Chapter 428: How Is This Feixiao's PV? This Is Literally a Yaoqing Commercial!
A fleeing, young, and panicked Feixiao was gone.
In her place was a warrior clad in armor, standing independent and strong!
Utilizing the archery techniques inherited from General Yueyu, she led the Foxian soldiers into a new battle!
This time, the enemy was the Abominations of Abundance.
One arrow!
Swift and precise.
And on the screen, text akin to an official announcement appeared.
[ The Cloud Knights right with valor, and the Verdantia proclaim glory. ]
At the same time, the voices of people broadcasting the battle reports echoed in the background.
"The Xianzhou Yaoqing has campaigned against the abominations of abundance. A grand victory!"
[ To break the borisin and quell the plaguebearers. ]
Feixiao held the great banner high.
Behind her stood the Cloud Knights in perfect, uniform formation!
The army stood tall upon the warships.
It was the very picture of setting out for war!
With one hand holding the banner, Feixiao raised her gunblade with the other.
Pointing forward, she commanded all the soldiers.
They unleashed overwhelming firepower toward the front!
"The Xianzhou Yaoqing has campaigned against the Sajin-Xiadou abominations. A grand victory!"
"The Xianzhou Yaoqing has campaigned against the Goerdu abominations. A grand victory!"
The voices reporting the victories could barely keep up with the changing scenes!
Aside from the battlefields, there were also scenes of the people of Yaoqing running around to spread the news of Feixiao's victories.
Scenes of children chasing each other, playing with Figures made in Feixiao's likeness.
This signified that Feixiao had already become a legend in the hearts of the Yaoqing citizens!
…
"???"
"Victory, victory, and yet another grand victory!"
"Holy crap! So you guys calling her the 'General of Grand Victories' really wasn't an exaggeration!"
"I'm getting fired up!"
"Clad in clouds of green and robes of white, raising the long arrow to shoot the stars."
"Riding, shooting, and shedding hot blood, breaking through the siege to reveal the hero."
"Yaoqing is absolutely going wild!!"
…
[ One broke the battle lines alone, and claimed reign over distance of leagues beyond leagues. ]
On the sand table projection, the banners representing the Borisin were pulled out one by one.
They were replaced by the banners of the Yaoqing!
Standing before the sand table was Feixiao, holding her great banner.
[ The Merlin's claw descends— ]
[ The mountain tremble, but the Yaoqing is unshakeable! ]
Thud!
She thrust the banner down!
Feixiao stood atop a high mountain.
Below her was a dense, sea-like crowd of Yaoqing soldiers!
Like a tsunami!
In the sky, starskiffs and warships shuttled back and forth.
The collective roar of the soldiers shook the heavens and earth!
"Clouds obscure the sky, DEFENDING AND SHIELDING THE XIANZHOU!!!"
Feixiao's gaze shifted slightly as she looked forward.
Her younger self and her current self constantly overlapped.
"The abominations are not yet wiped out; heaven and earth are not yet free."
"As the skybow shatters stars and severs storms."
As a young girl, she was powerless against the village destroyed by the Borisin.
But now, she could lead the Yaoqing army to crush the Borisin, leaving those wolves and beasts with nowhere to hide!
"And I…"
"Became THEIR arrow!"
Her younger self and her current self converged at this very moment.
From beginning to end, her gaze had never changed!
Facing the Borisin army, a flame-like green light flashed across her red eyeshadow.
Holding her heavy axe, Feixiao charged directly into the enemy ranks!
Like a tiger among sheep!
Wherever she went, the Borisin were torn apart and sent flying!
Then, she drew her twin gunblades, slashing left and right, carving through them like vegetables!
…
"[ This Body as an Arrow ]"
"She is ridiculously strong!"
"I feel like anyone with this kind of eyeshadow is on another level of strength!"
"Master of all weapons!"
"That's a Borisin army, but Feixiao literally turned it into a dynasty warriors-style mowing game!"
"Someone stop Feixiao, she's about to go godlike!"
…
Everything before seemed to have been just her warm-up!
At this moment, sharp edge and battle intent flowed through Feixiao's veins!
She directly broke the seal!
Tearing off her coat, she revealed the wing-shaped mark on her back.
"While remnants remain, the bloody battle never ends."
"And when I take the vanguard…"
"What lies ahead…"
"Is a grand victory!"
A flash of brilliant light!
