Chapter 111: A rare peace and tranquility
Due to the suddenness of the incident, even though Hua Liluo and others had brought troops to support very quickly, they were still one step too late. Gan Yuelong and others were outnumbered, and in order to preserve their strength, they had to temporarily withdraw from Tokyo City.
Even though the order to retreat had been issued in a timely manner, only a few of the demon sword princesses were lucky enough to escape because they were too far away and were unable to return in time to join the battle.
Of the remaining twenty or so demon sword girls who participated in the battle, half were killed in this blocking battle. They all faced the enemy head-on and died of exhaustion. That crazy girl Lu Lingjia was among them.
Now in Tokyo City, only Shen Yuelan's Qin Ruishi Corps and some Song soldiers are still fighting in the street, temporarily delaying the enemy's pace in this way.
The remaining demon sword princesses temporarily retreated to the Taoist temple where Shen Yuelan was to rest and recuperate. The bodies of the heroes scattered in Tokyo City were also dug out from the ruins by Qin Ruishi and transported back.
Shen Yuelan looked at the dozen or so familiar corpses lying on the ground and was speechless for a moment. When she left in the morning, they were all still alive and kicking, but now... they were all gone.
But Shen Yuelan did not regret giving them the order to reinforce, because she knew that the soldiers under her command would never regret it.
Even if they die nine times, they will not regret it. This is what the current demon sword princesses are like.
Don’t you see that on the high hall, the remaining dozen or so demon sword ladies all have a ferocious look as if they are sharpening their swords, and they are ready to charge into the enemy group again at any time as long as Shen Yuelan gives the order.
Among them, Xiao Yuhuan was the most agitated. According to those who came back, the reason why Xiao Yuhuan was able to come back alive was that Lu Lingjia used his life to delay the enemy and opened up a way of survival for Xiao Yuhuan.
Therefore, Xiao Yuhuan has always been brooding over the death of her best friend. If Lu Lingjia had not asked her to listen to Shen Yuelan before his death, Xiao Yuhuan would have rushed out to avenge her friend.
Shen Yuelan sighed softly and sealed the dozen or so corpses lying on the ground into the painted coffins. When she was ready to return to the inner world, she would bury them together with Zhao Yuanxian in the painted tomb.
Hua Liluo was also on the other side of the courtyard, gathering her colleagues who had died in the battle. While doing so, she angrily scolded Gan Yuelong who was injured beside her.
[Are you stupid? Have I ever told you that when you discover the enemy, if the strength is too great, just retreat quietly and report it in time. It's not shameful.]
[You knew there were so many people on the other side, but you still rushed forward foolishly! It would have been fine if you rushed forward alone, but you brought so many people with you. ]
[You are standing here alive and kicking, but where are the others? Where is Shangguan Xi? Where is Ning Chen Ge? Where are those demon sword princesses under A Lan? ]
【When will you grow up? 】
Gan Yuelong's on-the-spot decision was not recognized by his master, and the bloody corpses in the yard also made Gan Yuelong lose the confidence to refute Hua Liluo's scolding.
Shen Yuelan felt that now was not a good time to sit here and watch the show, so she chose to take a detour to check on the conditions of other people. She slowly walked to Liu Shanyin's side and asked about the situation of Ningchen Pavilion.
Ning Chen Ge was lying in Liu Shanyin's arms at this moment, with her Qi threads floating around. Her experience allowed her to successfully rescue many demon sword girls, but this body was in danger of death due to overuse.
Si Ziqian and others are building a rapid transfer channel. Once the channel is completed, they will be able to send seriously injured people like Ning Chenge back to the other world in time to replace their bodies.
The reinforcements from the other world have already set up camp not far from the Taoist temple, and new reinforcements are still arriving in an endless stream. Shen Yuelan's firepower strike work has also been taken over by the incoming artillery corps.
After a while, when the army is fully assembled, they will, under the command of Yue Wuhui, launch a general attack on the enemy legion still fighting in Tokyo City.
