Tokyo: The Player Behind the Scenes

The official relocation plan was just completed, but it already seems to be no longer suitable for the current situation.

The recent wild animal incursions and the earthquake had already created widespread anxiety among the residents, resulting in almost no one refusing to cooperate after the relocation order was issued.

Some even rushed ahead, while others chose to trust themselves and planned to drive away.

This led to traffic congestion across the entire route, even though they had implemented traffic control measures in advance.

"We are relocating according to the designated areas. Please cooperate! Areas that haven't been relocated yet, please wait patiently."

"Make way, let me through!"

"Damn it, why are you pushing! Can't you see there are children?!"

"Please! Let my wife and kids get in the car first!"

From the helicopter hovering in the sky, Leon shook his head at the sight.

If a monster were to rush out at this moment, all of these people would perish here.

"Let Muramasa Taki go into the city temporarily. With her there, these people will at least feel a little more at ease."

The relocation of the masses had little to do with him; his greatest act of kindness was to arrange for his valuable superhuman combat power.

Time was tight, and he had more work to schedule.

The next day, the monster didn't come, but there was another earthquake.

The third day remained calm, with frequent aftershocks.

Fourth and fifth.

Leon and Ping Shenglong showed no joy.

Because they knew the problem was serious.

This can only mean that the other side has decided to achieve their goal in one decisive battle.

As expected of a Japanese demon, his mind is full of ideas about a decisive battle.

Leon hadn't been idle these past few days; he had also been searching the forest.

However, the forests of Mount Fuji are known for their chaotic magnetic field, so even setting fire to the mountain is ineffective, and the fire cannot spread.

With a "let's give it a try" attitude and with the tacit approval of the Japanese authorities, Leon released a batch of biological and chemical poison gas, but unfortunately, it still didn't have any effect.

The evacuation of the Kofu Basin is almost complete; it's as if this large area has been cleared out for them to use as a battlefield.

It was on the seventh day.

The beast tide is coming.

Thank you to "Traveler Shangqiu" for the donation.

Chapter 228: Successive Breakthroughs

Through the window, Muramasa Taki watched as a convoy forcibly dragged the last group of citizens who were unwilling to leave onto the vehicles.

It took seven days, and at least within this urban area, except for a few people who deliberately played hide-and-seek, didn't believe in the superstition, and wanted to take the opportunity to get rich by buying things for free, the area has been cleared.

Turning around, I saw Nobi Tomoyoshi and Reno sitting on the sofa, gesturing at a map.

They would naturally not be absent from such a grand event.

"Given the current situation, I feel like we can't get involved."

Looking at the densely marked defensive measures on the map, Renault thought that even the resurrected Demon Blade would learn to value peace, and the reappearance of the Kyoto Giant would have to bow and offer a toast.

"More importantly, we haven't even reached the part about Mount Fuji in 'The Promise of the Underworld' yet."

Nobi Tomoyoshi shook his head, which showed that none of them knew who the real enemy was.

Those monsters were clearly just lackeys and thugs they had been pushed out to fight.

"I suspect that the serpent I encountered at Lake Motosu is related to the snake demon in the game," Taki said as he walked up to them.

In the game, after leaving his family, Doman Akatsuki encounters an elderly monk with the Taoist name Yuzen, and under his guidance, he enters the Buddhist order and converts to the Shingon sect.

At that time, true practitioners were extremely rare. Doman Akatsuki and Yuzen were probably the two strongest practitioners in Japan at that time.

Monsters rely on spiritual energy far less than cultivators, but they can't truly be without spiritual energy.

Therefore, after a surge in the number of monsters due to a decrease in cultivators, the number of monsters declined rapidly and, like many others, gradually became scarcer.

But overall, there are still more of them than practitioners.

After converting to the Shingon sect, Xiaoche, under the guidance of the monk Youchan, traveled throughout the country subduing demons and helping the wicked, and gradually came to understand some aspects of Buddhism.

Then they got stuck on a snake demon.

The main reason is that monks insist on not killing living beings, even if the target is a demon.

Therefore, the battle was extremely difficult, and we were stuck here, suspecting that we were missing key items or information.

They thought of the snake bone from the Daoman family, but the problem was that Xiaoche was unwilling to use anything related to the Daoman family.

If they try to get him to use the methods of an Onmyoji, their suspicion will skyrocket, leading to the game's failure.

"The game is set in 1677. How can these monsters live for so long? I'm so envious."

Renault remarked with a sigh, "So living to be a hundred years old is considered short-lived among monsters, right?"

"Assuming it's the same snake, then this grand formation is meant to seal this snake demon? Muramasa, when you saw that snake, was it very different from the one in the game?"

Nobita's gaming intuition told him that the two snakes might be the same one, but this large formation was definitely not built to seal it.

"Yes, it already looks very much like a legendary dragon, with faint horns on its head that haven't grown yet." Taki nodded.

"Since it's an array, there shouldn't be any reason for the sealed entity to become stronger and stronger."

"Perhaps the formation has already malfunctioned."

Taki lowered his head, recalling Renault's words.

'These monsters can live for so long.'

She never believed the origin of the story, that Ashiya Doman planned to rebuild Yomi for the sake of humanity.

Moreover, the mother of the first head of the Doman family is also quite suspicious.

