"It seems everything is alright now."
After running for nearly half an hour, Su Hao realized that no authoritative gazes were fixed on him, and no lightning was falling from the sky. He quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong? Is it some kind of terrifying enemy?" Wan Ye looked at Su Hao, who was still on guard, ready to react should an enemy appear.
He would act according to the situation. If the enemy was terrifying, he would use the power of the wind to take Su Hao and Ella away and then make further plans.
“Hmm… the one who lives in the castle tower.” Su Hao didn’t intend to hide anything from Wan Ye, because she wasn’t a talkative person. He said in a very subtle tone, “The move I used originated from her.”
"She probably sensed me when I used that move, which is why I suggested we run away quickly."
Upon hearing Su Hao's words, Wan Ye's eyes flashed with curiosity. He did not press Su Hao for an explanation as to why Su Hao was afraid of the General, even though that move originated from the General.
Everyone has their own secrets, and he is no exception.
"However, because we traveled an extra half hour, we are now completely in Ta'ersha."
Manyo raised his head, staring ahead. As if he had heard something, he said calmly, "The shogunate army has set up camp not far from us. It seems they intend to rest for the night before continuing their advance."
"However, at this rate, it will probably take only a few days for this army to reach Ba Niang Island, which is the place where the rebels are said to be active."
After nearly half a day, Su Hao and his group finally caught up with the shogunate army led by Kujo Sara.
“Okay.” Su Hao nodded, then looked at Ella and Wan Ye and said, “Let’s sneak over quietly and wait for the resistance fighters to appear.”
"Appeared?" Wan Ye looked at Su Hao in confusion. He wanted to say... the resistance was currently weak, and the Heavenly Territory was acting with force.
Logically speaking, the rebels should have taken advantage of the fact that the Heavenly Lord's army had not yet arrived to quickly expand their own power.
After all, although the army led by Kujo Sara was the most elite group, their numbers were still too small.
On the Coral Palace side, it's a home-field battle. The resistance might lose and suffer heavy casualties, but they will definitely not be wiped out.
Compared to most Inatsume people, this is someone who believes Kujo Sara will definitely win.
Manyo, on the other hand, began to rationally consider this war that had not yet begun.
"No, we'll see soon enough." Su Hao smiled as he led Ella and a puzzled Man Ye toward the Shogunate army.
After they arrived at the Shogunate army's location, Su Hao informed Coral Palace Heart Sea of their arrival.
[Su Hao: "@Coral Palace Heart Sea, we've arrived. The Shogunate army is at the foot of the mountain."]
[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "So fast? I haven't made any arrangements yet."]
[Ella: "Arriving early is fine, don't worry about it."]
[Kuki Shinobu: Sigh, I feel so sorry for Sara. I hope she doesn't suffer too much from this.]
[Raiden Shin: "As a member of the Kujo family, she definitely won't be discouraged. In fact, I think she'll see through this conspiracy and stop everyone."]
[Su Hao: "Even knowing it's a conspiracy, she'll still rush in headlong, because it concerns the General's dignity. Suppressing the rebels as soon as possible is an order from the head of the Kujo family."]
[Su Hao: "Of course, the head of the Kujo family will probably make Kujo Sara back down at a crucial moment, thus giving the resistance army a breathing space. After all, the two magistrates still need to use the resistance army to do some shady things."]
[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "These guys are truly despicable. The resistance was clearly formed to overthrow the Eye Hunting Order, yet it's inexplicably become an organization rebelling against the General."]
[Hiruzen: "While I understand what you mean, most people feel you're rebelling against the Shogun. Anyway, I'm at the outlying island now; I'm going to investigate the Hiiragi family first."]
[Su Hao: "Be careful, don't get too close to the Hiiragi family. If anything happens, you can go to Thomas."]
[Hiruzen: "I know, you're just like my mom."]
[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "@Su Hao, group leader, the plan is about to begin. I've sent Wu Lang to take action. Be careful."]
[Su Hao: "@Coral Palace Xin Hai, understood. I'll keep an eye on things from here and be on the scene immediately if anything unexpected happens."]
After the message was relayed in the group, Su Hao quietly waited for things to begin.
At this moment, the Shogunate army at the foot of the mountain had already set up camp. They started a fire to cook, and before long, the meal was ready. A group of Shogunate soldiers sat down to eat, chatting and laughing.
Even from that distance, Su Hao could sense the ease with which these Shogunate soldiers were relaxed, as if they had come here not to fight, but to go on vacation.
While eating, they left their weapons aside, never imagining that they would be ambushed.
Only Kujo Sara was fully armed at this moment. She carried a war bow on her back and had a feather fan hanging at her waist. Although she was eating with the soldiers, she was very vigilant, as if she was ready to start a battle at any time.
"Even elite troops, without experience in large-scale battles, are prone to complacency."
Listening to the sound of the wind, Wan Ye sighed and shook his head, continuing, "One side is going all out, while the other side is taking it lightly. The battle won't end so quickly."
As soon as Manyo finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and shifted his gaze from the shogunate army to the other side.
"Shua——!!!"
An arrow flew from a distance.
"Huh?!" Kujo Sara noticed something and suddenly dropped the food in her hand, leaped up, and took the war bow off her back.
She used lightning element to condense an arrow, nocked it, drew the bow, and shot it—all in one smooth motion!
