Genshin Impact: My roommate and I became funny Hilichurls

Page 44

"Simulated warfare?!"

The sound of Beidou instantly rose eight octaves.

"Yes, it was... uh, a very realistic 'exercise'."

Er Kang added with a dry laugh.

"But don't worry! None of you are really hurt! It's all an illusion!"

Manyo: "..."

Beidou: “…”

Scattered soldier: "...You bunch of bastards!!!"

He suddenly broke free from under the Hill Cow Ranger's buttocks, his body crackling with lightning, looking ready to fight the four to the death.

But the Hill Climber was quick enough to grab him by the back of the neck, leaving the skirmisher only able to rage helplessly.

------

Beidou's single eye widened, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists: "So you waged an unequal war just to get the two armies to join forces?!"

Her voice echoed on the beach.

"I've been stabbed seventeen times!"

"To be precise, there are sixteen."

Er Kang corrected him carefully.

"The last two spears were aimed at your chest, but they didn't pierce through."

"You son of a bitch—"

"Boss, calm down!"

Manyo held tightly to the enraged Hokuto.

"You can't beat them! And they'll come back to life!"

This sentence is like pressing the pause button.

Hokuto turned to look at the distance—Goro was touching his unharmed neck, his dog ears pressed tightly against his scalp from lingering fear.

Coral Palace Heart Sea's folding fan snapped shut: "So... those fallen soldiers..."

"They're all here~"

Qingyu opened an exquisite wooden box with a grin.

Inside, hundreds of chess pieces are neatly arranged, and in each piece you can see the figure of a miniature soldier, some of which are angrily pounding the inner wall.

The shogun's general's lips twitched: "Even my own samurai..."

"of course!"

Gu Qian scratched his head with a simple and honest expression.

“We were very fair; both sides resurrected the same number.”

Zhang Chu cleared his throat: "So, let's get back to the main topic—"

He looked at Shinkai and the general of the Shogunate army.

"Having gone through life and death together, are you two willing to try to coexist peacefully?"

The armor of the Shogunate general creaked under the strain.

He recalled the soldiers torn to pieces on the battlefield, the desperate roar of the stragglers when the Waterwalking Hill Claw shattered the Evil Eye, and finally bowed his head in despair: "...I will try to persuade the Heavenly Envoy, but don't expect much. I won't be able to say much there."

"Coral Palace?"

Xin Hai's gaze swept over the wounded resistance soldiers behind him.

The most radical generals were now bowing their heads—one captain who had previously clamored for "fighting to the death" was now huddled up in a ball, trembling.

"Haigishima Island...accepts peace talks."

She spoke softly, then looked up as if suddenly remembering something.

"But the Eye-Hunting Order and the Isolation Order..."

"We'll take care of that reclusive female general."

Er Kang patted his chest and assured him.

"It'll be a good opportunity for her to stretch her muscles."

The stragglers suddenly sneered: "You think you can take me on?"

The Hill Climber silently drew his Waterblade.

"...I didn't say anything."

The stragglers silently retreated into the shadows.

Zhang Chu clapped his hands.

"Now that a consensus has been reached—"

He snapped his fingers, and the Wolf King's breastplate opened, sending countless points of light flying into the distance.

"It's time for the pieces to 'return in triumph'."

That evening, when the "fallen" soldiers returned to their respective camps unharmed, they were thrown into chaos.

Some called it a miracle, others called it sorcery, but everyone remembered one fact:

On the battlefield of Nashiina, the Shogunate army and the resistance army... did indeed fight side by side.

------

The ground in front of the castle tower suddenly trembled, and the twenty-meter-tall silver-white mech landed with a thud, the shockwave blowing the carefully trimmed pine and cypress trees askew.

The elite troops of Ottoman instantly formed ranks, their spears gleaming coldly as they aimed at the uninvited guests.

"Halt! This is the General's residence!"

The leading Austrian general shouted sternly.

Er Kang lazily tossed a deep blue chess piece: "Water Knight, play with them."

The moment the chess piece landed, a ghostly blue figure appeared.

Before the Ottomans could even blink, the Water Ranger had already appeared at the rear of the army.

Its slow, deliberate sheathing of its sword was perfectly synchronized with the sound of hundreds of elite soldiers collapsing to their knees behind it.

Erkang caught the chess piece that flew back and blew off non-existent dust.

The four of them stepped over the haphazardly placed Okuzaki and swaggered toward the main gate of the castle tower.

The heavy vermilion gate opened automatically, as if welcoming its owner's return.

Chapter 45 Beating Up Thor

The atmosphere inside the castle tower was somber.

Qingyu held an exaggeratedly shaped spear, with a small flag bearing the word "Victory is Certain" hanging from its tip. He cleared his throat and solemnly said:

"Finally, I've met you... General Thunder."

General Thunder slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his purple pupils: "A talking Hilichurl?"

She stood up, her slender fingers gripping the Nagikusa Inahi, lightning crackling along its blade: "You are the exception, and the exception is the eternal enemy..."

"I will build you into idols!"

Before he finished speaking, General Thunder had already transformed into a purple lightning bolt and instantly approached the group of four!

Gu Qian pulled out a metal baseball bat from somewhere and hit a home run with perfect accuracy. General Raiden was sent flying backward, and a large hole was smashed through the wall of the castle tower!

Er Kang whistled.

General Thunder tumbled several times in the air, barely managing to steady herself, but before she could adjust her posture, a huge black shadow was already approaching—

Wolf King delivered a spinning kick in mid-air, and Thunder General crashed back to the ground like a cannonball. The floor of the castle tower cracked inch by inch, and the entire building collapsed with a roar!

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, General Thunder was just about to stand up—

"Hold her down!"

The four of them pounced on him instantly!

Erkang grabbed a folding stool and smacked General Leidian on the back of the head: "I'll teach you to build idols! I'll teach you to build idols!"

Gu Qian swung his baseball bat, aiming it at General Lei Dian's knee: "Eternity, is it? Eternity, is it?"

Zhang Chu's lightning hammer crackled as he pounded it, yelling, "Serves you right for issuing the Eye Hunt Order! Serves you right for implementing the isolationist policy! If you don't have a brain, don't play politics!"

Qingyu wielded his nunchucks with ferocious power: "We're the exception? We're the exception?!"

General Raiden was pinned to the ground, while Inako Nagigusa had long since vanished. She gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing with lightning: "You... how dare you..."

"Still dare to talk back?!"

The four-man group became even more ruthless.

------

In the distance, Ying and Paimon hid behind the ruins, staring in disbelief at the scene.

Paimon: "Shouldn't we...shouldn't we do something about this?"

Ying: "...I think we'd better pretend we didn't see it."

Paimon: "But, but General Thunder is getting beaten up!"

Ying: "...How about we cheer her on?"

Paimon: “???”

------

Finally, General Thunder's struggles grew weaker and weaker, until he collapsed to the ground, motionless.
