Chapter 887: Raid on Ryu Island
The Archipelago is made up of hundreds of islands, large and small. In the dark of night, only a dozen or so islands in the archipelago are lit. One of the largest, long, crescent-shaped islands is called Ryujima. In the aftermath of the cataclysm, Japan's population of 100 million dropped to less than 1 million. Over the next half-century, countless more people died.
Today, there are fewer than 100,000 survivors living on Ryu and other scattered islands.
Just on Ryu Island, the largest island currently inhabited by Japanese survivors, it hosts the lives of more than 70,000 people. They followed the example of Qin and revived the shogunate system in Japan. The supreme leader is the general, and the capable person is the samurai class. The resources and wealth of the entire Ryushima were concentrated in the hands of the shogun and samurai class. In the center of the long and narrow island of Ryushima, a bustling city was built.
The city's houses are neat and the streets are orderly. It is all built in the style of ancient Japan, and in this turbulent era, the capital city called Shin-Osaka has a strange luxury. Shin-Osaka is protected by a wall of about twenty meters, and the cannons and machine guns on the high wall face the world outside the city coldly.
Only the samurai class and their families were eligible to live in Shin-Osaka, while the current shogun, Gentsuna Hirata, resided in the castle's grandest castle, the castle tower. The castle was built entirely in the ancient way, with a red tile roof and a white stone base, and the vermilion and white colors are dazzling even at night. There are also roofs with raised frames and wing corners, making you feel as if you have stepped back in time to feudal Japan.
However, in stark contrast to the beautiful new Osaka, the simple sluice houses spread out around Osaka Castle, the intricate and foul-smelling streets, and the untouchables who are unclothed and covered with deviant tissues are more like the silhouette of this era. It was by squeezing tens of thousands of untouchables that the shoguns and samurai amassed their current wealth.
Just as the singing and dancing in Osaka Castle was leveling, the storm clouds that spread from the distant sea had already arrived over Ryushima.
The attack unfolded without warning, and balls of pitch-black fog tumbled down, varying in size and in surprising numbers. In the dark of night, it was like a rainstorm. Tens of thousands of fog clouds fell towards Ryujima at great speed, dragging long black tails of flame in mid-air, and the roaring sound of breaking the air woke up the inhabitants of Ryujima.
A man covered in dirt ran out of the gate, looking at the sky in confusion. A ball of fog smashed on a shanty not far from him, and the simple house made of wooden planks and iron sheets collapsed, causing a violent wind. Then something lifted the debris of the house and flew away, and a monster came out of the ruins.
It looks like an octopus with insect arthropods, with a tentacle-wielding overlord octopus on its upper body and a strange insect body on its lower body. The monster's octopus had two huge eyes on its head that flashed blue light, and then its tentacles waved and burrowed into the nearby shantytown. One of them engulfed the stunned man, and the tentacles lifted him up.
In mid-air, the man saw a hellish scene.
Tens of thousands of monsters descended from the sky, enveloped in a pitch-black mist, and after falling to the ground, the fog dispersed, and strange creatures crawled out of the mist. They are basically some sea creatures, and in them, the man sees the manta rays that only exist in the deep sea, and even a few giant whales the size of the mothership!
No matter what kind of sea creatures they are, their lower bodies have insect bodies or arthropods. The beings had been mutated, the chassis-like arthropods that allowed the monsters to propel quickly across the land, and they toppled shacks like a black tide, turning countless civilians into corpses and shards.
The man suddenly felt breathless, but it was the octopus underneath that contracted its tentacles. Under the thick tendril, the man even heard his own bones shattered, and then his body became very light, and the man saw the world spin in his eyes. A giant whale passed under his nose, the whale's mouth opened, and countless purple light particles concentrated on the outside of the whale's mouth.
Suddenly, the night brightened, and a bright beam of light burst out of the whale's mouth. The beam of light went straight forward, setting off a wave of qi. When the beam of light hit the walls of Osaka Castle, a huge ball of fire slowly rose and finally turned into a boiling flame in the dark night!
The world is crazy. With the last thoughts, the man completely surrendered to darkness.
This world is indeed crazy, the monsters that appeared on Ryu Island completely subverted people's cognition, even in terms of the madness of this era, it is difficult for people to accept that after putting some marine life on the body of a worm, it has become a biological weapon for attacking cities and plundering the land! But this is the case, so many monsters are still living in the polluted sea not long ago.
When they were swept up in storm clouds, they underwent a frantic and rapid transformation. When thrown again, they have become terrifying biological weapons. Of course, if modified in such an almost crude way, it is destined that the lifespan of these biological weapons will not be too long, most of them will die in a few hours, and the remaining few will not survive for 24 hours, but this is enough for the existence in the storm cloud.
