Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

Without further hesitation, disregarding any punishment, he turned in a panic and ran deep into the military camp, shouting, "Enemy attack!"

Lin Jiu'an did not chase after him, but stood still with the purple knife in his hand.

The soldier behind him, whose heart had been pierced, lay on the ground, his body still trembling. His blood, as if drawn by something, was drawn into the sword through the wound, and then transformed into pure life force that flowed into Lin Jiu'an's body.

This is an ability he awakened after absorbing the life force of countless people during his previous massacre at the Coral Palace.

As long as a wound is left on the other person, their life force will be continuously drained.

Even with just a small, ordinary opening, he could drain an ordinary person dry from a distance of tens or hundreds of meters, if he wanted to.

Those who possess the "Eye of God" will also have their combat power greatly weakened.

If you don't leave his vicinity for a long time, you will be sucked dry and turned into a dried corpse.

Only by reaching the level of an executive officer can one suppress the loss of life force, but this will also reduce combat power.

in contrast.

However, he will maintain his best condition as life force surges in, and he can even burn his life force to "burst out".

And smelling the bloody scent in the breeze.

Listen to that painful 'hoarse' sound.

He felt the pure life force flowing into his body like silk threads along the sword, warming his limbs and bones.

Watching the soldiers flee in panic.

Lin Jiu'an took a deep breath, feeling the cool island breeze carrying the scent of blood, and opened his arms as if embracing the military camp filled with countless 'dead men' in front of him, or as if embracing the starry night sky.

"Yes, that's the feeling."

prior to.

Although he had the upper hand verbally in his battle with Balzeb in "Pure Land of One Heart," he was actually being constantly suppressed. Ultimately, it was Balzeb's home turf, and he only managed to stab him in the back at the end.

This made him very unhappy.

This gave him the feeling that in his past life he had been treated like a dog, constantly being walked and played with.

And now, several months later?

Or perhaps a few years, or decades?

all in all.

Holding the "Dream of One Heart," and slaughtering these overconfident Inazuma soldiers right in front of the sword-wielding Balzeb, Lin Jiu'an finally remembered the days when he was a beast, a powerful figure before entering the "Pure Land of One Heart."

"It's wonderful."

······

Chinese military tent.

The tent was brightly lit at that moment.

Apart from a few officers who stayed behind to guard against night attacks on the Coral Palace, most of the high-ranking officers in the army were gathered here.

The group drank and made merry, with the woman they had snatched in their arms.

Although they weren't as beautiful as the wives, concubines, maids, and dancers in the Inazuma household, their cowering, fearful yet carefully serving manner was quite amusing.

"To the general!"

Kujo Masahito smiled, raised his glass, and took a small sip.

Although he disliked drinking while on campaign, it was not easy to prohibit such behavior in the army.

People risk their lives, fighting tooth and nail, and women and alcohol are always within their grasp.

Although they brought back many local women from Inazuma Island along the way to serve as camp prostitutes, the supply still couldn't meet the demand given the large number of soldiers. As for alcohol, although it would lead to a reduction in the already insufficient food supply due to the "isolation order" and cause the people to go hungry, that was something that other officials needed to consider.

As the commander of the army under the Heavenly Command, he only needed to consider the military aspects.

As long as you don't get drunk, it's fine.

now.

Although the Coral Palace has not yet been conquered, the entire island of Haiqi has fallen. The Coral Palace is now besieged by his army, and there are only a few hundred remnants of the army and some priestesses inside.

If it weren't for the fact that the Coral Palace is situated on a high ground, with huge corals blocking the way, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, and that the Coral Palace is ultimately a follower of the Demon God, and that the Coral Palace's own mind is exceptionally resourceful, there would be concerns about unforeseen complications.

He could have easily overwhelmed the Coral Palace with his superior forces long ago.

all in all.

The overall situation is already decided; the fall of Coral Palace is only a matter of time.

Not to mention.

They also had General Thunder watching them from behind.

Not to mention Lin Jiu'an, who has vanished without a trace and whose whereabouts are unknown.

Even if gods from other countries intervened, they couldn't turn the tide of the war. He had nothing to worry about; he only needed to consider the post-war rewards. He could even have a drink with his men without any problem.

"When the Coral Palace is breached, all its people and treasures will be handed over to you to deal with."

The strategy of encircling and attacking them had already been discussed in the central command tent a few days ago.

This banquet seemed more like a prelude to a casual gathering, where soldiers would be dispatched to various parts of Haiqi Island to suppress riots, and the banquet was simply a way to share the credit ahead of time.

"I only want Coral Palace Heart Sea and that woman named Hokuto," Kujo Masahito said calmly, a fiery glint in his eyes.

The Coral Palace and the Heart Sea need not be mentioned.

Outstanding in strategy.

He had suffered a lot in the past, which made him irritable but also quite admirable.

