Genshin Impact: What, the one we need to save is Focalors?

In a relatively formal guest cabin on the ship, Gorou carefully examined the man before him.

The man had a handsome face and wore a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses, adding a touch of refinement and introversion to him.

His brown eyes sparkled with deep wisdom, and the faint smile on his lips revealed an approachable demeanor.

However, Gorou knew well that beneath this gentle and elegant exterior lurked a devil that made everyone shudder.

The man spoke in a teasing tone, "It's quite unexpected that Gorou, the renowned general of the Watatsumi Island Resistance, would humble himself to work for me."

Gorou maintained a serious expression and replied solemnly, "Director Yide, my presence here is purely personal and has nothing to do with Watatsumi Island. Please understand this clearly."

Lin Yide couldn't help but chuckle, saying with a touch of mockery, "Gorou, do you really think such a clumsy excuse can convince me? You're clearly here to gather intelligence and look for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack."

Gorou's face immediately turned pale. He hadn't expected Lin Yide to see through their intentions so easily. He eagerly pleaded, "I am willing to take full responsibility. I only ask that you do not vent your anger on Watatsumi Island."

"Don't vent my anger on Watatsumi Island?" Lin Yide sneered contemptuously. "Do you think that's possible? You know, I'm not some soft-hearted person."

He slowly walked up to Gorou, his voice low but full of menace, "Tell me, should I destroy Fort Fujitou, or should I flatten Sangonomiya Palace?"

The more Gorou listened, the more his heart grew cold. He had no doubt about this man's coldness and madness, and he pleaded again, "Director Yide, as long as you spare Watatsumi Island, as long as your conditions are not too excessive, we will do our best to meet them."

When Lin Yide heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter, as if he had found a very interesting prey.

Immediately after, he listed his conditions to Gorou one by one, each of which was quite demanding, probing the bottom line of Watatsumi Island.

But at the same time, Lin Yide also threw out a very attractive bargaining chip - the West Factory would help solve the long-standing food shortage problem of Watatsumi Island.

After hearing all the conditions, Gorou did not linger and immediately left the cabin.

These important decisions needed to be made by Sangonomiya Kokomi.

.....

As Gorou passed through the gate of Fort Fujitou, he happened to encounter a group of Fatui who had just come out from inside.

Their faces were full of arrogance, as if they were superior, and they showed little respect for the people of Watatsumi Island.

Although Gorou was inwardly displeased with their attitude, he did not show it on the surface. He simply walked quickly past them without getting into a conflict.

He went straight to Sangonomiya Kokomi's barracks, ready to report to her.

Upon entering the barracks, Gorou saw Sangonomiya Kokomi sitting in front of the low seat, a deep sorrow in her brows.

Clearly, the outcome of her conversation with the Fatui was not very good.

Seeing Gorou return, a joyful expression immediately appeared on Sangonomiya Kokomi's face.

She quickly stood up from the ground and walked up to Gorou. "Gorou, it's so good you're back!" Her voice was filled with joy and relief.

A warm current surged in Gorou's heart. He said sincerely, "Lady Sangonomiya, I made you worry."

Sangonomiya Kokomi calmed her excited mood and asked with anticipation and anxiety, "How are things over there? Is there a possibility of success for our surprise attack plan?"

Gorou sighed heavily and revealed a cruel reality to her. "The hope of a successful surprise attack is slim. The West Factory Guards are elite soldiers who have undergone rigorous professional training, and their combat power is very strong.

Moreover, they have humanoid mechanical constructs patrolling around the clock. These constructs can eliminate all intruders within a few minutes."

When Sangonomiya Kokomi heard this news, her heart sank by half, but she still reluctantly pressed on, "What if the two of us attack together? Perhaps we can achieve some results using our Vision powers."

However, Gorou's next words completely shattered her hope. "Yide himself is also a powerful warrior with a strong Vision. In front of him, I couldn't even muster the courage to try to make a move."

Sangonomiya Kokomi keenly noticed the issue. She asked Gorou in confusion, "Have you already seen Yide with your own eyes?"

Gorou replied frankly, "Yes, not long after I infiltrated, my identity was discovered by the West Factory Guards, and I was then escorted to Yide."

A nervous and concerned expression appeared on Sangonomiya Kokomi's face. "Did he do anything to you?"

Gorou shook his head gently. "He didn't do anything to me. He just discussed some conditions with me and then let me come back."

"What conditions did he propose?" Sangonomiya Kokomi asked impatiently.

Gorou didn't answer immediately. Instead, he first asked Sangonomiya Kokomi, "What task did the Fatui give us this time?"

When the Fatui were mentioned, an undisguised disgust showed on Sangonomiya Kokomi's face. If it weren't for these despicable guys instigating the Watatsumi Island Resistance soldiers to destroy the warding tools on Yashiori Island, the current situation on Watatsumi Island would not be so difficult.

She said in a deep voice, "They demanded that our Watatsumi Island Resistance immediately go to war with the West Factory and the Shogunate, otherwise they threatened to cut off our food aid!"

"These beasts!" Gorou couldn't help but curse. "Aren't they just trying to stir up war and completely mess up the entire Inazuma? And the food aid they provide is all rotten and only fit for animals."

"If there were any other options, I would never accept aid from these beasts." Sangonomiya Kokomi's tone was full of helplessness.
