Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

To some extent, this is similar to the "crime camp" organization of the Shogunate army.

Even the final battle didn't take this ragtag army seriously, believing that it posed little threat to the "largely expanded Sea Spirit Army without new weapons," and that assigning too many people to it would be a waste of human resources.

At the time, they all thought that the Heavenly Lord had compromised and had tacitly agreed to give up the entire Bayun Island. So they sent a ragtag army as cannon fodder to die, and that they would just put up a symbolic resistance to save face for the Heavenly Lord.

But now it seems that this is clearly not the case.

Chapter 144 Guess

However, although the final chapter has clarified the course of events, it still cannot further understand the specific situation on Hachiyū Island.

Kujo Takayuki could be said to have fooled everyone.

South of Musou no Blade: Hazama, the area has become a battlefield between the two sides since the Sangokiya organization withdrew from Hishiki Village, and there are no civilians left.

The only source of information for the final battle is the shogunate army currently stationed here. This source of information was already weak, and now it has been completely cut off.

It is now almost certain that the Fools were involved.

Given the level of the Tenryo Registry, even if the power of the Last Soldier is weak, it is not something they can solve or control. In Inazuma, the only organization that can directly confront the Last Soldier is the Fatui.

Their intentions remain unknown.

Ayato Kamisato went to see Takayuki Kujo, but the latter pretended to be stupid the whole time, knowing nothing about the matter, and when the war was mentioned, he acted as if it were perfectly normal.

Left with no other option, Ayato Kamisato began instructing the Last Shot to thoroughly investigate the Fatui Clan's organization, hoping to make some progress.

The two sides launched a new round of espionage within Inazuma territory.

The progress that had been investigated was then packaged up and sent back to the Coral Palace.

Several days had passed since the two sides began their artillery battle.

The Haiji Army has deployed more artillery, including 105mm howitzers that have been urgently commissioned.

Surprisingly, the elemental cannons on the Shogunate's side seem to be replenished. After each attack, they would quiet down for a while and then become active again, without diminishing in the many days since.

The Sea Spirit Army repeatedly dispatched numerous small units to infiltrate and reconnoiter, attempting to locate the Shogunate Army's warehouses or teleportation points. However, not every unit was as lucky as the Swordfish Assault Team.

"Bang bang..."

For example, right now, a small team encountered an attack by a Shogunate army in the mountains, and the two sides engaged in a firefight at a distance of about 100 meters.

Yes, a firefight.

The Shogunate army had also entered the era of firearms.

Although they were still wearing the purple armor that was the Shogunate army was known for, they were actually carrying real guns.

"This guy, he's really improved since I last saw him."

The squad leader hid behind cover, quietly observing the weapons in the hands of the Shogunate army.

The distance was too far, so all that could be seen was that it was similar in height to the muskets in the hands of the musket guerrillas. However, this time the ammunition fired by the weapon no longer had any fire element attached to it. Instead, it was basically the same as the weapon in their hands, relying on the kinetic energy of the bullets to kill.

The bullets no longer fly as slowly as before; now, the bullets of this weapon fly at extremely high speeds, and they simply don't have time to dodge them.

Fortunately, judging from the effect of the shots hitting the cover, the power was significantly weaker than the weapons they had.

"We need to think of a way to get rid of them quickly. If we delay, a large force of the Shogunate army will arrive, and then it will be difficult for us to escape. Their tactical skills are very poor. Let them come over and make them leave their cover!"

As the squad leader gave the order, the gunfire gradually subsided.

The shogunate army squad leader, who was organizing the firing on the opposite side, couldn't help but smile as he heard the gunfire gradually thinning out.

"These idiots, what's the use of firing fast? They're out of ammo! Brothers, charge!"

The shogunate army squads began their charge.

In just a short time, he had already run almost half of the 100-meter distance.

"beat!"

"There's an ambush! Stop immediately!"

It's too late.

Automatic rifle bullets veered towards the charging Shogunate troops.

However, something unexpected happened again, and soon bright spots appeared in front of these shogunate soldiers.

Every single bullet fired was blocked.

Those bright spots are the marks left by bullets hitting the barrier.

"Huh? They also have elemental shields?"

The team members were briefly stunned.

I heard that the guy who came to assassinate us last time with the Eye of the Water God couldn't withstand more than a few of their bullets. The Fatui's wind fist thing couldn't withstand more than a few shots either. How come this group's elemental shields are so strong?

