Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

"At the cost of destroying eight Returning Machines, wounding ninety-six Asura Archers, and killing six operators and twenty-two Asura Archers, we sank twenty-one large warships of the Ocean Alliance and more than two hundred transport ships of various sizes near the coast."

"On the main battlefield, at the cost of 749 wounded and 196 killed, the Ocean Alliance's landing force, consisting of more than 30,000 people and about 6,000 sea monsters, was defeated and annihilated, and more than 1,000 people were captured."

Guixiu was located above the inner city, inside a courtyard house.

Upon receiving the frontline battle report from the Asura Guards, Lan Tian glanced at it briefly and then read it aloud, word by word, to the four gods and one of their attendants present.

"The soldiers of the Asura Hall have fought with the same spirit as our Guixiu people, so there should be some peace and quiet for a while."

After hearing the battle report, Morax nodded with admiration.

"We won with fewer troops? Really?!"

Bi Hai took the battle report from Lan Tian's hand with some disbelief and looked down to read it.

"Don't doubt your ears, this is the result of the soldiers risking their lives."

Blue Sky patted Blue Sea on the head, signaling it to calm down.

"What about the other two lines of defense?"

Hailan pondered for a moment, then pointed to the left and right wings of the seawall on the sand table.

"The other two lines of defense are still engaged in combat, and we are unaware of their whereabouts at the moment."

Lan Tian shook his head at Hai Lan.

"With Jin Peng and his men here, and the other two lines of defense being feints, we should have results soon."

Morax explained to Hailan in a calm tone.

"Brother, what about Sister Luo Xue and the others?"

Fucarus, sitting obediently on Heureia's lap, asked while eating a small cake.

"Luo Xue and the others? At this time, Maxius should have arrived by now."

As he spoke, Lan Tian turned his gaze to the location of Tianheng Mountain on the sand table.

Meanwhile, at the Tianheng Mountain defense line.

"Marcus, are you done yet?"

On Tianheng Mountain, Mi Lai helped pour the pre-cut potato shreds into the pot while asking questions.

"Almost there! Don't worry, it'll be delicious and visually appealing!"

Due to limited conditions at the front, Maxius cooked while firmly stationary at a makeshift stove.

As Maxius's spatula flew across the pan, he kept stirring the tomato and potato shreds, enough for dozens of people, back and forth.

Not far away, the cooking team members who had come to the Tianheng Mountain defense line with Maxius were still carrying bags of fresh vegetables out of the tunnel.

Soon, enticing aromas of food filled the entire summit of Tianheng Mountain.

Meanwhile, down the mountain...

“Come on, pile these corpses up here to form a wall of flesh, so that their cavalry will be unable to break through our Tianheng Mountain defense line.”

After successfully repelling two more waves of enemy heavy cavalry charges, Luo Xue suddenly had a flash of inspiration when she saw the narrow cliff passage in front of her, which was already covered with a large number of corpses and blood. She quickly gathered several hundred Spartan guards and together they piled up the bodies of the thousands of Alliance cavalrymen who had just been killed on the cliff passage, which was less than twenty meters wide.

The other Spartan guards returned to the foot of Mount Tianheng to help their cooking crew unload supplies from the wagons.

"Wow, so much meat! Now we can finally have some real meat!"

A Spartan guard rubbed his hands together excitedly as he looked at the mountain of bundles of animal meat piled up before him.

"What are you thinking! These haven't been cooked yet, you can't eat them."

A Shura Knight from the cooking team next to him put down a bundle of beast meat with annoyance and patted him on the shoulder from behind.

"Also, there are still a few baskets of vegetables left on the truck. Hurry up and help the brothers out."

"Ah, it's coming."

The Spartan guard gave an embarrassed smile and hurriedly ran over to help unload the cargo.

Just then, thick smoke billowed from the mountain road in the distance, accompanied by the heavy sound of horses' hooves.

"Attention everyone! Enemy heavily armored monster cavalry are attacking!"

