Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Su Ping was stunned. He originally thought that the old woman who spoke like this must be the elder sister of the commander-in-chief. Adding the generals calling her "old sister", it was really hard to imagine this.

But the result?

The old woman's direct reply that she was not the commander-in-chief's sister made Su Ping extremely embarrassed. He wished he could take back what he had said, because he had only said the wrong thing a handful of times in his two lifetimes.

The old woman didn't wait for anything else and explained directly: "Gu Feng's sister died of illness when he was a member of the Qianyan Army. This is also a knot in his heart that he can never untie. As for him and I, we are just friends."

What else could Su Ping say? He had just accidentally misunderstood someone and now he kept agreeing.

"In short, this grand wish that he failed to fulfill is now handed over to you." There was a slight gleam in the old woman's eyes, and she was very optimistic about this young man.

Afterwards, the four generals took Su Ping and said that it was time to take the new commander-in-chief to take office. They said goodbye and prepared to return to the original headquarters.

Before leaving, the old woman looked at the young man and said, as if to herself, "You and Ningguang are doing great!"

This sentence, just as the literal meaning suggests, she is optimistic about these two young people, and at the same time, she respects the choices they make.

Because back then, he was unmarried and she was unmarried, and now, he is still unmarried and she is still unmarried, but the ending of their eternal separation cannot be changed or reversed.

These two people have dedicated their entire lives to Liyue, to the people of Liyue, and to this rare long-term peace and stability. He and she have no regrets and will never regret it.

……

Guiliyuan is vast and boundless, with an unshakable majesty in its desolate and sad silence. The heaven and earth here seem to be much wider than other areas.

Four generals, surrounded by their new commander, climbed up to the towering platform. To the sound of thundering drums and booming trumpets, they reached the highest point.

Su Ping was sitting at the front. He looked back at the four old men. They nodded slightly to him with a slight smile, and then returned to their serious expressions, because there were still many soldiers waiting eagerly in the audience.

"Commander-in-chief, please grant me the seal of succession." The general with a goatee looked at the young man and spoke in a low voice.

Su Ping turned back again, facing the table and the 80,000 defenders and new and old soldiers in the main camp who all had solemn expressions under the high platform. He spread his legs, strode, and walked straight forward.

With every step, he showed the aura of a great commander, walking like a dragon and a tiger. With every step, he showed the responsibility of the Qianyan Army without losing his manners. As a member of the Qianyan Army, he stood with his back straight and stomped the ground loudly, which was the most correct military step.

The table is square, with a seal wrapped in yellow cloth and the words "Qianyan" engraved on it. It is said that this is an artifact carved by the emperor himself. It has existed since the establishment of the Qianyan Group when it was transformed into the Qianyan Army, and has been passed down to this day.

Whether it was carved by the Emperor remains to be investigated, but this piece of stone does have a long history and has witnessed the development of Liyue from a small fishing village to the largest economic port in Teyvat today.

Su Ping grabbed the seal with his right hand. He felt nothing strange when he first touched it, just like a polished stone. But the next moment, he suddenly felt something different.

The majestic army in front of him, the lights of thousands of homes in Liyue, the well-being and prosperity of the people, and many other things flashed through Su Ping's mind, making the seal of command not very heavy, but also very heavy.

Is it a psychological reason?

Su Ping didn't know, but he was indeed overwhelmed with emotion. He had the urge to take the seal of command, order all the soldiers to assemble, ride across the land, and eliminate all the lawlessness.

After a moment, Su Ping raised one hand high. The ancient seal in his hand was still dim in the sunlight, and it was as solid as a rock and as strong as iron.

"See the Commander-in-Chief!"

The four generals each held up their seals, and rumbling sounds were heard.

"Meet the Commander-in-Chief!!"

Eighty thousand soldiers stood upright and stomped the ground with their spears. The terrifying sound instantly swept across the earth like rolling thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth, and it was incomparably magnificent.

At the same time, a golden light suddenly appeared in the sky above the headquarters, as if the heaven and earth were moved by the huge sound waves and brought down a strange phenomenon for this army.

After the golden light appeared in the sky, there was another strange change not far in front of the platform. Those were large characters written in the air. The strokes were firm and majestic, as if a real dragon were in the world.

Qianyan is immortal!

Just four words, but with a profound meaning, there is an indescribable majesty and grandeur emanating from those four words, infecting every member of the Qianyan Army present.

When all the soldiers were serious and silent, someone spoke up and revealed the origin of these four words that everyone agreed on. It was the general with a goatee.

"This is the oracle passed down by the Emperor. Throughout history, no more than ten commanders have received this treatment when they succeeded. Even the previous commander-in-chief has never received this treatment. It is very rare!"

Su Ping was speechless, looking at the four words. He felt that this matter was not that simple. After all, according to his vague memories from a long time ago, the commander-in-chief of the Qianyan Army who could receive the emperor's oracle were all people with extremely important contributions.

Those martyrs who deserve everyone's admiration, all of them led the Qianyan Army, traveled all over the country, and established tens of thousands of military exploits, and then ascended to the high platform to succeed, received oracles, and their names were recorded in history.

