"That's fine." Tai nodded and replied, "However, it's better to say hello to your companions before leaving to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings... For example, if the Oda family mistakenly thinks that we kidnapped Lady Nohime, that would be bad."
"Indeed." Nouhime nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Mitsuki, "Can I entrust you with the task of informing Nobutada and Niwa-sama of the current situation?"
Chapter 77: The Demonic Snake Appears, No One Has an Easy Time
——Kyushu——
Ningning and the female kunoichi looked at the panicked crowd around them and the town that had been reduced to ruins not far away, and they couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
"This... has Kyushu been conquered?" The female ninja looked at Ningning at a loss and asked.
"It probably doesn't count." Ning Ning shook her head and replied, "It can only be said that it was a movable natural disaster. It was all done by the demon snake. It has nothing to do with us."
She could see that the strange marks on the ground around the ruins were probably left by the demon snake crawling.
She had seen it before outside of Kozhi Castle.
I just don’t know why this evil snake suddenly headed south, and it just happened to coincide with the trajectory of Taigong Wang’s army.
"Anyway, let's report the situation here to Taigong Wang first." Ningning patted the female ninja's shoulder and pointed in the direction behind her, "You go, I will continue to explore forward."
"Lord Ningning, please be careful." The female ninja gave a special reminder before leaving.
After the female ninja's figure disappeared, Ningning looked at the trajectory of the demon snake with a serious expression.
She had witnessed the scene when the demon snake wreaked havoc. As far as she knew, unless Lord Raikou came in person, every member of the expeditionary army would be a pushover in front of the demon snake... Not even the immortal Taigong Wang could make a difference.
In fact, if we use the current means of attack to attack the snake demon, it can't even be considered as giving it a massage.
To be honest, she even had the thought of turning around and running away.
But when he thought about how he now depended on 'Lord Raikou' for his survival, the idea of running away was instantly dispelled.
After preparing herself mentally, Ningning set out again and moved forward.
Kyushu was destroyed by the demon snake, and the Mori family had no means of resistance, which was a good thing for them.
But the existence of the demon snake itself is a bad thing... and it is so bad that it cannot be remedied.
So when Taigong Wang received the report from Ningning, an expression of disgust appeared on his face.
He was also fortunate enough to witness the arrival of the demon snake.
The reason why he was separated from several other immortal companions was because he was unable to defeat the demon snake and was blown away by the other party.
Therefore, he is the one who has the deepest understanding of the power of the demon snake.
Looking back at the mixed forces of the expeditionary force behind him, Taigong Wang hesitated.
Should we return home now and leave the task of defeating the demon snake to the commander-in-chief? Or should we send someone back to report the news, slow down our march, follow the demon snake, pick up ready-made items, and wait for the commander-in-chief to come to support us?
After just a few seconds of consideration, Tai Gongwang chose the latter.
We can't let this march end in nothing.
This would be a huge blow to one's own prestige.
As a result, Yukimura Sanada was tasked with returning to Jiangdong to report the news and look for traces of the special operations team with a confused look on his face.
The female ninja took Tai Gongwang's latest instructions and went one step ahead to catch up with Ningning and inform her about the next work situation.
"The world is becoming more and more outrageous. Even immortals are somewhat useless." Tai Gong Wang sighed helplessly as he looked at the departing figure of the female ninja.
However, the issue that he needs to be concerned about now is not the strength of the demon snake and the immortal, but how to suppress the group of "arrogant and powerful generals" behind him.
They were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they just wanted to add their own names to the commander-in-chief's merit book.
…Meanwhile in the North…
Daji's army and the immortal world's army temporarily ceased fighting.
Because a more troublesome character appeared.
A demonic snake suddenly broke into the battlefield between the two sides, closed its eyes and started killing.
In its eyes, there is no distinction between friend and foe. Under its tail, immortals and demons are equal, and the same word is "death".
Daji was quite happy at first, thinking that her wish would have a chance to come true.
As a result, if she had not been very skilled in using her spatial movement ability, she would have been severely beaten by the snake's tail.
Therefore, she also saw that the demon snake had no reason at all and could not be considered to have resurrected 'Tomurochi'.
So, Daji started to slack off.
