Our East Factory needs talents like you

Chapter 415
Gaiden 13 Qilin and Shanglong ([-])
The sea near the walled city is always filled with the occasional bloody smell and the smell of rotting corpses. Yanqi, who left the watchtower, could hardly bear the smell of death, and he seemed to be unable to bear it again and passed out.Yanqi's accompanying banshee, Wo Fei, poked her head out from his shadow and reminded:
"If you faint because of the smell of blood, we will also be affected. If you want to leave with the king, you'd better act immediately. It must be because of the presence of the king that you came here from Pengshan .If the king dies in the war, then the country of Yan will lose its king again."

"But that guy is fighting, I'm afraid he will also bring chaos to Yan Country, and I'm afraid it will make Yan Country worse."

At night, in order to judge whether Komatsu Shanglong is qualified to be a king, Yanqi secretly climbed to the roof of Chengzhai Honmaru and eavesdropped on the meeting between Shanglong and his retainers.

"What? Let me sneak away alone?" Shang Long asked half-jokingly: "What kind of stupid talk is this?"

But the veteran of the Komatsu family insisted on admonishing him: "The Komatsu clan will continue to exist only if the lord is there. We mixed shadow fighters in the fleeing team. If Murakami chases after him, the lord can take advantage of this opportunity to escape."

"Are you kidding me!" Shang Long stood up and shouted angrily, "I am the lord of this land, are you teaching me to abandon the people and live alone?"

"Because you are the master, please live on no matter what. Only if you are alive, the Dongbao Fleet and Juggernaut will have the chance to avenge the Komatsu family!"

"I used to be called the young master by everyone, and I have been respected by everyone in the territory until now. If I abandon them and ignore them, how can I face these people?"

"Little Lord!"

"These people don't appreciate my personality, nor do they admire my magnanimity. It's just because of my relationship with the Dongbao Chamber of Commerce that one day I will become the master of the Komatsu family, so they treat me differently. Only me Survive, and then you want me to revive Xiaosong’s family? It’s ridiculous! What kind of country is it if the people are sent to die to save the lord? If I’m the only one left in the whole country, what do you want me to do in the country? "

Facing Shang Long's questioning, all the retainers were unable to speak out for a long time.

In the end, Shang Long said calmly: "Tomorrow morning, I will take the lead in attacking the Murakami navy. Take advantage of this opportunity, I must let the people escape!" Then, Shang Long patted his head again, and said with a smile: "Just Let's see how many people's lives can be saved with this head!"

In the early morning of the next day, Shang Long took the lead as he said last night, and took the lead in killing Murakami's navy.It's a pity that Shanglong's side has few major generals. Even though they have been leading the Murakami navy around the sea, as time goes by, Shanglong's side still suffers heavy casualties.Gradually, Shang Long's fleet was also surrounded by the Murakami Water Corps. Even though Shang Long was fighting to the death, his companions still fell in front of him one by one, and Shang Long himself suffered multiple stab wounds.

"Young master, I..." The old minister walked up to Shang Long tremblingly, "I am... the last one..." After finishing speaking, the old minister died of anger.

When the veteran fell to the ground, Shang Long saw the two spears piercing his back.But Shang Long still laughed out loud, because they had won nearly two quarters of an hour for the common people.Just relying on this period of time, it is enough for the small morning boats of the common people to row four or five nautical miles!

"Very well, everyone is fighting desperately!"

After finishing speaking, Shang Long lowered his head, preparing to face his own death.

But just when the pirates from Murakami's family were about to chop off Shang Long's head, an inexplicable rain of arrows suddenly struck, killing all those still in front of Shang Long.Shang Long opened his eyes and saw that it was the people who were supposed to leave by boat and killed them back!
"Young master, we are here to save you!"

Seeing this situation, Shang Long did not feel any joy, but instead scolded angrily: "Bastard, why did you come back!"

Unfortunately, before the people on board could answer Shang Long's question, the arrow rain from the Murakami navy arrived as promised.

"stop it!"

Unfortunately, Murakami's arrow rain did not change direction because of Shang Long's roar.In an instant, the people on Xiaozao's boat fell into a pool of blood.There was no one standing on the boat, and there were only the painful groans of those who were about to die but not dead.

At the same time, Murakami's pirates boarded Shang Long's ship again, and swung their knives at Chao Shang Long.

At this critical moment, a huge silver-white sword suddenly slashed across a distance of [-] meters, directly smashing the pirate who was swinging the sword into a pool of meat sauce.The speed of this sword was so fast that it surpassed the speed of Yanqi Shiling (a monster ordered by Qilin), and the monster named Tiangou rushed into the air.

"System, recover the Dragon Slaying Sword!"

The next moment, the dragon-slaying giant sword that had fallen into the sea reappeared in Bao'er's hands.And Bao'er was wearing a bright silver plate armor with an extremely strange shape, standing on the bow of a Dongbao's two-masted clipper.

