Kamisato Ayato's Considerations; Kanjou Commissioner Kyohei's Fury / We Can Never Repay Lord Ansel's Kindness; Mobius's Reinforcements...
Chapter 160: Kamisato Ayato's thoughts, angry Kujou Takayuki
The huge waves destroyed the troops and camps of the Shogunate army stationed in Yaoi Island. Although the momentum was huge, Sangonomiya Kokomi limited the scope of the damage very well. Except for the hundreds of kilometers around the Shogunate military camp, it did not affect other places in Yaoi Island.
As one of the several main islands that make up Inazuma, the real Yaoi Island is undoubtedly larger than the one in the game. The real Yaoi Island is a large island covering an area of tens of thousands of kilometers, and Moreover, due to the vast territory and sparse population, Inazuma civilians on the island are mainly concentrated near the mining area where crystallized bone marrow is developed. Therefore, in addition to annihilating Shogunate's garrison in Yashiori Island, this time Watatsumi Island Resistance Army's surprise attack on Yaoi Island did not cause any other casualties.
After all, these future people are all the people of Master An Xiu, so Sangonomiya Kokomi will naturally not involve these innocent civilians in this fight.
When the wave receded, the Resistance Army vanguard force led by Gorou arrived on the battlefield, began the final finishing operations, and took over the sovereignty of the island.
All the main forces of the Shogunate army stationed at Yaoi Island were taken away by Sangonomiya Kokomi. This is all they can do now.
"I don't know if the movement here has attracted the general's attention."
Looking at Yaoi Island in front of him, Sangonomiya Kokomi spoke softly.
"It's just not to this extent. After all, you do control your power very well. Unless you release your aura unscrupulously now, there is a high probability that Raiden Shogun will not discover the situation here before getting Three Commissioners's report."
An Xiu, who appeared next to Sangonomiya Kokomi at some unknown time, replied.
In fact, not only was Xinhai well controlled, An Xiu himself had just taken action from behind to intercept some of the leaked aura. Therefore, it was not that Raiden Shogun had a high probability of not being able to detect the situation on Yaoi Island's side, but that it was 100% impossible to detect it.
Unless Three Commissioners takes the initiative to report it.
The question is, is this possible? Unless we are sure that Resistance Army really has God-level combat power, even if Three Commissioners hands over Resistance Army's information, there is a high probability that it will be described as a trivial matter.
Oh, Yashiro Commission doesn't count. If Yashiro Commission reports it, he will truthfully describe Resistance Army's combat power and the situation on Shogunate's army. The premise is that Kamisato Ayato, the head of the Kamisato Clan, can send his memorial to Raiden Shogun.
Anyway, it is impossible for the Kujou Clan and Hiiragi Clan to give Kamisato Ayato a chance. After all, they may be more afraid of Raiden Shogun walking out of Tenshukaku than Resistance Army.
In this way, the vanguard force headed by Gorou cleared the battlefield, and the main force of Watatsumi Island also arrived at Yaoi Island. This completely announced the change of ownership of Yashiori Island, and also officially represented the establishment of the Resistance Army.
One day later, Narukami Island.
Kamisato Ayato, who was dealing with government affairs at Kamisato Estate, picked up a piece of information sent by his subordinates and looked shocked.
"Watatsumi Island actually formed Resistance Army to target Shogunate? Yaoi Island actually fell..."
To be honest, although the situation in Inazuma was somewhat turbulent due to Sakoku Decree, he did not expect that Watatsumi Island would take this opportunity to openly form Resistance Army.
Shogunate, who resisted the general's rule, weren't he afraid of Wu Xiang's sword falling?
However, with the amount of troops that Watatsumi Island could form, even if Yaoi Island's defenders were unprepared, logically speaking, they should not have fallen so quickly. There might be something in this that I had not noticed.
"Forget it, let the Tenryou Commission people worry about this kind of thing. It has nothing to do with Yashiro Commission."
"But Resistance Army can pay attention first. I don't know if Lord Kujou Clan will truthfully report this rebellion to the general."
As one of the main islands of Inazuma, it is not a trivial matter for Yaoi Island to be captured by the Watatsumi Island rebels. However, based on Kamisato Ayato's understanding of the master of the Kujou Clan, there is a high probability that the other party will choose to conceal the matter first, and then mobilize Shogunate troops as quickly as possible to destroy the rebels, thus reducing the major issue to a trivial matter.
It's just that since Watatsumi Island dared to openly stand up to form Resistance Army, Kamisato Ayato felt that the strength of the rebels should not be as simple as it seemed on the surface. Thinking of Yaoi Island, which almost fell at the speed of light without any news coming back, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Brother, are you worried about something?"
