Chapter 49: The Red Lotus Arrives
I said red lotus, the vast and wonderful. All colors and all lights radiate, such as the color of the eight treasures. It can beautify the world and reduce disasters and evils. For example, if I sing the Red Lotus, and the flames radiate the light of the Eight Treasures, then the light will be bright and prosperous for a while, and the flames will turn into boundless red lotus.

Fuji Continent, Kaminarimongahara, base camp of the Asaha Army.
The "poisonous tesuji" Sengoku daimyo held the vermilion food box and unhurriedly filled his mouth with Japanese sweets, his movements were mechanical and precise, like cramming ducks, and I don't know if he tasted it or not. He sat at the mahjong table, looking at the scattered mahjong table, not knowing what he was thinking. He was surrounded by several Necro Player Guild Leaders, who were visibly busier than him, constantly liaising with the Guild Combatants.
"Strategist, I just received the latest news, Lord Lin and the two Necromantic Kings have broken away from their own formation, and they are going deep alone!" One of the presidents was anxious, and it seemed that he was frightened by Santuji's behavior: "If you run into a great god, you can catch it all!" ”
Another president pounced: "What's that! The enemy's corresponding deployment is dangerous! Now the enemy army is pestering the three kings with cannon fodder, and then raiding our base camp with surprise soldiers made up entirely of watershed players! The strongest battle group in my guild couldn't withstand it for five minutes! Now my people are fighting with their lives, which is why they can't move forward! ”
"Aren't my people desperate? The most one has died six times! Now my members' mood is very low, if it weren't for the fact that Lord Ringo took down all the bases except Kaminarigahara and boosted their morale, I'm afraid some people would simply quit the club! ”
"Strategist, we're opposite more than 50% of all players in Japan! This number is still conservative! While the forces are not completely depleted, let's shrink the front! If we lose at Kaminarimon, we don't know when we'll be able to hoard so many NPC troops! ”
The Sengoku daimyo didn't raise his head, and continued to chew the waga sweets, and licked the icing on his fingers. His gaze has been fixed on the green back of mahjong, as if he wants to see through the cards.
The presidents didn't have much time to complain, and news came from within the guild. It's just that after this round of news, one by one changed from sad faces to happy smiles, and they reported the good news to the Warring States Daimyo for the first time.
"The enemy's surprise soldiers have retreated! It's still less than three miles away from here, so it's retreating! My men took the opportunity to cover up and kill, but unfortunately the tactical awareness on the opposite side was too strong, and they couldn't even retreat...... But it doesn't matter, at least everyone's morale is up again! ”
"The enemy forces have gathered their formation and are stopping Lord Ringo's advance! No, it's a lone army with less than 300 people! ”
"What less than three hundred! Now the number has doubled! Do you know, my people follow the three kings, almost no hands, and the honor value is rising! Not only that, but they also have a Necromantic King level buff, so there is no pressure on players of the same level at all! ”
"None of the gods appeared! In this way, Ringo-sama may be able to penetrate the enemy line and take the enemy's base camp directly! ”
"Hahaha, you're too optimistic! It is unlikely that you can directly capture the enemy's base camp, after all, the opposing player can also be resurrected indefinitely! But Ringo-sama has no problem if he wants to get out of the way! ”
Once again, the guild leaders are clearly aware that the strong are at the center of war. The so-called "elites" they have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate are not comparable to a finger of the Necromantic King. The Necromantic King is the pride of the battlefield! Unfortunately, there can only be one Necromantic King per server, and the King of the Fuji Continent has become a climate of its own and cannot be used by the guilds. No matter how powerful the Necromantic King is, it is also the business of the Necromantic King, and it has nothing to do with the guilds, thinking of this, several guilds involuntarily lowered their voices of conversation and laughter.
The Sengoku daimyo still kept his head down, using his long hair to hide a slightly mocking smile.

Japan, Wakayama Prefecture, a ramen restaurant called Chugocho.
"Hello, Chugam-cho. Signature ramen three servings, yes, thank you. The proprietress put down the phone, and the bell rang again, so busy that she didn't even have time to wipe her sweat. Tamako! Three bowls to be delivered! ”
"Got it, Mom!" The girl behind the counter answered. She neatly shook the water and side dishes, covered the noodle bowl with plastic wrap, and went out with the incubator, carefully avoiding the diners who were immersed in their hard work. There were so many people in the store (there was a long queue outside) that she was struggling. It's dinner time, and it's the busiest time for ramen restaurants, not to mention the fact that this month we'll decide which restaurant is the No. 1 popular restaurant in Wakayama, attracting a large number of tourists and foodies.
When the girl went out, she happened to bump into the familiar taxi driver uncle, and greeted the other party affectionately, and when she saw that the other party came with a film crew, she didn't talk much, so she quickly drove away on a small motorcycle. Uncle Driver loves his signature ramen, so even though Chugoyama has never won the title of No. 1 ramen shop in Wakayama, he will definitely introduce customers to Chugokumachi. The taste of the ramen is not bad, and if it can be promoted by TV shows, business will definitely be better.
