Nidhogg Can't Keep Up

Recalling the nonsense that man sat on the window sill and didn't want to touch when he was drinking, I have to admit that my brother is very good at "one way".

Of course, she has no right and no intention to interfere with the survival attitude of the ghost clan, everyone has their own choice.She, Jian Tongying, only cares about her own and her brother's affairs. This is her selfishness, and the mentality of severe brother control never makes sense.

At this moment, from the group of monsters shouting and drinking, a figure in gorgeous clothes suddenly appeared more and more.

There seems to be such a name in Matou Sakura's memory, but she can't recall the sharp red horn shining on the top of her head and the unique temperament that is so confident and arrogant.

"The ghost king of power, Yuki Hoshiguma~" Yakumo Zi looked at Sakura's stunned look, and said faintly.

Looking directly at Hoshiguma Yui's clear eyes, the deep black light pierced the latter's brows slightly, and she didn't feel relieved until she recognized who was in front of her.

"I was just wondering why you came so slowly. It turned out that you were looking for a new helper, but isn't this helper a little too weak?" Holding a lacquered wine dish, Hoshiguma Yuki showed his usual heroism on his face smile.That unpretentious, pure to the extreme posture reminded Matou Sakura of the red-haired uncle Fuyuki saw.

Being in a high position but still maintaining the existence of pure thoughts, whether it is humans or monsters, there are very few people nowadays.

Sometimes looking at her, Zi Yakumo would also feel a sense of shame, but she has never been able to do this.

"Her brother is the helper." Yakumozi cleared her emotions, but she also knew that she had forgotten her brother.

"Brother?" After glancing at Matou Sakura, whose race is obviously human, Hoshiguma Yuki waved his hand, "Forget it, let's go first, Cuixiang and Tianma have been waiting inside for a long time."

A group of people quickly passed through the noisy banquet hall and came to the real ghost village.On the way, many half-drunk and half-awake monsters waved to Hoshiguma Yuki to say hello. Among them were not only ghosts, but also monsters of other races, which showed her popularity.

In a wooden house that is not too big or small, they met another ghost king who ruled the ghost clan and was also their old acquaintance—Ibuki Cuixiang.

Since everyone is acquaintances, Yakumo Zi did not engage in hypocritical politeness, and she spoke bluntly after finding a seat to sit down.

"I think the two of you should have learned my reason for coming from my Shikigami."

"Of course." Different from the drunken appearance in the past, although she is still holding the small wine gourd, Ibuki Suika's expression is very serious. It may be too unreal to be unbelievable, but there is an invisible and real coercion It was slowly gushing out from that petite body, covering the entire room in an instant.

Waving her hand in displeasure, Matou Sakura recovered from the coercion, and looked at the little girl who seemed to be about the same age as her with awe-inspiring eyes.

"..." A little embarrassed, Cuixiang noticed that there was a child sitting among them. Although she was a little curious, now is not the time to talk about it.Suika Ibuki asked earnestly, revealing her true face hidden under her usual lazy posture.

"We all know what happened recently. It is related to the survival of the entire monster world. We are also very happy if we can contribute." Knocking on the Nanmu table in front of me, Ibuki Suika narrowed her eyes and looked at Yakumo Zi's eyes. Hitomi.

"However, I want to clarify a very important issue."

"Please tell me." Unfolding the folding fan that appeared suddenly in her hand, Yakumozi gently covered the corner of her mouth with it, and no one could see the expression on the lower half of her face.

"That is, who is the leader of the monster alliance you plan?" After a pause, she continued.

"In the last lunar war, we had enough of the bitter fruit of command chaos. A large number of viable combat forces were blindly spread on the endless front. There was no main direction of attack. Many casualties that could have been avoided were here. It was a messy attack with no target and no center. Although the front line was barely closed for some reason, the elite of the ghost clan could not withstand another damage like the lunar war. If the command power this time is still If it is so chaotic, please forgive our ghost race for not being able to participate in the war, after all, we also want to preserve our race. Instead of dying needlessly, it is better to try to escape from this country shrouded by the royal teeth, at least there is still a sliver of life."

