Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

"Report! General Luo Xue, a force is approaching Tianheng Mountain!"

The next day at noon, one of the Asura archers responsible for keeping watch found Luo Xue, who was wiping her spear, and reported to her.

"Is there anything unusual about the other party?"

Luo Xue didn't even look up.

"The leaders were holding white flags and were not carrying any weapons; they were all slung over their backs."

The Asura Archer truthfully reported what he had observed.

"Let them come over, but remember to watch out for any pursuers following them."

"Order!"

Luo Xue casually selected a guard knight commander and had him lead a team to accompany the Asura Archer to receive the Alliance soldiers who had come to join them.

A short while later, more than a hundred Alliance soldiers, pale and emaciated, voluntarily surrendered their weapons and armor and, led by dozens of Spartan guards, came to Luo Xue, who had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing Luo Xue, the leaders exchanged glances, then stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for your generosity in taking us in, General. Since we have decided to come here, we have no other intentions! We do not ask that you treat us with courtesy, we only ask that we beg for food!"

The hundreds of people behind them also shouted in unison:

"We don't ask to be treated with courtesy, we just want to be able to eat!"

Despite the other party's deliberate attempt to conceal it, Luo Xue and the Spartan guards around her could still hear the weakness in his voice.

Clearly, this group of people genuinely couldn't stand the constant hunger.

"Get up. Our Asura Palace doesn't have so many complicated rituals."

To show politeness, Luo Xue gestured for them to stand up, then removed the Yaksha mask from her face and nodded slightly to the soldiers.

Upon hearing Luo Xue's clear and cool voice, the soldiers were stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked up. Luo Xue's beautiful face, which was both cool and heroic, immediately came into view.

"This this……"

When the soldiers saw Luo Xue's true face, they all stared in astonishment, their faces filled with amazement.

On their way here, these soldiers had inquired with the Spartan guards escorting them and naturally learned that the fully armed general in front of them was one of the two Asura generals.

Although they were curious about the presence of several women among the Spartan guards escorting them, they were clearly surprised to learn that the general who had led the army to hold off their massive attack for days was also a woman, and a young, beautiful, and spirited one at that.

After all, it was not uncommon for men in their hometown to have long hair tied in a ponytail or braid, which is why when they saw Luo Xue, their first instinct was that the person in front of them was a male general with a ponytail, rather than a female general.

After all, the Ocean Alliance does not recruit women, and its ideology is mainly based on male superiority and female inferiority. The women they see in the army are basically high-ranking officials whom they can only look up to.

"Everyone?"

Seeing the group of people staring blankly, Luo Xue crossed her arms and called out with a slightly teasing expression.

The leaders stared blankly for a while before snapping out of their daze upon hearing Luo Xue's voice, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"What a remarkable female general! We are all ashamed of our own inferiority!"

Despite this, these people couldn't help but feel worried.

Seemingly influenced by their own deity, the ocean goddess Kali's unpredictable and eccentric temperament has become deeply ingrained in the minds of the soldiers. Therefore, in their stereotypes, all the women they see in the army are like Kali, with unpredictable tempers.

Therefore, they all began to worry that Luo Xue in front of them was also a person with an unpredictable temper, and that their future days would probably not be easy.

But soon, Luo Xue's next actions proved that they were overthinking it.

Seeing that many of these people were becoming unsteady on their feet, looking as weak as if a gentle breeze could knock them over, Luo Xue gave an order to the Spartan guards in front of her:

"Gentlemen, take these surrendered soldiers to rest at the foot of Tianheng Mountain. Have the soldiers prepare some mixed grain bread and porridge for them to warm them up. The hot pot will have to wait a while before giving it to them."

"I will obey the general's orders!"

The Spartan guards in charge of escorting the group received their orders, saluted Luo Xue, and began leading the surrendered soldiers toward their companions who were having hot pot at the foot of Tianheng Mountain.

At this moment, an Alliance soldier hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage and asked:

"General, where will we stay next? It seems there's no room left for us to rest here."

Upon hearing this, the people around stopped and looked at Luo Xue.

Luo Xue smiled slightly and shook her head, saying:

"You need not worry. A caravan will come to pick you up and take you to Guixiu City for rest. Our Shura Hall has always treated prisoners well."

Upon hearing Luo Xue's words, surprise and gratitude flashed in the eyes of these Alliance soldiers, and their gazes shone brightly.

"Thank you for taking me in, General!"

They spoke in unison, their voices still weak, but with a newfound confidence.

Just then, a Shura archer wearing a ghillie suit rushed over and bowed to Luo Xue, saying:

"Reporting to General Luo Xue, a group of enemy troops has been spotted rapidly approaching from the foot of the mountain. They appear to be pursuing our soldiers, numbering around three hundred!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue's eyes sharpened, and she gave the order:

"Spartan Legion, 21st to 30th Companies, listen to my command! Enemy pursuers are attacking, follow me into battle!"

Luo Xue put on the Yaksha mask again, slung her spear over her shoulder, and after being twirled around with it a few times, she put the spear away and stood still, then rushed towards the fleshy wall at the foot of the mountain.

