Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

With the knights deliberately slowing their advance, the scouts successfully followed them to the foot of Tianheng Mountain.

Even though the knights deliberately slowed their pace, the scouts were still exhausted.

After gritting their teeth and following for half an hour, the scouts finally spotted the knights talking to Luo Xue.

Then, as if completely exhausted, the group collapsed to the ground, leaning against a large tree, grumbling and complaining:

"Goodness gracious, are these Rangers on some kind of superhuman speed boost? They're so fast! I almost couldn't keep up with them several times!"

"Damn it, they were all flying around on the tree trunks like Superman, it was exhausting..."

"This speed is practically like a forced march..."

……

"Stop arguing! Instead of complaining, you should get some rest!"

The team leader scout was also exhausted, but he still got up and leaned against the tree trunk. He turned around and scolded the team members behind him, pretending to be calm. Then, through the gaps in the grass, he stared intently at Luo Xue and the others who were talking not far away.

far away.

While seemingly asking Luo Xue if she needed help, the Knight Commander was actually exchanging information with her using tactical hand signals from outside the scouts' blind spots.

“I see… I understand, Knight Commander. I will immediately select two thousand elite Spartans from the three thousand soldiers to reinforce the seawall.”

Luo Xue subtly winked at the knight commander in front of her, then turned her head and pretended to order her Spartan legion members to assemble.

"Spartans, assemble!"

As soon as Luo Xue finished speaking, the previously scattered Spartans quickly assembled and formed a square formation!

Swish!

The scouts were so impressed by the Spartans' rapid assembly that they all instinctively withdrew their heads.

There was no other reason than that the Spartans' fierce, murderous gazes instilled a great deal of psychological intimidation in them.

"My god, that look...it's terrifying..."

A scout gasped softly, his body trembling uncontrollably.

The scout leading the team tried to remain calm:

"Don't panic, they haven't spotted us."

Even he himself didn't realize that his voice was trembling slightly.

"What a powerful aura! This must be an invincible legion under the command of the God of Asura!"

Another scout swallowed hard and cautiously speculated.

"However, if they are going to mobilize two-thirds of their forces to reinforce the seawall, then the remaining third of their forces should not be able to stop our subsequent amphibious landing force!"

Hearing Luo Xue's reprimand, the team leader suddenly had a change of heart and couldn't help but get excited.

Everyone nodded in agreement, but someone quickly spoke up to remind them:

"However, team leader, just to be on the safe side, should we check again to see if there are any heavy weapons here on Tianheng Mountain? Like that Guizhongji thing?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd's initial excitement subsided, and they began to ponder.

"You're right. I've heard that this Returning to the End Machine is a powerful weapon used to confront the gods. So, what should we do next..."

Before the scout leading the group could finish speaking, the respectful voice of the knight commander from behind the bushes suddenly rang out:

"General Luo Xue, there is something I'm unsure whether I should say."

Upon hearing this, all the scouts behind the bushes immediately became alert and pricked up their ears.

“Speak freely, Commander.”

Luo Xue said calmly.

"All the returning machines here at Tianheng Mountain have already been packed up and sent to the seawall defense line. Now you need to allocate two-thirds of your troops..."

The knight commander hesitated, but Luo Xue still sensed the hesitation in her words, so she waved her hand dismissively and said:

"The seawall will be the main battlefield. As long as the main battlefield doesn't collapse, Tianheng Mountain is irrelevant."

"Understood, General Luo Xue, Shura is with you!"

The knight commander and the two rangers behind him sheathed their swords and gave Luo Xue a solemn military salute.

"Shura is with you! Knight Commander."

Luo Xue raised her spear and returned the salute.

……

Upon hearing this, the scouts immediately nodded to each other in tacit agreement, deciding not to delay any longer and quietly beginning to retreat.

"Did everyone hear that just now?"

After creating some distance, the scout in charge confirmed with the group.

Seeing everyone nod in agreement, the team leader scout thought for a moment and then decisively pointed to two people.

"Then there's no time to lose. You two, hurry back and inform the gods of this important information. The rest of us will try to find out the weak points in the seawall defenses."

After the two disappeared into the dense forest, the scout leader glanced at Luo Xue and the others who were preparing to depart behind him, and decisively said:

"Let's go back to the seawall."

Everyone nodded, then quickly retreated into the bushes and disappeared into the dense forest.

Shortly after the group left, Shadow, accompanied by two bodyguards, gracefully leaped down from the treetops where they had stood, revealing himself.

"Shadow General, why did you stop me from making a move just now?"

