Inuyasha: A Different Kind of Dog General

If one cannot endure even a brief moment of pain, even if one forcibly increases his strength, his combat power cannot be considered strong among the ranks of high-level monsters.

For high-level monsters, it is better to have no Dou Ya than to have too little.

As time passed, the dog demons in the blood pool gradually adapted to this power and began to actively absorb the energy in the blood pool.

Circles of light of different colors appeared around their bodies.

Due to the different natures of the demonic power, the halos sometimes appear deep red, while others flash with emerald green light.

These halos intertwined with each other, making the entire blood pool look like a dream.

Seeing that things were on track, Dou Ya left Qi Tian and Shun Lei Ya, turned around and walked to the ground, and the Red Evil Ghost ran over.

"General, when do we begin our expedition to the west?"

Chapter 73 Don’t worry yet

The morning mist lingered among the cliffs, and the gravel on the edge of the cliff was blown by the wind and rolled into the abyss.

When the red evil ghost knelt on one knee, the armor made a crisp clanging sound.

Her upturned face was gilded by the sunlight shining through the clouds, and her red ponytail was fluttering in the morning breeze.

Amid the sound of the wind blowing from the cliff below, the Red Evil Ghost's deliberately lowered voice still revealed his uncontrollable joy.

"When will the war in the west begin? That depends on the level of your training."

Douya looked at the red evil ghost's eager face and patted her shoulder armor with his palm.

"Once you master Wind Wound and Steel Fist, you can carry the Dog Tribe's banner and dye the clouds of the West crimson."

"Knock open the gates of the mountains with your fists of steel, and carve a path to triumph with the wounds of the wind!"

"As you command, General!"

The Red Demon slammed his fists against his chest armor, and his heart mirror vibrated with a subtle humming sound. "Please grant the regiment a name!"

"The Celestial Beings are the fangs of the Canine Tribe, and you are their sharp claws."

Dou Ya raised his right hand, which was hanging at his side, and the fallen leaves swirling at the bottom of the cliff seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, forming a slowly rotating circulation three feet in front of his palm.

The edges of the withered yellow leaves gradually turned a dark red like rust.

The dog general flicked his finger, and the leaf rings suddenly scattered into red stars all over the sky.

Every red leaf burned in the air, dragging long and thin fire trails across the western sky.

"You are like the red flames that fill the sky, or like huge flags planted in all directions of the Dog Tribe's territory."

"The road beneath my feet is paved with corpses, the wind beside my ears is the whisper of heroic spirits, and I am embarking on a Shura road of no return!"

As the Red Evil Ghost became more and more excited, the sound of Dou Ya mixed with the roar coming from the bottom of the cliff, startling countless black crows that were roosting there.

"The name of the corps is - Ashura Blood Battle Flag!"

"Elder Zi Yan will take over the position of Lord of the Blood Battle Flag!"

………………

"Let me take charge of the bloody battle flag?"

"No, definitely don't!"

In the study of the general's mansion, the purple-haired lady who was enjoying the "Fighting Tooth Energy" at home, learned the news.

Suddenly her eyebrows raised and she rushed over in a hurry.

Zi Yan pushed open the carved wooden door with a bang. Under Ling Yue's secret roll of the eyes, she grabbed the celadon teacup on the table and drank it down with her head tilted back.

The tea slid down his chin, soaking the gold embroidered patterns on his collar.

"Do you think I'm a breathing weapon box? Last time the king asked me to be the Grand Elder, I refused, and now he's using the Blood Battle Flag to try to get me to do something."

Zi Yan's jade-colored fingertips pinched the teacup and slammed it heavily on the table, causing the ink in the inkstone to splash out.

Douya, who had known this would happen, calmly swallowed the ink spots on the document with his demonic power. He was about to speak when his words were cut off.

"I think Qi Tian and Shun Lei Ya are quite good. The newcomers should show more. Transferring them to be elders and letting them work part-time as Blood Battle Flags is also a good idea."

"As for me, it's no problem for me to have an extra sword-carrying guard in the general's mansion. It will give the general a lot of face."

Zi Yan was speaking with great excitement, but suddenly fell silent.

Ling Yue was slowly lifting the tea whisk against the wall of the cup, and the matcha foam piled up into emerald clouds between her fingers.

When the eyes reflecting the cherry blossoms outside the window swept over, even the green smoke wafting from the gilded incense burner on the desk froze for a moment.

Zi Yan coughed, and quickly moved her delicate body, which was getting closer and closer to Dou Ya, a little further away, and said seriously.

"General, I think the name Blood Battle Flag sounds majestic and quite suitable for our dog tribe."

"It's just not suitable for me. Tianzhong is quite suitable for me. Just let me be stationed in Cangya Camp."

Stationed at Cangya Camp?

That place is only about a hundred kilometers away from Shanya City.

