On a dark night, the stars sunk above the cloud cover, and a blood-red red moon embedded in the night sky was so weird and enchanting that it exuded a terrifying aura.
The sound of heavy footsteps resounded in the deep and silent land. Under the reflection of the bloody moon, the vast ground was covered in darkness, and countless huge figures were heading towards the distant Mount Fuji.
On the other side, in the opposite direction, there was also a large group of huge figures moving, and the direction they were aiming for happened to be Mount Fuji, with both sides approaching at equal speeds.
On the watchtower of the camp.
"Ming Lu, why does the moon turn red tonight?"
Emily pointed at the blood-red moon. It was so different from the usual bright and quiet moon that it felt scary to look at it.
Ye Minglu leaned on the railing and looked up. The blood-red moon seemed to exude fear, and the surrounding scenery was dyed red because of it. His brown eyes reflected the round red moon, and he murmured: "
Blood moon?”
From ancient times to the present, the blood-colored moon has represented an ominous omen. In the past, zombie movies have explained that the blood-like feeling is described as a sign that there will be a bloody disaster that night.
"Maybe it's the weather, it's best not to happen..." Ye Minglu stared at the moon intently, and the more he looked at it, the more uneasy he felt.
"Ming Lu..." Emily looked at Ye Ming Lu's stern face with doubtful eyes. After seeing the strange moon, Ye Ming Lu's expression began to become gloomy, and he hesitated to say something she didn't understand. Suddenly
I feel uneasy.
Jie Xin stared at Ye Minglu's dumbfounded look, chose the simplest method, pulled him, and said: "Minglu, what are you thinking about?"
"Uh... Jie Xin!" Ye Minglu came to his senses and said sheepishly: "Sorry, there is a legend in our country that the red moon represents an unlucky symbol, and the red moon is the most overcast and cold phase.
, it indicates that the righteousness in the world is weakening, the evil is strong, the viciousness is the strongest, and tragedies are happening one after another, such as the appearance of demons and monsters, which is a sign of great misfortune.”
"Don't scare me, I...I'm not afraid of ghosts..."
When Emily heard the words "ghost", she trembled all over and didn't dare to look up to the sky anymore. She remembered that she was almost frightened when she went to a haunted house not long ago, let alone discussing the topic of ghosts under the blood moon.
On the other hand, Jie Xin looked at the gloomy red moon very calmly. In fact, in her eyes, the moon looked very beautiful, but it was a bit strangely beautiful.
"Haha, it's actually just a folk legend. There are the same legends in many countries. For example, Europeans believe that the blood moon will awaken dark magic, and Indians think it is a sign of disaster." Ye Minglu laughed, Emily was showing
It's when you're scared that you look particularly cute.
"Where did the red moon come from?" Jie Xin asked, tilting her head.
"A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon completely enters the middle shadow part of the earth. There are three types of lunar eclipses. The other two are semi-lunar eclipse and partial lunar eclipse. This total lunar eclipse is the most spectacular one, showing a dim and
The beautiful blood red color has been verified by science, so don’t be afraid." Ye Minglu explained, but he always felt a little uneasy. Although these words were true, it was unclear whether they had any foreshadowing, but it could comfort Emily.
Young mind, how young can an elf over a hundred years old be? Ye Minglu laughed at himself in his heart.
"Is that so?" Emily asked again in disbelief.
"Yes. Besides, there are no ghosts in the world. If there are, they are demon hunters." Ye Minglu smiled.
After reconfirming the not-so-exaggerated legend, Emily felt much more at ease, but the remaining topics made her dare not look at the beautiful blood moon.
They made a lot of summaries of the previous three days of training. Fighting against S-class demon hunters is not just playing tricks. After the three-day special training, Luo Tianyang and Okris were busy in the command room all day, leaving the rest of the time
Ye Minglu and others played freely.
In the summer, enjoying the cool air on a high watchtower is indeed the best choice. After spending most of the day training, it is a rare opportunity to come here to enjoy the night breeze and relax your tension.
Emily and Jiexin also fell asleep sitting on the pillars of the watchtower without knowing it. Ye Minglu looked at their sleeping faces and felt that if he had the ability, he really wanted to fight the demon hunter general.
I can defeat them, but I don't want to die with the demon hunter by self-destruction, so I protect the two of them.
"I took a comfortable bath. It seems like there's nothing special tonight. I'd better go to bed early!"
Modi came out of the bathroom, wearing only a pair of underwear. He usually wears white outfits and ordinary clothes that show no muscles. He looks thin and has a slim figure, with four-pack abs and elbow muscles prominent.
"Yananjun, Minglu hasn't come back yet? I've been out for a few hours. Is the scenery outside so beautiful?" Modi put on white clothes and found Chiba Yanan reading comic books in the boys' room, while Shali
Tatsu was exercising with dumbbells, while Ayase Tento was concentrating with his eyes closed.
"I have a good relationship with the contracted elves. It's better to be together than with gay friends like us!" Chiba Yanan looked at the comic book, answered Modi's words, and suddenly giggled.
