As Er Kang filled the sack with feathers, he said, "Don't worry, this is for..."
A cloud of smoke suddenly exploded; it turned out that Zhang Chu had thrown a smoke bomb.
When the smoke cleared, Amber was nowhere to be seen in the tree.
Gu Qian had a burlap sack that kept wriggling on his shoulder: "Got it."
A muffled shout came from inside the sack: "Let me go! The Knights of Favonius will not let you get away with this!"
Ying covered her face in despair: "Are we really going to go into the city like this...?"
Paimon was terrified: "Is it too late for us to surrender now?"
"Don't worry, these things aren't for you."
Qingyu shook the hemp rope in his hand with great confidence, revealing what he thought was a kind smile.
But five minutes later.
Zhang Chu stared at An Bo, who was bound like a dumpling, and veins bulged on his forehead.
The scout knight was bound in an extremely undignified manner: his hands and feet were tied together with rough hemp rope, making him look like a suckling pig waiting to be slaughtered; his mouth was stuffed with a rag that had been found from who-knows-where; his once lively rabbit ears stood up in anger, and his amber eyes were filled with the message, "You're all dead."
The most outrageous thing is that Qingyu actually tied a bow on her back!
Zhang Chu punched his teammate on the head.
"Are you tying her up like a wild boar?! And why are you gagging her?! We're here to negotiate, not to kidnap her!"
An exaggeratedly large bulge instantly appeared on Qingyu's head, perfectly replicating the shape of Qingyun Peak in Liyue.
Amber: "Ughhhh!!"
(Translation: I'm going to send you all to Westwind Prison!)
Ying and Paimon stood to the side, their faces clearly saying, "I don't know these people."
Paimon muttered to himself, "Are we really going to travel with this bunch of freaks...?"
Just as Zhang Chu was about to explain with the writing board, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Er Kang tiptoeing towards Amber, holding a black lace eye mask in his hand!
"Erkang, what are you doing?!"
Zhang Chu's roar startled the birds in the tree, and the writing board drew a perfect parabola in the air before slapping Er Kang's face with a "smack".
Er Kang rubbed his nose, looking aggrieved: "Weren't we going to bring Amber into the city? To use Amber as a hostage to negotiate with the Knights of Favonius..."
"That's the style of the Fools!"
Zhang Chu was so angry that his mask tilted to one side.
"Our goal is communication! Communication! We kidnapped Amber to force her to communicate with us! Otherwise, she won't listen to us!"
Gu Qian, who was squatting to the side, suddenly raised his hand: "How about we try my method?"
After saying that, Gu Qian took out a bottle of medicine with the words "Memory Erasure Potion" written on it.
Amber: "!!!" (shaking her head frantically)
Although Amber couldn't understand, she was certain that these people had no good intentions!
Ying finally couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward: "Enough!"
She deftly untied the rag from Amber's mouth.
"we are......"
"Help! There's a perverted Hilichurl!!"
Amber's scream instantly echoed through the sky.
From the direction of Mondstadt in the distance, the sound of armor clashing suddenly rang out.
Paimon clutched his head in despair: "It's all over, it's all over, the entire Knights of Favonius have been mobilized..."
Qingyu silently pulled out a galactic destruction bomb: "Want to communicate physically?"
Everyone: "Shut up!!!"
At that moment, Wendy, who was at the top of the church, laughed so hard that she rolled off the bell tower.
Chapter 8 The Wave Knight
A cold, angry shout shattered the silence of the forest.
The wave knight Yura led her guerrilla squad at breakneck speed, her ice-blue greatsword gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
When she saw Amber bound like a dumpling, the anger in her eyes almost materialized.
"I will remember this grudge!"
Yura gritted her teeth and raised her greatsword, the tip pointing directly at the group of four.
The four members of Qingyu exchanged a knowing glance and then drew their weapons.
Ying wisely retreated to a safe distance with Paimon in her arms—because Qingyu had already raised the sign:
We've caused this mess; we'll deal with these knights.
