Shockwaves Through the Shinobi World
Mura here!
She and the other high-ranking officials of Rōran quickly came up with a battle plan.
Despite its small size, small population, and limited resources, Rōran was a prosperous trading center and economically developed due to its location at the crossroads of various countries, and it was never short of money.
Under the onslaught of money, they quickly assembled a force of a thousand men, which, together with their existing five hundred guards, made a total of fifteen hundred men. They then headed west toward the Land of the Moon.
Logistics were also rapidly established with a massive amount of money, leading Ye Liangnai to wonder if Mura had already had this idea.
Otherwise, how could he have handled all of this so skillfully!
Do you think your chances of winning are high?
In the Queen of Roran's palace, Ye Liangnai sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the seated Mura and asking a question.
Mura raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course! The Land of the Moon originally only had 3,500 regular troops, but 2,000 of them have already been wiped out by you. How could those 1,500 regular troops possibly be a match for my Rōran army? We caught them off guard, and the odds of victory are on our side! Even if there are 5,000 troops in the four border regions, they are still too far away to reach them!"
"Once we capture Crescent Lake City, the gateway to the Land of the Moon, we can advance or retreat as we please. With Crescent Lake's complex terrain and unpredictable swamps, give me a hundred men and I can fight against an army of a thousand!"
"Without Crescent Lake City as a shield, the Daimyo City of the Land of the Moon is practically under the wrath of my Rōran Iron Cavalry. Once we capture the daimyo of the Land of the Moon alive, everything will be settled!"
Listening to Mura's story, Ye Liangnai couldn't help but clap her hands and sigh, praising, "If Lady Mura weren't Queen, she would probably be an excellent general. I admire her greatly!"
Hearing Ye Liangnai's praise, Mura proudly raised her head and said, "After I conquer the Land of the Moon, I will immediately propose an alliance to the Land of Wind. In this way, the surrounding countries will not dare to act rashly!"
"Now, I have sent envoys to the surrounding small countries to forge friendly alliances and try to win over more allies. In that case, the backlash will be much less!"
After listening, Ye Liangnai exclaimed in praise, "A strategy of befriending distant states while attacking nearby ones, brilliant! Then we await the good news your army will bring you!"
Ye Liangnai did some calculations and came to a conclusion: The Land of the Moon is doomed!
Then he took his leave!
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye!
For two months, the area surrounding Rōran was in turmoil, shrouded in the fear of war!
No one could have imagined that the weakest of the three kingdoms, Rōran, would suddenly launch a surprise attack on the powerful neighboring kingdom, the Land of the Moon.
Most importantly, Rōran won.
When the Rōran army set out, it numbered only 1,500, but by the time they breached the Daimyo City in the Land of the Moon and captured its Land of the Moon, the force had snowballed to 5,000.
Faced with this iron-blooded army, the Land of the Moon's armed forces were no match and were defeated after a short period of fighting.
The main reason was that they were caught off guard by the attack, and the most important supply line— Crescent Lake City— was captured by Rōran.
Most of the Land of the Moon's armed forces were defeated due to starvation.
Only the guards of Daimyo City have become neglected due to the long period of peace.
Therefore, their resistance was minimal, which meant that the daimyo of the Land of the Moon had no time to escape and was surrounded by the army.
Subsequently, the Rōran army formally took over the government of the Land of the Moon. Half a month later, all border armies announced their submission to Rōran.
Thus, the Land of the Moon was destroyed, after two months!
This result shocked many surrounding countries. No one expected that the Land of the Moon would lose and be destroyed. Rōran was truly astonishing.
Immediately, many countries that had previously looked down on Rōran became extremely respectful to Rōran's envoys.
Because they didn't know if Rōran's next target would be them.
With Rōran's current army of 10,000, apart from two or three countries like the Land of Ghosts and the Land of Shadows, the other small countries around it are not confident that they can fight against Rōran.
Especially when they learned that there was a ruthless person in Rōran who could wipe out an army of two thousand in one move.
Not to mention that Rōran actually managed to establish diplomatic relations with the Land of Wind.
Thus, with its thunderous offensive and strategic mind, Mura enabled Rōran to successfully establish itself among the smaller kingdoms and gain a respectable position.
Rōran began to grow stronger!
The area has increased to 853,200 square kilometers!
"Then, as agreed, Your Excellency Mura, please open the Dragon Vein!"
He also said that he would not appear in Mura's palace again.
He did not pursue the matter of her using his name to intimidate the surrounding enemies.
In his view, this was a very reasonable and clever move.
"If you agree to one more condition, I'll agree to yours, okay?" Mura said, looking at Ye Liangnai.
"What are the conditions?" Upon hearing this, Ye Liangnai frowned, somewhat displeased.
Mura's sudden addition of conditions made him very uncomfortable.
"See you here tonight, and I'll tell you then. I'm sure you won't refuse!"
But Mura kept it a secret, refusing to reveal it now.
Upon hearing his words, Ye Liangnai's brows furrowed even more!
What is this guy keeping secret? He's so mysterious!
"I hope Your Queen will keep your promise. Ye Liangnai dislikes people who break their word! I can revive Rōran for you, and I can also destroy you in an instant!"
After leaving behind this cold, threatening statement, Ye Liangnai left with a frown.
But he didn't see the struggle and determination that flashed across Mura's face.
"If a man like you could marry you and have a child, Rōran would surely be able to be revived in the future!"
Mura knew that Rōran's revival was largely due to Ye Liangnai.
Even though he spends all his time eating and sleeping, he also practices swordsmanship.
But it was precisely because he was stationed in Rōran that no one dared to invade Rōran, even when it had only a dozen guards and its military strength was extremely weak!
This is deterrence!
Therefore, she couldn't help but set her sights on Ye Liangnai.
Who could Ye Liangnai was so young yet so accomplished, radiating the charm of a powerful figure that made it impossible not to fall for her.
Ye Liangnai himself probably doesn't even know how charming he is! But it really is true.
"Why are you asking me to come over so late at night? Why in such a remote place at night? Is it to retaliate for my sudden intrusion the other day?"
Ye Liangnai, a lone man and a lone woman, were simply not on his radar.
He only had one thing on his mind: to leave this time and space as soon as possible and return to his original time and space.
Ringo Ameyuri's illness can't be delayed. Who knows how long he's been here, or how much time has passed in his original timeline?
