Chapter Ninety-Three: A Pyrrhic Victory
"Is it finally over?" looked at the battlefield with a slight distraction. www.biquge.info Even though she knew very well in her consciousness that Youkai Mountain had won, the danger of the final counterattack before her had made her feel the reality of victory at all. She looked at the messy battlefield, and it seemed that she could still see the terrifying momentum of the desperate demons erupting for a way out, and it seemed that in the next second, those dead demons would jump up from the ground and fight their warriors again.
What are you thinking? Riluoin was stunned for a while and finally smiled unfreely, the enemy had lost, he was the victorious side, and even those corpses had been turned into ashes and mixed together, where was there any possibility to stand up again? She looked around for a moment, chuckled, and said, "That's all. ”
Yes, but that's it. The tengu and youkai who were also in a trance around them heard Hirain's relaxed words, and finally burst into cheers together. "But that's it! Youkai Mountain wins! The wave of cheers gradually sounded from the rear, and then slowly spread little by little, until the army in front of them, all the people cheered, but in the midst of that cheering, was there any joy that they had survived? How many more wars like this? There are lingering doubts in everyone's hearts, but in the atmosphere of victory, they are hidden in the depths of their hearts.
It was clear that this war started early in the morning, but when it ended, it was already approaching dusk. The powerful bodies of the youkai give them more stamina than humans and can fight for a longer period of time. But Rao is so, under such a long and high-intensity battle, almost everyone is out of strength, especially after the baptism of blood and fire in their hearts, the fear and loss make every youkai involuntarily relax after the end of the war, and the fatigue and pain that they have not felt before have also surfaced.
"Clean up the battlefield! Find out all the brothers who are still alive, and bring back the dead bodies, and we can't let our compatriots stay in this kind of place! "Riluoyuan was already very concerned about people's emotions, so he naturally felt the emotions of the monsters, and hurriedly ordered, this step that must be done after the end of the war now has a more important meaning. At present, this group of monsters can be said to be the only monsters who have experienced war in the past thousand years in the monster mountain, but Riluoyuan Yan is not, she knows very well that it is not the most suitable time to relax at this time, especially in terms of time. Riluoyuan has not forgotten that her enemies are vampires, and vampires are always the king of the night, and it is precisely because of this that she chooses the day as the time to start the war. However, the result made her very worried, what would it be like to fight with the army of Youkai Mountain when the power of the vampire was greatly weakened during the day, if it was at night? At this moment, the time is approaching dusk, and Riluo Yuan Yan knows very well that once his remnant army that has just finished the war still stays here, exchange identities, Riluo Yuan Yan will definitely not mind a Jedi counterattack, if it really fights again, Riluo Yuan Yan believes that the defeat will definitely be Youkai Mountain.
The tengus cleaned up the battlefield because the battle was taking place on the shore of the lake, and when the battle was over, the blood that flowed out had stained a large area of the lake red. The lake of pure fog floats a large expanse of dark red. It's both the blood of the monster and the blood of the demon, and after death, they are mixed together, and they can't tell each other apart at all. In fact, from the beginning, there is actually no difference between the two, they are also monsters, but they are distinguished from each other because of their strength and weakness, but what about the essence? Death is such a factor that erases all external factors, and when the blood is mixed together, who can tell which is strong and which is weak?
For the tengu, cleaning the battlefield is relatively simple, and this war is very simple in the aftermath, because the vampire physique of the demon army, as long as it dies, it will definitely turn into ashes, so at this time, there is no corpse of the demon army on the battlefield at all, all the corpses are tengu, and because of this, it can be seen at a glance that the tengu won not easily, and the large number of corpses on the ground proves this. The Tengu tread through the thick ashes of the ground and struggled to find some alive among the corpses of their compatriots, but only a handful could actually be saved. Most of the corpses were just ordinary corpses, and even thanks to the demon's ferocious fighting methods, some of them could not even be pieced together. Gradually, in the process of this, I don't know where to start, bursts of suppressed cries came, and the youkai were powerless to mourn the dead in the only way they could use.
War is never a child's play, no one can guarantee that they will survive in war, everyone's life is so fragile, no matter how to praise, no matter how to embellish, the essence of war is to put life equally on the small chance to weigh, every war is the destruction of life, is the destruction of life. Only in mythology will there be an eternal invincible, because it is impossible, so human beings will hope for the possibility, that's all.
Shotimaru sat quietly on a stone in the distance, looking at his compatriots who were tidying up the battlefield. One by one, the bodies were found, and one by one the bodies were taken away. Among the corpses, it is likely that there is a face of a tengu with whom he has a good relationship, or it may be a brother who works with him, or even a material that he has interviewed and harassed to the point of anger. It's dead, completely, it's dead again. It's not the first time I've seen death, but after so many years, it's extremely rare for so many companions to die at once, even in her life. The Fengshen girl on the battlefield who danced to the extreme with Ji Haitang fell into silence at this time. She really didn't know how to express her feelings, which was too difficult for her.
