Chapter 771: The Shogunate's Questioning, Himukura's Fear and Rage

War should not be started lightly.

Therefore, the generals from both sides were naturally not the ones who came here.

The front battlefield is at Mingzhui Beach, and the main force is still fighting for the important road of Mingzhui Beach. Naturally, only a small force of each type comes here.

The rebels held guns and looked at the shogunate army with vigilance and anger.

All six of them looked young, with a youthful temperament. Although they were eager to fight, the power they displayed caused the shogunate army to be full of ridicule and disdain.

"Heh! Where did this young brat come from? Have you ever been to the battlefield? This can't be your first time in action!"

"Do you know how to cut someone?"

There was a burst of laughter from the shogunate army.

They were numerous and powerful, more than a dozen of them.

The leader was obviously a senior general in the army.

He was wearing a helmet, full body armor, with the triple thunder mark on his chest. He had a burly figure and a two-handed sword on his waist. Just a pair of eyes was enough to make the six rebels hold their breath and feel a little breathless.

The murderous aura, evil spirit, superb martial arts and the oppressive feeling after experiencing battle are like a real storm.

The general said nothing, allowing the shogunate soldiers behind him to jeer and jeer, provoking the resistance army's young men who were gritting their teeth.

Maybe, there will be a chance to lure him to another place and kill him directly later.

Every soldier of the shogunate army wore a black hat to block arrows, and they wore armor and held guns. Even if they were sparsely distributed, they looked like a group of jackals, with an aura that was intimidating.

Fine armor, sharp sword, and sharp eyes.

The rebels had neither breastplates nor helmets or hats. In comparison, they were like weak sheep facing a pack of wolves with fangs and claws.

The general of the shogunate army looked at the hundred-meter-high tree in the middle of the village of Himiki from afar. The huge canopy was naturally glowing, and golden rock element crystal butterflies were fluttering in the air.

Seeing crystal butterflies of other elements in the Kingdom of Thunder and seeing a magical big tree in this Feimu Village, it really was like a miracle had descended here.

Could it be that those rumors are true?

Before coming, the shogunate army held a meeting to discuss the strange fact that there were no casualties in the previous wars, although everyone believed at the time that it was the shogun who helped the shogunate and achieved an unprecedented victory.

But in the past two days, these high-level officials have also learned about the rumors within the shogunate army, that when they saw the man in white, he used his arm to block the sword and used the elements to heal himself.

The other party's appearance is exactly the same as the person who disrupted the "Eye Hunting Order" ceremony on the wanted poster.

They called on lower-level soldiers to report what they had encountered, but the rumor disappeared in an instant.

No one said anything, no one reported it. Who doesn’t want to survive the war and have more chances of life?

It took a lot of effort to find out the details.

Jiang Yi's words of universal salvation angered many people in the army.

"This is a tactic to attack the heart. A vicious plan to weaken the fighting spirit of the shogunate army."

"He is not saving people, but spreading words with evil intentions."

"There may be a rebel strategist behind the scenes."

"If he has already joined the rebels, he must have a plan to harm us."

"We must put a stop to this and arrest him according to the wanted warrant."

After the words were spoken, the parliament was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

This is true, but we can't catch him on the battlefield, and we can't even see his figure obscured by the illusion. How can we catch him and who should we send to catch him?

Lord Kujo Sara?

The process has not yet been worked out.

Then, more news came.

On Bayun Island, the damaged talismans were repaired, the giant snake spirit that hated the people of the victor and the "evil god" that used its power to corrode the shogunate army was suppressed, the dark clouds and thunder disappeared, and there was no more ominous evil spirit on the island.

In the past, almost everyone in Himi Village was sick and dying. Now, the sick have been treated and the village has become a haven for refugees and civilians from Yagyu Island, and now it has attracted nearly a thousand people.

Furthermore, the village of Himiki rebelled, taking the unlawful step of betraying the faith of His Majesty the Great Gosho and bowing down to a false god to protect the village.

At the same time, they slandered the reputation of the shogunate army, which is quite bad and someone must be sent to be held accountable.

The generals of the shogunate army looked at the tree and the villagers of Himiki Village who had gathered here, holding weapons, all of them in high spirits, with determined and hateful eyes.

"This is not easy!" he sighed in his heart.

Unfortunately, there is always a general who will come to deal with this unfortunate thing, and he is the most unlucky, so he has to come.

"There may not be a true god in the Himuk Village, but there are clearly terrifying beings."

On the Bayun Island, there was a battle between a nine-headed monster and a golden tree, and elements rioted. This information had long been delivered to the camp of the Takanashi Shogunate's army.

"Hiki Village, who is the leader at this moment?"

As soldiers of the Shogunate Army, they naturally cannot corrupt the dignity of the Shogunate Army and the glory of the Tenryo-no-Mikoto.

He was so arrogant that he didn't even bother to give his name. He crossed his arms over his chest and asked directly in a deep voice.

"We are here to investigate the matter of the Hiki Village hiding wanted criminals and worshipping false gods."

"Please cooperate and explain as soon as possible, otherwise the shogunate will regard your entire village as traitors."

"Behead him on the spot! As a warning to others!"

Naked murderous intent emanated from his eyes.

The shogunate soldiers behind looked at the black masses of villagers, without showing any fear of being outnumbered. Once the army formed a battle formation, even if there were hundreds or thousands of them, how could a group of civilians resist their killing?

A few charges made them flee in all directions and kneel down to beg for mercy.

"The Way of the Lord is magnificent, and the God of Ming is eternal."

The sergeant of the shogunate army shouted loudly.

"You are so bold as to betray His Majesty the Great Palace."

"If you do not return to the right path, you and your false god will be annihilated by the lightning."

