The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"No need to trouble you. I won't run away until this place is razed to the ground today."

Seeing the whispering soldiers, Ember turned and spoke.

Immediately afterwards, his figure disappeared from the guards' sight.

"What about people?"

"Here it is!"

After a brief exchange, another guard took to the air.

Seeing this, the remaining few knew that Ember was definitely not an opponent they could handle.

So they ran one by one toward the Heavenly Commander behind them, hoping to find reinforcements.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"I told you there's no need to rush, why are you still in such a hurry? Do you look down on me?"

After a few dull knocks, only Yu Jin remained at the gate of the Heavenly Territory.

Looking at the towering wall in front of him, Yu Jin put away the huge club in his hand.

Since we're going to take things apart, there's no need to be so gentle.

Ember raised his arm, and specks of blue light began to gather in his hand. The light on his palm grew brighter and brighter, and then a large blue hammer appeared in Ember's hand.

The Great Hammer of Heimos—one of the Brilliant Stone spells of the Magic Academy of Realucalia.

It can form a magic hammer to unleash a strike. It can only be used once and can be followed up with a follow-up attack.

The magic taught in the Heimos Classroom is equivalent to the academy's judge of good and evil. Magic exists to quell conflict.

The Heimer's Hammer, created to quell conflict, was perfectly suited for use in the Heavenly Territory, in Ember's view.

If we can smash the Heavenly Regime into pieces, there should be no more disputes.

"boom!"

The blue hammer slammed down, and a visible azure shockwave spread out, completely destroying the nearby towering walls.

"This looks much better." Looking at the ruins in front of him, Yu Jin nodded and stepped inside.

Although the Tenryo Magistrate's Office is located next to the castle tower, it occupies a considerable area. It may look small, but that's only in comparison to the castle tower.

The most prominent example is that the training grounds of the shogunate army were located within the Tenryo Magistrate's residence.

Some new recruits who have just joined the army will train at the training grounds of the Heavenly Command for a period of time before being officially assigned to specific military units after the assessment is completed.

At the same time, this was also the training ground for the shogunate army. Each Tenryō mongoryō (a high-ranking official in charge of military affairs) comprised the backbone and future of the shogunate army.

The loud noise from the outside naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the Sky Territory. However, those who actually took action were the new and old soldiers who had rushed from the nearby training ground.

"Halt! You're the one who damaged the outer wall!"

Large swaths of purple surged in from all directions. Yu Jin walked closely into the Heavenly Territory Envoy's residence for a short while before he was surrounded by the arriving Shogunate soldiers.

Looking around, some people were eager to try, some were sweating profusely, and others were filled with doubt and uncertainty.

However, without exception, they were all warriors, and even the one who had just shouted at Yu Jin was a general.

"Where are the civil officials inside? I need to find them. You bunch of greenhorns, you'd better practice your spears a thousand times before you come looking for me!"

After casually glancing at the surrounding soldiers, Yu Jin noticed that many of them were unsteady on their feet, and quite a few mishaps occurred while they were marching and brandishing their spears.

Without a doubt, a significant portion of this group were greenhorns. This wasn't the kind of person Ember was looking for.

Although the soldiers of the shogunate did many inhumane things, that was only true when it came to the group as a whole.

When it comes to individuals, especially these new recruits, a specific approach is needed. These recruits probably haven't even been to a battlefield, so if anyone's looking for trouble, it's not their responsibility.

What Ember truly wanted to see was the person in charge of the Heavenly Ranks.

"The officials are too busy with important matters to bother with such a small thing," the leading general replied loudly upon hearing Yu Jin's question.

"I advise you to surrender obediently. No matter how strong you are, you will not be able to escape if you force your way into the Heavenly Territory."

Seeing Yu Jin deep in thought, the leading general once again tried to persuade him.

The walls that Tianling followed were not only thick, but also made of specially reinforced materials.

The guy in front of me was able to destroy such a large section of high walls in Tianling so easily; his strength probably far exceeds that of an ordinary person.

Even if we could actually keep him here, it would probably come at an extremely heavy price.

"Looks like those guys are pretty arrogant, they really like flying above people?"

“Okay, I’ll drag them down right away!” Yu Jin said, rubbing his wrist as he looked at the rows of mansions behind the crowd.

Seeing Yu Jin's appearance, the military officer knew that he was not going to surrender easily. So he gestured for Yu Jin to move aside.

"when!"

A sharp, piercing crash rang out, and amidst a shower of sparks, wood chips mixed with scraps of iron flew into the crowd, causing a commotion.

"How is this possible?!" The general's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked up at the distant watchtower, his mind reeling with a storm of emotions.

His gesture just now meant to fire arrows, but not the arrows held by soldiers; rather, it meant the fixed heavy crossbows made of steel on the watchtower.

