Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Chapter 163 Nowhere to Escape, Operation Cut the Grass

[Seawall defense line?]

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, considering the reliability of this operation.

After a long silence, Morax put down his teacup and said calmly:

"I think it's feasible."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at Morax.

"What do you mean, Morax?"

Gui Zhong fiddled with a mechanical contraption in his hand and asked first.

Morax opened his amber eyes, glanced at the crowd, and said calmly:

"Firstly, my old friend's rock elemental power is about the same as mine, so creating a ten-meter seawall together is a piece of cake."

After saying this, Morax stood up, walked to Blue Sky's side, traced the long, narrow coastline with his finger, and continued:

"Secondly, we do not know when the other side will launch a war, so relying solely on the efforts of our people may not be feasible in time."

After a moment's thought, everyone nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, given our current productivity, it would take several months or even half a year to build a ten-meter seawall."

Luo Xue recalled the scene of the workers sweating under the scorching sun when she and Lan Tian led the team to build the city wall.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and respect.

"Moreover, if we go to such great lengths, our spies in Guixiuli will probably get restless."

General Ling Shuang of the Iron Cavalry spoke with some concern.

"Don't worry, they won't have that chance."

Lan Tian smiled mysteriously and said quietly.

"Ok?"

Lan Tian's words immediately piqued everyone's curiosity, and they all looked over.

"My friend, what do you mean by that?"

Morax said thoughtfully.

Blue Sky merely smiled slightly, then turned and raised an eyebrow at the silent Shadow:

"Shadow, you tell us."

"Yes, Lord Shura."

Shadow nodded, rose, and performed a distinctive knightly salute to the crowd, his tone somewhat cold as he said:

"Based on the long-term surveillance by our secret guards, we have confirmed that there are 135 spies scattered throughout the outer city of Guixiuli. Among them, 12 were recently infiltrated, which should be the spies sent by the Ocean Alliance. Hmm... this was before Lord Shura's return. As for the inner city, due to the strict guarding by our Shura Hall soldiers, no spies have been able to infiltrate."

After saying this, Shadow turned to look at the blue sky and respectfully said:

"Lord Shura, should I order the guards to take action?"

But just as Shadow was rubbing his hands together in anticipation, Blue Sky's next words brought him to his senses:

"Heh, quick reaction, but let's not rush to make a move on them, so as not to alert them."

Lan Tian shook his head, then turned to look at the map behind him, and said:

"Besides, since we're already here, wouldn't it be a waste not to mess with them a little?"

Lan Tian gave a somewhat sinister smile as he looked at the crowd, his tone carrying a deeper meaning.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately understood what Lan Tian meant, and they all revealed a meaningful smile.

Since you are so heartless, then don't blame us for being unjust!

……

After an hour of in-depth discussion, as the sun set, Blue Sky and Morax rose together and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Everyone got up and left the courtyard one after another, each carrying out their own tasks.

Morax and Gui Zhong went together to the eastern coastline of Gui Xiuli to conduct a topographical survey.

Marcius and Ruoduo went to Tianheng Mountain to coordinate personnel and lay the groundwork for Lantian's next arrangements.

Heuria then took the sisters Hailan and Bihai to familiarize themselves with Guixiuli's military strength and operational model.

After all, when it came to discussing some detailed personnel arrangements, the two sisters suddenly looked completely bewildered, appearing somewhat dazed.

The other Asura generals and Thousand Rocks instructors returned to their respective units to prepare for battle.

“Shadow, wait for the scouts to report back incorrect information before you make your move. We need to give the Ocean Alliance some false information to intimidate them and buy some time.”

Outside the courtyard, Lantian patted Anying on the shoulder and emphasized it again.

"Understood, Lord Shura!"

Shadow nodded earnestly in assurance, then raised his hand to put on his armor, transforming into a purple ray of light as he headed towards the Asura Palace.

"Hmm... He's quite aloof, which suits my taste. I wonder if I could find some time to spar with him..."

The people behind Lantian were getting ready to fight.

"I say, Fushe, aren't you afraid someone will suddenly sneak up behind you and stab you in the back?"

Yingda gave Fushe an elbow strike with a wicked grin.

Having joined Gui Xiuli for some time, Fu She and the others have clearly gained a clear understanding of the Asura Palace, including the abilities of the six Asura Generals.

"Go away, what do you know? They'll definitely spar with me face-to-face, that's called male teamwork!"

Fu She poked Ying Da's forehead in annoyance, then arrogantly tilted his head back and snorted coldly.

Just then, Lan Tian's unexpected remark caused Fu She's expression to freeze instantly.

"Shadow is very good at ambushes, Fushe, you'd better be careful not to get poked in the backside by him~"

Lantian teased Fukalos in his arms while looking at Fushe with a mischievous grin.

Luo Xue, who was standing to the side, also chimed in, seemingly enjoying the spectacle:

"In terms of assassination skills alone, Shadow's abilities far surpass ours."

"I share the same view as Sister Luo Xue on this point."

Ling Shuang affectionately took Luo Xue's arm and echoed her.

"Huh? Is Shadow's assassination ability that good?"

Fa Nan looked at Luo Xue and Ling Shuang with some curiosity.

"Isn't that right? Even Sister Luo Xue almost lost in one-on-one practice. Luckily, Sister Luo Xue's swordsmanship is also proficient."

This time, it was Admiral Love who spoke.

