Chapter 10: The Monster's Path

Wars are always brutal, even if they are so-called "winnable" wars.

Sacrifice is inevitable, and no one wants the person who sacrifices to be themselves, after all, no one wants to die.

Some people have the right to choose, while many more are not qualified to choose in the face of war.

However, the vast majority of those who do not have the right to choose are weak, and they are also those who die in large numbers in the war.

In order to find a way to drain the enemy's strength by the way, the youkai gathered a large number of weak people of their kind, pushed them to the front line, and prepared to make a way with their lives.

"For the sake of the feather-clad fox-sama!"

A large number of little monsters stood in front of the gates of Castlevania and shouted loudly.

Forward, forward, although they may die here, but if they are lucky enough to survive, then they can be appreciated by the legendary great monster Feathered Fox. For these little monsters, that's enough to make them risk their lives to fight.

After taking the oath, the high-spirited little youkai launched an attack on the gates of Castlevania. A variety of strange demonic powers streaked through the air, exploding flames on the gates of Castlevania.

After a sustained bombardment, the gates of Castlevania collapsed in smoke.

"The door is open, rush!"

The little monsters cheered, and in their opinion it was the first step towards a better future.

But maybe it's a big step on the road to hell.

"It's so easy to get in? Demons aren't anything to be proud of. ”

The powerful youkai who were overseeing the battle in the rear grunted as they watched the little youkai rush behind the door.

However, the cadres among these monsters did not follow suit, they would not believe that the demons who destroyed the ocelot and defeated the dog clan were idle people.

Sure enough, a series of screams came and went, and from the broken door to the exit, you could vaguely see several little monsters running back with frightened faces. Before they could run out, a black shadow flashed behind them, and the running little monster staggered to the ground.

After a while, all the screams died down.

Several monster cadres looked at each other, and finally there was only a low sigh.

"It's really not that simple."

"The first batch of little monsters are all dead."

"So what, just keep going."

"If there is any progress on the Onmyoji's side, it can't just be our people to explore the way."

It will take a little time to organize another wave of little monster temptations, and the cadres discussed it and felt that it was necessary to let their allies do something too.

"Get out there and kill them!"

The flaming demon shouted as he brandished his crimson greatsword. Hearing his proposal, most of the demons were so excited that they chanted along with him.

I was so aggrieved that I could only wait for the monsters to attack my base camp, and many demons felt very ashamed.

A miserable white bone stick smashed into the most screaming demon, and smashed his whole body into a meatloaf.

"Do you want to disobey the orders of the lord of the castle?"

The huge skeleton carrying the blood-stained bone rod walked over, the pale skull making a "gurgling" sound, and the pupils burning with soul fire swept over the body of each demon one by one. The blood of the previous demon was slowly flowing down the bone rod, and many demons were immediately silent.

The class hierarchy of demons is harsh, and any temptation to cross the line is extremely deadly.

Seeing that no one answered, the upper and lower jaws of the big skeleton made a "click" sound, and then returned to its original position.

"Remember, our mission is to keep an eye on this gate and kill all the youkai who break into the halls of the 'Chapel'...... However, the yokai that escaped and broke in are not something we need to consider. ”

The Great Skull, the commander of Castlevania, is ordered to guard the Demon Chapel.

The number of demons gathered here is the largest, but the relative quality is really the weakest, and the Chapel is the number one level used to screen interloders. It's like a game, don't think that the guards of the first level may be unimpeded, and there are more difficult things waiting for you later.

The "Forgotten Courtyard" in the back garden of Castlevania also has a group of disgruntled demons complaining.

"What is this? There's no blood at all, so I can't be interested at all! ”

Two fingers twisted a broken piece of paper from the ground, and the second leader of Castlevania, the scorpion Manticor, scratched his head with his claws, and he couldn't understand how the villain before turned into a piece of paper.

It was obviously torn apart by his claws, but before he could eat the flesh, the little man suddenly shrunk into a piece of paper and fell to the ground.

This made Manticol a little distressed, and he thought he could have a big meal, but he didn't even have any meat at all.

Again, this distress is a common problem to a large number of monsters in the forgotten courtyard.

A demonic beast crawling lazily in the courtyard was basking in the sun, and only when someone broke in could they get excited.

These monsters with extremely keen senses were scattered into the vast courtyard by the firmament, and no one could escape their noses and sneak in.

"Shikigami has been wiped out."

An onmyoji who vomited blood fell to the ground and did not move after a few convulsions.

"The power of these demons is so strong!"

Compared to youkai, Onmyoji is undoubtedly life-saving.

Their status is as noble as that of eunuchs, and they only need to be responsible to the emperor, and they accept the worship of the people on weekdays. If they want to work hard, they can't bear it.

However, the demon shattered their dreams with its claws.

