Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

The addition of the Asura Guardians shifted the balance of power on the battlefield back towards Gui Xiuli's side.

Without any heavy weapons, Alliance soldiers would find it difficult to break through the heavy armor and shields of the Asura Guardians with only their spears or longswords.

Aside from the difference in equipment, the tactical coordination between pairs of Shura Guards or Shura Knights in terms of combat skills is incomparable to the chaotic individual fighting of Alliance soldiers.

In direct combat, Alliance soldiers would often have their spears blocked by the heavy shields of the Shura Guardians, only to be attacked by Shura Knights behind the Shura Guardians who would seize the opportunity to strike them with their swords.

Even if the water elemental armor on their bodies managed to block a strike from the Asura Knight, the next thing the Alliance soldiers would face was either a heavy shield slam from an Asura Guardian or a claw attack from a Knight.

The Asura Guardians' formidable strength and heavy Asura shields allow them to send Alliance soldiers flying two to three meters backward with a single shield slam.

Even if the Alliance soldiers escaped injury thanks to the protection of their armor, armor is not invincible; the internal impact of a blunt weapon striking the armor is enough to cause them serious damage.

If a soldier's limbs or torso are pinned down by the claws on the Ranger's arms, the Alliance soldier will not only be pulled to the ground on the spot, but the Ranger will also take away his weapon, leaving him in a disadvantageous situation of being unarmed.

Once knocked down, unless there is timely help and delay from nearby comrades, the fallen Alliance soldier will soon die under the spears of the Asura Guards or the swords of the Rangers.

Even without the tactical support of the Shura Knights, the Shura Guards could withstand the combined attack of the three Alliance soldiers with their superior equipment and excellent combat skills, and even dominate the fight.

This was a complete crushing defeat of light infantry by heavy infantry!

"Shield wall! Advance step by step!"

After sweeping away three Alliance soldiers who surrounded him with a single spear thrust, Fu She shouted to the Shura Guards around him.

"Soldiers, form ranks with me!"

At the command of the Guardian Knight Commander, his Shura Guards formed shield walls in platoons and began to advance the battle line.

Under the Shura Guardians' shield wall tactics, which combined offense and defense, the Ocean Alliance soldiers, who had initially advanced two hundred meters towards the land, began to retreat steadily.

"Hold on, push them back to the shoreline!"

While relying on the shield wall to attack the approaching enemies, Fushe encouraged them.

"Watch out, enemy reinforcements are coming!"

Behind her, Love, who had just dragged a wounded Ranger to a pit to settle him, subconsciously looked up and saw the second wave of sea monsters and transport ships breaking through the Returning Machine's firepower and beginning to land sporadically along the coastline.

"Understood! Everyone, halt! Prepare for the attack!"

Reminded by Love, Fushe naturally looked up and noticed that enemy reinforcements had arrived at the beach, so he reminded the Shura Guards to prepare for the attack.

"Quick! Follow behind the sea monsters and fight them back!"

Seeing their reinforcements finally arrive, the Ocean Alliance members, who had been greatly discouraged, were instantly invigorated and quickly organized the remaining soldiers to join the landing force in a counterattack.

Roar!

The sea monsters, having struggled to land, roared as they charged toward the shield wall, seemingly venting their frustration from being passively attacked in the sea on the soldiers and boats before them.

"Riders! Offensive grenades!"

After properly caring for the wounded in the rear, Love got up and returned to the battlefield, while calling out to the rangers who were still able to fight.

"Grenades are ready!"

Upon hearing this, the Rangers behind the shield wall pulled out offensive grenades and stood ready for battle.

"Guards, stick close to your comrades, prepare for defense, and be careful not to be accidentally injured by friendly fire!"

Seeing that the knights were preparing to detonate their grenades, Fushe hurriedly ordered his guards to move closer together to prevent shrapnel from penetrating the gaps between the shield walls and injuring his own men.

Even though we know that we are using a less powerful offensive grenade, we should still take the necessary defensive measures and not take any chances!

"On my command! Three!"

Love, who had already arrived behind the shield wall, estimated the distance between the two sides, slid to a stop, and then took out a grenade from her body.

"Eighty meters!"

Fushe glanced back at Luo Fu, and together they began to report the enemy's distance with perfect understanding.

"two!"

Love and all her knights had their fingers on the pull ring of the lead.

"Fifty meters! Very close!"

Fushe turned and roared at Luo Fu.

"One! Hand grenade throw!"

Love roared and pulled the pin on a grenade, throwing it first towards the shield wall.

"Here's a reward for you! Catch it!"

A knight commander roared and threw the weapon after him.

In an instant, dozens of offensive grenades rained down on the sea monsters and Alliance soldiers.

"Oh no! Stop right now! Hurry!!"

Some of the Alliance's dependents or soldiers in the front row spotted the dangerous object whistling through the air and were terrified. They quickly called to their companions to take cover.

But once the charge begins, there is virtually no possibility of stopping.

In an instant, the fleeing Alliance soldiers collided with their charging comrades, creating chaos.

The chaos had barely begun for seconds when the grenades started.

A series of explosions rang out among the sea monsters and the crowd, and flames and thick smoke instantly filled the entire battlefield.

The shrapnel and shockwaves scattered in all directions began to roar like the Grim Reaper.

The charging sea creatures were thrown about by the blast wave and were knocked to the ground.

Many sea creatures were blasted and suffered wounds, letting out painful roars.

The Alliance soldiers were also scattered and killed; some were thrown away by the shockwave, while others were injured by shrapnel and fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Love drew her sword and shouted:

"Soldiers! Charge with me!"

"Come on!"

The Asura Knights roared in unison, mimicking Love's movements like tigers. Using the shoulders of the Asura Guards in front of them, they leaped off the shield wall and used the momentum to plunge their blades into the bodies of the sea monsters below.

"Let's go together! Don't let the brothers be looked down upon!"

Fushe led his knights into the enemy ranks, and then jumped over the shield wall, shouting to the guards behind him.

"Asura is with you!"

Upon hearing this, the Asura Guards roared and raised their shields, brandishing their spears, and charged forward.

The soldiers, like a sharp blade, plunged fiercely into the Allied soldiers' formation, tearing through their defenses.

The Ocean Alliance soldiers were caught off guard by the sudden attack of the offensive grenades, and the counterattack by Love and others caused their already broken formation to collapse even further.

The wounded sea beasts gradually fell on the battlefield as the Asura Guards and Rangers finished them off.

In the fierce battle, Gui Xiuli's advantage became increasingly obvious.

The Allied soldiers began to retreat in disarray, with some even fleeing towards the coastline.

Seeing this scene from a distance above the seawall, Gui Zhong couldn't help but smile.

"Soldiers! One o'clock! Attack their reinforcements! Cover our soldiers' retreat from the coastline!"

Gui Zhong observed that the Ocean Alliance had sent another batch of warships to provide support from the rear, so he ordered the Gui Zhong machines on the defensive line to prepare.
