Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Not to mention the soldiers stationed there.

Jiang Ming had anticipated the leak and that the enemy would know the coordinates of the Ocean Academy, but he hadn't expected that they would dare to attack the Ocean Academy with such a small force.

What do you think?

It would be better to save manpower and use it to protect the command post.

The enemy's command post was defended by only a little over a hundred men.

However, these hundred-odd troops are just regular forces. Considering that the enemy has already cooperated with the Fools, it cannot be ruled out that some Fools may be stationed at the enemy's command post to perform defensive duties.

Even so, Jiang Ming was already preparing to deploy a special forces team for a decapitation strike.

But we need to solve the immediate problem of the Coral Palace first.

The Coral Palace has only one guard platoon.

A platoon typically consists of only about thirty people.

Even with the enhanced setup at Coral Palace, including two machine guns, there are only forty men.

The force attacking the Coral Palace numbered three thousand.

Forty people against three thousand people—this is more than just a half-cooked meal; it's a completely raw, unprocessed meal.

Fortunately, there was only one road leading to the Coral Palace, and a rope bridge, which they could use to their advantage.

The bad news is that Coral Palace isn't very high up, so the enemy could easily organize a force to climb up and then attack from all sides, encircling Coral Palace.

Especially the Fools, whose troops are all elite, without a single weakling.

The Coral Palace is such a large area, and with a large number of enemy troops attacking from all directions, the forty guards were simply not enough to fill the gap.

"Turn on all the searchlights and fire red flares. Also, requesting reinforcements!"

Having learned of the enemy's battle plan, Jiang Ming reacted quickly and began to deploy his forces.

There is a rapid reaction force battalion stationed not far from Coral Palace, which is set up to deal with the emergency situation of Coral Palace being attacked. Under extreme circumstances, it can arrive at Coral Palace to provide support in a maximum of thirty minutes.

"Hey~"

A red signal flare rose into the sky and exploded.

Immediately following, another purple signal flare was fired.

In the pitch-black night sky, the light of the signal flare was incredibly bright and conspicuous.

People all over Haiji Island witnessed this scene.

"Red signal flare... enemy attack! Wake up, everyone! Be on high alert and prepare to respond to the attack!"

"Ding-ding-ding-"

Outside the industrial zone, sentries on guard duty immediately sounded the alarm upon seeing the red signal flare, waking up the sleeping soldiers.

For the rapid reaction forces surrounding the Coral Palace, the purple signal flares were what they needed to pay attention to.

A purple signal flare indicates that Coral Palace is under attack and urgently needs support.

"Everyone, discard all unnecessary baggage and equipment, carry only the necessary weapons and ammunition, and depart for Coral Palace in five minutes."

With the Coral Palace signaling, everyone within the Coral Palace control area was mobilized.

Coral Palace realized what was happening, which was not good news for the other side.

"boom!"

Ito slammed his fist on the table.

"Damn it, didn't you say you had solved the problem? Why is the other side still firing a signal flare?"

He knew all too well the speed of his troops' movement.

In such a short time, they must still be halfway there, making it impossible for them to have clashed with the Coral Palace.

The signal flare fired from Coral Palace must have been sent after receiving intelligence.

Nikolai, the Fool's envoy who was wearing a mask and following Ito to make communications, was no longer as nonchalant as he had been when he was pressuring Ito; instead, he was quite bewildered.

"That shouldn't be the case. Aksha is a seasoned, battle-hardened debt collector with extensive experience. I even sent a whole combat team to follow him. How could they have successfully delivered the message?"

He was equally baffled.

"You idiot!"

Ito couldn't help but start cursing.

That fool let in enemy spies to force him to act, but failed to capture them.

Now look what happened, things have gone awry.

Nikolai opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

At this moment, he felt just as flustered as Ito.

He probably really went too far.

According to the plan, they were supposed to launch a joint raid to take down Coral Palace and the industrial areas.

