Something Wasn't Quite Right
When she saw Ye Liangnai saying those words, her eyes didn't waver at all, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary, which made her feel a chill.
You know, he just said he wanted to annex a country!
A country can be annexed so easily. Doesn't the person involved feel any difficulty at all? Why is there no emotional reaction whatsoever?
It was as if the Land of the Moon was completely disregarded by him.
"Rest assured, it will not have any adverse effects on Rōran. On the contrary, Queen Majesty will benefit greatly!"
"With the territory of the Land of the Moon, I think with Queen Majesty's abilities, establishing a first-class small country shouldn't be a problem! Perhaps one day, it might even replace the Five Great Nations as the new world order setter!"
Hearing Ye Liangnai's words, Mura couldn't help but swallow hard.
She really wanted to say, "Is this even possible?"
But for some reason, although she kept telling herself that with her abilities, it was impossible to develop Rōran into a great power.
However, after hearing what Ye Liangnai had just said, she still couldn't help but fantasize.
He fantasized about one day becoming the Daimyo of Five Great Nations and dominating the Shinobi World!
That feeling of being above all others and being the only one who matters is so intoxicating.
"We'll see. First, I need to see your strength! Let's see what happens in two days! I hope you're not just all talk! If you can't even handle the soldiers of the Land of the Moon by then, don't blame me for ordering my guards to surround and annihilate you!"
Mura looked at Ye Liangnai and tried her best to keep a calm demeanor.
"Of course, Your Excellency Mura, just wait for the good news!"
Hearing Mura's words, Ye Liangnai smiled and said.
The deal was done, and his return was settled. Now, all that was left was to wait for the day the Dragon Vein would be activated.
On this side of the Land of the Moon!
Upon learning that his subordinates had been taught a lesson, the Crown Prince was furious.
When the daimyo learned that someone had dared to provoke them so arrogantly, he was equally enraged.
Their Land of the Moon may not be considered a major power, but it's not a place where just anyone can bully them.
Therefore, under the orders of the daimyo of the Land of the Moon, two thousand soldiers rushed towards Rōran at breakneck speed.
Moreover, His Highness felt that this was not enough. Since Ye Liangnai dared to challenge the Land of the Moon, she must have some strength.
So he issued a bounty on the black market, hiring wandering ninjas to snipe Ye Liangnai.
Since Ye Liangnai is so reckless as to provoke them, then he'll make Ye Liangnai understand just how serious the consequences of provoking them are.
Time flies by.
An atmosphere of fear and unease had begun to rise in Rōran, and the residents dared not venture out unnecessarily.
Upon hearing that unrest was about to break out in Rōran, the surrounding merchants and travelers quickly left.
At this moment, the only people left in Rōran were Ye Liangnai, a large group of Rōran soldiers, the favored middle-aged man under the prince, and a group of fierce-looking burly men.
"Boy, you're dead! The Daimyo has already dispatched troops; prepare to meet your demise!"
The middle-aged transvestite is extremely smug now, and he comes to shout at people more than a dozen times a day. In his eyes, Ye Liangnai is already a dead man!
He sensed that Ye Liangnai was starting to panic.
Otherwise, why would he keep swinging his sword? It's clearly a sign of his lack of self-confidence.
No matter how much he shouted, Ye Liangnai ignored him and just kept waving the long sword in her hand.
Beside Ye Liangnai was the little girl, who had somehow found a long sword and was practicing like Ye Liangnai.
To be honest, this little girl has quite the talent to become a strong person. After learning from Ye Liangnai for a day, Ye Liangnai saw the shadow of a sword master in her.
Because her sword is fraught with killing intent and extremely cunning, she is very suitable to be an assassin.
He could be described as a born assassin!
This piqued Ye Liangnai's interest, so he taught her some swordsmanship skills.
Such a promising talent should not be overlooked. If nurtured, he may well become an important fighting force for Kirigakure in the future.
And so, two days later!
"Is this all you've got? You've hired so few people to deal with me? Who do you think you are!"
Ye Liangnai pointed her sword at the middle-aged transvestite man not far away and said contemptuously.
On the ground beside him lay the corpses of ninjas.
They were all fatal blows!
"Gurgle!"
But faced with this scene, the middle-aged man couldn't help but swallow hard, his expression uneasy.
"How can this guy be so strong? There are even A-rank missing-nin in there, how come he can defeat them with just one strike!"
He started to panic, and even felt a little regretful.
Because A-rank missing-nin are already capable of invading the Land of the Moon and causing considerable damage to Land of the Moon.
A-rank missing-nin could easily handle a force of 500 men on his own.
Among the corpses on the ground were three A-rank missing-nin.
He knew that even the Land of the Moon would have to be wary of such a force, and might need to gather four or five thousand troops and use the most advanced equipment to deal with it.
But even someone this strong couldn't last two moves against Ye Liangnai!
Just how strong is Ye Liangnai?
He thought to himself uneasily.
"Rumble!"
A series of orderly footsteps approached; the army of the Land of the Moon had arrived.
"That's enough. Any further reaction would be futile. We can only focus on fighting the enemy!"
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man immediately looked at the approaching army commander and shouted, "Surround him and kill him without mercy!!"
"Yes!"
The commander of the Land of the Moon's army responded, and a group of heavily armored soldiers surrounded Ye Liangnai in layers upon layers, with soldiers of varying heights and positions on all sides.
Armed with powerful bows, crossbows, and throwing spears, as well as various samurai who looked like ninjas, the entire army stood ready for battle.
The five hundred soldiers from Rōran quickly withdrew, stating, "We will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Land of the Moon!"
The middle-aged man didn't see anything wrong with it, so he agreed.
However, they would never have imagined that the retreat of the Rōran army was merely a sign that a conspiracy was about to begin.
"Kid, are you scared? I'll give you a chance to surrender and admit your mistakes, and I might spare your life!"
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Liangnai, who was trapped in the middle, and said arrogantly.
"Surrender? Admit your mistake?"
After hearing this, Ye Liangnai couldn't help but laugh. "I've never done anything wrong, why should I admit it?"
"Besides, you think you can get me to surrender with this little force? Aren't you looking down on me?"
Upon hearing his words, the surrounding soldiers and samurai were immediately enraged.
What an arrogant brat! He actually looks down on them. Where does he get his confidence from?
