Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

"What? You're leaving?"

Ito's anger was immediately suppressed.

His forces were no match for the Coral Palace gang; once they rallied, his death was imminent.

Now the Fools are his only hope, and he has no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.

"That's right. This has failed, and we will not invest any more."

"you this……"

Ito wanted to say "bastard."

He pushed me onto this dead end, and now he's pushing me off the cliff again.

But he didn't dare.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ito, we won't forget our friends. You can come with us."

"Why?" Ito forced himself to calm down.

These fools, who only act for personal gain, won't protect him for no reason.

“Mr. Itō, you still have more than 10,000 soldiers and loyal followers of the Serpent God, don’t you?”

"so what?"

"The Coral Palace has already announced that the ringleader will be executed, and the rest will be forgiven."

Ito was startled by what he heard.

He really didn't know this.

"They seem to want to resolve the issue quickly, or perhaps they don't want too many casualties. In any case, we now have another opportunity."

"Surrender, hide your people, and you can continue to lead them under our protection until the time is right."

Ito didn't speak immediately, but instead considered the pros and cons of the proposal.

However, upon reflection, he realized there was nothing to think about at all.

The other side has already shouted that the ringleader must be executed, so his only fate is death.

Even if leaving with the Fools means becoming dependent on others, manipulated, and a puppet, it's still a way to survive.

“Not only you, but everyone in this tent can leave with us.”

Seeing that Ito remained silent, Nikolai added fuel to the fire.

He has now regained his usual composure and calmness.

There's no other reason than that, as the soldier said, the fault wasn't his.

Great!

He no longer needs to worry about suffering endless torture and dying a mutilated death.

"You may all consider this carefully, but we don't have much time."

Nikolai's lips curled into a smile again.

√

He waved his hand, signaling the people behind him to take care of the two troublesome soldiers.

"No...no, no, we didn't hear anything..."

"Pfft-"

Fresh blood gushed from the arteries, staining the area around the tent red.

The high-ranking officers of the rebel army inside the camp were terrified as they watched this scene unfold.

If they were captured by the Coral Palace, their lives would probably end there...

Thinking of this, they looked at Ito.

Feeling the expectant looks in his subordinates' eyes, Ito could only sigh inwardly.

Waving his hand, Ito said, "Let's go."

“A wise choice.” Nikolai bowed slightly to Ito.

Just as the group stood up, a discordant voice rang out from outside the tent.

"Leave? I don't think any of you are leaving today."

Chapter 89 Let me try out the knife!

"Stop!"

The squad leader of the "decapitation squad," which was temporarily formed by the rapid reaction battalion, raised his left fist to signal his team members behind him to stop advancing.

Not far ahead of them was a corpse, dressed in rebel armor, which looked like it had been dead for some time.

There was no one around, no shortcut, and no trace of the rebel army's main force. So where did this single corpse come from?

The squad leader first observed the surroundings and found no signs of an ambush before leading his men forward to investigate.

"Hiss~" A team member who followed forward frowned and gasped.

"Head, a 9mm pistol bullet to the head, killed instantly, must be one of ours."

"I saw it, I'm not blind," the squad leader retorted.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should be the only ones using 9mm pistol ammunition at present.

It's strange that pistols are produced later in the production schedule, and they're not even widely used within the 101st Division yet. Only a few special units and high-ranking officers are equipped with them. Where did they come from?

His gaze traveled from the bullet hole in the forehead down to the bag in the victim's crotch.

The bag had been opened.

The squad leader crouched down, picked up the bag, and looked inside. It showed signs of having been rummaged through and looked somewhat messy.

The most conspicuous document on the top shelf was an order from the enemy general, Ito.

[Your unit is ordered to accelerate its advance, achieve a swift victory, and capture the Coral Palace before enemy reinforcements arrive.]

Ito's signature and seal are also in the lower right corner of the paper.

"He was a messenger, delivering a warrant to Sada."

The squad leader passed the order around for everyone to see.

"We don't know who killed him. There were obvious signs of ransacking the bag, so the other party must have seen the order."

"What does this mean?"

"This means someone is helping us. However, they're probably just passing by."

If the intention was to help them, then this order should have disappeared long ago.

The squad leader rummaged through the dead messenger's bag again.

The messenger's bag contained many other documents, which he glanced at but found nothing related to himself.

He simply packed the whole thing into his backpack, turned around, and said, "Let's move on."

When the "decapitation squad" arrived at the enemy's command post, they were immediately shocked by what they saw.

There wasn't a single living person in the entire camp.

Soldiers lay scattered across the camp, with obvious bloodstains visible around them.

Needless to say, they're all dead.

In front of the largest tent, there were scattered, blown-to-smith corpses. Everyone in the squad recognized at a glance that these were the casualties caused by an explosive device.

"What happened?"

The members of the decapitation squad looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Could it be a saturation operation, and someone beat us to it?"

Someone in the team made a guess.

Upon hearing this, the squad leader immediately rejected the idea: "Impossible. We were the first unit to restore contact with Coral Palace and the first place to stabilize. Who could be faster than us?"

"Maybe it was someone from somewhere else who acted on their own?"

"Where did we get the extra troops to operate?"

"Could it be that they had an internal conflict?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the person who suggested the internal strife felt the pangs of sympathy directed at the fool.

“Open your eyes and look closely. Where is there any sign of infighting? Everyone died on duty. This is clearly an assassination.”

"That……"

"Alright, alright." The squad leader waved his hand, interrupting the increasingly heated discussion within the squad. "There doesn't seem to be anyone alive here. Let's go down and check."

"You guys stay here to provide support. The rest of you, come down with me."

"Yes!"

The real shock came when the group went to the site to conduct an on-site investigation.

"It's so brutal."

One of the team members shook his head.

"Almost all of them were killed instantly by slitting their throats with a dagger. Even the few unlucky ones who were hit by crossbow bolts were all shot in the head. The methods were almost identical."

"There should only be one person who came to raid the enemy command post."

only one person!

That's what made them so shocked.

Their carefully selected squad, equipped with state-of-the-art automated weapons and a large quantity of explosives, was still figuring out how to infiltrate and break out.
