If the word demon is mentioned in Liyue, people will first think of the Rock King Morax, who has ruled Liyue for thousands of years and brought people a peaceful life. But then, people will think of the great demon in the sea——

【Demon of the Whirlpool】Osel.

During the Demon God War, Osel may not be Morax's most powerful opponent, but he is definitely his most difficult opponent.

It's not that Osel's strength is so strong, the fundamental reason is that his dependents are too troublesome...

Countless water creatures spewed out of the sea, and large and small monsters rushed into thousands of homes. This was the most terrifying attack.

In order to get rid of these dependents, a certain guest at the Rebirth Hall is still unable to accept seafood food - even if it is made by Xiangling.

Even to this day, every generation of Seven Stars is very clear that the Demon God of the Whirlpool is sealed in Guyun Pavilion not far from Liyue Port, and his threat has never dissipated for thousands of years.

...

As the leader of the fleet who has been fighting at sea for half his life, Beidou naturally knows how powerful this demon god is. But the question is, why did Ningzhe suddenly mention him?

"What exactly happened? Why did you suddenly mention this demon...tell me."

After a long time, Beidou looked at Ningzhe.

"Actually, nothing happened, and there was no trouble."

Ningzhe just shook his head, and then said with a calm expression: "I just want to make a hypothesis, if one day Osel breaks through the seal and kills towards Liyue Port with the anger accumulated for thousands of years, how will you respond?"

Having said this, Ningzhe paused, and then added: "How will the Southern Cross Fleet respond?"

Ningzhe wanted to get reliable information from Beidou, a warrior who traveled across the sea. After all, in the battle of Qunyu Pavilion, the Southern Cross Fleet may not have participated in the battle due to various reasons...

"..."

Beidou glanced at Ningzhe thoughtfully, then thought about it seriously, and said: "If according to what you said, Osel successfully breaks through the seal one day, but the emperor fails to take action in time..."

Ningzhe was stunned. He didn't even say anything about the emperor. Why would Sister Beidou make this assumption on her own?

Did she also discover something?

"...Then, all members of the Southern Cross fleet will set sail as soon as they receive the news. Except for the Death Star, which has the strongest firepower, the rest of the personnel will board small combat boats and use guerrilla warfare."

"The attack mode of the demon is difficult to predict, and the fleet has no experience in fighting the demon, so I used [Sea Mountain] as a reference to simulate actual combat as much as possible."

"In the best case scenario, if the Demon God breaks through the seal and fails to fully recover, then the Death Star's artillery fire will be enough to cause damage, and the scattered combat teams will also be able to receive strong escort. In this way, it may not be possible to directly repel

Demon God, but the reaction time left for others is absolutely enough."

"And in the worst case scenario..."

Beidou paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "The Southern Cross Fleet and I will fight until the last moment. Even if there is still a fighting team here, we will not let Osel get even half a step closer to Liyue Port."

"..."

Ningzhe was silent.

Sacrificing yourself for time?

If it were anyone else, it might be difficult to imagine that this sea lady who often "smuggled goods" would say such a thing.

But... he has no doubt about the authenticity of Beidou's words, because if it were Ning Guang, she would do the same thing.

No, it’s not just Ningguang, but also Qingqing, Ganyu, Chongyun, Xingqiu... Even every Liyue person will make such a choice.

Of course, if we get to that point, it won't be the Liyue people's turn to charge into the battle.

——Because there are immortals...

Unless all the immortals died in the battle, they would not let the war spread to Liyue Port.

When the devil's haze envelopes Liyue, only the flames of the Liyue people can pierce the sky and regain the light.

"Then what if..."

Ningzhe felt as if something was stuck in his throat, making him speechless.

"Haha, what's wrong? You're so coy?"

Beidou took the bottle of wine without pouring it into the bowl. He took a sip directly and then said: "Although you did not grow up in Liyue, and you are used to the ups and downs of life during your long wandering... But I

I also believe in you, if you encounter the same choice, you will definitely make a choice like me that you will never regret."

"...Yes."

Ningzhe nodded seriously.

He has everything here. He may travel to other cities in the future, and he may have a memory of his past, but at this moment, he is a Liyue native.

As a Liyue native, protecting this pure land is his only hope.

"As for me, I'm a rough guy. I don't like scheming like Ningguang." Beidou smiled, and Ningguang was a little embarrassed, but soon she said: "But I also believe that once you encounter this kind of

If things happen, she will do everything she can to protect Liyue."

"...certainly."

"So...you ask me how I would deal with Osel?"

Beidou paused for a moment, but his smile remained: "In the final analysis, I am just a mortal, and I have never dealt with a demon god. How do I know how to deal with him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Beidou's face turned serious.

"But if the day comes, someone has to step up, right?"

Someone has to take the step, right?

What Keqing said before flashed in Ningzhe's mind, and Ningzhe remained silent.

Yuhengxing Keqing once publicly expressed her disdain for Beidou's smuggling behavior. Everyone in Liyue knew that the business-minded Yuhengxing was at odds with the eldest sister of the Southern Cross Fleet.

But Ningzhe didn't expect that they could say such similar words...

...yes.

Ningzhe suddenly had some enlightenment.

There is no absolute strategy. I have always been from the perspective of God, but I don't have the respect and understanding that a Teyvat person should have for the [Demon God].

And in that time and space without his own intervention, the emperor retreated behind the scenes, and when Osel suddenly unlocked the seal, the entire Liyue Port was also united.

Some people are on the front line, turning into stars in the sky, fighting with the devil; some are guarding the port, working with the Thousand Rock Army to resist the devil's followers who wake up with Osel.

Ningzhe has been trying to use the best and most perfect tactical plan to reduce the damage. He has also been working on repairing the relationship between mortals and immortals. Now he even takes the initiative to ask Beidou, who is a "mercenary", about how to deal with it.

He was just afraid of what he would do if he lost. What would he do if Ningguang really destroyed Qunyu Pavilion?

Now he understands.

...People's hearts, this is the fundamental reason why Liyue is the richest country in the Teyvat continent.

"Okay, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Beidou drank the wine in one gulp and put it back on the wooden table with a bang.

"No, thank you Sister Beidou."

Ningzhe smiled, he already knew the answer he wanted.

"Well, let's go out and see how Wanyu is doing."

After saying that, Beidou opened the door directly and walked out first without waiting for Ningzhe.
