Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

“If we hadn’t taken Ruoduo’s side, my old friend probably would have beaten him half to death.”

Upon hearing Morax's words, Heureia and Hailan Bihai immediately became restless.

Heureia hurriedly put Fucarus down from her arms and grabbed Morax's arm urgently, saying:

"What should we do? The three of us aren't confident we can stop the rampaging Lantian. Are we just going to watch Ruoduo get beaten up so badly?"

Hailan chimed in from the side:

"I think so too. Even if my sister and I rushed at him together, we wouldn't be confident we could protect Ruoduo."

"Sister, do you think it's possible that Lantian might gang up on us too?"

Remembering Lan Tian's face, which had just turned as black as the bottom of a pot, Bi Hai couldn't help but hug Hai Lan's arm in fear.

Morax, seeing Bi Hai's frightened expression, couldn't help but smile slightly, and shook his head, saying:

“From what I know, my old friend wouldn’t do that. He always distinguishes right from wrong and wouldn’t involve innocent people. At most, he’d just leave you aside. But you all know my old friend’s temper. Once he gets angry, no one can stop him except me and Miss Fukaros.”

Heuria and Hailan Bihai exchanged a glance and nodded hesitantly.

"In your opinion, Imolax, what should we do?"

Hailan nodded to Morax.

Morax stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then turned his gaze to Fucarus, who was picking up the envelope and examining it again:

"The most urgent thing for us is to figure out the cause and effect of the matter first."

Heurelia and the other two followed Morax's gaze to Fucaros, and all crowded around to read the contents.

After a while...

“Um… Senior Morax, Sister Heurea…”

Fucaros looked conflicted, glancing up at Morax and the others who had strange expressions on their faces, and weakly said:

"Should we... still help Senior Ruoduo?"

A silence followed in response to Fukalos.

"Morax?"

With mixed feelings, Heureia could only look to Morax for help.

Hailan and Bihai were also undecided and looked at Morax.

"Ah~"

Noticing their gazes, Morax remained silent for a moment before finally letting out a heavy sigh and saying helplessly:

"It can only be said that Ruoduo brought this upon himself, no wonder his old friend was angry..."

Morax gave his opinion with mixed feelings.

Meanwhile, at the Asura Palace...

A blue-clad figure clad in fiery red dragon armor descended menacingly from the sky, landing on the training grounds of the Shura Knights and creating a spiderweb-like crater.

Lan Tian's high-profile move immediately attracted the attention of all the Shura Knights and Ruo Tu who were competing against each other.

"Huh? It's Lantian! Why didn't you say anything... Ouch!"

Before Ruo Tuo could finish speaking, unaware of the impending doom, Lan Tian, ​​with a gloomy face, kicked him straight in the waist!

Under the watchful eyes of many prospective Asura Knights, Ruoduo was kicked from the training ground by Lantian and sent flying to the logistics warehouse a kilometer away.

Bang! Crash! Thud!

Ruoduo first smashed open the two tightly closed steel doors of the warehouse with overwhelming force, then slammed his back into a large boiler used for smelting ore in the center of the warehouse, and finally, using inertia, plunged headfirst into the boiler, making a rather dull metallic clang.

Clang!

Other items in the warehouse fell to the ground, turning the once orderly warehouse into a mess.

The two Shura Guards from the logistics department, who were guarding the warehouse at the door, stared blankly at each other for a while before they came to their senses and belatedly looked at the mess inside the warehouse.

From their perspective, they only saw a golden afterimage flash past them before the warehouse door was smashed open.

"Soldiers, stay at your posts."

Before the two could go inside to check, Lan Tian's somewhat cold voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

"Yes, Lord Shura!"

The two Asura Guards instinctively straightened up and responded in unison.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the two men, Lan Tian walked slowly into the warehouse with a gloomy face, kicked over the tall boiler, and Ruo Tuo, who was dizzy from the fall, rolled out.

Then, Lan Tian stepped forward, grabbed one of Ruo Tuo's dragon horns, lifted him up, and dragged him back.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Blue Sky, could you please stop pulling my leg?"

When Ruo Tuo came to his senses, the pulling sensation from one of the dragon horns on his head made him howl in pain, and he subconsciously slapped Lan Tian's arm.

But Lantian remained gloomy, ignoring Ruoduo's cries, and silently dragged Ruoduo forward as if he were pulling a wild boar.

After being forcibly dragged for a kilometer, under the dumbfounded gazes of the prospective Asura Knights, Lan Tian threw Ruo Tuo to the ground, stomped on his round buttocks, and said with a gloomy face:

"Ruo Tuo, I have no objection to you wanting to train troops, but who told you to train them like this? Look at the state of the 30,000 prospective Asura Knights under your command!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Tian pulled out the Flaming Dragon Battle Axe, which he hadn't used in a long time, and slammed the axe tip heavily onto the ground in front of Ruo Tuo. He turned to look at the group of dumbfounded prospective Asura Knights and roared:

"All prospective Asura Knights, assemble!"

On the training ground, the 30,000 prospective Asura Knights, who were originally standing in twos and threes, were jolted by Lan Tian's roar and quickly assembled into six legion-sized formations of 5,000 men each.

From this angle, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but Lan Tian's expression did not improve at all.

"Attention! Left turn!"

Lan Tian crossed his arms and gave the order with a gloomy face.

Whoosh! Clang!

