Inuyasha: A Different Kind of Dog General

Even the strongest Minamoto no Yoshi clan had no intention of fighting. A white flag had been raised in the Mermaid Palace before the Dog Clan arrived.

Chapter 89 The Growth of the Ashura Army, Zi Yan's Return

Xiguo, the entrance to the west coast.

An elite force composed entirely of mid-level monsters, covered in blood and full of murderous intent, arrived at the meeting point.

The leading [Ashura] commander Yuu Yanwan raised his eyes and looked forward.

At this time, three Asura troops were gathering at the shore where the waves were rolling.

One of them is none other than the Red Evil Ghost's army, and the other two are led by outstanding dog demons who stood out in the battle to clear out the western region.

One of them is named Kentomaru.

As the name suggests, his whole body is like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath. Just looking at him can make the weak feel torn apart.

In a recent battle, he killed three mid-level monsters with a single move of Wind Wound. After the battle, he was promoted to the position of commander by Elder Zi Yan, the military leader of [Asura Blood Battle Flag].

The other person is good at using the power of ice and snow. He is Binglanwan, who was defeated in a sparring match with the red evil ghost in the dog fortress and became braver after learning from his mistakes.

The icy power, which was a bit weak in the past, gained great benefits in the blood pool.

By fusing the Easter egg left by Douya with the demonic essence of the leopard cat Donglan, Binglanwan's strength is now incomparable.

The powerful freezing force is extremely powerful in the battlefield of intermediate monsters.

Elder Zi Yan took a liking to him at first sight.

In the subsequent campaigns, a series of magnificent victories led to Binglan Wan gaining the reputation of being the deputy commander of the Blood Battle Flag.

The Red Evil Ghost was also competing secretly. As his fighting spirit grew, he became three points calmer than before.

"Yuyanwan, you're here just in time."

Binglanwan, who arrived first along the shore, had a personality that was completely opposite to his cold demonic power.

He raised the grilled fish in his hand and called out loudly.

“The sea fish here has a unique flavor even without salt.”

Beside the blazing bonfire, the forty-member Ashura army sat together in a circle according to their personalities and preferences.

Yu Yanwan walked into the command circle, sat on the stone prepared in advance, picked up the grilled fish in front of him, and took a few bites in silence.

The other three looked at Yuyanwan, who had the worst performance, and didn't say much.

There are good and bad things in the world. Apart from working hard and seeing things through yourself, no one else can help you.

The Red Demon ate the grilled fish, skin and bones included, and swallowed it. He raised his handsome sword-like eyebrows and said, "Binglanwan, everyone is here, it's time to divide up our remaining targets."

Her voice was filled with joy. "I was hoping that after this battle, I could go to the tribe's territory to see the bone knife made from the corpse of the ocelot lord, and then hunt down the ocelots in the east!"

The news of Oyakata's death has spread.

The dog tribe possesses the illustrious martial arts of two great monsters, and is well-known in neighboring countries!

"The fact that the Lord Military Commander hasn't sent a message basically means that the Ashura troops are no longer needed in the east. The enemy we are facing next is not a ragtag group of soldiers, so we need to take them seriously."

Although he was defeated in a normal sparring match, Binglanwan did not feel any hatred towards the Red Evil Ghost, but instead felt deep gratitude.

If it weren't for the Red Evil Ghost, he wouldn't have signed up for the Ashura Corps and undergone a complete transformation.

Binglanwan glanced at Jiandouwan who was listening quietly, and Yuyanwan who had no intention of speaking, and the demonic power in his palm floated in the air, condensing into an ice crystal map, and continued speaking.

"In our crackdown plan, there are three forces that cannot be ignored."

"In the southwest, there are forces outside the Kyushu [Fifty-three Demon Night Parade]."

"In the southeast, there are forces outside the Shikoku [Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade]."

"We don't know the details of these two extra-official forces backed by powerful monsters yet, so we need to be cautious."

Bing Lanwan paused, and after seeing the three people digest his words, he continued.

"The third one is in the Seto Inland Sea not far from us. It has five high-level monsters who are mermaids."

"The Lord Military Commander said that the final battle requires not only force but also wisdom and strategy, because the enemy will also assess the situation and make corresponding judgments."

Hyoranmaru smiled, "Under the might of the Admiral and the King, perhaps we can end this war without even having to fight."

"We should always assume the worst case scenario. Binglanwan, will the military commander and the Tianzhong masters come?" Jiandouwan, a ruthless man of few words, went straight to the core of the current situation.

Everyone understood what he meant.

The forces of foreign countries whose strength is unknown are a difficulty, and the mermaids whose strength is clear are also a difficulty. With only the current Ashura troops, it would be a drop in the bucket to fill them all.

"The last time the Lord Military Commander contacted me was yesterday evening."

Binglanwan pondered for a moment and then said, "The master has returned to the clan land to report the information on the cleanup battle."

Then he shook his head and said, "As for the Lord of the Heavenly Beings, I don't know."

