Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Swish!

Taking the spear from Lantian, Hailan impulsively twirled it, and a crisp gunshot rang out.

"What a gun!"

Hailan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, her eyes burning with desire as she looked at the spear in her hand.

This made Lan Tian, ​​who was standing to the side, feel a sense of regret for not having met her sooner.

Just then, Bihai chuckled and tugged at Lantian's hand, teasingly saying:

"My sister actually has a bit of a martial arts fanaticism about her, Brother Blue Sky~"

Before Lan Tian could reply, Hai Lan appeared behind Bi Hai like a ghost, grabbing Bi Hai's cheeks with one hand and pulling them from side to side.

"My dear sister, if you don't discipline me for three days, are you trying to climb on the roof and tear the tiles off?"

Hai Lan, her face covered in black lines and with several thumbs-up emojis on her forehead, said in a dangerous tone.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I'm sorry, sister! Stop pulling, it hurts!"

Bi Hai grimaced as Hai Lan grabbed him, his limbs flailing wildly as he quickly begged for mercy.

"Hmm... the bloodline suppression from my older sister, she's definitely my older sister."

Lan Tian, ​​standing to the side, pulled Heulia aside and, while eating sunflower seeds, teased her as if he didn't want the drama to get out of hand.

"Hehe, Lantian, should we go over and try to persuade them?"

Seeing Bi Hai cast a pleading look at the two of them, the gentle Heulia felt a pang of tenderness and turned to tentatively ask Lan Tian.

"Hehe, Heuria, go if you want to. You don't need to ask for my opinion. It makes me feel like I'm your father."

Lan Tian joked, somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Blue Sky, you're so annoying! Where did this demon god, born from the elemental energy of heaven and earth, come from with such a father?!"

Upon hearing this, Heuria patted Lantian's shoulder with a reproachful expression.

Blue Sky chuckled and symbolically shrank back, but didn't let Heuria's hand miss.

Meanwhile, Heuria pouted at the blue sky in a coquettish manner, then her expression changed, and she turned around with a light laugh to rescue the blue sea, which was still being "bullied" by her sister.

After watching the three play around for a while, Lan Tian finally spoke up and called them to a stop:

"Alright, alright, ladies, enough with the joking around. I've come to see you with serious business."

"Serious matters?"

Heureia and the two sisters spoke in unison.

"Could it be that we're getting new weapons?"

Bi Hai rubbed his cheeks, which were a little red from Hai Lan's pinching, and asked curiously.

"Hmm~ Smart!"

Lan Tian smiled noncommittally, nodded, and continued:

"But it's not a conventional weapon, it's this."

With a snap of his fingers, Lan Tian conjured two green military crates containing offensive and defensive grenades, which landed in the hands of Hai Lan and Bi Hai.

"Huh? What is this?"

Hai Lan and Bi Hai exchanged a glance, then simultaneously opened the armory. Upon seeing the thirty wooden-handled grenades inside, they both exclaimed in surprise.

Heuria, who was standing nearby, also leaned over to take a look with a curious expression and asked the same question:

"This is a little gadget I've never seen before. Does it have some special use?"

As Heuria spoke, she reached into the armory box that Hailan was holding in her hands and picked up an offensive grenade.

Heureia looked around for a while, then carefully weighed it in her hands, noticing that one of them was quite heavy, and couldn't help but guess:

"Is this thing meant to be thrown at people?"

Hearing Heuria's words, Bi Hai first picked up an offensive grenade from Hai Lan and weighed it in his hand, then picked up a defensive grenade from in front of him and weighed it in his hand as well, before saying:

"This one with the texture seems to be heavier when I pick it up. Does that mean it will hurt more if I hit someone with it?"

"Pfft!"

Hearing Heuria and Bihai say this, Lantian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Blue Sky's smile immediately puzzled Heuria and the other two. They all tilted their heads at the same time, showing the same bewildered expression, clearly not getting what Blue Sky was trying to make funny.

"If this thing is only used to hit people, I might as well just throw a big iron sledgehammer at you."

