Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

“We have won a great victory!”

"We took over Bayun Island with almost no effort!"

The soldiers of Kaijima were rejoicing, which formed a sharp contrast with the groups of shogunate troops who were driven out of Yamajima and had no boats and could only move on foot to Nashiki Beach. It was also a sharp contrast with a certain Tengu who flew in with a dark face and flew away in disgrace.

There were even quartermasters pushing carts, delivering piles of confiscated shogunate weapons to various locations in the military camp: "Come on, it's time to exchange weapons! Hand in your original weapons, and we'll exchange them one for one!"

“Do we still have to hand it in?”

"You can't even use two of them?"

"But this gun has been with me for several months..."

"If you don't change, there are plenty of people who can. Come on, it's time to change weapons! Hand over your original weapons and we'll exchange them one for one!"

"I me me!"

"Give me one!"

The soldiers vied with each other to show their support, and after getting their new weapons, they gestured a few times in their hands, all with smiles on their faces.

"I've heard that the weapons of the shogunate army are forged with a special material called Tamangang. Today, I see that they are indeed light, hard, and sharp!"

"The so-called Tamagotchi is nothing more than the remaining power stolen from Lord Umiji Daimikami. It has been wasted by the shogunate army for so long. It is time to return it."

"'Umiji Daigokami'... I heard that the real power of 'Umiji Daigokami' was sealed by General Raiden with a talisman. Once released, the entire Bayun Island will be affected. It feels a bit dangerous... I don't know if 'Umiji Daigokami' will take into account the bloodline of the people of Umiji Island."

"Didn't Lord Coral Palace say that after Lord Umiji Daimikami passed away, that power became a masterless force, so it doesn't care who you are."

"Then, then isn't it very dangerous to stay on Bayun Island? We'll be affected if we're not careful!"

"Why do you think the Shogunate Army became so chaotic when they heard that the Fatui wanted to destroy the talisman and that someone in the Shogunate Army was colluding with the Fatui? It's because this force is too dangerous! But there are several talismans, so we just need to guard them well and not destroy them all at the same time."

"No wonder, no wonder those surrendered soldiers were finally let go by Lord Coral Palace. We really can't let outsiders interfere in this kind of thing..."

"That's part of the reason, but the main reason is that from the beginning, Lord Coral Palace wanted their equipment. Why did they keep them here? Did they think the supplies on Haizhi Island were not enough? Who could afford to support them?

"That's right. Without weapons and armor, they can't go to the battlefield at all. If we use their equipment to arm us, we can also expand our army and recruit those who came to Haizhi Island early into the resistance army. It's a win-win situation!"

"Makes sense!"

"Master Coral Palace is so amazing!"

"Why did I hear that this operation was commanded by Mr. Chen?"

"Hey, I heard about it too. I heard that the whole plan was arranged by Mr. Chen, and the turbulent situation of the shogunate army was also created by Mr. Chen, but in the end it was handed over to Lord Coral Palace to implement."

"Mr. Chen is good at farming and planning, he is really... amazing."

"Haha, how shameful! I can't even think of a nice word to praise someone!"

"Tell me, if this was really done by Mr. Chen, what kind of reward will he get for such a great achievement?"

"Shh..."

A soldier made a gesture for silence, and the others realized something and skillfully changed the subject. After a while, Lord Coral Palace and Mr. Chen were seen walking from behind.

"If the furnace of Tadashi Sand is a time bomb, then the remaining power of Lord Kaiji Daimikami is... a controllable bomb. Now it's the turn of the resistance army to worry about this problem. It always feels unsafe to let ordinary people guard it, and sending the holder of the Eye of God is a waste of manpower... What do you think?"

"To do a good job of propaganda is to do a good job of guarding."

"advertising?"

"It would be good to inform the possible criminal suspects in advance."

The two were discussing things while patrolling the military camp. Wang Chen explained carefully:

"As for the shogunate army, the talisman on Yagyu Island was built by General Raiden and the Narujin Taisha Shrine required strict protection. Moreover, with the personalities of Kujo Masahiro and Kujo Sara, they would never do anything to destroy the talisman.

"The resistance army should emphasize the dangers of destroying the town objects to prevent the uninformed followers of the 'Sea God' from causing damage. At the same time, since we are stationed on Bayun Island, we will definitely not do anything that will harm our own interests.

"So we talked to the shogunate army, the rebels, and the islanders of Bayun Island and told them that anyone who tried to destroy the talisman was definitely a member of the Fatui, and we would kill them no matter what they were wearing.

"In this way, there are three forces in total. The two forces in Inazuma's native land have no reason to destroy the town. Although Yayun Island is occupied by the rebels, the islanders are still nominally Inazuma people. The Fatui are forced by public opinion to destroy the town. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages, so they should not ask for trouble.