While she was slacking off, Himiko, who had originally intended to contribute, was confused. Seeing that Daji had an expression that said, "I'm going to be autistic and don't want to care about anyone," the little girl could only sit beside her with a pout and hum a song.
Without the arrangements of Daji and Himiko, the leaderless demon army fell into chaos.
Once the demon army was in chaos, the stunned immortal army naturally could not stabilize and simply fell into chaos.
But both sides simultaneously started to attack the snake demon, which killed everyone without distinguishing between friend and foe.
The commander of the Immortal Army, Susanoo, was in a difficult situation.
The immortal army under my command is a little out of control.
It’s all because of the appearance of that evil snake.
So he picked up his weapon and planned to call Nezha to fight the snake together.
But when he turned around, he found that Nezha was being entangled by Lu Bu again and he didn't know where he was.
Helplessly, he could only go into battle alone with his relatively calm guards.
They are quite different from the soldiers of the fairy army. Those miscellaneous soldiers would basically lose half their lives if they were swept by the demon snake's tail, and they couldn't even get up.
But Susanoo was swept five or six times in a row, but he was still able to stand up again every time and charge at the snake again.
But... after all, since he had no experience fighting against demon snakes before, Susanoo's attack did not have much effect on the demon snake.
But he successfully attracted the attention of the demon snake.
The demon snake has begun to attack him specifically.
Just when Suzhan Ming was complaining inwardly and even planning to abandon the Immortal Army and leave first, two streams of light suddenly attacked from a distance.
After his figure was revealed, Susanoo was overjoyed.
"Nuwa! Fuxi! Come and lend me a hand!"
No single immortal can be a match for this evil snake, but the immortals have the ability to work together.
That power is not the result of 1+1+1.
"Su Zhanming... you're not?" Nuwa frowned and looked at Su Zhanming. "Although this demon snake is indeed difficult to deal with, as the current top fighter in the fairy world, you shouldn't be beaten so badly, right?"
"I fought with Daji before and consumed a lot of energy." Susanoo replied somewhat aggrievedly.
"If you are counting on the three immortals to join forces and use the hand-to-hand skill... I can only tell you that this idea is unrealistic." Fuxi avoided the tail sweep of the demon snake while sharing his experience with Suzan Ming, "When the demon snake just descended, Nuwa, Taigong Wang and I, the three immortals, had already used the hand-to-hand skill, and the result was only better than nothing."
"Tsk!" Suzhan Ming's face darkened when he heard that.
Taigong Wang, Nuwa and Fuxi, the combined skills of these three immortals were so powerful that even I had to avoid them in my prime, fearing that I would be attacked, but the demon snake...
"Retreat! Retreat to the fairyland for the time being!" Suzhanming planned to lead the army back to the fairyland first, regroup and then make plans.
Chapter 78 Zhao Zilong: I'm the One Holding the Scene
The news of Taira no Kiyomori's death had already spread among the demons.
There were even demons who sneaked into Jianye City to watch the head hung on the wooden stake on the city wall.
As a result, Taira no Kiyomori's subordinates fled in scattered groups.
Except for the demons who couldn't find their way for a while, most of them chose to serve under Daji. Occasionally, a small number of demons defected to the "Jiao" which had become more and more famous recently.
As for fighting back... I don’t have that ability!
As a result, the demonic power in the Shu region declined to the extreme.
The Shu army and Tokugawa army, which had been hiding from the pursuit, finally turned around and began to resist the pursuit of the demon army, and even launched a counterattack against them.
"Military Advisor, hold on a little longer. We have seen hope." Liu Bei sat on the ground, holding the pale Zhuge Liang on the stretcher with one hand, his face quite nervous. "As long as we can drive out the demon army, we will have enough energy to find a doctor."
After Chengdu was conquered by the snake demon, they fled all the way, and many doctors were lost or killed along the way.
As a result, among the thousands of people in the Shu and Tokugawa armies, there is not even one who can cure diseases and save lives.
The demon army also became insidious and vicious.
After experiencing the Battle of Enryuchi, the first person they targeted for death was not Liu Bei, who had the most cohesive power, but Zhuge Liang, who had various plans and even schemed against Daji at one point, causing him to lose his balance.
