Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

There were too many of them, and too many of them were suspiciously strong.

Moreover, it is still unknown when the support troops will arrive.

She didn't even know if the main force knew about their situation or if they would come to their aid.

At present, if they insist on relying on their own guard force, they will probably be wiped out before reinforcements arrive.

no solution anymore.

"Okay, please follow our instructions and cooperate with our guards to minimize casualties."

Sparrow nodded in agreement.

"Hehe~"

Beidou smiled.

Although the situation has changed somewhat, based on her observations over such a long period of time...

Those who use unknown methods to improve themselves are nothing special.

It's simply that it's stronger, faster, has better recovery capabilities, and higher defense...

Hmm? The improvement seems pretty noticeable?

But that's about it; its strength is limited.

Today she's here to teach these lone wolves, who use some unknown stuff and then start frantically "assassinating" on the battlefield, a lesson.

In warfare, teamwork is essential!

Sparrow didn't have enough men, so he could only rob Peter to pay Paul, unable to attend to both sides, so even as he kept shrinking his battle lines, he couldn't stop the casualties.

But she has enough people under her command!

Finally, it was her turn to appear at the Southern Cross.

He raised the greatsword in his hand.

"Brothers, let's charge!"

Beidou rushed out of the room first.

Within the elemental vision, a house where the enemy is hiding has been detected.

"Turn into charcoal!"

The immense lightning element, under the control of the Eye of God, gathered on the Greatsword of the Big Dipper.

The moment the greatsword struck the house, it was suddenly unleashed.

The concrete houses were shattered by the lightning, and the parts that were hit disappeared completely.

Under the elemental burst of Beidou, the rebels, along with their bunkers, vanished without a trace.

As the Southern Cross fleet's sailors entered the fray, they began to act as guards and bodyguards. The rebels, who used to rely on surprise attacks to achieve their goals, were now often directly stopped by the Southern Cross's quick-witted sailors wielding knives.

If the first attack fails, the remaining ships will either be cleaved in two by the sailors or torn apart by the guards who have reacted.

The tactic of lurking in the shadows and launching a surprise attack is no longer effective.

The sparrow breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

—Although it sounds absurd that the person being protected would provide protection for the guards.

Fortunately, they managed to establish themselves.

Seeing that the situation was beginning to improve, Sparrow began to order the return of the previous positions and gradually expanded the battle line.

It seems... things can stabilize now?

Chapter 87 Encirclement by Allied Forces

Communication was gradually restored throughout Haiji Island, and battle information was slowly being gathered at the Coral Palace.

Jiang Ming then realized that the situation at Coral Palace was an exception compared to the rest of Haiqi Island.

First, the terrain of Coral Palace is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a rapid reaction force is stationed around it. Second, the leader of this rebel group is not an extremist.

On the contrary, Sada was just an ordinary officer in the Kaiji Army who was inexplicably drawn into this vortex during the transfer.

He obeyed the rebels' orders in order to keep his position and avoid being eliminated.

Sada himself had an indifferent attitude.

At Coral Palace, Sada's decision to send out a full-scale attack by those extremists ironically brought his troops back to their senses, a lucky accident that created favorable conditions for their surrender.

Most importantly, they were trapped in a dead end, surrounded by two sides, with no other way to escape.

However, other places on Haiqi Island did not achieve such great results as the Coral Palace.

What is known so far is that although the enemy's attack was repelled in the industrial zone, the main enemy force retreated, and the garrison in the industrial zone did not pursue them out of caution.

On the other side of the Ocean Academy, they also repelled the enemy's attack, and the eager older brothers ultimately didn't get a chance to play.

The exact situation at Beidou and his team's lodgings is still unclear, but continuous gunfire can still be heard, and the fighting continues. Jiang Ming has mobilized a team from the reserve to provide assistance.

The 101st Division was said to have more than 10,000 men, but in reality, only a little over 3,000 were actually available.

The remaining people haven't even been fully equipped with weapons yet, and they feel their combat strength is insufficient even when they're just filling in the gaps.

Besides the personnel stationed in various locations, there are approximately one thousand reserve personnel available for deployment.

One battalion of about four hundred men was dispatched to support the situation at Beidou Maque.

The situation at one of the remaining docks remains unclear.

However, eyewitness reports were received that the Southern Cross fleet, including the Death Star, had departed port.

