Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"Nothing has happened in the capital for the time being, but with such a large battle taking place outside, there will definitely be some chaos in the capital. I can't guarantee that someone won't take advantage of the situation. I need you to be in charge of guarding the capital and ensuring the safety of the people in the capital."

"I understand. The area outside the city gates is now in your hands, Julius."

Vice-Commander Julius is hailed as the second-best in the Knights Order. As for who is the first, that would naturally be Reinhard. However, Reinhard's title is the strongest person on earth, while Julius's title is the best knight. In terms of being a knight, he is even better than Reinhard. Although Reinhard is also a very good knight, his overwhelming combat power and the title of Sword Saint overshadow his identity as a knight.

With two squads of guard knights assembled, Julius set off quickly and soon arrived at the slums.

However, upon arriving at the slum, he was shocked to see two enormous craters, each tens of meters in diameter.

"This is....."

The equally shocked knights also began to discuss the matter animatedly.

"How was such a huge crater created? Was it by a magician?"

"Caused by a fire-attribute mage's attack?"

"Even a fire mage couldn't possibly achieve this level, and there are no traces of flames burning on the ground."

"It was most likely caused by an earth-elemental mage. Earth-elemental magic should be able to cause the ground to crack."

"But creating such a large crater, with such a high consumption of magic power, is there really anyone who can withstand it?"

Julius stared at the crater in front of him with a grave expression. He couldn't figure out who had done this attack. No known famous magicians or elves should have been able to do something like this.

At this moment, the knights who had been sent out to investigate the surrounding area returned.

"Commander Julius, we investigated the surrounding slums and found that everyone was unconscious, but they were not injured; they were simply unconscious."

"Unconscious? Is the affected area quite large?"

"The area is very large; it feels like people within a radius of at least a thousand meters are unconscious."

"Could it be a large-scale control spell?"

Julius's expression grew even more serious. How much damage could it cause to the ground, even enough to knock out all the ordinary people within a kilometer radius? Could it be that the Witch Cult's Archbishops of Sin had all been mobilized?

"Julius, no need to think, I know who did it."

The sudden sound behind him interrupted Julius's thoughts, and he turned around.

"Reinhard!?"

"What are you doing?"

Julius was shocked to see Reinhard's clothes tattered and both arms completely exposed.

"Could it be that you were the one who caused this destruction?"

"I couldn't do it alone."

Reinhard shook his head with a wry smile.

"Have you already eliminated the enemy?"

No, I lost.

"What!?"

Reinhard's admission of defeat had a tremendous impact on Julius and the other knights around him.

"You lost?"

"That's right, I lost. Although I didn't use my full strength, it's obvious that my opponent didn't use their full strength either. This relatively large crater was blasted out during our fight."

"The other, smaller one, was when they were leaving. I tried to stop them, and then they attacked. I was knocked back by the impact of their attack."

Reinhardt's expression was one of utter helplessness.

"Who is the enemy?"

"I don't know. All I know is that the one I fought was just one of them. He said he was a pirate."

"Pirate?"

Julius was greatly shocked. "Damn it, you're so powerful that you became a pirate? Someone who can make even a sword saint suffer a defeat could easily lead a small country to establish itself. If that doesn't work, you could join a country as a duke instead of becoming king. You could join whichever country you want, but instead you went and became a pirate."

"I don't know about the other two, but they also gave me a very dangerous feeling. One of them could cut through space. They cut through space and left right in front of me. I wanted to stop them, and then that smaller giant crater appeared."

Reinhard suddenly gasped as he said this.

"How is the capital? When I was fighting them, they said they had accomplices inside the capital and lured me out to do something there. What's the situation in the capital now?"

"Nothing happened in the capital while you were fighting the invaders."

Julius's expression changed drastically after he finished speaking.

"Damn it, they must be waiting for me to bring the knights out. That way, no one will be able to stop their activities in the capital!"

Anxious, Julius hurriedly called for his men to prepare to return, but Reinhard stopped him.

"No need. I haven't heard any major commotion in the capital, so everything should be fine."

