Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Tianhengshan defense line.

The rain was torrential here as well, with thunder and lightning.

Even during the daytime, visibility was reduced to that of nighttime, and only by the fleeting flash of a huge lightning bolt could one briefly see the figures of one's comrades.

"Luo Xue, what are the plans next?"

At the foot of Tianheng Mountain, not far from the gap in front of a cliff.

In the pouring rain, Luo Xue and Mi Lai stood side by side on the edge of the cliff, watching the Ocean Alliance army carrying out a beach landing in the distance.

The one who just spoke was Mi Lai, the archer general to Luo Xue's right.

Luo Xue, who was shielding herself from the wind and rain with her left hand, did not reply immediately. Instead, she turned her head to look at the hundreds of Spartan guards behind her, who were also fully armed.

Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, briefly illuminating the unwavering expressions of the Spartan warriors beneath their helmets.

Judging from the insignia engraved on their shoulders, these were Spartan knights commanders of the legion.

Luo Xue looked up slightly at the summit of Tianheng Mountain, where several disguised third-generation Returning Machines and small arrow towers were hidden among the clumps of grass.

Through the mask of a great general on her face, Luo Xue spoke in a serious tone:

"Has Gui Zhongji already prepared a disguise?"

Upon hearing this, Miley nodded and said:

"Everything is ready. Unless you look closely, most people would think it's the natural vegetation development of Tianheng Mountain."

Because they were wearing Nuo masks, the heavy rain did not affect their communication.

Luo Xue nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the distant, turbulent sea, where several large supply ships could be seen riding the surging waves to transport strategic materials to the beach.

"Are the grenades that were delivered the other day ready?"

Luo Xue slowly lowered the shield that was used to shield her from the rain, raised her hand and removed the mask of the general from her face, revealing her sharp and aloof pretty face underneath.

Seeing this, Mi Lai also raised her hand and removed the Nuo mask from her face, revealing her gentle and mature face:

"Everything is ready. Each Spartan Guard is equipped with three offensive grenades and three defensive grenades, while the Shura Shooters are equipped with five defensive grenades."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue first lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she frowned slightly and turned to look at Mi Lai beside her:

"Do all the soldiers carry it with them?"

Mi Lai could tell what Luo Xue was thinking just by looking at her expression, so she smiled slightly, shook her head, and said:

"No, Lord Shura specifically instructed that wooden-handled grenades are more susceptible to moisture, which can cause the gunpowder inside to fail to ignite. So before we came out, I had the soldiers store them all in the tunnel."

Seemingly to prove she wasn't lying, Mi Lai even patted her waist towards Luo Xue.

Luo Xue looked down and saw that Milai was not wearing the tactical belt that was used to secure the five wooden-handled grenades.

Looking further behind, one could see that the three rings on each side of the plate armor on the outer thighs of the guards, which were used to hold wooden-handled grenades, were empty.

"Um…"

Upon seeing this, Luo Xue's tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed, but then she seemed to remember something and gave Mi Lai a reproachful look:

“I’m telling you, we’ve known each other for so long, how could I not know your personality?”

Luo Xue was clearly bothered by Mi Lai's distant behavior just now.

Mi Lai realized that her actions were somewhat inappropriate, so she gave Luo Xue an embarrassed smile.

"Oh dear, Sister Luo Xue, I was wrong~"

Mi Lai tugged at Luo Xue's free right arm and said coquettishly.

"You..."

Luo Xue looked helpless.

Judging from the soldiers' expressions of being used to it, Mi Lai must often act coquettishly and apologize to Luo Xue.

"Hmm? Something's happening!"

Luo Xue glanced out of the corner of her eye and noticed something unusual on the distant sea surface.

Upon hearing this, the others all turned to look.

Amidst the surging waves, a large cargo ship, caught off guard, was about to turn and leave the coastline when it was struck on its starboard side by a violent wave and capsized on the spot.

Even from several kilometers away at Tianheng Mountain, Luo Xue and the others could clearly see a large number of empty supply boxes on the deck and a few soldiers guarding the supplies being thrown into the air before crashing heavily onto the beach, causing chaos.

"Hooah!"

Seeing that the enemy in the distance had been betrayed by the extreme weather created by their own god, the Spartan guards behind Luo Xue and Mi Lai roared out in anger, venting their inner excitement.

"They reaped what they sowed."

Mi Lai released Luo Xue's arm, crossed her arms, and said coldly and incisively.

"Don't let your guard down; it won't have much impact on the upcoming battle."

Luo Xue looked on with the same indifference, but she did not harbor any侥幸心理 (a sense of complacency or wishful thinking) about her opponent.

"Soldiers, listen to my command! Organize the defensive line! The enemy will soon be attacking Tianheng Mountain!"

"I will obey the Deputy Hall Master's order!"

The hundreds of Spartan knights behind Luo Xue roared in unison.

"Milai, notify the Asura archers at the top of Tianheng Mountain to stand by. The enemy's first wave of attack is very likely a feint, so there is no need to use grenades and return machines for the time being."

As the knights behind her moved, Luo Xue gave instructions to Milai.

“I understand, Sister Luo Xue.”

Miley nodded noncommittally.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating the area around Tianheng Mountain.

But at this moment, Luo Xue and the others were no longer seen on the cliff edge.

“My friend, based on our speculation from the erroneous intelligence passed on by the Ocean Alliance, they will definitely first pretend to launch a frontal attack on the seawall defense line, and then take the opportunity to launch a feint attack to test the defensive strength of the Tianheng Mountain defense line.”

On the sand table, Morax first moved a red piece representing the enemy a short distance towards the beach in front of the seawall defense line, and then pushed the red piece placed by Lantian on the beach near the Tianheng Mountain defense line towards the direction of Tianheng Mountain.

"Hmm...it's pretty much what I expected."

Lan Tian looked down at the sand table, then nodded with his arms crossed.

"So……"

Lan Tian placed several blue cannon pieces, representing his own ultimate move, at the seawall defense line.

"Let our dear Ocean Alliance see what true firepower coverage really is!"

Meanwhile, at the seawall defense line.

"Everyone! At two o'clock on the beach, aim at the enemy's large transport ships!"

Following the example of Lan Tian's command, Gui Zhong directed the third-generation Gui Zhong aircraft on the seawall to lock onto the target.

Within a moment.

"Report! All return-to-base aircraft have targeted enemy positions!"

Not far away, Fushe shouted loudly towards the location where Guizhong was.

"Attention all personnel, three salvos within three minutes! Ready!"

Gui Zhong raised his hand and made a ready gesture.

Along the seawall, all the cannons of the terminal machines began to charge, and almost simultaneously lit up with a yellow light.

Once dozens of transport ships of various sizes on the sea surface entered the maximum firing range of the Gui Zhong machine, Gui Zhong immediately lowered his palm:

"put!"

boom!

As soon as Gui Zhong finished speaking, almost simultaneously all the Gui Zhong machines along the seawall began to roar angrily.

call out!

Dozens of yellow lights flashed across the sky, and on the distant sea, several large transport ships that were bearing the brunt of the attack experienced massive explosions.
