Cover hero picture

The sky was getting dark. Hotaru, the shrine maiden of the Coral Palace Shrine, finished sorting out the books in her hands. She raised her head, raised her hands and stretched her muscles. She stood up holding the hem of the shrine maiden's uniform and walked to the carved window made of Suihua wood. Open a corner lightly.

Looking up, the pale white halo still illuminates the sea water in the distance from time to time, followed by a distant rumble like a war drum.

Fortunately, the ancient rock walls surrounding it firmly protected the Coral Palace, which gave Yingcao a strong sense of security.

Just like the majestic torso of the Great God, even though he has passed away, he still protects his people.

This war will also stop soon.

Pulling herself together again, Hotaru picked up the book, walked out of the workshop, and walked towards the room directly behind the center of the Coral Palace Shrine.

"Please come in."

After the knock on the door, a pleasant voice came from the room.

Yingcao walked in with her head lowered. Even though she had been working for this adult for a long time, she was still a little cautious.

"Lord Coral Palace, this is the current food stock and the consumption of the rebels in the next few months."

Coral Gong Xinhai, who was sitting behind the desk, smiled kindly at Yingcao in front of him, reached out to take the report, and started to read it carefully.

"There is also military pay. If it is paid according to the system, how long can Haiji Island's finances last?"

Yingcao quickly stepped forward and handed out another booklet, but her little face couldn't help but become frustrated.

"In terms of finance and food...if the distribution continues as usual, it may only last until the end of this month."

Although I have full confidence in Mr. Coral Palace, these data are really hard to cheer up.

Even the Coral Palace Miko, who is so determined, is like this. If the rebels know that Kaiji Island's financial situation has fallen into such a difficult situation, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny in the army within a day.

Everyone is fighting for Kaiji Island and their own future, but a war that will obviously lead to failure and death is probably not a wise choice for most people.

Yingcao watched anxiously as Coral Palace Xinhai slowly flipped through the books. The latter's expression remained the same, his white hands were very steady, and the corners of his mouth were even slightly raised - it didn't look like a smile, but a strong sense of self-confidence. and sufficient odds of winning. ,

This certainty of victory that was not expressed in words subtly infected Yingcao.

why is that? The young miko girl was a little confused. Maybe this was the so-called leadership temperament.

Just when Yingcao's mood gradually calmed down, Coral Palace Xinhai suddenly said: "Yingcao, are you interested in going to Narukami Island in four days?"

"what?"

Yingcao suddenly raised her head and looked into those pair of water-cut eyes. In those gentle pink-blue pupils, there seemed to be wisdom beyond her reach.

……

"Master Takeda, I really said that yesterday!"

In a military camp of the resistance army, the people around him had been driven far away, and ordinary soldiers could not enter Centurion Takeda's territory.

Even among the military, it feels like a private property.

Harada is here crying loudly in relief.

"That bastard put his sword directly on my neck. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I might not have seen you!"

Harada described yesterday's experience vividly, while quietly observing the big man sitting at the top with the corner of his eyes.

"From what I heard about their conversation, it seems that they are trying to find Master Kitagawa Nagamitsu through an envoy to the shogunate to deal with you. You must stop them from such a despicable act!"

Takeda remained expressionless in his seat, and the invisible pressure made Harada sweat a little on his vest.

He couldn't grasp what the other person was thinking.

After a while, Takedagu waved his hand, "Okay, you can go out."

"grown ups……"

"I know it all."

At this time, the middle-aged man sitting in the second seat stood up and walked to Harada. He was smiling and gentle.

"Master Takeda has understood that he will be interested in this matter. Mr. Harada must have suffered a lot for this matter. Please let me make up for it."

The middle-aged man behaves very well, and his overwhelming respect for Harada is exactly what Harada dreams of.

So he was almost moved to tears, feeling excited that he would die for Takeda Ruins, and followed the middle-aged man out in a daze.

After a long time, the middle-aged man walked back to the camp.

"Such an opportunistic villain shouldn't be allowed into my camp." When the middle-aged man nodded to indicate that the matter had been dealt with, Takedagu immediately spoke.

"Master Takeda's words are wrong. Everyone has his value. Besides, Mr. Harada is only working hard for his goal." The middle-aged man served warm tea to Takeda Market and behaved appropriately, "Here At this point, your brother Hongguang-sama is more insightful, which is why there are so many people following him even on Narukami Island where there are so many powerful sects."

Takedagu waved his hand impatiently, "The weak should have the consciousness of the weak. If Harada helps me stop those celebrity samurai on the battlefield and dies under their swords, I will still respect him."

Harada thought that the conflict between Takeda Rui and He Chuan would make his harassment of He Chuan more favorable to Takeda Rui. Unfortunately, he was wrong.

But fortunately Takedagu didn't even bother to pay him a glance.

Right now, there are more important things waiting for him.

"The selection of attendants for the mission will begin tomorrow. I would like to arrange for three people to go in with me." Takedagu drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp.

The middle-aged man thought for a while, "Are you talking about Shinnosuke, Musashi and Ye You? It's a bit difficult. Although you are sure to enter the mission, it is probably difficult for Musashi and Shinnosuke to pass the selection. Maybe Ye You has a certain chance. "

"It's not that the selection range for this operation won't be very large. Could it be that there are still many people who threaten us?" Takeda Rui thought about it in his mind. There were not many masters in the resistance army idle at this time.

"You also heard what Harada said just now. The Carp Team will also participate in the selection of the mission. If He Chuan and Mitsumura Changu participate, I'm afraid you won't be easily selected. You and Ye You are fine, but Musashi and Shinnosuke are Not necessarily.”

"Those damn bastards!" Takedagu's big hands clenched into fists, "Then what do you want to do, Mr. Yizhen?"

Chunyuan Kazuma smiled calmly and took a sip of tea, "Don't worry, Master Xu, Master Hongguang sent me to assist you to solve your problems."

He smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves and said methodically: "Since we are destined to never be on good terms with He Chuan and others, then we just need to be one step ahead of them and kick them out of the selection."

After that, he slowly took out a jade scroll from his sleeve...
