The demon monk in the second dimension

At the time the story takes place, Yashiro Station has already been breached by the Kabane.

Meanwhile, a large Kabane fusion group known as "Black Smoke" also hovers among the ruins of Yicheng.

Overall, Yatsushiro Station was just one of the unremarkable post stations in Japan.

However, with more and more outposts being captured by the Kabane, the importance of the remaining outposts is becoming increasingly apparent.

Xianjin Post Station is the birthplace of the protagonist and an important post station responsible for the manufacture and maintenance of "Juncheng".

However, not long after the story began, it was also destroyed by the Kabane.

For Xia Zhi, what he needs most right now is manpower.

For example, on the way to Yadai-i Station.

He slaughtered a thousand Kabane by himself, but could only absorb their souls and could not use their corpses, causing a great waste and making the frugal Xia Laomo very distressed.

It's true that Kabane is everywhere in this world, but the way to use these materials sometimes requires a long period of cultivation and accumulation.

Summer Solstice is all alone. Summoning skeletons for help requires magic power and the duration is short, which is very inconvenient.

If we had a post town, the construction of the Blood Pool and the collection of Kabane corpses could be put on the agenda.

After learning about the general situation of Yatsudai-i Station, Xia Zhi asked Yuan Song Gang to summon the other elders.

Before long, the actual controllers of the Eight Generations Station arrived one after another.

Then they were all controlled by Xia Zhi's hypnosis and obeyed his commands.

Soon, Xia Zhi issued two instructions.

First, dig a large pit, more than eight meters long and wide and more than two meters deep, on the edge of the Eight Generations Station.

Second, gather eight warriors, put them on a cart, and take them out of the city with him.

The first instruction is relatively simple.

In a time when each post town is surrounded by high walls, and ordinary people can't even leave the city in their entire lives, the lords of each post town are essentially local tyrants.

City Lord Yuansong Gang, along with three elders, each assigned four people to their respective households, and soon summoned sixteen farmers to begin work.

The second instruction is more difficult to handle.

In this era, everyone knows that the Kabane are entrenched outside the city.

No matter how far away you are, just standing on the city wall, you can see scattered Kabane scattered around the moat.

They roared at the warriors patrolling and guarding the city walls, waving their hands and shouting angrily.

Although they could not cross the moat, they could put immense psychological pressure on the stationed samurai.

The city wall was guarded in shifts.

In other words, all the samurai had seen the Kabane.

When Madoka Tsuyoshi and three elders gathered the samurai from Yashiro Station and asked them to volunteer to go out of the city with Natsume, no one signed up.

Some of them looked scared, while others wondered why they had to leave the city.

The samurai's hesitation and indecisiveness made Tsuyoshi Madoka and his elders feel ashamed in front of their master.

Yuan Song slammed his fist on the table in anger, making a loud bang.

"Baka yarou! This is a mage from the British Empire! He's here to clear out the Kabane and reclaim the lost territory in Japan!"

Samurai: ...

It would have been better if Madoka hadn't said anything; the samurai's expressions became even stranger after he did.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Xia Zhi became questioning.

Previously, they thought that Xia Zhi, who was wearing leather armor, had silver hair and fair skin and looked like a mixed-race person, was a warrior newly recruited by the city lord.

The answer was surprisingly "mage"?

In this era when the Kabane brought endless terror, at first, some mages did indeed come and say they could solve the Kabane problem and restore peace to the world.

However, as one useless so-called mages and high monks after another were devoured by the Kabane, they had long since stopped believing!

They believed that Xia Zhi had bewitched the city lord and his elders.

One of the warriors glared at Xia Zhi: "This is sending them to their deaths!"

Xia Zhi, this demon who has lived for eight hundred years, doesn't even understand this little thing?

He addressed the warriors.

"Words are no proof. You all should come with me."

……

With suspicion in their hearts, the samurai, along with Natsumi, Madoka Tsuyoshi, and the elders, came to the top of the city wall.

They stared at Xia Zhi, eager to see what kind of tricks he would pull.

Xia Zhi made a sword gesture with her hands, aimed at two scattered Kabane standing by the moat, and gave a soft shout.

"Draw the sheath!"

This is a sword incantation from the Heavenly Realm; the people of this world simply cannot understand it.

The warriors watched as Xia Zhi pointed a finger and moved her mouth, and a dark, gooey thing flew out of Xia Zhi's stomach in a flash.

Under Xia Zhi's control, the white bone flying sword reached a speed of nearly 100 meters per second.

In less than two seconds, the white bone flying sword pierced the heart of a Kabane with a clang, then turned in mid-air and killed another Kabane.

To ensure that ordinary people nearby could see clearly, Xia Zhi deliberately slowed down when recalling the flying sword.

