Chapter 38 The fourth quarter: the misty demon

In 1026 of Quiba, the Holy Alliance realized the strategic value of the Meronica route, and began to send more troops to the dense fog island of the night country, and competed desperately with the Quebah army for this strategic point. Due to the special geographical conditions of Dense Fog Island, the foreign coalition forces sent to the island need to act under the guidance of the Mist Demon. In addition to the theater headquarters equipped with a large number of Mist Demon staff, some grassroots combat teams are also led by the Mist Demon. . Wu Yao Yao Xia Wen Yao You Mi Kuang is the leader of such a combat team.As a night combat expert, he was ordered to organize a night combat team to harass the enemy's garrison at night.This is a very high-level combat team. He could have picked people from various units, but he thought that volunteering was the most important thing, so he asked those who were willing to participate to sign up with him.As a result, he waited for three full days, and it was impossible to wait any longer. Only five people came to sign up.These five people came from five different countries. They had nothing outstanding, they had been unknown, and they didn't look like they were suitable for night battles.

In fact, You Mikuang had already expected such a result. He knew that most coalition soldiers thought that such sneaky night operations were difficult and dangerous, and it was not easy for people to see their military exploits, so they were unwilling to participate.More importantly, any yokai in their right mind would cringe at the thought of doing night work under a fog genie. In the world, the mist demon has always had a bad reputation, and is regarded as a vicious person with a dark psychology and hurting people behind the scenes. This has something to do with some things they have done in history.

The fog demon is photophobic by nature. If it stays in the normal sunlight for half a day, its skin will be severely burned, and its eyes may even become blind.Since prehistoric times, mist monsters have lived in the dark, damp depths of the central forest, where there is little direct sunlight.After the central forest deserted, the Mist Demon moved to the foggy and dense fog island in the sea of ​​stars. Later generations cannot know for sure how the mist demon, who was not good at swimming, managed to cross the sea at that time. According to the legend of the mist demon, a strange man appeared at that time, and he led his tribe to fly across the strait.This person was named "Feiying", and was later traced as the first leader of the fog demon.

About 30 years before Quiba, the mainland fog demons had basically migrated to the dense fog island that is hazy all year round.Originally, there were a group of Hui and Wu demons living on the island, which were called "Island Hui" and "Island Fog".Daohui was later extinct due to the exclusion of the fog demon and the deterioration of the climate, while the island fog and the mainland fog demon merged into one.However, there are a few ethnic differences and language differences between the island fog and the mainland fog monster, so there are also hidden contradictions.

After the mainland fog demon migrated to Dense Mist Island, Feiying tried to bring the islands under his command, but the island has always been at odds with him.During the period of "chasing the brilliance monsters", the contradictions were not obvious. After the brilliance monsters on the island were basically extinct, Lengsha, the leader of the island fog girl, provoked a civil war. Ten years before Kuiba, Feiying was assassinated by Lengsha, who unified the fog demon, but Feiying's remnant party secretly kept their strength and prepared to counterattack.This kind of long-term internal discord has made the mist demon accustomed to making insidious tricks and making cold shots, selfish and suspicious.

Then there was the first Quiba war. Kuiba manipulated Lengsha and the island fog forces, and used the central city of Nongwu Island, Nongwu Town, as a secret command center, leading the fog demon to launch a lightning attack on the northern mainland by surprise. Soon Occupy Hui Yao's tree country and expand to the beast country. In the 17th year of Kuiba, Yan obtained information to confirm that Kuiba was in Nongwu Town. He led the heavenly soldiers to attack Nongwu Town and wiped out the first generation of Kuiba. Lengsha disappeared, and Wu Yao was severely punished as Kuiba's ally.This status as a public enemy of the world makes the character of the mist demon even darker, and it becomes their habit of thinking behind the scenes.

After the war, the faction of the mainland fog demon regained its dominant influence.In the 68th year of Kuiba, the Wuyao clan accepted the Wenyao system.The spy of the mist demon who made a contribution to Kuiba's whereabouts, Mo Shan, served as the first Wang Wenyao.Soon, the 22-year-old Dao Wumang Biao assassinated Mo Shan and usurped Wang Wenyao.Since then, the assassination activities of the two fog demons to capture Wang Wenyao have occurred frequently.The fog demon didn't get much development because of the Wenyao system, but became more and more vicious. Until the 111th year of Kuiba, Tianfeng, the Wu Yao king of the mainland, as a sage in the history of Wu Yao, tried to change the national fate of Wu Yao. He did not inherit Wang Wenyao to his descendants, but gave it to the outstanding Jihui, a young man from Shimagiri, temporarily quelled the feud between the two factions.This move, the fog demon called "Tianfeng let the king".

