Watching the group gradually disappear into the distance, Jiang Ning stood there for a moment with his umbrella, then left in the opposite direction from them.

"That female general is so cool. It seems that there are some capable people under General Lei Dian's command."

Heureia slipped out when no one was around and said.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, it seems that the squad behind her was trained by her. You can tell from their eyes that they truly obey their commander."

"I bet this general is holding the line at the front... I just wonder what the situation is like with the rebels."

Heureia thought for a moment and said, "Who knows? But I'm quite interested."

Jiang Ning said, "Sister Liya, why are you interested in everything after you were resurrected?"

Heuria was a little embarrassed: "No, it's just that during the time I was dead, the outside world has developed so fast, it's no exaggeration to say it's changing every day."

"That's why I'm so curious..."

Jiang Ning sighed and slowly said:

"Well, since you're so curious, Sister Lia, how about we take a look at the battlefield another day?"

Heureia said, "This thing, can it really change the weather?"

Isn't it said that time waits for no one? Shouldn't this be a matter of chance?

Jiang Ning said, "It's probably soon. Rainy nights are a perfect time for a sneak attack. Besides, why do you think this general would take his trusted elite troops out on patrol?"

"Isn't this all to prevent a surprise attack from the enemy?"

"I see... So what do we do now?"

Jiang Ning pointed to a high mountain: "Over there, wait, and take a rest while you're at it."

…………

As night fell, the rain made the silent beach somewhat eerie, with flashes of lightning occasionally making one worry that something bad might appear on the shore.

Jiang Ning and Heulia stayed under a rock to shelter them from the rain, but because it was nighttime, they couldn't light a fire to avoid being discovered.

However, Jiang Ning brought out the magical artifact of the Immortal Lord of Invention.

A heater that is dark and concealed, yet warmer than a regular campfire.

It only requires a tiny bit of elemental power to run naturally all night.

The cost is not high, and it is very safe.

Under Jiang Ning's influence, Xianyun is now gradually making his inventions more advanced and backward compatible.

Anyway, Xianyun is having a great time being a teacher in Liyue.

During the day, I mentor promising young talents, and if I see someone less intelligent, I scold them to improve my mood. Of course, afterwards, I'll reassign that person to a position that's truly suitable for them.

I spend my nights in seclusion researching, mainly because I don't want to sleep.

Because of this, and also because of not eating, Jiang Ning kept talking about it for a long time.

"Xiao Jiangning, are you reliable? It's already past midnight, and there's still no sign of anything."

Heureia couldn't help but say.

Jiang Ning said, "Don't worry... Look, it's here."

Jiang Ning pointed into the distance, his red eyes were replaced by golden light, and his pupils gradually turned into vertical pupils.

Although Jiang Ning had restored Heulia's powers, her eyesight was not as good as Jiang Ning's because she no longer had the body of a demon god. Therefore, she squinted and looked for a long time but did not find anything wrong. Then, she had a sudden idea.

The power of the Salt God was quietly released, and the salt in the seawater transformed into Heureia's sentinels, feeding back everything.

"Ah this..."

Heureia saw the rebels' advance and her expression was complicated.

Jiang Ning was also somewhat puzzled: "No, these people don't even have proper armor or weapons... They're going to the battlefield in plain clothes with hoes? Many of them are as thin as bamboo poles... But their march is well-paced, which shows that the general on the other side must be someone who is well-versed in military strategy and knows how to deploy troops."

However, Jiang Ning was only slightly surprised. Although they had the advantage of strategic deployment, he did not think they could defeat the well-trained Shogunate army.

Then Jiang Ning saw the Shogunate army that had been waiting there for a long time, and he fell silent.

Not to mention, there weren't many people guarding the pass, and they were all dozing off...

It was completely different from the group behind Kujo Sara that he had seen during the day.

Jiang Ning suddenly understood.

How could a general as serious as Kujo Sara manage to fight a back-and-forth battle?

This is clearly a case of the Shogunate having nine strategists, the opposing side having a brilliant advisor, and then, upon closer inspection, a whole bunch of others who are dragging them down.

That's very fair.

157. Night Palace

"I am bored……"

Heureia sat there, resting her chin on her hands, looking utterly bored.

"Sister Lia, didn't you say you wanted to see the battlefield? Why do you look so bored now that I've brought you here? You're so hard to please, Sister Lia."

Jiang Ning joked.

