Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"You owe me your life, is that okay?"

"no problem."

"Then just give me my life if you have the chance." Bai Yu said calmly.

"Yes." Cordelia promised: "I swear to the Lord."

"I haven't told you how to pay it back."

"?"

"Maybe it would be good to have one?"

"...Please respect yourself, teasing an injured lady is not a gentleman's behavior."

Her Royal Highness the Saint was not as blushing as the little girl. The Romans were indeed more resistant in this regard.

Bai Yu changed the topic: "Killing the flute player means you saved your life."

"This was originally my goal, but now I'm a little less confident." Cordelia looked at the pale mist outside the cave: "I can't remember his appearance at all, let alone what happened during the process of being mentally suggested. What's up."

"Most of the lackeys of the Outer Gods are difficult to deal with. It's normal that you can't handle it." Bai Yu suddenly remembered this matter: "There is also a conflict between the Holy Church and the believers of the Outer Gods?"

"We can't talk about conflicts. They are in the dark and we are in the open... It is usually difficult to meet head-on. If it were not a matter in my family, it would be almost difficult for me to know that this group of people exists." Cordelia said: "However, the Holy Church has always had an agency that specializes in hunting down evil mages and cultists."

Bai Yu sat closer: "Elaborate."

Cordelia said: "I can say it, but before that, could you please do me a favor, sir?"

"Don't say you want to go to the toilet at this time." Bai Yu said with a subtle expression, "I can turn around."

"No, my back hurts a little..."

"The pain is normal. I kicked it several times. I can tell you that my feet feel good."

"I didn't ask you that, I meant, there's a pebble."

"...Are you the Princess and the Pea?" Bai Yu said, "Do you really have such soft skin?"

Her Royal Highness the Saint took a deep breath: "Sir, please imagine that if there is a pebble in your sneakers, your feet will be stung no matter how you walk..."

"Stop talking, the sense of substitution is here." Bai Yu walked over, lifted her upper body up, and then flicked the pebble away.

"Thank you, you can put me down now." Cordelia was not used to being held by the princess, but she didn't have the strength to do so, so she could only press against the opposite side.

"I can't let go..." Bai Yu refused to let go, and his casual expression suddenly turned serious: "The plan has changed."

He turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave, kicked the Lion Heart Spear with his right foot, and the spear flew several times in the air, shaking away the thick to pale white fog outside the cave.

Cordelia asked confusedly: "What, what's wrong?"

"I'm afraid I don't have time to wait for you to regain your mobility."

"Ah? Are you so anxious..."

"It's so urgent, urgent, urgent, as fast as thunder and lightning..." Bai Yu's eyes were like lightning, looking directly at the several monsters wandering outside: "I have to rush back now. If you want to stay here, you can, I can I’ll come back and help you build a more beautiful grave.”

Cordelia had no choice at all, so she had no choice but to compromise: "I still want to live, please try not to be too wild."

"Don't worry, my old driver, sit still and hold on!" Bai Yu stepped out of the cave and turned into a fireball that cut through the underworld.

Chapter 609 Huangquan Canyon

Yellow spring, canyon.

There are usually two possibilities for the appearance of canyons in Yingzhou. The first is that the cliffs are caused by earthquakes; the second is that there is an artificial terrain carved by a peerless expert.

This is the latter.

Two hundred years ago, a drunken sword master swung his sword at Huang Quan and killed hundreds of demons and ghosts, leaving this canyon with a height of more than 300 meters on the earth. At first, It was a mountain that turned into a canyon with only one way in and no way out.

It has no name, just the prefix Huangquan.

In the past two hundred years, this canyon has been often exploited by interested people.

Because this terrain is too suitable for traps and killings.

The onmyoji of Tsuchimikado's family once drove herds of beasts to kill more than 10,000 demons here, and they achieved great military exploits and laid the foundation of their own onmyoji family.

But what few people actually know is...

In this canyon, the human corpses left behind are also mountains of bones.