At this moment, a gentle voice came from behind the screen, and Kamisato Ayaka walked to Kamisato Ayato's case at some point and asked with concern.
In response, Kamisato Ayato, who didn't want his sister to worry, shook his head decisively.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about some issues about the Watatsumi Island rebels. Yaoi Island fell too fast, which is inconsistent with the strength Watatsumi Island has shown before. I'm worried that there might be something fishy in it."
After listening to his brother's words, Kamisato Ayaka closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
"Is there someone secretly supporting Watatsumi Island?"
"Maybe, I can't rule out the possibility."
Kamisato Ayato nodded and said, this is indeed the most reasonable guess.
After all, it's impossible for Watatsumi Island to suddenly appear and Demon God to wipe out Yaoi Island's garrison in just two moments, right?
Then you might as well guess that the Watatsumi Island's Demon God Orobashi left some backing for Watatsumi Island, allowing the contemporary Watatsumi Island Divine Priestess to inherit the other powers of the magic God-tier. At least it sounds more reasonable.
On the other side, even the shrines in charge of sacrifices, which in theory have nothing to do with the military, have received the news. Kujo Takayuki, the head of the Kujo family in charge of the heavenly realm, will only get the news earlier.
At this moment, he was furious in the Kujou Clan's main room, with an expression on his face as uncomfortable as eating a dead fly.
"Reverse! Reverse! I have guessed that Watatsumi Island's group of dangerous elements who disobey the king's behavior have long been plotting against the General's Inazuma and are ready to make a move!"
"Master, what should we do now?"
Below, several members of the Kujou Clan asked.
"What else can we do? Let the generals of the Kujou Clan take action and mobilize troops as quickly as possible to Yaoi Island to destroy the rebels. I will report this to the general!"
It is somewhat different from Kamisato Ayato's speculation. Kujou Takayuki is going to report the rebellion to Raiden Shogun. Of course, it is not a complete report, but Yaoi Island has fallen and was changed to Yaoi Island. A small group of Watatsumi Island rebels have appeared, and they are preparing to dispatch troops to Yaoi Island to assist the local garrison in defeating the rebels.
In this way, no matter how the follow-up develops, they Kujou Clan will have a way out. If the war goes well, there will be nothing to say, and they can just ask for credit. If the Resistance Army formed by Watatsumi Island resists unexpectedly tenaciously, causing the war to become anxious, Kujou Takayuki can also use several small mistakes to cover up one big mistake, thus brushing off the fall of Yaoi Island.
Anyway, as long as he didn't say anything, how could the General know that Yaoi Island had actually fallen from the beginning?
There's no way their Shogunate main force can't break into the Yaoi Island occupied by a group of rebels, right?
Chapter 161: Master An Xiu's kindness is not over yet, Mobius's foreign aid
Naturally, the mobilization of a large number of Shogunate troops could not be hidden from the detection of interested people. In order to completely wipe out the rebels, Kujou Clan came out in full force this time.
Different from the attitude of deliberately delaying the fight in the original plot, the strength shown by Watatsumi Island in conquering Yaoi Island overnight is much stronger than that of the Resistance Army in the original plot. Therefore, Kujou Clan's attitude is naturally no longer as casual as in the original plot, but can be said to be quite serious.
And this information was naturally sent to Sangonomiya Kokomi by Watatsumi Island's spies.
"Shogunate's attitude towards us is really serious. Most of Tenryou Commission's senior generals have participated in this operation to exterminate the rebels. Nearly half of the troops dispatched are Shogunate's elite."
"If we were to confront such an army head-on, with the Resistance Army's current strength, we would probably suffer heavy casualties in one encounter."
I just heard Sangonomiya Kokomi say with some emotion.
Don't look at the combat effectiveness of the Shogunate army under the corrupt systems of Tenryou Commission and Kanjou Commission. Compared with the armies of other countries, it can be said that it is quite unbearable, but no matter how unbearable it is, the Shogunate army is also a regular army, and its combat effectiveness is far beyond that of stragglers.
What's more, most of the Shogunate troops dispatched by Tenryou Commission this time are elite. Under the command of those Shogunate generals, the strength of these troops can completely crush Resistance Army.
After all, although the Shogunate army is corrupt, is Watatsumi Island any better? Don't forget that before An Xiu asked Makima to mobilize a large amount of supplies from the Jujutsu world to assist Watatsumi Island, most of the people in Watatsumi Island were in a state of long-term hunger and had basically no military training.
It is simply too much to expect Resistance Army composed of these people to compete head-on with the regular army. Unless they can be crushed in terms of numbers, the combat effectiveness of both sides will not be at the same level at all.
However, Watatsumi Island's Resistance Army is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers compared to Shogunate's army. It's no wonder that Shogunate in the original plot didn't take Resistance Army seriously at all, and directly started to raise the bandits to respect themselves and use Resistance Army to gain military merit for his family.
