Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

shhhhhh!

Another volley of explosive crossbow bolts from the Returning Machine streaked across the beach, hitting almost all of the Ocean Alliance's front-line warships, either damaging or destroying them.

This also temporarily halted the barrage of artillery fire on the seawall defenses, meaning that at least until new warships were deployed, Love and the others on the beach no longer had to risk enemy fire to defend themselves.

But while the first round of naval fire was taking place, most of the Ocean Alliance's transport ships, under the cover of their own warships, had already landed on the beach along with the controlled sea monsters.

Roar! Hoho!

Once on the beach, the sea monsters roared and revealed their true forms.

This is a deep-sea monster that swims by paddling on its four limbs.

Its entire body has smooth, green skin, and its strong, powerful limbs have five purple claws at the front, each claw with purple webbed feet. It also has retractable purple dorsal fins on the outside of its limb joints and on its back.

They look somewhat like dragon lizards, but their size is at least the same as a medium-sized wooden boat, and their level of danger is far beyond that of a small dragon lizard!

These sea beasts, like the demon cavalry encountered at the Tianheng Mountain defense line, had ominous red eyes and looked extremely ferocious.

Some even went so far as to ram transport ships docked on the coastline without distinguishing between friend and foe when they came ashore, wantonly venting their anger.

Meanwhile, at the seawall defense line.

"Everyone, prepare your grenades!"

Braving enemy naval fire, Love and Fushe crawled one after the other to a foxhole in front of the tunnel, looking up to observe the direction of the coastline.

boom! boom! boom!

Water elemental projectiles would occasionally land around them, splashing large amounts of sand or water onto their backs.

"Damn it, this time they've learned their lesson and started using the warships' firepower to cover the landing."

As soon as Fushe popped his head out, he was splashed with sand in his face, so he retreated back into the foxhole, shook his head, and cursed.

"The Ocean Alliance's first landing attempt failed because they were tricked by a lack of intelligence, but that doesn't mean they were stupid."

After saying that, Love patted Fushe on the shoulder, then rolled over and lay face down, looking up to observe the coastline.

hoo hoo hoo!

Seeing the sea monsters opposite begin to roar and launch their first attack on the seawall, Love turned and shouted to the soldiers behind her.

Upon hearing this, the Shura Guards and Shura Knights, who were hiding in the tunnels to avoid the ship's cannons, took out the defensive grenades they were carrying, grabbed the pull ropes with their left hands, and stood ready for battle.

"The sea monster is still 200 meters away from us!"

The floating shelter, which has been observing the coastline, offered this reminder.

Boom!

The explosion from behind drew the attention of the people below.

"what happened?"

Fushe looked back out of curiosity and saw a plane on the seawall being shot down.

"That's our Terminal 17!"

Love, who was standing nearby, also witnessed this tragic scene, and her face under the Nuo mask immediately turned cold.

"We cannot let our soldiers sacrifice their lives in vain!"

Fushe gritted his teeth and looked back towards the coastline:

"The sea monster is still 100 meters away from us!"

"Hmph! No rush, the Asura Archers' arrow rain will soon be covering us."

Love snorted coldly, staring at the sea beasts that were roaring and charging towards them.

shhhhhh!

As soon as Love finished speaking, a dense rain of arrows began to fall from the seawall behind them, accompanied by the sonic boom of two volleys of crossbow bolts fired by Gui Zhongji.

Having discussed tactics together beforehand, Love and the others knew the areas where the Asura archers could cover with their arrow rain.

Therefore, the foxhole where the two are currently located is the closest point to the range of the arrow rain, so there is no need to worry about being accidentally injured by the Asura archers.

The Asura archers unleashed a rain of arrows, like black raindrops, densely falling towards the sea monster horde along the coastline.

Da da da da da!

Puff puff puff!

As the sounds of arrows hitting the ground and piercing flesh rang out, many sea creatures were hit by the arrows and let out painful roars. Some sea creatures were hit in vital areas and were laid down on the beach on the spot.

However, many sea monsters, riddled with arrows, continued to charge towards the seawall despite the rain of arrows, roaring wildly.

"Grenades, throw them! Let them have a taste!"

Seeing that the distance was about right, Love immediately shouted and, together with Fushe, threw the defensive grenades that had been detonated from the foxhole!

"Throw!"

Behind the two, thousands of Asura soldiers hidden in the tunnel followed closely behind, pulling the pins and throwing grenades!

Bang bang bang bang!

Seconds later, thousands of defensive grenades exploded above or around the swarm of sea monsters, and a dense barrage of shrapnel and steel balls poured out, instantly tearing apart most of the sea monsters' bodies and embedding themselves into their massive forms.

hoo hoo hoo!

The mournful howls of numerous sea monsters followed the explosions of grenades around them, creating the first deathly chorus on the battlefield along with the rain of arrows that rained down from the sky once again.

Since most of the grenades exploded in the air over the swarm of sea monsters, their kill radius and power reached the maximum achievable extent.

Therefore, the initial charge of the sea monster horde was abruptly halted by the widespread fragmentation damage caused by the airburst of numerous grenades.

The sea monsters were either dead or wounded, and many were blown to pieces on the spot, with limbs and fragments scattered everywhere. Large areas of the beach were covered with the blood of the monsters, turning it blood red.

This breathtaking scene not only stunned the Alliance regular army that had just established itself on the coastline, but also caused the Shura soldiers who threw grenades in the tunnel, as well as Xiao and others in the rear, to gasp in unison.

"Well done, soldiers! That's the effect we wanted!"

Seeing that almost all the charging sea monsters were taken down in an instant by the airburst of the defensive grenades, Love couldn't help but cheer loudly, leaving only the floating hull, whose chin was about to hit the ground, in a mess in the foxhole.

"This thing is so deadly!?"

After a long while, Fushe, who was witnessing the practical effect of a grenade for the first time, looked down at the defensive grenade tucked on his leg with an incredulous expression, and muttered to himself in a daze.

"Stop standing there, Fushe! None of Lord Shura's inventions are a burden!"

Taking advantage of her excitement, Love reached out and slapped Fushe on the back, forcefully pulling him back from his daze.

"Soldiers, charge! Before the enemy can mount a second assault, kill them all!"

Seeing the Alliance soldiers who were charging alongside the sea monsters stunned, Love stood up, drew her twin swords from her back, pointed them forward, and gave the order to attack!

"Kill them! Let these invaders see the fighting spirit of Gui Xiuli!"

Behind Love, a Ranger Knight Commander leaped out of the tunnel, drew his twin swords from his back, and roared. He then joined the Rangers around him, bypassing Love, and launched a counter-charge against the enemy.

At this very moment, the Ocean Alliance's vanguard warships on the sea were completely annihilated...