"However... we agreed with the residents of Bayun Island that we should attach importance to the protection of the town objects. We should send more people to guard them. We can use the equipment we got this time to form a team dedicated to guarding the town objects. It would be best if the islanders can also participate. It is related to their own safety. They will feel more at ease if they feel involved."

"Well, once this matter is resolved and the troops on Haizhi Island are replenished, Bayun Island will be completely stable."

As they walked along, feeling the soldiers' unconcealed jubilation, Coral Palace's heart counted on his fingers: "Remediate the wasteland, catch the traitor, and collect the eight brews."

"It's hard to imagine that you've done so much in just half a month since you came to Haizhi Island, but the results are obvious to all. I've also confirmed that you're a trustworthy person. If I promote you to military advisor at this time, no one should have any objections."

"You believe me so soon?"

When Ying arrived, he only served as the captain of the special operations team. Although he was confident that his current contribution to Haizhi Island was greater than Ying's, it was completely expected that he would be given such a high position after only knowing her for half a month, even if he had to observe her for a while.

"Don't underestimate me. I have checked with Captain Beidou."

"Sister Beidou is really famous."

"So?" Coral Palace Xinhai stopped, turned around, looked at Wang Chen and asked, "Are you willing to take on the role of military advisor for the resistance army?"

"If, I mean if, I were to serve as a military advisor, would I have to go to get off work and leave on time every day?"

Coral Palace Xinhai sighed helplessly: "Why do I feel like you have a special obsession with going to work?"

"...Since you have assumed the position of military advisor, you naturally cannot be as free as a staff member. However, many tasks that require desk work in the resistance army are deeply tied to Haizhi Island. This part is difficult to separate and will still be handled by me. But you must at least set an example and let the soldiers see you. They can always find you if there is a problem."

"Isn't this a general's job?"

"That's about right. Originally, the military advisor was supposed to assist the general. The situation of the resistance army is entirely due to my special status. But if you take on this position, I can guarantee that you will be on an equal footing with Goro."

"Hmm... sounds alright."

……

After waking up from his faint and hastily fleeing to the Mulou Teahouse, Ying asked in confusion, "General Lei Dian didn't catch up with us?"

"Even if she didn't catch up, the situation must be not good!"

"That's right. If nothing unexpected happens, the shogunate army will soon be looking for us, and Narukami Island will become unsafe."

"Then what should we do?"

Recalling the thrilling scene in front of the Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed Statue just now, Paimon's face was full of worry. Fortunately, Thomas showed her a way: "Go to Mingzhui Beach to find the resistance army. There are not many forces willing to take us in, but the resistance army is an exception."

"I still remember that Linghua said... it was that... organization organized by the Coral Palace, the organization that resisted the Eye Hunting Order!"

"Well, it was originally organized by the 'present-day god priestess' Coral Palace Heart Sea from Kaiji Island, and is currently led by her subordinate Goro... Although there were bad rumors a few days ago that the resistance army threatened to destroy the evil god talisman on Yawan Island to threaten the shogunate army to withdraw from Yawan Island, as far as I know, they are definitely not that kind of people."

"A talisman of evil spirits?"

"The Suishin Talisman seals a dangerous creature called Suishin. You can learn more about it after you arrive. Anyway, the rebels have occupied Yaebo Island and are fighting the shogunate army in the area of ​​Nashiki Beach. You can find them there. As a shrine magistrate, I cannot trust them, so I can't go with you."

Paimon nodded as if he understood, then reacted: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Don't you remember? This is the fiefdom granted by the general to the shrine magistrate. Only the Kamisato family, the shrine magistrate, can plan, build, repair, and even manage the people coming in and out. For me, hiding in the Mulou Teahouse is the safest place around here."

"Hey! Then, can we hide here too?"

"…Is that what you think? Maybe it will work."

Looking at Thomas's thoughtful expression, Ying asked Paimon, "But the solution is not here, right?"

"That's right, we can't hide here forever... Let's get going quickly. If we keep dragging it out, the people from Tianling Fengxing might come looking for us!"

After seeing off Ying and Paimon, Thomas hurriedly passed through the room that was separated by a screen like a maze and hid in the basement of the Mulou Tea House. However, he didn't expect to meet an unexpected person when passing a compartment.

"Master?" He explained quickly without thinking too much, "I was captured by Tianling Fengxing to confiscate the Eye of God, but I escaped. I'm afraid I'm wanted now."

"I see."

“…Master, although many people know that I hold the Eye of God, the task of confiscating the Eye of God has not yet been assigned to the Third Magistrate. I am afraid there is a conspiracy behind this matter. If it involves the Kamisato family, then I will not hide.”

"Those old guys suppress their opponents when they are happy, and they also suppress their opponents when they are sad... I know who ordered Tianling Fengxing to capture you, you just need to hide well."

Thomas hesitated: "Master, could it be..."

Kamisato Ayato shook his head and laughed: "This is the situation I wanted to see, but I didn't do anything. I just let things take their course."