Is this the same model as those used on the artillery positions?

"Use a grenade!"

The squad leader reacted immediately.

Someone was hit by a bullet from the Shogunate army while throwing grenades. The impact knocked him backward, but he quickly got up from the ground again.

"Huh? They have shields too?"

This time, it was the members of the Shogunate army squad who were bewildered.

What happened? They definitely hit them!

However, this was the last question they would ever have in their lives.

Amidst the deafening explosions, their shields were torn apart, and those who weren't wiped out by the grenades were met with a hail of bullets.

The captain of the Sea Spirit Army looked up and saw that the shogunate army captain who had previously ordered "Charge!" had turned and run away.

They didn't linger, stripping the equipment off the bodies on the ground, intending to take it back to investigate.

For them, this was quite a fruitful experience.

"Are you okay?"

The squad leader looked at the man who had been hit earlier, and saw him pick up a deformed bullet from the ground.

"It's okay, I was lucky, I managed to block it."

Due to the large-scale use of artillery by the Shogunate army, and considering the possibility of unforeseen changes, front-line troops have recently begun to be urgently issued bulletproof vests.

Even without Kevlar, a hard body armor made from excellent materials is still usable.

As it turned out, they actually ran into each other, and the Shogunate army was indeed equipped with firearms.

"Take your things and let's get out of here quickly."

After the squad returned, the captured equipment was quickly taken to the rear for testing and analysis.

The research results further convinced them that this was a good deed done by a mob of fools.

A semi-elemental, semi-automatic rifle powered by the Evil Eye.

The Fools seem to have adopted their kinetic attack strategy, but they did not master their gunpowder technology, so they used black powder combined with fire elemental power.

The gun still needs to be powered by the Evil Eye.

However, it did achieve considerable power. Although it was slightly inferior to them, it was significantly stronger than ordinary black powder. At the same time, its rate of fire and bullet velocity were extremely fast. Compared with the previous elemental muskets, it was at least much more lethal to humans.

The barriers that could stop bullets were also analyzed.

The design does indeed draw inspiration from facilities like "barriers," featuring a unique energy circuit that operates through mechanical devices, significantly improving energy utilization efficiency compared to simple elemental shields.

The fact that it can be used on individual soldiers is also thanks to them; high-energy batteries and the Evil Eye work together to provide the energy for this "barrier".

Moreover, compared to the evil eye they seized last time, this evil eye seems to be somewhat different, and may have undergone some improvements, but their current level of expertise is not enough to analyze the specific changes.

This inevitably reminded Jiang Ming of the doctor.

The Evil Eye was his masterpiece. Now, could these things, which are centered around the Evil Eye and incorporate the ideas of their Sea Spirit Island, also be something the Doctor created?

This is combined with the news from Inazuma Castle that there is no hospital there.

What about those wounded who don't have access to hospitals...?

Jiang Ming had a bad feeling about it.

Chapter 145: Arms Race

After several days of intermittent probing attacks, the Haiji army had roughly figured out the details of this peculiar shogunate army.

The equipment has indeed become quite good, but their tactical skills and fighting spirit are far inferior to those of the former Shogunate army.

The reason he can use his weapon so well is due to two things: his physical abilities and his Evil Eye.

According to the prisoners, they had no idea about the effects of the Evil Eye. Although there were often backlashes during training, they thought it was just a normal reaction to physical exhaustion and that they would be fine after resting.

As for anything else, they didn't know either.

Based on this situation, Jiang Ming and his team assessed the situation and began to mobilize more troops, preparing to take over the entire Bayun Island directly.

At that time, they will be facing each other around the Nashiina Beach, saving them the trouble of dealing with the direction of Musou-no-Rin-hazama.

Even if we look at the current shelling locations, the Shogunate army intended to avoid damaging the factory, but bombing it every now and then and causing panic, how can the factory operate?

The attitude of the Tianling Envoy is also very interesting. On the one hand, they launched an attack without prior notice, and on the other hand, bilateral trade has not been affected at all. Food and minerals are still in supply, and trade in industrial products is also continuing.

Neither side mentioned trade.

Although the armies were fighting fiercely, the caravans remained unchanged.

To want both is to be something else entirely.

This is very abnormal because it lacks the necessary motivation.

Ultimately, suspicions about the Fools deepened.

It is almost certain that they not only provided a wide variety of equipment, but also planned this operation.
