In Dongyang mainland, a high-level meeting was held intensively.
"Seven days ago, this army suddenly appeared in the Kanto region and wiped out all our troops deployed in that area..."
"Their military equipment is powerful and weird, covering land, sea and air."
"There is a red bird with a simple appearance, more like some kind of giant sculpture than an airplane. It can fly at high speeds in the air, drop bombs, maintain high-temperature air masses for a long time, and spit out gases that are visible to the naked eye. Red lightning."
"There is also a water warfare weapon that looks like a dragon sculpture. It can easily create hundreds of meters of ice on the water. The scales on its body can fall off and cut our ships remotely."
"There are also ground armored units that look like bison, but are generally about three meters in height. However, because our troops were destroyed too quickly, this ground armored unit, in addition to its powerful armor defense capabilities and terrifying load-bearing transportation capabilities, Other than that, it doesn’t show any other characteristics.”
"In addition, they also have a piece of equipment that looks like a giant pangolin, which seems to be able to quickly dig through mountains, dig tunnels, and even move underground. Not much data has been collected on this type of equipment."
The person who explained the intelligence at this meeting was a staff officer who was not yet thirty years old.
There were many people in the conference room. They already had a natural feeling of looking down on this kind of young man. Now after hearing this absurd information, all of them had angry looks on their faces.
An Oriental general vigorously patted the table with the palm of his hand that only had three fingers left.
"I never knew that the intelligence work of the empire is now handled by a group of people like you?!"
"After suffering an unexpected blow, he refused to face up to the fact that his intelligence was lacking. In order to shirk responsibility, he actually used such nonsense to trick us. Even the shogunate bureaucrats before the Restoration Era rarely did such bold things. .”
Having said this, a cold look appeared in the eyes of the Japanese general, and he said to the staff officer, "Or, do you think that those who can take charge of this empire now are still those who were willing to accept any absurd statement in order to shirk responsibility? Laohu Tudan?!"
When the staff got this information, they also felt it was very funny. After repeated confirmation, they brought it to this meeting.
But even though he had been prepared in his heart, he was still under the gaze of everyone and felt like he was breaking out in cold sweat.
But at this moment, the door to the conference room was suddenly opened.
An old man wearing a kimono and holding a small fan slowly walked in from the door.
In such an important meeting, no matter what kind of general he is, he should not barge in with such a frivolous attitude.
However, the general who was missing his fingers just now was extremely respectful at this time, lowered his arrogant head, and shouted: "Teacher."
The other Japanese generals also stood up to show their respect.
Because this old man definitely has the strength and prestige worthy of their respect. He is the commander of the Imperial Guards of the Blood Emperor. He is the legendary leader who has led the vampires in the East for hundreds of years after the Blood Emperor fell into sleep.
But now, his face is extremely serious.
"Gentlemen!"
The old vampire made an old and loud voice, as if the whole room was shaken, "I heard what you just said, but I want to tell you that this information should be completely true."
What? !
Many generals looked at each other, but did not question it.
Only the general with missing fingers asked, "Has the teacher sent someone to check the situation in that place?"
The control of the Kanto region is of great significance to the Japanese people's subsequent invasion strategy.
Because according to expert estimates, the economic potential of the Kanto region is likely to exceed that of the entire East Asia. Only when the economic strength increases and with sufficient support can the military strength be fully exerted.
Even if it is a centuries-old legend
A strange person, but since he was convinced, in this era, let the vampires of the East cooperate with the people of the East to expand outward.
Then it is normal for this old man to pay attention to some important information about this war at any time.
"I did send people to check, but they basically didn't come back."
The leader of the Blood Clan Guards held the folding fan in his hand and said, "However, I have more direct evidence."
A vampire behind him stepped forward and played a video.
The video seems to be a group of vampires having fun, but they are different from the common vampires who are generally more muscular.
Although the vampires in the video are all very gorgeously dressed, most of them look bloated. At first glance, they look like aristocratic children who have not experienced much training.
