Nishi, Osaka-ku, where the No. 8 gathering place is located.

The battle was still going on, and at the rear of the battlefield, the small huge stone monument with metal blocks piled up was nearly ninety meters long, and if it continued, it might be completely completed this morning.

And on the plain, five kilometers away from the megalith, endless tents are piled up, and the Self-Defense Forces are also people, they all need to rest, and no one can participate in the war for days on end.

I can only rest in this way, but even so, the damage of the Self-Defense Forces in just a few days has been as high as nearly 10,000, and if this terrible casualty is placed in other regions, it will be a catastrophe.

Even the Osaka District, which has a strong military force, has reached the point of breaking its muscles and bones, otherwise Qi Wu Xuanzong would have sent people to destroy the gathering place, instead of gathering people little by little like now.

"It's time for it to end."

Standing in the midst of the tents, Wood murmured softly.

"Who?"

……

"Your Excellency, there has been an accident at the No. 8 megalith."

Early in the morning, just after finishing the meal, Qiwu Xuanzong was taken to the combat command room by the messenger in a hurry.

All the high-ranking officials of Osaka City gathered here, and everyone had a heavy face on their faces.

"What the hell is going on?"

Qi Wu Xuanzong frowned, and suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness.

"That Wood has appeared!"

The messenger's face was extremely ugly: "He sprinkled a potion to lure the mesozoa at the headquarters of the Self-Defense Forces, and somehow attracted up to 3,000 flying araguts with bat genes. ”

"What?"

Qi Wu Xuanzong's expression sank, if he couldn't think of the connection between the bat and Wood today, then he would really be a fool, but he never thought that that little ghost could even summon the original intestines.

"The bat genetic aragutes that quietly converged because of the attractant, attacked Osaka from the air at the same time, and due to the suddenness of the incident, the fighter wing in charge of defense was broken by them, and then rushed to the ...... After fighting all night, just fell asleep in the Self-Defense Forces station. ”

The communicator's voice grew quieter and quieter, and at last it became inaudible, but it was so clear in the silence of the operations command room.

A large number of flying gastaroids rushed into the station?

And it's the Self-Defense Force, which has been fighting all night and has just been replaced from the battlefield.

Qi Wu Xuanzong sat on the chair, his old face seemed to be a little older at this moment, but his bloodshot eyes were filled with an extremely irritable mood.

The room was silent, but there was hope and tentatively asked, "And then, what about the damage?" ”

The messenger was silent when he heard this, and only after a while did he shake his head in despair.

"In a hurry, although the self-defense forces guarding the megalith were back in time, 5,000 of the 8,000 self-defense forces stationed in the station were still infected with protosagulars, and the number of flying species in the megalithic monument was as high as 8,000, and the remaining more than 10,000 self-defense forces were attacked from inside and outside, and there was no way to get out of the predicament...... Request support! ”

"Then what are you waiting for, why don't you hurry up and mobilize the Self-Defense Forces?" The high-ranking official's face changed: "We must not allow the large-scale infection to expand again, and we must not allow these eight thousand protosagulars to enter the residential area under any circumstances." ”

"Can't move!"

Qi Wu Xuanzong suddenly spoke, plunging the battle command room into silence, and all the high-ranking officials looked at Qi Wu Xuanzong inexplicably.

"What's the news over there at the Gathering Place of the Sons of Hindrance?"

Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at Qiwu Xuanzong with some dissatisfaction, a large-scale infection had broken out, where could they take care of that small gathering place?

"Huh?"

The sound of surprise came, and everyone looked at it when they heard it, only to see that the face of another messenger in front of the operation desk changed greatly: "The Self-Defense Forces outside the gathering place of the Cursed Son have just lost contact. ”

"Just now?"

Qi Wu Xuanzong frowned.

The messenger's face turned pale, and his tone was full of horror: "The two sides changed almost at the same time, because there was a change on the front line, so ......"

Qi Wu Xuanzong glanced at the messenger with a gloomy look in his eyes, and then withdrew his gaze.

