Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

“Our battalion’s mission is roughly divided into three categories. The first is to clear out monster camps, treasure-stealing groups, and other entities to prevent them from gathering together and harming the people of Liyue.

The second is to be responsible for patrolling the surrounding roads for potential dangers, such as landslides, and reporting back in a timely manner if any are discovered.

The third is to be the guard of the camp. There are two duty options: day and night. You two should follow the experienced brothers and learn how to go out and raid the monster camp!

But remember one thing, first protect yourself and your teammates, then kill the monsters. I don't want to see my soldiers being carried back by others!"

With the instruction of Captain Ying Qian and Captain Shou Nuo, Su Ping and Yan Chuan set out from the camp the next day to carry out the annihilation mission.

Lishajiao is a basin bordering the west side of Yunlaihai, which is mostly hilly and mountainous. There is a main river and many streams branching out. Such terrain has bred countless monsters.

The Qianyan Army stationed here is to fight against monsters and survive in their own home.

As for the philosophical question that this land may have originally belonged to monsters, if someone asked such a question, the residents living here would most likely be directly classified as "Sumeru scholars."

Because according to legend, in the distant past, their ancestors fought side by side with the Yakshas and regained the Liyue territory amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Liyue is the kingdom founded by Emperor Geo, and humans are the people of Liyue, so this place should be their territory.

Monsters are emotionless beings who only know how to destroy. Perhaps they don't even realize that there are people in the world who sympathize with them and create a theory for this.

Fifty Qianyan soldiers, wearing armor and holding guns, with a light crossbow in a small package behind their waists to protect themselves in critical moments, were ready to go out of the camp to kill the enemy.

The Thousand Rocks Army, who are fighting on the front lines, not afraid of pain or bloodshed, also do not understand these philosophies. They only know that monsters can kill people, so they have to kill monsters.

After the first day, everyone returned to the camp happily, holding a pile of broken masks. After recording their military merits, they went back to rest.

He worked from sunrise to sunset and returned home after a few days of repeating this cycle. As time went by, Su Ping's achievements gradually increased.

In the captain's tent, Ying Qian looked at Su Ping's battle report and clicked his tongue. "On the first day, I killed nine Hillichul people. On the second day, I more than doubled the number and made it twenty. On the third day, I killed a Hillichul thug with two shots and wiped out a small team in the monster camp alone..."

"He's seventeen years old and just arrived in the camp. It's surprising that he has achieved such an achievement amid the clamor of the old guard." Qianyan Jun, who went to take over the task a few days ago, was the deputy appointed by the centurion himself. He was mainly responsible for the expenses and personnel arrangements of the camp.

Ying Qian smiled and said, "He has shown such performance just after arriving at the camp. It seems that our camp is going to produce a great general!"

"If he keeps killing like this, he will probably be able to lead a team of 50 people soon. By then, his daily military merits may be even greater!" Deputy Qian Yanjun laughed.

Ying Qian laughed and said, "How was Yanchuan's performance?"

"His kill count isn't that impressive, but his enemy situation reporting and exploration speed are pretty good. With time and practice, he'll be an excellent scout."

"Well, let's arrange it this way. Let's wait a few days and see. If possible, let Su Ping lead the troops and hone his marching arrangements as soon as possible. We can't let others snatch such a brave soldier away!"

……

At this moment, in a monster camp somewhere in the suburbs of Lisha, the Thousand Rocks Army was fighting a bloody battle.

Su Ping stabbed out with his gun, piercing through the bodies of the two monsters in front of him. Then he raised the gun and shook it vigorously. The two bodies flew backwards and hit the roof of the monster camp.

Seeing this man's bravery, four of the stronger Hillichul thugs among the Hillichul people rushed out at once, swinging their giant axes and pulling out violent gusts of wind.

Su Ping appeared calm, and responded with his gun. He fired a shot as swift as a dragon, which pierced into the head of one of the Hilliard thugs with a puff.

Then he dragged the spear and swept it horizontally, shaking off the corpse. The blood on the tip of the spear became thicker because the remaining three Hilliard thugs who surrounded him had their throats cut by the sharp spear tip.

The blood splattered three feet, spraying on Su Ping's clothes and staining his black armor. It was not very obvious, but there was no blood on his face because he knew how to avoid it.

There are only about 20 to 30 monsters in a monster camp, and the maximum number may be close to 40, and at most there are some powerful creatures like the Hillock Rock Helmet King.

However, facing the unstoppable Su Ping, it is probably impossible to resist his might without hundreds of them fighting together.

After Su Ping dealt with the four two-man-tall monsters, he dragged the spear in one hand and rushed towards the chaotic battlefield nearby.

He was not the only one fighting here. There were also forty-nine other Qianyan soldiers. They were equally capable and grew braver as the battle went on. However, because Su Ping was too powerful, they appeared weaker.

