"Worthy of a shrine maiden personally invited by the Shogun. She's incredibly powerful! She's practically a god!"
From a high point near the battlefield, the Shogunate Army under Xia Ji watched the earth-shaking battle below and could not help marveling at the power of the gun-wielding shrine maiden.
She was practically a god descended upon the world!
Forget a thousand men—even ten or a hundred times that number would be nothing before that shrine maiden!
"Yeah! We even thought that shrine maiden was too arrogant before, that she could never possibly defeat those demon soldiers."
The Shogunate Army's deputy commander beside him could not help sighing as well.
When the shrine maiden had said that the presence of the Shogunate soldiers would hinder her performance, and that she alone was enough to deal with that daimyo's demon soldiers, they had even laughed at her.
Now, it seemed that they were the ridiculous ones!
If they had joined the battle, they might really have been accidentally killed by that gun priestess's overwhelming firepower.
The Shogun's friend truly was no ordinary person.
The deputy commander felt even greater awe toward the Shogunate general, who had lived for who knew how many years yet remained young and beautiful.
On the battlefield, Shrine Maiden Kaede was truly holding the pass alone against ten thousand foes!
These demon soldiers and the daimyo simply did not know that the times had long since changed. It was no longer an era where whoever had more soldiers was stronger.
These days, what mattered was firepower.
Given sufficient firepower, she alone was an invincible army.
When Sister Xia Ji had asked her to deal with these demon soldiers not long ago, Kaede had not brought the Shogunate soldiers along. Instead, she had chosen to face the entire opposing force
