When the army of the Inner Mansion and Ashina started in the square in front of the Inner City Gate, Lu Xiao revisited the old place and came to the outer castle where he had first met with Tengu.

Due to the evacuation order of Genichiro, most of the people who originally fled the war here were moved into the city for a while, and Lu Xiao only felt the breath of one person in the castle of Nuoda.

"Oh? I didn't expect that there would be people coming to this place that has been reduced to a battlefield. ”

An old woman with a hunched waist walked out slowly, looking at the heavily armed Lu Xiao with cloudy eyes.

"Young man, you didn't come here on purpose to fight the 'ghosts', did you?"

The old women in the country seem to have special abilities, and Lu Xiao guessed the other party without saying anything.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you."

The old woman sat tremblingly on the empty castle wall and sat down slowly: "With your current state, the odds of facing the 'ghost' are not very good, so let's take advantage of the last bit of time to recuperate." ”

Lu Xiao nodded silently, climbed to the top floor of the outer city tower with his hook and claw, and sat down on the spot to enter a meditative state.

The outer castle was very close to the battlefield, but this castle, which had long been deserted and dilapidated, had long been neglected, and occasionally a few of the Inner Mansion Red Reserve Army could only see the old woman sleeping against the corner.

As time passed, the shouts of killing on the battlefield gradually weakened, and it seemed that one side was the first to die down before the battle was decided.

More than an hour of meditation could not fully restore Lu Xiao's lost magical power, but at least his body was basically restored under the treatment of the Shroud of Eden.

With the temporary withdrawal of the army of the Ashina Province from the battlefield, the red-eyed Red Reserve Army led by Daoshun became the "protagonist" on the battlefield.

Having lost the enemy on Ashina's side, the irrational red-eyed people rightfully turned their attention to the inner house.

Naomatsu Ii, the leading general of the Inner Prefecture, was puzzled by the sudden retreat of the Ashina Province's side, and the opponent's actions were completely out of line with the rules of the battlefield.

Faced with this group of red-eyed people who did not distinguish between the enemy and me, the enraged Ii Naomatsu ordered these spoilers to be killed first.

The physical ability of the red-eyed red bei, which had been strengthened by the water, had been greatly improved, and the half-crazy Daoshun had really eliminated the red-eyed's fear of flames, and the preparations made in advance by the Inner Mansion side had become completely useless.

After all, Daoshun's position was biased towards the country of Reed, and as the only red-eyed leader who still retained little reason, he led his red-eyed and red-eyed troops to launch a frantic counterattack against the inner government regardless of casualties.

Watching from the wall wall, Kuichiro watched the dog-eat-dog battle between the two sides with a blank face, and the Uchifu finally eliminated the last of the red-eyed people with a huge numerical advantage.

But in this not large-scale battle, the strong and fierce red eyes caused a lot of damage to the inner house, and weakened the inner government's military strength to a certain extent.

"Push the big tube up!"

Dressed in crimson armor and wearing a feather weave, Naomatsu Ii ordered in a loud voice: "Aim at the city gate and open fire!" ”

"Boom!"

The breech small-caliber guns lit their fuses one after another and launched a continuous artillery bombardment of the temporarily reinforced city walls of Koichiro.

Standing still on the rampart, he struck at him with a body strengthened by perfect water, splitting the solid lead bullet that would not explode in half.

Koichiro's attitude and performance boosted the morale of Ashina's army, and the first round of artillery bombardment in the Uchifu failed to break through the defense of the city walls.

"Boom! Boom! ”

Heavy footsteps came from the side of the battlefield, and Ichiro, who was about to get Ashina Kuni to return fire with a large barrel, suddenly stopped all operations.

"Wait! Everyone bent down and waited for a while! ”

As the sound of footsteps approached, the soldiers of Uchifu and Ashina on the battlefield saw clearly the creature making a loud footstep sound at the same time.

Standing at the height of the battlefield and directing the battle, Ii Naomatsu looked at this monster at least 8 meters tall in amazement.

