Soon, Yuuko's words interrupted her thoughts:
"In any case, I will also help keep watch recently. If foreign enemies appear, I will repel them."
Raiden Ei showed a gentle smile on her face, bowed her head toward Yuuko, and gave a light salute:
"Thank you."
"No need for that. Protecting Inazuma is purely my own wish." Yuuko shook his head, then looked at the silent Raiden Shogun:
"Speaking of which, you actually created a new body for the General during this time."
Raiden Ei nodded: "Mainly considering the great war that might happen later, I thought it would be better for the General and me to use separate bodies. This way, we gain an extra fighting force."
"Indeed, and the General's body looks quite sturdy too." Yuuko laughed.
The Raiden Shogun immediately showed displeasure and spoke:
"Don't underestimate me."
Yuuko smiled, quickly sobered his expression, and looked seriously at the Raiden Shogun:
"The joke ends here. Moving forward, I ask that you continue to protect Inazuma."
"Hmph." The Raiden Shogun tsundere-ly turned her head away, saying nothing more.
Seeing this, Yuuko stood up, preparing to leave.
However, just at this moment, Raiden Ei's body suddenly trembled, and her expression changed drastically.
Yuuko, noticing this, quickly asked, "What happened?"
Raiden Ei looked somewhat pale and slowly said:
"Just now... the Archon of Snezhnaya sent a message, saying that the other six nations have received Celestia's command. The command is to attack Inazuma..."
Hearing this, Yuuko frowned: "Celestia is acting so quickly? And all six other nations received the command, doesn't that mean..."
Raiden Ei nodded solemnly: "Yes... In the worst-case scenario, perhaps five nations will launch a joint attack on Inazuma."
"Is that so." Yuuko let out a soft breath, then asked, "When will that fellow, the Tsaritsa, come to provide support?"
Raiden Ei shook her head: "I don't know, but she must be making corresponding preparations on her side."
After speaking, Raiden Ei paused for a moment, then sighed slightly:
"Currently, the Archon of Snezhnaya is on our side. Morax of Liyue is highly unlikely to intervene. Barbatos of Mondstadt's attitude is wavering, and we cannot confirm if he will obey the command."
"As for the Archons of the remaining three nations, they are very likely to obey the command and lead troops to Inazuma."
"Especially the Archon of the Nation of Water. That Archon reveres the Heavenly Principles and will likely deploy troops without hesitation."
"In other words, even if we are extremely lucky and most Archons decide to defy the order, we still cannot avoid going to war with the Nation of Water."
Hearing this, Yuuko pondered for a moment, then asked, "What kind of person is the Archon of the Nation of Water?"
Raiden Ei hesitated for a moment before answering: "He is a very reserved person. Many times I don't understand his intentions, but there is no doubt that he will absolutely obey the command of the Heavenly Principles."
Raiden Ei's eyes became extremely resolute:
"But if he dares to offend Inazuma, I will certainly strike off his head!"
After speaking, Raiden Ei sighed lightly with regret:
"However... if only the Nation of Water comes to attack, that would be manageable. What I worry about is if the other nations also bring troops to attack Inazuma. With Inazuma's current defensive strength, it might be difficult to hold the line..."
At this moment, Yuuko patted Raiden Ei's shoulder:
"Don't worry, you still have me, and the General here. Didn't you decide to rely on everyone before? So, just confidently leave it to us."
Raiden Ei looked at Yuuko in surprise, and after a long moment, she showed a faint smile:
"Mhm."
