Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 941

"Huh, Seimei isn't here?"

"He took Donghua and Xiaobai to Mount Dajiang."

Yaobikuni explained to Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka suddenly realized, "We're going to Mount Oe to get aid!"

Why is Seimei the main character?

That means they have a lot of influence!

—Tamamo-no-Mae, the leader of the entire Omahara Plain in the east, is a relative. He also knows the monsters of the Seven-Cornered Mountain in the north, and the wind god Ichimokuren is his shikigami. As for the Kuroya Mountain in the south... he doesn't know much about it, but he knows quite a few monsters. He also knows some of the water monsters in the Arakawa River.

Finally, we arrive at Mount Oe in the west?

Kyosuke Kosaka believed that Seimei had little connection with Shuten-dōji and Ibaraki-dōji of Mount Ōe.

But he also believed that they were better than him.

It wasn't that Kyosuke Kosaka underestimated himself, but rather that he was perfectly sane.

He participated in the previous war against Mount Oe, and was essentially a perpetrator of the war against Mount Oe.

If you were to actually go and ask for help, you should be grateful you weren't beaten up.

Want more? That's just wishful thinking.

"Should we wait here now?" Kousaka Kyosuke asked again.

Minamoto no Hiromasa said, "That's right. When Suzukayama really comes, we need to go and meet him to buy some time. Then, Yunwaijing can immediately trigger the illusion barrier that has been prepared."

When Kyosuke Kosaka heard the countermeasures, he frowned slightly.

"If that's the case, wouldn't many people have to sacrifice themselves?"

The saying goes, "Two fists can hardly defeat four hands."

They definitely can't fight back without bringing men.

Otherwise, if they are targeted, they could be surrounded and killed by the enemy.

Therefore, it is important for some people to provide cover.

As for those providing cover, the probability of them dying is quite high.

“You’ve forgotten about the Oni-Bingbu,” Minamoto no Hiromasa said.

"There's also a Ghost Army?"

"There are some left, about eight hundred, which is enough to handle."

"That is not bad……"

Kyosuke Kousaka had no objections whatsoever.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I've been misled by the information in the original work again. I thought Minamoto no Yorimitsu sacrificed all the Onikiri to reforge it."

Even if it's not like that, it's still very extravagant.

Thousands, seemingly close to tens of thousands, of the Ghost Soldiers, those Gundam-like steel warriors, were simply melted away.

This is treating steel as if it weren't steel!

It's only thanks to the Minamoto clan, a descendant of the imperial family, that they had the audacity to do this. If it were any other family... I doubt even the Fujiwara clan would have gone bankrupt.

"Go and rest. All we can do now is wait."

"Row."

Kousaka Kyosuke looked at Kagura and saw that she had gone to the other side with Yaobikuni to whisper. She simply threw out a paper crane, crossed her arms, closed her eyes, and took a nap to recharge.

The paper crane's destination was none other than Kyosuke Kousaka's residence.

Upon receiving the message from the paper crane, Su Yi instructed Su Chang, Yao Dao Ji, and Bai Lang to make preparations.

All of them were to go and fight during the final battle.

There will be no situation where anyone lingers.

Everyone wanted to do their part, and since the mansion's security was quite good, Kousaka Kyosuke certainly didn't object.

The reason he didn't go immediately was that Kyosuke Kosaka felt it wouldn't be convenient for a group of women to go there. He figured it wouldn't take much time to get there anyway, so he might as well stay home.

"Don't worry, we will definitely defeat the siren this time!" Su Chang said firmly while wiping her longsword.

Whether it's ocean waves or the lingering demonic miasma, she will cut them all down.

"Intruder, kill him."

Yaodao-hime's words were brief, but her killing intent was palpable.

The white wolf, however, seemed hesitant to speak.

Su Yi noticed the problem and asked, "White Wolf, is there something you want to say?"

The white wolf replied, "If I stay at a high place, I will be able to largely restrain those sea monsters from coming over."

Su Chang exclaimed in surprise, "Yes, with Bai Lang's archery skills, he would be more useful to go and garrison there first!"

"In this regard, I think Lord Kyosuke might not have noticed. You could send someone to inquire about it."

Xiangzi, who was watching from the sidelines, said with a smile.

Upon hearing these words, Su Yi could not hide the strange look on her dignified face.

"Then send someone to inquire... It's probably because Lord Kyosuke received instructions at the last minute."

Xiangzi looked at Su Yi, who was trying to cover up her husband's carelessness, and she really wanted to laugh.

"Sigh, Kyosuke-sama sometimes doesn't think things through, but it's okay, everyone will do their best to help~"

A quarter of an hour later.

When Kyosuke Kosaka received the letter from a servant at the mansion, a smirk involuntarily crept onto his face: I really am not cut out for commanding battles.

234. Archery / Battle Preparation and Considerations of Gains and Losses / From the Sea Kingdom

After receiving the letter, have someone deliver it back.

Not long after, the white wolf arrived, having received the news.

Just one.

After all, if Su Yi Su Chang, Yao Dao Ji, and others came together, it's hard to say whether it was a picnic or not.

On the contrary, the appearance of a white wolf with obvious animal ears and a large tail would not make people think too much.

Normal people know that humans with animal characteristics are monsters.

The shikigami that swaggered into Kyoto were those of the Onmyoji.

Ordinary people and even nobles were no longer surprised.

Ultimately, the capital of the entire country, Kyoto, is home to the three strongest Onmyoji families.

Furthermore, most Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) gather in Kyoto.

It doesn't make sense for a shikigami to obey an onmyoji.

Furthermore, the clothing worn by shikigami is always decorated with the yin-yang runes of the onmyoji or family marks.

A normal person can usually tell whether a suddenly appearing monster is wild just by looking at its clothing.

Because these sea monsters from Suzuka Mountain are going to attack, there are more shikigami that obey the Onmyoji's orders than usual.

This was something that would never have happened before.

The people on the street adapted to this sudden change very quickly.

Even wild yokai that sneak into Kyoto openly go out to buy things are considered to be doing a very normal thing.

The concept of "humans and ghosts being born together" saw significant development during this period.

Kyosuke Kosaka found this quite amazing.

"Compared to the sirens that are about to attack and are almost completely unreasonable, the monsters around Kyoto are quiet and have only average attack power, just like little white rabbits."

I am afraid of comparison in everything.

When you compare them...

Anyone with a sound mind would realize how threatening the monsters around Kyoto really are.

Compared to the siren, it's nothing at all.

"There are targets over there, shall we go practice archery together?" Minamoto no Hiromasa, who had only been sitting for a while, couldn't stay still. Seeing the white wolf wiping the wooden bow, he was immediately aroused with the desire to spar.

As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on Kyosuke Kosaka.

Kyosuke Kousaka is also skilled with a bow and arrow.

When I was young, I thought that long-range attacks were more convenient, so I went to learn them.

For example, shooting an enemy in the back and then hastily turning around and running away.

This tactic was the safest one that Kyosuke Kousaka believed to be when he was a child.