"Let everyone be on alert, then ......"

A touch of madness appeared on Qi Wu Xuanzong's face, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, but more resentment, the loss of 20,000 self-defense forces, even he could not afford it.

Not to mention......

This is not only the loss of human casualties, but also the loss of various weapons, fighters, and tanks, and it can be said that even if he wins this battle, Osaka City's plan to unify the five regions will be postponed indefinitely.

This made Qi Wu Xuanzong not angry and not crazy.

"Launch ballistic missiles and give me the !! to destroy all the cursed children"

This is what Wood has always been afraid of, although he has been acting secretly these days, it has left the possibility of victory for Qiwu Xuanzong, because only in this way can Qiwu Xuanzong not go crazy.

But now, the situation has reversed, and Qi Wu Xuanzong can't care about what will happen in the future, and the top priority is to weaken the power that that little ghost has as much as possible.

He hadn't cared about the cursed sons in the gathering place before, but the silent demise of thousands of self-defense forces could no longer make Qiwu Xuanzong continue to despise the strength of the cursed sons, and it was better to destroy them than to let these children become Wood's strength.

As for the future......

It's a big deal to capture the Sendai area, and then there will be a certain number of cursed sons to drive!

Suddenly, there was darkness in the operations command room.

"What's wrong?"

"Is there a power outage?"

"What kidding, it's daytime."

“……”

The entire command room was in chaos, but some people hurriedly ran to the window with a quick response, and when they saw the situation outside, they were all stunned.

"Bats... Lots of bats ......"

Following the prestige, I saw an endless stream of bats converging into black smoke, enveloping the entire White Fort as if the sky had fallen, and the terrifying number obscured the sight.

The bats were crazy, charging at the Self-Defense Forces outside the White Castle, and the black pressure was so overwhelming that people couldn't see anything a meter away.

Only the Self-Defense Forces in those armored vehicles were safe and sound, but even then, they couldn't move at all, for fear of accidentally running their own people under the car.

"Ahhhhh——!h

Suddenly, a scream rang out, making everyone's expressions change drastically.

Subconsciously looked at the place where the screams came from, but in addition to bats, bats were still bats.

No one saw that among the bats, little girls were shuttling through the crowd at great speed, armed with all kinds of weapons, mercilessly and frantically slaughtering everyone in the Self-Defense Forces who saw it.

This fear of not being able to see the enemy made those self-defense forces collapse, and some of them who were not able to bear it directly chose to shoot, but the targets they hit were often people from their own side.

The whole front of the White Castle was in chaos, but there was nothing to be seen in the White Castle command room, and all the windows were covered by bats.

In the bat colony, an unmanned road is gradually being opened.

Wood walked forward step by step, and with each step, blood pooled, forming a stream of blood above his head.

A terrifying sense of oppression permeated the air, and scarlet robes condensed out, sharp ears and sharp fangs.

The corners of his mouth gradually hooked up a cruel arc.

Bang!

The walls of the White Castle shattered open, and Wood stepped in, blood-colored streams rushing out of the room, like blood-colored spider silk.

The most formed a spider web densely spread throughout the White Castle.

In the cobweb, the strange smile on Wood's face grew stronger, a smile that was not at all human.

It's chilling just to look at.

The next moment, Wood raised his head and looked at the top of his head, bowed slightly, and the whole person squatted down.

Bang——!

A loud explosion sounded, and Wood's figure ejected like a rocket, and the speed was extremely fast, piercing the roof of the shed in an instant.

Where it had been standing, a huge depression about a meter long and wide appeared, and even the edges of the depression were covered with spider silk cracks.

In the blink of an eye, Wood was on the top floor of the White Castle.

Blood-colored streams converged and condensed into a blood-colored blade the size of a corridor, heading straight for the deepest room.

But......

Bang!

There was an extremely dull explosion, and a gray air stream broke through the door, colliding directly with the blood-colored giant blade.

Wood looked up and saw a short figure creeping out of the gray air.