Modi shrugged, tidied up the bed and walked out.
The huge figures heading to the side of Mount Fuji stopped one after another. Using the light of the blood-red moon, they could see countless minotaurs, werewolves with fangs and sharp teeth, etc.
"We have arrived at the predetermined location. We are still five kilometers away from Mount Fuji. Sir Sirofeiton, what should we do now?" One-eyed Tiger Demon Hunter serves as the second-in-command deputy, with an army of more than 20,000 demon hunters behind him.
The demon-hunting army was fully armed and stood there, waiting for the demon-hunting general to give the command. The elf envoy's warning line was within three kilometers. If they continued to advance, they would easily be intercepted in advance. By then, they would not be close to Mount Fuji.
"Dilius will send us a signal as soon as he reaches the predetermined position, and we will charge at the fastest speed." Ciro Feton said calmly.
"Ming Lu? You actually sleep here."
Modi went to the ground and after searching for a long time, there was no sign of Ye Minglu except for the elf messengers guarding the area. He went to the watchtower and found him.
Ye Minglu was sleeping against the pillar at this time, and Jue Xin and Emily beside him were also sleeping soundly.
"I slept so peacefully!" Modi said softly. He thought Ye Minglu wouldn't notice, but he still seemed to be alarmed.
"Modi, why are you here?"
Ye Minglu slowly opened his eyes and checked his phone. He only slept for half an hour!
"Let's see what you are doing. It turns out you are sleeping with me. I thought you would sleep like a dead pig!" Modi spread his hands with a wry smile.
"It's so ugly to say it, but let's get down to business, how do you feel about the red moon in the sky." Ye Minglu pursed his lips.
Modi looked at the dark sky in confusion, where the blood-like full moon hung and reflected the bloody light. The first thought in his mind was a total lunar eclipse, but could a total lunar eclipse be so scary?
"It must be some abnormal situation that caused this total lunar eclipse to mutate. Look, isn't the earth so quiet?"
Using my own knowledge and theory to explain, there are indeed many strange things about the moon tonight. The red light can actually spread to the earth, and after looking at it for a long time, you will feel a chill. In addition, the surroundings are quiet and too quiet.
It has calmed down. Demon hunters have been coming from time to time to investigate the situation for the past few days, but there has been no movement all day today.
"I hope..."
Ye Minglu stared at the night sky, his expression vaguely showing a hint of uneasiness.
Underground military base command room.
"According to the images from the reconnaissance satellite just now, the demon hunting army entered the area near Mount Fuji from both sides of the wilderness in Shizuoka and Yamanashi Prefectures."
The operator's computer terminal received information from the real-time satellite. There was a large area of shadow on the ground that was gradually moving. He turned on the physical image and confirmed that it was a monster-like demon hunter.
Luo Tianyang immediately said seriously: "Put it on the big screen."
"yes!"
The operator inputs the image and transferred it to the big screen. After zooming in, it is clearly visible that the demon hunting army is heading towards Mount Fuji. The number is too large to be counted. The volume of one demon hunting army is equal to that of a heavy battle tank. This number is comparable to tens of thousands of steel tanks.
A mighty movement.
"Tonight is destined to be a holy war of death and death. Is Diluwusi in the wilderness of Yamanashi? Then leave it to Ye Minglu to deal with." Looking at the demon hunting laborers on the big screen, Luo Tianyang's deep eyes smiled slightly.
squint.
"How long will it take for them to reach Mount Fuji?" Okris asked.
"Shizuoka Prefecture's demon-hunting army stopped five kilometers away, while Yamanashi Prefecture's demon-hunting army was only half an hour away from reaching Mount Fuji."
Luo Tianyang was not worried: "Their strategy was to launch a sudden attack from both sides and catch us off guard. They never imagined that we had military satellites to detect their situation."
"Open the summons immediately and notify the elves up and down the base to gather in the open space on the ground." After fifteen minutes of pre-war preparations, Okris immediately ordered.
The operator turned on the emergency button, and immediately a red warning flashing signal began to sound inside the base.
Luo Tianyang said: "Immediately contact the Self-Defense Forces of the two counties for combat deployment. Automatic mines, tanks and missile launchers can stop them once they launch an attack."
"We have the detailed information of each elf envoy on hand. We will use this time to allocate it and arrive at the scheduled combat location as quickly as possible." Okris said to Luo Tianyang while holding a piece of compiled information.
"Then hurry up!" Luo Tianyang opened the door of the command room and walked out quickly with Tila.
"It's already eleven o'clock. Go back and rest early. If you sleep here with the wind blowing, you will catch a cold in the middle of the night." Modi leaned against the railing and checked the clock on his phone.
"Well, let's train hard tomorrow!"
Ye Minglu stretched himself and wanted to wake up Jue Xin and Emily, when suddenly an early warning notification came from the base.
"Attention, please note, all the elves in the base are asked to gather in front of the open space on the ground. This is not a drill! Let me inform you again, please ask all the elves in the base to gather in front of the open space on the ground..."
[Author's digression]: The battle will be more intense later on, come and collect it, follow it and watch it!