Most of the generals in the conference room had personal experience on the battlefield. The general with missing fingers had two fingers blown off in a previous war.
When they saw the people in the video, they all had a look of disgust on their faces, but they didn't say anything.
Just because they all know that it is not a noble among ordinary people, but a noble among vampires - "Bai".
The ancestors of the Bai family were a family of warlocks who followed the Blood Emperor. After being transformed into vampires, their descendants were born with higher talents than vampires transformed by infection.
After so many years, the Bai family's nobles have become an unshakable behemoth. Even if there are so many moths among their members, the empire's generals have no way to shake their status.
These Bai family nobles were having a party under the sacred mountain "Fugaku" in the East. As for taking pictures of banquets, they had become popular in recent years.
The video continued to play, and suddenly, the roof of the house where these nobles were sitting was lifted, and a large and graceful monster lowered its head, with its dragon beard fluttering, looking at the vampires inside the house.
It was a dragon, a green one, in line with the dragon in Eastern myths and legends.
The entire roof was pinched away by one claw of this giant dragon.
The noble vampires in the room had different expressions. Some actually laughed and cursed, thinking that they didn't know who had used their talent for illusion to create this dragon. Some even wanted to use their own talent to destroy the dragon.
The dragon felt their movements and opened its mouth slightly.
At the end of the video, there is a white light that drowns everything.
"This is an image from a few hours ago."
The vampire leader's voice was low, "A few hours ago, this cyan dragon flew around Fugaku, killing a large number of vampire elites and causing a lot of damage."
Fugaku was originally a place where the vampire nobles of this era were entrenched. It is undeniable that there are indeed many unpromising guys among their descendants, but in each generation, there are still one or two who can become talents, let alone them The ancestors and elders all have powerful power.
However, according to the story of the leader of the blood clan, this blue dragon caused the vampires in the entire Fugaku area to fall into a bitter battle.
The magnetic field was disturbed and communications were cut off. Even the vampire nobles who fled to human settlements were accurately identified. Lightning fell from the sky, turning the enviable immortal bodies of vampires into ashes.
The eight-fingered general said in shock: "That's why the teacher is sure that the information about the Kanto region is true. This dragon is not an illusion. Is it the dragon-shaped technological creation mentioned in the information?"
"No. This dragon is different from those dragon-shaped mechanisms in the Kanto region."
The leader of the vampire clan had a heavy expression on his face and opened the folding fan in his hand.
The fan appears to be a straw rope, less than a foot long. If you look closely, it seems that it is not as simple as a rope, but some kind of handicraft woven with fine grass.
"The monster that was more than two thousand meters long and put us into a difficult battle required the lives of thousands of vampire ninjas. All of them carried explosives and smashed them into pieces one after another before blowing it up..."
Even this legend among vampires
The old man's tone became harsh.
"The last thing that fell into our hands was this one, a grass dragon."
Weave grass into a dragon and kill all ghosts!
Everyone in the conference room was a little speechless.
The Restoration was indeed a good thing for the country and the people, but since the Restoration, several major wars have tasted the benefits, and a fanatical atmosphere has been cultivated in the entire Eastern Empire's army.
Their ambitions are growing day by day, and they have begun to formulate plans to launch another war within a few years and completely devour a behemoth.
The target is that ancient country that even after years of war and famine, the total population can still be equivalent to six or seven times the population of the entire East.
War, massacre, and terror-suppressive rule are promising in their minds. That weak country, under the rule of the previous dynasty, has already had numbness and cowardice engraved into its bones. It cannot be easily eliminated by overthrowing a dynasty. .
As long as they feel greater failure and greater fear, these Japanese officers are even sure that within one generation, the remaining people on that vast land will become the property of the empire, like pigs and sheep being herded.
[In view of the general environment,
However, now, the Kanto region, which is crucial to their strategy, was lost without warning.
The mysterious power suspected to come from that area, using only a handicraft woven from fine grass, killed the ancient nobleman who was feared and even awed by the emperor's officials.
