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

Chapter 98 I Have Admiral Kamo Saburo

My dear friend... I have complete faith in you.

Dadalia walked at the very front of the group, his weapon gripping tightly in his hand.

He glanced back at the somewhat disorganized line, feeling increasingly uncertain.

First of all, I have absolutely no doubt about your meaning or thoughts, but you have already told me that the enemy has at least three thousand troops to confront me head-on...

Is it a bit much that you only gave me 800 people...?

Hmm... Is it possible that my partner thinks I can take down the enemy's three thousand soldiers by myself, and these eight hundred are just there to protect me?

He clenched his fist and slapped his palm.

Once you think about it that way, there's no problem.

Soon, the team led by Kamo Saburo arrived at Nashiina. Opposite them was a well-organized and solemn army. Even without the leadership of General Kujo Sara, they were perfectly arrayed and vigilant against all dangers around them.

D'Artagnan's lips twitched.

No wonder my comrades use a series of interconnected schemes; the soldiers' professionalism is completely different.

Although he had seen far more terrifying armies, the problem was that comparisons were inevitable, and the Shogunate army before him was far superior in quality to his own.

If I had brought Capitano's elite troops, let alone 800 men, even 500 men would have been enough for my companions and me to easily break through the enemy's 20,000-strong force.

Now... we can only proceed step by step according to our partner's plan.

"Is the visitor the commander of the Sea God Army, Aranami Kamo Saburo?"

A man emerged from the shogunate army, dressed in a long robe, looking like a civil official, and speaking with an air of superiority.

"Exactly."

"The General, moved by the hardships endured by the Coral Palace, disregarded past grievances and allowed you to continue your sacrifices in the name of the Great Sea God. This is the magistrate's mercy. Since you understand the situation and know when to act, why do you raise an unjust army to invade my territory?"

The young master burst into laughter: "I am acting on imperial orders... I am commanding troops to lead the army. I don't understand your convoluted schemes. You speak of righteousness and awe, but do you dare to fight me? I wonder if you'll still be so stubborn after taking one of my blades?"

"?"

Seeing that this man was not behaving according to protocol, the military civilian official of the shogunate flicked his sleeves and walked back to his ranks: "Vulgar!"

Daddariya chuckled inwardly.

Hehe, just as my partner said, the other party was using all sorts of underhanded tricks, really trying to gain a huge advantage without suffering any losses.

(In the mountains and forests where sand dunes are steep)

A special unit secretly crossed the sea under the cover of darkness amidst the chaos of war.

The woman with long pink hair changed into a military uniform and stood in the mountains gazing at the main camp of the Shogunate army in the distance.

The little dog general, with its tail drooping, slowly walked up from behind and said in a low voice, "Lord Coral Palace, please take a rest. Your body won't be able to take it after these few days of busy work."

The girl simply waved her hand without saying a word. From behind, she looked much thinner, clearly due to her busy work with the war.

"Should we take this opportunity to attack the enemy's main camp?"

The other party shook his head and gently waved his hand, which was covered by a white half-gloved hand, signaling the troops to retreat.

She crouched down, feeling uneasy.

Hopefully the plan will succeed...

-

"Bear with it, it really hurts!"

Dartalia charged straight into the enemy ranks like the sharpest thorn, inspiring the soldiers behind him to fight with fervor.

The water blade pierced the enemy's heart, and a large amount of liquid gushed out, staining half of the young master's cheek red, before slowly dripping away as the rain washed over it.

The drizzle had long since turned into a dense and torrential downpour, with water droplets constantly dripping from her orange hair and soaking her red scarf.

The two liquids continued to mix and coat each other, but Datalia paid no heed and headed towards the deepest part of the enemy lines.

The civil official who had just wanted to demonstrate his abilities through a heated debate was now lying motionless on the ground.

Can they escape?

His sharp gaze pierced through the crowd and caught sight of a man dressed in general's armor.

So that's how it is. Kujo Sara isn't here.

The samurai stared intently at the warrior charging at him. Whether it was a long spear, a short sword, or a bladed axe, none of them had a chance to struggle against this Kamo Saburo, as if they had been completely seen through.

The dense barrage of arrows disregarded friendly forces, firing them all to protect the samurai.

As if obeying Tartaglia's command, the raindrops in the air gathered on the water blade. With a single slash, a shield-like curtain of water rose up, burying all the arrows within it.

The young master's movements were fluid and graceful. The shadows magnified from behind the water curtain as his body burst forth, throwing out a slender double-headed sword that transformed into a circular saw, tearing the archer's body apart.

