arms and gazed out the window thoughtfully;

Master Diluc from the Dawn Winery still had a gloomy expression, and his deep eyes revealed a hint of worry;

And there is Albedo, who is known as a genius alchemist, who is concentrating on fiddling with the experimental equipment in his hands.

These core figures of Mondstadt gathered together, obviously because they realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Amber, take a breath first. We are all here. Look at your current state. Where is the shadow of the lively and cheerful scout knight you usually are?"

Kaia said softly to Amber with a faint smile on his face.

However, even though he had a smile on his face, the attentive Amber could immediately see the hidden uneasiness behind that smile.

"Huh, huh..."

Amber nodded heavily, like a drowning person who finally grabbed a life-saving straw. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her disordered breathing caused by nervousness.

Then, under the concerned and anxious gazes of everyone, she slowly opened her mouth and began to tell the shocking information she had discovered.

"Everyone, I have been lurking near the Wind Dragon Ruins for some time, closely monitoring the actions of the Abyss Cult."

"Just now, I witnessed something extremely unusual. For some reason, the Abyss Cult, which has always been secretive and low-key, suddenly changed their previous style of hiding their heads and showing their tails."

"I saw them gathering in large numbers at the Wind Dragon Ruins, and a large number of monsters were gathering from all directions."

"Moreover, among this group of monsters, there are not only many that are as huge as mountains, but also many powerful monsters that exude a creepy and extremely terrifying aura."

Having said this, Amber shuddered involuntarily, as if those hideous monsters were rushing towards her with bared fangs and claws.

"To be honest, I am completely baffled as to why the Abyss Cult is gathering monsters on such a large scale."

"But after careful consideration, I can't help but have an extremely terrifying guess in my mind - perhaps, the reason why the Abyss Cult summoned so many monsters to gather at the Wind Dragon Ruins is very likely to be brewing a shocking conspiracy against our Mondstadt!"

After saying this, Amber looked at Captain Qin standing in front of the crowd with a look of fear and uneasiness on her face, as if waiting for this respected leader to make a decision.

Headmaster Qin sat quietly in front of her desk, her beautiful and resolute face shrouded in deep worry.

When Amber rushed into the room and delivered the message, Captain Qin's eyes remained on the documents in front of her, but her mind was obviously completely occupied by this sudden information.

As time went by, Captain Qin's expression became more and more solemn, with uneasiness and anxiety interweaving on her face like dark clouds.

She held the pen tightly in her hand, and the veins on the back of her hand bulged, showing her inner tension.

However, as the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius, she is fully aware that she shoulders the heavy responsibility of maintaining the safety of Mondstadt and cannot allow panic to spread among the people easily.

So, Captain Qin took a deep breath, as if he wanted to use this breath to suppress the panic that was surging in his heart.

She slowly raised her head, stared at Amber with a serious and calm look, and asked, "Amber, you are the only one among us who witnessed the Abyss Cult gathering monsters. Think carefully, how many monsters did they gather?"

Hearing Captain Qin's question, Amber's brows instantly furrowed, and the scene she saw at that time began to flash rapidly through her mind.

The hideous and densely packed figures of monsters swayed before her eyes, making her feel a chill in her heart.

After a while, Amber came back to his senses and replied in a heavy tone, "There are too many of them to count. They are almost filling up the entire Wind Dragon Ruins! If I have to make a conservative estimate, I think there are at least more than 100,000!"

After saying this, Amber's expression became more serious.

After hearing Amber's answer, Captain Qin nodded slightly, indicating that she had understood the situation. But in fact, the number mentioned by Amber was too conservative, and Qin, who knew the history of the Wind Dragon Ruins very well, knew it.

As the palace of the Fierce Wind Devil, it was once the place where the ancestors of Mondstadt lived. Its vast area is not much less than that of Mondstadt.

The number of monsters gathered by the Abyss Cult must be far more than 100,000, and should be more than doubled.

Three hundred thousand monsters? Is the Abyss Cult finally going to declare war on the Seven Kingdoms?

Jean is very worried. Mondstadt's core force is seriously insufficient. Two-thirds of the knights have gone on the expedition with Grand Commander Falga. With Mondstadt's current defensive strength, can it stop the invasion of 300,000 monsters?

That’s right! You can go find the God of Wind! He will definitely not sit idly by!
