Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Several months have passed since the last scout reconnaissance mission.

As time passed, the entire Guixiuli community gradually entered a solemn atmosphere of anticipation and preparation.

Along the seawall that was officially announced to be completed a month ago, many of the Thousand Rock Army soldiers and Asura archers stationed there were also on high alert.

There's no other reason than that no one knows whether tomorrow's tranquility will be broken or whether war will break out in an instant.

Although it was just a premonition, whether they were demon gods, demon gods' servants, or mortal warriors, they all gripped their weapons tightly and stood ready for battle.

"I'm so nervous... Coach, are we going to keep going like this?"

On the seawall, a young Chiiwa soldier operating a new type of return machine rubbed his hands, which were sweating profusely from gripping the control lever for a long time, and turned to ask the Chiiwa instructor, who was pacing back and forth not far away.

"..."

Upon hearing his subordinate's question, Instructor Qianyan did not reply immediately. Instead, he turned his head and, like the Shura Knight Commander not far away, gazed at the horizon.

After a long pause, the coach's stern voice finally rang out:

"Grip your joystick tightly, soldier, your enemy won't give you time to react."

"Yes, Instructor!"

Qian Yanjun nodded, then gripped the two control levers in front of him again, maneuvering the Return Machine back and forth as a vigilant maneuver.

"Alas, war... is about to break out..."

Coach Qianyan looked at the pocket watch in his hand containing a family photo of his four family members, and then looked up at the thick thunderstorm cloud that had gathered on the horizon weeks ago.

Lightning flashed intermittently through the thunderstorm clouds over the distant sea, but strangely, it did not drift toward the coastline where Gui Xiuli was located.

Without a doubt, that is where the Ocean Alliance's army is located.

Only a power at the level of a demon god could create such a spectacular natural phenomenon.

not far away.

"Jinpeng, are you nervous?"

Fushe, with his four strong arms, stood on the battlement at the center of the entire seawall and turned to ask Xiao, who was holding the Thousand Rock Spear, to his right rear.

"Um……"

Xiao closed his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and after a long while, he looked up at the floating house in front of him and said:

“Brother Fushe, there’s no use being nervous. What’s meant to happen will happen eventually.”

Xiao's eyes were filled with a murderous aura.

"Judging by the size of that thunderstorm cloud in the distance, I wonder what kind of devastation this vast beach beneath our feet will be like then."

To Xiao's left, and behind Fushe's left, Mi Nu crossed his arms and looked at the thunderstorm cloud that covered an area of ​​tens of kilometers in the distance, his tone somewhat sorrowful.

“Slaughter… Since arriving in Guixiuli, I haven’t bathed my water blade in the blood of my enemies for so long…”

Fa Nan looked at the two sharp water blades that had been conjured by his own hands and murmured softly.

"My spear hasn't been stained with blood in a long time..."

Yingda tightened his grip on the flaming spear, his face filled with reminiscence.

"According to the Emperor and the God of War's predictions, the enemy is very likely to launch a major attack on the seawall defense line beneath our feet while simultaneously sending elite troops across the sea to flank us and launch a strong attack on the direction of Tianheng Mountain, which is being defended by Sister Luo Xue. I'm worried..."

Fanan turned his head and stared at the direction of Tianheng Mountain for a long time, looking somewhat worried.

"Fa Nan, among the six of us, Luo Xue is the one who has best inherited Lord Shura's martial arts skills. You must trust her."

Yingda patted Fanan's shoulder and comforted her.

"Well, what's more, Lord Shura has also assigned the Spartan Legion, currently the most powerful fighting force in the Shura Palace, to be commanded by little sister Luo Xue. At the very least..."

Mi Nu lightly kicked a few green military crates with moisture-proof coatings at his feet. The tops of the crates were printed with two imposing sentences in standard Teyvat script: "[Military products of Guixiuli, unauthorized use prohibited!]"

"The firepower and supplies on Luo Xue's side are much stronger than here. There are six of the latest third-generation Gui Zhong machines recently developed by Lord Gui Zhong!"

Just as the five Yakshas were exchanging words, a shadow appeared on a green military crate containing six boxes of defensive grenades piled up next to them.

"In addition, there are three Shura Iron Cavalry legions with a scale of 10,000 each stationed on the vast plain behind Tianheng Mountain. Even if the Tianheng Mountain defense line falls, General Luo Xue can lead her troops to retreat safely under the strong cover of the iron cavalry."

Shadow sat on the top of the armory, wiping the assassination dagger in his hand, and said solemnly without looking up.

Before the Five Yakshas could react, Shadow snapped his fingers again, interrupting the others who were about to speak, and then added:

"By the way, there are also two cavalry legions with a size of 10,000 men each stationed on the vast plain behind the seawall we are in. Closer to here, there are also three more cavalry legions and guard legions, each with a size of 10,000 men, as well as two imperial guard legions with a size of 1,000 men each."

"What?! A cavalry legion of ten thousand men?! And there are three legions stationed there?!"

Fushe's chin nearly hit the floor, his purple pupils filled with shock, and his voice was incredulous.

"When did our Asura Hall... acquire so many soldiers?"

Even Xiao, who rarely showed his emotions, looked at the shadow with some surprise.

"Asura is with you! This is not only the motto of us members of the Asura Hall, but also our consistent principle of existence. The members of the Asura Hall that you usually see are only what is shown to you."

Shadow jumped down from the armory crate, looked up slightly at Floating House, and then said seriously:

"For example, aside from the main hall of the Asura Palace and the branch halls of the Dark Guard, you rarely see members of the Asura Dark Guard Legion, led by me, when you go out. This is because we have broken into smaller units and have been hiding in the shadows where you cannot see us, silently protecting you and every citizen who has returned to Xiuli! This is our mission, and it is also the meaning and duty of our existence as Asura Dark Guards!"

After mentioning the words "mission" and "duty," a surge of intense, indescribable emotion erupted from Shadow's cold and indifferent purple eyes.

It was a sense of destiny composed of the four words: mission and responsibility!

……

As time passed day by day, the day of war quietly arrived.

On this day, a vast thunderstorm cloud swept across most of the Liyue region.

The rain poured down, and occasionally a few bright flashes of lightning, accompanied by thunder, streaked across the dark sky, briefly illuminating the stern faces of every soldier on the seawall who was diligently performing his duties, as well as the cold, hard faces of every Shura soldier on the Tianheng Mountain defense line.

"Report! Lord Shura, Lord Emperor! News has come from both the Tianheng Mountain defense line and the seawall defense line! At the seawall defense line, the enemy has begun to quietly appear on the sea surface under the cover of rain, and is expected to begin their amphibious landing in three hours! As for the Tianheng Mountain defense line... the enemy has already begun landing!"

Upon arriving above the inner city, Gui Xiu received a message from the Shura Guards responsible for keeping a close watch. Immediately, a captain of the guards appeared in the courtyard of the sky courtyard and respectfully reported to Lan Tian and Morax, who were playing chess.

“I understand. You may step down, Commander of the Knights.”

"Yes! Your subordinate takes his leave! My lords!"

After waving away the Dark Guard Knight Commander, Lan Tian picked up a piece from the sand table and placed it on a sand dune marked with a sign that read "Tianheng Mountain Defense Line." He then looked up at Morax, who sat opposite him with a nonchalant expression, and said:

"Morac, let's speculate together: which will be attacked first, the seawall defense line to the east or the Tianheng Mountain defense line to the southeast?"
