Witch containment diary

After one hour.

Jiangqu searched for the remains of the battlefield in the area of ​​​​Junyan Shuxin, and wanted to know what the final battle between the armored man and Ivy was like.

I really want to have a hard time with the most powerful strongman! Jiangqu thought. She insisted on following the pace of the mysterious hero and could not keep up with the progress of the large army.

Zhang Su and Katie in dragon form came to find her.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Su was curious.

"There was a war here before, and I want to find out what happened!" Jiangqu walked on the scorched battlefield.

Now only thick ash remains for several kilometers.

"They are all burned trees, just like the paleontological carbon deposits dug up when excavating the mountain." Zhang Su looked around.

He saw the last wisp of smoke rising slowly from the bones of the earth and gradually disappearing under the illumination of the wounded sun.

Zhang Su looked up and waited. That sun belongs to the "Flame Bottle Seven" in the space behind the gate of hell, and the golden seal is bound to it like a shroud.

"There's nothing left, and it's useless for you to look for it." Kati said to Jiangqu.

She spat out the chewed winged demons in her mouth. On the way here, Katie attacked the lone demons like chasing birds.

Her demon dragon form fully bloomed, pressing on Zhang Su's head, her dark yellow eyes narrowed, examining the empty space that was completely blown away.

"Isn't this very concerning? Now there is a particularly powerful and strange guy." Jiangqu turned around fiercely, and the wings behind him shook off and burned into pieces.

The giant sword Levantine sliced ​​through the air, dragging through the heat waves in the sky, casting a twisted and dancing shadow on the ground.

Katie's eyes were fixed on the sword, making no secret of her greed.

She also wants a flaming sword that can fly on its own. Zhang Su thought. How can I get some good equipment for Katie?

"Powerful and strange?" Zhang Su asked.

"It's the rumor about the man in armor. He's as dark as the night, as fast as thunder, and ten times as fast as a mortal. I haven't seen him either, so I don't know what he looks like or what he fights with. Akasawa Yoshiyo has seen him, but his description is very vague. . I followed all the way here and only saw a wasteland, which means that he single-handedly eliminated the witch Ivy and completely eliminated the Hell Demon Tree that troubled us the most. Where did we get such a powerful combat power?" Jiangqu The tone is incredible.

"Tell me more about your guesses about him." Zhang Su was curious.

"Why do I have to tell you so much? Anyway, I will definitely figure out who the other party is, and then fight with him and defeat him!" Jiangqu's tone was irritable, and his voice was like thunder.

"But you have to have some peace of mind. If you rush forward all at once, and the opponent's combat power is far superior to yours, not only will you be defeated, but the 'Lewontin' may also fall into the hands of others," Zhang Su said.

"Are you saying that I am humiliating myself? Humph." Jiangqu turned to look at the ashes-covered earth, "...but it makes sense. I heard a very loud explosion, and the earthquake lasted for nearly three minutes. The original The blasting power is at least equivalent to several thousand tons of explosives, but that guy was able to withstand it, which is at least the defense power of the Witch who broke the throne three to four times."

"It shows that he is a very powerful person." Zhang Su said.

"Of course, I guess he must be a strong, impulsive, and arbitrary guy." Jiangqu looked at the dust on the ground and fell into thought, "..."

Zhang Su wanted to take Jiangqu back to rest, but thinking that Jiangqu was a path to chaos, he often did the opposite. This had often caused conflicts with her in her previous life, but she couldn't make the same mistake again now.

"Then let's continue searching here and dig out clues about the other party." Zhang Su suggested.

"What? Wasting time here? The entire front line is waiting to welcome me and Lewondine to help in the battle. We must not stop here!" Jiangqu seemed to be awakened from his meditation and immediately made a conclusion.

"Then we don't have to cherish the physical strength of the soldiers. We will immediately mobilize the front lines and ask several combat brigades to advance forward and directly attack the Gate of Hell. We will execute the original attack plan." Zhang Su said.

"You guy! The people who made the plan don't understand the actual situation on the front line at all! What those small soldiers need most now is rest. Frail humans cannot withstand dozens of hours of continuous fighting. I want them to rest where they are immediately. , have a good meal, and then have a good sleep!" Jiangqu said angrily.

"Then, there should be no need for the noble angel to do this kind of thing himself. The details can be left to the staff officer." Zhang Su said.

"Nonsense, the soldiers will be more confident when they see my presence. I have to stand guard while they sleep. After all, my strength is far beyond that of mortals!" Jiangqu flapped his wings, left the burning wilderness, and rushed to the front line.