Su Ping’s achievements were certainly touching, but they were only about slaying monsters for a few years, fighting against countless rioting monsters alone, chasing down daring bandit groups, and being a glorified captain in a decisive battle.

These achievements sound great and are explosive at the moment, but if we consider them in the past, they were far from enough.

"Well... although we cannot judge the past with our current perspective, after all, many monsters in Liyue were slaughtered by our ancestors, but did the oracle involve any intervention from Master?"

Su Ping pondered over it and felt that this was most likely the case. As for the reason, perhaps the master loved his disciple so much that he came to ask for it?

After the ceremony, the commander went into the tent.

A general without a beard stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "The divine oracles handed down by the emperor throughout history are all given to famous generals. Although the commander-in-chief is young, his military exploits are also outstanding. It is not too surprising that this can happen!"

Su Ping said awkwardly: "I am ashamed of myself!"

"Hey, there's no need to be so modest and reserved. The commander-in-chief's strength and achievements are obvious to all. He can definitely live up to this oracle." The general with a goatee patted his chest and assured.

"Yes, he joined the army at the age of sixteen, and made great achievements at the age of twenty. Now he is the commander. Isn't there only one person who can be compared with him from ancient times to the present?"

The general's words were sincere and spoke the indisputable facts.

In the eyes of others, Su Ping is actually very young. It has only been a few days since the Lantern Festival, and he is only twenty-one years old. With such an age and such achievements, looking back at Liyue’s brilliant past history, it is difficult to find a third equally famous general.

In the past, there was General Huo, who led hundreds of elite cavalry to defeat tens of thousands of monsters and recaptured the lost land of Qingce Village. Today, there is Su Ping, who fights against tens of thousands of monsters alone and moves forward fearlessly.

Su Ping remained silent.

The general without a beard continued, "The commander-in-chief is new in office, so he probably doesn't fully understand the role of the commander's seal and the general's seal, as well as the allocation of positions for the various generals, right?

I am the general of Yu, in charge of the intelligence of the soldiers hunting monsters in Liyue, as well as the personnel replenishment arrangements. "

"My position is the General of Salary, responsible for logistics and recruiting soldiers." said the general with a goatee.

The bearded general said in a clear voice: "I am the general of the front, in charge of all matters concerning the garrison of the border troops."

Finally, the general who spoke in a rather literary manner said, "I am the general of the guards, in charge of the protection measures for the soldiers in Liyue Harbor. I am also stationed in the dark of the General Affairs Department day and night. Unless it is an important matter, I never leave without permission."

Each of the four generals holds a military seal and can mobilize 50,000 troops to leave their respective areas. They perform their duties, do not interfere with each other, and help each other.

The seal in Su Ping's hand can directly mobilize 100,000 troops. His daily job is to review and approve the important documents submitted by the four generals one by one. If there are any business matters that are too broad, he needs to go to the Seven Star Conference to discuss them.

One commander seal is for Qianyan, and four general seals are for Feng, Xin, Yu and Wei respectively. Only when all five seals are issued together can all the Qianyan troops be mobilized for collective transfer. Otherwise, the Qianyan soldiers will never move rashly.

This should be a military regulation established to prevent "feudal kings' rebellion" in a certain sense.

On his first day in office, Su Ping, with the help of four generals, just looked at each one and signed and stamped them. The whole process was simple but boring as it was just repeating the same thing.

Fortunately, Su Ping is a person who can endure loneliness. As long as this kind of work is truly beneficial and must be done, he will not find excuses to shirk it. He must fulfill his duties when he is in a position, and this is the fundamental thing.

So on this day, when Su Ping entered the camp, it was just noon, and when Su Ping left the camp, it was already the charming night. When he hurried back to Liyue Harbor, it might be late at night.

However, at night, Su Ping did not want to go home to sleep with his wife and children, but went outside Yujing Terrace to ask some questions.

Grandma Ping was not asleep. She knew that her disciple would definitely come to look for her, so she made a pot of hot tea and waited. The temperature was just right at this moment.

"Master." Su Ping asked politely, then briefly explained his purpose, "Master, please tell me clearly."

Grandma Ping said calmly: "My disciple, do you really think that you are not worthy of being the successor of the Oracle?"

Su Ping was not stupid, but he was very stubborn about this matter. He said frankly: "It's not that I am self-deprecating, but whether there is a reason for the master's intervention is very important!"

Grandma Ping said, "Is your disciple afraid that because of your master, you had to use a backdoor to get this oracle?"

Su Ping nodded heavily. If he got it by his own ability, then he should accept it calmly. But if he got it by pretending to be his master, then it was obvious that he was a second-generation rich man who was not worthy of his position.

A thought can make a world of difference.

Grandma Ping smiled and said, "Silly disciple, you are only young, but you have made so many achievements. How can you not be worthy of this oracle?"

Although he looked very young, he was actually fifty years old. However, he could not refute it because the old man in front of him was truly an old man with a very long life.

So, if we only look at Su Ping's life, then he did live an extraordinary life, but if we take into account the experience of his previous life, it would be a little less meaningful.
