Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Considering the strength of the Southern Cross fleet, they dispatched a person with the Eye of God and also recruited some highly skilled Sea Demons and Wild Fushi.

They had originally planned a stealthy attack, but not only were they discovered, their entire squad was wiped out in just a few minutes.

How could it be like this?

Are these Haiqi soldiers, dressed in distinctive green uniforms, really that powerful?

What's with the weapons they have?

"Something's wrong with Haiqi Island."

The person in charge slapped his forehead and suddenly realized what was going on.

Whether it's the Southern Cross or not is no longer important. What's important is to quickly report the changes on Haizhi Island and those amazing weapons.

Chapter 88 All You Think About Living Is In vain

"Whoa! How could it be like this?"

As reinforcements arrived, they formed a pincer movement with Sparrow and Beidou, and the rebels retreated shortly afterward.

At this moment, Beidou frowned as he looked at the street, which was now covered in blood, littered with corpses, and marked with traces of grenade explosions.

The trees along the street were either blown askew by grenades or pierced by bullets, snapped in half.

The buildings near them were riddled with bullet holes, and most of the buildings that had glass windows had been blown to pieces.

Some buildings were also shattered and destroyed by her elemental attacks.

Well... to be honest, it's not her fault.

That's her fighting style; she'll blow you up, along with your cover.

In an emergency, there's no time to worry about anything else.

I looked up and saw the support troops rushing past in the distance, chasing after the enemy.

In what she saw, the support troops that had just been transferred to the battlefield suffered few casualties because of their sufficient numbers.

No, perhaps it's not because of a large number of people, but rather because of sufficient firepower.

Beidou recalled that during the battle, her sailors inevitably suffered some casualties.

This was much worse than she had anticipated.

She initially didn't take these rebels seriously at all, and didn't think they would cause much casualties.

However, to everyone's surprise, many of these rebels used the Fools' Evil Eye.

These enhanced enemies posed a huge threat to the sailors of the North Star. Even when the sailors worked together, in two-on-one or even three-on-one situations, they were still able to hold their own. Some of the stronger sailors were even able to find opportunities to counterattack and kill her sailors in close combat.

In contrast, while some of the sailors responsible for close protection of the guards were injured, none of them died.

If the first attack is blocked, the enemy won't even be able to launch a second attack, and there will be no possibility of a prolonged fight. Even if the sailors can't kill them immediately, the guards can kill them with a single shot, or at least render them incapable of resistance with a single shot.

Looking back at the battle more closely, even when facing enemies using the Evil Eye, the guards were still capable of taking on ten enemies at once, much better than her sailors.

Those muskets were the key reason for the vast disparity in strength between the two sides.

Especially those muskets that could fire continuously.

Beidou began to realize the immense power of guns and the importance of firepower.

Oh, and those grenades too.

She suddenly realized that times had changed.

And it changes very quickly.

Swords and blades belong to a bygone era.

These old guys who use swords are already antiques.

Well... that's not quite right. It's good that I have the Divine Eye. After all, even with guns, these people from Haiqi Island couldn't have cleaved through those sturdy houses with just one person and one sword.

But her sailors were truly antiques, completely out of touch with the times.

She stared intently at the weapons in the hands of the 101st Division soldiers, her gaze growing increasingly fervent.

"This stuff is amazing! We must get some, lots of it."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

On the other side were the Fools.

"Ha! How could it be like this?"

The soldier frowned, his mouth agape, looking as if he'd just seen a terrible movie.

In his mind, with the strong support of the Fools and a surprise attack, how could he not take down a small Coral Palace?

Not only did they fail to capture Coral Palace, but they were also forced into a retreat after a wave of attacks.

After all that effort, this is the result?

Not only were their battle results disastrous, but the casualties suffered by the Fools also exceeded expectations.

He sent out quite a few advance teams, including debt collectors and special units like lightning mages. These would be enough to give the regular armies of Mondstadt or Liyue a headache, yet they were almost completely wiped out in the small place of Coral Palace.

"It's those new firearms!"

The stragglers realized what the problem was.

According to the reports from the advance team members who returned alive, it was a weapon completely different from the elemental musket.

It has an extremely high rate of fire, extremely high accuracy, and the projectiles are also very fast, making it extremely powerful and lethal.

Most importantly, they could not sense the presence of elemental forces above them.

The presence of fire elemental power can only be felt at the moment of activation, but no trace of elemental power can be felt on the person wielding this weapon.

The advance team believed it was some kind of more advanced and special gunpowder.

In other words, this thing can be used by any ordinary person, but it is much more useful than the Evil Eye. At least it is more lethal to people, and most importantly, it does not require risking one's life.

From the perspective of the Fools' commander, the soldier wondered if this thing, once it spread, would lead to the loss of the Fools' military advantage.

"Hehehe~ Hahahahahahaha~ This is really funny~ Hahahaha"

Thinking about this, the soldier couldn't help but laugh.

At first, he was suppressing his emotions, but later he gradually became arrogant and laughed maniacally.

Although he is the executive officer, his relationship with the Fools is merely one of cooperation.

The invincible military advantage that the Fatui had painstakingly built up over so many years was shattered by a tiny machine. What expressions will the Doctor, the Captain, and the Joker have?

What kind of performance will they deliver this time?

"This is truly a scene I'm looking forward to."

After laughing, Sanbing felt that he still needed to deal with the mess at hand first.

“Bring Nikola and the others back. It’s pointless. Tell them that the problem this time is not his fault.”

"Damn it, how could it be like this?"

Ito was terrified.

He prepared such a large army, and yet he was defeated just like that?

Only one... no, half a night!

Of the 20,000 troops, some died and others surrendered, leaving him with just over 13,000 men.

And their only achievement was a dock.

The Southern Cross fleet has all fled!

What good is a dock if there are no ships?

"This... sir, it's really not our fault. The dock's terrain is unique. If we want to attack and seize the ship, there's only one way to go. Those outsiders at the dock are desperately trying to stop us. The weapons they have are terrifying. They can't just hit us once and then pull us away; they can keep hitting us!"

"The brothers fought with all their might but couldn't break through. In the end, they ran out of ammunition and finally made it to the top, but... the Southern Cross fleet was already prepared and set sail with those men..."

"So, you fought for so long, suffered huge casualties, and not only did you fail to seize any ships, you didn't even kill a single enemy. They all got away?" Ito's tone was surprisingly calm at this moment.

"This……"

The two men who came to report looked at each other, hesitant and not daring to speak.

They always felt that this was the calm before the storm.

Seeing their expressions, Ito knew that they really hadn't killed a single person.

"Trash, all rubbish!"

Ito kicked the table away and angrily cursed at the group of high-ranking officers around him.

The flying table hit the two soldiers who came to report, but they didn't dare to utter a sound.

Everyone in the tent dared not utter a sound, silently bowing their heads as Ito reprimanded them.

"Don't be angry, Mr. Ito."

Nikolai, the representative of the Fools, led his men into the tent and walked towards Itō.

"What are you doing here? If it weren't for you, if it weren't for your stupid actions, we might not have failed at all! We might have succeeded!"

Ito, already overwhelmed by the defeat, couldn't calm down at all and vented his anger on Nikolai.

It was all because of those two spies he probably let in that day.

Reason? What reason do you expect me to have for reason?!

Seeing this, Nikolai didn't waste any more words and got straight to the point.

"We are here to evacuate."