Sangonomiya Kokomi can naturally see this. It can be said that the battle strength of her own army is all supported by her. Of course, with her here, unless the general personally goes into battle with a sword, with the power given by Lord An Xiu, even if the entire Shogunate army is bundled together, it will not be her opponent.
But if the two armies are fighting, even if she can rush in front and kill the enemy fiercely, defeating the Shogunate soldiers, it would be too embarrassing to look back and find that her own army suffered heavy casualties against a group of remnants and defeated generals.
Yes, he can take over the entire battle by himself and not let Resistance Army participate. In this way, Resistance Army will not suffer any casualties. But if this is the case, what is the meaning of Watatsumi Island's existence in front of Lord An Xiu?
Do you want to accept Grace from Mr. An Xiu with peace of mind without giving? Unfortunately, even Divine Priestess and Sangonomiya Kokomi who are Watatsumi Island will not allow such a thing to happen.
Therefore, even if going into battle has no use other than increasing casualties, Sangonomiya Kokomi cannot leave Resistance Army alone. Since he does not have enough ability, he should sacrifice his life to repay Lord An Xiu's kindness.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so extreme."
An Xiu is very satisfied with Sangonomiya Kokomi's idea. After all, this shows that the little miko and ornamental fish in front of her really thinks from the perspective of her own interests and puts herself, God, before Watatsumi Island.
But An Xiu doesn't think he's a tyrant. It's better that such a meaningless suicide attempt doesn't happen if possible.
It doesn't matter that Resistance Army's combat power is too high. He can bring in some foreign aid from other worlds and mix it with the army. Thinking about it, it will definitely bring endless surprises to Shogunate's army.
So, An Xiu opened the system's portal and took Sangonomiya Kokomi back to the world of One-Punch Man.
"Hey, I went out for a trip and the master kidnapped a little girl and came back?"
In the research base, seeing the arrival of An Xiu and Sangonomiya Kokomi, Mobius said jokingly.
"I thought Master, you would pack up Raiden Ei and Raiden Shogun and bring them back. If not, it should be Funina or Kalos, the Grass God Vulcan, or something like that. I didn't expect it to be a little witch. Could it be that Master likes this style more recently?"
"I just happened to meet him when he came to the world of Genshin Impact."
Just listen to An Xiu shake his head and reply.
There are many people in the Genshin Impact world who can make him a soft meal, but it's just Sangonomiya Kokomi's good luck that as soon as he traveled to the Genshin Impact world, he landed directly in front of this five-star ornamental fish. In front of me, and the little miko's attitude is good, and the white silk miko uniform is quite good for her XP, I simply choose the other party to be an agent on the bright side like Talulah and Lapland.
"Let's not talk about it for now. I have something to do here and I need your help Mobius."
Without continuing to talk about XP topics, An Xiu briefly described the situation in Genshin Impact's world to Mobius.
"So you need me to provide some grassroots combat power to ensure that Resistance Army will not suffer too many casualties when facing Shogunate's army?"
After listening to An Xiu's words, Mobius nodded indifferently.
"It's not too troublesome. I directly transferred a mass-produced version of Ouroboros Potion from the warehouse. Ms. Sangonomiya Kokomi distributed it to the Resistance Army elite, which can smooth the gap in combat power between the two sides."
"By the way, we can also dispatch a few Giant Wendigo that were researched last time. We originally planned to send them to Arknights World for actual combat, but it would be good to send them to other worlds first to see the effect."
"I just want to see how Giant Wendigo, which is comparable to the low-ranking monster Dragon-level, performs compared to Demon God."
In this way, An Xiu and Sangonomiya Kokomi returned to the Genshin Impact world with about a hundred mass-produced Ouroboros Potions, plus three majestic Giant Wendigos that were more than 150 meters tall.
"Thank you Miss Mobius for your help."
Before leaving, Sangonomiya Kokomi expressed his sincere thanks to Mobius.
"There is no need to thank you. Everything you and I do is for the benefit of the master. It is enough to think more about the master. Miss Xinhai has done a good job in this regard. I hope she can continue to do so."
"I will."
After listening to Mobius's words, Sangonomiya Kokomi nodded.
It was obviously the first time to go to a world other than Teyvat, but Sangonomiya Kokomi, who was following An Xiu, was unexpectedly very calm throughout the whole process. As long as An Xiu didn't speak, Xinhai didn't even say a word that shouldn't have been said.
Although Sangonomiya Kokomi doesn't know it, there is no need to be so cautious when facing Mobius, who is the clone of An Xiu.