On one side of the mountain, the Asura archer, who was secretly keeping watch, shouted.

Standing amidst a wall of flesh formed by countless corpses, Luo Xue turned her head upon hearing this, quickly donned her signature ice-blue Yaksha mask, picked up the ice-blue spear from her back, and shouted loudly behind her:

"Spartans! Form defensive formation, prepare for battle!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Xue took the lead and jumped down from the wall of flesh to the cleared ground in front of her, raising her shield to meet the enemy.

"Asura is with you!"

The hundreds of Spartan guards nearby immediately went into battle mode, leaping off the human wall and forming shield walls with Luo Xue at the front, ready for battle.

A minute later, as the Ocean Alliance's heavily armored monster cavalry began climbing the cliff path and approaching the Tianheng Mountain defense line, Luo Xue silently counted a few seconds before turning her head and shouting towards the right side of the mountain:

"Milai! Throw offensive grenades!"

"Understood! Throw the grenade!"

Just then, Milai, who had just led the team, and several hundred Asura archers rose from behind the bushes on the right cliff, pulled the pins on their offensive grenades, and threw them down at the demon cavalry that were constantly approaching Luo Xue and the others.

"Everyone, defensive stance! Watch out for friendly fire!"

Below, Luo Xue and the Spartans quickly crouched down, raising their shields to hide their entire bodies behind the heavy shields, avoiding being accidentally injured by shrapnel from their own exploding grenades.

Bang bang bang!

As a barrage of offensive grenades exploded at their feet or above them, shrapnel scattered with the spreading shockwaves, mercilessly reaping the lives of nearby monsters and the heavily armored cavalrymen straddling them.

In an instant, the cavalrymen charging at the front were blown off their feet and fell heavily to the ground.

Meanwhile, the monster cavalrymen who were outside the range of the shockwave were caught off guard and, unable to rein in their horses, were tripped by their own fallen monsters or heavy cavalrymen, falling one after another.

Taking advantage of the interruption to the opponent's charge, Luo Xue sheathed her spear, stood up, and drew the Spartan cleaver hanging at her side:

"Spartans! Charge with me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Xue rushed out first, slashing open the vital parts of a fallen monster with one stroke, and then piercing the neck of a cavalryman.

Blood splattered across the earth.

"kill--!"

The Spartans followed closely behind, brandishing their spears or swords and charging into the chaotic enemy ranks.

Caught completely off guard, the monster cavalry were forced to abandon their mounts and instead take up their swords to engage in brutal hand-to-hand combat with the formidable Spartan guards.

The shouts of battle from both sides instantly reverberated throughout the cliffside passage.

"Archers! Cover the Spartans' attack! Watch out for friendly fire!"

On the cliff, Milei pierced the head of a cavalryman behind Luo Xue who was attempting to rise and launch a sneak attack, and then gave the order.

"Covering fire!"

The Asura archers nodded and began to fire their precise shots.

An hour later, after a fierce battle, the enemy suffered heavy casualties and was forced to abandon hundreds more corpses and flee Tianheng Mountain.

The Tianheng Mountain defense line has been held once again.

"Thank you for your support, Mila."

Luo Xue, whose Shura General armor was almost covered in blood, picked up the token at her waist with a blood-soaked gauntlet and thanked Mi Lai, who had already put some distance between them.

"You're welcome. You've been fighting on the front lines these past few days. You're the one who's been working the hardest among us."

Mi Lai's concerned voice came from the token in Luo Xue's hand.

A dozen minutes later, on the summit of Tianheng Mountain behind us.

Thanks to the superb culinary skills of Maxius and his team, a variety of delicious dishes, including shredded tomatoes and potatoes, were freshly prepared, packed into military lunchboxes, and distributed to every Spartan present.

After several days of hard work, the Spartans sat together in twos and threes, enjoying the hard-won food with their companions.

The Spartans, regardless of gender, all wore tired yet radiant smiles.
