Crossover Anime: Destroying Tokyo by One Person

Chapter 123 Forced Entry into the Capital (4K)

The Belder Empire, the Vormir Plain.

The towering walls of the imperial capital stand at the edge of the field of vision.

Standing still and looking into the distance, it seemed that some dispute had taken place at the city gate, which caused a long queue to form for people to enter the city.

I could vaguely hear the clamor of voices.

"We haven't seen any refugees since just now," Levendir and Feraldir couldn't help but remark.

The group traveled and trekked through the empire.

I've been to wealthy places and poor places.

Regardless of the local conditions, one cannot avoid seeing ragged refugees.

It's simply a matter of quantity.

The refugees disappeared only when they approached the capital.

However, that kind of disappearance was really too abrupt.

It was as if there was an invisible line that kept all the refugees out.

After all, this is the capital city.

His Majesty the Great and Noble Emperor resides here.

How can there be refugees here?

Avina asked Xu Yuan, "When will the Alliance attack?"

Xu Yuan: "Shouldn't we save them as soon as possible?"

59

"How about trying to control the royal family?"

"————" Xu Yuan shook his head.

He had discussed this plan with Wen Anguo and the others, but ultimately rejected it.

Because the palace is well-guarded.

The chances of successfully infiltrating silently and taking control of the emperor and the superhumans around him are slim.

On the contrary, it is easy to cause considerable changes.

After all, an attack on the palace is a major event.

The domestic reaction, the Graywood Federation's reaction, and the reaction of the Dragon's Descendants and the forces behind them.

At that time, it is very likely that a single move will have far-reaching consequences.

It's possible that the Baird Empire and the Greywood Federation might clash in an unprecedented war as a result.

It would be a good thing for Dawn Island if they started fighting.

However, the premise is that the intensity of the war cannot be too high.

Xu Yuan didn't want to take over a mess that was riddled with problems.

Governing a country requires a large number of talented people.

Currently, Dawn Island is still undergoing its own renovations and has no spare capacity to extend its reach over there.

It's safer to maintain the status quo here at this point.

Haste makes waste.

Lay hidden stakes and make some preparations, then when the conditions are right, you can accomplish the task in one fell swoop.

Setting one's sights on the Baird family now might certainly make things simpler.

But it could also make a mess of the situation.

As the crowd drew closer to the city gate, they encountered more and more people along the way.

Among them were merchants driving oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages.

After a while, the dispute ahead was resolved, and the previously blocked queue began to move again.

But a moment later, a commotion arose behind them.

The sounds of horses' hooves, shouts, whips, and carriage wheels rolling across the ground.

"Get out of here! You bunch of lowly people! Get out of here!"

A wicked servant drove a car and kept waving his whip at the crowd.

Xu Yuan moved aside with the crowd in advance. When the whip lashed in front of him, he casually dodged it and moved aside.

The wicked servant glared at him fiercely, seemingly extremely displeased that he dared to dodge the whip.

But he was just a servant driving the carriage, and naturally dared not stop the carriage without his master's permission.

Just as he was about to turn around and continue driving, a whip lashed out at him.

The whip was so fast that it was impossible to see its shadow when it cut through the air; all that could be heard was the sharp sound of it cutting through the air.

In just a moment, the wicked servant was reduced to hundreds of pieces of flesh, which fell to the ground with a crash.

Just then, the two greatsword warriors guarding the carriage suddenly turned their heads and looked at Xu Yuan.

But the crows had already launched their attack.

One person was cleaved in two before he could even draw his sword.

The other man tumbled off his horse, drew his sword and barely managed to parry a few blows before being easily sliced ​​to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, Little Crow's flesh-and-blood blades swung rapidly across the carriage.

boom-!

As the carriage fell to pieces, the people inside were turned into a pile of flesh.

Only then was Little Crow able to vent its anger and retract its fleshy tentacles.

It has to be said that among Xu Yuan's group, Xiao Ya is undoubtedly the one with the most bloodthirsty fighting style.

All of this happened too fast.

It only took a breath or two.

The official who died inside the carriage didn't even have time to utter a scream or a cry of agony.

The people queuing around them only realized what was happening at that moment.

"Aaaaah—!"

The crowd screamed and scattered in a panic.

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

A large area around Xu Yuan suddenly became empty.

Little Crow acted on its own initiative this time, but Xu Yuan did not blame it.