I thought that it would be enough to send a large number of Shikigami to participate in the battle instead of them, but the strength of the demons was obviously higher than their assessment, and it would not work without playing in person.

In the "Between the Thrones" at the top of Castlevania, Cangzhen has a panoramic view of the two battlefields from a high vantage point.

The first temptation was not intense, and both the youkai and the Onmyoji kept a hand, and those invaders were quickly torn to pieces by the demon's minions. The intensity of the battle was far from being enough to arouse Cangzhen's interest.

"Next time, there should be some weighty guys."

Leaning back in her chair, she took Leticia in her arms and stroked her hair. Such silky and dazzling blonde hair is worthy of being called a "treasure".

Everyone understands the truth of one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion.

The good start has failed, and if you continue to attack and fail, the little monsters who have been called for will probably have to have confidence in them.

Don't look at those cadres who only use little monsters as cannon fodder, but you have to know that cadres are not strong enough to defy the sky, without a large number of little monsters to open the way, they may not even be able to finish half of the road on their own and will exhaust their physical strength and die.

"The build-up of troops is complete. This time, I'll lead a team of 100 ghosts to go on a night trip to try it out. ”

Some of the cadres in the rear came out, and without waiting for the others to reply, they walked towards the assembled troops on their own.

"Wild skeletons, I ...... too"

"Forget it, White Hidden Ghost, let him go."

"Great Tengu. But ......"

"Rest assured, the power of a Hyakki Night Walk with a commander is completely different from that of a Hyakki Night Walk without a leader. Even if you can't break in, it's still okay to get out safely. If you're worried, just be prepared to respond. ”

Seeing their companions leave, several cadres moved their bodies, and it was not far from the time for them to leave the field.

The battle of the monsters is crisp and neat, and after testing the details, the next thing is to rush up in waves, and directly and completely divide the superiority and inferiority.

The powerful youkai who follow the big youkai feathered fox, each of them is a well-known figure among the youkai. Although it is true that there is no comparison with the big monsters such as the dog general and the parent party, they are already at the top among the general youkai.

"Everyone, let's form a hundred ghosts with me as the leader!"

The crawling giant skeleton knocked several small monsters in its way, appearing in the second wave of small monsters that were assembled.

"Oh! It's Lord Skeleton! Great, the general is finally dispatched. ”

The little monsters cheered, they didn't care about the few unlucky guys who were knocked into the air and fell to their deaths. Compared to a youkai that is powerful enough to serve as the master of the night walk of a hundred ghosts, the few small youkai who die are not worth mentioning, and they will not even get mercy.

"Hehehe, morale is available. Rush with me and kill all the cowards hiding inside the city walls! ”

The wild skeleton used both hands and feet, and rushed forward first.

Even though he could reduce his speed, the youkai behind him still had to sprint with all his might to keep up with him.

"Yo!"

The demon appeared in the eyes of the wild skeleton, and he suddenly became excited and sped up.

The three-meter-long bone arm stretched out, and with a single swing, it swept away a dozen demons that stood in front of him. Seeing that these demons could be said to be vulnerable, the barren skeleton directly let go of his hands and feet, used both hands together, grabbed a demon in one hand and waved them as a weapon.

"General, it's amazing. We're on it too! ”

The heroic appearance of the wild skeleton inspired the youkai in the rear, and the connection between the hundred ghosts and the night walk became closer, and the power of the bonds became stronger and stronger.

"Intruder, fight me!"

Seeing that the barren skeleton was unstoppable, the big skeleton roared and greeted it with a bone club.

Outwardly, both of them were the embodiment of ordinary huge bones. Such a face-bump made the big skeleton even more motivated.

With a "Kang" sound, the collision of bones and bones made a muffled sound of metal colliding.

The demons and youkai who were close to the two commanders of the battle area clutched their chests in unison, and the loud sound almost shattered their hearts.

"I didn't expect there to be people among the demons who are so similar to me."

The Wild Skull was amazed at the enemy in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

They are all curious about who is the stronger one who is the monster formed by the same bones.

As a result, there was no one else in their eyes but each other.

"Your leg bones must make great weapons."

The big skeleton made his declaration of victory, but the wild skeleton braced his hands, his lower abdomen retracted upward, his legs lifted lightning bolts from below, and his feet kicked hard at the big skeleton.

The big skeleton that had just made a declaration of victory, and even planned to sharpen the opponent's thigh bone into a weapon, was like a kite with a broken string, drawing a straight line in the air and knocking down a large part of the wall behind it.

A mass of bricks fell, instantly hiding him below.

"The enemy general has been defeated!"

Seeing this scene, the morale of the youkai boiled.

However, the Skeleton did not respond to the cheers around him, and his eyes remained on the pile of bricks.

"Arrogant idiot, wait for this fight to be over, and let the Grim Reaper discipline that guy well."

A fist slammed into the armrest, and the innocent gaze also fell on the ruins, roaring angrily.