At this moment, Yu Yanwan suddenly spoke, "Hong Xiegui, do you know where Master Qitian is?"

"The missions of the Heavenly Lords are only for the generals, and they are all confidential. How would I know?"

The Red Evil Ghost glanced at Yu Yan Wan and said, "Don't you know about this kind of thing?"

"Forgot, forgot."

Yu Yanwan replied awkwardly, then lowered his head to eat the cold grilled fish.

The other three people did not take this little incident seriously. Not long after lunch, waves appeared on the beach.

A huge amount of demonic energy rose from the sea, alerting the Ashura troops.

Looking at the mermaids floating on the sea, the leaders were two high-level mermaids, one male and one female, dressed in luxurious clothes.

Behind them were a large group of sea monsters, which made the Asuras look serious, but they did not show any fear.

Their current status is the same as that of the United States’ troops stationed in Japan.

I can hit you, but you can't hit me.

Passionate speeches, righteous and heroic words, and thought-provoking speeches.

Even when put together, they are no match for the great monster's icy blade.

Moreover, Binglanwan and others are not weaklings who have no ability to resist.

They had all experienced the baptism in the clan's holy pool, and there was a faint tendency for them to resonate with demonic power.

When a team of ten people work together, their combat power is already close to that of high-level monsters.

The mermaid leader Minamoto no Yoshitomo looked at the mighty and high-spirited elite of the dog clan. A phantom of a cloud dog seemed to emerge from the connection of their demonic powers, which made his heart tighten.

The attitude that was originally intended to be low-key was lowered even more.

"I, Minamoto no Yoshitomo, leader of the mermaids, seek an audience with the elders of your army. I wish to travel to Yamaguchi Castle and submit my intention to submit."

There were several slight collisions of scabbards and armor around the campfire, and the soldiers exchanged complicated looks - there was a mixture of relief at the victory without bloodshed, and regret at the failure of military achievement.

The Asura military merit system directly points out the path for their upward progress.

Now the surrender of the mermaids in the Seto Inland Sea has almost announced that a large amount of merit has disappeared.

Facing the slightly strange gazes of the Ashura tribe, the mermaids couldn't help but feel a chill on their necks. Even the high-level monsters Mikawa Fujichiyo and Hei Zhangwan were a little scared.

"I am Binglanwan, one of the Ashura commanders, and I will temporarily take over the position of commanding the army."

Binglanmaru walked out of the crowd, looked at the four high-level monsters opposite, and thought about the current situation, and spoke loudly.

"Our military commander has returned to the city of Yamaguchi. Since Your Excellency Minamotoyoshi is willing to surrender, I believe he wouldn't mind making an act of surrender."

"As it should be."

Minamoto no Yoshitomo, who had already reviewed various possible scenarios, was fully aware of Hyōranmaru's request and agreed without any hesitation.

"Commander Binglanwan, if you don't mind, please come to my Mermaid Palace and discuss the next matters in detail."

Binglanwan exchanged glances with the other three. Yuyanwan was silent, Jiandouwan was indifferent, and Hongxiegui was excited.

But considering the rumored methods of mermaids to deceive people, Binglanwan declined.

"Thank you for the invitation, Your Excellency Minamotoyoshi. If you have anything to say, please feel free to discuss it here."

Minamoto no Yoshitomo agreed and immediately arranged for people to go to the Mermaid Palace and bring back delicacies from the seabed.

The Ashura army and the mermaids, in an undisguised alliance, were carried by the wind and spread across the coast of the Seto Inland Sea.

………………

Dog Clan, City of Mountain Teeth.

Moss-covered stalactites hang from the dome, and condensed water droplets fall along the stone tips into the deep pool, weaving a fine rain curtain deep in the cave.

The two women walked on the puddled rock slabs, the light from the bronze lampstands tearing their reflections into rippling silk.

The footsteps of the woman on the left were as clear as broken jade, and the teeth of her hardwood clogs struck the rock surface with a precise rhythm.

The footsteps coming from the right were warm and muffled.

When the short boots soaked in spring water rolled over the crevices of the rocks, they would always make a small gurgling sound with the accumulated water, and their owner would still hum a cheerful little tune.

Ling Yue, who was leading the way on the side, glanced at Zi Yan with her bright golden eyes without emotion——

The water vapor in the cave seemed to condense into a veil around Zi Yan, illuminating her hazy outline.

She was wearing a pure purple long skirt that perfectly fitted her plump figure. Whenever she walked, the slight breeze caused the hem of her skirt to lift slightly.

The fair skin emerged from under the dark purple gauze, like the first snow under the sun.

Ling Yue understood completely——

This woman's real purpose was not to report intelligence at all, but to seduce her own man.

Will Douya be seduced?

Just kidding, of course I’d be seduced!

She wanted to try out the beauty of it swaying with every step and see how soft it was.

"I shouldn't have believed this 'sister's nonsense' in the first place. This important information is just bullshit!"

While Ling Yue was secretly learning from her mistakes, Zi Yan was also sizing up her appearance.
