Chapter Eighty-Six: The Battle of the Heart
Takeshi was locked up in a cell underneath the Spirit Guard Pavilion, and when he saw him, his spirit was a little sad and worried, but he was still healthy physically and mentally and unharmed.
The samurai who had been arranged by Igataki to take them away led them into an elevator that led to the roof of the Spirit Guard Pavilion, where the doors opened to reveal an open-air corridor built into the roof, ending in the entrance to the Tower of Babel.
This is the iconic building that every Guardian Pavilion will have, from the top of the building to the tower in the sky.
It wasn't hard for Shiraba to guess that this tower could send them back to the ground. Underground, the sky is actually the ground.
The samurai entered the code on the machine next to the entrance door, and the entire tower lit up, and it was clear that the so-called Tower of Babel was actually a huge sightseeing elevator, and from here you could take the elevator up, and through the transparent walls, you could see the entire Nerima area slowly shrinking at your feet, which was a spectacular sight.
"Please wait, both of you. ”
It took time for the elevator to come down from such a high place, and Bai Maxiao took advantage of this gap to ask Wu Zhidao, "How did you escape from that makeshift cell to get here?"
Takeshi told him what had happened in that cell, and after Megumi had killed all the zombies with his terrifying powers, Akai Yoshiaki suddenly appeared and subdued Megumi, taking them both to the Spirit Guard.
"It seems that this omega is not a good word, they seem to be afraid of her." ”
"Aren't you afraid if you see such a terrifying power?"
Bai Maxiao remembered that at that time, she pinched the necks of those three people in the air with one hand, which was powerful, but it was not terrifying. But listening to his description, she actually turned all the dozens of zombies into powder at once, which is indeed very shocking.
"However, I heard them say that Xiaohui was taken away by the Akai family, so she won't be fine, right?"
Hearing this, Wu Zhi's face sank, and his face was full of worry, "Speaking of which, when Xiaohui married me, I only knew that her family didn't agree with her and me, so they cut off contact, so I never went to her house, and I didn't even see her father." ”
What family does not agree to this marriage and the like is obviously fake, but I am afraid that there is some secret between Xiaohui and her father, that is, the head of the Akai family - Akai Matsudaira, and the key to this secret is Omega.
"That'...... Are you going to go find her when you go up?"
"Of course. Wu Zhi said without hesitation.
"Then I'll go with you. I'm afraid you'll be scared to death if you don't get killed. ”
"Thank you. Actually, you don't need to help me, after the matter of Ping Er is resolved, you and I shouldn't have any intersection. And this time I fell into here, and I also burdened you. ”
Bai Maxiao shook his shoulders exaggeratedly, "Don't be so sensuous big man, no matter what, you can be regarded as saving me, even if you return your favor." ”
Wu Zhi smiled and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "If you are not an honest and law-abiding citizen, I really want to be a brother with you." How about it, do you want to consider coming to the Shinkou Group as a vice president?"
Bai Maxiao hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't be, I still have a bunch of things to do, but I don't have time to wade into the troubled waters of you." But brothers, there is no distinction between black and white. ”
Wu Zhi nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the horn sounded, resounding throughout the Spirit Guard Pavilion.
Hakuba Shino hurriedly held on to the railing, and from here he could overlook the entire Lingshou Pavilion.
There were already hundreds of samurai in place on the city walls, and one of them was a majestic general standing with a spear, and it was not difficult to guess that it was Akai Yoshiaki.
In the distance, in the jungle opposite them, there were crowds of people and flames.
After a while, Himiko's vanguard rushed out of the jungle, and dozens of zombies went straight to the city gate.
Akai Yoshiaki gave an order, and more than a hundred sharp arrows were immediately shot from the city wall, and these arrows were specially treated like their spears, and they were immediately destroyed when they were shot into the bodies of those zombies.
However, after the zombies that rushed out first turned into ashes, dozens more rushed out one after another, and there seemed to be no end.
Yoshiaki guessed that the other party might be more than a few dozen people, and if the zombies of the entire Sanban Street were mobilized, the scale would be at least thousands, so the troops he deployed were enough to defend the attack of thousands of zombies.
The spectacular sea of corpses frantically rushed towards the city wall, but most of them were shot into ashes, and many zombies rushed into the moat, but it was difficult to climb up, and for a time they fell into a situation of unilateral attack by the defenders.
Not only the white horse, but also Yoshiaki, who was standing at the head of the city, it was not difficult to see that in the jungle in the distance, on the chariot surrounded by six red-armored samurai, the woman wearing a gorgeous costume and a fox mask on her head.
It was dressed as an ancient Japanese witch, and it looked like Himiko himself.
At this time, she sat firmly in the rear, looking at the zombies that had become cannon fodder one by one, without the slightest touch, as if these vanguard troops were just trying to consume their energy.
However, these zombies were originally the ghost people of Nerima Ward, and to Yoshiaki it was like doing it to his own people, and not only him, but all the samurai did not have the slightest sense of honor, as if they were fighting a dishonorable war.
But they don't have a choice because they are on the defensive side.
