Chapter 229 The Emperor goes to war!
Liyue, Guiliji, Luhuachi Cave, inside the mechanical house.
No. 2 Ye Li tiredly placed the newly refined magic weapon on the table. His unfocused eyes showed that he was in a state where he didn't want to do anything.
Ganyu, who had arrived on time for lunch, pushed open the door of the agency house and walked in with a huge lunch box stacked in three layers.
"Er Li, it's time for lunch. Let's stop refining the magic weapon for a while."
Ganyu pushed open the door and spoke as usual. She turned around and saw No. 2 Ye Li who had already fallen into a lazy state. She couldn't help but smile. She pushed the door back with her backhand and closed it. She picked up the lunch box and put it on the dining table for lunch.
"Ah? It's Ganyu! Thank you for bringing me lunch again today."
No. 2 Ye Li came back to his senses and turned to look at Gan Yu who had already placed the dishes on the table. His eyes regained focus, a faint golden light flowed in his eyes, and he said with a hint of happiness under the raised corners of his mouth:
"What are we having for dinner today? I'm getting tired of all the seafood I've been eating these past few days. If I don't change my taste, I'm going to go hunting on my own."
"We won't eat seafood today. Besides, the war in the sea is still going on. Ye Li is also fighting on the front line. He usually eats much more seafood than you."
Ganyu put the food away, pulled out a chair and sat down. She skillfully took out chopsticks from a gap between the lunch boxes and said angrily in frustration:
"Okay, eat quickly. If you are picky and don't eat, I will tell Sister Guizhong."
“No, no, no! I was wrong! Ganyu, please don’t tell my mom. Although I’m not picky about food, if she knew that this clone of mine is picky about food, then me, my original body, and the other clones will all be in trouble!”
No. 2 Ye Li obeyed his heart on the spot. It was not because he was afraid of Gui Zhong, but he simply did not want to make her worry. Although he was really not picky about food and just said a few words, Gui Zhong would not care whether the words were true or not. If the child made a mistake, of course he had to be educated.
Thinking back to the time when he was seven years old and accidentally dropped some vegetables, and how Gui Zhong grabbed him with a smile, rubbed his face hard, and stuffed more than 20 bowls of stir-fried vegetables and radish into his mouth, No. 2 Ye Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Seeing someone's clone coming to eat obediently, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly, but as soon as he thought of the news, a trace of solemnity flashed across Ganyu's face, and his expression returned to seriousness, and he said the real purpose of coming to deliver lunch:
"Er Li, please help take over the clerical work related to Liyue's development from now on. I believe you should be able to do two things at once."
No. 2 Ye Li sensed something was wrong. When he heard Gan Yu's words, he paused for a moment with his chopsticks, then quickly stuffed the food into his mouth and said incoherently:
"Hey Senmo (why)..." After swallowing the food, No. 2 Ye Li said with doubt in his eyes:
"I remember that Dad usually takes care of the clerical work in Liyue's general development. Could it be that something went wrong on the battlefield that required him to go out in person?"
A solemn look flashed across Ganyu's eyes. She lowered her head and swayed it slightly back and forth, her long blue hair undulating like waves. She said:
"There is indeed a problem on the front battlefield. For some reason, the Dream Demon God has deployed millions of interference arrays at the back of the battlefield, causing any mechanism driven by elemental force to be severely delayed and sluggish."
"It seems that the Dream Demon has really found a way to target us. Although the elemental mechanism is very versatile, once the patterns of the formation are disturbed, the efficiency of the elemental force conversion core will be reduced, and the power that can be exerted will naturally be greatly reduced. It seems that this really gave me a headache."
There was a flash of helplessness in No. 2 Ye Li's eyes, and he felt a headache about this sudden news. However, he already had a preliminary response plan in his mind. Although there were no materials at the main body, he could send them over through the teleportation array after he completed them.
After all, they are the same person. No. 2 Ye Li’s thoughts are the same as the original body’s thoughts, and there is never any conflict in this.
