Chapter 573 Defending Winterfell
"Quickly! Don't let those monsters get close. Protect Her Majesty the Queen with your lives!"
The commander of the highest guard in Winterfell was a gray-haired major general, who had already sent out distress signals to other military headquarters.
"Yes! General."
The city's garrison numbered only five thousand, and the nearest troops would take nearly three hours to arrive.
"Follow me to meet the enemy—"
The general drew his sword; though old, he was still a soldier. He never forgot his duty: to defend Winterfell!
The biting wind blew Han Yu's coat, making a sound.
Li Shun sat on the golden dragon chair with his legs crossed, looking disdainful. "Brother Han, how should I put you?"
"In your eyes, I'm a villain? And you're a righteous superhero? What a joke." Only Han Yu could understand Li Shun's words, since they both came from Earth.
"Fine, fine, even if I am a bad guy, am I the only bad guy in all of Teyvat? Why are you always targeting me!" Li Shun slapped the dragon throne and stood up in mid-air.
There were wisps of dark purple abyssal energy surging around him. "So what if the Abyssal Cult is hunting you down? What's so difficult about that? I'm just stimulating your potential."
Li Shun was rambling on and on, seemingly trying to stall for time.
"People only become stronger by experiencing life and death, don't you understand?"
Ji Ying, who controlled Han Yu's main body, did not intend to waste words. A Tai Chi phantom appeared behind him, and the Dream One Mind was released from his body in his hand.
In an instant, Li Shun felt his hair stand on end! But...
"This guy's aura is definitely off. Could it be that Han Yu possesses the ability to create physical clones?"
Li Shun secretly wondered, "Is the one imprisoned in Raelil's mental space the real body?"
What does he have to be afraid of? He can take this opportunity to destroy the opponent's clone first. The main body's combat power will probably be greatly reduced afterward. At that time, no one in Teyvat will be able to stop him.
Jiying, with a katana in his hand, slashed through the air, the black and white blade light carrying the power of annihilation emitting a violent explosion.
A semi-circular light shield appeared in front of Li Shun. "Even a clone has such power?" The Dark Star Greatsword appeared in his hand.
The sky suddenly darkened, and several dark star phantoms appeared in mid-air. As Li Shun slashed his giant sword downwards, waves of air appeared, followed by a series of explosions!
The Shadow Clone drew its sword and unleashed a horizontal slash, the two clashing together and causing the entire Winter City to shake violently. Several two-story houses collapsed with a deafening roar.
The Ice Queen's beautiful eyes shot out a beam of white light, and a huge ice crystal enveloped her, barely managing to block the remaining force of the attack.
"Your Majesty..."
The commander, Jester Piero, wanted to persuade the Queen to temporarily retreat from the fray, as this level of battle was beyond their control.
"Do you mean you want me to abandon my people? I can't do that."
A streak of red flowed down her fair neck, a result of the shockwave from the earlier ordeal.
Watching the battle raging in mid-air, the Ice Queen sighed softly, "Even the Demon God War of yesteryear was nothing special..."
There are currently three executives in Winter: Captain Capitano, Prince Dadalia, and Mayor Rooster, but none of them have seen the good mayor.
...
"Hello! Is this the garrison, Winterfell...?"
At the command center, the messenger who received the order picked up the communicator to call for reinforcements.
"What? Say it again." A burst of noise came from the communicator on the other end, and then you could hear it.
“It is I, Puccinella.”
The messenger, a dagger embedded in his chest, stared at the man before him in disbelief. "Mayor... ...Sir," he stammered, feeling a wave of weakness wash over him.
"Mayor, do you have any instructions?"
The rooster coughed twice and said calmly, "Report on your current situation."
The conversation was very formulaic. After the other party finished reporting, they said, "Very good, you've worked hard."
After saying that, the rooster hung up the phone.
The Ice Queen appeared on the street, and the people fleeing the disaster witnessed this scene.
Tartaglia once said, "Cold and pure, arrogant yet sharp. She is not only a high and mighty ice goddess, but also a true warrior."
A long spear formed from ice elements appeared in her hand. With steady steps, she led the three executives to fight against the abyssal monsters.
"I'm not running away anymore! I'm going to follow Her Majesty the Empress and fight the enemy together." A man told his wife to take the children and leave first, while he chose to fight.
This scene quickly inspired the ordinary people who were still fleeing for their lives. They took up hoes and sickles and resolutely followed the Ice Queen to fight the enemy!
In mid-air, Han Yu delivered a side kick that sent Li Shun flying a hundred meters. Cracks had already appeared on one side of the black armor that Li Shun had formed from the power of the abyss.
"This kid is acting strangely, it shouldn't be like this!" Li Shun couldn't understand why he was still being crushed even though his strength was dispersed when he faced Han Yu.
"I need to think of a way..."
Two abyssal gates appeared beside him, and several abyssal apostles emerged.
However, judging from their auras, these Abyss Apostles were different from the ordinary ones; their auras were more terrifying, and their bodies were filled with Abyss power.
"Go and find a way to cause me some trouble," Li Shun ordered.
“These Abyss Apostles are special beings that I have carefully cultivated. They are comparable to the Executors of Winter.”
The figures of those Abyss Apostles suddenly accelerated, and Han Yu's Shadow Clone sensed the abnormality and tried to stop them.
"Your opponent is me, Han Yu." Li Shun tore open a rift in the abyss and suddenly emerged!
This time, Li Shun prepared hundreds of thousands of Abyss troops. These guys alone were enough to make the defending army struggle. Now, several even more powerful Abyss monsters have appeared, which has truly caught Zhi Dong off guard.
These special Abyss Apostles can fuse elemental power and abyssal energy, thereby unleashing even more terrifying destructive power.
"Leave this to me, you guys go and support the other places." Captain Capitano appeared.
"Yes, Captain!"
To his surprise, why hadn't the reinforcements arrived yet?
Ignoring all that, the captain swung his icy longsword, and the Abyss Apostles tried to separate. Their orders were to cause trouble, and they absolutely could not confront anyone stronger than themselves.
Clearly, Capitano is a strongman.
The captain conjured ice in his hand, forming an ice crystal cage that firmly trapped the special beings of the apostles.
"Cough..." Li Shun spat out a mouthful of black blood. His left arm had begun to shatter and still had a lot of Tai Chi energy remaining on it.
"Damn it, I really underestimated my opponent this time."
Li Shun gritted his teeth, ripped off his left arm, and threw it violently towards Ji Ying's location. He clenched his right hand, and the arm exploded with a loud bang, instantly creating a vortex like a black hole.
"Damn it, we actually got tricked by this guy!"
Li Shun squeezed the dark purple crystal core in his hand, and a suction force appeared, pulling him into it.
“This feeling…”
The Shadow Clone possesses Han Yu's memories, including that in Nordkal, on the spaceship the twins were traveling on, Little Dotore also escaped in this way...
