Chapter 422 The whole rock army unites in formation
This spear was none other than the immortal weapon "Pacify Disaster" that True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng had given to his beloved disciple Shen He.
Back then, when Xu Ning traveled to Mondstadt, he passed through the snowy mountains and was deceived by a blacksmith with ulterior motives. He had originally planned to forge a fine gun to give to Shen He when he returned to Liyue.
Unfortunately, Abedo pointed out that the man wanted to use secret methods to forge such an evil weapon that would be unacceptable to the world, so in the end, the matter had to be dropped.
However, when he returned and saw Shen He, he found that she was holding the "Disaster Relief" weapon. At that time, he thought that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was proficient in mechanical arts, so it would probably not be difficult for him to forge a divine weapon.
Unexpectedly, this weapon of pacifying disaster appeared here.
Xu Ning also knew the temperament of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun well. If this gun was made by her, even if it was thrown into a corner of the cave to collect dust, she would never hand it over to the ignorant villagers for safekeeping.
Judging from the tone of the burly man's question, Xu Ning believed that if this man was indeed the Grand Marshal Tengshe, then perhaps this spear was also from his hands.
The burly man reached out and picked up Xizai, then turned and slowly walked towards the direction of the giant abyss of layered rocks.
"Hey, brave warrior, where are you going?"
The elder tried to call out to the big man, but the big man left without turning his head.
Xu Ning chuckled and stopped the old man who was trying to chase after him. "You wouldn't be thinking of using this spear to trade for this brother to guard Dunyu Valley for you, would you?"
The elder smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "I do have this idea, uh, I wonder if you could..."
Xu Ning immediately shook his head and said, "Such a big thing has happened in the Abyss of Laminaria, I can't not go. This incident is extraordinary. You should prepare for the worst. It would be best to lead everyone to quickly move towards the Thousand Rock Army's base or Liyue Harbor, in case the Abyss of Laminaria falls..."
Xu Ning didn't finish speaking; he left it at that. Whether the old man listened or not was up to him. With such a great disaster looming, there was no time to waste on certain people.
Xu Ning immediately took out the Dust Concealment Gourd, took a big gulp, and turned to chase after the big man.
Both of them were extremely fast.
Xu Ning barely reached the entrance of the Layered Rock Abyss before catching up with the giant man.
At this moment, many soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army have begun to gather here.
A leader clad in full armor saw the burly man and Xu Ning rushing towards them, took a step forward and shouted, "The Thousand Rock Army will deal with the demons ahead. You can pick up any stragglers on the outer edge of the cliff and kill them to prevent them from running into the interior and harming the people."
Xu Ning paused when he heard the officer wielding the Thousand Rock Spear speak, but the burly man ignored him and charged straight through the Thousand Rock Army's lines, heading straight for the center of the dark demon.
"Ugh, what a brute!"
This infuriated the officer. Seeing the overwhelming force of the demons, every bit of Liyue's strength could alleviate their burden. Yet this reckless man had charged headlong into it, wasting his physique and the magnificent spear in his hand.
Seeing that the Qianyan officer was angry, Xu Ning explained a few words to the big man, "Those who escaped will naturally be eliminated by the Great Sage Subduing Demons and the immortals. We will just stay here with you and take down these guys who dare to invade Liyue."
The officer from Chiiwa sighed, "It's up to you. Just don't regret it later."
"All soldiers, listen to my command! Advance from here and hold the exit of the Abyss of the Rocky Mountains. Do not retreat. The Thousand Rock Army once followed the Emperor to sweep across the lands of Liyue and annihilated countless demons. These mere demons dare to set foot in Liyue? Let them see the might of the Thousand Rock Army."
"The Thousand Rocks are steadfast, the towering peaks unyielding! The entire Thousand Rocks Army, stand united!"
"Defenders in armor, vanquish demons and evil spirits! Kill!"
This was the first time Xu Ning had ever seen the Thousand Rock Army fully armed against the enemy.
In the midst of battle, all the Thousand Rock soldiers wielded Thousand Rock spears, a heavy weapon that was abandoned in later generations but was restored by Xu Ning, and is still deployed on the battlefield.
The formation consists of 100 people, with 33 people in each row, arranged in three rows, with two people's widths between each pair, and then each row is staggered by one person's width.
Each person in the back row was only a step away from the person in the front row, but because everyone was positioned in the gap between the front and back rows, they did not interfere with each other when wielding their guns.
Moreover, in this kind of battle formation, soldiers protect each other, so everyone only needs to focus on attacking the enemy in the extremely small space in front of them. From the enemy's perspective, all they can see is a dense forest of guns.
The Thousand Rocks soldiers' battle formation crashed almost fearlessly into the black torrent overflowing from the giant rock abyss.
It's like the surging black water suddenly encountering a golden dam, its flow abruptly halted, and then it crashes against the dam, breaking into scattered foam.
Xu Ning discovered that the marksmanship of these Qianyan soldiers was extremely simple.
Almost all of them consisted of a slash, a thrust, a flip, a chop to the ground, a pierce, a throw; the simple spear techniques, enhanced by the weight and penetrating power of the Thousand Rock Spear, turned the carnage into an extremely monotonous rhythm.
Moreover, their method of advancement can be described as killing with every step.
When the front row encounters an enemy and kills them, the back row directly passes through the front row to assassinate the monsters behind them. The third row then passes through the second row to continue assassinating. By this time, the first row has cleared out the enemies and moves forward again.
In a continuous cycle, the three rows of soldiers, like interlocking sharp teeth, tore apart and devoured the monsters in front of them.
The Thousand Rocks Army advanced nearly a hundred meters, without pausing for a moment, and then these hundred men blocked the entrance to the Layered Rock Abyss.
Having witnessed countless bloody battlefields in Inazuma, Xu Ning had assumed that the battle would be extremely brutal.
However, the scene before him completely overturned Xu Ning's imagination.
For millennia, countless demons and monsters have coveted this golden land across the vast land of Liyue.
However, the Thousand Rock Army, which protected the people along with the Emperor, has never forgotten its will to protect them for thousands of years.
The spearhead, honed by the will to protect, will never become dull.
Xu Ning raised the Dust Concealment Gourd, gave a distant salute to the Thousand Rock soldiers in front of him, and laughed, "Seniors have taught me a lesson. Although I'm still a bit confused, seeing my Liyue suffering from disaster and still thinking about my own escape route, I'm afraid I'll despise myself one night when I wake up in the middle of the night!"
Xu Ning rushed forward, and as he approached the Thousand Rocks Army formation, a sudden gust of wind rose around him, and he leaped into the air, soaring straight over the formation. He was about to land among the dense pack of dark wolves.
The commander of the Thousand Rock Army, who was directing the battle formation, gritted his teeth and said resentfully, "I thought this one would be more obedient, but I didn't expect it to still jump in."
While still in mid-air, Xu Ning began to gather the aroma of alcohol into his right fist, shouting, "Let's drink!"
