Barbara noticed her sister's exhaustion, took Wu Di's hand, and led him away, wanting to give her sister more space to rest.

"Ah."

Watching the two figures leave, Qin sat back down, looking at the documents in front of her that she had already processed two-thirds of.

Once you've roused yourself and finished what's in front of you, take a break and relax.

-

Seeing Barbara looking preoccupied, Wu Di offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, Barbara, the band leader and the others will find a way."

"Yes, I know. I'm just worried about my sister, worried that she might suddenly collapse one day. I'm so on edge, and there's nothing I can do for her."

During a casual conversation, Barbara told Wu Di about her family situation, saying that her parents divorced when she was young.

The father took Barbara away, and the mother took Qin away. Although they didn't usually call each other sisters, they cared about each other.

To be honest, Wu Di was very envious of Barbara's words, envious of the kinship between the two sisters and the invisible bond between them.

Then take the initiative to speak.

"Yes, isn't the way you help people in the church the greatest help you can give your sister?"

"With you, the people of Mondstadt will no longer be troubled by suffering, which will put your sister at ease in this regard, and she won't have to be distracted by dealing with these matters."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Xiao Di. I'll keep trying! Go Barbara!"

Wu Di's words of comfort helped Barbara regain her confidence, and she even shouted her usual slogan.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

But the next moment, a huge bell rang throughout the entire city of Mondstadt, just as Wu Di was completely bewildered.

Barbara had realized what was happening and began guiding the surrounding people to gather at the Cathedral of the West Wind.

The bell tolls three times when the enemy attacks the city, and six times when the monsters attack. Now, the bell has rung more than three times, ringing six times before stopping.

The people around Barbara, awakened by her voice, immediately set off towards the West Wind Cathedral.

Upon hearing the alarm bell, Qin hadn't even had time to process what was happening before she ran towards the city gate.

Once Qin's mind came to a head, she began to have a series of questions.

(The alarm bells rang just a while ago, why are they ringing again now? Has Stormterror returned?)

(Impossible, Lord Barbatos has already taken the Stormterror away, so what monster could possibly besiege the city?)

(The monsters have mysteriously disappeared during this period?)

Chapter 19 The Hymn to Humanity is the Hymn to Courage

Having realized this, Qin quickened her pace and arrived at the city wall. At this time, the remaining soldiers also climbed the city wall one after another.

From a distance, it looked like a dark mass of Hilichurls, and they were emanating an eerie black aura.

"Quickly! Close the city gates!"

The city gates slowly closed, but this did not bring Qin much sense of security.

There are too many Hilichurls.

There were so many that even Qin wondered if all the Hilichurls in Mondstadt were here.

What happened to the knights who went to slay the monsters?

Qin suddenly realized the problem: if all the monsters were here, wouldn't the knights who went to exterminate them be in trouble?!

completely annihilated.......?

The thought suddenly popped into Qin's mind, almost making her faint from the pressure.

Clearly, a series of major events have piled up at once, coupled with a lack of rest.

This has caused Qin's mental state to be stretched to a critical point, making her like a tightrope walker, on the verge of collapse.

"Damn it..."

Qin could only force herself not to think about these things and then focus all her attention on the present moment.

Just to be on the safe side, the number of people sent to hunt down the monsters was two-thirds of the current Knights of Mondstadt, plus the leaders Kaeya and Diluc.

If the entire army is wiped out, it will be a huge blow to the current Knights Order, and even to the entire city of Mondstadt.

At this moment, a lady dressed in gorgeous clothes came to Qin's side.

He glanced at the densely packed Hilichurls in the distance, adopted an detached expression, and spoke in a very casual tone.

"Do you need the Fools' help?"

"As long as you agree to the conditions we've stated."

"Otherwise, with the current strength of your knight order, you might have a hard time dealing with a monster siege of this scale."

Faced with the woman's opportunistic act, Qin suddenly raised her head, her extremely serious expression concealing her anger.

"No need! Our Knights Order can weather this crisis on our own!"

"I will not agree to the conditions of you Fools!"

"Hehe, whatever you want. In the end, it's not the people of our Winter Kingdom who will die anyway."

The woman left after saying that, since she was just there to check things out and give it a try.

Whether she agrees or not is irrelevant to her; she has always had only one goal.

Watching the woman's departing figure, Qin took several deep breaths to regain her composure, and then looked at the other soldiers.

Clearly, the huge numerical disparity had severely dampened the soldiers' morale.

Because this is a war where there is no chance of survival, no one can remain fearless in the face of death.

"Knights of Favonius! Form ranks!"

The next moment, the sound of the zither resounded throughout the entire city wall, and at the same time, the soldiers instinctively and quickly assembled together.

56 people is the number of soldiers currently present, plus Qin, making it 57.

“I know what you are afraid of. No one can remain fearless in the face of death.”

"But! Our family, friends, loved ones, and children behind us can make us fearless in the face of death!"

"And now! It is a time of life and death for Mondstadt, and we are knights! Knights who will defend our homeland!"

"For the sake of those behind us! What reason do we have not to stand at the forefront!?"

Qin Na's infectious and impassioned words resonated in everyone's ears, instantly boosting the morale of every soldier.

One of the soldiers shouted the slogan "Fearless!" which inspired everyone, and they all spontaneously and in unison shouted the same slogan.

"Fearless!"

"Fearless!"

Seeing the soldiers regain their morale, Qin nodded.

"Very good, everyone, get to your posts and prepare!"

"Oh!!!"

"Hey! Captain Qin! Let's count us adventurers in this war!"

Just as the Knights were on high alert, a shout rang out from within Mondstadt.

He is Serius, the branch president of the Adventurers' Guild.

Behind him now followed a group of adventurers, all fully armed.

"When it comes to dealing with monsters, who can compare to us adventurers!"

"Yeah, right! Hahahaha."

"Thank you all."

When Qin saw this scene, her eyes welled up with tears. They were telling themselves...

The Knights were not alone; she bowed slightly to express her gratitude.

"Hey, Commander Qin, there's no need to bow so deeply to our brothers and sisters."

When Serius saw the lyre leader bow his head to them in gratitude, he quickly stopped him and spoke up.

“We are all Mondstadt people. Now that Mondstadt is in trouble, we can’t just stand up, right? What’s the point of being adventurers? We might as well go home and farm.”

"Yeah, haha."

“That’s right, Captain Jean, Mondstadt is in trouble, we can’t just stand by and do nothing!”

"That's right!"

Listening to the adventurer's words, Qin felt a warmth in her heart. At that moment, she understood what she was protecting.

"Then let's fight side by side!"

"it is good!!!"

The anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage.

Perhaps because they had been harassed by the Stormterror recently, every citizen evacuated quickly and safely.

The streets were now deserted, and only then did Wu Di have time to inquire about the current situation.

"Barbara, what's going on?"

"Xiao Di, the six chimes just now meant that monsters are attacking the city."

"Then let's hurry up and go help!"

Wu Di knew his own limitations; at the very least, he could have an extra helper, especially since Barbara and the others had been taking such good care of him these past few days.

He should repay some of the favor, because repaying kindness is in his nature.
