Tokugawa Sen fell silent immediately. In that case, his sacrifices seemed insignificant compared to the great hatred of the Tokugawa family.

Moreover, Tokugawa Senya had never considered what he would do after taking revenge.

"From now on, you'll stay by my side. You can pay back what you owe me slowly. I will help you rediscover the value of life. Only constant fighting can bring you more happiness, and as the head of the Oda clan, and the man who will unify the entire JP region, I can offer you this opportunity."

Faced with Tokugawa Chi's silence, Lin Qi regained his faint smile, made his request, and extended his hand to her.

"it is good!"

When Tokugawa Chihiro heard about the slow repayment, she hesitated for a moment, but Lin Qi's next words struck a chord with her!

That's right! Battle! Tokugawa Sen's nickname is "War Princess"! She craves battle! Endless battle! Only battle can make her feel alive! Feel true joy!

So Tokugawa Sen also reached out and grasped Lin Qi's hand, letting him pull him into his arms!

Chapter 173 489

The Tokugawa family's power shift was completed overnight, and by the time other countries realized what was happening, the Tokugawa family had already changed hands.

In the Tokugawa clan's power struggle, the Oda clan was naturally the biggest winner, while the Takeda clan was undoubtedly the biggest loser, not counting the already extinct Tokugawa Ieyasu.

In the Takeda clan's main camp, the three generals gathered together, with the body of Baba Akira behind them.

The three generals gathered together for two reasons: one was to pay tribute to the fallen Baba Shoen, and the other was to analyze this bizarre battle!

"The battle began when the Tokugawa clan's tanuki (raccoon dog) army was hunted down by unknown individuals who skinned and gutted them. The tanuki were eventually discovered in the Takeda clan's territory, and the Tokugawa clan confirmed that the hunters were Takeda soldiers who wanted to make tanuki pelts to present to one of the Four Generals who was about to celebrate his birthday. Enraged, the Tokugawa clan officially declared war on us and massacred two small towns. We had no choice but to retaliate forcefully, which led to a stalemate between us and the Tokugawa clan."

"The Tokugawa clan considered retreating when three generals made a strong appearance, but the Oda clan allied with the Tokugawa clan at this time and fought a tough battle with us. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and the battle reached a stalemate."

"The battle with the Tokugawa clan tied up three generals, and the Hojo and Uesugi clans in the north and east immediately launched an invasion of our territory. In order to return to our aid as quickly as possible, the three generals launched a strong attack on the allied forces of the Tokugawa and Oda clans. However, the main force of the Oda clan seemed to have anticipated our actions and withdrew in advance, so we only inflicted serious damage on the Tokugawa clan."

"Just as we were preparing to press our advantage and wipe out the Tokugawa clan in one fell swoop, the Oda clan's elite troops appeared from the rear, relentlessly breaching our rear and main lines, cutting down the commander's flag, and creating a loophole in our tight encirclement. This gave the Tokugawa clan a chance to catch their breath and escape with their remaining forces. At the same time, after cutting down the commander's flag, the Oda clan's elite troops also withdrew without any further fighting, their speed leaving us no time to react."

"What's even more serious is that our camp was actually attacked by the Iga ninjas of the Oda clan. Although the Iga ninjas suffered heavy losses, one of the four generals, Baba Shoen, was assassinated. This also shows that the Oda clan had anticipated our actions and that our camp was empty."

"Then the remnants of the Tokugawa clan disappeared. The Oda clan claimed that they were wiped out by our pursuing forces, but now the Oda clan's army controls the entire Tokugawa territory. It is clear that the Oda clan's army was the one that intercepted and killed the Tokugawa army."

Known as the most intelligent strategist of the Takeda clan, Sanada Torin, with her short silver hair, remained calm even when facing the body of Baba Shoen. She explained the course of the entire battle, from the very beginning to the annexation of the Tokugawa clan by the Oda clan.

With each sentence, the expressions of General Yamagata Masakage and "Ninja Emperor" Kosaka Yoshikaze grew increasingly grim. Initially, they hadn't thought much of it, but after Sanada Torin's analysis, they finally understood what was going on in this battle!

From the very beginning, this was a battle controlled by an invisible hand, and the owner of this invisible hand was undoubtedly the Oda clan, the biggest winner in this battle!

In dealing with the Tokugawa clan's aftermath, the Oda clan's actions were somewhat ugly, but at least they covered it up. Even though everyone knew that it was their ally, the Oda clan, who wiped out the remnants of the Tokugawa clan, they couldn't say anything, since the Takeda clan, who had launched the night raid on the allied forces, had already taken the blame.

