"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! You bunch of lowly people, all of you, run faster!"
"Gather! The camp has been attacked! All of you, get the hell together!"
As curses erupted, the already less-than-orderly military camp descended into chaos.
A military camp with nearly a thousand people could not possibly have only a few dozen soldiers. Those who ran over after hearing Zengen's curses were just soldiers patrolling around the camp.
After all, he was just an ordinary person, and no matter how loud his voice was, he couldn't possibly shout and call everyone in the entire camp over.
It took quite a while for the guards, who were wearing simple bamboo armor and were slightly more robust than the others, to regain order after a barrage of scolding and beatings.
Unlike ordinary soldiers, these generals' personal guards mostly carried long swords and shields.
After all, the duty of the bodyguards was not to charge into battle, but to protect the general.
But when the soldiers reached the original location of their camp, they all stopped in their tracks, their faces turning ashen and their legs trembling.
Many people vomited on the spot, making the already polluted air even more filthy.
As soldiers who have been on the battlefield, they have naturally seen dead people.
But this is the first time I've seen someone die in such a fragmented state.
Clearly, the impact of a scene of corpses strewn across the field is not on the same level as that of a scene of scum lying everywhere.
"So, Lu, do you want to take revenge yourself? Lingyue-chan specially left that scumbag behind for you~"
"Hmph! I didn't leave it there on purpose. I just didn't want that scumbag's blood to stain my eyes!"
Despite being surrounded by hundreds of people, Xia Yan and Ling Yue Xian Ji treated them as nothing and didn't take them seriously at all.
As powerful demons, they naturally have the right to do so.
I admit you have the numbers, but if, and I mean if, you were facing two monsters who could kill people as easily as crushing ants, how would you deal with them?
"revenge!"
Upon hearing those two words, Lu's bloodshot eyes lit up instantly.
Because of the overly strong self-awareness of humans, monsters associated with humans tend to be somewhat extreme and have certain obsessions about certain things.
For example, the Ubume, born from the resentment of a deceased pregnant woman, has an unusual obsession with taking care of children, while Kiyohime, who became a demon because of unrequited love, is frantically pursuing the lover she cannot have.
Having just become a yokai, Lu naturally has her own obsessions.
That represents the abandoned women taking revenge on the scumbag men who betrayed their wives!
The reason I lost my mind before was because I had just become a monster and was controlled by this obsession.
Now that she has regained her senses, she is no longer controlled by her instincts, but revenge seems to be an instinct imprinted on her heart.
Seeing Lu's excited expression, it was clear that her choice was obvious.
Although he was so badly injured that he could barely stand, Xia Yan happened to know a little about treatment.
The deep, bone-revealing scars covering Lu's body were healing at a visible speed, as if time had reversed.
In just over ten seconds, it was completely restored to its original state.
Even the clothes he was wearing were casually restored to their original state by Xia Yan.
Meanwhile, Zeng Gen, who had been left alone by Ling Yue Xian Ji and had been so frightened that he wet his pants, calmed down when he saw the army arrive and skillfully took over the command.
Previously a down-on-his-luck samurai who gained power by seducing women from minor noble families, he naturally didn't understand the true significance of the title "Great Demon."
Living in this war-torn and impoverished region, Sone had seen some monsters, but most of them were beasts that couldn't even transform into human form. The strongest was just a small monster that was half-beast and half-human.
If it were a mindless monster, even an experienced hunter could probably kill it with a trap.
Ordinary monsters, if there are three or five soldiers, might be able to be defeated with a small price to pay.
However, for ordinary people, monsters of the "Demon King" and "Great Demon" level are natural disasters, beings that are absolutely impossible to resist.
Seeing that Xia Yan and the other two were completely ignoring him and busy treating Lu's injuries, a hint of resentment flashed in Sone's eyes, while a confident smile appeared on his face.
No matter how you look at it, we currently have a few hundred soldiers against three monsters, so the advantage is on our side!
The soldiers raised their spears and gripped their blades tightly, looking quite formidable.
Having fully recovered to her best condition, Lu once again brandished the pale bone blade in her hand, and the purplish-black resentment once again clung to her body.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the blood that was still steaming on the ground was now frozen and turned into red slush.
A cold wind blew by, and an inexplicable sense of bleakness filled the air.
"Charge! Kill them all, and everyone here will get to eat white rice today! Eat as much as you want! Anyone who kills a monster with their own hands will get a dried fish!"
Commanding nearly a thousand soldiers, Sone naturally couldn't offer up his personal guards as a reward as he had done before. After all, it was unrealistic to reward only one or two people in the end after a battle involving hundreds of men.
He couldn't possibly offer any more bodyguards.
