Original God, but the real world

Chapter 131: Opportunity for a decisive battle

This time the rebels did not have Ying's help.

Considering Ying's strength, she was able to defeat Rosaline head-on, which basically meant that she was fully capable of defeating an enemy army alone.

But in the plot, her performance was very mediocre.

To be precise, this was definitely not the only time she performed mediocrely.

According to any logic, as Ying's fame gradually rises, everyone should have a higher respect for this great adventurer.

However not.

She rarely gained respect from others, as they seemed to have no fear of Ying's strength that could kill them at any time.

Ying often gains respect after solving problems for others.

But that's not right.

When you are faced with someone who has the power to kill you at any time, your only way to restrain him is to beg him to have a high level of morality.

This ridiculous situation makes it difficult for Jiang Qing to understand why most people still try to take something away from Ying.

The Fatui are like this, even the Gilded Brigade dares to do so.

Rosaline was defeated even after trying her best, but the ordinary Fatui and Abyss Mages still dared to provoke Ying one after another.

This is hard to understand.

Of course, going back to this battle, the mediocrity of Ying is that she is actually fully capable of directly beheading people, and she just competed with a few samurai from the shogunate.

Three consecutive [battles before the battle] allowed her to win all the battles.

In the era of cold weapons, such a Ying who fought and won continuously actually boosted the morale of the rebels.

Unfortunately, the reality is that even if morale is boosted, the rebels are still at a disadvantage.

Coral Palace Xinhai showed his plan of luring the enemy into a trap.

She gathered some of her elite troops and, when the rebels were about to fail, she launched a surprise attack on the shogunate army and thus seized victory.

But objectively speaking, this victory didn't have much impact.

The shogunate was a powerful family and they could always afford to lose. Moreover, this time they did not suffer a rout or lose any generals, but only lost some low-level soldiers.

It is not fatal.

Apart from briefly repelling Kujo Sara and extending the lives of the rebels, it has no practical value.

In order to succeed, she used some strategies and also brought in crew members from the Big Dipper and Southern Cross fleets.

Judging from the effort alone, the harvest is not satisfactory.

At least, I should get back my investment only after I capture the nine Saras.

In fact, Ying's own ability should be enough to capture the Nine Sara.

And she didn't do that.

Kujo Sara was of noble status, and when the situation went wrong, she would run away surrounded by a group of guards.

The failure of the shogunate was a minor matter. At most, everyone would die in the defeat.

But if Kujo Sara was caught here, no guard would think that Tenryo Bugyo would let their relatives and friends go.

No matter how Kujo Takayuki was wary of Kujo Sara, at least on the surface, Kujo Sara was the pride of the Kujo family.

She can't go wrong.

This is the minimum requirement for being a personal guard.

The personal guards enjoyed the best treatment, but if the lord they were protecting died, none of them could escape.

Treatment and responsibility are equal. No one can enjoy generous treatment without shouldering heavy responsibilities.

But these guards could not stop Ying.

And Ying did almost nothing.

In other words, the role of the rebels in the structure is just to lure out the evil eye and let Ying die.

Then there was the deal with Yae Shinto, who forced Ying to join the chariot against the general in exchange for a favor.

Jiang Qing shook his head and suppressed his wandering thoughts.

This is a battlefield.

However, Jiang Qing still had time to think about the plot line.

Because the intensity of this war was not high for Jiang Qing.

It was impossible for him to break through the army formation head-on and kill Kujo Sara, but if he wanted to maintain his physical strength under the banner of the resistance against the shogunate, it would be a job he could do with ease.

Jiang Qing's eyes scanned the battlefield.

In the entire plan, Coral Palace Xinhai did not give him the power to command troops.

After examining Jiang Qing's abilities briefly, Coral Palace Xinhai decided to save these people's lives.

Jiang Qing's only role on the battlefield is to wait for the appearance of Kujo Sara and then inflict heavy damage on Kujo Sara at the critical moment.