He raised his hand and used energy to control the two greatsword warriors, bringing their weapons in front of him for a closer look.

It's not a greatsword, but a common type of sword.

After all, these greatsword warriors' opponents were not the descendants of dragons, but humans.

For dealing with humans, an ordinary sword is more convenient.

They shouldn't actually be called greatsword warriors.

Because they weren't using greatswords.

It wasn't just these two; Xu Yuan encountered the same thing with everyone else he met while planting the hidden stakes.

They all used ordinary-style swords.

Furthermore, these swords are not extraordinary weapons, but are made of steel.

As for the reason, it's still the same.

Because their opponent is human.

Weapons crafted using [Tsukuyomi's Silver] are a bit too extravagant.

The greatswords Xu Yuan acquired along the way were all found in the treasure vault, not seized from these warriors.

After casually tossing it on the ground, he looked at the city gate and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Avina asked doubtfully, "Do we still need to go into the city now?"

Oh no—shouldn't we be running away right now?

Why are you planning to go into town to take a look?!

Xu Yuan casually replied, "Since we're already here..."

After saying that, he walked towards the city gate.

At this moment, the guards on the city wall were constantly being mobilized.

The crowd that had been queuing at the city gate scattered in all directions in a panic.

Some people even left their belongings behind.

They were afraid of being caught in the crossfire if they were too slow.

"stop!!!"

A row of guards stood nervously on the city wall, bows drawn and arrows aimed at Xu Yuan, shouting, "Don't go any further!"

Otherwise we'll shoot arrows!

As he spoke, everyone stared intently at Xu Yuan, their voices filled with tension, and their hands holding the bow trembled.

After all, although they didn't know the strength of these people, that strange bird had just killed two warriors in an instant!

It would be best if these people could stop and leave.

Then you can report that you have repelled the enemy.

But if a fight breaks out—

There are only these people on the city wall now, and they don't have much of a chance of winning if they fight.

Besides, those people died such a horrible death!

If someone were cut into pieces like that, they probably wouldn't find peace even after death.

Xu Yuan ignored the guards' warnings and simply released a psionic shield to protect Theresa, Avina, and the others who were a step behind him.

The guards on the city wall were taken aback by this.

A protective shield?!

But I didn't see the device!

Seeing Xu Yuan ignore the warnings and get closer, the captain of the guard gritted his teeth and waved his hand, saying, "Shoot!"

call out!call out!call out!

Arrows rained down.

Perhaps due to nervousness, most of them missed their targets.

But even the few shots that didn't miss couldn't possibly break through the shield.

It couldn't even create a ripple on the shield.

Xu Yuan ignored the guards, walked to the city gate that had just been closed, and kicked it.

A deafening roar!

Dust flew everywhere.

He kicked the city gate into pieces.

Behind the city gate, the guards, who were holding spears and standing ready for battle, were dumbfounded.

Broken?! Broken?!

"What do we do? What do we do now?!"

"The city gate has been kicked down by the enemy!"

"And it seems like he only kicked once —"

"Is he a soldier?"

"But the hair and eye colors are wrong!"

"An Awakened One?"

"Damn! That's possible!"

"I've heard that Awakened Ones eat people—"

Xu Yuan glanced at the guards, waved his hand casually, and said, "Alright, disperse if you don't want to die."

The guards dared not actually disperse.

But they dared not attack him.

Since he said "If you don't want to die, then disperse," does that mean that attacking him would result in death?

So Xu Yuan walked forward, and the guards retreated step by step, holding their spears.

Xu Yuan didn't make things difficult for them, treating them as if they didn't exist, and strolled leisurely forward.

Just then, the sound of iron boots pounding the ground came from not far away.

A man dressed in full armor was seen leading a group of guards hurriedly toward them.

Seeing that the guards present only dared to surround him but not to make a move, he immediately shouted angrily, "Get out of the way!"

The guards surrounding Xu Yuan scattered as if granted a pardon, while the guards who had just arrived raised their spears.

They numbered much larger, several hundred people.

The fully armored man waved his hand: "Spear throwing!"

Upon hearing the order, the thirty guards at the front threw their spears with all their might.

Thirty spears flew towards Xu Yuan simultaneously.

It was then repelled by the ochre-colored psionic shield, without even causing the slightest ripple.

Upon seeing this, the man in full armor frowned.

Why is it so hard?!

"continue!"

There are limits to how much protective shields can provide.

