[War Engraved Night Blood] Himiko's War

Chapter 85

The fragile balance did not last long, and within half a month, the flames of war reignited again.This time, even Oda collar was involved.

"Really! Harassing at the border again, run away when you see us! Can't you fight upright!" Sheng Jia and Kaoru Ishida finished their swordsmanship practice, and sat with the girl in the rest area, complaining to her.

"There's no other way. Only some scouts and a small group of troops sneaked in, not even a general." Kaoru Ishida said while wiping his sweat.

"If caught by me, I'll cut all those bastards in half!" Sheng Jiayou said angrily.

"Okay, you can cut it into four as you like." Kaoru Ishida grabbed another towel hanging next to him and threw it on Singer's head, "Wipe your sweat first, don't catch a cold."

A voice suddenly came from behind Kaoru Ishida. "Idiots don't catch colds."

Sheng Jia jumped up and rushed in front of the visitor, "Hey! Do you want to fight!"

Kaoru Ishida turned his head sideways, and it really was... "Master Changxiu, what's the matter?"

"Don't get in the way." Changxiu pushed Singer aside and handed the girl a handwritten letter, "Master Nobunaga gave you an order to join the border patrol team. If the soldiers assigned to you don't obey your orders, they will You have full control."

"So, I know."

When the five armies guarded the only remaining Ji Shenzi in their respective cities, Ishida Kaoru was also left in the city, interrupted the elimination of evil spirits, and never went out of the city.She knows in her heart that Oda Nobunaga has always been good at knowing people, and the way he protects her is definitely not the kind of protection that he treats the weak.Therefore, she has been waiting for her next arrangement.Unexpectedly, it was actually a chance for her to act alone.

After putting away the handwriting, Kaoru Ishida said goodbye to Changxiu and Singe, and returned to Oda Nobunaga's room.

"Master Nobunaga," Kaoru Ishida knelt in front of the table, and asked Oda Nobunaga very seriously, "Aren't you worried that I will take the opportunity to escape? These soldiers cannot stop me."

"Since you have said that you will not leave until you have achieved your goal for me." Oda Nobunaga chuckled, "Then I trust my retainers, so why not?"

"...!" This was the first time I heard the lord say clearly that she was not a retainer who was reluctantly recognized as an important prop, but was treated as a retainer in a true sense.The so-called scholar died for his confidant, Kaoru Ishida fell down/body and touched the ground with his head. "I will never let you down."

Going to the barracks, ordering the soldiers together, Ishida Kaoru's original idea of ​​raising power was useless, and the soldiers all expressed their obedience to her.

"It's strange, why there are no thorns..." On the way leading the soldiers to the border, Kaoru Ishida was riding on the horse, muttering to himself.

March until nightfall, and set up camp.Where Kaoru Ishida didn't know, the soldiers whispered.

"I heard from the patrol team before that this lord is as fierce as a beast..."

"Forget it! She looks like a delicate little girl."

"No matter what she is, can we leave Master Nobunaga's beloved concubine alone?"

After a while of silence, one of the soldiers said bitterly, "I hope this lord will not cause us any trouble. I don't want to end up on the battlefield alive and die meaninglessly because of a woman."

After dawn, Kaoru Ishida continued to lead the soldiers on their way.This time, the location that needs to be inspected borders on Toyotomi Territory, and the general on the other side is as flexible and cunning as an ape, Kaoru Ishida dare not take it lightly.

Arriving at the border, Ishida Kaoru saw the smoke from the cooking stove far away.Calling a soldier at random, she asked, "Is there our garrison at that position?"

After observing, the soldier shook his head, "Not really, Mrs. Naiji."

Kaoru Ishida squinted his eyes and counted the columns of smoke. Judging by the number, distance and thickness of the smoke, there were about 20 to [-] people cooking. "Let's go and have a look."

"This..." The soldier seemed to want to dissuade him, but before he could say anything, the rumored very capricious beloved concubine had already galloped away.

Those who cook there are not the Toyotomi Army that Ishida Kaoru expected, but the soldiers of the Date Army.Hearing the sound of horseshoes, the soldiers of the Date army got up one after another, spread soil and covered the bonfire, and except for a few who packed up supplies, the rest of them took up their weapons and entered a state of alert.

Seeing the figure approaching on horseback, the nervous Date Army soldiers relaxed and laughed.

"This is an ignorant young lady who came here."

"How could the young ladies come here, hahaha..."

"Hey, don't you think she looks familiar?" one of the Yida soldiers suddenly said.

"So, I've seen the portrait before, it seems to be that demon king's..."

