Uesugi Kiyoshi was stunned.

He didn't expect the result to be like this.

I want to catch up with him, but even if I catch up with him, what can I do?

He couldn't stop the earthquake catfish from causing trouble.

Go down the mountain to evacuate the people?

No, it's too late.

They stood there blankly, watching countless civilians being swept into the torrent of rocks, being carried down the mountain by earthquake catfish, and then being crushed into meat paste along the way.

He could only watch here and could do nothing.

When he faced ghosts and gods alone, he never felt this powerless. No matter how powerful the opponent was, it was nothing more than a life-and-death battle, and he only wanted to have no regrets in his heart and not regret even if he died.

But once he wanted to protect something, he became restrained.

The idea of ​​"becoming stronger" spread like wildfire in Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart and became stronger than ever before.

Chapter 260 The house leaks and it rains all night

As the picture jumps and changes, mountains collapse, the earth collapses, and the sound of human wailing and falling rocks mixes together, playing a elegy written in blood and life.

Before the devastating natural disaster, human power seemed small and insignificant.

Uesugi Kiyoshi stood on the crumbling mountain top, biting his lips, his eyes seemed to be brewing a storm.

He bit his silver teeth to pieces and blood oozed from his lips.

While witnessing this disaster, memories trickled out from the depths of his mind like a trickle - unlike the rough acceptance of Inugami's memories before, the emergence of memory fragments this time was much more gentle.

The faces of those who died in the earthquake appeared in his mind and became familiar.

Exiled alone, slayed demons, took over, worked hard to build a territory, surrounded by enemies, fought and won, the heroic lord of Guandong

What the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts had just said gradually became clear, as if he had experienced it personally.

He looked up suddenly, only to see himself in a white robe, standing side by side with him, his eyes as deep as water, with flames of anger spreading.

"Even though I know this is an illusion, it's fake, but every time I see this scene, I can't suppress my anger."

"How does it feel to be a powerless weakling?"

"."

"not so good!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi almost squeezed out four words from between his teeth, and each word was as sharp as a knife.

The Lord of a Hundred Demons shrugged, his expression not looking much better.

"You just watched it and unlocked a memory."

"As someone who has personally experienced it, I feel much more pain than you do. If you are angry, don't take it out on me!"

"Do you know what is most important in this era?"

"Population! A stable population is the cornerstone of all development."

"I said I had issued a decree to encourage marriage and childbirth."

"Musashi is a small country with no more than 10,000 households. If there is a wedding in a family, I will prepare a gift and go to the family to congratulate them unless I am too busy to spare time. You may not know the thoughts of people in this era - they regard it as a great honor."

"Congratulations to the king in person!"

"They warmly entertained me. The newlyweds received my congratulations and were all beaming with joy. They were full of hope for their future lives."

"Because, compared to the previous monsters, I am indeed much stronger as a lord."

"They call me Lord Master, Lord Yuan. They treat me with great respect, obey my orders, and regard me as a god."

“These are my people.”

"When the seven nations invaded, I did not issue a wartime conscription order, but young and strong men who came to volunteer to join the army broke through the threshold of the military camp."

"They don't want me to lose, they don't want their homes to be destroyed, they are willing to sacrifice their lives for me."

"But what about me?"

“I didn’t protect them.”

After taking a deep breath, the Lord of a Hundred Demons' tone became low.

"Thousands of miles of fertile land were destroyed, half of Edo Castle collapsed, and more than 70% of the tens of thousands of civilians in Musashi were killed or injured."

“All my hard work over the past few years has gone to waste.”

"Just because of an earthquake, just because of a monster that can cause earthquakes!"

"Maybe it's because of that damn modern thinking. I don't have any species aversion to monsters. I always think that there are good and bad people, and there are good and evil monsters. Bad people should die, so why shouldn't kind monsters live?"

"But this time, it's the first time in my life that I hate a monster so much."

"I wish I could grind it to dust!"

"Afterwards, I looked into this matter. This earthquake catfish is the guardian spirit of the Inari Shrine. For some unknown reason, it suddenly went mad and caused the earthquake at all costs."