This is exactly what Jiang Qing expected.

The rebels' initial goal was to kill Kujo Sara.

Because if they could replace a high-ranking official in the shogunate, it would be a profit for them.

But after discussing with Jiang Qing, Coral Palace Xinhai decided to put this idea aside for the time being and set the goal of capturing Kujo Sara.

I have to say, this choice gave Wulang a headache.

The difficulty of capturing and assassinating is completely different.

There are people who have defected to the resistance army during this period of time, but frankly speaking, if they had the strength of Jiang Qing, Kujo Sara or Goro, they would definitely not have been driven into the resistance army.

The strength of Lv5 is already enough to reach the upper level.

If he had another opportunity, such as Kujo Sara being adopted by the Kujo family and taking the Kujo surname, then they would definitely stand at a high position in the shogunate.

Therefore, Goro was very sure that even if Kujo Sara was prepared, she would not have guessed that the resistance army had sent an assassin with equal strength to her.

Jiang Qing really has no reputation.

Unlike Ying or Fengyuan Manye, this was the first time that Jiang Qing showed his strength.

Therefore, the Nine-Stranded Sara is very difficult to guard against.

Whether it was intentional or not, or two against one, the chance of assassinating Kujo Sara was not small.

But to capture him alive...that's very difficult.

However, the degree of difficulty is often related to the value it brings.

If it were just killing Kujo Sara, the pleasure of revenge that could be gained from doing so would be negligible.

Everyone knows that Kujo Takayuki is the one who needs to be targeted for revenge, and Kujo Sara is just a weapon driven by him.

At the same time, killing Kujo Sara would mean a complete war with the shogunate and even the castle tower.

Killing someone who is not the ultimate enemy will immediately cost everyone's life...it's actually worth it.

The rebels have no choice anyway.

They could only do their best to be able to take away that enemy.

In this situation, killing Kujo Sara was already a profit. Who could cross the long distance and kill Kujo Takayuki who was resting next to the castle tower?

However, if the goal is to simply increase the strength and then surrender with Kaijima, then Kujo Sara cannot be killed.

The value is proportional to the difficulty.

Although Wu Lang found the situation difficult, he was not willing to give up.

If he had a choice, he would definitely kill Kujo Sara immediately.

On the battlefield alone, the two of them killed many enemy soldiers.

The national hatred and the hatred for his comrades left Wu Lang with no choice.

It is impossible for him to understand the Nine-fold Sarasa, and there is no need for him to understand the Nine-fold Sarasa.

But Goro knew the cost of killing Kujo Sara.

Kujo Takayuki might have considered suppressing Kujo Sara, but he definitely didn't intend to let Kujo Sara die just like that.

If the rebels did so, they would be going against the will of the Lord of Heaven and causing the death of a person who should not have died.

The natural consequence was that the shogunate, with thundering rage, pacified Kaijima in one battle.

With no other choice, Kujo Sara's death is naturally good news.

Anyway, the result is like this, so you must kill them as soon as possible. The more you kill, the more money you will make.

But if it is for the sake of Haizhi Island's future survival, he is willing to endure this hatred and take the initiative to choose to give up.

And beg for mercy afterwards.

Jiang Qing shook his head.

The reason why he was able to achieve this level was certainly not because of Wu Lang’s mean temper, but because of General Lei Dian.

It was clear to everyone that standing against the general would inevitably lead to death.

The only question is when it will arrive.

The general is the biggest determining factor in the scales.

He cannot even be considered an influencing factor, because once He appears, the outcome of the battle is naturally decided.

If there had been no General Raiden, the rebels on Kaijima might have had a chance to capture Inazuma Castle and change Inazuma's world.

However, the shogunate is a tool for the shogun's rule, and he will not allow his tool to be destroyed by others.

An arrow with dark purple lightning flashed towards Jiang Qing.

This was an extremely fast attack, but Jiang Qing seemed to be completely unaware of it.

