Chapter 11: Fighting the Devil
Anko Kano was wearing a red and white shrine maiden costume, which made her stand out in the forest.
However, there were no animals or monsters around to stop her, because at this moment she was completely different from her gentle and slightly sinister image in the shrine. Her whole body exuded an ominous aura like a demon.
That is the evil spirit generated by killing. Weak creatures will tremble uncontrollably when they sense this aura.
"I really didn't notice there was a canyon here before." Anko Kano, who was a fast walker, arrived at the canyon discovered by Ren Lian Lingyi in the early morning of the second day after setting out.
When approaching the canyon, Anzi Kano restrained her aura. This aura could only intimidate weak monsters and animals, but it was a provocation to the groups of monsters.
This canyon is very secluded.
Because of the difference in sight lines on both sides of the canyon, no one would notice that there is a canyon here unless they get close to it.
There is no village or anything like that nearby, and the nearby roads are a little far away from this place, so these monsters have no chance of attacking humans at all.
This has led to the congestion of the ground veins here that has never been discovered.
Anzi Kano brushed away the leaves in front of her, and two hillilians' watchtowers and a chevaux de frise came into view. There was a hillilians' crossbowman on each watchtower, and under the watchtower there was a torchbearer named Qiu Zhilang patrolling around.
However, it was obvious that these hillbillies were all good sleepers, which made Anko Kano feel relieved.
Currently, there are two major tribes among the Qiuqiu people , namely the Sleepy Tribe and the Meat-loving Tribe.
The overall combat power of the two tribes is very different. On the individual side, the hillocks who like to eat meat are always more ferocious and more aggressive than the hillocks who like to sleep.
Moreover, the Carnivorous Tribe always hunts in groups and has some experience in warfare, making them very dangerous.
On the contrary, the Sleepy Tribe are good at breeding and gathering, and have a good relationship with slimes. The slime technology they instinctively apply makes their lives easier.
But they are far inferior to the meat-loving people in terms of fighting.
Anzi Shikano climbed to the top of the canyon. Although the sleepy hill people had placed secret sentries on the top, they were all asleep, so no one noticed the hidden Anzi Shikano.
Anko Kano observed the Hilichurls in the entire canyon from above.
As a result, she looked unhappy.
Because the tribe below is stronger than the other tribes with a Hilichurl King, and the land is really barren and cannot give birth to a Raidu King. Otherwise, even if all the shogunate troops stationed on Renlian Island came here, they might not be able to wipe out the Hilichurls here.
There are more than twenty Hilliard thugs holding wooden shields, more than thirty Hilliard thugs holding thunder axes, and the number of thugs holding fire axes is smaller, but there are still more than a dozen of them.
There are two difficult shamans with wind attribute, two with grass attribute, two with rock attribute, and the thunder attribute is the most, with four. The good news is that the most disgusting water attribute shaman is relatively rare in this tribe, with only one.
Of course, this is also closely related to the fact that there is not enough water in this canyon.
There are even more Hillic thugs, Hillic warriors and crossbowmen among them.
There are thousands of Hilichurls in the entire Hilichurl camp.
Anko Kano retreated quickly. Although she was strong, she was not strong enough to fight a thousand people alone, and her mission was just reconnaissance.
Now that we have estimated the enemy's troop strength and observed the layout of their camp, we can say that we have completed our reconnaissance mission.
"Although there is no Hilichuriki King Raido inside, the number of thugs and shamans inside is a bit exaggerated." Anko Kano has returned to the Renlian Shrine.
At this moment, he was directing Ren Lian Lingyi to control the lightning to restore the layout of the hillbilly valley.
Chevaux de frise, huts, camps, large watchtowers, small watchtowers, animal pens, orchards, wherever the mobs gather, there are shamans stationed.
"But is it true that there is no Hillock Thunder King among them? With a population of this size, I wouldn't be surprised if there are two or three Hillock Thunder Kings." Ren Lian Lingyi couldn't help but ask.
"Really not. If there was a Hilichurl King , the Hilichurls here would have been discovered long ago. After all, the strange phenomena of lightning and thunder can be spotted from a long distance." said Anko Kano.
After a while, a lower-ranking priestess came to report that the hatamoto of Tenryo Bugyo had arrived.
The hatamoto's surname was Kujo, and it was said that he was a member of the branch family of the Tenryo Bugyo Kujo family. The specific name of this hatamoto samurai was not revealed.
Renlian Lingyi felt that this person looked down on himself as a monster and Kano Anzi, the shrine maiden of Takeda, but this was normal. After all, although the shogunate was ruled by gods and the status of shrine maidens was very high, the shogunate was also ruled by the military, which could be seen from the fact that Lei Shen called himself the shogun.
After all, if Ming Shen Island wants to defend against the Dark Sea, it cannot guarantee sufficient military strength without military rule.
However, this also leads to a problem, that is, these warriors usually think that they are superior to others.
For example, the guy in front of him looks down on Ren Lian Lingyi and Kanno Anzi.
But neither of them said anything.
After explaining the specific situation and the sand table to Kujo Hatakemoto, he went to rest.
Anko Kano had just finished her reconnaissance, and Ren Lian Lingyi did not need to go to the front line.
Kujo Flagmoto led his men to prepare to fight those monsters directly.
After all the monsters are wiped out, the Kujo Flagmaster will notify the shrine to repair the earth veins.
This is also the normal process for eliminating medium to large monster camps. However, the normal process also includes the participation of priestesses in the army. These priestesses usually know some magic, which, if cast on these soldiers, will have impact on the monsters.
However, there was no shrine maiden accompanying the army on Renren Island before, so Kujo Hatakemoto naturally didn't care about the shrine maiden and just took his men away.
"Dark clouds are covering the sky, bringing disaster." Ren Lian Lingyi felt that the luck of this Nine-Stripe Flag might not be very good in the future. As for why he knew this, he didn't know, but he could subconsciously sense some of this guy's fortune.
Ren Lian Lingyi's impression of the Kujo family is limited to Kujo Jinya, a place where a Kujo samurai dies every few years.
Yingxiang Mountain, the main island of Mingshen Island and the line of Kujo Jinya are the front line against the erosion of the Dark Sea. There are not only many demons in the Dark Sea, but also many monsters that have become more powerful due to the erosion of the demons.
Therefore, there are quite a few warriors who die in battle at Kujo Jinya every year. Similarly, there are also quite a few Tengu, ghost tribe and other monsters who die in battle at Yingxiang Mountain and the Desolate Sea every year.
It’s okay for the top human original gods. Although their lives are short, they will eventually die of old age. But it’s different for the monsters. Most of them died in battle. Although their lifespans are long, it is difficult for the monster clan to increase in number. Therefore, over the past few thousand years, except for the Baichen bloodline and the Lizi bloodline, which already had a large base, all other monster bloodlines have been dying out.
Especially those monsters that belong to one clan, many of them have completely disappeared.
Well, the protagonist of this book, Ren Lian Lingyi, is also this kind of monster who belongs to one clan.
