Chapter 431: Requesting to Join the Fight! Feixiao and Hoolay Are Maxed Out on Hype!
"I was actually pretty nervous, but March 7th's perspective cracked me up again!"
"The big battle is imminent, how are you two still so relaxed and cheerful!"
Guinaifen burst out laughing.
In this Wardance ceremony, March 7th would be representing the Luofu swordsmen.
After seeing the scene on the spot.
March 7th inevitably felt nervous.
Yet Yunli was still taking her around to scout out the strength of the other contestants.
They seemed completely oblivious to the gravity of the situation!
Fortunately.
The main storyline quickly shifted back to the perspective of Changle Temple.
[ After releasing the bait, the Feixiao's true hunt begins. The Cloud Knights lock onto Hoolay's location and march toward Changle Temple. Meanwhile, the attack declared by Hoolay is about to begin. ]
Led by Feixiao.
Stelle and Yanqing headed toward the target location together.
However.
The courtyard where Hoolay had stayed not long ago was already empty.
Not far away.
Moze knelt on one knee on the ground.
He seemed to be injured.
Surrounding him.
Was a group of disguised Borisin!
"General… I failed. That mad dog left me here to… declare war on you."
Beside him.
An ill-tempered Foxian smiled sinisterly, "Yes, I've been holding back the urge to tear his throat open. After all, Lord Hoolay ordered us to stay here just to see…"
"If you, the famous Feixiao, the mortal enemy of the Borisin, have the ability to play this… hunting game with him?"
Feixiao's gaze darkened slightly. "Hunting is no game. It is a war of life and death. Prepare to die, Abominations!"
…
"Hiss… Injured Moze seems even handsomer?"
"Are you done? I must fight for the living."
"Are you done? I'm going to set the seas of stars ablaze."
"Are you done? I shall weep for the departed!"
"Sam: Time's about up~"
"They're just trying to stall for time, right?"
"These Borisin are basically a suicide squad, meant to deliver the declaration of war while keeping Moze from escaping."
…
The battle ended quickly.
And Moze quickly informed them of Hoolay's plan!
"Hoolay plans to attack the bustling markets on the Luofu."
"This is that guy's trump card. Within Hoolay lies the Plaguelost inheritance passed down through generations of Borisin. I saw him transform a Foxian into a Borisin with my own eyes…"
"This is Hoolay's declaration of war. His blood… can quickly warp and madden Foxians. He gave his blood to his subordinates, wanting to spread it all over the Luofu to incite panic!"
Upon learning of this.
Feixiao sighed, "To want to surround us by his own strength… he really is an unexpected monster."
Yanqing made a decision, "Contact the Sky-Faring Commission and the Cloud Knights immediately to initiate a travel ban, requiring all Foxians to stay indoors."
Feixiao shook her head.
"The moment we saw the enemy's declaration of war, it meant they had already begun their move."
"Remember what I told you? Hunting requires considering what the prey thinks, rather than blindly chasing its tracks."
"What Hoolay wants is for everyone on the Luofu to panic. He wants to see us throw ourselves into disarray, wasting our limited manpower chasing shadows on every inch of the Luofu, exhausted in the end."
"It's just like the game Yaoqing people love to play at banquets: covering an object with a few bowls, shuffling them around, and asking you to guess which bowl it's under."
"But in my eyes, these are nothing but smoke and mirrors—"
"No matter what Hoolay does, he cannot change one fact: he is trapped on the Luofu. If he wants to escape, his only way is to find a ship."
Saying this.
Feixiao looked up.
She stared into the sky.
…
"She's so calm, I love her!"
"Both Feixiao and Hoolay's charisma are maxed out!"
"Two individuals, both the strongest existences of their respective factions."
"It really feels like a fated showdown…"
"I love Honkai: Star Rail's story so much!"
"I thought it would be a simple hunt and encirclement, but every plot point is unexpected yet completely logical!"
"Both Feixiao and Hoolay's tactical minds are maxed out!"
"This gets my blood pumping, I wish I could rush into the game and join the fray…"
…
"Right now… the only ship he can see is the Skysplitter in the sky," Stelle spoke up.
Yanqing, however, showed doubt.
What if they guessed wrong?
"Are we going to abandon those places with lower probabilities?"
Feixiao smiled gently, "This is another lesson you must learn beyond swordsmanship: trade-offs and choices. It's a question we always ask ourselves but can never resolve."
"Before making a decision, we must kill the hesitation in our hearts; after making a decision, we must wrestle with regret."
"We might choose the wrong path, causing innocent comrades to sacrifice themselves in vain; we might guess the enemy's move correctly, but underestimate their strength and suffer defeat…"
"But hesitating is more fatal than making a mistake. No matter what, we must make a decision."
"Everyone, hear my command. I will station myself at Central Starskiff Haven, evacuate the crowds, and deal with all possible incoming attacks. I will fight with all my might to ensure the safety of the ground."
"Nameless, please aid the Xianzhou just as you did during the rebirth of the Ambrosial Arbor. I must ask you and Moze to search for Jiaoqiu's whereabouts here."
Feixiao's words.
Could be described as deafening and thought-provoking!
Across the universe.
Countless players in front of their screens expressed their admiration at the same time!
…
"The General said it so well!!"
"The most important trait for a leader is decisiveness. A wrong but decisive move is better than hesitation."
"These words suddenly cleared up my mind."
"Hesitation leads to defeat!"
"Yanqing started having this problem after his battles with Blade and Jingliu—hesitating and worrying too much."
"Yanqing: I understand now!"
"I've really learned a lot from Star Rail."
"I don't read books on military strategy, I just play Star Rail!"
…
As the Cloud Knights deployed everywhere, blockades and searches quickly got underway.
The remaining elite Cloud Knights stood in formation, awaiting orders.
Feixiao stood before everyone.
She spoke with a powerful, resonant voice, "Everyone! On the territory of the Xianzhou, the Borisin actually had the audacity to challenge us, boasting that they would wash the bustling streets of the Xianzhou in blood!"
"Behind us are the defenseless citizens of the Xianzhou and travelers from afar. Let me ask you, as Cloud Knights, can we allow the Borisin's plan to succeed?!"
"Never!" The unified roar of the Cloud Knights echoed.
"Stay on high alert!"
"Calling Central Starskiff Haven, all Cloud Knights on full alert, guard against Borisin attacks!"
At the same time.
Yukong's transmission came through, "Feixiao, wolf-like creatures are moving at high speed through the alleys of Central Starskiff Haven—"
Feixiao's gaze sharpened!
"Hold on, I'm on my way!"
…
"OH OH OH OH OH…!!!"
"This is so hype!~"
"Let the Abominations of Abundance on the Xianzhou answer us!"
"The time has come for the Alliance and the people to test us!"
"I only play high-stakes matches!"
"I cannot fall, behind me are the lights of ten thousand homes!"
"My blood is boiling, guys!"
"Damn, have you all turned into Cloud Knights?"
"I'm not a Cloud Knight, I'm a Galaxy Ranger, requesting to join the battle!"
"I, a Nameless, request to join the battle!"
"Iron Cavalry of Glamoth, requesting to join the battle!"
