My personal opinion on Gensokyo

boom!

Just as Mian Yue Yiji stepped into the gate of Yuque Palace, suddenly, without any warning, a huge cracking sound resounded throughout the Moon Palace, the entire Moon City, and the entire Sea of ​​Fertility.

The Moon Citizen man who was in charge of observing the military looked up in horror at the endless starry sky above his head.

The Moon City Great Barrier, which had been covering the entire Sea of ​​Plenty and protecting it for ages, was shattered by a ray of pure white light and torn apart from the center.

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 113: The First Lunar War

The so-called surprise attack tactics refer to attacking the enemy unexpectedly to quickly achieve tactical goals.

After setting out from the edge of the "Moon Sea Plain·God's Wine", the huge Hundred Demons Night Parade of the monsters on the ground, under the temporary leadership of Shang Yang, quietly left the Moon Sea Plain, and made a surprise attack of a hundred miles, crossing the crater mountains on the Moon Sea, crossing the graben separating the God's Wine Plain and the Plenty Sea Plain, and arrived at the edge of the Plenty Sea Plain. The first thing that came into the sight of all the monsters was the biggest obstacle to the surprise attack on the Moon City by Shang Yang, Gu Ming Di Jue, Yakumo Yukari, Kazami Yuuka and others - the Moon City Great Barrier covering the entire "Moon Sea Plain·Plenty Sea".

The so-called Great Barrier of the Moon City is not just a protective barrier covering the entire urban area of ​​the Moon City, but covers the entire "Moon Sea Plain·Sea of ​​Plenty" which is the "suburbs" of the Moon City. A complete city does not only refer to its partial functional areas as a city, but refers to all areas belonging to this city. Obviously, the entire Sea of ​​Plenty Plain is under the direct jurisdiction of the Moon City, and the Sea of ​​Plenty Plain is also a part of the Moon City. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with calling this defensive barrier covering the entire Sea of ​​Plenty Plain the Great Barrier of the Moon City.

The Lunar Sea Plain is a significant product of lunar crustal movement. Rather than calling it a plain on the Lunar Sea, it's more accurate to call it a basin on the Lunar Sea. Therefore, when the monsters hide on the edge of the Plenty Sea Plain, they can conveniently observe the activities on the Plenty Sea Plain from a high vantage point through the Moon City's Great Barrier.

The Moon City is located in the center of the Sea of ​​Fertility Plain. Its main urban structure is similar to that of a highly developed modern city. The Moon City is very large. In addition to the urban parts such as the high-rise buildings and streets that are mainly concentrated together, there are many smaller housing structures distributed around the main part of the city and around the road network extending from the Moon City. At the same time, there are four very obvious underground military building structures distributed around the Moon City.

Finally, along the road network extending from the Moon City are large tracts of golden wheat fields. Of course, they are not wheat fields. Although planting in space is not a difficult task, no rice species native to the Earth can grow on the lunar soil composed mainly of silica. The plants growing on the lunar sea plains and taking root in the lunar dust are a kind of crops that can take root in the lunar dust, developed by the Moon City mainly with mystical technology and some biological technology.

Even if they do not eat food, the immortal bodies of the Moon People will not be affected in the slightest. For the Moon People, the meaning of eating food is to enjoy it and to satisfy their own taste buds. Although the desires of the Moon People are more or less affected by the "clear and pure state", the taste buds desire, which is almost one of the most important sources of life, still remains in their behavior.

However, over the past few hundred years, there has been a view among the people of the Moon that in order to be truly nobler than the filthy land people living on the filthy Earth, they must abandon all behavioral habits that are the same or similar to those of the filthy land people living on the filthy Earth, and eating habits are naturally included.

Therefore, the current Moon Citizens have basically given up their eating habits, but the act of planting crops has not been cancelled. The Moon Rabbits just continue to plant crops day after day and year after year. Of course, the words "day after day and year after year" are not very accurate here. For the Moon City, there is no such thing as the passage of time. The same goes for the Moon Rabbits' planting behavior. Rather than saying that it is to accommodate the excess Moon Rabbit labor force, it is better to say that the Moon Citizens have no intention of making any "changes."