Heureia said, "You're one to talk! I thought it would be a fair battle between two armies on the battlefield, but what happened? Isn't this just a village brawl?"

A group of people, armed with hoes, started out fighting in an orderly fashion, but it quickly devolved into a chaotic brawl, eventually turning into a village-wide brawl.

There are only a few people in total.

The shogunate army in the middle was small in number and was defeated one after another. Meanwhile, the resistance army on the other side was surrounded. Those inside could not get out, and those outside could not get in. Most of them were just holding up hoes and carrying poles to bolster their morale.

Jiang Ning stood up and clapped his hands: "Alright, there's nothing else to see... huh?"

Just as Jiang Ning decided to rest, he seemed to see a flash of lightning in the distance.

"Wait, this is getting interesting."

Heureia also saw the lightning, and then Salt told her that a very powerful Genshin Impact had arrived.

"Is that... the Admiral Kujo we saw during the day?"

The arrow shot straight into the sky like a thunderbolt, then suddenly burst forth, illuminating the once dark battlefield with a dazzling purple light.

Meanwhile, the rebels who surrounded the small group were counter-encircled by a much larger number of Shogunate troops.

On the battlefield, someone seemed to be shouting something like, "Kill these Thunder General's lackeys!" or "For Lord Orobas!"

"Is he fighting for his deceased god again?"

A hint of pity appeared in Heulia's eyes.

"Why can't we just live a good life?"

Jiang Ning said, "Sister Liya, you underestimate the faith some believers have in their gods... Besides, take Liyue for example, haven't many people been exiled from the Eight Gates?"

Heureia sighed. Indeed, she had heard about this as well. Because she believed that she had been ambushed and killed by Morax, and because of the self-deceptive accounts of some of her followers, many of them believed that the lies were the truth.

But when Jiang Ning presented the truth to them, they believed that the truth was the lie.

That's why they were expelled by the other Seven Stars and Eight Gates.

They have now become refugees.

Heureia whispered, "After I'm officially resurrected, can we...?"

Jiang Ning interrupted Heuria: "Sister Lia, don't say that. It's impossible. Not to mention whether the people of Liyue would agree, do you really think some people believe in you? Are they here to avenge you? Most of them are just using this as an excuse to do their own thing, giving themselves a reason to convince themselves."

After all, many of those who were expelled were not followers of the Salt God. How could a god who had been dead for so many years have so many followers?

Are you kidding me? While I feel bad for Heuria, do you think she's a pure and beautiful star goddess? Or Alicia?

Heulia was a little downcast: "It's all my fault..."

Jiang Ning patted Heulia's arm, signaling her not to blame herself too much.

During their conversation, the battlefield had entered a heated phase, or rather, after the shogunate army formed an encirclement, the situation became one-sided.

"Well...those people who were surrounded, looking completely panicked, and with that listless demeanor while on guard duty, didn't seem to be faking it..."

Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

"Could it be that this Kujo Sara actually included the stagnation of his own useless subordinates in his calculations? What a talent."

Jiang Ning had heard of Kujo Sara, the top general under General Raiden, who was extremely loyal to him.

Add to that the Tengu bloodline...

He's basically a die-hard fan and sycophant of General Raiden.

If not, Jiang Ning's desire to poach talent is stirring again.

"The resistance's reinforcements have also arrived."

Heureia composed herself and looked in the direction of the rebels with a strange expression.

What are these people doing? You've surrounded me, but you think you've surrounded me? Actually, I'm the one surrounding you.

Actually, I've been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for you to surround me.

What kind of nesting doll is this?

However, even Heuria, who knew nothing about warfare, could see that the resistance forces had clearly been caught off guard.

Because the people providing support were scattered and looked flustered.

"Is Inazuma teeming with monsters...? The shogunate's grand prize is a tengu, while the rebels' prize is, um, a Shiba Inu?"

Jiang Ning saw the general leading the resistance forces. He was a man with a dog's tail and ears, not very tall, but exceptionally agile.

And it was also someone who used a bow and arrow.

It was a complete mess, with layers upon layers of people inside and out.

However, the shogunate army was the shogunate army after all, and in no time they had the enemy in retreat, and in the end they could only flee.

Kujo Sara waved his hand, and the army behind him chased after the rebels, their main objective being to beat them while they were down.

"No need to watch anymore, it's over... These rebels probably came out on their own, we need to send someone to rescue them."