The Otherworld Administration does not intend to let this war last too long. After all, the war takes place in the densely populated city of Tokyo.
With every day the war lasts, the manpower and material resources needed by the inner world to repair the surface world will increase exponentially. Therefore, Yue Wuhui and others hope to resolve the battle as soon as possible through a large-scale battle.
In order to achieve the goal in one go, the required preparations were very time-consuming. Yue Wuhui had to promise Shen Yuelan a huge reward, hoping that her Qin Rui Shi Corps could hold on for a while longer.
Shen Yuelan didn't care much about Qin Ruishi's loss. He would be able to recover after a while anyway. She was more worried about the safety of the two sisters Suxin and Suyi.
Although Qin Ruishi had been telling her that the two were safe, Shen Yuelan was still somewhat uneasy. If something happened to the two of them, she really would not be able to explain to Shen Sushang.
Therefore, Shen Yuelan planned to sneak into Tokyo City quietly after the situation here stabilized, to check on the conditions of the two people, and by the way, to see if Liu E and Zhao Heng were still alive.
Of course, the life and death of these two people is not very important at this moment, because as long as the inner world wins, everything will be restored to normal, which naturally includes the life and death of Liu E and his wife.
Just as Shen Yuelan was sitting in the yard thinking about life, a furry creature limped to her side, trying to seek comfort from her.
Shen Yuelan looked down and found that it was Su Xuan. In the previous battle, while trying to protect Shen Yuelan, she was shot in the hind legs by the enemy, so it was very difficult for her to walk.
Upon seeing this, Shen Yuelan hurriedly hugged her in her arms to prevent her from running around again. The wound had just been sutured with great difficulty, and she couldn't move around anymore.
Shen Yuelan carried Su Xuan back to her room, where Su Jiu was also recuperating. Shen Huanyan was taking care of the two of them. She was careless just now and Su Xuan ran away.
At this moment, she was sulking and when she saw Su Xuan being carried back by Shen Yuelan, she immediately turned her head away angrily and didn't look at Su Xuan, this stinky fox.
Shen Yuelan found this a little funny and rubbed Su Xuan's little head. Su Xuan stuck out her tongue at Shen Yuelan feeling a little guilty.
She went to find the boss. Really, why is she so angry?
Shen Yuelan kissed the little fox to comfort her, and then gently placed her next to Huanyan. Su Xuan also very tactfully moved closer to Huanyan and began to act coquettishly to her, trying to seek forgiveness.
Shen Huanyan felt a little shy when the little fox licked her, and she couldn't hold it back for a moment. Although she was still merciless with her words, her body honestly forgave the little fox. She gently carried her back to the bed and checked her wounds.
After Su Xuan was properly arranged, Shen Yuelan's gaze turned to the other side of the room, to Su Jiu, who had been silent. Although Su Jiu did not say anything, Shen Yuelan knew that she was injured no less than Su Xuan.
She walked to Su Jiu's bed, looked at Su Jiu's ghost horn that was cut off by the enemy, held him in her arms with some heartache, and comforted him softly.
The corners of Su Jiu's mouth rose slightly, and he lay obediently in Shen Yuelan's arms, taking a short rest and enjoying this rare comfort in the war.
Chapter 112: The Fall of Tokyo
The situation in Tokyo City was constantly deteriorating. Although there were 100,000 Qin elite soldiers, the enemy reinforcements kept coming in as the air loopholes had not been repaired. The Qin army was soon wiped out and had no strength to fight again.
At this moment, Su Xin and Su Yi could only hide here and there under the protection of a dozen personal soldiers, trying to get out of the city, but the towering city walls of Bianliang made their escape extremely difficult.
Liu E and his wife, who had originally acted with them, had already been tragically killed by the enemy. Although they knew that they would be resurrected later, the disappointment in Liu E's eyes still deeply hurt their hearts.
When Liu E saw them for the first time, she knew that they were the reinforcements sent by Shen Yuelan. It was a pity that they failed to successfully protect Liu E. Now, even they themselves are in a difficult situation.
