Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

When Beidou didn't have the Eye of God, he could fight Haishan, the famous sea beast, to a draw. The moment he got the Eye of God, he could kill Haishan instantly. So how could these unknown sea beasts be Beidou's opponent?

Purple thunder rolled, loud noises rumbled, and then disappeared after a moment of brightness, taking away the giant beast that seemed as boundless as mountains and seas.

The battlefield in the East China Sea was temporarily calmed down.

……

In Liyue Harbor, the people went from being panicked at first to being slightly worried but not taking it too seriously now, all thanks to the sacrifices of the Thousand Rocks Army outside.

On the hillside of Tianheng Mountain, the seven stars who have been eating, drinking and sleeping here for three months have almost gotten used to the strong wind blowing in their faces, and the floating hair and clothes all the time.

Keqing practiced swordplay as usual every morning. She had practiced the same swordplay from the past until now, and every move was at her fingertips. However, the man who practiced with her with a gun could not even stand up now.

After finishing the swordplay, Keqing put away her sword and turned around to say, "If only you hadn't gone on that trip, I would have had another friend to practice with, and Liyue would have had another brave and skilled commander."

Su Ping said calmly: "It's no use talking about this now."

Keqing smiled bitterly, "Yeah, it's useless. Liyue... maybe we can't even save it. The promise of ensuring peace and prosperity for the country and the people is now just a mirage."

Su Ping closed his eyes and faced the purple-haired woman, and said slowly: "Yuhengxing has never been so negative before."

"People change. I'm old now, and I'm not as energetic as before. Now when I think about how I was so passionate back then, I impulsively went to someone else's store to conduct a secret visit. I really lacked follow-up safety measures."

"However, thanks to you, the tax evasion in Liyue has been greatly reduced."

"Commander-in-Chief Su initially cracked down on the arrogance of the civilian martial arts community, which is also admirable."

"It was just the old commander's whim that arranged for me to be in the spotlight. In fact, it would be the same no matter who replaced me. They are just a bunch of small fish and shrimps. Any one of them from the Qianyan Army would be enough to give them a hard time."

"But you still became the recognized warrior number one in Liyue. Men use you as a benchmark to strive for success, and girls in the boudoir regard you as their dream lover. Their mate selection criteria are completely based on you. Such an achievement is unprecedented..."

"But there will definitely be more capable people in the future. The new generation of Liyue is very powerful. Besides, isn't your Yuhengxing also famous in Liyue Harbor for your wind and thunder skills?"

"You mean the reputation that street vendors have for packing up their stuff and walking away when they hear that?"

"Isn't it? Evacuating vendors occupying public places is a trick that works every time. The Qianyan Army doesn't have to go to great lengths to get vendors to leave. It's simply a miracle."

"How could you insult me ​​like that?"

"Just tell the truth."

Keqing suddenly fell silent and looked quietly at the back of the wheelchair.

Su Ping stopped for some reason.

After a moment, Keqing looked strange and reminded, "Ningguang is here."

Su Ping said calmly: "I know."

Keqing raised her eyebrows and thought, why don't you go and coax her quickly? Chatting with you, a single woman like me, is violating the rules in the eyes of women who have been married for many years.

Su Ping said slowly: "It's okay. Being too cautious will only make you feel guilty. Besides, I'm like this in front of Sister Ningguang. What else can we do?"

Ningguang smiled and said, "That's right, but little brother has been getting more and more talkative lately."

"There has to be some purpose, that's what makes life interesting."

"Yeah, after all, you're right."

Keqing narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the scene she had seen many years ago, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.

They weren't quite old yet, but almost old.

……

In the fourth month, the monsters' attack was in full swing and much more terrifying than in the past. The troops on three sides of Liyue Harbor were defeated one after another and retreated directly to the bottom of the city wall, where they barely held on.

Starting from the fifth month of resisting the catastrophe, the Qianyan Army suffered particularly intense attacks. Almost with every breath, ten lives were lost underground, so they had to recruit civilians as soldiers and send them to the battlefield.

In the north, there were no longer any cavalry galloping around. The army had to rely on the infantry to hold its ground and the volleys of hundreds of replicas of the Return Machine to stop the advance of the monsters.

Under the cleansing of the war, people were very passionate and excited at first, but gradually they were left with numbness, empty eyes and a desperate mood.

Every day when I woke up, the first thing I did was to look outside the tent to see if all the monsters were dead and the war was over, but the result was always deeper despair.

It's been five months, why hasn't it been finished yet...

A soldier thought this before he died, and then his head was crushed to pieces, leaving no trace of his body.

In the tent of the military doctor in the camp, Bai Zhu, a green-haired doctor from Bubulu, was treating the soldiers who were exhausted from the long war. Most of the wounded soldiers here were like this, but he had never seen any soldiers who were bleeding or had broken legs or hands.

This is related to the battlefield. If your limbs are cut off in the middle of a group of monsters, unless you are born with supernatural powers, don't even think about escaping. You will only be killed by the monsters.

But just at dusk, Bai Zhu had just finished a whole day of seeing patients and was about to eat the slightly cold food beside him, when the tent door curtain was lifted and a wounded man covered in blood was carried in by two Qianyan soldiers.

