Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Time slipped away little by little amidst the conversation.

A little over fifteen minutes later, a sharp screech came from the sky, and flames began to explode on the Shogunate army's position.

Amidst the intense flames and smoke of the explosion, the Swordfish Commando members vaguely saw a pale purple, transparent barrier appearing around the gun emplacements.

The shells that landed on these barriers were detonated directly by the barriers, and the shockwaves and shrapnel from the explosions failed to penetrate the pale purple barrier.

However, every now and then, the barriers of individual gun emplacements would flash and then disappear, after which the falling shells would completely destroy the gun emplacement.

"It really is an elemental shield???"

The captain put down his binoculars, rubbed his eyes carefully, and then observed the situation on the position again.

It was still that same barrier, hindering the artillery fire.

His eyes aren't playing tricks on him!

On the other side, the recorder was snapping photos, and the movie camera faithfully recorded all of this.

Three minutes later, the shelling stopped precisely on time.

As the smoke cleared, people saw a small, inconspicuous box around the gun emplacement, where several people were now supplying it with energy.

"It seems this thing is the key to the Shogunate army's creation of such a large-scale elemental shield. Quickly take a picture of it, observe their subsequent actions, and then we'll retreat."

They watched as the Shogunate soldiers readjusted their bullet trajectories with abacuses until they fired again, at which point the assault captain ordered a retreat.

They at least documented the operation of these gun emplacements.

Based on their method of calculating with an abacus and their reaction speed, the Shogunate army would probably have a hard time hitting their howitzers that were being dragged along by trucks.

The fear is that the Shogunate army will switch to shelling the factory area, and those priceless equipment and materials in the factory will not be able to be taken away in a short time.

The assault team safely withdrew from Tengdou Fortress and returned to the forward command post.

The intelligence that the Shogunate army's artillery forts possessed elemental shields and that these shields could be penetrated was immediately reported to the 2nd Regiment Command via telegram.

The footage and videotapes were loaded onto military vehicles and sent to the command post.

"Although I don't know what kind of evil methods the Shogunate army used, if they can break it, then things will be much easier! Concentrate our firepower, and also request more artillery support from our superiors."

At this moment, the commander of the Second Regiment only regretted that the firepower of his artillery battalion was not strong enough. Otherwise, if there were more cannons, he could blow up the things that could be shattered by his few 75mm cannons.

Unfortunately, the artillery and equipment from Haiji Island are still being loaded onto ships and won't be arriving anytime soon.

If only we had more firepower!

The commander of the Second Regiment felt as if he had contracted a strange illness called "fear of insufficient firepower."

"We need bigger, thicker, and more pipes!"

The commander of the Second Regiment ordered his men to send their requirements back to Haiqi Island.

All levels of troops have been deployed to their positions, and the artillery units are moving rapidly and randomly according to their preset locations. We have not escalated the battle further. After learning about the reaction speed and operation mode of the Shogunate army's artillery, he relaxed a little and was at least able to have a bite of lunch.

Shortly afterward, photos and videos from the Swordfish Commando arrived at the command post.

The commander of the second regiment silently read through these words while shoveling food into his bowl.

From the video, we can roughly determine the withstand capability of these "elemental shields".

I just don't know if it will change with the change of energy suppliers, and if so, how big the change will be.

"Go, find a fast ship and quickly send these to Haiji Island to be handed over to General Goro and the others."

He carefully collected the photos and videos and handed them to the messenger.

Chapter 143 Shield or Barrier?

"Why does this thing look so much like the Ruolei Barrier?"

Inside the Coral Palace, Jiang Ming watched the videotape playing and felt that the images looked familiar.

This seems very similar to the lightning barriers set up by unknown people in the Inazuma wilderness, and the objects they seal are also unknown.

It's the kind of shady place that requires a Thunder Seed to enter, and you can't get in if you're not at the required level.

According to Coral Palace's on-site investigations in some areas, although the number is not as many as in the game, there are still quite a few such barriers.

However, without the Thunder Seed, they couldn't get in using ordinary methods, and they couldn't find out what was inside.

They had no idea how this barrier worked.

"In short, this thing doesn't seem as sturdy as the original barrier, and it's limited by the number of people. We can handle it by increasing the yield for now."

Jiang Ming summarized the technique used by the Shogunate army, which was neither clearly an elemental shield nor a barrier.

"I have already mobilized more artillery to Tengdou Fortress, and in addition, that batch of larger caliber artillery has also been arranged," Goro reported his arrangements.

"We need to eliminate these elemental cannons quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications. By the way, has there been any news from Inazuma City?"

Xin Hai said no.

"Don't be too anxious. We don't have a cable to Inazuma City. We can't send information there by telegram. We still have to rely on manpower. It's normal for it to be slower. Let's wait a little longer."

"But we have no idea about the enemy's changes and true strength, so we are somewhat on the defensive."

