Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

Chapter 51 They all fucking die!

It's not that just one person dying for him would make him grateful and even willing to risk his life for him.

That veteran wasn't that important to him.

However, someone died for him.

In this strange world where no one knows anyone, someone died for him...

Shen Liang stood up. An arrow grazed past his ear. He touched his ear and felt fresh blood and pain.

The crowded and noisy world suddenly felt real.

—There are still people who want to kill me.

--damn it.

—I was just rescued at the cost of someone's life…

—Am I going to die here?

—Dying in a foreign land?

And just like that, without even remembering their names, in a daze, they never saw Rosalia and Lilia again...

Shen Liang looked around. The soldiers' faces were filled with fear, but they still gripped their guns and bows tightly.

—They're the same way.

—Even if I were to talk about it all, I would have a way out. What about them?

—They…have sisters too, and even parents…

So... why should I?!

At this moment, Sihe saw Goro and Coral Palace Ryuka return to the battlements, looking disheveled.

Sihe's face turned deathly pale.

Goro was part of the vanguard at the front. His return meant one thing: the war was completely over, the ground forces had become meaningless, and Goro no longer needed to get involved.

In other words, Ruka Sangokami judged that the situation was beyond saving.

We lost this war!

"Open the city gates! Welcome back the vanguard!" As soon as Coral Palace Liuge returned, she gave the order to the troops on the city wall. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Sound the gong! Withdraw all ground troops! We... retreat to the Southern Island!"

The soldiers on the city wall looked at Coral Palace Ryuka with disbelief.

But they soon realized that asking questions was pointless; the once unstoppable vanguard was now being pursued back to their main camp by the shogunate's cavalry, which outnumbered them several times over. The enemy's main force had long since abandoned their bows and arrows, drawing their spears and swords as they charged towards the city walls with their cavalry.

Smoke and dust billowed, symbolizing victory.

Although the city walls have not yet been completely breached, it is clear that many of the shogunate's soldiers are already impatient. They are not going to wait for the cannons to completely destroy the battlements, because they want to achieve a feat called "first to ascend the city walls".

The first squad to scale the wall would be promoted and ennobled; this was a tradition of the Shogunate army.

Once the siege ladders are in place and Shogunate soldiers step onto the city walls, everything will be over.

Coral Palace Ryuka knew what would happen if she delayed any longer, so she had to give up immediately to preserve some of her strength. If she continued to resist, the remaining thousand or so people might not even have a chance to escape.

This was the punishment for her negligence in the war; she had to swallow the bitter pill of losing the vine fortress.

Then, Ruka Sango saw the child walk to the gap in the city wall.

----------

Goto, riding a tall warhorse and holding a lasso, gazed at the dilapidated city wall with a cruel smile.

He couldn't wait for the ladders; the enemy had already sounded the retreat. If he waited any longer, they would withdraw, and he would lose the unparalleled achievement of being the first to scale the city walls.

The Coral Palace army is currently in a rout, and this victory is practically within his grasp—moreover, he is not afraid of anyone blocking his way on the city walls. He became a member of the vanguard because of the reputation he earned in the three-army competition. Even the holder of the Eye of God is not to be feared. As long as he can reach that place, he can be directly promoted to sergeant, and his salary will be enough for him to marry Chiyoko.

Then, he saw a figure with long black hair standing in the gap in the city wall, with a face as beautiful as jade and eyes lowered.

"A shrine maiden?" The thought flashed through Goto's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

So what if she's a shrine maiden? A shrine maiden who doesn't believe in the Great Shogun is nothing but a heretic cult; killing her is no big deal! It's just a waste of a beautiful face!

Goto licked his lips, swung the lasso, and prepared to hook the "shrine maiden" and pull her down. He had never seen such a beautiful person smashed into a pile of minced meat before!

Then he saw the man take out a dark-colored bottle.

—That kind of wine bottle from Mondstadt?

—What's wrong? Are you going to drink the death wine? Knowing you can't hold on, so you want to die a heroic death?

Goto saw the man throw the bottle down; the city wall was thirty meters high, and the bottle flew in an arc.

Goto smiled slightly, immediately reined in his horse, and leisurely reached out to catch the bottle steadily.

—I'm so cool!

—When the two armies faced each other, I took your last cup of wine, tilted my head back and drank it all in one gulp, as a farewell gift to you.

Such elegant deeds during wartime will surely be recorded in history books!