These tough and fanatical officers all felt the huge gap. Some of the older men had been engaged in aggression all their lives to accumulate bloody capital for themselves. Now they could not stand firmly and fell back on their chairs. , holding his chest and panting violently.
When the chair legs move, they rub against the ground and make a squeaking sound.
This voice suddenly woke up the eight-fingered general.
"No matter what..."
He calmed down and said loudly, "Even this kind of monster can still be destroyed by explosives, right?"
"This is enough to show that the empire's army, machine guns and artillery, still have enough strength to protect our position."
The old leader of the vampire clan agreed: "That's right. It's not even just about protecting our status."
The old man closed the folding fan, pressed the fine grass between the folded fans, and held it heavily with his hands, as if to give everyone confidence.
"This grass dragon actually has a letter of war hidden inside. The supreme leader of the mysterious army in the Kanto region, Gongsun, who calls himself Dragon, is coming to challenge His Majesty the Emperor."
The emperor he spoke of was naturally not the easily replaceable emperors of humans, but the emperor of the blood clan, Xu Fu, who had been in charge of supreme power for more than two thousand years.
The eight-fingered general said in surprise: "Then we..."
"Only Your Majesty can decide when His Majesty the Emperor wants to wake up."
The old commander interrupted him and glanced at everyone in the room. All the imperial officers felt the awe-inspiring aura.
"But this is indeed the best opportunity."
The old man continued, "I will invite the sleeping strong men of the Vampire Clan, and all the ancestors of the Bai family's nobles will also appear."
"The biggest trump card is all the ghost ninjas who have accumulated bloodthirsty through the ages and have been sealed in sleep."
The eight-fingered general understood: "We will also mobilize the best soldiers and the most sophisticated equipment to ensure that they are all warriors who have experienced combat and are accustomed to bloodshed. The air force will also be ready."
After the two of them talked, the imperial officers gradually became excited again.
"That's right. Since he calls himself a dragon, this spell should be the one he is best at. Even the one he is best at can be destroyed by explosives..."
"As long as we kill this supreme leader, it will be a huge blow to that mysterious army. It may even be our direct attack on that mysterious army.
The clarion call for total victory! "
"Kill! We must kill him. After killing him, Kanto will return to our hands!"
"That's our Kanto. We had already planned to raise a puppet emperor there this year..."
Someone suddenly became excited, waved his arms and shouted, "Gentlemen, why do you simply aim to kill?"
"If we can capture him alive after defeating him, then might that mysterious army also become our strength? At least we might be able to obtain their technologies."
Everyone was talking a lot, and it seemed that not only had their confidence been restored, but they were also able to make longer-term plans for the new situation.
The old leader of the vampire clan looked satisfied and clapped his hands.
"Then, without further ado, let's take action!"
In ten days, the entire Eastern Empire completed the mobilization of their forces in their heartland.
The powerful Eastern vampires also gathered at the place where the battle was scheduled.
From the city to the mountains, it seems that the entire land here is predetermined by the smell of blood, and will soon be contaminated with more gunpowder smoke.
Those ancient vampires, while angry, also had a vague expectation.
They are looking forward to the arrival of a strong person, starting a brilliant battle worth remembering, with the situation of victory and defeat constantly tilting back and forth.
Only after such a battle and victory, they will feel more delicious when drinking blood.
And somewhere they can't see.
Gongsun Sheng, who was patrolling from Guandong to the Qilu area, also felt that the time was up, so he took out a machine beast that was shrunk by the Ruyi Storage Method from his sleeve.
In fact, during the many years of peace in the Han Dynasty, only a small part of the machine beasts developed and researched were purely military.
The real bulk in terms of quantity is all agricultural and commercial products.
The batch of machine beasts that Gongsun Sheng and Luda brought to this world were all commercial machine beasts that were backlogged in the warehouse and could not be sold for the time being.
"Gen Niu" is used to clear large areas of land and has the ability to transport large-scale long distances. "Ci Dao", which looks like a giant pangolin, is used to assist in the construction of mountain tunnels and has the function of detecting minerals. .