"Achi and I blocked it at the seaside and fought it for three days and three nights, draining away every last bit of its strength and skinning it alive!"

"I don't care about the reason why he went crazy. What matters is finding the person behind it."

"For example, if Chai goes out and bites people, I will be responsible. Similarly, the Inari Shrine will not be left out of it!"

"From then on, no one was allowed to worship the Inari God in any of my territories. I tore down any Inari Taisha Shrine I saw, and I smashed any white fox statues I saw."

"My actions even alarmed the gods of Takamagahara. They came to cause trouble, but were scared away by my sword strikes. That's all for later."

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced sideways. Although he felt that this action was a bit impulsive and that the Inari Shrine might not be the culprit, in this situation, he just felt relieved.

He has always been a man who repays kindness with kindness and blood with blood.

If you suffer a loss, you have to fight back.

"This earthquake is just the beginning."

"Although the casualties were severe, this earthquake was only limited to the Musashi Province. I was already in charge of the eight provinces of Kanto at the time. Although such casualties were heartbreaking, they were not enough to cause serious consequences."

"The loss of population can be slowly restored, the destroyed land can be reclaimed, and the collapsed city can be rebuilt."

"Can"

"When it rains, it pours."

The Lord of Ghosts stamped his foot, and the stars moved and the scenery changed.

The disaster scene that put great pressure on Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly changed.

He was now inside a military tent.

The Japanese military tent is called a "jinmaku", which is made of cloth and fixed with curtain strings. The jinmaku behind Uesugi Kiyoshi has a black background embroidered with the family crest of brilliantly blooming gentian flowers.

When people saw this scene from afar, they could tell that it was Genji's army, and they could tell clearly whether they were enemies or friends.

The sky was light gray at this time, and gloomy cumulonimbus clouds accumulated and spread on the dome, forming an impenetrable net.

The air is humid and has a distinct smell of the sea.

Storm is coming.

Uesugi Kiyoshi sat in the main seat and could clearly feel that the atmosphere was not right.

The smell of blood was so thick that it could not be dispelled. The foot soldiers and generals in sight had torn armor and blood-stained robes. The blood-colored gentian patterns on the battle curtains were also a little dirty. It was obvious that a great battle had taken place here.

There were only two people near him.

One is the ninja "Fuma" whom I have seen before, and the other is the demon sword "Achi" who looks exactly like Maki Toufumi.

Fuma had his left arm simply bandaged, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured. He bowed to Uesugi Kiyoshi and walked out without saying a word.

Ah Chi just looked at him quietly, without any desire to speak.

At this moment, the voice of the Lord of a Hundred Demons sounded in his ears.

"As you can see, one wave has not yet subsided, another wave has risen."

"Before I could provide disaster relief and revive the cities and farmlands of Musashi Province, I received extremely bad news."

"Scouts at the coastal fishing village reported finding traces of a monster."

"For things like this, it's better to believe it than not. I'll go check it out right away."

"What the scout said is true"

"There are traces of a large number of monsters active along the entire Kanto coastline, and many fishing villages have been attacked."

"."

"It's the Siren."

Chapter 261 I'm Not a Human Anymore

"Siren."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was no stranger to this word. He had heard a lot of information about sirens from Lord Arakawa.

Including the battle when the Siren invaded, and all the grudges.

He frowned and asked in a concentrated tone, "Are the sea monsters invading?"

"That's not right, the timing is wrong!"

The Lord of Hundred Demons shook his head and said, "It's not a large-scale invasion, it's just a [test]."

"I didn't understand it then, but now I understand it."

"It's not that there are no extraordinary powers among humans."

"Take Kyoto for example. It has the Onmyoji of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the son of the white fox is in charge. Demons and monsters are not allowed to invade."

"Outside, we have the Minamoto clan and the Fujiwara clan to protect us. Both of them have armies of extraordinary swordsmen and Onmyojis, which are enough to suppress Heian-kyo."

"So, the Lord of the Siren is not stupid enough to risk everything and launch a massive attack. He only sent out an advance team to land in Kanto to test the human reaction."
