Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

On October 17th, the Liyue and Mondstadt teams met to discuss the Great Missing Case.

In the end, both sides finalized a plan and climbed to the top of the canyon in person to find out the real cause before drawing any conclusions.

The sky and the earth were gloomy, with dark clouds covering the sky. Heavy rain poured down, washing everything in the world. There was also a howling strong wind, sweeping across the plains.

At the Dihuazhou Commandery, all the soldiers went into their tents to avoid the rain, but each of them looked outside from time to time, waiting for the messenger who might come so that they could set off at any time.

Inside the captain's tent, Captain Zilu and many captains of a thousand men frowned as they looked at the pouring rain, because it would be difficult to march in such weather.

"A whole day has passed and there is still no news." Someone said to himself.

Zilu warned: "Don't rely on luck."

They are the Qianyan Army, the Qianyan Army that protects their country and eradicates all evil. They must not allow any chance or uncertainty, as that would be a disaster.

During the waiting period, there might be brief conversations, but mostly there was silence, especially the younger captains like Su Ping, Xu Hongyi, etc., who said nothing and were on high alert.

At this time at Shimen, the commander-in-chief and the captain of the group personally led the team, forming a long queue on the vertical rock wall that seemed impossible to climb.

The reason was simple: the only place that had not been checked was the top of the canyon. They had dug deep into the ground at other locations but had not found any traces, so they had no choice but to climb up and explore.

Although this seems impossible, because it sounds unrealistic to move so many people to a mountain with vertical rock walls in one day.

Even for the well-equipped and professionally trained Thousand Rocks Army and the Knights of Favonius, it would take more than a day to climb the peak.

But this is very puzzling. Could it be that the traveling merchants and passers-by are physically stronger than the official armies of these two countries?

The truth can only be discovered by exploring it yourself.

Just when the rain finally showed signs of stopping, the troops from both sides had finally reached half of the way up. Tens of thousands of them stood on the top of the mountain, densely packed like rooted trees with upright postures.

The Grand Commander and the Grand Commander Ferga are both strong men. The former has white hair and the latter has slightly gray hair on his temples. They are no longer young.

"Captain Mond, I'll call you for now." The commander-in-chief said with a smile.

Falga crossed her arms and laughed, "Just say whatever comes to your mind. You look older than me, so can I call you brother?"

"Okay." The commander-in-chief nodded, then looked at a girl next to him and asked, "Is this the adjutant of the commander-in-chief?"

Falga explained: "That's right. Although this little girl is young, she is better than anyone else in handling affairs. She is even better than me."

The commander-in-chief agreed, "From what we just saw during the rock climbing, we can tell that he is very efficient and efficient. Given time, he will surely be a rare talent!"

The little girl had a delicate face and Mond's iconic long light blonde hair, which was tied up behind her head. She had straight legs and a tall figure.

She was wearing the light armor of the Knights, which was a silver dress with a shawl on her shoulders, indicating her identity as the deputy commander of the Knights of Favonius.

He has achieved great things at such a young age.

She was being looked at by the highest commanders of both sides at this moment. Her face was firm, and she immediately performed a clean and neat knight's salute and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"My name is Jean Gunhild, and as the vice-captain of the Knights of Favonius, I extend my most respectful greetings to His Excellency Kaiyangxing."

The commander-in-chief smiled kindly and amiably, and replied, "Hello, you are indeed a precious child."

Qin frowned slightly and continued, "Please don't be confused by the words of the Grand Commander. I still have a lot to learn."

Falga waved her hand and said, "Okay, little girl, you are just too restrained. Forget what I said. Even saints have endless lessons to learn, let alone us?"

Qin said yes, but said nothing more.

The Grand Commander became interested. "It seems that the Grand Commander has a good understanding of Liyue's culture."

Falga smiled awkwardly and said, "When Confucius was traveling to study, he would often come to Mondstadt. I followed him and watched and listened, and I learned a little bit."

"Oh?" The commander-in-chief asked with a smile, "Does the commander-in-chief know a private school student named Su Ping?"

Falga nodded heavily, "Of course I know him. I asked him for help before, but I don't know if he still remembers me."

The commander-in-chief said: "This child has a good memory. I think he remembers it. By the way, he is now my successor and a rare talent in the world!"

Ferga's eyes lit up. He actually had some information about this, but he had never been sure of it. Now he had finally received the accurate information, which came from the personal confirmation of his designated person.

The commander-in-chief then said: "The commander's adjutant is good, and Su Ping is also very good. In the future, these young people will build a better country and a better home."

"I have always believed so." Farga affirmed.

The two old men spoke in a manner that sounded vicissitudes of life, and it seemed as if they were entrusting their son to someone else's care. When Qin, who was still in her prime, heard that name, she remembered a nun with long burgundy hair who always kept that name on her lips.