Not to mention the big monsters, even an average high-level monster at full speed would only take seven or eight minutes.

Ling Yue can only take seven minutes at most, and she can be even faster in the future.

If something really happens in the Cangya Camp, there are other dog demons who can handle it.

So, why don’t you say you’re stationed at the General’s Mansion?

Oh, you just said that.

She looked at Zi Yan, who looked composed, and calmly poured tea for Dou Ya in a new cup, then spoke softly.

"Elder Zi Yan, please don't get so emotional. The general's arrangements certainly have their own reasons."

Ling Yue took the teacup that Zi Yan had just drunk from, poured tea into it, and pointed to the chair in front of the table.

"Sit down and have some tea first, then we can talk slowly."

Zi Yan opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopped herself, and finally sat down opposite obediently.

"It's really a curse!"

Zi Yan was a little confused——

Even in front of the Dog King, she had the courage to say "no".

But in front of Ling Yue, who was younger than her, she was like a big fish eating a small fish and could not muster the courage to resist.

Is this the power of the wife who is about to be married to a childhood sweetheart?

Horror!

Zi Yan, who had settled down, had some of the dignified demeanor of an elder.

Under the slightly resentful gaze of the purple-haired lady, Douya took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"I know you're anxious, but don't be hasty. The Asura troops can't go out without a month or two of running-in and settling in."

Among this batch of demon-patterned magatama, Dou Ya did not participate in the cultivation and comprehension.

It simply gave them the essence of demonic power, raising their strength to the level of intermediate monsters.

The Celestials are a cutting-edge military force that is specifically trained, while the Asuras are a large army that is left alone and allowed to refine real gold through blood.

Douya will only pay more attention to the outstanding ones.

He also plans to promote new celestial beings from the Asuras in the future.

In the past, if anyone among the celestial beings relied on their status to make a living, Dou Ya would kick them out without mercy, severely deprive them of everything, and serve as a warning to others!

Running water never stagnates, and door hinges never rot. The wisdom of the ancestors is enough for Douya to have a long-term vision, to manage his dog tribe step by step, and even the future Takama-ga-hara.

Therefore, it takes a lot of time and energy for the current Ashura members to learn Wind Wound and Steel Fist, especially the former.

This will also allow Douya to see their qualifications, making it easier for future selections.

Even when their power develops to a certain extent, there are some who are not of the dog clan but are closely related to the dog clan, such as the demon clan like Crow Tengu, or those with outstanding talents and extremely strong strength.

He would also consider bringing them into the celestial race to increase the competitive pressure and development momentum within the dog tribe.

Avoid them from developing narrow-minded ideas like "this position should be mine".

The celestial beings can act cruelly when outside, but they must never be stupid!

At the same time, we must not allow the celestial beings to develop a lazy dependence on Dou Ya. We need to let them understand that the greater the effort, the greater the reward.

"I thought we were leaving immediately. After a month or two of hiatus, I'll reluctantly take charge of the Blood Battle Flag."

Dou Ya looked at Zi Yan who agreed reluctantly, and his eyes twitched.

If the Red Evil Ghost knew how the Third Elder treated Asura, his tail hair would probably stand on end and he would choose to fight with her.

"But when I think about the fact that I won't be able to see the general for several months or even years after the Ashura troops go to war, I don't want to go anymore."

As Zi Yan was talking, her tail listlessly drooped from behind the seat to the ground, making a rustling sound.

The other person's ears twitched, causing Ling Yue's fingertips holding the cup to curl slightly, and a hint of joy flashed in the corners of her eyes.

In her heart, she fully supported Douya's decision.

The power structure of the Dog Clan in the west is complex. To the west are Kyushu [Fifty-three Demons Night Parade], and the intentions of the powerful foreign demon are also unclear.

To the south is Shikoku's [Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade], and the more powerful Tengu Mountain, whose attitude is still unclear.

The mermaids of the Seto Inland Sea between the two are also a threat that cannot be underestimated for high-level monsters.

The three are intertwined, and the high-level monsters sent out have to not only fight and kill, but also figure out the twists and turns inside.

Otherwise, if the dog tribe were targeted by the big monsters from the other two countries, the leopard cat clan would wake up laughing in his dreams.

Therefore, Zi Yan, who was arranged to go out, will not be able to return to Shanya City in a short time. After Ling Yue knew Dou Ya's arrangement, she ate two more bites of cherry blossom cake happily.

Ling Yue was happy in her heart and didn't mind Zi Yan's teasing of Dou Ya.

She lowered her eyes and blew lightly on the tea, her fingertips carefully tracing along the golden edge of the cup, and the corners of her lips curled up in a very shallow arc.

Then Ling Yue said comfortingly.

"Sister Zi Yan is the elder of the clan, and you have indeed worked hard and made great contributions."
