Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Just as Gui Xiuli was fully preparing for battle, the Ocean Alliance, which had been on edge for two months, also began to notice something was amiss.

"Strange, wasn't it supposed to be a full-scale offensive? Why hasn't Gui Xiuli made a move yet?"

Ba Che was the first to raise a question to the Ocean Goddess Kali.

Carrie frowned, her eyes filled with suspicion:

“I also find it strange. The information we received before was that Gui Xiuli would launch a full-scale attack, but two months have passed and there hasn’t been a single move…”

Ausel, who was standing nearby, also came over and offered his opinion:

"Could the information be wrong, or has something happened to Gui Xiuli?"

Upon hearing this, Carrie fell into deep thought, increasingly convinced that the information might be problematic. She then slammed her hand on the table:

"No, we can't just wait like this any longer! Immediately send out our most elite scouts to gather information near Gui Xiuli's territory and find out exactly what Gui Xiuli is up to."

Soon, the scouts obeyed and left.

However, the somber atmosphere hanging over the Ocean Alliance did not ease with the departure of the scouts.

The members of the Ocean Alliance remained on high alert, both worried about a possible attack from Gui Xiuli and uneasy about the strange silence.

Because no one knows if this is just the calm before the storm.

While waiting for the scouts' reports, the atmosphere among the demons and their followers grew increasingly tense. Everyone felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on their hearts, unsure of what kind of situation awaited them.

Some of the more conservative demon followers were also feeling suffocated by the heavy atmosphere and couldn't help but silently pray that the war would be delayed.

Just as everyone in the Ocean Alliance was feeling uneasy, Gui Xiu left.

After several days and nights of preparation, Lan Tian and Gui Zhong gathered some Shura Knight Commanders and Qianyan Instructor in the rear and began a heated grenade throwing training exercise.

"Lord Shura, may I ask what the difference is between these two types of grenades with different casings?"

After Lan Tian gave a brief introduction, a knight commander pointed to two boxes of different types of grenades on the table and raised his hand with a puzzled look.

Lan Tian simply smiled at this, then picked up two different types of grenades from the box and showed them to the group of people who were full of curiosity:

"This type of grenade has a smooth metal casing and is an offensive grenade. It is mainly used for assaults, breakthroughs, and other unprotected operations. It relies on the shockwave of the explosion to kill or stun the target. After being thrown, it can continue to advance without cover. The kill radius is about five meters."

After speaking, Lan Tian put down the offensive wooden-handled grenade in his right hand, then tossed the defensive wooden-handled grenade in his left hand, and continued his explanation:

"This type of grenade has a spiral embossed metal outer shell and is a defensive grenade. It is more than three times more powerful than an offensive grenade and is used for defensive positions with cover. It kills nearby enemies by producing high-speed fragments or steel balls from the explosion. After throwing it, you need to take cover behind cover because the blast radius of this thing is about five to fifteen meters."

As he spoke, Lan Tian disassembled the warhead of the defensive grenade in front of everyone, used the Oath of Purity to cut open the shell, and showed everyone the solid black powder compressed into blocks and the steel balls inside the shell.

The knight commander and the instructors of the Thousand Rocks were all greatly impressed and nodded repeatedly.

Gui Zhong added from the side:

"Everyone should choose the appropriate grenade according to different combat scenarios to maximize its effectiveness. But please note that using the wrong type of grenade is no different from suicide. Do you all understand?"

"Understood, Lord Gui Zhong!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

After a brief demonstration of how to use the two types of grenades, Lan Tian announced the start of the throwing training.

However, before training began, Lan Tian reminded everyone:

"Attention, soldiers! Whether it's an offensive or defensive grenade, once you pull the pin at the bottom of the wooden handle, it only takes five seconds to detonate the internal gunpowder. So remember, do not approach any grenade that has already been detonated."

"My subordinate understands!"

After everyone responded to Lan Tian in unison, the Knight Commander and the Thousand Rock Instructors stepped forward one by one to receive two types of grenades. Under Gui Zhong's guidance, they went behind their respective bunkers and began to work hard to master the grenade throwing techniques.

Lan Tian even personally corrected the soldiers' throwing postures:

"Pay attention to the strength of your wrists and the angle of your grip; that's how you throw farther and more accurately!"

The soldiers were fully focused, striving to master the skills of using this new weapon.

Some soldiers initially threw crookedly and not far enough, but after a few attempts, they gradually found their rhythm.

The sound of grenades exploding could be heard from time to time on the training ground, and smoke filled the air.

Everyone in Gui Xiuli was going all out for the upcoming battle. They knew that only by being fully prepared could they achieve victory against the Ocean Alliance, whose numbers far exceeded Gui Xiuli's.

Just as everyone was getting into the swing of things, an unexpected incident suddenly occurred!

One of the Sen'an Army instructors, in a moment of nervousness, accidentally dropped an offensive grenade while throwing it, and it fell to his feet.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers around him turned deathly pale, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Gui Zhong, who was a few steps away, widened his eyes upon seeing this and was about to shout to remind everyone to lie down and take cover.

But some people reacted even faster than Gui Zhong.

"Lie down!"

At this critical moment, Lan Tian, ​​relying on his special forces training experience from his previous life, rushed forward and pulled the instructor into a foxhole nearby, then quickly threw himself onto the grenade.

boom!

Almost at the same moment everyone lay down, the grenade exploded beneath Lan Tian with a muffled thud, and the powerful shockwave made everyone's ears ache.

Lan Tian, ​​on the other hand, was blown upwards by the force of the explosion by one centimeter. Then, as if nothing had happened, he got up and patted the gunpowder residue and shrapnel left on his chest and clothes.

A single grenade is not enough to harm Lan Ru's top-tier demonic body today.

After the smoke cleared, the people lying around slowly got up.

Upon seeing this, there was a moment of silence, followed by a burst of gasps, and then everyone wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads with lingering fear.

After all, listening to lectures is one thing, but witnessing the explosive power of a grenade up close is still very intimidating for soldiers who are dealing with this weapon for the first time.

Gui Zhong, who had just gotten up, was relieved to see that there were no casualties. He looked up at the blue sky with admiration and relief in his eyes.

Given the critical situation just now, Gui Zhong was absolutely certain that if it were her, she wouldn't be able to complete the actions of rescuing the person and covering the grenade within four seconds.

The Qianyan Army instructor was already so frightened that he collapsed in the foxhole, his face full of guilt.

Lan Tian stepped forward, pulled him out of the foxhole, patted him on the shoulder, and gently comforted him:

"Don't blame yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. Just learn from them and don't be too hard on yourself."

The coach nodded gratefully to the blue sky, regained his spirits, and a newfound determination appeared in his eyes:

"Thank you for your guidance, Lord Asura!"

Training continued, with everyone becoming even more focused and attentive, making more thorough preparations for the upcoming battle.

Time passed unnoticed during training, and it was already sunset.

Just as Lan Tian and his team were training in full swing, on the seawall...

The shadowy figure leading the covert patrol was drawn to the ripples on the distant sea.

Shadow narrowed his eyes at this, and immediately led his bodyguard adjutant to a reef on the beach in front of the defensive line, where they lay prone and entered shadow form, becoming alert for any movement in the distance.

By the moonlight, the shadows noticed several heads slowly emerging from the water and stealthily approaching the seawall.

Shadow's expression hardened, and he turned to his adjutant behind him, giving the order:

"Inform Your Majesty that the enemy has begun to sense something is amiss and has sent scouts to investigate."

"You will finally understand."

The adjutant responded in a low voice, then slowly retreated, leaped off the reef, and returned to the seawall.
