Chapter 3: Empires and Groups

I don't know when the youkai who like to be alone have also learned from the human model and established a kingdom of youkai. Powerful races and dependent weak populations unite to form a nation, and the combination of idle yokai is called a "group".

Imitating and learning from human behavior, the wildness of yokai has been domesticated to a certain extent, and some yokai who seek to coexist with humans have been enshrined, and the power of faith has made them transcend yokai and become "gods".

This is an era when humans, demons, and gods coexist.

"The day belongs to humans, the night belongs to monsters, and dusk is the moment of demons."

Cang Zhen muttered what he heard from the outside, and couldn't help but feel funny.

The Heian period in Japan was a dark and unclear era when humans and yokai coexisted, and where the yokai lived and where humans lived, in fact, overlapped spatially, except that humans were active during the day, and yokai appeared at night.

However, none of the masters of day and night belong to humanity, at least not in this age.

Playing with the tea bowl called "Yao Change" offered by the nearby daimyo in his hand, it didn't take long for Koma to get tired of throwing it aside.

Cangzhen's feet were piled up full of tributes like a hill, and the Yao Chang Tianmu Tea Bowl was just one of them.

Perhaps this tea bowl has great value, but for Cangzhen, it is just an ornamental object of little use after all. It's okay to use for collections, and the practicality is almost zero. I don't think anyone will drink tea with something like this art.

"Hmm...... In other words, your daimyo wants my protection? ”

The day after the warring army was wiped out, a group of visitors arrived in Castlevania. They were the envoys of the Daimyo, who came with tribute and sincerity.

Most mortals do something similar to youkai when they face them. Offering tribute to meet the needs of the other person, and begging the other person to be merciful and spare him.

"Yes. We are mortals, and we know our own insignificance only when we see the power of adults. I would like to be offered in exchange for the protection of adults. Like the Oda family and Nishinokuni, this is a mutually beneficial way of survival. ”

The samurai with the strange shaved "Tsukiyo head" sat on his knees, with a calm look of putting life and death out of the way.

I'm afraid the daimyo had been agonizing for a long time to choose who to come to this demon's lair. After all, it's very likely that there is no going back.

In all fairness, Cang Zhen still likes these loyal guys.

Although it is a pity that it is not his own subordinates, the position does not affect the innocent senses.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry...... I have no interest in mortals. Also, I prefer to plunder what I want with my own hands rather than accept offerings. For the sake of the tribute, spare your life. Now, get out of here! ”

The demons under his command are waiting to open the meat, where can Cang Zhen be someone else's patron saint.

“…… It's a pity. ”

Despite the rejection and even the misappropriation of tribute, the envoys did not dwell on it.

It's not that a smart person will not be elected to be an envoy, otherwise if he angers the other party, he will not be making trouble for his own family.

After the envoy left, Cang Zhen swept the pile of valuable tribute into the corner without hesitation.

These things add a touch of opulence to his collection, but they are hard to remember. They are only suitable for viewing on exhibition shelves.

"Now, we have a general understanding of the world. The yokai form a community-like 'group' and 'empire', with the dog demons of the dog clan in the west, the ocelot in the east, and the rest of the place being occupied by a single large youkai or a 'group' that forms a hundred ghosts to walk nocturnally. ”

Cang Zhen marked each of these forces on the map, including the identity and strength of the masters of those forces.

The "Empire" is the most powerful youkai power, and only the top youkai power is qualified to build its own empire. The second-class can only be said to be a "group", and the hundred ghosts are first-class again, and finally those idle little monsters.

Of course, one of the few big youkai who can fight the "group" alone certainly can't be counted among them.

Roughly speaking, there are few enemies in this era who can fight against Castlevania.

However, the premise is that the world comes to a complete state of Castlevania.

Clenching his fist, letting go, and holding it again, Cang Zhen felt his strength at the moment. He found that the power he had at his disposal was pitiful.

The existence of projection is really too fragile, no wonder few people like to fight with projection.

"Death, are the demons already thirsty? So what are you waiting for, open the gates and let them out! Tell them to wipe out all the inhuman aliens around the castle. One is not left to be destroyed. ”

"Let the youkai know that we're here!"

The sound of the innocent echoed around the castle, and the demons roared excitedly, gathering quickly behind the gates.

With a "boom", the heavy city gate slammed to the ground under the twisting of the iron chains.

The gates were wide open.

If someone were standing at the front gate of the city gate, they would be frightened by what they saw. Behind the city gate, countless pairs of scarlet pupils were exuding excitement.

