I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo

"The Carl Vinson and the Stennis."

"Yeah, I know."

Putting down his hand on the headset, Director Zhuya walked through the crowd and came to the small office at the end of the command room amid cheers of "victory" in the command room.

The heavily armed soldiers guarding the door immediately opened the door for him.

"Everyone, there's news from America."

In the office, the defense minister of the island country sits in the main seat.

Surrounded by the three chiefs of staff of the Self-Defense Forces Army, Navy, and Air Force, as well as several generals.

"A total of 5,000 officers and soldiers on their two aircraft carriers, the Carl Vinson and the Stennis, were killed."

hiss--

Hearing this news,

Rao was already mentally prepared, and the senior officials of the island country present felt a sense of sourness in their teeth.

"The person who took action is the 'Seinin'. She can attack from the shadows, as long as she breaks into the interior."

Regardless of whether it is an aircraft carrier or a military fortress, it is no different from a drafty thatched house: if you want to compete with the big demon who specializes in 'assassination' inside the building, it is almost impossible even for extraordinary beings of the same level.

Shadow jumping, so shameless!

"Five thousand people,"

The Minister of Defense chewed on this number.

Even for America, which has a "big family and a big business", the sudden loss of five thousand elite naval personnel is definitely a crippling injury.

"How will America respond?"

Director Zhuya calmly answered this question from the Minister of Defense.

"no respond."

Phew~~

All the senior officials in the office breathed a sigh of relief.

If America chooses to fight to the death in anger, the island country will have no choice but to bite the bullet and keep up: in that case, how many of you here will be able to see the sun tomorrow will be a big problem.

Here, they also asked for a leaf from the 'sacred tree'. Theoretically, no monsters would dare to cause trouble.

On the other hand, whoever dares to come must be a fierce monster!

"That's good, that's good."

The Minister of Defense nodded and looked at Director Zhuya.

"Later, the Chief Cabinet Secretary will come in person to commend the soldiers; the rest of the battle will be left to you and the Self-Defense Forces."

"it is my responsibility,"

Director Zhuya nodded slightly,

The sudden outbreak of the 'demon tide' will turn into a protracted tug-of-war under the conscious control of both parties.

Drink poison to quench thirst,

This word came to Director Zhuya's mind, but:

His eyes swept across the faces of the senior officials present. They all breathed a sigh of relief and showed a faint look of joy.

"Then, I'll take my leave."

When Director Zhuya left the small office, several commanders immediately came to greet him.

"Director Zhuya, why don't you take the opportunity to counterattack?"

It was clear that the demon tide had receded, and they were going to destroy the opponent in one go. But the orders they received were all to build a defense line on the spot? !

"Sorry, the extraordinary people under my command consume a lot of 'spiritual power'."

"And your Self-Defense Forces also need to regroup. This hasty battle has exposed a lot of problems: personnel quality, insufficient ammunition, lack of cooperation, etc."

After casually giving the other party a few perfunctory words, and finally ending with "Looking for your superiors' reaction," Director Zhuya walked towards a person covered in amber liquid.

"Yihua, how do you feel?"

"It sucks,"

Iori Kakka, who went to the front line in person, just returned here and didn't even have time to clean up.

"Director, gather all extraordinary beings, we should prepare for counterattack——"

"There is no counterattack."

Raising his hand to interrupt Iori Ichika's words, Director Zhuya glanced at the celebrating crowd and waved to his right-hand man.

"follow me."

————

"What?"

"America lost two aircraft carriers?!"

"To be precise, all the officers and soldiers on the two aircraft carriers: the Carl Vinson and the Stennis were unscathed."

Arriving at the rooftop of the command room, after listening to Director Zhuya's words, Yiori Ichika frowned in thought, then suddenly realized, and finally stopped talking.

"Director, I hope I'm wrong."

"Are we going to start a 'tug of war' with these demons next?"

"Yes,"

"You guys——"

Iori Ichika pointed at his immediate boss and wanted to say something, but in the end he put down his hand helplessly.

"How could this be?"

"Yihua, this is the result of cabinet deliberations."

Director Zhuya pushed up his flat-light glasses and explained patiently.

"Indeed, if we launch a siege now, it is not impossible to annihilate all the monsters with the reserved thermobaric bombs."

"But what happens after that?"

After that, of course, he faced the furious blood hakama and the sea ninja controlled by him!

