Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 323
Qingcezhuang, although it is called a mountain villa, is actually a village located in the northernmost part of Liyue, hidden between hills and bamboo forests.

The most famous scenery is of course the half-moon-shaped terraced fields in warm sunshine. When the mountain wind blows, you can see layers of orange-red and light-gold waves. Although it is not as bustling and lively as Liyue Port, as long as you have been to this place, you will be impressed by its uniqueness. Infected by the atmosphere.

Especially on rainy days, make a cup of hot tea in the pavilion, listen to the sound of rain falling on the eaves, and look at the distant mountains in the rain in the sunset.

Because most of the young people have gone to more prosperous places or Liyue Port to work hard, so most of the Liyue residents staying in Qingcezhuang are old people and children.

Although the Qianyan Army arranged by Qixing is stationed here, there are not many of them. Apart from dealing with the occasional monsters, the main duty is to regulate the relationship between neighbors.

After all, there is only one way in and out of Qingcezhuang. The monsters who tried to harass the intruders were blocked outside the stone gate early on. Dihuazhou was even guarded by the Great Sage of Subduing Demons. , Tianshuxing even wanted to withdraw the Qianyan army in the village.

After all, who would be so blind to come to Qingcezhuang to make trouble?
When it comes to Chi, one has to talk about the origin of Qingcezhuang.

Chi is a dragon-shaped monster. Qingce Mountain used to be Chi's lair. The word Qingce was pronounced Chi in the mouth of Liyue's ancestors in the barbaric era.

Legend has it that during the War of Demon Gods, the emperor subdued the Chilong, but he could not completely defeat its body, so he had to carve out a large number of rock statues to suppress the remaining power of the Chilong.

Thousands of years later, the scales that fell from the battle between the dragon and the emperor turned into terraced fields, and the blood dripped from the wound turned into water, which nourished the unique chi blood wood in Qingcezhuang. Qingcezhuang is surrounded by mountains with high mountains and deep valleys. The natural landscape also comes from this.

But the peaceful and peaceful village at this moment is about to experience the ravages of war.

The first thing to notice was the watchtower at the top of Qingce Mountain. The two Qianyan soldiers on duty felt a slight vibration from the ground under their feet, and immediately picked up the binoculars and looked around.

It seems that a blood-red monster is moving rapidly on the ridgeline of Wuwangpo.

The two guards hurriedly blew the whistle for the monster invasion.

Several outposts not far away responded immediately, and the sharp whistling sounds gradually became louder. The sleeping residents of Qingcezhuang were also awakened, and ran out of the house in a daze. Neighbors asked each other what happened. The cries were mixed with the panicked shouts of the residents.

The moon and starry sky were suddenly covered by dark clouds, and the rising water vapor condensed to the point of dripping. Occasionally, a thunderbolt appeared in the sky, shining brightly under the dark clouds in an instant. After a while, I heard the cloud The thunder in the room sounded like a rock dragon roaring.

Heavy rain is coming.

The old people who knew the meaning of the police sentry lit their lanterns and led their grandchildren to the meeting booth in Qingce Village. They wanted to go to Grandma Ruoxin, who was in charge of Qingce Village, to ask for details.

In the end, dozens of villagers from Qingce Village gathered together, and even Chang Jiuye, who lived alone on the cliff far away from Qingce terraced fields, appeared outside the meeting hall.

"Village Chief, the Qianyan Army has sounded the whistle!"

"There has never been a monster invasion in Qingcezhuang. Could it be that the Qianyan army stationed there is wrong."

"Grandma Ruoxin, Ayou is afraid..."

Residents' inquiries, quarrels, children's cries and yells broke into Ruo Xin's ears together with the whistling whistle, making the elderly steward dizzy.

But she still tried her best to shoulder the responsibilities that she should be in charge of, and comforted the children whose parents left Qing Ce.

"The Qianyan army stationed tonight has not reported yet. I have asked Ah Zhi to go to the outpost to inquire. Everyone, please stay safe."