But when he saw the beautiful "witch" on the city wall, whose face had always been calm and composed, reveal an incredulous expression.

—Didn't expect that? Haha, I, Goto, raise a glass to you!

He then discovered that the bottle he had caught had shattered.

—What kind of cheap liquor is this! I can't possibly catch this! Oh no, my wonderful story is ruined!

This was Goto's final thought.

Immediately afterwards, the wine was poured over his entire body, and purple-blue flames rose rapidly with the wine, burning fiercely along with the horse!

A piercing scream echoed across the battlefield.

----------

Shen Liang remained expressionless as he threw out one Molotov cocktail after another.

The flame radius of a Molotov cocktail is about fifteen meters. The flame with added white phosphorus and aluminum powder burns quite fiercely, with a temperature of up to 850 degrees Celsius.

Furthermore, a thickener was added, making this Molotov cocktail almost as effective as napalm. Once a tiny bit gets on it, it spreads uncontrollably, making it virtually impossible to stop the fire.

This specially made incendiary bottle has another name, "Molotov cocktail," and is known for its simple preparation, terrifying power, and even inhumanity.

The vanguard cavalry near the city walls had never seen such a weapon before. When the Molotov cocktails exploded in dense areas, they would set off a large area of ​​fire. As they fled, they would get on other people and create new sources of fire.

"You want to kill me?" Shen Liang looked at the group of Shogunate soldiers who were in complete disarray below the city wall, their men and horses scattered, and revealed a cruel smile. "You think you can kill me?"

"boom!"

An arrow shot straight toward Shen Liang's face!

Shen Liang seemed oblivious, but Coral Palace Liu Ge's expression changed. She was about to control the water to defend him, but she watched as the arrow suddenly disappeared about a meter in front of him.

It was as if the air itself distorted for a moment, swallowing the arrow whole.

She didn't know it was a teleportation screen. Activating it wasn't particularly noticeable in the bright sky. After activating the screen in front of him, Shen Liang extended the other end directly onto the apartment rooftop, aiming it at the sky above. This way, even if the arrow had a strong impact, it would ultimately only fall onto his rooftop.

Shen Liang's eyes remained calm. His current emotions were strange. After fear and anger, he should have gone mad, but he did not. Instead, he became even calmer.

He only brought twenty Molotov cocktails this time, and he has already thrown half of them, turning the area under the city wall into a sea of ​​fire.

But the fuel in the Molotov cocktails is limited; they can't burn indefinitely. Even the Sangokiya army realized this. Goro frowned and looked at him: "Are you trying to buy us time to withdraw?"

Shen Liang ignored him. After confirming that no one could climb the city wall anytime soon, he walked straight to a ballista without turning his head and said, "Give me a hand."

While the others were still wondering, Coral Palace Ryuka instantly understood his intention. Her face lit up with ecstasy, and she practically leaped over, drew her bow, and turned to ask him, "Are you sure it will work?"

"I'm not sure, but this thing can even burn a tank." Shen Liang grinned maliciously, his delicate face now as sinister as a demon in a mural.

He strapped three Molotov cocktails to arrows at a time, then aimed at the nearest Kamui Island cannon, a smirk playing on his lips. "Go to hell, all of you."

Hmm? .jpg

Chapter 52 No more staying up late starting today, I'm going to update more!

As the three-meter-long arrow fell from the sky, Kujo Sara had a premonition of death.

She had seen ballistae fired at the Kamigyu Island cannons next to her several times and knew that the thing was useless, but she also knew that on the battlefield, she had to trust her intuition, especially since she was the holder of the Eye of God and she believed that the general was protecting her.

So she knew there was definitely something wrong.

Her exceptional eyesight allowed her to spot the wine bottle tied to the arrow.

—A wine bottle?

In an instant, Kujo Sara recalled the scene near the castle walls that she had just seen through the binoculars.

She understood what the other person was thinking!

Kujo Sara roared, drew her bow, and fired. As a member of the Tengu clan renowned for her speed, her Thunder Attribute Divine Eye made her even faster! The power of lightning flowed through her arrow, turning it purple, and she fired it at the incoming giant arrow!

Crisis was imminent! Kujo Sara's arrow was an absolute masterpiece!

But she still missed; there wasn't enough time to aim.

"You! Raise the rock wall! Protect the camp!" Kujo Sara shouted as he fired his arrow!

They weren't there to protect the cannons, but to protect the camp, because Kujo Sara knew very well the power of that sake bottle!
