By the time the two armies joined forces, it was already the second day. The overnight attack had demoralized the shogunate army. Moreover, they encountered several strange situations during the rapid march of more than 200 kilometers, and a total of nearly a hundred samurai were lost.
Several deputies on the staff also lost their lives.
Even before the battle started, the shogunate army had already suffered a lot of losses, so everyone was quite critical of the faceless ghost's imitation of Kamizumi Nobu.
But the Faceless Ghost didn't care about their dissatisfaction. He had already eliminated all the monsters in the entire army who were a threat to them on the road.
"Then you guys will rest here for a day, and we will open up the food and provide a feast for everyone!" The faceless ghost directly waved his hand, so that the cooks accompanying the army did not need to save, and everyone could eat and drink to their heart's content.
This move made other daimyo ashigaru and ordinary samurai feel unparalleled shock and ecstasy.
"God bless General Shangquan, may your military fortune be prosperous!"
"Thank you, General Shangquan, for your gift."
"Send it over quickly, I can't wait any longer."
The salary of these middle- and lower-level samurai can basically barely maintain food and clothing. If there are many children in the family, even the middle-level samurai will spend nearly half of the time eating gruel as a family.
Not to mention Ashigaru, whose salary is even lower.
In this case, some people may prefer to fight, because then they can eat a few mouthfuls of dry food instead of holding gruel with licorice and drinking soup to satisfy their hunger every day.
Without waiting for anyone to object, a large number of ashigaru and middle- and lower-level samurai began to prepare.
"General, this may be a little inappropriate. After all, we left a lot of supplies behind during the rapid march, and the food we carry now is only less than five days of rations." A staff member nearby suggested.
"There is no need to say more about food and grass. Kyoto is full of food and grass. And, doesn't every household have a lot of meat? What do you think?" The Faceless Ghost turned his head and looked at the staff member with a smile, and only asked him to
Chill on the spine of the back.
"Ha Yin!" The staff member immediately retreated without saying another word.
He understood what the Faceless Ghost meant, and after capturing Kyoto, he directly robbed Kyoto of its food. If he couldn't get the food, he turned the people of Kyoto into food.
At this time in Mount Atago, the dull atmosphere of the war had been swept away. The Ashigaru samurai were singing, dancing, and feasting, seemingly not paying any attention to Kyoto, which was dozens of kilometers away.
In this way, almost all the soldiers ate the grain mixed with the modified version of rosemary.
The faceless ghost looked at this scene, smiled slightly, and drank a glass of rice koji wine in his hand.
Late at night, after everyone had eaten and drank enough to fall asleep, several figures appeared in the general's camp.
A barrier that stretched several kilometers appeared in Mount Atago, imprisoning all the Daimyo coalition forces and the shogunate army.
"Mianless, you did a good job." A ninja took off his clothes, and then the foxtail and the thick twelve-piece kimono were revealed.
"Thank you for your honor! Iki-sama!" At this time, the facial features on Kamiizumi Shinobu's face quickly disappeared, turning into a faceless monster.
It knelt on one knee in front of the woman. Even with such strength, it could not restrain its excitement and began to tremble.
Yiji casually threw down a broken tailbone, as if throwing out a piece of garbage.
Wu Mian, on the other hand, hurriedly took over the broken tail vertebrae. The feeling of fanaticism could be seen on his face without facial features, and he could no longer suppress it.
"This is the Tiancongyun fragment you want. It is a tail vertebrae that the sword master Kamiizumi chopped off hundreds of years ago. From today on, this is yours." Yiji said, "As for
If you want to leave, just leave."
"Thank you, Lord Yiji!" The faceless ghost took the broken tailbone and left directly, heading into the darkness without any hesitation.
Not long after, unbridled laughter could be heard in the distance.
"Hahahahaha! The world is big, I am Jiraiya! Hahahahaha!"
The wild laughter of the faceless ghost came from the distance, and a large number of birds in Atago Mountain were frightened, and the terrifying laughter spread for several kilometers.
It was finally able to achieve its lifelong pursuit, have the opportunity to surpass the great demon, and reach the unparalleled realm in the legend.
When the time comes, the world is so big that no one, no matter weird or human, can easily threaten it.
At that time, whether it is hiding in Dongyi, hiding on the islands of Satsuma Domain, or crossing the sea to the legendary Tianfu Shenzhou.
The vastness of the world can all be measured by it.
Then the Faceless Ghost used his mimicry ability to secretly return to the vicinity of Kyoto, because now, this most dangerous place is the safest.
It directly swallowed the tail vertebrae. At this moment, unparalleled corrosive spiritual power came, and it was also mixed with this kind of violent wind spiritual power that seemed to be able to cut off everything.
It's coming! It's coming!
These two unparalleled spiritual powers are so powerful that even a great demon would tremble...
Complex handprints quickly formed on its hands, and lizard-like scales began to grow on its entire face.
Only then did it understand the horror of Yamata no Orochi. Even if it was just a tail vertebra, the eroding spiritual power would make it extremely tortured, as if it was the pain of falling into magma.
If he had really pulled out Tian Yu Yu Zhan by himself at that time, the Faceless Ghost felt that he would definitely be snatched away by Yamata no Orochi.
But now...
"Become my power, Mimic, Yamata no Orochi!"
…
"Lord Yi Ji, do you need to kill Wu Mian?" Mu Lan, the fourth member of the ten people, said.
Arashi looks like a young woman wearing a witch costume, with the translucent hem looming, a combination of purity and charm, like a pure witch hunter, but also like a relic of a person who has passed away.
But such a beautiful woman was the culprit who created rosemary, which is extremely hallucinogenic and addictive, and the evil ghost who dragged tens of thousands of people into the abyss.
"No, let it go. From now on, everyone must leave the barrier to protect me from interference when performing my spell. Also, keep an eye on the movements in Kyoto." Yiji looked at the last four of the ten people and ordered. arrive.
"Hayin!"
Several people left the place, waiting for Yiji's technique that had been prepared for hundreds of years to unfold.
"Spider, what are you thinking about? Have you fallen in love with a human warrior and want to eat him?" Lan asked after seeing the spider who seemed to be thinking about something.
She also knew that the spider's body was a giant nymph, and the tradition among demons is that nymphs would fall in love with a human man without hesitation and eat him to the bone.
This is the tradition of the bride family, and can even be said to be a curse. They will be crazy about love, but they are destined to be unable to restrain their desires and eat their lovers as emergency food.
"No, it's nothing. I just completed the mission of Lady Yiji." Spider responded calmly.