When Ito takes control of Umijima, the Fools will obtain industrial production equipment and related research data. In addition, they can also instigate a war between Umijima and the Shogunate, making it easier for them to test the new Evil Eye on a large scale and also allowing them to fish in troubled waters.

This arrangement was personally made by their Fools' Commander, Lord Sangokushi.

The more chaotic Inazuma becomes, the more advantageous it is for them.

but now……

No, it's alright, it doesn't matter.

It's simply that the Coral Palace made ample preparations.

In any case, whether it's a battlefield between the Sea God Army and the Shogunate Army, or a battlefield between the Sea God Army and the Sea God Army, it doesn't hinder the Evil Eye's test.

That was the only way he could console himself.

After all, the other two objectives seem a bit unrealistic.

Just think about the unpredictable and capricious nature of this legendary skirmisher...

That's it, I'm probably doomed.

No, that's not right. We can take another gamble.

At that moment, Nikolai felt as if he had grasped a lifeline.

"Tell your men to speed up. It will take them some time to react after receiving the information, especially to the Coral Palace. The rapid reaction force will take at least half an hour to get there. If we can seize this time, there is still hope of taking down the Coral Palace."

"Nonsense, do I need you to tell me?"

Ito had absolutely no good feelings towards Nicola, who had brought him countless troubles.

Due to the failure of the Nikolai Action Plan, the relationship between Itoh and Nikolai has quietly changed.

Previously, Nikolai held the initiative and had Ito under his control, but now the situation has reversed.

Ito summoned a messenger and began ordering the troops heading to the Coral Palace to speed up their journey.

------

"Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu..."

The first place where the fighting started was where Beidou and his group lived.

There's nothing we can do about it; it's the closest place.

At this moment, Sparrow personally took to the field, leading her personal guard squad and all available guard units to resist outside.

The Guards squad's weaponry is quite impressive, consisting entirely of automatic weapons and carrying a large number of grenades and other explosives, making their firepower extremely fierce.

However, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of enemies.

What does it mean to have three thousand attacking rebels?

Think back to your school days.

With 3,000 people, assuming 50 people per class, there could be about 60 classes.

In a small courtyard, there's not even enough room for everyone to stand during a flag-raising ceremony.

Now, all of these people are attacking this one point.

At first, the rebels didn't take it seriously and foolishly charged forward with their melee weapons.

Even a bolt-action rifle that fires one shot and pulls the lever once is far superior to cold weapons.

You're strong enough, or you have the Eye of God, or at the very least, an Evil Eye. But what about a bunch of mortals who dare to charge at the muzzle of a firearm?

They really don't know how to spell the word "death".

The first wave of rebels who charged forward were taught a lesson by various firearms, leaving behind a trail of corpses before obediently retreating.

But the rebels weren't stupid; they quickly figured it out and learned how to use the cover.

They were surrounded by a newly constructed urban area. Although no one lived there except for them, there were unfinished buildings everywhere that served as cover.

The rebels used the buildings to evade the guards' aim and bullets, and infiltrated the buildings to approach the guards.

Crossbows also began to appear on these buildings, firing at the guards.

In urban warfare, the threat posed by skilled soldiers wielding crossbows and rifles is not much different in terms of distance and terrain.

Most importantly, as the second wave of attacks unfolded, the guards discovered that the enemy seemed to have become stronger.

The number of people who can use elemental power has increased significantly, and the number of people with strong individual abilities has also begun to rise.

These more combat-capable rebels moved through the buildings, using cover to quickly approach the guards' positions, and even began using melee weapons to inflict casualties on the guards.

Their movement speed is also far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Retreat, all guards, retreat, move to the second position, away from the building."

Seeing that their already small numbers were beginning to suffer casualties, Sparrow ordered a retreat of the defensive line.

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Why are they fighting so fiercely? This is not in line with the fighting strength of the ordinary Sea God Army.

Even the Kaiji army, which was confronting the shogunate army on the front lines, was far inferior to these rebels in front of them.
