Section 154

The knights gathered at the riverside and advanced towards the first line of defense in an orderly manner.

Amanosaki, Li Junzi, Busujima Saeko and the other strongest knights in the fleet were walking closest to Oe, slightly away from the main force. Their small team was responsible for facing possible threats.

The king fish washed ashore, or some other evil heretic.

Lin Shuyu strongly hopes to be with Amanosaki and enjoy the same honor as Busujima Saeko - the honor of being on the battlefield with her lover.

But Amanozaki refused.

Following him, Busujima Saeko wore light ceramic armor that covered his whole body, and had three ceramic Tang swords inserted into his body. Because of Jingdezhen, most of the knight's weapons here were mixed with some bone extracts from evil heretics, even if they were ordinary. If a person holds it in his hand, it can also cause certain damage to ordinary evil spirits.

The Tang sword is the ancestor of the Japanese samurai sword. The Hongdu branch did not have a samurai sword, so Busushima Saeko chose this weapon.

The purpose of these things is to protect her from attacks by ordinary strange fish. If the situation becomes complicated, Amanozaki will sacrifice his popularity and replace him with another strong personality.

This is why Busujima Saeko can follow the team.

As for Lin Shuyu himself, he was escorted by the army to a safer mountain and went to the headquarters on the cliff to help. Before leaving, Lin Shuyu only said to keep in touch and share all instructions with her to prevent being sent as cannon fodder.

The road to the first line of defense is not easy. There are obstacles on the road, and there are high-looking equipment everywhere. Under the protection of barbed wire and guard towers, they are aimed downstream.

An artillery attack position composed of unmanned turrets.

These turrets pointed coldly at the center of the river, standing calmly in the heavy rain that was so dense that it almost wiped away the humus layer on the shore and made the river water turbid.

It's like human rational thinking, but everyone knows that under these cold rationalities, there is bound to bursting anger.

Amanosaki looked at these military equipment. He only knew that these turrets were controlled by remote gunners, replacing manual labor with expensive intelligent equipment. In the distance, soldiers with machine guns were waiting.

After crossing the curved convex bank of the river, everyone stopped for a moment.

An explosion, a complete explosion, like a New Year, with flashing lights blooming like flowers on the river.

That's all the Wudang Knight's firepower, cleaning up the four-clawed fish trying to bite the reinforced fiberglass.

Under the searchlight, in the turbid river water hundreds of meters away, only large areas of iron blue and twisted and rolling lines can be seen here.

There were also exploding pieces of flesh and blood.

The strong smell of gunpowder masked the blood, making everyone breathless.

Further away, the area was completely submerged in the explosion of water, and only yellowish smoke could be seen.

You can vaguely see countless swollen bright yellow flashes in the river, like the Dragon King partying all night in the Crystal Palace, noisy and psychedelic.

On the cliffs and mountains further away from the shore, large artillery positions in safe positions were firing at an angle.

The drone took off despite the bad weather, quickly passed over the river, dropped its bomb, and then flew to the temporary landing pad on the other side.

A man's whole body was covered with dust and black smoke, his tough face was a mess, and no trace of flesh color could be seen.

"Is that Mr. Amanosaki in the back?!"

The visitor shouted in a surprised voice.

"Yes!" Amanozaki responded loudly, "What's going on now?"

The people on the other ship asked in a roaring voice: "With an artillery attack of this scale, what do we little knights do for us?!"

The explosion at the scene was too loud, and he could only use this method to transmit the sound.

And as time went by, the explosions became louder and louder, and everyone discovered that the river water, which was covered by dark clouds and turned black, showed crazy twists and turns in the hazy rain curtain.

That was a sign that a large number of four-clawed fish were crowding in front of the blockade and some were squeezed out of the water.

Everyone realized that the enemy was getting more and more crazy.

The automatic turrets on the shore were activated from dormancy, and the soldiers began to urge the team to leave their defense area.

After the automatic turret is activated, no one can be left on the riverside. Anyone approaching the turret will be regarded as an evil heretic.

In fact, had it not been for the strong wind that was partially blocked by the bushes on the shore, this team would not have been able to stand here safely. They would even have to bend their backs to march on the slippery and muddy mountain road.

The impact of typhoon weather is widespread. Even if it has not yet reached Hongdu, a mature tropical cyclone still has the ability to affect land hundreds of kilometers away.

