Witch Containment Log

Chapter 69 Beautiful Spirit Demon Ilini
Zhang Su continued patrolling.

The soldiers worked hard to dig trenches and build bunkers on the outermost edge of the outpost, performing their duties, but their morale seemed low.

Li Yixin was wandering nearby with a ray of light, extremely worried.

There are also some relics of human activities left here two or three years ago, such as tents, nylon ropes, empty cans and plastic bottles, left behind by the extra-wall investigation team members who were defeated and disappeared in the previous few battles.

Li Yixin put them away.

"How is it?" Zhang Su walked over.

"I heard that many of the extra-mural investigation team members who failed several times in the past were assimilated into demons. Some of the demons we are going to fight today are our former compatriots." Li Yixin said.

"Indeed." Zhang Su agreed.

If humans are exposed to demonic erosion for a long time, they will quickly go crazy and deform.

"So, everyone... seems to be very nervous." Li Yixin held an empty beef can in his hand and looked at the other soldiers' drooped shoulders and blank eyes, as if such work was also a burden.

"We are going to fight against the devil soon. How can we not be afraid? This is not an outing." Zhang Su disagreed.

People are building in full swing, but in the distant yellow sand, some demons are wandering, as if they regard human work as a joke.

The number of demons is increasing.The soldiers looked more nervous and depressed.

"I think fighting against demons is an honest job, and people should inspire enthusiasm from the bottom of their hearts when doing this kind of thing." Li Yixin put the flames aside.

She picked up the shovel and joined in the digging process, looking at everyone, "Don't you think it's honorable to fight demons?"

Some of the soldiers looked up at Li Yixin.

"They should send more robots here. Robots are more suitable for digging trenches and fighting." A soldier said.

"This is a suicidal action...I don't want to die here..."

"How can we hold a place like this when we have been abandoned?"

"There are so many demons in the erosion area..."

"Our lives don't matter..." the soldiers whispered, but still completed the work at hand.

They have become numb.Zhang Su thought.

The soldiers' suspicious words made Li Yixin's expression keep changing.

"Really?" Li Yixin was confused, "Wouldn't you feel happy about defeating demons and defending human beings?"

"Even if the devil dies, he will return from hell. What about us?"

"I didn't volunteer, damn conscription..."

"You won't be happy if you are beaten to death."

"You have the ability. You have a spear made of demon-repelling alloy. You are here to train, experience, and upgrade. What about us?"

"Stop talking, we will fight, and we will die for people like you." The soldiers said in a bad tone.

Li Yixin looked a little confused. She walked up the high slope and returned to a place slightly far away from the front line.

"Really? Are they just victims of a big plan? I don't want to think so." Li Yixin murmured.

"The cost of building the robot is 1 million yen, and the cost of training and equipment for human soldiers is 500 million yen." Zhang Su said.

"Then...will they really fight to the death?" Li Yixin was a little confused.

In the battles of the Human Defense Project, 20 humans are usually worth 1 robot.

This is still the most ideal situation. Considering the cost of research and development of robots, humans are cheaper. It is also a common practice to give up human lives to save high-value robots such as "Shenwu" and "Defender".

"The human defense plan is to compulsorily recruit troops based on the area, one army for each area. Everyone here is from Dongming, and they are all soldiers from Echigo. They have to protect their home." Zhang Su said.

Li Yixin held his breath and looked at more and more demons gathering in the distance.

She suddenly figured out something that made everything fall into place:

The Human Defense Plan does not care about human death.

Li Yixin turned to the soldiers in front.

"I really wish I was an officer now, a commander like Second Lieutenant Moritani," she said.

"If you were the commander, what would you do?" Zhang Su asked.

"I'll make a difference, I'll give them hope, I'll be the one calling the shots, I'll explain the mission, explain our purpose, share strategies... so they know exactly what they're doing and feel a sense of pride. Feel this, boost their morale, and then fight against the devil proudly together!" Li Yixin said firmly.

"They know what they are doing better than you do, and that is why they are frustrated." Zhang Su said.

"Don't I know what I'm doing?" Li Yixin held the flame in his hand.

Zhang Su saw red lines growing on the soldiers' bodies.

Li Yixin's body is entangled with the fate of gold and purple, and she will rise very high.

"It doesn't matter. Even though the number of missions is uncertain, good luck will accompany you in the future. You may actually be able to command a group of soldiers and perform the tasks you like in the future." Zhang Su said.

"I hope so. But I know that there is no distinction between liking and disliking a task." Li Yixin walked away.

Zhang Su can understand everyone's urgency.

Demons are like a sea, and it is especially difficult to defeat them.

Compared with the size of the Fire Hell, the human world is like a small floating island made of plastic that can be destroyed at any time.

The strange thing about humans is that everyone seems to try their best, but always falls short.

"The main force of the devil has discovered us." The signal soldier reported.

In fact, there is no need for scouts to report, and there is no need to have sensors working 24 hours a day.The soldiers could already observe the increasing number of demons on the horizon with their naked eyes, and the chaotic malice was heading straight towards Red Leaf Mountain.

In the temporary command post, Second Lieutenant Moritani, Zhang Su and others were discussing.

They gathered next to the same holographic map and observed the current situation seriously.

"We have explored enough intelligence, which is optimistic enough to convince our superiors to send enough troops to recover the Gate of Hell on Mount Kaguraku. But the next batch of backup will arrive in 30 hours at the earliest. During this period, we must establish a radar The beacon invites helicopters and air forces to enter the erosion area to carry out material supply and air resource operations for us." Second Lieutenant Moritani introduced the current situation.

