Chapter 2620 Your opponent is me!
[Bang! Bang! Bang!]
One heavy metal hatch after another crashed onto the concrete floor.
These spaceships, like giant beasts forced to vomit, dumped all their 'cargo' into this urban area, only three kilometers from General City.
The Kiheitai samurai, who could no longer contain themselves, held gleaming swords.
A long-suppressed growl escaped from their throats, bursting forth in a frenzy.
They wore samurai outfits of different colors, with their lower bodies covered by black masks.
His eyes burned with fighting spirit and a twisted loyalty to Takasugi Shinsuke.
The streets were deserted, with only abandoned vehicles parked haphazardly.
"kill!"
"Target the Shogunate! Take the Shogun's head!"
It's unclear who started shouting.
Nearly a thousand demon warriors converged into a chaotic and surging black tide.
They ran wildly along the wide but desolate main road toward the faint outline of the city wall in the distance.
In an instant, hurried footsteps, shouts of fighting, and heavy breathing echoed between the buildings.
However, just as they had rushed out about a kilometer and were about to reach the intersection...
【call out---!】
A sharp whistle that seemed to tear the air apart.
It attacked from the far distance without warning.
That speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of visual capture.
Most of the Kiheitai samurai only had time to hear the sound.
Then I saw a companion rushing to the front.
His chest suddenly exploded, spraying blood mixed with flesh and shredded cloth.
The fervor on his face froze instantly, replaced by incredulous bewilderment.
He then collapsed to the ground without a sound, his body gradually becoming stained red with blood.
"what?!"
"Arrows! There are archers!"
"where is it?"
Panic erupted like a drop of water thrown into a frying pan, instantly spreading among the Ghost Soldier's vanguard.
They frantically searched for cover, their eyes darting forward in alarm or scanning the towering rooftops of the surrounding buildings.
But the other party had no intention of hiding their location.
A denser and more precise rain of deadly arrows flew in from directly in front!
Each arrow was entwined with a pale blue energy stream.
Like a venomous snake with eyes, it deliberately burrows into the most densely populated areas.
Each time was accompanied by a short scream and a muffled thud as flesh was pierced.
These arrows were incredibly powerful.
It can even penetrate walls and vehicles, and only exhaust itself after two or three people have passed through it.
In less than ten seconds, more than twenty Oni soldiers fell in pools of blood, their deaths gruesome, and they never even saw what the enemy looked like before they died.
"Bastard!"
A sharp shout rang out, and a pink figure leaped into the air from the back of the group like a whirlwind.
With two pistols in hand and eyes as sharp as an eagle, Matako Kurushima used her amazing dynamic vision and intuition to spot the two arrows that were coming again.
"Don't think about it!"
She was in mid-air, arms outstretched. Without needing to aim, almost the instant she locked onto her target, her two guns spewed out angry tongues of fire.
Specially designed rapid-fire bullets whistled out and precisely intercepted the arrows.
Almost at the same time.
A steady, resonant sound rang out as a string was plucked.
Kawakami Bansei, holding a shamisen in one hand and a katana in the other, appeared at the front of the group like a ghost.
A flash of light swept through the air, slicing down an unusual arrow.
Wan Qi's face did not relax as a result.
"How are these arrows able to have a stable whirlwind attached to them?"
"Such terrifying range and accuracy must also be related to it."
Before long, under the cover of the two officers, the Ghost Soldier Team finally broke through this terrifying distance.
The view ahead suddenly opened up.
It was a large parking lot that had been emptied.
At the other end of the parking lot.
A thin defensive line, made of white and dark blue, was already quietly waiting for them.
The enemy force numbered no more than a hundred, which seemed insignificant compared to the nearly one thousand members of the Ghost Soldier Corps.
But their casual posture, cold demeanor, and uniform style created a pressure far heavier than their numbers.
Four junior officers of different races and with distinct personalities, all wearing cloaks of justice.
They stood at the very front of this naval force, watching intently.
In the center is a Sky Island dweller with two pure white wings on his back and a handsome, serious face.
He was Captain Basen, and also the company commander.
To his left is a human swordsman with a long sword at his waist and a resolute gaze.
Lieutenant Cass.
His breathing was long and deep, and there was a faint mist of water vapor flowing around him.