Seeing the defenseless Moon City under the great barrier of the Moon City, tens of thousands of monsters hiding in the plains of the Fertile Sea could not help but rub their hands and become restless. Just as Shang Yang said, although humans on the earth are interesting, they are too weak. Even if sometimes a strong human who is capable of fighting against monsters is born among humans, such opportunities are too rare. If it is not for unimaginable adventures or mysterious power qualifications that are rare in a thousand years, humans with less talent and luck will never be able to obtain enough power to match the monsters' hundreds of years of accumulation in a short life of a few decades.

Attacking humans is part of the daily life of monsters and is also their job. However, for most powerful monsters, it is not even enough to be considered entertainment, and only small monsters are keen on such activities.

And now, the enthusiasm of the terrestrial monsters who have come to the moon to form a huge night parade of one hundred demons has been rising.

"Everyone, what do you think?" Yakumo Yukari stared at the nearly transparent, moon-white barrier of the Moon City that covered the entire Moon Sea Plain, narrowing her eyes dangerously. "Although we are mentally prepared to strike again and again until this barrier is completely broken, that would inevitably give the Moon City and Yue Yejian too much time to prepare."

"How about a different strategy? Instead of destroying this barrier, we can infiltrate it through it." The youkai sage thought of a temporary change of strategy and snapped open his folding fan. "How about I use the power of my realm to carve a passage through here?"

"What the sage said makes sense, but I think we should stick to the strategy of directly breaking through the barrier and attacking." Upon hearing this, Jue frowned slightly and spoke in a rare tone, "All we need to ensure is that we can break the barrier in one blow."

"Oh?" The Youkai Sage cast his gaze towards the indifferent girl with short lavender hair and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

"Deterrence is something that needs to be considered."

Hearing this, Jue spoke concisely.

Although it sounded incoherent, Yakumo Yukari, Shang Yang, and Kazami Yuuka all understood what Jue meant. Shana, who had been standing quietly beside Shang Yang, turned sideways to glance at the Moon City Great Barrier, looking thoughtful. It seemed that she not only understood what Jue meant, but also thought of something else.

Without leaving any trace, Shana quietly extended her index finger and placed it on the tip of the index finger of Shang Yang's left hand behind his back. The communication between their hearts was silent.

"Shang Yang, listen to me, I have a solution..."

Although Shang Yang was a little surprised by Shana's behavior, he just followed Shana's wishes and did not show any changes that would be noticed by others. Instead, he glanced at the two of them inconspicuously, then quickly retracted his gaze, coughed lightly, and slightly attracted the attention of Fengjian Youxiang and Yakumo Yukari, providing a little cover for Shana.

For the Moon People who have been living in peace for thousands of years, the Moon City Great Barrier above their heads is an important guarantee for the eternal life of the Moon City. If the Moon City Great Barrier is directly broken, a huge Hundred Demons Night Parade composed of tens of thousands of monsters will fall directly from the sky, and no matter whether it is the Moon People or the Moon Rabbits, a large number of people will feel panic.

While Yakumo Yukari's infiltration suggestion would have been more effective as a surprise attack, as long as the Moon City's Great Barrier remained intact, the Moon People would still underestimate the massive Night Parade of One Hundred Demons from Earth, believing the monsters couldn't even break the Moon City's Great Barrier. Their confidence would inevitably strengthen their resistance. Therefore, Jue insisted on directly breaching the Moon City's Great Barrier, a tactic she drew upon her psychic expertise to effectively destroy the Moon City's will to resist.

"Miss Jue's words make sense," said Kazami Yuuka, who, holding a parasol and acting as relaxed as a girl on a trip since arriving at the Moon Sea, said calmly, "Blocks are not an indestructible means of defense. There's no need to avoid them. As for whether or not to give Tsukiyomi time to prepare, that's not important to me."