Kaoru Ishida reined in his horse and stopped, waiting for the soldiers who were running to catch up to regroup.

"Hey! That woman!" A soldier of the Date Army came out and shouted, "The battlefield is not a place for you to play games! Women should stay where women are!" As he said, he straightened his back a few times .

Kaoru Ishida didn't react for a moment, "?????"

The soldiers on both sides understood the obscene meaning, the soldiers of the Date Army burst into laughter, while the soldiers of the Oda Army blushed and held their weapons tightly.

No matter what it means, it's not a good word anyway, just knowing it is enough.Kaoru Ishida knocked on the horse's belly, drew out his sword and rushed over.

"Protect Nagi-sama!" The soldiers of the Oda Army shouted and followed the girl.

Kaoru Ishida wiped out a large number of evil spirits during this period. In terms of strength alone, she was already on par with Singer. Coupled with the inertia of horses sprinting, she hacked and killed three people and wounded two in a row, and went straight through the small group of Date's army. temporary camp.As soon as the rein was pulled, the war horse that had been well-fitting with her stopped abruptly and turned around. It stood up, and its two front hooves directly stepped on the chest of a Yida soldier at the left rear, smashing the rattan armor and breastbone together. .

Kaoru Ishida shook off the blood on the sword casually, and showed a terrifying smile to the soldiers of the two armies who were already stunned, "Welcome to the long-sleeping leader Oda."

The end of this encounter was a crushing victory without any suspense.Soldiers of the Oda Army cleaned the battlefield and cleared up the captured supplies.I don't know if the soldiers of the Date Army were marching lightly or as scouts. They didn't bring much supplies, but they seemed to have more cooking utensils.Kaoru Ishida looked at the pitiful loot in disgust, and after confirming that there was nothing missing in the camp, he packed it up and prepared to take it back to Ranmaru for inspection to see if he could find any clues.

In the following inspections, no enemy troops were encountered.After completing the task, Ishida Kaoru returned to the city to report to Oda Nobunaga.

After hearing the girl's report, Oda Nobunaga unfolded the map, "Date Army..."

Kaoru Ishida has also seen that map. The Date Army and the Oda Army are far apart, and there are other armies in between. It is very abnormal to appear at the junction of Toyotomi and Oda.

"Is there any conspiracy?" Kaoru Ishida asked nervously.

"It's hard to be sure." Oda Nobunaga frowned and replied, "A general who is driven by Hime Miko cannot use common sense to deduce the purpose."

"Nobunaga-sama." Ranmaru's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." Waiting for Ranmaru to sit on his knees, Oda Nobunaga asked him, "What's the result?"

Ranmaru shook his head, "No abnormality, although the number is a bit larger, but no matter how you check, they are just ordinary cooking utensils."

"..." Oda Nobunaga was silent at the map, lost in thought.

Ranmaru winked at the girl next to her, she understood, and the two of them quietly exited the room together to avoid disturbing the adult.

Regarding the troop suspected of being a Date Army scout, the Date Army suddenly launched a strong attack on the Toyotomi Army before finding any clues.At the same time, wars are raging in the Shenya world, and there are more and more troops attacking each other across borders.The Date Army, which attacked the Toyotomi Army, became less conspicuous.Perhaps because the Oda army no longer exists on the surface, Ji Shenzi, other armies mainly harass the Oda leader, and there has been no official attack.

About a month and a half later, without warning, Toyotomi's army handed over a formal letter of challenge to the Oda army.

For this gauntlet, there is no doubt that the Oda Army chose to fight.Considering that the castle might be attacked by surprise, leaving enough soldiers to guard the castle, Oda Nobunaga led his retainers and some soldiers to the battlefield to fight.

"Yo~ Long time no see, Nobunaga~" On the battlefield where the two armies faced each other, Toyotomi Hideyoshi greeted Oda Nobunaga with a smile.

"You!" Ranmaru held the knife angrily, "How dare you call Mr. Nobunaga like that!"

"Well, what does it matter?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi smiled unchanged, "I'm not Nobunaga's retainer anyway, right?"

Oda Nobunaga drew his sword and pointed it at Toyotomi Hideyoshi. "No need to say much."

"Ha, Nobunaga, you are still the same as before." Toyotomi Hideyoshi also drew out his sword, "Then, as you wish!"

Soldiers from both sides collided like torrents, and the battlefield became a non-stop meat grinder.

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi! I will never forgive you for offending Lord Nobunaga!"

Before Mori Ranmaru finished speaking, his way forward was blocked by Hanbei Takenaka.

