Chapter 145: Regaining the Heart of the City

The shattered Tower of Babel, the dilapidated Spirit Guard Pavilion, everything around it is in ruins.

Flags stood on the scarred walls, swirling sun patterns swaying in the wind, but the flags were empty, and the desolate city lay crooked corpses, tattered, and a few men in tattered linen clothes were kicking a spherical object, laughing and chasing, as if they were playing a football game.

Not far away, several people were setting fire to a broken corpse of unknown nature, and one of them, a diminutive man, tore off a piece of roasted burnt meat, put it into his mouth, and said, "The meat of these shogunate samurai is more fragrant than ordinary oni people." ”

The kickers kicked the ball-like thing to them, and the dwarf grabbed it, tossed it aside, and scolded, "Don't kick it if you don't want to eat it!

The man who kicked the ball pouted and kicked the other head next to him into the field, continuing their game.

The dwarf stretched, ripped off another chunk of meat, and left the crowd to the other side of the crowd.

The people here are surrounding a ghost folk with broken limbs, and one of the fat men is slicing the ghost folk's flesh piece by piece with a knife, and he smirked and said, "Look, this is Ling Chi, every knife is exquisite, who of you wants to try it......"

The dwarf took a bite of the barbecue in his hand and scolded "a bunch of crazy people", he looked at the ghost people, without a trace of pain, but full of despair.

The ghost people themselves were demon-possessed corpses, and they did not feel pain, and such cruel torture was not painful for him, but the little mutilation of the limbs made him feel deep fear.

The dwarf brought the barbecue to his mouth and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

The ghost folk knew what kind of meat it was, and kept his mouth shut and shook his head in a panic.

The dwarf shrugged his shoulders, and suddenly a spider's leg reached out from his back, and stabbed into the head of the ghost man with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, the ghost man turned into a cloud of ashes.

"Are you sick? Lao Tzu cut it for a long time, and you died in one fell swoop?!"

The dwarf pouted and left with a nonchalant expression. The fat man with the knife scolded a few more words, turned his head, and his eyes were full of calm, "Next." ”

The dwarf staggered around the city walls, feeling a little bored, and climbed up the ruined city walls, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Not far away, dense figures approached here, their bodies swaying, slowly walking towards here, each of their faces was rotten and broken, like a group of corpses that had been rotting for a long time.

The dwarf was overjoyed, and shouted to the people inside the walls, "Come and see!

Most of them were as bored as he was, and as soon as they heard the amusement, they climbed up the city wall and saw the magnificent sea of corpses moving in this direction.

The fat man who had just demonstrated Ling Chi licked a mouthful of the black blood on the blade and stretched out his hand, "Bow." ”

Someone next to him immediately handed over a bow and a bag of arrows, and the fat man opened his bow and shot an arrow at the group of corpses, which was deflected.

"What a broken technique!" the dwarf scolded, snatched his bow, drew an arrow and aimed it for a long time, and an arrow shot out, hitting a zombie in the chest, and the zombie immediately disappeared.

The fat man was not convinced, snatched the bow back, picked up five arrows unconvinced, shot them out in a volley, and plunged into the corpse group, but only shot one zombie in the arm, the zombie staggered, and continued to walk forward as if nothing happened.

The dwarf laughed, "Say you, you still don't accept it! You can't shoot a single one of such a dense group of corpses!"

The fat man was so angry that he threw his bow to the ground, and immediately someone next to him grabbed it and shot an arrow, and then the men scrambled for it, and everyone wanted to have fun.

There were still many bows and arrows on the hundreds of corpses not far away, but they were keen to grab the same one, laughing and scolding, and it was very lively.

The corpses slowly walked through the broken walls, into the city, and walked towards the ruined Spirit Guard Pavilion.

"Why do you think these zombies are coming here all of a sudden?" the fat man asked.

The dwarf replied, "Then who knows, maybe the queen has another offensive mission, so our team leader has gathered these zombies." ”

"It's strange to say, there are fewer and fewer zombies recently, and those ghost people don't know where to run, and they can't produce more zombies. ”

"Don't you know, all the occupied areas have been 'spelled' by Lord Mo Rui now, and no matter where those ghost people hide, they can't escape the fate of turning into zombies. No, there are so many of them that suddenly appeared, and they are probably all ghosts in this district. ”

"Lord Mo Rui and the queen are really a perfect match, I really don't understand why the queen would marry that human surnamed White Horse. ”

"That white horse is a descendant of the Spirit God, and the pillars of the enchantment here are all closed by him, otherwise we can be stationed in the spirit town of the sixth district of the center of the capital so leisurely?"