For Yuuka Kazami, participating in the war on the Moon Sea was just her interest. After she destroyed the Moon City with magic cannons in this war, it was estimated that the owner of the big flower field would never have the slightest thought of coming to the Moon City again.

Yuuka Kazami has no interest in weak opponents.

After hearing what Komeiji Kaku and Kazami Yuuka said, Shang Yang, who had originally agreed with Yakumo Yukari's opinion, nodded slightly.

"From the perspective of destroying the will to resist, directly breaking through the Moon City's barrier is indeed effective."

Seeing that everyone agreed to directly break the Moon City's Great Barrier, Yakumo Yukari gave up the idea of ​​sneaking in and snapped her fan shut. "Alright, then the question we should consider now is," the youkai sage said, slightly sideways, casting his gaze once again at the moon-white, nearly transparent barrier, "how to ensure that it can be broken with a single strike."

The principle of this large barrier covering the plains of the Sea of ​​Plenty has long been known to the four monster lords. This huge barrier utilizes the power of the moon itself. The dragon veins deliberately guided by Yue Yejian have channeled most of the spiritual power of the entire moon through the flow of the dragon veins and gathered in this man-made "Ancestral Dragon" land, serving as the source of power to maintain the autonomous circulation of the barrier without generating any excess consumption. It is the spiritual power of the moon itself that maintains the barrier of the Moon City. This is not only the reason why this huge barrier can cover the entire plains of the Sea of ​​Plenty, but also gives this huge barrier a defensive performance that is almost like a BUG.

In short, the dragon veins on the moon are endless and the barrier is unbreakable.

Moreover, if the autonomous cycle of the barrier cannot be destroyed, the Moon City Great Barrier, which also contains the principles of Shinto magic, will even rebound external attacks. Although they will not be seriously injured by their own magic power, their own strength will be consumed before they can enter the Moon City. This is obviously not what the four monster lords want. Therefore, finding a way to break the Great Barrier in one blow and make it lose the ability to rebound attacks instantly has become a vital matter.

For Shang Yang and Yakumo Yukari, their respective expertise in their respective fields destined them to be the nemesis of various techniques, especially those that need to be maintained for a long time. Therefore, when Yakumo Yukari proposed a feasible plan, Shang Yang immediately provided a supplementary plan, which was then supplemented by Fumiaki Yuuka and Komeiji Kaku, and the final plan was decided.

Gently closing her eyes, Yakumo Yukari quickly and carefully discussed the entire plan in her mind again, then opened her eyes and revealed a faint smile.

"Well, everyone, let's get started."

"it is good."

Nodding gently, Gu Mingdijue effortlessly used his mind to mimic Shang Yang's Yin-Yang Power. Instantly, with Gu Mingdijue's precision, even superior to Shang Yang's, the Yin-Yang Power spread along the edge of the Fertile Sea Plain, where the Moon City barrier met the shallow dragon vein beneath the surface.

Then, the two yin and yang rotated in a distorted direction, and the dragon vein spiritual power that had originally gathered towards the Moon City Great Barrier all moved in the opposite direction in an instant. The gathering of spiritual power was distorted into dispersion.

Then, Yakumo Yukari manipulated the hidden power of realm.

The realm of space.

The space where the huge barrier was located had countless microscopic spatial cracks created by the monster sage. The autonomous circulation of the barrier, which had temporarily lost its spiritual power supply, immediately came to a standstill due to these countless microscopic spatial cracks.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by violent fluctuations of mana, a surging torrent of mana gushed out, and Yuuka Kazami's magic cannon washed over the huge barrier in all directions without mercy, forcing the barrier to passively begin to concentrate the spiritual power that maintained the barrier on several areas where Yuuka Kazami's artillery impact was the strongest.

Because of this series of actions, vacuum gaps of spiritual power even appeared in some places within the great barrier itself.

"Shana, it's our turn."

