Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Kailin nodded. "We're relieved with your words! By the way, you just said Commander Lu and General Lei took their men out. Where did they go?"

"They went to the beach." Luo Hao replied.

"seaside?"

"Well, news came from the front line before. When the tide came, a large number of monsters landed on the coast. I guess Lu Xi and the others can't get away now." Luo Hao shook his head and sighed angrily.

"Such a thing actually happens!"

"Then let's go and help as soon as possible." Zhongli said seriously without being arrogant or impatient.

Everyone nodded, and then Kailin once again used the power of the Moon Saint to go to the beach with everyone.

On the beach, the navy was engaged in a fierce battle with a monster. The creature they were fighting was a fish-shaped monster with a human body. Its head was like a fish, with sharp teeth, and its limbs were as slender as a human's. It was a complete freak of monstrosity.

After the monster came ashore, it began to move towards the army at an agile speed. Its unpredictable movement trajectory became a difficult problem for the navy to deal with for a while.

At this moment, Kailin looked at the monster on the beach in the distance and wondered, "What kind of monster is that? It looks so disgusting."

"That's a fish demon, a creature that lives in the deep sea," Tianlang replied. "But it's strange. Although fish demons are aggressive by nature, they live in groups in the deep sea and rarely come ashore. But now..."

"Is it possible that these monsters, like the snow monsters before, are the work of It?" Zhao Heng asked.

"So what do we do now? Do you want to help?"

In the distance, Lu Xi wielded a Fang Tian Ji, his movements like the tide, advancing and retreating freely. Meanwhile, Lei Ming, holding a steel knife, swung his arm like a ferocious lion, scattering the oncoming tide of fish.

"Everyone, come on, we must not let the monster tide get close to the harbor!" Lei Ming roared.

"Yes!"

The generals were in high spirits and then divided into groups of three to capture the monster.

The fish monster is very fast, just like a fish swimming in the sea. Even out of the water, it is still agile and difficult to catch.

As the battle intensified, suddenly, a huge wave rose on the sea in the distance.

"Oh no, General, the tsunami is coming!" the soldiers shouted.

At this moment, Lei Ming cut down the monster in front of him and looked at the wave.

Lei Ming's eyes were fixed on the surging tsunami wave, which was like a towering, endless mountain of water, sweeping in with an overwhelming force.

And in the huge waves, there were many dense black shadows, which were fish monsters. Those monsters from the sea were riding the waves and rushing towards the shore.

"Everyone, retreat!" Lei Ming shouted loudly.

He gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, his brow furrowed as he saw elemental energy gathering around him. Then, the blade of his steel knife began to flash with dazzling lightning. Strands of lightning, like nimble little snakes, snaked from his arms around the blade.

In an instant, the blade was completely enveloped and replaced by lightning. The lightning flickered and leaped, emitting a sizzling sound. The surrounding air seemed to be ionized by this powerful force, emitting a faint smell of ozone.

When the surrounding soldiers saw this scene, the flame of hope ignited in their hearts, and their eyes, which had been a little panicked by the tsunami and the tide of fish monsters, became firm again.

The fish demons seemed to sense this powerful force, a hint of fear in their once frenzied, bloodthirsty eyes. Even so, driven by the tsunami, they surged toward the coast, their dense figures like an evil dark cloud, about to envelop the beach.

Lei Ming stared at the approaching fish monster Haixiao. He held his sword horizontally and shouted, "Witness the lightning of dawn!"

He swung the big knife in his hand, which was completely wrapped in lightning, forward, and a huge flash of lightning was like a roaring golden lion.

The lightning rapidly expanded in the air, and wherever it passed, black cracks were torn into place, making crackling sounds.

The lightning rushed towards the dark cloud of fish monsters with overwhelming force. The fish monsters in the path of the lightning were hit by the lightning before they could react.

Their bodies were instantly charred by the electricity, and then turned into powder with a crackling sound.

The huge tsunami wave wall was also split open by lightning, and a huge gap was created. The fish monsters in the waves were shaken and splashed everywhere by this force. Eventually, the waves lost their stability and collapsed. However, after the collapse, the fish monsters that survived the waves regrouped and began to land one after another.

"General, the monsters are coming ashore again!"

"Stop them, don't let them get close to the harbor!" Lei Ming roared.

"Yes!"

"Oh no, General, the tsunami is coming again!"

"What?" Lei Ming looked forward again.

Five waterspouts on the sea surface continued to swirl wildly, like five gigantic, writhing water demons. At their center was a bottomless darkness that seemed to swallow everything in the world. The seawater around the waterspouts was swept high into vast curtains of water.

The fish monsters appeared and disappeared in the waterspout, their eyes flashing with ferocious light, and they made creepy hissing sounds from their mouths, approaching the coast at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, Lu Xi frowned and shouted behind him: "Quick, use the return machine!"

"Yes."

Behind the army were dozens of giant crossbows, each engraved with a different pattern. The soldiers gently operated the machines to aim the crossbows at the tide.

"preparation……"

"put!"

At a command, dozens of bows and crossbows, along with Lu Xi's command, dozens of Guizhong machines fired at the same time. Each Guizhong machine fired a huge crossbow arrow, which drew an arc in the air and flew towards the sea tide.

The crossbow arrows flew at such high speeds that they rubbed against the air, producing a sharp whistling sound. Each arrow froze on the tide, turning into ice flowers before sinking into the sea.

"Is that Gui Zhongji?" Karen exclaimed when she saw this scene.

Zhongli nodded, then paused for a moment before continuing, "It appears to be a Guizhong creation, but unlike Liyue's, this machine incorporates elemental conversion talismans. This allows it to absorb the power of elemental stones and transform it into attack methods tailored to specific situations."

Zhongli continued, "Although this method can curb the tide, if the energy supply is insufficient or the machinery is destroyed..."

In front, after the fish monsters came ashore, their actions changed. They relied on their agility to break out of the encirclement and then rushed towards the final escape route behind the army.

"Oh no! These fish monsters are trying to destroy the machine. Stop them!" Lei Ming shouted.

The waves had not yet receded, and if the Guizhongji was damaged at this time, all the previous efforts would be wasted. Therefore, the soldiers reorganized themselves again and tried to prevent the fish monster from approaching the Guizhongji.

However, the fish monsters were too fast, leaving shallow traces on the beach, and they shuttled between the soldiers like ghosts. Some of them were even approaching, just at this moment.