"Release Amber!" Yura rushed forward, her greatsword whistling as it slashed towards Er Kang.
"clang--!"
Amidst the deafening clang of metal, a shocking scene unfolded—Erkang, wielding a sickle with one hand, effortlessly parried the powerful blow.
In a pure contest of strength, he overpowered the Wave Knight, who was renowned for his swordsmanship!
"what?!"
Yura's pupils contracted sharply, and she immediately changed tactics.
She deftly stepped back half a step, ice elements condensed on the blade, and then she unleashed a series of fluid sword dances.
The sword flashed like snow, and Yura's figure drew a graceful arc on the battlefield.
However, Er Kang seemed to anticipate all the attack routes, and his scythe was able to block them precisely every time.
Sparks flew as the metal clashed, leaving Paimon speechless: "Erkang... he's so strong!"
At the same time, the other knights also launched their charge.
The lead knight shouted, his lance pointing directly at Qingyu.
Qingyu pursed his lips and pulled a... baseball from his four-dimensional pocket.
"call out--!"
The baseball sliced through the air and struck the lead knight's helmet precisely.
With a muffled thud, the knight fell to the ground.
Even more bizarrely, the baseball seemed to have eyes, bouncing towards the second knight, and then the third...
"What kind of sorcery is this?!" A knight who was still standing looked at the incoming baseball in horror, and then everything went black.
Zhang Chu's approach was even simpler and more direct.
He brandished a shield inscribed with the words "Physical Persuasion" and launched a brutal charge.
"Take this, my Pig Charge!"
A dozen or so knights were sent flying like bowling pins, tracing perfect parabolic arcs...
It landed precisely in the bamboo basket behind Gu Qian that was labeled "Westwind Knight Recycling Station".
Yura's situation is getting worse and worse; her Zephyr Greatsword has been knocked away.
She dodged the sickle with a side somersault and, in the process, picked up a stone and threw it at Er Kang.
A flash of cold light, and the stone was split in two in mid-air.
Yura gritted her teeth and threw a punch, but Er Kang delivered a powerful kick to her abdomen, sending her flying backward.
Just as she landed and stood up, Zhang Chu suddenly appeared and precisely placed an iron bucket on her head.
Qingyu pulled out a wooden stick labeled "Physical Hypnotic Stick" from somewhere and struck the iron bucket.
"Buzzing—"
The metal bucket emitted a teeth-grinding vibration, and Yura inside immediately saw stars.
When Zhang Chu took down the iron bucket, the once majestic Wave Rider had turned into someone with mosquito coil eyes, swayed and spun around twice before collapsing to the ground with a "thud".
"Hmm..."
Bound and bound, Amber witnessed the entire event, and the light of hope in her eyes gradually faded.
The way she looked at the four of them now was as if she were looking at some kind of abyssal demon king.
Paimon clutched at Ying's sleeve, trembling. "Traveler... things seem to be getting worse?"
Looking at the mess on the ground, Ying suddenly understood why Dvalin had run away so quickly.
On the distant church bell tower, Wendy, who was secretly watching, suddenly trembled, and her wine glass fell to the ground with a "clatter": "Are all outsiders these days... so ruthless?"
------
"Let me go! You Hilichurl!"
Amber pounced on Zhang Chu's armpits like a rabbit with its fur standing on end, her legs tracing angry arcs in the air.
If she weren't so tightly bound, she would have loved to use Earl Rabbit to blow everyone up into the sky.
Zhang Chu looked at Ying helplessly, his eyes saying, "If you're so good, then you do it."
Ying took a deep breath and walked up to Amber.
The scout knight's large amber eyes were filled with fear and anger, making Ying curse the four clowns eight hundred times in her heart.
"Don't be afraid, we are not bad people."
Ying forced herself to explain, and even after she finished speaking, she felt that her words sounded like a villain's lines.
Amber bit her lip and didn't say anything, but her eyes clearly said, "You'd be a fool to believe you!"
In her opinion, the guy who could tame four such powerful Hilichurls must be a high-ranking member of the Abyss Order! His harmless appearance must be a disguise!
