When Sei Itō and the other members of Group 19 arrived at the lakeside, the place was already filled with people. Dozens of men and women, old and young, dressed differently according to the situation of their respective teams, lined up behind their captains.
Seeing this, Sei Itō and the other four naturally walked to the edge of the line and stood behind Kitagawa Kazushi. Not long after they took their positions, an old man who was about 1.5 meters tall, had his hands behind his back. His body was thin, a little stooped, and his face was full of wrinkles. He had sparse white curly hair to the point where one could see his scalp. He walked to the front of all the teams and stood on the platform that was built in advance, surrounded by a dozen men and women in black uniforms with solemn expressions.
That seemingly small, somewhat frail body stood on the high platform for a moment, his body straightened, and suddenly released a heavy and majestic aura, oppressing everyone present.
Sei Itō, who was caught off guard, instinctively felt his heart sink under the oppressive aura of the old man, and then the power in his body spontaneously revolved, resisting the oppressive aura outside his body. Beside him, Eriko, Suzu Ito, and Ya Ye each used their own means to resist the oppressive aura outside their body. That middle-aged man called Iwamoto Jie, whose complexion was somewhat pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat, clenching his teeth and persisting.
Fortunately, the old man on the high platform was prepared to intimidate these scattered people and family members who came to take refuge, and didn't have any intention to do anything, so the aura only lasted for two or three seconds before it was withdrawn by the old man on the high platform.
Then the old man on the high platform bent his body again, like an ordinary old man, looked at the people present and said indifferently, "I am the current head of the Ministry of Environment, Tsuchimikado Youjin. I don't care why you came to Tokyo Barrier Circle, but since you have temporarily joined our Ministry of Environment, then you have to listen to my orders. If anyone disobeys orders, or disobeys orders, kill without mercy! "
"Yes, Tsuchimikado Daren." Everyone was first intimidated by Tsuchimikado Youjin's aura. Then, he was influenced by Tu Yumikaze's identity. He naturally wouldn't take Tu Yumikaze's words to heart. He hurriedly bowed respectfully and replied.
"Very good." Tu Yumikaze faintly nodded and said, "Execute according to the established plan."
"Yes." Behind Tsutomu Yuzen. A burly man with a solemn expression replied respectfully.
Soon after, Tu Yumin Youzhen walked down from the high platform and walked towards the tent at the side. Finally, he disappeared into the tent.
"Let's go!" The burly man took a step forward and shouted to the crowd.
"Yes!" The nineteen captains immediately responded in a loud voice. Then, each of them called for their own team members and scattered in all directions.
"Let's go," Kitagawa Kazushi said to the remaining five members behind him.
"What is our mission?" Following behind Kitagawa Kazushi, Eriko asked.
"Our mission is very simple. We're going to XX Village to defend against the demon beasts attacking from there with Group Seven," Kitagawa Kazushi explained as he led the group toward the northeast.
"Then what's up with that team?" At this time, Sei Itō's gaze looked at the remaining team of twenty or so people and asked.
"Oh, that's a mobile unit. They're in charge of supporting the various areas." Kitagawa Kazushi followed Sei Itō's gaze and explained.
"That's not right. Why are the frontline defense teams made up of people like us? What about the members of your environment department? "Iwamoto who had recovered frowned and said with dissatisfaction.
Hearing Iwamoto's question, Kitagawa Kazushi who was originally smiling frowned and stopped smiling. He suddenly turned his head and stared at Iwamoto's face with a sharp gaze and said indifferently, "You don't need to question the arrangements of the headquarters. If you're not happy with this, you can leave the team and find a way to survive. "
Iwamoto who was a little uncomfortable under Kitagawa Kazushi's sharp gaze quickly changed his expression, but in the end, he didn't have the courage to leave the team and find a way to survive. He didn't say anything for a long time and lowered his head with a face full of resentment. He silently followed behind Kitagawa Kazushi.
However, perhaps he was afraid that Eriko and the others would have other thoughts and affect the team's strength. Kitagawa Kazushi explained the arrangements of the environment department, "The other members of the environment department also have their own missions, but their missions are more secretive. They won't be coming with us."
The rest of the way was silent. In the silence, the group quickly arrived at the defensive zone. The moment they arrived, another team of eight ran over from another street and joined them.
