Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Chapter 167 An unexpected surprise

After Luo Xue assigned tasks to each Spartan team, Lan Tian gently patted Luo Xue's head from behind.

Luo Xue's delicate body stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered and turned around to look at the blue sky behind her with a slightly flushed face.

"Lord Shura? What are your instructions?"

Luo Xuenuo's serious expression seemed somewhat unnatural.

"I'm entrusting the Tianheng Mountain defense line to you, Luo Xue. You can ask Maxius for help with logistics."

Blue Sky patted Marcus beside him, indicating.

Upon hearing this, Marcius nodded slightly to Luo Xue and Milai, who had come over and taken Luo Xue's arm, and said:

"The conditions at Tianheng Mountain are not like those at the Shura Hall. If any abnormalities occur in the soldiers' physical condition, please let me know so that I can adjust the allocation of supplies in a timely manner."

"Thank you for your help, Maxius."

Luo Xue and Mi Lai thanked them in unison.

After another round of serious instructions, Lan Tianyu, with his sword, waved goodbye to Maxius, Luo Xue, and Milai.

On the way, Lan Tian's expression was a bit of a mix of amusement and exasperation, because he had just learned from Luo Xue that before setting off, Fukalos had been arranged by Luo Xue and the others to eat small cakes in the Shura Palace.

It should be noted that in order to contend with the Ocean Alliance, Gui Xiuli has transformed into a fully operational war machine. Every soldier strictly follows the instructions of Morax and Lantian and performs their duties diligently. Even the streets are now filled with many more Thousand Rock Army and Shura soldiers on guard duty.

Fukaros, leisurely eating cake, seemed quite out of place among the busy crowd around her.

However, as Gui Xiuli's tacitly favored member of the group, no one could criticize Fukalos.

Of course, the main reason is that they have the life to criticize, but not the life to bear the consequences.

After all, no one wants to antagonize a subordinate of two top-tier demon gods.

After chatting casually with Maxius for a while on the way, once they arrived above the Shura Palace's logistics department, Lan Tian picked Maxius up and, without any politeness, threw him off the flying sword at a spot below.

"Master! You threw away your apprentice, not supplies!"

As Marcus free-falls downwards, he roars at the blue sky above the flying sword, which is watching him with a malicious smile.

Marcius's shout was abruptly drawn out as he fell.

Pfft!

With a muffled thud, Maxius, looking disheveled, poked his head out from the tall pile of hay tied up outside the logistics warehouse. Ignoring the amused gazes around him, he looked up at the blue sky and lamented:

"Master, this is too much... Ouch!"

Before Marcusius could finish speaking, a cookbook hit him squarely on the head and landed precisely in his hand.

I glanced down instinctively and found it was a cake recipe book filled with detailed cooking steps.

"Master, may you rest in peace!"

Marcius stared wide-eyed, then grinned, looked up at the blue sky's silhouette, and called out in a deliberately obsequious manner.

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing this, the Shura soldiers and logistics team members who were watching the spectacle couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The Asura soldiers were alright; having undergone professional training, they quickly suppressed their smiles and continued their patrols as if nothing had happened.

The logistics team members couldn't control their facial expressions at all; the women covered their mouths and chuckled, while the men shook their heads with big, carefree laughs.

But the protagonist, Maxius, paid no attention to the kind, smiling gazes around him. Instead, he rolled off the haystack and trotted happily toward the canteen.

It looks like they're about to start experimenting with new dishes.

It can only be said that Blue Sky has a precise grasp of Marcius's personality.

Blue Sky landed at the entrance of the main hall of the Asura Palace and went inside to pick up Fukaros, who was still eating a small cake.

With her cheeks bulging from eating, Fukalos rode contentedly on Lantian's neck, strolling leisurely with him along the streets of Guixiuli's inner city.

"Brother, do I seem a little too relaxed like this?"

After swallowing the small cake with difficulty, Fukaros looked at the many Thousand Rock Army soldiers and Asura Guards standing guard on the surrounding streets, and belatedly looked down at the blue sky, feeling embarrassed.

"Hey, what's the big deal? This is our responsibility as demon gods, you don't need to worry about it."

Blue Sky patted Fukalos's thigh indifferently, offering words of comfort.