Lan Tian shook his head with a smile and reached out to take the offensive grenade from Heulia's hand.

"It's not convenient for me to show you here, come with me."

Lan Tian led Heulia and the other two to an open space outside Guixiu City.

"Huh? When did these training grounds appear here? And some...human-shaped targets have been set up?"

Upon arriving at the open space, the three were surprised to find that several training grounds had appeared there at some point, and they could hear explosions coming from afar from time to time.

"This is a special training range for grenade throwing that Gui Zhong and I built together, specifically for training how to throw this thing correctly."

As Lan Tian explained, he pushed open the iron gate surrounding the training ground.

"Blue sky! Here, here!"

In the distance, Gui Zhong, who was instructing his soldiers on how to throw grenades, immediately beamed with joy upon seeing Lan Tian and the others, and waved his hand.

After Lan Tian and the others arrived, Gui Zhong couldn't wait to grab a blueprint from the table and bring it over, her pretty face slightly flushed with excitement.

"Blue Sky, look! Based on the compressibility of black powder, I used the blueprint of the Final Machine as a template and modified its firing mechanism. This new type of Final Machine can fire large crossbow bolts filled with black powder, which are twice as powerful as our current Final Machine!"

Gui Zhong, his eyes gleaming, began to explain incessantly to Lan Tian and the others.

Seeing that Gui Zhong was in high spirits, apart from Lan Tian, ​​who patiently listened to Gui Zhong's speech and occasionally corrected him, Heulia and the two sisters behind him were completely confused.

After Dai Gui finished saying everything that was on his mind, Hai Lan patted Lan Tian on the shoulder and asked curiously:

"Blue Sky, Gui Zhong, what are those black powder and grenades you were talking about? Can you tell us about them?"

Heuria and Bihai, who were standing next to Hailan, nodded in agreement.

"First of all, this black powder, actually, is like this..."

Lan Tian rubbed his chin and began to explain to Heulia and the other two the process of finding raw materials, developing black powder, and later developing offensive and defensive grenades, while teaching them how to use offensive and defensive grenades.

Just as Lan Tian finished explaining the use and precautions of the grenades to the three, General Ling Shuang, the Iron Cavalry General, arrived at the scene with two heavily armed Luo Iron Cavalrymen on armored warhorses.

"Uu——"

After Ling Shuang tightened the reins and stood firm, Lan Tian gestured to Heulia and the others with his eyes to continue practicing grenade throwing before turning to look at Ling Shuang on her warhorse.

"What brings you here, Ling Shuang? Is there some unusual activity in the vicinity of Tianheng Mountain?"

Seeing that Ling Shuang had come from the direction of Tianheng Mountain, Lan Tian asked her with some suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Ling Shuang nodded slightly to Lan Tian without comment and reported:

"Reporting to Lord Shura, General Luo Xue just sent word that enemy scouts have been spotted on the southern coastline of Tianheng Mountain, and the Ocean Alliance is expected to take action soon."

After hearing Ling Shuang's message, Lan Tian's lips curled slightly, and he crossed his arms, saying:

"They should have done this long ago, but the Ocean Alliance shouldn't launch an attack so soon. According to the intelligence from Hailan and Bihai, the current leader of the Ocean Alliance, the Ocean Demon God, is a very cautious demon god. She won't easily issue an attack order without reliable intelligence support."

Upon hearing this, Ling Shuang immediately recalled the conversation Luo Xue had had with An Ying when she was asked to find her. She nodded in agreement and then inquired:

"Understood, Lord Shura. What are our next steps?"

Lan Tian's lips curled slightly upwards, then his expression hardened, and he began to give orders:

"Iron Cavalry Legion, listen to my command! Immediately split into two groups and, in coordination with the logistics department, deliver our new weapons and components for the new return-to-life machines to Tianheng Mountain and the seawall defense line, respectively. I predict that within a few months, we will be engaged in a true head-on battle with the Ocean Alliance!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Shuang immediately straightened up and responded in unison with the two Asura Iron Cavalry behind her:

"We will obey Lord Shura's orders!"