At this critical moment, a soldier beside him who didn't even have armor stood beside Jiang Qing.

And he was still fighting with a shogunate samurai and had no time to observe his surroundings.

When the dust settled, he realized that someone had helped him block the fatal blow.

"Illusion?"

Kujo Sara did not put down his bow and arrow.

Similar to daily battles, after arriving at the battlefield, she first glanced at the battlefield, and after roughly determining the advantage of the situation, she began to kill the outstanding rebel soldiers one by one.

Jiang Qing's performance was only average.

In order to deceive people, he pretended to be an ordinary soldier.

Wu Lang even took him aside and taught Jiang Qing how to disguise himself.

Goro rose from an ordinary soldier to the position of general step by step, and he is very good at such disguise.

Even so, Kujo Sara still noticed something unusual.

Although this man looked similar to the other rebel soldiers around him, with blood and dirt all over his armor, and there was nothing special about him, Kujo Sara still sensed some threat.

She immediately tried to attack, but found that the other party seemed to be completely unaware.

If it weren't for the comrade he had just rescued who blocked his way, he would have been dead by now.

The soldier who blocked the arrow for him didn't even have complete armor, which was indeed a characteristic of the lower-level resistance army.

The armor-wearing rate of the rebels was not high. It could be said that every samurai of the shogunate was wearing armor, but the rebels were much worse.

However, Jiang Qing had just defeated a shogunate warrior head-on, so he was indeed qualified to wear armor.

So far, nothing has been found to be wrong.

However, Kujo Sara did not stop.

She immediately drew her bow and continued to kill Jiang Qing.

If you feel that someone is in danger, you should ask them to die first.

A dead enemy is a good enemy.

Wu Lang responded with arrows.

He had no intention of attacking Kujo Sara, but instead targeted the guards surrounding her.

Given the difference in strength between his personal guards and himself, this arrow could not have directly killed the rebel soldiers like Kujo Sara did.

Because Goro's strength is slightly weaker, and the armor and equipment of the Royal Guards are more precious.

But Kujo Sara still reversed the target.

The sharp arrows collided, and Kujo Sara looked at Goro.

This is a daily routine on the battlefield.

Goro and Kujo Sara faced off against each other.

Because they were surrounded by shields, there were almost no life-and-death crises between the two archers.

The difference in strength was not enough to crush him originally, and with the protection of the personal guards, there was indeed no danger of life or death.

But the victory or defeat on the battlefield does not depend entirely on the commander. In order to deal with Kujo Sara, Goro had no extra energy to command the soldiers, and could only barely cope with Kujo Sara's attacks.

The shogunate's soldiers were better trained than the rebels, so they naturally won.

But they can threaten each other to prevent the other side from wantonly killing their elite troops.

Jiang Qing has nothing like that.

Even though a soldier arranged by Goro had just died beside him, he acted as if he didn't notice it and devoted himself to the fight with another shogunate samurai.

Until the opponent's blade left a scar on Jiang Qing's armor and he cut off the opponent's head, Jiang Qing turned around and saw the soldier dead beside him.

There was obvious resentment on his face, but the anger did not extend to the next warrior who had already slashed at him with his sword.

no problem.

Kujo Sara, whose peripheral vision did not miss it, frowned slightly.

This is indeed the norm on the battlefield.

After a comrade who blocked a knife for you dies, you don't even have time to grieve because the next enemy is about to hack you to death.

While you were grieving, five or six people had already rushed up to you and wanted to chop you into pieces.

In this place, ordinary low-level soldiers are not worthy of having emotions.

Born and died at the same time is the norm.

This is already the most normal situation on the battlefield. At best, he may have a more loyal subordinate - after all, the other party saved his life for him.

But this is not a special case at all.

She, Wulang, and even Coral Palace Xinhai always have such people ready at all times.

I mean, is it really okay?
Kujo Sara had no intention of testing, she just wanted to eliminate the possible threat in the simplest and most brutal way.