Seeing Grandma Ruoxin's calm appearance, everyone seemed to have taken reassurance. They each comforted their children and sat down in search of chairs, but Chang Jiuye, who was determined to get ahead, still paced back and forth in front of the Senado.

Time passed slowly, and the torrential rain that had been brewing for a long time poured down in the sky, making the already anxious villagers even more nervous.

On the watchtower at the height of Qingce Village, a dozen soldiers of the Qianyan Army who rushed over looked pale at the bloody wave approaching at the end of the horizon.

This is not an ordinary monster, it is clearly a well-trained army.

Thousands of enemy troops are marching towards the watchtower, and the boiling elemental force is stirring. Even ordinary people like Jinglun can feel the majestic momentum and strong bloody smell coming.

The visitor is not good.

Soldiers of the Qianyan Army with better eyesight can already see the flame patterns engraved on the heavy armor of the opposing army, as well as the footprints left by the horseshoes on the grass. The rumbling thunder in the sky is more like Playing music for this unstoppable army formation, the soldiers at the front of the formation waved flag guns, and they could vaguely see some kind of red totem.

"This is...heavily armored cavalry! How is it possible..."

Among the Qianyan Army stationed at Qingcezhuang, the highest-ranking squadron leader Jinglun stared at the attacking army formation in shock, muttering to himself, a huge sense of powerlessness swept over him, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and it was difficult to move even a little bit. .

After Jinglun joined the Qianyan Army, he has experienced countless battles with monsters. Now he has just entered middle age, his beard and hair are gray and his body is not as good as before due to long-term and fierce battles.

Master Ningguang sympathized with his achievements, and transferred Jinglun to Qingce Village with beautiful environment and few monsters.

But no one could have predicted that a heavy armored cavalry army that only appeared in the training manual of the Qianyan Army would suddenly appear on the land of Liyue, which was blessed by the emperor.

What country is this army from?Does Lord Ningguang know about this?Why did they attack Qingce Village?
Jinglun thinks quickly, but the enemy is approaching, and the more important thing right now is how to get the residents of Qingcezhuang to evacuate safely.

"Hua Qing, go and inform Village Chief Ruoxin to get all the people to gather and evacuate as soon as possible, and head towards Tianheng Mountain. The sooner the situation is critical, the better, and then let the remaining Qianyan Army come to me to gather immediately."

"Ayang, Yunjiang, this is the key, go and light the beacon of Qingce Village."

"rhubarb……"

Jinglun tried his best to calm down his tone, and quickly assigned tasks to the Qianyan Army under his jurisdiction, but when he called the youngest soldier in the army, Rhubarb, he suddenly stopped.

"With the battle report, you return to Liyue Port by water and boat, and report the situation to Tianshu and Lord Ningguang."

"Anyone who is the only child in the family will return to Liyue with Rhubarb."

"The rest of you, join me in guarding Qingcezhuang!"

After saying that, Jinglun turned and returned to the watchtower, intending to rely on the building for defense, but found that all the young Qianyan soldiers who received the retreat order stood still, looking at him with red eyes.

"I'm old. I knew it when the transfer order was issued. Although Lord Ningguang didn't say it, I can see it."

Jinglun was silent for a moment, then climbed up the tower, and took down a dusty horn from the wooden frame at the top of the building.

"You are still young and have more important things to do."

After a short sigh, Jing Lun brushed the dust off the horn, took a breath, and blew his lips towards the whistle.

The desolate and distant horn sounded far away, echoing in the valley and terraced fields of Qingce Village.

This is the charge horn for the decisive battle of the Qianyan Army.

"Thousands of rocks are solid, and the peaks will not move."

The Qianyan army who was assigned to the task slammed the butt of their guns on the ground, saluted Jinglun, and went to complete the task separately.

In the meeting booth of Qingce Village, the gathered villagers also heard the sound of sobbing horns.

Before the anxious villagers could react, Grandma Ruoxin's turbid pupils suddenly flashed a bit of panic, and she eagerly led the crowd to evacuate outside the village despite the heavy rain.