"It seems that we have been used as pawns this time. Not only did the Oda clan annex the Tokugawa clan, but it also dragged the Takeda, Uesugi, and Hojo clans into the quagmire of war. With Baba dead, we are even more unable to deal with the Oda clan."

[Ninja Emperor] Kosaka Yoshikaze sighed, his face showing no anger whatsoever, only a faint smile, and he was extremely impressed by the methods of the Oda clan.

This not only allowed the Oda clan to grow even stronger, but also prevented the Takeda clan, the aggrieved party, from dealing with them.

"Things aren't that simple. If I'm not mistaken, the Oda clan will soon make a new move."

Compared to the calm and collected strategist Sanada Torin and the bitter-smiling ninja emperor Kosaka Yoshikaze, the Supreme Commander Yamagata Masakage looked rather grim. His intuition about war was much sharper, and he always felt that the Oda clan, which had made so many arrangements to plunge Shikoku into chaos, was satisfied with merely annexing the Tokugawa clan.

“If I were Lin Qi, the head of the Oda clan, I would immediately form an alliance with the Hojo and Uesugi clans. Even though the Oda clan’s reputation has been somewhat tarnished after conquering the Tokugawa clan, it’s still not bad on the surface, since they’ve shifted the blame onto us. The Hojo and Uesugi clans, already bogged down in the war, have no choice. They need someone who can hold back at least one general on the other side of the battle line, otherwise they simply won’t have the courage to continue fighting.”

"The reason why the Oda clan is so fearless is that even if we see through this, we are helpless because it is an open conspiracy."

The strategist Sanada Torin nodded, putting himself in the position of the head of the Oda clan, and then the Oda clan's next move became clear.

If the head of the Oda clan, who orchestrated such a grand scheme, truly only aimed to annex the Tokugawa clan and then focus on developing his power, it would only disappoint them.

“The Oda clan is now unstoppable, and they have a good new head of the clan. But…” General Yamagata Masakage also sighed and praised, but then he still showed a confident smile and looked at Sanada Torin and Kosaka Yoshikaze, who were not too worried, and said, “If they don’t take us seriously, this head of the Linqi clan will probably suffer a big fall this time.”

"To form an alliance with the Hojo and Uesugi families? Of course not. While they are locked in a fierce battle, we will have time to stabilize our existing territory."

Although the Takeda clan was certain that Lynch would form an alliance with the Uesugi and Hojo clans, Lynch rejected Yamamoto Isoroku's advice at the same time.

P.S.: Third update. An extra chapter for the generous reward from [Passenger丨]! Although it wasn't showing up on the webpage, they sent me a red envelope, so I'm adding it anyway.

Volume 4, page 490

Chapter 1 495

Lin Qi arrived and left quickly. His black wings enveloped Hojo Soun and Nanjo Ran, scattering a pile of feathers—no, a pile of black wings—before disappearing from the battlefield. All that remained on the battlefield were a bewildered group of Takeda members and a pile of corpses.

"That was..."

After a long silence, Sanada Torin asked her two old comrades-in-arms beside her with some disbelief.

"It's an evil god. I didn't expect that the Hojo family's Onmyoji could already communicate with evil gods. I hope we haven't created a powerful enemy for ourselves."

Yamagata Masakage's face was grim. Although he had a rough idea of ​​the other party's identity, he was unwilling to admit it.

In the end, it was Ninja Emperor Kosaka Yoshikaze who sighed with a solemn expression. Gods and demons really exist in the Japanese region, after all, monsters roam everywhere here.

Evil gods are the highest level of existence, extremely dangerous. The Hojo family is known for producing Onmyoji, but no one expected that they would have reached the point of being able to summon evil gods. Fortunately, the summoned evil gods did not directly participate in the battle, otherwise even the Takeda family would probably have suffered heavy losses.

Of course, the Oda clan had no idea that if Lin Qi had actually joined the war, the consequences would have been far more severe than simply suffering heavy losses.

"Never mind all that, gather the troops and head to the Hojo clan's territory."

Yamagata Masakage dispelled the gloom in his heart and immediately stopped thinking about the evil god. Instead, he began to distribute the spoils after the war. Since the Hojo family had suffered a crushing defeat and the Uesugi family was too busy with internal strife to take care of themselves, it was the best time to attack the Hojo family's territory. Yamagata Masakage did not believe that Nanjo Ran could summon the evil god without paying any price. Otherwise, the evil god would not have left after killing only a few people.

However, before Takeda's army could begin to mobilize, a small cavalry unit rushed towards them from afar, heading directly towards the southwestern border. This immediately made the three generals' hearts skip a beat.

"Urgent report! The Oda clan's army has broken through the southwestern border defenses and its whereabouts are unknown!"