An hour was enough for it to bulldoze all the resistance on the island.
This is the ice-cold result after calculations.
Monsters fall in the slums, and more often in Osaka Castle. The presence in the storm cloud could clearly sense the reaction of powerful energy in the bustling capital below. In addition to the underground nuclear power plant that provides the operation of the city, there are also some high-level abilities.
So Storm Cloud took special care of Osaka Castle, and the number of monsters that fell into the city was greater, and the density was greater. And it itself quietly moved towards the sky above the capital.
Clouds of black mist smashed into Osaka Castle, and out of the fog crawled out of the hideous creatures. They tore down the towers full of ancient charm, overturned the houses, and treated the ordinary nobles who had no power as a delicious snack. Flames burned in every corner of Osaka Castle, and the rising flames even lit up the night sky. Ten minutes after the monster arrived, the army in Osaka Castle reacted and began to fight back.
One officer after another roared, and from the warehouse, a mecha three meters high, designed to be the image of a Japanese samurai, strode out. They use high-frequency blades in the shape of katanas, or attack directly with suspended machine guns and howitzers. It's just that there are too few such mechas, and there are only about thirty such samurai mecha in the entire Osaka Castle.
Under the command of the commander, usually a squad is paired with a mech, but it forms a combat unit.
However, the thirty or so combat units were still too weak in the face of thousands of monsters of various sizes, and although the army of Osaka Castle desperately resisted, the flames of war inevitably spread to the castle tower, where the shogun was located.
In the watchtower of the castle tower, a man in his forties, dressed in a wide samurai robe, was trembling. He roared, "Somebody told me what's going on!"
The man in front of him is Gentsuna Hirata. He himself is also a tenth-order powerhouse, otherwise how can he suppress the nearly 100,000 civilians under his hands. When he roared, the uncontrollable power was immediately released, causing a huge depression to several staff members next to him.
"General, this may be a biological weapon developed by Qin Xin. They came so suddenly, we ......" said one of the staff, shuddering, and his head flew as he finished speaking.
Hirata Gentsuna put away the blood-stained katana and shouted: "Rice bucket, how could this be an attack from Qin! Not to mention whether they have this level of biotechnology, just to silently cross the endless mountains and attack our Ryukyu Island through the territory of those Hindus and Iranian pigs, this is an impossible task in itself!"
The general's tail note was still lingering in the air, and suddenly a huge coercion came from overhead. In the face of this coercion, even a tenth-order powerhouse like Hirata Gentsuna is as small as an insect.
Storm clouds floating over the capital, and the clouds on the outer side were churning violently. Then the clouds lit up with sporadic lights, and then hundreds of pillars of clouds fell like cannons. Large and small pillars of cloud blasted straight into Osaka Castle, and the first pillar of cloud reached the ground two seconds after launch, and when it bombarded the ground, a ten-meter-high castle tower exploded!
After the pillar of clouds detonated the tower, a circle of black mist spread. After the black fog dispersed for 100 meters, it split into dozens of tiny fog columns, which produced a series of small explosions when they hit the object. So when hundreds of thick pillars of clouds fell into Osaka Castle, the entire city was almost covered in continuous explosions.
The castle tower was awe-inspiring, and a pillar of cloud fell straight towards the tallest and largest building. Hirata Gentsuna roared angrily, and four prismatic void energy stones opened on his forehead and chest. The blue flame of light came out of his body, and he held the katana in his hand, and the moment the roof of the Heavenly Pavilion was split and separated, a flash of sword light flashed in the general's hand.
The sword light went upstream, hitting the cloud pillar. The docking of energy exploded in mid-air with a circle of black and blue ripples, and where the ripples passed, the building collapsed and shattered, and several staff members were shocked to death by the energy aftermath of this collision.
The cloud pillar dispersed, and a line of blood slowly left between Gentsuna's mouth. His face was earthy, and his hands and feet were trembling slightly. He tried his best to neutralize the power of a pillar of clouds, and it is conceivable that the many pillars of clouds that fell in the city had already wiped out his army along with the monsters besieging the city.
The presence in the storm cloud clearly does not have much patience.
As soon as the general made the idea of evacuating, the pressure in the sky returned. From the storm clouds, more than a dozen bright lights flickered, and then an equal number of pillars of clouds fell with a bang, all of them heading towards the castle tower and anchoring Hirata Gentsuna. The general's eyes were wide open, and more than a dozen pillars of clouds were almost next to each other, without a trace of gaps at all, like a black waterfall hanging from the sky, instantly washing over the castle tower!
The whole of Ryushima was shaken.
The castle tower is a thing of the past, and the magnificent castle and its owner have disappeared cleanly. On its original site, only a bottomless round pit remains!
