He had received news before that two people "suspected" to be executive officers, Ember and Fools, went to Heguan.
Yes, Guilong still feels that the young master and the skirmishers are not like the executives in his impression.
A person with a simple mind and a mouth as tough as a duck can be an executive?
"Otherwise? You want me to fall from the sky, right?" Yi Yan raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms.
Originally, he wanted to just create a phantom to get rid of the problem, but then he thought about it. The old finger given to Gui Long's faded person was originally a back-up to prevent the stragglers from being disobedient.
Now that the stragglers have gone to Heguan, this faded old finger should be of no use. Who knew that Gui Long would actually put it to use.
Yu Yan thought he must have encountered some serious accident, so he ran over just to be on the safe side.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter so much. I'll tell you..."
"I heard everything." Yu Jin waved his hand, pushed open the door of the cabin and walked out.
There was thick smoke outside and the battle between the two sides was still at a stalemate. It seemed that the fight was far from over.
"What happened? Are the two sides fighting again?" Seeing this, Yi Yan asked Gui Long.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have asked you to come over." Guilong shook his head, he was also confused now.
"The conflict started to intensify a few days ago. I thought they were just dealing with the situation because they had missions from above."
"Now it seems that there is a strong momentum for a decisive battle." Guilong looked at the tragic battlefield in the distance, unable to see clearly. But somehow, there was always a scream in his ears.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion or if he really has amazing hearing.
"A decisive battle? It really looks like there is a decisive battle." Yi Yan nodded. This battle was much more tragic than the previous petty fights.
It should be the most seen when Ember comes to Inazuma, no, that’s not right! It should be the most conflict I have seen since coming to this world.
Thinking of this, Yi Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional. I don't want to know this, but I am shocked when I think about it. This world is so peaceful.
There are almost no wars between countries. Even the wars in front of us are at best civil wars.
"Although I don't like to meddle in other people's internal affairs..." Yu Jin said, and took out the notebook he had been writing in since he came to Inazuma.
"But it makes me sad to think that one of the two precious people can win."
After glancing at the series of deduction items on the small notebook, Yi Yan felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
He originally thought that at least one of the shogunate forces and the rebels would get a positive score, but in the end, let alone a positive score, he didn't even bother to write down the deduction items for both sides.
"I'll be right back!" After saying this to Gui Long, Yi Yan bent his legs and prepared to run to the battlefield.
"boom!"
"My ship!"
The small wooden boat seemed to be equipped with a huge cannon that its tonnage could not bear. When it fired the cannonball Ember, it was also shaken left and right by the huge recoil it brought.
Where the ember had stood, a large crater was made in the wooden deck. Beside the big pit, Gui Long was covering his face and crying.
……
The scene in front of him became blurry due to the rapid passing of the embers, but this did not affect his progress at all.
The battlefield was filled with flames, and amid the smoke and shouts of killing, everyone was red-eyed. They just waved the weapons in their hands and chopped all the living creatures in front of them into pieces.
Only the armor that is exactly the same as their own can awaken the remaining sanity of the soldiers. When facing their companions wearing the same clothes as themselves, their sword-swinging movements will be slightly stagnant.
Under this situation, if you want to restore the people who have lost their minds to normal, you need something more inspiring than the war itself, such as the victorious Charge...
Or something that can awaken fear in people's hearts in an instant, such as the sound of a defeated drum.
Of course, Embers had neither. So he needs to make a bigger noise, big enough that everyone has to pay attention to him.
"call--"
The roar caused by the squeezing of the air resounded through the sky, and a bright flash of light tore through the rising dark smoke and rushed straight to the center of the battlefield.
"Boom!"
The flash of light fell, and the deafening explosion instantly suppressed the killing cries on the battlefield.
Every soldier present woke up, but before they could react, the waves of air swept them all away.
"Ahem! There seem to be some familiar faces here..."
Ember waved his hand to blow away the smoke in front of his eyes. He raised his head and looked around, and saw some familiar figures.
Chapter 491 Changes in the Shogunate
2024-02-16
"Those purple guys, one of you should recognize me, right?" Walking out of the rising sand, Yi Yan looked at the surprised shogunate troops on one side of the battlefield.
Many of these panicked faces were ones that Yi Yan had seen before - they were once recruits at Tianling's training ground, and now they were finally able to test the results of their training on the battlefield.
But looking at their trembling eyes and their blood-stained bodies, it was obvious that their training did not include psychological training.
"This...this guy is the one who demolished the Tianling Fengxing Mansion!"
"Didn't the General impose a divine punishment on him? Why can he still stand here well?!"
