A huge barrier made of rock elements appeared, and all incoming attacks were blocked.
Abedo stood at the end of the bridge, calmly watching the attacking monsters.
The ancient Ming Dynasty appears here!
Abedo waved his hand, and the rock elements gathered in his hand, and the earth began to tremble. The rock elements turned into huge rock spikes, and hit the huge Qiuqiu people who were about to rush forward with a wave-like impact.
Cracks appeared in the rock shield, and the armor covering the body fell off. The Qiuqiu people near the bridge fell to the ground under the earthquake-like attack, and the entire attack came to a standstill.
In just an instant, the situation was reversed.
"Awesome!" Jiang Bai stood on the city wall and applauded Abedo.
This is the first time he has seen Abedo take action. He is worthy of being the top alchemist of the Knights of the West Wind. His fighting ability is impressive!
Although Abedo was stationed at Qiaotou, the Qiuqiu people's offensive route did not end there.
Several groups of Qiuqiu people, under the control of the Abyss Mage, drove the ice slimes, using the ice slimes as ice condensers, and followed the condensed ice through the Cider Lake in an attempt to reach the bottom of the city wall.
The people on the city wall held bows and arrows and kept shooting at the Qiuqiu people who were trying to cross the lake.
The arrows ignited by the fire element were like meteors streaking across the sky, hitting the ice. The ice melted instantly. The Qiuqiu people who stepped on the ice struggled to fall into the lake, and sank to the bottom.
"Qiuqiu people can't swim?" Jiang Bai sighed after witnessing all this.
Only then did he realize that the people in Qiuqiu didn’t know how to swim!
It’s no wonder that they use ice slime to cross the lake. The huge cider lake surrounding Mondstadt is a natural barrier for them who can’t understand water.
I also believe that they don't know how to get wet, otherwise we might not be able to guard against them.
"There seems to be no place where I can be useful."
Jiang Bai looked around. No matter what method the Qiuqiu people used to cross the lake, the experienced knights could provide a powerful resistance.
And with Albedo at the bridgehead, and with the attacks from the knights at the rear, not a single Qiuqiu man could get past the layers of resistance.
Kaia and Diluc didn't know where they were, and they didn't see them at all.
Jiang Bai had nothing to do and looked along the city wall in another direction.
Logically speaking, it is best for the Qiuqiu people to attack Mondstadt from the east, because the lake in other directions is too wide, and there are high cliffs across the lake, so the terrain is not conducive to launching an attack.
To be on the safe side, Jiang Bai still planned to take a look around. Anyway, the current situation was good and he didn't need his help. If he found any abnormalities, he could check for any leaks and make up for them.
To the south of Mondstadt is a wide lake, and a dock connecting to the deep water area is built outside the south city gate for berthing of ships coming and going.
Because the Qiuqiu people gathered near the east gate, there were fewer guards in this area. There were only two knights guarding the closed city gate. The knights above the city wall were watching the movements in all directions with vigilance.
Two abyss mages appeared silently in the dense bushes. They chanted spells in a low voice and attacked silently behind the two gatekeeper knights in the city, knocking the two unsuspecting knights unconscious on the spot.
Because of all the noise outside the city, no one noticed the two gatekeeper knights falling to the ground.
Hiding the two fallen knights in the bushes, the two Abyss mages teleported into the city and went straight to the Mondstadt Library.
Jiang Bai walked along the city wall. During this time, he often stayed with Keli. He also became familiar with these knights who often patrolled the city, so he was not blocked.
He walked all the way to the south city gate, and was about to lament how easy it was to defend Mondstadt but difficult to attack, when he suddenly noticed something strange.
There seemed to be something wrong with a bush under the city gate. There seemed to be something in the gaps between the branches.
"Is there something there?" he asked the knight next to him, pointing to the bushes.
"Is there any?" The knight looked carefully and found nothing strange.
"I feel a little strange, let me go down and have a look."
It stands to reason that there should be knights guarding the door below, but there was no sound at all and no sound of movement was heard below. He was a little worried that someone might have slipped in from here.
Although the city gate is closed, Jiang Bai has seen some abilities to penetrate objects.
Jiang Bai said, jumped off the city wall and walked into the bushes to check.
Then the knights above saw Jiang Bai dragging the two fainted knights out.
Jiang Bai checked the closed city gate and shouted to the top: "They were knocked unconscious, and there is no sign of the city gate being opened. Someone help me bring them in!"
"good!"
After confirming that there would be no monsters around for the time being, the city gate was opened a narrow crack, and the knight in armor and Jiang Bai brought their companions into the city for treatment.
Almost at the same time that the Abyss Mage sneaked into the city, a sneak sneak incident also occurred in another direction in Mondstadt City.
A group of masked treasure thieves gathered furtively at the recessed rock beside the church.
They arrived here last night while it was dark. From this position, the people on the city wall couldn't see them at all.
Although Mondstadt is entirely surrounded by tall city walls, some places are not very high for the sake of overall unity and beauty. It is not difficult to climb up with the help of tools and companions.
There is a low place near where they are now.
They had long expected that monsters would attack the city in Mondstadt. After all, the treasure thieves' sense of smell was very keen. It was impossible for them not to notice so many monsters gathering towards the city.
As early as a few days ago, they had set up a good location and put some camouflage on this location. It was covered by shrubs and could not detect them even from the opposite side of the Cider Lake.
They have been waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity when the Mondstadt Knights are busy defending and the city is empty.
Now the time has finally arrived.
"Boss, let's do it!" Some people couldn't wait any longer.
The leader blew a whistle. The whistle was very similar to the chirping of birds, and people who were not familiar with it could not recognize it at all.
Not long after, the same whistle sounded in the city, two long and one short, carrying a unique code.
Hearing the whistle confirming safety, the leader's eyes gleamed with excitement. With a wave of his hand, he led the people to the shortest wall.
Several rotating hooks were hooked on the wall, and the excited members of the treasure thief group quickly climbed up along the hooks and entered the city.
Led by their companions who had already sneaked into the city, the group quickly headed towards the Great Order of West Wind.
A night owl hovering in the sky had a panoramic view of all this. It swooped down and stopped on its owner's shoulder.
After communicating in a special way, Diluc obtained accurate information about the group of fools who had infiltrated Mondstadt.
"Tsk, there are quite a few Xiaoxiao who come to Mondstadt to cause trouble at this time."
He sneered, turned his wrist, and walked towards the West Wind Cathedral.