However, Wu Lang just stared at her guards and shot them, while Coral Palace Xinhai, who was standing behind him, waved water elements and pulled many dying soldiers back from the brink of death.

The shogunate also has such holders of the Divine Eye who have healing abilities, but compared to Coral Palace Xinhai, they are still too weak.

In this situation, it is not worth it to follow an unknown soldier.

She weighed the pros and cons quickly, restraining her expression and confronting Goro head-on.

Unlike Goro who was giving it his all, she still had enough energy to observe the battle situation and make commands.

"It doesn't have to be so difficult." Kujo Sara's expression remained unchanged.

"What a pity... Because of the Liyue Immortal who is an old friend of the Palace Master, the Shogunate needs to prepare some elite troops to deal with any possible outbreaks."

Kujo Takayuki used a very simple reason to stop Kujo Sara from taking the throne in one battle.

The General assigns Yae Kamiko and Ying to deal with a major disaster, but there's no guarantee they won't need help.

The shogunate's elite troops need to be on standby at all times to fill in gaps in their work, or to buy time with their lives when necessary.

Kujo Sara agreed with this statement.

Since the order was issued by the general himself, and it was a problem that Yae Shinto had to deal with personally, it was obvious that this problem was not simple.

These elite warriors may not necessarily come in handy, but if they are needed, you can't do without them.

At that time, Kujo Takayuki also persuaded Kujo Sara with the intention of delaying time. You can try to end the frontal battlefield, but you must be careful.

Because there are also big troubles within Inazuma. If you fail and we may have problems as a result, we will have to ask the general to step in.

That would be embarrassing.

The general assigned two tasks, but neither was completed, so the general had to be asked to clean up the mess.

This is so embarrassing.

For someone like him, it was too easy to give Kujo Sara a reason not to use his full strength without being noticed.

He only had to worry about Kujo Sara discovering the truth himself.

Kujo Sara was not willing to let things come to this point, so in the early stages of the war, she focused on trying things out rather than trying to sweep everything away in one go.

The strategic goals a person intends to achieve determine her choices most of the time.

Just like at this moment, Goro is determined to fight against Kujo Sara. Kujo Sara does not intend to win, so he naturally has to focus on controlling the overall situation.

Once the decisive battle really comes, she will not have time to do anything.

At that time, all she needed to do was to kill the general who was fighting against her.

It was for this reason that Wu Lang created enough space for Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing, who was forced to take a knife, looked calm.

The armor blocked the blade and he was not seriously injured.

Rather, this war was originally intended to confuse Kujo Sara.

It would be the best case scenario if she didn't notice Jiang Qing.

But among so many people, she still accurately detected the problem with Jiang Qing.

Wu Lang could only create space to give Jiang Qing the opportunity to gradually disappear from the battlefield.

This is not the best opportunity.

The side effects of the evil eye will soon erupt, and these soldiers will lose their vitality due to the evil eye and eventually be forced to die.

Their death is the beginning of the decisive battle.

Now these soldiers fought bravely and defeated the shogunate's army.

It was impossible for Kujo Sara not to be curious about how these people's strength was improved.

You have to know that before her, Haizhi Island had always been a strategic counterattack.

But when she appeared, she found that the strength of the Kaijima soldiers was superior to that of the shogunate army.

Kujo Sara will suppress the war, so go investigate these first.

The soldiers' strength suddenly increased as if at a certain point in time, so it was worth her spending some time to investigate.

But as for the matter of the evil eye, the Fainthearts didn't care about the people of Kaijima using it, but they couldn't let Kujo Sara know about it.

The more curious she was and the more she investigated, the more unhappy she would cause the military.

As for the death of these warriors, Coral Palace has decided to make a big deal about it.

She still would not reveal the truth, but would only expose her weakness to the Shogunate army.

And that was the time when she and Goro had planned for the decisive battle.