Su Yi regrets it very much now. She should have made a contract with Shen Yuelan before coming back, so that she could escape back through the contract. But it is too late to regret now.
Soon, the last of the two men's personal soldiers were killed in the battle. Before his death, the Qin warrior hid half of the two men's bodies and the new clothes made by Liu E in a hidden corner, and used himself as bait to lure away the enemy.
This made the two of them realize very deeply that the Qin warriors were all living people, not so-called skills. The defeat of the two of them led to the death of a full 100,000 Qin soldiers on the battlefield, wrapped in horsehide.
This made the two of them fall into deep self-blame. Just as they were gradually sinking into despair like the setting sun, a pair of familiar little hands took away the package containing the two of them quickly in the dim night.
The person who came was none other than Shen Yuelan, who had entered the city to investigate the situation. She had already arrived nearby and was waiting to pick up everyone.
Unfortunately, the road to escape was much more difficult than she had imagined. As an ordinary person, Liu E could not make it here alive even with the escort of Qin Ruishi.
Shen Yuelan came alone this time. After all, the general attack was approaching, and the army would not expose its strength for Shen Yuelan's subordinates. Therefore, Shen Yuelan had to work hard to rescue people on her own.
As for the higher-ups in the inner world, sooner or later, they will avenge themselves for their ungrateful behavior. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, Shen Yuelan thought silently while holding the clothes that Liu E had made for her.
Shen Yuelan followed the shadows and sneaked into a house next to the city wall. There was a tunnel inside that Su Xuan had dug for her. After crawling for a while with difficulty while holding the package, Shen Yuelan finally saw the light of the exit.
A little golden fox was guarding the other side of the exit, constantly looking into the cave.
After seeing Shen Yuelan crawling out of the cave, Su Xuan quickly filled the hole back and began to clean up the mess. After everything was cleaned up, the man and the fox took advantage of the night and swaggered back to the Taoist temple.
The two people who returned to the Taoist temple successfully completed the rescue mission. Although there was a difference between the expected number of rescuers, Shen Yuelan had no better way than to accept it for the time being.
Shortly after Shen Yuelan rescued the Suyi sisters, the general attack that everyone had been waiting for finally began.
The army of the other world, numbering over 500,000, began to launch a fierce attack on the enemies in Tokyo City. With Shen Yuelan's tacit approval, the members of the Demon Coin Inspection Team also joined the battle.
After all, no matter how dissatisfied Shen Yuelan is with the top leaders of the inner world, she will not go against money. [War Wealth] is not just talk. There is absolutely no reason to block other people's financial path because of personal grudges.
However, Shen Yuelan herself seemed a little careless. Not only did she refuse the headquarters' request to send troops on the grounds that Qin Ruishi had been almost completely depleted and could not be restored in a short period of time, but she also refused the headquarters' request to send troops.
He didn't even pay much attention to the fire defense zone he was in charge of. He only picked targets with relatively high strategic value to bombard, and he often missed the target. He looked like he was determined to give up.
The headquarters talked to her many times about this, but Shen Yuelan refused to cooperate, saying that she was not a combat unit, and helping you was a favor, and not helping you was her duty, and if you had the guts, just replace her.
But Yue Wuhui was only a major general, and she really couldn't do anything about Shen Yuelan, who was outside the military establishment.
Yue Wuhui also knew the reason for this guy's dissatisfaction. Some time ago, Shen Yuelan wanted to rescue the remnants of her troops left in Tokyo City, but he flatly refused. Shen Yuelan therefore became resentful towards him.
In layman's terms, they had a grudge against each other, but could this be his fault? He couldn't disrupt the overall deployment for the sake of those little monsters, and let the efforts of the entire army of 500,000 people go to waste.
But Yue Wuhui forgot who had won such a precious strategic preparation period for the army of the inner world. Was it her, Yue Wuhui? No, it was precisely those two little demons who were insignificant in her eyes. They were the ones who created the miracle.