"why?"

"Because when I was fighting that powerful man who called himself a pirate, his companions told me that there was a companion in the capital who was just as powerful as that pirate. If he was really as powerful as that pirate, there would be no need to wait until you left the capital before you acted."

Reinhard shook his head.

"Moreover, they also possess the ability to cut through space and move quickly, allowing them to freely enter and exit the capital. And so far, there has been no movement within the capital. They probably just said that to me on purpose, trying to make me anxious."

Julius believed Reinhard's assessment, but then he became even more confused.

"So who exactly are they? And what is their purpose?"

"do not know."

Reinhard shook his head and then looked at the ground around the crater.

"Furthermore, I also took a look after the battle. The aftershocks of my fight with that powerful pirate were contained within a very small area by his companions and did not cause much damage to the surrounding slums. This indicates that they did not have any desire to cause destruction. They deliberately lured me out, but only fought me once, and then seemed to leave for some reason."

"It was as if they deliberately lured me out and then had a fight with me."

"How could there be such a bored and powerful person? They must have some ulterior motive!"

Julius shook his head, rejecting Reinhard's view.

"In short, tell me the characteristics of those three people. I need to get everyone in the Knights on their side."

"Ok."

Reinhard began to describe the physical characteristics of Li Yue and the other two.

The three people he mentioned had already arrived at the slums on the other side of the capital.

Inside the dimly lit slum exchange, Li Yue and her two companions stood in front of 486. Behind 486 were a bewildered Emilia, a blonde loli, and a very strong and tall old man, though the old man was already seriously injured.

Opposite Li Yue and the others, a scantily clad woman was curiously observing the three of them. In fact, everyone except 486 was curious about Li Yue and the others, because they had appeared suddenly, emerging from a door that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere in a bizarre way.

The woman held a special machete and looked at Li Yue and the other two with a smile.

"Newcomers, is there anything I can help you with?"

First, there were three strangers: one who looked mysterious, one who looked gentle, and one who looked silly, but her intuition told her that these three were dangerous.

Although she was an assassin, she wasn't arrogant enough to attack every stranger she met, especially these three who looked dangerous.

However, Li Yue ignored her and instead looked at 486, who was still panting heavily beside her.

"Hey, 486, are you alright?"

"It's alright, it's alright, but if you had come any later, something would have happened!"

486 took a deep breath and relaxed.

"So I've already said that as long as you encounter any problems, just call us and we'll come right over. We won't let anything happen to you."

While Li Yue and his two friends were playing with Lai Aotian, the storyline on Subaru's side reached its final battle. The Bowel Hunter appeared and started fighting Subaru and Emilia, who arrived later. Emilia, as an elf user, used fire-attribute elf magic to try her best to defend herself. When she couldn't defend herself anymore, Subaru quickly called for Li Yue in the live stream. Li Yue then opened a portal and came directly over, which led to the current situation.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Emilia looked at Li Yue and the other two, feeling a little nervous; their appearance was too strange.

"Don't worry about them, they are my friends, I called them to help."

486 immediately popped up a thumbs-up explanation.

"We couldn't beat her just now, but we don't need to worry now. The three seniors can easily take care of her for us!"

"Oh?"

The woman opposite couldn't help but laugh when she heard what 486 said.

"So you've come here to fight me too. I don't know who you are, but that doesn't matter. I don't care about those things. All I need to know is that I'll be cutting your intestines open soon."

"Hey, miss, there's no need to say such scary things. If I could, I would never want to fight a woman."

Shanks couldn't help but laugh it off.

"Indeed, I don't really want to fight this lady either."

Aizen smiled gently, expressing his desire to avoid battle, which surprised Subaru standing next to him.

"Wait, seniors, aren't you all going to make a move?"

"After all, we're just here for fun."

"That's right, we just came here to have fun."

Shanks and Aizen nodded simultaneously.

"That group leader, senior?"

486 looked at Li Yue with a pleading expression.

"Don't worry, they're here to have fun, I'm here to help you."

"That's fine, that's fine."
