章 80: Chapter 79: The Battle is Coming
Wang Daoyi didn't know that Panglie had praised him. In his opinion, since he had already accepted the commission, it was basic professional ethics to promptly report any problems he discovered.
After changing shifts with Keqing in the middle of the night, he returned to the camp of Feiyun Commerce to rest. By the time he came back, everyone else had already rested, with only a few assistants keeping watch.
The next day, as dawn broke, Wang Daoyi's biological clock woke him up.
At his level, a short sleep was enough to restore his energy.
Stepping out of his tent, the people of Feiyun Commerce were preparing breakfast, or rather, Xiangling was preparing breakfast while the others assisted her.
"Brother Daoyi, the noodles are in the pot, help yourself. There are side dishes next to it!"
Seeing Wang Daoyi come out of his tent, Xiangling waved to him from afar, then continued to tend to the iron pot in her hands.
Wang Daoyi approached and saw the steaming noodles in the pot, unable to discern what they were exactly, probably some side dish for the noodles.
He scooped up a bowl of noodles and squatted down to eat nearby.
Before long, the entire camp came back to life, and the hustle and bustle returned to Qingce Village in the early morning.
Xingqiu and Chongyun also came to Wang Daoyi's side, both holding large bowls of noodles. Oh, Chongyun was eating cold noodles.
"Yesterday, our team ran around everywhere, supporting many people. But those adventurers are also formidable. Even though they don't have the Delusion, they are so skilled in dealing with monsters!"
While eating noodles, Xingqiu began to recount yesterday's events to Wang Daoyi.
Listening attentively, Wang Daoyi praised along whenever Xingqiu mentioned the exciting parts.
After finishing breakfast, Wang Daoyi finally mentioned the incident at the warehouse yesterday, reminding his companions to pay attention today and see if anyone was secretly sprinkling elemental powder on the ground.
Parting ways with the others, Wang Daoyi arrived at the warehouse area, where Keqing was still stationed. She had guarded the latter half of the night.
"Want to take a rest?" Wang Daoyi asked.
Keqing shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to.
As one of the Qixing, she was accustomed to such high-intensity work, not to mention that she didn't need to patrol while stationed here; it was enough for the Qixing Army patrollers to see her still here.
It wasn't a strenuous job at all.
Seeing Keqing shake her head, Wang Daoyi didn't say much either. He sat down in yesterday's spot and once again scanned the entire area.
The process was the same as yesterday, perhaps because they had spent the whole day getting acquainted, everyone's work efficiency today was noticeably faster than yesterday.
As time passed bit by bit, the sun rose higher, then began its descent, and another day went by.
Today was calm, with no unexpected occurrences.
On the second day of harvest, the progress reached forty percent.
On the third day of harvest, the progress reached sixty percent.
On the fourth day of harvest, the progress reached eighty percent.
As the remaining fields became fewer and fewer, the atmosphere not only didn't become lighter, but instead grew more solemn.
Everyone knew that the attack would come soon, but no matter how they patrolled, they found no anomalies. The only exception was the treasure-hoarders they caught on the first day.
In the tents outside the adventurers' camp, the same group of people gathered.
"Is everyone ready?"
The first to speak was still the big man with the axe at his waist.
"We're all set. Although the Millelith Army patrols tightly, we haven't been moving in the camp. Our brothers have piled treasures underwater above Qingce Village. As soon as the time comes, the entire river will be contaminated with elemental powder. Then, the monsters will attack Qingce Village, and we can take action!"
A triumphant member of the treasure-hunting team spoke.
"That's good. Haha, once this is done, we can challenge those old guys. It's better for us to control the treasure-hoarder!"
A fierce grin appeared on the big man's face, thinking of those old treasure-hunting teams who had been bullying others, he couldn't control his killing intent.
The other leaders of the treasure-hoarders also showed ferocity. Having become leaders of treasure-hoarders, they also disliked the interference of those old treasure-hoarders.
Baoer Sister became increasingly uneasy, feeling like there was a problem, but she couldn't pinpoint it.
During the conversation among the leaders of the treasure-hoarders, near the lake above Qingce Village.
Several figures resembling members of the treasure-hoarders knelt on the ground, tightly bound by blue threads, while Yelan stood beside them, holding the other end of the blue thread in her right hand.
"Have you checked if the elemental powder under the lake can be released according to plan?" Ignoring the cries of the treasure-hoarders, Yelan asked her spy.
"It's been checked. We can guarantee that the elemental powder will be released into the water flow on time and in the right amount."
Satisfied with her subordinate's answer, Yelan nodded. She loosened the blue thread in her hand, and the bound treasure-hoarders immediately collapsed to the ground.
"That's good. Tie up these guys and hand them over to Panglai for some reward!"
To Yelan, these treasure-hunting teams were no longer useful. It was not bad to let her subordinates exchange them for some reward.
"Also, inform Panglai that the treasure-hoarders plan to release the elemental powder at six o'clock this evening. Let him be prepared."
Under Yelan's interrogation, the treasure-hoarders responsible for releasing the elemental powder had already confessed the plan's timing.
Her subordinates nodded, picked up the collapsed treasure-hoarders, and hurried to the main camp of the Qixing Army at the foot of the mountain.
Receiving Yelan's message, Panglai's originally simple face showed a grim smile: "Haha, waited so long, finally can start. I'm almost rusted!"
As one of the generals of Liyue, under his simple appearance lay absolute cruelty towards the enemy.
"Someone, inform Millelith to be ready. If anything unexpected happens, let him take action. Since they're all brought here, there's no need to hold back!"
As Panglai issued one order after another, the entire camp of the Millelith Army quickly and quietly began to operate.
Outside Qingce Village, the huge treasure-hunting team also approached under the cover of the bamboo forest.
Among the treasure-hoarders, several Fatui People stood out conspicuously.
Holding an ancient book in his hand, the Doctor quietly read while being protected by several Fatui.
"No need to be so nervous. If someone can kill me, then your protection is meaningless!"
After glancing at the nervous expressions of the Fatui around him, the Doctor comforted them, although his comfort sounded more like mocking their weakness.
"Executor, do we really have to give these Anemo Delusion to the treasure-hoarders?"
Perhaps the Doctor's comfort had relaxed these Fatui a bit,
and the leading Fatui asked a question.
In their view, the Anemo Delusion, also known as the Delusion, was precious. Such items that could empower ordinary people were rare even in Liyue, let alone in the Snezhnayah.
But now, the Doctor had given dozens of them to the treasure-hoarders all at once.
"They're just damaged goods. Give them to them, we can destroy the defective products, and obtain some experimental data. What's wrong with that?"
"No, subordinates just feel that these despicable fellows are not worthy of being your test subjects!"
This leading Fatui was part of the Doctor's main force, having almost the same level of worship for the Doctor as they did for the Tsaritsa.
Hearing the subordinate's words, the Doctor smiled and didn't say much. In his view, a test subject was just a test subject, with no distinction between high and low.
