Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

“My child, I must correct you on one point: it is true that I ran away, but I did not betray you.”

Kentie glanced at Anxin and Baidai.

"Perfect timing, you need some time to absorb the effects of the medicine, let's talk first."

Anxin and Baidai nodded.

"Let's talk about you guys first. Bai Dai, why haven't you contacted me for so long since you went back?"

“They were watching me very closely, and there were two Fire Debt Settlement officers at the level of Inspectors General, so I couldn’t do anything about it. It wasn’t until Anxin and another person drew one of their attention that I had a chance.”

"Huh? There are two debt settlement officers? And both of them are at the inspector general level?"

Anxin was taken aback.

Today, a Fire Debt Settlement Officer at the Inspector General level spent half a day chasing them down. If there were two of them, what would happen?

Why didn't I see the other one?

"That's right, there were two. After you lured one away, I seized the opportunity to take out the other, so only one managed to chase after us." Bai Dai recounted the outcome in a calm tone.

"Besides, it's also thanks to his excessive rambling that we were able to survive."

Anxin silently gave a thumbs up.

It has to be you.

"So what information have you found out?"

"Ito and his group have already colluded with the Fool Clan. They want to overthrow the current Coral Palace, support Ito to take power, and then start a long war against the Shogunate to facilitate their experiments. There are already quite a few Fool Clan members lurking on Umijima Island."

Moreover, we've alerted them today. Ito will likely launch a full-scale attack soon, so we need to get the message out before they do.

Kentucky nodded.

"Alright, wait for this young man to recover his strength and then hurry on your way. There may be pursuers behind you, and I will take care of holding them off for you."

"This Mr. Kentucky... cough, Mr. Kentucky, why can't you just take Bai Dai with you?"

"Can I take care of both of you by myself, or can you hold off the pursuers?"

"..."

"Even if I give you the weapon, you won't know how to use it. Be careful not to blow yourself up with a grenade."

Anxin always felt that he was being looked down upon.

"Besides, I'm currently in a state of defection..."

Upon hearing Kentkey mention his defection, Anxin couldn't help but ask what had happened.

"Nothing much, just some common frame-up."

"Because the death of the first investigator was so outrageous, I felt something was wrong when I received the investigation order, so I applied for weapons. Maybe the higher-ups also thought it was too outrageous, so they approved it. Look, these are what I'm holding now."

Kentkey leaned back slightly, revealing the pistol and several wooden-handled grenades he was carrying.

"As expected, I encountered numerous obstacles as soon as I started my investigation, and some people even threatened me. It's ridiculous that I was afraid of their threats."

Later, the investigator who set off at the same time as me disappeared. I didn't know what he had found out, but I realized that they were probably going to take action against me as well, so I planned to evacuate. However, I was too late. On the way to evacuate, I encountered the assassin.

Unlike the other investigator, I used to be a Shadow Hunter, so my combat skills were slightly stronger. I also specifically requested weapons. I fought those assassins and finally managed to escape.

However, after escaping, I realized that they would definitely frame me. I was very familiar with this kind of thing, as it had happened before in the Shadow Chasing Court. Moreover, the two sides had not completely broken ties back then, so I did not return to the Coral Palace for the time being, but planned to investigate the matter myself first.

Then... I ran into Momoyo again during my investigation. At that time, I was worried about how to infiltrate the enemy, and she had also lost contact with the Final Fantasy, worrying about how to get the message out. So we just hit it off and started working together.

"Hey, speaking of which, how's the other investigator who came with me doing? I was in such a rush when I met with Bai Dai before that I didn't have a chance to ask him."

Kentie looked at Anxin.

"He died, falling off a cliff. However, he left some clues in a special way, which helped Coral Palace find the enemy, leading to the current situation."

"That's it..."

Kentucky seemed a little dazed, and a silence fell between them.

"Have you all rested enough?"

Kentucky suddenly spoke up.

"We've rested enough, let's get going. We're still quite a distance from Coral Palace, and Baidai won't last much longer."

"Then you..."

"I already said I'm here to hold off the enemy. Don't worry, once I find the evidence that can clear my name, I'll go back."

"let's go."

Kentie waved his hand, making a gesture to shoo away the flies, signaling them to leave quickly.

Anxin picked up Baidai and left.

Along the way, they did not encounter any more enemies. Whether it was because the enemy had no other pursuers or because of Kentie's efforts, the two of them successfully arrived at the gate of Coral Palace.

