As the White Snake looked around, she saw soldiers from the Imperial Guard everywhere.

It twisted its massive body and charged toward this side, as if it had seen its father's killer.

Chapter 142 This thing is still the best.

In just one minute.

The situation has completely reversed.

The White Snake regarded the Imperial Army as her complete enemy.

The invaders went from hunters to prey.

The white snake's enormous body instilled a great deal of pressure and fear in the soldiers, and each lash of its tail and bite took the lives of several soldiers.

The imperial court collapsed in an instant.

Genichiro then took the opportunity to have the Ashina soldiers retreat to safety.

He realized that the white serpent's target was the Imperial Household Army soldiers dressed in the same standard armor. And unlike the Ashina soldiers who were still cheering, he knew the white serpent wasn't there to help Ashina.

Although it's unknown how Lu Ye got the White Serpent to target the Interior Ministry's army, judging from the White Serpent's furious behavior, if they don't retreat now, it might turn around and attack the Ashina side after it has killed all the Interior Ministry's soldiers.

Looking at the scene before him, Lu Ye, who was lying on the maple tree, was panting and his eyes were bloodshot.

He set off in the morning and it only took him a little over four hours to chop the dried persimmon with one stroke. But from that very second, he has been hunted by the white snake ever since.

I've been running around for half a day without rest.

"Violet always says I'm her little dog... I'm really exhausted now."

However, this turned the tide of the battle today.

Seeing the White Snake venting her anger on the soldiers of the inner palace, Lu Ye sincerely felt that those soldiers were truly pitiful.

"That white snake is really terrifying when it gets angry..."

But it's not over yet.

The White Serpent's rage is only temporary; it will leave after killing these Interior Ministry troops on the battlefield. The Interior Ministry troops will temporarily retreat, but they will not easily give up their attack on Ashina.

We need to let these invaders in the inner court experience it for themselves.

Experience the terror of a guardian ape whose belongings have been taken from its deceased wife.

It's time...

Lu Ye took out the fragrant water lily from her storage space.

A strange fragrance filled the air, and the evening breeze carried the scent away.

After a short rest, Lu Ye disappeared into the forest.

After a brief period of panic and flight, the Imperial Army regrouped in the maple forest behind them, using muskets and cannons to deal with the white snake from a high vantage point, and then using the "National Collapse Cannon" to pierce its scales.

The so-called "national collapse cannon" originated from Portugal and, simply put, is the earliest form of cannon.

The Kunikō-goku cannons are also very precious. There were fewer than 100 in the entire country of Japan at the end of the Sengoku period. Originally, these dozen or so Kunikō-goku cannons were the trump card that the invading army was preparing to attack Ashina. Every shell was extremely precious, but now they had to be brought out ahead of schedule.

There were also several Kunisaku cannons in Ashina, which were there to deal with the attack from the Interior Ministry army.

The cannonball clearly caused effective damage to the white snake, which writhed in pain as the red guard approached, targeting the areas where its scales were broken.

Although snake scales are hard, the snake's body remains soft.

Under the overwhelming force of the Imperial Army, the White Snake found herself in a losing position.

It was powerless against the powerful Red Guardian that had already attached itself to its body, and the pain caused it to howl incessantly.

The Imperial Army continued its attack on the White Serpent.

But just then...

The roar of charge resounded, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the figures of warhorses charged forward.

That was the Oni-gyobu, and behind him was the Ashina army.

Ashina's reinforcements have also arrived.

For some reason, they once again stepped onto the battlefield.

Meanwhile, in the Inner Palace's main camp...

"Keep firing!!"

Under the general's command, the soldiers carried out the attack in an orderly manner.

"You think you're safe just because you have this deformed giant snake helping you?" He sneered. "You'll all die under the guns and cannons of my inner palace sooner or later!!"

The reserves of muskets and cannons are still sufficient, and the general is determined to win this battle.

But no one in the crowd noticed that a foot soldier, as he passed by, slipped a blue and white lotus flower into the gap of the general's armor.

Just as the general was basking in the overwhelming sense of victory, he suddenly noticed something and looked towards the forest behind him.

Trees were blown away; that was absolute violence.

Then came the apes.

The sheer number of monkeys was astonishing, and some of them were carrying knives and spears, while others were carrying muskets...

Even more outrageous is that one of them is an ape with a katana stuck diagonally in its neck!

"Roar!!"

The guardian ape roared in fury and charged towards the Imperial Guard's army...

"I didn't expect them to attack headquarters directly."

In the forest, Lu Ye, who had taken off his armor from the Imperial Guard, clicked his tongue in amazement.

Those annoying shells are gone too.

Genichiro and the others' charge was informed by Lu Ye.

Although Oni-Geibu was skeptical of what Rohō said, Genichirō looked at Rohō's exhausted appearance and believed him.

The Red Guardians, with their superior combat power, were still fighting Genichiro on the White Serpent's body, while the ordinary soldiers were nothing more than cannon fodder to the Guardian Ape.

With the combination of the Guardian Ape and the White Serpent, the Imperial Army was utterly defeated.

Side Quest: Completed

[Reward: 10000 points]

Lu Ye breathed a long sigh of relief.

Now that the taskbar has popped up, this matter is considered closed.

After today, the Interior Ministry will have to think twice before attacking Ashina again. After all, today's experience will make them think that the Guardian Ape and the White Serpent God are here to protect Ashina. Otherwise, why would they only attack them?

After receiving the points, Lu Ye immediately bought a Gatling gun from the store.

Just then.

—Danger!

A chill ran down the back of my head as a blade flashed through the darkness, hurtling towards me.

Lu Ye ducked almost reflexively, dodging the fatal blow.

As if anticipating his dodge, a foot descended from the sky and struck Lu Ye squarely in the back.

Lu Ye rolled around on the ground several times before stopping, feeling that the bones in his shoulder were cracked and that his body was starting to feel uncomfortable.

I've been poisoned...

As he stood before him, Kusagimaru saw the attacker's face clearly.

There are two people in total.

Purple clothes, a mask, and that tall stature...

Lone Shadows, ninjas of the Inner Court.

"Who is it...it turns out to be a lackey of the Inner Court..."

Lu Ye slowly stood up.

"Hmph, you must have been the one who lured that white snake here," one of the lone figures said.

He had noticed Lu Ye from the moment she jumped off the cliff.

Lu Ye didn't say anything, but raised his hand and emptied the bullets from the revolver.

But this was stopped by the Lone Shadows, who were prepared in advance.

"Give up. My Immortal Peak Kick technique is poisonous, and you're already poisoned. Tell me how to lure the White Serpent, and I can give you a quick death."

"Trying to use this trick against Ashina?"

Lu Ye laughed, took out the purple, crooked-mouthed gourd from his waist, and gulped it down.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ye pulled out a Gatling gun from the store.

"Can you stop this thing?"

By the time the Lone Shadows realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Without any pre-rotation, the bullets poured out, riddling the two men's bodies with holes.

From the darkness came a sigh from someone.

"This thing is really useful..."

Chapter 143 Victory in War

Dawn was breaking.

Ashina Castle.

In the Japanese-style room on the lower floor of the castle tower.

After bandaging the wound, Lu Ye stood up.