When the three of them turned their eyes to the gray-haired young man who was waiting quietly, the young man suddenly called out softly, and when the petite black-haired girl heard the young man calling her, she instantly turned into a red lotus fire, which spread to the gray-haired young man and disappeared into the young man's heart.

As the red lotus flame of Shana's incarnation disappeared, Shang Yang drew out the Yin-Yang Sword at the same time and slashed it from bottom to top without hesitation, attaching the slashes that combined and separated the two yin and yang, along the spiritual gap in the Moon City's barrier. In the blink of an eye, he broke the Moon City's barrier, which had been operating intact for tens of thousands of years, from the center.

boom! ! !

A huge tearing explosion sounded throughout the eternally peaceful Moon City beneath the barrier. Both the Moon Citizens and the Moon Rabbits could only stare blankly as the great barrier that had protected the Moon City for tens of thousands of years broke apart from the center.

However, this was not the end. When the destructive tearing caused by the power of the two yin and yang completely tore a huge crack in the middle of the barrier, the red lotus fire suddenly burned on the gap of the broken barrier.

The blazing red lotus fire quickly spread to the entire moon-white barrier of the Moon City, and the entire plain of the Sea of ​​Fertility was illuminated by the red lotus fire with a fiery red like a red lotus.

In an instant, the Moon City's great barrier, which had been torn apart by a single blow, was completely burned up by the red lotus fire. For the first time, the dark universe and starry sky appeared unobstructed above the Moon City.

Then, all the Moon People and Moon Rabbits who looked up at the dark universe saw, from above the plains of the Sea of ​​Plenty, from the dark starry sky, descend...

That darker, yet larger than one could imagine...

Hundred Ghosts at Night.

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 114: The Festival of War

Originally, the Moon City Great Barrier, with its autonomous circulation, had a strong causal continuity in its ritual structure. This causal continuity, which was attached to the spiritual environment of the moon itself, was so strong that even Shana, the embodiment of the Causal Mystery, could not interrupt it and cause the Moon City Great Barrier to collapse on its own.

　At least, the current Shana can't do it.

However, if the Moon City Great Barrier was broken at the moment by Shang Yang's Liang Yi Sword, the causal continuity brought about by the Great Barrier's ritual structure, which was already on the verge of collapse, would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, in order to completely destroy the Great Barrier of the Moon City, Yue Yejian would no longer have the opportunity to repair the Great Barrier of the Moon City through the Moon Dragon Vein that she controlled in a short period of time.

What Shana and Shang Yang did was that Shana returned to Shang Yang's soul, used Shang Yang's Yin-Yang Sword as a carrier, and injected the power of cause and effect into it. When Shang Yang's Yin-Yang Sword quickly moved along the Moon City Great Barrier to resist the spiritual vacuum created by the baptism of Fengjian Youxiang's magic cannon and tore through the Moon City Great Barrier, Shana also used the power of cause and effect to cut off the ritual structure of the Moon City Great Barrier in a timely manner, causing the remaining structure of the Moon City Great Barrier to be completely shattered, and the spiritual power that could not operate according to the ritual structure also dissipated in the vacuum, completely destroying the Moon City Great Barrier.

After easily tearing the Moon City's barrier, and then cooperating with Shana to completely destroy the Moon City's barrier, Shang Yang was in a very good mood. He sheathed the Liangyi Sword, stood there quietly without saying a word.

The scene of the Moon City's Great Barrier being completely destroyed not only shocked the Moon People and Moon Rabbits under the Moon City's Great Barrier, but even the monsters were unable to react.

After taking an interested look at the young man with gray and messy hair, the monster sage concealed his curiosity, turned around, and stared at the vast plain of the Sea of ​​Fertility.

The gentle smile vanished from the beautiful face of the Yokai Sage, leaving only the great Yokai's indifference.

Closing the folding fan, he raised his jade hand and pointed to the Moon City in the center of the Sea of ​​Plenty Plain. With a cold tone, the Youkai Sage gave a cold attack order to the huge One Hundred Demons Night Parade behind him.