After Jihui succeeded to the throne, he did not disgrace his mission and reformed the hereditary system of Wenyao of the Wuyao, stipulating that the future transmission of Wang Wenyao must be passed on between the two lines of Wuyao on the mainland and the island, and cannot be hereditary.The successor needs to be selected from the candidates with the best overall performance.Jihui's reforms led the Wu Yao to embark on the road of prosperity and strength. The Wu Yao woke up from the state of isolation, and they chose to join this increasingly connected world. During the second Quebah War, in order to encourage the clansmen to strengthen their pulse skills to resist the invasion of foreign tribes and Quiba, the Wuyao Tianchongzhoujian carried out a further reform of the Wenyao system, which continued to use and optimize the mainland Wuyao and Island Fog. The two factions alternately inherited Wang Wenyao's system.He called the faction he represented, whose main body was the mainland fog demon, the "Xingyao faction", while the other faction, whose main body was the mainland fog monster, was called the "Ye Zhang faction".It also stipulates that in the future, regardless of the fog monsters of the mainland or the fog monsters of the island, they can apply to join any faction.Within the two factions, they are divided into nine ranks according to the level of pulse technique. It is stipulated that only those with pulse skills of 1 to 3 ranks can be awarded civilian tattoos, and those with pulse skills of 4 to 8 ranks can be awarded monster tattoos. , the general Wenyao can only be awarded when the pulse technique reaches the 9th level, and Wang Wenyao must be selected from the 9th level pulse technique.It is also stipulated that Wang Wenyao will be elected every 5 years. During the election, the 9th dan who has the most ability to govern will be selected by a referendum within each faction. Then the representatives elected by the two parties will fight with each other with pulse skills, and the winner will be the favorite of heaven.

The reform of the sword actually softened the racial conflict between the mainland and the island fog. Hundreds of years later, the ratio of the mainland and island fog within the two factions has been basically balanced. To form a unified race, the difference between the two factions is mainly the difference in pulse technique.On the other hand, the reform did encourage the practice of pulse technique and ensured the quality of candidates of all levels.The change rules have replaced the egalitarianism of the two factions that were rigidly stipulated during the reform of Jihui to competition, which has promoted overall progress.

During this period, the Mist Demon discovered silver mines and accumulated a lot of wealth for the Kingdom of Night through foreign trade.At the same time, tourism was also opened for the first time. Although there are not many foreign tourists coming to the island, after all, friendly rather than hostile contact with the outside world has begun.At that time, the main races that visited Nongwu Island were Hui Yao, Lin Yao and Tian Shen.Huiyao travelers tend to have "secret reactions", and Wuyao specially set up a "light path" for them, which reflects Wuyao's hospitable and open attitude, and to a certain extent weakens Huiyao's traditional hostility towards them.