"Gah... you seem to know exactly how to deal with her!" Katie crawled beside Zhang Su.

"Let's go and have a rest. The sun never sets in this erosion area, and there is no distinction between day and night. It's easy for people to get overtired." Zhang Su stroked Katie's scales, scratched her chin, and then pinched her neck. Massage it down.

Katie was very comfortable, bobbing her head and making a series of bubble-like purring sounds.

The Hell Forest is almost completely withered as a whole, and the iron wall of vegetation that once straddled the path of human advancement no longer exists.

This good news doubled the morale of the entire army and inspired it to the extreme. The supply efficiency of logistics transportation from the rear was greatly improved.

The army arrived at the destined highland No. 109. From here, you can look up at the Gate of Hell on Mount Kaguraku. The two places are only 15 kilometers apart, and they are already within the attack range of the "Sky Spear" decisive weapon.

Correspondingly, more than 100,000 demons have been gathered by Nazmi, the leader of the demon army, to prepare for the final offensive and defensive battle of Mount Kagura.

When Zhang Su arrived at Highland No. 109, engineering machines were leveling the ground, deploying automatic forts, digging trenches, and building temporary airports.

The barracks fit together like army-green cubes of tofu, part of a modular building.

"Ah!"

"Our dragon!"

"It's amazing!" Everyone was surprised by the arrival of the magic dragon Kati.

"Hiss..." Katie exhaled a stream of sulfur-smelling smoke, found an open space and lay down, scanning the surrounding little humans with ferocious eyes.

The logistics robot scanned Katie and quickly sent out an alarm, asking the kitchen to send a hundred kilograms of raw meat to prevent her from becoming angry due to hunger.

"Recharge your batteries." Zhang Su patted Katie's nose and entered the military camp.

There was a tense atmosphere before the war, but everyone acted calmly. Zhang Su looked around.

"Supervision!" Lieutenant Colonel Moritani saw Zhang Su at a glance and rushed to greet him.

In the battle of Hongye Mountain, Moritani still held the rank of second lieutenant. With the support of Zhang Su, he has now been tested and qualified for the position of lieutenant colonel. He respects him very much and has formed a friendship with him.

"I read the briefing and the command in several battles was excellent. If we can return with a complete victory this time, you will also go down in history as a battle hero." Zhang Su and Moritani saluted.

"Being remembered in history is too heavy for me. I just hope that I can try my best to complete the campaign objectives." Lieutenant Colonel Moritani said seriously, "If we successfully pacify Mount Kagurura, I will also request to be transferred to Hokkaido until all the demons are defeated. .”

"It's admirable to have such a heart!" Zhang Su shook hands with him.

Lieutenant Colonel Moritani bid farewell to Zhang Su with confidence and continued to study the battle situation.

Dongming Kingdom's finances are only enough to sustain this one battle. Even if they can win the battle of Mount Kaguraku, they will not be able to squeeze out a penny to solve the problem of Hokkaido. Zhang Su thought.

But even a tiny bit of accumulation will help us finally solve the demonic disaster.

It's still not strong enough. There is always a feeling that it is far away. It must become particularly powerful and the efficiency of annihilating demons can be qualitatively improved. Zhang Su nodded and strengthened his willingness to train.

Zhang Su continued to walk through the military camp, wanting to see where Akasawa Yoshio was.

"Even if we have to face ten times the number of enemies in the air, fighter planes must take off and find ways to support ground targets."

"My hands would tremble when I saw a demon, but now I feel very calm. Maybe I have become a demon too."

"Sama Konakama and Akasawa Yoshie are both so powerful. I also want to become a cute and powerful witch. This b-human being really can't be a witch for a day longer."

"The prison forest has disappeared... Finally, my worries have been relieved..."

"Seeing so many bloody incidents, even retired people will have nightmares. In next year's general election, I will vote for candidates who are willing to support veterans' welfare."

The soldiers' conversations in twos and threes reached Zhang Su's ears.

We have arrived at the foot of the Gate of Hell in Mount Kagura, solved the problem of the Hell Forest, and are only one charge away from facing the decisive battle.

Now they seem extraordinarily calm, or "numb" as is common in psychological problems. Zhang Su thought.

People are numb. In other words, human psychology cannot withstand such large-scale killings. The most common situation among hundreds of thousands of years of genes is cooperative hunting. But in modern society, demonic disasters are superimposed, and people are forced to face millions, tens of millions, or even billions of hostile creatures. They also have to fight and bleed with each other, and fight with cutting-edge weapons that have never been seen before. How can people not be numb?