With a whoosh, an arrow formed from lightning element shattered the arrow that was flying from afar.
"Enemy attack!!!!!" Kujo Sara shouted, and she rushed out first.
Upon hearing Kujo Sara's words, the shogunate soldiers were initially puzzled, but then they realized that the enemy was attacking. They quickly stood up and went to get their weapons.
"Charge with me!!!"
On the other side, a handsome young man with animal ears and a tail charged out with a bow, followed by a group of people dressed in all sorts of clothes, and together they charged toward the Shogunate army camp.
They were few in number, less than fifty, but their morale was extremely high.
The generals and elite soldiers who were with Kujo Sara immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed to Kujo Sara's side. They were furious when they saw the less than one hundred "resistance soldiers" charging towards them.
Since the other side dared to look down on them, they should know that their side of the Shogunate army had more than three thousand men, and they were only the vanguard. There were many more men coming towards them from the rear.
These guys actually dared to rush over with just a few people; they don't take us seriously at all!
The two sides immediately engaged in battle, and the scene became somewhat chaotic for a time.

Chapter 39
"Really here?"
At this moment, Wan Ye seemed extremely puzzled. The resistance force consisted of less than fifty people. Was this what they called fighting a war?
Although these fifty-odd people were quite strong, the one named Goro among them possessed particularly remarkable martial arts skills.
After all, he was the only one present who could fight Kujo Sara head-on.
"Yes, they've really arrived." Su Hao nodded, looking at the scene before him, and said calmly, "Let's get ready, we'll be leaving soon."
"Huh?" Wan Ye was slightly taken aback, and then he saw that the situation in the arena had changed again.
Goro's group of over fifty men was quite strong, but at this moment, the shogunate soldiers also picked up their weapons and rushed out, intending to surround them.
Goro suddenly fired an arrow, temporarily forcing Kujo Sara back. He shouted, "Not good! The surprise attack failed! We retreat!!!"
Then, just as if it had been rehearsed, the stronger players avoided their immediate opponents, while the weaker players immediately threw smoke bombs at their feet.
In an instant, the more than fifty rebels began to retreat, just as they had come in haste and left in haste.
"Outrageous! Outrageous!!!"
A general with the Eye of Thunder Element hanging from his waist was now furious. He looked at Goro and the others' backs and said, "You think you can just come and go as you please?! It's not that easy!!"
The general was about to rush forward, but he was quickly held back by his friend, because the general hadn't even spoken yet.
"Lord Kujo Sara, what should we do?"
The shogunate general standing to the side looked at Kujo Sara and gestured for the next action.
At this moment, Kujo Sara also fell into a brief moment of contemplation. Having fought for so long, she had never seen such a scene before. However, she finally said calmly, "Chase them. We're not eating. Come with me and see where their camp is."
With that, Kujo Sara charged forward first, firing arrows again to disrupt the strongmen of the resistance.
Although we don't know what their purpose is, if we can keep one of them in custody, we can extract information from them.
Kujo Sara's archery skills were not bad, but the rebels also had Goro supporting them, and he frequently shot arrows, knocking Kujo Sara's arrows down.
The shogunate soldiers were seething with anger. They had been enjoying their meal when they were interrupted, and they couldn't swallow this insult.
And so, Goro and the others fled in front, while Kujo Sara and the others chased after them.
The distance between the two sides was gradually closed, and finally the shogunate army saw many tents in the distance, which were where the rebels lived.
"Everyone, run!!! Those damned shogunate troops are coming!!!" Goro shouted, as if afraid that Kujo Sara wouldn't know.
Soon, people dressed in various clothes, seemingly from all over the world, ran out of the tents. Upon seeing the rebels, they dropped their weapons and hurriedly ran in one direction.
Many of the Shogunate soldiers had a slight smile on their faces. Yes, in their eyes, this was how the resistance fighters should be.
A bunch of rabble, daring to defy the General, they're practically courting death!
"…………"
However, Kujo Sara and several generals frowned slightly. Looking at the rebels in their current state, they began to think that this was not their conspiracy.
How could there be a situation where they flee in disarray before the battle even begins?
"Lord Kujo Sara..." A general looked at Kujo Sara, as if he wanted to say something.
Kujo Sara shook her head and said calmly, "This might be their scheme to make us suspicious, to make us think they have some trump card, and to make us afraid to act rashly."
"In this way, they might buy more time. Back on Ba Niang Island, you fought against the rebels. Don't you know their strength?"
Kujo Sara's words made some generals' eyes gleam.
Not long ago, when they went to Hachijou Island, they did indeed encounter a small team of rebels. They were far too weak; even Lord Kujou Sara hadn't made a move yet.
He was taken down by a few soldiers who were just ordinary people who had never received any formal combat training.
“So, they need to buy time to attract more people to join the resistance.” Kujo Sara recalled the previous duel in front of the emperor, where that unknown samurai was actually quite strong.
If capable individuals within Inazuma were to defy the Shogun's order to hunt down enemies and join the resistance, the consequences would likely be even more severe.
Therefore, Kujo Sara said calmly, "We must wipe out the entire main force of the resistance army right here!"
With that, Kujo Sara led his troops in another charge. The other generals exchanged glances, their eyes filled with determination, and followed Kujo Sara.
