Genshen: Starting from Liyue, he is equipped with the seals of the Six Kingdoms

On the defense line of Aru Village, watching the rebels retreat like a tide, Nasida finally breathed a sigh of relief and retreated from the high sentry tower with a tired look on her face.

Since it was confirmed that she had entered Aru Village, the rebels completely gave up their plan to persuade her to surrender and instead attacked Aru Village with all their strength.

Nasida understood that the rebels were preparing to capture her in Aru Village and then force Sumeru to surrender.

But this was all her plan.

She is the bait that lures Fertad to focus all his attention on Aru Village. As long as she is in Aru Village, Fertad can only choose to attack this place with all her strength, because this is the opponent's only chance to win the entire war.

In this way, Niwa can secretly enter the Qianhe Sand Land, capture the desert tribe there, cut off Fertad's retreat, and make the rebels lose all their logistics.

Once successful, the Sumeru Defense Forces Brigade will attack from Kavanyi, using the most stable formation to slowly oppress the rebels, forcing the rebels who have lost their logistics to fight decisively under unfavorable conditions, and quell the rebellion at the minimum cost.

Nasida knew the risks involved - whether Aru Village could be defended was a risk, and whether Niyu could capture the Thousand Valley Sands in time was also a risk. However, she still chose to take risks because Xumi's financial situation was really stable. We can't afford another total war.

As a result, the offensive and defensive battle surrounding Aru Village lasted for nearly a month.

The good news is that the rebel offensive is weakening, and the defenders of Aru Village who withstood the initial attack have been tempered, and determined and talented warriors and commanders have gradually come to the fore.

For these defenders, whether they were originally from the Aru Village Guard or the Gilded Brigade, Nasida promoted them equally and gave them military status and official positions in the National Defense Force on the spot.

Relying on the personal control of the gods and clear rewards and punishments, the defenders of Aru Village became stronger and stronger as they fought. In the past week, they have not lost any line of defense.

Of course, the cost is also huge.

The individual strength of the Aru Village defenders was far inferior to that of the rebels. Even with the help of terrain and fortifications, the casualty ratio remained at around 4:1. The initial fierce attack by the rebels even shook the confidence of the defenders for a time. It was only through the desperate fighting of the most loyal men led by Desiya, Candice, Tanya and others that the situation was maintained.

Even so, the mercenary group in Aru Village suffered more than one-third casualties, and the Aru Village Guard, the Blazing Beast Hunting Mercenary Group, and the elite defense forces who followed Nasida into Aru Village suffered more than half of their casualties.

As soon as she thought of this, Nasida's heart was as sharp as a knife.

After retreating from the sentry tower, she came to the wounded soldiers camp to visit the injured soldiers as always, constantly using her dream power to soothe their pain.

In the past month, it was through such acts of kindness that she gained the heartfelt support of most desert people. Aru village residents and caravan members continued to voluntarily sign up to join the battle, which to a great extent stabilized the defenders' defense line.

After an unknown amount of time, after trying to help a soldier who lost his arm fall asleep, Nasida stood up tiredly and saw a haggard Tanya.

Seeing that she was about to salute, Nasida quickly waved her hand to stop her, and instead asked with concern: "Is there still no news about Commander Qu Kui?"

Tanya was stunned for a moment, then shook her head weakly.

In the initial battle against the rebel defense line, although the Qianyan Army Corps led by Qu Kui took the lead in breaking through the Yuan Neng War Machinery position, they lost all their beasts of burden and were quickly overtaken and surrounded by the rebels. After a desperate breakout, less than half of the Qianyan Army officers finally succeeded in breaking through and entered Aru Village. The whereabouts of the remaining people, including Qu Kui, are all unknown.

On a chaotic battlefield, in a harsh desert environment, missing is almost equal to death.

Tanya knew this better than anyone else, but she did not show any weakness and only cried secretly when she was alone.

Nacida was powerless to do anything about it, so she could only step forward and hug Tanya, but she couldn't say a word of comfort.

All wars must have a price, Nacida has long understood this truth, but she is kind-hearted and still finds it difficult to bear this loss.

At this time, she felt that her heart ached so much that she could no longer hold on. She missed Niyu so much, and her chest as solid and reliable as a rock. That was the source of all her confidence and a harbor full of peace of mind.

Just as the two hugged each other and were speechless, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly broke the tranquility of the night.

Nacida looked up and saw Candice and Desiya coming in a hurry, their faces full of joy.

"Your Majesty the Grass God Temple! Great Sage..."

Before the two of them finished speaking, Nasida saw the familiar figure behind them, and immediately swooped over like a bird flying into the forest.

"Niwa!"

Niyu reached out and hugged her, then nodded and smiled at the others: "Thank you for your hard work. This will all be over soon."

Tanya's face lit up, "Could it be that you..."

Niyu nodded again, "Thousands of Sands have been captured by our side. Fertad's retreat has been cut off, and the defeat is certain."

After a brief silence, Desiya was the first to let out an excited roar and ran all the way to the military camp.

Candice glanced at Niyu and saw that he did not stop him, so she bowed quietly and said: "Then I will also go and deliver this good news to the villagers of Aru Village."

"Go." Niyu nodded and smiled at the other guards, "You go too, so that everyone can know the good news as soon as possible."

The guards, who had long been unable to restrain themselves, immediately dispersed.

After everyone dispersed, the smile on Niyu's face suddenly disappeared.

He knelt down and said to Nasida with a serious face: "Your Highness, something big has happened."

The smile on Nacida's face froze, and her green pupils were full of doubts, "What happened? Didn't you win the Qianhe Sand Land?"

Niyu shook his head and said: "Feltad is nothing to worry about, but the reason for the rebel rebellion is... This time I went to the Qianhe Sand Land, I have discovered the catastrophe deep in the desert, which is the abyss."

Nasida's pupils trembled, "Abyss? How is it possible?! Catastrophe in the depths of the desert... Black Abyss of Tani? That's not right... There is a seal sealed by the divine bird Simoge, and even the gods cannot easily destroy that seal! Is there a crack in the seal, leaking out some abyssal monsters?"

Niyu shook his head, "Ying and her friends contacted the flower spirit clan guarding the sea of ​​​​nectar flowers. According to them, the person who broke the seal was a terrifying giant creature... What did you think of?"

Nacida's eyes were flowing, and she thought to herself as she said: "Deep in the desert... giant creatures... also have the power to destroy the seal..."

Seeing that Nasita was still confused, Niyu sighed helplessly.

It seems that as King Daci Shu said, there are indeed deficiencies in the inheritance she left to Nasida, especially the part related to forbidden knowledge...

So he had to ask: "Nacida, do you know Apep, the Dragon of Grass?"

Nasida's eyes widened, "It's Him? Damn it! How could I forget Him!"
