Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

A resounding rejection echoed through the sky. Xin Hai knew that whatever she said at this point would be futile, and her words urging everyone to calm down would only make them think that she was compromising.

"We won the first time, we won the second time, and naturally we can win the third! The fourth time! Because we have a leader who far surpasses the Three Principles of the People!"

The crowd's morale was at its peak, but Qin Ye suddenly became serious.

“I was just a lowly guest of the magistrate’s office, and I have never been valued. Today, Lord Xinhai has taken me in, so how can I repay kindness with enmity?”

He shook his head, his tone resolute: "If war breaks out, I will risk everything, even my life! I will be shattered to pieces! I will not hesitate!"

This time, the shouts in the crowd didn't even have anyone else leading the way; everyone was repeating Qin Ye's words at the same time.

Qin Ye mocked himself inwardly.

I never thought those conversation techniques I learned from Puccini would actually come in handy. Back in winter, I guess I'll have to spend a few days voluntarily on a streetlamp...

However, given the current situation and momentum, how long can you maintain control over them? Coral Palace Heart Sea?

(Author's note: First of all, I would like to clarify that although the protagonist is sometimes unscrupulous, he also has his own bottom line. He is by no means an ambitious person who uses the lives of ordinary people to achieve his own goals. You can rest assured about this.)

Coral Palace Heart Sea is a person who cares about the people and soldiers, so she is easily swayed. She wants to meet the people's expectations and does not want to disappoint everyone. The protagonist also takes advantage of this to get her to start the war quickly, otherwise it would have dragged on for who knows how long.

I also heard that some friends are starting school tomorrow, quite a few people have told me. I should be starting around early September too. Here, I wish everyone academic success, smooth work, and a happy life. Thank you for your continued support.

Chapter 95 Waste Utilization

"Lord Qin Ye, the task assigned to us by the patriarch has been completed."

The man and woman, dressed in ninja attire, knelt on one knee before Qin Ye and respectfully reported their findings.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. Please remember to thank Ayato-nii for me."

The ninja standing before Qin Ye was from a secret organization under a certain cunning man—the Final Chapter.

As expected, in Inazuma, ninjas are always an indispensable force in major incidents.

These people naturally blended in with the migrants as they fled westward.

"We will certainly convey the message. The head of the family has other tasks that require our attention. We will take our leave now."

Qin Ye smiled and fanned himself with a feather fan: "Well, Brother Ayato is very busy, so he is naturally not as idle as someone like me. Also, you can tell him exactly what happened when I incited the soldiers of Haiqi Island."

"Ok?"

The ninjas present looked at each other, filled with confusion.

They deliberately avoided this topic, not wanting the other party to bring it up, because if the magistrate knew about such rhetoric, the other party's level of danger would likely increase by a level.

The ninjas certainly didn't want to be stabbed seven times in the back on their way out and then have their deaths ruled as suicide.

I never expected him to bring it up on his own initiative.

Could it be that he never intended to let us go back?

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not some kind of devil. I'm very tolerant of my comrades. Besides, I'll leave Inazuma after this incident is over. If something similar happens again in the future, Ayato-nii can learn these words from me and turn the tables anytime, right?"

Qin Ye's smiling eyes sent chills down their spines.

"You...you can rest assured, we will absolutely not say anything out of line."

"Tsk tsk, sometimes being too good at keeping secrets isn't a good thing."

Qin Ye waved his feather fan outside and turned to leave, saying, "You may go."

The man's words seemed harmless at first glance, but combined with his earlier inflammatory rhetoric on Haiji Island, it appeared he was telling these ninjas, "It doesn't matter if you know, but if Ayato Kamisato learns it clearly, what's the difference between that and plotting a rebellion?"

Judging from the "human things" the other party usually does, is the statement "The ninja dares not gamble" more sincere or a threat?

That's about right.

Qin Ye silently pondered the remaining matters that needed to be dealt with, which numbered less than five.

As for those inflammatory remarks, it doesn't matter how they spread after he leaves Inazuma. He just doesn't want this matter to suddenly delay the progress of the plan at the final stage.

Looking at the troops training day and night at the Coral Palace, he slowly nodded.

Although Coral Palace Heart Sea doesn't want to see him now, it doesn't matter, because he will go to see him in person soon.

Instead of rushing back to his residence, Qin Ye strode towards the outer beach of Haiqi Island to find Tadalia, who had arrived there earlier.

-

The Bund

Rows of sea monsters and wild thugs knelt on the beach, their hands obediently resting on their knees, heads bowed and silent.

