The War Bullet Wanted!

"Damn it, what on Genro thinking?"

Ten minutes ago, on the plains below Iwato Station, Torao Superintendent stood beside his own Kai Castle, Wrath gazing at the castle walls and gates that were being relentlessly bombarded by his own artillery.

"When are they finally going to get here?!"

"Indeed, this is too much. The entire Hayajiro, which set off with Narukami Castle, has been here for so long, yet they still haven't arrived?"

"I think he did it on purpose!"

The other stewards gathered around Torao Superintendent also began to complain loudly in dissatisfaction.

Despite the fierce artillery barrage from their side, which rendered the defenders unable to raise their heads and even brought the city gates to the brink of collapse, the city was still under heavy fire.

But only family members know what's going on in their own lives.

With over three hundred mortars, plus more than one hundred garrison guns brought over for defense, and the Defense Cannon on 'Hayajiro', how many shells would all that require?

We do have enough ammunition now, but the problem is we're not attacking Kongokaku, we're Iwato Station. We've used up more than half our shells here, so what do we do next?

They were also puzzled. They had heard that the walls of Iwato Station had been damaged by "Black Mist," so how come they found them completely intact when they arrived?

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be enough time to repair the city wall.

But now that the facts are clear, there's no point in dwelling on them. What other option is to grit our teeth and fight a direct assault?

Have.

Let Genro Army's "Narukami" fire a damn shot. Even if it can't achieve the legendary feat of piercing the city gate with a single shot, firing two or three shots should be enough.

But that son of a bitch Genro actually chose to hide in the rear and not come over. Isn't that obviously trying to ambush their ammunition reserves?

This practice is disgusting!

This directly led to the former stewards, who had previously followed the lead of Genro, gathering around Torao Superintendent and cursing him.

"We can't let the Genro Army get away with this!"

Torao Superintendent, stepped forward, scanned the surrounding stewards, and shouted loudly.

"Gentlemen, let's cease bombardment for now. Once they arrive, we'll seize 'Narukami Castle' and then use 'Narukami' to take Iwato Station and subsequently Kongokaku!"

"This"

Some of the stewards present hesitated at his suggestion, still wary of the Genro Army's strength.

"Hmph, they only have five thousand men. What about us?"

Seeing the expressions on these people's faces, Torao Superintendent felt great contempt and thought to himself, "Do you cowardly rats even deserve to be the generals of the Hinomoto?"

Despite his seemingly rough appearance, he remained composed and showed no sign of his inner turmoil, continuing his speech.

"Furthermore, that bastard Genro definitely won't let us directly attack. With our intentions focused on the enemy's unpreparedness, we can definitely take down the entire Genro Army quickly!"

Then, Torao Superintendent made another decision in a rather forceful manner.

"After we take over the Genro Army, apart from 'Narukami' which will belong to our Torao Army, all their soldiers, weapons, cannons, and food will be yours to take. Even 'Shinano Station' will be yours!"

Really.

Upon hearing this, all eleven stewards revealed greedy eyes.

Everyone knows that the Genro Army is equipped with the finest equipment, all of which are Western goods purchased from overseas. Furthermore, the 'Shinano Station' is said to be as developed as Kongokaku, making it an absolute goldmine.

"Good!"

"Then it's settled!"

"Since Chief Genro acted unjustly first, then let's disregard our injustice!"

Just as the officials finished issuing the ceasefire order, they were surprised to find that with the last shell fired, the gate of Iwato Station was about to collapse.

"It seems one of the chains was blown off. If this continues, the other one will break soon too," said Kosho, the head steward of Wakamatsu Station, with a troubled expression.

Now a new choice lay before them: continue firing to breach the city gates and storm in, or wait for the Genro Army's 'Narukami Castle' to arrive?

"I think we should keep firing and take Iwato Station first."

"No, no, what if the Genro Army gets here during this process? What if someone tips them off and makes them wary?"

"What do you mean? Do you suspect we'll break our promise?"

"Hehe, you can't see into someone's heart, who knows?"

"You"

Suddenly, the twelve commanders of the Alliance Expeditionary Force, including Torao Superintendent, started arguing amongst themselves, creating a very chaotic scene.

They were originally competitors. Before, everyone had the same goal, so it was easy to talk and discuss anything. But now, almost opposite disagreements have arisen, and the group has suddenly split into two opposing factions.

Although the Torao Army was the strongest, it only had 5,000 troops, which was not a large number in the allied army of more than 40,000.

Moreover, nominally he didn't have much to say; Genro Steward was at least an initiator and could be considered the 'leader' whom everyone had previously tacitly agreed upon.

Now that no one even recognizes this 'leader,' and they still want to work together to destroy the other side, they've naturally become a leaderless bunch.

[Call out------]

Fortunately, it seemed someone didn't want them to continue arguing, as it would hurt feelings and create disharmony, so they used a sharp, piercing sound to attract everyone's attention.

The moment Torao Superintendent and the others instinctively looked toward the source of the sound, less than a second later, they were blinded by an extremely dazzling white light, followed by a wave of heat that plunged them into complete darkness.

[Boom!!!]

The deafening explosion was too loud for the stewards to hear.

They originally thought that the location of the twelve 'Hayajiro' was safe because it was beyond the range of the city's cannons. In addition, they wanted to talk to Torao Superintendent, so they naturally gathered next to 'Kai Castle'.

But who could have imagined that a righteous cannonball would be fired from behind, and of all things, it just happened to hit them!

"Ha ha!"

A kilometer away on the railway tracks, a white Armored Train, its surface riddled with bullet holes, bloodstains, and black grime, lay motionless.

Inside the front of the car, Bullet was alone in the cramped space, laughing heartily, with the 'Narukami' control panel above his head in front of him.

He just used his Observation Haki to fire a shot at the Alliance Expeditionary Force's "Hayajiro" position from the captured "Narukami Castle".

Moreover, he specifically targeted Torao Superintendent and his men when he fired their shots!

Their aura was simply too conspicuous. Twelve people were surrounded by hundreds of people with the strongest auras, all standing at the rear. Where else could they attack but there?

At the same time.

The 7,000 Army soldiers that Bullet brought with him had already established a defensive position centered on the 'Narukami Castle', with heavy machine guns, mortars, and rocket launchers ready for action.

Their mission was to stop the Alliance Expeditionary Force's counterattack, buy more time for 'Narukami' to fire more shots, and take down the remaining 'Hayajiro' one by one!

Soon.

Although the simultaneous deaths of the twelve commanders caused some chaos in the Alliance Expeditionary Force, the high-ranking Samurai, considering the need to save their own lives on the battlefield, quickly established a new command structure.

They detached 20,000 troops to continue bombarding the walls of Iwato Station, attempting to capture it as soon as possible. They then detached another 10,000 troops as reserves, while the remaining 20,000 soldiers, led by individual Samurai, spread out and pressed towards Bullet in a mighty advance.

But since it's a kilometer away, it would take a considerable amount of time to walk there.

[Call out----]

Really.

Bullet fired its second 'Narukami' cannon, accurately destroying the 'Hayajiro', a ship that was slowly starting up and preparing to move.

This brought him a great deal of joy, and he had been fully enjoying the fun of the Otherworld war these past few days, muttering to himself.

"The problem is that the opponent is too weak, and the scale of the war is too small. It would be great if we could encounter a worthy adversary someday, with a war involving at least 100,000 people."