"Not good! Return to defend the main city!"

The devastating news that followed immediately caused the strategist, Torin Sanada, to exclaim in shock!

Putting himself in Lin Qi's shoes, he would have launched a surprise attack on the Takeda clan's main castle at this time. 80% of the Takeda clan's fighting force had already been secretly deployed to this battle; very few people were stationed at the main castle.

However, Sanada Torin was not Lynch after all. His orders had just been issued and the army was beginning to move when another troop of cavalry charged in from the other side.

"Urgent report! The Oda clan's army has launched a surprise attack on the Hojo clan's main castle! They have now occupied the Hojo clan's territory!"

This intelligence, however, left everyone stunned!

"What?! How could it be so fast!"

Even the strategist Sanada Torin could hardly believe it! The speed was incredible! No, to be precise, it was incredibly accurate! The timing was impeccable!

According to the existing intelligence, when the Takeda clan began their attack on the Uesugi clan, Lin Qi's army broke through to the southwest. Then, without changing direction, the army headed straight for the Hojo clan's territory, as if they had already determined that the Hojo clan would be defeated!

This wasn't just being prescient! It was as if everything was under Lin Qi's control!

A gust of cold wind blew by, and everyone on the battlefield involuntarily felt a chill.

In a brightly lit hall, hundreds of orbs of light floated from bottom to top. The orbs at the bottom were the smallest and dimmer, while those at the top became larger and more dazzling. At the very top were twelve orbs of light as bright as the sun. All the other orbs of light maintained a considerable distance from these twelve orbs of light.

This is the Pantheon, the gathering place of the gods of the Heavenly Powers. Those clusters of light floating in mid-air are all true gods who possess divine power!

If Lynch saw this, he would probably explode in anger immediately. Because this is the very place that appeared in Lynch's memories when the Dark Bible was sealed away during its fourth unsealing!

A seemingly insignificant ball of light slowly drifted in, transforming into a handsome, androgynous deity. He knelt on one knee before the gods and respectfully said, "[Heavenly Eye] has detected an unfamiliar fluctuation of dark divine power. Although it appeared for a very short time, it was very strong. Despite being at the pseudo-god level, its strength surpasses that of an ordinary true god."

The Heavenly Eye is one of the most powerful weapons of the Heavenly forces. Its main function in peacetime is to monitor the divine power fluctuations of countless worlds and record all the gods.

"Are those idiots already itching to make their move? They really have no patience at all. Since they've made the first move, it's time for us to make ours too."

At the highest point, one of the twelve most dazzling flames chuckled and teased.

This so-called unfamiliar divine power fluctuation did not affect them too much. They were all candidates for the main god and would not make a big fuss over a false god who was not even a true god.

In their view, this divine power fluctuation was a trusted confidant secretly cultivated by the main god candidate of the Hell forces, who had been suppressing the eruption of his strength. He would suddenly ascend to the position of main god when the main gods started their war, catching them off guard. This was a common tactic used by the main god candidates of the Hell forces.

According to the original rules of the game, it is not yet time for the gods to directly participate in the battle. However, since it has been discovered that someone from the Hell forces has taken action, the Heaven forces should officially send their own gods to the field.

"However... the Heavenly Eye's reaction seems a bit too intense, it's like... it encountered an acquaintance."

The neutral-looking deity kneeling on the ground hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke of the abnormal reaction of the Heavenly Eye. Even when detecting the divine power fluctuations of a true god, the Heavenly Eye should not have reacted in this way.

"Is that so? It seems he has inherited some remarkable fragments of divinity. Let the nearest main god eliminate him. Since he has already shown his face, there's no need to keep him around."

The candidate for the main god, who had initially paid little attention to this matter, finally took it seriously, but still made a decision very casually, as if it were a matter of course to let an adult child take out the trash.

"Yes."

At this moment, Lin Qi had no idea that his accidental show of bravado would completely ignite a real war of gods!

Meanwhile, Lin Qi is about to face his first truly prepared Supreme God! And this Supreme God has come specifically to find him! Crisis is quietly approaching!

P.S.: I've finally gotten back to the main storyline! Thanks to the reviewers on Feilu (a Chinese online literature platform), who reminded me! The main plot of my book is about an assassin who obtains the Dark Bible and gradually becomes a god!

What's wrong with me?

"I'm not dead?!"

"No, you died, and the Hojo family was defeated. The Hojo family no longer exists. But someone exchanged everything they had with God to resurrect you."

"Lan! Where's Lan?!"

"She's gone, you'll never see her again."

"How could this be... how could this happen! Ran!!!"

"Do you know why you're here? Because I am the god who made the deal with Lan."

"Give Lan back to me! Give her back to me!"