Thirty thousand prepared Asura Knights completed their turns and leg-bending movements in perfect unison.

So far there haven't been any major problems, but when Lantian ordered them to march in unison, problems suddenly arose.

"Forward!"

clatter! clatter! clatter! clatter!

Despite having mentally prepared herself on the way here, Lantian was still so enraged by the outrageous scene before her that she was on the verge of exploding with anger.

"You &%$@ (Teyvat national treasure)! Roda! Look what you've done! Is this what you call an army? Are you trying to fob us off like beggars?! Who taught you this zigzagging marching formation?! Huh?"

Lan Tian's lips twitched violently as he pointed at the 30,000 prospective Asura Knights who were forming a turning formation in front of him and roared at Ruo Tuo at his feet.

The key point is that, even if they were moving in unison, it's absurd that the six legions, totaling 30,000 men, could still maintain the same rhythm and pace.

"What are you waiting for?! Everyone, stand still and turn right!!"

Amidst the roar of the sky, which could be heard throughout half of the Asura Palace, the 30,000 prospective Asura Knights stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with confusion, and turned to the right.

After everyone had taken their positions, Lan Tian, ​​his face dark, dragged Ruo Tuo to the front of the formation and threw him to the ground.

"Ooh!"

As Ruoduo's screams rang out, Lantian immediately began his lecturing:

"All prospective Asura Knights, listen up! Who taught you to march in formation like this? Don't you find it awkward? Huh?"

Under the imposing gaze of the blue sky, the vast training ground fell silent, as if chilled to the bone.

"No one's answering, is that it? Where are the Knight Commanders? All Knight Commanders, step forward and report!"

"report!"

As soon as Lan Tian finished speaking, the three thousand knights in the formation stepped forward simultaneously and responded in unison.

"Very good, it seems the Knight Commanders are all here. Not bad, no one is absent."

Snapped!

"Hey!"

Lan Tian casually stepped on Ruo Tuo's back as he tried to get up, forcing him to lie back down on the ground. He then unleashed his full aura and said:

"Within one minute, all knights commanders, line up in six rows before me, right face—all in formation!"

Da da da da da…

Amidst a flurry of footsteps, the three thousand Asura Knights in the formation swiftly assembled into six ranks before the blue sky, facing its oppressive aura.

"I'm asking you, who taught you to walk like this? And walking in a square formation with turns, doesn't it feel awkward?"

Lan Tian's serious gaze swept over the three thousand knight commanders in front of him. The knight commanders whose eyes fell upon him all had somewhat unsteady eyes, too guilty to meet Lan Tian's gaze.

Clearly, they also knew that marching in formation with the same steps was incorrect.

"report!"

After Lan Tian's gaze swept over the six rows in front of him for the second time, a knight commander in the second row on the right finally couldn't stand it any longer and looked up at Lan Tian to report.

"speak."

Lan Tian locked his gaze on the other person and said succinctly.

"Reporting to Lord Shura, it was Lord Ruoduo who instructed us to proceed this way, saying it looked novel, and he specifically instructed that it was you who gave the order."

The knight commander, sweating profusely, reported truthfully under the intense, oppressive gaze of the blue sky.

"You bastard Ruoduo!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Tian's eyes widened in anger, and he kicked Ruo Tuo in the buttocks.

"Oh ho ho!"

Ruoduo was kicked forward several meters on the ground and immediately let out a howl.

Among the formal Asura Knights who came from afar to watch the spectacle, some of the female knights blushed and turned their heads away shyly, or shrank behind their male companions.

"When did I ever give such an order? How dare you falsely convey my instructions and lead my army into this mess!"

Lan was so angry that his eyes were blazing with fury, and he was just short of chopping Ruo Tuo in half with an axe.

"And you lot, didn't you ever doubt whether this was my order or not?"

Seeing Lan Tian's sharp gaze sweep over him, the knight commander who had just spoken immediately broke out in a cold sweat and weakly said:

"But Lord Shura, didn't you say that there are no wrong commands, only wrong actions? The soldiers all think that marching like this is the correct way."

Hearing the Knight Commander say this, and seeing all the prospective Asura Knights nodding in agreement, Lan Tian slapped himself hard on the forehead, rubbing his forehead in exasperation.

At the same time, after forcefully stopping the car by his face, Ruoduo quickly struggled to his feet, shook the dust off his face, covered his backside with one hand, and looked at Lantian with a pitiful expression:

"Hey, Blue Sky, I've noticed the soldiers' training is getting too boring, I want to make it a bit more interesting..."

Lan Tian snorted coldly, withdrew his hand from his forehead, and suppressed his anger, saying:

"New ideas? This is ridiculous! Look at the state of the army now, what kind of discipline is this! Huh?"

Lan Tian raised his finger and pointed at the 30,000 prepared Asura Knights behind Ruo Tuo, his voice suddenly rising a notch:

"Let me see! The state of our soldiers now! Huh? Answer me! What kind of behavior is this!? Huh? Answer me!"

Lan Tian's sudden, abrupt change in tone startled everyone present, who instinctively turned to look at him.

"Why didn't you just follow the proper formation? You had to give me this huge ordeal, and even make us march in a square formation with the wrong steps. Do you think our soldiers don't have enough lives to live? Huh? Speak up! Are you trying to turn our soldiers into mountain bandits, into some kind of bandit king?"
