Chapter 161 The Battle to Break the City
Indeed, anyone who hears the idea of ​​investigating dreams will find it extremely strange.

However, Baijie can indeed do this, and his Shikigami "Dream-eating Tapir" can help him enter the dream world.

In addition, helping others to dream is not difficult.

"Also, speaking of monsters that can control dreams, besides the Western succubus and dream-eating tapirs, there are also monsters called 'Makigawa' in the island country, right?"

This kind of ghost or monster is also known as Fanzhen and Zhen Xiaoseng. Zhen Fan will make the sleeping person sink into the illusory world forever, absorb their soul and kill them, making them depressed forever.

The true prototype of the "Pillow Monster" of the Five Demon Kings is this kind of monster.

"But even if you have the ability to gather intelligence in dreams, you can't use it in your current situation, right?"

Renjo Senjuro looked Baijie up and down carefully.

"Your current condition is quite dire. Besides, there's probably no way you can just fall asleep, right?"

"Yes."

Baijie nodded.

"However, this isn't a particularly troublesome problem. My Shikigami is the Dream-Eating Tapir, and it can also help others enter dreams."

He thought for a moment and added, "This is a form of 'dream diving'. It doesn't necessarily require me to go in person. Even someone else can do it... In short, as long as the Dream-Eating Tapir connects the two people's dreams, it can be done."

"Let me give it a try."

Hiiragi Hiruko took the initiative to suggest.

In fact, she was still brooding over what had happened before and felt that she was not helpful enough.

However, Baijie did not stop him. He felt that Hiiragi Hiruko would be a very good candidate.

"After all... she has experience of being active in dreams, which is an advantage over those who have no experience at all."

He nodded to Hiruko Hiiragi.

"In that case, let's get ready... let's get started right away."

……

Damn.

Can this city built on the mountain and these lines of defense really stop those monsters?

Tomosaka, one of the ninjas, raised his head and looked towards the sky.

At this moment, the last red sunset in the distance fell into the mountains.

He knew that the half-human, half-owl demon had not arrived yet, however, according to the results of the "clairvoyance" reconnaissance by Master Songmushi of Jiuyanyuan.

The old man deduced that the vanguard of the evil god would arrive in the city at the latest after dusk, and it was already dusk.

Although everyone knew in their hearts that it would not take too long, for the people living in the city, it was a long ordeal.

If these lines of defense are breached by demons, the territory of the Kurohimeyama clan will be completely destroyed, and the nobles in the city and the residents taking refuge in the castle town will all become food for the monsters.

"Baijie, I don't know what's going on with Master Saizo."

Tomosaka murmured.

He was considered Baijie's deputy, but he did not participate in the operation to the old territory. In fact, he returned to the territory of the Kurohime family with the exorcists of his clan halfway through Kasumi Castle.

The mountain castle of the Kurohime family is an ancient castle that is not too big. When it was built, it was considered to be a natural fortress that takes advantage of the rivers and cliffs. To reach the top of the mountain, you can only climb the mountain road in the south and climb the slope.

Therefore, the main defense line of the city is the Honmaru on the top of the mountain, followed by the Ninomaru and the Sannomaru further south.

This was a common layout, and the three-tiered fortress, built on the slopes of the southern hillside, was once completely cleared of trees to prevent invasion from enemies or demons, and to provide a wider view for surveillance. Looking down from the mountain, the southern side was completely bare, with nothing but rocks.

After the sun sets, the night wind becomes unusually cold. Located in this mountain city, one can see zigzag earthen walls on the periphery, standing behind the moat like city walls.

From the snow-covered mountains and woods in the distance, the howling north wind blew over, and the ninjas and servants in the watchtower could not help but huddle their bodies to resist the biting cold wind.

Snowflakes are still falling. Actually, it snowed heavily yesterday. Today, there will be less snow, but the temperature will still be very low.

Everyone present was extremely cold. In fact, everyone was wearing relatively thick clothes to prepare for the cold, but the temperature was really uncomfortable.

On the other hand, the Yuejia Luo clan and several famous exorcists from nearby families were wearing thin clothes, and they did not look like they were feeling cold.

However, the attitudes of these exorcists were quite serious. They didn't say a word, and cold sweat was running down their foreheads.

"Right now, this situation."

Tomosaka held the spear in his hand. He was not wearing heavy armor, but only a small golem, a gauntlet and a shield, so he was considered lightly equipped.

"...Can we really survive?"

He did not have a good impression of the exorcists of the Kurohimeyama clan. These people were often arrogant and complacent, and had a very contemptuous attitude towards their servants, maids and ninjas.

Even on the battlefield, exorcists often put on airs and yell at or beat their servants and ninjas.

However, all the exorcists now had solemn expressions on their faces, which showed how dangerous today's battle was.

"This group of people also look very nervous."

Tomosaka also understood in his heart.

The scene was filled with a tense feeling as if a storm was about to break out.

The armed companions around him also had tense and serious expressions - in recent days, the number of legions of the "Demon Wing Army" of the evil god Kotankoro Kamui had increased several times.

Many villages in the north have been robbed, and the survivors have fled into the mountains to save their lives.

However, in this cold season, it is easy to imagine what will happen to the villagers if they lose the protection of the village barrier and flee to the wilderness.

It is said that there are some famous families of demon-exorcists who overestimate their own abilities and use the strength of their entire clan to resist the demon army.

Or the famous and powerful demon exorcists and demon-slaying swordsmen of the North, who went to fight against the demon army, but in the end, none of them survived.

Stories of half-human, half-owl monsters plundering and cannibalizing people, and all kinds of cruel rumors have spread throughout the territory of Kurohime Mountain.

The Kurohimeyama clan did not reject the spread of these rumors. People must know that they have nowhere to escape before they will make up their minds to resist in desperate situations.

If everyone wants to protect themselves, even the strongest fortress will collapse.

"But if they really escape, the exorcists can still flee south. If they go to a more heavily defended area, they should be able to survive, right?"

This also made Tomosaka feel a strong sense of foreboding.

"The number of monsters has exploded several times, giving people the feeling that they are unstoppable."

The young ninja members also know the power of a powerful exorcist, but numbers themselves are a kind of strength.

"Can the territory of the Heijishan clan really resist?"

A gloomy mood emerged from deep within his heart.

Tomosaka knew very well that if he failed to fight against the demon-wing army, he, others, and the entire mountain city would be devoured by monsters.

Suddenly, he felt something and his eyes moved to the distant sky. A gray cloud was approaching rapidly from the end of the horizon.
