# Chapter 1104: A Sudden Battle Royale!
"What is this?"
"Are they shooting a movie? Miko-chan, quickly look for the cameras!"
"Where are the actors?"
"Have we already been filmed?"
At Ginza Avenue 6-chome, a large crowd of men and women gathered, looking at the stone palace that had appeared out of thin air in the center of the intersection.
The stone palace was very tall, estimated to be twenty to thirty meters high, and also very large, completely blocking the entire avenue, preventing vehicles from passing in all four directions.
Its appearance was also very peculiar. The gray-white walls were inlaid with ice-blue crystals, and the interior was pitch black, as if filled with wisps of black smoke.
They chattered non-stop, discussing animatedly, occasionally shaking their heads and looking around, trying to find the cameras and film crew they imagined.
However, four people in the crowd had exceptionally grim expressions.
Tekka Uchiha and Pakura, along with the other two, had already realized the strangeness of the situation.
This was not their ninja's genjutsu!
There were no other ninja nearby, so how did this appear, and who created it?
Suddenly.
A slightly rough roar came from inside the stone palace.
Then, everyone present felt a blur before their eyes, only perceiving a black shadow quickly sweeping overhead.
But Tekka Uchiha and the others saw the other party's figure clearly in the first instant.
This was actually a flying dragon with a dark yellow abdomen and deep blue back and wings.
Riding on it was an ancient knight covered head-to-toe in silver-gray armor, wearing a crimson cloak over his shoulders, and holding a steel-bladed spear. He was scanning the citizens below with a cold gaze.
At this moment, the people also saw the other party's appearance, and exclamations rose one after another.
But not a single person showed a panicked or fearful expression, nor did anyone think of fleeing back.
Instead, they all pulled out their mobile phones and turned on the camera function.
Clearly, they still thought this was some kind of event being held?
As for the flying dragon, perhaps some kind of virtual image was used?
Although in 2002, this technology still existed entirely in imagination and only appeared in movies and TV shows.
But no one, in any case, believed it was a real flying dragon.
However, some people who had been splashed by the flying dragon's saliva were already dumbfounded.
This warm touch sensation, this foul smell, it didn't seem like a phantom image, did it?
[Thump thump thump thump thump]
Before everyone could react to the flying dragon knight who had rushed out first.
They heard strange sounds coming from inside the stone palace again.
And this time, it sounded orderly, but very dense and heavy footsteps, as well as horse hooves?
At this moment, Tekka Uchiha, Pakura, and the other two were silently retreating backward.
Because Hyuga Gangliang had just whispered to them that there was a cold weapon army column coming out from inside, complete with cavalry, infantry, and archers. Besides that, there were also many beastmen resembling the Mink Tribe.
In short, it was very strange.
They had better hide in the shadows first to observe the situation.
But they couldn't just disappear using Invisibility Technique or leave using Body Flicker Technique, so they could only retreat slowly like this.
Just then, other citizens saw a platoon of ancient soldiers walk out from inside the stone palace, holding a square iron shield in their left hand, a steel-bladed spear in their right hand, and wearing a red cape on their backs.
And behind them was a group of humanoid monsters with ferocious expressions but diverse appearances?
Thanks to Japan's extremely developed manga industry, many people immediately recognized the more classic images among them.
Green-skinned, pointy-eared goblins holding clubs, gray-blue skinned trolls with saliva dripping from their mouths, and pig-head persons and kobolds holding weapons.
Then, further behind them.
Another cavalry unit walked out, whose warhorses were even covered in a layer of iron armor!
"Uh..."
"What is this? Cosplay?"
"Speaking of which, there does seem to be a 'Doujinshi Convention' being held nearby, but isn't this a bit too realistic, especially those monsters..."
In fact, many people already felt something was wrong.
But based on their rationality, they kept reminding themselves that these should be fake, just a large-scale performance.
If that were truly the case, wouldn't they be laughed at by others if they showed a panicked reaction?
So, only a few people in the crowd ran backward, still standing in place, observing these ancient army that looked full of fantasy style.
Until...
Two soldiers on the opposite side blew the ivory horns decorated with gold they held in their hands.
A loud horn sound.
It immediately resounded throughout the entire area, which had become completely silent at some point.
This sound invigorated everyone's spirit, but before they could react, they saw a chilling scene.
Three platoons of soldiers on the opposite side actually walked out, drawing their bows and nocking arrows, aiming at the sky above their side.
They were going to volley fire?
Some people showed expressions of unbelievable fear.
Hey, are you kidding?!
The arrowheads flashing with cold light in the sunlight seemed to be the real deal?
People would die if those were shot over!
However.
The archers on the opposite side said nothing, only releasing the bowstrings, shooting arrow after arrow into the high altitude.
The whistling sound of them cutting through the air became the death god's laughter at this moment.
"Run!!!"
"They're serious, they're going to kill people!!!"
The men and women in the entire area could no longer hold back and fled frantically towards the 5 Chome intersection.
But it was already too late.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
"Er ah—"
"No!"
For a moment, screams, screams, and the sound of arrows piercing bodies filled every corner of the area.
Well-dressed urban men and women were constantly shot down onto the ground, gradually soaked all over by the blood flowing from beneath them.
"Get inside the building first!"
Pakura easily turned sideways to avoid one arrow, then caught another, and knocked away several subsequent arrows flying towards her.
Tekka Uchiha, Hyuga Gangliang, and Yamanaka Kōsuke also dealt with it with ease and, following her instructions, quickened their steps to enter the nearby building.
There were also many citizens who had come in here to seek refuge.
But extreme panic made them completely fail to notice the four figures in the corner disappearing into thin air.
At the same time.
Maintaining the Invisibility Technique effect, Tekka Uchiha, Pakura, and the other two returned to the rooftop of the building, their expressions grim as they scanned back and forth at the battle royale below.
At this moment, the other side was no longer just shooting arrows.
Those goblins, trolls, kobolds, and other monsters also rushed out.
They chopped and killed anyone they saw.
Even attractive women were smashed to death with clubs by pig-head persons.
And the dragon knights in the sky drove the flying dragons beneath them to chase their respective targets, either piercing their abdomen with the spear in their hands or letting the dragon's mouth tear the person's body apart.
In just one or two minutes, the originally extremely bustling, clean, and bright Ginza Avenue had become strewn with corpses and bloodstains, like the most tragic asura field.
This was a massacre!
"Could that be another form of Star Gate? Are these the Zero Magic World homeland troops dispatched by the World Government?"
Yamanaka Kōsuke speculated in a low voice, somewhat hesitantly.
Their first stop after arriving in the Zero Magic World through the Star Gate was that Sky Island called Albion Kingdom.
So, the few of them had seen cold weapon army that included flying dragons, griffons, and various mixed monsters, possessing a fantasy style.
This mysterious army currently wantonly slaughtering the citizens of Japan was clearly of this type.
"Impossible. Even if it is, we should have received notification in advance!"
However, Tekka Uchiha's words lacked confidence.
Pakura suddenly said, "Let's report to Captain Yamanaka Inoichi first, and then continue to follow them."
"Also, pay attention, the flag these people are flying is not the Five-Circle Cross, which means they are not World Government troops!"