The sea ninja can kill the officers and soldiers of two aircraft carriers, and can kill the headquarters of the island country and America: at that time, how effective the intimidation of the Inari god "Gouchitsu" will be depends entirely on that god. mood.

Maybe Inari God will take action, maybe he doesn't care at all.

But no matter what the situation is, on this battlefield, the top leaders of the island country and America are definitely doomed.

"so what?"

Iori Ichika opened his eyes and asked,

"Just let the situation drag on like this. Don't forget that the purpose of that bloody hakama is-"

"Collect souls, and the souls of the strong."

Director Zhuya put his hands behind his back and interrupted Yiori Ichika.

"I know, we all know."

The ultimate goal of Xue Hakama is to resurrect the legendary Tamamo Mae.

Judging from his performance along the way, it was nothing more than collecting killing stones and collecting souls!

Even if he uses the 'Killing Stone' to create a new transcendent, the purpose is just to 'raise the Gu', and the soul will still return to his hands in the end - at least this is what the experts from the island country's government think.

Xuehakama used to collect souls 'sneakly', but now it seems that he is no longer satisfied with such an 'inefficient' mode.

He made it clear that he wanted humans to send their ‘souls’ to him: still ‘high-quality’ souls.

"The next Wakayama battlefield is a deal,"

In the face of his capable men, Director Zhuya simply spoke frankly.

"We send out soldiers, and the other side sends out demons."

The government harvests the demon to make extraordinary potions, and the blood hakama obtains the souls of soldiers for the great cause of resurrection.

Win-win!

No, with America, it’s a win-win-win.

Therefore, the island country will not launch any 'counterattack' at all.

"Director, I thought you were a human being."

It turns out they are all from the same species!

Yiori Ichika's words made Director Zhuya's forehead throb with veins.

"Why do you think America is so active in helping us?"

"Why do you think America didn't respond at all after losing five thousand people?!"

"What they want is the Bi Yao that can be used as the 'raw material' for the potion! Whoever dares to propose destroying the Bi Yao at this time, America will destroy him first!"

Director Zhuya, who was furious, pulled off his glasses and asked sternly:

"I'm not a human? Okay-"

"Yihua, tell me what to do?!"

"Now go to the cabinet and prime minister to propose a major counterattack: risk heavy losses and completely eliminate the demon?"

Not to mention whether he can do it or not, he, the 'Director of the Metropolitan Police Department' and the boss of the 'Extraordinary Countermeasures Section', has just done it.

The only outcome is to masturbate to the end, and you might even be charged with 'treason'.

"Let's talk about counterattack, how to counterattack?"

"Without America's support, we can only rely on our civil servants of less than 200,000 people?"

Not to mention how much combat power the Self-Defense Forces have, the various technological equipment and command systems of the Self-Defense Forces are almost all "foreign goods". A mere thought from America can make them surrender without fighting.

"Or is it that you, Ichika Iori, can enter Mount Koya and take the heads of the 'blood hakama' among the tens of millions of monsters?"

Facing a series of questions from his angry boss, Yori Ichika smiled awkwardly and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Calm down, calm down, Director."

"Don't get excited. I just said it casually: You are a good person, okay?"

"Remember, this is the Cabinet and America's decision."

"If the blood monster wants a full-scale war, when the monster is created, it only needs to rush towards Osaka at full speed, and the casualties must exceed one million."

However, doing so may cause dissatisfaction and interference from the Inari God. The think tank analyzed that before Tamamo-mae was resurrected, Blood Hakama would not massacre civilians: the demons under his command deliberately dispersed throughout Wakayama, clearly giving the island government 'reaction time'.

After America tentatively attacked the outside and suffered a "retaliatory counterattack", everyone felt confident.

Besiege rather than attack, and maintain a low-intensity war.

There is no need to communicate, they are all 'smart people', and the tacit exchanges have already figured out the other party's bottom line and needs.

"Even if what you say makes sense, soldiers."

Having become a victim of the war, Iori Kazuka couldn't help but feel helpless.

I just want to be a 'normal' policeman, so why do I get involved in these dirty fights? !

"This is war,"

Director Zhuya put her glasses back on.

"However, we are not just passively defending: during this period, all military factories will be operating at full speed, and the recruitment of new Self-Defense Forces members has begun; the extraordinary potions produced will also be given priority to warriors with 'military merit'. "

"You should also seize the time to exercise. Is the development of us humans better, or..."