In the peaceful development, the Xingyao faction's pulse skills gradually became stronger than the Yezhang faction, and the Zhang faction was unable to govern for many consecutive years, and the Xingyao faction monopolized the profits of the silver mine for a long time.It is difficult for the Yezhang faction to develop and grow, and the contradiction between the two factions gradually emerges. In 653 of Kuiba, an occasional mist demon was burned by the light of the light path, which provided an excuse for the Yezhang faction to make trouble.The Yezhang faction publicly condemned the Xingyao faction's way of flattering Hui Yao, and proposed to amend the constitution to separate power from the Xingyao faction.They smashed the lights, attacked foreign tourists, and finally assassinated Tian Chong, which led to the outbreak of the Wu Yao civil war. Twenty-five years later, the civil war ended and the Yezhang faction took power.Most of the Xingyao faction were massacred, and the rest hid their identities and turned to underground activities. After the Yezhang Sect came to power, only the clansmen were allowed to practice the traditional pulse technique "Extinguishing Light".The new favorite, Ye Ying, has mastered the very dangerous "Ye Lan Biting People" pulse technique, and tried in vain to maximize the power of Ye Lan biting people, not only to keep the dense fog island in darkness, but also to put the surrounding areas in shadow under.The following year, when his extinction technique reached its peak, his spirit also fell into ecstasy, and he began to kill innocent people indiscriminately.Even the Ye Zhang faction could no longer bear Ye Ying's tyranny, but at this time no one on the dense fog island could resist it. Yeying's extinguishing technique began to threaten the security of neighboring countries, and finally triggered a war between the demons.The reason is that Ye Ying announced the closure of tourism to Hui Yao and killed some Hui Yao tourists who were stranded on Nongwu Island.This incident triggered Hui Yao's dissatisfaction with Wu Yao since ancient times. Hui Yao still remembers the action of eliminating Hui Yao by Wu Yao in ancient times.The Hui Yaos protested verbally at first, asking the Wu Yao to hand over the murderer, but Ye Ying relied on the power of "Ye Lan Biting People" and threatened Hui Yao instead. It would be polite if he didn't let them all fall into the "secret reaction". In 679 of Kuiba, Hui Yao protested and warned Wu Yao again. Unexpectedly, Wu Yao preemptively attacked Shu Country.After they arrived in the tree country, they deliberately destroyed the trees.The god Puxin sensed that the trees were damaged, so he went to Shuguo in 680 to join the battle to protect the forest in Kuiba, but the fog demon with strong pulse skills was still difficult to repel.Soon, Lin Yao suddenly joins the battle, and they find a new "entrance", which is to help Hui Yao and defend justice.Many fog demons themselves began to rebel against the tyrannical and perverted Ye Ying, planning to assassinate this lunatic.Under the joint attack of various forces, Ye Ying was assassinated and his power was basically wiped out. In 681 of Kuiba, the Xingyao faction Wuyao regained power, restored the previous system of two factions competing for power, and signed an agreement with Linyao and Huiyao to form an alliance of demons, and they agreed to be peaceful forever and not to invade each other.However, it is impossible to erase the bad memories left by the negative images in the history of Yeguo under the rule of Yeying and the mist demons. In the minds of the monsters of the land boundary, the mist demons are a kind of dark animals. Their dreams It is to swallow everything with darkness. This is the racial image of You Mi Kuang in the eyes of his companions, and he himself knows how people see them, so he is not only not frustrated with the result of only five people participating in his combat team, but rather satisfied. "After all, there are still five," he said to the five applicants, "five sincerely, that's great." "You'd better pick some more people." The applicants seemed to think that such a few people were not enough to form a combat team. "No, no, no, it must be voluntary. This is a night battle. In many cases, no one can see the other. We must trust each other." In this way, You Mi Kuang led his five-person night battle team to start the battle. Although as a fog demon, You Mi Kuang is usually not good at communicating with people, and he can't speak the language with his five comrades in arms, but they are fighting each other every day. In the side-by-side battles, they cooperated more and more tacitly. Encouraged by this, You Miya made the night battle plan more and more complex and ingenious. All the other comrades-in-arms don't quite know what they are busy with every day. At this moment, in order to prevent Quiba's spies from getting in, the Holy Alliance demanded to track down those who did not have Wen Yao.Misty Maniac soon determined that the five people who voluntarily signed up to join his group were completely white, but the long-term experience of fighting side by side told him that these five people were by no means Quebec's spies, but just wanted to get Wen Yao's identity through military exploits. people.Not only did he not report, but he helped those five people escape the interrogation. From then on, those five people regarded him as a friend. Soon, the Holy Alliance transferred the battlefield to the mainland, and even the Wu Yao could not go, but You Mi Kuang, who was in charge of the night battle, could go or not. Qualifications, the commander of Wu Yao wanted him to be a general of a legion, but he still