Drawing the gun, killing the enemy, putting the gun away, and stabbing again are common techniques on the battlefield. They do not require you to be very flexible or have refined marksmanship, because you have comrades by your side.

Except for Su Ping who stood out alone, the rest of the people adopted a group approach and attacked in unison, because it was safe, efficient and effective, and it protected themselves as well as their comrades.

Seeing Su Ping rushing over and shooting away the monsters with a few shots, the old soldiers who were huddled together couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"This kid is really ruthless when it comes to killing monsters."

"Isn't this good? It's better than not being able to do it and needing us to help hold down the monster so that he can kill it for practice!"

"That's true, but his body will eventually become exhausted from such a high-intensity battle. To be on the safe side, I have to persuade him when I return."

"Young people are full of youthful vigor. Will it be of any use if we persuade them?"

"We have to give it a try. You know that being too rigid will lead to failure."

After a brief exchange, the dozen or so people set up a gun formation and then charged towards the pile of remaining monsters. Corpses were scattered all over the ground. This was the scene before everyone's eyes.

When the spoils were being collected and reported to the camp for merit, a Thousand Rocks soldier with a friendly look, instigated by everyone, ran to the young man and collected the broken masks.

"Su Ping, your spear skills are quite strong. Where did you learn it from?" The man did not explain himself, but found a topic to talk about first.

“I learned spear skills from Grandma Ping in Liyue Harbor.” Su Ping put away his mask while explaining, “Even though she can’t use a spear anymore, the skills she learned are still there. It’s because of her teachings that I am where I am today!”

The man said, "I heard that you didn't stay in the recruit camp for long. I wonder if you have ever practiced battlefield formation drills?"

"I've only been in the recruit camp for three months, so I didn't get much training. Is there any problem?" After saying all this, Su Ping could see that this man definitely had something to say.

The man said calmly: "I'll tell you the truth. These days, everyone admires your skills and knows that you are very powerful. However, judging from the fact that I'm still alive over the years, many of your stances just now are actually very low-level.

You rushed into the monsters and killed them with your gun. You are strong enough to be safe. I don't know if you have ever thought about it. If there is another monster riot in the future, will you still charge alone in the face of thousands of monsters? "

"Of course I won't do that. I am not strong enough to do that. I also understand what you mean, brother. I will pay attention to it in the future and cooperate with the brothers in the team to kill monsters in a timely and labor-saving manner!" Su Ping said sincerely.

The man didn't expect the young man to be so receptive to his advice. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said with a smile, "It's good that you can figure it out. It's definitely not that we are afraid of you stealing the limelight.

I am really worried that in the future, when I am on a bigger battlefield, I will not be careful about my position. That would be such a pity!"

Su Ping smiled but said nothing.

He had been killing monsters like crazy these past few days, not only because he was responding to the centurion's words to accomplish great things as soon as possible, but also because of his own hatred for monsters.

At that time, he and his father almost died at the hands of monsters, and Uncle Zhang and Nancun were also destroyed by monsters.

The Rock Dragon Lizard is a monster, and the Hilliard Man is also a monster. They are birds of a feather and are creatures that Su Ping must kill.

I didn’t have the ability before, and I lived in Liyue Harbor, so I could turn a blind eye to it, but it’s different now.

In the wild, monsters suddenly appear every day from nowhere and stand on the land where they disappeared just yesterday.

Looking at the hostile group and the existence that could bring him military merit, how could he remain calm? Naturally, he should draw his sword, fight to the death and kill them all.

It is said that if you have a grudge, you must take revenge. If you don't, you are not a gentleman.

He may not be a gentleman, but he must repay favors and settle grudges. These monsters that can never be killed will one day be killed by Su Ping's gun.

Su Ping would do what he promised to the Qianyan Army. When he charged forward, he began to pay attention to the connection between the teams and no longer rushed forward recklessly alone.

Although the difference is not huge, since all the monsters can be killed anyway, the feeling is indeed completely different.

Just as the Qianyan Army soldier said, if he faces a real big battlefield in the future, his current half-basin strength will definitely not be enough.

No matter how strong he was, Su Ping did not have the confidence to fight against ten thousand people alone, because that would be an impossible feat.

Although we don’t know which subject will experience such turmoil in the future, and it may not actually happen, we should still make full preparations to ensure that there are no chances of failure.

Because there are no shortcuts to cooperating with comrades, echoing each other on the battlefield, killing enemies in an alternating manner and other skills. Everything is an experience-based action that comes from practicing and fighting.

Tactics are necessary, but not just tactics. Killing the enemy is also necessary, but it is best to ensure that your own losses are minimal, and how to kill the enemy as quickly and as easily as possible...

Many of the things that can only be truly witnessed on this ever-changing battlefield are the key skills that Su Ping needs to learn and master.

Immortal arts are of course convenient, but one cannot rely solely on them. Su Ping deeply realized that apart from immortal arts, there are still many things he needs to learn.

He has a long way to go.