Simply keeping it on will continuously consume energy, and the energy consumption rate will accelerate when it is attacked.

Once the energy is depleted, it will be useless.

The man in full armor had a simple idea: to deplete the energy of the defensive array.

He didn't know that Xu Yuan himself had cast the protective shield, so he naturally assumed that Xu Yuan had a defensive array plate on him, which he had simply hidden.

However, his idea wasn't wrong.

There are two common methods to break through the protective shield.

One method is to break the shield instantly.

To unleash an attack that exceeds the limits of the shield in an instant, shattering it like popping a balloon.

The other is to exhaust all energy.

These ordinary people couldn't possibly break through the shield instantly, so they could only gradually deplete their energy.

As the fully armored man gave the order, wave after wave of spears were hurled at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan shook his head slightly: "I'll only say this one last time, get out of the way if you don't want to die."

Upon hearing this, the man in full armor sneered.

"Hmph! Bluffing!"

"continue!

"Once you've finished throwing spears, shoot arrows!"

"Everyone else get ready, the enemy is about to break through!"

"Suppress him!"

"Reinforcements are on their way!"

Xu Yuan didn't say anything more and took out the [Dai Zong].

Clang!

The longsword was drawn from its sheath on its own and disappeared in the next instant.

Immediately afterward, a flash of sword light appeared, and the head of the fully armored man suddenly rolled off his neck.

The crowd erupted in uproar.

This type of attack was beyond their imagination.

The sword—is it moving on its own?!

The long sword moved about, like a dragon.

The clear, water-like sword light pierced through the crowd, bursting into clouds of blood mist.

The guards' formation collapsed instantly.

It was utterly crushed by pure violence.

Everyone panicked and hurriedly retreated.

No one dared to ignore what he had just said.

Xu Yuan did not pursue the retreating guards.

As long as they don't block his way, it's fine.

In just a few breaths, the path forward was cleared.

"Let's go," Xu Yuan said to Theresa and the others.

"Where to?" Theresa asked.

"Let's go take a look at the palace; after all, we're already here."

It must be said that the capital city truly lives up to its name.

The people who came to stop him came in waves, one after another, without end.

There are ordinary people, and there are greatsword warriors.

"stop!"

"Who are you!"

"An Awakened One?!"

"Archers, prepare! Fire!"

"Damn it! Kill them!!!"

"His Majesty has ordered! Execute this traitor!"

Xu Yuan was too lazy to waste words with them.

He won't attack those who don't attack him.

But those who attack him shouldn't blame him for retaliating.

Some were afraid, while others were fearless and undaunted.

The road was littered with corpses.

"How can he be so strong?!"

"Is he an Awakened One?"

"I heard it might not be like that."

"If not an Awakened One, then is it human?!"

"How could a human be so strong?"

Where exactly does he want to go?

"That direction seems to be—the Imperial Palace?"

"Damn it!!!"

As Xu Yuan got closer to the palace, more and more extraordinary individuals appeared, and their strength grew stronger.

Clearly, people from the palace have been dispatched.

That's enough.

Five greatsword warriors stood in front.

The swords they held were not greatswords, but they were also made of [Tsukuyomi Flowing Silver].

"An Awakened One?"

They looked at Xu Yuan, their brows furrowing slightly.

After carefully examining the sensations, they all shook their heads.

"Without demonic power, you are not an Awakened One. Who exactly are you?"

"Five No.0.1 level ones."

Xu Yuan could roughly sense their strength.

On Dawn Island, the death rate for greatsword users is very high.

Firstly, because they need to deal with various awakened individuals and engage in continuous combat.

Frequently unleashing their demonic power will bring them closer to awakening.

Moreover, combat itself is risky.

Often walking by the river, how can there not be wet shoes?

Secondly, the organization doesn't like greatsword warriors who live too long.

But it's different here.

Soldiers like these, responsible for protecting important figures.

They didn't have to face many dangers, nor were they as feared as the warriors on Dawn Island.

Therefore, they will live a relatively long time.

The longer you live, the more skilled people you will accumulate.

Furthermore, the Belder Empire has a larger population than Dawn Island, and the long-term war will create a large number of orphans.

The royal family is perfectly capable of training even more warriors.

"Demon power? Actually, you can have it."

As Xu Yuan finished speaking, a pair of flame-shaped wings suddenly appeared behind him, and at the same time, the demonic power stored within them began to flow back into his body.