Shen Yuelan was indignant about this. She had already complained to Hua Liluo and Gan Yuelong several times. The two of them advised Shen Yuelan to put the overall situation first and not to act rashly.
After all, as long as Yue Wuhui wins the war, then under the halo of victory, all her unreasonable actions on the battlefield will become her masterpiece.
As the opponent, Shen Yuelan will only be a clown and will always be the foil of the other party in the story. Therefore, the two advised Shen Yuelan to be patient, and it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
But the two also saw the achievements and efforts of the Suxin sisters. They assured Shen Yuelan that they would strive for the maximum benefit for the Suxin sisters and asked Shen Yuelan not to get angry for the time being.
Therefore, Shen Yuelan had to give up for the time being, but it was absolutely impossible for her to work as hard for her as she did in the Battle of Annan. Anyway, she would not be promoted to the rank of major general in a short time, so why should she work so hard for Yue Wuhui?
In contrast to Shen Yuelan's negative attitude, Gan Yuelong performed bravely on the battlefield. This was mainly because she had been scolded by Hua Liluo before, and after thinking about it for a while, she felt that her decision was indeed inappropriate.
He felt really sorry for the younger generations who died in the battle, so Gan Yuelong fought desperately on the battlefield with the intention of avenging his younger generations, trying to comfort the souls of his dead compatriots in heaven.
Shen Yuelan did not comment on Gan Yuelong's actions. Be it repentance or atonement, it was just self-consolation for the living. Once a person is dead, he is dead and will never be resurrected because of your atonement and repentance.
But Shen Yuelan had no intention of stopping her. If this could make Gan Yuelong feel better, then just let her go. As long as she was fine and came back safely, it would be fine.
The battle situation was not as smooth as Yue Wuhui and others had imagined, because they took too long to prepare, resulting in too many enemies landing. Therefore, although various actions effectively hit the enemy, they failed to inflict any serious damage to the enemy.
The war therefore fell into a stalemate, and both sides were forced to begin using positional warfare, hand-to-hand combat and other "Verdun meat grinder"-style tactics to advance the progress of the war.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Yuelan immediately recalled all her team members. After all, they had gained enough in the early stages of the war.
Those regular troops have spare bodies prepared for them by the government, so dying once is not a big deal, but these kittens in my own home don’t have such good treatment, so if they die, they are really dead.
Therefore, everyone was quite aware of the situation. After Shen Yuelan gave the order, everyone immediately slipped back, including Gan Yuelong.
After all, this way of dying is really meaningless. Everyone has some doubts about it and no one is willing to continue participating.
Therefore, in the middle of the war, everyone chose to hide in the Taoist temple, occasionally standing on the roof with Shen Yuelan and firing a few shots at Tokyo City.
Only Gan Yuelong had nothing to do and went out for a stroll. Of course, she was not going to the battlefield, but to inquire about the news from Si Ziqin and Hua Liluo. After all, it was okay to be a coward, but the information must be kept smooth at all times.
Otherwise, you will definitely be cheated by others due to information asymmetry. This is Gan Yuelong’s experience.
Chapter 113 Goodbye Tokyo City
Just half a month after the battle had been going on, Gan Yuelong suddenly got the latest military intelligence from Si Ziqin. The intelligence showed that after half a month of the meat grinder-like war, the enemy finally couldn't hold on and was clearly showing signs of decline.
Based on this intelligence, Yue Wuhui planned to launch another large-scale strike to cut off the enemy's retreat and completely defeat the invading enemy.
Shen Yuelan stared at the intelligence in her hand, feeling vaguely uneasy. She felt that the enemy's decline was deliberately displayed, but she had no evidence to convince others.
Yue Wuhui, who was under tremendous pressure, would never miss any opportunity to win the war, so Shen Yuelan was a little hesitant about whether she should withdraw in time.
Some time ago, Liu E's body was secretly found by the Song army under Shen Yuelan, and the copper hairpin was also found, which was the body of the Tianxi monster.
