People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

"Governor Nagaoka Hidemitsu, you criticized the Shogun's policies, thus delaying their implementation. The Shogun has decided to strip you of your post and place you under house arrest for thirty days as punishment!"

Kujo Sara, the executor of the Tenryo magistrate, one of the three magistrates, issued a verdict to Nagaoka Hidemitsu, the Inazuma governor before him.

As a result, Hidemitsu Nagaoka in front of him immediately showed a distraught expression, and in a state of complete loss of faith, he was captured by the surrounding Tenryo magistrates.

As the ruling official, his responsibility was to plan and manage the entire Inazuma country, a position equivalent to that of a modern prime minister.

Therefore, he immediately saw the many problems contained in the Eye Hunting Edict and the Seclusion Edict, and tried to stop the general from implementing such an absurd policy.

However, the Kujo family, who were in charge of the Tenryō (Heavenly Rank), and the Hiiragi family, who were in charge of the Kanjō (Statutory Rank), disregarded the facts and forcibly refuted his opinions for their own benefit, and even forced the Raiden General to dismiss him from his post.

Now, Inazuma is essentially under the control of the Kujo and Hiiragi families...

Ordinary civil and military officials could not defy these two powerful families and could only choose to comply and protect themselves.

At this moment, after the Nagaoka Governor was stripped of his post, the woman with purple hair and a heroic aura, who was on the high platform, slowly spoke: "The Nagaoka Governor has been demoted, and the position of Governor has become vacant. Should a new steward be appointed?"

"Of course, General."

Kujo Takayuki, the head of the Kujo family, smiled and said suggestively, "Kujo Sara of our Kujo family is in a suitable position and has been promoted by the Shogun. Perhaps he can take on this role."

"This……"

Upon hearing Kujo Takayuki's words, not only were the others dumbfounded, but even Kujo Sara himself was completely bewildered.

To my surprise, the head of the family recommended me to be the governor of Inazuma. The problem is, she has absolutely no idea how to manage a country...

Kujo Takayuki, on the other hand, stroked his beard, feeling smug.

He wanted someone like Kujo Sara, who knew absolutely nothing about politics, to serve as the butler, so that no matter how outrageous the policies the Kujo family implemented, no one would object, and they could control everything in Inazuma.

In any case, General Raiden himself never cared about state affairs and delegated all power to the three commissioners.

If that's the case, then the Three Commissioners should have been the rulers of this country!

"and many more!"

Just as Kujo Takayuki's plan was about to succeed, Ayato Kamisato, the head of the Kamisato family who controlled the magistrate, stepped forward immediately and said loudly, "General, Kujo Sara is, after all, a military officer. How can a military officer be appointed as a steward?"

"indeed so."

General Thunder nodded, her words devoid of any emotion, like a heartless machine, calmly observing everything before her.

Do you have any recommendations?

"Of course!"

Upon hearing the general's words, Ayato Kamisato immediately spoke up. Although he had only just learned that the governor was to be replaced, he would absolutely not miss such a crucial opportunity.

After all, if the Tenryo Executor and the Kansei Executor were to appoint their own people as rulers, they would completely lose all restraints and take control of the entire Inazuma.

As the head of the family and the head of the shrine, Ayato Kamisato could not stand by and watch all of this happen.

"Are you sure the magistrate can recommend good talent?" Kujo Takayuki, the head of the Kujo family, scoffed. He didn't think much of the young head of the Kamisato family.

However, he did not directly express his opposition, since the Kujo family's current position was stable precisely because they had gained the trust of the Raiden General.

As long as the shogun doesn't abandon the Kujo family, the Kujo family can continue to rule.

“Although the company magistrate doesn’t handle political affairs, I do have a good candidate.” Ayato Kamisato said, forcing a smile. “This person is a guest of our Kamisato family. He has extensive knowledge and a wealth of information. Even I sometimes have to admit defeat to him.”

"Is there really such a person?"

Kujo Takayuki dismissed it with disdain, not believing that a mere guest of the Shinri family could have any power to summon wind and rain.

Where is this person now?

Upon hearing General Raiden's words, Ayato Kamisato was now in a situation where he had no way out.

So he decisively addressed the Thunder General before him, saying, "His name is Ron, and he is currently residing in my Shinri family estate. If Your Excellency requires, you may summon him to Inazuma Castle for Your Excellency to personally assess him!"

"it is good."

General Raiden's attitude was simple and direct; he calmly accepted Ayato Kamisato's proposal.

The Kujo and Hiiragi families, on the other hand, watched with cold indifference as Ayato Kamisato, the representative of the Kamisato family, was very dissatisfied with his behavior of undermining their family interests.

So both sides made a joint decision: this time, the Kamiri family had to suffer a bit, and they could not allow them to continue interfering with their plans!

After seeing General Raiden turn and leave, Ayato Kamisato sighed helplessly.

Recommending Ron to become consul was also something he hadn't calculated.

But he couldn't care less about that right now.

At the very least, he absolutely cannot allow the Kujo family and the Hiiragi family to seize the position of governor.

Of course, he was also well aware that Ron would definitely be targeted by the Kujo and Hiiragi families, and there was a high probability that he would encounter danger sent by these two families.

Ayato Kamisato made up his mind that he had to provide Ron with sufficient protection in the future.

Otherwise, if the other party is murdered before becoming governor, not to mention whether his own conscience will be troubled, his plan to fight against the Kujo and Hiiragi families will be completely ruined!