"Yo, Qing Shan." Kitagawa Kazushi greeted a young man in the team.
"Kitagawa." The young man called Qing Shan raised his hand and greeted him. He then glanced at Sei Itō and the others behind Kitagawa Kazushi and said, "Looks like you guys are the nineteenth team."
"Yes." Kitagawa Kazushi nodded and asked in return, "What's your plan?"
"I don't have any plans. What about you?" Qing Shan looked at the seven men and women behind him and shook his head.
"Since you don't have any plans, why don't we just combine our two teams? After all, we're facing an army of magical creatures this time. It's safer to have more people," Kitagawa Kazushi said.
"Sounds good." Qing Shan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. {{}{}
The two teams combined. Together with the captains, Qing Shan and Kitagawa Kazushi, they formed a fourteen-man team.
"Who's a Yin Yang Master?" Kitagawa asked everyone after the teams had combined.
"Me." "Me." "Me too." "Me too." The four men, including Sei Itō, gestured with their hands.
"Good. The four of you, set up a defensive barrier here as a base," Kitagawa Kazushi said as he pointed at the surroundings.
"Okay." Sei Itō and the others agreed. Then, they walked out of the team and gathered together to discuss. After reaching a consensus, they began to set up the barrier according to the results of their discussion.
"Who among you can attack from afar?" Kitagawa Kazushi asked the remaining eight.
"I can." "Me." "Me too." Two men and one woman walked up to them and said.
Kitagawa Kazushi turned to look at Qing Shan. Qing Shan nodded knowingly, then stepped forward and said to the others, "When the battle starts, you guys will follow me and be in charge of long-range attacks."
"Yes!" The three of them replied loudly.
"Among the five of you, is there anyone who can't fight in close range?" Kitagawa Kazushi asked Eriko, Suzu Ito, Ya Ye, Iwamoto Jie, and another man.
"My ability isn't suitable for close range combat." Iwamoto Jie raised his hand and said.
"Oh?" Kitagawa Kazushi's eyes flashed and he asked, "What is your ability?"
"My ability is more inclined towards curses." Iwamoto Jie explained. At the same time, he turned his head to look around and found a telephone pole not far away. He reached out and shouted. A gray mist quickly rushed out of Iwamoto Jie's hand and pounced on the electric pole. Cracks immediately appeared on the surface of the originally sturdy electric pole. There was no need for anyone to knock it. It naturally fell off the pole and onto the ground. It shattered into a pile of stone powder.
"Not a bad ability." Kitagawa Kazushi nodded and said, "When the battle starts, you'll be in charge of cursing the magical beasts."
"Okay." Iwamoto Jie agreed.
"Then you guys will be in charge of close range combat with me." Kitagawa Kazushi said to Eriko and the others.
"Okay." Eriko and the others nodded in agreement.
"Squad Seven, Squad Nineteen, a group of magical beasts has appeared three hundred meters away from you. There are more than five hundred of them. There are no C-grade magical beasts. Make sure to block them. "At this moment, Qing Shan and Kitagawa Kazushi's earphones suddenly rang with a young female voice.
"Everyone, be on guard." Hearing the report, Kitagawa Kazushi and Qing Shan shouted at the same time.
"How's the barrier going?" Kitagawa Kazushi turned to Sei Itō and the other Onmyojis and asked.
"It'll be done soon." One of the Onmyojis replied.
"Good. You guys continue." Kitagawa Kazushi shouted. He then turned to Qing Shan and said, "Looks like we'll need to buy them some time."
"Mhm." Qing Shan nodded.
The magical beasts moved very quickly. The distance of three hundred meters was covered in less than two minutes. They appeared in front of Kitagawa Kazushi and the others. After exchanging glances with Qing Shan, Kitagawa Kazushi turned to Eriko and the others and yelled, "Let's go!"
After saying that, he pulled out a slender cylinder with a diameter of four centimeters from his waist and swung it to the side. Immediately, four to five smaller cylinders popped out from the cylinder in Kitagawa Kazushi's hand and turned into a short stick that looked like a pointer. Kitagawa Kazushi then turned his wrist. A flash of electricity immediately flowed along the pockmark-like short stick. Kitagawa Kazushi immediately charged at the group of magical beasts with the short stick in hand.
