Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura
Chapter 181 Cleaning Up the Battlefield, Battle Begins at Tianheng Mountain
Half an hour after the Ocean Alliance fleet withdrew from the seawall.
"Everyone! Clean up the battlefield, check for any survivors, bring back as many as you can, and kill any who resist on the spot!"
After confirming the battle was over, Ranger General Love swiftly flipped away from the hiding tunnel and gave orders to the Rangers behind her.
"My subordinates have the order!"
Many knights bowed in response to Love, and then began to leave the tunnel in batches to take the lead in cleaning up the battlefield.
Meanwhile, on the seawall behind, Gui Zhong ordered Xiao to lead the Shura Guards down to help clean up the battlefield.
"My goodness, look what they've done to the person!"
A knight-errant turned over a nearby corpse and exclaimed in astonishment when he saw that the body's chest was mangled and bloody from being blown apart by shrapnel and steel balls.
"No need to look anymore, they won't even survive."
The knight commander to whom the ranger belonged shouted at him from nearby.
"Understood, Knight Commander."
Upon hearing this, the knight immediately stood up and responded.
However, out of caution, the knight still chose to draw his sword and stab the corpse twice in the chest before leaving.
This made Love, who was observing the battlefield from the rear, nod with satisfaction.
"Guys, there are survivors here!"
Upon discovering surviving soldiers, the ranger kept his distance with one hand holding his sword and the other waving to his companions around him.
After two rangers with red crosses engraved on their shoulder armor arrived with a stretcher and two Shura Guards, the rangers immediately hid behind the Shura Guards who were holding up shields and slowly approached the enemy who was still groaning in pain on the ground.
After confirming that the other party posed no threat, the two guards lifted him onto a stretcher.
"Cough cough... Help me... I don't want to die... I still have family..."
On the stretcher, the soldier, who was receiving emergency treatment, grabbed the arm of the knight above his head with his only remaining right hand and pleaded in anguish.
"You won't die, at least not on the battlefield."
The ranger, whose arm was being held, tried to comfort the other man while bandaging him with his field medic's kit.
Even through the Nuo mask, the wounded soldier could sense that the other party had no intention of killing him. His tense nerves relaxed, and he fainted.
"He only lost an arm, so there's still hope for him."
Another ranger, who was bandaging his legs, sighed and spoke to his companion opposite him.
"This is already very lucky; at least we weren't smashed to pieces by Gui Zhongji's crossbow bolts."
As he spoke, the knight opposite him acted as if nothing had happened, reaching out to pick up a bloody, mangled severed hand that had fallen to the ground and tossing it aside.
Not only the Asura Knights serving in the front-line combat legions, but even the soldiers belonging to the rear medical legions, were more or less accustomed to this bloody scene.
Compared to this somewhat brutal and bloody battlefield, the soldiers were far more ruthless when hunting down invading monsters.
When fighting enemies who are also human, soldiers can at least consider whether to keep a few prisoners for later interrogation.
However, once they encounter ferocious demonic enemies, well, sorry to say, the soldiers will fight even more ruthlessly than the demons themselves, especially the soldiers of the Asura Hall, each one more cold-blooded and insane than the last.
Take the Shura Knights, who serve as the mobile vanguard of the Shura Palace on the battlefield, as an example. When fighting against enemies who are also human, the Knights usually prioritize how to disable the opponent's weapons and render them incapable of fighting.
When faced with an enemy who is already injured or has lost all fighting ability, the Ranger will usually choose to persuade them to surrender first, and then kill them.
Of course, if someone is a stubborn individual who resists to the bitter end or deliberately mocks and provokes others, then what awaits him is the Knight's merciless twin blades.
However, if the opponent is a ruthless and inhuman monster, the Ranger often has only one choice: to kill the opponent at all costs, even if the means are extremely cruel.
Therefore, after the Knights of the Rangers fought with monsters, the ground was often littered with the monsters' severed limbs and heads. Finding a complete monster corpse was considered disrespectful to the Knights of the Rangers.
This has nothing to do with whether one is benevolent or righteous, or whether one is moral or immoral.
"Let's go, take him back to the rear field medical clinic."
After quickly bandaging the prisoners' wounds, the two rangers lifted the stretcher and evacuated towards the seawall.
Similar scenes were playing out all over this beach that had been ravaged by gunfire.
As the battlefield was cleared, more and more wounded were placed on stretchers for emergency treatment before being sent to rear hospitals.
What was rather unexpected was that none of the prisoners encountered had the intention of fighting to the death.
On the contrary, they all had a strong will to survive and did not want to die. Some of the wounded even called out and waved to the rangers who were cleaning up the battlefield from a great distance, making a difficult plea for help.
This made the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield wonder if the Ocean Alliance was treating these soldiers very unfriendly.
While the battlefield was being cleared up on this side of the seawall, several kilometers away at the Tianheng Mountain defense line...
"Luo Xue, they've started organizing an attack."
On Mount Tianheng, Mi Lai, who was in charge of observing the enemy's movements, put down his binoculars, picked up the general's token at his waist, and reminded Luo Xue, who was organizing a defensive formation below.
"How many people and what is their equipment level?"
Luo Xue, who was organizing the Spartan Guards to form a shield wall, said succinctly.
"The number of people is about 10,000, and most of them are equipped with plate armor or leather armor, and their weapons are mostly short swords. Hmm... there are no archers."
Miley reported truthfully while observing through the telescope.
"I estimate that this is just a ragtag group of old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, used to initially test the defensive strength of our Tianheng Mountain."
Upon hearing Mi Lai's report, Luo Xue immediately guessed the enemy's true intention in attacking Tianheng Mountain.
"What are you going to do?"
As the enemy's march drew ever closer, Milei and the Asura archers behind him began to reflexively draw their heavy bows.
"How? By playing dumb to catch the tiger!"
Luo Xue used a term she had learned from Lan Tian.
"Since the cautious Ocean Alliance wants to test our strength, let them test us to their heart's content!"
After speaking, Luo Xue raised her hand and made a tactical gesture to the Shura archers who were waiting in battle on Tianheng Mountain above, indicating that they should remain in place.
"I will lead a thousand Spartan guards to form a shield wall to block the attack. Everyone else, conceal yourselves and remember not to reveal our true number of soldiers and our firepower!"
Luo Xue arrived in front of the shield wall formation at the gap in Tianheng Mountain. Looking at the approaching enemies below, she firmly planted the end of her spear on the ground.
"Come on! Let me show you what true equipment superiority looks like!"