Then, everyone could see a long sword, entirely black but with red vein-like patterns, flying towards Xia Zhi and finally hovering beside him.

Not only the samurai, but also Tsuyoshi Madoka and the three elders were stunned!

Hundreds of meters away, a flying sword swept across the sky, killing two Kabane as easily as killing chickens.

They will probably never forget this scene, which gave everyone a rude awakening!

"He really is a mage!"

"Master Mage!"

When Xia Zhi revealed this skill, the warriors' expressions immediately changed from doubt and anger to worship and awe.

They lowered their heads, showing respect to Xia Zhi, and no one dared to meet her gaze with anger.

At this point, Xia Zhi said.

"Now I need a few people to come with me out of the city to bring back these Kabane corpses for spellcasting and research. Who among you is willing to come with me?"

Leaving the city was indeed dangerous, and some timid warriors hesitated.

But since Xia Zhi is a genuine mage, there are also bold and ambitious warriors who have stepped forward!

"My lord, I do!"

"My lord, I'm willing too!"

Soon, eight samurai stepped forward.

Without any access to Junjo, the drawbridge at Yatsushiro Station was lowered and the city gates were opened.

Xia Zhi, wielding a white bone flying sword, took the lead.

Eight warriors, pushing four carts, followed Xia Zhi carefully, their hearts filled with excitement and nervousness.

Chapter 42 Moving

Even just suspending a flying sword requires mana, though the amount consumed is very small.

Golden Core level flying swords are far from reaching the point where they are "divine swords with spirits" and can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to be self-sufficient.

Not to mention that this is a low-level spiritual world.

At the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, Xia Zhi's dantian still doesn't store much mana, so it can't be wasted.

So, in order to conserve his magic power, he held the flying sword in his hand.

Before leaving the city, Xia Zhi handed the armored horse tallies to the warriors, two tallies to each of them.

"This is a talisman for riding horses. Stick it on your feet and you'll be as fast as a galloping horse, traveling a thousand miles a day. Everyone, take food and water; we'll head back before dark."

The samurai solemnly accepted the talisman, their expressions so grave that it was as if they were holding their newborn children, not talismans.

They rolled up their trouser legs and tied the amulets to their calves.

The next moment, feeling their legs suddenly feel much lighter, the eight warriors all showed expressions of joy and relief.

At the same time, they looked at Xia Zhi with even greater reverence.

Being a powerful mage is a personal matter.

But since the mage can use magic on everyone, that's everyone's business!

……

When the suspension bridge is lowered, it makes an extremely heavy and deep sound.

Many Kabane outside the city would come running when they heard this sound, wanting to enter the city and bite people.

Therefore, every time Junjo entered the city, the samurai would gather at the city gate and use steam guns to clear out the Kabane.

Although the steam guns couldn't kill the Kabane, the impact of the bullets could hinder their movement and knock them back.

This time, the samurai acted just like they did when they entered the Iron Fortress yesterday.

They carried steam-generating cylinders on their backs, gripped steam guns tightly in their hands, and cautiously peered at the open door.

At the gate, some Kabane who had heard the noise ran over.

But before they could make a move, Xia Zhi flicked his right hand, and a black longsword suddenly appeared in his hand.

Pong!

The flying sword transformed into a streak of black light, easily piercing the heart of a Kabane without showing any sign of strain.

With a soft thud, the Kabane's eyes lost their luster, the violent look on his face vanished, and he fell backward.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Zhi pinched her sword fingers and used her magic to control the flying sword.

The white bone flying swords charged through the Kabane horde, their flashing blades sending up sprays of blood.

More than a dozen Kabane who arrived at the city gate fell one after another, their gray-black corpses piled up, which greatly shocked the warriors.

Beside the city gate, Tsuyoshi Madoka, who insisted on staying there, also looked excited and thrilled.

He looked at the Kabane's corpse on the ground and shouted to the warriors.

"What are you all standing there for! Hurry up and move these bodies into the truck!"

The warriors nodded quickly and went forward to pile Kabane's body onto the cart.

"The body is in the pit I had dug, and I'll deal with it when I get back."

Xia Zhi reached out and beckoned, and the flying sword returned naturally, landing in his hand.

"Let's go."

"Hi Yi!"

The warriors responded in unison and followed behind Xia Zhi.

……

This is the first time since the construction of the Yatsushiro Station that samurai have voluntarily left the city without using the Junjo.

They were both familiar with and curious about the surrounding scenery.

She's like a little girl who never leaves the house, finding everything new and exciting.

Along the railway tracks, Xia Zhi led the warriors back the way they had come.

He had cleared most of the Kabane on this road last night, so he didn't encounter many Kabane this time.

He mainly picked up the bodies of the Kabane he killed yesterday.

With the aid of the armored talisman, the warriors ran like the wind and didn't feel tired at all.