It is rumored that Su Ping was a talented young man who wrote two poems at the age of seven and became famous in Liyue Harbor. Although he later fell into disgrace, he successfully fought back and transformed himself into the Thousand Rock Army. Later, he made rapid progress and defeated all enemies until he is now on the rise.

If this experience was not false, even Qin herself would feel admiration and think that she was someone who should be looked up to.

It's true that Qin is very outstanding, but in her eyes, she has a huge advantage because she was born into a knight family, so she has many shortcuts to work hard, such as a large number of famous teachers, knowledge, and the accumulation of resources, which have made her what she is today.

As for Su Ping, he seemed to be from a farming family, and apart from two years of private school, he had nothing else to offer. In comparison, it was obvious who was the favored one.

"I still need to work harder." Qin decided secretly.

In fact, if Su Ping knew about this, knowing that there was a very hardworking girl from an aristocratic family who took him as a comparison target and was striving for him, he would probably be in tears.

Because only he himself knows how extraordinary he is, a person like him who has lived a second life and has a strong affinity with immortals. He is far superior to his peers and even the older generation.

Comparing yourself with such heaven-defying beings like them is just asking for trouble, isn't it?

Qin's expression became more and more determined, as if she had made up her mind about something. The two old men beside her saw this and looked at each other in bewilderment.

The commander-in-chief looked puzzled.

Falga explained: "This child is already excellent and works much harder than others. I guess he is just competing with others."

The commander-in-chief chuckled and said, "Very good."

Falga nodded, "It's really good."

The commander-in-chief glanced at the little girl, but it seemed as if there was another figure present, which brought back his memories and made his heart tremble slightly.

The white-haired man withdrew his gaze and said slowly: "Grandmaster, knights of all genders can sign up and even serve in high positions. This is a system that has been in place since ancient times, right?"

Falga replied, "Indeed, the founder of the Knights of Favonius, Lady Vanessa, is a woman. She is strong and courageous, yet gentle. From then until now, she has been a leader that everyone admires!"

The commander-in-chief showed emotion on his face and said slowly, "This is very good."

He didn't say anything more, just four simple words to express the system he was optimistic about and the changes he might have thought of, but in the end he was helpless.

There has never been a female in the Liyue Qianyan Army from ancient times to the present, not even a single sergeant, let alone a general. On the one hand, the old site has not been changed, and on the other hand, the men of Liyue are indeed brave and can withstand disasters.

Liyue Harbor has been established for 3,700 years, and many systems have changed. Taking the essence of the past and discarding its dross has been the development concept in the past hundred years.

However, this recruitment system is as solid as a rock. Even if the current Kaiyang Star wants to change it, it will be extremely difficult.

There is actually another level involved here. The commander-in-chief also knows that most of the men in Liyue are strong and virile, and they want to be at the forefront of everything. If women are allowed to go into battle, it might dampen their ambitions and make them feel looked down upon.

The commander-in-chief sighed deeply. If the men of Liyue could stop thinking about handling things on their own and ask the women in their family for help, perhaps things could be changed.

But if that happens, the indomitable Qianyan Army will no longer be an invincible army, and will no longer have such supreme power. It will become a shame for men and the impact will be extremely huge.

While he was pondering the matter and still could not find a solution, most of the people from both sides had already arrived and could proceed to the next step.

Grand Commander Falga waved his hand and asked all the knights to gather and prepare to start the investigation.

This loud shout also brought the commander-in-chief back to his senses. He also made arrangements, asking all the Qianyan soldiers to gather and form a marching formation, ready to move forward.

The heavy rain gradually stopped, but the drizzle was still there, hitting the uniform yellow armor on one side, or the silver light armor on the other side. The soldiers looked solemn and majestic.

In everyone's eyes, the two old men are also the most powerful commanders here. They stand at the front of the team, one holding a gun and the other drawing a sword.

"Forward!"

Two loud shouts were heard, in unison, and at one command, everyone moved in unison.

There were no tall trees on the top of the canyon, but mostly short shrubs and a slightly undulating slope. It was muddy after being washed by heavy rain, so the team could not move forward very fast.

Falga held a sword in one hand, the three-foot-long blade flashing coldly in the rain, showing that this sword was extraordinary. His face was firm, and he said slowly: "It's a pity that the scout knights in the Knights Templar have been disbanded, otherwise we would have been able to get intelligence on the way."

The commander-in-chief waved his hand and said, "Mondstadt has scout knights, and Liyue has scouts who are good at exploring the way. Their eyesight and legs are both top-notch. There won't be any problems."

"Brother, I can feel a little relieved if you say that."

"Don't worry, just don't relax. If a big war breaks out, everyone will be fighting and you won't be able to take care of anything else. You can only save your own life first."

"It's natural, don't worry, brother."

"Captain, I understand!"
