Chapter 36: Then the War Begins (6)

The wind on the moon is very gentle, not to mention the killing atmosphere, not even the hustle and bustle.

However, he was still keenly aware of a hint of heat in the air that should not have been there—it was the breath of the battlefield, because it was too inconsistent with the atmosphere of the moon capital itself, so it was easy to distinguish.

This is probably the fighting spirit of the youkai because they know that the battle is coming. Boiling over the blood of the impending deathmatch is just a common thing for the oni clan - even the quick and calm Jinra is no exception.

Looking at the arrogant back of the Yuedu people who turned to leave, she clenched her ghost cut.

Surprisingly, it's a good opponent.

Just as she was thinking this, a familiar voice caught her attention.

"I said."

The blonde ghost girl was looking at her helplessly. As for why she had this expression, it was because she was incredulous about something.

"What's the problem?"

Although she didn't think that Yongyi's brain could ask any constructive questions, she still took the initiative to ask rhetorically. But it must be known that this is not because of empathy, but simply self-defeating -- Jinkara is so sure that this guy will ask the question no matter what, and it is better to say it himself.

"Why, that guy is so cooperative in the face of you?"

As a result, when talking to us, the attitude is not enough to describe it as arrogant and inferior--this contrast is also strong. Why is there such a big difference?

"And why do you say that?"

Jin Luo said in a cold tone.

"Hmm."

Asked back by Jinluo, Yongyi's expression stiffened for a moment, but only for a moment. For the bold Ghost King of Force, there is no need to even think about troublesome things, as long as you say what you feel in your heart

However, sometimes that's the worst option.

"Maybe he fell in love with you at first sight."

With that, she looked at the Gora in high spirits and said, did she expect her answer to be appreciated?

"Probably."

But the sight that stabbed from all directions contained mostly subtle emotions, which made Yongyi know that he was wrong.

"Well, I didn't expect to hear any reliable answer from you, but since you asked. Then I'll just answer you, the reason why he is so cooperative is because he has achieved his goal."

Purpose: This is a word that can easily arouse alarmism. At least the Zhiwu Liu, the moment he heard the word, he did lift his spirits.

"Is that the purpose? Even if it was out of caution that we were so obviously unkind and came to ask so many questions, the man still said a lot of meaningless things that didn't match the impression he gave people."

Nachi tried to dissect the other party's purpose, and an idea appeared in his mind.

"If that arrogant attitude isn't a disguise, then is he buying time?"

"Not bad. He's just stalling for time."

Akira agrees with Nachi's conclusions, and she sees through Ha's purpose from the start.

However, her next words could not help but surprise everyone.

"I'm afraid I want to buy time for reinforcements to arrive, so I'm giving him this opportunity."

Looking at the cold face of Jinluo without a trace of wavering, Na Zhiwuliu asked as if he was tentative.

"Are you serious?"

"I never do meaningless things."

Indeed, in some ways the Karla is very similar to the people of that month, should the attitude of the ghost who asserts such an assertion be calm or condescending? Nachi couldn't tell, but he waited for her explanation.

And Jinra didn't disappoint him either.

"At first glance, we shouldn't give reinforcements any chance to arrive, and it's the wisest decision to go straight in - but this idea is actually wrong in itself, and it's the best way to go."

As Kinra said, not only could the youkai not be able to attack the Moon City, but they also had to give the other party a reason to gather an army

"There's no location, is it?"

That Zhiwuliu spoke first, and the intelligent tengu had already recognized his previous limitations with just a slight hint.

"Yes, if we do, we are not familiar with the terrain ourselves, and it would be a foolish decision to venture into the unknown."

In fact, it is not necessarily very wise to run from the ground to invade the moon, but if you don't do anything, the situation will only get worse, so Jinkara did not say this idea.

"That's why I'm going to give the people of the moon time, so that they will fight us head-on in an open place, and the victory of the two sides depends entirely on the difference in strength, although it is not very flashy, but this is the best policy."

It has to be said that the words of the Cindra are quite convincing, not at all because of how eloquent she is, but simply because she is telling the truth - but someone notices something else that no one else notices at all.

"I mean, I have a question, can I ask it?"

Yongyi, who raised his right hand, asked a question. The eyes that flickered with pure intellectual curiosity were really dazzling.

"Ask."

Even though his face still didn't change, everyone could hear Jinra's sentence "Ask." She said it quite reluctantly, and she didn't hide that she didn't want to answer this matter at all.

But just think about what I mentioned before--no matter what, as long as Yongyi wants to ask her, she will definitely ask.

"Well, you just mentioned the lower strategy and the upper strategy, right, so I want to hear what the middle strategy is."

Uh---extremely rare, Rinra hesitated.

Because she doesn't have a so-called middle strategy at all, but looking at everyone's expectant eyes, she is not too embarrassed to say it.

"This, the middle policy, the middle policy"

It's a pity that Jinluo temporarily thought about the so-called "middle strategy", but he still didn't get anything for a long time. This made her feel irritated all of a sudden.

