Chapter 74 The Island Nation's Military Suffers Heavy Losses!
In the rear command post.
"Sir, the situation at the front is dire; over a hundred soldiers have already died at the hands of that traitor!"
An officer knelt on one knee as he spoke, his face filled with fear.
"Hundreds of people have died in just a few minutes?"
Dashanyan was greatly surprised upon hearing this.
"Sir, that traitor can use his fingers to flick lead bullets for long-range attacks."
These lead bullets were exceptionally powerful; they could easily pierce the helmets of our soldiers from a distance of three cho (approximately 1.5 meters).
As he spoke, the officer held up a helmet stained with blood.
A huge hole was visible on one side of the helmet, demonstrating just how terrifying the lead bullet was.
"It can actually hit our soldiers from a distance of three jun (a unit of distance), and with such immense power?"
As he spoke, Da Shanyan's face was extremely gloomy.
An enemy with superb swordsmanship is not scary.
It's simply because soldiers don't just stand there and take a beating; they run away, turn around and fire, and throw grenades and bombs in retaliation.
Therefore, no matter how skilled the enemy is with swordsmanship or how strong their close combat ability is, the number of enemies they can kill is ultimately limited.
But if the enemy has ranged attack capabilities, then it's a completely different story.
The difference is even more pronounced when it can attack targets three towns away and penetrate steel helmets three towns away.
After all, the distance of these three towns is converted into a distance of 327 meters in Chinese units!
This distance is so far, it would take 4 minutes just to walk there normally.
Moreover, at such a great distance, even an adult would only appear to be the size of a fly.
Therefore, to hit an enemy 327 meters away, you must use a special sniper rifle with a scope, plus excellent marksmanship.
Otherwise, hitting a target that's barely bigger than a fly from a distance of 327 meters would be extremely difficult.
Now that traitor can kill soldiers from 327 meters away, and he can even hit the soldiers' heads with precision.
This is absolutely terrifying; if there were more enemies like this, it would be a disaster.
"Get the Third and Second Divisions here to reinforce us immediately! We must eliminate this traitor!"
"yes!"
As Oyama Iwao's order was relayed, the 3rd and 4th Divisions on the left and right flanks were immediately mobilized.
Only a portion of the soldiers remained on site to continue guarding the isolation zone and prevent Li Ke's men from breaking through it.
At this moment, a young officer stepped forward and knelt on one knee, suggesting, "Sir, I suggest that the special forces and the Twelve Demon Moons be sent to intercept the enemy immediately."
Otherwise, if we continue fighting like this, our casualties will be too great.
Hundreds of people died in just a few minutes. If the fighting continues, the number of deaths will be a chilling figure.
"no."
Oyama Iwao shook his head, his eyes resolute, and said, "We can't let the special forces and the Twelve Demon Moons go into battle. Now is not the time for them to be deployed!"
For this campaign against Yunqu Mountain, the military formulated a plan to advance steadily and gradually erode the enemy's territory.
In this plan, they considered a variety of unexpected events and possibilities, one of which was the possibility that the traitor might force a breakout.
This possibility of a forced breakout is actually what the military would most like to see.
It's because even creatures like ghosts get tired and fatigued; they're not perpetual motion machines.
The soldiers on the front lines have exhausted Li Ke's physical and mental strength, and Li Ke's ability to resist will naturally become weaker and weaker.
Therefore, now is not the best time for the special forces and the Twelve Ghost Moons to make their move. Making a move now will only scare Li Ke away, and all their efforts will be in vain.
"Ugh."
The young officer sighed inwardly, but ultimately didn't dare to say anything.
After all, Da Shanyan was the man who orchestrated the massacre in Lushun and was a notorious butcher.
If he continues to persuade him, Oyama Iwao might use the pretext of undermining morale to have him executed on the spot, and then his death would be in vain.
Inside the Infinite Castle, the Twelve Demon Moons and hundreds of military demons eagerly awaited Muzan's order to attack.
From Nakime's perspective, Muzan is also observing the situation on the battlefield.
When he saw Li Ke slaughtering those ordinary soldiers, he immediately revealed a mocking smile.
-
"Go ahead and squander that energy as you please. I don't believe that this energy is infinite."
When your energy is almost depleted, that's your end.
Thinking of this, Muzan's lips curled slightly, revealing the look of someone eyeing prey.
After all, the reason he established the Twelve Ghost Moons and cooperated with the military was to use cannon fodder to deplete the enemy's physical and mental strength.
As for whether to fight or run after exhausting the enemy's physical and mental strength, that's another matter entirely.
Inside the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
With Yushiro's perfect combination of Blood Demon Art and Crow, the Demon Slayer Corps Pillars, who were observing the battlefield situation, all frowned.
"To slaughter ordinary soldiers like this is utterly unforgivable; he truly is a demon king capable of destroying the world!"
After witnessing this scene, the Wind Pillar, Sanemi Shinazugawa, was furious, and the talisman on his forehead almost fell to the ground in anger.
"This is so pitiful."
The rock pillar, Jimeijima, silently shed tears, mourning the soldiers on the front lines whose lives were constantly being taken by bullets and blades.
-
With the help of Yushiro's Blood Demon Art and the perspective of the crow, Gyomei Himejima saw what the world looked like for the first time.
But the scene he saw for the first time was so bloody that it made Himejima Gyomei even more pained and sad.
"Oh, there's absolutely no need for that."
Shuizhu Fufeng Yiyong frowned slightly, feeling that Li Ke had gone a bit too far.
Although those ordinary soldiers were indeed attacking Li Ke, Li Ke only needed to escape and avoid them; there was no need for such a large-scale massacre of soldiers.
Li Ke's actions can be considered a deliberate act of revenge.
It can only be said that different national stances lead to completely different perspectives on things.
These island nation soldiers were fine as long as they didn't cause trouble for Li Ke, but once they did, it gave Li Ke a reason to kill.
After all, Li Ke had no good feelings towards the islanders, especially towards the island soldiers of this period.
If it weren't for his mental block, Li Ke would have immediately killed all the island nation soldiers to eliminate future troubles.
After all, the soldiers of the island nation at that time were simply a bunch of beasts.
Now that he has the opportunity and reason to take action, how could Li Ke possibly hold back?
Naturally, we'd kill them all on sight!
As the fight progressed, Li Ke ran out of the hundreds of lead bullets he carried, and his blade had become somewhat dull.
But Li Ke did not stop his rampage!
If you don't have a sword, then seize the officer's katana and keep killing!
If there are no lead bullets, then seize the bullets from the soldiers to use as projectiles!
This naturally caused Oyama Iwao's hands to tremble, as the sacrifices made by their island nation's military were simply too great.
In the span of just over an hour, nearly two thousand soldiers had died at Li Ke's hands.
Their only achievement was to add a few more holes to Li Ke's clothes.
Thanks to Rick's healing abilities as an Upper Moon demon, this damage was nothing more than a slight stain on his clothes.
However, with the arrival of the Third and Fourth Divisions to provide support, they joined forces with the Second Division to form an encirclement.
Oyama Iwao's mood finally improved, and his expression gradually turned ferocious.
Surrounded by three divisions totaling 5.4 men, he didn't believe Li Ke could break through the encirclement.
This traitor's fate is sealed!