Yoshiaki didn't panic in the face of this endless sea of corpses, he waited for the guards of the first and second streets to lead the samurai to pour in from behind the enemy, and then he could lead his army out of the city and go straight to the witch.
It didn't take long for new lights to appear in the rear of the jungle, and Yoshiaki knew that reinforcements had arrived.
But the strange thing is that the enemy army did not face the sneak attack behind him as he imagined, but continued to charge meaninglessly smoothly.
Soon, he saw a red-armored samurai walk up to Himiko with two round objects on a tray in his hand, Himiko glanced at them, reached out and pointed at them, and the two balls flew towards the city.
Throwing it from such a distance onto the city wall with precision is a force to be reckoned with.
However, these two things thrown up made all the samurai, including Yoshiaki, like five thunderbolts.
Those two round things are the heads of the guards of the first and second streets.
This not only means the death of the two guardians, but also means that reinforcements will not come.
However, what happened next made everyone understand that the development of events was actually worse.
I saw that the enemy soldiers who came out of the bushes were no longer those ghost people, but the samurai of the first and second streets, their eyes lost their sparkle, leaving only a deep hollow, and they slowly walked towards the city gate step by step, like a group of lost children about to return to their homes.
Although everyone knew that they had been infected with an unknown plague and had become zombies, not a single arrow was fired, and everyone was silent, including Yoshiaki.
If it is dishonorable to attack one's own people, then in the face of one's own comrades-in-arms, the falling blade represents betrayal, none of them wants to betray their comrades-in-arms, they would rather be the ones who are betrayed.
Watching them walk through the grass, down the ravine, climb up with difficulty, and then climb up the city walls, the warriors at the top of the wall even wanted to reach out and welcome them back, saying "Welcome home" to them.
However, someone really did it, and that person was still a general.
The samurai who turned into a zombie looked at Yoshiaki's outstretched hand and bit it without hesitation.
Everyone was stunned, but it was this scene that woke everyone up from the fantasy of welcoming their comrades.
Yoshiaki endured the pain, pulled it up, hugged it tightly, and two lines of hot tears fell from the eyes of the iron-clad general.
"I'm sorry......" Yoshiaki grabbed its hair with one hand, pulled out the fakika around its waist with the other, and cut off its head.
The zombie's body fell to the wall in response, and Yoshiaki held its head in a voice like a bell, "Guard the Spirit Guarding Pavilion!"
This completely woke everyone up, and they did not hesitate to stab their spears into the zombies who were about to climb the wall.
Yoshiaki made them understand that this was not betrayal, but loyalty.
In order to guard the Spirit Pavilion and protect everything you want to protect, even your comrades-in-arms must be able to do it. Because they are soldiers, but also a samurai.
In this heart-to-heart battle, the shogunate side did not lose anything except the bloody left hand of the great shogun.
Himiko stood up from her step, as if tired of such tactics and as if it was time to move on to the next stage, she did not let the zombies charge again, but instead sent her Sun Tengu Clan.
Dozens of fiery red armor came out of the jungle and stepped heavily on the ground step by step, and the rain of arrows from the pavement could not penetrate their armor at all.
They all have ghostly heads and lion faces, white-haired shawls, and tengu masks that show indifference and fearlessness.
Faced with an enemy whose arrows could not penetrate, Yoshiaki knew that the war had officially begun, "Collect your bow!"
All the warriors put away their bows and arrows, picked up the spears stuck at their sides, and with a loud shout, aimed their spears at the red armor beneath the city.
The white horse on the roof of the building saw this scene, and gasped, these scorching sun tengu are so powerful that he saw them when he was in the Shuiquan Tomb, they have no body, just an empty set of armor, but they are still infinitely powerful and fearless, just like the ruthless robot killers in the movie, human beings are very weak in front of them.
Those red armor came to the moat, and without hesitation, they jumped up and went straight to the head of the city. The warriors immediately stabbed with their spears, but the spear head stabbed the armor and broke instantly, and then they were slashed to the ground by the knives drawn by the red armor.
In the blink of an eye, several samurai were killed, and these red-armored swords were similar to those used by the shogunate samurai, and when they slashed these samurai composed of demons, they were immediately wiped out.
"Collect the gun, draw the sword!" Yoshiaki reacted quickly and gave the order, pulled out the saber at his waist, and cut a red armor The moment he slashed a red armor, the blade suddenly emitted a cyan light, and then a knife split a red armor in half.
Yoshiaki looked at his glowing knife in surprise, and more and more cyan light appeared in the corner of his eye.
I saw that the swords in the hands of the samurai who were fighting side by side with him next to him came out one after another, and when I looked closely, I found that unknown droplets of water were falling from the sky like rain, dripping on each samurai's sword, and the sword immediately glowed.
These unknown liquids that fell from the sky, like the fairy dew of the gods, brought great blessings to their weapons, and the shining knives slashed at these armors for a while, forming an extremely significant effect.
Yoshiaki didn't believe that there would be any gods in this world, and he followed the direction of the liquid and saw the white horse shino standing on the top of the Spirit Guard Pavilion.