chose to go to the mainland, in order to let his combat team survive, and the six brothers who were like brothers could fight side by side together. On the mainland battlefield, one day, You Miya got information that Kuiba had arrived in this theater to help in the battle, and was in a nearby camp.You Mi Kuang knew that this was a dream opportunity for him and his five brothers, especially those five brothers, they were all very excited, as if Quiba was destined to die in their hands. They formulated a very careful operation plan, lurking in place after dark, and began to operate in the middle of the night.However, they underestimated the vigilance and combat effectiveness of the Quiba Guards.They were discovered when they were approaching Kuiba's residence, and You Mikuang gave the order to evacuate, and the five brothers were eager to do their best, and for the first time defied his order and rushed straight there with brute force.Because this kind of situation had never happened before, You Mi Kuang didn't realize it all at once, that is, in this instant, the five brothers had all died in battle. You Mi Kuang didn't leave, he watched as the Kuiba guards called soldiers to drag the five corpses to the grass not far away, buried them hastily, and then quietly evacuated.After that, You Mikuang wrote the names of the five people into the death list, and listed all the previous achievements.However, because these five people did not have Wen Yao, the Holy Alliance refused to recognize them as soldiers of the Alliance Army, as if these five people did not exist at all. "Did they die because they resisted Kuiba? Could it be because they lost their lives without Wen Yao, but they didn't even have the qualifications to be Kuiba's enemy?" "Don't get excited. You should know that after a strict investigation, there shouldn't be anyone without Wen Yao in our army. Seeing that you are the possible owner of the fog demon general Wen Yao, the coalition forces have not punished you, which is enough." You're losing face." v The obsessive man no longer argued, he sneaked into Quiba's camp after night fell, and set up a wooden board where the five brothers were buried, with the names of the five people and the words "Quebah's enemy" written on it , Then hung his tattoo on it, straightened up, and stood silently in front of the tomb for five days and five nights.Although in the enemy's camp, no one bothered him. In the sun, deadly to the Mist, the Mesmer stared at the shadow of the grave and plank that varied in length with the light.His skin was burned, peeled, cracked, and oozing blood, and he didn't try to take the wooden umbrella that every fog demon carried on his back. On the fifth day, when a person passed by him, he took the wooden umbrella from his back, opened it, and handed it to him. He glanced at the person who handed him the umbrella, but when he took the umbrella, he saw the person's hand, and had a vague impression that the person's hand was a little black. In the second half of the fifth night, You Mi Kuang left the tomb and walked towards Kuiba's tent, where the lights were still on, just like the situation when he and his brothers were preparing to attack there a few days ago. He was immediately discovered by the guards, and a group of people rushed towards him. He didn't flinch, and rushed forward desperately, even rushing into Kuiba's big tent.At that time, Kuiba was eating supper, and the Saku chef who was guarding him was about to rush up, but was held down by Kuiba with one hand, and Kuiba's other hand had already grabbed the head of the obsessive man who rushed in front of him.The obsessive man grabbed Quiba's hand and tried to break free, but there was no hope. He suddenly noticed the gray-black color of that hand, just like the hand that handed him the umbrella during the day. You Miyao stopped struggling, and was grabbed by Kuiba just like that, said five ordinary names, and then began to tell the life stories of the five Wuwenyao warriors, with a calm but slightly sad tone.The chefs nearby and the guards who rushed into the big tent listened and applauded. After listening to You Mi Kuang finished telling the stories of the five people, Quiba pushed You Mi Kuang away. "Listen up, everyone," Kuiba said loudly, "these five people will be remembered by all the officers and soldiers of the Lingshan Army because they swore to defend their hometown and resist Kuiba, and they will be regarded as mortal enemies!" The chef's applause grew louder, and the obsessive saw that the saku, who was twice the height of Quebah, was in tears. "Now, I want to avenge the soldiers who died in the night raid, now!" Kuiba did not order the troops to attack, but broke into the coalition camp with You Mi Kuang alone in the dark night, and killed the coalition officer who rejected You Mi Kuang's application. "I've already avenged my brothers," Quiba scolded the fanatic, "When will you be strong enough to avenge your brothers?" "One day, one day." Yumi said bitterly. Kuiba turned around and walked out of the camp, You Mikuang followed beside him, still walking with hatred on his face, and walked back to Kuiba's camp. From then on, Misty Man became the leader of the night attack team of the Lingshan Army. After each battle with the Holy Alliance, he would keep a vigil for all the soldiers who died in battle and record the list of those killed. He became good friends with Da Cang, the chef of Kuiba, and established a meridian fighting group with Qi Hengsan, becoming the most famous fog monster in the world.After each victory, he would happily say to the chef and even Quiba, "One day, I will be strong enough to defeat Quiba and avenge the five of them."