Running constantly didn't drain his energy much; it was just routine for him.

Meanwhile, because the surrounding enemies were completely unable to keep up with his pace, the camp was fragmented and became extremely chaotic due to his presence alone.

The samurai leader's figure grew larger and larger in his pupils, and the flaming samurai sword he held high was about to fall.

Without dodging or avoiding, he caught the returning double-headed sword, transformed it into a samurai sword, and went straight to meet it.

The sound of metal clashing lasted only a moment before the violent force slashed the blade back.

"Open your eyes and look carefully, your powerlessness."

As Shui Dao finished speaking, he was about to strike when the sound of wind breaking through the air reached the young master's ears.

He had no choice but to retreat, as his hair was soaked and stuck to his face, and the arrows hadn't even managed to remove a single strand of hair.

"Not lightning? Is it some other kind of support?"

D'Artagnan looked into the distance; a dark mass of troops was rapidly approaching, their numbers roughly equal to those of the troops present.

It is said that the shogunate army mobilized a total of 8,000 elite troops, and releasing 6,000 of them at once is quite a show of respect.

The young master grinned, looked at the enemy rushing into the battlefield, and sighed as he watched his troops soon be divided and surrounded.

His men were already considering leaving.

Sigh, the hastily assembled team is really terrible.

He didn't pursue the matter further, and before the encirclement could be formed, he loudly gave the order to retreat.

The words had barely left his lips when his teammates, as if grasping at a straw, fled without looking back.

"..."

I'm truly impressed.

-

Walking on the tar sand in the mountains and forests.

The Coral Palace squad is concealing themselves.

The goddess, now a human, sat on a stool accompanying the army, gazing into the distance.

A flash of lightning, and the little dog general tackled it to the ground.

The arrow pierced through the distant tree trunk, carving out a terrifying circular hole.

"The scouts' intelligence was indeed correct. I knew it was this tactic that made your movements so puzzling."

Kujo Sara emerged from the forest, accompanied by several hundred members of the shogunate's army.

Kamo Saburo won the first battle, forcing me to send troops to reinforce him, and they then fled. This drew almost all of my forces into pursuit, and then they used a surprise attack force to penetrate my rear, relying on the quality of the sea monster's generals to wipe out my army.

Most importantly, she might not be able to safely retreat to Kujo Jinya in front of those new faces who had never made a move before and Kamo Saburo.

Without generals, the shogunate army would be no match for the sea spirit army.

"Lord Coral Palace, please forgive me."

Seeing the enemies closing in, the little dog general scooped up the girl beside him and fled in the opposite direction.

Kujo Sara showed no mercy, and her arrow shot out in an instant, heading straight for the enemy leader.

The final scene shows the leader of the Coral Palace being pushed down the hillside by her capable general, while he is struck in the back of the heart by a flying arrow, blood gushing out as he lies on the ground.

Chapter 99 Boarding

Although it looked cool that eight hundred samurai were arrayed to face three thousand shogunate soldiers, their hasty retreat was truly pathetic.

The remaining five or six hundred defeated soldiers, seeing that a quarter of their troops had been wiped out, quickly fled back to the main force, without needing D'Artagnan's command at all.

He personally took the lead in covering the rear, engaging in a fierce battle with the relentless pursuing enemy.

"Brother Qin Ye, the young master has retreated as you requested."

Tatiana's figure emerged from the mirror.

Qin Ye waved his feather fan: "Well, when the enemy army is in disarray, you should follow D'Artagnan and lead your troops in pursuit. Don't kill them all; they'll still be useful."

"Yes."

From their perspective, they could see the fleeing remnants of the army constantly appearing, and they also noticed the little boy in the red scarf who was still reaping the lives of the enemy at the very end.

"A partner?"

When D'Artagnan saw the familiar four-wheeled vehicle come into view, he used his sword to cut down the pursuers.

"Quick! Run! With Kamo Saburo-kun as our leader, we feel so safe. Luckily, we didn't rebel back then."

The fleeing soldiers ahead were still rejoicing at having such a dutiful general when a bolt of lightning flashed through their ranks.

The young master used his Evil Eye and instantly appeared in front of Qin Ye, waving to him.

"Partner, the task you assigned me has been completed. Approximately six thousand people have entered the target location."

"Well done, I'll treat you to something nice when we get back to Zhidong."

Qin Ye raised his feather fan high, and the neatly arranged archers on the mountain appeared.

A careful observer will notice that, apart from the eight hundred men who accompanied D'Artagnan, the other soldiers were almost all equipped with light armor and longbows.