Because it is a dead end, once you step into the canyon, there is only one way back.

Facing a mountain nine feet high, even an extraordinary person cannot climb it with bare hands.

Amamiya Mahiru knew this very well.

I decided early on to stay away from this kind of terrain, but I was still dragged into it.

She shouldn't have made such a careless mistake.

It's a pity that the situation is chaotic.

After Bai Yu led Cordelia away, she continued to stay on the front line of Huangquan.

But because many swordsmen have started killing each other under the influence of the piper, the trust between the camps has disappeared.

On the fifth day, the entire front line collapsed and the crowd dispersed.

On the sixth day, the combatants gathered together again and began to discuss countermeasures.

It was too late to retreat at this time, but once he exited the underworld, his military merits would definitely be gone, and he might even be punished and beheaded.

The culture of seppuku among Yingzhou warriors has always existed. They can die in battle but cannot be humiliated.

So the option of retreat is non-existent.

At this time, the Fujiwara clan, a high-ranking Chinese family from Kyoto, proposed a plan to trap demons and ghosts in the canyon, and invited the Onmyoji of the Tsuchimikado family to conduct a sand table deduction. After a brainstorming decision, everyone reached a consensus.

Although we can't expect to rebuild and stabilize the front line, as long as we kill enough demons and ghosts here, we still have a chance to make military achievements.

It can be regarded as making up for the past, and it can relieve the pressure on the shogunate and the military.

In the meeting at that time, Amamiya Mahiru was just a single person and had no right to speak. The policy was determined by the shogunate samurai family and the Chinese people in Kyoto. The Tsuchimikado family only acted as a military staff member in the process.

Since it is a trap, there are a few steps that are inevitable.

Guidance, bait, formation, and finally closing the gap.

Those responsible for serving as bait include Chinese and Wu families.

In the battle plan, all decisions are relatively fair... everyone has merit, everyone has the opportunity to win military glory, and the risks are equally shared by all parties.

But as the plan progressed, some problems began to emerge.

The bait tactics were not completely executed, the timing was imprecise, and the lack of communication caused chaos. Many collapses and conflicts occurred before the demons were introduced into the canyon. Fortunately, the strategy designed by Tsuchimikado in advance was effective.

The plan to trap and kill the demons was completed without any danger.

But when dusk came on the sixth day, the warriors, who were exhausted from the whole day of fighting, suddenly realized that something was wrong.

On the battlefield filled with corpses of demons and ghosts, there were almost no Chinese people to be seen, and they were surrounded by members of the Wu family.

When they raised their heads and looked over, they found that at the crack in the canyon, a group of Chinese people were standing on the windward side watching them bleed.

This was actually part of the plan.

The killing plan planned by the Chinese was a double conspiracy.

On the surface, they are cooperating with the shogunate samurai family to attract demons and ghosts to the canyon to trap and kill them in order to win military glory;

The real purpose inside is to consume the strength and foundation of this group of martial arts. Even killing demons and ghosts in the canyon will take time... They deliberately introduced an excessive number of demons and ghosts to increase the number of demons and ghosts in the canyon, and in the chaos of the battle In the process, quietly evacuated.

It took several hours for the Chinese to quietly withdraw from the canyon, leaving only the warriors of the Wu family fighting bloody battles here.

This group of people was kept in the dark. Because of the tragic fighting situation, they did not realize that something was wrong. Even if they realized that they wanted to evacuate, it was already too late.

They have no escape route!

At this time, the intersection of the canyon had been blocked. Some warriors realized this and wanted to evacuate. As a result, they were hacked to death in the crack of the canyon.

Even if more warriors are aware of it, they can only continue to kill the demons and ghosts at this time, and they will not be able to form an effective impact on the mouth of the canyon.

After thousands of demons and ghosts were killed, the number of remaining living people on the Wu family's side had dropped sharply from the original hundreds to less than fifty.

The fifty people who survived here were even more exhausted.

On the other hand, the Chinese side still retains more than 150 active combat personnel, waiting for work.