The other two categories involve higher knowledge of rune mechanisms.
"Qingqiu" has functions such as regulating waterways, irrigating farmland, diversion of water from south to north, generating electricity and fertilizing, etc. "Zhuyan" is used for maritime navigation, escort, etc.
Gongsun Sheng had already retired two years ago. Sometimes he was too lazy to cast spells to fly, and he didn't buy anything too high-end. He just used the "Zhu Yan" to travel, and it was an old version without a husband's seat or a tourist seat on the back.
He threw the machine beast into the air, and it immediately returned to its original size and spread its wings.
When the red bird soared into the sky, many people around him noticed it. They all exclaimed and looked up, recalling the events they had recently heard about in Kanto and other places.
However, Zhuniao was not slow at all, and soon completely disappeared from the sight of these people.
By the time the Eastern Land was in sight, Gongsun Sheng could already feel the auras gathering at the place of battle.
"Hey, although there are no truly great masters, there are actually so many people in the next level."
Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but marveled, "Is this the foundation accumulated through long life? In this world, it is too easy to live forever. Although it is a monster, it is not impossible to study it in the future."
He had already had a premonition that even with his current cultivation level and no lack of magic weapons, if he went down to fight, he might actually encounter some danger.
Gongsun Sheng couldn't help laughing, and then... took out a scroll of portraits from his sleeve.
Just kidding, I'm a poor Taoist, and I'm not Zhao Zilong. How can I have time to play battle with you?
The reason why Ruda was not allowed to come was because he knew that with his temperament, he would definitely want to fight against ten thousand troops by himself. Although it was not impossible, it was still a waste of time after all.
Gongsun Sheng threw the scroll of pictures forward, saluted with one hand, and said with a smile: "Please take action, big boss!"
The scroll stopped in the air and unfolded on its own, showing a figure with a star crown in feathers and his eyes lowered, reading the Book of Changes quietly.
The man in the painting raises his head, rolls up the Book of Changes in his left hand, and reaches forward with his right hand.
The palm actually extends beyond the paper and becomes three-dimensional.
"Well, the two qi of water and fire are quite abundant. But if you use the two forms of water and fire in Guangcheng Yi Jing, it will be a matter of complete annihilation."
"Well, let's add a little more compassion."
………………
The leader of the vampire clan was sitting in meditation at the place where the battle was scheduled, trying to restore his condition to the highest level.
He once claimed to be a ghost who could "kill Buddha". In this battle, he will also occupy a pivotal position.
But for some reason, a shadow suddenly passed over his mind, and there was some noise around him. When he looked up, he saw many people looking in the direction of Fugaku.
Fugaku is a volcano. This sacred mountain seems to have erupted now, emitting the red light of spring, but strangely, there is no vibration or thick smoke that a volcanic eruption should have.
It was just pure red light that flew up from the volcano and dyed the sky red.
The red light hovered slightly, shining on everyone's faces and all the vampires wearing sun protection equipment.
It was strange that there was no feeling of the air temperature rising at all, as if the heat in the volcano had been extracted and turned into something they could not understand.
A look of horror suddenly appeared on the commander's face. In his eyes, the red light covering the entire sky should have been amorphous, pure fiery red.
Now it seems to have a faint outline.
The outline of a palm.
Before he could react...the heaven and the earth were silent, and the giant palm pressed down!
Those who deserve to die, those who deserve to live, and those who deserve to be punished all kneel down and cry!
The Dharma Seal of the Great Compassionate Tathagata, Huoyao!
After a full quarter of an hour, the giant red palm was slowly raised.
This palm has become very weak, but the moment it is raised, it still seems to exert a strong suction force.
Above the ground, tens of thousands of firearms, swords, armor, tanks, glazed earth and stone, and shipwrecks floated into the air, condensing into a monument as big as a mountain.
There are only two words engraved on the flat tablet.
Dragons and phoenixes dance like blood and fire.
"Peace"!
!
The Monument of Peace, which will be engraved in the annals of history for future generations and warn the world, was cast on this day.
