"Ah."

Uchiha Sho smiled and nodded, watching Akechi Mitsuhisa and the Hatamoto samurai gradually become excited after defeating the "powerful" demon.

Knowing the specifics, he changed the subject and gave his subordinates a reminder.

"Now is not the time to celebrate, after all, we haven't killed her yet, and she could turn around and attack us at any time."

"Moreover, we've made such a commotion here, but that village is so quiet. This is clearly not right."

"this?"

Reminded, Mitsuhiro Akechi quickly calmed down.

Having come this far, he knew very well that his lord was not a merciful person.

"what do you mean?"

Chapter 239, The Benevolent King

Excited, Mitsuhiro Akechi quickly considered several possibilities after being reminded by Uchiha Sō.

"Did that monster, unable to break through the defenses, choose to vent its anger by slaughtering the villagers?"

“They even used violence to incite the villagers to become the vanguard in attacking us.”

"Ah."

Uchiha looked at Akechi Mitsuhisa with approval. This man truly lived up to his reputation as a famous figure in Japanese history; he was indeed quite something.

After ruling this world in the future, Akechi Mitsuhisa is a very good person to govern.

It seems we need to bring him into the Heavenly Court.

"My lord, what we will do next..."

Seeing that his guess had been confirmed, a cold glint flashed in Akechi Mitsuhisa's eyes, and he made a gesture of tapping his head.

His meaning was quite clear.

If the villagers of Maple Village are truly driven by monsters to attack the camp, then we won't care about anything else and will have no choice but to unleash a massacre!

It's just a village; it's no big deal if it's destroyed.

Looking at the "killer" in front of him, Uchiha Xiang felt that his decision just now was absolutely correct.

The Heavenly Court needs this kind of "talent".

You're such a hypocrite, so disgusting!

Under normal circumstances, Mitsuhiro Akechi's choice was not wrong.

but……

That place is the origin of everything. Putting aside the Sacred Tree that allowed Kagome to travel through "time," he couldn't do that just for the sake of the Shikon Jewel...

After all, obtaining the Shikon Jewel is the fastest way to establish a stable passage between this world and the Great Luo Heaven.

"Soul-Scattering Iron Claws!"

At that moment, Inuyasha's powerful roar suddenly came from the gap in the fiery trench.

Immediately afterwards, five beams of light flashed, and the already dwindling amount of hair in that area was completely torn apart.

The residual force of Inuyasha's attack penetrated through the fringe of hair and was almost upon the samurai who were fighting with it.

This startled all of them.

"Artillery team, prepare to fire!"

Faced with the unexpected situation, the commander of the artillery unit, which had been prepared in advance, ordered an attack.

The first and second formations quickly retreated, having witnessed firsthand the terrifying power of their lord's "enhanced" cannons.

"Rumble..."

One after another, iron pellets coated with gunpowder shot out, heading towards Er Gouzi, who was preparing to give the Hojo army a taste of their power.

"what?"

Before Inuyasha's smug expression had faded, a strong sense of crisis washed over him.

He instinctively stopped in his tracks and leaped backward with joy.

Inuyasha's keen sense of danger saved his life. Although he dodged the gunpowder explosion, the flying metal shards still caused him great harm.

If it weren't for the extraordinary nature of his fire rat fur coat, he wouldn't have been just blasted to pieces and left covered in blood.

"Inuyasha!"

Seeing Inuyasha fall heavily to the ground, covered in blood, Kagome and Granny Kaede, who had followed behind, immediately shouted.

"Gentlemen of the Hojo family, Inuyasha is not an enemy. Please show mercy."

At the same time, the old man and the young man exerted all their strength and quickly ran to Inuyasha's side.

"My lord?"

The elite troops under Uchiha Shinobu's command, selected by him, were all men of unwavering will, and they had no regard for gender or age.

There is only the saying "all beings are equal"!

For them, only Uchiha Zō's orders could make them stop.

"stop!"

Uchiha Eiji looked at Kagome, who stood firmly in front of Inuyasha, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

What a pure and enviable relationship!

“Bring them all here.”

Turning back to sit on the small stool on the command platform, Uchiha Xiang gave the order.

"Hey!"

Akechi Mitsuhisa nodded, then led his samurai to bring the men over.

When the two people and the dog appeared in front of Uchiha Eizo, Kagome and Granny Kaede walked over on their own, while the dog, who was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, was brought over by several samurai with swords at his sides.

Before the two sides could even begin to communicate, several mechanical and rigid figures slowly appeared outside the Hojo military camp.

Those villagers were under the control of Nifa Jieluo. Judging from the situation, they knew that the other party was preparing to manipulate the villagers to attack the military camp.

The gamble was to use human lives to create a breach in the defenses, hoping to see if his own tidal wave could drown everything.

Anyway, she won't lose out. If it doesn't work today, there's always tomorrow. These villagers are enough, and there are other villagers around.

She's determined to collect all the hair from this powerful army!

As expected of a competent monster who dominates the region!

"Your Excellency Kirin of Sagami, the villagers of Maple Village are all your loyal subjects."

"Please follow the path of benevolence and righteousness, and rescue these poor people from the clutches of the monsters."

Grandma Feng was getting anxious and quickly prostrated herself on the ground to pray.

On the way here, she kept thinking about how to protect the villagers.

After much thought, I decided to try using the name of benevolence and righteousness to put the other party in a difficult position.

"The Governor of the Hojo family."

Kagome, seeing Granny Kaede's demeanor beside her, quickly stepped forward and spoke.

"Please help us. These villagers are innocent, and as a daimyo, it is your duty to protect the people under your rule."

As soon as Kagome spoke, Granny Kaede was shocked.

From Kagome's perspective on education in her future world, this is absolutely correct.

After all, even though modern Japan has a rigid class system, those in high positions still talk about protecting the people.

Regardless of their actual practices, that's certainly how they advertise it.

However, she forgot the era she was living in.

That was the Warring States period, when human life was as cheap as grass.

Let alone Uchiha Sho's current status as a daimyo, even samurai gentlemen, if they were unhappy, could test their swords on the lives of ordinary people in a minute.

They will not be punished afterward.

This is the Warring States period in Japan!

Therefore, in Granny Feng's eyes, even if Uchiha Sō's predecessor had this reputation for benevolence, it was only relative.

If you use kind words to put the other person on a positive footing, they might be more likely to accept your advice.

However, if Kagome's words corner the other party, and they suddenly become enraged and decide to "eliminate" them all, it's not impossible!

“Great overlord of the East China Sea, my granddaughter is not quite right in the head. Please forgive her. I apologize to you here.”

For a moment, Granny Feng kowtowed repeatedly.

"What nonsense are you spouting, woman?"

As Granny Kaede predicted, Akechi Mitsuhisa's face darkened immediately upon hearing Kagome's words.

"Hmph, those people outside are our lord's loyal subjects, but aren't the warriors inside the camp also loyal subjects?"

"The situation outside is unpredictable and dangerous. Being too soft-hearted will only allow the monsters to succeed in their schemes."

"Moreover, they should feel proud to have given their lives as loyal servants of their lord for his cause."

Facing the two people and the dog below him, Akechi Hikaru naturally spoke.

In fact, to prevent his lord from being put in a difficult position, he even offered his advice directly.

"My lord, please do not hesitate, for the sake of ensuring the safety of more people."

"Please leave the rest to me."

A good subordinate should know how to take the blame for their leader.

Besides, he doesn't compete with the world, so why would he want such a good reputation? Would he want to make his lord wary of him?
