Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

咻咻咻～

Bang bang bang!

"Put down your weapons! Disarm and you will not be killed!"

Seeing that the reinforcements from the rear were being blocked by the firepower of the Returning Machine and would not be able to get through in a short time, the Alliance soldiers, who were surrounded by hundreds of Shura Guards with shields raised, looked at each other suspiciously.

Seeing the enemy's morale waning and some Alliance soldiers beginning to lay down their weapons and surrender, Love waved for the Rangers to clean up the battlefield, then continued to shout:

"Second warning: Lay down your weapons! Disarm and you will not be killed!"

"Put down your weapons! Disarm and you will not be killed!"

"Put down your weapons! Surrender and you will not be killed!"

The Asura Guards, forming a shield wall, echoed Love's call in unison.

Seeing that their soldiers were showing signs of surrendering, several allied family members mixed in with the crowd could no longer sit still.

These family members shouted loudly:

"Don't listen to them! We are warriors of the Alliance, how can we surrender to these executioners!"

"Do you want to be helpless and at their mercy?"

"You surrendered, but how can you face your families behind you?"

The Alliance soldiers, who had begun to waver, were roused to fight again after hearing these words, and they gripped their spears tightly.

Love frowned at this, and without warning, suddenly threw out several throwing knives.

Puff puff!

Hearing the sound of sharp blades cutting through flesh, the Alliance soldiers instinctively turned their heads and were terrified.

Love's throwing knives struck the faces of the Alliance members with deadly accuracy, the blades sinking into their heads through their eye sockets or foreheads, blood flowing rapidly from the wounds.

Those Alliance members who were trying to retreat back into the crowd were clearly not expected Love to make a sudden move. Before they could even compose themselves, they fell straight down on the blood-red sand at their feet, dying with their eyes wide open.

"Final warning: Lay down your weapons! Disarm and you will be spared! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

Love deliberately pulled a throwing knife from the armor on her left upper arm and tossed it, creating a strong sense of oppression against the blood-stained Yaksha Nuo mask.

The Alliance soldiers shuddered at the sight, their spines tingling. Some were so frightened by Love that they instinctively took a few steps back, while others collapsed to the ground on the spot.

"What? You want your faces to become targets for my throwing knives?"

A dangerous smile curved at the corner of Luo Fu Nuo's mouth as she deliberately softened her tone and uttered the most frightening sentence in the gentlest of words.

Love's underhanded tactics made her voice sound like the terrifying whispers of a demon from hell to these Alliance soldiers, sending chills down their spines and severely impacting their psychological defenses.

Seeing Love toss a throwing knife across from them, making a gesture as if she were about to throw one, the psychological defenses of some Alliance soldiers crumbled under the strain. Terrified, they dropped their spears, raised their hands in a desperate cry, and collapsed, shouting:

"I surrender! I surrender! Please don't throw the knife in my face!!"

This shout was like opening a floodgate; the other Alliance soldiers also threw down their weapons, knelt down, raised their hands in surrender, and begged for mercy.

Seeing that all the soldiers had surrendered, Love nodded in satisfaction, put the throwing knife back into her arm armor, waved for the Shura Guards to quickly step forward to collect their weapons, and gathered the surrendered soldiers together to take them back.

"Attention everyone! Enemy fleet is attacking! Retreat!"

Not far away, Fushe, who was helping the wounded soldiers with the wandering knight, caught a glimpse of another large fleet approaching on the distant sea. He turned around and waved to Love and the others.

"Everyone! Send a telepathic message and retreat back below the seawall!"

Love understood immediately and shouted loudly.

"Third Company, Second Platoon! Take the wounded and we're retreating!"

"understand!"

"Fifth Company, Fourth Platoon! Retreat with the bodies of our fallen soldiers! We cannot let our heroes be forgotten!"

"Yes!"

Knight commanders began to respond to Love's orders, calling upon their respective platoons and giving the order to retreat.

Soon, within ten minutes, the members of the First Ranger Legion and the 21st to 30th Companies of the Fourth Guards Legion, led by Love and Fushe, quickly withdrew from the battlefield and moved away from the coastline.

"Knight Commander, take stock of the casualties!"

Once back in a safe area, Love began organizing her knight commanders to tally the casualties.

Amidst the soldiers' resounding counts, more than ten minutes passed quietly.

"Report! General Love, the First Ranger Regiment was supposed to have 4,000 men, but only 3,412 are present. 475 are wounded to varying degrees, and 113 have been killed in action, including five knight commanders. Report complete!"

After the Ranger Knight Commander finished his report, the Guard Knight Commander of the Fourth Guard Legion followed suit and began his report.

"Report! General Love, the 21st to 30th companies of the 4th Guards Legion reported 1,500 men, but 1,143 men actually arrived. 274 men were wounded to varying degrees, and 83 men were killed in action, including three knight commanders. Report complete!"

Although they had already prepared themselves mentally, upon hearing such a detailed report of casualties, Love, Fushe, and the other knights who had gathered around all became grave.

The battlefield is cruel and merciless, something every Asura soldier understands from the moment they become a prospective Asura soldier. But witnessing so many familiar faces leave is still hard to accept.

"Alas... First, treat the wounded and properly send the fallen soldiers back to their homes. Heroes should not meet their end here."

After a moment of silence, Love took a deep breath, suppressing her grief, and gave instructions to the knight commander in front of her.

The knights nodded and quickly left to arrange for personnel to carry out the task.

At this moment, a Shura guard appeared beside Luo Fu and Fu She, reminding them:

"Generals, Lord Guizhong has observed that the enemy fleet seems to be lingering on the distant sea and does not intend to attack immediately."

Upon hearing this, Love and Fushe exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.

"It seems they've also given up, just like us."

Fu She speculated.

"However, they are not going to give up so easily."

Love looked up at the cracked, rickety section of the seawall, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"It is estimated that after withstanding another round of naval bombardment, this wall will have completed its mission."

Looking at the damaged section of the city wall, whose cracks had widened several times due to the impact of the tsunami, Fushe couldn't help but shake his head:

"This is its final destination, and also the meaning behind its birth in this way."

"However, what the Ocean Alliance could never have imagined was that after the seawall was breached, what awaited them next was our Asura Palace's Imperial Guard Legion and Iron Cavalry Legion."

Love turned to look behind her, at the Ocean Alliance fleet hovering on the horizon in the distance, and slowly removed the Yaksha mask splattered with the blood of sea beasts from her face.

"At that time, every step they take forward will come at a heavy cost in terms of casualties and losses!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Love clenched her fists, her gentle face, which resembled that of a lady from a prominent family, filled with solemnity.

She knew that the battles to come would be even bloodier and more brutal, and that demons might even join the fray.

But in order to protect the land behind them and the people of Guixiuli, she, the five Yakshas of Fushe, Guizhong, and every Thousand Rock Army or Shura soldier stationed with them on the seawall will never back down!