The delivery object is a regular customer, and the girl comes to the destination - a private house by car. The hostess and the man greeted them with a smile: "Ah, ramen! The girl was also smiling, but there was a little slander in her heart. It's a good thing that customers love the ramen in the store, but as a housewife, her husband doesn't have a problem with asking for ramen to be delivered instead of cooking herself?
After putting the three bowls of ramen on the table, the girl counted the money, and then the hostess shouted, "Teiichi, come down and eat!" There was no response after a few calls, so the hostess complained, "I know how to play games all day long." Really, the ramen doesn't taste good when it's cold," he said, and went upstairs to call someone.
The girl smiled slightly. The child of this family is a fan of "Qiankun", because he wears a holographic helmet that blocks external sound and light interference, so he always needs his family to run to him to interrupt the game. It's just that this kid also likes the signature ramen, always ends the game early, and never needs to be urged by his family, what's wrong today?
With the sound of footsteps, the boy who looked like a junior high school student hurriedly ran down and shouted, "Damn, I died again just now." Oh, Sister Tamako. ”
("Be polite to people!") The hostess was thinking about it again. )
"Huiyi, what are you busy with today?" The girl asked with a smile while carrying the incubator.
"Faction conflict! I was going to go offline for dinner just now, who knew that the three necromantic kings would attack together! It's just that none of the great gods on our side are there, and they can't resist at all! I'm going to keep fighting after eating, or I'll have to scold me to death!" ”
The girl's face changed slightly. She said goodbye to the family, turned over and stepped on a small motorcycle, and rushed back to Zhonghua Town at the highest speed. As she galloped, she took out her mobile phone with a fiery red shell: "Aimei, come and help me!" Ah~ Don't be so ruthless! It's not for you to make ramen, it's just for you to serve food and wipe the table! Yes, yes, I know you're a road idiot, and I won't let you go to delivery! Please have matcha cake on the weekend! Uh-huh, yes, that's it! Now hurry up, by the way, you can help me contact Yoshiko and let her come too! ”
As soon as the two friends came to Chugocho, the girl quickly tied aprons and headscarves for them and let them get to work. For the doubtful glances cast by her parents, she can only explain that it is to relieve the pressure in the store. Before the film crew brought by the driver's uncle left, they looked at the three female high school students in surprise and asked the driver's uncle if this was an idea in the store. The uncle was also in a fog, so he had to push the boat and say that it was a specialty of Chugocho - ramen for high school girls.
There are female high school students doing gimmicks, and there must be an endless stream of strange uncles who come here, right? But if the strange uncles learn that the so-called female high school students have actually graduated from college and started looking for jobs, their fragile gentlemanly hearts will definitely be broken......
The girl shook her head, driving away the unrealistic idea, and at the same time complained to her parents once again about why she didn't let her brother help. Although my younger brother is from the baseball club, he is still a junior high school student, and it is not yet time to hit Koshien, so why can he train every day while he has to take care of the business in the store! Mom and Dad are too eccentric! Hire me from any company! I swear I'll turn a blind eye to my boss's sexual harassment, definitely! Even if my seniors stared at my chest in a daze, I wouldn't have dropped my resignation letter and left like last time!
Thanks to the help of two friends, the flow of customers in the store has increased a lot, and the crowd outside the store has disappeared 15 minutes earlier than usual. Seeing that the store should not be busy anymore, the girl hurriedly confessed to her family and friends, went home to turn on the computer, and logged in to "Qiankun".
Continental Fuji, Kaminarimonbara.
The girl appeared at the living quarters' base camp, and all the players who saw her exclaimed in surprise, shouting "Lianhua-sama". If she might have been in the mood to respond in the past, now she just kept her face calm and rushed to the place where the killings were most concentrated as fast as she could. She saw the eight-ride emperor who would not stop, and her eyes were suddenly cold, just because the wheels of the emperor were full of bloodstains, and they were so red that they were clearly layered, and it could be seen that a layer of blood was dried up and then a layer was applied. This imperial ...... No, how many deaths does this chariot really mean?
She stepped forward with her little feet in red rope straw sandals, and stepped out into a vigorous crimson flame! The flames spread around her, igniting all the surrounding necromantic creatures and pink mist, and its damage is so high that even if the necromantic creatures get the bonus of [Soul Vortex], they can't stand it! The strangest thing is that the flames are so thick that the necromantic creatures struggle hard but can't move, like flies on sticky fly paper, they can only wait to die on the spot! With the death of the creeps, the three Necromantic Kings also noticed that their total soul value had dropped sharply......
However, the Eight Vehicles Emperor did not stop there, but galloped towards her even more frantically!
"It's really dead, Kazuki Ringo!" She pulled out her weapon, Kagura Suzu, and asked in a cold voice.
"You're early, Red Lotus Witch, Lotus Flower on the other side." The hollowness on Santuhime's face twisted for a moment, and Quan made a smile.
