227 This One Should Be in the Bag

However, with peace having prevailed for so long, these weapons have been stored away in warehouses, gathering dust and never seeing the light of day.

Oni (Oni Clan) patrol regularly, their role being solely to prevent Kanto (Monster) from Kanto from sneaking back to Kansai.

In addition to these, they also act as registrars, registering extraordinary individuals who pass through Kanto or Kansai.

Besides Daoist priests, Mount Suzuka Seki Fortress is also home to many Monsters and extraordinary individuals who settle and cultivate there. The castle occupies a good location and can be described as a prosperous city.

But today, Mount Suzuka Seki Fortress is in chaos.

Within minutes, the news reached all the extraordinary beings and Monster in the city.

Lord Otake-maru's 10,000 Kansai suffered a Monster defeat and fled back from Tokyo, leaving him with less than a hundred yokai.

And the pursuers are closing in!

Upon returning to the Seki Fortress, Otake-maru drove away all the foreign Monster living there, leaving only some trusted Monster and his subordinates.

Many of the Otake-maru clan's subordinates have scattered over the years, but there are still about ten thousand old Monster who have followed his family since ancient times.

Those who went to Tokyo with him before were his personal guards. They escaped all the way back without losing a single demon, so they can be said to be the elite of the elite.

Otake-maru stood on the city wall, surrounded by his subordinates, mostly Oni Clan.

Japan Monster are mostly composed of the Oni Clan, many of whom are highly skilled, but there are far more weaklings.

The Red Oniichi is led by the Shuten Family, while the Blue Oniichi is led by Otake-maru.

Otake-maru successfully escaped back to Mount Suzuka Seki Fortress, where he was surrounded by layers of demon soldiers, and only then did his fear subside.

He composed himself and saw that the Monster that had been driven out were still gathered below the city, so he ordered his men to drive them away.

The Monster below the city wall cursed and swore, but forced to leave under threat of force.

Otake-maru knew that Kanto Monster of Kanto had been preparing for a long time, and that not all the Monster here were spies, but he was not capable of distinguishing them, so he simply drove them all away.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the Monster that raised it.

Otake-maru watched coldly and saw that some of the driven-away Monster, seeing no hope of returning to the city, fell silent, gathered together, and ran out of the Monster Domain towards the pursuers.

The other Monster also saw this and immediately began to praise him:

"The city lord is indeed a brilliant strategist!"

"The city lord is awesome!"

Otake-maru simply shook his head at the compliments, having no interest in responding.

The subordinates obediently quieted down.

He gazed into the distance and asked, "Have you found anyone who knows the truth?"

"Found it."

His subordinate brought up a Monster.

Otake-maru began asking him about Shuya. He didn't react much when he learned that Shuya was famous, but when he heard that Shuya was Li Shuhong's disciple, he showed an expression of "I knew it."

"So you're the disciple of the Spear God. No wonder you're so skilled."

Otake-maru said that on purpose.

It's better to lose to a disciple of the renowned Li Shuhong than to an unknown nobody.

As for the question about Shuya only ten years old... Huh? It's not unreasonable to calculate the age of the Spear God's disciple as three times that, bro, right?

Otake-maru didn't say this aloud, but simply instructed those around him to prepare for battle.

After returning to his own Monster Domain, his confidence returned immediately.

The Divine Domain has a system of Yin Soldiers and Heavenly Soldiers, and the Monster Domain has something similar. In the past, extraordinary individuals who died in the Monster Domain can be used by the Monster Domain. By inputting the Power of Awe, they can be summoned to help kill enemies.

But Otake-maru didn't think that victory was guaranteed.

That Kanto Monster Alliance is followed by a whole bunch of Monster...

Where would I find so much Power of Will to store up?

Even if it exists, why use it all up for the Kansai Monster?

He, Otake-maru, isn't a subordinate of Kansai Monster, and besides, the fighting strength of that Spear God's disciple...

Otake-maru was somewhat terrified after being beaten.

He calmed down and thought about it carefully, and finally realized something was wrong.

Even with his not-so-bright mind, he could see that the other party was plotting something.

After the chase, he no longer had the resolve to fight to the death.

Not long after Otake-maru returned to the city, the Monster from that region, Shuya, also arrived.

They did not attack immediately, but rested outside the Monster Domain.

The spies from the Mount Suzuka Monster Domain have also returned. They were just a side pawn, and no one will blame them for their failure.

The Kanto Monster Alliance had been chasing them all the way, and even though they were the victors, they were still quite tired.

It's a good time to take a break, and I'll also have the tech guy go out and upload the videos from this trip.

Shuya wouldn't leave the Spirit Realm to follow up on those matters at this crucial moment; he would simply summon the Monster to report.

Even without reporting it, he could tell from the Power of Will that the video had gone viral.

But I still want to listen to it and have some fun.

Soon a Monster came to report.

On the Hidden Website, counterattack videos have become a series.