The demons poured out of the city gates like a black tide, and they scrambled for fear that if they ran slowly, their prey would be killed by other demons. Demons are an extreme race that can derive power from killing, and their cruel nature is buried deep in the bones of this race.

Black clouds obscured the sun, and the dark clouds gathered above Castlevania under the action of the power of the firm, completely blocking out the sunlight.

In less than half a day's effort, Cang Zhen sensed that the resentment of the territory around Castlevania City had quickly climbed several times.

For three days and three nights, advancing non-stop, at the speed of the demon's march, all the monsters near the castlevania were poisoned. Occasionally, a few powerful resistances are also surrounded and suppressed by a steady stream of demons, like a mantis arm as a car.

Venting his heart, the demon began to return to the lair.

The biggest reason, though, is that they can't find a rival in the vicinity.

The frenzied slaughter temporarily eased the demons' **, making their recognition of the Pure Order stronger.

Far away on the other side of the island, it is called the place of Nishinokuni.

The most wise warrior in history, the leader of the dog clan who led the dog clan to build a huge country, General Inu, is reviewing the information sent from all over the country.

"The new Western Devil? As soon as he appeared, he slaughtered all the youkai around him.,It seems that it's a guy who can't talk well...... Let the little ones stay away from their territory for a while. ”

As a monster overlord, the appearance of Castlevania did not attract the attention of the dog general.

There are so many types of monsters in this country that there is an extra alien species that can't even make a splash.

Compared to the demons that have not yet bordered, the dog general has been having a headache recently due to the frequent harassment of the ocelot clan.

In terms of old enemies, the ocelot people are undoubtedly qualified opponents.

The dog general asked himself, he was already a rare overlord of the dog clan for thousands of years, and he thought that he could completely cut off the centuries-old grievances and entanglements between the two clans in this generation. But unexpectedly, the ocelot clan actually gave birth to a leader who was not worse than him at the same time.

"Damn the cat demon!"

Rao is a dog general's mental cultivation, and he can't help but curse secretly when he thinks of his old enemy, the leopard cat clan.

If it weren't for the entanglement of the ocelot clan, the canine clan would have swept the world and ruled the entire monster world.

Just as the dog general reviewed the information of Castlevania, the leader of the ocelot clan also received the information of his subordinates.

Compared to the canu's temporary shelf, the leader of the ocelot clan is thinking about whether there is a way to unite with the demons.

I have to say that the canine clan regards the ocelot clan as a mortal enemy, and the ocelot clan thinks so. Hundreds of years of entanglement have caused heavy deaths for both races.

Sometimes they also think that if the other party didn't exist in the first place, without the constraints of the old enemy, they might have become the hegemon of the monsters a long time ago, instead of just shrinking to one side like now.

"Try to get in touch, and if you can, invite them to join the canine family. In return, the land of the land of the land of the West can be divided among them, and the ocelot will also give additional benefits. ”

After pondering for a long time, the leader of the ocelot clan summoned a clever subordinate and quietly gave him an order.

Another overlord-level force has appeared!

The cleanup of Castlevania destroyed many youkai tribes and showed off their strong biceps to youkai across the country.

They understand that another force is coming up that they are not to mess with.

As for whether the demon is an alien species, the youkai who have always spoken with their strength don't care at all.

They just need to remember that if they go too close to the demon's territory, they will be killed.

In a remote mountainous area, a young man with helical anti-gravity blonde hair holds a toothpick in his mouth, swaying his legs and listening to the chatter of other monsters in the store.

For these little monsters who have neither backing nor strong strength, some places occupied by powerful monster forces must be listed as "forbidden places" and deeply remembered.

Don't think that if youkai are stronger than humans, they will be able to live a prosperous life.

In fact, there are not many onmyoji, mana monks, and shrine maidens among the human race, and although they are not enterprising, they are still generally fine to protect their compatriots from infringement.

The life of the little monster is actually quite down, not only to avoid the encirclement and suppression of humans, not to dare to stay in the human territory for too long, but also to be careful to beware of the hunting of powerful monsters.

But they can't help it.

Talent is destined from birth, no matter how hard you work the day after tomorrow, the chance of salted fish turning over does not have to be much higher for all human mages to die suddenly.

This view is very much in line with the general idea of this country, after all, youkai are also born from the resentment of the human beings in this country, and they have a bit of human thought after all.

"Cut ......"

After listening for a long time, the balls on the plate had already left bamboo sticks, and the blonde monster let out a muffled snort, and then got up impatiently and left.

It wasn't until after he left that the yokai owner who ran the shop realized that the customer who was sitting here before hadn't paid.

Thinking about it this way, that monster who eats and drinks for nothing looks like a slippery ghost who specializes in deceiving food and drinking!