"Oh right, make a copy of these photos and send it to Iwasaki Masakazu as well." Jiang Ming suddenly remembered that these photos might still be useful.

Inside the Kamisato residence, Ayato Kamisato, who was rushing out of his house, bumped into an old acquaintance.

"Oh? Mr. Iwasaki? You've come at the perfect time. I was just about to look for you. I received news..."

"Fighting has broken out on the front lines at Bayun Island, and the battle is fierce?"

"So you're aware of this too. Shall we speak privately for a moment?"

Ayato Kamisato gestured for Iwasaki to come inside and speak.

Inside the room, Ayato Kamisato looked at Masashi Iwasaki with a serious expression.

"You haven't received any news either?"

"No, the Coral Palace is urging me to find out the reason for the Shogunate Army's unusual movements as soon as possible. They are in a very urgent mood. According to reliable intelligence, the Shogunate Army has suddenly acquired a large number of elemental cannons and is using Evil Eyes to power these elemental cannons. Moreover, there is an unknown protective technology. We suspect that the Fatui are helping us."

Iwasaki pushed a paper bag in front of Ayato Kamisato.

Upon opening it, I discovered it was a scene depicting the shogunate army's artillery emplacements.

The sequential photographs showcased the various operations of the Shogunate army, including the scenes of batches of artillery being driven and carried away.

Ayato Kamisato's brows furrowed tightly.

"A large number of elemental cannons? Evil Eyes? Protective technology?"

"What? You don't know?"

Upon hearing this, Ayato Kamisato frowned and shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"Most of the forces of the Final Ban are deployed among the elite troops of the Shogunate Army, namely the one led by Kujo Masahiro. That is Kujo Takayuki's direct troops, and it has always been our focus. The one that fought against the Umi-gi Army this time was not this one. Currently, the Final Ban does not have many forces stationed in this unit, but this time, some information was sent to us. Logically speaking, this should not be the case."

He only learned about the shogunate army's bombardment of Fujito Fortress after fighting had broken out at the front lines, through his men who had been planted elsewhere.

No word came from the personnel within the army that carried out the shelling.

Iwasaki Masashi did not say anything.

The Shogunate army has always been a vacuum for them; if they didn't even receive news of the final battle, then it's even less likely that they will.

"I think the most bizarre thing about this is... how did they forge so many Kamuijima cannons? As far as I know, the production process of Kamuijima cannons is extremely complex, the maintenance costs are high, and the usage conditions are demanding. For a long time, the shogunate has only possessed a limited number of them. How did they manage to do it in such a short time?"

Ayato Kamisato was completely baffled.

"Perhaps this is not the Kamui Island Collapse Cannon, but some other improved version. It is also possible that someone provided assistance."

"If it were the Fools, this wouldn't be possible either. Such a large-scale mobilization of resources couldn't possibly be concealed, unless they manufactured the cannons outside of Inazuma and then directly transported them to their current location..."

It seems theoretically feasible?

It seems that it is indeed feasible.

If the Fatui's teleportation accuracy and delivery quality are even higher than they realize.

Ayato Kamisato's voice grew softer and softer until he fell silent.

"After eliminating all wrong options, even the most impossible option is correct."

Iwasaki Masashi quoted a famous line from a Fontaine mystery novel with some emotion.

"I'll have the final chapter investigate. Mr. Iwasaki, excuse me."

Ayato Kamisato apologized and quickly left the room.

As for Ayato Kamisato, he knew more and considered more, combined with the accurate intelligence about the front lines on Hachimonjima sent by Masashi Iwasaki.

He could hardly imagine what the fools would have to give to get Kujo Takayuki to act in this way.

And what will they gain?

What shady deal did the Fools make with Kujo Takayuki to cause this situation?

Thinking of those people in the photos being carried away on stretchers, where did the Shogunate army get such a huge hospital and corresponding doctors to provide treatment?

Where were these people sent? What will they face next?

Has Kujo Takayuki almost sold all of Inazuma's wives?!

Soon, with the full efforts of the final episode, one by one, overlooked "little things" were unearthed.

Everything suggests that this matter may have been in the planning stages for more than half a month.

At that time, Kujo Masahiro was investigating the shogunate army's false reporting.

Ayato Kamisato secretly had the final chapters send him a lot of information, and sat on the sidelines watching the infighting within the Tenryo Magistrate's office.

Things like these, if you don't investigate, it's fine, but once you do, it's really hard to stand the investigation. Once you start investigating, you'll find a whole string of clues, all the way back to the powerful and influential people who follow the Heavenly Order.

And that's it.

Kujo Masahito's actions were abruptly halted.

After a stern reprimand, Kujo Takayuki and his troops were withdrawn to the rear at Kujo Jinya, where they were replaced by a "ragtag army" that had not been well-regarded in the past.

Although they were both part of the shogunate army, they were no match for the elite troops personally led by Kujo Masahiro; they were in complete disarray.