However, for those ordinary soldiers, being able to eat a meal of white rice was already a tremendous reward.
Not to mention that the person who killed the other can still eat the fish.
In this day and age, due to the Emperor's "meat ban," nobles may be able to secretly eat meat behind people's backs, but soldiers, as the common people, truly cannot eat meat.
The only food we could eat was fish.
However, fish were not something that ordinary people like them could easily obtain.
Being given a whole dried fish was undoubtedly a luxury for these soldiers; if they ate it sparingly, it could last them a month.
Therefore, upon hearing about Sone's reward mechanism, the soldiers subconsciously drooled, licking their lips as they looked at Xia Yan and the other two monsters with eyes like hungry wolves eyeing little rabbits.
They completely forgot about the corpses on the ground that couldn't be pieced together.
After all, there are so many of us; we can't just let all three of them die, can we?
Chapter 347 Practice is the Best Teacher
"Yashigege—!!!"
Accompanied by the roar that Xia Yan often heard in anti-Japanese war dramas before his transmigration, the soldiers, promised "great rewards," mustered all their strength and charged towards Lu.
The reason they only attacked Lu was because Xia Yan used his ability to erase his and Lingyue Fairy's presence.
Since it was to test Lu's abilities, neither of them would actually make a move.
However, Lu doesn't need their help!
"Feel my resentment!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu's figure vanished from the spot and rushed towards the soldiers at a speed beyond human limits, a maniacal smile on her face.
This person is like a blooming carnivorous flower, beautiful yet dangerous.
dong dong dong-
Despite her best efforts to dodge, many attacks still landed on Lu.
However, when these weapons of mediocre quality struck Lu's body, they made a dull thud, like piercing a solid wooden stake.
With the enhancement of her demonic power, while attacks from ordinary people could injure her, they would at most leave only a shallow wound, barely enough to break through her defenses.
If she hadn't lost her mind before, focusing solely on that scumbag Sone and completely ignoring everyone else, a mere few dozen soldiers could have easily done nothing to her if she wanted to leave.
However, compared to the defense provided by the powerful physique of a demon, her attack is far inferior.
The movements were completely haphazard, the footwork was utterly unskilled, and even the soldiers were far inferior.
After all, although these soldiers were of low rank, they had received some basic training and at least knew how to thrust their weapons. With Sone as their leader, they were generally quite capable of advancing and retreating with proper discipline.
Even if Lu hadn't lost her mind, she would still be that aristocratic young lady who never left her home.
The child wielded the bone blade in his hand with a clumsy hand; the movements were less like an attack and more like children playing and fooling around.
However, what the child was holding was not a harmless toy, but a chainsaw sword that could cause injury or death if scratched or bumped!
puff--
A sharp blade slices through muscle and cuts open blood vessels.
Although the opponent had already moved the gun barrel horizontally to defend in time, the wooden gun barrel was of no use against the pale bone blade that could cut through iron like mud.
It's not even as difficult as cutting a single straw.
The pale bone blade in his hand easily pierced through his opponent's chest.
Crimson blood splattered on Lu's face, complementing her bloodshot eyes and adding a touch of bloody and eerie beauty to her already sinister and terrifying aura.
The resentment, as tangible as black mist, swarmed into the wound like flies drawn to blood, needing no prompting.
The once vibrant, beating heart visibly withered and decayed.
The soldier chosen by Lu collapsed before he could even scream. His face was contorted in a grotesque expression, looking less like he had been stabbed and more like he had been subjected to some kind of torture.
first drop of blood!
At the cost of a dozen shallow wounds on her body that did not affect her movement at all, Lu successfully took down her first enemy!
"Hehehehe—those who have hurt me will all be cleaved in two by me!"
As if she had flipped some ominous switch, she let out a queenly, unrestrained laugh, her gaze sweeping over the soldiers surrounding her.
This gave a jolt to those soldiers who had been blinded by the rewards.
At least those at the very front seemed to have regained a sliver of reason.
After all, even if the reward is good, you can only eat it if you're alive, right?
The general promised that everyone present would have white rice, so it seemed that he didn't necessarily have to be at the forefront.
As for dried fish...
There's only one monster, and hundreds of people are vying for it. The odds are too small; it's a bit unrealistic.
Thinking of this, the soldiers who had just left wounds on Lu's body shouted fiercely and made a great effort, but their feet quietly retreated behind the crowd.
"Attack! Attack! You damn lazy dogs! She's all alone, surround her!"
"Whoever can kill her with his own hands, I will make him my bodyguard! After the war, he will become my warrior and retainer!"
The fighting continues.
Sone kept shouting and directing his soldiers.
