Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

"Wait a minute."

Luo Xue called out to the other person.

"Does the general have any further instructions?"

Sparta, who was about to receive his orders and return, quickly stopped and turned to look at Luo Xue.

"Just so you know, once the downpour stops, all Spartans, bring your grenades. It's time to give our opponents a shock!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

After watching the other person leave, Luo Xue put her Nuo mask back on and murmured to herself as she looked in the direction of the enemy camp in the distance:

"What follows is a long war of attrition..."

Looking up at the darkening sky, Luo Xue sighed softly. Just as she was about to return to Tianheng Mountain to rest, she caught a glimpse of the receding waves below the cliff, revealing a significant portion of the beach beneath.

"Low tide? What's going on? It's not the time of day when the tides are rising or falling..."

Luo Xue felt something was very wrong, as if something big was about to happen.

"Massive low tide...without any prior warning...Oh no! The seawall!"

Luo Xue thought about it carefully, and finally, combining it with what everyone had discussed at the meeting on the eve of the war, she immediately thought of a tsunami.

As if to verify Luo Xue's conjecture, as soon as Luo Xue turned her head to look in the direction of the seawall, she discovered a tsunami tens of meters high rushing towards the seawall with great force!

Time returns to the present.

"Is everyone alright?"

After holding out until the tsunami receded, Gui Zhong, disregarding his disheveled appearance soaked to the bone, casually shook his wet gray hair and stood up, shouting to those around him.

"We're alright, Lord Gui Zhong!"

The five members of Fushe were the first to respond to Guizhong.

"We're alright, Lord Gui Zhong!"

Love helped up one of the Thousand Rock soldiers beside her and waded through the water to Gui Zhong.

"Phew, I'm glad everyone's alright..."

When Gui finally saw that everyone on the defense line was safe and sound, without missing any limbs, the huge weight in his heart was lifted. He patted his chest with lingering fear, and the tension in his heart immediately eased.

Once the tense nerves relaxed, the aftereffects of consuming a large amount of divine power in a short period of time immediately came knocking on Gui Zhong's door.

The moment Gui Zhong realized what was happening, everything went black before her eyes. She instinctively clutched her forehead, and her body began to sway precariously, as if a mere breeze could easily knock her over.

"After all, my lord!"

Gui Zhong's unusual behavior was noticed first by Luo Fu, who immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing the commotion, Fu She and the others, who were originally going to help the soldiers, instinctively turned their heads and immediately felt a chill run down their spines:

"Finally!"

The group rushed over and, together with Luo Fu, helped the swaying Gui Zhong to a dry spot to sit and rest.

"Everyone, I'm fine. This is just a side effect of excessive consumption of divine power in a short period of time. I'll be fine after a rest."

Seeing the deep concern and worry on the faces before him, Gui finally paused, looked up at the group of people in front of him, and managed a weak smile.

"In the end, my lord..."

Fanan knelt down and reached out to take Guizhong's arm.

"You go and take stock of the damage to the defense line. Fanan and I will stay here to take care of Lord Guizhong."

Love looked around at the mess on the defensive line, then at the receding waves behind her, and spoke to the other four people besides Fanan.

"Fushe, I think we should prioritize the overall war situation at present."

Minu rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment, then patted Fushe on the shoulder.

“That makes sense. Then I’ll leave Lord Guizhong in your care.”

Fushe thought about it and agreed, so he nodded and led Mi Nu toward the left side of the defensive line.

"Vanan, Love, I'll entrust Lord Guizhong to you for the time being."

Yingdala took the two children's hands and, looking back every few steps, walked with Xiao towards the right side of the defensive line, beginning to help the soldiers along the way.

"Love, don't worry about me for now. Go check if the cracked areas of the seawall are about to collapse."

Gui Zhong was held firmly in his arms by Fa Nan, and after repeatedly refusing, he had no choice but to turn around and give orders to Luo Fu, who was half-squatting in front of him.

"This subordinate understands..."

Even though she was worried about the end, Luo Fu, who had the eight words "a soldier's duty is to obey orders" engraved in her bones, nodded and stood up.