"One Hundred Demons Parade at Night, the Hunt Begins."

In the center of the Moon Capital Shrine, in front of the Great Palace on a moonlit night.

Watatsuki Yorihime, who was about to step into Tsukiyomi Omiya, realized what had happened after hearing a loud explosion.

Even with some mental preparation, when Mian Yue Yiji saw the Moon City's great barrier being broken by an almost colorless pure white slash, and then burned out by the mysterious crimson flames, and the dark demons falling from the edge of the Sea of ​​Fertility Plain, Mian Yue Yiji also felt a palpitation.

This was a normal reaction to an emergency after a long period of peace and tranquility. Then, the brave Moon Princess immediately discarded the palpitation in her heart, and made the most correct decision calmly and decisively.

"Quiet down!"

The cold, high-pitched shout caused the Moon Rabbits stationed at the Yuque Palace gate to forget their panic. All of them, including the Military Inspection Officer, who also felt a slight brain freeze, subconsciously turned their gaze towards Her Royal Highness the Moon Princess, who had turned back and, in just a few steps, had once again reached the palace gate.

"Messenger."

Mian Yue Yiji's cold voice was once again heard by the Moon People and Moon Rabbits at the gate of Yuque Palace.

"My subordinate is here."

The Moon Rabbit Messenger, who was delivering the order, answered subconsciously.

Mian Yue Yiji didn't waste any words and gave the order directly.

"Inform all Moon City garrisons: Moon City is now in a state of emergency. Activate the city's defensive barrier, activate all defensive spells, activate all combat weapons, open the underground arsenal, and release the combat humanoids. Focus all troops on the enemy's main attack direction and rely on our position structure to block the enemy step by step."

"As you command," the Moon Rabbit Messenger stood up straight after receiving the order. "Convey this order to all garrison troops immediately!"

After giving the order to the outer garrison of Moon City, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Moon City, who had a light pink ponytail, glanced at the Military Inspection Envoy who had also come back to his senses with a serious expression and was waiting for instructions, and she also gave the order directly to the noble commander of the Moon People.

"Military Observer, order the Shrine's garrison to activate the Shrine's outer and core defenses. Abandon unnecessary defense points and concentrate forces on garrisoning the Shrine's core!"

After seeing that the garrison in front of her had basically restored order, Watatsuki Yorihime turned around again and quickly headed towards Tsukiyomi Omiya.

"Defense is ultimately not a viable long-term strategy. Since the enemy, the Nine-Spirit Tumor Master Liu Qi, was able to break through the Moon City barrier protecting the Sea of ​​Plenty before anyone could react, it means that the enemy is fully prepared. If we want to repel the enemy, a counterattack is essential, and a counterattack requires the power of Mother..."

As Watatsuki Yorihime's orders were resolutely carried out, the main urban structure of the Moon City, starting from the periphery, was once again covered by the moon-white barrier.

Then, barriers were raised outside buildings such as the Shrine and the Moon City Council in the Moon City. The gates leading to the surface of the Sea of ​​Plenty in four underground military structures located on the outskirts of the Moon City were also opened. From the exits of these four underground fortresses, thousands of mass-produced combat humanoids equipped with various combat weapons flew out and flew towards the edge of the Sea of ​​Plenty plain, facing the monsters that were falling from the edge of the Sea of ​​Plenty.

At the same time, taking advantage of the precious time the combat dolls were using to delay the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, the Moon Rabbit troops, following Watatsuki Yorihime's orders, activated various weaponry sealed in the underground fortress: spiritual artillery powered by spiritual energy, missiles using tracking techniques as a positioning mechanism, tank-type combat vehicles equipped with Shinto attack techniques, autonomous combat aircraft that could automatically determine friend or foe, and deployable battle barriers to defend against energy-based attacks...