Hanbei Takenaka put away his umbrella and drew out his sword, "Sorry, your opponent is me~"

Shibata Katsuie, who rushed into the soldiers, was unstoppable, sweeping through a large number of soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables.

"Drink! You bastards!" Shibata Katsuie, who was hacking at the soldiers, suddenly put his knife behind his back. "It's the Li family."

"Yeah, I haven't fought with you for a long time!" Maeda Toshiie took back the halberd that was chopped on Shibata Katsuie's sword, and swung it again, "Let's fight to the death, Katsuie!"

"Looks like you're going to cooperate with me, Nagahide." Seeing Kuroda Kanbei and Ishida Mitsunari encircle him, Akechi Mitsuhide drew his sword out of its sheath.

Niwa Chohide was ready to fight, "Tch, you don't need to tell me."

Kaoru Ishida stayed alone on the horse, no opponent beat her, and no one beat her.She was very wronged by being ignored, this sexism is a bit too much, isn't it?Looking at the four adults, and at Oda Nobunaga who was gradually leaving the battlefield, Kaoru Ishida rode his horse and followed in the direction of Oda Nobunaga.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. ?”

Oda Nobunaga was unmoved by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's words.

"What an exaggerated man, 'No matter how strategically you work or how you gather the army, your hands will not be able to touch my head.', I have never forgotten this sentence." Toyotomi Hideyoshi suddenly released a signal firework, "So how about this?"

Near the woods, large swaths of branches fell down.That's not really a low tree, but a trap that hides a large number of soldiers.

Kaoru Ishida stepped into the encirclement, "Huh?"

The armed forces worn by these soldiers are not limited to the Toyotomi Army.Or it should be said that the ambushes here are soldiers from the five armies.

Calling the panicked little girl to his side, Oda Nobunaga said slowly, "There is no real war between you."

"That's right~"

The battlefields among the various armies were cleaned up too cleanly, and Oda Nobunaga had long been suspicious of the inside story.What he didn't expect was that there were so many troops hidden in this trap.In the blink of an eye, Oda Nobunaga recalled the Date Army soldiers carrying excess cooking utensils.It wasn't the scouts that the little girl accidentally wiped out, but the hasty march that transported the cooking utensils. "...Using the deceit of the pot?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes flashed a trace of surprise, "Amazing, as expected of Mr. Nobunaga, he saw through it so quickly."

Oda Nobunaga said coldly, "The real alliance is because of those useless deceivers from other worlds."

"..." Ishida, one of the deceivers from another world, Xun felt an arrow in his knee.

"That's right, it's really because you have such a bad attitude towards the eldest ladies, which makes them uneasy." Toyotomi Hideyoshi applauded, "And, after all, Nobunaga, you are a great threat on the way to unify the world."

"Heh...so it hit it off."

"It's too late to know now." Toyotomi Hideyoshi slowly retreated between the soldiers, "By the way, I don't know about Nobunaga Daren~ Have you heard of it—Nobunaga surrounded the net. I can't get you with my own hands It’s not bad to cut off the head of your corpse with your own hands.”

Ishida Kaoru couldn't stand it anymore, and the master humiliated the minister to death. She drew her bow and set up an arrow, and shot at Toyotomi Hideyoshi with one arrow.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi tilted his head to avoid the arrow, but did not escape the sharp wind brought by the arrow feathers.Toyotomi Hideyoshi touched the slight wound on his face, "It's not good to be so irritable." His figure gradually disappeared among the soldiers, "I wish you all a good time~"

The encirclement formed purely by crowd tactics slowly closed, which was enough to kill an ant like an elephant.

Kaoru Ishida's sword was originally chosen for both foot and horse combat. Before the encirclement was completely closed, she tried to kill the soldiers with the acceleration brought by the horses.Not far from her, Oda Nobunaga, holding a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, harvested the lives of soldiers piece by piece.

I don't know how many soldiers' heads were cut off, and Kaoru Ishida screamed in his heart that something was wrong.The knife gradually became blunt, but the soldiers were still like an endless tide.Suddenly, a soldier rushed under her horse's belly. Before the exhausted horse could raise its hooves, it was disemboweled and its intestines were all over the ground.

Seeing that the little girl was in a critical situation, Oda Nobunaga put away his gun, drove his horse to respond, and blew a sharp whistle at the same time.

Ishida Xun's horse under his seat exhausted his last strength to lift her into the air, and then fell to the ground without a sound.

Oda Nobunaga stretched out his hand to pull the little girl who was thrown into his arms, but he didn't want her to turn around in the air and land directly behind him.He could only pull the rein, turn around, and said to her, "...do you want to be my shield?"