"Besides, you won't be able to contribute much by following us, so just be the group's darling."

Blue Sky looked up at Fukalos and winked playfully.

"Um... I feel so embarrassed..."

Upon hearing this, Fukaros looked away shyly, but inwardly she acquiesced.

After all, everyone usually treats Fukalos with great affection and doting, so there is no doubt that she is Gui Xiuli's favorite.

While Fukaros was flirting with him, several ore-carrying wagons, escorted by a few Asura Iron Cavalrymen and several Thousand Rock Army soldiers, slowly made their way towards the Asura Palace.

Hearing the noise, Blue Sky and Fukalos turned their heads to look at each other at the same time.

"Shura is with you. This humble general greets Lord Shura and his wife!"

When the carriage arrived in front of Lan Tian and his companion, the leading heavy cavalry captain pulled on the reins and bowed respectfully to them.

"Asura is with you, soldiers!"

Lan Tian removed Fukaros from his body and returned the greeting with a solemn bow.

Lan Tian glanced at the squad insignia on the knight's right shoulder armor, raised an eyebrow, and asked:

“Aren’t you the Knight Commander of the Second Platoon, Third Squad of the Raider Legion, whom I assigned to guard the border? I don’t recall assigning you any task of escorting a convoy.”

"Reporting to Lord Shura, this was entrusted to us by the God of Wisdom of Sumeru to be escorted back, saying that it would be helpful to our war against Guixiuli."

Upon hearing this, the Iron Cavalry Commander dismounted, stood at attention before the blue sky, and began to report in a meticulous manner.

Just as the Iron Cavalry Knight Commander was reporting to Blue Sky what he had seen on the road, Fucaros nodded to several Thousand Rock Army soldiers beside the carriage and began to curiously examine the cargo wagons being pulled by three fine horses behind them.

After looking left and right for a while, Fukalos couldn't contain his curiosity and lifted the cloth covering the carriage.

After seeing clearly what was inside the car, Fucarus couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Huh? Brother, do we have this kind of ore here?"

Fukalos pointed at the goods on the wagon and turned to shout at the blue sky.

Upon hearing this, Lan Tian nodded to the knight commander, then went to the carriage and took a look, discovering it was a pile of white ore with sharp edges.

Upon closer inspection, these ore bodies are typically white and square-shaped with black or light yellow spots on the surface and a vitreous luster.

Further down, there are some mineral powders, which are colorless, white, or gray crystalline.

When Lan Tian saw this object, his pupils contracted instantly, followed by a surge of ecstasy.

"This is fantastic, it's really good stuff!"

Lan Tian couldn't resist turning around, picking up the still bewildered Fukaros, and giving her a big kiss, making the little girl blush.

The few Qianyan soldiers who were scattered around saw this and wisely turned their heads away, but their ears were perked up.

Seemingly without realizing it, gossiping and gossiping became one of the few pleasures the soldiers had.

Even the few Asura Iron Cavalrymen at the front of the convoy unconsciously pricked up their ears, their eyes full of gossip.

After a while, Lan Tian finally put down Fukaros, whose legs were a little weak from being kissed, and gave orders to the soldiers around him:

"All officers and men obey orders!"

Upon hearing this, the Thousand Rock Army and Asura Iron Cavalry, whose eyes had been filled with gossip, immediately straightened up, stood at attention, and responded in unison:

"Your humble servant is here! I will obey Lord Shura's orders!"

"You shall immediately escort the convoy back to the Asura Palace, and at the same time inform the soldiers stationed there that this substance is called saltpeter, a strategic resource that is extremely important for our upcoming battles!"

As Lan Tian gave instructions, he wrote down the information about the saltpeter mine and the dangers in his mind on a piece of paper and handed it to the leader, the Iron Cavalry Commander.

"I understand!"

The Iron Cavalry Commander received the order and immediately began to lead the convoy.

Before leaving, Lan Tian pondered for a moment and then said:

"Remember, nitrate ore is unstable and can explode violently if it is subjected to severe turbulence or comes into contact with an open flame. Be extremely careful."

"I understand, Lord Shura!"

Upon hearing this, the Iron Cavalry Commander's expression hardened, and he replied solemnly before leading the caravan toward the Shura Palace.