The fantasy modern tactical weapons created by highly developed scientific principles mixed with mystical principles made Shang Yang, who was still standing on the edge of the Sea of ​​Fertility Plain with Yakumo Yukari and others, feel a sense of absurdity like Don Quixote fighting the windmill.

But it must be said that the modern weapons produced by this mix-and-match principle are extremely powerful. For example, Shang Yang discovered that the small autonomous combat aircraft of the Moon City has stronger cornering performance than the modern fighter jets in Shang Yang's hometown world.

In the history of this world, a thousand years later, during the Apollo program, the Earth's lunar exploration spacecraft was defeated by the Moon People.

In the center of the Moon Capital Shrine, you can see the Great Palace on a moonlit night.

As soon as she entered the palace, Mian Yue Yiji felt that the rich power of the Moon God was permeating the entire palace. The Moon God, who had always been sitting on the throne in the middle of the palace when Mian Yue Yiji was summoned here on normal days, was nowhere to be seen at this moment. Only the empty throne was left in the center of the hall.

"See you on a moonlit night, my lord. Mian Yue Yi Ji has arrived."

After calming herself down a little, Mian Yue Yiji knelt on one knee in front of the throne in the hall and reported in a cold voice.

"Lord Yueyemi, the demons from the earth have unexpectedly breached the Moon City's barrier and are now invading the Plenty Sea Plain. Yorihime has ordered the entire Moon City garrison to block the demons' advance. However, judging by the demons' clean and efficient breach of the Moon City's barrier, our forces likely won't have a chance to launch a counterattack and repel them. Please advise Yorihime on what to do next."

"Hold on for an hour."

The girl's voice, which made people feel cold even if they heard it, suddenly rang out in the palace.

"Yiji, your judgment is correct. The conventional forces of the Moon City have no chance of launching a counterattack against the invaders from the surface." After a brief pause, the cold voice of the young woman echoed clearly in the moonlit palace. "However, tens of thousands of youkai are not a big deal. But this time, the main enemy that the Moon City must face is four youkai lords from the surface, who transcend the 'principles of this world'."

"Even if Yu and Yonglin can hold off two of them, you and Fengji alone cannot defeat any of the monster lords. But now, you sisters must immediately work with your teacher, Lord Yayi, to find a way to hold off the great monsters of the earthly demon tribe and buy me an hour."

"An hour later, even if I faced four demon lords who transcend the laws of this world, this unprecedented invading force, I would have the means to stop them, or even repel them."

"Now, go with your sister and find Yagi Eirin."

"...As you command, I'll see you on a moonlit night, sir."

With an expressionless face and a soft response, Mianyue Yiji stood up and turned around without hesitation to leave Yue Yejian Omiya.

With the departure of Watatsuki Yorihime, Tsukiyomiya returned to silence again.

Walking out of Yue Ye Jian Omiya, Mian Yue Yiji gently shook her long hair, and the light pink single ponytail swayed gently with Yiji's movements. She casually pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword tied at her waist, and left the palace behind her, walking towards the last line of defense before the enemy attacked the shrine - Yuque Gate.

Her Royal Highness the Moon Princess, with an expressionless face, walked towards the Yuque Gate from the direction of the Moonlit Palace. The Moon Rabbit troops stationed here were busy reinforcing the defense of the palace gate. The Moon Citizen noble, the Military Observer, stood in the middle of the gate with his back to the palace gate.

The katana, originally strapped to his waist, had been untied and held before him. The tip of the scabbard touched the ground, and the military officer's hands rested on the hilt.

Realizing that Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Moon City was walking towards him, Guan Junrong turned around smoothly, knelt on one knee before Her Royal Highness the Princess, and lowered his head.

"Your Highness, please give your orders regarding this matter."

bang.

Drawing out her long sword like lightning, Mian Yue Yiji pressed the tip of the sword against Guan Junrongshi's neck, her voice cold.

"When I come here again within an hour, this palace gate must still be in your hands."

"Otherwise, if you live, I will take your head, and if you die, I will tear you into pieces."