"I still need 6 hours to set up the beacon. The sky here is no longer the sky we are familiar with. The sky above the erosion area is like a dark sky. The air force does not dare to enter rashly to avoid deviating from the route. Regardless of the satellite signal or The radio waves have been cut off, and the abnormal weather has disrupted all communication channels." Priscilla said.

"In 6 hours, we should be able to hold on. As long as we repel these demons, it means that we have full hope of establishing a stronghold outside the wall. This will be good news to inspire the entire human defense plan." Zhang Su judged.

"I'm afraid these few hours will be very difficult. Gentlemen, please try your best and keep fighting." Second Lieutenant Moriya drew a straight line from the wall of Dongzhou to Hongye Mountain. "As Zhang Sujun said, as long as you can persist for these few hours, , or even one day and one night, we can prove many things to the people of Dongming."

News of victory can promote economic prosperity, and money can be used to expand the results of the victory.

"I hope we can persevere." Another non-commissioned officer confessed, "The previous three investigation operations outside the wall ended in the annihilation of the entire army. Many soldiers regarded leaving the East Continent Wall as committing suicide."

"We have been training for so long just for this day, this day to beat the devil! There is nothing to be afraid of." A white-haired sergeant roared.

"Now we have more advanced firepower and robots, more adequate preparations, and the location we occupy is Hongye Mountain, and the planning is more thorough. The original three investigations were all intercepted during the march, and the survivors were scattered. At least this This time, we have established a firm foothold." Zhang Su said slowly.

They nodded solemnly, and what Zhang Su said was true.

Although it was very dangerous, their journey this time was indeed much smoother than the three extra-wall investigations five years ago. They had already accomplished what the three investigations had failed to accomplish!

The army at the rear is also waiting for news of exploration from the erosion zone.

If there is indeed a possibility of marching, then the mighty military force from mankind will also set off to strive for the glorious feat of sealing the gate of hell.

Zhang Su knew it well.Supplying an army requires a lot of money.

Dongming's economic strength is only enough to support a must-win war and cannot bear any risks.

If the entire army is wiped out in the fourth investigation outside the wall, it means that the enemies in the erosion area are very difficult, and Dongming Kingdom does not dare to take risks.

Therefore, all forces have actually placed their attention on this force that goes deep into the erosion zone.

Victory means that humans can continue to compete with demons!

"The non-commissioned officers from each unit, platoon, and department finally confirmed the news and then rushed to their posts to prepare to resist the demon attack and defend Hongye Mountain." Second Lieutenant Moritani waved.

Zhang Su closed his eyes and rested.

Two 10 minutes later.

A blood-curdling scream penetrated the smoke, and he stood up to investigate outside.

At this time, the demon army had already gathered and became very powerful.

A demon led the army, scanning the camp.Other demons clamored, amplifying her momentum.

"Did you see that? That female devil." Second Lieutenant Moritani stood next to Zhang Su and pointed forward.

"It's the leader of the beautiful spirit demons, the 'Innocent One' Ilini." Zhang Su identified it.

Even from a distance, her beauty is stunning.

Her skin is as shiny and fair as pearls, her black armor can barely cover her graceful curves, her lips are as bright as rubies, and her frost-white hair is braided at both ends of her head, covering a pair of eye-catching giant horns.

This demon has a charming temperament, and both humans and demons will be fascinated by her.

She landed on the ground and stepped on the sand with her feet, which seemed to be carrying high temperatures, leaving burning footprints wherever she went.

Irene is a high-level beauty spirit demon.

The beautiful demons are known for their beautiful appearance. They can secrete natural pheromones, which have an irresistible mental effect.A gentle grasp can make people feel endless enthusiasm.

She first became famous two centuries ago in the Carpathian Mountains. She appeared as a helpless black-haired girl during the day, causing people to follow her with good intentions or bad intentions.

By night, her visions fade, taking on skin wings and cruel claws, claiming dozens of lives.

King Carol II of Romania, who loved beauty, took the initiative to recruit Illini for this purpose, but was tortured by Illini's night visits until he became exhausted and sick, and eventually died suddenly.But his successors did not learn their lesson and often stayed alone late at night, waiting for Illini to visit.

Elite operator Fabrice Bruns tried to hunt Irene in the 50s, and his remains were discovered on the tenth day. His distorted face was frozen in ecstasy, and there was not a drop of liquid in his body.

After decades of silence from human records, Illini appeared in the erosion zone of the Hell Gate of Mount Kagurura, commanding a large army of demons and preparing to destroy humanity.

Illini spoke from miles away, and her voice could reach everyone's mind.

"...Lovely humans, are you recommending me to be my new pet again?" Her voice was soft and moving, and her long tongue flicked on her sharp teeth, "I smell... delicious food from you. You are all equally cute, I won’t dislike you.”

Her voice carries an unpredictable resonant energy that can make people feel calm and relieve their defenses.

Once under this influence, people tend to give up their souls in exchange for Illini's embrace.

The mentally weak soldiers suddenly behaved strangely.

They looked straight at Irene in the distance, as if they were about to throw away their steel guns and turn to the devil now.

Behind Illini, the demons stamped their feet and roared.

The Blade Demon holding a blade, the Trickster Demon preparing magic, the Blazing Demon wrapped in flames, the Disease Demon covered in sludge, the huge and ferocious Soul Splitting Demon...

They have a strange appearance, wrapped in a black tough shell, and have sharp teeth and claws.

The pieces of flesh twisted and mutated, like a mixture of man and beast.

"It's at least ten times as big as ours, which is too much." Second Lieutenant Moritani judged.

"There are only three gentle slopes in Hongye Mountain suitable for climbing. We have planned a defensive position, and then we will see if we can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy general." Zhang Su kept a close eye on Yilini.

It's time to fight!