"Not here!" The knight walked in, and everyone saw clearly that this knight was actually wearing white clothes, and he himself was a knight from Wudang Branch.

The Wu-Tang helmsman panted and wiped his face, lifted his clothes to fan himself, and Amanozaki noticed that the inside of his robe was full of special pen pockets...or missile pockets.

But now the equipment is all used up.

"We can hold on here. The government has mobilized a lot of fire support and the army is in place. But fighting here all the time is not an option."

The knight fell to the ground without any image and gasped, "With all the smoke in this damn day, I feel like my lungs are going to be black after one night."

After he said this, he saw everyone looking at him with sullen faces and saying nothing.

"Okay, okay, I shouldn't be joking." He spread his hands, "The Hongdu branch and the higher-ups hope that the defense line can be pushed further forward. It will be difficult for the five lines of defense to face the coming storm."

"Are we going to push? Are the people above crazy?" someone asked dissatisfiedly.

This time is different from the past. In the past, the battles were mainly based on knights, and special warfare can give full play to the abilities of knights.

But this intensive bombing, which concentrated excessive artillery in a relatively narrow river, frightened everyone.

"Let the knights form a commando team and stop at multiple points in the tributaries to mislead the strange fish into the tributaries and reduce the pressure on the main trunk."

That's exactly what the plan sounds like.

Time was precious, so everyone hurried on after asking about the specific handover location.

Amanozaki walked at the front of the team, frowning imperceptibly. He felt a little strange. It seems that the operation of myself and this team is not quite right.

But fighting emergencies is like putting out fires. On average, everyone is responsible for the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people. In a hurry, even if there are doubts, there is no time to think carefully.

After walking hurriedly for more than 20 minutes in the heavy rain, the group finally arrived at the point where the first tributary merged into the river.

However, there are knights here who have been diverting fish disasters for a long time.

Amanozaki looked carefully and saw that the figure in the center of the huge fire ball hanging on the river was exactly the same as the [Yehuo Bhikshuni] who fought against Guishuiyin at [Sanjiang Hall], but compared to the bald little lolita, this nun Looks older.

He looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long eyebrows and long eyebrows. He is holding a demon-conquering pestle and has a flaming lotus on his body. There is also a charming woman among the majestic figures.

Behind her, dozens of heavy-duty armed helicopters were stabilized in the wind by their own weight, tilting towards the river. The artillery positions on the cliffs opened fire, and the shells pierced the black curtain, like meteors streaking across the sky.

Chapter 182: The Emperor of the Sun Palace

Hundreds of people stood neatly on the river bank, with a well-trained rigor in their every move. It was hard not to attract attention.

So immediately a knight threw a bag of seeds from a distance. As Amanozaki and others watched, as soon as the bag hit the ground, countless roots sprouted, and dozens of soft stems sucked up the seeds in the soil. Moisture, standing upright and twisted into a mouth.

"Which department do you belong to, and why are you running around on the battlefield?"

Everyone looked at Amanozaki and saw that Amanozaki was hesitant to speak. Immediately there was a knight with several huge tattoos on his body and the same patterns as the original tattoos on his knight uniform. He cupped his fists:

"I am Zeng Aman, the captain of the Four-clawed Fish Crusade Team of the Qianmiao Branch. All around me are my colleagues in the expedition team. Near the defense line, we met the knights of the Wudang Branch. He informed the government of the combat policy and asked us to move forward. Come support and share the pressure.”

The voice hesitated for a few seconds, and then said happily: "I'm going to ask [Emperor Sun Palace] for instructions. Please don't move around. Automatic turrets don't have eyes!"

Ten seconds later, the artificial sun hanging in the sky went out. It was only then that Amanozaki discovered that a spherical hole appeared in the sky, surrounded by water vapor evaporated by the high temperature, wrapping around the mountainside like fog.

‘Is that hollow the flame range where her superpower manifests? ’ Busujima Saeko raised her head, with doubts in her eyes, “I remember that the flames of [Karma Bhikshuni] can burn steel. This person is very similar to that legal loli, both in terms of his powers and his appearance...”

Amanozaki nodded solemnly and responded secretly: "There should be a kinship, but this one's level is indeed much higher. She trapped all the high temperature of the flame in the ball. We are less than a hundred meters away, but we don't feel any heat at all." No. ’

Amanosaki didn't know the name of Emperor Hinomiya very well, but Saeko Busushima knew it.

This is due to her current status as a daughter of a famous Japanese family.

