Jiraiya's Heroic Stories: Genshin Impact
Chapter 400: Danger in Aru Village
This Aru Village has a kind of sadness that reminds us of the spring breeze that does not reach Yumen Pass. To the west is an endless sea of sand, full of chaos, barbarism and ignorance.
To the east is a high and mighty civilization that is blessed by the sacred tree and governed by the Court of Ecclesiastical Orders. However, the small village of Aru is a glimpse of civilization yet is located in the midst of an ignorant sea of sand.
Aru Village was just a poor, remote and impoverished place with a small population. The young and strong men with brains would try their best to go to Xumi City, while those with no brains but only strength would live in the vast desert as mercenaries on the edge of a knife.
Therefore, in this poor little village, there are only a few old people with yellow soil up to their necks, and children who know nothing about the outside world, and they are unkempt all day long.
No, there are still some young people like that. People call them mad scholars, just like what Tinari said before, scholars study to a certain extent.
They will retreat into the depths of the forest to meditate, as if trying to communicate with the gods. This is called the Wild Talking in the Forest period.
Most of them went crazy, and those who lost the ability to take care of themselves were often exiled by the top leaders of the Order Institute to Aru Village, the last good place in the desert.
During the Sunahara Dynasty, Aru Village was a place of exile for the feudal domain, and later it became a place of exile for scholars who had committed mistakes by the Yurin Church Institute.
But it's a bit ironic that this village is named after something that has a similar meaning to "paradise"...
But this desolate and barren village, which had experienced thousands of years of suffering, was now surrounded by a heavy army. The strong and bloodthirsty mercenaries in the desert had surrounded this village, which was so small that it could not be any smaller, and no one could get out.
It was like a huge iron barrel, and the old and young in the city were like crabs trapped in the barrel. All the struggles were meaningless, and they could only wait for others to boil water for them.
Despair hangs over this long-deserted village.
"Dear leader, we in Aru Village have nothing left. Really, please spare us!
Of course, we are old and don’t have much time left, so it doesn’t matter. But at least, at least give these kids a chance to live. Leave them something to eat!”
In a tent outside the village, an old man in his seventies was kneeling humbly in front of a middle-aged man in his early forties.
The man's skin was tanned, and every muscle on his body, as strong as a buffalo, was covered with knife wounds. It seemed that because of extreme anger, every vein in his body was throbbing visibly.
This actually made such an old man kneel down before him. He really wasn't afraid of shortening his life. Of course, perhaps this kind of statement only exists in Liyue.
Even if it exists in Mount Sumeru, it will never exist in this desert area where etiquette and laws have long been regarded as nothing.
"Let these children go? Hahaha! Then who can let my poor child go? My child is dead! Dead!" The middle-aged man roared ferociously.
It seems that this person is the king who dominates the entire desert - Mishal!
With a face like that of a lion, his teeth bared in anger, he swung his fist as big as a casserole at the old man on the ground without any sympathy.
A punch like this would kill an old man in his seventies, or even a young man who was strong and upright.
But when the iron fist fell, only a huge metallic knocking sound was heard.
"A woman?" Mishal stared at the woman with heterochromatic pupils with some doubt. And this woman actually used her slender figure to hold a copper shield to block his punch?
"Uncle Anpu, village chief, please stand up. Our village will only welcome those who abide by the rules in a friendly manner. Those who do not abide by the rules will be the "enemies" of me and Aru Village!"
Candice spoke the last two words slowly, word by word, with a hint of threat.
But how could Mishal, a ruthless man who has been in the bloodthirsty desert for thirty years, be fooled by a few threats?
"But...but, the village..." Uncle Amp, the village chief, stuttered. But while he was speaking, Candice still pulled him up from the ground forcefully.
"You are Candice, right? I've heard of your name. It seems that people often say that the terrifying "guardian" Candice in Aru Village is the true descendant of the Red King?
You can control every grain of sand in the desert to bury every enemy? But even the Eye of God is a gift from the God of Water, and you still dare to say that you can control the wind and sand! "
Mishal noticed the Eye of God hanging around Candice's waist, but the woman did not use the power of the Eye of God in the fight just now.
It turned out that he could fight against Mishale's strong body with just his physical body. Perhaps it was because of such a powerful guardian that Mishale did not recklessly attack Aru Village directly, but gave them a chance to negotiate.
Of course, one Candice is not enough. Another reason is those crazy scholars.
These lunatics abandoned by the Order of the Lord, although crazy, seem to have really made contact with a powerful god and possess extraordinary power. If you force a breakthrough, it will be a waste of time and suffer considerable losses.
"Candice, since you and I are both descendants of the Red King, as long as you lead everyone in Aru Village away, I can let the villagers go.
And as long as I succeed, the people in the desert will have a better living environment, and your life will be the same as before or even better. You must have had enough of the hard days of being oppressed by the Order House, right? "
Seeing that Mishale was willing to let go of the whole village, Uncle Anpu, the village chief, immediately knelt down again excitedly and kowtowed several times to the tall and strong Mishale, looking very grateful.
She even urged Candice, "Candice, please agree to it! This will save the lives of everyone in our village. There's no need to go against them!"
Mishal ignored the old village chief. Although the old man was the nominal ruler, everyone could see that the real person in charge was actually this young lady - Candice, the "guardian" of Aru Village.
A small village like Aru is valued so much. Candice certainly understands that the "Relics of the God King" is not concerned about the meager resources.
What they want is this piece of land and this food supply route! The food and grass must be sent before the troops move. If we really want to go to war with the Church, we will definitely fall into the vortex of a long-term war.
The desert was raging with sandstorms, making it difficult to transport food. There were only a few safe routes, and Aru Village was at the most critical hub.
Supplies can be stored in large quantities in Aru Village, then transferred to Kawanyi, and then transported from Kawanyi to various places.
Mishal understood this, or rather, the strategist behind the Legacy of the God-King understood this. The people of the Order must also understand this.
Similarly, Candice also understood that this was the best place to stop a total war! As long as they defended Aru Village and waited for the arrival of reinforcements from the Church, perhaps the war would end soon!
"Uncle Anpu, village chief, as the "guardian", of course I want to protect Aru Village. But what I want to protect is not Aru Village's past, but her future!"