Ganyu sighed, worry showing on her face, and said:
"Not long ago, after receiving the news that the front line needed support, the Emperor immediately put down his civilian work and led many Yakshas including the five generals of the Qianyan Army to the front battlefield with Sister Guizhong. The release of thunder and fire elemental bombs has been stopped."
"It seems that Dad is determined to put the Dream Demon to death this time. He actually took 50% of the troops with him. Add to that 30% of his own troops, and we only have 20% of our troops to defend here. I'm afraid our real trouble is coming."
Gan Yu nodded solemnly. She was aware of this in her heart, and this was one of the reasons why she came to No. 2 Ye Li to take over the clerical work.
"Our current garrison is short of manpower. Mom should know this."
No. 2 Ye Li asked seriously.
Gan Yu did not deny it. She took out a treasure bag from her blue token and handed it to No. 2 Ye Li in front of her.
"Before she left, Sister Guizhong said that she would give you this treasure bag, saying that you would understand after you read it."
No. 2 Ye Li took the brocade bag without hesitation, opened it and took a look, and said with a twitching mouth:
"It's an effective method, but it will consume too much of the main body's inventory. I'm likely to be punished by the main body when I come back."
……
At the junction of the four seas, the border battlefield of the western sea area.
The rainstorm in the sky had long disappeared, and thick dark clouds were still hanging in the sky. I don’t know how long it would take for them to dissipate.
Ye Li and the other immortals led the Qianyan Army in another charge, firing and ramming into the densely packed defensive array in front of them.
The sound of tearing explosions continued to ring out, hitting the defensive formation one after another, but the damage caused was only insignificant enough to cause a slight ripple.
"This is such a headache to design. If it weren't for the limited material resources, I would have smashed this tortoise shell long ago."
Master Liuyun Jiefeng said with a gloomy expression, turned his head and looked at Ye Li who had a calm expression and said:
"Is there any other way to break this thing? We finally escaped from the enemy's trap. If we are dragged here, I am afraid it will give them more time to breathe and develop."
"This was part of their plan. Even if I tried my best to release my strength, I could only create a huge hole in the opponent's defense. But this would eventually lead to another trap. Our previous mistake was an example of this."
True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was silent. Thinking about those Yakshas who sacrificed themselves in order to delay time and lead the immortals and mortals to escape from the trap, he couldn't help feeling heavy and bitter.
"But there's no need to worry. I've already informed Liyue of the news. Support will soon arrive via the teleportation array. By then, no matter how rampant the Dream Demon is, we will strangle him together."
Not long after Ye Li finished speaking, the golden sky of the teleportation array lit up out of nowhere. A huge pressure instantly enveloped an area of hundreds of thousands of meters in radius, and a terrifying aura gradually emerged from the teleportation array.
A platinum-colored figure and a white-blue figure appeared first, and the spears and swords in their hands slashed out divine rays of light in unison, offsetting and resolving the attacks launched by the three-party joint army under the protection of the defensive formation.
At this moment on the battlefield, the top demon god of the three-party coalition suddenly changed his expression. He looked up at the sky nervously and saw two figures. He said to his subordinates beside him with a solemn expression:
"Hurry up and inform Lord Incubus that Morax has appeared."
The subordinates of the upper demon god next to them also looked terrified. They hurriedly rushed out of the protection range of the formation and headed towards the rear of the three-party coalition, which is the West Sea Alliance.
On the other side, looking at the two people who appeared in front of him, Master Liuyun Jiefeng's expression also relaxed a little, and the heaviness in his heart began to gradually fall away. He said in a relaxed tone:
"You are finally here. I thought you were busy with development work every day and didn't come to help."
Morax was wearing a costume with gold, white and brown carvings, and the white brim of his hat behind him gave it a mysterious look. Guizhong beside him was still dressed the same as before, with his blue and white clothes fluttering with his long sleeves, forming a dust mist covering dozens of miles, obscuring the enemy's attack vision.
"I'm sorry, we're a step too late. We will always remember those Yakshas and soldiers who sacrificed their lives. We will engrave them in Liyue's history so that future generations will remember them."
Morax and Guizhong made a solemn promise, then looked at Ye Li at the same time and nodded:
"Thank you for your hard work, kid. Leave the rest to us."