After seeing what happened, Bai Zhu put down his chopsticks and the vegetable leaves that were caught in them, immediately stood up and put on the mask made of white cloth that Nan Zhangsheng had suggested, and went to check on the condition of the wounded.

After briefly asking one of the sergeants, I found out that this person was not from the front line, but a sergeant guarding the side. No wonder he was still alive.

After Bai Zhu sent the two soldiers away, he hung a sign saying "Do not enter" on the curtain, washed his hands with boiling hot water, and used a new basin to scald the tools and plates before starting the inspection.

At first glance, the wound looked like a broken left leg. After examination, it was found that three ribs were also broken, and the head was hit hard, causing intracranial hemorrhage. In addition, there were some skin injuries, not to mention. In short, the patient was covered with scars.

Bai Zhu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he used the anesthetic that Nan Zhangsheng had suggested to make to anesthetize the wounded man. Then he picked up the surgical tools that Nan Zhangsheng had mentioned and slowly started to work.

The white snake Changsheng hanging around his neck chuckled shrilly and said, "After so many days, finally someone decent has come."

Bai Zhu remained silent, moving his hands with full concentration.

After the operation was completed, Bai Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, called the soldiers outside the door, and told them that everything was fine and they just had to wait for the effect of the medicine to wear off.

The soldier thanked him profusely, took off his uniform and bowed repeatedly.

Bai Zhu waved his hands to refuse, and suddenly he heard a talking in his sleep. After listening carefully, he realized that it was a sentence spoken by a wounded soldier whose anesthetic had not yet worn off.

The wounded man's face changed, and after confirming that he heard the words again, he rushed out of the door.

"There are rock dragon lizards deep underground... All of our troops have been wiped out... News..."

……

Going back two hours, the northern flank defense line was suffering from a frenzied attack by monsters, with only one in ten infantry troops left and suffering heavy casualties.

At this moment, the earth shook, the ground sank, and a large canyon appeared, like a big mouth swallowing countless monsters and the Thousand Rocks Army.

It goes without saying that falling from such a bottomless height would mean certain death, but the soldiers had no time to grieve, because the roars coming from the canyon and the monsters remaining around forced them to fight.

"We must break out and bring back this news!" The captain who led the team said solemnly to the dozens of survivors.

So, the team of only dozens of people set off, facing the monsters that could not get across the Grand Canyon from afar, and fighting bloody battles with the monsters that remained on this side.

People keep dying...

The number of people in the team was getting smaller and smaller. The previous centurion was also dead, his head bitten off by the monster. There was also a person who was familiar to the last wounded person who escaped, a woman.

It seems that someone in that girl's family works in the Machinery Bureau. Now the city defense crossbows that provide great protection for the infantry are made possible by their family's contribution. Therefore, this girl with an ordinary appearance is actually very popular in the team, especially because she can choose not to go to the battlefield but still wants to take the risk.

She did not talk about any moral principles, nor did she speak in the name of serving the country and the people. Instead, she simply told a story, a somewhat clichéd story.

In that story, there was a girl who wanted to see the fireworks in the sky clearly during the Lantern Festival, so she begged a handsome uncle named Qian Yanjun to hold her in his arms while watching the fireworks.

The uncle from Qianyan Army agreed, and gently hugged the girl, who was only a few years old at the time, and watched the most gorgeous and beautiful fireworks in their lives.

From then on, the idea of ​​joining the army took root and became unstoppable.

The woman was caught by a rock-helmeted Hilichurl and smashed into a pulp with one punch. All her bones were broken. It was an extremely creepy and miserable scene.

Of the entire team, the only one who escaped was the wounded soldier, who was badly injured beyond recognition. This shows how cruel the battlefield was at that time.

……

Time goes back to the present. Bai Zhu sighed softly in the tent, and suddenly something came to his mind.

"There was never a good war, a bad peace..."

Who dares to say it’s wrong or not?

……

In the middle of the fifth month of the war, the northern battlefield also showed signs of collapse. However, if they retreated this time, the only things they would have to face the horde of monsters would be the immortal formations and the newly built city walls.

Such a buffer zone was too short and too unsafe, so an urgent order was sent from the shed on the mountainside where the Seven Stars lived to the battlefield in the north.

Content of the order: If we cannot hold on, the entire army will retreat into the city wall, use the explosion of the floating stone platform in the sky to cleanse the monsters on the ground, and then fight with human power.

Below the order, there were seven signatures and seven seals in a row.

In the general's tent of the northern camp, Xu Hongyi paced back and forth, blood dripping from his arms, but he didn't care.

None of the guards nearby dared to remind him or dissuade him, because they understood that once this mild-tempered general made up his mind about something, there would be no changing his mind no matter how hard they tried.

"Pass the order, the entire army retreat!"

Everyone took the order and went to do it, leaving only Xu Hongyi in the tent.

The general was still pacing back and forth, his lips moving, but no sound was heard. Only his solemn and serious expression made people feel that it was a very important matter.

He was muttering to himself a truth his father taught him.

"A scholar must be broad-minded and resolute, for the responsibility is heavy and the road ahead is long."
