Although the current situation looked grim, no one wanted to give up on Mondstadt and flee like stray dogs…
Analyzing the path those monsters were taking across the water, it was discovered that they all seemed to be heading toward Falcon Coast, as if intending to land there and invade Mondstadt's mainland…
The Knights of Favonius and the adventurers who still had strength to fight had also gathered at Falcon Coast, setting up cannons and bows, preparing to intercept the monsters' advance…
"Brave warriors!" Jean stood high above, addressing the crowd.
"Thank you for standing here fearlessly and courageously, in order to protect Mondstadt!"
"No matter what the final outcome of this battle may be, you are already Mondstadt's heroes. Your valor will forever be remembered and sung of!!!"
"Everyone, let us defend Mondstadt together—let us defend our home!!!"
"Defend Mondstadt!!! Defend our home!!!" the crowd below shouted in unison.
Thus, the battle to intercept the monsters officially began!!!
"Brother Su Yuan, I heard you can fly now. Why don't we try working together?"
Klee looked at Su Yuan, her face full of excitement and anticipation.
"These big bad monsters dare invade Mondstadt—I must protect Mondstadt and make them pay the price!"
"This way, I can use my bombs without holding back at all!!!"
"So, Klee, what you mean is you want me to carry you into the air, and then you'll drop bombs down on them?" Su Yuan asked to confirm.
"Exactly!" Klee replied with absolute seriousness.
"Cannons and arrows have limited range, but if you and I work together, we can strike first and intercept the monsters ahead of time!"
Hearing Klee's plan, Su Yuan felt the method was indeed feasible…
At the same time, however, he couldn't help but sigh—wasn't the development of technology across Teyvat just a bit too unbalanced?
In Fontaine, airships had already become common, yet Mondstadt didn't even have a single one…
If only there were airships right now, everyone could ride them straight out over the sea and launch aerial strikes against the monsters from above, instead of having to wait until they approached the shore to intercept them…
After that thought, Su Yuan picked Klee up, but he still felt uneasy—what if his arms got tired, or his grip slipped, and he accidentally dropped her?
So, to be safe, Su Yuan said:
"Klee, why don't you sit on my back instead, and then we'll tie you down with a rope to keep you from falling off…"
"Okay, Brother Su Yuan!!!" Klee immediately understood his concern and nodded eagerly.
After making some preparations, Su Yuan took Klee into battle!
Harnessing the power of Anemo, Su Yuan carried Klee high into the sky, gazing down at the monsters below from above…
"Even though these monsters are immune to elemental power after being corrupted by the Eerie force…"
"My firebombs aren't meant to defeat them directly. My target is the ice beneath their feet that lets them move forward!!!"
Klee said with absolute confidence:
"As long as I melt the ice and leave them without solid ground, they'll fall into the water and drown!"
As it turned out, Klee's idea worked.
The firebombs she dropped quickly melted portions of the ice, causing Slimes and hilichurl monsters to plunge into the water and drown!
The results were impressive, but Klee only carried a limited number of bombs, and soon she had used them all up…
"Brother Su Yuan, let's hurry back and resupply!!!" Klee said excitedly and anxiously.
"Mm, alright, let's return now!"
Su Yuan nodded.
He knew that even with Klee working alongside him, this method of blocking the monsters was ultimately just a drop in the bucket.
Still, it was better than doing nothing at all…
Once again, Su Yuan found himself thinking: if only they had airships here—something that could carry people into the skies to strike first…
Su Yuan landed back on the Falcon Coast shore with Klee, just as they were about to resupply their bombs—when suddenly, a massive figure came hurtling toward them with a deafening roar!!!
"Barbatos!!! Are you still alive???"
"Even though Mondstadt is already on the brink of destruction, you still stand idly by?"
That enormous figure rushing through the skies—it was Stormterror… no, it should be the Anemo Dragon Sovereign, Dvalin!!!
"Since you refuse to show yourself, I will still fulfill the duty of the Four Winds' guardian, and protect Mondstadt!!"
As Dvalin spoke, he landed heavily on the open ground of Falcon Coast, lowered his massive body, and spoke to the surrounding Knights of Favonius and adventurers:
"Warriors, climb on! Let us take the initiative and push back against this monster invasion together!!!"
Su Yuan looked on in surprise, not expecting Dvalin to come and aid everyone in resisting the monsters' invasion!
Although Mondstadt had no airships like Fontaine, they did have a colossal being like Dvalin!
With so many people climbing onto Dvalin's back, their firepower would definitely be far greater than just him and Klee fighting alone!
"Mr. Dvalin, I heard that in Liyue there's a creature called Guoba. As long as it eats chili peppers, it can breathe fire…" Klee looked at Dvalin curiously and asked, "If you ate super-duper spicy peppers, would you be able to breathe fire too?"
"That way, our attacks would be even more effective!"
Faced with Klee's innocent question, Dvalin could only reply helplessly:
"Witch Alice's daughter, Klee, I am a dragon of Anemo, not Pyro. Even if you stuffed my mouth full of the spiciest trash, I still wouldn't be able to breathe fire…"
After Dvalin joined the battle, more and more Slimes and hilichurls fell into the water and drowned as the ice melted beneath them…
But even so, two hands cannot block a hundred blows.
While Dvalin and Klee flew back to reload their ammunition, quite a number of monsters still managed to break through their defenses and gradually approached the vicinity of Falcon Coast…
On the shore, those defending Falcon Coast also fired cannons and rockets, melting the ice under the monsters' feet!
But as the enemy drew closer, the water grew shallower and could no longer drown them…
"Everyone! Prepare for battle!!!" Jean shouted as she charged forward at the lead!