"Of course I know that your back is the most dangerous place," Kaoru Ishida adjusted his sitting posture, and at the same time waved his sword to push away the arrows flying behind him, "But as a retainer, you have to die for the master! Let me be your shield!"

("What do you think a retainer should be like."

"Be your weapon, be your shield, everything is your first, your will, my direction.")

"..." The memories that suddenly came up made Oda Nobunaga's hand tightly holding the rein, "It's up to you, sit tight."

"Don't worry!"

With the cooperation of Ishida Kaoru and Oda Nobunaga, these soldiers can no longer pose a threat to them, but they are still very troublesome and unable to escape.Originally, this slow passing away, sooner or later there will be a moment of separation.But in the distance, shouts of killing suddenly sounded from the direction of the isolated retainers.

"Nobunaga-sama," Kaoru Ishida said, "I have a suggestion, do you want to think about it?"

"..."

"Looks like you've guessed it."

That's right, when Oda Nobunaga heard the shouts of killing, he had already considered this choice.Indeed, even though tens of thousands of years have passed, the bad memory of being bewitched by power and driven by instinct has not been wiped out in his heart.However, in the overall situation, personal likes and dislikes are not important.The reason why he felt apprehensive and didn't take immediate action was whether this little girl who resisted becoming Ji Shenzi was willing to be used as Ji Shenzi.

Oda Nobunaga's silence was regarded as rejection by Ishida Kaoru, and she said anxiously, "I know you don't like awakening, but I hope that there will be adults in Oda's future!"

"...You really have confidence in yourself."

"If you don't have self-confidence, how can you be qualified to be your retainer! So!" Ishida Kaoru cut his left wrist directly in the gap between blocking arrows, and handed it to Oda Nobunaga, "Please wake up!"

This little girl who would make such a choice is her... Nobunaga Oda didn't hesitate, and directly pressed his lips to her wound, gulping down blood that was far sweeter than he had imagined.The little girl behind him suddenly groaned.Did it hurt her?Oda Nobunaga only slowed down, but did not stop drawing her blood.Only with enough divine power can he overwhelm his own power and maintain his "awakening" for a long enough time.All untimely pity is nothing but self-defeating stupidity.

After awakening, Oda Nobunaga tore through the encirclement net with ease.Those retainers were also led away from their positions, and they needed to cross the vast battlefield to rescue them.

On the way, Oda Nobunaga faintly felt that something was wrong.The sweet and seductive breath lingered, but the little girl was hanging on the left wrist, and the blood in the wound had already dried up.When she was sucked blood by him, she kept maintaining a slightly stiff posture. Could it be that that cry of pain was actually...?

"Nagi."

"Ok?"

"If you run away, I will kill you."

Oda Nobunaga heard the little girl behind him laugh lowly, no longer concealing the weakness in his voice, and responded to him.

"Ah."

Crossing the battlefield and fighting a way through the densely packed soldiers, Oda Nobunaga saw the vassals in the center of the encirclement circle on this side who were all hung up.

"Nobunaga... Your Excellency...?" Ranmaru pushed himself up, "Your posture...!"

Oda Nobunaga raised his hand to stop Ranmaru's next words, "Prepare to break through."

"Please... don't care about... us," Guangxiu said with difficulty, panting, "We have already..."

At this time, the surrounding soldiers became agitated and began to retreat in disorder.

"Evil demons! Many evil demons!"

The ground of the battlefield cracked, and waves of evil spirits gushed out, quickly covering the entire battlefield.

"How could it be..." Ran Wan looked at the direction of the battlefield in a daze, "So many demons..."

When choosing to wake up, Oda Nobunaga had anticipated the consequences.Just like God Child Ji devouring the power of Evil Demon, Evil Demon also has a very high desire for God Son Ji's divine power.Just the killing of Toyotomi Jun Ji Shenzi at the beginning has almost doubled the evil spirits around him. The little girl he has carefully cultivated, the power emanating from the wound will only attract more and more powerful evil spirits.not to mention……

Turning sideways, Oda Nobunaga supported the girl and moved her into his arms.Sure enough, there was an arrow stuck in her back.He tentatively pulled it out, and the resistance he heard showed that it was a very insidious arrow, with not only a blood groove, but also a barb.He directly used the knife to gouge out the arrowhead, and the expression of the little girl in his arms did not change at all.That's bad, proving she's completely unconscious.

