Chapter 426 Chapter 425: Old Dragon Ao Long
Two days later, the entire Japanese society has not yet recovered from the Fish-Man War. They are either caught up in discussions about the Dragon King or in lingering fears about the Fish-Men and the ocean.
After all, the country was close to extinction, and 6 soldiers died in the war, 5 were injured, and 11 were killed and injured in just one week. You have to know that this country has 30 soldiers in the navy and army, and the death rate is so high that even the former First Fleet was wiped out.
Now, in order to appease the frightened people, the government headed by Nakamura Motoki held a large-scale state funeral yesterday. The funeral in Kawaguchi District, Tokyo, attracted 400 million people to attend, and the crowd was very lively.
In addition, the government is also doing what it should do, which is to help attract traffic to the Longjun Shrine. Words like "Longjun Shrine is good" and "Lord Longjun is the patron saint of the country" are heard by everyone.
Across the country, there was a craze for the Dragon King. The number of believers increased dramatically, and the gates of the branches of the major Dragon King shrines were almost trampled to pieces by the large influx of believers.
Amid the endless praise, there are of course doubts. The most pointed one is that the rescue at the Ryukun Shrine was too late, taking more than a week to come, which might be intentional.
In addition to soldiers, more than 20 civilians were killed or injured, for which the Ryukun Shrine is responsible.
However, these doubts soon disappeared. If anyone dared to encounter them on the Internet, their post would be deleted at the very least, their account would be blocked at the moderate level, and in serious cases, someone would even come to check the water meter.
This is inevitable. The Dragon King Shrine not only controls the entire government, but also has its own people in industries such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, and the Internet and technology. It can be said that it controls the lifeblood of the entire country. Do some unruly people really want to turn the tables?
[6691 million casual believers, 982 million true believers, 15.1 devout believers, 178 fanatics, 1 saint]
[Economic income 301.3 million/day, incense income 99799 points/day]
The number of believers has reached 7700 million, which is more than half of the country's population.
Kyoto's Kuramayama, Kifune Shrine, as the only branch of Ryukun Shrine in Kyoto, is extremely popular.
Dark clouds covered the sky, drizzling rain wet the green leaves, and mist beads stained the skin. Unfortunately, even in such weather, there was still a long queue of people going up the mountain to worship.
Even though the Kifune Shrine had anticipated and made arrangements, it still felt overwhelmed by the huge crowds.
When the official shrine maiden of Ryukun Shrine was busy directing the crowd, a woman in a black sailor suit walked through, causing the shrine maiden's face to change drastically.
The woman was wearing black stockings and shoes, and had long black hair that flowed like a waterfall. With her dark eyes and pale skin, she looked like a dark goddess.
Her graceful figure attracted the attention of many men. This person was Yuyuko.
The black women's leather shoes stepped on the green leaves, and the expressionless face showed only confusion and a hint of loneliness.
Yuyuko did not join the queue and walked forward on her own. The crowd consciously made way for her and soon arrived in front of the shrine dedicated to the Dragon King.
In front of the throne was the former God Lord, Gojo Makoto, who had just broken through to the eighth level. He was also very curious about why this great demon came.
"Mr. Yuyuko, what are you doing?"
Yuyuko: "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. I just want to pay my respects to Lord Longjun."
Gojo Makoto's expression suddenly became strange. Others might not know, but he knew that Lord Longjun and Yuyuko were familiar with each other and they contacted each other from time to time through the phone software.
So he had no reason to stop Yuyuko. Who knew how the status of both parties would change in the future.
Gojo Shin: "Mister Yuyuko, please."
Yuyuko nodded and walked forward, then stared blankly at the statue, not knowing what he was thinking, until his cell phone rang and a familiar male voice came from it.
"Hagoromo, I didn't expect you to come and visit me. If you miss me, just contact me directly."
Yuyuko was stunned for a moment, then he let it go, after all, this was his territory.
"Yuzuru-kun, congratulations on killing a powerful Outer God. Now you have become someone I can only look up to."
Yuzuru Nagayama: "Hahaha, don't say that, we are friends."
friend?
Yuyuko still couldn't figure out what the man was thinking. If he wanted to get her, or covet her body, it would be easy for him to do so given the strength of both parties. Maybe he had other intentions?
Anyway, after almost a year of contact, the two sides are quite familiar with each other.
Yuyuko hesitated and spoke.
"Yuzuru-kun, I want to make a deal with you. I'll use my body to make a deal with you."
Before Yuyuko could finish speaking, Yuzuru Nagayama interrupted him.
"Don't mention it, Hagoromo. I won't help you revive Abe Haruaki. I don't want our friendship to be affected by anything else."
"."
I don’t understand, I really don’t understand. Yuyuko can only chat with the man about daily life for a few minutes and then hang up the phone.
She had not been well for the past six months. Although she had reached the peak level of the eighth rank with the Nine-Tail's talent, the plan to resurrect Abe Haruaki was delayed again and again, and she had even lost her dominant position, which was controlled by three outsiders.
Her former subordinates, such as Kidomaru and Ibaraki Douji, also became estranged from her.
After all, she was just a mother who gave birth to Qingming again. After all, she couldn't give up on resurrecting Qingming.
Yuyuko looked up at the sky, and at this moment a ray of sunlight fell through a gap in the clouds.