Before she could think any further, Leon sent her an urgent message.

A beast tide has appeared.

Outside the first line of defense.

Leon laid out a large number of IFF mines and blast zones.

So before these monsters even reached the first line of defense, explosions were already raging one after another in the forest.

Looking down, one can see the explosion spreading rapidly like a fuse, with large swathes of forest collapsing like dominoes.

But this massive amount of explosives failed to cause any obstruction, not even qualifying as a speed bump.

Once the group of monsters had completely broken out of the forest and reached the first line of defense, Leon finally understood what was going on.

These monsters weren't outrageously numerous overall, but they were all demonic muscle beasts, much more robust in size than those that had appeared before.

More importantly, these things have shields!

The intense firepower slammed into the charging horde of beasts, but the expected scene of them being torn apart did not occur.

Where the bullets landed, concentric circles of dark red ripples spread outwards, as if the terrifying impact was mostly absorbed by this eerie red film.

Alright, so I've become the interstellar commander, leading the Terran mechanized army to resist the hybrids, right?

But interstellar shields are limited, and these monsters' shields seem impossible to break no matter what! At most, they can only cause some slowing effect.

“It’s not without effect.” Hirosue Eri shook her head and pointed into the distance. “The existence of Mount Fuji is constantly replenishing this shield for them, but we can’t see it. However, the forest can feel it.”

"Okay, let's see who lasts longer."

Leon gritted his teeth. So what if he's using cheats? He can do that too!

He decisively picked up the communicator and called the air force on standby at a nearby base.

On the battlefield, the horde of monsters, enduring machine gun fire, dismantled the fortress like taking apart Lego bricks, smashing the sentry guns inside.

boom!

An unmanned combat vehicle was overturned by a giant bear, whose size was comparable to a small tank, and its tracks broke.

The pre-set explosives inside the tank detonated, igniting the monsters charging at the front.

They roared as they trampled across the burning earth and debris, clearing away obstacles.

The crimson shield twisted and deformed in the flames, yet it remained unbroken.

The carefully arranged outer "speed bumps" and the first line of defense couldn't even hold out for ten minutes before falling one after another.

The roar of engines filled the sky as bombers streaked across the horizon, dropping a barrage of bombs.

Amidst the continuous tremors of the earth, the fire raged and boiled, leaving behind a scorched wasteland.

Under such intense attacks, some of the monsters' shields finally failed to keep up, and they were blasted by the explosion, leaving them with bloody superficial wounds.

These enhanced monsters possess terrifyingly strong defensive capabilities even without shields.

The dark, monstrous figures, glowing with a blood-red aura and exuding an aura of destruction, roared as they broke through the sea of ​​fire, crashing down on the second line of defense, which consisted of armored vehicles and city walls, like a landslide or a tsunami.

Wow!

The water monsters naturally wouldn't give up on this route of attack.

The fish-headed monster broke through the numerous obstacles placed in the river and advanced amidst a hail of bullets.

They didn't have shields like the ground monsters, probably because there were just too many of them. They surged forward along the river, continuously attacking both banks, and their sheer numbers put a lot of pressure on Leon's forces.

On the command tower of the sandbar.

Looking at the difficult situation before him, Leon's original 80% chance of winning began to falter, and his odds of winning plummeted.

dong dong!

The monsters crashed into the reinforced concrete city walls that had been built in the last few days, creating a deafening roar.

Can it hold up?

As more and more monsters crashed into the wall, the wall became increasingly dilapidated, even appearing as if it were being pushed along.

"Execute the evacuation plan"

Seeing the second line of defense crumbling, Leon had no choice but to grit his teeth and utter those words.

The core of the second line of defense is this city wall. Other armored units, drone base vehicles, mechanical dog swarms, and Talos squads are all designed to rely on this city wall and the surrounding buildings for defense and attrition.

Now that the city walls are no longer insurmountable, with the sheer force of these monsters, those buildings are practically made of paper, making them unsuitable for street fighting.

We must retreat, but we also need a second line of defense to buy more time.

boom! Bang!

Concrete blocks of the city wall shattered and flew away, the damage continued to expand, the entire section of the city wall was shaking violently, and the steel plates and reinforcing bars inside were gradually deforming.

The armored forces attempted to suppress the point of impact with heavy firepower, but the ammunition had little effect on the rippling blood-red ripples.

Outside the wall, tireless monsters, like giant battering rams, crashed down again and again, like a scaled-down version of the Orc siege in the Lord of the Rings movies.

finally--

Boom!

With a deafening crash, a section of the city wall, nearly ten meters long, collapsed inward like a block being kicked over by a giant, sending dust billowing into the sky.

The collapsing wall instantly crushed the two tanks below, burying them completely.

The collapsed breach was like the gates of hell being opened.

A horde of ferocious monsters surged in like a torrent, carrying smoke and rubble.

"The breach is open! Block it!" the commander's voice roared over the communication channel.

Amidst the buzzing sound, a massive swarm of combat drones took off from the rear nest, rushed towards the breach, and crashed directly into those hideous heads.

The explosion blasted into blinding orbs of light on the dark red shield, briefly obscuring its path.

The combat mechanical dog fearlessly roamed around, its machine gun on its back attempting to slow down the enemy's advance.