The two short and fat guys were chatting, and a dozen zombies staggered up to the top of the city, swaying in front of them.

The dwarf kicked a zombie in front of him and scolded, "Don't mess around here, it's disgusting to look at, get out of here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to see a trace of murderous aura flashing in the eyes of this zombie, how could there be such feelings in the eyes of this unconscious thing?

He thought he was mistaken, but in the next second, his head flew up from his neck.

Those zombies have already swayed in front of everyone, and those people are defenseless looking at this group of poor cannon fodder, who knows that these cannon fodder suddenly took out a bright knife from their sleeves, and they all had a different place before they could scream.

The thousands of demon puppets outside the Spirit Guard Pavilion were killed in an instant by these thousands of zombies who seemed to be unthreatening, and strangely, they were not using teeth, but sharp blades.

There are still thousands of people in the Spirit Guard Pavilion, hearing the movement outside, they all scolded the people outside for being too noisy, and the next moment outside the gate rushed in a tidal wave of zombies holding samurai swords, and cut them when they saw people, and when these demon puppets reacted that this group of people was not zombies, there were only a few hundred people left, and at the same time they were surrounded by these people, and the leader of this group of demon puppets just showed their spider legs, and was cut into spider sauce by the samurai who was dressed as a zombie.

The overwhelming battle lasted less than half an hour, a tall zombie stood on the roof of the Spirit Guard Pavilion, waved his knife to cut the vortex sun flag, looked down at the "zombies" downstairs who raised their knives and cheered, and said to the communicator on his wrist, "This is Gen Sosuke, the Spirit Town stronghold in Chiyoda Ward has been pulled out, and we have recaptured the Spirit Guard Pavilion here." ”

......

"Reichomachi, Chiyoda-ku has been recaptured!"

In the conference room, this news made everyone cheer, this is not only a sign of the return of a spirit town, such news they have received four after another a few minutes ago, which means that the six spirit towns in the center of the city have all been reoccupied by them, and the first battle plan of the Dongzhou counterattack has been completed.

Bai Maxiao let out a sigh of relief and slumped in his chair, as if he had won a gamble with a heavy bet, and everyone around him sent him a congratulatory speech, he didn't care, and took the white bird Ling on the side, with his big Erlang legs, like an emperor with a beautiful woman in his arms.

"Guys, it's too early to rejoice, it's a very simple plan to implement. ”

Although he poured cold water on him, everyone quieted down, but the look of joy on their faces did not diminish in the slightest.

Gense Jing also calmed down at this moment, and said seriously, "In any case, retaking the six districts in the center of the city is the key to reviving our morale, and it also marks the victory of our first battle with the shogunate samurai, proving the feasibility of this strategy. ”

Bai Maxiao smiled bitterly and said, "Don't make such an official summary." In short, we got the bet right. ”

Yes, they were right. Closing the Pillar of the Enchantment liberated the spiritual power in the ghost people's bodies, and instantly gained immunity to the particle spirit field, although it seemed too simple, but it contained immeasurable risks, and Mo Rui may never have imagined that they would dare to gamble with the safety of the world's creatures.

"It's right for the time being. "This gamble is not over yet, we only won the first game, and until Himiko and Morei are completely eliminated, the gamble is still going on, it depends on which of us dies first." ”

Hiroki Kimura exclaimed, "Lord Hakuba...... It's really a bit of a spirit god. The cooperation with Lord Shiratori is also seamless, this time thanks to the power of the Shiratori family, so many crew makeup artists were mobilized to make up our samurai, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fool those ghosts at all. ”

In the first half, Bai Ma Xiao listened a little weakly, after all, most of these plans were discussed with the soul couple, and the soul couple who was in charge of Bai Ma Fei's memory knew Bai Ma Fei's thinking well, so it could be said that this was the plan of the spirit god. And in the second half, it can be said that the Shiratori family deserves its name, this award should be awarded to Shiratori Ping, to be precise, it is the old man Shota Kataoka, who mobilized thousands of makeup artists at the first order, and used almost all the crews in Japan, worthy of being a big man in the film industry.