The combat power is out of proportion.

Unfortunately, Amamiya Mahiru is one of them.

She was not a prized target, but a member of a targeted group.

Who would have thought that the conflict between the Wu family and the Chinese family would break out in such a way at such a time, and be so bloody.

In a scene that should have been open to the outside world in unison, I was still thinking about fighting in the nest.

There has never been such a result in the past. Even if they kill each other, it is always an individual act, and there is rarely a group.

This time is an exception.

The samurai family was so angry that the armor worn by the eldest son Shibata, who had the highest status in the shogunate, was in tatters. He drew his sword angrily and shouted: "Aren't you afraid that if you do this, it will be spread and the world will laugh at you?!"

Fujiwara said calmly, "If you all die here, no one will ever know the truth... Don't worry, the military merit will still be yours. At least the family behind you will be honored."

Shibata Morikazu stared at the faces of the Chinese people and looked at them one by one: "Do you really think you can hide what you did? You can hide it from the shogunate and the general!"

"You are so naive. No matter how many people die in hell, they are tacitly allowed." Fujiwara touched the knife at his waist: "The general would not take action at all. Otherwise, when the swordsmen fought among themselves before, why didn't he take action to stop it? Woolen cloth?"

"Originally, every underworld exorcism kills people."

"But this time, more people from your Wu family will die."

Tomohiro Fujiwara pushed up his glasses and slowly narrowed his eyes. Although he was Chinese, he also had a residence in Edo.

As a top student who studied abroad, he witnessed the prosperity of a big country and was exposed to many advanced ideas.

After staying here for several years, I know how fast the shogunate developed. Compared with Kyoto, which remained unchanged, Edo developed too fast.

If this continues, sooner or later the gap between Kyoto and Edo will widen. The result is that the land-based Chinese landlords will gradually lag behind the samurai family who rely on industrial upgrading to gain huge wealth. This is an irreversible result that cannot be changed or reversed. The foundation of both parties Determined to be irreconcilable with each other, just like the two sides in the Civil War, it will inevitably lead to war, conflict and contradiction... and in the end, the Chinese and the Emperor will fail.

Because the emperor who was canonized by popular support and faith would lose popular support because he was unable to stop the people's vision and yearning for a better life;

The old faith will be replaced by the new world.

If he were a member of the shogunate, he would definitely accept this result happily, but he is Chinese and he knows that his foundation is on the land. He relies on a pyramid-like structure to trap the people at the bottom on a piece of land to consolidate himself. status.

So the more he learned about it, the more he panicked about the changes in the shogunate. The balance of the past few hundred years was being broken by this generation of generals.

The general was undoubtedly sharpening his sword.

So Fujiwara Tomohiro reversely practiced the advanced ideas learned from abroad, thought of many methods, and thought about how to solve this problem.

He soon realized that he could not change the trend of historical development.

He worried about this for a long time.

Fujiwara Tomohiro initially did not consider it would develop to this point because there was no such opportunity before.

Because he is only a three-level transcendent; the real say on the underworld front lies in the hands of the swordsman who stabilizes the front.

Even if he had an idea, it would be impossible to implement it.

But change always happens by chance.

The swordsmen killed each other until there were only a few left, and finally withdrew from the front line.

Tomohiro Fujiwara immediately realized that the opportunity had come.

Even if the changes in the shogunate cannot be prevented, time must be delayed as much as possible.

This opportunity is unique.

If a large number of samurai families die here, then the samurai family, as the backbone of the shogunate, will form a fault line in one generation!

What is the result of a generation of young people dying?

The history of some countries on Earth has clearly told this point.

At that time, not only many samurai families will decline, but even the shogunate itself will be greatly affected. The progress of reforms will be slowed down. Without the support of young people, the balance between the left and right wings in the shogunate will be broken, and the conservatives of the older generation will Gaining the upper hand can buy decades more time.

Others can't understand it, but it's impossible for the Emperor to not understand it, and he will definitely protect him;