As we all know, there are two major sects popular in Japan, the local Shintoism and the imported Buddhism. Among them, Buddhism was so prosperous that it even sealed the territory in the early and middle periods of the Warring States Period in Japan and became the real master of local power. There is even a weird religion like the Ichigo Sect that can mobilize followers to expel daimyo.

Therefore, with the knowledge of Busujima Saeko, Amanozaki knew that the chivalrous name of this young nun refers to the twenty-four heavens of Buddhism.

Among them, the Emperor of the Sun Palace is the god who lives in the Sun Palace. He is the god of fire in the mythology of the Maurya Dynasty, and is transliterated as Surya.

Yes, that is the name of the father of Little Sun Karna in "FATE/EXTRA". In China, the Sun Palace Emperor is also known as the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva. He is the representative of the authority of fire in the twenty-four heavens and has a religious status. Very high.

Amanozaki was not interested in knowing exactly which twenty-four heavens there were, but through Busujima Saeko, he learned that he had already been in contact with the twenty-four heavens.

The "Wei Tuotian" in the anime name of the 2021 drama "Wei Tuotian of the Stable Era" is one of the twenty-four heavens.

While the two were communicating, a young woman named [Emperor of the Sun Palace], wearing a simple robe, descended on cloud-like flames.

She was born to be a symbol, even if she shaved her head and wore a monk's hat, men couldn't take their eyes away from her.

"Are you Amanozaki?" The nun chuckled at Amanozaki, bowed her head slightly, and said in a grateful tone, "I would like to thank you for your help with my sister's matter."

It turns out they are sisters, but they are somewhat similar to the sisters Tatsumaki Fubuki from "One Punch Man", except that this girl's figure is not as good as Fubuki's, but her temperament is even better.

Unexpectedly, when she raised her head, the gentle expression on her face disappeared, leaving only seriousness: "You said that you have received the task of diverting the four-clawed scale fish, do you have any official instructions from above?"

Amanozaki's face darkened, Busujima Saeko said "Ah!" and slapped his forehead in annoyance.

Zeng Aman shook his head: "None of them, but the action order comes from the headquarters. The Wudang Knights will not lie to us for credit, right? As for disguise, it is even more impossible. We were on the battlefield at the time, and the evil heretics came in the first time, will be discovered!"

'Okay, then let me ask again, have you checked with the commander of your position? ? 'The Emperor Sun Palace's voice became more and more serious.

"This... it doesn't happen." Zeng Aman's voice was much softer and he lacked confidence.

However, a knight in the crowd said: "We received news at that time that the four-clawed fish in the river were rioting. The army was busy suppressing it. Let us leave quickly. We don't have time at all!"

The Emperor of the Sun Palace looked up to the sky and sighed, "You have been deceived!"

"This battle plan was designated by the chief helmsman. There is indeed a plan to divert the strange fish, but this is a national event. Each tributary has two helmsman-level knights leading the execution. How can I embarrass you and ask you to take on such a difficult task? What about the matter?”

Amanozaki turned around and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, look at your headphones. Does anyone have any that can still be used?"

Only then did everyone realize that their headphones had stopped working at some point.

This is military equipment. Even if it is soaked in water, it will be fine. Even if it is damaged, it is impossible for hundreds of people to shut down their equipment collectively.

It wasn't until the Emperor of the Sun Palace pointed out the trick that Amanozaki suddenly remembered that before they parted, Lin Shuyu had said to keep in touch and share instructions, and she would help spread the news. But after the team walked for so long, there was no sound in the headphones. Neither he nor anyone else asked to confirm the order from above.

It's like everyone has forgotten about it.

Seeing everyone looking uncertain, some of them with annoyed faces, Busujima Saeko cupped her fists at the hanging young nun:

"My hero, I kept feeling something was wrong on the way here, but every time I think about it, other distracting thoughts will appear in my heart to disturb my thoughts, as if I am possessed by an evil spirit."

As soon as this was said, everyone nodded.

"Yes! Now that I think about it, I had two thoughts on the way, and then I started to have a need to urinate, and I wanted to solve it here quickly."

"Damn! Is this really a heretic!?"

Zeng Aman suddenly changed his color: "The guy's face is covered with dust, and his appearance cannot be seen clearly, but he is clearly humanoid, so he must be a heretic. He is wearing the clothes of some unknown knight, and he can even deceive us into the artillery position... He deceived us. If we come here, there will be no support where we should be!"