Bai Maxiao hurriedly waved his hand, "What do you mean by that word...... Yes, Kimura-sama praised it. Let's not be too happy, what we need to do next is the real difficulty. There is only one core problem, we still don't have enough manpower, which is a hard injury. ”

Indeed, with the addition of all the shogunate samurai, they only have more than 30,000 people, judging from the deployment map of Himiko, at the beginning, except for the Bunkyo District, which has not yet fallen, the other 22 districts have an average of about 7,000 demon puppets stationed in each of the reichos, and the number of garrisons in different districts is also different, fortunately, they have all their deployments, and they can allocate different numbers of troops to attack, but the total number of garrisons on the other side is 15 or 60,000. When they attacked the six districts in the center of the city this time, excluding the defenders guarding the hospital, the rest of the troops could be allocated 5,000 people in each of the five districts when they attacked those five districts, which seemed to be a lot of numbers, but it was not enough to carry out the next plan.

Their plan is the "center flowering" tactic, after occupying the six districts in the center of the city, the next step is to use this as the center and quickly attack the surrounding areas, which means that they will next take down the remaining seventeen districts at the same time, wipe out all the demon puppets in this underground layer, and then attack the second layer, that is, the twenty-fourth district - the exile zone, that is, Himiko's lair, forcing Himiko and Mo Rui to fight them there.

And this decisive arena is the key, as they can use the power of the Five Great Families' Spirit Rings in the Exile Zone, but that's another story.

The problem now is that this flower can't bloom.

"Six districts need to be defended, seventeen districts need to be attacked at the same time, and our 30,000 people are distributed, and each district has more than 1,000 people, which is simply not enough to defeat the opponent's 7,000 defenders. Bai Maxiao said helplessly. Their tactics of pretending to be zombies to launch a surprise attack inside the station, the most important thing is the number of people, one thousand against seven thousand, even if the surprise attack is successful, they will kill up to 1,000 people on the other side, and then they will face being surrounded by several times the number of the other party. In terms of individual combat power, demon puppets are not something that these shogunate samurai can solve, so with such a huge disadvantage in combat power, they can only take such a surprise attack.

Hiroki Kimura asked tentatively, "Is it possible......?" What if we split into two batches and attack them? We don't have to take seventeen districts at the same time......."

"No, I can't. Akai Matsuhei directly interrupted, "What we have to do is to eliminate all the defenders in the twenty-three districts before Himiko reacts to the fact that the barrier has disappeared, and when she shows up to fight back, we have entered her lair, so that we can force her to go back." Otherwise, as long as she still has a district of troops, she can directly kill on the ground and slaughter the people of the living world. ”

Bai Maxiao nodded, "That's right, if we can't force her to go back, then we will become a situation of 'tearing each other down', and we will 'change homes' with her, which will be a blood loss." ”

This mutual demolition is the meaning of attacking each other's main bases in the game, although these people who don't play games sound very new, but it is not difficult to see the literal meaning.

Now no one dares to take chances, and chooses to face this problem of insufficient numbers.

Seeing that they had no idea again, Bai Ma Xiao began to talk about his "unreliable" idea again, "If you add 300,000 ghost people, it will be enough." ”

Akai Matsuhei showed a non-negotiable expression, shook his head, and said, "It's impossible." Not to mention whether there are 300,000 surviving ghost people now, even if there is, although we have closed the barrier now, so that those ghost people and shogunate samurai can avoid turning into zombies, most of them are still scattered in various places in the twenty-three wards, and they will not be recruited. ”

Although this Himiko is not good for the ghost people, the Juhe Society is not a good person in their hearts, so they will not risk death to come to defect at this time.

"Actually...... There is still a way. Minase Sutra suddenly said, "We still have one more person to work with, and as long as we have him, the ghost people will unite as one and expel Himiko with us." ”

"Who?" Bai Maxiao was stunned, he didn't expect that there was such a number one person in Dongzhou who could command the ghost people.

"Three generations of ghost kings, Takenosuke Hiraoka. ”