He often had women impersonate American soldiers when he was at a disadvantage.

Most importantly, she is beautiful.

She is comparable to Ayaka Kamisato, who can be considered the most beautiful woman in Inazuma.

In addition, his father, Kujo Takayuki, and his younger brother, Kujo Kamaji, both believed that they could "turn the tables on him".

Anyway, the Kanding Fengxing (a government office responsible for the investigation and rectification of the imperial court) has been destroyed.

General Lei Dian again refused to allow either of them to take over the power to survey and implement the decrees.

Why not just go along with that rumor and let Coral Palace Xin Hai really become the "Fourth Envoy"? And he, the general in charge of the army, could then either coerce or entice Coral Palace Xin Hai into becoming his woman after capturing her. At that time, the Coral Palace family would also be the Envoy of Heaven.

Just like his good younger brother Kujo Kamaji and Hiiragi Chisato, the only daughter of the Kansei Magistrate, were 'mutually in love'.

By then.

If his younger brother, the next head of the Kujo family, Kujo Kamaji, manages to marry Kamisato Ayaka, then the Inatsuma Shogunate will be completely under the control of the Kujo family.

Coral Palace's desire for Xin Hai can be attributed to a combination of personal ambition and family ties.

Then Beidou was purely for personal gain.

Kujo Masahito was quite fond of that powerful yet beautiful and sexy woman, who was like a Valkyrie. Compared to the frail and delicate girl like Sango Mikoto, who might cry and fuss at any moment, he was more interested in this kind of strong and sexy woman.

Moreover, he is incredibly powerful, capable of fighting even Kujo Sara.

This would also be a good opportunity to help the Kujo family.

"General!"

Just as everyone was clinking glasses and getting slightly tipsy, discussing how to divide the priestess's treasure and reward those who had contributed to the destruction of the Coral Palace, a soldier suddenly rushed in in a panic.

"General, something terrible has happened!"

"A night attack!"

Kujo Masahito's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "How many men? What's the situation?"

"First, there is one person whose situation is still unclear."

Suddenly.

The officers, who had been mostly sober from the shock, all looked at the messenger with expressions that said, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Why are you making such a fuss about someone who's all alone?

Human resources are ultimately limited.

Except for the gods.

Even the most powerful "Eye of God" would be defeated in the face of a well-trained army.

Just like Kujo Sara in the past, and Hokuto and Kei in the present, even with their powerful "eyes of the gods," they can only influence the course of local wars, but cannot change the outcome of the war.

Kujo Masahito hadn't thought that far ahead.

He thought of Lin Jiu'an.

That man who is like a god of death, yet has not appeared yet.

He assumed that the other party was afraid of General Thunder and had fled from Inazuma like a stray dog.

They heard that someone actually dared to attack the camp.

Kujo Masahito immediately thought of this god of death who had single-handedly wiped out the Kansei Magistrate and massacred the Umijima rebels. His hand clenched for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.

It's not Lin Jiu'an.

Then there's no need for this general to go to the front lines in person.

Ordinary users of the Eye of God can rely on the soldiers in the army to form battle formations and the other users of the Eye of God to block them.

On the contrary, if he were to go out, he would be putting himself in danger, and if something were to happen, it would cause chaos in the military camp, which is not the behavior of a general.

But if it is the latter.

He was even less able to go out.

If the other party is killing people, then let him kill. When he has killed enough, General Thunder will naturally take action.

If I go out myself, I can attract the attention of General Thunder before he makes a move.

That would mean dying for nothing.

Exposing the other party's identity could also cause unrest within the military.

Even if we kill him, Coral Palace's Xin Hai might seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack amidst the chaos.

after all.

Although General Lei Dian agreed to take action against Lin Jiu'an.

But He would absolutely not attack the soldiers of the Coral Palace Heart Sea and the Sea God Island.

"He's just a fool who's going to his death. What's with all the fuss?"

Kujo Masahiro feigned impatience and said, "Just surround and kill them."

"Don't make a fuss unless it's something serious. You're delaying our drinking. Get out of here."

After the messenger left the tent, a slightly tipsy Kujo Masahito waved his hand.

"It's nothing, everyone, don't panic. Come on, let's continue the music and the dancing."

······

The military camp, which was originally pitch black and only lit by a few scattered torches, is now brightly lit.

However, even the brightest light has its darkest places.

Soldiers wielding long spears formed a semi-circle, nervously watching the dark land ahead, untouched by the firelight.

The screams, pleas for mercy, the sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh, the sounds of fleeing and bloodshed—it was like an execution ground in a dark dungeon, terrifying and mysterious.

After an unknown amount of time, all sounds disappeared, plunging the place into an eerie silence.

Fear spread through the soldiers' hearts.

'Tap.' 'Tap.'

Sudden.

Light footsteps echoed from the darkness.
