"Fortunately... the damage is not serious. The maintenance of the root system can be handed over to the community magistrate later."

The two worked together to eliminate another wave of beast hounds and protect the roots of the sacred cherry tree.

Paimon looked around the tree and asked Ying, "Is the stuff flowing out the juice of the sacred cherry tree? They seem to be glowing..."

Ying couldn't answer for a while.

In an instant, the light turned into smoke, covering the three people.

"Huh?"

[Amber: What happened suddenly? ]

[Katsina: Is it a new trick of the Abyss? ]

[Kiniqi: Not likely, the Abyss are all mimicking the appearance of hill people or dragons, these are obviously ordinary people of Inazuma...]

[Xiao Gong: And what's going on with this tragic situation? ]

After the smoke dissipated, Ying noticed something was wrong.

But she and Paimon didn't panic this time.

They had seen this kind of phantom of the dead in their previous journeys.

But why did he suddenly appear here?

"Why not go and check it out?"

Yingmei also agreed with Ying's proposal.

At this time, there was still a soldier who had not fallen in the field, but his injuries were very serious.

"I can't just fall down like this... My brothers still rely on me..."

Paimon stepped forward and talked to him, "What happened here? Can you tell us?"

Hearing someone talking, the soldier in shogunate armor asked back, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Run quickly, the beasts will come back... Once they are targeted, you can't run away anymore."

"We... will definitely protect Inazuma until the last moment."

Ying looked around and didn't find any beasts.

Ask him what happened here?

The soldier was also confused.

"You, you don't know? Inazuma has been shrouded in darkness."

"There are wild beasts everywhere, and even more terrifying monsters. They have no emotions at all. They will only devour everything..."

"All the evidence of our human existence will be devoured by them."

[Paimon: There is nothing at the scene? ]

[Tinari: Judging from his description, these should be the records of the disaster that happened five hundred years ago in the earth veins]

[Seno: Is it because the roots of the sacred cherry tree were attacked by the power of the abyss?]

[Tinari: Very likely]

Although Ying and Paimon both said that there was nothing here.

But the soldiers kindly advised them to leave early.

"They will definitely come back... Go quickly, there is no time!"

"Now that the general is missing, and the fox is missing, we can only rely on ourselves."

"I don't know how long we can hold on, but... if we give up hope, we will really have nothing."

Looking at the devastated battlefield, these words seem a bit sad.

Ying had come to the side of several people without knowing when.

"Don't panic, I'm here."

"General?!"

The moment he saw Ying, the soldier's expression changed from sadness to joy.

The general is back, as long as the general is here, Inazuma will be saved!

Only the supreme lightning of the general can dispel the darkness in front of him.

Only the sharp blade of the general can save Inazuma from the invasion of wild beasts.

Ying gently told his people, even though it was just an illusion.

"Calm down, the war is over."

"End? What...what are you talking about? General..."

"Look around, the grass and trees are green, the wind is calm, and all this is no different from the peaceful Inazuma in your memory. There are no monsters and nothing that threatens your life."

The soldier calmed down and took a look, and it was indeed true.

But he still didn't understand, what? Obviously, those wild beasts were still nearby just now.

He saw his comrade's body being torn into pieces...

[Paimon: Although I don't understand what happened, that person seems very sad and desperate]

[Yoya: Maybe this is why the general doesn't want to recall the disaster]

[Mavika: The dark disaster brought indelible pain to all countries]

[Kamisato Ayaka: It turns out that Kitsunesai also died in that war...]

"General, did you save Inazuma?"

"It is the right choice to believe in the general. As long as the general is still here, Inazuma will live forever..."

"Thank you, general, thank you, thank you..."

After the soldier finished speaking, as if his wish had come true, the phantom disappeared after a puff of smoke.

The explanation of the shadow is similar to the guess of Tinari in the chat room.

These shadowsIt seems to be the memory of a certain warrior left on the land.

The sacred cherry tree can absorb and purify the filth in the earth veins.

After being attacked by the hounds, the filth leaked out through the cracks on the trunk and condensed into a solid body.

If it is a strong filth, the individual it forms will have strong aggressiveness.

If the filth has been purified, it will only appear in the form of memory.

These purified filth dissipates quickly and will be re-integrated into the earth veins.

They cannot exist for too long.

"That soldier was one of the thousands of victims. What he said was the disaster that happened in Inazuma 500 years ago."

Ying immediately raised her confusion, "He just mentioned that the general was not there, and Lord Kitsune was not there either. What does that mean? Where did you go?"

"At that time, Inazuma was facing multiple crises, some from the local area, and others... from the destroyed kingdom, Kanreya."

Ying continued, "I am worried about the disaster in Inazuma. If I don't intervene in time, this disaster may spread to the whole of Teyvat."

"And my friend Kitsune told me that she would use all the power around her to take on the responsibility of guarding Inazuma and clear my worries."

"...I can feel that even if no one said it out loud, she and I both understand that the road ahead is probably dangerous."

When the Kanreya disaster happened, it was not only Kanreya that was affected.

The land of Inazuma was also invaded by countless monsters.

Kitsune finally gave his life to protect the people.

"I didn't get to see her for the last time, but I want to believe that she kept her promise to me until the last moment."

"But even so, Inazuma's miserable condition was far beyond expectations. Those unfortunate events became a huge wound. It spread across this land... and in my heart."

[Yae Shinko:...]

In the shrine, the little fox was getting a little restless.

She was really powerless back then.

What help could a fox with little power do?

"When I was asked to be the chief priest, I clearly said I would come back, liar..."