She also came to Luo Xue's side, took Luo Xue's other arm, and then smiled playfully at Fanan and the others who were looking at her, and said:

"Don't look at him like that. At most, he can only go toe-to-toe with Shadow."

Both are agile Asura generals; one excels at direct confrontation, while the other is adept at sneak attacks. In a direct confrontation, neither is willing to concede to the other.

"When did Sister Luo Xue learn swordsmanship?"

Mi Nu shoved Fu She aside, ignoring Fu She's resentful gaze behind him, and went to Fa Nan's side.

"Sister Luo Xue learned this from Lord Shura some time ago, saying that it's always good to have more skills."

Behind Luo Xue, the burly Imperial Guard General Kuanglong bent down slightly and climbed over the courtyard gate, which was somewhat low to him, to explain to Mi Nu.

This is a burly young man who is over two meters tall. Underneath a tight-fitting combat suit, his muscles are clearly defined and exude power, but he also looks somewhat simple and honest. There are scales on the backs of his hands that are unique to the Yaksha clan.

Afterwards, several Asura generals all cast respectful glances at Luo Xue.

The others had been observing Luo Xue and Lan Tian's diligent sword practice from beginning to end.

It's important to understand that once you're proficient in spear techniques, mastering swordsmanship is extremely difficult.

However, through Luo Xue's diligent training day after day, she has already mastered the basics of swordsmanship.

Amidst laughter and conversation, everyone boarded their flying swords in the blue sky and returned to the Asura Palace to begin setting up the formation.

At night, Guixiu left the outer city and went to a hidden alley on the side of a wide street.

Several furtive shadowy figures crouched together, surrounding a roughly drawn map of Guixiuli city, which was pieced together from several smaller maps.

However, the location of the inner city area is left blank.

"Damn it, what's going on inside the inner city? Not only are there heavily armed soldiers guarding all four city gates, but there are also people on the city walls. It's impossible to sneak in!"

One of the figures spoke with a gloomy expression.

"Not only that, ever since we entered Guixiuli, we've always had a feeling of being watched, like we're being targeted."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other figure looked around warily, appearing somewhat besieged on all sides.

"But speaking of which, the level of prosperity here is much better than back home. I wish I could settle down here!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than several horse-drawn carriages roared past on the street outside, accompanied by the loud neighing of horses.

"Come on, we went through a lot of trouble just to sneak in. And according to them, the tokens we have are temporary. We can't become official residents until we've lived here for six months."

One of the figures shrugged helplessly.

After hearing this, several people fell silent.

They admitted that they were indeed tempted, after all, Guixiuli's urban infrastructure and armed forces far surpassed those of the Ocean Alliance.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Compared to this, the Ocean Alliance, which lives in an underwater ruin, looks quite pathetic.

"Ahem, enough of this small talk. You should all know the news to some extent by now, right?"

After an unknown amount of time, one of the figures, clearly the leader, broke the silence; the voice was that of a girl.

Upon hearing this, the group nodded in agreement, their expressions becoming noticeably more serious.

"Gui Xiuli plans to launch a full-scale attack on us, at which time they will close the city gates and prohibit all Gui Xiuli personnel from entering or leaving..."

"Boss, is this information reliable?"

One of the figures asked timidly.

"It should be highly credible."

The leader frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

"I overheard some members of the Asura Hall chatting by chance."

One of the dark figures pinched his chin and spoke.

"Hmm? What a coincidence, I got the information from the Thousand Rock Army guarding the city gate."

Another figure spoke up, somewhat surprised.

"Me too."

"me too."

The others chimed in with their agreement.

After they finished speaking, the figures exchanged glances and began to exchange information.

Undoubtedly, the information about the group came from either the Thousand Rock Army or the Asura soldiers.

After everyone had exchanged information, everyone, including the leader in black, had certainty in their eyes: the news must be true!

"There's no time to lose. I'll return to the territory immediately to inform the gods that you should continue to lie low here!"

The leader hurriedly put away the map and stood up.

The others followed suit and stood up.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, boss. We'll continue to gather intelligence!"

Upon hearing this, the leading figure nodded slightly to the person who had just spoken, and then quickly left the alley.

After watching their leader leave, the others also left one after another.

Shortly after the last figure left the alley, on a rooftop above where they had just plotted their scheme.

Shadow and a Shura guard who was accompanying him dispelled their shadow state, and their figures slowly emerged.

"Lord Shura, as you predicted, those spies from the Ocean Alliance couldn't sit still after learning about the false information we spread."

Shadow and his guards jumped off the roof at the same time, and with cold expressions, they picked up their exclusive Asura General tokens from their waists and said in a cold voice.

After he finished speaking, the Shadow Guard picked up the token, listened for a while, and whispered a few words in the Shadow's ear.

"Hmm... Lord Shura, I just received news from my subordinates that a figure secretly slipped out of Guixiu Li and hurriedly left to the east."

"Indeed, out of fear, the Ocean Alliance will likely behave itself for a while."

On the other side, Blue Sky, located in the logistics area of ​​the Asura Hall, immediately showed an expression of "I knew it" after listening to Shadow's report.

Lan Tian casually dipped the already tempered Hai Lan spear into water to cool it, then solemnly addressed the Shura Token placed to the side:

"All Asura Guards, listen to my command and execute Operation Cleave the Grass!"

"I obey the command of the God of War, Asura!"

All the Asura guards who received the order from Blue Sky, including Shadow, shouted in unison!