"Why don't you come quickly!"

The power of weapons and relics was unleashed, and the sharp edge of the spear was visible to the naked eye.

The shogunate soldiers took a step forward together, with a roar like thunder.

Some refugees who had just arrived at Himuk Village became agitated and retreated slightly in fear.

There are only a dozen or so shogunate troops in front of them, but behind them are tens of thousands of shogunate troops and the gods of Inazuma.

Thousands of years of rule and the oppression that has penetrated deeply into people's hearts are not so easy to eliminate.

Whispers and a sense of panic spread throughout Himuk Village.

Sakamoto inside was one of the refugees.

"Damn it! I finally came to this peaceful Himiki Village from Tamaki Sand, but now I have to face the Shogunate army and then run away?" he said angrily.

He fled from Nashiki Beach to Tadasu Sand, but after hearing about what happened in Himiki Village, he ran back to Yabujima Island.

No one knew each other in the chaos, and they showed their weapons when they met. He was so scared that he threw away his luggage on the road. He fled all the way here penniless and hungry.

There used to be bad rumors about the "evil spirit" in Himi Village. When he came here, he found that the rumor was indeed true, but the latter one that there was a "god" blessing was also true.

He witnessed with his own eyes the invocation of gods in Feimu Village and the miracles in the village. He received relief food for the refugees and arranged for them to live in temporary houses and tents.

Everything was so beautiful, like a non-existent pure land, making him want to settle down and become a part of it.

"I really can't bear to leave!" Jiichiro, who had fled with him, also sighed sadly.

"I really want to fight with them! They won't let me go even though I finally have a safe place to live." Sakamoto clenched his fists, furious. He felt ashamed of his fear and panic retreat just now, and couldn't help but take a step forward.

"Escape, where can we escape to after leaving Himiki Village? If we go to Narukami Island, we will have no support and will just be new conscripts to step on the sand and cannon fodder of Nashiki Beach." Jiichiro looked desperate. Inazuma was so big that there was no place for people like them.

There was almost no other choice except to join the army and fight.

One by one, the thoughts of people other than Sakamoto and Jiichiro were also changing.

Panic, fear and anger surged in the Himeki Village like waves. Those refugees who did not believe in the faith and even felt that the Himeki villagers' worship of "false gods" was indeed disrespectful to His Majesty the Ogosho, suddenly understood the believers in the Himeki Village a little bit.

This is the pure land!

It is not that "God" needs them, but that they need "God".

They need the "Bodhi Lord with a thousand hands and arms, sitting upright on the lotus platform, compassionately saving people."

"We can't retreat. They can't kill us all!" someone shouted.

"That's right! That's right! Whoever retreats is a coward." Someone raised his arm, "Don't forget where you have lived in these few days, where you have eaten these few days, and who treated your illnesses and wounds."

The voice first came from one person, then from ten people, and then from a hundred people.

In numbers comes courage.

Men, women, old and young, came from the back of Feimu Village in a steady stream, holding hoes, sickles, swords, spears, and even a few wearing armor that they had obtained from nowhere, and gathered at the entrance of the village.

Some of those who retreat do so actively, some passively, and finally they move forward calmly.

"roll!"

"roll!"

"Get out of here!"

"We did not betray His Majesty the Great, it was you, the Shogun, who betrayed the people of Inazuma."

The roar of nearly a thousand people shook the sky.

"An dare!"

"How dare you, a bunch of guys, rebel!" Before the general of the Shogunate army could say anything, several soldiers of the Shogunate army could no longer bear it. They shouted angrily and rushed forward with guns.

"Qiang!"

An enchanted sword full of thunder was drawn out, and Washizu, wearing purple-gray armor, blocked the spear.

The surging true energy surged throughout the body, bringing with it strong winds and waves.

"I am the leader of the village, the former mayor of Himiki Village, and the current mayor, Washizu!"

His eyes beneath the black mask looked at the sergeant of the Shogunate Army.

"If you want war, I will give you war for this pure land."

"Blood debt must be repaid with blood!"

Hatred shone from his eyes, and the surging true energy seemed to undergo a mutation in his body, turning his blood bright red, making him look like he was covered in plasma.

The murderous intent was even greater than that of the shogunate army.

"Blood debt must be repaid with blood!"

The former villagers of Himiki Village and the miners moved forward together.

They have not forgotten the hatred, nor have they let it go, but they can endure it for the sake of peace and tranquility, suppressing the hatred and pushing it into the grave.

If someone comes to destroy this pure land, then there is no need to suppress the hatred.

"We wish to follow the village chief and transform into Shuras."

These people who have been invaded by the "evil spirit" and woke up from madness have specific characteristics that are not found in ordinary people. They are the changes caused by their unique experiences and the sublimation of their consciousness after fighting against madness.

Weapons were drawn out one after another, although some of the weapons in their hands were just blunt swords, training broadswords, iron-tipped spears...these were not very powerful swords.

The six young men from the resistance army were delighted when they saw this scene, and instantly stood on the same front with Himukumura.

"The shogunate army tricked the villagers of Himiki Village into falling ill due to the influence of the 'evil spirit' and sent people to pretend to rescue them. After the villagers boarded the boat, they sank the boat and killed everyone. This is a heinous crime."

"It was you who abandoned the people of His Majesty the Great Palace, and it was you who destroyed the reputation of the Inazuma Shogunate's army."

"If you want to massacre the residents of Himiki Village, then step over our dead bodies."

Six young rebels stood in front of the shogunate army and shouted loudly.

Along with the worship of the "new god" by Himiki Village, there was also the scandal of the shogunate army. The horrific killing should also be an opportunity for their resistance army to recruit more comrades.