The guards at the gate saw Anxin carrying the duo Bai Dai and came forward to inquire, only to discover that Bai Dai was seriously injured.

"You need medical help, right? She needs immediate treatment."

An Xin was surprised that the guards at the entrance of Coral Palace were so polite.

"Yes, of course we need to see Ms. Xinhai and Mr. Jiangming immediately. The enemy is about to launch an attack. Please inform them that An Xin and Zhong Mofan of the Southern Cross Fleet are requesting an audience."

Southern Cross fleet?

The guard gave him a surprised look.

Why are the people from Southern Cross dressed in such tattered clothes?

Huh? Wait a minute, are these still clothes from Wanglong Village?

Which one is the final installment? Is it the injured girl in his arms?

No, no... the enemy is about to attack?

The guards suddenly realized what was happening.

"What enemy?"

“Those [natives], and their army, and possibly the Fools.”

"Okay, I understand. Please wait a moment."

He immediately turned around and began issuing orders one by one.

"You, go find the doctor right now. Xiao Zhao, go find Lord Xin Hai and Lord Jiang Ming. The rest of you, load your weapons, release the safety, and increase vigilance."

The doctor was the first to arrive at the scene, but after looking at Bai Dai's appearance, he shook his head.

"Your eyeball is beyond saving; it will probably have to be removed. Aside from that, it's just some superficial wounds. I'll stop the bleeding and bandage it for you, but you'll probably have scars on your face."

"No problem, doctor, please bandage me first. After I finish explaining, I'll go with you to remove my eyeball."

"Okay." The doctor led Bai Dai to the side, silently removed the simple bandages from Bai Dai's body, reapplied the medicine, and re-bandaged her completely.

Soon after, Xin Hai and Jiang Ming, who were sleeping soundly in the Coral Palace, were also hurriedly summoned down.

"Huh? Isn't this Mr. An Xin? What's going on..."

Jiang Ming was still puzzled. How could An Xin be so different from the one he had met during the day?

"Mr. Jiang Ming, there's no time to explain, please believe me."

He recounted his recent experiences.

Xin Hai and Jiang Ming's gazes gradually turned serious.

"I know their detailed attack plan, but I don't have any documents, so I can only describe it verbally. They have been prepared for a long time and are just waiting for the order, which will most likely be given tonight."

Bai Dai, who had already been bandaged up and was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, slowly walked over with the doctor's help.

"..."

Xin Hai and Jiang Ming exchanged a glance.

The person who came here is not kind...

"Guard platoon, wake everyone up, set up machine guns, and build machine gun positions."

Chapter 83 What drugs did he take?

Jiang Ming found a clerk to take notes, and then had Bai Dai repeat the information she had found out.

Only after Hyakuyo recounted the enemy's arrangements in great detail did they learn of this meticulous plan.

The enemy had a total of just over 20,000 available troops, and they mobilized almost all of them for this operation.

According to their plan, a small team of about three thousand people, the first team plus an unknown number of Fools, would attack Coral Palace and take out the three leaders of Coral Palace: Xin Hai, Jiang Ming, and Wu Lang.

The second, third, and fourth squads will occupy the industrial zone. Once a stalemate ensues, they will rely on the industrial zone for logistical support and restrict the Coral Palace's logistics.

This is of paramount importance in the other side's plan. On the one hand, the industrial zone has complex terrain, is heavily defended, and has a large number of troops stationed there. On the other hand, it is of great significance to the logistical support of both sides.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current situation is that whoever controls the industrial zone controls Haiqi Island.

Another reason is that the enemy is not very confident in taking down the three leaders of the Coral Palace.

Apart from Jiang Ming, the other two also possess the Eye of God and are both seasoned users skilled in its use. Given the complex terrain of the Coral Palace, even if they cannot defeat the enemy, they will most likely be able to escape.

In addition, the fifth squad attacked the dock to seize the fleet, so that they could escape by boat immediately if they failed. The sixth squad attacked Beidou and his men's residence. Their main task was to delay Beidou and prevent him from leading his men back to reinforce Nan Shizi, thus buying time for the fifth squad.

The remaining two thousand men formed a separate team to attack the Ocean Academy.

To be honest, I don't know what the other person is thinking.

More than forty people who possess the Eye of God gathered there. Although they have now abandoned the military for the academic world and switched to scientific research, it doesn't mean they won't fight.

If they coordinate well, these forty-odd people can easily take on a thousand.