The divine spirit bestowed by the Reignbow—Feihuang—descended amidst thunder and lightning!
Below, the Moonrage-infected Borisin stared up.
Upon seeing the inner beast ridden by Feixiao, they were instantly terrified, looking like scared huskies.
"Not enough…"
"Still not enough…"
"Face this terror directly."
"Only the Hunt…"
"Endures beyond death!"
Among the corpses of the Borisin, Feixiao planted her banner into the mound.
She turned her head, casting a cold glance back.
…
"My wallet is the one facing a grand disaster!"
"The General is seriously so cool I could die, ahhh!"
"Is she really this fierce?"
"Feixiao: Not enough, more! I haven't killed to my heart's content yet!"
"Borisin: What the actual f*ck!"
"That side-eye glance, she's truly the god of this version!"
"I voluntarily join the Yaoqing!"
"Is this even Feixiao's character trailer? This is practically a promotional video for the Yaoqing!"
"How much did Yaoqing spend? My Zhuming will pay double to buy a PV like this!"
"I'm willing to marry into her family!! GENERAL!!!"
"Too cool, ahhhhh, General, I will follow you forever [ kneeling ]"
…
In the Shackling Prison.
Feixiao clenched her fists, a passionate fire burning in her eyes!
She had never thought that watching her own video could get her blood pumping like this!
She wished she could go out and have a battle right this instant!
Whether it was the Borisin or the Abominations of Abundance, she wanted to charge right into the enemy ranks like a soaring dragon!
Fortunately, she was Feixiao.
She quickly suppressed this battle intent, planning to save it for her next fight.
"This video is actually quite good."
"Jiaoqiu, when we return to Yaoqing, we can arrange something."
"Have this video play on loop during prime time in all major regions."
"To showcase the might of our Yaoqing!"
Jiaoqiu smiled.
"I see that many players in the comments share the exact same thoughts as you, General."
…
"[ Memorize the whole text ]."
"The Merlin's Claw is here—It is easier to shake a mountain than to shake the Yaoqing!"
"Please analyze the rhetorical device used here."
"An exaggeration is used to reflect General Feixiao's formidable strength, expressing the author's homesickness."
"Exaggeration? This isn't an exaggeration at all, okay!"
"Our Yaoqing is just like this. Portraits of the Merlin's Claw can be used to ward off evil, and her Figures are the children's favorite toys."
"If I ever accidentally run into a Borisin, I'll just pull out my E6S5 Feixiao on my phone and scare them to death!"
"The Merlin's Claw is here, all evils begone!"
…
Feixiao showed a look of gratification.
If nothing else, just seeing these comments made her feel that all her years of fighting had been worth it!
Just when Feixiao thought the video was ending, a new scene actually appeared after the Honkai: Star Rail logo!
Under a blood-red moon, the battlefield lay in ruins.
This scene instantly made Feixiao realize that things were not simple!
Rain fell silently.
She stood alone before a puddle of water.
"O God of the Reignbow Arrow."
"Even if there comes a day…"
"When the 'terror' [ Moonrage ] devours me whole,"
In the puddle, the shadow of her inner beast appeared.
But this time, the inner beast's eyes were crimson, looking as if it wanted to devour its own master!
And Feixiao's pupils were also coated in a layer of red!
With a contorted expression, she seemed on the verge of losing control!
Just then, in her vision, the silhouette of another Feixiao was reflected!
That silhouette held a longbow, drawing the string to its limit, aiming at the out-of-control version of herself.
"But this arrowhead will still…"
"Pierce my heart…"
"Before all else befalls!"
The arrow was released.
And the video came to an abrupt halt at this moment.
…
"Huh?"
"Holy crap! What's going on?"
"We're doomed!"
"Who killed me? And who did I kill?"
"That seems to be the Feixiao from the very beginning."
"It connects the beginning and the end!"
"The General's greatest enemy is herself…"
"The arrowhead of the Hunt possesses the ability to pierce through time and causality."
"This arrow will cross time and space to end my future self!"
"So that's what the opening line 'Can I run faster than a shooting star' meant…"
…
In front of the screen, Feixiao smiled gently.
There were actually so many players in the comments who could understand her.
Of course, the one who understood her best was Feathered Spirit.
This video perfectly recreated her mental journey.
And the arrow that brought the video to an abrupt halt at the end was Feathered Spirit's reminder to her.
"Thank you…"
