Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 326: Crossing the Clear Water Plain

This cave still has traces of artificial decoration. Although the stone steps are broken, there are still several extinguished torches standing on both sides of the road, and there are many murals that have lost their color.

The cave was terribly quiet, and even the noise of the children was a little weaker. They hid behind the elder curiously and looked around.

"Xiao Chang, don't go any further."

Chang Jiuye held a torch and walked in the front to lead the way for the villagers, but Grandma Ruoxin on Hua Qing's back suddenly spoke, which made Chang Jiuye tremble.

The evacuated villagers found that they seemed to have stepped into a relatively wide circular cave, and there were many amber-like crystals on the surrounding stone walls.

There are several forged iron gates deep in the cave. Although the arm-thin railings are already rusty, they still cannot be shaken by brute force.

I can vaguely see the glimmer of light coming from the end of the cave, but I can't see it clearly.

Hearing this, Master Chang Jiu, who was wearing a faded robe, asked the villagers to stop and rest where they were, while he ran to the gate to look inside.

With the help of Ah Zhi, the muddy Hua Qing placed Ruo Xin on a flat stone seat with great effort, and then the little girl checked the old man's eyes.

No way, Ah Zhi is the only doctor in Qingcezhuang who is proficient in herbal medicine.

"It's just that the eyes are blinded by the rain mixed with gunpowder smoke. Wash it with clean water and rest for a while."

Ah Zhi took the water bag from her waist and carefully washed Ruo Xin's eyes, while Hua Qing helped the villagers who entered the cave light the bonfire and took care of the frightened children.

The old people who survived the catastrophe moved quietly, their eyes flashed with joy, sadness, fear, fatigue or bewilderment, but as the villagers' mood stabilized a little, some people raised new questions.

Their ancestors have lived in Qingcezhuang for generations, but they have never heard of this hidden cave.

Looking at Village Chief Ruoxin, he seemed to have known the place under the waterfall for a long time, and was quite familiar with it.

"This is where the emperor suppressed Chilong."

"In order to seal Chi's remains and prevent it from causing harm to the world, the emperor sealed Chi's remains with water, and sealed it in the center of the secret treasure with treasure..."

After Ah Zhi's treatment, Grandma Ruoxin was able to see the surrounding environment clearly, she sighed slowly and explained to the villagers.

At the same time, Munata's cavalry troops also came to the suspension bridge next to the terraced fields.

As the god in charge of war, strength, fire, killing, and skill, Famas had already seen the direction of the villagers' evacuation, but he did not choose to catch up.

I also know that these women, children and children in Qingcezhuang are irrelevant.

The most important thing is to arrive at Liyue Port as soon as possible.

According to the conventional marching route, if you want to attack Liyue, you need to enter Dihuazhou from Shimen, pass by Wangshu Inn, go to Guiliyuan, and finally enter from the bridge at the entrance of Liyue Port.

But if you attack according to this plan, you may be blocked by countless enemies.

Leaving aside Dihua Island's Demon Conquering Great Sage Mandrill, Wangshu Inn's hidden masters and Qianyan Army, even if the road is smooth, it will take two full days for the heavy armored cavalry to reach Liyue.

This is when the cavalry are already in the form of souls, and there is no need to consider supplies, counterweights, and replacement of horses.

In the Wangshu Inn tonight, Zhonglizhi sent Mandrill to Qunyu Pavilion to deliver information, and Famas saw the move of taking out the God's Heart in advance.

It can be predicted without using the authority of the gods that if you enter Liyue through the road, it will be a difficult battle waiting for Farmas.

What's more, the cavalry used their soul strength in exchange for strength. After a round of charge just now, Famas found that their bodies were a little more illusory.

Liyue Port must be captured as soon as possible.

Vikas led his troops to wade across the terraced fields under the suspension bridge, directly through the bamboo forest, and arrived at the pier of the Bishui River outside Qingce Village.

In addition to mooring fishing boats, there are many civilian ships transporting daily necessities for Qingcezhuang on the wet wharf.

Since the Bishui River is an inland river, the ships transporting supplies cannot enter Yunlaihai, so they can only resupply at Wangshu Inn and Guiliyuan, so the draft is not deep and the load is limited.

"end!"

"Order the whole army to dismount and repair on the spot."

Famas raised his hand to order, and the thousand-strong team ordered and dismounted.

Vikas Arjuna inserted the flag gun into the stone, came to Famas, reported in a low voice the battle situation during the charge just now, strung up the collected armbands of the Qianyan Army, and handed them to Famas on horseback s.

"Your Majesty, we beheaded 16 people from Guiliji Qianyan Regiment, 15 ordinary soldiers and one officer."

Vikas still used the name he had given to the Qianyan Army thousands of years ago, but Famas didn't correct him, took the armband silently, and tied it to the side of the horse armor.

A gust of wind blew, and the red king's flag shook suddenly in the wind, making a loud noise.

Famas stared at the dozen or so ships on the Clear Water River and the thunderous sky, wondering what he was thinking.

The cavalry who received the order to rest in place habitually touched the water bottle at their waist, wanting to replenish the water consumed during the long-distance raid.

But when they touched their waists, they suddenly realized that they were no longer human beings, they no longer needed to eat, and they no longer feared heat and cold.

There is no need to even wipe the weapons and straighten the armor. The power obtained from the evil eye by burning the soul is enough to make the armor unbreakable and the spear always sharp.

"Vikas, let the cavalry form a hundred men, disperse the horses, and board the ship."

"Go down the Bishui River and head towards Luhuachi."

A few minutes later, Famas' second order came.

The horses condensed by the dark elemental force dispersed, the cavalry turned into infantry formations, and more than a thousand people were broken into pieces. They boarded the ship that was originally used to transport daily necessities, and took advantage of the night to quietly head towards Luhuachi.

Since it takes too much time to go by land, it is better to go directly from Qingcezhuang to the waterway.

In ancient times, Munata was surrounded by volcanoes, with vast grasslands and few rivers. However, relying on the alliance with Fontaine, almost all of Munata's soldiers had received training in naval warfare and ship driving.

Especially when doing business with Inazuma, Munata had cooperated with the shogunate in private and learned a lot of naval warfare skills from Furon.

Taking a ship across the Clear Water Plain not only avoids confrontation with the various forces in Liyue, but also shortens the time to reach the harbor.

Originally, it would take two days of non-stop galloping, but it only takes half a day by boat to reach Luhuachi, and then enter Tianheng Mountain through Dunyuling, and then you can commandeer and hit Liyue directly.

"Sail."

The ships skillfully used semaphore to communicate with each other, organized the fleet into two arrays, each consisting of five ships, and kept the smaller ships at the end, in case the Qianyan army from Shimen Wangshu Inn rushed to Qingce Village and waited for an opportunity to attack fleet rear.

The flag was waved again, and an order was issued from the first ship.

"Down the oars!"

Vikas shouted, dozens of huge paddles entered the water at the same time, and the waves they stirred up slapped the shore.

The ship full of dead souls set off slowly.

When Huaian and Jiang Xue led the Qianyan Army Squadron to Qingce Village, all that was left for them was the watchtower engulfed by the fire, the deserted village, the half-extinguished beacon fire, and the extremely tragic battlefield.