Rarely, Ibuki Suika's voice was angry and deep.But it's no wonder that the ghost race was the main force of the attack in the lunar war, and suffered the heaviest casualties.Even if she knew in advance that this was a secret struggle between the conservatives and the reformers, it would naturally cause many casualties that should not have occurred in a war, but this still made her angry as the ruler of the ghost clan, and it hurt everyone It's her compatriots.

Although almost all the conservative monsters in the last war were killed on the front line and in the subsequent retreat, it was inevitable that there were still a few who escaped by chance and still retained the remnants of the old concept.If a struggle like last time happened again, to what extent would the elite of the ghost clan be killed or injured?

In fact, every war is a political game, war is not the goal, politics is the goal.Having dealt with human beings for so many years, Ibuki Suika naturally understood these simple and easy-to-understand principles.One's own strength is the most powerful pawn in the game. Once the strength is too damaged, even if you get a lot of benefits in the subsequent politics, if you can't recover in a short time, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not lose completely in the next game. , and also lost the fate of the entire race.

The reason why a monster sage can become a monster sage will not suffer any damage in this game anyway, because she is only an individual rather than a group, and she does not need to consider her own group or vested interests.Moreover, without the support of power, but she has the strength to supplement, as long as it does not hurt herself, the benefits obtained will definitely benefit her.Such an unsolvable existence of individuals is like a cheater who is joking to politics, and there are no loopholes or flaws at all.In terms of Yakumo Zi's interpersonal relationship and attitude towards interpersonal relationship, even such indecent means of threatening the people around her are useless.

Do not……

Looking at the human child who had been looking around curiously, Ibuki Suika's thoughts changed.

If the monster sage is holding back, it might be this child...

In fact, before asking the question, Ibuki Suika already knew the answer, but she still wanted to hear Yakumo Zi say it herself.She should understand what she meant, and she should be able to give a satisfactory answer to it, which is an intuition cultivated over the years of friendship.

"Of course it's me." Yakumo Zi is not humble at all. She once said that as a monster, it is never necessary to stick to the so-called virtue ethics of human beings. For them monsters, it is just a boring chain to restrain themselves.But from a political point of view, she is indeed the most suitable candidate.Because apart from her, no monster has enough prestige to command the monster coalition that has almost concentrated the entire Japanese monster powerhouse.Although Yakumo Zi's war on the moon surface ended in failure, Yakumo Zi's performance in the war did convince most of the monster powerhouses (those who dissatisfied died).A large part of the reason for the failure is because of internal constraints and the enemy's strength is too strong.

If you really want to integrate the monsters of Wuji and Qidao, in this process, Yakumo Zi is an indispensable existence...

"Are you sure that guy is around here?"

For the Venerable who was never keen on it, and the God of Lost Night who was at ease, this kind of questioning could only be done by Di Ji.

"The villain dare not lie to the gods. My subordinates have indeed seen him around here. But because they are afraid of his strength, they dare not approach him."

Enduring the other party's contemptuous gaze, the sect master with a smirk on his face didn't want to be troublesome.

However, all this is so ugly to the gods, they can even feel the filth in the heart of this mortal.

"Stupid Fan..." Di Ji's hands were filled with divine power, whether it was real or not, she found this man very unpleasant, but she was grabbed by Mian Yue Yi Ji's wrist.

"Don't worry about it, is it necessary?" Said lightly, Mianyue Yiji, who let go of her hand, stepped forward, and the old man and the man had already walked ahead when they were talking.

"..." Staring at the shivering man in front of her, Di Ji's expression was cloudy, she couldn't break free from the force just now.

"Hmph!" She followed the pace of the gods.

"What a troublesome woman, is this considered a god?" His back was soaked in cold sweat, and he knew that even if he took the initiative to attack, he would not be able to defeat any of them. He seemed to have miscalculated.Those Japanese gods are not good friends.

But who cares, I won't see him again in the future, and the bad luck is the guy who killed Bloody Lord.

Turning around, turning into a phantom and disappearing, footsteps sounded again in the deserted woods.

rustling…

The boots stepped on the fallen leaves, and the visitor made no secret of his presence.

He raised his hand, a hand covered in black cracks.

"Are you sure that guy is around here?"