The blood hakama’s ‘resurrection progress’ is faster, so it all depends on their abilities!

This battlefield is the channel for both sides to improve.

Dangerous, bloody, dirty and cruel.

"Hey, that's all it can do."

Iori Ichika sighed. In the face of such a 'general trend', she, like ordinary people, was almost powerless.

Only those with 'ghost level' strength can influence the direction of the situation!

It was almost impossible for her who had just reached 'Wolf Level'.

Dog, wolf, tiger, ghost, dragon, god

The strength is far from enough!

A few days later,

Tokyo, Adachi Ward.

Honami High School, lunch break,

Students who usually like to wander around gather in the classroom in twos and threes, either worried or chatting happily.

"Is there any update on the battle situation in Wakayama?"

"Well, I heard that the cleanup near Gojo City has been completed. I hope it will be completed soon."

"How can it be that easy? I heard that both America's aircraft carriers have withdrawn from the combined fleet. I'm afraid the war situation is unfavorable."

These are serious analyzes of the battle situation, although their "serious analysis" all comes from official propaganda, "from one victory to another victory", which means that the defense line has not advanced much or, in other words, there is no "advance" at all.

Most of Waka Prefecture has been sealed off and turned into a "war zone". Although the Self-Defense Forces continue to report "victory", it is not difficult to see from the large number of fortifications that have begun to be built that they are completely defensive.

And some are:

"Look at this—"

"The head of the Yagyu family received the extraordinary potion because of his meritorious service in killing the enemy!"

The other students who were scrolling through their mobile phones were concerned about another aspect.

In addition to the victory of the Self-Defense Forces, there are also a large number of "meritorious" personnel who have been rewarded with extraordinary potions and become extraordinary people: such as the one they are paying attention to, the head of the Yagyu family, Yagyu Harashige!

On the screen of the mobile phone was a tall man wearing a blue samurai uniform. He was in his middle age and looked to be between thirty-seven and forty-seven.

I saw him holding a samurai sword, facing wild boars and brown bears alone!

The wild boar looks like it weighs at least three hundred kilograms, and its bristles are as messy as needles; the brown bear is like a minivan, growling and roaring constantly.

The next second, the two beasts reached some kind of 'consensus'; they were the first to charge towards the 'terrible two-legged beast'!

Facing two beasts weighing hundreds of kilograms, the man in samurai uniform rushed towards them. Just when the three were about to collide, his figure suddenly accelerated.

The three of them passed each other. Yagyu Harashige had already made a slashing stance with his sword, and behind him:

They were two ferocious beasts that fell to the ground!

Blood spread on the floor, proving that they had lost their lives.

"So handsome!"

"One sword cuts down a wild boar and brown bear at the same time. It is also easy to kill a demon!"

"Don't make any noise, there will be a slow-motion camera soon——"

As the video continued to play, the battle process was slowed down ten times. The middle-aged warrior first made a mistake and slashed the brown bear's neck with his long knife. Then he turned the knife and picked up the wild boar. neck.

Then he dodged sideways and passed between the two.

In slow motion, the blood on the necks of the two beasts splashed out left and right, like a pair of wings.

"It's the Shinin-ryu Secret Tradition 'Tengu Chao'!"

Some boys got excited and clasped their hands.

"If only I had extraordinary powers"

The boy's face turned red as he fantasized about slaughtering extraordinary chickens and reaching the pinnacle of his life.

"Come on, the head of the Yagyu family dared to go to the battlefield to kill monsters before he had extraordinary power. If you have the ability, why don't you do it?"

Someone next to him couldn't help but interrupt his sweet dream, but the boy was not discouraged because:

"Although I can't kill an enemy with a knife, who can't pull a trigger?"

"Are you planning to graduate from high school?"

"Yes, enter the Self-Defense Forces!"

The boy clenched his fists with enthusiasm on his face.

In these 'troubled times', it is the time for men to make contributions: by accumulating military merit, you can obtain extraordinary potions and become an extraordinary person!

When the time comes, won’t it be easy to eat and drink?

This gesture made Yuu, who was leaning in the back row, glance at him slightly.

Boy, why don't you first inquire about the casualties of the Self-Defense Forces. However, the current Self-Defense Forces are not short of troops.