The situation may not be favorable; the dock may have already been occupied.

Another battalion was dispatched to provide support, or to retake the dock.

The current state of the battle has left all five forces involved on Haiqi Island completely bewildered.

The development of events took an unexpected turn.

"Damn it, how did it turn out like this?" x5.

First, let's start with Jiang Ming's side:

"Damn it, how did it get into this state?"

Jiang Ming was venting his frustrations to Xin Hai and Wu Lang.

"In one night of fighting, we had more than 2,000 people involved. Not counting the embassy area (Beidou's residence) and the dock, we suffered 174 casualties, which is close to one-tenth of the casualties! Even with a full set of firearms, we were reduced to this level? It's just one Evil Eye!"

Generally speaking, for cold weapon armies and organizations like the Haizhi Army, a casualty rate exceeding 10% means they are not far from collapse.

The old Coral Palace Guard was alright, but the expanded Sea God Army is really no good.

Even with ample battlefield aid and logistical support, the improvement for modern armies is limited. A loss of more than 10% in morale can affect the morale of an elite modern army, and a casualty rate exceeding 30% means collapse.

Only a few armies with firm beliefs and clear goals are exceptions, capable of withstanding more than 30% casualties.

Some armies armed with red ideology can maintain extremely strong combat effectiveness even with a casualty rate of over 100%, and even become more courageous in battle. This is a miracle.

No, this is an exception among exceptions; this is a miracle.

However, many people take this miracle for granted, especially the rabbits who have long enjoyed this protection.

The current 101st Division can hardly be considered a proper Red Army. At best, it has achieved some ideological unity and has developed some awareness of serving the people. At worst, it has the ideological consciousness to actively defend the existing superior and stable life on Haizhi Island.

A casualty rate of nearly 10% is already a dangerous figure.

"What's most infuriating is that out of these 174 casualties, 97 were friendly fire incidents, meaning more than half of them died at the hands of our own people!"

"Look, look!"

Jiang Ming held the preliminary combat report in his left hand, while his right hand slapped the thin stack of papers loudly.

"When we were about to return to support Coral Palace, some idiot pulled the pin on a grenade, then threw the pin away, leaving the grenade in his own hand. He and two other people in his group were instantly killed by that grenade."

"And over in the industrial zone, this guy is even more of a talent. When he swung his arm back, preparing to throw a grenade, his hand slipped and he accidentally let it go. By sheer coincidence, the grenade landed in his own men's position. Five of the seven men died on the spot, and two others were seriously injured."

"I even suspect he might be a spy sent by the enemy!"

"And the rest—those who blindly ran into their own lines of fire, those who couldn't distinguish between armor and green uniforms, those who accidentally fired in a moment of nervousness—I won't go into detail about them all."

"Congratulations to our 101st Division for achieving an MVP record during the operation."

"..."

A hush fell over Xin Hai's office, broken only by Jiang Ming's sarcastic tone regarding the unusual friendly fire incident.

"Ahem..." Goro cleared his throat. "The 101st Division has only been established for a short time, and its training time is very limited. I think that it has done quite well to achieve what it has done so far."

From Goro's perspective, the fact that two thousand men could hold off an attack by twenty thousand enemy men and defend most of the locations was enough to cover up any problems that arose during the process.

"Merit is merit, and fault is fault. We cannot play the game of offsetting merits and faults."

"Moreover, our weapons are superior, and the enemy is not particularly strong. The problem of the 101st Division's high friendly fire rate must be resolved."

During a rare break, the three leaders of Coral Palace decided to discuss the next steps in reform within the palace grounds.

After breaking ties with these extremists and removing all obstacles, everything went smoothly.

The second force was the shogunate.

To be precise, it is the Kujo family's current observation post on Umijima Island.

"Why is it like this?"

The person in charge put down the binoculars with an incredulous expression.

He witnessed the entire raiding squad being riddled with bullets by the guards.

I also witnessed the scene where that person was suppressed by firepower and hid behind a tree, and then charged out and immediately lost.

The first team to raid Beidou's residence was sent by them.

The goal was simply to inflict heavy casualties on the Southern Cross fleet, then sow discord and prevent Beidou from returning.

Sending Beidou's fleet back and forth between Liyue, the outlying islands, and Haiji Island is not in Kujo Takayuki's interest.

Of course, it would be even better to eliminate Beidou and her crew members as directly as possible.