Yuyuko couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"Is it really okay to revive Qingming?"
As for Yuzuru Nagayama on the other end of the phone, he was using his clairvoyance to predict the future, and then he smiled broadly. "Interesting, really interesting, I never thought of that."
Otohime's voice suddenly interrupted someone's self-congratulation.
"Did you call that confidante again?"
Yuzuru Nagayama turned his head and saw Otohime, dressed in a palace dress, noble and sacred, looking at him with emotion.
Yuzuru Nagayama would not indulge Otohime. He directly reached out and ruffled the dragon girl's hair, and gave her a serious lecture.
"Don't ask about adult matters, kid."
These words made Otohime laugh out loud. She was a 3000-year-old real dragon, but someone actually called her a child. She immediately slapped away the seal of mischief and retorted angrily.
"I am the Coral Dragon King of Dragon Court, don't treat me like a child, you bastard."
Yiji is indeed a different person now. She has become the third first-rank Dragon King in the Dragon Court. With the increase in power, she is no longer a weakling in the early tenth level. Her territory is located in the sea near the Coral Palace on Iwo Jima, covering an area of 70 square kilometers.
Yuzuru Nagayama nodded.
"Yes, yes, the Coral Palace Dragon King is really powerful, but I am speaking as a relative now. You are still my sister who needs my protection, Otohime."
The word "sister" made Otohime blush even though she was still trying to be stubborn.
"Who is your sister? I am the elder sister."
Nagayama Yuzuru did not respond, but just stared at Otohime. Just when she misunderstood that he was angry, he smiled and pinched the pretty face in front of him.
"Whether you are my elder sister or my younger sister, you are now the Coral Dragon King, the Southern Marshal of the Dragon Court, and the Grand Princess of the Dragon Court. Are you satisfied now?"
Otohime: "Hmph, I won't talk to you anymore. I still have to lead the army to set off."
The so-called Longting South Route Army is a corps composed of 2 troops from the Mermaid Kingdom and 8 troops from Longting. Its purpose is to occupy the large tracts of high-quality sea areas in the south, and move south along the islands until it swallows up the Northern Mariana Islands, that is, to control Guam.
As long as the goal is achieved, Longting will own the third trench, the Maria Trench.
It has to be said that the current trench, in addition to being a training ground for Dragon Court members, can also be used to grow some high-quality natural treasures. It is simply a perfect plantation.
In the Ryugu Palace in the Seto Inland Sea, Yuzuru Nagayama and other mermaid nobles watched Otohime leave and the spectacular scene of an army of 100,000 setting off.
When no one else was paying attention, Yuzuru Nagayama suddenly grabbed Seto Can's hand, which was so soft and limp that the widow was so scared that she quickly pulled her hand back.
The battle that took place two nights ago was still surfacing in her mind, even though she still loved her husband.
None of the remaining mermaid leaders noticed the interaction between the two, and they were now more concerned about their compatriots.
The war just ended and another one is about to start two days later. Fortunately, this time the formation is very powerful. Not only is there Otohime who is comparable to the tenth level, but the Dragon Queen Suzuka Gozen can also play a supporting role, and there are 2 true gods following.
When Seto Akena came back, Yuzuru Nagayama let go and gave instructions in a serious manner.
"Aminai and Seto-chan, I'll leave the Mermaid Kingdom in your hands from now on. I hope you won't let me down."
A week later, the army's southern expedition was very successful. This land of nearly 10 million square kilometers had already been washed by the fishmen. Now, whether it was the organized forces, or other scattered monsters and gods, even ordinary fish had become scarce, so it was conceivable how weak the resistance was.
There were only a few remaining fishmen who were too troublesome to clean up. It was estimated that there were at least a million of them, most of whom were the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Today, 7% of the Philippine Sea has been conquered by Ryugu, and they even encountered the indigenous sea god of the Philippines on the way, but he was repelled by Suzuka Gozen and Otohime.
After all, the indigenous pantheon of the Philippines is not strong, otherwise they would not have been colonized by Spain first and then by the Eagle Sauce.
Three days later, the entire Maria Trench was truly conquered by the Dragon Court, and the army then moved eastward all the way to Wake Island.
It took 10 days to expand the territory, and the actual occupation was 240 million square kilometers, and the nominal occupation was 300 million square kilometers.
Today, the actual ruling area of Zulong Court has reached 890 million, which is close to the territory of China.
Just when Suzuka Gozen and Otohime thought that the conquest was over, something unexpected happened.
500 kilometers east of the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa), several elderly people suddenly stopped the army on the westward expedition.
They were obviously just a few old men, but Otohime, the commander-in-chief, did not dare to act rashly because they were too strong.
One eleventh-order main god and five great gods, this kind of power is enough to rival the current Takama-ga-hara. However, Otohime is not too worried, because the old men are all real dragons with dragon horns on their heads.
The old man at the eleventh level looked kind.
"Don't be afraid, girls. My name is Ao Long. I am your great uncle, Ao Yi. They are all your uncles."
"????"
Yiji was confused. Who was Ao Yi? Could he be referring to her? But several old men were looking at her, so he must be referring to her, right?
But her last name is not Ao. That’s not right. It’s as if she doesn’t have a last name at all, and Father God never mentioned it.