"He...he accepted divine punishment!"
……
There was a lot of discussion, and the appearance of embers made many people in the shogunate retreat.
These people had personally experienced the strength of Ember, and now seeing him again on the battlefield, in addition to being surprised, they couldn't help but feel a little more fear in their hearts.
A person with this kind of strength is enough to change the situation on the battlefield!
"Mr. Ember, what are you..."
While the shogunate army was still panicking due to the appearance of embers, a figure walked out of the resistance army on the other side. It was none other than Goro, the general of Kaijijima.
"I also want to ask you, what are you doing?"
Yi Yan turned his head and glanced at Wu Lang. The dark peeping slit made Wu Lang tremble.
"The trouble caused by the shogunate has nothing to do with Kaijijima!" Goro's throat rolled several times, and he quickly explained to Ember.
This war was initiated unilaterally by the shogunate and had nothing to do with their Kaiji Island.
Ember nodded upon seeing this, then he raised his head and shouted loudly at the shogunate crowd in the distance: "Where is the shogunate? Those two boys from Kujo, come out!"
"Haha, Lord Kujo is in ill health, so I'm sorry that I can't contact you."
"Besides, we don't have anything to say!"
"All of them! Charge!"
Cold snorts came from the purple crowd in the distance. Unlike the rebels, the leader of the shogunate directly ordered the attack to continue without even coming out to see the embers.
"Oh? Has there been a change?" Yi Jin felt a little clear when he heard that the voice was so unfamiliar.
No wonder the behavior of the shogunate has changed so much. It turns out that the coach has been replaced. In this case, everything can be explained.
"Belongs to Haiji Island, prepare to engage the enemy!"
Hearing the war cry again, Wulang stood up the hair on his body almost instinctively.
With his pupils raised and his teeth bared, he quickly waved to the sergeants behind him, instructing them to change their formation.
"Kill!!!"
The military orders were like mountains. Even though they knew that there were embers of terrifying strength in front of them, the soldiers of the shogunate still strode forward.
"It's so noisy!" Hearing the continuous killing sounds, Yi Yan plucked his ears. He lowered his head and saw the red blood at his feet, and kicked him a few times in disgust.
"You are responsible for the mess you caused!"
The red light flashed in Ember's hand, and as his palm danced, the blood flowing on the ground seemed to have a life of its own and began to move.
Thorns of Punishment - heretical magic of banished sinners. The most hated magic in the academy.
It can damage itself with thorns of sin, summon thorns of blood that crawl away from the ground, and attack from the enemy's feet. Can be cast continuously.
Sinners with eyes pierced by thorns found blood stars in their eternal darkness.
The Blood Flame Magic should have been guided by his own blood, but such a trivial matter would not cause Ember to use his own blood.
So he used the blood flowing on the battlefield.
The blood all over the battlefield started to move. They quickly climbed up the feet of every shogunate like vines.
Climbing, entanglement, and stabbing were all completed in almost an instant, so fast that the charging soldiers didn't even have time to react.
When they felt stinging pain all over their bodies and their vision was filled with blood, they were shocked to find that they had been trapped in a blood-colored thorn cage without knowing when.
The blood flowed out along the spikes, and then turned into part of the thorn cage, further growing the cage.
The more fierce the people struggled, the more blood flowed out, and the faster the cage grew.
Realizing this calmed even the craziest soldiers.
In an instant, blood rose from the ground, and a forest of thorns grew on the battlefield.
The commotion on the battlefield suddenly subsided, and the rebels who had prepared and formed a formation to meet the enemy did not even react.
"What? Do you want to try it too?" Hearing the heavy breathing behind him and the sound of gold clanging against armor, Yi Yan tilted his head and asked.
"No...don't dare!" Wulang immediately trembled when he met Yu Yan's gaze. After stiffly clasping his fists at the embers and nodding, he shouted to the sergeant behind him:
"Haizhi Island belongs to us, retreat three miles and set up camp on the spot!"
"Back three miles and set up camp on the spot!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As soon as Wu Lang finished speaking, the rhythmic drums and trumpets, mixed with the sound of the crowd retreating, resounded throughout the battlefield.
"That's pretty well done." Seeing the red behind him recede like a tide, Yi Yan nodded with satisfaction.
"That's natural. If the shogunate hadn't sent troops, we wouldn't have made such a fuss." Goro nodded quickly.
"Okay, you'd better take care of the people below you, lest they come out and cause trouble again."
Ember glanced at the retreating resistance army. The valuables inside were no less than those in the shogunate army.
"I'm going to see the two boys from the Kujo family and find out what happened. Before that, I hope nothing big happens here."