The awakened power gradually disappeared at the estimated time, and Oda Nobunaga's power belonging to this world regained the upper hand.After exiting the awakening state, he closed his eyes and opened them again. After changing his vision, the situation in front of Oda Nobunaga was even worse.The light of divine power not only dissipated from this little girl's wound, but also leaked from her whole body.Probably before she lost consciousness, she thought she was about to die.

If this little girl wanted to survive, she had to wake up, even if it was only for a moment, and let her realize that she was still alive.In addition, the existence of Ji Shenzi cannot be separated from the divine power, and it is necessary to supplement her with divine power.There is only one method that can be implemented, even if it will have some impact after success, Oda Nobunaga can't care about it.

"I allow you to use her blood." Oda Nobunaga ordered calmly.

Hearing Oda Nobunaga's words, Katsuya was astonished, "Is it really okay for her to look like this?"

The other vampires also had unbearable expressions on their faces, but they did not speak.Guangxiu walked over first, took the pale girl, and stabbed her fangs into her neck.

After the four retainers had all sucked the girl's blood, Oda Nobunaga took off the gauntlet behind him, and wrapped the girl who was returned to him tightly in his arms.After all the retainers got on their horses, Oda Nobunaga pointed to the evil demon on the battlefield. "Now, fight back from among them."

The evil spirits on the battlefield are really strong, but they are vulnerable to the awakened generals of the Oda Army.

When Emo died, there really was no magic crystal left behind... I don't know what this little girl will look like when she wakes up... Oda Nobunaga gently stroked the top of the girl's hair in his arms, no, more importantly, she To be able to wake up.

As he got closer to the edge of the other side of the battlefield, Oda Nobunaga gradually felt a little anxious.The little girl's current state can no longer withstand blood sucking, and the awakening time of the retainers is about to end.If she hadn't been able to...

Once a worse scenario is envisioned, it is bound to materialize.The battlefield has been completely penetrated, and a wide passageway between the evil and demons has been cleared that cannot be closed for a short time, but the little girl in Oda Nobunaga's arms still has not regained consciousness.The awakening of the vassals has ended, and they cannot continue to easily walk through the demons to kill.Although Oda Nobunaga himself has stronger power, the evil power he kills will be sacrificed to [the world].If you can't fill this little girl with enough divine power to break through the limit, you can't stimulate her to wake up through the pain in her soul.

"ku..." has only two simple syllables. Nobunaga Oda was unable to pronounce the second syllable no matter how hard he tried under the restrictions of the world rules formulated by Ji Miko. "Heh..." Oda Nobunaga smiled wryly, and stopped trying to call her name. "Just give up trying and escape? I won't admit to using death to escape...and..."

Losing her at this time, as long as [World] cannot escape the control of "God Son Ji", he and her will never see each other again.When this little girl is separated from the general Hime Miko in the eyes of Oda Nobunaga, she is destined to no longer be just his most suitable prop so far.Originally, it was only the relationship between the head of the family and his retainers, but due to the identity given to her by chance, he and her deviated from the path of getting along with each other.During the time of living together, this little girl invaded his life silently and unknowingly.

Facing the moment of losing her, he finally realized his feelings for her.Oda Nobunaga tightly hugged the little girl who was gradually dying in his arms, he loved her.

The author has something to say:

The relationship line is officially opened, and the two-way secret love progress: (1/2).

"If you run away, I will kill you." Translation: "Dying at this time is no different from running away, so, try to survive." [Although Mr. Nobunaga said this last time (Chapter 28), he really felt that The hostess will run away, and if you warn her to run away, she will be killed. 】

The rules of the world formulated by Ji Shenzi: the crescent moon tribe cannot call out the name of Ji Shenzi who came to this world.

Setting source: Regardless of the card plot or the main plot, the generals will not call "you" by name. 【Smiling and inserting a knife】

There are two reasons for the birth of this article, and this is the first one.When I saw the line "Do you want to be my shield?" in the main line, I wanted to write such a heroine.To this question, she will answer Oda Nobunaga, "Then let me be your shield!".

Tactical explanation: Adapted from the classic tactics, increasing troops and reducing stoves (from the biography of Sun Tzu Wuqi in Shiji).

The five armies attacked each other. When they pretended to attack, some soldiers stayed in Toyotomi. When retreating, a small number of soldiers carried a lot of cooking utensils.Harassing the Oda leader is to distract the Oda army to a certain extent and weaken the investigation.Within a month and a half, the Tibetan soldiers Toyotomi led the army to prepare for the siege and killing of the Oda army.

Due to the limitations of the times, there is basically no solution in this era when there is no telescope, and it is impossible to sneak into the enemy's barracks, and the number of people can only be judged by the smoke and the number of pots and stoves used.
