"Eula is incredibly kind to us; she always charges ahead in dangerous situations. Honestly, it's quite embarrassing." The knight blushed slightly and scratched his head, recalling how he initially despised Eula solely for her association with the Lawrence Clan.

Suddenly, Lin Feng glanced towards where Eula was sitting, only to find that she had already left.

"Apologies!" Lin Feng quickly excused himself from the knight and rushed in the direction Eula had gone.

Feeling puzzled, he wondered why Eula would leave during their rest time. Where could she be going?

"Broadcaster, follow cautiously behind her. She might be meeting with enemies!"

"Yeah, she's likely the traitor within the Knights of Favonius. Be careful not to get caught, broadcaster!"

"Don't listen to them! There's no way Eula could be a traitor; even Grand Master Farga has praised her!"

"Hmph, maybe she's just exceptionally skilled at deception, fooling even the Grand Master!"

Having interacted with Eula for some time, Lin Feng trusted that she wasn't a traitor but rather a girl with a tough exterior masking her warm heart. Oh, and also someone with immense strength, albeit a bit understated.

Eula moved swiftly, forcing Lin Feng to rent an Anemo Vision from the System to keep up with her speed.

Soon, Eula approached a nearby anchor point. Lin Feng found it peculiar; with her Cryo Vision, why would she need to recharge here?

Ignoring this, he also began recharging his energy. Shortly after, Eula reached an open field where a massive ice cube stood at its center.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, recognizing it as Formless Ice. With her Cryo Vision, how could Eula effectively combat this?!

As Eula moved closer to investigate, the Formless Ice suddenly started shifting slowly.

She swiftly drew her sword and blocked the creature's initial charge. However, the impact sent her sliding backward, leaving skid marks on the ground.

Eula tightened her grip on the sword, determination etched across her face as she stared down the Formless Ice. She knew these elemental beings were immune to their corresponding elements, so she opted to strike directly with her blade.

After a fierce battle, Eula was drenched in sweat, panting heavily with each breath.

Meanwhile, among the resting generic knights who stumbled upon Lin Feng's stream, one immediately sprang up.

"Everyone, pack up quickly! Captain Eula is in danger!" The knight announced, hastily preparing himself for action.

No one complained about interrupting their rest period, as Eula had saved each of them before.

On the surface of Formless Ice, a layer of ice shield began to form, rendering Eula's heavy sword attacks completely ineffective.

Lin Feng couldn't bear to watch any longer and swiftly switched to his Pyro attribute. He charged forward, striking the ice shield with his fist. The shield instantly started melting, causing the Formless Ice to dart away.

"What are you doing here?!" Eula looked at Lin Feng coldly, seemingly unappreciative of his intervention.

"Haha, I'm here to interview you! Where else would I be if not by your side?" Lin Feng laughed, attaching his phone to his clothing, then clenched his fists and focused on the Formless Ice.

"Hmph, I'll remember this... Watch out!" Eula snorted dismissively but quickly noticed the Formless Ice lunging towards Lin Feng. She immediately stepped in front of him, raising her large sword defensively.

Eula was sent flying backward, saved only by Lin Feng catching her. However, it wasn't comfortable for Lin Feng either; he hit the ground hard, feeling like his backside might burst open.

Eula climbed up from atop Lin Feng and asked, "Are you okay? These dangerous situations should be left to me. Step back!"

She gripped her sword firmly with both hands, staring intently at the approaching Formless Ice.

Eula's assertive tone captivated Lin Feng, and he obediently retreated to the back, ready to stream and capture her impressive feats.

The battle between Eula and the Formless Ice resembled an intricate dance. With her exceptional swordsmanship, Eula steadily pushed the enemy back.

Realizing it couldn't overpower them, the Formless Ice once again retreated, encasing itself in an ice shield.

As the designated toolman, Lin Feng stepped up, unleashing a fiery punch that punched a hole through the ice barrier.

Eula glanced at Lin Feng, giving him a subtle nod of acknowledgment. She then swung her heavy sword with great force, causing a resounding "boom" as the Formless Ice exploded instantly.

Quickly, Eula embraced Lin Feng, shielding him by tackling him to the ground. The shattered ice shards flew everywhere, piercing deep into thick rocks.

Thankfully, Eula's swift action saved Lin Feng from potential disaster. Once the explosion subsided, she slowly got back on her feet.

Lin Feng also cautiously rose, feeling a chill of fear realizing how close he had come to being riddled with holes like a sieve.

At this moment, members of the garrison squad arrived on the scene. Seeing the ice shards embedded in the rocks, they too felt a sense of trepidation, unable to imagine just how intense the battle must have been.

"Captain, are you alright?!" Bai Shao rushed over first, looking with concern at Eula's entire body. Only after confirming she was uninjured did he sigh in relief.

"I'm fine!" Eula replied calmly, then glanced at everyone, slightly irritated as she scolded them, "What are you all doing here instead of resting? We still have a massive wave of monsters to eliminate this afternoon!"

"This is a battlefield; every moment you rest and recover your strength ensures your safety in the end!"

The knights lowered their heads, understanding that Eula had their best interests at heart. However, given the choice again, they would still rush to her aid without hesitation.

Lin Feng wiped the snow off his phone and checked the live stream chat comments.

"So harsh! Someone comes to help her, and she doesn't even appreciate it. Truly lives up to being from the Lawrence Clan - utterly ungrateful!"

"Uh... I can tell, it's just a captain showing concern for her team. Can we not blindly criticize everything?"

"She almost got pelted like Swiss cheese while battling those monsters. Are you selectively blind?"

"I also think you're going too far. Eula...doesn't seem like other members of the Lawrence Clan."

"Eula is amazing! Protecting Mondstadt's peace and eliminating monsters from the snow-capped mountains - so impressive!"

[Baron Bunny sends a rocket!]

Overjoyed, Amber donated 10,000 Mora, feeling it was all worth it to support her friend Eula.

Lin Feng's lips twitched slightly; Amber wasn't subtle at all, making it obvious she was boosting Eula! Despite this, he couldn't help but smile and say:

"Everyone, report this leaderboard just a bit more. Can you believe someone tried to bribe the Knights of Favonius?!"

"Hahaha, what a desperate top donor..."

Hearing Lin Feng's comment, Amber couldn't resist giving Baron Bunny another gentle rub. It truly felt like an insult. Hmph, next time, I'll make sure Eula gives him a sound beating! she thought.

However, some remained undeterred and prepared to dig deeper into Amber's background. After all, anyone supporting the Lawrence Clan was seen as their adversary!

Soon, Amber's identity was uncovered, largely due to Baron Bunny's distinctive profile picture.

"This must be Amber, Eula's close friend. Probably a traitor within Mondstadt too, no doubt!"

This individual aimed to rally the crowd against anyone associated with Eula.

Yet, they grossly underestimated Amber's influence.
