In the square between the palace castle and the city gate.
Smoker, who was wearing a dark green police uniform and a black windbreaker, was being besieged by a large number of King's Army soldiers.
These soldiers were covered in blue metal armor and had white capes on their backs.
The weapons in everyone's hands are basically long guns, and a small number of them hold long knives.
This is also directly related to the popularity of breathing techniques.
Nowadays, the five major schools of ‘Demon Slayer Breathing Technique’ are taught even in public primary schools.
It is very easy for other civil forces and organizations to get their hands on it.
As the highest armed force of a kingdom, the King's Army is naturally no exception.
And the purpose of the world government is to make every starfish person know the breathing method.
But for the King's Army, there is one thing that is a bit more tricky.
The weapon they had been practicing for many years was the spear.
The supporting moves of the breathing method are basically based on knives.
Although masters can adjust and improve according to their own needs, where are there so many masters in the king's army?
They can only abandon their guns and pick up knives, learn sword skills from scratch, and then work hard to master the knife styles of the breathing method style.
The various costs involved are indeed not small for most soldiers.
And learning swordsmanship is not something that happens overnight.
So now only those who had a certain foundation in sword skills can use the sword to a greater or lesser extent.
Others only master the 'full concentration' breathing rhythm.
This allows them to temporarily strengthen their cardiopulmonary function through deep breathing during battle, allowing the blood to absorb a large amount of oxygen, thereby improving body functions.
At the same time, according to the school of breathing method, each has its own emphasis on improvement.
Although it does not have the power and elemental effects brought by the knife type, it can still greatly improve the combat effectiveness.
However, there are still some soldiers who are struggling with the issue of giving up their long guns.
This is also a problem that soldiers from other kingdoms in Haixing, or civilians who are not swordsmen, are facing.
To put it bluntly, there is an urgent need for breathing methods that are suitable for other weapons.
This is actually a topic that Zefa's Military and Administrative Department has been focusing on recently.
After all, there are many people in the military who don't like to use knives.
To this end, they plan to recruit strong men who are proficient in various types of long weapons.
Let’s work together to create a set of ‘gun types’ suitable for popularization to the public.
"The breath of wind, the shape of one!"
"Dust whirlwind slash!"
"The breath of fire, type one!"
"Shiranui!"
The two captains of the king's army took advantage of Smoker's whip to kick away more than a dozen soldiers, and launched surprise attacks from the east and west directions.
Suddenly, a ball of blazing fire and a horizontal whirlwind struck Smoker at high speed as he just retracted his right leg.
Although the two people's breathing skills are not high, they rely on the strong physical fitness of the Starfish people.
The attack power is superior to the "Flame Pillar" Ichijo and the "Wind Pillar" Immortal Kawa Saneya in the "original work".
However, facing such a ferocious offensive, Smoker's heart remained unmoved.
He didn't even use his domineering energy. He only relied on the blessings of the 'Iron Block Fist' and 'Rock Breath' to shoot left and right with his fists.
Immediately, the air along the way was blasted away by the power of the fist, creating an explosive sound and surging energy.
Facing the incoming flames and whirlwind.
【clang!!!】
The fist as hard as steel collided with the illusory blade.
A harsh sonorous sound exploded in the field.
Many soldiers nearby showed pain and instinctively covered their ears and retreated.
But how can their pain compare with the two captains who faced the power of fists?
The long knives in the hands of the two men were first shattered on the spot.
Before the flames and whirlwind around him disappeared, the power of the fist was transmitted to the body through the blade and the air.
In an instant, the flesh and blood on the arm was torn to pieces and the bones were broken.
The last bit of remaining energy entered the body, and the internal organs were shocked.
He immediately vomited blood and his body flew out, knocking over several soldiers before falling heavily to the ground.
Only the severe pain in their arms followed closely, tormenting their spirits and will crazily.
"Ahhhhh!"
"Uh-huh, my hand!!"
But this place has turned into a chaotic battlefield, and their screams were ignored.
Smoker kept moving forward and stepped onto the steps leading directly to the palace.
The two fists turned into afterimages and continued to hit the surroundings. The powerful force spurred the air waves to form bursts of fist wind.
The soldiers of the King's Army who stood in front of him, or tried to attack from both sides or behind, were swept away as if by a hurricane.
The swords and guns in their hands were shattered, and their armor was dented and cracked.
The broken blade of the knife flew like bullets, and scarlet blood flew all over the sky.
Bodies flying out like cannonballs kept knocking down unprepared comrades behind them.
Countless wails arose one after another, and were suppressed by the angry killing sounds.
No matter how hard the king's army tried to intercept them, Smog smashed through layers of defenses.
Easily climb all the steps to the platform in front of the castle gate.
Next, we only need to break into the castle, capture King Galilpat, and hand him over to Tanjiro Kamado and his companions to guard him, and then wait for the people from Judiciary Island to come and take him over.
Even if he completed his first independent military police mission in his life.
"Um?"
But just when Smoker looked through the crowd of figures toward the castle gate.
The huge iron door was slowly opening.
I saw a figure 'hiding' in black armor, without any weapons in his hands, and wearing a ghost mask on his face, slowly walking out of the door.
He is very tall, with a height of up to five meters, and a heavy sound will be heard every time he steps on the ground.
Moreover, the aura exuding from his body far exceeds that of the king's troops around him.
Smoker knew that he had met a master.
"Get out of my way, all the bastards, and leave this guy to me, the Spade General!"
The black-armored knight came closer and shouted harshly at the king's army who wanted to continue charging forward.
The soldiers recognized that this was the strong man invited by His Majesty the King, and quickly stopped and retreated.
To be honest, this relieved a lot of people.
They had long ago not wanted to fight Smoker, and there really was no hope of winning.
"Hey, your name is Smoker, right? Let's agree first. If you lose, you will go back immediately. I won't."
But before the Spade General finished speaking, Smoker appeared in front of him instantly.
The clenched right fist hit the dark plate armor like a cannonball.
【Boom!!!】
There was an ear-splitting thump, and a circle of sonic boom mist spread around the point of contact.
I saw that the ground under Smog's feet was cracking under the force of the force, causing cracks like spider webs to spread outward.
General Spades, who didn't react, took four or five steps back, making huge dents with every step he took.
But he didn't fall down after all, but there was an extremely clear fist mark on the armor on his chest.
This scene made Smoker frown slightly and said to himself: "The body is indeed heavy enough, and the quality of the armor is also good."
However, he felt that the other party would not only have this, and of course, he did not try his best.
Someone in the comments suggested not inserting pictures into chapters. What do you think?