Only by blunting one's own nerves can one get used to the bloodshed day after day in war.

While thinking, Zhang Su looked up and saw a familiar figure standing on top of many metal boxes, shouting loudly as the soldiers walked around.

He couldn't help but smile.

"Hey! Can you call me a soldier if you are so lazy? Cheer up! Take good care of the equipment in your hand. If there is any shortage, go to the logistics department to get enough equipment. Don't be lazy!" Akazawa Yoshiyo gave orders to his subordinates.

"Ahh..."

"You cannot disobey Lord Akazawa Yoshio..."

"She also means well, right? But privately, I still think this guy is too vicious..." The soldiers were driven and worked hard on Highland 109 to adjust to the best condition possible.

"Got it!" Zhang Su shouted toward the top of the box.

Akazawa Jiayo turned around and saw Zhang Su.

Her eyes immediately changed, and an expression of surprise appeared on her face, as if she had seen something extremely happy, almost enthusiastic.

She thought of the novel experiences during the separation, which almost made her dizzy, letting her know the joy of being a witch.

The other soldiers were shocked when they saw it. They had never seen Akasawa Yoshio behave like this.

"Hey! You guy!" Akazawa Yoshie jumped over, almost following the samurai technique, and jumped onto Zhang Su. He stepped on his shoulders, took out the knife in his hand, and aimed at Zhang Su's forehead with a red face. , holding him tightly with the other hand, "Finally you are willing to come to me! Tell me, am I still willing to let you go?"

"See you again, Jia Shi..." Zhang Su sighed.

There are few swordsmen who can compete with Akazawa Yoshio in swordsmanship skills, and her magic-infused slashes are unparalleled in the world.

Her beauty is equally special, with solid muscles, samurai attire consisting mainly of lacquer armor and kendo uniforms, small feet, a short stature, and a stubborn expression.

As soon as they reunited, she dragged Zhang Su into her barracks without hesitation, and then made samurai stew to entertain him there.

A solid blue fuel burned underneath, and a pot stood above it, which soon began to boil.

"Try the delicacies from the Edo period in 1650!" Akazawa Yoshiyo said with great interest.

Zhang Su smelled the fragrance of the soup stock base, which was the scent of bonito flakes and kelp cooked slowly, with miso paste added to it.

Yoshiyo Akazawa piles it with radish, burdock root, diced lotus root, white tofu, bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and cooks it to a pulp, infusing it with vegetable flavor.

The beef and pork floating on the top are cut very thin, but thicker than the meat rolls used in hot pot. They are grilled over an open flame and then sprinkled in. This is a clever stew method that doubles the flavor.

"It's such a blessing to have something like this to eat." Zhang Suduan sat next to him, scooped up a mouthful of thick soup, blew on it gently and drank it.

The aroma of the meat and the salty aroma of the spices mixed together, forming an overwhelming deliciousness on his tongue, making him feel a warmth flowing down his throat.

"Hehe..." Akazawa Yoshio hugged his knees, smiling happily, and beat each other with his two bare feet.

Because Akasawa Yoshiyo does not have a broad mind, a good pair of feet is even more valuable. Zhang Su noticed that her feet were very slender, with distinct joints and clearly visible veins.

She usually doesn't even have footbags, so they are stained by the dust of the battlefield. It looks like she has traveled a long distance and gone through many hardships to temper these rough but very flavorful feet.

"You eat too." Zhang Su scooped up a spoonful of meat and fed it to Akazawa Yoshio. She licked the spoon clean and swallowed the food with a slurp.

They were content and enjoying their time with each other.

Zhang Su felt that the vague tension disappeared, and what followed was a strong emotion.

He and Akazawa Yoshio exchanged glances and received a confirmation signal.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Su picked up Akazawa Jiayo by the waist and carried him to the mat spread next to him.

"This should also help restore vitality and replenish morale...!"

…

…

It took a long time until the frontline military meeting started.

"Huh? Two guys who were late by chance." Jiangqu presided over the meeting and looked at Zhang Su and Akasawa Yoshio.

"I'm sorry." Zhang Su took his seat.

"Of course we have been discussing tactics to deal with demons for a long time." Akasawa Yoshiyo disagreed.

"Don't think that I don't know what you are doing. It must be fighting in private. I know you are such belligerent people!" Jiangqu said, "If you want to fight, just fight with me! I am free every day. It’s for discussion. Let’s stop talking and let’s start the Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting now!”

"Everyone, please take a look at the current battle situation on the front line:" Lieutenant Colonel Moritani began to explain the situation.