Behind her, the Spartan guards belonging to the 21st to 30th companies of the Spartan Legion quickly assembled into ranks, marching in unison past the escorting team on both sides, closely following Luo Xue's footsteps.

Upon arriving at the wall of flesh, Luo Xue immediately braced herself with her gun and performed a clean and nimble side somersault, gracefully flipping onto the wall with her gun still in her hand. Then, using the momentum, she executed a tactical roll to flip down from the wall.

After Luo Xue's figure disappeared from the wall of flesh, the surrendered Alliance soldiers finally came to their senses and gasped in astonishment at Luo Xue's series of high-difficulty moves.

"My goodness, is this even a human being capable of? Jumping up there in full heavy armor? And with a spear at the same time!"

Many Alliance soldiers subconsciously looked down at their hands, then at their comrades, and immediately hung their heads in dejection.

It's obvious that they wouldn't be able to execute such a clean and efficient series of movements.

"No need to look. This set of movements is only the most basic tactical movements in our eyes. General Luo Xue is the leader of our Spartan Legion and the deputy hall master of the Asura Hall. Her abilities are far more than this."

The captain of the guards leading the escort explained to them with a smile.

The Alliance soldiers listened with amazement and admiration in their eyes, while also asking themselves:

Who says women are inferior to men? Such a capable and courageous female general is far beyond the reach of us soldiers.

At this moment, Luo Xue had already engaged in combat with the hundreds of enemy soldiers who were pursuing her from behind the wall of flesh.

The cavalrymen, who had initially been startled by Luo Xue's appearance and reined in their demonic creatures to a halt, took a closer look and, upon discovering that only Luo Xue had come to stop them, burst into disdainful laughter:

"Look, brothers! One person dares to block our way. He's really not afraid of death! Hahaha!"

"Hey, judging by your figure, you're a girl. Nice figure! Come on, let the brothers pamper you!"

Several sharp-eyed individuals noticed Luo Xue's gender from her figure and began to flirt with her.

The others in the group also started to jeer, their tense expressions now replaced by contempt.

But soon, Luo Xue taught them a lesson with her hard power.

A cold smile appeared on Luo Xuenuo's lips. She decisively threw two defensive grenades into the air above the crowd, then quickly raised her shield and crouched down.

Boom!

At the precise timing calculated by Luo Xue, two defensive grenades exploded in the air above the crowd, creating a death zone with numerous shrapnel fragments that instantly felled a large number of people and monsters in the front row.

After two loud explosions, the enemy's shrill screams and the monster's terrified roars rang out.

"My ears! My ears!"

Even if some enemies were lucky enough to escape the shrapnel from the grenade's close-range explosion, the temporary tinnitus caused by the blast would still be enough to give them a hard time.

Before the fallen soldiers could recover, Luo Xue had already charged forward with her gun, firing one shot at each of the enemies who had been blown to the ground.

As for those few who had been the most sarcastic and teasing, Luo Xue directly used her second-in-command's heavy shield to smash their chests, causing them to slowly pass away in pain.

"Damn it! He's a master! Quick! Charge! Charge!"

The first cavalryman to recover quickly shouted to his comrades behind him, but when he turned around and looked ahead, his pupils shrank.

Before the cavalryman and his monster could react, Luo Xue, who was charging with her shield raised, crashed heavily into his left side.

Click!

Luo Xue's impact not only broke the cavalryman's left leg, but also knocked him and his horse off the cliff to the right.

"Do not--!"

Looking at Luo Xue's figure on the cliff, all the cavalryman could do was let out a cry of resentment as he fell.

"Quick! Before she—uh!"

Before one of the cavalrymen behind could finish speaking, the Spartan guards who arrived later threw a spear that pierced his chest and knocked him off the monster's back.

"Sparta! Attack!"

Luo Xue pointed her spear at the chaotic enemy behind her and shouted.

"Kill! Cover General Luo Xue!"

One of the guard knights on the flesh wall behind them hurled a long spear he was carrying on his back and roared.

"Kill!"

Several Spartan guards who followed closely behind also followed the example of the knight commander, taking the spears they carried from their backs and throwing them at the enemy with all their might.

Not far in front of Luo Xue, several cavalrymen charging towards her had their heads pierced by the spears thrown by the Spartan guards.

The monster, its head pierced by a spear, fell to the ground with a thud, and the cavalryman on its back was thrown off by the momentum and crashed heavily to the ground.

Before he could get up, Luo Xue stepped forward and shot him to his death.

As the figures of Spartan guards swept past from both sides, charging towards the chaotic enemy army in front of her, Luo Xue calmly pulled the tip of her spear from the corpses on the ground, flicked the still-uncongealed blood off the spear tip with a spear flourish, and then launched her own charge.

With the numerous corpses of their comrades scattered on the ground, the pursuing monster cavalry would slip and lose their fighting power as they charged.

Furthermore, their standard ring-pommel swords were unable to penetrate the heavy shields and armor of the Spartan guards, severely damaging their morale and causing them to lose heart.

"Retreat! Retreat! This is not an enemy we can handle!"

Another cavalry commander in the middle of the pursuing force saw his colleague fall in front of him, so he quickly took over command and raised his hand to give the order to retreat to his subordinates behind him.