The first video in the series is the full version of the declaration of the establishment of the Kanto Monster Alliance, followed by the Tokyo Spirit Realm Battle.

The latest video is a chase scene from Tokyo to the Mount Suzuka Monster Domain.

There are three videos in total, and each video has received over 60 million views, and the number is still rising.

It's safe to say that almost everyone on the Hidden Website has seen it.

Many extraordinary individuals who had no interest in going online also registered specifically to watch.

Wars of this magnitude are extremely rare these days, so their allure is self-evident.

Another factor was the great success of the publicity strategy.

Shuya and his friends have always cultivated an image of diligence among the Kanto Monster. Now that the cause and effect have been revealed, coupled with the brainless assistance of the four Tengu and Oniichi Tsubasa, people are overwhelmingly on the side of the Kanto Monster Alliance.

I really hope they can overthrow their superiors and launch a successful counterattack.

This successfully leverages people's empathy.

People empathized with the weaker side of the Kanto Monster and shared a common hatred, wanting to defeat the Kansai Monster's Main Family to vent their anger.

The Power of Will surged forth.

As the saying goes, "A just cause is necessary for a campaign."

It's safe now.

After listening to the report and sensing the Power of Will gathered in the Kanto Monster Alliance, Shuya finally ordered them to advance.

The first group of Monster entered the Mount Suzuka Monster Domain.

Then the three groups of Monster entered one after another, followed by hundreds of thousands of Monsters.

When Shuya saw the continuous mountain range of the Mount Suzuka Monster Domain, he couldn't help but whistle:

"That's spectacular!"

Besides the mountains, the Seki Fortress built in the middle was also very magnificent, with various runes flashing on its walls, making it extremely defensive.

Several cannons, hastily found and enhanced with Strange Arts powers, were also mounted on the wall.

This thing looks intimidating, but Shuya learned through his undercover work that it hadn't seen sunlight in a long time and hadn't been maintained, so the chances of it being usable or not were about 50/50.

There's absolutely no need to worry about it.

Section 243, 227: This should be a sure thing.

Upon entering the Mount Suzuka Monster Domain, Shuya felt the Monster Domain spontaneously generate power to suppress him, but the Kanto Monster Alliance had already gained momentum, and a Power of Will spontaneously resisted it.

If Shuya brought his organization to fight, and had come alone, his strength would have been weakened first.

There's no need to worry about it now.

The Kanto Monster Alliance marched on and successfully arrived at the city.

There were no enemies blocking their way, Otake-maru knew it would be useless to try; there were just too many Monsters.

They could only defend the city.

The Monster from Kanto stood still beneath the city walls.

Shuya looked up and met the gaze of Otake-maru on the city wall across the distance.

"Otake-maru, surrender! If you help me deal with the Kansai Monster, I promise I won't touch your family's Power of Will!"

Shuya mince words and went straight to stating the terms.

Otake-maru shouted, "I have no interest in getting involved in your feud. How about this, we each take a step back, and I'll let you pass, promising not to attack you!"

"No way, I don't trust you. If you and the Kansai Monster attack us from both sides, we'll be in big trouble!"

"I'm not that kind of Monster!"

"What can Monster that can so shamelessly abandon its companions say?"

"They're not my teammates! I'm just a foreign player, a foreign player, you understand!"

"Pah! I'd be a fool to believe you!"

Shuya and Otake-maru started exchanging barbs.

The two Monsters could only stare at each other blankly.

Otake-maru was furious and pointed at Shuya: "If you're so strong, come and hit me!"

Shuya was also furious. "If you're so stubborn, come down and fight me!"

"Come up here!"

"Get down!"

"You go first!"

"You go first!"

Shuya and Otake-maru were exchanging barbs in perfect unison, but neither of them was willing to make the first move.

The situation is actually quite clear now.

Otake-maru was unwilling to risk his trump cards for the Kansai Monster. The Power of Will and the Power of Will of the Mount Suzuka Monster Domain were his means of survival, and he wasn't about to use them all for Kansai Monster he had no kin to.

Shuya also had similar concerns.

The Kanto Monster Alliance was newly established and its reserves of Power of Will were insufficient, so every bit of power it could save was precious.

He personally possesses the Power of Will provided by over a billion people worldwide, but he cannot guarantee that this power can defeat the Kansai Monster.

He didn't want to waste his energy on something unrelated like Otake-maru.

Otake-maru is not part of the Kansai Monster faction; he is considered neutral.

However, it's impossible for him to ignore Otake-maru and simply pass through without permission.

There's no good explanation; I simply don't trust him.

This led to a stalemate where the human and the demon were exchanging insults.

At this moment, Yamata Mochizuki, who was beside Otake-maru, said, "Otake-maru, there's no need to worry. Our Main Family knows that reinforcements will arrive soon. As long as you defend Mount Suzuka Seki Fortress, you will be richly rewarded!"

Yamata Mochizuki didn't know if reinforcements would come, but he made the announcement anyway.

"This..."

Otake-maru hesitated for a moment.
