Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

Building a strong army is not a task that can be accomplished in a short period of time, even if you have a lot of money.

The Fatui began planning to increase their military power decades ago, not to mention that they have a rich financial foundation.

Even if the strength of the immortals is taken into account, if Liyue were to go to war with Zhidong today, the outcome would be a fifty-fifty fight at best.

If we get into a protracted war, the longer it lasts, the more variables will arise, and no one can predict what will happen at that time.

"What should we do? If that doesn't work, we have to find another way to find out if there is any information on how to create the evil eye."

"Other ways? What are the details?"

"You have a close relationship with that playboy Wendy, he used to travel all over the world, maybe he knows some clues."

Speaking of Wendy, indeed, he always gives people the impression of knowing everything.

Li Mochen thought of the wandering poet he met yesterday.

According to Wendy, he did know a lot of secrets of this world.

Perhaps Wendy could also provide some insight into how the evil eye is made.

However, not long after, when he found Wendy running around on the streets of Mondstadt being chased by a cat, the latter gave a direct answer.

"I'm sorry, I really can't help you with this."

After hearing Li Mochen's question, Wendy spread her hands and smiled, indicating that she could do nothing about it.

It makes sense. After all, the manufacturing technology of the evil eye is a secret research that the Fatui have only started in recent years. It is not surprising that Wendy is not aware of it.

"Alas, it seems that we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Zhidong to snatch the secret method, although this will probably kill a lot of people."

Li Mochen sighed helplessly, and then began to make preparations for a full-scale war.

A war between the two countries would inevitably have a huge impact and might even shake the balance of the entire continent.

But after hearing Li Mochen's stern words, Wendy pondered for a few seconds.

"Actually, you just want the method to make the evil eye. The Fatui have it, but you can't get it from them, right?"

"That's right. I really can't think of any other solution except war."

"It won't even come to the point of war...Have you heard of the 'Vulcan God Enbu Festival'?"

At this time, Wendy mentioned a rather obscure term with a smile.

Judging from the name alone, the "Yanwu Festival" seems to be similar to festivals such as Liyue's "Sea Lantern Festival" and Mondstadt's "Spring Breeze Festival".

But in fact it is not the case.

The "Yanwu Festival" is actually a martial arts ceremony favored by the god of war and fire.

As the ruling god and god of war of the Munatar people, the God of Fire makes the Munatar people living in the western part of the continent brave and valiant, with red hair and strong build, and violent temperament.

Against this backdrop, Munata has seen frequent conflicts both at home and abroad.

In order to prevent these conflicts from escalating, two thousand years ago, the God of Fire himself established a special set of rules for the competition.

"No matter who or where, as long as there is a conflict, they can convene the Yanwu Festival and use fists and weapons to solve the problem on the hot battlefield. The loser must agree to the conditions previously proposed by the winner, and there must be no objection or revenge afterwards."

Following this rule, conflicts within the Munata were quickly resolved, whether they were personal grudges or disputes at the tribal, regional, or even national level.

As long as both parties agree to resolve the dispute through the Yanwu Festival, the winner must be decided in the arena.

Once the winner is determined, the conflict is resolved because the loser has lost the right to question.

At the same time, no matter how harsh the conditions proposed by the winner are, the loser cannot regret or retaliate.

Time flies. Two thousand years have passed and not many people remember the ancient martial arts competition ceremony "Yanwu Festival".

However, this covenant made by God still holds true to this day.

After listening to Wendy's explanation, Li Mochen showed a thoughtful look on his face.

It is obvious that it was a brilliant move by the God of Fire to establish the "Yanwu Festival", as it could reduce a war that might have involved the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of people to a duel between only a few people in the arena, and it also stipulated that the defeated party would not have any subsequent disputes.

Now, this ancient martial arts ritual may become a powerful weapon for Li Mochen...

After all, by defeating the Fatui in the Yanwu Festival, one can obtain the technology to manufacture the Evil Eye without having to engage in all-out war.

However, if Liyue loses, it will have to pay a heavy price. After all, on the scale of fairness, the conditions paid by both parties should be equal.

Regardless, this may be the only way to force the Fatui to hand over the Evil Eye technology without sparking an all-out war.

"But if this happens, I'm afraid Zhidong won't agree to accept the challenge."

"No, if you challenge them, Winter Solstice will certainly accept the challenge."

"Why would you agree to that?"

"Because when the core team of the Fatui was formed, the Ice Queen selected them according to the standards of the Flame Warrior Festival."

Wendy gave a smug smile.

According to the Yanwu Festival rules set by the God of Fire, the number of contestants that need to be sent by both sides in competitions of different scales varies.

Among them, when a dispute occurs between countries, the number of players that each side needs to send is exactly eleven.

In the competition between the two countries, each side sent out eleven players, and the side that won six games first would be the winner.

The Fatui's top-level "executors" have exactly eleven of them.

In other words, if the Kingdom of Zhidong competes with other countries in the Yanwu Festival, these eleven executive officers will definitely be sent.

In other words, as early as when the Fatui was first formed, the Ice Queen had already taken into account the possibility of a Flame Festival competition, otherwise she would not have deliberately set the strange number eleven.

"So, the Ice Queen will never refuse a challenge, and neither will the Fatui. In their eyes, any challenger is courting his own death."

"Humph, you are so arrogant. Let them see how powerful we are."

After understanding the arrogance of the Fatui, Li Mochen couldn't help but feel a sense of fighting spirit rising in his heart.

You think your eleven executives are awesome? I have even more people and horses here!

The eight great immortals of Liyue plus me, the new guardian general, are more than enough to deal with you mortals, right?

In Li Mochen's opinion, if it were an eleven-on-eleven team competition, Liyue would almost certainly win.