There were several assassination attempts, although most of them were handled by Hattori Hanzo and Zhao Yun.
However, as the enemy's ambushes became increasingly insidious, Zhuge Liang was successfully defeated several times and suffered heavy losses.
The reason why he could hold on until now was because Zhuge Liang's obsession was still there and he was holding on to his last breath.
"My lord... the demon army is in chaos. There must be something wrong in the rear. Although I don't know which army it is, this is a good opportunity for us to break out." Zhuge Liang's lips trembled slightly, and his voice was hoarse and weak.
"I only regret that my body is about to collapse. I can no longer see the light of day, and I can no longer offer advice to my lord..."
Although Zhuge Liang was a well-rounded talent and was well aware of the treatment methods for injuries, his body was severely injured and he could not get effective medicines and other treatment materials. He also stayed in this place with many mosquitoes for a long time, so his body had already been damaged.
According to his calculations, the day should be in the next few days.
"Military advisor..." Liu Bei's tone was mixed with tears.
He is in a pretty bad situation now.
The situation of his second brother Guan Yu is unclear, and his third brother fell into the trap of the demon army some time ago and was forced to separate from the main force. His whereabouts are still unknown. The only general he can trust and use is Zhao Yun.
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yinping, who had a sad face beside him.
Oh, no, that's not right. Yinping is a very fast growing kid. Although he's not mature yet, he can barely be used as a general.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was in an even worse situation. The only person he could trust was Hattori Hanzo, and most of his other advisers and generals had died in the previous hunt by the demon army.
There were thousands of miscellaneous soldiers and only a few generals. Zhuge Liang, the military advisor who could give advice to everyone, was in imminent danger. Liu Bei's heart was almost broken.
In the past, when his territory was not so large, even when he was beaten and forced to flee by Cao Cao and Lu Bu, he had never been as miserable as he is now.
Neither of his two brothers was by his side, and the military advisor he relied on was only breathing his last breath.
Only Zhao Yun could comfort his sad mood.
"My lord, I don't have much time left, and my mind is not clear enough now. I can no longer give you advice, but there is only one thing I ask you to do... find Yueying... Yueying's planning ability is not much weaker than mine, and her mechanical skills have not improved so far... Whether Shu Han can rise again depends on her... If Yueying is determined to retire and is unwilling to contribute... My lord, you can make your own decision."
Guan Yinping, who was standing by, suddenly started to tremble.
Although she is naive and lively, she is not a fool.
Zhuge Liang's slightly heavy tone just now didn't sound like he was saying anything good about his wife.
The military advisor has a deep love for Shu Han.
Thinking of his father's evaluation of Zhuge Liang, Guan Yinping swallowed and turned his head to look aside.
Although it might be unfair to her father and uncle, Guan Yinping now really hopes that Sister Yueying can hide well and not be found.
She has a very good relationship with Huang Yueying, so she knows very well that apart from Military Advisor Zhuge, Sister Yueying only has her research and development of mechanical devices in her heart.
Politics, planning, country, military and civilians.
These things have never been valued by Sister Yueying.
She only got involved because Military Advisor Zhuge valued it.
Guan Yinping once heard Huang Yueying talk about her previous life plan.
He found a mountain forest to live in seclusion, accompanied by military advisor Zhuge Liang every day, and studied mechanical techniques together.
Just like before Military Advisor Zhuge Liang defected to Liu Bei.
Those days were the happiest time in her life.
Just as Guan Yinping was about to cry more and more as she recalled the past, Tokugawa Ieyasu came back with his heavy steps.
"Lord Ieyasu...what happened ahead?" Looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu's expression that seemed like he was about to cry, Liu Bei asked with a stiff face.
"Hanzo sacrificed himself to save me." Tokugawa Ieyasu sat down opposite Liu Bei and answered in a dull tone, "It is true that the demon army has weakened, but they have not weakened enough to be chased and beaten by thousands of us... We fell into their trap. Thanks to General Zilong who arrived with his troops and defeated that part of the demon army, I was able to come back alive."
"What?" Liu Bei looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu in astonishment. "We have already taken down five or six strongholds of the demon army! Are they willing to do so?"