The heavy arrows fired from these crossbows are so powerful that even a typical owner of the Eye of God would be reduced to a pile of minced meat if struck by one, let alone an ordinary person.

The heavy arrow struck Ember squarely, but it didn't even make him move a step.

Rubbing his forehead, Yu Jin found some remaining wood shavings in his hand. He had just felt a sudden heaviness in his head, as if something had hit him.

Judging from their reaction now, it seems like they're being shot?

"You shot pretty accurately."

Brushing the debris from his hand, Yu Jin looked at the still silent square pavilion. "Looks like the commotion just now wasn't big enough. I need to step up my efforts and make them restless."

Turning his gaze to the soldiers surrounding him, Yu Jin nodded and said, "In that case, let me see the results of your training, you greenhorns!"

Chapter 461 Stepping on

2024-02-01

"Damn it! What an arrogant guy!"

"That's right, everyone, let's go! Let's teach him a lesson!"

"Yes, we need to let him know we're not to be trifled with!"

……

The more threatening the surrounding soldiers were, the faster they retreated.

There was no other way; the scene of Ember taking the crossbow bolt head-on was just too shocking, and none of the soldiers present were willing to be the first to step forward.

Seeing the soldiers cowering in fear, the general immediately shouted, "What are you afraid of?! You are soldiers of the shogunate, and you should prioritize bravery."

"So many people are afraid of one person. Aren't you afraid that this will tarnish the reputation of the shogunate?!"

"Haha, the reputation of the Shogunate has long been ruined by the group of people hiding behind you, you just don't know it!"

Hearing the general's reprimand, Yu Jin couldn't help but laugh. The shogunate's reputation? That kind of thing had long been tarnished by the shogunate's actions in the war.

It was only in Inazuma Castle, which was untouched by the war, that people cared about the reputation of the shogunate.

"Drink up! Take this thorn!"

The general's shout was a powerful morale booster for the hesitant soldiers. Many of the shogunate soldiers who had been wavering immediately roared and thrust their weapons at the embers.

Countless spear tips pierced towards the embers in the center, sending sparks flying across his gray-black armor.

"squeak--"

The steel's mournful cry was sickening, and the surrounding soldiers were astonished to find that the iron can, completely shrouded in armor, was like a steel statue.

The greater the force used when stabbing into the embers, the greater the recoil force transmitted to the hand. In just a short while, many soldiers who had been thrusting blindly had lost their grip on their weapons due to the numbness in their hands.

"Not enough strength, this doesn't even qualify as a tickle." Bathed in the shimmering cold light, Ember took a small step forward.

"Boom!"

As his foot landed, the ground around him trembled slightly. This caused the soldiers swarming around him to lose their footing, and the ground shook as well.

Taking in the disheveled state of the surrounding shogunate soldiers, Yu Jin shook his head and said with a hint of mockery, "You can't even stand up to yourselves at this level? What's next?"

As he spoke, Yu Jin raised one foot.

This time, it wasn't just a simple "light step." Yu Jin leaned forward, slowly raising his knees to waist height. This looked exactly like a giant stride taken a thousand times slower.

As Yu Jin raised his feet higher and higher, white mist gradually began to rise from his body.

At the same time, the aura he was accumulating grew stronger and stronger.

Under this suffocating pressure, even the most arrogant soldiers couldn't help but stop what they were doing.

Although the sky was still clear, everyone felt that everything in their field of vision suddenly dimmed, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on their heads.

Special combat skill: King's Roar - A combat skill that emits a roar to increase attack power.

The shockwave from the stomp cannot be blocked by defense. During the effective duration of the combat skill, the heavy attack will transform into a forward stomp slash.

What is the roar of a king? The lament of the earth is the roar of a king.

With boundless power, Ember took a heavy step, a step he had been preparing for for a long time.

"Crack—bang!"

The earth was like fragile glass; after the embers took that step, a huge crack instantly appeared.

The cracks covered the entire Tianling Fengxing Mansion almost in the blink of an eye, and not only that, they also spread into the distance.

It spread all the way to the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed God statues outside the Heavenly Territory Magistrate's Office, and even to the Heavenly Tower, which is located high above the Heavenly Territory Magistrate's Office.

Even so, it wasn't enough to release the immense pressure coming from the ground. As a result, the entire ground, along with the people and objects on it, was lifted into the air by that enormous force.

"Rumble--"

No matter how solid the materials or how reasonable the structure of the palaces and buildings of the Tianling Fengxingfu were, they were all reduced to nothing in the face of the collapsed foundation.

A cloud of sand surged upwards, obscuring everything and plunging the area into complete darkness.

Human figures were covered by the swirling sand, and shouts were drowned out by the cracking earth. In the face of this calamity, which can be described as a natural disaster, everything seemed so insignificant.
