While the Millelith stands guard, evil shall never prevail!
—Motto of the Millelith
The Millelith is a military force stationed around Liyue to serve as guards, reporting to the Liyue Qixing. Alongside patrolling the Liyue's lands, the Millelith also conduct undercover infiltration against criminal groups to weaken[1] and/or apprehend them.[2]
Overview[]
Equipment[]
The Millelith are renowned for their skill with polearms. Their standard-issue weapon is the White Tassel, with some front-line officers also wielding the heavier Halberd, though members have been shown with other weapons, such as the Dark Iron Sword.[3] The Millelith of the past favored the Lithic Spear and Lithic Blade, but these are considered far too heavy for modern humans to wield.
According to Turenna, the Millelith are currently developing a new type of armor that consists of ceramic blocks wedged between pieces of hardened fabric. Like real-life ceramic armor, it is meant to distribute the impact of projectiles to reduce their penetrative power.[4]
All of their equipment is supplied by Blackcliff Forge.[4]
Training & Tactics[]
The Millelith provides standardized training for all recruits and maintains strict assessment standards. They demand a high degree of awareness and discipline from every soldier, which allows them to focus more on group formations and large-scale strategy.
In battle, they often use the sheer size of their forces to overwhelm the enemy. Each unit has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and can also divide into smaller formations as required. This allows them to adapt to difficult terrain and provides tactical flexibility.
According to Phonia, even if one studies the Millelith's tactics and formations, it would still be difficult to find a weakness to exploit.[4]
History[]
The Millelith was originally the Millelith Brigade, which served in the Archon War.[5][6] Local elders would take oaths of allegiance to Morax, and select soldiers.[7] These ancient Millelith also apparently had superhuman strength (at least by current standards).[Note 1] Once the Archon War ended, the Millelith started reporting to the Qixing.[8] Many Millelith soldiers sacrificed themselves fighting alongside Bosacius in the Chasm against the Abyss during the Cataclysm.[9][10]
After the battle against Beisht, the Liyue Qixing sought to enhance Liyue's military to better prepare for a future attack of such magnitude. To this end, they reorganized the Millelith's chain of command and established the General Staff department, which would bring together military advisers to pool intel and streamline operations. The Yuheng also introduced "scenario-based training," which is designed to comprehensively test a soldier's ability to assemble and command military forces. In Version 4.7, Liyue also hosted the Mutual Security Enhancing Simulation to further develop their scenario-based training and share military techniques with other nations' armed forces.[11]