"Anyway, where did you come from, you have watched too much drama! If you want to win, the best way is to win with more and less, and win with absolute strength."

"In the end, it's not about strength, I thought you could come up with some great tactics, and I was really disappointed."

As if bored with the prevarication of the Karma, Yongyi's tone was filled with an overflowing disappointment -- and this irritated the Karma.

"Tactics?! You're going to talk to me about tactics?"

As if some bad memories were aroused by the word "strategy", Jinluo, who had always lacked expression, actually laughed very rarely, and it was really like an iron tree blooming.

It's just...... It was almost cracked to the base of the ear, reminiscent of the menacing smile of the crescent moon. It's hard to believe it's a sign of a good mood. Even though the appearance of the kardra is actually very beautiful, but under the background of this evil form, it will only make people think that they are ghosts and gods in the world.

"Ugh...... What's wrong?"

It seemed that he was also taken aback by the rare actions of Jinluo, and Xingxiong Yongyi, who was known for his bravery and fortitude, couldn't help but take a step back as he spoke.

"I ask you, do you remember the first time we met? Whether you remember it or not, but I'll never forget."

Hearing Jinluo's words, Yongyi did not feel the emotion of recalling the past at all, but his expression was stagnant, and he smiled strangely (or embarrassed).

Looking at Yongyi's reaction, you know that she must not have forgotten.

It was the first time the four of them met the four of them, who were now very famous, who were just fledgling juniors.

About 800 years ago, when it was still a time of war and chaos when the demons were still divided, and the ghosts had not yet fully become the leader of the monster alliance in the Far East Island Country, Jinjira was still just a young ghost.

On that day, she just went on a scout mission as usual...... With her were three other guys they didn't know. Their names are Ibuki Suika, Hoshikuma Yuyi, and Ibaraki Kafa. Four ghosts as a squad.

Then, Xingxiong Yongyi insists that he must be the captain and take the lead, and the other two have no interest in this at all, and Jinra is bluffed by Yongyi's reliable appearance because of the first meeting...... She didn't expect this guy to be very defeated, so she agreed to Yongyi's proposal and made her the captain.

So far, it's been okay...... However, the subsequent development exceeded Jinjinra's expectations.

I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck, but they did detect the enemy...... The stragglers composed of hundreds of youkai are probably just a spontaneous group of youkai without a clan. It stands to reason that he should go back and report the situation at this time, but Xingxiong Yongyi has to think about tactics...... What's the tactical point of thinking about this? He didn't understand it at all.

What a tactic as a result! After the idiot couldn't say anything really constructive for a while, he raised his fist and hit it directly!

That's hundreds of youkai! And at that time, Xingxiong Yongyi was not a big monster, and in terms of age, she could be said to be a real girl...... Dealing with such a large number of youkai head-on alone, she ended up with only one dead word.

Why don't you just leave this idiot behind? ――――Without long hesitation, Jinra discarded this idea, which seemed to her to be very powerful.

Let's not mention the fact that the two have gone up to help -- it is not the style of ghosts to not save their companions when they see death.

As a result, after a fierce and bloody battle, the four ghost girls did kill more than thirty times their own enemies. This is thanks to their strength that far surpasses the youkai of the same period...... Although he is still young, his talent is beyond doubt.

If I have to say, it's a good ending. At least the relationship between the four of them has improved a lot because of this incident...... However, Jinkara will never forget how "reliable" Yongyi is, and her ingenious "tactics".

"Three days, I should be impressed...... You're not going to take me for an idiot, are you? I've grown a lot."

"Impressive?"

Jinluo didn't directly dismiss Yongyi's words, but from her rhetorical tone and the merciless harsh gaze that squinted at her, Yongyi finally understood something.

Yourself, shouldn't you have been despised by this guy in terms of personality?

"Wait a minute! Are you despising me?"

Did you realize this?! ――――For the hindsight of Xingxiong Yongyi, the onlookers have reached a miserable level.

"Who said I don't have a tactical mind! That's just a matter of his own opinion, and no one else thinks so."

There seemed to be a fire burning in her eyes, and she was fighting to save her reputation.

Seeing the confident Yongyi, most of the big monsters with a surviving conscience wisely remained silent...... They couldn't bear to let Xingxiong Yongyi's hopes be dashed so quickly.

But...... Since it is said that most of them are the majority, then it also means that there are still a handful of unscrupulous guys.

For example, Ibuki Sanka.

"Oops...... You're almost as good as I am."

Cuixiang, who said these words with a smile, was unexpectedly quite self-aware.

It's just that this time, even Yongyi comprehended it in an instant.

"Isn't that not at all?!"

"You didn't have one."

In the face of the ghost's angry cry, Suika shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. And then he continued.

"Admit it—you're a stupid big sister with brute force."

Like Hades, Suika gives an unquestionable definition of Yongyi's life. But here's the problem...... Yongyi didn't intend to accept it at all.