Chapter 117 A mere guest advisor! We, the Fools, can easily deal with him!

"No, please don't kill me!"

"I don't want to die!!!"

The sharp blade sliced ​​across the man's neck, and glaring blood splattered across the ground.

A conscientious butler from Inatsume looked at the masked figures before him in despair, his face filled with intense despair and regret, and collapsed to the ground.

The ground was completely stained red.

"The mission is complete, Your Excellency."

The masked debt collector spoke slowly, showing a respectful expression to the woman in front of him who wore a butterfly mask and a strange long dress.

"Very good. In this way, all the conscientious officials who obstructed the Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order will be dead..." Lady Rosalind said with a smile, "What we need to do next is to further exacerbate the chaos in the country of Inazuma, and plunge the entire country into the quagmire of war! At that time, the Heart of the Thunder God will surely appear before you and me!"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

In addition to the open power struggle among the three magistrates and the conflict between the shogunate army and the resistance forces, another force has now become involved in Inazuma.

Those were the fools from the land of Winter.

The Fools' goal is to seize the Heart of the Thunder God, and to achieve this, they must throw Inazuma into chaos, giving him the opportunity to obtain the Heart of the Thunder God.

To this end, the Fools even sent two executors to Inazuma to try to complete the task.

[Lady] Rosalyn is the eighth Executor of the Fatui. After obtaining the Heart of the Wind God of Mondstadt, she went straight across the sea to the island of Inazuma and sent out a large number of Fatui spies to carry out various covert assassinations and stir up chaos in Inazuma.

"Speaking of Sanbing, where is he? I haven't seen him since I arrived in Inazuma?"

Upon hearing Rosalyn's words, the debt collector dared not give a casual reply.

After all, that "Skirmisher" was an executive officer of the Fools, just like Rosalyn, and even ranked above the lady, being the sixth-ranked executive officer member.

How could ordinary fools dare to speak directly to such an important figure?

Of course, after sensing Rosalyn's attitude, the debt collector slowly spoke up: "Lord Sanbing is dealing with the rebel army on Haiji Island. He has created a special item that can greatly increase the rebel army's combat power! This way, the rebel army can hold out against the shogunate army for longer and launch a larger-scale uprising."

"I see."

Rosalyn nodded, agreeing with the skirmishers' approach, but feeling slightly dissatisfied with their complete disregard for her.

Since I came all the way here to help Inazuma, and he's also an executive officer, he should at least come and meet me.

The aloof attitude the other party is now displaying is undoubtedly unacceptable to Rosalyn.

"Humph……"

Just as Rosalind was planning to deal with that fellow member of the Fools, a message suddenly came from the Fools' special communication system.

"Is Inazuma about to elect a new governor?"

"Recommended by Ayato Kamisato of the Kamisato family, a guest retainer of the Kamisato family?"

Upon hearing this news, Rosalyn slowly frowned. "The Kamisato family's representative, Sakumi, has been trying to stop the Eye Hunting Edict and the Isolation Edict. We couldn't find any weaknesses to deal with them before, but now it seems that these guys are indeed a troublesome opponent."

"Madam, what should we do? Kill him?"

The debt collector spoke with a cold expression.

“Hmm.” Rosalind nodded expressionlessly and said, “We can’t touch the Kamisato family; it would easily provoke a reaction from General Raiden. But this mere guest retainer can be easily dealt with before he becomes the governor! Get ready, let’s take care of that guest retainer named Ron!”

"good!!"

The debtor nodded in a low voice, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Hmph, the crisis at Inazuma is over, and the Heart of God will surely fall into my hands." [Lady] Rosalyn gazed at the island surrounded by lightning before her, a confident expression on her face.

She calmly turned around and walked toward the Fools' stronghold in Inazuma Castle.

……

"The governor of Inazuma has been replaced?"

"Yes, breaking news!"

On the island of Umigi, far away in the corner of Inazuma, a girl with pink hair and wearing a long dress stroked her chin, a thoughtful expression on her face.

She is the leader of the Inazuma Rebellion, the living goddess priestess of Umijima Island, and Kokoro-no-Kami.

As Inazuma's seclusion order and eye-hunting order become increasingly severe, the resistance army led by Sangokiya is now the only organization capable of resisting the rule of the gods.

Although their armed forces were far inferior to the Shogunate army, they were still able to hold their own against the Shogunate army, which did not have the participation of Raijin, thanks to the terrain advantage.

However, Coral Palace Heart Sea also understands that the reason why Inazuma has not yet conquered Umijima Island is simply because General Raiden has not taken action.

No one knows what that general is really thinking.

If one day General Thunder changes his mind and chooses to launch a direct attack on Sea God Island, then I'm afraid no one will be able to stop the advance of that Thunder God.

"What is the identity of the new consul?"

"A guest of the Kamisato family, a stranger named Ron. Of course, although he is a stranger, the head of the Kamisato family, Kamisato Ayato, is doing his best to protect him in front of the shogun, so he has already obtained the shogun's permission and will soon be going to Inazuma Castle to meet with General Raiden."

"I see. It seems this was a delaying tactic by the head of the Shenli family..."

As the leader of the resistance, Coral Palace Kokomi naturally kept a close eye on the situation in Inazuma.

With the help of intelligence provided by the rebels' informants, she kept a close eye on every move in Inazuma Castle.