A slightly younger bodyguard behind the shadow scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Before Shadow could speak, a guard beside him smacked the man on the shoulder and said irritably:

"Are you stupid? If you make a move now, won't that arouse suspicion from the enemy regarding the current situation and expose Lord Shura's plan?"

Upon hearing this, the guard was taken aback at first, then lowered his head in shame and said earnestly:

"Your subordinate knows his mistake and begs for punishment, General Shadow!"

Shadow didn't turn around, but waved his hand and said:

"It's alright, it's not your fault. After all, I didn't have time to tell you about Lord Shura's plan, newcomer."

"Young people are naturally restless and impatient, it's normal."

At this moment, Luo Xue smiled and walked out from behind the bushes, coming to the group and speaking in a mature and composed manner.

"Asura is with you, General Luo Xue!"

The two guards turned around and saw that it was Luo Xue who had arrived, so they immediately bowed.

"No need for formalities, gentlemen."

Luo Xue returned the greeting, then patted An Ying on the shoulder and said:

"Shadow, when do you plan to make your move?"

Upon hearing this, Shadow crossed his arms with a somewhat aloof air and said succinctly:

"When they discovered the cracked section of the seawall."

"Hmm... In that case, let's see if the other side dares to jump into every pitfall and launch a frontal attack on the seawall."

Luo Xue nodded meaningfully.

"General Luo Xue, what if the other side doesn't dare?"

The somewhat young bodyguard raised his hand at the opportune moment and asked a question.

"If you dare not, then you will be playing right into Lord Shura's hands."

Shadow chuckled, turned to look at Luo Xue, and said in a deliberately sour tone:

"After all, Lord Shura has assigned our Vice Hall Master to command the most powerful Spartan army in the Shura Hall, stationed at the Tianheng Mountain defense line."

Upon hearing An Ying's sarcastic tone, Luo Xue's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but rub her forehead, saying:

"I'm telling you, it's just that I narrowly beat you in the election for the position of deputy hall master, and you're holding such a grudge against me?"

Upon hearing this, Shadow immediately turned his head and snorted coldly, retorting defiantly:

"If it weren't for your swordsmanship, Luo Xue, your proud spear skills alone might not be enough to defeat me!"

Shadow deliberately emphasized the word "swordsmanship," indicating that he was still somewhat resentful.

Luo Xue raised her eyebrows at this, then smiled mischievously:

"At worst, I can give you a few seconds' time next time we compete. You're a defeated opponent!"

Luo Xue deliberately mimicked Shadow's tone, crossing her arms and emphasizing each word as she spoke: "defeated opponent."

"You! You look down on me, don't you?!"

Upon hearing the words "defeated opponent," An Ying's expression visibly stiffened. He then pointed at Luo Xue with a hint of defensiveness, his tone filled with resentment.

"Hehehe~ You can't beat me~ Shadow General~"

Luo Xue playfully stuck out her tongue and said smugly.

"Hey!"

……

Behind the two of them.

The two guards had already taken a few steps back with a stern expression when the two started to bicker, and sat on a horizontal wooden stake, cracking sunflower seeds and watching the commotion with amusement.

"Brother, it seems our Shadow General has a lot of issues with General Luo Xue?"

The young guard who had just apologized nudged the slightly more mature guard beside him, his face full of gossip.

"That's right. Let me tell you, when the five generals were competing for the position of vice hall master, General Shadow first drew General Mad Dragon, then General Love, while General Luo Xue drew General Miley, and then skipped a round."

The somewhat mature-looking bodyguard covered his mouth as he shared this with him.

"Um, isn't this a bit unfair to the Shadow General?"

The young bodyguard glanced subconsciously at Shadow, who was still bickering with Luo Xue, and rubbed his chin, muttering under his breath.

"Oh, that's not true at all. After careful consideration, Lord Shura decided to let the two rest for a day before the competition."

The experienced bodyguard waved his hand and continued:

"But what no one expected the next day was that after being pried open by the Shadow General's spear tip and getting close, General Luo Xue decisively abandoned her spear and drew her sword, finally placing the sword against the Shadow General's neck, and narrowly defeated him."

Upon hearing this, the young guard was stunned and stammered:

"So...so, everything General Shadow said is...all true? General Luo Xue is not only proficient in spear fighting, but also in swordsmanship?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the seasoned bodyguard gave him a look that said, "Young man, you've never seen anything like this before," and continued in a mature and collected manner:

"This is nothing! Newcomer, do you think our six generals of the Asura Hall are only proficient in one combat skill? They are the elite of the elite, who have stood out from the crowd since the establishment of the Asura Hall!"