"What is this...... Does the country still have this kind of weapon? ”

The one-armed trolls near the battlefield have limbs close to those of humans...... Its head burned with flames, but the flames did not hurt the monster itself.

"Roar!"

The trolls entering the battlefield let out a roar of anger and resentment, and their legs stomped the ground, jumping nimbly to the center of the inner army.

A flame arm of energy suddenly grew from the missing left arm, and the troll swung this arm to smash wildly through the army of the Inner Palace, and a large number of the Red Reserve Army turned into pitch-black char under the scorching flames.

Looking at the trolls wreaking havoc in the Inner Mansion Army, the Reeds side also had a lot of apprehensions, and the soldiers were glad that the order to retreat came in time, otherwise they would have to face this giant monster like the poor worms of the Inner Palace.

"Boom!"

The solid cannonball from the barrel slammed into the troll's flank, causing him to pause for a moment.

But this was followed by an even more furious counterattack from the troll, and he swept across with that flaming arm, igniting a row of large cylinders, and the gunpowder piled up together burned and exploded, greatly weakening the siege power of the inner house.

At the same time, Yongzhen finally rushed to the scene with a knife in her hand, and when she saw the ape who was completely caught in resentment and couldn't extricate herself, she bit her lower lip heavily with her snow-white teeth, and was about to rush out to stop the other party as she moved her feet.

"Wait."

A deliberately lowered male voice sounded from behind Yongzhen, and the other party impolitely pressed the groping pig hand on her shoulder.

Women in this era were very conservative, and the slightest touch of a strange man's body was considered indecent.

"Boom!"

Yongzhen's face turned cold, and the swiftly unsheathed Taidao slashed behind him with the back of the knife, intending to force the other party away and teach this hairy guy a lesson by the way.

"Wow~"

Stopping her behind Yongzhen was naturally Lu Xiao, who was accustomed to the modern way of greeting.

In the face of the sudden attack of the knife, Lu Xiao relied on his powerful dynamic vision to capture the trajectory of the knife, and pinched the blade that was still in motion with two fingers.

"Don't get excited, it's me."

Seeing Lu Xiao's slightly helpless expression, Yongzhen realized that he was a little too nervous, and he didn't recognize Lu Xiao's voice.

"I'm sorry."

Yongzhen, who withdrew the knife, folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen and apologized to Lu Xiao: "I thought it was ......"

Lu Xiao waved his hand to change the topic: "It's not important, let's get down to business first." ”

"Your Excellency only controls the incarnation of the resentful ghost with the last of his sense, and the main target of the attack is the inner house, let's consume his physical strength first, and by the way, let the inner house suffer some more losses."

Yongzhen gritted his teeth and retorted, "But the more people die, the stronger the Ghost of Resentment will be, in case he grows to the point where no one can check and balance......"

"Don't worry."

Lu Xiao smiled and gave a thumbs up: "I will monitor his movements, find a balance between the physical wear of the resentful ghost and the absorption of the soul to strengthen himself, and strike at the most suitable time." ”

"You."

Lu Xiao stretched out two fingers of helpless dotted Yongzhen's forehead: "I thought what the new goal you said was, but didn't you still plan to sacrifice yourself, and my reminder before parting was in vain?" ”

Yongzhen subconsciously reached out and touched her forehead, Lu Xiao's fingers didn't actually touch her skin, but the breeze brought by the movement of her fingers had already blown onto Yongzhen's forehead.

The warm body temperature seemed to be transmitted to Yongzhen's body through this breeze, and her originally tense face unconsciously showed a touch of redness, and her solemn expression relaxed a lot.

"I just want you to learn the art of self-defense, not really want you to take on the responsibility of killing Shura."

Lu Xiao patted the immortal tears in his hand: "Leave this kind of heavy work to me to deal with, this should be the last thing I helped Wei Ming deal with before leaving." ”

Yongzhen, whose face was ruddy, suddenly paused, and the blood on his face quickly disappeared.

'One last thing, are you going to leave too......