Slightly to the right is a tall, slender, blond-haired high elf holding a magnificent longbow.
Second Lieutenant Da'an.
He continued to rapidly shoot targets within his perception range.
Each time you draw the bow, it will automatically generate a wooden arrow and imbue it with wind magic.
Clearly, the previous long-range sniping kill was carried out by him.
On the far right is a majestic figure, half-human and half-horse, over 2.5 meters tall, wielding a crescent-shaped blade.
Lieutenant Sutton.
He snorted, his hooves pawing the ground impatiently, glancing at Lieutenant Daan every now and then.
They've already amassed quite a few achievements before the battle even started, which is truly enviable.
"Enter the enemy!"
"Free attack!"
As the Ghost Squad came into view, Captain Basen immediately gave a loud order.
next moment.
This seemingly sparse force of a hundred men unleashed a fighting power that terrified the samurai.
Lieutenant Cass drew his longsword, its light cascading like mercury, carrying a rhythmic and powerful force like the tides.
Wherever they went, the swords and blades of the demon soldiers broke like rotten wood, and those who wielded them were either killed or injured.
The "Breathing of Water" technique, combined with sword skills, possesses both area-of-effect damage and exquisite defense, allowing one person to block more than a dozen people.
Lieutenant Daan no longer pursues powerful long-range sniping.
Instead, he used wind magic to create two wind arms on his body.
With a flurry of movements, four arms created dazzling afterimages as the bow was drawn in succession.
In an instant, like a torrential rain of pear blossoms, a dense curtain of arrows formed, frantically shooting down the warriors charging at the forefront.
Then Lieutenant Sutton let out an excited screech.
With all four hooves exerting force.
Its massive body exhibits astonishing speed and impact.
He brandished the crescent-shaped blade with its burning flame effect.
It was like a heavy tank crashing into the densest area of the demon soldiers.
Where the blade flashed, both man and blade shattered, leaving behind a pile of severed limbs.
Captain Basen, the company commander, flew into the air using his wings and shot countless white feathers at the crowd, causing endless screams.
Even ordinary naval soldiers possess individual qualities far exceeding those of the Kiheitai samurai.
They are proficient in different sword techniques, physical skills, telekinesis, and breathing techniques, and they work together seamlessly.
They are often able to defeat a larger force with a smaller one and quickly overthrow their opponents.
The battle turned into a one-sided, crushing victory from the very beginning.
The sheer number of the Ghost Soldiers' advantage seemed utterly ridiculous.
In just a few minutes of contact, the Ghost Squad suffered heavy casualties, and their morale collapsed at a visible speed.
"How is this possible?!"
As Matako Kurushima fired her twin pistols at Lieutenant Daan's wind arrows, she watched incredulously as her own warriors fell like wheat being harvested.
Kawakami Mansaki's expression was equally grave.
He swung his sword, slicing away two approaching naval soldiers, and said in a deep voice, "They are completely different from how they are portrayed in the comics."
"Moreover, the 'Flame Breathing' and 'Wind Breathing' mentioned are clearly breathing techniques from 'Demon Slayer.' What's going on?"
"Also, I don't remember any elves or centaurs existing in One Piece!"
But in any case, now is not the time to dwell on these things.
Kitashima Matako and Kawakami Bansei exchanged glances across the distance.
They both saw the determination in each other's eyes; they had to take the lead in defeating the enemy.
Otherwise, the Ghost Soldier Team would be completely defeated here.
It's also time for 'Red Tassel' to be planted.
Just as Wan Qi's fingers touched the strings, You Zi finished reloading his twin guns.
When they were preparing to eliminate officers like Sutton and Daan to turn the tide of the war.
【Boom! 】
A dark shadow descended from the sky like a meteorite, accompanied by terrifying wind pressure and a deafening roar.
It crashed heavily onto the open ground between the two battle lines.
The solid concrete street was instantly smashed into a spiderweb-like crater with a diameter of more than five meters.
The violent shockwave blew away more than a dozen Oni soldiers who were fighting nearby, as well as several naval soldiers.
The dust and debris shot into the sky, obscuring everyone's view.
At the same time, a deep, resonant voice, tinged with a mix of mockery and confidence, reached people's ears from the center of the smoke and dust:
"Those two guys over there who look somewhat decent."
"Your opponent—"
"it's me."