The sound of wings flapping fell from the sky, and under the feet of the small body were tens of centimeters of high-toothed clogs. Shotimaru didn't need to look to know who was falling behind her, but even so, she didn't change her posture and still stared blankly at the lakeside. Linggu Irin didn't blame her for anything, Youkai Mountain really hadn't experienced war for too long, and it was precisely because of this that she knew very well what such an impact meant to the Tengu. She said lightly, but there was concern hidden in her tone: "How does it feel to experience war again?" No problem, right? ”
"Thank you for your concern, I'm not one of those newborn tengu, but this situation is naturally fine." Wenwen broke her silence and replied in a slightly sarcastic tone. After saying this, the two fell silent for a while. The two of them noticed the abnormality in their tone for a while, and they didn't speak anymore with a tacit understanding, but adjusted their mentality alone, which is a gaffe for Wenwen, but why not for Rin? The two of them were silent like this, quietly watching the battlefield become clear little by little, watching the daylight in the sky turn into a faint yellow, and the light of the setting sun reflected this place incomparably desolate, even though they were the victors, but in this way, where was the atmosphere of victory?
"I'm sorry just now, Ottengu-sama." This time it was Wenwen who broke the silence, and Lingjiu Yirin was slightly stunned when he heard it, and then showed a hint of chuckle: "The adjustment is very fast, sure enough, it would be nice if a guy like you could have a little more." ”
Shooting Pill Wen has regained her previous personality, and the influence left in the fight seems to have been hidden by her, at this time she looks almost no different from usual except that her mood is lower, she seems to be scratched her head a little distressed by the words of the spirit dove Irin: "Ahhhhhh Aren't you supposed to say that there are fewer people like me? Could it be that Otengu-sama finally thinks that Bunbun Daily is better than yours? In that case, I'll definitely be on the front page. ”
"Forget it, I don't want to be on any front page for that gossip news of yours." The dove Irin pursed her lips with disdain. She also runs a newspaper, but under the influence of Wenwen News, I have to admit that even the Great Tengu has been compared to his subordinates, and even Ji Haitangji's newspaper can't be compared, although Lingjiu Irin has always shown that she doesn't care at all, but secretly she is not less sulking. At this time, hearing Wenwen say this, the mood that was originally better immediately became depressed again.
"Wenwen!" A hurried voice sounded, and Ji Haitang fell from the air in front of Wenwen, and said with a little eagerness: "Why did you guys run here to paddle!" Hurry back and assemble! The captain hasn't found you, and he's going crazy! Ah, Daitengu-sama! Speaking of this, Jicai finally saw the figure of the spirit dove Irin, and hurriedly saluted respectfully. Compared to Wenwen, it is equivalent to a good boy, and Lingjiu Irin is naturally very clear about these two reporters who are also very good among all tengu, so he waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "Don't blame her, I had something to look for her before, so I didn't have time to gather, so you just told the captain." ”
"Ahh Is that so? Text? After hearing this, Ji was a little sluggish, and looked at Wen Wen in disbelief, Wen Wen showed a smile on the corner of his mouth unknowingly, and then quickly turned into a natural expression before Ji noticed: "Of course, do you think I'm the kind of person who will be undisciplined casually?" I'm an honest journalist. ”
Are you the kind of person who doesn't follow discipline casually? When have you ever been disciplined? Ji and Rin's eyelids jumped involuntarily, especially Rin, watching this guy use the reason he gave to arbitrarily choreograph, resisting the urge to kick up, and reluctantly smiled and said, "But now that the matter has been discussed, Wenwen, you can go back to gathering." ”
Wenwen's smug smile froze all of a sudden, she was very good at observing words and feelings, and when she saw Lingjiu Yirin's unkind expression, she had to respond helplessly: "Ahhh Is that so? Yes... I know, I'm going back, and the Great Tengu-sama is leaving. ”
"Retire, Daitengu-sama." Ji Ke didn't notice that the two of them were wrong, and after saluting respectfully, he hurriedly took Wenwen's hand and flew up. Wenwen looked reluctant, but there was really no way, as long as he followed Ji Fei away. Linggu Irin looked at the backs of the two people, and for some reason, burst out laughing. In them, Rin saw the future of Youkai Mountain.
At this time, the battlefield had been completely cleared, and the troops of Youkai Mountain had regrouped in the same neat queue as they had come, but this time, the ranks could be seen to be much thinner at a glance. At the back of the procession were tengu carrying stretchers and covered with white cloths. Lying on it were all comrades who had died in the war. There were tengu, kappa, and youkai, but they were all lying on stretchers and not breathing.
"Alright everyone! Let's go home! Ri Luo Yuan Yan looked at these eyes that looked at her, and did not say any morale-boosting truth, nor did he say anything righteous, but simply said a word, let's go home. That's enough.