Chapter 162: Ouroboros Potion's strengthening, Kujou Sara's defeat
Just An Xiu and Xinhai returned with hundreds of mass-produced versions of Ouroboros Potion and three-head Giant Wendigo, which were sponsored by Mobius. While returning to Yaoi Island, the regular army of Shogunate is gathering on top of Kannazuka to the east of Yaoi Island.
"Set up camp where you are and distribute these ordnance according to the pre-planned proportions. Move quickly!"
Kujou Sara, who was in charge of the frontline command, ordered a group of Shogunate soldiers to start setting up camp in an orderly manner, laying the foundation for the Shogunate army's attack on Yaoi Island. Soon a temporary camp was stationed on the front line.
This is the closest position between Kannazuka and Yaoi Island that is suitable for garrisoning. Whether the Shogunate army takes the initiative to attack or prevents the rebels on Yaoi Island from continuing Clash, Kannazuka can provide excellent terrain advantages, which can be said to be offensive, retreatable and defensive.
Using this place as the front line to fight the rebels can ensure that the Shogunate army can advance and retreat freely under any circumstances. From this point, it can be seen that although the upper levels of the Shogunate army are relatively corrupt, generals like Kujou Sara still have some real abilities.
While the Shogunate troops on the front line were stationed in the camp, the remaining Kujou Clan senior generals in the rear who were responsible for commanding the entire battle were also discussing the overall direction of the battle.
In fact, there is nothing to discuss. After all, Kujou Takayuki has already decided on the direction of the Shogunate army's operation this time, which is to wipe out Resistance Army as quickly as possible and fight the rebels on Yashiori Island quickly.
Then there is nothing to say. Just let Kujou Sara on the front line lead part of the main force of the Shogunate army to attack head-on. The rest of their generals will lead the remaining main force to attack from the flanks, hoping to completely defeat Yaoi Island's Resistance Army in one battle.
From the beginning to the end, these Kujou Clan generals never thought about the possibility of failure. Although it is not clear how the previous Yaoi Island garrison failed, but when a group of rebels composed of unscrupulous people who had not even had enough to eat encountered their Shogunate regular army, what other possibility would the outcome be besides being beaten to the side of the road?
In this way, this military order was passed to Kujou Sara on the front line.
Although he felt that it was inappropriate to launch a strong attack without knowing the details of the rebels, Kujou Sara could only choose to implement the combat plan jointly decided by other generals.
Moreover, subconsciously, Kujou Sara also did not think that Watatsumi Island's rebels would be able to resist in a general attack with the strength and lineup of Shogunate's dispatched this time. It was just that the final battle loss ratio would be greater.
If Kujou Sara is allowed to take command, then she will lead the Shogunate army on the front line to fight steadily and gradually find out the details of the rebels before launching a general attack. However, if the rush attack can end the rebellion as quickly as possible and share the worries of the general, then greater losses are not unacceptable.
Therefore, the next day, the Shogunate army located on the front line of Kannazuka began to actively launch an attack along the shoal area bordering Yaoi Island and Kannazuka.
"Sir Sangonomiya Shrine's guess is indeed correct. With the character of those Shogunate army generals eager for quick success, they will definitely launch an attack as soon as possible after arriving at the front line."
Gorou, who had already built some simple defenses in the nearby area and led a large number of the Resistance Army to ambush along the way, said after seeing the Shogunate army attacking from the front.
Seeing that the Shogunate army led by Kujou Sara was about to enter the encirclement, Gorou immediately began to give orders.
"Brothers, it's time to repay Lord Supreme Traveler God Lord Grand Shrine's kindness! Everyone, follow me and defeat these Shogunate lackeys!"
"Kill!!!"
In an instant, a large number of the Resistance Army soldiers poured out from all directions and surrounded the Shogunate Army. Realizing that they had been ambushed, the Shogunate Army suddenly panicked, but fortunately with Kujou Sara's timely command, the Shogunate Army quickly formed a formation to resist the rebel attack.
After all, it is still an army that has received regular training all year round. Although it lost some men unexpectedly in the early stage, the battle loss ratio between Shogunate Army and Resistance Army Army was reversed very quickly.
Under normal circumstances, Resistance Army, who was originally an ambush party, would probably be defeated by Shogunate's army. But unfortunately, Resistance Army is no longer what it used to be.
"Strengthened brothers, charge me!"
I saw nearly twenty Watatsumi Island elites headed by Gorou suddenly charging into the Shogunate army's formation at extremely fast speeds, aiming straight at the center of the enemy's army with a clear target.
Obviously, they plan to capture the enemy general first. Without the general's command, these Shogunate armies will have no choice but to fight independently, and will naturally fall into chaos and be defeated by the Resistance Army.
"Stop them!"
The Shogunate army along the way was naturally unable to let the rebels rushing into the military formation succeed, and they all raised their weapons to try to stop them.