But what surprised Shen Yuelan and others was that the one occupying the bronze hairpin now was not the original Tianxi demon, but a special soul demon similar to a ghost that was born in Liu E's body and inherited some of Liu E's memories.
After seeing this guy, Gan Yuelong was deeply impressed by Liu E's deep obsession with Shen Yuelan. After all, this kind of soul cannot be condensed without a certain degree of obsession.
Gan Yuelong told Shen Yuelan that she could regard this monster as Liu E who had always loved her.
Because according to the news she recently heard from Hua Liluo, the Time Management Bureau intends to take advantage of this opportunity to conduct a major cleanup and thoroughly cleanse the Song Dynasty.
All traces left by those time travelers and various departments performing their missions over the years must be cleaned up.
In other words, after this battle, there will no longer be Old Zhao who had met Shen Yuelan, no longer Zhao Yuanxian who was loyal to Shen Yuelan until death, and no longer Liu E who loved Shen Yuelan deeply.
Therefore, this soul demon and that piece of clothing will be the only traces left in this world by Liu E, who loved Shen Yuelan. The corpse will be fine, as it has rotted away and only bones are left.
As for the Tianxi demon, according to Gan Yuelong's judgment, it should have been swallowed by Liu E's soul demon, which in a sense can be regarded as having been brought to justice.
With this in mind, and on the premise that the target of the mission had been brought to justice, Shen Yuelan felt that there was no need for her to stay in the Song Dynasty any longer, and it was time to end the mission.
What's more, Yue Wuhui's decision made Shen Yuelan's sixth sense go crazy. If she didn't run away now, when would she run? Although Gan Yuelong and others felt that Shen Yuelan's reaction was a bit extreme, they still decided to leave here with Shen Yuelan.
After all, their mission had indeed been completed, and there was no reason to stay any longer.
So, everyone started packing their bags and preparing to leave. Shen Yuelan stood on the roof of the Taoist temple, looking at the small courtyard where she had lived for more than ten years, and the war-torn city of Tokyo in the distance, and suddenly felt a sense of desolation.
After today's farewell, everything here will no longer have anything to do with me. Everything will become familiar yet strange. Shen Yuelan tightly grasped the copper hairpin carrying Liu E's soul demon and said goodbye silently to everything in front of her.
Goodbye, Lao Zhao, goodbye, Tokyo City.
Leaving the Song Dynasty was much easier than Shen Yuelan had imagined. Gan Yuelong could easily open a simple anchor door and leave the mission world through her command work machine.
However, for ordinary work phones, one needs to apply and be reviewed in advance before the door can be opened. No wonder Gan Yuelong and the others disappear at any time, it turns out they have privileges.
The demon sword princesses have lined up to enter the gate under the organization of Gan Yuelong. Su Xuan and Su Jiu, led by Huan Yan, are happily running towards the place of their dreams, the heaven they imagined.
Shen Yuelan looked at the expectant expressions of the two fools and imagined their extremely disappointed expressions in her mind. In order to prevent the two guys from being overly sad at that time, Shen Yuelan felt that she had to give them a shot of prevention.
[Okay, stop expecting so much. The so-called heaven is actually hell. It is two sides of the same coin. It is not as beautiful as you think. Go in quickly and don't waste time.]
【Tsk~】
The two little things who were splashed with a basin of cold water by Shen Yuelan ran into the door with an unconvinced look on their faces. Seeing this, Shen Yuelan raised the corners of her mouth slightly. After turning around and exchanging glances with Gan Yuelong, the two bad women immediately showed happy expressions on their faces.
[Okay, stop laughing, and go in quickly. ]
[Hey, Sister Yuelong, aren't you leaving? ]
Gan Yuelong smiled slightly and said that after seeing off Shen Yuelan and the others, she would stay with Hua Liluo and Si Ziqin for a while to gather some information and would not leave with them for the time being.
Of course, she wouldn't rashly join the war.
[Your work machine is ready. You can see it when you return to the captain's office. I have saved my phone number. You can contact me at any time if you have any questions.]