"Who wants to admit that kind of thing! That's not true at all!"

"No, that's the truth."

"I see......

With a clear expression, Yongyi nodded. Her tone was decisive.

"It's a scam...... You two are just playing with me, aren't you? You two are working together to trick me."

"It's a shame...... It's not like that. I might do that, but it's not that boring, and if you don't believe me, you can ask the other guys you know."

"Just ask! What am I afraid of?"

With that, Yongyi turned her gaze to the Ibaraki Hua fan very simply, but this time, the familiar friend looked away as if he didn't dare to look at her.

"Hey! You speak! Hua Fan?"

Moreover, for Yongyi's questioning, she seems to have made up her mind not to speak. The cherry lips that were just closed were a testament to that.

"Well, don't embarrass her...... How about someone else?"

Seeing this scene, Cui Xiang smiled bitterly and suggested to Yongyi.

「…… Okay."

Yongyi also reluctantly accepted this suggestion, but judging from her slightly shadowy expression, Hua Fan's performance left her with a rather bad premonition.

"So, that wisdom ......."

She shifted her target to the upright Tengu again, but ......

"Hey! What are you laughing at?"

"Well, I'm not smiling?"

As Zhiwuliu said, he really didn't laugh. It's just that the expression of the distorted facial muscles is the most powerful evidence that you want to laugh but don't dare to laugh, and you almost want to choke out internal injuries.

「…… Well, forget it, answer me quickly."

"Answer, what?"

"Do you think I'm tactically literate? Answer quickly, and don't lie."

"Well...... What do you think, Lord Heavenly Demon?"

But to Yongyi's surprise, Na Zhiwuliu did not answer her question directly, but handed the question to the Heavenly Demon on the side like kicking a ball.

"Do you want me to say?"

While dragging out her voice, the girl also looked Yongyi up and down with a malicious gaze.

"Maybe all of her tactical literacy has been transformed into those two lumps on her chest—ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Heavenly Demon hugged his head and screamed.

To be precise, it was an exclamation that belonged to a girl. As for why this happened, because in order to stop his sister from continuing to be rude, Minato Jingming on the side immediately released a phoenix eye fist on the girl's forehead that was painful but would never cause any substantial damage.

"I hope there will be a lot of her faux pas, Lord Yongyi."

Even the gloom on the apology has not weakened by half a point, this is the style of the man who is fighting Jingming.

But that kind of thing is good no matter what, for the current Xingxiong Yongyi, she wants to make this big monster a rare common-sense school (?) There is only one question answered.

"Answer me quickly, Jing Ming, do you think I'm a guy who thinks about tactics?"

The red jade eyes glared at the man in front of him, a look that could make a tiger or a lion retreat. However, Minato Jingming is by no means comparable to ordinary beasts, he is also a big monster. Therefore, Yongyi's extremely forceful eyes did not make him show any unusual looks.

"It's an artistic question."

"Hey! What do you mean by that? I'm supposed to be a very tactical person, right?"

"Why is every sentence so artistic? It's really nerve-wracking."

It's like a bolt from the blue.

Although Jing Ming did not answer directly, the brutality in his words was incomparable to anyone.

Yongyi no longer had the desire to continue asking, and all the previous words added up to not be as damaging as the two sentences of Dou Jingming.

Let's just admit it now. That way, your face can look better.

"I see, I'm just a stupid big sister with brute strength."

somewhat self-defeating words, especially with Yongyi's gray face at the moment, deepened this feeling.

"No, you're wrong, Yongyi, you're not stupid."

But Kinkara does not agree with this statement.

"You're just too blunt."

Xingxiong Yongyi can be said to be a typical ghost, her way of thinking is to really think in a straight line, simple and straight thinking, without any turns. It can be said that it is the nature of ghosts.

The intelligence of the ghost is also above that of people, and the ghost is not only a Shura who knows how to fight, in fact, most of the ghosts are proficient in Zen theory and have considerable literary skills -- even Yongyi has such a big appearance, if necessary, she can also create several good poems that can be passed down through the ages.

But the ghosts are too straightforward in their hearts, which makes them often the deceived party and makes them seem stupid.

But that's not something to be ashamed of. It is not the complexity of man that is worth boasting of, but the simplicity of the beast.

"Are you comforting me?"

Not expecting Mira to say that, Yongyi looked at her in surprise, as if she had met Karma for the first time.

"Yes, no, not exactly, I'm just saying what I think."

There was no look of lying on his face, and it was a matter of course, because there was no need for him to lie. But what's the deal with that slightly flushed face?

Yongyi opened her mouth and wanted to say something again.

-- It's a pity that the last leisure time has been completely exhausted unconsciously.

"I'm sorry."

A slightly hoarse, but strangely sexy female voice, suddenly inserted into this strange conversation.

"I didn't mean to interrupt your loving interaction, but ahhhh

With a slight wicked smile on his lips, Orochimaru pointed with his right hand to the opposite side, where the Moon People's army was located.

"I've probably gathered all the enemies."