"Let's follow them." Eriko said to Suzu Ito and Ya Ye beside her. Then, she swung the battle sword in her hand and charged forward with Suzu Ito and Ya Ye. Behind them, the remaining male team member clenched his fists in front of him and quickly ran forward.
Soon after, Kitagawa Kazushi, Eriko, Suzu Ito, Ya Ye, and the male team member blocked the path like an iron wall. They began to kill the hundreds of magical beasts that were charging at them. Every magical beast that reached the five of them. If they weren't struck in the head by Kitagawa Kazushi's Lightning Whip, their arms would be broken and they would be electrocuted to death. If they weren't killed by Eriko, Suzu Ito, and Ya Ye's swords, then they would be beaten to a pulp by the last male boxer.
Behind the five of them, Qing Shan and the others weren't idle either. They were also blocking the magical beasts. Ice arrows, fireballs, sand, and torrents flew past Kitagawa Kazushi and the others and bombarded the magical beasts' bodies, killing them. The one who shot the ice arrows was Qing Shan, the one who shot the fireballs was a white-collar man in a suit, the one who shot the sand was a middle-aged man who looked like a homeless person, and the one who shot the torrents was the only female among the four.
On the other hand, Iwamoto's eyes flashed. He took a few steps forward and arrived behind Kitagawa Kazushi and the others. He released his curse at the magical beasts not far away.
Following the sudden appearance of a large cloud of gray dust, the magical beasts that were enveloped in it immediately became weak. Their limbs became weak, and their movements became sluggish. They were effortlessly killed by Kitagawa Kazushi and the others.
After they killed over a hundred magical beasts, Sei Itō and the other Onmyojis who set up the barrier finally completed their task. One of them, a very fashionable young man with a flowery cloth wrapped around his head, shouted to Kitagawa Kazushi and the others, "The barrier is set up."
"Good!" Kitagawa Kazushi immediately shouted, "Everyone, retreat into the barrier."
After receiving Kitagawa Kazushi's order, Qing Shan immediately ran into the barrier with the two men and one woman beside him. Then, he increased the intensity of his attacks to help Kitagawa Kazushi and the others retreat.
With the help of Qing Shan and the other three, Kitagawa Kazushi soon led Eriko and the others back into the barrier. As for Iwamoto, he had already retreated after Qing Shan and the others entered the barrier.
After everyone entered the barrier, Sei Itō and the other three Onmyojis simultaneously formed hand seals and shouted to the void, "Form!"
In an instant, a semi-circular transparent shield emitting a faint yellow light appeared above everyone's head, blocking the Fiendish Demons that followed behind them. Then, the three Onmyojis, including Sei Itō, immediately let go of their hands and stopped supporting the barrier. The Onmyojis who had been forming hand seals all this time maintained the barrier.
This was what the four of them had discussed beforehand. Everyone would take turns maintaining the barrier to prolong its existence.
With the barrier's protection, everyone let loose and began slaughtering the magical beasts. In just a short while, the magical beasts were once again pushed back from the barrier. Kitagawa Kazushi and the other four immediately stepped out of the barrier and formed an iron wall to block the magical beasts' attacks. At the same time, they reduced the energy consumption of the Onmyojis maintaining the barrier.
"Squad Seven, Squad Nineteen, there's another wave of three hundred magical beasts approaching your position. There's a magical beast with Rank C among them. Be careful to resist." Just as everyone had killed until there were only two hundred magical beasts left, Kitagawa Kazushi and Qing Shan received another report from the rear.
"Shit, there's already a Rank C in the second wave. Will the third wave be a Rank C + or B-?!" Kitagawa Kazushi cursed inwardly. After all, Kitagawa Kazushi was only a Rank C +. He wasn't even at the peak. If a Rank B- really came, then they might as well just wait for death.
However, regardless of what Kitagawa Kazushi was thinking, the second wave of magical beasts still arrived as scheduled. Several hundred magical beasts wrapped in magical beasts made of magical beasts charged toward the remaining two hundred magical beasts in the blink of an eye. The magical beasts, which had already taken the form of magical beasts, immediately expanded and devoured the magical beasts' magical beasts. Then, they condensed into a ball of magical beasts in front of their mouths and spat it at Kitagawa Kazushi and the other four.
"Not good, quickly retreat into the barrier." Kitagawa Kazushi's expression changed drastically. Then, he retreated back into the barrier with Eriko and the others. (Welcome. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