"Go, Love, I'll take care of things here."

Fanan put his arm around Guizhong's shoulder and looked up to give Luo Fu a reassuring look.

"I beg you, Vanan, the Asura is with you."

Love nodded, shook hands with Fanan, then turned and led her general Nuo Mian away quickly toward the middle of the defensive line.

"Vanan, can you let go of me first? I'm not injured."

Gui Zhong, somewhat amused and exasperated, gently nudged Fan Nan's arm, speaking in a slightly awkward tone.

"I don't care, I don't care! You almost scared me to death just now! I can't feel at ease without holding you!"

Upon hearing this, Fa Nan paused in wiping the two's wet hair, immediately pouted, and began to wag her arms around Gui Zhong's delicate body, acting coquettishly.

Seeing that Gui Zhong seemed unwilling, Fa Nan had no choice but to use her trump card.

Fanan winked at Guizhong in a cute way, her big, watery blue eyes staring at him with an air of "I'll cry if you don't want me to."

Gui Zhong felt a surge of tenderness in his heart as he looked at Fanan's direct gaze, and could only smile helplessly as Fanan hugged him.

"Don't be silly, acting cute is shameful. Who taught you that?"

Gui Zhong's tone carried a hint of coquettishness.

"Hehe, of course it's Lord Blue Sky~ He said if he sees you putting on a brave face, this trick always works~"

Fa Nan playfully stuck out her tongue at Gui Zhong.

"You..."

Gui Zhong shook his head helplessly upon hearing this, and muttered a few complaints about Lan Tian in his heart.

[Blue Sky is really something... knowing full well that I can never handle people sticking their faces close to me and acting cute...]

Meanwhile, in the courtyard house.

Lan Tian, ​​who was studying strategies with Morax while looking at the sand table, suddenly felt a twitch in his right eyelid and instinctively raised his hand to press the twitching eyelid.

"Old friend, what's wrong?"

Lan Tian's unexpected action interrupted their conversation, and Morax turned to look at Lan Tian with some confusion.

"I'm fine, Morax. I suppose Gui is secretly talking about me."

Blue Sky smiled and shook his head, then turned to look at Heureia and the other two who were playing with Fukaros behind him. He then turned to Morax and said seriously:

"Morax, you can't handle Gui Zhong's unpredictable nature, so I spent some time finding something that Gui Zhong can't handle and gave Fanan a few pointers."

After saying that, Lan Tian winked at Morax with a hint of smugness.

"Hehehe, old friend, such behavior will surely lead to some resentment towards you behind your back."

Morax was immediately amused and then made a joke about Blue Sky in a calm tone.

"Let her keep complaining to herself. At worst, I'll have Fufu go and act cute with her; she's all for that."

Lan Tian waved his hand dismissively, adopting an attitude of complete indifference.

Let's turn our attention back to the seawall.

"Lord Guizhong, after taking stock, most of the soldiers are safe and sound. At most, some have suffered minor injuries. However, several Guizhong machines in the central area have malfunctioned. In addition, some military equipment boxes have been washed off the defensive line by the sea. I have already asked Love to arrange for people to rescue them."

Fu She and the others were the first to return to Gui Zhongshen's side and truthfully reported the situation they had discovered on the defense line to Fanan, who was being held in his arms.

"The losses are much lower than I expected, and the soldiers are all excellent."

Gui listened patiently to Fushe and the others' report, and nodded with some satisfaction.

"After all, my lord!"

Just then, Love arrived somewhat late in front of the group.

"Love? What's the situation with that cracked area?"

Gui Zhong deliberately let Luo Fu, who had rushed over, catch her breath before asking:

"Just as you predicted, the cracked areas of the defense line have partially collapsed and look like they are about to collapse."

Love truthfully reported what she had discovered.

"Furthermore, according to intelligence gathered by Shadow, the enemy has begun to organize its fleet in preparation for a second landing operation."

"Perfect timing! It's time to let our soldiers go out and stretch their muscles!"

Fu She, somewhat impatient, clashed his four fists together, his tone filled with desire and excitement for the battle.