D'Artagnan lay on a beach chair they had carefully crafted, sipping juice and enjoying the cool breeze from the hand-operated fans on either side.

He remained silent for a long time, making the ronin below feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I'm talking to you guys."

"Hi!"

The tense crowd answered almost instantly.

Do you know why I'm here to see you today?

"I...I don't know..."

"Hmm?" The man paused in drinking his juice, his eyes, which had been gazing at the sky, suddenly turned straight, startling the ronin.

"I know...I know..." they quickly corrected themselves.

"tell me the story."

"Oh, this..." People started whispering among themselves, no one wanting to get into trouble.

D'Artagnan spoke slowly: "Logically speaking, you should have no way out, but my companions suggested that I spare your lives. I have gathered you here today to give you a chance. When you see him later, remember to be careful, understand?"

"Hi!"

"That's right, but by the way, don't use those kinds of interjections; they're annoying to listen to."

"H...Yes!"

Before long, a figure with silver hair and a crane-cloak approached from afar: "Dartaria, how was the explanation?"

Upon seeing his companion arrive, the young master quickly leaped up from his recliner: "Comrade! You can trust me to handle things. All the surviving ronin have been gathered here."

"Well, so good."

Qin Ye nodded in satisfaction and carefully counted the number of people.

There are roughly three hundred people... and these are all top-quality tsuba (sword guards)... no, I mean human resources.

"I have gathered you all here today to show you the way."

He pointed with his feather fan to the boy in the red scarf beside him: "You must all be familiar with this man. He is my good brother, and you should all have experienced his strength."

He spread his arms wide: "We should have wiped out all of you rebels, but the current goddess of the Coral Palace is moved by your plight and has sent me to persuade you to join the Sea God Army and serve us."

The samurai's eyes lit up, and the bolder ones shuffled forward on their knees, asking, "Is there any reward?"

"?"

Qin Ye's gaze instantly turned icy, and he silently turned around: "D'Artagnan."

"What's wrong, buddy?"

"Shut him up."

"learn!"

The sword sliced ​​across the samurai's throat, and the body fell to the ground.

"I haven't even finished speaking, and you dare to negotiate with me. That's interesting."

I'm getting something for free and you're making me work for you for free? This is such an honorable thing, and you still dare to ask for payment?

The sudden, terrifying scene made those below reassess their position.

These two people in front of them—no, either one of them could easily take their lives.

Seeing that they were terrified, Qin Ye smiled and spoke gently.

"Of course, I didn't invite you all here to die. You are all aware of the recent movements of the Sea God Army and the Shogunate Army. If they really clash, you all know what fate awaits you before that happens."

Kill him to silence him...

Kaiji Island feared they might take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, so they were constantly being suppressed. Since they were originally refugees from Inazuma Castle, the shogunate army naturally didn't like them either.

The samurai understood this very well.

"So you should understand that joining us is the only way out; at least you'll have a chance to survive once you're on the battlefield."

Seeing that some people were already wavering, Qin Ye added fuel to the fire.

"I'll give you a week to invite the warriors hidden in various places to join the Sea God Army. I will give you a separate organization. If you invite the most warriors, I will give you the title of group leader. At that time, whether you want to charge into battle or sit on the high platform is up to you."

The subtext is that we've given you a chance to increase your survival rate by being cowardly at the end.

Those who understood the subtext immediately stood up, eager to seize the position, while others had ulterior motives.

Qin Ye added at the end: "I think you must be wondering why my friends find you so easily on ordinary days... I know that not all of you were gathered this time. Some of you are hiding in the Water Moon Pool, and some of you have gone to the Wuming Fortress."

He looked at the samurai who were standing still with other thoughts, and seeing the fear in their eyes, he realized that his guess was correct.

Then, changing his tone and becoming more amiable, he said, "Don't look at me with that terrified expression. As long as you work well for me, I won't treat you unfairly. But if you desert in the face of danger and run away, I won't say anything. But if you can't run away..."

A swift bolt of lightning shot out from his palm, striking the floating spirit hundreds of meters away and instantly knocking it down.

"Alright, everyone can leave now."

After the samurai had quickly run far away, D'Artagnan scratched his head: "Partner, are you really planning to give these good-for-nothings a chance?"

"Re-employ? Are you kidding me?" Qin Ye looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"That's for?"

He reached out and pulled the young master into his arms, patting his chest: "Brother Kamo Saburo, you still have a lot to learn."

Qin Ye strode away.

I simply made their deaths more meaningful.