Obviously Dongbao's warships have already gone south, but why is there another Dongbao's warship here?Simple, because the ship's name is the "Millennium Falcon"!And the owner of the Millennium Falcon is...

It was Ryoma Sakamoto!

After Bao'er sent off the Yuanhang fleet in Nagoya, he went to his own Feiyu City for a stroll.After living in Feiyucheng for more than half a month, he brought his apprentice Jian Xin to return to the daimyo together.Then, Murakami's pirate army that attacked Komatsu's house happened to be caught by Bao'er who was going to visit Komatsu's house!

"It seems that the last time I didn't kill the Murakami clan, it was really a big mistake."

After finishing speaking, Bao'er put on the helmet and picked up the giant sword, and used Murakami's pirate ship as a springboard to leap all the way.It's just that every time Bao'er takes off, the boat under his feet will disintegrate with a huge metallic roar.

After overturning more than a dozen boats, Bao'er finally came to Komatsu Shanglong.

"Hey, Shanglong! It's me, Yui Kujo!"

But Shanglong's heart is ashamed now, and he no longer sees the high spirits of the past.

"I... failed to protect everyone."

Yanqi also flew to Shang Long's side, suppressing the bloody breath on Bao'er's body to comfort Shang Long, saying: "It's not your fault."

"Every time I was called the young master by everyone, I always felt that there was something entrusted to me by everyone. With every call, I kept accumulating. I took the wishes of these people on my body, and I couldn't take it off. , even an optimist like me would feel bored."

"Do you want a country?" Yanqi asked.

"I want..."

"Even a country that is not rich, poor and backward, barren and desolate wants it?"

"It doesn't matter." Shang Long laughed at himself: "A lord without a country can only become the laughing stock of others."

"Then give you the country and the people!"

Saying that, Yanqi stood up and walked towards Shang Long under Bao'er's surprised gaze.But unfortunately, another wave of arrow rain hit, and Bao'er swung a huge sword wind with the giant sword, blowing the flying arrows away.This created a gap for the little boy behind him who suddenly "bleached" his hair into golden yellow.

"However, if you want to, you must say goodbye to everything now."

Shang Long smiled and asked Yanqi: "Is there anything else I need to say goodbye to?"

"Even if you can no longer return to this sea, if this is okay, I will give you the country. Do you want the Jade Seat?"

Shang Long thought for a moment...

"want to."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Bao'er heard the strange words of the two, and she also lifted her mask and turned her head to ask the two of them: "I said, are you planning to hold a cult sacrificial ceremony in front of my mother? Fighting against cult organizations is everyone's responsibility, do you two understand?"

It wasn't until this moment that Shang Long finally recognized Bao'er's voice. Looking at Bao'er's beautiful face, he suddenly asked, "I haven't seen you in a few years, why..."

Shang Long didn't continue after speaking halfway through, but laughed at himself again: "It's good luck, at least I have met another friend worth saying goodbye to."

As he spoke, he waved his hand at Bao'er.

"Farewell, the number one sword master in the world."

"Hey you!"

Regardless of Bao'er yelling, Yanqi bowed down in front of Shang Long.

"Follow the destiny and welcome the Lord. From now on, you will not disobey the imperial edict, never leave the imperial court, and swear loyalty. Please say 'I forgive'. You bear expectations, and I bear the country."

"I forgive."

In an instant, the light on Yanqi's forehead was shining brightly, and after the light disappeared, it turned into a strange looking horse with a one-horned head, which looked like a synthetic alchemy beast, but it was not an ugly sacred animal.

Bao'er didn't know why, but when he looked at the young man transformed into a sacred animal, he suddenly thought of Qiao Qiao who was far away in Pengshan.So Bao'er stretched out a finger to poke the golden mane on Yanqi's neck, and asked, "You are probably a Qilin, right?"

Qiao Qi turned her head in amazement and asked Bao'er, "Do you know Qilin?"

"Yeah!" Bao'er nodded and said, "I have another friend named Qiao Qiao, who is also a unicorn. If you two can meet him when you go back to Pengshan, please help me say hello to him."

"Qiao Qiao?" Shang Long, who recovered a little, also asked, "Is that the big man in Sakai Port who holds the iron umbrella all day?"

Bao'er nodded again, but at this moment another wave of arrow rain hit, Bao'er could only deal with the arrow rain while saying to the one behind him: "You two hurry up, tell him when you see Qiao Qiao, just Said that I have brought everyone back to the capital, so that he can return to the East Factory of the capital to find me when he is free!"

After finishing speaking, Bao'er flew away to settle accounts with the pirates of Murakami's family.

Afterwards, there were rumors in the Seto Inland Sea that Sword Master Kujo slaughtered all the Murakami sailors by himself in order to avenge the Komatsu family!

"How many people are in the Murakami Navy?"

"Probably... there must be two to three thousand people!"
